[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
For now, ha ha....I know how it goes. Or at least I used to...I'm a little less fickle than I used to be. The biggest thing that's bugging me right now is the new market. I don't really care for the layout at all (looks too much like the new windows phones), and I don't really know what all I can do to change it. Might just kill the market updater app and roll with my old one :-/

The reason I make it like that is that we went through this phase a while back in the N1 section and the majority of folks preferred a slight tint over the completely transparent version. It helps for apps that have a white background to keep things partially legible. So I guess I just do it out of habit.

But as og says, it's very simple to change. It is a 9patch but since you're essentially erasing it, it doesn't matter that you'll break the 9patch by editing it w/o decompiling first. Just take 7zip or whatever zip manager you use and open the apk. Go to res/drawable-hdpi and you're looking for statusbar_background.9.png. Just open it with any image editing program, and erase/delete the image. Then save it as the same name and inject it back into the same directory. Then put the apk back on the phone as normal.

**A little note about injecting png's: Injecting into a zip manager does not work past the root level of a file IF you're using a Mac. I've tried every program I can find and they all do the same, so it must be a limitation of Macintosh. I've used 7zip on windows, and File Roller in Ubuntu and they work fine.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Hey pendo what do you mean by past the root level? I use betterzip on Mac and it works very well to add and remove png from any directory. Ignore it that is not what you're referring to. :-)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
i here you on the new market. I just mainly hate all the greys... but I think there is alot of potential there. I hope you try and do something:D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
I specifically remember trying that program (along with Stuffit, Keka, Springy, sArchiver, and WinZip Mac) but it didn't work. That said, I just tried it again and indeed it does seem to work! I will happily purchase this app, as well as recommend it to others.

Thank you very much for the recommendation.....you don't know how long I spent last summer trying to find something that would do that. I came to the conclusion that it was a limitation with HFS+ or something....

File doesn't work for me, using VillainRom 2.3.4, after putting it to system/app, the Bar FC'ed (its ok, then reboot, after this the bar at 2.3.3 was transparent) and after reboot the Bar is gone :(

(can't find a SystemUI.odex file)

And when i use my own SystemUI.apk with 7Zip to edit the background9.png there is no change as some posters some pages before said. Even when the bartexture is gone and there a reboot, the bar is black. AWDLauncher without Wallpaper-Hack (worked perfectly with 2.3.3) Dunno why :(

I think it will work, it´s a new KG systemUI.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salvatorep:
After following the various guides on how best to backup/flash/restore, I think I'm missing a step.

I use Titanium Backup to create backups prior to flashing, and then after applying a new ROM and selecting 'replace missing apps and data', I find myself left with quite a bit of re-setup to do. No mail accounts, preferences, et cetera are retained and I have to re-do everything after flashing.

Is there a step I'm missing or perhaps a different restore type?

I've read doing a restore of system data is bad; is that the case?

Thanks.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
Are you only backing up user apps or are you backing up all user apps + system data? If its the first one then you wouldnt be backing up mail account information and such.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salvatorep:
The latter, but I'm not restoring the system data. Are the cautions against doing that necessary?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
If you dont restore the data then you wont have any of the settings for the apps saved. I am not 100% sure about things like mail accounts being saved or not, I know that things like wireless network settings arent saved. Also widgets and things that you set up on your homescreen wont be saved either unless you use a launcher like Launcher Pro and backup your homescreen. There will be some additional setup needed if you flash a new ROM even with TB.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salvatorep:
Thanks you two.

I was able to restore mail. Everything was still backed up on titanium backup. I restored my apps and the data that went along with them. This didn't bring back mail though. If you go into backup/restore in titanium backup it lists all backed up items individually. Scroll down till you see E-mail Account settings. I clicked on this and restored it. this brought my mail accounts back. One problem was that if I went to settings/accounts and sync my microsoft outlook account was not showing up on there. The email was on my phone but wasn't listed in my accounts. My phone kept trying to sync contacts, calendar etc and it would always fail. I did have to delete this account and re-enter it into my phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zimphishmonger:
If you have more than one Gameloft game (which is easy when they are buy one get one at $2.99), you've probably run into the problem of not having enough space on your tiny 8GB internal SD. I personally have been fighting with ~200mbs free for the past few weeks and its been annoying me, so I decided I wanted to "fix" the problem, at least till Gameloft gets together and adds an option of where to download the app data.

My first idea was some sort of syslink or bind mount at boot between the Internal and External SD, but while I was researching this I ran into this "convertor" which modifies the apk file to install the game data to the external SD card.

I am still looking for a better solution that doesnt require EVERY apk to be modified, so if you good w/ scripts or can think of a way similar to my original idea, please let me know.

Check it out and leave your feedback

EDIT: Confirmed working on NOVA 2 and Shadow Guardian. You MUST copy all the game data to /_ExternalSD/GL/ (make sure to remove the "games" folder if it's there, all the data needs to be in the "GL" folder. Also, confirmed it only works on games purchased from Gameloft's website, not the Android market versions.

This is how your GL folder should look on your External SD if you run ls in terminal:

ls /sdcard/_ExternalSD/GL:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Eroc162:
having a hard time downloading that file. It isnt working for me. I need this ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zimphishmonger:
People w/ the sensation are screwed and r gonna need to create scripts to move stuff SD. I successfully patched all 4 of my Gameloft games and they are working fine. Just make sure you put them in the right folder (see OP). No issues downloading the one-click patcher, but I'll see if I can get another link.

Despite this working well, Id still like to figure out a way to syslink or bind mount the gameloft folders on Internal and external sd.

EDIT: Posted mirror link in OP. Enjoy!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vylle:
guys - im having a problem with Data but not sure if its different - any time i download the gameloft data via wifi to my 32GB SDCard - the game crashes after the gameloft logo and asks to download the data when you restart (even if the data is already there)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zimphishmonger:
Im not really sure where the save games are stored for Gameloft games. Glad to hear it works, but please let me know if you resolve this issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zimphishmonger:
I would double-check that the folders are set up properly. it is case sensitive, so be careful. I layout exactly how the folders should be arranged in the OP. Another thing u can check is have it download SOME of the game data, and go and find it. It may help you track down the issue, (like folders arrange incorrectly). Hope that helps!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vylle:
i tried to launch the program but it crashes after loading.. this is so frustrating.. i feel like going back to HTC (never had this level of problems)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zimphishmonger:
This has nothing to do w/ the manufacturer of your phone. We are essentially "hacking" these games to trick it into using the external SD. You would have this exact same issue, on say, the newly releases HTC Sensation (if not worse because of the lack of space on the Internal SD). Also, I just want to point out that I doubt this will work on "cracked" apks for Gameloft, so those may cause crashes as well.

Im not very fond of hacking each APK to work, as it will eventually cause issues, and this would best be solved by syslinking or bind mounting the two folders between the internal and external SD card. Unfortunately, I dont have enough background knowledge to write the script from scratch, as it requires some kernel modification, and would have to be unique to each phone.

Hi there.

Is there any chance to replace stock dialerpad icons on gingerbread with others of mine? I mean,is there a specific directory where I can have a go at replacing them with root explorer or am I supposed to mess up it all???

thanks in advance :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nedooo:
If you have deodexed rom, just drop attached png to System/app/ DialerTabActivity.apk / drawable-hdpi folder.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nemello:
thanks a lot nedoo,but maybe I just couldn't explain myself very well :rolleyes:

I mean,since I fancy "buuf theme" more than any other theme and since adw.buuf.theme can't buuf system icons,I'd like to change dialerpad icons just to pop up somethin' like this:

is that possible to do all by myself???:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nemello:
I'd like to change icons in system/app/DialerTabActivity.apk/res/drawable.hdpi can I simply replacle icons or I gotta modify xml file too??????
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] XGX5309:
You can drop in different images, yes... but don't expect it to decompile or recompile properly if you modify or replace the ".9" PNG's. To edit the ".9" PNG's properly, you have to decompile the normal framework/app, change the PNG and XML, then recompile. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nemello:
.9 png's??:confused:

for example,in drawable.hdpi folder I can see call_contacts_icon_normal.png,I'd like to change it with another one,can I do that???
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nedooo:
Yes if you are on deodexed ROM. .9.png is not normal png it is compiled png with dots (invisible when compiled, visible when decompiled)wich are used as guides for streaching graphics.

T gain all the elements you showed on that photo you need to modify Phone.apk,

framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk.

So do a beckup and experiment :D

That's not easy at all, more to say it's rather hard, but...

How did it happen? Answer

My Rom Manager stopped to work. But I have noticed it´s still there. Thinking I concluded it happens because I´ve downloaded and installed a lot of stuffs. So I did the backup and Rom Manager stills don´t appear. I wipe data/ factory reset, wipe cache partition and restore the backup one more time. Ok.

After I tried to reinstall cyanongenmod the system shows the message that I can´t install, updating and thing´s like that.

I know I did something newbie.

What did I try?

I tried to reinstall PD15IMG.zip and found all types of that image. The PD15 (stock) the system stopped the updating in the final. All the time it stops in the same moment! Really near to complete the updating. It pissed me off. :mad: I found another file (312 mb) that worked a lot of times, but it didn´t work for me.

My adb is working and I can manage a lot things using the computer. Actually, when I use PD15IMG.zip, after it´s stocked, I have to use Droid Explorer to bootloader in clockwork MOD recovery. So, I mount usb and manually move the PD15IMG.zip.

I´ve tried a lot of things and I can´t imagine how my phone still works, :'(

If someone help me, I invite to come to Brazil and stays in my house during the World Soccer Cup! ;)

Ok this was a big problems for me because i love testing out sifferent rom but also have like 9 different emaisl accounts on my phone (NOT GMAIL) but email accounts.

And everytime i would tryout a new rom and i would do a wipe and then have to Start from scratch with my email accouts.

So i did some messing around with my phone and foudn out how to make a complete backup of all my account please read carfully

(I AM NOT RESPONSIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES DOEN TO YOUR DEVICE)

Things Nedded

# 1. An Android Phone (Duhhhhhh)

# 2. A Rooted Phone (Must be rooted to do this)

# 3. Root Explorer

# 4. An SD Card with enough space to backup your accounts.

here is the procedure.

Before installing any new roms or just doing a wipe you must do the following to backup your accounts.

Open Root Explorer and browse to the following folder on your phone

data/data/com.android.email folder

in this folder should find the following folders

chache

database

files

lib

shared_prefs

now copy each folder and browse back into your sd card and paste them into a new folder on your SD card.

now your email setting are safe and you can wipe the data from your phone.

now once you have installed a new rom or did a master reset.

go into your email app and add 1 email account somthign simple like a gmail or aol etc....

install and run root explorer again,

browse to your SD card were you saved toye 5 email folders

copy them and then browse back to

data/data/com.android.email

make a new folder in the data/data/com.anroid.email folder

so now open the new created folder so you will be in data/data/com.android.email/new folder (or what ever you named the new folder)

now paste the 5 folders in this new folder

chache

database

files

lib

shared_prefs

now open each folder and copy all files inside 1 of the folders for instance data/data/com.android.email/new folder/database copy all files in this folder

now browse back to data/data/com.android.emal folder and open the database folder located here in data/data/com.android.email.

so now you will be in the following folder data/data/com.android.email/database

now paste your files in this folder. (Please Note you may ends up with 2 of the same files for instance) (webview.db & webview.db -copy) delete the webview.db file and keep the webview.db-copy file.

now rename the webview.db-copy file to webview.db and any additional file that may have the -COPY extension on it delete the orignal and rename the -COPY file as the original file name.

keep doing this process with all 5 folders.

once done if you go into your email.app you will only still see the emailaccount you created erlier this is normal.

Now reboot your phone (Full Reboot) power off then power on.

when you return to your email.app you will see that all your account have returened.

if you need any help let me know.

i will add screen shots later to help out

Hope this helps.

Great tutorial! This has been driving me nuts for years.

Just tried it though and the copy process failed... I believe a file was in use. I went to the app manager and force stopped email, but it still failed in copying. It did get farther though.

Any idea what else I should force stop for succes?

My plan b is to boot into recovery and see if I can do the copy steps from TWRP. Seems like I saw a file manager in there before..

Thanks again!
