Ok Ok! Now it works perfectly!

Thankssssssssssss
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
I have a question for the xda community hopefully you guys can help me out: ok so i have been charging my tab in my car using both the cigarete lighter and ac outlet, but i have noticed that it discharges faster than it charges, for example if i am using the gps while charging the tab the tabs battery will drain. On the other hand if i am charging the tab at home on a regular wall outlet it charges fine. In comparison my samsung galaxy s charges fine in the car via the cigarete lighter. I am using the original charger that came with the tab. Any ideas as to why it drains faster than it charges? Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
The Galaxy Tab USB port is wired slightly differently to other USB ports, which results in only getting a trickle-charge from regular USB cables. You need something like this...

http://cgi.ebay.in/USB-car-wall-charger-adapter-plug-Samsung-Galaxy-TAB-/190522553195

I can't vouch for that particular seller, but I have one of those adaptors and it makes all the difference when plugging into anything USB.

Incidentally, when you say you're using the charger that came with the tablet, are you saying that it came with a car charger? I've not heard of that before.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iarapilot:
Check the output of the charger. It should put out 2000mA. It should be written somewhere on the charger.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
What I meant was that I am using both the cable and adapter that came with the tab on the car ac outlet
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donaldson:
@johncmolyneux

I had read that the port was wired differently. Thanks for the link into ebay for the charger adapter. For the price, it's worth checking out.

[REQ] (since settings>privacy is gone) Mod so txts don't show/scroll on lock screen

Sorry for the long-winded title, but for whatever reason I no longer have the "Privacy" screen that used to be in Settings>Privacy under "Lockscreen" and "Display message text":

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15544620&postcount=10

Why would that now be missing and can someone possibly find a way to get that setting back? I don't need it on a toggle setting like in that screenshot, would rather it just always be that way. Thanks in advance for any input.
[EVO 4G Android Development] github:
Have you asked/looked in the Themes and Mods section?
[EVO 4G Android Development] EindhovenOne:
I did and found nothing except a mod to move the scroll from the notification bar to the bottom of the lock screen. There is nothing regarding not showing the text on the lock screen whatsoever. That Settings>Privacy setting did just that but now it is gone for whatever reason.

Your question belongs in the thread for the ROM you're running.

I have the setting to which you're referring in the ROM I'm running.

Please PM a mod to delete this thread, and ask the question in the correct thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EindhovenOne:
There are other Evo users who are running STOCK gb who also lost that setting so it doesn't seem to be specific to my ROM whatsoever:

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :D. I hate being able to read the whole message before i open it. also, people use my phone, i dont want them seeing my stuff like that
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Either way, your post belongs in Q&A, or General, as it's not Development.

To troubleshoot any type of issue like this, the first step is always to see if it's like that before you make any mods. I would advise you to do a nandroid backup of your current setup, and then wipe everything and re-flash the ROM. If the Setting is there on a fresh flash, then one of your mods is causing the issue. If it's not, then it would have to be a ROM (or device) issue.

Have you tried that?

You could also full wipe and try flashing the ROM linked in my signature, since I've confirmed that the setting exists. If it doesn't exist for you, on a fresh flash, full/complete wipe (everything except SD card), then the issue lies elsewhere (i.e. not the ROM)
[EVO 4G Android Development] leo72793:
Not being rude, obscene but this kinda of sounds just like the sprint reps stuff like a computerized generated responce, also it is there getting no talk because nobody truly reads the Q&A section. I have the issue also.

once again NOT being rude or obscene just stating a thought about stuff
[EVO 4G Android Development] github:
Regardless if anyone reads Q&A or not, that is where this post belongs... well at least there or Themes/Mod. It looks like there already is a post about this in Q&A too.

Also, I beg to differ. If you look at General and Q&A, both are very frequently traveled. Almost every question asked has a reply of some sort.

As to OP, it seems to be 2.3.3 specific, so you would have to ask someone to mod this or ask HTC to fix it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EindhovenOne:
+1 github and leo...Throwback, I wasn't meaning any disrespect or back-talk, but i also think this belongs right here. It isn't a theme or an app, it is a feature that disappeared in the latest update for whatever reason. Github, thank you for the input. I don't know why that page went away and I guess I'll just wait to see if someone can mod it but in the meantime I'll contact HTC and see if I can make any headway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] theidlemonk:
I think there is a mod for this by steelh himself...you can get to it from the lock screen mod thread pinned in the themes and apps section...might be the one you need.

That's correct. There's a mod from JsChiSurf for Froyo and I ported it over to GB.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] lzhikai1994:
Basically its a timer app made by me with Mousehunt in mind. The sounding of horn button is a link that will open in the browser that you set as default. It will automatically sound it for you.

Instructions:

Press "set timer" to set the timer to start the countdown.

Press home to do other stuff.

Check back when you think is about 15mins.

Press sound the horn.

Made using Android Inventor.

Problems:

-Pressing back button will close the app. Use home button instead.

-If the time you press the "Set timer" is 45th - 60th minute of the hour, it will have a bug. This is due to the timer being hooked onto the minutes of your clock.

Used mybackuppro to wipe cache of everything and froze some bloat and now messaging app no longer shows contact pics even though the pics are synced in contact list.

Btw wiping cache of HTC checkin service makes phone reboot!

I unfroze everything but it didn't fix it, still no contact pics in messaging app. Also tried wiping app data for messaging. No go.

I don't want to wipe phone data over this. Any ideas?

Editing the status bar.

Now that you can see what needs fixing in the status bar we will decompile your original (backup) systemui.apk and edit the xmls. I will assume you have apkmanager and know how to use it. There are other guides for that so I won't go to deep into it. Look here for a video tutorial on apkmanager.

Decompile systemui.apk

Make edits to XMLs.

These are the edits I make most often.

After making your xml edits recompile, be sure to delete the edited files and resources.arsc from the keep folder during recompiling. If you don't you won't see any changes.

If you compiled with no errors you're good to go. If you have errors then you have a mistake in your code. You can check the apkmanager log for line number errors.

Once recompiled you will have unsignedSystemUI.apk in your place_here_for_modding folder. Open it in winRAR along with your previous version of SystemUI.apk from the first draft and drag the images from the first draft drawable-hdpi folder into the new unsignedSysemUI.apk's corresponding folder, overwriting the images there. Now rename unsignedSystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk and overwrite your first draft version. This is your second draft SystemUI.apk and we will create a second draft framework-res.apk in the next step using these same steps.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
Editing the framework.

We will now decompile your original (backup) framework-res.apk and edit the xmls. Again using apkmanager.

Decompile systemui.apk

Make edits to XMLs.

These are the edits I make most often.

After making your xml edits recompile, be sure to delete the edited files and resources.arsc from the keep folder during recompiling. If you don't you won't see any changes.

If you compiled with no errors you're good to go. If you have errors then you have a mistake in your code. You can check the apkmanager log for line number errors.

Now following the same steps as we did for SystemUI we will overwrite the images in the new unsignedframework-res.apk with those from the first draft framework-res.apk. By dragging from one winRAR window to the other. Once you've done that rename the new apk and overwrite the first draft version. Create a new update zip, using "store" or "none", and flash it. You should now see the text edits you just made.

Advanced Tips

.9 Images.

--If a .9.png is all (every pixel) one color then the .9 patch does not matter.

Hex editing.

--It is not always necessary to decompile to make text color or slider edits. Instead if know what color you're looking for you can use a hex editor to make the edits.

--For instance, to change text colors without decompiling you would.

Open framework-res.apk in winRAR.

Extract resources.arsc

Open resources.arsc in a hex editor.

Search for the color in this format BB GG RR AA, as opposed to usual aarrggbb. (Red = ffff0000 = 00 00 FF FF)

Replace with desired color following same format.

Save and overwrite original by dragging new version into winRAR.

--To change slider colors without decompiling you would.

Open framework-res.apk in winRAR.

Extract /res/drawable/progress_horizontal.xml

Open progress_horizontal.xml in a hex editor.

Search for 08 00 00 1C.

After each instance examine the next four pairs.

The first few will be grey but eventually youll come to a color.

That's where you start editing. (6 total)

Replace with desired color following same format.

Save and overwrite original by dragging new version into winRAR.

Png sizes

Okay do the PNG/.9.png from the ported theme have to be the same size as the ones in the Atrix drawable-hdpi?

Thanks a lot on the tutorial it helped me figure out how to edit the XMl files.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
Not necessarily. As long as the .9 patch is ok then it should work. though it may look weird if theres a themed background. such as a aosp buuton on motoblur background. trial and error is your best bet there.

Yes, those are in the /system directory so it will work. Just make sure to put them in the right folder (framework). That disclaimer is more for those editing something in /data.

How to "undo" MotoBlurs Status Bar

As many of you themers out there have mostly likely noticed, Moto has screwed with the Status Bar layout in GingerBread which makes theming difficult. I will show you how to revert to the way it was in Froyo.

I will show you you how to perform these edits:

Change the Date Background back to status_bar_header_background.

Change the Title Background back to title_bar_portrait.

1. Decompile SystemUI.apk

2. Open /res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml

3. Compile SystemUI.apk, be sure to delete the old status_bar_expanded.xml from the keep folder.

4. Done.

I came into this android world with guns.blazing. a fresh newb and learnt to flash/root/oc etc. At one point I had stayed up 4 days in a row (using a different,but similar guide) trying to tweak a theme. Hell I was only trying to change the battery icon! I never got it,till this day. In gonna give it another shot (havent tried in months) using this guide. If finally get it,ill post a very detailed step by step video on youtube. One question though,when adding the icon I want to the framework folder,do I delete the one already there,or just let it overwrite? Thats one thing I never understood fully
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
Im thinking you mean in the decompiled projects folder. you overwrite the image in that folder but during recompiling when given the prompt, you delete the old one from the keep folder. if you delete it from keep it will replace it with the one from the project.

I'm trying to change the text color from black to white. I have HxD installed on my computer. What exactly would I be looking for to edit?

Edit: I figured it out but there was no change. Do you know which xml controls the color of the text in the notification area when you're in a call?

Which xml files should i change if i want to make status bar header background show as image instead of just color?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
You may find them by editing resources.arsc with a hex editor. resources.arsc is where all the values/xmls are compiled to.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
On GingerBread it is called title_bar_portrait.9.png in framework.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Notorious544d:
Does this guide include theming the keyboard? I love the motorola multi touch keybaord.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
Yes, the keyboard's pretty much the same as any other apk. The things you'll want to look for are the button imgs in drawables-hdpi and the landscape drawables folder as well. Also in values/colors, I believe, is the suggested word color.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Notorious544d:
How do I rip the APK out? Can you send it to me by any chance via PM?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
The keyboard is LatinIME.apk, you can find it in the DarkSide installer or the Aura installer.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Notorious544d:
OK, I've now themed the keyboard, so how do I install it onto my phone? I've zipped it and through CWM, when I try to install, it aborts it.

How do I install it?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
You have to add it to then .zip file with "store" set for the compression. In other words, you do not want the file compressed at all.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Notorious544d:
I did do that. But I think I know what I did wrong. I removed the original LatinIME.apk from system... Shall I restore it back then try to flash it?

EDIT: Wait! I'm using 7zip, how do I store zip it? There's only an option saying 'compress and .zip.'
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
Don't know, sorry I use winrar
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Notorious544d:
I just realised that I was theming an .apk file. Will I need to convert it into an .apk file to flash?

Easiest thing do is grab a flashable .zip like the 1% battery modd.... never mind, just use the empty flashable .zip file below, and place your .apk files in the correct folder (not forgetting to set the compression to none/store).

P.S. Ignore the Alien text or whatever text it says when installing in CWM... I just never changed the text from whatever the original .zip was used for.
