[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] wildstang83:
Hey guys, was reading through the threads today and noticed a few comments where people got confused weather overscroll is in the new GB OTA roms or not.

The answer to that is yes. The overscroll has been in ALL GB roms since the beginning, including GB Sense roms.

We could never see them in the HTC Sense Gingerbread roms though because HTC hid them(not removed them) by changing the color to black and then Indexing them.

So where are they?

They are located in an apk called framework-res.apk. This apk is located in the system/framework folder of your rom. You can get the apk from your rom by doing one of a few things.

1.

adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/ framework-res.apk

2. Use the Root Explorer app to copy the apk from your system/framework folder and paste it on your SD Card and then just transfer it to your computer.

3. Using 7Zip, extract the apk from your original rom zip while its on your computer, if you originally downloaded it to your computer.

Extract framework-res.apk and navigate to framework-res\res\drawable-hdpi.

Look for these two images: overscroll_edge.png and overscroll_glow.png. Thats the overscroll images. Also look at any of these new OTA GB roms and you'll see what I mean by HTC has blacked them out. Kinda messed up huh?

How to make them colored?

Using a program such as gimp, open the images and change them from 'indexed' mode to 'rgb' mode and then just change the hue to whatever you like.

After that's done just open the original framework-res.apk and drag and drop your new custom overscroll images in to their proper folder. See? very simple.

or...

Grab the framework-res out of a CM GB rom and grab those same images above and toss them into your framework-res.apk

After you've made your changes just do one of these to put the framework-res.apk back into your rom.

1.

adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/

2. Drop the apk into a pre-made flashable zip that you know installs to system/framework and flash through recovery.

Easy huh?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] OMG_VTEC:
how do you do this? i wanna play with this a little bit.

also when you are done do you just push the apk back in?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] wildstang83:
Well you can extract with 7Zip. And yea just pushing it back in with adb is probably the best way unless your good with flashables.

Edit: You want to know how to get that framework-res.apk? Just pull it out of your rom using Root Explorer or extract it from the actual rom zip that you downloaded in the first place. Its located in system/framework.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] OMG_VTEC:
ok...i figured that part out...

now when in gimp i cant seem to see any color change...

all i see is the grayscale blocks and a black stripe(edge) or curved part(glow)

i dont see what any of the color change options are doing...

and so you know, i dont know crap about image editing...cant ya tell??:p

EDIT- thats exactly what i did...dropbox to the computer and now im stuck...lol
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] wildstang83:
Ok do this:

Open the image in gimp. Go to the tool bar at the top and hit image. Do you see 'Mode'? Select that and then change to rgb mode. You'll notice how the image goes from blockish to blurry. Now you can edit your colors

Just play with colorize and brightness until you get what you want.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] OMG_VTEC:
it doesnt do that... stays blocked when i do that
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] wildstang83:
Ah ok I see what your saying. You can still do any color you want. Just make sure the image is in rgb mode and then pick whatever color you want and choose the largest blurry brush and draw a straight line across the top of the image. Look at my example below. You can even use my example if you want.

Do the same thing for the over glow edge. Just use a normal brush and only color the top of the image. About two pixels should be good. Again look at my example.

And if that isn't working for you, just grab the images out of a CM rom and just change the color on them to whatever you like.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Azag Thoth:
feel a little dumb here but what exactly is over scroll?

is it when you are scrolling and get to the end and you see the color flash over briefly, like you are bumping into a momentary light switch...?:confused::D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] wildstang83:
Lol yea thats what it is. The blurry light at the end of a scroll.:)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] JWhetstone02:
Just incase...here are those blurry lights in action :-)

Sent from my Rinky Dinky DInc2
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Whi7eRa66iT:
So I just pushed my framework-res.apk right down over the orig and rebooted and that worked.

But I suspect there is a reason why you want to install it via a zip right?

Not trying to be annoying, but more to learn and actually understand this wonderful world of Android.

Otherwise, I really do like the over-scroll.. Especially when I am browsing folders using Root Explorer and NOT viewing by alphabetical but file size for instance.

Thank you for sharing this information wildstang83!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] wildstang83:
Well just that some people are more comfortable flashing vs actually adb pushing stuff.

And thanks. Always glad to help if I can.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] AndroJak:
Great info in this thread - thanks wildstang.

Sorry to ask such a entry level question - in regards to:

2. Drop the apk into a pre-made flashable zip that you know installs to system/framework and flash through recovery.

Where would one acquire a pre-made flashable zip ?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] shorty1993:
EDITED: answered my own question thru trial and error.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] wildstang83:
Well, its whatever. People on XDA would much rather bash those that need help than to actually help them. I'm still learning but I can't get anywhere with these types of comments. So until then I'll be over at themikmik.com.

[HTC Sensation] abrown0809:
I want to install the new 1.45 RUU because I heard that it has some optimizations that we don't get from installing roms. How do it do that? Is it something that can be flashed from clockworkmod? Do I have to undo revolutionary and S-off? Please if someone could walk me through it, I will be grateful. I'm sorry, I realize this is a noob question.
[HTC Sensation] n1kon:
Just run the ruu that's what I did. U can flash cwm recovery again after
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
what optimizations are you talking about? i read this somewhere as well and asked many times on here what the difference between a ruu and a rom based on ota was and i finally got the dev baadnewz to reply and he said there is no difference??? now im confused again
[HTC Sensation] jmcdonald58:
so your are s-off and you didn't have to reflash revolutionary
[HTC Sensation] abrown0809:
So you stay s-off after you ran the RUU? And after reflashing cwm recovery, everything went back to normal?

Is there a program to show full contact details on incoming call?... I'm not speaking about full screen photo... the photo is ok the WM standard size... I need company, job, office, department etc. info when receiving a call...

is it possible?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ai6908:
You probably have to use a third party dialer. Search this forum using google, or just do a google search, and see if you can find any.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ccezar2004:
threre are some but just a few with very limited options... I was hoping to alter the default WM incoming call screen... it shows name, number, photo... and from what i've seen even company... i need to have also department and job... is there a registry for this?

third party dialers are ruining my smooth WM experience by doubleing some steps or actions...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ai6908:
Not to my knowledge. You have to use a 3rd party application.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NTOP:
Not sure if this will do it but you can try the following

SPB Phone Suite

Resco Contact Manager

There are both paid version but you can download a trial and see if you like it or if it does what you require

Hope that helps

Thanks
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wterlinden:
I changed the baseband of my Xoom from GSM/UMTS to USA by a mistake.

No Idea how to reset this to european settings.

The mistake happened using the app "Netzwerk" by Phillipp Mangelow.

Since then there is no chance to get an internet connection.

All settings i can directly access are ok.

The above named app has an error and offers only "USA" as selection of baseband.

Has anyone an idea how to reset this or knows an app which modifies this setting?

Xoom without radio is not even a half xoom :(

Kind regards,

Willy

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bv_abhi:
Hi,

i use a international version of motorola xoom mz601 in india and have updated to android 3.1 and use the latest baseband n_01.83.35p.

after this update the band changed to USA band 800Mhz? i cannot use any network 2G or 3G and the motorola doesn't show any network operators.

i really want to revert back the settings.now how can i downgrade my baseband and what commands i need to execute also i have tried moving to stock 3.0.1 but no change in baseband.

any apk file that would help me change the band?

thank you.

Please help
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesamothman:
If you are rooted, and if you have a previous backup done thru recovery before, just go to recovery, advanced restore and restore system only. It should bring back your baseband.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bv_abhi:
What I did was go back to a stock 3.1 provider firmware. Being in India I used Original rom. I flashed boot, system, data and recovery. At that point the 3g radio still wont work, Let it do the OTA updates to bring it to 3.2.2 and it will start working, I think one of the OTA updates flashes the modem and or bootloader and resets it to the correct band.

I could then go back to a custom rom and it was all good, I make sure I stay away form the band settings in future.

Charged my battery to 100% before I went to sleep last night. After 7 hours sleep I checked my phone and it was at 83%. Juice Defender switches sync off all night and i receive no sms etc.

I checked battery usage using Android System Info and the highest user in that "sleep" period was Dialler having consumed 46%! Anyone know why this could happen and how I can stop it? Seems a high % battery consumption for something that wasn't used during the sleep period.

Hi just come over from an iphone 4 and loooving the galaxy S2 but im having issues. Im on three uk network and after so long on the phone the data wont work. Even though ut says 2 bars most of the time. It also keeps going from h to 3g quite often which might be doing something to.it?

Any ideas?

[HTC Inspire 4G] allenrb2:
I recently switched to the CoreDroid HD V8 rom. I am using the suggested radio:

12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 - (HTC Ace Gingerbread S Generic 2.36.0)

- Also flash the following RIL package: RIL_2.36

But ever since switching from stock to this setup, I end up on 3g and edge, when I used to stay on 4g. I was wondering if this is normal, or a problem with the radio or rom I am using.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Check your speed through the speedtest.net app. Inspire based ROMS show H+ no matter what. Others do not give you that fake H+. They give you the normal E, 3G, H and so on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] allenrb2:
Yeah that's what I was thinking. So as long as I am able to make and recieve calls, and data is working. And I am not having the battery drained from tower bouncing, then the radio I am using is fine?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Kevr0c:
Radio

First time phone rooter and android user.

After using the Ace Kit to root and everything to the phone i used core v8 rom and its working great as far as im concerned. Do i need to install one of the recommended radios? and what does that do? Im not sure i even understand what the radio function is to the phone.. any help

thanks and sorry if its a repeat question but im not seeming to find my answer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nysona:
If the radio is working fine for you, then I wouldn't recommend changing anything.. Especially if you don't really understand it.

But on the other hand.. when I initially rooted my phone.. I was just using the stock radio and had no problems either.. but then when I did flash a recommended radio, I did notice an improvement.

In the end, it is up to you. If you want to learn a bit more about your phone and possibly improve your experience, I would suggest that you read this sticky (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106324) and then do what it says.
[HTC Inspire 4G] allenrb2:
According to what I understand, no need to flash a new radio unless dropped calls or no data usage is a problem. I just like to go all the way with whatever I do, so I update everything I can.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shackman716:
I rooted my captivate but never got into ROMS and such with it, not that I have the Inspire I have flashed a handful of ROMS and whatnot... however I just got the guts (and knowledge) to flash radios... I went with LEEs rom and recommended radio however I noticed that my DL speeds were way low (below 1mps) so I went back to the stock radio and ril and boom right back where they we before... so if your phones working I see no reason to change anything..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
I have auto brightness switched off but it sometimes switches itself back on. It always does this when I reboot the phone. I've checked apps that have brightness settings and all of them have auto brightness switched off so I'm confused why it defaults, especially on reboot, to auto.

Is this normal? Any ideas?

I seem to have a lot of questions tonight.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Once you have so 'many' problems with your current rom (auto-reset to auto-brightness, high battery drain by dialer, wrong contacts display), I suggest to wipe everything and flash it again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
Not just this ROM though Matdroid. I had the same auto brightness issue with CM7, RCMix, InsertCoin and my current ROM (Cool Sensation). That's why I'm beginning to think this is normal but I'm guessing you don't have this problem so there must be a setting somewhere that's causing this on my phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Except for the autobrightness issue (do not use it), you are right, I do not have these problems. To be very sure it's not the rom, go back to stock. If the problems persist, call htc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slugger09:
I'm a bit of an audiophile and for me the music side of things really is lacking in Android. Its absolutely fine for example if you come home in the evening and want to listen to a few albums, its 110% no problems at all.

I listen to music on my phone 8-9 hours a day at work and its a let down.

Getting songs on it for a start is a nightmare, sure you can plunk all in a music folder again fine for listening to an odd album or whatever but there is no sort of organisation, Say I want a playlist with song 2 from album E followed by song 1 from album C and so on this is a nightmare to create on the phone, this is where iTunes comes into its element. Sure we have things like Doubletwist, on paper it should be fantastic, but the reality is it duplicates songs and playlist and isn't even smart enough to recognize duplicates in your library, there is also things like Winamp and its wireless syncing, it takes forever and again duplicates.

Then we have the problem with MP4 files, My Galaxy S2 can recognize many files but has issues with MP4 files, you get song name but artist info etc all unknown, it can't read the tags.

Then general sound levels, I've tried 3 android phones over the years and all 3 are to low, they are about 70% that of an iPhone and this is fine for general listening but if your fave song comes on you like a bit of a boost and well you can't, I also work in quite a noisy environment and machinery can he heard over the top of the phone on full, there are apps like Volume+ which claim can boost the volume and well they can but it distorts so all rather pointless.

Then there is finding a player, I've notice volume differs between them all, and some can't read the playlists you've created so in the end i;ve had to stick to stock player, although crap its the best of a bad bunch.

A feature I also liked on iTunes was Genius, I could pick a song say a rock song, hit a button and it would create a playlist similar, even if this was possible on android it wouldn't work anyway as all the MP4 tags are fooked.

So as I say I take music seriously and I suspect 90% of people won't care about these issues but I do and am hoping for some good advise as don't want to go back to iPhone but at the moments its looking like the only solution as Android is so frustrating to use for music.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teract:
First off, look at Voodoo sound control from the android market. It's often times included in custom ROMs. It will allow you to pump the volume up far beyond the stock ROM's capabilities. There's quite a few other tweaks it offers that I'm sure you'll find. The only catch with Voodoo is that it's only compatible with certain Kernels.

As for media playback, "Music" by Google is pretty powerful. It's not the same program that many phones run stock. It has support for FLAC playback, Song info lookup, even lyric support.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3UR0TR45H:
I recommend you take a look at PowerAmp. I am a music nut like you and it does everything and more! There is a full featured trial version and to buy it is only a few bucks. Check it out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larciel:
I have to use music by G but I wish it has some more useful features like 'query' or 'play after this song' such.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
There will probably never be a mobile player that will do Replay Gain on the fly so i suggest your grab yourself a copy of mp3gain for your PC. Plug your phone in via USB, drag and drop your music from phone to program interface, set level to 92db, Scan Tracks and then Apply Gain.

92db may be higher than some of your tracks already are and may be lower than others. Find a level that gives you the audio boost you need. As all tracks are set to the same level you won't have to adjust volume between tracks during playback.

There are plenty of players with Playlist support so that's covered. Try one of the ones mentioned above.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slugger09:
I think i've found the answer by accident, I was using Media Monkey I noticed it has a feature to analyze the volume of tracks, so I got them all analyzed and noticed most were in or around -10db, I hit level which brought them up to 0 to +5db and I have noticed a good improvement, It also sorted out all my tagging and artwork issues and even synced my playlists perfectly to my phone. :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] reddragon72:
So here is the deal. At any time and any place my phone will seem to be perfectly fine. I can cruze the internet on 4G and WIFI but not 3G. I cannot make or receive calls and txt and MMS. Sometimes the phone will continue like that till I reboot it and sometimes it will reboot on it's own.

This is not a constant but more or less once a day sometimes twice and sometimes I can go 2 or three days without the issue.

official OTA MR is installed. A co-worker has the same phone and nothing, not one issue with his, but he is not rooted. So I am beginning to wonder if rooting the phone is the cause. I even thought virus once and downloaded AVG and Lookout and neither report an issue.

It is odd, not super annoying as it has never occured during a call or while I'm using the phone, it is only when I am not using it at all, which is hardly ever considering how bad arse it is.

So has anyone else seen this. It is not a full lockup of the phone just the 3G/Voice radio.
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
Did you have the same issues before you rooted? If so, unroot and return to the store. If not, remove as many apps as you can and slowly add apps until it starts again. This phone is sensitive to some apps that weren't designed for it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] reddragon72:
So I went and did a factory reset on it. And within 12 hours the issue occured. So I went to root the phone and found out that root was still there!! So when did a factory reset not clear the phone? So I did it again and still root and all the files I put into the system(ie.. webtop over HDMI, root, and talk2 with video) are all still there. But all my txt phone and other items are gone as well as everything on the SDcard(media space). So what gives?
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
You'll need to flash the last MR5 in this thread. You'd think something called "factory reset" would do this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
Just curious, which root method did you use? Droid 3 or torpedo?
[Motorola Photon 4G] reddragon72:
Is this MR5 newer or older than the OTA as I have the OTA installed already.

I did the dock root the day it came out. Funny thing about that too is that the files for that remain in the /var/tmp/pulse directory and I can see it and see them in ES explorer but not in terminal emulator.

After I did the factory restore I installed super user and it was good to go. I never had to perform the steps to root and all apps that require root are working perfectly fine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
They're the same

Hello, I don´t know where to ask this, so here it goes.

I have my main hotmail account which is listed as an unsupported country (for wp7 marketplace), I managed to change my address and region in hotmail so in that way I was able to access the marketplace in my WP7 ... but the problem is, that in the past I created an Xbox live account with this account, so my hotmail account appears as USA (which is the country I want now) and my xbox live account shows something else.

Now, when I wanted to create a zune account it appears as a different country, giving me overpriced items in the marketplace, so my zune ID and my Xbox Live ID are both showing the wrong country but my hotmail account is showing correct ... do you guys know how to change this??

Apparently 13 years ago Hotmail didn't even exist for Poland so I couldn't even locate my account for Poland.
