[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Does anyone have experience modifying the battery icon .png files? I've been messing around with the default battery icons to add % to them (just the basic 5%,10%,...,90%,95%). I add them back to framework-res.apk and all is well, they show up fine, but the color of the battery background seems to be just a tad off now, like it's a richer (deeper) green than the charging battery color or network bar color. You can only notice when looking at them side by side on the phone. No color difference shows up on the computer. I'm not editing any colors at all, simply adding the numbers and replacing the stock files.

Running CM7 nightly #166.

Any ideas? TIA.

battery color is perfect when charging (didn't edit those)

battery color is deeper green showing % (my edited icon)

Okay, restored my backup from before I edited these.

Look at the battery color in stock CM7. It matches the other colors next to it.

Is there a way to get cool lockscreens (additional than what's built into the rom)? I like the lockscreens on the galaxy s phones but see when searching that it's impossible without using metamorph and most say it has to be built into the rom. Would the team working on cyanogenmod be able to add these if they had the files or something?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] MN_Bug:
This is not a "how to root" post.

I finally said F it and installed clockworkmod and flashed a ROM but I just did a basic one to get my feet wet.

My basic question is how do ROM upgrades get installed. Say I install the latest EaglesBlood ROM and there is an update for it. Do I have to do a complete data/cache clear and re-flash with the newest ROM or is there some sort of updater or is each developer different?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
That really depends on what was updated. Most of the time if you are upgrading to a newer version of the same rom, you can get away with just flashing over it, and keeping your data intact. Clearing /cache and the dalvik-cache is recommended. However this is not always the case. Some changes require data wipes to be effective. Usually best to ask in the rom's thread if a wipe is needed.

Also, sometimes you can just do a nandroid backup, install new rom, then reboot into cwm and do an advanced restore just restoring the data partition. Again, it really depends on the rom, and what was upgraded.
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
UPDATE: Apparently it is only possible to change the CID with S-ON if your current CID is SuperCID.

*issue closed*

I had used Revolutionary to de-brand my phone. First S-OFF, then SuperCID, then a stock unbranded ROM, then back to S-ON.

I wasn't getting the OTA to 2.3.4 here in The Netherlands, so I changed my CID to HTC__E11, which is the CID for an unbranded Sensation in The Netherlands. Lo and behold, I got the OTA immediately.

Interesting to note, I was able to change the CID using "fastboot oem writecid HTC__E11" with S-ON. Someone else was able to do exactly the same thing so it's confirmed to work.

Now that I have upgraded to 2.3.4 and have my CID set to HTC__E11, this no longer works for me. However I'm wondering if it *does* work for people still on 2.3.3, or if it only worked for me because I was already SuperCID. I wonder if others who are still on 2.3.3 are able to use "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" with S-ON (i.e. without using Revolutionary).

So, using adb tools on a stock ROM:

NOTE: If you test this you do so at your own risk.

0. download and unzip adb tools to a folder. make sure HTC Sync is not running (uninstall, or just exit/kill the application).

1. open command prompt and "cd" your adb folder

2. ensure your phone is switched on (regular home screen) and connect it by USB in charging mode (ensure usb debugging is on settings).

3. enter the command "adb devices". This is to confirm your phone is connected. (It should come back with list of devices attached and your serial number)

4. enter the command "adb reboot-bootloader". (nothing further required device WILL reboot in bootloader)

5. enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"

6. enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot the bootloader)

7. enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]

8. enter the command "fastboot reboot"

9. you should now be able to flash any stock ROM you like.

NOTE: Please DO NOT change your CID to HTC__E11 unless you are in The Netherlands. HTC__E11 is the CID for an unbranded Sensation in The Netherlands. If you are in a different country, check for the appropriate CID here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195475&page=3.
[HTC Sensation] kmdub:
Yes, I have. In fact I believe that method is in one of the tutorials here.

Here is a link that describes it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
No, that tutorial uses Revolutionary first to go from S-ON to S-OFF before changing the CID. I was able to change my CID with S-ON.
[HTC Sensation] zahashingo123:
so I'm changing my cid to 11111111?

not HTC__E11?
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
11111111 is the SuperCID. HTC__E11 is the CID for unbranded Sensations in The Netherlands. If you don't use the SuperCID, you may want to refer to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195475&page=3 for a list of CIDs.

I changed to the SuperCID using Revolutionary to first get S-OFF. Then I set S-ON. But even with S-ON, I was still able to change my CID (I changed it to HTC__E11 in order to receive the OTA to 2.3.4.).

So what I'm wondering is if people with 2.3.3 and S-ON are able to change their CID to the SuperCID 11111111, without first using Revolutionary to change to S-OFF.
[HTC Sensation] kmdub:
Ok, I must have misunderstood your question. It seems as if you have clarified your question since your original post. I just thought you were asking if one could write the CID without Revolutionary. My bad. FYI, I have not tried what you are asking.

A statement like this, though, I don't really understand. Two questions come to mind: 1) How did you set S-ON? and 2) Were you able to confirm that you wrote a new CID with S-ON, or did you just not get an error message?
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
I set S-ON using the instructions on how to set S-ON here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and I confirmed it during reboot, the text "S-ON" was back on the boot screen.

I wrote the new CID with S-ON, then confirmed it by rebooting and running the command "fastboot getvar cid", which gave me the phone's CID, which indeed was the new CID I'd written. In addition, with the new CID (unbranded Dutch, instead of SuperCID), I immediately got the OTA to 2.3.4.
[HTC Sensation] xtcislove:
Someone need to test this with a stock phone!

Or try to set secureflag to 1 maybe its not really changed ...
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
That's exactly what I'm asking people to do.

What's your problem, can't you read? I wrote already, the phone reports "S-ON" in the boot screen, and after a reboot, it still reports the new CID, and after setting the new CID, I got the Netherlands OTA immediately.
[HTC Sensation] supendal:
I tried it with stock s-on phone and it doesn't work.

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot oem writecid 11111111
...
(bootloader) pyramid_init_sd, SD card already power on

It still reports same cid.
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Thanks for testing this - just to confirm, you tested with 2.3.3 and not 2.3.4, right?

If so, then it seems to imply that you can change the CID even with S-ON but only if you currently have SuperCID.
[HTC Sensation] kmdub:
Then I have no idea. I would not think one could write a new CID with S-ON, regardless of the ROM. However, you have tried it and claim it works, so someone with more knowledge will have to explain why...lol

I notice in the tutorial it says "secureflag 3," which at least gives you S-ON displayed, and perhaps does set the security back on. I wonder what 0,1,and 2 do, though. Is it 0,1,2, or 3 on stock phone with S-ON?
[HTC Sensation] supendal:
Yes, tested on stock s-on phone and stock 2.3.3 rom. 2.3.4 Ota update is still not available here.
[HTC Sensation] lexuz:
well i do also have s-on and managed to change cid to HTC__E11 with adb and also like the OP can't seem to change it back to what it was (stock sensation with 1.50...rom) does the cid mathers in terms of warranty and ota updates??? (i'm in the netherlands)

regards

edit:well OTA updates do work on my side but still no luck changing the CID again.
[HTC Sensation] lexuz:
nobody here that can decifer this one??
[HTC Sensation] Gstar2006:
I have a sendation xe with hboot 1.18 and s-on.

I used the commands to change CID from HTC__038 to HTC__001.

I still don't receive the OTA update on my phone though.

The phone was bought from Hong Kong but from using the CID Getter app it shows CID at the top as HTC__001 now but when you scroll through the data there are still reference to it being an indian phone.

I am looking to change it to stock Euro gingerbread with CID 001 so that I can receive the OTA ICS update.

I can't use revolutionary to change to S-OFF as always fails. I can't install the RUU for euro GB as it gives an error when I try to run it.

Not having any joy asking people for help so far either.

Hi, I was wondering if you had to pick a Window 7 phone from AT&T's current selections what would you pick? I've had problems with my Focus in as far as signal quality, I keep losing calls. I haven't had problems with other phones and friends don't seem to have a problem here either. I've had several Focus replacements and now they have offered me a Surround instead. I've hear the battery in that is horrible and the sound also sucks. What current Window 7 phone would you choose based on Signal quality?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
Bought a surround when it came out. Phone quality, battery life and sound quality is very very good. Upgraded to nodo, then mango then mango b2. Everything working perfectly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Zurvv:
If a keyboard is something you might like... (or a really cheap unlocked phone) you might wanna take a look @ the Dell Venue Pro (DVP).

A firmware a week or so ago fixed the out standing problems with it.

Clearly it is a little fat because of the keyboard, but it has a really nice 4.1" AMOLED screen. Nice speakers too.

16gig unlocked model is only $299 (either off dell ebay or the dell site).

They have PCS (att) and AWS (t-mobile) versions.

It is a drop down keybaord (vs the side shooting one)

http://www.dell.com/us/p/mobile-ven...&baynote_bnrank=0&baynote_irrank=0&redirect=1

you can also get another $100 off it if you some else @ dell.

also, is the call dropping from the phone or AT&T... it isn't unheard of for AT&T to drop calls :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Fiberop:
AT&T is allowing me to exchange for another phone because of my problems with this one with constant dropped calls. They have offered me the Surround but I'm not sure if they will offer me a just released phone. I'll ask though. I was just wondering if the Surround was any good of if I should ask for another Windows 7 phone?
