Hello! I set my gmail account at my hd2! When I hit send/receive button to check if I have a new mail, all previous mails on my database dissapeared! Leo shows me only unread messages but I want to be able to view my "old" mails at my database too! What can I do to solve that? Any help please? Im with Energy rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
Use IMAP rather than POP3 should resolve it.

If you want POP3 only option is a software to move mail to another folder within that mail account as it only removes mail from inbox.

I use POP3 & POMO to move my important mail to folders created by me & delete junk or leave it in inbox, works well for my usage requirements.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eirhnh_k:
Thanks but gmail is already IMAP as far as I know! Am I wrong? So what can I do? To set again from the beggining my account and choose IMAP server? In what software did yoy refer to? :) sorry for my bad english
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
default setup is IMAP.

when I used IMAP all mail stays present in inbox.

I use POMO to organise mail with simple rules & move mail to another folder in my POP3 accounts so they are not deleted on next send/receive.

I managed to fix that! I didnt use that programm but with many "magic" and with little bit luck I fixed that prob in gmail an hotmail too! Thanks for help
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrATty:
If you gMail set as an IMAP account, you can use it as an Exchange server. In ActiveSync on your HD2, select 'configure server' and enter 'm.google.com'. Use your gMail account details as the user. Remember to de-select calendar and contacts etc unless you want to sync those with Google as well. The advantage of this setup is that you can set the email schedule to collect mail as it arrives. It does use more power so I use it during work hours only.

Heyho,

i've extracted some files from ApplicationData -> Location -> Cache -> GSM

I think this are GPS coordinates for phone tracking (the files appears after i enabled the tracking option in preferences)

The files (GsmXXXXXXXXX.bcn) are encrypted with SafeGuard (???) - is there any known way to decrypt this files?!

Hello,

I've just installed CyanogenMod 7 on my Milestone, and as I hate ADW.Launcher, I used this mod to remove it and replace with the default gingerbread launcher. The problem is that my application icons are now blurry(only at the app tray, not on the home screen):

What should I do to solve this?

Best Regards,

Nathan Paulino Campos
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rampee:
I've faced the same problem. Heard that it has something to do with MDPI icons stretching to HDPI or some such thing. No one seems to have fixed it yet.

Another thing about the stock launcher --> laggy as hell (consumes lots of memory). It would be good to see a lighter, stock 3D launcher for all 2.3 ROMs.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
I noticed that when using cronos ginger...

I can't stand them 3D lauchers anyway...

I don't see how anybody can actually hate ADW... if I try another launcher I always miss ADW features
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] nathanpc:
Use a 3rd-party launcher like ADW or GO. Both will automatically set the icons to hdpi.

Yep, the ones giving themselves root access to download remote code for your phone. ;)

No, really, you're prolly better off to flash a rooted stock kernel such as CF-Root by Chainfire, it's the normal kernel that came with your firmware but root access is added (plus the necessary tools), nothing else. Got no link at hand but a quick forum search should make you find it instantly. :)

1. Setting the notification dropdown shade to transparent

Instructions:

Download Baksmali Tool - directions for use are at the end of post 1

Open the services.jar file for example with winzip, 7z, winRar, or whatever. Unzip the classes.dex file into the folder with decompile.bat and recompile.bat from the Baksmali Tool zip.

Run decompile.bat - this will decompile classes.dex into a new folder called classout folder. Browse to classout/com/android/server/status and open the file called StatusBarService.smali with a text editor like notepad.

Search for "const/4 v5, 0x2", it should be under ".line 1629". Just change this to "const/4 v5, -0x3" and save the file.

Run recompile.bat - this will recompile the classout folder into classes.dex and rename the original file to orig-classes.dex

Open again the services.jar file with any zip tool and overwrite the classes.dex file with the one just created.

Now search the drawable-hdpi/status_bar_background.png file in the framework-res.apk and make it transparent.

Push the updated framework-res.apk and services.jar back to the /system/framework/ directory on your phone.

statusbar_background and title_bar_portrait are not proper draw-9 pngs. You will need to fix these before you can recompile. This error will keep apk Manager from using anything in your projects folder when it compiles.

Here are valid pngs for those two images. If you are unable to fix yours, try replacing your with these in the projects/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi folder and then try to compile again.

Thanks, I am still experimenting with it. I manage to recompile fine now. Reading logs really does help. I manage to get my menu to show the color I want. Now just need to work on the secondary menu when when you press more. It is tricky because the main menu popup you can use standard color codes #ff808080 is the gray I used and works fine. But for the secondary menu you cant use color codes, it fails compilation.

EDIT: so i finally got it to work (the secondary menu) but adding in textColor and remove text appearance item.

So for main popup bottom menu, this is the field to edit: TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item, change the textColor directly to a color of your choice in this format #ffffffff (white), mines is #ff808080 (dark gray).

For the secondary menu for areas that has a "more", find this field: Theme.ExpandedMenu, and just add in a textColor entry. You can copy and paste the one from TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item. remove the text appearance item.

3 days work finally solved, thanks everyone. Now the theme is a bit more flush with certain third party apps.

Thanks Nguyen, I had actually decompiled the classes.dex from services.jar a little while back; but without a guide I had absolutely no idea what I was looking at. Its a bit more complicated than framework-res. Once I get in there and make the changes I'll add something about editing services.jar to the first post of this thread.

Look for the .line 61

The below changes it to green from white

.line 61
const v6, -0x1

to

.line 61
const v6, 0xFF4CFF00
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jimbush3:
0xFF4CFF00 - wouldn't a straight white be 0xFFFFFFFF?

I'm coming from an html background and through all the xml edits I've done and whatnot, the white color code is FFFFFFFF. So, to go to black my code should be 0xFF000000, right?

**edit, actually I just threw that second code you posted, 4CFF00, into gimp and it gave me a bright green. Maybe you meant the bloew code changes from white to green?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
I worded it weird. Guess I shouldve said from white to green instead of to green from white.

I got in there today and blacked out my clock, thank you both for the help. I've also added the steps and some useful tools to the first post for editing the status bar clock.

I'm so damn close to having my phone the way I want, for this week at least, but I've run into a new snag and don't know where to look yet. I edited the following code in styles.xml:

<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_dark</item> under <style name="Theme">

and I changed it to @drawable/menu_bg, which referenced a background image I created and replaces the screen_background_dark which points to the black color in the drawables.xml file. For the most part this works perfectly, as seen here:

The only problem is, and this really is the only one I've found, is my alarm settings screen:

If I change that one value back to black then the alarms screen show up perfectly fine, black background, white alarm text, etc. I'm not ever sure where to start to look for the solution to this one. Maybe I should just sleep:
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
Sometimes to walk away is the best idea. then the solution will come to you when you least expect it.

im still unable to recompile after editing my value xmls. cant figure out why.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jimbush3:
Whats your log.txt say?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] NguyenHuu:
I forgot to mention this, I think it will help. I had trouble recompiling too at first. the reason I found was that the framework-res.apk contained PNG files that were replaced AFTER a successful compilation. In other words, instead of decompiling the framework-res first, people just drag and dropped PNGs into the drawable's folder and just pushed the framework back, which worked if no XML editing was done.

So once you decompile the framework again, then recompile, it will give you errors because it is trying to recompile with "after-market" PNGs. To work around this, get all your modified PNGs and save it on your pc. then delete all the PNGs inside the framework-res, replace them all with stock PNGs. Make your XML edits. recompile it. Then after everything is done, you can drag and drop your modified Pngs back into the framework, overwriting the originals.

Another tip is that everytime you get an error recompiling, delete the folder inside the projects folder and decompile again and start over. Dont use the same project fodler as that is already currupted from the previous bad biuild.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
cool ill try that. :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] NguyenHuu:
Also another note, when you get a bad recompilation error its mainly cuz of the .9.pngs. You have to go through the drawable-hdmi folder, look for doubles and delete them. For example, you may see statusbar_background.9.png and statusbar_background.png. Delete both of them and replace with stock .9 images. a bad build will convert your .9 into a regular .png. so you may have a few duplicates that also gives you compilation errors. make sure when you copy over the stock pngs that there are no duplicates either.

in my case I get 7 duplicates, a couple are listed below to give you an idea of what I mean but duplicates.

highlight_pressed.9.png

highlight_pressed.png

highlight_selected.9.png

highlight_selected.png

list_selector_background_focus.9.png

list_selector_background_pressed.9.png

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jimbush3:
Check out the attached program. I can't write up a full guide right now but basically you put any png you want into the example1/res/drawable-hdpi folder, edit it to create the 1 pixel draw 9 border with appropriate stretch guides, and then run xUltimate-d9pc.exe. It will convert your draw 9 images into the needed format for the atrix and put them in a done/example1/res/drawable-hdpi folder. You can then unzip your original framework-res.apk, put them in it, and then effectively decompile the framework with apk Manager. This way you can keep the images you want and not have to revert them to stock. I haven't had to use it in a while since I got my framework straight, but it good for getting one ready to decompile.

That is in error, the stock services.jar is compressed, it is framework-res you are thinking of, and that is about resources.arsc.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jimbush3:
I guess I was wrong but when I started working on the services.jar I swear I zipped it up under normal compression and pushed it to the phone only to have it soft brick. I thought I took those same files and zipped them up with the compression set to store and pushed them with success, but I was doing so many edits at that time that I likely fixed the real problem, forgot about it, and zipped it up as Store. Either way, the store version is working on my phone so its not a brick issue - but I will update my original post accordingly. Many thanks - clearly I'm still learning,
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] prauch2k:
im assuming you have to have your files deodexed since when I extract my services.jar with winrar all i get is.. services\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF and nothing else in it. :eek: The command I used to pull the services was.. adb pull /system/framework/services.jar services.jar. I'm running the new OTA and i havent deodexed.. might that be the issue?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jimbush3:
Yes I am deodexed, when I have some spare time I'll look into performing these edits on an odexed system too.

**Edit - I had no luck trying to figure out a good way to edit the color on an odexed file system. I recommend deodexing if you plan to do any edits.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jimbush3:
Ok, in need of assistance yet again. I believe that in order to set the notification dropdown shade as a transparent item you need to add the transparent image to framework-res and also edit services.jar. My question is, where exactly am I editing in services.jar to enable this?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jpinoy:
When you pull a file, you don't use the name of the file at the end... it has to be a 'place' to put the file your pulling...

adb pull /system/framework/service.jar framework
*** This will put it in a folder called 'framework' in your adb directory
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] tonecreationz:
Took me a while to figure this out...but it isn't too difficult...

Instructions:

1) First download smali-1.2.6.jar and baksmali-1.2.6.jar from here http://code.google.com/p/smali/downloads/list. Rename them to just smali.jar and baksmali.jar.

2) Open the services.jar file for example with winzip, 7z, winRar, or whatever. Unzip the classes.dex file to a new folder and place the baksmali and smali file there too. After that open a new command window within that folder and run following line:

java -jar baksmali.jar -o out/ classes.dex

3) You'll have a new folder now called "out". Browse to "out/com/android/server/status" and open the file called StatusBarService.smali with a text editor like notepad.

4) Search for "const/4 v5, 0x2", it should be under ".line 1629". Just change this to "const/4 v5, -0x3" and save the file.

5) Open a new command window within the folder you created or maximize the same command you used before and run this:

java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar out/ -o edited-classes.dex

6) Now you'll have a new dex file called "edited-classes.dex". Rename the old dex file to classes_old.dex and rename the new file to "classes.dex".

7) Open again the services.jar file with any zip tool and overwrite the classes.dex file with the one just created.

8) Now search the status_bar_background.png file in the framework-res.apk and make it transparent.

9) Push the updated framework-res.apk and services.jar back to the /system/framework/ directory on your phone.

That's it! ;)

Edit: Forgot to mention that you will need to install the Java SE JDK if you haven't already in order to use smali and baksmali...
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jimbush3:
Perfectly written tonecreationz, now I just need to find the time to implement this. Once I do I'm going to add this info to one of the original posts here so that its readily available for all others as well. But I have to ask, I googled and searched all over for this kind of info and while I found some snippets here and there that gave me ideas of where to look, I couldn't for the life of me find anything as specific as what you've written here. Are you just godlike at breaking down java code or what?

ps - I've found out what's happening with my alarm times screen but am stumped on how to fix it, so I'll likely be requesting a little assistance from all you themers out there with cracking this one. I really want to get the update of my theme out there soon, and get it finished for me as well.

Thanks again :D

**Edit - well I've tooled around in my file system so much that I don't know what the breakdown is, but I pulled the services.jar from my phone and it already contained the needed edit for transparency. I also pulled the framework-res.apk, set the status_bar_background.png to completely transparent but no luck. It shows a solid black background now - its not the only issue that I'm having though so I'm planning a whole new CWM install of my edited version of GingerBlur 3.1 to clear out whats in there now and get some working items in. Thanks for the info, I'll use it in the future - I just don't know whats blocking it now.
