I tried using the search but it ignores two character words. Anyone have the apk for the IM app in the bionix roms? I installed fusion and would like to have it.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I'm pretty sure it's just the default IM app out of Cyanogen/Vanilla. I'll post it up tomorrow if nobody has already.
Just a suggestion, if you make a Titanium backup of all your apps, it saves the apps that came pre-installed as well.
Just download bionix, unzip it and take it yourself in the system/app folder. Use adb push or root explorer to copy it to your own system/app after making a nandroid backup.

weird, I just did that (because I'm a nice guy, so I figured I'd just do it for whoever would want it) but I couldn't find it... probably just didn't look hard enough...
It's not you... it looks like it was removed from Bionix Final. It used to be in the data/app folder, not system/app, but I don't have 1.9.1 anymore to pull it out.
Sorry.
is this the one?

installed ok but when I tried to sign in to AIM, it told me it couldn't read the phone number from my sim card?
Weird, I just extracted it from the rom.

With the info above I found this.after install I got the sim error, but after restart it works for aol and msn at least. Cannot try yahoo.

Well, I was actually looking in 1.9.1, but if it was in data/app, that's why I couldn't find it.

I lost swype and I cannot get it back. I lost it along with slacker, memos, mobiTV and the other apps that came with it.
Any way how to get them back?

I think you might get better answers by asking this question in the hybrid tread?
I read that you need to install swype "beta" version to get swype back.
I'm sure the other apps can be found in the market I'm sure?
Did you even run a Titanium Backup to restore apps?
Yes, I do a scheduled Titanium backup and backup before installing a rom.
You didn't lose them... you removed them by flashing that ROM...

Buy root explorer, move the swype.apk from vibrant9 (or vibrant7,6,etc.) into your system/apps. Worked very well for me.
swype is the only one thats been giving me problems... others just need to be reinstalled.
can i get an explicit confirmation from those of you that says it works, that on r1, not the first hybrid (that worked for me), you were able to pull the swype apk from vibrant9 or whatever and get it working on r1?
EDIT: fix works. just pull and copy system/lib file as indicated below
Install the Evo Swype apk that's floating around. It works

Eugenes roms don't have the bloatwate i.e. mobi tv and others. If you want them, back them up using root explorer before flashing streamlined roms. But one of the reasons the roms have a snappier response is that the extra programs aren't bogging it down.

It's not working for me... I pushed both Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so to their respective folders, but when I select it as an input method it shows an error that says swype hasn't been configured for my device, and I can't switch languages... what should I check?

you can download the bionix rom if you don't have it , unzip and pull the .apk from the system/app directory.
Tried that. Didn't work. I used astro and tried to install the swype apk from 1.8. I get installation unsuccessful.

Instead of installing it, try moving it to the system/app directory with something like Root Explorer

oh i didnt realize you dont want metamorph on your phone.....its tough to believe that some people can live without it hahaha
anyways, easiest way to install your swype is place the .apk in C:/AndroidSDK/tools on your PC, then access your device through adb (command prompt) and simply type this command:
adb push Swype.apk /system/app (then press enter)
then bang! your new Swype.apk was installed over the one you currently have

To the OP, if you are trying to get a specific theme only for Swype, then just use my metamorphs. The Bionix rom uses a Non voice input version of Swype if i remember correctly, and the theme is one of the old ones I found and had in my non v.i. thread. Currently, my metamorphs are for voice input only, but i promise, it's the simplest way to create, distribute, and apply these themes. Sure, it's easier to just replace an .apk with an update.zip, which would allow me to edit the libSwypeCore.so file to change the trail line color as well, but it is also a monumental undertaking in themeing software with REAL fragmentation issues. You thought Android was bad? BAH! I don't even know a rough estimate of the number of versions of Swype being utilized now... If I were to theme the .apk itself, then I would have to do a separate one for Vibrant, Epic, Fascinate, Captivate, GT-I9000, Evo, DX, DInc, etc, etc, until I FINALLY get ONE theme for ALL the versions of Swype. Metamorph eliminates the need for that. You can just install Metamorph, apply the theme, and then uninstall metamorph. You won't lose your theme

I'm running bionix 1.3.1 and I've noticed that the calendar app doesn't support links for phone numbers and addresses. Meaning that I can't click on a number or address from an appointment and have my phone jump to the dialer or google maps. It was a function before on 1.2.1.
Any thoughts on how I can get that back?
Thanks

EDIT: Could I pull the calendar.apk from 1.2.1 and push it into 1.3.1 or would that cause some problems?
You can unzip the file and pull from there. Or go to the team whiskey website and ask them to post the zip. You'll need to rename and save current calendar to sd and then push the new one to the phone using root explorer. It shouldnt cause problems. Maybe just search the forum for specific instructions on how to do so.

Have you tried this yet? Any luck? I've been trying to figure out how to get the stock calendar on Bionix V 1.3.1, but all the instructions I've found on XDA seem to be for Eclair, and I messed up my phone pretty badly trying to follow them before I realized that.
Any luck with this approach? Where did you get the file and what were your steps?
I'm in the same place, Bionix 1.3.1 is awesome, I can't go back after experiencing the quickness, but I need the calendar to be updated. The calendar is one of my most used apps, I need it working properly and to have hyper links.
Thanks!!
Hello all, I was hoping someone may have run into this and might could give me some feedback.
I have my phone rooted, and use Handcent for texting. I have no problems sending pictures......and up until recently, I've had no problems receiving pictures either. At first I thought it was just going to be iPhone users, but have since experienced the problem getting pics from various phones and carriers.
iPhone4 - Verizon
iPhone3 - AT&T
Samsung Eternity - AT&T
There are a few others as well. I have disabled the original messaging app, and only use Handcent. I've had no problems until the past couple of weeks. I am wondering if maybe it isn't an update issue from Handcent......I know it has manually updated a couple of times in the past few weeks.
Anyone have any suggestions?
What do you mean when you say you disabled the original app?
What ROM/kernel are you using?

Firmware 2.1update1
Kernel 2.6.29
I rooted simply to remove bloatware, I haven't changed to any of the different ROM's or anything.
I deleted MMS.apk. I wanted to try to reinstall it, to see if maybe one of the Handcent updates caused the problem somehow, after I deleted the MMS app......but I can't get it to install. I downloaded the MMS.apk on my desktop, and open it through MyFiles. I've done a few apps this way, no problem.
MMS.apk you have to push to /system/app
You cant install it like you would a normal apk.

You can install it with ESFile Explorer if you are rooted. You can find it on the market for free. You'll then need to find a mms.apk place it on your sdcard.. then using ESFile copy the apk and place it in system/apps/
Another option would be to download GeekSMS.. it runs on its on without the mms.apk. I've tried it and it worked fine for me.

You're not supposed to try and install it. You move it into the /system/app and then it should show up in your app drawer.

Except that it isn't, because you have to disable the currently installed Swype in order to install the new one. You can't do that without deleting it, which in turn requires that you be rooted.

Oh, just for anyone else doing this you also need to delete libSwypeCore.so from /system.lib
I used root explorer to do this. Swype forceclosed on me when I did a reboot but had not deleted the libswypecore so I'm hoping this was the problem.
