[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidGraphix:
I've done a heavy search on the problem and can't seem to find a solution so here goes. I created a file through Adobe Photoshop for the status_bar_close_on.9.png. Pictured below. I created it in the exact dimensions the file was which is 480 x 48. I then ran cmd for draw9patch. I dropped my .png file into draw9patch to make it a .9.png.(Also, made a border on the bottom and right side even though there's no words in the final .9.png.)

I then placed the file into SystemUI.apk>deleted META-INF> then resigned the apk. Placed the APK back into a flashable zip> Flashed.

My problem is a white border shows around my image now. From the recommendation of another forum member, I tried putting the apk into apkTools and ran unPack.bat and quickPack.bat which didn't work either.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: I think I may have found my problem. I wasn't using Eclipse to compile the image.

Reference: http://www.nexus-nation.com/root-your-nexus-one/9pngs-figured-out

EDIT: This wasn't easy to figure out. I don't want anyone to go through what I went through so I've added what I've found and posted some nice pictures for you visual people.

*You first need to read the page I referenced above. After you have installed Eclipse, you'll need to install the google plugin shown below.

Possible errors you'll run into when starting an Eclipse Project

When you start a new project>File>New Project>Android>Android Project> and the build target is not listed you'll need to do the following on Eclipse. You'll know you have to do this if it says, "An SDK project must be specified."

If your screen looks like this, it means you haven't specified your SDK directory for Eclipse.

Step 1. Open Eclipse>Windows>Preferences

Step 2. Find the location of your SDK

Your Eclipse should then look like the following image, which now displays your build target.

Possible Error 2: While setting up a new project in Eclipse, you get the error: "

You need to enter the package name as: com.android.newproject and the project name must be one word only.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brut.all:
What's unPack.bat and quickPack.bat? As I told you on a PM, you have to compile that 9.png file. You can do that:

using apktool: decode apk using apktool, then add your 9.png and build apk back

creating new Android project: create it, add your 9.png, build, unpack, copy compiled 9.png - that method was described in a guide quoted by you.

or using aapt tool directly
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidGraphix:
The aapt came with the unpack and quickpack.bat. Which were in the apktool kit. Unpack.bat. From what it said, decodes the apk file. It looks like it extracts it. Quickpack.bat puts the file back into an apk. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I ran the aapt.exe but it quickly ran cmd then exited before I was able to see what was done. There were no guides I could find on how to use it, which didn't help.

I'd really like to know how to use aapt. I'm sure that's much easier and faster than running Eclipse. Please advise.

**This link is the download page from which you sent me regarding the apktool. Inside it includes those bat files along with aapt.exe.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brut.all:
Errr.. what? ;-D I'm an author of apktool and I'm pretty sure there are no such files ;-) For Windows there should be: apktool.jar, apktool.bat and aapt.exe .

aapt is more advanced tool, but you could try it if you want. Do:

fake AndroidManifest.xml file - simplest manifest is: http://pastebin.com/ck2EPh6U , you can copy it.

create file structure:

AndroidManifest.xml
res/
drawable/
1.9.png
2.9.png
3.9.png
...

open terminal, cd to a directory with above files

run "aapt p -f -F out.apk -M AndroidManifest.xml -S res"

unpack out.apk and copy *.9.png files to your apk.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidGraphix:
Thanks. I'll have to try this out and see if it's faster than Eclipse. You were right on the files not being in the link provided. I somehow got them mixed up. Here's where I downloaded that apktool that included the quickpack.bat and unpack.bat files.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
hey guys.. so my dad's MT3G slide is perm rooted and running cyanogenmod 6 with clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.7. but the weird thing is, the bootloader shows S-ON!

i forgot which root method i had used, but this is pretty weird. i can flash and do anything like my rooted MT4G, with superuser permissions.

is this normal?

here are some images of it:
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimczyz:
Yes, s- off is a separate process. Mine is s - on but perm rooted.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SefEXE:
Yeah that's normal. I never S-Off'd and... Well, I won't either. Haha. Rooted just fine and did everything I needed to.

Also, where are the pics? :<

On my EVO 4G I used Juice Defender, it seemed to help battery life a bit. Does the EVO-3D even need it ? Sometimes that app could cause more conflicts too.

Opinion ?

[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
i have it installed to test i have had no conflicts . going to turn it off in the am to see how good the battery is

[HTC EVO 3D] festo702:
Put the beta version on first and it will work fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] #Winning#:
Try using "Automateit" in the Market, it is a free app but gives you numerous battery saving options that you can set up to your liking. A lot easier to use than Juice imho, and it is very similar to Tasker.
[HTC EVO 3D] dangerruss:
It really helps when you lower the screen brightness just a little. That send to be the biggest drain on the battery that i hassle noticed with this Phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedgonzo:
My Experience

I spent the first 24 hours with my 3D without Juice Defender and the battery life was just alright, 3D images and video drain it quick though. I installed it this morning and my battery is still going strong, I shot a ton more photos and videos today than I did yesterday, too. I'd say use it and customize the settings to your liking once you know the program. I'm running similar setting to my Hero (CDMA) and it seems to have improved the battery life substantially.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] SS2006:
I was excited to get 2.3.4 so I can try to get the video gtalk working

It works on a lot of non nexus S phones (my brothers galaxy S for example)

I simply flashed a zip for him, found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056793

But trying with the latest CWM for Atrix 2.3.4, I always get status 0 (installation aborted)

I also used Gtalk installer from the market, and it installs fine and I can see video icons but when clicked, the app just disappears and comes back, nothing happens

That link has most of the methods, but the zip I used on a Galaxy S (and works) is attached.

PS: I also flashed the google apps zip successfully, but the Gtalk video still doesnt work.

Lots of mentions of 'GoogleServicesFramework.apk' being the culprit
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Squeak22:
The front facing camera is probably the culprit here. There are specific versions of Qik for the Atrix, so I'm assuming there would be a specific version of gtalk for us too.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] BravoMotorola:
Have you guys even tried the front camera? It's black and white, rotated 90 degrees off and stretched. The front camera for the hk 2.3.4 build is really messed up for now.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] seanzscreams:
i was noticing it was skewed weird, but using qik and yahoo messenger on my wifes end the video looked fine, on my end its rotated weird but in full color
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] _Dennis_:
I installed the CWM zip using root explorer (put the 3 files in the right places, googleframework and talk.apk in /system/app and the lib file in /system/lib and change all permissions to rw-r--r--)

I get all the video icons and I can make a voice chat, but the voice chat never reaches the other person (me on a separate account on my computer). When my test account calls the account on my phone the phone does not receive it either.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dLo GSR:
moto stated that the camera should use the ffc driver in gingerbread (froyo didn't have a built in driver) so i don't think that is the root if the issue
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] klub242:
Agreed, once an official USA release version of Gingerbread comes out, that is. I think the dev phone/beta/whatever status of the 2.3.4 leak we have is the problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] LeoLopezDO:
Well I guess it depends which way you look at this...

I use (used) google voice strictly for voicemail on the Evo4g but it appears that somehow this works differently on the E3d.

The app essentially hijacked my phone and made itself the default receiver of text messages as well as voice/voicemail. I liked it better when i had the choice which program make all my calls and I much prefer the sense sms app over the one built into google voice.

Maybe i did something different but I noticed even the differences in the setup of google voice...it seems that sprint's carrier integration now allows for all this. Just wish i had the option to choose what part of the app does what.

Thought others might want to know as well. phone is GREAT by the way =]o
[HTC EVO 3D] 4thephil:
Did the same thing for me. Easy fix though. Go to voice.google.com and Deactivate Google Voice on your Sprint phone in Voice Settings. Deactivate call forwarding. Then you can re-enable call forwarding. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
I was pissy about this myself. I hadn't tried the fix but unwilling as soon as I get to my pc.
[HTC EVO 3D] LeoLopezDO:
So does this work? Does this just do phone or text as well? any update?
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
It's not an EVO 3D thing it's a Sprint Google integration thing. You just didn't setup your EVO from scratch after the Voice integration happened.

I love Google Voice integration. I've posted these links in other threads but they are good reads on why you are better off actually integrating and how to still use your default messaging apps.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...e-integration-i-did-it-and-heres-how-it-went/

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ice-sprint-integration-questions-and-answers/

Here are some other cool things I'm able to do now myself. I can make outbound and inbound calls on my google talk using my cell number on my computer wherever I have internet access. I bought an OBI110 and hooked up a phone to it so now I have free VOIP calls whenever I answer or receive calls to my CELL number on this phone. Now I don't have to give anyone a different number and I can still control who gets to reach me at what time of the day. I can answer and receive texts on my computer, laptop, tablet all using my cell number. All my texts are backed up and searchable to my google voice account (even texts I send from my phone using one of the regular messaging apps, not google voice app)

My opinion. Take the time and setup integration right. It's one MAJOR advantage of being an Android user on Sprint now. You're missing out on way more by not setting it up than you would by setting it up.

Oh and for those who don't want to lose your old Google Voice Number, Google lets you keep additional numbers at $20 per number.
[Motorola Droid X2] tgrantjr:
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but i figure ill fire it out there. After going thru multiple warranty replacements and they even swapped my original x for an x2. It will not activate. the manager said he would send me an iphone4 32gig model. He said i will have until Friday to make my decision. I love android and never used ios. They will not ship me anything with a 4.3 inch screen except another x2. Im just tired of the swapping. I told them i may switch to sprint. I just am looking for opinions and i wont flame anyone for their opinion. Thanks all
[Motorola Droid X2] KeithRVA:
They should be able to get you activated eventually, that sounds odd to me. I'm very happy with my DX2. I would rather have the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor over any other feature on any device. The qhd display is also amazing, don't let anyone tell you otherwise until you see a Tegra 2 game like PinballHD or RiptideGT in person.

I also have an original Droid X running ota Gingerbread and the performance is great. Once the DX2 is updated to 2.3 and more apps are written to take advantage of dual core this device will deliver some awesome performance. Fir now, gotta love scoring 2800+ on quadrant everytime with stock unrooted DX2 :)

But do what's best for you. The iPhone is sweet and iOS 5 is just around the corner. That will be like xmas morning in iPhoneland, so many new features to unwrap! But I'm sticking with my Droooiiiiddddd
[Motorola Droid X2] bbro:
Just a quick tip.. I had problems activating too.

This might help - Make sure you have good service and instead of pressing the activate button on the screen, go to emergency then dial *228. That worked for me.

[Motorola Droid X2] tgrantjr:
Thanks for all the responses. By the way the emergency call *228 worked. Thank you for that. I used to have an iphone and when i activated it was like riding a bike again. But then it hit me that i have to jailbreak and add all these repos and install all this crap and have pretty icons all over the place. I got it 6 hours ago and its going back in the box. Im sticking with the x2. Hopefully it gets updated soon and all will be right with the world. I now despise apple products even more. Its more of a gimick toy for someone to say "i have an iphone" Sorry i doubted you android, even if it was only a couple of hours.
[Motorola Droid X2] spr0k3t:
Yeah, ipwn is teh suc. Glad you stuck it out.
[Motorola Droid X2] acPIZZA:
Yeah, good move with the x2. The ip4 is stable, intuitive and runs itself more or less... But it's so boring and limiting. The android phones just feel faster. Back when I was a dedicated iPhone guy, I thought the ip4 was blazing fast...until I started on android.
[Motorola Droid X2] rendomatt:
My OG Droid felt faster then the iPhone 4 after Root/ROM/OC. 10 minutes of work and I had a superior phone. (in my book)

Now that I've got the X2, using the iPhone feels like going back to my Palm Pre from the OG. Big leap forward, pentile display be damned.

[Motorola Droid X2] acPIZZA:
The X2 display is MUCH nicer than the Atrix's screen. Its like night and day for some reason, even though they are using similar tech.

Agreed. DX2 display is better.

I don't dislike it necessarily, it has just taken some adjustment from the OG Droid.

Iv installed the OTA and the system up dates. I see nothing different and it still says S-ON :/

[HTC EVO 3D] rhconcepts:
I would wait. If the update is not a big deal then wait. If you have to update the phone just to root it then you could do it when time comes.
[HTC EVO 3D] princem131:
I read that the update is supposed to address an issue with the phone not sleeping correctly. Mine seems to be having a slight issue with awake time. Anyone else noticing this? It has me contemplating doing the update. I'm in no major rush for root. Also I hear there's an update to the update.... Do you have to do the initial update to do this or is one a system update and the other for HTC watch?
[HTC EVO 3D] nealwheels:
I don't know....I am still a little gun shy of the OTA's after what happened with my EVO.

Rest it's soul..It will be sadly missed.
[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
i say dont unless u have problems.. may affect root.
[HTC EVO 3D] princem131:
I'll gauge battery performance tomorrow and see how it goes first....
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
I did it. I probably wont root until the bootloader gets unlocked. There was way too many bugs to ignore the updates. No phone icon, constant sync, 100% wake time, green hornet not working, phone not restarting, etc... Didn't want to deal with all that.
[HTC EVO 3D] weidnerj:
I would go ahead and accept the OTA updates:

1. Currently no root. So those that are looking for exploits to achieve root most likely would do it with the phone with all the updates. Doesn't do much good to achieve root using the software level that is obsolete (now).

2. If HTC keeps their word, then there will have to be an OTA to unlock the boot loader. Can have root without the boot loader, but can't install customer firmware without access to the boot loader. And on my previous EVO 4G having custom firmware sometimes would hose OTA updates - which required me to either go back to stock or load new fireware with the OTA incorporated.

But it is up to you to decide what you feel is right in your situation OP.
[HTC EVO 3D] princem131:
Sooo.... It went over smoothly? No issues? Was your phone staying awake pre-update and was it fixed after? Or any other battery improvements? ( I am anxious to see Green Hornet to check out the 3D on a full movie)
[HTC EVO 3D] HammDroid:
I've done all the updates as well with no issues at all. Everything went very smoothly, and the updates weren't that large, so they didn't take long to d/l or install.

The EVO 3D will prevent you from installing the OTA's until your battery level is over 35%.
[HTC EVO 3D] princem131:
I think I'm going to take the dive.... Gotta wait til my battery hits 35% first tho, currently too low
[HTC EVO 3D] bsims85:
I'm going to wait a bit. I think the update also changes HBoot so some of the Devs are holding out on updating.

[HTC EVO 3D] daveeckert:
I did the update (wanted to watch the damn movie - lame, I know).

I can't prove a direct cause and effect, but I believe my battery life has improved a lot with the update. However, it could just be because I finally got a few charge cycles into it (I did the OTA on day two, and had only fully discharged it once by then).
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Sooooo tempted.......must fight the urge!
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
If you want root don't update. The updates won't necessarily break the 1st root method--but we don't know that.

Besides, my phone is running flawless....aside from sense 3.0 being a big fat sloppy hog....
[HTC EVO 3D] princem131:
I'm so tempted but think i will hold off.... I downloaded it last night but luckily my battery was too low. Now It's just sitting on my phone. I'm gonna see how it goes today at bare minimum and then decide. Besides they may have root in a few more days knowing how fast the devs work lol

Edit: just deleted the update to remove temptation lol
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
temp root, keep in mind...we're still waiting on HTC to even say something let alone release something.
[HTC EVO 3D] jyan_osu:
I'm not updated but I was able to watch the Green Hornet by adding the HTC Watch widget and running it off there. If I pressed on the Green Hornet icon in the app drawer, it would ask me to update the software. Pulling it straight from the widget bypasses it.
[HTC EVO 3D] pain-is-free:
I did all the OTA update as well. The phone so far is flawless except for I haven't seen Tue full battery indicator yet. Love the perfomance, can't wait to root it.
[HTC EVO 3D] nfinitefx45:
I believe that the boot loader will always be s-on just not signed with a 256 bit encrypted key. They are not going to just give s-off.

Someone needs to check the new boot.img and see if it is signed also if the hboot is updated which I believe is the new .4 image.

They agreed not to sign the images not to just give s-off.
[HTC EVO 3D] princem131:
Good point about root forgot all about the bootloader issue :(

And nice find! Worked for me too! One less temptation to update lol and the 3D seems to function better on this vid than the ones I took myself or others I've seen on YouTube
[HTC EVO 3D] calopez_22:
i took the dive today and took the ota figured that there would be more down the line and the great devs here would eventually find ways to root with all the ota's that are given. They did for the evo, and so far liking the new sense. I never was a big fan with the evo but except for all the crapware im not minding sense 3.0
[HTC EVO 3D] rhconcepts:
I did it cause the 3d YouTube videos didn't play right. It's all good now. I think if someone finds a way to root it may just be from this version that they do it with.
[HTC EVO 3D] imninsomniac:
for those who have not installed the update yet, you can watch the green hornet movie by adding the watch widget to one of your homescreens and selecting the green hornet from there.
