No Settings after root
So I installed the minimal root so that I could easily install the Morkl packages (I'm on a mac, therefore cannot run .exe installers), but I have no SYSTEM SETTINGS option on the sony homescreen to modify any of the root options. Where do I find this?
I know the root has been successful because when I launch a book, it asks me what reader I would like to use. Otherwise, I can't tell any differences. Also, how do I modify the XML file to change the default buttons on the sony homescreen? I cannot find the file while browsing the Reader from my Mac. Is there a utility that I need? Can it be done on the reader itself? I want to put dropbox on there, remove the reader store, etc. I have dropbox installed, but currently have no way to launch it. I removed the ADW launcher before performing the root, because I'm just not interested in having something different than the stock (albeit modified) launcher. Help please; and thank you for helping out a newbie! |

The default Sony home screen app has no option to change what it can launch and the system settings aren't in Sony's app - only the Sony settings. You need to use ADW or Morkl's home screen app if you want to launch something different. Quote:
There are text editors available for Android - you could edit it on the device itself with one of these, but I'd think it'd be much easier to edit the XML file while it's connected to your Mac. Quote:
If you want a useable rooted device, you really should leave ADW (or install Morkl's home app first). You don't have to delete ADW - you can tick the checkbox that says "Use by default for this action" when you press the home button, then choose Morkl's home screen app. Cheers, Simon. |
