Tools needed :

Apk manager 4.9 (using options for each step )

Notepad++( Hexadecimal editor for *.xml )

1. pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk (option 0)

2. Decompile apk (option 9)

3. add your pic to drawable-hdpi (must be a .png) and resize it as 480x800 ( if not, the picture will be stretched to fit in the resolution ) _ you can rename the file lockscreen_background.png for example

4. open the file res\layout\keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml with notepad++, and find the line

<RelativeLayout android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:id="@id/root" android:background="#70000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"

change to

<RelativeLayout android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:id="@id/root" android:background="@drawable/lockscreen_background" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"

5. compile the apk (option 11)

(when recompile do)

5.1. Hit yes to "system app".

5.2. Hit yes to restoring the files:

6. -Open the "keep" folder and delete resources.arsc and res\layout\keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml

7. when it is done, rename unsignedframework-res.apk to framework-res.apk and put it back to /system/framework/ again (you can just drag it to the zip file with 7zip)

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]=============Lockscreen Note==================

Once you have my theme, no needs to follow my Tuto as i already coded the xml for the lockscreen
You only need a picture 480 x 800
Open my zip file theme with 7zip and drag the picture in :

Framework > framework-res.apk > res > drawable

Then go back and 7zip will ask you to apply the changes on the apk.
All done, enjoy it!

Enjoy it :rolleyes:

tried to change picture on LeeDroid 3.0.2 and stuck on splash screen
[Desire Themes and Apps] Matty Matt:
This is cool, but will it have to be changed every time you change your wallpaper? And on a completely unrelated note, do you have a Lion cub as a pet? (looking at the lock screen and one of your home screens)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Yorzua:
If you are stuck on splash screen, must be something wrong during the compilation of the apk _ did you tried to modify *.png9 files as well ?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Yorzua:
Unfortunately, until some dev with free time wants to launch an app' for that, yes, we will need to changed the background _ only the background as the setup @drawable/whatever you named your picture.png doesnt change.

Hope it helps ;)

Something is wrong when i try to open the xml file with N++ :( ..i've upload my xml file,could you edit it just like u said in step 4??? :) ty
[Desire Themes and Apps] Ignore.z:
I only changed picture
[Desire Themes and Apps] Yorzua:
Sorry my friend, wrong file

You must edit

keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml

Try again with the correct file, follow the steps and everything should be fine as it working for me and many people more :rolleyes:
[Desire Themes and Apps] Yorzua:
I need more infos in order to help you :

did you start from a stock framework.apk ?

did you get any erros during decompile/compile ?

did you change only the picture or did you modify the required xml too ?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Ignore.z:
yes, I started from stock apk

i had no errors

i put new picture (lockscreen_background.png) to drawable-hdpi and modify the xml like you write
[Desire Themes and Apps] Yorzua:
lockscreen_background.png to drawable folder

Second error :

lockscreen_background.png MUST be placed in drawable and not in drawable-hdpi

[Desire Themes and Apps] LfcFan1977:
Thanks for tutorial Yorzua. I have wanted to do this for a long time without a lockscreen app.

Do you know if it is possible to add a background image to the pattern lock screen?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Yorzua:
a screenshot maybe ?

Could you please add a screenshot and point me into "pattern lock screen" ?

I would like to help you but i am not sure what you mean...:o
[Desire Themes and Apps] LfcFan1977:
pattern lock screen

The pattern lock screeen appears after the lockscreen.

So you can see for yourself on your Desire, press the menu button, then >settings>Location & security settings. Under Screen unlock choose >Change screen lock - Change or disable pattern, PIN, or password security. After that there is a tutorial.

Here is a poor picture of it. I will search for a better one.

Patron Lockscreen background

First of all, thanks for the thanks, appreciated ;)

I know where to look because i modded it long time ago for my Theme :

Not sure if it is really possible to do what you are searching for but it is interesting and i will try to take a look at it => if it is exists, for sure will be located in one of the xml's in framework-res.

Hope it helps you a bit more :o
[Desire Themes and Apps] LfcFan1977:
Well, your work is appreciated.

I thought it maybe a similar edit as the lockscreen mod, removing the hex colour code and adding a image command but I would not know where to start looking or exactly what I should be looking for.

Good luck ;)

[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
Greetings to everybody,

The idea of this thread is to list Android 2.2x OS mods and solutions which are not listed in the Atrix 4G development forums but users have tested them to work on the Atrix.

A lot of users are new to Android with their Atrix (like myself), All or must of what rely on is what's available here.

Sure some users with past experience tried going back to a mod or a workaround they used before with other android phones. Please share those. :)

*NOTE: Kindly, Only post mods and fixes which you personally tested and found to be working on the Atrix along with the XDA topic URL. Thank you.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tonecreationz:
we're very limited at the moment at what we can do to our atrix due to the fact that the bootloader is locked...other than the two roms available, gladiatrix and gingerblur, and some custom theming, there isn't much more we can do...i would just stick within the atrix forums for now, i'm sure the devs will inform us of new mods when available, no need to create a single thread for that...

[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
You got me wrong bros.

Some mods/fixes only require root. There must be some "generic" mods for Android within this limitation. Right?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bearsfan172:
Yes technically this is true. Like for example, some people have gotten UOT kitchen to work on the Atrix, even though it was a Desire S (I think) mod originally. Then again, it has bricked a lot of people too
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dicksteele:
Interesting. I started the thread, I counted one person out of the 54 posts and 2,422 views whose phone got whorked.

[LG Optimus 2x] olyloh6696:
Hi all. Im due an upgrade i summer. Im looking At this phone or the desire s. But is this phone buggy? Is the dua core really something special? Reviews on the 2x arent too good atm, the phone has many negative points abt it! It was like that with my tg01. I got it because it was the worlds first 1ghz phone. (just like this is the worlds first dual core) my tg01 has soo mamy bugs with it and it was rushed out. Is the 2x like this? I hear it is very buggy. I dont want to get another phone like my tg01 where i rely on custom roms for the phone to be usable.

So long story short, is this phone good? Is dual core something special? Or is speed more or less the same as single cores? Some ppl say that dual core is not needed with android.. Is this true?

Sorry for the quick messy typing (not on pc) and looking for some quick answers!

Cheers
[LG Optimus 2x] olyloh6696:
bump :')

anyone?
[LG Optimus 2x] sommer07:
Its GPU is a bit ahead of the Samsung's... The CPU is far ahead. In Smartbench 2011 I score 4142CPU and 2953GPU and no samsung devices are even on the charts (with 1.4ghz OC but still stock is a lot better, and I would recommend installing a custom rom...). The call quality can be quite bad until you flash the baseband but after that it should be great. I have nothing bad to say about this phone, and when 2.4 comes out it will only get better :) (2.4 is rumored to come with real dual-core support)
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
Even though mine's been working quite well for past 2 weeks as my daily phone, there are also people who are quite fed up with theirs.

I hadn't read xda's user reviews prior to getting mine, but if I were to get another 2x now, I would wait for LG to provide a firmware update that significantly reduces the lock-up/reboot/battery drain issues. It's just to be perfectly sure that I will get one as stable (or more so) than my existing 2x.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
I believe the battery drain issue can be fixed manually. just need a through check on whats running and how
[LG Optimus 2x] olyloh6696:
thank you all for replies!

(xilw3r sorry i have run out if thanks!)

i

so most issues will be fixed with updates? but does the phone need to use a custom rom to be usable? is lg's ui good?

and is dualcore really much of a difference? do you notice a giant speed difference betweeen other android phones, or is it overhyped?

is battery life good on this? how long heavy use can it last under wifi?

im really stuck considering this and the

desire s
[LG Optimus 2x] DarthD:
LG ui is laggy and a personal choice, i use lancher pro plus. heavy use and wifi battery lasts a few hours.

Battery doesnt last a day with low usage for me. 5-10% per hour on standby. With 3g on and mail twitter etc sync every 60 minutes. my old hero lasts longer with heavier use
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
Can't comment much on the performance or UI as I moved over from Symbian. Though, it's much smoother in its user interaction than my son's LG Optimus One, but that's single core, 600mhz.

On days that I don't play much with it and actually use it like a typical work phone, the battery remains above 50% by 6pm. I think usually about 1 to 1.5 hour talk, hourly email auto-checks, less than half-hour of browsing and less than 20 SMSes. I am not a heavy user: I don't IM at all, nor GPS or game much. Just typical work-type usage.

Note: I switch off wifi when I am out of the house and rely on 3G for data connection. I find that keeps the battery lasting longer.
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
then you have some application/service/process running roque

Mine easily last 10 hours in standby with only 1% battery use (wifi and 3g and autosync enabled)

if you have 5-10% drain per hour on standby, you have some application/service/process not going to sleep as it should, using cpu and power, and preventing your phone from entering standby mode.

Thats not a problem of the phone - but a software issue that you as user need to investigate and solve

with low usage I easily get 2 days running - with moderate use 1½ - and with heavy use 1 full day.
[LG Optimus 2x] DarthD:
No strange processes running here, spent a few days of testing with different roms aswell drain still exists
[LG Optimus 2x] olyloh6696:
thanks fir responses! i was gonna say 5-10 drainage in an hr is bad! is the a common problem? i heard abt these battey issues!
[LG Optimus 2x] bachi2:
Battery usage:

16h after power was unplugged, I still have around 40-45% of battery. Low usage (WiFi/3G on, a few calls, gTalk, but no email sync activated).

ROM: 10b

optimus one was a great phone with dew bugs, why cant they make the same quality on a HIGHER END handset lol :S ?
[LG Optimus 2x] brian6685:
If you look through the forums of any phone, there will be a lot of people talking about how they have some sort of problem.

[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
yea but o2x is A LOT, mean u have 60 page thead about reboot issues.... that doesnt look too promising ..

You can always return it if you have too many problems

Nexus S
[LG Optimus 2x] yglup:
The stores have em already, G-slate and G2x. Played with both today, I know the manager in store but before somebody make a dumb comment pertaining to that, aint nuttin top secret and no special info was bestowed on me because of who I know. The stores just have them stocked already. The slate is nice though, good build, nice size and weight, kinda reminded me of the ipad but lighter. Honeycomb makes our phones look like gameboy colors.
[LG Optimus 2x] yglup:
But the G2x was also better than my expectations! By far blows most of the others out of water.

hi all,

during kies updating my phone (gt-i5801), i found I5801DDJP2 in temp folder.

i saved copy of the same for future use.

if anyone can take a risk to flash phone with this rom. this can be used with odin rather using kies.

to verify this,

i flashed my phone back to ddj6 & after that applied jp2, it works.

hope this be useful to someone.
[Galaxy 3 General] YanOri:
Thanks for the good job ;-)
[Galaxy 3 General] cdesai:
Thnx man

I tried to search it but after flashing so it was deleted

anyways jp2 is crap

jpm is better

and custom roms best

btw where did you find it

Temp folder where
[Galaxy 3 General] dpthakar:
when kies was installing new rom

i searched on c:\ (before flashing was completed)

dir *.tar /s

it was stored in c:\docu..\dhaval\local...\temp\temp12....

temp12.. is random folder & may be deleted after flashing.
[Galaxy 3 General] haree:
hi

for those who could not update via kies the same is now available on samfirmware download the same and enjoy :D:D

tnx

[Atrix 4G General] crippenx:
Have a weird issue with my call waiting -- it just seems to go through and switch me over without notice and without my input. I'll be talking to someone, and then suddenly I'm talking to someone else .. ?!?!

Anyone else having this issue? I don't even hear a -beep- like my old phones which used to warn me of a second call ..

My theory is that when the call comes through the screen lights-up and waits for my input and perhaps my face is accepting the change-over?!

If I hold the phone and use speakerphone, I see the prompt for the second-call ..

any help appreciated!
[Atrix 4G General] Reason4444:
Exactly same isssue..

Your theory is right, i'm experienced twice at least today.. There is a big green button at lower screen area while call waiting state.. It's too easy to activate one of them accidentally with your face..

Anyway, i want to change dialer, but every dialer app only change dialer, but "on-call screen" stay stock one which i don't like... :(

Any suggestions ?
[Atrix 4G General] crippenx:
Sorry, hadn't seen your response ---

I still haven't resolved this issue either .. very annoying. I'm talking to one person then all of a sudden I'm speaking to someone else.

I've tried to reproduce the problem by having a conversation and having someone then call me .. but I couldn't .. this time I heard the call-waiting beep and it didn't switch over, it waited for my input.

When I get 'the issue', it just switches over to the other call without my permission and it terminates the first call.

I'm wondering if this is a fault with my phone, or an issue with the pseudo-roms i have on my phone like Gingerblur, gladiatrix, etc --- or the dialer itself .. shrug

no one else experience this?

My system MIUI RC5...

1. When there is a new notification, the wording cut off at the top and bottom... i don't know whether this is only my device issue or not...

2. The dialer FC after making the first dial... and i can't access the dialer after that... keeps on force closing... i don't know whether this is a theme issue or not...

Any help will be much appreciate it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] muveszur:

its cool :)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Not for the reasons you think, though. For users, it may not seem to be a big change. But for devs/modders here it is a MAJOR change. It is going to create a lot of problems and modders here will need to make some decisions, quickly.

I am not permitted to tell you my own plans, other than this:

1- TNT Lite is going to be retired and will not developed anymore. This is true EVERYWHERE, not just on XDA.

2- TwoTapsX is replacing TNT Lite as my active "mostly stock" ROM, after this weekend. I have been waiting for a month to make this decision, and now I finally can. I will NOT be hosting TwoTapsX here, other than a link (if permitted) - it was based on TNT Lite 5 and that mod was not welcomed here as it was felt to be "too risky". No matter what is being said, the fact of the matter is that TNT Lite 5 / TTx was ultimately pulled due to pressure from power users and one moderator here, because of soft-brickage. That it the truth. And then I left it down until VS showed us what path they would be taking. These same soft-bricks will now occur for 4349 users, which is why I have asked people to tread very carefully.

3- gADAM is going to be retired, as well (EVERYWHERE, not just here on XDA). I will re-do it as a "1.2" based mod, if I can, with a new name.

So, my "1.1" based mods aren't moving, they are actually being retired everywhere. Moderators, please make a note of this. I will be updating this information everywhere, today. That's the decision I've made as Viewsonic has shown us where they are headed and I will follow that path.
[G Tablet General] cd112:
Hey Roebeet

Are you going to be working on a procedure for the folks that have tntlite 4.40 (me) :) to upgrade to TNTLite 5.0 now that the newer bootloader is out. I know that you will be doing this on a different site. Just now sure if this was coming anytime in the near future..

Also do you think it is still a big high risk to go with the TNTlite 5.0 or the risk has reduced dramatically.

thanks for all your help again.
[G Tablet General] KCFalcon59:
SO, I got my 2nd gtab yesterday and updated to 3588 and then 4349. Are you saying I will have issues going to TwoTapsX when it is ready?
