[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] silvacrest:
can someone PLEASE make this theme into a .zip file that we can flash via clockworkmod?

i have spent over an hour trying to get my PC to recognize my phone via adb device but it never works

i can boot into CWM and have flashed quite a few things on my play but this just doesnt work for me
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
You can use rootexplorer or similar to move the files. Just remember to move them to /system/ first, then change permissions and then move them to there folder in /system/app or /system/framework ;) (if you don't do it this way you'll end up in a bootloop).

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] silvacrest:
cheers, i'll give this a go
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] silvacrest:
sorry to bump but what do you mean by change permissions?

also, if its not to much trouble, could you post a quick tutorial on what to do after coping the files via root explorer? others have asked for something similar but no one has answered yet :/
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nhialor:
you need to change the permissions of the app you are changing, if u hold down on the app, u need to change them to the permissions in the first post!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] zerojay:
Hi, guys. I've flashed the Galaxy S II theme as part of my recently released ROM and one of my users discovered a little bug caused by the above suggestion. If you remove ApplicationSettings, the Messaging application will force close anytime you attempt to bring up the settings menu. Putting the app back is the only fix.

Just thought you'd want to know.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nhialor:
Anyone able to make this into a flashable zip?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
Not true! I've removed ApplicationSettings and stock sms app works fine:p
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
As Nhialor says when in rootexplorer long press on the app and then choose permissions and it should look like this when set correct:

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] zerojay:
I think that's only true if you haven't wiped. If you have a fresh ROM and ApplicationSettings is not a part of it, it will crash every time.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Abaddon:
could you share your status bar theme?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
Sorry mate don't know if i have the .apk files anymore or wich FW it's for and you might not even like the rest i changed?

I made it with uot kitchen:

http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/

Just changed a settings file i had stored on my laptop. You can upload it on uot kitchen in file upload. It's only the battery and the circle icons.

If you have any problems just pm me ;)

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
Updated the first post!

Made some small changes in framework-res and SystemUI :)

Now the statusbar is black, like on the SGS2! Also added the reboot mod to the package!

Enjoy :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
This doesn't look any different if I'm using a custom launcher right?

I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
It depends on how you setup your homescreen/launcher, but yes it will look slightly different as the dock aint the same style/type in all the different launchers out there.

Try it out mate and se if it goes for you or not. Just do a nandroid before doing any mod so you can restore if you don't like it ;)

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
hm ,i want to try this.But i just want to flash it in CWM -.- Yes,im lazzzy :P sorry.

Can anyone make it into a Flashable ZIPPP? :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
Lol you know what they say 'no arms, no cookies' :p

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
But think of the lazzy people @_@!!!

I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] pricey2009:
Please can somebody pack into a flashable zip for me..?

I do try but everytime I try to use adb commands I fail.. probably because my PC is crap but I would really appreciate it if someone could help.. thanks.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
You could also use rootexplorer, but remember to move all files to /system/ first and then change permissions and then move to /system/app or /system/framework. If you move them directly to /system/app - /system/framework you'll end up in a bootloop ;)

You could also google 'how to make a flashable .zip for CWM' if nobody makes one for you guys?

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
I'll try to make one :-P

I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
And this is why i prefer CWM,tried it doing RootExplorer way and got messy stuff -_____-

Had to Wipe data,flashing a new FW
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
FYI Cat. This isnt compatible with the 2.3.4 update yet :p
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
i did it on 2.3.3.

I was JUST going to flash to R8OOa and then i saw the new FW :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
I am updating the theme to work with 2.3.4 atm :)

I just have to wait for AdamTt to release a new framework with reboot options :P
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
Any chance you can throw your themed apps into a .zip for us :p we can wait for the framework and systemUI :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
Uploading the files to my phone now to test it :P

Will upload it after that!

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nhialor:

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
Nope. If someone could give me a guide, I'll make one :P
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
if FrAsErTaG still here,you can PM him :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nhialor:
Ill try it out tomorrow.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] narflynn619:
i've been eyeing this already, might as well do it after the 2.3.4 install via OTA..

but one question, can i just do it using Root Explorer? I'm not that well-versed in terminal commands, but I sure can learn.. :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LightingZ:
Can i use this theme with Rooted X-Play locked bootloader?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
Need root then
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
Yes root explorer will do the job aswell.

Just remember to move all files to /sytsem/ first and change permission there and then move to /system/app and /system/framework. The reason is to avoid a bootloop.

The permissions are as follows (when in root explorer and the files are moved to /system/ then long press the apps you want to change permissions on and choose permissions): rw-r--r--r-- (the letters means that the box is ticked).

If you want to do it with ADB all instructions are in the download file ;)

Regardsm Dousan...

e: @lightingz yes you can.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] narflynn619:
oh i see, so it's bundled with instructions anyway.. but yeah i'm more comfortable with Root Explorer since i have been playing with my system/app with it before when installing the modded homescreen.. :D

thanks anyway..

and oh, i suppose that should be rw-r--r-- right?

like

R W - (6)

R - - (4)

R - - (4)

is it the same permission for those that will be placed on /system/framework?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
That is correct on both questions ;)

I also like using root explorer over ADB when i can :D

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] narflynn619:
many thanks pal! indispensable help! :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
How does this look? :)

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
I agree, it looks great :D

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nhialor:
looks class mate, keep it up :-)

Any ideas if this will work on CM7? What's teh easiest way of going about removing the theme?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
Thanks guys! Will upload it later tonight ;d

I'm sure these apk's won't work with CM7. About your other question, you could reflash your system. Or just upload the original apk's back to your phone :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
First post is now updated! ;)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
I'm getting a 404 error on the link :p

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
Arf.. Can't you make a flashable zip? Last time I tried I had to do a hard reset.. -. -

I love this theme , The zip works great:) thanks

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
I lived dangerous so i didnt naNdroid

It worked well but the boot was crazy long,JUST as i was about to remove the battery it BOOTED!

Couple of things about the Theme:

is it possible adding toggle widgets in the drop-down notificiation Bar?

Can you make the letters abit more BLACKAR letters in the SIM - CARD Sign-in?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] pricey2009:
Hey guys I have made up a zip for the old firmware (4.0.A.2.368)

http://www.multiupload.com/MUVPJEOIKY

The one for the new firmware didn't work for me so I changed the files over.

Works fine now and I think this theme is great :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
I see we lost the automatic brightness option xD

I'll try to fix that :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ripudaman:
Hi,

I am quite new to this so I have few doubts

1: how to install the theme, do i have to install all apk 1 by 1 or i have to rename the text file & then do some thing.

2: i have the original 4.0.A.2.368, Do will it install on that

3: how will in uninstall it if i want to.

Thanks for the help.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
I just threw the .apk's in a uot update .zip and rezipped it :D lol
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
I didn't notice till you told me :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
It's because of I used a framework from the Arc. :P

Will upload an update as soon as possible!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
Download link in the first post updated!

Now it's possible to enable/disable automatic brightness! :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
More work for AndroHero :P
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
LOL and in the end you got those cookies wothout arms :p
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ripudaman:
Any some one help me on this
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
If we would have known the problem..we would have helped you.

EDIT: Another failure with the flashable zip...grr... :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
First you download the files that matches FW 4.0,A.2.368 and inside the .zip there will be a 'how to' txt file, just follow that.

Before you follow the 'how to' make a backup of all the original apk's involved and transfer them to your pc.

Then follow the instructions in the txt file.

If you want to return just do the same thing with your backup apk's as you did with the downloaded ones.

You can also do it with root explorer, then you just need to copy the downloaded .zip to your sdcard.

First make a backup of all the original apk's involed and transfer them to your pc.

Second move all modded apk's from downloaded .zip to /system and then set permissions (rw-r--r--) and then move them to /system/apps and /system/framework. Really important that you do it with these two steps or you'll might end up in a bootloop.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Roshi69:
when going through the adb process i get to this stage:

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system

Then it says access denied. any ideas?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
Is your phone rooted?

When you type 'su' and hit enter do you get this '#' on an empty new line?

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Roshi69:
I am rooted 2.3.4. When I type su it goes to a new line that says su
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
But do you also get this sign # in that line, cuz that's how you tell if you got root right's.

Is your sdcard mounted in 'storage mode' (transfer folders/files to/from your pc) cuz it shouldn't be (disconnect it). Your sdcard should be mounted on the phone so you can access it through adb shell and move files. This is just on top of my head, i could be wrong.

It might be that superuser is not granting adb shell root right's? Check if a pop up box appears on your phone the next time you try to adb shell/su into your play.

Sorry i can't be of more help here, I haven't got my phone at the moment, so can't actually test adb shell and what it gives me.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Roshi69:
I am able to push the files (.apk's) to the phone no problem. Its only when i try SU i get problems. I didnt check the phone for a pop up box because the screen was off when i tried it. i will try again and let you know.

Thanks

*edit* I just tried it again and turned "stay awake" on in development settings and a pop up does appear on the phone when you type the SU command into adb.

Thanks alot Dousan. i pressed thanks button too :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
Dousan, maybe you can make a flashable zippy?

I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
Could try, I just don't have my play to test it on as it's still at the repair shop. They are... How do i put it nicely... I'm gob smacked over their service level at the repair shop or should i say, the lack of it. They broke my volume button and while repairing that they broke my R-trigger and necklected to tell me that they couldn't fix the issue my phone had and still returned it to me the last time as fixed. Well it's of to an extern repair shop at the moment.

Anyways it might be two weeks before i see it again, so don't hold your breath :p

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
i dont think you need a play to test it,i have put the system dump (2.3.4 nordic system in X10 forums general) and you can extract the System UI and Framework res apk and all the important stuff...

care to give it a try? I made 2 attempts,1 actually was flashed in CWM,but got into a bootpoop. The other couldnt be flashed which might because i duplicated the framework res apk to app...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
I've been sniffing around the net and found some tut's and i'll try it out this weekend at some point ;)

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
Hi everybody, I've made a flashable .zip for CWM of the theme for FW build 4.0.1.A.0.283.

Cat_On_Droid tested it yesterday and can confirm it works as it should.

I pm'ed @thomassafca about uploding it here in his thread and he was ok with that ;)

Link:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15449311/zip/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_Theme.zip

@thomassafca if it's easier for you to keep track of download you could always put it in you first post upladed to your own filesharing site and i could delete this?

Regards Dousan...

Ohh I will also make one for FW build .368 :)

e: You need an unlocked bootloader to flash through CWM (ClockWorkMod).

If on build .283 boot into CWM with RecoveryPlay.img through fastboot and then flash the .zip (located on the sdcard in a folder of your choise).

If on build .368 boot into CWM with rebooting phone and tapping back button untill in CWM and then flash the .zip (located on the sdcard in a folder of your choise) (in this case i take you've flashed Doomlords kernel on your play prior to this).
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
are you going to be doing a version for the 4.0.2.A.0.42 FW? :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
I will :)

But only when Adam releases his reboot mod for that fw :P
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
Take your time mate :) I think i'll wait for the WWE version of that FW before i flash it anyway :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
I'm updating my PLAY now, with this SI number: 1242-1432

I have no idea what it is, but it's the number that's under my battery

EDIT:

Ok, it came without all the Chinese bloatware, so that's good :P
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
I got a little suprise for you guys :D

Have a look at the first post!

Now support for 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware.

No reboot option yet, but it's a flashable zip thanks to Dousan! :)
[General Questions and Answers] tarantula78:
Hi all,

Since the Evo 3D was announced I was determined to get it but just near the launch i hear they removed 1080P video recording :S which is sh!t if you ask me. Now you know I love technical features and im pretty sure the whole 3D pictures and videos thing is a bit of a gimmick. Ive seen 3d Movies in the cinema and all it does is give you a very slight feeling of depth in a 2d picture. Nothing like how they advertise in IMax where it looks like someones coming out the screen lol. So if thats the capabilities of IMax what will it be for this tiny HTC phone?

I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S and I love it. The camera is good the features, the power and especially the Super Amoled screen. Its gorgeous.

Im sure many have pointed out before that the touchWiz interface is absolutely boring. There is no sense of design or thought in it. Im sure people just sat around and decided "well lets make some icons and then stick it in an iPhone-like menu". On the other hand HTC give a higher resolution AND the amazing HTC Sense 3.0 interface. It is absolutely lovely. I had an HTC before (TyTN) and when i changed the crappy windows UI for the Sense UI it was well worth all the hassle of learning to flash roms and so forth.

So now I present you a summary:

Samsung Galaxy S 2 Pros - 8MP camera, Full HD Recording, Super Amoled Plus, better benchmark results than the Evo 3d

Samsung Galaxy S 2 Cons - No 3D (?), Annoying TouchWiz interface, Same old design (of the phone)

Evo 3D Pros - 3D Cameras (?), Dual LED, Nice HTC Sense Interface, HTC Speaker is always LOUD, downright sexay lookin :P

Evo 3D cons - no 1080P Recording!!, Alot less powerful than the galaxy s 2, no amoled

So what do you guys think i should do? any opinions?
[General Questions and Answers] rizdog23:
I'd go with the sgs2 just for the raw power then put a sense rom on it....many of them are great. But at the same time, if you are looking at an evo 3d that means you are on sprint like me, and we dont have sgs2 yet. It depends on if you want to wait or not. Personally, because of the power an sleekness i believe that the sgs2 is more future proof. Or you could go the same route as me and just wait for the Nexus 3....if it ever gets announced :P
[General Questions and Answers] tarantula78:
See the thing is im in the middle east im not on sprint and the evo 3d has not been released here yet

tell me more about the sense roms is there one for the galaxy s i9000? And is there already one for the gs2? If there is something like that for the gs2 then i will take that although i do think the evo 3d has better design the gs2 could have used more buttons at the front so what about these roms?

Evo's camera is really messed, get the sgs2, it'a much better phone under every other aspect as well imho. 3d feature is bull and will bore you after a day i bet...
[General Questions and Answers] tarantula78:
how bad exactly are we talking? and i had a look for the htc sense rom on galaxy s but its still in development... i have to say i really really like the htc sense UI and the last htc i had has a pretty nice camera and that was only 2MP

Edit:

I was browsing around the reviews and i saw a few clips of Evo 3D recording... Was disappointed that such quality can come from an expensive high end 2011 phone. i mean i think the original galaxy S has better quality from its 5MP camera.

So instead of constantly baiting myself with reviews about Evo 3D and comparisons (which mostly turn out in GS2's favour anyway) I thought id look at a GS2 review.

I gotta say its amazing, its absolutely blazingly fast. I change my opinion there is no more competition the GS2 is way better Why? because:

Evo 3D has worse quality than what i originally thought

The Evo 3D scores ~1900 on benchmarks (quadrant)

My Galaxy S scores 1600 on benchmark after darkys rom so why should i shell out so much cash for 300 benchmark points??

Some people said Evo 3D is still new and I should wait for some optimizations. Taking this into consideration it occured to me that even if the Evo 3D manages to hit 2800 (and i guarantee there is only so much optimizing you can do that it will not cross 2800) it still wont be as powerful as a SGS 2.

Think of it in terms of cars, I have a V6 and i can race quite a few V6s on the roads. Now if i were to modify my car i can easily beat a V8. But what if the V8 gets modified too? So as such wait till darkys crew gets their hands on the SGS 2. I mean they added about 700 benchmark points on my i9000! It just shows the durability of the SGS series to allow a huge optimization and customization. For example the headphones volume was not loud lo and behold there came the Voodoo kernel app to give a boost. Now you tell me, if a phone allows you to fix every single niggle that u hate about it is that not a perfect phone?

Im not saying the Evo 3D is bad but the galaxy S 2 really kicks its ass in terms of speed.

Now about the UI:

Sure HTC sense is nice but I never actually saw the TW 4.0 UI up close. After watching a number of reviews my conclusion is, its not bad at all! Seriously, check it out. Its got 3D rendering, its got folders in its menu. It no longer looks like a cheap iPhone clone! It is really really slick. Its got a video editor a native chat application and FULL 1080p recording with flash. I was never too concerend about camera quality because im not much of a photographer but man oh man can you see the difference. As for the screens? the AmoLed doesnt even give the Super LCD of the Evo a chance!

Ive decided, SGS 2 it is!

How do I make WidgetLocker launch without waking the screen? Every time I press power, it turns the screen back on after about 3 seconds, then I can press it again and it stays off. Apparently this is because the Archos firmware (I have UrukDroid 1.0, same either way) turns screen on when _any_ app is launched in the background, unless it's a service.
