[Official] R2-D2 [D2] Owners Thread

I need an "apk" file for my R2 that I accidentally deleted.
Does anyone have or know where I can get the music.apk file from?
See if this works - Music.Apk file
Let me know if it does.

I found it ! ! ! !
OK - Everyone who is having an issue with the Darth Vader picture disappearing and can't find it, I did!
After extensive searching, moving apk files to the PC and opening them, I discovered the picture buried in the Photowidget.apk file. It is called predefined.jpg.
Attached is the picture and the apk (in zip form). I'm not sure if just reinstalling this will fix the issue - don't want to mess my widget up to find out it doesn't work. But if someone out there who has "lost" their Vader picture wants to try it, let me know if it works!
Hope this helps at least one person.
Sent from my PC - yuck!

I dropped the file in the system/app directory and rebooted nothing. Then I tried to run the apk file and all I get is "application not installed" am I missing something here? Thx

The link in my sig explains how to install a custom ROM and restore all the Star Wars theming (except for the Vader widget). You can have the best of both worlds.

Unzip this file and then drop the odex file in the same directory as well... I forgot to post it - sorry.

Nice work jjq. I'm linking your two posts in my guide. When someone confirms that this works, I'll integrate it into the guide. Do you mind if I mirror those files when I do?
Thanks - nope, don't mind one bit! I'm really curious to know if it will work or not. Also, I'm not sure if this file is needed as well (or if it is created when installed), but here is the odex file as well.

Yeah, if there's an odex file, then you either need to deodex the apk or have the odex file. I'm not too familiar with the process, so I'm not sure if you can just copy over the odex file or not. I'll PM mingaldrichgan and see if he's interested in deodexing it.
I'd like to share my story really quickly about how I obtained my R2-D2 D2 . My girlfriend and I both had the D1. She dropped hers in a bathtub full of water. We contacted Asurion, and they issued us a refurb D1 for $89.00. The phone worked for 3 days and then the display quit working. So I call up Asurion again, and explain the situation. They tried to get me to remove the battery, and hold down the power button for 15 seconds to discharge any static in the phone. I did, and it didn't fix it. She then proceeded to say "The Motorola Droid 1 is no longer being made, so we only have refurbished ones. I would like to offer you a new phone. You can choose between the Star Wars Droid 2, or the HTC Aries." Hmm.... hard choice. Lol. Turns out my girlfriend hates the phone just because she's not nearly as nerdy as I am, so I gave her my D1 and kept the D2. Got it today, and already rooted it. Now I'm going to look through this thread and see if there is anything interesting.

I'm disinclined to mess around with stuff unless I really need to...
But thank you for the tip.
As for the Vader pic... good to know it's been found, hope someone can figure out a way to get it back in the widget.

I already had a Music.odex file in there but I replaced it with this one and I am still getting the same "application not installed" error.
What else could be causing it not to install?

Hey all, I was an early adopter of the OG Droid and I loved it. Still kind of miss it right now but due to me dropping it accident, and a few crappy asurion refurbished replacements later, I am now the proud owner of a Star Wars version of the D2. I gotta say, I have kind of a love hate relationship with R2D2 case on it but whatever, I think it will grow on me. And I'm kinda digging the motoblur. I KNOW, SACRILEDGE, but coming from all that rooted goodness, it's cool to see stock after so long.
Anyway, thanks for having me!.

Another ecstatic R2D2 owner/newbie!
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to share my little r2d2 story and join the group....
I used to scoff at the smartphone. This is my first - I was an env touch user (actually liked it quite a bit, was perfect for what I USED to use a phone for). We need more smart people, not phones, I used to say, or what happened to phones that are used to call people?? Well, that all changed when I saw r2d2. And the multimedia docking station, I was sold! Honestly though, I had no idea what I was in for. This thing really has changed my life. I am kind of obsessed with it...:greendroid: It really does DO!!
I'm not even that big of a star wars fan. But the design is so nice, and I love the sounds. I'm just surprised there aren't more users complaining about the bloatware. Yeah I know you all are saying it doesn't take up much space, and to be honest I installed a 16GB card so it isn't the space,. I just hate having all these apps I never use sitting these clogging up the app area. IS there any way to remove them without rooting? I've had the phone for 3 weeks tops and I am pretty proud of the way I am becoming app-savvy, but I do not trust myself to not ruin my precious r2d2 after rooting it somehow. I would love to take advantage of the things you can do once rooting, and overdrive it too (or whatever you experts call it), but yeah, I've got the fear in me for my droid. I want to talk about it though! What apps do you run, what do you use most, etc. I had no idea that apps can take a phone to basically a small handheld computer....no, far more than that. My PC can't act as a bubble level, scanner, or half of what my r2d2 can do.
Forget the naysayers, really. As far as I am concerned my droid blows the iphone, which people can't seem to shut up about, out of the water. It is so fast, I multitask alllll the time, no issues really with it, the only thing of course is the battery life. Anyway I'm in love with my r2d2 and excited to be here and hope to learn more from you all.
