Phone.apk

[kalagas]

Hi to all of you..
I was looking a phone.apk that has the future of "vibrate on outgoing call when answered"...
So i found this one, but i tried it on my Milestone with GOT 2.36 rooted and it didn't work. I get force close...
So my question is that:
Is there any chance to have a similar phone.apk (with the same or similar futures) for our Milestone, as the link i posted on top???
I think the developers in this forum have the knowlegde to make it happen to our Milestone. It would be great...

I've tried that Phone v.29 on Milestone build 2.36 and it works.

The trick is to keep the last modified timestamp of the apk to be the same as the entry in /data/system/packages.xml.

Generally, there are 2 approaches:

1. Recovery based, to use the preset timestamp 2008-Aug-01 when writing files.

So recover the original apk, reboot(allow packages.xml to be updated), then recover the new apk and their timestamp will match that of packages.xml.

2. Root based, remount the system partition and overwrite the phone.apk with the expected timestamp in packages.xml.

touch the new apk to the desired timestamp, adb push to the phone since it will preserve the timestamp. Either push directly to system or to tmp then busybox cp -pf to preserve the source file timestamp on destination file.

Thanks but you confused me....
Here is what i did...:
I downloaded the new phone.apk and i used the OpenRecovery (through GOT theme option) to replace the old phone.apk and it didn't work...
So can you describe more the timestamp issue and what exactly to do?
Thanks again...

speaking of the phone app, does anyone know how to fix getting vibrations from texts when you are on a call? its really annoying when you are talking to someone and it vibrates in your ear and they hear it too

wrong..

trick is to keep same signature, where possible, so taking aps from previous moto updates, works until they decide to change signature..

like with google apps, you can update as long as they are not deodex'd (which i tried by mistake).

so if you wish to use the phone.apk, you can apply this to my mod's, as long as they use a test-key sig..
otherwise it fails.

so how can i use this phone.apk if im using motofrenzy?
