Guest kingqueen Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Baking a Custom ROM with Working QuickOffice, Amazon MP3 and WiFi Status Indicator Straightforward method - no need for any shell access etc. - just use a web browser... Download Quick Office Fix (mediafire, 2Mb) (also attached to this post)Bake a Custom ROM without QuickOffice, Amazon MP3 or Wifi Status Indicator - but with the Quick Office Fix you downloaded as a "custom ingredient"Flash it as normal - QuickOffice etc. now works. All we are doing here is installing the three applications (QuickOffice, Amazon MP3 and Wifi Status Indicator) to the System partition, as opposed to the Data partition. The ROM baker by default puts the apps in the Data directory, where they don't work; the custom Zip above puts the apps in the System directory, where they do.

Guest kingqueen Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 What can I do to fix this as I can't get back to ROM manager to re-flash? I'm not Paul but what you need to do is to Fake Flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingqueen Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Can't find Google Earth on the market I had the same problem. The solution: download Google Earth for Android from MediaFire. (5Mb) You'll need to set your Desire to allow untrusted apps and have some means of installing .apks (APK installer or Astro from the Market) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Time Sheep Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 yes Cool, but I did a nandroid backup and tried anyway. It doesn't really work. I baked one with a little bit of this and that, half of the system is forceclosing on boot :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest plopingo Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I have a few question with the online online kitchen SIM Toolkit : what's that ? Google don"t find anything about that Sense/Rosie application. "When removed, it is replaced by the standard Launcher." Ok but What are the application contained in rosie app package ? Sens is a synonym for sens luncher ? Stocks : "This option includes the Stocks application and associated Widget." stocks app include in htc sens ? Jbed Java : what's that ?

Guest Wovchik Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) Hi Every one, (sorry for my bad english) :lol: At First nice Work this Custom Rom is very Stable. i Have some questions: 1. After i rooted and flashed this rom i noticed that when i try to install any apps from the market it takes some minutes until the download begins. any one know what is the reason? 2. where is the diference between app2sd and app2sd+? I couldn´t find any information about difference. 3.Is it right that some apps are still on the internal Memory? Apps like Google Earth althoug i have an 1 GB ext3 so it is enough place. Or is it not working beacuse i Installed it over an APK from the SDcard because i couldn´t find some apps on the market. @Plopingo JIT is Just in Time compiler which increase the speed of executing apps but i read that the apps must suport this feature (it will be implemented with 2.2 better say it is) Jbed JAVA is the JAVA virtual mashine for the normal JAVA, it is different from the Dalvic Java wich is used on Android. (that ist what i found in the internet maybe some one knows better) Edited June 27, 2010 by Wovchik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ahri Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Sense / Rosie installed to /system partition * This option includes the Sense / Rosie application. When removed, it is replaced by the standard Launcher. Having tried r3.1 without Sense, I can attest that the above statement is false; I got a ROM with no launcher at all :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even realise that Maps was missing until some one was sharing their location with me. Why have those options in the kitchen and they aren't applied?

As all the worst tech support people say, "It works fine on my device" :D Google Maps has been in all the ROMs I've baked, including one yesterday, and worked fine - other than the fact it's an out of date version which the Market then updated for me without a problem. And the one time I've left the Stocks application in the bake, it appeared... I wonder if the Maps issue is operator or country specific? My generic Desire on O2 in the UK has Google Maps without an issue btw just in case it's not immeditely apparent, I'm not anything to do with development or support for this most excellent of creations of Paul's, just a happy user (with the exception of the odd minor issue) :lol: doug Edited June 27, 2010 by kingqueen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also try to leave Stocks installed. My handset was originally from Taiwan and was bought from ebay. (I had no idea it was from Taiwan) but I doubt it's the region thing unless you mean from the time you land on the site and click download. Google Maps WAS on my device, but it just wasn't there when I checked recently. I am wondering if it has anything to do with the A2SD+ feature... I just need to get OpenVPN working on my handset and still try to fix the QuickOffice without losing my settings, etc. *Ah, I see where the missing apps are, there are in the /data/app folder rather than the /system/app folder... so maybe the quickoffice fix theory mentioned earlier could help with this...* **Well, Maps is installed, but I can't update. I think that might be a region thing or my market needs updating. Quick Office and some wifi status .apk doesn't install though I didn't even realise my tethering was missing, that installed fine.** Edited June 27, 2010 by KingDan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest frankkubiak Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Hi Paul, due to Google's power through the GTalkService ( http://jon.oberheide.org/blog/2010/06/25/r...google-android/ ) it might be interesting to have a ROM without the GTalkService. Can you add an option to the kitchen to decide for or against GTalk? Whcih applications are dependent on the GTalkService? Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same Stocks is for shares etc. comes with a phone running Sense, but you won't get it by choosing sense here. Jbed Jaba. Hmm, I think it's some sort of runtime environment. JIT is some sort of tables. The short story is that it speeds up the phones, but right now there is a little chance of a crash. Not noticably big though.

Guest Time Sheep Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Yeah, Froyo is still WIP and is missing a few things for the Desire. Since today it had no camcorder and it still doesn't have Sense UI, Model number says Nexus One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
