Hi at all,

first, sorry for my englisch.

I have a problem.

I have an galaxy s2 i9100 since 4 days. An the dock icons (at the bottom) look like this (it's a screenshot from my phone):

BUT WHY? i mean, for example, on this official screenshot the dock icons are different and much cooler:

or look at this video on youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUowqvuG_BQ

i have the official KIES-Firmware: i9100XXKE7 / GINGERBREAD.XWKF3

so please, can somebody tell me why i dont have those nice "new" icons on my phone. are they coming with offical 2.3.4 or what?

im looking forward to your feedback :-)
[Galaxy S II General] mljjlm:
The video is showing a Test-UI, so actually I think you have the new 'cooler' icons, and the guy in the video doesn't.. It just the way Samsung made it in the end I guess :)
[Galaxy S II General] kaynow:
so that means those icons were "not retail"? that sucks -.-
[Galaxy S II General] onslaught86:
I wondered the exact same thing when I got mine. The shipped icons are the same as the i9000's Touchwiz 3 set, and considering I upgraded 'from' an i9000 (And hated those icons on that too) it sort of soured the upgrade feeling a tad.

Turns out that, indeed, despite being on all the stock images, that icon set was from pre-release software (There's actually another set of rounded icons from even earlier software, but I haven't been able to find those). The good news is that the pre-release ROMs did leak, and so did the icons. All you need to do is root the phone and use ninjamorph or similar to replace the icons in the Contacts, MMS, and Touchwiz30launcher apks. It's a breeze once you've done it the first time.
[Galaxy S II General] kaynow:
thanks for the information. is there maybe alredy somone who did this, with the icons?
[Galaxy S II General] onslaught86:
Search for the i9000 Touchwiz 4 themes, that's where I found my icons.
[Galaxy S II General] kaynow:
ok i found those "new" icons. but i dont realy get it. i installed ninja morpg but he is saying that i dont have installed busy box. phone is rootet.

is there an easy way to change the graphics of the doc-icons?
[Galaxy S II General] jerome.d:
One thing seems strange to me: on the screenshot, the battery icon does not seem to be the "classical" one (at least not the one I saw with every stock firmware i had - KE1, KE2 and now KE7), since it indicates a counter rather than a simple (and not too informative) "filling-up icon". i read on the market (in the description of one battery application, don't know remember which) that it was not possible, by using markets apps, to replace the basic android battery icon, in the status bar.

Therefore, I imagined that battery icons with embedded counters always came from non-stcok (and rooted) roms.

So, I am wondering: is this battery icon with an embedded counter the standard battery on KF3? Does it come from a market app (I searched *many* market battery apps such like that, with no luck)? Is the said phone rooted with a non-stock rom?
[Galaxy S II General] kaynow:
i'm sorry! the battery icon is not the original one. i've replaced it. please ignore this.
[Galaxy S II General] jerome.d:
I am however interested in knowing how you replaced it! ;)
[Galaxy S II General] kaynow:
flash one of the zip's with cwm.

[Galaxy S II General] kaynow:
ok, i got it. i just downloaded the .apk's (for example: Contacts.apk, Mms.apk, Phone.apk, TouchWiz30Launcher.apk) to my computer and open it with the programm 7-zip (DONT EXTRACT!). than i replaced the png's (just drag and drop the png into the 7-zip window) and copied the apk's back to the system -> app folder with root explorer.

and it works! :-)

as you can see on this screenshot. i replaced the icon for contacts:

Is it possible to create shortcuts on the home screen to point directly to specific settings?

E.G. I would like a shortcut to the USB utitlites setting (Settings>Wireless and network>USB Utilities) for when I want to plug my usb cable in to transfer files.

I'd also like a shortcut to the Wi-Fi settings (Settings>Wireless and network>Wi-Fi settings) to scan and switch network quickly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
You can add shortcuts to the 1st tier of settings, but not below. Other than that, you're looking for a 3rd party app that acts as a shortcut, or Launcher Pro may be able to do it by adding activities as shortcuts.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunseaker:
Thanks johnc. Can you explain how I can set a shortcut to the first tier of settings.

This is my first Android phone and I have only had it for 3 weeks but the more I use it the more unfinished Android is looking. There are just so many basic usability functions that are missing within the core apps. It seems you need to tack 2-3 3rd party apps on everything to make it work properly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
Once you get more used to it you'll be fine. There's obviously a learning curve, but it's well worth it as Android allows you to do so much, but yes, usually with the help of an app or two.

Anyway, to add a settings shortcut, long-hold on your home screen and in the pop-up menu, select "Shortcuts". Then, scroll down and select "Settings". That will give you your settings menu and you can then add anything off that menu to your home screen.

That's instructions for doing it with the TouchWiz launcher, which is the default launcher on stock devices. If you have a different launcher then it may be slightly different, but that's generally it for all of them.

Hope this helps mate :)

Hi there,

I m thinking of deodexing stock 351 rom. i did apps and framework successfully and flashed them back via zip but after that m stuck on bootloops.

Please someone helpout. i wana learn not go back via nandroid:]
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
Best way to do this is to download the htc desire kitchen rom maker. It has great options to deox and zip align as well as make a cwm flashable rom....

I tried to do this manually and always ran into issues, with the downloadedable kitchen it works everytime.

[Streak 5 General] Krad:
what is your error? I don't see it... Did you go into build.prop and remove the one module the streak doesn't use?
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
what fun is that? if you can learn how to do it yourself? :-)
[Streak 5 General] rsfinsrq:
LOL, agreed! The thread may however provide some answers the the issues that were encountered.
[Streak 5 General] mid_life_crisis:
You do plan to Cook it afterwards right? You aren't just DeOdexing for the sake of DeOdexing? From what I've read there is basically no point to it unless you intend to create your own ROM based on the DeOdexed one. It probably won't hurt anything in a way that you'll notice, but it won't improve anything either.
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
I will not prefer goin to that link

Instead I would love learn how to it..

- Sir. Krad ....i didnt removd ny module from build.prop ,

- aktly I didnt even that.

pls lett me know wats that n where in build.prop

- i guess if edit build prop I hav to include it in my zip to put it bak? Or b4 flashin zip I hav to do it?

- I used auto deodexer to deodex app n framework.

- after my first post I used one of ur gingerbread theme while changing fonts with app and all..... Tryd flashin , flash was successful but got infinite bootloops dont know wat happened

?

I will appreciat ur more guidanc so that I can learn:)

And I agree with u lik u say u would try try try until it becomes memory .
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
Well thanks rsfinsrq :)

but I would would first try to do it myself with u guyz guidanc
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
yes, I do want yo cOOk it , but I m nt a pro in this things I would need u guyz help in learning it ,

[Streak 5 General] fards:
if you're flashing frameworks you need to make sure the old ones are deleted first and that the correct permissions are set on the files.

I've no idea what you're trying to do with the zips, there's so little information in this thread to actually point out what you've tried to do so far..

if you just want to replace frameworks with deodexed ones (why? odexing is a way of speeding things up, unless you want to try theming) then you also should be deodexing the system/apps as well, and clearing dalvik-cache.

"Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything. "

There are huge amounts of tutorials online about deodexing roms if you really want to do it.

if you're using windows then there's a fairly good tool called AutoDEOTool (v 1.02 works fine) but you still need to read the instructions.
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
I deoxed and zip aligned and I have noticed a differences in speed

I use the kitchen to deox both /system/app and /system/framework.... not sure about your update script because the kitch actually makes that for you so it should be correct

Sent from my Dell Streak
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
Fards thanks .

heres the info what i did/ tryd to do.

- used auto deodexer for apps and the whole framework folder. and till now everything was well.

- now, i have to transfer them to device back . so thought of flashable zips

tryd kitchen, for deodexing but i always got error.

- In flashable zip update-script , i used commands : 1st to delet both app and framework folders and then copied the stuff in the zip to the system. after flashing i stucked in booootloooops

----- --------- -------- ----------- ---------- -------- ------------ --------

looking at the tools u mentioned above , but the deodexing parts ok , main point is how to transfer back:(:)

[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
shud. Get them sucked by sea horse :) lol

I figured out the zip file thing , but now after successfully flashing , I need confused is it seizd or not as framework can turn up with transparent background , it just shows Blak wen I choose transparent in kitchen

Yeah, I do see a lot of bad reviews but my experience with Patriot has been great so far.
[HTC EVO 3D] dannytill:
I have a Patriot 32GB class 10. Got it from Newegg awhile back for $100. Probably last year some time. I benched it when I got and regularly move heavy data to and from the card. If I remember correctly I got around 15 MB/s writes and 19 MB/s reads, well above the class 10 rating. I ran JDisk on the my OG EVO and I think I got 15 MB/s reads and writes. And in real worlds use I do get better performance when I remove the card from my phone as compared to PC/phone transfers but I don't think that has anything to do with the card. I haven't tried Darktremmor app2sd or even native a2sd on the 3VO but they both ran great on my OG EVO. I would recommend this card over cheaper less reputable brands. You get what you pay for.

[HTC EVO 3D] duclet:
I generally just go with Sandisk or Patriot since they always work great for me. Tried Adata once before and didn't have such luck. Though it was awhile ago so they may have improved since then.

I'm loving that price but those user reviews are scary, last thing I want to gamble is bad sectors or the card completely failing.

I think I might just buy the Sandisk next month.

let me clarify you one thing that i am thanking all the people i can remember.. Ofcource omegared and playgunsta has not done something like j, z etc but still they proved to be very helpful{to me atleast}... Great developers like j, z, trip dont have enough time to solve each and every probems of people.. So people like these offer/suggest mods in the rom..

even if they cant be called a developer, atleast we can give them a status of a c0-developer. They are worthy of it.. They had provided their time to help/mod/solve problems in the roms of developers... Lets face it.. At any day they can rectify the problem faster than we can...

atleast respect them for their contribution.. I serously have a respect for them.. Cause they can do what i cant even imagine.. Be thankful to them ... Atleast because of this co-developers the speed of development increases..

just have a look at sony ericsson forms.. There isint a reply for problems for months, and when they reply they always disappoint us.. Because of these people the problems are rectified quickly

so no mater what people say... Think i've made everything very clear... I just wanna thank them... And also for respecting your opinions the op is now edited with MORE categories
