Super APP Updater + Theme + Root + Baseband + APPS v1.03 [Updated + Download Link]

Hi guys, you've probably wondering what is this SuperAppUpdater imposting here,
Well, if your anything like me, you are probably testing new roms as they come out, just for the fun of it, but then, some of you might have the need of installing apps manually in your system/app partition.
Personally, I like the newly released European roms better than the custom ones, thats just my taste.
To clarify, this only works on Official European Roms 2.2.1, I've tested on the German rom, the UK rom, and the one from Spain, I've tested it on LATAM roms but for some reason it doesn't work, it applies everything but you wont get any signal, don't know if it works on Telus.
So, you might find those roms aren't rooted, and they also come without a theme, no titanium backup, no rootexplorer, no theme, they are as vanilla as they can get, so, I've made myself an app updater to copy all the apps I commonly use all the time after trying a new rom or even after formating my rom.
What does this do?
This will install the followin stuffs in your system partition:
ADW Launcher
Titanium BackUp (Free Version, not donate)
ES File Explorer (Instead of Root Explorer, but it still supports root, so if you know a better FREE alternative, let me know)
Stock Battery Manager (Got it from Argentina's Personal stock Rom, it will work on any stock motorola Rom)
Chrome to Phone
Contacts (GB Theme)
Phone (GB Theme)
Latest Facebook
Latest Gmail
Black Gtalk
Latest Google Quick Search Box
Latest Maps (My Tracks, StreetView +World Navigation)
Latest Twitter
Latest Market
Latest Voice Search
GB Theme + Framework (Extra options for power button) - Got them from some updater silesh made
It roots your phone
Market Access
850 / 1900 Baseband ( If you dont use this baseband, re apply your baseband after finish)
This is one of my first efforts, If you can help me make it better, by all means, give me your suggestions!

Good aport!

Only one suggestion. Remove root explorer as it is a paid app.
Also for maps, you should include the modded version which allows navigation all over the world, not just US. Check the xda portal for the link to that thread.

So, I've removed the download link cause my previous post included paid apps, I'm uploading a new version with free apps only, hope you like it.

Also just to point out that the reboot mod will not work on all roms. It works only with official 2.2.1 .

Yeah man I knew that, I did this only for the official roms, not the custom ones, It might work on customs but I have not tried on those roms.
If someone does try them on customs, let me know it and I'll post in which one of those works.

Nah, just did it in the description, I think it works with some customs too, just haven't tried it, I'll do it if someone reports it doesn't work in customs.

ES File Explore is great, but it's root feature doesn't work on stock roms does it?
Pretty sure Super Manager is more universal in this regard and still free - plus it has a crap load of cool stuffings included. (scrren capture, wave in front of the sensor to turn the screen on, etc...)

[Q] Task killers?

hi,
sorry if i have reposted this i have looked around but not found an EXACT answer.
my question is,
i have installed ATK and set an "ignore list" to all the apps which i want to keep running (eg. Calender) and all widgets.
i have turned AutoKill and AutoStart off
and i am not using the widget (kill via opening app in drawer)
will this speed up my phone atall or am i better off whithout it?
is there any better settings you can reccomend?
Thanks alot

Are you on Stock Rom ?

I would not recommend using a task killer because Android is a multi-tasking OS and closing certain tasks can cause instabilities.
The only time they are useful is if you want to force close an application due to it not responding, which you can do by going into settings.
Using a task killer will most probably not speed up the wildfire nor will it save much battery.
If you find the Wildfire slow, OC it by rooting and flashing a custom kernel.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App

On stock ROM I sometimes found it useful to use when there was not enough memory available (< 95 MB) and the phone started running slower. On CM7 I constantly have about 180 MB left so no need for the taskkiller, the phone runs smooth enough without it

Thank you all!
Firstly i am on stock rom, and there are just a few apps which i would jsut like to keep closed, such as Gmail (i use the HTC mail instead) or peep, talk and Maps. but if it isnt reccomended i will change.
i want to keep sense, i have used LauncherPro but find Sense UI far better.
how would i go about overclocking? i have read a tutorial about rooting but doesnt look easy for a first time android user,
Android 2.2.1
HBOOT 1.01.0002
Sense 2.0 (i think)
Vodafone UK
12 month contract
S-ON
Not Rooted
Stock ROM
Stock Kernal
let me know if there is anything else you need to know

If your rooted then get titanian backup and freeze apps you dont want to be running at all it stops them without uninstalling and without the need to keep killing it. So i advise you to root.
If you want to overclock then you need root and custom recovery to flash an overclockable kernel such as jacobs. Or a rom with an overclockable kernel 'built in'
Rooting is fairly easy really so long as you have researched and are careful good luck.

Click on this link for the full guide to root your HTC Wildfire:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035
After you follow the instructions in that thread and are successfully rooted, seeing as you like the Sense UI; I recommend you use JokerDroid as your ROM as it uses Sense. You can download it at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999899
Once you have downloaded it, either use ROM Manager or Recovery to flash it and you'll be up and running with Sense.
Next, I think that JokerDroid is already overclocked; but if it isn't, go to the following link where you can download SetCPU which will enable you to overclock ( to 768MHz ):

Root your phone, install antek app manager. Freeze applications that you don't want. stocks, footprints etc..

[Q] How can I install Themes on my Android phone?

Hello,
I am running Android 2.2.1 with sense 2.0 on HTC HDs. So I want to have some of those cool themes like this one ==> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761517.. or this one ==> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134657..
I've downloaded may ".zip" files and tried to flash them through CWM but no luck, I got the message below:
" Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbeard based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create woking updatw zip packages. Installation abort".
Then I tried another themes with ".mtz" but I didn't know how to install them. It needs an app called "Theme Manager".. I installed that Theme Manager app but its not working, I couldn't even found the app icon on my phone!..
All what I want is to have a beautiful themes for my phone!.. :/
Why is it so difficult to get it work? & how to?
Thank you..

I'm not sure, but I think your ROM has to be Cyanogenmod or MIUI based to be able to flash new themes, at least, non - sense themes (seeing as you are running a sense ROM)
Also try moving theme manager to internal storage.

The .mtz files are themes for MIUI. You need a MIUI ROM to install those themes.
I haven't used Sense in a while but can't you download themes (Dock bars etc.) through the HTC hub?

Oh no!.. This is really what I was afraid to hear! Because I've bad times with other ROMs. Actually I've flashed many ROMs before but it couldn't last more than 2 days with me .. There was no logical reason but all the ROMs that I've flashed make the phone freeze & sometimes rebooted unexpectedly when I made a call or receive one. So I went back for the original one..

HTC hub themes sucks!

I've had problems with non-sense Android as well.
While MIUI themes don't work on sense. you can search for sense-based themes. Some can be flashed using CWM, and if that doesn't work, you can copy the files to their proper place manually using root explorer or any similar app, but you have to be 100% sure that the theme you're using is fully compatible with your ROM/build.

You can also try using a third party launcher that is themable like launcher pro or go launcher. You can use gosms to get a themable message app...

Sense builds are not launcher friendly
my phone performance dropped considerably when I installed ADW, Go launcher, and launcher pro. Never bothered to try any more.

well i don't know, i never used sense builds cause they are much slower.
im on miui from langthang at the moment and it's just great. i don't like the launcher and installed another.
i don't really understand why the op couldn't get other roms to run fluid. if you want to customize a lot you should try a clean install with a miui build.

Just a theory but could you use titanium backup to freeze HTC sense after setting 3rd party launcher as default? That may speed it up.

in theory yes, but if something wrong happens with the new launcher you will not be able to revert to what you had earlier.
I tried that a long time ago, and when I reset my device it got past the boot animation into a black screen, and nowhere further. but that was on one of the few first Sense builds. not sure if it will work on the newer ones. I don't have the courage to try that again

I see. You're a chicken.
Just kidding, so freezing HTC sense caused the build to stop booting? So... probably not the best idea then.

haha, well kind of XD
I like stable sets, so when I find any stable thing I stick with it. I don't have much time to try different settings.
as I said, this problem happened to me using the very first few sense builds, things may be different now.
if you're using an SD build, you can backup your data and system images and try that out. let me know if it works in newer builds

here's an update on the issue:
If you want sense without sense launcher here's a nice build for that:

and a tweaked themed build:

Only issues that I know:
Device Encryption does not work and blocks the phone (you have to come back to original stock rom to be usable, the phone cannot boot)
Touchdown app does not sync calendar (but email works so I'm fine with it)
But battery life is awesome compared to stock one, is very fast and I you like TW like I do is great cause you will get TW experience with better battery and faster

Yes, device encryption is unfortunate...
I'd not turn it down if it worked... I decided to wait until ICS, and then see if the inbuilt stuff there works. If not, I'll have to figure it out.
But at the end of the day, I wouldn't release the rom like that, for one reason. Encryption is only good if you are using a secure rom. While VR is in many respects more secure than most ROMs due to using non public platform keys, it still permits root access.
Since exchange encryption is usually enforced by your IT admin, I don't think people should be using this ROM for work purposes to connect in, given it is rooted...
With root, you can just dump the data off the running system

After root app

I just rooted my phone. And i just need to know what apps should i install after i root my phone.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

If you don't know what to do after a root why did you do it?
Most people get rid of bloatware or try different roms like cyanogenmod, miui or roms with sense 3.
I need root for running a samba server (windows file share) so it's more easy to get photos from and mp3s to the phone. Apart from that i only wanted to get rid of bloatware so my phone would drain the battery more slowly.

I rooted my phone just to oc it. But then i heard if rooted phone can get free apps. Is it true??
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Besides oc, there are many other changes, such as boot animation, splash screen, recovery, backup and particularly cooked ROM. CM7, MIUI, ARHD and etc does improve the phone stability, reception, and make your phone versatile. I read one quote in this forum that these ROM makes your US$400 phone becoming US$600 performance.
The best way to make use of a rooted phone is to read and search within threads. Make your choices and ask when you meet problem.

free apps on the market are still free
and installing illegal downloaded apps that cost money on the market....that is possible without rooting.
There are very few apps that need root and normally you will never need them.
With a few exceptions: the app "AdFree" removes almost every in-app ad....and you can use "setCPU" to over- or underclock your phone.
If you really need it (like me) then have a look at cifsmanager....you can mount network shares with that so you can stream videos from every share/computer without having to download them to your phone first. I like it but it's not for everybody...

Just search the forum. You'll figure out more than anyone can tell you in a few posts. After flashing a ROM there are a whole lot of mods that you can flash to customize it to your liking. The main purpose of rooting is to have complete control over your phone. What you do after that depends on you. Look around.

Think about Titanium Backup. You could Backup your Apps and settings, if you want to change your ROM later.

As for what app to use post ROOT, I'd say either Mybackup or Titanium backup to start clearing bloatware as well as backing up your apps with its data ready for restore on a new ROM.. ^_~
Terminal emulator is useful too! ^_^
