[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpe:
Yesterday I picked the phone from my pocket, and on the display it said that the unlock code had been entered incorrectly. As I always do I entered the code, but this time it said that I would have to wait 30 seconds for my next attempt as I had entered the wrong code five times. I did, but still it won't accept the code. I know it is the right one because I use the same code as my SIM PIN, which works perfectly fine. Also, my SO knows the code, and when asked to unlock the phone she correctly responded with "it doesn't seem to work?"

I'm using Lite'ning ROM, and on other foras I've read that it is possible to have the device reset through the same screen where the code is entered. On my screen the only option is to type the code, and a button for emergency calls. No "recover password" button. Still, by accident I found out that I could access the phone by pressing the home button twice, which would take me to the voice dialing menu, and it would then be possible to use it as normal until the screen is locked again.

Today, I did a CWM factory/data/cache reset, and reflashed an old backup. Still, it asked for the pin, and said that I had entered the incorrect one. I searched, and found out that to get rid of this I would have to flash a stock ROM. I did, and ended up in the notoric boot loop. The fix for this is apparently to wipe user data from stock recovery, but this requires the password mentioned earlier. Which means I'm stuck.

I tried reflashing the backup I had of the Lite'ning ROM, and wipe data/factory reset from there, but it still does not work with the stock rom.

So:

Any ideas? Is my only option to go to a service center and have it fixed? Will it be a problem that I've unlocked and reflashed it?

Are there other ways to do the data/factory reset? (Through Odin?)

Thanks a ton for any help!

TL;DR: Unlock code entered incorrectly in pocket, phone locked, unable to access wipe functionality and therefore not able to reflash stock rom -> ****ed.

If it's the same issue experienced by someone else on these forums, the solution given here was to keep typing wrong passwords.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpe:
It seems to be related, but I now did 50 attempts (where one has to wait 30 sec between every 5 failed passwords), and nothing happens. Will try to repost in the thread you mentioned, and see if they can provide a better explanation.

Anyone else have any clue?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpe:
Got it to work!

Basically, the post oinkylicious linked to had the solution. The password/PIN they are referring to is the one that we are prompted to enter when trying to do a data/factory reset from stock recovery. After a number of tries it will say that if you type the password wrong once more it might delete contents on your SD card. What I did was remove the SD card, and continue to enter wrong passwords. After a while it will the show some text (can't remember what), and let you go through with the data/factory reset.

When i take a picture even though the screen before the picture is 3d, as soon as i take it, it goes 2d and looks like there is 3 versions of the picture all moved along eachother.

The switch on the side is set to 3d...

Any one else experiencing this?
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Have you reboot your phone yet to see if the fixes it ?
[HTC EVO 3D] Dan-SRi:
Yeah tried that.. Still the same...
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Sometimes the 3D gets buggy on my phone. It will get fixed with a complete reboot. Try rebooting more than once, or turn of fastboot and then reboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] Moonbloom:
I found out that you can't do a "full" reboot without doing a battery pull.

It seems like the phone is never really turned off if you don't do a battery pull.

Take the battery out and put it back in than then try and power the phone on, and see if that helps the problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] Dan-SRi:
Thanks to both of you.

My battery was low, (about 15%), so i charged it to 50%, turned off, took battery out for 10 seconds, replaced it, turned on and its fine!

So i dont know if its a low battery thing or what as the photos i took were still weird at 50% but it took 3d and is 3d after!

Weird...

I hope this little tutorial from Average Joes will help the many questions about how to change the Notification Dropdown Text Color.

I have been on a mission for a couple of months to figure this beast out. Read many threads, PM'd many others. Alot of info is out there about how to change the text color for notification dropdown for Sense 2.0 and Sense 2.1. But Sense 3.0 made some changes to the structure of the XML's and how the Status Bar was using them. I will write out how I did it, and hopefully it will guide you along to what I think is an awesome change for a ROM or a Theme to make..

Requirements:

1. You must be able to decompile and compile your SystemUI.apk and Framework.apk

2. Understand how to edit XML's.

3. Know how to back up and flash all these changes. I would never suggest making all changes at once to SystemUI. If you make a mistake,your Status bar will fail to show up upon booting the phone..

This is what mine looks like:

In the first part I will cover changing the text color for Quick Settings Tab..

If you find an error of discover a new way of doing it, please let me know so I can update this tutorial..

1. Quick Settings

2. Status Bar

3. Transparency Notification/Quick Settings

4. Time Location on Notifications

5. Changing Text Color of Notifications in Dropdown

6. Animation in Notification Dropdown!!!!

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gunthermic:
Quick Settings:

(Part 1) - Changing Text Color of Primary and Secondary Text

Primary Method:

SystemUI\res\drawable-hdpi\layout\status_bar_preference.xml

1. Header Name of Item

Look for:

<TextView android:textSize="@com.htc:dimen/list_primary_m" android:textColor="@color/list_item_primary_text"

a.	Substitute "@color/list_item_primary_text" with “#ffrrggbb” (whatever rgb color you want)

2. Status of Header Item (like on/off i.e secondary text)

Look for:

<TextView android:textSize="@com.htc:dimen/list_secondary_m" android:textColor="@color/list_item_secondary_text"

a.	Substitute "@color/list_item_secondary_text" with “#ffrrggbb” (whatever rgb color you want)

Secondary Method: (Coming Soon)

Why the two?

The primary keeps any other text within the system from changing. The secondary method can affect any other ares of the the system that call upon this color in the xml. You decide what is best.

(Part 2) - Quick Settings Label

SystemUI\res\drawable-hdpi\layout\quick_settings.xml

Look for:

<TextView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Title" android:gravity="center_vertical"

a.	Add android:textColor="#ffrrggbb” (whatever rgb color you want)

Example:

<TextView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Title" android:textColor="#fffffd80” android:gravity="center_vertical"

Gets you a Yellow Label:
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gunthermic:
Status Bar Color - Date/Clock

SystemUI\res\drawable-hdpi\layout\status_bar.xml

Look for:

1. Clock

Look For:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock

a.	Add: android:textColor="#ffXXXXXX" the “X’s” are in RRGGBB

Example:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:textColor="#ff3366CC"

2. Date

Look for:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView

a.	Add: android:textColor="#ffXXXXXX" the “X’s” are in RRGGBB

Example:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:textColor="#ff3366CC"
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gunthermic:
Transparency Background for Notification Dropdown and Quick Settings

SystemUI\res\drawable-hdpi\values\drawables.xml

Look for:

1. Complete Transparency

<item type="drawable" name="list_item_background">#ffffffff</item>

a.	Substitute: #ffffffff with #00000000

b.	This will give you complete transparency

2. Partial Transparency

<item type="drawable" name="list_item_background">#ffffffff</item>

a.	Substitute: #ffffffff with #77000000

b.	This will give you less transparency

Results:

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gunthermic:
Colorized Text in Notification Dropdown

SystemUI\res\values\colors.xml

<color name="white">#ffffffff</color> (This changes what the text color is when pressed in notifications)

<color name="black">#ff000000</color>

<color name="half_white">#7fffffff</color>

<color name="half_black">#7f000000</color>

<color name="primary_text_color">#ffffffff</color> (This changes the Notification Text Header)

<color name="secondary_text_color">#ff000000</color> (This changes the Notification text Content)

In each of the above lines marked with a comment, Substitute the >#ffXXXXXX with you RRGGBB values you want your text to be.

Screenshots coming in a few..

** I have this done in my mods for a while, however special thanx to Jon for finding out it only needed this file changed instead of several that I had done before. I knew it should take as many files to change the color. THANK YOU JON!!!

Time on Notifications Location

Framework-res\res\layout\status_bar_latest_event_content.xml

Look for:

<android.widget.DateTimeView

Cut and paste whole line into the second or third <Linearlayout... Right after the corasponding Textview

Placing the DateTimeview in the second <Linearlayout will place the time on the first line of the Notification.

Placing the DateTimeview in the third <Linearlayout will place the time on the second line of the Notification

Animation in Notification Dropdown!!!!Ported by myself!

** Special Thanx to - Stoney66,fernando sor,Bad Seed customs for creating this mod**

Required Attached files at bottom of post

All in SystemUI:

res\drawable\status_bar_background_animation.xml

res\drawable-hdpi\pulldown_anim1.png (1 thru 36)

res\layout\status_bar_tracking.xml

res\values\public.xml

Copy status_bar_background_animation.xml to the SystemUI\res\drawable folder.

Edit to suite, it has 36 png's list, but you can do how many every you want. Ensure you have the same amount of png's in res\hdpi\*.png as you have listed in the status_bar_background_animation.xml

status_bar_background.png - Controls the background, might need to make it more transparent so animation can be seen

Manual:

Edit status_bar_tracking.xml

Look for: (Should be first line)

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.TrackingView android:orientation="vertical" android:paddingLeft="0.0px" android:paddingRight="0.0px" android:paddingBottom="0.0px" android:focusable="true" android:visibility="gone" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

Replace with:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.TrackingView android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background_animation" android:paddingLeft="0.0px" android:paddingRight="0.0px" android:paddingBottom="0.0px" android:focusable="true" android:visibility="gone" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

Notice we are adding the adding the status_bar_background_animation

Edit Public.xml

Look for any "APKTOOL_DUMMY_XXXX" id=XXXXXXXX

Change the APKTOOL_DUMMY_XXXX with:

status_bar_background_animation

Results: Edit only one line to define the resource!!!

<public type="drawable" name="status_bar_background_animation" id="0x7f020198" />

(DO NOT USE THIS ID=="0x7f020198") leave which ever ID Number is there from the APKTOOL_DUMMY!!!!!

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] julesism:
I'll ask the obvious n00b question :) ... what app can I use to edit the file via phone or OS X. I've been trying to use the UOT kitchen to change the notification text color. The preview looks good but it always comes out black. I stumbled upon this topic doing a search. I understand where (SystemUI\res\drawable-hdpi\layout\status_bar_preference.xml) and what (FF000000 to FFFFFFFF) needs to be changed, but I'm having trouble getting the right tool(s) to let me open/edit the file. I've attached a screenshot. I'm trying to make the text white. Thats all I need to do. Thanks in adv.

*edit*

should mention I'm currently on BAMF Forever 1.0.2 which is Sense 3. I'm usually on CM7 and the UOT Kitchen works perfect on it.

on OS X I use text wrangler for editing xml's.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Devildog8791:
I have done this and it does not change the second line of the notification. It also turns the first line back to black if you select it and let go, i.e. selecting Disk Drive or Charge Only. Is there another xml file that I need to edit along with this one to chane the text color of the notifications?

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. Thanks for the tutorial.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gunthermic:
What did you do?

More tutorial to come.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Devildog8791:
To be honest, I found a theme that already had it done and compared the xml files.

Edit: I am having one problem though. It seems that some third party apps like Pandors and Handcent are still black text. Do you know where I need to go to fix this or is this something that you are battling too?

I used the hex code "d2" for my transparency its "210" on the hex scale of 0-255

I dont know which one actually did the change but my drop down is the exact amount of transparency I needed.

It took me a huge amount of google searches to find this http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/chart/setting-hexadecimal-value-for-color-transparency-of-radchart-elements.aspx page on how to calculate the value for the alpha in the #aRGB color scale.

So who can help me to do that?

Okay please forgive the Noobish question, I come from the old school droid 1 themeing days (mostly png edits and recoloring).

Im very interested in doing some sense 3.0 themes for my bolt especially the pulldowns in his tut.

My questions here. I am using apk manager 5.0.2

I put framework-res and systemUI into the appropriate folder and decompile I get two decomped foldrs I tried doing one edit to the transparency to get the feel for it but no dice I get a few errors on recompiling and unable to get a working systemui.apk should i be signing them?

I open the xmls in notepad and do my edit and save them (not as a text file it still shows a a xml when i do save as and choose all files then save)

Anyway you could give a brief rundown of the apps needed? and anything that needs to be done to have a succesful apk? Help is appreciated from any and all

Thanks

If you know how to completely remove the date that pops up when you pull down that would be amazing. I made the statusbar semi-transparent, but it screws it up when you pull down and he date pops in.

D
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gunthermic:
SystemUI\res\layout\status_bar.xml

Remove the Line that says

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon"

That will remove the date completely from the Status Bar
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Devildog8791:
You don't need to sign them, but you need to update the apktool/framework files (1.apk and 2.apk) with the rom you are working with. Drag the framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk files from the rom you are wanting to edit into there. Rename the framework-res.apk to 1.apk and rename the com.htc.resources.apk to 2.apk. Hope this helps.
