OK- so i extract this framework-res.apk file in the rom, and i change a few of the icons, and now clearly it's time to save the changes in the framework-re.apk form, but HOW?!?!?!

and that..............^ is the question. how to compress an extracted apk file back?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krystalho:
Use 7-zip or WinRAR.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naranova7:
how am i supposed to do that? there's no compress to apk options, or should i first compress to zip then rename the format to .apk?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Let me get to the point. I just got my G2x yesterday, swapped everything from my N1. On WiFi, np, I can access anything thru the internet. W/o WiFi, I still get MMS and can trick my phone in getting short data, like my current weather in a widget, etc. but when a browser is pulled up, it tells me I have the wrong data plan and I have to update.

Now, I know exactly what this is, my question is more if there is a way of circumnavigating it? I have the same plan I had w/my G1, which was just before the data plans changed and I don't want to have upgrade to one of thier new limited-unltd AND pay more on top of it. I was planning on rooting it anyway as I have my past to Androids (thanks by the way XDA, w/o this site, I couldn't have done it), but was waiting for CM7. I know there are several great ROMs out there though, many more than when I originally flashed my G1 and if by rooting it, I would work around whatever is relaying my phn info.

Oh, and so everyone knows, I haven't updated my imei yet w/TMo, but I've never experienced this before even w/o my imei being updated.

Anyway, hope my rambling has at least stayed near the tracks of reason and someone can give me an answer. If I have to update my service then I have to, I just don't like being "forced" to :mad: , makes me think AT&T and I would LOOOOOOVE to get around this!

Thx all...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JsonV:
Call T-Mobile and tell them what you're seeing. They'll probably first tell you that you'll have to upgrade, or pay more. Tell them that is unacceptable and you'd like to be grandfathered in.

See if that works, I've heard that some people who used T-Zones back in the day are grandfathered in at $5.99 for unlimited web. I'm not sure how valid this may be, but try your luck with T-Mobile and post back here what the outcome was.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
I'll give it a try, but I'm going to give hope a chance and hold my breath hoping that maybe, just maybe, this can be circumnavigated by freezing and/or removing some sort of pre-installed mothership progam hidden in one of the many bloatware by TMo...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icecicle04:
im grandfatherd with the 6 dollar tzones but it cut off on me last week like when i go to the web it tells me my plans not sufficent for it so idk what to do but im not gettin a data plan
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hukkguai:
If you are on T-Zones I really doubt you will be able to keep it. What I would do is call retentions and try to get them to put the grandfathered $20 Android plan on there so at least you get it for a little bit less.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Pretty much the same thing I'm getting, it redirects me to web2go.com and tells me I have to update my data plan.

Don't get me wrong, if the TMo commercial chick dressed up like a dominatrix, I would make it my screensaver among other things, it doesn't mean I long for my provider to act the role...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsapp:
Did you renew your contract?? I am still using the $25 plan I got when I had my G1. At some point (can't remember if I was still on G1 or Nexus One) but I had to switch to the "Android Data Plan" instead of the G! plan (to get Visual Voicemail). My price remained the same, just the name changed. But, I didn't renew my contract when I bought this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Nope, no contract.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Adam7986:
Do you know the name of the actual plan you have? I am a Tech Care rep and the only time you would need to change from a grandfathered plan is if you had a generic smartphone plan instead of an android specific plan.

You may have to upgrade to the android specific, but there are ways around paying the higher cost. Retentions is a good way, got a guy the $20 buck plan yesterday to match his loyalty Blackberry internet plan through retentions.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikebionca06:
Glad I'm on Simple Mobile can't beat the price
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Adam7986:
True but good luck with any customer service or tech support.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
I just got my G2x today coming from my N1. I was able to keep my Myfaves + unlimited android data, in fact it was recommended i keep it because it has a 5gb cap and the new plan would be 2gb
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikebionca06:
Ive been with them since it was available ,never had to call customer support and never had an issue...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] piztol44pete:
as far as i have tried the t-zones or t-web plan will not work, i had to finally ditch mine after 7 years, i did call t-mobile and asked to speak to a loyalty rep. which i then explained that i was not going to pay more than 20 for a plan with a new 2 year upgrade, which did not take to much convincing they gave me the unlimited Android data plan for 20 bucks a month. Trust me i did not want to let go of my 9.99 plan which worked great with my HD2 with 3g speeds, but for an extra 10 bucks a month its worth not having to worry about will it work and trying to find the right settings.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Yeah, I'm sure I'm going to have to buckle as well. Going to flash the CM build that was just released. After that, go the loyalty route I guess.

Oh, and...

GO POKES!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] donutman:
So can anyone confirm you have to upgrade from the g1 plan to take advantage of 4h data speeds?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] down8:
That is just a name change - has no effect on speeds.

Still on my "Android Unlimited" for $25 (after changing from "G1 Plan" for VVM).

Did you buy your SIM from SM directly?

-bZj
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
Nope, as I said Im still on my plan from my G1 that was also used on the N1. they just gave me a new sim card.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Adam7986:
Which is great, but if one day you need it, they don't have a contact number/e-mail listed on their website and T-Mobile can't help you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Well, I added the "data throttling removal" patch because at least a few of the posts sounded as if by using this Paul O'Brien patch they circumnavigated the need to change plans. Alas, to no avail, although now, I shouldn't have to worry about data throttling should I downgrade to the (limited) unlimited plan.

It appears than my Holy Grail continues to elude me! At this point, I would even just accept some Knights who say "NI!" I'd trade a shrubbery for a resolution...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikett26:
You don't have to upgrade from the G1 plan to get 4G speeds. I'm coming from the G1 and the in-store rep tried to tell me I had to upgrade as the G1 plan was no longer being offered.

TMo loyalty took care of that BS and grandfathered my G1 plan to my G2x. So it's still $25/month with a 5GB cap.

I don't use VVM so I don't know if my plan is compatible with it or not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yabozak:
Total Internet to Android Data Plan

I had the Total Internet plan for smart phones ($19.99) since 2004. It was still working on my Nexus One (rooted and custom rom), but would not work on my G2X (rooted, stock rom). I bought both phones from private sellers on CL.

So I called T-mobile retentions dept they tried to sell the $30 plan, but I asked to be grandfathered at $19.99. They agreed, but I had to commit for 2 years.

Two things:

1. Confirming retention agents were able to grandfather in an Android data plan.

2. Why was the smart phone data plan working on Nexus One, but not G2X, thoughts please?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aczarney:
Only t-zones or phone first web plans should have to change (really any 9.99 web plan). Any grandfathered smartphone plan will work with any android phone or windows phone. If you had a grandfathered SK or BB plan previously though, you are SOL. Have them troubleshoot the issue, if its not working it another issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
The only thing I can think of that differentiates the Nexus One and the G2x (because I'm coming from the N1 also where my plan worked) is that the G2x is a 4g phone. So, by accessing the "4g" it somehow tags the phone as requiring an upgrade via the web2go Svc.

I still believe that there is something in the programing that red flags it and if it could be found, maybe a work around or flat out removal would be possible. It's been awhile since I've worked in the cell phone industry, but unless there's something I'm not aware of, a "4g" device accesses the same internet as any other device, just faster. So the only reason this new plan is necessary is for their profit.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yabozak:
Read in one if the threads here that it's the imei number. T mobile for some reason unknown, don't have those numbers in their database. But of course have the G2X imei numbers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Well, I've given up the ghost. I called tmo today and got my 4g svc. On a plus note, I got swapped up at no extra charge. So there is that. Of course, now I'm subject to throttling since it's a limited unlimited plan... I hope the modified O'Brien fix works.

u dont have to upgrade. just use the new sim card with it. call tmobile tell them u want the new sim card program with your no. and you are good to go.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmalkan:
Will Unlocking the phone let us use the 9.99 web2go plan on it without upgrading to the $30 plan?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aczarney:
More than likely, because the Nexus 1 isn't a T-Mobile device, its a Google device. Even being a device built for T-Mobile's bands, it's not a device T-Mobile supports as far as troubleshooting goes (we send you to nexus tech care with HTC).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtw78:
I'm trying to figure out exactly what's going on. I started having trouble with awful battery life on my Epic running stock EC05. I uninstalled a few things and tweaked some settings, but the reality was that I dropped from about 15 hours use to 8 hours use on a full charge. So I rooted and flashed a couple ROMs. I settled on Syndicate and things were trucking along nicely with normal (or better) battery life. Then it happened again. Down to about 8 hours of life for a full charge.

The only thing that is in common between the two is I downloaded and installed a weather widget just before things went to pot. On stock it was the WeatherBug widget and most recently Fancy Widget. I tried switching the updating to only once a day and only on WiFi, but it still chewed through the battery. So far, having removed Fancy Widget from my home screen looks to have solved the battery drain, but widgets aren't supposed to do that. I grabbed Spare Parts and looked at what was going on and found that my phone was spending the majority of its time awake or partially awake, even when I wasn't using it.

So, has anyone else experienced excessive battery drain after installing a weather widget? Do you use a custom launcher? Am I missing something else?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] socos25:
I have recently had this same problem. Thought I messed up soemthing with the install so I'm getting so good at wiping and reinstalling everything I did it again.

Didn't fix the problem. I was like WTF!!! :-) So using Spare parts it was telling me my phone wasn't sleeping, but partial wake looked fine.

So I did the airplane toggle and that seemed to fix it. I did recently install beautfiul widgets. not sure it is related.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scaven:
Hi,

I was wondering if someone who has the S2 and has had or spent some time with an iPhone 4 can comment on how clear the screen/text is when reading web pages etc.

I have a Nexus One and the resolution is horrible compared to the iPhone 4.

Does the RGB vs Pentile make a big difference?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I don't have the galaxy yet, but yes text will look much sharper. The nexus one had the pentile pixel layout, new galaxy does not.

Just play with the inspire or thunderbolt. They have same size large screen with same proper pixel layout as the new galaxy s, but it will also have amoled ad well. Best of both worlds.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesome-member:
much much better than sgs pentile but it suffers from heavy aliasing on web pages.i did notice this as soon as i got the phone even engadget points this out. the screen is great but the text on web pages are not as sharp as i'd like them to be(i did take into consideration that iphone's ips display has higher res).i wish some dev's could start on fixing this I'd more than happy to buy them a few beers.:)

the screen over all is great.heck its the best out there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I wonder why it would have worse aliasing than the nexus one or first galaxy s, since they have pentile pixels. This has higher resolution, more pixels, yet has an aliasing issue. Very strange, and disappointing...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] developing:
Probably just a bug in Samsung's browser, it'll be fixed eventually.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lookitzjohnny:
I wonder if the screen on the galaxy s ii will look the same as the galaxy s with voodoo color.

Super Amoled Plus = Super Amoled w/ voodoo color?

I hope supercurio cooks come kernels for this phone!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
It will look better cause the galaxy s2 has physically more pixels than the super amoled.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gizmothemighty:
Got an SGS2 last week and need to say I was quite deluded by text clarity. Not only does not compare to Iphone of gf (miles away) but it is even worse than Xperia Arc. I notice the aliasing on most letters not only in browser (stock or otherwise, tried several) but also on Gmail and Kindle, basically anywhere that there is a strong contrast between font color and background (ie black on white or viceversa). I'm not sure if the phone is victim of its own features like super contrast that makes jaggies more visible or there is a problem with my handset. Would appreciate if other people having the SGS2 and another phone (not pentile matrix based ofc) could report their experience.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daivik:
not 100% but i believe so. The RGB has a 50% increase in sub-pixels which basically gives the appearance of having a higher resolution/ppi. (at least that's what I've been led to believe)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robbie_G:
Hi all,

I'm having some troubles. I tried upgrading my clockworkmod recovery, and looking back there were some "out of memory" read errors. When my phone rebooted, it froze at the HTC screen. I have the ENG S-off thing installed, and I can get into fastboot mode (although I've never used it before). So what's the best way for me to get a working phone? So my thoughts are:

1. I have the recovery image file on my SDCard, but can I access that from fastboot?

2. If my internal memory is too full, preventing me from flashing something to recovery, do I need to clear that first?

Thank you anyone for helping! I await your help phoneless... :-/

Just check out the difference in color rendering and luminosity between the two.

And the quality gain gets even wider with viewing angles according to PLS technology sheets I've been reading.

This seriously makes me condiser the gtab again over the transformer now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eclair~:
Well Samsung did state that PLS was the evolution of IPS. So... I'm assuming it was supposed to better from the start. I don't know if it truly is. I will be waiting for Anandtech's review to find out.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Chandelure:
I bet Samsung is dying to put Amoled on on these new tabs, but I doubt it. I would only buy it if it was Super Amoled Plus (Pentile Matrix...), But I doubt it. Seems like it would be a little expensive. I do imagine however, that Sammy's made some sort of cheaper display that looks just as nice.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] K-DoG7p7:
Well Samsung have shown a 7" SuperAMOLED screen intended for tablets

My guess is that the next Galaxy Tab "7" will have SuperAMOLED (hopefully plus) and it will probably have the Exynos SoC

I flashed the market zip and installed the Talk apk, should my version be 1.3?
[Thunderbolt General] Memnoch73:
So after the now infamous 4G outage I did notice one important thing on my TB. That day I had the best battery life ever. First time I made it through the day without charging. Hopefully sometime soon we will have an official 4G on/off toggle. I know there is one that takes you to the service menu so you can change the settings but it would be nice to have one that you can just toggle 4G off to 3G then toggle back on without the extra steps.

And when 3G came out it was killing batteries also... And the circle of life continues...
[Thunderbolt General] trikotret:
I'm not sure if I am lucky or what. I am rooted and running BAMF rom. I use my TB just how i used my OG droid and I still get 15 hours on a single charge. I also have full 4G coverage in my area. That might be the cause. I dont see the connection switching around between 3G and 4G. Stays at 4G :D
[Thunderbolt General] Turd Furguson:
Power 2 antennas will definitely use some juice. ;) That's why individuals in non-4G markets (like myself), disable the feature to keep from constant searching.
[Thunderbolt General] catalyst105:
Agreed. I live in a 3G area, but work in a 4G area, and honestly didn't see much of a difference in normal usage except that my battery would die about 3/4 into the day with 4G enabled. Ever since I disabled 4G my battery lasts the whole day.
[Thunderbolt General] edward_g:
I am in a 3g area. Even before the outage my TB was always going from 3g to 1x. I called for help but it only continued. During the outage a fix was posted for a temp. fix to bring 3g back for those in a 3g area. The fix was to apply Rev. A. once I did this not only did I get 3g back but it remained stable and it was loading w a y faster then it ever has before. When I heard the 4g3g problem was fixed I followed the instructions to revert to the original setting. When I did the pages loaded slower like it always did. So I turned it back to Rev A. for good until I find myself in a real 4g environment. Oh and another big plus is that the battery has dramatically improved. So I am very happy leaving it like it is. Sweeet.
