[Q] Softkey Remapping - Continuum General

I want to remap my softkeys to completely eliminate the search button. I just want 3 softkeys, kinda like ICS. Possible?

The custom framework maker? Is that compatible with EC09? And how easy is it to use?

Yes. That one., it is comparable with ec09, and very east to use. You need to have adb and jdk installed (which you should anyway, if you want to do anything to your phone as a fail safe). There are a multitude of tutorials out there on that. But, if you need help, let me know.

Okay, so I figured it out, sort of. I connected my phone, pulled the framework-res.apk, changed the softkey look and remap, decided to remove the weather/ticker history while I was there, repackaged it, and made the flashable zip.
The problem is, once I've flashed it via CWM, my phone gets stuck on the verizon wireless animation during boot and shuts off. The softkeys are lit up, and I can see they are still the old original keys. Am I doing something wrong? It looks like my phone isn't working anymore as it won't boot all the way through.

Try reflashing the original framework to return to your starting point.

Nope. Never got any errors. It said successful for everything I did. But regardless of what I edited, my phone always got stuck on the verizon animation and randomly vibrated from time to time.
I feel like there's some setting I overlooked... but I don't know what. Could you make some instructions for me or something? I literally have no idea what I'm messing up, and I really want some ICS softkeys haha

I thought maybe it was me using the wrong settings or something in TB101's Framework Maker, so I went to Cisco's theme thread and downloaded his EC09 ICS theme. But same problem... framework FC's. So it might be my ROM or one of my apps?
Thanks man, I really appreciate the help!

Are You deodexed? Go to /system/app using any root browser, and see if you have any files that say "odex" on the end. If so, you can't do any if these mods. You need to flash a deodexed rom.

Alright, so good news. I got Cisco's ICS theme up and running. Even though my ROM was deodexed, I thought there might be a problem with it, so I flashed pat's clean EC09 on top of it. Then I tried installing the theme, and it took on the first go. Thanks for all the assistance Tx!

Your ICS theme is dope, thanks for making it!
One question though, is AOSP lockscreen out for EC09? I noticed it's a modified puzzle lock, which is really neat, but I loved the functionality of silencing my phone from the lock screen.
Additionally, regarding the puzzle lock, I noticed the outline for where the puzzle piece fits is above where the piece actually needs to be to unlock the phone... any fix for that? Really a minor issue though, just wondered if it's something you knew about or something local on my phone!

I think I did a tutorial on how to change to aosp lock.
Before you do that though, go into /data/local and look for a file called "enable glass lock". If it's there, delete it. ciscogee's ics it's built on trailblazers mods, which include aosp lock.

[ROM][Updated 04/08/11]De-sensed DAS_BAMF 1.4 Non-Themed[ROM]

This is DAS_BAMF 1.4 non-themed as much as I could get it. I did this for myself but a couple people were interested so with Adrynalyne's blessing I decided to post it up for those that do not like sense. I used Go Launcher EX to replace Rosie(sense launcher) and also included the free Go SMS Pro, and Go Missed Notifications (if you want to use a different launcher you can adb push to /system/app/ or just open the ROM zip with 7zip and remove GO Launcher and replace with Launcher Pro, or ADW, etc)
IF YOU BORK YOUR PHONE, THAT'S ON YOU
Instructions
1. MAKE A BACKUP
2. Wipe data/cache/system/dalvik
2. Download ROM
3. Flash ROM via CWR
4. Download one of Adryn's kernels from ROM Manager (under MrBobrowitz's section) or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014239
5. Flash kernel
6. Be happy
Note: there seems to be a little bug with all 3rd party launchers where if you you hit the phone button and the dialer pops up, the contact list is blank and the smart dial does not work. To remedy this long press phone, select a new application and restart Launcher Pro then add the phone back, you may also have to open up the dialer and try to dial a few numbers and delete them and the contacts should appear. Not really sure why this happens.
Again, I did this for me, so I won't be offering any real support for it, and I seriously doubt Adrynalyne will either so flash at your own risk. I have been running this for a couple days and it has been working very well for me, and I will probably keep running it until something compelling is released, with that said, have fun and flash away.
All credit goes to Adrynalyne and ThatDudeButch and anyone else that had anything to do with Das_BAMF
Download ROM:
http://www.multiupload.com/7SF8YE0XQ3
I forgot to add the GO Launcher Notifications, you can find them on the Android Market or here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6012821/com.gau.golauncherex.notification-1.apk
Additional Kernels:
You know where to find them, there's a lot floating around right now...

GPS and Gingerbread

I'm currently on my third Epic and thought I finally got one that wouldn't give me issues (The first kept locking up, the second didn't have a working proximity sensor) but the third turned out to have some crazy GPS issues.
GPS would randomly turn off and say it was trying to connect and stay that way. Even in crystal clear skys when not moving, the GPS would just not work. Sometimes it would work only to lose connection a few minutes later.
I took it into the Sprint store and the only thing they could do for me was just flash the phone back to 2.2.
Is this purely the Gingerbread update not working (when it comes to GPS) or have other people experienced no problems with GPS on stock gingerbread?
Basically I'm debating whether I should call customer service and complain until I get a new one, try the gingerbread update again and hope it works this time, or root and hope the GPS works as well.
Any help is well appreciated.

The GPS is very wonky on the ei22 update... I would root and flash a different rom. All of the roms have the gps fix... if you would like to stay stock there is a gps fix floating around somewhere that you can flash over stock rooted ei22

No need if you have root permissions go into es file manager ( if you have it if not get it) go into your favorites and open the / or the phone icon go to the system file then find the vendor file then go to the bin file and hold the gpsd file there and go into its properties and check this:

That is not his problem. Stock EI22 has the half ass library files resulting in lock ups and very few locks. He needs to flash a custom ROM or just deodexed stock and the GPS fix containing the good library files.

Edit: So flashed this Rom and looks great. Love the lock ring. But why can't I use the android keyboard? It force closes when I change it to that input. Also battery percentage? Not showing either? I did a clean flash. Wiped everything and install seemed to have gone through just fine.. anyone else had any issues? Thanks in advanced.

Thanks for the fix. What about the percentage for the battery? Is it not on this one? Or is there a setting that needs to be messed with?
Thanks again
OK, so I've been running this ROM since the day it came out and I completely love it. The theme is fantastic, the battery life is amazing, and it's pretty darn smooth. Even though it's tough to find fault with the build, I will offer up the few issues/requests I've experienced over the last week or so (prioritized).
1. I can't install different kernels. I've tried Ziggy and Imoseyon(sp?)'s latest, and each hangs after the HTC screen.
2. I get FC's on D7 Reader and Dolphin Browser. They're few and far between, so it's only a minor inconvinence. Plus, I have no way to confirm it's ROM related.
3. There's a slight overlap in the header of the Mail.apk (where it says All Messages). Obviously very minor.
4. I'd like to see a flashable zip to disable the volume rocker wake; I know most like it but I use Widgetlocker so it just wreaks havok in my pocket.
5. Would like battery percentage and removal of GPS icon.
6. Can we add some ability to modify the quick settings? I personally don't use Power Efficiency and would like Brightness Level and Flashlight integrated.
7. 7 in 1 and 4 in 1 Power and Reboot menus.
8. Every now and then Exchange has issues syncing. It repeats syncing over and over until I reboot. It's only happened a couple times, and may HTC's issue, not the ROM's.
Like I said, I love this ROM and can't see a reason to leave it (unless someone gets data working on ICS). The above list is just some personal desires. Notice that I haven't said anything is broken or sluggish or ugly. Again, this ROM is great and I'd recommend it to anyone. Thanks for all the great work fkfmfz, I'll be donating shortly...

It's a legitimate request I've seen before. I mean, why let your old devices just waste away when your children or family members could totally use them as dirt cheap replacements for iPods and such. You don't want them making accidental emergency calls or circumventing the settings you put in place.
Should be able to completely remove the radio somehow so that the cellular stuff just won't work.

Maybe this is a project for some of the budding devs on xda. In theory, it sounds like a simple change. Simply remove the phone aspects of a rom and repackage. I'm sure it's harder than it sounds in terms of stability and usability though (I'm not a dev) =/

Eh, some apps certainly wouldn't work, anything that needs to communicate through telephony and such. But really shouldn't be that difficult.
I'll come back when I'm not too terribly busy with some links about breaking down and customizing ROMs and such. I know that I've found a thread specifically for this kind of thing for another device, but there are a few of them I read up on so it may take a while to locate. Hell, you could just about remove the phone and contacts apps and edit your build.prop and leave an existing ROM intact. I'm no dev or anything though lol so I'll look around.

TeamDRH over in the gTablet forums have added something similar to this into their ICS ROM for gTablet. Might be a useful place to look.

Not the OG article I had read, but after a bit of Googling I came up with a script that you should be able to set to run at boot which will disable your radio.
You may also be able to dial *#*#INFO#*#* and choose turn off radio, but that will not be persistent across reboots. I would use the script and a third-party launcher that can hide apps so that you'll keep the phone and contacts apps and such for stability, but not have them readily available.
*EDIT:
And a flashable zip! Thank you jellybellys!

Just to elaborate about that flashable zip, it will actually "permanently" (until you wipe and install another ROM) disable the radio and clean out the apps that you don't want. Also installs some kind of binaries if they're currently absent from the ROM. Great find, I'm glad you asked about this!
exactly, my first thought would be just to use titanium backup and disable/freeze but not remove apps such as dialer or what you dont want/need. not sure if this will work but its worth a try. probably a few treads across xda on this (especially on older model phones) id search in those and see if there is a quick answer short of developing a whole new rom
Yeah I use that zip from jellybean but like android.process forced close alone with like sms app this is all on miui

So you used the zip, and once booted those processes were force closing?
I'll try it out on my phone, see if I can't replicate the issue and speak with the dev. Exactly what MIUI build are you on?
*EDIT:
Installed on EliteMod 120316 and upon first boot did get something about the mms process FC'ing. Upon subsequent reboots no more message though, have you tried another reboot? You had two processes FC?

Some of the experimental roms work like that

This is a swing in the dark...
Try remove htcril.so or libhtcril.so from system/lib.... That should disable the radio and keep Wi-Fi

So that's the MIUI.us "Pure English?" I've just downloaded the last available build and will soon flash and then install jellybellys's zip. I'm hoping that will get me the same FC's as you are.
Once you've gotten home after the weekend, try rebooting it a time or two and see if it consistently gives you the FC's.
Also, just curious, but are you using MIUI just because it's the most similar Android overlay to iOS? To make it a bit easier for your friend? Because you could hook him up with some ICS goodness otherwise
*EDIT:
Ok, looking through his updater-script vs. my /system/app/ directory, it looks like MIUI names a couple of apk's differently. I'm currently installing a fresh MIUI so that I can see the directory before moddified by the OG jellybellys zip, then I'll update his zip to reflect those different names and try to run it again. If successful, I'll post the modified file and hopefully we can get your friend a fun little multi-tasking media player
Ok sweet umm can u send me the edit zip

Had a good look at the flashable zip, very simple. I need to learn to code, I guess this is a good small place to start lol
All I did was unzip his file, change a few things and added a couple extra lines to remove one more app he hadn't worried with. As said above this will disable your radio, install the radiooptions binary if absent, and remove a number of apk's from the /system/app/ directory.
Removed apps:
TelephonyProvider.apk - cellular service
TelocationProvider.apk - emergency location service (I just don't see the need if you're not connecting to cellular networks)
Phone.apk - your phone app - should also get rid of dialer, I'm trying to find out why it doesn't.
Mms.apk - messaging app
All credit to jellybellys @ rootzwiki.com of course, I couldn't have written this myself or anything.

Again, the phone app will still be on the homescreen and you actually can't remove it. It won't dial anything, and will just cause the acore process to FC if you try. It's looking like the only way to get it really removed is to modify the ROM's zip so that it never installs the app to begin with.
I'm going to restore the apps again, see if Titanium Backup can't do a better job than outright removing the app does.

[WIP 5/3/14] CSC Feature edits for GS5

CSC Features are cool because you can enable little features that are for whatever reason turned off by Samsung. Here are some that I have found across the internet.
A.) PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE MESSING WITH THIS!! Either make a backup in recovery, or make a backup of your feature.xml by copying the original/unedited to your SD Card.
B.) Download a root browser and grant it root permission.
C.) Go to system/csc/feature.xml
D.) Find the lines that you wanna change, and change it to what I have underlined/bolded. OR some are not in there and you can just add those lines right in (lines that are not in that can just be added will be highlighted in blue). Make sure the new lines are between <FeatureSet> </FeatureSet> . Now it's time for the features that can be enabled:
1. Enable call duration in call log: <CscFeature_Contact_DisableCallDuration>false</ (thanks to @eyecon82)
2. Enable camera shutter sound on/off menu: <CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
3. Add an exit menu to the stock web browser: <CscFeature_Web_AddOptionToTerminate>true</CscFeature_Web_AddOptionToTerminate>
4. Enable infinite scrolling in home screen and app drawer: <CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>false</CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>
5. Enable scheduled message: <CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMessage>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMessage>
<CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMsgBox>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMsgBox>
6. Enable prompt to select recording mode: <CscFeature_Camera_CamcorderEnablePromptPopupToSelectRecMode></CscFeature_Camera_CamcorderEnablePromptPopupToSelectRecMode>
7. Enables Rotation control icon in Gallery: <CscFeature_Gallery_AddAutoRotationIcon>true</CscFeature_Gallery_AddAutoRotationIcon>
8. Stock browser requests Desktop site by default: <CscFeature_Web_EnableDesktopSiteAsDefault>true</CscFeature_Web_EnableDesktopSiteAsDefault>
E.) When done make sure you save the changes, and reboot.
F.) ENJOY!
Gonna be working hard on this tonite peeps to ensure which ones are working and which are not... just gotta get thru stupid work first! -__-
Expect a nice update tonite peeps. PLEASE if you know anything about this stuff, feel free to add on!
Good stuff man! I did the shutter sound and exit on stock browser. I'm not sure if it pertains to what I did or if it would have any effect on it (I doubt), but I lost my ability to press and hold to get punctuation on my Samsung keyboard. Lol

Oh man. It's cool. No worries at all. Good reason for me to go back to swype anyway. Lol. But that was the first thing I had noticed after I made changes. Certainly not a big deal. And yes, everything works like a charm.

Thanks for notifying.... can anyone else confirm this?!
Any idea if the radio can be disabled/enabled thru csc features? In Australia, there is not radio on the s5. Not sure whether it's a hardware or software issue, but in others.xml file there is a line for <CscFeature_FMRadio_FrequencySpaceAs>100</CscFeature_FMRadio_FrequencySpaceAs>

I believe with original Touchwiz home, you have to MOD the TouchwizHome.apk to have infinite scroll through pages, as seen in MOD faster touchwiz launcher thread (see Index for easy link). Works from just apk push and no csc mod.
Also, here are the screenshots I promised. Says "null" for feature but my be able to MOD but wonder what it does...

Hey Joe. I'm thinking I may have deleted something else while doing my entries for enabling something. You think me doing that may have borked something? Would you happen to know the entry for the keyboard symbols.
Sorry to bring back up. I just got to thinking about it again and its bugging me (I don't even use the keyboard anymore lol) but good chance for me to learn something if another member has this problem.

You honestly probably did delete something man, you should've copied the original/unedited to your EXT SD Card so you had a backup of it just in case you fudged something up. I'm sorry but I do not know the CSC edit for keyboard symbols

I had it on my SD, as that was the first thing I did. But accidently did some cleaning to my SD. Lol. No biggie. I'll get it right.
Thanks for the insight man.

Once I got home, I planned on gaining root on my brides S5 and comparing. I could just go back to stock unroot too. But I want to learn these edits. So trying NOT to do that. Lol
You could upload. But please, make it NO priority to do so. Lol. It's just literally a learning experience for me now.
