[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
I believe they are actually in framework-res.apk.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Negative ;) they are definetly in the Rosie.apk unless they changed the location in sense 3.0. It should be in the same folder as it would be in framwork-res.apk.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
SystemUI.apk (system/app). I change mine all the time.

*Drawable-HDPI, btw
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
thats on a non inspire based rom correct?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
Every time i edit an icon in frameworkres.apk i get a bootloop. What am i doin wrong?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Are you unpakcing the apk, if not when you are putting new things in do you have it set to store?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Any ROM that has a SystemUI.apk.

In any instance where there isn't one, those icons are in the framework-res.apk.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
Im not unpacking it. What do u mean by having it set to store?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Hard to tell. What are you using to change the icons?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
I was trying to drag some icons from coredroid to virtuous unity's framework and systemui.apk's, using 7zip.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
You'll need to be on a laptop/pc to do this method. Before you get started, make sure you have a backup of the apk you're modding (placed on the sd card somewhere). Also wouldn't hurt to make a nandroid. In the event where you need to revert the old apk back, skip to the steps regarding moving the apk to the original folder.

Download APK manager, open it, place the desired system apk into the "place here for modding", run the script, and select the "don't clear out current projects" option.

Near the top you'll see "extract apk". Select this option, wait for it finish, and navigate to the original apk manager folder. Here you'll see a new folder, "out". This is where the apk you extracted is. Navigate to res > drawable-hdpi and replace the desired icons. Make sure the new icons are named to exactly what you're replacing (you should get a "do you want to overwrite" dialog). They should also be sized to what the original file is (or close to it). Once you're done, back out back to the apk manager folder. Run the script again, select optimize images, wait for it to finish, then run zip apk, then 1 (for system app). Your new apk will be in the "place here for modding" folder under the name of "repackaged-unsigned" apk. You'll need to put this on your sd card, move it to "system" first (this will allow you to change permissions), rename it to the original system apk that you're replacing. Change the permissions to rw-r-r (accessible in root explorer by long pressing the file and selecting permissions - first two boxes on the first line and only the first box on the next two lines). From here, move it into the folder where it's replacing the original apk, you should get a "do you want to overwrite", select yes. Scroll down to verify the apk has the correct permissions and that the last modified date is showing as recently. If you don't get an "overwrite" prompt, you need to move it back and correctly name it until you do get the prompt. Lastly, reboot. In some situations (e.g., modifying the Mms apk or other system applications), it would help if you cleared cache and dalvik cache (boot will take a long time). You should see your changes. Seems like a lot but it's very simple. Good luck.

I keep getting adb not found messages when i run the script. I have adb installed through sdk.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gjc5500:
So I checked system/app and there is not a systemui.apk. I haven't been able to find that apk anywhere.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Manually check via a root explorer on your phone. If you have one, entering it in adb is probably case sensitive. You'd have to enter it exactly as it appears. What ROM are you using?

[HTC Inspire 4G] Pirateghost:
Look in the ROM zip. There is definitely a SystemUI.apk there. Your adb problems sound like you don't have sdk directory in your environment path.

Im still very new to adb. I have it on the c drive along with apk manager. Should apk manager b n the same folder as sdk?

[HTC Inspire 4G] boybandtran8800:
I think you still have the H+ CONNECTION. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM TOO
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
HOLY ****! It worked. This is awesome. I havent tried a non system app, but im guessing it will work the same same except i need to sign it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Yeah! Awesome.

I've played around with non-system apps, but to this point, I've been unsuccessful trying to sign them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
Are the icons stored in only these 3 places: systemui, frameworkres & com.htc.resources? I noticed some didnt change over.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Yes, as far as I know. Anything further would be in the individual system/non-system app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cstayton:
yep, that will happen from time to time, occasionally in the apk you'll need to also edit the androidmanifest.xml or even some of the layout xml files. you have to decompile the apk in order to do that. if you have apkmanager it can decompile and recompile them for you but you need to make sure you have any frameworks in stalled acording to the instructions. if your going to edit that deeply into it though make sure you have a really good backup of the app and of your system i have inadvertantly tanked my whole rom by messing with the layouts.
[Galaxy Tab General] max2ict:
I droped my Galaxy tab and the screen is craked, however it is insured with Currys Knowhow they are not replacing it or going to fix it they gave me vouchers to the value of the product .

I went to my local Curry's to buy a new tab and was told that the original model the one that makes and receives calls has been discontinued. I am devastated I use my tab to make calls, for work, emails, diary, calender, to do, the alarm and so much more it has become part of my life. I like the tab because I only have to carry the one device. There is an alternative, I could buy the phone free model but I will still need a phone and I will be carrying two devices.

I've been told by Curry's that they will be stocking the Samsung 10" model but for me this model is to big. My question is will Samsung bring out another 7" model or is the 7" tablet dead?
[Galaxy Tab General] stoney73:
So curry's are only stocking the P-1010 wifi model now? That sucks.

Have you tried carphonewarehouse? I saw some there last week, price unknown though.
[Galaxy Tab General] rob_h:
How much are you getting for it?

You could get the new model, maybe an Asus Transformer and take it to CEX and trade for a Tab and you'd probably have a chunk of credit left over.
[Galaxy Tab General] LordLugard:
Noooooooo !!! I feel your pain. My Tab is like having an appendage. How about looking online for used ones?
[Galaxy Tab General] max2ict:
I got £499, I walked the streets of London today and visited the carphone warehouse, Johnlewis and phones 4 you and they are only selling the internet only model. I just looked at Tesco and they are selling what looks like the P1000.
[Galaxy Tab General] SimonCraddock:
Amazon uk have them
[Galaxy Tab General] beefcake5799:
probably not much good to you but you can ge them from orange too
[Galaxy Tab General] rob_h:

Then pocket the extra £220.
[Galaxy Tab General] naimmkassim:
Ooouuuwwwwwhhh!!!! that dropped thing was the worse thing could happen to a tablet :O

It never happen to me yet & keep crossing finger.

I take care my tab more than my own life. No one can touch or borrow my tab without my permission. Especially my wife & children!! (i am a bad mean person!!!!!,,,hahaha)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUNDEROID:
Hello everyone,

I have a question about htc sense in Bamf 3.0 RC4. Sometimes (90% of the time) when I use an app, or utility, then return home via home button or back button sense seems to restart. I get the white HTC splash screen and after that everything loads back up. extremely frustrating! Not sure what's causing it. maby a ram issue? Idk. I Also don't use task killers. Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

HTC Thunderbolt

Das bamf 3.0 RC4

Included kernal

MR2 radio

Thanks in advance!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Not sure, you should upgrade to the newest RC4.9, it may fix problems you are having though :cool:
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deno24:
Had same issue, try fixing permisions and if that doesnt do it load new rom such as 4.9 its realy smooth
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUNDEROID:
I'd hate to have to redo everything again just to fix this. I'll try fixing permissions again. Worst case scenario ill just flash 4.9 I guess.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deno24:
You should be able to just flash without wipeing
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUNDEROID:
Really? Just flash 4.9 right over rc4?. Wouldn't that completely over right the current ROM and everything associated with it (custom settings, home screens, etc...). Just like starting fresh.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark juggalo:
personaly I would go to 4.9 but if you dont want to do that try going to your bamf took kit and kicking down your CPU setting a notch at a time to see if that clears it up.

also if you decide to go w/4.9 go into the toolbox again and under application settings you can back up your user apps

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
Apparently you are the ignorant one. Team Bamf took their toys to another site.

To me that means questions should also go to that site since that is where the team members are. Seems like common sense to me.

How about you quit whinning about the BAMF roms not on this site. If you don't have anything useful to say just move on to the next thread. We don't care to hear your opinion on how BAMF left and you should ask this question on their site. The OP asked a question and it was resolved.

[HTC EVO 3D] xcodesterox:
I've had the 3vo since launch and lately my battery does hella fast. Whenever I check to see what has been using my battery it always says 60%+ screen and never 10%+ of anything else. I always have brightness dimmed and screen timeout at 30 seconds. Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
i know what u mean, i had the same problem but it eventually improved a bit for whatever reason. I think the main culprit is actually a wake lock thats causing the ****ty battery, not the display itself. Do you also have a high awake time?
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
The display usage being that high is actually a good thing. It means none of your other components are draining your battery excessively. The screen uses how much it is going to use and can't really run in the background and kill the battery like the cell standby, media server, and android OS could. I get great battery life, during a 10 hour shift at work my battery drops maybe 30% if I'm getting a lot of missed emails, calls, text. My display usage is 85%.

A thing to consider is that this is a percentage of battery use, not a microvolt value, so it's not really that useful for diagnosis just identification. One thing you could do is click each item listed and compare time on and CPU times listed.

Do you actually let the screen timeout every time or do you manually turn it off? Do you spend a lot of time using the 3D feature?

Basically if your phone is dying fast and display is the highest consumer, it is probably dying fast because you are using your phone a lot.
[HTC EVO 3D] Torrentula81:
It simply means that your actually using your phone. People with 30 display is pretty much sleep sleep sleep. I get about 3-4 hours of onscreen usage.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdwing:
I had one device that would drain way quick...same situation as you, with only a couple hours screen-on time. 70%+ display usage...

I took it back and forced their hand to give me a new one.

It has been working a lot better, I still use the phone just as much but it lasts much longer. It may have been a defective battery but it's probably easier to just exchange the whole device.

Good luck.
[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
oh yes, the old 'return it' solution. lol fail
[HTC EVO 3D] rdwing:
I'm pretty well versed with most diagnostic techniques to pin down what was eating the battery; believe me I tried all of it.

Sleep time was good, no apps sucking cpu cycles.

When the display was draining 30% battery per hour I figured it was a faulty display or faulty battery. Easiest solution within 30 days was to exchange.

The new one works great.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JOMOID:
My friend has a G2 but no xda account so he asked me to come here and ask you guys what's the best G2 ROM with great battery. Were going on a 14 hour trip and were going need it too last. Any advice? On ROM and kernels
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taob:
It depends on what you will be doing with it. Any ROM can be made to last 14 hours if you have a battery in good condition and only use it occasionally to check e-mail, visit a few web sites, etc. My Desire Z easily holds up to a full day that way. OTOH, if you're playing games all day long or watching 14 hours of movies, then no ROM will help. You will need an extended battery at that point, or some other way of recharging the battery.

In my experience, although people make claims about how good one ROMs battery life is over another, I have yet to see any convincing evidence. People's usage patterns and phone environment are far too different to be able to say that one particular ROM makes a consistent, noticeable difference. If anyone has actually published scientific results studying this, please point me to them.

As almost all ROMs are derived from a common code base and run on the same hardware, I would focus more on a ROMs usability, speed, feature mix and stability.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaganAng3l:
+1 to the post above. It is all predicated on how you use your phone and for what, also if you use setCPU or use the tweaKr script (like me), it depends on your profiles and governors. I personally have great battery life using the latest meXdroidMod release for the G2, but I'm very careful to always calibrate my battery between flashing roms. MeXdroidMod is the only one to my knowledge that uses waydownsouth's tweaKr script that allows you to undervolt your processor and set profiles for your CPU that react much faster than setCPU does. My advice is find a rom that you like and make sure to wipe battery stats then use the battery calibration app. Good luck and happy flashing! :D

My friend likes unity 3.0... do you think that could last? with just using the phone for texting and stuff like that?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaganAng3l:
Any sense based rom like Unity will be processor intensive, so I don't think it would last nearly as long as an ASOP build. Also the unity dev team has pulled all their download links from xda and their website, so unless you find someone willing to share I don't think you'll have much luck.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronophase1:
Exactly. I guess this is where YMMV definitely comes in handy. All the ROMs I've used I can easily get more than half a day out of them with my daily use. I shut off data when at work and turn it on on my breaks to browse the web, check emails etc.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlawkHawk:
Asking what the best ROM battery life is is like asking what the best bass for metal is (:hiding: ). It really depends on your phone, and how heavy of a user you are. But if you want an actual answer, I get the best battery life with Xboarder's Stock Gingerbread ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] richbayliss:
Hi all.

I am in the process of creating a push notification service which is available to use on Android devices. Essentially it is a simple application which you can interact with from your own application, to receive push notifications from your server-side applications. The best part about the service is that it runs of Android 1.6 and up - no Google accounts or Market is required.

To use the service, you simply send an intent to register your app to receive notifications and add a couple of intent filters to your manifest. Assuming my push service application is installed on the users device then you can receive message from our platform.

To send messages to devices, you use our API to send a JSON structure to the client ID (acquired after sending the registration intent) and your application ID and our platform will deliver it for you.

The aim here is to provide a push service which will allow developers to target older Android platforms (and non-Android platforms infact) with push enabled services - and by using our platform the end-user isnt affected by have lots of open network channels.

I am still beta testing the system, so PM me if you would like to get started, but I am hoping to make the service available for free (providing I can raise enough funds somehow) after the beta is finished.

If you would like to get hold of the application, it is already available in the Android Market as "CloudSquirt Push Service" or https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cloudsquirt.android

You can flash a multi-csc firmware from samfirmware and when done, enter

When done, KIES will update your firmware again.

[Motorola Droid 3] Immolate:
Perhaps not random, but possibly keyboard related. I believe I have experienced at least three, perhaps more reboots at various times. I just had one a minute ago when I opened my keyboard from a sleep state (dark screen). My lockscreen had what looked like a Droid X background which caught my attention, then after a couple of seconds, it rebooted.

As I mentioned, this has happened at least twice before, but always when I was trying to do something and (I believe) involving the keyboard. I've never had it reboot in the middle of anything, so the impact is negligible. Add to that how FAST the D3 reboots, it's a very minor annoyance. My old Tbolt used to do that as well, but the reboot time was probably three or four times as long, and it sometimes did it in the middle of something.

Has anyone else experienced this? If you have, sound off and perhaps we can get Moto's attention. If it's just me, then that's great news and I doubt I'll do anything about it since the impact is so minor.

It's hard not to notice since it makes the "Droid" noise when it reboots. Assuming you don't have the same sound assigned to a notification of course.
