Thread: New App: Build-A-Hybrid

Been working on this for a few hours

http://www.theiexplorers.com/bb/Build-A-Hybrid.rar
http://www.theiexplorers.com/bb/Build-A-Hybrid.exe (EXE Only)

Look for a How-To at Professor BM's Blackberry Tips and Tricks
Its exactly as it says.
Build your own hybrid!
Extract the .rar anywhere you'd like.
Run Build-A-Hybrid.exe.
Browse for your main OS Install folder, not the Java or CDMA.
Then:
Choose the version of each item under each title.
Once all are chosen, click Build My Hybrid! All of the original files will be moved to "OrigBackup" (in your Java folder) before the new files are downloaded from my web server to that same Java folder.
(If you think its frozen, just wait it out. Chances are its downloading the files. Wait for the message box!)
Once its done downloading, you will get a message box stating so.
Run Loader.exe to update your phone, and enjoy your new mix of files

Please don't nuke your berry in the process of using this tool. If you don't know what you are doing, PLEASE ask!

My current and recommended set-up: (Likely to change as I come across things)
App Mgr, Browser, Process Launcher - 5.0
Phone, Keyboard, Bluetooth, Camera, Video, Plazmic, Stock Theme - 148
Radio - .148
Lock - 148
+ .148 Quick Launch Fix

Change Log:
V3.8 - Added .148 + .148 Quick Launch Fix
V3.7 - Changed Fix buttons to checkboxes for easier usage/inclusion in the hybrid making process, now shows you're added languages/fixes with the Build Breakdown, added recommended 9500 settings, enlongated Browse box for more visibility
V3.6 - Redesigned to the Drop Down menu method, added new options (Fonts, Voice, Media, BIS), and Build Breakdown before you build it
V3.5 - fixed progress bar, added status bar for more updates on what the app is doing, minor fixes
V3.4 - Added GPS option, and option to add language/keyboard support for Arabic, Hebrew, Russian to any OS version
V3.3 - Added "Add All 5.0 Files" button, as well as COD Breakdown button
V3.2 - Will not freeze while downloading the files now, so you are able to use the other buttons if you need to, 141 radio
V3.1 - Added Lock Function choices and 141 options
V3.0 - Updated to work with 9500 users, also added settings for V4 and myself

I AM LOOKING FOR MORE SUGGESTIONS!

Heres what the GUI looks like:

Nice work lyricidal, this will definitely keep the addicts busy.

wow. very cool lyricidal! just what i need, more stuff to play with :1244: lol

you are da man !!!!:beerchug::beerchug::beerchug:

Sweet gotta give this a try! Nice work lyricidal!!

pretty sweet idea. will check it out at some point!

Good job man, thanks for all your hard work. :147:

Thanks Lyricidal! This will be awesome for us addicts. The ability to get what works best for everyone's individual needs in one simple program is outstanding!!

ok maybe im a moron but i did what it said to do only took about 5 seconds to say my hybrid had been built launched loader.exe....but ummm there was no os there....searched my comp checked the shared folder there was no hybrid in any of my folders suggestions?

Added support for different keyboard versions, Phone Files, App Console, Process Launcher, Stock Theme
Radio file part is still broken for the time being, working on it right now
V 1.0 is up

jnepsa, what steps did you take?
download it, extract it or drag/drop to your Current Java folder
run it, choose a radio button under each category (Radio File isn't working yet) and click Build
then launch Loader.exe

hey could you check out and see what you think i am doing wrong?? im sitting with my blackberry brick right now lol tryin to see what i have done wrong


i picked the files i wanted clicked build my hybrid got the message box said its been built but where does it go after it done that? i didnt see nething new on desktop or any of my other files

lol hold on i am a huge tard i forgot to do step one of the instructions OMFG

Did you choose one button under each category?
Did you run it from your Java folder? Did you get a message box after you clicked Build My Hybrid that said it was done?

:damnit1: 10char

lol i forgot to extract to java...do i need to have the os installed that i want the radio code from?

and hey dude i got a question slash favor to ask of you if your up to it? and i would greatly apprciate it

lyricidal

I posted this over in CB but I will post again just so everyone knows YOU ARE THE MAN! Used Shrink when installing .122 over .113 and what a difference. I did delete the default font ran for about a week, then had to put the font back on there LOL. The one thing I did not notice was when I put the default font back on I lost the bigger keys (do to the font the phone was using), but oh well now I can read again. Keep up the great work and can't to try your Build a hybrid.

the radio code question: its broken in that app, for the time being I recommend use Swap-A-Radio to change your radio til I fix it

I could give it a shot, what do ya need?

bmtenney: thanks a lot Glad my tools are useful to you. Hope you like this one too!

ok two things quick the radio thing...if i have .113 installed which is the radio i like can i just put build a hybrid and the java and go from there?

Thing if you got time lol- and this is no rush or nething most of the .cod files are pretty self explanitory but there are some that make me go :261: could you put together a list with a quick explination of the .cod? either all or the ones you know r like :261: ?

ohh yea and you are a bb legend lol

radio file will not be affected by this app just yet (til I fix it) so yeah, you can just leave your .113 radio as is, and build just the Java

as for the .cod list
I've been thinking about this and have had a few people ask so maybe its something I can start on

and thanks lol, now if only I could get on the RIM team and start leaking

LMAO how true..yea i actually have made two different hybrids by guessing on the ones that made me scratch my head first not bad lots of clock though...second one..well lets just say not so much :newbie:


edit hey just tried it the right way and this is what i got

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
