Root Vanilla Froyo Coming Tonight!

[SimsDelt]

Weird... I can download it easily with my comp.

I would think you just need to install the VM apk. Here'sa 2.2 Vvm.apk give it a try Vvm.apk download free - FileSwap.com



Follow the direction posted in the forum.
You basically
copy the apk to /system/app (use root explorer make r/w)
install apk from there.
Set permissions
reboot

If you need more detail (I wouldn't blame you if you did )
There is a thread on how to reinstall system apps somewhere.

That did the trick! A little simpler than I was thinking...thanks very much for the assistance. I'm an ex iphone user (and proud megageek) so it really feels good to be back on a platform that is more suitable for me.

Yet... still no answer from anyone... anyone know how to remove 1 of the 2 music icons I have in my app drawer?

Titanium backup. In paid version you can freeze any app, in free version yoy can back up and uninstall any app.

go into rootexplorer in the app folder and rename the music.apk to .bak and your all set. BTW underneath music.apk you will see google.music.apk, google music does not have the music player on the lockscreen

Trick I found... makes everything so much faster... Go to "Spare Parts" in your App drawer... then under "Window Animations" set it to fast, under "Transition animations" set to fast and toggle "Fancy input animations"... makes this thing seem so much faster.

thanks alot for this

Droider... another question about sounds with this rom... where can I cut off the dang notification sound when I plug in my usb cable to my computer... it plays that dang drum solo again. Not when the card is mounted anymore, just when I plug it in, doesn't matter what mode its in (ex. PC, Charge Only, ect.).

the only other thing I could think of is turning down the media volume, I don't see anything specifically for that

To get your calendar syncing again, download the BlurCalendarProvider.apk attached to this post, and place it in /system/app/ via whatever method.

in terminal emulator:

su
chmod 644 /system/app/BlurCalendarProvider.apk
reboot

and you're all set.

So I did this and still got nothing. I can't make a new event in my calendar. It just gets stuck thinking. Any ideas?

did you install it then do the adb commands

 

[kastleberg]

yeah. It now says I have no calendar when I try and set up an event and goes back to the month view.

well then...

 

[kastleberg]

Yeah... I got nothin. I even tried deleting and reinstalling it. I mean, I deleted ADW. That shouldn't have anything to do with it, should it? I even renamed Launcher2.apk. Maybe that's it.

Glad it worked out. I was just guessing

Just don't try to restore a large number of apps unless you have the paid version.

I thought you figured out multi-quote

in terminal emulator:

and you're all set.

First error is directory is read only (set to read/write try again)
Second error says there is no such file or directory.

Double checked my syntax and spelling it sure looks like what you typed and matches the file name and directory path and Yes I have the apk in /system/app

How come this can't just be installed?

The problem is I haven't figured out how to tell I'm going to answer more than one post in a thread in advance yet.

if you haven't already, try going to your settings, then manage applications, and delete the data and cache for the calendar. this is generally the first thing you should try if you're having weird behavior with an app (but it doesn't always fix it).

Mine just sticks at the "Loading Calendars" screen when I try to add a new event. Frustrating.

More Info: When trying to add a new event. After adding what it is and time and where... there is the "Calendar" drop down, nothing is in there, its like I don't have a selectable calendar... weird.

You need to mount the system/app folder as RW first, then copy the file there, then change the permissions.

So... first, download the BlurCalendarProvider.apk

Place it on the root of your SD card, then follow these steps:

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtd/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/BlurCalendarProvider.apk /system/app
chmod 644 /system/app/BlurCalendarProvider.apk
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/mtd/mtdblock3 /system
reboot

Should be fine afterward.

this is what im going through as well. Only, when I threw blurcalendar in the mix as well, it says no calendar to choose from when adding an event and reverts back to the month. I delete blurcalendar and it goes back to what sins is describing.

its in the clock app, I thought the same thing to but then I was like...oh yeah

 

[SimsDelt]

This is what I'm getting when I try to add something new to my calendar.

 

[SimsDelt]

Still like that even after I ran the fix above.

 

[SimsDelt]

Got it to Sync by doing it manually in "My Accounts"...
