I JUST MANAGED TO INSTALL A THEME WOOhOO :)

now how to do it:

1.copy the SystemUi.apk,framework-res.apk etc. on you SD Card

2.Use a File Explorer that can change permissions (I used Root Explorer from market,pm me for a link if you don't have money to buy it)

3.Copy SystemUi.apk to /System not /system/app and there change the permissions to rw-r--r-- (Be carefull , i accidentaly left rw-r--r-x and it didn't work)

4.Now replace the SystemUi.apk from system/app/ with the one from /system/

5.You will need to restart the phone (i couldn't because many Force Closes so i removed the battery then placed back) and now you have the new Notification Bar

6.Now do the 2-3-4-5 steps with framework-res.apk and this time the phone will restart itself after you copy it.

Where SystemUi.apk and Framework-res.apk go:

SystemUi.apk => /system/app

Framework-res.apk => /system/framework
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
On a side note to this I had a little fun with ninjamorph and changed colors on some .png's in both systemui and framework-res and ended up with nearly all my apps fc'ing. Couldn't get adb to remount and got a permissions denied error. Then did a adb shell instaed and that worked. Check link for command's:

[Atrix 4G General] con_ritmo:
noticed today that on dark colors a thin gray border will appear all around the screen. it is quite annoying....and affects anything displayed on the atrix...well mine at least...and at least a few others too im sure...

i first noticed it with the menu buttons on opera mobile...thought it wad a design element but rather it is a display limitation.

attached is a darkish background downloaded from google images. view and zoom the picture to fill the entire screen. on my atrix the gray border is as clear as day...how bout for you guys?

edit: this isnt backlight bleed nor qhd compatibility issues...it is an actual thin gray line that appears on the screen.
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
Nope. Just you.

Sent from the coolest voided warranty phone ever.
[Atrix 4G General] ethantarheels123:
thats because the atrix screen is not an led screen, it is a tft screen. the atrix screen illuminates from the edges around the screen while led screens such as amoleds from samsung illuminated from small diodes behind the screen. its brighter around the edges because it is being lit up from the sides.
[Atrix 4G General] Anthonok:
No. Its not just him. There was a thread about this before. I for one have the issue but don't notice it 99% of the time.

Sent from my Atrix running CM7
[Atrix 4G General] con_ritmo:
it isnt backlight bleed...it is an actual thin gray line that goes around the entire screen...but it only appears when theres a darkish color present at that location. when the background is pure 100pct black it doesnt show up though.

on my phone it is very apparent when viewing the attachment pic in the op and zooming in so that it fills the screen.
[Atrix 4G General] bk858:
Well I'm glad to hear it's not just me. And yes, it's very noticeable and really distracting when I'm watching a video.
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
Try again.
[Atrix 4G General] datumdei:
I had the same issue with my Atrix. Went to an AT&T device support center and they swapped it out with a brand new Atrix and the new device does not have this issue. It seems the banding/border issue is affecting a small number of those devices.
[Atrix 4G General] silentecho13:
I didn't have banding initially, but over time the problem seemed to become more apparent, especially after the gingerbread OTA.
[Atrix 4G General] shirzadians:
Likewise
[Atrix 4G General] vinay427:
Same here. I've never noticed it before but now that I'm running the cm7 pre beta it's quite obvious.
[Atrix 4G General] con_ritmo:
how long did you own the atrix before you swapped it out? just wondering since this atrix is about half a year old now...
[Atrix 4G General] taitrt:
I just came here to ask about this... I've had my atrix for about 2 days and this is quite distracting.

I probably need to lock bootloader and unroot if I want to get a new phone right?
[Atrix 4G General] taitrt:
Here's a quick shot of it.
[Atrix 4G General] Daniel_GB:
i just can see this bandings on ur photo with full brightness!

its not important! take it easy!

i think its because of LCD!
[Atrix 4G General] OSNPA:
CM7 doesn't support qHD, might be why.
[Atrix 4G General] con_ritmo:
yes! that's the problem exactly...should spread that pic around so people are aware. look at the ghostly rectangle that is created...can see it clearly even on normal brightness. maybe you can find a non-affected atrix like datumdei did...
[Atrix 4G General] slimslim:
I would relate it to the gingerbread update. I didn't have it before in Froyo and I tried everything to replicate it, now I can also see it. They must've tune the colors, saturation and other settings because now I don't see the gradient banding in the calculator app and even the XDA app isn't that obvious anymore.
[Atrix 4G General] slimslim:
Mine isn't that wide, only about 1/8th of an inch.
[Atrix 4G General] tonyt76:
Hey guys, i just got my Atrix yesterday and only notice this when the screen is grey. At first I thought it was screen burn-in from a static image, but after finding this page I feel better knowing its not just me.

Are there any other web pages that you have found related to this issue?

Also, could the android market update have caused this?

If you want to test to see if your phone is doing this, downlod dead pixel test from the android market and tap the screen until it turns grey.

I was going to ask this in the root thread but I can't post there yet. Is there a way to enable wireless tether to work without it redirecting to the verizon site?
[Xperia Play General] antispiral:
Anyone know a way?
[Xperia Play General] ryocoon:
Technically, we are not a fan of provisioning yourself features that haven't been paid for. That said, using secondary methods like Barnacle or having an altered kernel that performs said HotSpot methods differently than the native.

However, you may want to note that Verizon is now actively looking for all these methods and trying to circumvent them. So YMMV, and watch your back.
[General Questions and Answers] JadeSoturi:
Hi.

Tried searching but could not find anything that fits. Can't ask the developer of the ROM I'm running either, since I need at least 10 posts to replay in dev section.

I'm running [XXKG6] LeoMar75 Rom Revolution v2.4 with nephetamine 2.0.2

All is good, but the picture frame looses all content after reboot. It just shows"tap to add a picture". But tapping it does not work. Nothing happens. Like its frozen or something. I need to delete the widget and re-add it again for it to work. But on the next reboot - same story.

So any suggestions as to what and why would be nice.

Thanks in advance:)

I have a class 6 micro SD ;)

I mean the TV off screen animation when you turn off the screen (like on old TVs... you know). I have automatic brightness on SE rom :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] XxLordxX:
So try making a multiboot for it then install another ROM, with a "screen (tv) off" animation ;)

kernel version -2.6.29-00236-g4f8dbbb-dirty (really does say dirty)

build number - WMT1.9_710Cu

Now i no that its a piece of S##T.

BUT......

for the love of god has anyone cracked the thing yet.

I cant root it (it must have a magic hamster blocking it somehow.)

app market looks like it was made by windows 95. and doesn't work.

the manual says it plays a few audio/video formats (mp3,flac,avi,mp4 etc etc) but that`s just a big lie.

please please please help.

i just wanna use it as a e-reader/watch the odd movie and listen to some tunes but it wont even do that properly.

ideally. . . .

1) i wanna root it.

2) flash a new sexy rom onto it.

3) maybe read a book on it.

thanks everyone

EDIT. . . . .

in the last half hour ive managed to root the thing with z4root but cant flash rom manager as it wont tell me its generic model . . . . .grrrr

how to remove voodoo lagfix recovery form my phone?

I have to update my phone with official verizon update file but every time that i downloaded the update and when it rebooted for install, the voodoo thing poping up and update failing.

Just create a file (file name is disable-lagfix) under /sdcard/Voodoo.

You can use root explorer to create that file.

And then reboot.

Or in CWM recovery, use toggle option (disable voodoo for next time boot).

Hello,

a friend gave me hier "bricked" fon. I could get it booting again, system is up and running - but with any sdcard. Not the external and neither the internal one.

That means I cant put a SAPIMG.nph or anything else to the sdcard.

I cant download an apk or modify anything.

adb shell is working, but certainly su not.

adb push hboot_2010_signed.img /sdcard

certainly doesnt work either, there is no sdcard!

ok, I tried now different fastboot operations.

to come closer:

./fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan.img

sending 'recovery' (4528 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)

... etc... all the normal stuff.. nothing wortks, I usualy get "Not allowed on a production phone"

[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
I read a lot of people were claiming much better data reception with the Photon over their old phone, so I thought I'd put it to the test. My old phone was an Evo4G and I still have one in the house in use (completely stock running Android 2.3), so I did a side-by-side comparison test to the Photon and this is what I got using SpeedTest.net:

Tests on 3G network

Evo4G: 279kbps/157kbps/1026ms (download/upload/ping)

Photon4G: 401kbps/211kbps/ 793ms (download/upload/ping)

Results: Photon was 44% faster on download, 34% faster on upload and 23% faster ping

Tests on 4G network

Evo4G: 3203kbps/188kbps/357ms (download/upload/ping)

Photon4G: 6454kbps/563kbps/274ms (download/upload/ping)

Results: Photon was 101% faster on download, 199% faster on upload and 23% faster ping

It is also important to note that the Evo had a lot of trouble running the test in 3G because the signal was so weak. For each good test it took about 10 tries while the Photon had no problems and I never had to retry a test in 3G on the Photon. Results shown are the average of the fastest 8 runs out of 10. This is except for the Evo 3G runs which were the average of only 6 runs because of the difficulty I had getting it to run at all on 3G. Thus, the 3G runs are biased towards the Evo since I removed more than two very slow runs and the differences on 3G may be understated (Evo may be slower than I am reporting on 3G).

Conclusion: Data Reception Rocks on the Photon4G!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cannibalslug:
This is what I've seen in numerous reviews and although I can't get a hold of one myself yet to do my own testing against my aging Epic, customers have been complaining of reception issues. Any word on others who might be experiencing this issue around you? It might just be a bad batch received.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
What he was saying is, reception is great on the photon. And i agree. This is the best reception I've had on a sprint phone.

Loving this Mopho!
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
You misread the data. The Photon is much faster than the Evo4G. The higher the uploading and downloading numbers, the faster the data transfer. The smaller the ping number, the faster the data transfer. The Photon was faster in all measurements.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tx_dbs_tx:
I will confirm AGAIN that the Motorola Photon absolutely has much better signal strength and faster, more stable data connection on 3G and 4G. This is the main reason I choose to keep it and put my EVO 3D back in the box and in my bottom drawer.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tx_dbs_tx:
Wow that's impressive! How can anybody argue with that, being you have tested with all those different phones? Good to know. Thanks.

PS: Shhhh.... keep it on the DL!!! Let's hope Sprint doesn't get wind of this awesome reception or they will probably pull a Verizon and cripple the hell out of it so it barely works. Then we're all back to craptastic again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullinthechinashop:
I have to disagree with you about the Photon's reception 'cause mine SUCKS. I tried updating my profile and it didn't help. I tried updating my PRL several times and each time I got an error. I even tried going to a different part of the hous to update my PRL and it still failed with an error.

I can't even get this phone to connect to the market! Everytime I try I either get a timed out message or a no connection message.

And to add insult to injury it won't let me do a factory reset ( so I can return this piece f junk) until the battery is at 25%. The stupid thing has been on the charger for at least 45 minutes and it won't go past 20%.

On the positive side the voice connection seeems to work just fine. But I didn't get this to be a voice only phone I got it because every review I read said that it had fantastic data reception.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
Sounds like you have an issue with something. Check my thread about faster data speeds see if that helps. Click my name to view my topics.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullinthechinashop:
Thanks but I already returned it.

I really think I'm gonna just have to bite the bulle & pay Sprint's ETF so I can try T-Mobile. I'm having even worse reception problems on my Epic 4G.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
Why did u return it...it was software or hardware related.....photons kill on signal

U should of tried a full wipe and restore if that didn't fix it then warranty the phone
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
Even worse on Epic = Photon Reception is *****in :)

But before you pay the ETF maybe you should just go grab a t-mo phone on contract for a day or two, see if the signal works for you, if it does then drop sprint and have your number ported to Tmo. This could save you the ETF if TMo isn't any better.

Depending on your area, TMos network signal will probably be stronger since they are GSM - takes less antenna to cover area with GSM than CDMA.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullinthechinashop:
I did two factory resets & it didn't make any difference.

I might try another Photon. I called Sprint about my EVO 4g's reception problems & they were able to get it working again.

I don't know why I didn't think to try that with the Photon. That was a very nice phone :(

Or maybe I'll crawl back to Verizon. Verizon just installed a new tower by me in august and they have 4G in my area.

Both times phone was rooted, to Sprint it had a stock looking rom with superusers though etc, they didn't say anything.

Gave phone to Best Buy, with a Sense 3.0 rom on it, she even mentioned "This looks like my Evo3d" and i told her I was rooted and was running a sense3.0 rom etc etc and she was all "cool."

however i got my phone back from both places and they were refurbs and i obviously lost my roots.

Most recently I got my refurb phone with the 2.3 OTA so no root anymores.

I guess it depends on who you return it to, but on both of my occasions, both for the same reason, even at about the same time span...they didn't say anything negative or 'sorry we can't help you' etc.
