Yeah, the battery issue has always been a pain. Though, it surely is better now than the 1 hour(and less) run time we had when this project first started! Some report a whole 8 hours, I have yet to see it but not saying that it couldn't happen. I suppose I could turn off the extra services such as sync and weather updates but then I'd be running a similar setup as winmo... :p ;) :D

What everyone has to realize that with added availability, comes added problems. Especially if you aren't usually running google sync and other background data services 24/7 while in winmo! :)

Keeping in mind, I usually get a little longer(maybe 12 hours?) run time while in winmo. With data running in the background 24/7, a couple dozen txts and an hour at the most of talking per day. So, I remain unconvinced it isn't our devices that is the actual problem... :rolleyes:

[General Questions and Answers] Fihlvein:
Is there a way in Android 2.3.4 to have one directory where you put all your custom music into, and the content is shown in each phone ringtone, notification and alarm menus?

Normally you would have to create the following three folders:

/sdcard/Ringtones

/sdcard/Notifications

/sdcard/Alarms

...and this way the music will appear in respective menus. But since I have my music collection in one directory, I want the content to be shown in each of the phone music menus (ringtones, notifications & alarms) without copying the same music collection to three different folders. That's a waste of space because I can use same music tune as a ringtone, but also for alarm clock and for calendar, so why should I copy the music file in three different folders?

So I just wanted to know if there is a one special folder I can copy my music, and they would appear in all of the three type of functions?
[General Questions and Answers] jimyy:
you can do folders like this

/sdcard/audio/ringtones

/sdcard/audio/notification

/sdcard/audio/alarms

Hi guys,

Can someone point to me a harmless method to backup the STL5/efs to stl5.rfs. I have seen some ppl using DD command but it bricks the phone up. I have a galaxy S5660 with froyo 2.2 on it.

Any help plz???

Has anyone tried porting the Android 3.1 system.img from the SDK to the A500 yet?
[Acer Iconia A500] dhruvmp:
I want to say it was sp3dev that tried flashing the xoom 3.1 images and ended up bricking his tablet, so note sure if anyone has tried it again.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr1337:
I'm thinking of having a gom but I only just got this tablet today. Is there a recovery ROM image that I can use to reflash the tablet in case of brickage?
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
No recovery yet as the bootloader is still locked.

Acer will issue an official update in the next couple of weeks, so why risk it? There's no rush.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr1337:

I actually would like a clean system.img without the Acer bloatware too.

[Acer Iconia A500] sp3dev:
:facepalm:

Me? No, it was not me. Meh, i don't care for ****roid and the only thing i want to flash is a proper distro like ubuntu or fedora.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr1337:
Would be interesting to see what the logcat dump produced to try and work out the incompatibilities.
[Acer Iconia A500] das7771:
+1 on that...if acer sticks to a June time frame of getting 3.1 to us then it would be a better deal...thats just around the corner and there will be less bugs getting an update (at least i hope so) from the maufacturer then trying to port it from a different device. compared to the g-tab that i had...this thing runs pretty dam good with stock rooted Rom and bloatwate removed...once we get official 3.1 update with mouse and additional peripheral support...then thats gonna make that much sweeter.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bloodbreed:
One thing to think before

Same for me once I removed those crap apps from Acer.I guess Acer will never learn about putting their own apps to blingbling the whole tablet. I don't need slow beautiful tablet I need an overboosted one :-) They build slow PCs, they build slow laptops, slow tablets and I guess slow mobiles phones too and once you make a clean instal on it, oooohhhhh wonder its works like a rocket ------->>>>>>>>>

I guess it s marketing ... selling slow things so that people buy a new one earlier.

And then the other trouble that I m expecting to come......

I m not sure about it but in some threads they telling that if some apps are missing on

our tablet update won't work.

Ok, we know how to revert back to original Acer tablet and do the update to remove again those crap apps again wth....????

Atleast it s not nessecary to hack Acer laptop and PC to instal windows again. :-)

What we need is bootloader from Acer or from a Dev if Acer won't, updates are secondary.

I don t trust them since they could make updates to prevent installing custom roms like

Apple with their never ending we need to block jailbreaking attempts :-)

So be careful about those updates........

:rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] Lectruck:
3.1 original

I would wait for 3.1, the problems of getting it from another tab would not be worth it.

It should be here hopefully this week sometime!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] gmpdmd:
It has been reported that if your device was EVER rooted you wont have access to Google movies on market...even after factory reset/flashing stock rom...fyi this was on xoom. Not sure how much truth there is to this, but I'm not chancing it.
[Acer Iconia A500] strikethree:
Being fearful is the safer option... but you really should think this through clearly. How would they know if your tablet has EVER been rooted? Do they store the information on their servers? If so, what about when someone buys your tablet second hand? Are they denied from the movie market forever? Is the tablet forever "poisoned"?

The above scenario is the only way they could know as all traces of being rooted can easily be removed from the tablet itself... that is the nature of having root after all; total control.

Again, if you are fearful or uncertain, do not do anything to your tablet. Please do not spread your fear amongst others though because someone will soon be quoting you and claiming that "they" can tell if your tablet has ever been rooted. As you have already said, " It has been reported that...". Reported by whom? There is no answer. Did they verify the mechanism that testifies that the tablet has EVER been rooted? There is no answer.

It is fine to ask a question but as soon as you say, "it has been reported", then you are spreading fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Bad newbie. No cookie for you.

Post is on Droid Life...what I consider a reputable source. I cant post links yet. Go to site and search for "xoom google movies" Its second post down. I'm no noob...rooted many phones and tabs...just new too posting here. Sorry I did not provide link initially:)
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
Since Google Movies is about the most expensive way of watching video currently available, I'm not at all concerned over their decision to block rooted devices.
[Acer Iconia A500] BigBadBuddy:
I've wondered this before about cell phones and tablets. I figured it would be more of a carrier thing, wanting to keep everyone in check on device warranties. The capability is certainly there on a carrier based device to simply track the sw version (mods) and root status. I figured it would come up at some point when there was a compelling enough reason for someone to make decisions based on that info. Hopefully it will be limited to content providers, such as in this case. I don't know that there is a need for fear and panic, just more for us all to think about before rooting. I thought about this before rooting my first phone, but also decided that rooting was a better way to avoid bloatware, etc. Until they cut my service for rooting, I'll always seek a better experience on my phone or tablet. Apparently there has been no compelling business reason for them to do that as of yet. Movie licensing is understandable, I'm 100% behind copyright protections. Just one more consideration before rooting a tablet.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shikage:
I recently purchased both a Xoom Tablet and the Xperia Play phone. With the phone I received the Media Go media management software which I am really loving as a replacement to iTunes. One thing I have always really liked about iTunes was the way it stored and sorted video files, being able to separate them into Movies, TV Shows, Video Clips and then sort shows down into Series and Season as well. With Media Go I am able to do this as well and I can easily sync the video files onto my Xoom Tablet right from Media Go.

My question is, are there any video player/management apps for Xoom which would carry this organization over as well? Something that would separate Movies from TV Shows and then let me select a given TV Show and see Season and Episode numbers as well or have subfolders for each season?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Lovetz:
Just go in to flashmode and flash desired firmware with Odin.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] seilent:
this theme isn't for froyo..

you need to reflash with odin or get framework-res.apk from other froyo..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] delroekid:
do a clean reflash... i would suggest GB...hhehhe.. i encountered that too wheni was still a froyo. i was in the right timing when the first GB was release/leaked. so i went ro GB instead of froyo. goodluck

minimal.zip is just icon in launcher..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] delroekid:
@seilent : i dont like the v3. because the progress bar is TOOO slim.. i like the v2 because the progress bar is a stripe.

i suggest to COLOR the NOTIFICATION icons (wifi, bt, gps, sound, AR) when it is enabled. a little of blue will do.

i went back to darkmiui v2.:(:(:(:(:cool::cool::cool:

It's hard to explain, really.. i'm not good at giving guide or tutorial :(

but, try this one, reverted back to original progressbar :)

It's have battery meter bug i think, but just wanna see if that's what you want with bigger progressbar ;)

if you like it then, i'll fix other bug..

it's sony sketch ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] shadow_empire1:
how do I get the fonts and the lockscreen installed...?

is it a launcherpro theme?

about the fonts, I use root tools..

there's sony sketch font there ;)

but I can include the font inside darkmiui_v8.zip if you want..

Lockscreen is automatically installed when you apply the theme :)

where is darkmiui_v8.zip? :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] seilent:
eh, sorry..

I mean v3 :D

weird, it should be changed..

did u use KPE or villainrom..?

try to flash honeygreen, see if lockscreen changed or not, then flash with darkmiui again.. ;)

or flash darkmiui_v1 then darkmiui_v3..

i really respect your effort and work, can you pleasee provide a theme not with grayish but with full black notification bar(as used in your honeygreen theme).:)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] shadow_empire1:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] TheAceGuy:
Lockscreen....

Hey can u give a tutorial or some link where u can learn how to change the lockscreen? ;);)

Actually i liked the lockscreen of the honeygreen theme but the colors and general ambience of the dark miui theme....so i was thinking whether somehow i can merge them....:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] seilent:
will do it here :)

1. open honeygreen using winrar, then manage to framework. open framework-res.apk. Go to /res/drawablemdpi

2. Do the same to dak miui..

3. drag file ic_jog_* (everything started from that) to dakmiui, just ok..ok.. and ok.. :D

done.. :)

you must be tricked by screen off widget, that's widget to turn off screen (with animation) :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] seilent:
v3.1 , v3.1_circlebat, v3.1_black added

Enjoy :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] anm8tor:
Very cool :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] TheAceGuy:
Can u tell me which softwares to use while doin this..?? Coz i know that u have to decode the framework-res.apk file, so will apktools work..?? And actually how to use it..?? Or is there any better software?

and also where to get that widget with animation....;):p:D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] seilent:
I just use winrar when replacing icons :D

no need other app.. ;)

market of course :D

that's just widget tu turn off sceen, but with little animation when turning off.. still nice though..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] TheAceGuy:
ok i got the animation screen off widget too....but its just a work-around to the original thing.....it fades the screen to black for some moment and then locks the screen....while the screen is faded it shows the animation....while in the real one the lock actually happens in the way a CRT TV shuts down........

anyways....i think people will have to settle with the next best thing......although why aren't they porting that to all the ROMs..???
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] TheAceGuy:
actually i was focusing on the part when u said "open the framework-res.apk" file.....how to do that...?? and also just to confirm....this is the way to make the dark_mui's lock screen as the honeygreen's...//is it not...??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] seilent:
Now, I want to go to bookstore. So I won't be online for a while :)

One of this theme has that animation. but I forget which one :p

v3.1_black maybe.. :D

double click > open with winrar :D

yes that's the way..

ic_jog_*.png is lockscreen button :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] TheAceGuy:
I did as u told me to....but after replacing the 4 png files that i basically need (ic_jog_dial_ -->sound_off, sound_on, unlock, vibrate_on ) i tried to recompile the apk and it gives me a long list of errors...:confused::confused:...i dont know what is it i m doind wrong...

i also used the automated version of apktool (http://www.miui-au.com/add-ons/xj-tools/) but that also showed me the same errors...can u help me..??:confused::confused::(:(:(:(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] seilent:
I said you didn't need to compile or decompile..

just copy the image from archive :D

as simple as copy paste ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] shadow_empire1:
cool, thx!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] seilent:
Feel free to report any kind of bug..

I'll fix if I can :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] TheAceGuy:
u mean apk's can be opened using 7-zip or winrar...??? That's news to me....:p

Thanx man.....finally got it to work.....initially applied a little more brain into it than it needed :p:p:p:p:p:p:p

Just another question though.....how do u revert back to the original theme again....will replacing the apk's in the app and the framework folders with the original ones do the trick..?? I think that should work....can u give me any confirmation on that..??

Also while repacking the folders into framework-res.apk which type of compression to use...??

Love u man.....:p:p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] ingbrzy:
Yes it will work....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] seilent:
Basically apk is .zip archive. so winzip, winrar, or 7zip would work (bui I prefer winrar).. :)

sure, just as ingbrzy says ;)

I use normal compression :)

but in some case I use "store" in some file. Because i believe it would speed up Ace little bit (decompressing fille use some CPU right ;))

I already have GF :p lol

it's because apktool sometime brighten some png..

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] delroekid:
hi seilent, maybe it is better to use minimal style lockscreen bottons like the honeygreen... i am usimg honeygreen right now because of that reason... i have tried your dark v3.1... looks good...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] downloadonlyaccount:
I'm not sure you mean the right thing. When the lock-slider reaches the unlock point, you can see that the symol is moved a lil bit to the bottom (about 1 pixel or so).
