Nexus S.. Ha.. Editing the build.prop har further reaches than I thought.

Anyway, yes, editing an xml requires decompiling and recompiling... or does it? Not so fast. You can use a Hex editor to edit those colors but, I have no clue. I never went that route.

I guess the easiest way to think about apks that are compiled or decompiled is like this... lets say you have a game.. Football.exe on your computer. you click it, it opens. Now, to save space, you zip it up and its now in a zip file called Football.zip. You click it, it does NOT open. The OS cant read a zip file as an executable file.

You open a compiled xml, can't read it. you open a decompiled xml.. its all right there in plain English. Why would you want to edit an xml? Many reasons. I am going to give you an example right here...

This is the decompiled progress-horizontal.xml from the framework. It controls the color of the bar when you are dwnlading an ap, adjusting the ringer or media volume, etc..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<layer-list

Im not going to go look at a hex chart but I think this is from when I was making an orange theme the other day. You can see there are 9 hex codes for color. You can edit those and make the progress bar have a different background and color. If I remember correctly, the first 3 control the background and the other 6 control the color of the bar. Play around and experiment til you see one you like. you can also add in transparencies and such to get fading and whatnot. like #80dfdfdf instead of #ffdfdfdf.
[Motorola Droid X2] xkape:
Some xmls wont be as clear cut.. it mught say something like android:background="@drawable/status_bar_bg"

This still can be changed. You can actually add something to a folder..image, color, etc.. but you also need to make an xml for it too. (I think, never done it).

You can make it point at a different item or, you can just give it a hex color.
[Motorola Droid X2] afm1118:
ok so with the lockscreen i did, i could have done it two different ways. i could have changed the xml to target a different file or what i did, modify the image file itself. its just like html or any programing, its been a while.
[Motorola Droid X2] xkape:
correct man. Deciding which way to go is key. some of those images show up all over the place. In each instance just have to decide if its better to point it something else or just change what its pointing to looks like.
[Motorola Droid X2] funkencool:
When I first themed ShapeWriter(back when I hadn't even heard of a .9) I got into a whole new mess with .smali, turns out that's where the tracer color was defined. You could never edit smali without decompiling first, although for theming its rare to have to.

Once you start theming you start learning little things here and there. And usually if your theming, it's cause your trying to do what no ones done yet; so most of what your going to learn is from a LOT of trial and error.

I'm not good at writing guides or anything but anyone can feel free to ask in my thread or pm me if you have some specific questions, etc..
[Motorola Droid X2] funkencool:
Also just thought I'd add: things may seem confusing sometimes but so would basic algebra if it hadn't been etched into your brain already.
[Motorola Droid X2] Electroniko:
I was wondering is someone could explain to me a little better as to how to make a flashable zip.

I wanted to change the background image of the dialer, but when I have a finished apk I dont know hot to make it flashable.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid X2] funkencool:
Well I could get pretty indepth but if you just want one that works you could borrow mine or probably anyone else's and change it for your needs(deleting my files adding yours).

without getting into the actually scripting the basics are:

A script that tells you what files/dir go where(among other things) and the files.

Usually it will just unpack everything in the zip to the "root" of your system partition. So if you were to use my zip i would keep my dir's and just delete the actual files.

basically if you want to put a file in "/system/framework/" on your phone you would put the file in "/system/framework/" in the zip.

also a note if you use mine; it will only copy to the system partition and not sd or sd-ext. even with that it should fit your needs.

Hope that all helps
[Motorola Droid X2] navenedrob:
If you are going to use apk manager 4.9, then you NEED to update apktool.
[Motorola Droid X2] xkape:
man has a point.

There is an apktool 5.0.1 which I do use to do everything but the settings.apk For some reason, 5.0.1 does not like that app.
[Motorola Droid X2] navenedrob:
Yeah, this is a good thing to point out xkape. For anyone out there wondering, this is not apktool or your fault. Basically what happened with Settings.apk is that there are some badly formatted strings in strings.xml that need to be corrected. In order to decompile Settings.apk you need to keep a spare older version of apktool around, 1.3.2 should work. You should fix these string errors. Decompile with 1.3.2 apktool, fix the errors in strings.xml. This error should be on line 300 for the regular strings.xml, and I think on line 298 for foreign translated strings.xml files. When I say fix the formatting, I mean that you need to look for double use of the % symbol. If there is a string with multiple uses of the % symbol it will error out. These must be separate uses, because if you see %% together then it is actually the right way and the way you need to fix it. So if one string has some words and then %, and then some more words and a %, you need to change both of those % to %% instead. Always recompile with the latest apktool. If there is a problem in recompilation apktool will tell you what and where the error is. Generally, there are only a few errors to be concerned about and these are listed at the TOP of the error list. You may SEE a long list of errors, but the reason they are there is because the first errors (the real ones) kept apktool from compiling (and finding) the rest of the information, so they error out too. Once you fix the strings.xml recompile the Settings.apk. Any time you or another developer decompiles your Settings.apk they will not have the error.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajam100:
Recently the CyanogenMod Nightly builds have implemented AVRCP 1.3. This allows for the currently playing song/tracks id3 tags or metadata to be displayed on my car media center. This only works when I use the stock CyanogenMod music player. I would like to know if it is possible for me to use the Google Music player and still be able to stream the track info to my cars bluetooth. I've tried, and it doesn't work. I've found comments from other users saying they have found success but I seem to be having trouble. How do I go about getting this to work?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightnz:
Any music player should play via whatever the current audio output method is, which would be via bluetooth A2DP if it's connected. Pretty much the only application that will supply the track data however is the stock CM7 player or the bog-standard AOSP-based Android music player. Neither Google music or virtually any other application supports it as until recently the "standard" BlueZ stack didn't support AVRCP v1.3.

Later beta versions of Google Music may support the feature, but the older ones certainly didn't seem to.

[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
If you're rooted, you can use a custom kernel. HTC hasn't released the source for the 2.3.4 kernel though. You can look at the nolights kernel thread based on 2.3.3 to get an idea or see if someone can compile a custom kernel for you once HTC releases the source.

[Motorola Photon 4G] krazeekirk:
So today I notice my Photon running sluggish so I decided to reboot the device. I used Quickboot to initiate the reboot which I have done many times before. The phone started to reboot like normal it went thru the sprint animation..but after it showed the 4g screen it started to reboot again and again... I tried reflashing the phone which I have done before, which RSD Lite says everything is 100% but the phone just reboots its self in a loop. Tried it again same thing! now the batterys dead and not even the charger will charge the battery after several hours.It wont even turn on but the led is green when the chargers plugged in. can anyone help? oh and the phone had everything stocked except for the fact it was rooted.
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
That really sucks. Sounds like you might have a hardware fault and need to exchange it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Or first try holding volume down and power on until you see fastboot, then hit down volume button until you see android recovery, then hit volume up, while you are there wipe your cache and see if that help you out at all?!?!? I would wipe it a couple times. Hell even at this point do a complete factory reset. Nothing to lose really.

May work, I dunno. What I had to do once. Scared the bejesus out of me!

Other than that beartrap may be correct.

seems like after i use my phone for a few minutes it hits the home key and closes whatever im doing. sometimes it even like holds itself down and pops up the recent tab.

now obviously im not suggesting that a ghost is hitting the buttons physically, its more as if there's something stuck under the button, and it expands once the phone warms up a bit. ive tried compressed air, banging the phone around, nothing works.

anybody else having any issues?

Removed End Call

This disabled the End call button while phone is in use. I like this option because it does not disconnect phone call accidentally with your face. I had this option on Sense 2.1 when JsChiSurf did the mod. I took the same concept on WildHeroc which is Sense 2.3.3.

To End the call you simple press the End call button

Note: I haven't had time to modified the png file for End call due to .9 png file. This required couple of tools I need to install on my computer which I didn't had time to install today. So color is still red as you can see. As time permit I will update during this week.

Any issue please report here. I will response within a day. I would like to keep WildHero Rom thread clean from any issue with these two mod.

I'm currently running this two mode on my phone so I don't see any issue. However, if you do run in to issue after the mod, please let me know.

If you like this mod, a simple Thanks button will be appreciated.

[General Questions and Answers] tothehouse34:
I have been rooted for a couple of months now, and I was tired of dealing with the auto-update keep taking control of my phone.

So tonight I decided to instadd das BAMF rom and the MR2 radio... long story short, I could never get the radio to install so through hboot, i selected recovery to recover the stock ROM, I wiped the data and cache prior to recovering, then rebooted.

Now it is stuck at the htc boot screen.

I need help pretty soon guys, if anyone reads this soon, i have to be at work in 5 hours!

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Ace42:
If you flashed the radio last, it might had wiped the phone, meaning you need ot flash a ROM afterwards, or the phone is bricked, from something you did. I don't know much about the TB, but you should ask in its dedicated sub-forum instead, you'll get much better results there.
[General Questions and Answers] tothehouse34:
thanks, I wish I could but I have less that 10 posts... i dont understand it, i can access h-boot and i can do anything in there like everything is fine, but the phone will not reboot or restart
[General Questions and Answers] Ace42:
Then it's not bricked, most call it soft "brick" since it doesn't boot. You should wipe in clockwork, and then flash another ROM.

[EVO 4G General] MultiDev:
On 3G, I get a faster upload than download a lot of the time like you said , but I think that's because of the crappy 3G around here more than anything else. I'm on a stock rooted rom.

On wifi, speedtest.net more or less gives me results typical of my wifi (i.e. the speeds I pay comcast for). Sounds like there might be a wifi issue with your ROM.

[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Not having TSM parts is a selling point for me. Gummy has just gotten worse and worse since about 1.4, IMHO. I'm actually preferring debloated stock GB to Gummy GBE at the moment, so I'm glad to see another player in the field.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
Out of curiosity what about Gummy do you not like so much that you have posted something along these lines multiple times today?
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
It has gotten laggier, bloatier, and more FC prone over time, not to mention the fact that I loath the themes. GummyComb is the only one that I like at all, but the light blue-on-white text kills it, and it still has the tiny status bar icons that I hate. Outside of that, I tried 3 times, with 3 fresh wipes and installs to get 2.0 FE to work and had continual issues with multiple apps including the Market.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
Gotcha. I have never experienced any FC's that weren't app related on any version of Gummy so maybe I am just lucky. There are so many other themes out there that I don't really care about the ones built in. Right now I am running Matted Blues and I like it a lot (I used to run that on my Fascinate as well).

Either way, to each their own. I am definitely all for different options though. I will probably try just about any new ROM that comes out anyway to see if I like it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Grillrd:
Honestly, sounds like user error or a bad download. As for more laggy, that's just funny. For more bloat, new features are a good thing. As for FC prone, I have not had a single FC. For themes, that is your own opinion. I am a fan of minimalgummy.

I will respect your opinion, but like I said, it seems more along the lines or user error or a bad download. Always make sure you wipe data/cache when coming from a diff rom(most likely your FC issue).
