[Q] Droid 3 launcher on Atrix? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there anyway to get the Droid 3 launcher working on the atrix? I have the apk from the system dump but when I go to install it, the installation fails :\
I attached the apk.

Place it /system/app via root explorer. Then set the permissions to rw-r--r--.
Let us know how it goes!

it still doesn't install.

I saw that, but all you guys were talking about was if it was the same or not.

You're not supposed to install. You place it in there, and reboot. If you're able to get into your new launcher, it worked. If you didn't, well that's it :/

well if you saw it you should have continued not to be rude but its better to continue on a thread similar to urs rather than making one and i actually said i was trying to port it over so your inaccurate if you believe it was just comparisons.

oh ok. No biggie.

Text input theming?

Okay so I've re-themed the phone and it really does look great, however, I'm a 'texter' and I can't find anything to change my input screen, handcent done a pretty good job for everything else message related but not the input screen. Also is it possible to disable the default messaging notifications?

Sorry buddy I have recently discovered that I can't see files on the xda app, how did you do it? Did you have to edit the message apk or was it in the framework?
Error when trying to install "Default input could not be installed on this phone."
Do I install this or mount the file?

I've deinstalled the default one (with titanium backup)and then installed this,but i think the best way is to use adb and replace the original.

Anychance of sharing the codes for doing this? I'm new to adb and not confident enough to go about it myself!
The easyest way is to use titanium backup(there is a free app on the market) to deinstall the original and then install this.
P.S. make a reboot after unistall

go to SETTINGS/APPLICATIONS/make sure the filter is set to ALL and scroll down to MARKET... click it and hit UNINSTALL UPDATES . this method worked when i received the the SIMILAR tab update,but im not sure if itll completely remove the NEW revamped market.

Actually can't because to the Nero system it thinks the new market is the only market so I didn't update it. Do I can't uninstall updates.
Nero beta 3 + oclf
You can uninstall updates of "market" app, but itll update it self again automatically with next start. Hopeless.. I guess google devs never thought that android users will prefer old look of their app.
Which version is considered old?
So which version is considered old and how can you find out what version someone is currently running?
On the link(s) provided earlier, there are several apk files that are simply labeled Vending.apk, so which one should you choose?

Not receiving picture texts.....

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.

copy it to you sdcard

Click it once you paste it there, install.

Ok, I have it on my SD....and long press -----> copy, but can't figure out how to paste it into RE.
Sorry for being such a noob.
Ok, figured out how to paste in RootExplorer.
Now that I did that, I ran MMS after pasting......it still won't install. It boots like its going to install the app, then I get a message saying it didn't install. I got the same thing when I just copied the APK into MyFiles and tried installing it.
What am I missing?
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.

I've installed it by putting the apk into system/app changing the permissions, rebooting, and then installing with root browser from system/app. The thing is that it says that there's some kind of network issue, but I read somewhere that its because Samsung blocked its servers. And they say that there's a lot of stuff it can do that vlingo can't plus it talks back like siri

The network error issue is because it looks for I9300 string, which is specific to Galaxy S3 (they are not making it easy for everyone)
Here is the link to the modified apk which already modify within the apk to pass the I9300 back to vlingo network: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664785
download the "Modified APK" to your SD card then uninstall the previous version before install the new one.
Just install like any other normal apk. Hope this work for you
Be sure to let us know if it works!
i tried it once...after reading a lot...i downloaded the signed apk file and changed permission and then try changing your build.prop
change the product and device to GT-I9300
thats capital i at GT-I9300
then u must be on ics rom

old HTC stock Flashlight app

Just chiming in to report that this Rezound port of HTC's simple-but-great flashlight app [mostly] works on the Inc4g:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408341
The power button target is a bit off, though. You have to press a bit below and slightly to the right of the on-screen button.
I searched for other versions of this app, but this is the only one I could find so far. If someone else has a link to the original Incredible version or something else that works better, I'd like to see it. (too bad HTC doesn't include this anymore)

it's a zip file though, didn't know we could install root explorer. thought you needed root, i have it backed up.
You can install and use Root Explorer. It won't give you access to /system though. But installing apk's is fine. You can install apk's from any file browser as long as Unknown Sources is checked in your options.
