Sorry for your losses. I lost my father to liver cancer at 16.

Unlike you, I am not resigned to it. And I am unwillingly to not know more. If there is shown a high correlation of a certain behavior or substance that causes an early death, then I will alter my behavior or avoid that substance. That is my choice. It is your choice not to do so.

It should not be a choice that we don't have that information.

That is merely my point.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
But you're missing what I'm trying to tell you.

Did you read the list that I composed a few posts ago about what is known to cause cancer?

It's only about 15 items off the top of my head, there's another 6 or 7000 more I could list.

Here it is again:

So I again ask, what good does it do?

What on that list can you avoid? Can't avoid the sun, can't avoid food, can't avoid cosmic background radiation.

Life, literally, causes cancer.

Let's worry about treatments and cures and spend all this money on THOSE THINGS because you cannot avoid life.

I don't come to your conclusion at all. That is a very broad brush. Fatalism does not complement me well.

Some studies may be flawed. There may be conflicted results. That happens, particularly more so in today's environment. Your beef seems to be with those. Sun vs no sun. Fat vs no fat, etc. We are all aware of those. Knowledge isn't an efficient process.

But, I reject that we shouldn't study those things. The default position for a free society is to bring on the information. And let us choose what to do with it.

At least, that is my humble opinion. And, I pray, the opinion of significant amount of others.

I suspect you must have the last word... so go right ahead. I am tired of repeating myself.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
First you accuse me of being a know it all then you accuse me of this?

Do you discuss at all man or just try to knock those that have a different opinion than you?

I asked a simple question that has yet to be answered:
[EVO 4G General] Zabalba:
To answer simply: Control.

A lot of discoveries are made that have no relation with the original investigation / experiment.

As the cliche goes: Knowledge is power.

Kinda glad I'm here able to type on a computer instead of hunting on the savanna and having a **** life expectancy.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
You're right, discoveries are generally made with no relation to the original investigation.

But what does this discovery here do?

One minute cell phones don't cause cancer, then they spend another billion dollars and find out they might.

But what did that help us find? Nothing.

Some people smoke 80 years and never get lung cancer, others smoke a cigarette twice and get lung cancer. Some never even smoke and get lung cancer.

I think the whole point is that it's 90% genetics, like everything else.

It doesn't do any good besides give you a quick entertaining news report on the latest findings that contradict the last findings.
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
I smell lawsuits
[EVO 4G General] Zabalba:
It depends on who you ask. There was no major health organization who said cell phones posed no risk, until now. Why is that? Did it take time to show findings. Was the process of investigation / experiment delayed? Etc.

It also depends on who said there was no danger. And why they said it was not.

I do agree genetics plays some role in the over all base, but not the whole picture. Genes change in the face of a new environment. Some would argue we are simply a vehicle for genetic information. Nothing more.

[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
I agree. Although I do believe that radiation from phones is indeed a contributor to cancer (This was actually proven years ago, I have no clue why the media is just now making it such a big deal) you'd have to talk on your phone a lot for prolonged periods of time to actually be harmed and like someone else mentioned, genetics is also a big contributor...

Did you guys know that the cure for cancer is actually found in most fruit seeds?

People who read these forums are probably less likely to get brain cancer because we aren't holding our phones up to our ear: we're busy rooting them and running benchmarks or watching Netflix movies. :D My phone is almost never against my ear.

Second, "they" will probably do another study that says cell phone use reduces the risk of Alzheimers by 98% and you're more likely to get that than cancer. Did you see the latest study that says salt is good for you (in quantities much higher than previously thought at least)... particularly the heart! You can't win... so I say f-it and enjoy life. Stress from reading these friggin articles will give you cancer before your cell phone!

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
I have some new work I've started that has not previously been posted. I'm going for a more blue flavor, as I really don't care for the orange highlights that android seems to favor

All of the green aosp icons in the status bar have been made blue, including my aosp battery with percent. All of the system related (and any apps that use system resources) highlight/pressed colors have been changed. Also, if you have the overscroll effect mod, this has new colors to match. I didn't do much in the way of icon theming as I'm kinda liking the subdued stock ones for the moment, but I anticipate I'll do more with that as time goes on....I'll look for feedback on that. There's not much a screenshot can tell you as the changes are pretty subtle, but here's one that at least shows the battery and wifi indicators. This is for KE7 only.

sgs2-blue.zip

Inside the zip are 3 files: framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and SystemUI.apk. Push framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk to /system/framework/ and SystemUI.apk to /system/app/

Black background statusbar

Both of these have solid black statusbar backgrounds but have different pull-down handles. The first file has the same handle as the above file:

download==>SystemUI.apk

The second looks like this:

hshah was kind enough to provide this screenshot:

download==>SystemUI.apk

As soon as an official custom recovery is available, I'll put all these in zips you can just flash.

Get in there pendo! Nice to see you here mate!

edit : Btw we have clockwork recovery now, I don't suppose you can

give me a blank flashable zip for cwm 3.x that I can put these in to flash.

I also need the zip to make a theme.

Another quick question do these work with odexed stock roms? I'm on ke7

Stock rooted. Thats the only thing I'm abit iffy about before I start flashing away.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
:) Gonna also make a thread for my markets here, too I think.....there's a few that are newer to android with this phone and haven't seen those yet.

I didn't know there was an official cwm out yet. I skimmed through earlier, but didn't notice. I'll have to look at it to get the proper mount commands.

Pretty much any 'ol script will "work" but without the proper mount line, you would have to manually mount /system (under mounts and storage) in order for the flash to apply.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Hrti:
Pendo: Does the "AOSP battery/w percent (battery only)" only change the battery icon, or also the other status bar icons?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonata:
tks mate ... ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
The battery only files only change that from the stock firmware.

You can can run a deodexed apk in an otherwise odexed rom. Framework-res.apk does not have an associated odex file, and neither does twframework-res.apk. But the other apk's do have an associated odex file. Deodexing basically is repackaging the apk with the dex file inside. You just need to make sure that you either rename or remove SystemUI.odex when trying my SystemUI.apk ;)

There is some debate as to whether an odexed rom is faster/slower than deodexed with *some* anecdotal evidence supporting either one. Honestly I'm not real up to speed with that debate. Personal opinion is that it's probably close either way, and with this device in particular I doubt one would notice any difference at all.

Ah yes....the white bar, forgot about that. This is actually caused by the white background of the app. There are other apk's that will cause this too. Depending on the apk and if it's got a title bar this can look odd. I'm personally not a huge fan of transparent statusbar's (or transparencies in general, with the exception of my market :)) but it's always been a frequently requested item. I will add additional downloads that have just a solid black statusbar.

As far as removing the statusbar pull-down handle, I actually don't think I've ever seen it like that. Lol, I've just always put a handle on it. Are you using KE2 or KE7? I'll make whichever one you're using without a handle :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
@hshah,

:o Thanks. Could you try this SystemUI? It's for the blue theme,

SystemUI.apk
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
OK, VillainRom says he's resigned the entire rom, so that likely is the problem. He deodexes his rom so you won't find any SystemUI.odex. That file I posted was from the stock, odexed firmware that og had originally given me. Try the attached file named "SystemUI-VRsig.apk" but make sure you rename the file to just SystemUI.apk.

I'll try to mod it for you

Statusbar disappearing means that SystemUI is either FC or not even being recognized by your rom. Do you get an FC notification? If so could you post a pastebin of the logcat?

It's highly unlikely that they've added some sort of "control" to statusbar...probably a signature mismatch. I doubt there's any code differences, since all the roms out there are just using the samsung base rom (except cyanogen)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Lol...I tried keka, too. When is the first time you remember being able to do this? I'm just wondering if it could've been something that was in a system update over the last several months. I gave up on my search for a program that would do it last fall I think.

One thing I've noticed with BetterZip is that you can't open 2 apk's to copy signatures/manifest from one to the other. Now, if I open the apk that I want to copy FROM with a different program (tried with Stuffit) and then drag/drop META-INF/manifest to the apk that's opened with BetterZip it works. Lol...I'm so picky :p
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Lol you are picky! That function is something I also would like. I don't like dragging to desktop then into another apk.

As for keka it worked for me when I had update 10.5 I think. That was when I first used it. Now I am at 10.7. It could have very well been a system update type deal but when I got the Mac it came with Mac OS x 10.4.

The reason I tried keka at all was to get an updated version of 7z binary for the Mac. Before betterzip updated recently it had an old version of 7z, like 7.10 or something. Keka had version 9.04. I wanted 7z for my android-utility. I use it instead of unzip aand zip for no particular reason but I am more familiar with the 7z commands. In android-utility during the decompile process the user is prompted if he or she would like to extract the Meta INF from the original apk. This step is helpful to me :-)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
I take back what I said...it doesn't work even with another zip utility :-/

Lol...when I first started tinkering with android, I would fire up windows just to use 7zip. It does suck that we don't have any applications that work like it does (I really like 7zip for windows, simple and clean) But now with my renewed faith, I believe this functionality could be added. Maybe we should write the dev...

10.7 huh? I'm looking forward to trying it out. Supposed to be in the Mac app store Thursday.

@Pendo : request ....

Hi mate,

if you have time, asking you a BIG pleasure for me :

upload this systemUI.apk (from Leomar rom KG2), can you edit for to have transparent statusbar ?

for information, I see that there is also the file system systemUI.odex ... nedd I delete this file for to have transparent ?

many tks in advance ... :)

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] warmaster91:
Hi Every one,

Sorry for my english... (i'm french)

Does this system UI work with an "original XXKG2" ? not a custom rom.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Here you go!

framework-res.apk
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Well, I actually need the odex files as well, because there's some edits to code in there. But, in this case I'm reasonably certain that I can reuse one of the dex files I have here.

You do have to delete the odex though when using my apk, because I did not re-odex it after the mod. Basically the dex is inside the apk now.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Can't remember for sure, but I don't think I've done any for KG2. Even so, there's a chance that it would work. If you want to try, *please* be sure to back up the original files so you can replace if needed. Also, the stock rom is odexed, so you have to make sure to remove SystemUI.odex in your rom, too.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonata:
tks mate :D tks so much !!!

if need upload the odex file ....

so, you think that with your modded systemUI (overwrite with rootexplorer) I have the trasparent statusbar...

right ?

tks again

(renamed the odex file with apk for upload)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ql4y3r:
Pendo, when come this: AOSP battery/w percent (battery only) for KG2???? I miss it:)

Here is the KG2 odexed framework-res.apk if you need: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5525279/framework-res.apk
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Just a little terminology correction...there's no such thing as an odexed framework-res. An odex file would have 2 parts e.g. example.odex, and example.apk. Then if you deodex you would only have example.apk, in which the dex file is inside. The reason you will never see an odexed framework-res is that there's not a dex file in framework-res. Not trying to harp on you or anything, just a little correction for when you talk about it in the future. :)

Now, as far as your request.....hopefully you don't mind too much but I did put something "extra" in there. I changed the progressbar_indeterminate as well. It's based off the one I had just introduced before the market upgraded. The colors are very similar to what you had, but it should be a LOT smoother.

framework-res.apk
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Did you try the one that I posted previously? Please try it first and if it's not working, then I can try again using this odex.

Make sure that you delete the odex file on your phone when you try mine.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonata:
ok,

sorry .. understand that you need the odex ...

:o

tks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ql4y3r:
No problem, you're right completely:)

The AOSP battery/w percent work. Thanks mate. But the "extra" is an unusual:D

One more request: can you restore the progressbar_indeterminate to the original? I tried to replace, but always FC. . . Pls. Thx.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonata:
replace the systemUI.apk (deleted the odex file) but doesn't work ... :o
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
lol....no problem. I had been playing with it a little bit lately and wanted an opinion. I probably should've loaded it on my phone first to see how it turned out :o

framework-res.apk
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
OK...I rebuilt it but deodexed using your file. Hopefully it's working for you now.

Once again, make sure you remove the odex file with this.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ql4y3r:
This is the final? Just because, i replace it, but no change:)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
That file has the same 4 progressbar_indeterminate png's that was in the one you originally linked to.

The one I made had similar colors, but looked a bit different and had 24 png's for the animation.

edit:

didn't see your picture before. NO, that is not how it's supposed to look, lol. Those are my png's though. Something didn't go right on replacing it, cause that last file has the originals....open it for yourself and see.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ql4y3r:
I do not even notice that the old and the new progressbar the same shape/ form. Thank you very much for the help:) Have a nice day pendo.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Cool...I definitely messed up that progressbar. Got in a hurry and forgot to keep one thing into consideration. I'm fixing it right now. :o

Edit:

Here's what it was supposed to (and does) look like now:
