No phone is perfect. So to fight about it, is just ignorant as hell. Don't talk about the sheep, when you are part of the herd. You might just get trampled.

Don't like you device? Get another. It really is that simple.

However:

To come back here and assert your opinion is the only viable one and get angry when a group of folks happy with their device disagree and fight back...

Thats the definition of idiocy. This is why the OP is getting so much resistance. To top it off, he got mad and threw a temper tantrum like a 4 year old who didn't get his way...

This is who you are defending.
[Thunderbolt General] turbosrrgood:
I have no sympathy for those who flip out and quit over small things, especially fixable things. When you go with a cutting (bleeding) edge phone like the TB, by far the first VZ LTE phone you'd better expect some "issues" to come along with it....Can't handle that? Get a flip phone or an out of date apple device.

Having said that, there ARE as expected, mostly minor issue's with the TB. Some people DO blindly defend the TB and are as bad as the OP in doing so IMO. These forums are useful to figure out and solve issues, but some people lash out and get upset at the mere mention that their device isn't perfect or the "best ever". They defend it as if it was their own spawn...It's still just a phone, I don't understand the emotional attachment...

I personally wanted the Bionic, and got the TB when it was delayed...and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. The device is very fast and reliable (when set up right), I get great service, and I think the battery issue is overblown...NO smartphones get good battery life.
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
I too wasn't completely sold on the TB. But unlimited 4G, a 32GB microSD card, and just overall upgrades coming from the INC, plus being able to sell my INC and basically get the TB for $50, I had to go with it. Has everything been perfect and working 100% from day one, hell no. But as of right now, im on CM7, everything works (4g & GPS included), and i'm pulling 14 hours avg on battery. Only 2 months after the phone came out, I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Once people realize it's an electronic device, and NO electronic device, that has ever come out, has worked perfectly 100% of the time. Maybe, just maybe, people will stop complaining.... or probably not :rolleyes:
[Thunderbolt General] hkg53:
This response sure did seperate you from those you admonished!!!
[Thunderbolt General] jasonbiggs:
You are absolutely correct in your views. If peeps were more civil in dealing with each other and not flaming just because they are angry people and behind a damn computer and not face to face, it would be a much more pleasant environment. You can respond with facts (and polite opinions) and not flames. Now, some idiot will probably have some POS statement to say about this...I bet :D
[Thunderbolt General] cavillis:
lucky! I'm too far in to return mine.

I feel scammed. this phone is almost useless with this battery life.
[Thunderbolt General] WorldOfJohnboy:
This thread has been the source of my entertainment for the day. Thanks to the OP for the amazing post and especially to all of you for your awesome responses!
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Have fun with your iPhone cause we just got gingerbread *****!
[Thunderbolt General] thegeebo:
Thunderbolt is my first smartphone and I love it! Suffered from random reboots with the leaked RUU running Das BAMF, so I returned it for another. Now I am running super smooth with great battery life on the newest BAMF with LeanKernel and custom undervolt. I also loved the Adrynalyne kernel, can't really go wrong with the BAMF team.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mart360:
With all the roms that are released, i wonder why we there is always in 90% of roms a double clock?

You have the really useful large clock on the main screen, and then the tiny little clock in the upper right.

Why have two?,

I cant see the point of the little one?, its difficult to see.

Surley this is a prime candidate to lose on a new rom :)

anyone else think the same

Mart
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richard2311:
you can remove the big one.....

can not have to many clocks :D

you can almost customize any rom to your tasting

What this is = Watch here

1: Decompile framework-res.apk using something like apk manager

2: Edit the file \res\values\bools.xml

3: Change value of bool name='config_animateScreenLights' from 'true' to 'false'

4: Compile framework-res.apk

5: Push new framework-res.apk to your phone with root explorer or adb push.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How to change the statusbar color:

1: Decompile SystemUI.apk

2: Edit the file \smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\Clock.smali

3: Search for the line with ->setTextColor comment it and the line above out with a # infront of the two lines.

4: Compile the SystemUI.apk

7: Compile framework-res.apk

8: Profit More.

These guides will work with about any 2.3 rom out. Thanks to various sources for help on finding these..

(Will add more to this later)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cenwesi:
do you have the compiled version of the CRT TV effect?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tweezit:
I will post a version later as the one I got is tweaked and would more and likely cause you guys bootloops.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dubntz:
I decompiled framework but I don't have a values folder in res. Am I missing something? Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c19932:
are you sure you "decompiled"? or just extracted?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dubntz:
I used APK Manager. Does that not decompile it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tweezit:
Going to update my guide so people know to decompile and not extract :)

if you used the decompile option it should have.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dubntz:
Yeah, I just extracted and did not decompile it. Now that I did it right I see the file. Thanks for the help! Much appreciated!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
I'm a little curious. Chris mentioned they left the screen-off animation disabled because of issues they were having. Have you experienced any issues at all?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] taylorhome11:
What would you suggest to look into if the setting is already set to false?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rizzxx7:
Have you got this to work for Cm7 yet?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Thanks! Now I gotta reflash 2.3 so I can try to get the status bar vanilla.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tweezit:
Yes on some roms you will get wake lag bad & others it will work fine.. On the 2.3 leak it will go to a black screen for a while. (that's due to 2.2.2 drivers though from what I can tell.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mastermindx85:
Have you got it to work on cm7?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LeoMar75:
Is it possible to clarify what framework-res.apk is referred this tutorial?

I read these posts and seems like it has not mentioned so far. However, in my case (i am running MoDaCo Fr16 CR) after decompiling framework-res.apk i cannot see that config inside res->values->bool.xml.

Maybe i'm missing something :confused:

Thanks in advance.

name="config_annoy_dianne"

lol, just thought that was amusing. let's not annoy dianne.

anyways,trying this now on bionix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
i'm no expert at decompiling etc. just figured it out today lol. i'm pretty positive i did it correctly using apktool. however, after copying the compiled apk back to phone, it just hangs at a black screen on reboot. maybe i did it right and it's just not compatible with bionix? i did read on the apktool site that it won't be signed after recompiling. is this why it won't work? anybody successful here?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] drewtang:
Bionix? For the g2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
shhhh, it's a secret.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] drewtang:
Ahhhhhhh I WANTS IT.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
i pm'ed you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LeoMar75:
You went in a bootloop for the following reason.

Once you got the unsignedframework.zip inside the place-apk-here-for-modding folder, you have to do a little trick in order to get it working...

Unzip all the content of the "unsignedframework-res.apk". You should have 5 objects (3 folders, 2 files).

Zip these files with Winrar/Winzip (whatever) but you must choose "No compression (store)" method to zip it.

Rename this zip into "framework-res.apk".

Put it into an update.zip and it should be OK to flash trough the recovery mode.

That's it! :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Having some trouble... I copied framework-res and systemui to the root folder of apktool but when i try and decompile either of them with "apktool d systemui.apk out" it returns the input file was not found or was not readable. First time doing this so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LeoMar75:
My advices is to use apk_manager. It is pretty much simple to use and the script is very complete you will find everythings you need.

What you need to do is just to drag you framework-res.apk inside this folder: place-apk-here-for-modding, from the script select option 9 in order to decompile the framework. The decompiled framework will be stored inside project folder.

At this point make whatever modification to your xmls file. Now just Compile the framework by selecting option 11 from the script.

You will be asked if this is a system apk just answer YES, and then answer YES to the second question as well.

At this point a keep folder will be created inside apk_manager, folow the instructions belove.

Once you have done it, the script will continue to work and the results will be places inside place-apk-here-for-modding folder.

Once you got the unsignedframework.zip inside the place-apk-here-for-modding folder, you have to do a little trick in order to get it working...

Unzip all the content of the "unsignedframework-res.apk". You should have 5 objects (3 folders, 2 files).

Sorry about my bad english i hope it can help! :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Cool, Ill give that a shot now. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tweezit:
Guy I been playing with this for a bit now I will say this has been pretty unstable for our G2X as of right now so I would suggest this not be used at this time.

It will cause black screens and severe lock screen lag.

Once i find this to be more stable i will surely let you guys know :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] colingpt:
I even have done whatever you say, but what is "put it into an update.zip"? I need to creat one? I "put it" into the recovery update.zip, but it doesn't work trough the recovery mode.

May I copy it into the famework file to rewrite it derectly?

Hope for you answer!

sorry to bump into this thread after almost few weeks of silence.

i have a question about my phone (xperia mini pro 2011) what should i do if the value of my bools.xml bool name='config_animateScreenLights' is already false?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
First of all thanks for this awesome trick. Second of all I am using Gn2 will it work with my device? And lastly do I need to just decompile and recompile or I have to sign the apk as well? Waiting for ur response:eek::eek::eek:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
K so got server boot loop but recovered from that can some still tell me how can I get this working for note2
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tweezit:
I have not looked into the Note2 framework to see what all would need to be done to get this to work as I don't have a note 2.

I am sure if you make this request in that forum someone would be willing to help and if that don't work I can look into it later for you I am just really busy right now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
This effect is unsupported in xposed's tweak box module.... not many have done this or I guess no 1 has done this for note2......if u want I can attach note2's framework.apk here

[Eee Pad Transformer General] thepctech:
So my 16gb Asus Transformer has a very strange problem. I have not seen it mentioned anywhere. When I plug my unit into the supplied charger there is NO indication on the device that it is charging. It takes about 10 hours to fully charge.

Here is the really strange part... When I put the device into the keyboard dock, I get a charge symbol on the battery and it says charging. To make things even more strange the cable and wall wart provided with the tablet quick charges the keyboard dock, light is red then turns green when fully charged (no longer then 2 hours so far).

How could the charger charge the dock no problem but not charge the unit itself? My thoughts were that the dock may seat farther into the tablet then the cord does so I took a small file and took off a little of the plastic on the eee pad connector side, that did not help at all. Any ideas?

I have flashed the latest software update, and I have done a "Factory Data Reset" and it will still not "quick charge" from the supplied charger, only from the dock.

ThePCTech
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sj408:
I got the same problem,i don't have the dock.I see a hole next to the camera but when i charge it there is no light,WTF
[Eee Pad Transformer General] UKseagull:
I must admit that I expected to see a charging light on the pad itself, I think the hole you mention may be the light sensor.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr.Clark:
When I use the official charger, I get a lightning bolt symbol and it charges fairly quickly. When I used my Kindle charger or an HTC one and plugged the USB into them, I had no indication it was charging and it was really REALLY slow...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] atxer:
The ASUS charger is rated @ 15V 1.2A. Most USB chargers are 5V. USB itself is rated @ 5V. So I donno how it can use 15V via USB. I tried several different chargers with much higher amperage but no luck at all. Quite strange I must say.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thepctech:
Let me clarify, The ASUS Eee Pad has no charging lite on the unit itself. The only indication is in the taskbar on Android 3.0.1. The battery will change from a green battery symbol to a green battery symbol with a lightning bolt on it when it is "Quick Charging".

There are two ways that the device charges, the first is a quick charge (with lightning bolt on batt. symbol), the second is a slower trickle charge (no indication). A quick charge should take about 2 - 3 hours to fully charge. The trickle charge will take up to 12hrs. The ONLY two ways to get a "Quick Charge" is 1. To use the provided charger (came with the unit), and 2. Is to put it in the dock. A trickle charge can be done with ANY other USB port (ie. laptop, desktop, iPod AC adapter, ect.).

My ASUS Eee Pad Transformer will ONLY "Quick Charge" with the dock. The cable provided with the unit will NOT "Quick Charge" my device.

Anyone else have this? If so do you have a fix?

ThePCTech
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thepctech:
FIXED!

Ok, so here is the deal...

I ordered a 32gb version and I'm givving the 16 version to my wife. I tried the new plug in the old tablet and the same thing happened. So I thought it MUST be the tablet and NOT the charger as I thought it was.

Looking into the bottom of the tablet I noticed a pin that looked like it was bent. If you look into the socket with the screen facing up. The 4th or 5th pin was bent up and not sitting in the track like it should have been. I compaired this to the new 32gb version. I used a needle to gently move it into place and tried again and it charged as it should with both cables. Newegg offered to replace the unit, but everything else works great on it and, now it chages just fine. I'll just keep it.

ThePCTech

If anyone else is having a problem take a look into the socket of the tablet, it could be a quick fix.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stevrodriguez:
i fixed my charging problem by doing a factory reset.........wow...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ginja ninja:
Same problem

I have the exact same problem, but mine didn't start until I applied an update from asus.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jaredls:
I think I may have *had* the same problem. I returned my transformer to sears after it would not charge. After my return a clearance sticker was placed on it and now after reading this thread I am considering repurchasing the transformer and getting a new adapter. But I am concerned that it may be something wrong with the tablet itself. This thread leads me to conclude it is the former. But what do you think?

I was not able to charge through the adapter - however, when connected through the USB cord my laptop did recognize it. I did not leave it connected for longer than 10minutes -I guess if i left it in for 12hrs plus I would have a conclusive answer - but to late for that now..

I got the tablet today -it had 5% battery and after trying three outlets it shutdown- it would restart and not get past the homescreen (which had the time and stated to connect the charger and the lock) it would then shutdown.

In the 20 minutes I was able to use my transformer it worked great:o
[Eee Pad Transformer General] transformerfan:
The "hole" next to the camera is the light sensor.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
Your unit is working correctly. There is no charging indicator on the tablet only on the dock. The tablet show charge status via software in the lower right corner of the display or in setup which will show percentage.

When you connect the unit to the dock, the tablet is charged via the batteries in the dock. The goal is to ensure that tablet is as charged as possible so you can undock and go knowing the tablet is charged. The charging from the dock to the tablet will only occur if the tablet is below 97%. The indicator light on the dock only refers to the charge status of the battery on the dock, not the tablet.

Someone referenced the little light on the front next to the camera, that is not a light. It is an ambient light sensor for the tablet.

The colors for the charge light indicator on the dock are documented in the manual. As I remember it they are <10% quickly flashing orange, 10-50% slowly flashing orange, 50-95% orange, 95%+ green.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] browngeek:
I am also having charging problems with my Transformer.

Everything seems to work fine when I used the supplied charger and the USB plug, both with dock and with just the transformer itself.

However I'm presently away and only took the USB cable with me. I've plugged the USB cable into my travel multiplug, which has a usb slot as well and I'm getting no charge at all, either on the dock or the transformer itself. Also the battery is showing that it is actually draining, even while connected to the multiplug. I've also tried connecting both the dock and the transformer to my juicepack (rated at 3.7V, 4,800mAh), but no luck with that as well.

Anyone else had these problems?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mortis2600:
The Transformer will only charge by USB using the supplied wall adapter. Not sure why that is, but that's been my experience.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kazior:
my problem too.. I got mine yesterday and updated the software straight away. it charged all night and charging worked on both the pad itself and the keyboard.

today it doeasnt..

the cable and the sockets are fine (my pc sees it and did some file transfers) so hardware seems ok. the charger gets quite hot though. does anybody experience the same? maybe its the charger? I wonder if factory reset would help...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
the wall plug that came with the TF is rated for 5V-15V, 2-12A. This is a lot higher than normal USB, which is 5V,1A max. When you plug it into a normal USB jack, you are only in trickle charge mode, and i think it's only with the screen off.
[Dell Streak 7] solidsnake66:
I rooted my new Dell Streak 7 Wifi (purchased straight from dell) using SuperOneClick without issue. I've been using SetCPU to manage clock speeds and save some battery and also went through and removed a bunch of the stock apps. I was looking at loading DJ_Steve's StreakDroid7 v1.3 (GPU edition) but had a couple questions before taking the plunge.

First off is this ROM compatible with the Dell Streak 7 WIFI or only the 4g version?

Also I'm use to the Galaxy S line of phones and always have ODIN ready to go with stock image files in case I screw anything up. I saw the post for how to use NVFlash to restore the Dell Streak 7 but it looks like the files are for the the T-Mobile Streak 7. Can I use these on the Streak 7 WIFI to get it back to stock or will this not work the way I'm thinking?

I've been searching the forums for a while now and haven't found a definite answer so far and don't want to move forward without knowing, so any info on this would be greatly appreciated!
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
I don't know if it'll work on the WiFi model, but it probably will. Do a backup and try it out; let us know how it goes. Also, you can enable RIL on StreakDroid7 and stay as a WiFi tab.

Off topic- how's battery life for you? Cell standby eats up a lot of my cycles, so I'm wondering what life is like with WiFi only.
[Dell Streak 7] solidsnake66:
Battery lasts a long time in standby, but when using the tablet to watch video's or playing games (I love playing ScummVM games on this thing!) It tends to drain pretty quick though.

What is the best method to backpack the device so I can get back to stock if I need to after flashing streakdroid7?
[Dell Streak 7] vmcampos982:
which version of SuperOneClick did you use to root your Dell Streak 7? I tried it seems all of the versions and it didnt work. My dell streak is 2.2.2 build 15420

So to backup your stock rom (I have gone back to stock for now) I used Clockwork Recovery tool. Here is the step-by-step I used to load Clockwork Recovery Tool and backup my stock rom

w w w. streaksmart. com /2011/03/how-to-get-rooted-android-222-update-on-your-dell-streak-7. html (fix the spacing as I can put up links yet in the forum)

Hope this helps
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
I used SuperOneClick v 1.9, but I had to go find an old, RageAgainstTheCage exploit for it (psneuter wouldn't work). Give it a shot.
[Dell Streak 7] solidsnake66:
I used SuperOneClick v1.9.1 on mine. My Dell Streak 7 is the WIFI only version straight from Dell and is running 2.2.2 but the build on mine shows 15799.

I knew how to use the backup in Clockwork recovery. I was more wondering if there was something like ODIN for the Streak 7 where I could just take some stock image files and just overwrite the whole system to an out of the box state.

I've created a backup now and I'll be testing out StreakDroid7 v1.3 shortly. Thanks for the info!
[Dell Streak 7] solidsnake66:
So far so good on StreakDroid7. It's fast at stock speed and stable so far. I'm going to try OCing in a bit.

One thing I noticed is qik won't load and tries to update but fails saying to update from the market, but when I go to update from market qik doesn't show up (I'm assuming this was packaged with the t-mobile version). Is there any way I can update this manually?
[Dell Streak 7] solidsnake66:
Well it runs great, even when overclocked to 1.6ghz except for the artifacts. Even at 1.05ghz they are apparent. What's strange though is the artifacts are only showing in the portrait orientation. When I have the tablet in its landscape orientation I don't see any artifacts.

Any idea why this is? I would have expected the artifacts to be apparent in both orientations.
