Revert 2.1 Droid Multimedia Dock to 2.0.1

[lastguy2getps2]

Ok scratch that earlier post lol I got it working fine?

Here's what I did step by step:

1) Download these Dock.apk and AlarmClock.apk (just to be sure everything is replicated) 2.0.1Clock_Dock.zip

3) Put the 2 .apk files into the root directory of your sdcard.

2) For the sake of ease I'm going to instruct you to do it via terminal emulator on the phone (cause I don't know if you have the SDK installed and can do adb commands). There are a few on the market. I personally love Connectbot, it free, gets the job done, and it's free (LOL). Type this lines one by one.

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cp /sdcard/Dock.apk /system/app/
cp /sdcard/AlarmClock.apk /system/app/
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
sync
**reboot (optional if you want to take extra precaution lol, I didn't and it still worked)

Viola, 2.0.1 dock and alarm clock. You don't really need to install AlarmClock.apk if you don't want to but if you're going to click on the alarm clock button in the dock you're going to have to install it because you're going to get force closes.

Sooo close. The alarm clock (2.0.1) works fine. Unfortunately multimedia dock is still crashing. When I put the phone in the dock I have an option to select Clock (normal 2.1) or Multimedia Dock (2.0.1 causes crash).

I didn't see a Dock.apk in the ZIP....only a DeskClock.apk (which I assume is 2.1)...

I've tried copying your commands using the Dock.apk I got from my update.zip (2.0.1) but to no avail....

Any ideas?

Thank you for all your help thus far.

ok here's the fixed one must have accidentally picked the deskclock oneb by mistake. fixedclockdock.zip

try installing the dock.apk included first and see if it works if not you might have to delete the com file associated with the dock.apk (assuming there is one lol, I didn't really check lol I removed it after I got it to work). Clear out the dock app's "com" files from /data/data/ with root explorer

or with terminal:

cd /data/data
find . -name "*dock*" -print
rm insertappnamehere

If it's not finding it just list everything and try to find the name manually

cd /data/data
ls
