25/Sep r2 - Twaked app directory (de-orangified) for San Francisco

[Guest Sebastian404]

With all debts to Paul, here is my version of the de-orangified app directory.

I removed all the Orange apps, keeping the regular apps that came with the phone, and and then added the following files from Pauls release:

AdobeReader.apk

CarDock.apk

DeskClock.apk

Email.apk

GenieWidget.apk

SpareParts.apk

Talk.apk

VoiceSearch.apk

Install procedure

Make sure your have your phone rooted (root solution)

adb reboot

adb pull /system/app app.old

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system

rm -r /system/app

mkdir /system/app

exit

exit

adb push blade.app.r2 /system/app

adb reboot[/codebox]

New app directory (zipped) - http://hotfile.com/dl/71692163/713193d/blade.app.r2.zip.html

This process is potentially VERY dangerous! It is highly recommended you wait for a safer method UNLESS you are willing to brick your phone.

I have found that Paul's adobe reader is corrupted, so you may want to install the updated one from the market!

I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to Android, I'm an iPhone Fanboy and could Jailbreak away to my hearts content.. But I need help here.

I've rooted the phone sucessfully, now what?

What's this 'code' being typed in to for a start?

*Don't flame* :lol:

[Guest Frankish]

Those commands or "code" are what you type in a CMD window from your Android SDK tools folder.

Download the Android SDK. Plug phone to pc via usb. Open a command prompt. Browse to sdk tools folder. Start typing adb commands.

adb reboot - restarts your phone.

adb pull - will copy a specified file from your device to your pc.

adb push - sends a specified file to your phone.

adb blahblahblah...

List goes on. Just download Android SDK and read up on adb to get more understanding.

You're a star, thanks!

I've extracted the rar, where do I place the contents before I run the commands?

Also I just tried to run the reset command and it said 'device not found'

When I plug in USB it gives me option on the phone to 'mount' or not. What should I do?

Also, windows 7 isn't picking up drivers for it and I tried the manual ones. :lol:

[Guest Frankish]

Place the contents anywhere you just need to make sure you browse to your SDK tools folder in cmd.

cd c:\androidsdk\tools or something similar. :lol:

Can't help with the drivers as i haven't bought the phone yet but that's probably why you're getting device not found.

Thanks you've been a good help.

I'll give up for now as I tried this method and r1 method and I'm left needing drivers as they always fail to install, even the manual ones I tried downloading from another thread. B)

I'm not really going to be much help there I'm using a mac.

I do know a few guys who do android development for a living and they where telling me about how they use a linux box in a VMWARE environment..

You need to turn USB debugging on, got into Settings, down to Applications, then Development and then tick 'USB Debugging'. Ignore the mount popup
