notification bar icons are mainly in systemui.apk and are standard .pngs.

Theirs alot of guys willing to help those who help them selves. from what your asking i'de suggest doing a ton of reading. their are a ton of theming modding how tos. but if you wanna jump in grab 7zip,gimp(or a similar graphics editor) and android signer, and start experimenting, If you wanna edit .9.pngs your gonna have to learn how to use apktool and a .9 compiler. But just do a search theirs alot of great how tos and tools all over the forum.
[HTC EVO 3D] spenceizzle:
I found the systemUI.apk from reading the beats headphone icon thread. So I'm assuming that the .pngs found in the systemUI.apk are normal .pngs that don't need any kind of special encoding or transparency values. If I were going to change some sense 3.0 assets, I would need to use this guide posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5206698, correct?

Edit: Also, is the SystemUI.odex file anything I have to worry about?
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
if your just looking to change images the .odex isn't something you need to worry about, the link you posted refers to .9.pngs, when you say assets if your refering to the images that are in assets folders tose are .m10 files and for those you need the .m10 tools that can also be found here on xda.
[HTC EVO 3D] spenceizzle:
Well, I got the drawable-hdpi finished, I may have to tweek the 4g icon, the signal bars look a little pink. Tomorrow I'll see if I can find the syncing icon, battery percentage, and other little odds and ends that I can easily edit. I'm attaching the SystemUI.apk for anyone who wants to try it.

Hello guys!

This is my first post here. I read a lots of things here, but none covered whats happening to me.

So, I have my P500 which I bricked earlier today. Don't ask me how I got it unbricked, I don't remember. I installed that leaked GB rom that is avaliable here and it worked.

So, just after that, I got the right GB for me, and installed using KDZ. Now I can't update my phone with LG software. There is some way to bypass this?

Also, after updating Superuser, I can't update su bin anymore, only gives me error. What is wrong? The wifi is on and it is stable, but no luck.

Sorry if all of these are already covered, I didn't found it anywhere.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ts_firehawk:
Solved eveything. LG won't update anymore, I think it is because the custom recovery I installed.

I got Superuser working (updating su binaries) by uninstalling the auto-updated version and downloading it again from Market. Now everything seems fine.

Hope this help someone someday.

any one know how to go about this??

or not... lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kingithy:
Heya, I hated these aspects of Swype too...

I ended up signing up for and installing the Swype BETA.

This has gotten rid of the EN key and the keyboard looks bigger and better (in my opinion).

Note: Before installing the beta version I used Root Explorer to go and change the old swype file names to Swype.apk.bak just as a backup in case things went wrong.

The old files are in (I think) system/apps/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwype.core.so or something.

Seems to be working fine so far, though!

Good luck and let me know if it works for you, too!
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Good update.

IE9 : Great, except for removing the Quick Buttons for Tabs and Favorites

Bing : Vision and Audio Great. Local Scout I haven't tried.

Search Button : Removed Contextual Search Button - Terrible.

Messaging Hub : WLM and FB Chat are virtually useless. Messages come in way too late, if they even arrive at all. 90% of the time, they don't arrive for WLM. Haven't tested FB, but not expecting anything different there.

Visual Voicemail : for me (on T-Mobile), excellent.

Task Switching : Excellent

Email Client Changes : Excellent

Office Hub Changes : Excellent but it feels like no one tested this. You can't mvoe or delete files in your skydrive. When you back out of a folder you go straight to Office Hub instead of One Folder up. Things are alphabetized, but they don't put folders on top. It's all mixed in there. Just seems a bit messy. Otherwise, works as you'd generally think it's intended to work. Connections are very fast, not a lot of load time.

People Hub Changes : Generally great. Still doesn't update in the background, which makes the load times even more ridiculous if you have a lot of updates to load.

Me Hub Changes : Great. Live Tile works for Social Notifications.

*** WP7 Still Doesn't have a decent notification Cache, which is a bit terrible. Needed ASAP, IMO.

Calendar : Synching of To-Dos from Windows Live is a much welcome feature.

XBox Live looks better.

Picture Hub by default does a slideshow of all your pictures. Not a welcome'd default.

Podcast support in Zune HD Hub : Yay!

Biggest disappointment for me was the apparent uselessness of the WLM/Facebook chat in Messaging Hub. It was probably the single biggest feature I was waiting for when you assume obvious things like Browser, etc. would be brought up to par (which they have been, exceeding many expectations). That being said, it makes me feel less bad about spending $9.99 on Beejive for Android 4 days ago.

I can't believe Microsoft forced IM+ to butcher their IM app... for this... And the worst thing is this will not get fixed without a full FW update, since it's built into the OS.

I havent used FB chat on RTM yet, but with the Dev beta FB chat worked great and fast
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
If the FB works great and fast that's cool and all.

I just know the WLM is useless outside of knowing who's online or sending one message you don't expect a response to, because it barely recieves the replies and when it does it recieves them anywhere from 0.5-3 minutes after other WLM clients both on WP7 and other platforms.

It's actually worse than Messenger by Miyowa, which is a miracle...
[Windows Phone 7 General] sketchy9:
not sure your issue with WLM. It works flawlessly for me (and in real time).

-R
[Windows Phone 7 General] barttool:
The WLM / Facebook chat works allright for me. It takes a little longer for messages to reach, but I've had long, fast conversations with it and it has worked flawlessly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wyn6:
I was testing it out earlier by chatting back and forth with a friend of mine. Worked just fine. As soon as I hit send, I saw it come up on the computer. When I saw his message hit the comp, it hit my phone. Last one was about 2 seconds behind.

Now, I was on wi-fi. So, performance may vary with connection speed. Will test on 3G tomorrow.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
My FB chat is almost instant. :cool: (Sprint HTC Arrive)
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:

And sorry but I was trying it with two phones and a computer. Its not operator error.

[Windows Phone 7 General] sayonical:
WLM on the phone I think from my experience stops receiving messages if you respond elsewhere. Fo exmaple if a friend messages me, I get it simultaneously on the phone, web and desktop messenger. If I repsond on the phone I recieve all replies in realtime across all options. However if I reply on the desktop messenger or the web, I no longer recieve replies on the phone until I start responding on the phone. This works fine for me as it saves battery since im already responding elsewhere.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
That's how it's intended to work. You're only supposed to receive responses on your phone to messages that were sent from your phone. With that being said, my WLM and Facebook are both instant. Not sure if it has to do with signal strength or what. I use both all day, and both never hiccup.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Haven't tried WLM yet, but FB chat is absolutely instant for me. I chatted with my wife basically in real time from my phone to her laptop.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
They have removed timer from dropdown volume bar when tracks are played.

Call history still doesn't show call duration.. Only history which is useless.

I don't want that favorite window in pics hub. I don't have time to favorite pics.

Can't add more than 20 people to one group.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gl0b:
Had the same issue with fb chat over wifi. But it's real time with 3G.

Maybe it's my connection and it's unrelated.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
I would give it an 8 out of 10, they lose points for the extra taps required for tabs and favourites in IE. Biggest joy for me though was being able to change the default search provider from the truly awful Yahoo that O2 UK had forced upon us in earlier version to Bing!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] leftspeaker2000:
It would appear to me if you have a contact that is Facebook linked and WLM linked it will only allow you to message them on there Facebook, which i guess makes sense since most people like them bother.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nizzon:
Bad:

Twitter updates doesnt work even though my account has synched with the phone.

Windows Live posts/updates doesnt work either.

Hardware search-button is COMPLETELY useless. "We can't connect to search at the moment. Check mobile data or WiFi connection".. Yeah I have full data and WiFi connection thank you very ****ing much. This is bull****. I know Local Scout and Bing Maps isnt available here but at least give me a web search or send me to bing web page. Useless!

Since I activated my Swedish Live-ID Zune doesn't get artist-backgrounds or artist-info. I should have figured since Zune Service isnt available here in Sweden. Album art on lockscreen doesn't work either. (Seriously?! I understand why we cant buy music through the Zune Service yet here in Sweden but why the hell cant my albumart be displayed?)

Good:

I love the new Live Tiles for groups and Me-tile, love the notifications.

Love Threads in email-apps and the ability to link mailboxes.

Like the new fb-integration, so far I havent installed the fb-app, I still miss that we cant see who like a certain photo etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Wrong. WLM supports multiple points of presense.

Being logged in at multiple places doesn't matter. WLM has worked like this for over half a decade, now, if not longer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The Phone Prioritizes FB > WLM > SMS/MMS

You can switch between the three manually, with the switch button on the bottom of the screen.

Too bad there are no delivery confirmations like BeejiveIM or S/D/R tags like Blackberry/Kik Messenger.

Would like the ability to send Video, Contact, and Location as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The Facebook App is needed for Offline Messaging support, among other things. It also gives you Toast Notifications for a lot more stuff than the built-in integration (albeit the Notifications come in a bit late, but they come in nonetheless). There's no harm in just installing it for the sake of convenience - especially since touch.facebook.com apparently does not work well (or at all) with non-Webkit browsers... Also, it's hard to add or confirm friends without the Facebook Application.

Same goes for Twitter. Direct Messaging is not supported by the built-in integration (would have been nice if the Messaging or Mail Hub had DM and Offline FB Messaging Support), can't follow or unfollow, etc. I haven't tried the LinkedIn Support, yet. I deleted my LinkedIn account since no one I know uses it regularly (even if they have accounts). There is no Official App for that, though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ypsmav:
Hi,

I updated an Omnia7 to mango yesterday, but still feel that MS is just laughing about us.

The reasons why I'll be getting an Android phone are the following:

- Skype: MS bought skype time ago, but still no skype client even if they have promised a full integration into mango... WTF??

- Citrix receiver: They say that Mango is business friendly, but the main business piece of software, citrix receiver, is still not working on WP7. Shame on u MS!

- Turn by turn Navigation: how long we will need to wait until we get a decent turn by turn navigation system? Nokia is suppose to bring it, but I started to think that Nokia will never release their phones....

- Marketplace: is caotic, and very difficult to find an application. No google support. no augmented reality applications.

- Start menu: the lack of folders make the start menu useless when you have many applications. even in the i**** you can group applications in folders.

On the positive side, the email client, the fluidity, etc etc.

Can someone give me some real info if my negatives will be solved anytime soon?

Is it worth to wait?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
The Skype deal has not been approved yet by whatsoever responsible authorities. And MS never promised an integration of Skype in Mango. All that was known is that Skype will come as an app after the release of Mango, which happened just yesterday. Augmented reality apps will come as well. The APIs necessary to develop such apps came with Mango. Speaking about TBT navigation. There currently are a few really good working apps on the marketplace (GPSTuner Turn by Turn Navigation for instance). Even Navigon as an offline navigation system will be released in a couple of months.
[Windows Phone 7 General] VelJharig:
I would presume that behavior with the phone WLM client is to minimize unnecessary data plan usage on a cell connection, not due to some misunderstanding that the service can't handle multiple points of presence. Otherwise in an extended conversation that involved lots of pictures between two desktop clients (for instance), people might end up burning through far more of their data plan than intended if everything was CC'd to the phone's client (which is logged in by default). I'd bet it is considered a "feature"...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Madril:
Does Mango install by default new keyboard layouts, ie. will I get Polish one after update or do I need to force install of full Polish language (I prefer EN)?
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Everything is CC'd to every client, that's the whole point (so that message continuation is not compromized). You can avoid data plan abuse by signing off on tha client... Do you have any idea what you're talking about? The issue is the lag in notifications and message delivery...
[Windows Phone 7 General] VelJharig:
The insult about my competence is unnecessary and petty, N8ter... yes, I do have an idea of what I'm talking about; I've supported many messaging systems for well over a decade. I'm addressing the WLM behavior described by the first two posters that I quoted. Do you remember when Live Messenger first came out with its "mobile" feature when one could register a cell phone to an account, and the desktop client would show someone as offline, but available via mobile device? Same idea, that version of the service didn't get copies of everything either, because it funneled communications through an SMS gateway, which could be prohibitively expensive depending on the customer's plan. Message continuity was not automatic through that service... it had to be specified.

I can easily see someone at Microsoft deciding to build an exception into automatic message delivery to their new mobile client service for the same reason... to protect ignorant users from themselves. Yes, you can easily sign off from the service to prevent data usage, but the average user may not think to do that. These are the same developers that decided it was a "feature" to initially have the camera app hard locked to a set of default options that couldn't be updated, to protect users from leaving their camera in a strange state...
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Yes, fortunately they got it right this time. All supported keyboards are available on all phones on Mango.

Nope, you're wrong, like always. I didn't say it logged you out, learn to read. Its designed that way so you don't have your cell phone going ape**** while talking on a PC. It'll only push responses to your phone if the message was sent from it

[HTC Sensation] itsmikeramsay:
Is there any way to SIM Lock my phone back to TMOUSA? I see a few SIM unlocking procedures, but nothing saying to lock it again....

The reason is when trying to flash ROMs that have the ability to see what kind of Sensation I have, it shows as a European Sensation, or just a Sensation that's not 4G or T-Mobile....Can anyone help me with that?
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
not sure, but I'm guessing thats determined by your CID, and not your sim unlock.
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
The only different thing about the T-Mobile Sensation is that it has the T-Mobile branding, including the "4G" which is purely branding.
[Atrix 4G General] Notyours:
This is just a post to let everyone know how I fixed my lagging atrix in hopes that it could help you too.

It started will slow scrolling through my contacts. Then any app that uses my contacts slowed down - call log, text messages, caller id - all slowed and sometimes forced closed. Then it spread to home screen swiping, app list scrolling, fingerprint scanner lag, even games stuttered.

I found that my "Contacts Storage" size grew to 168MB - for only 100 contacts.

I had a backup, so I shut off the automatic syncing, wiped out my contacts, and cleared the "Contacts Storage" data. Rebooted and reloaded my contacts. Now it's down to 630KB - much better.

Now it is running like it was brand new. After some research, I found that other phones are having this problem too. I think that my phone lagged everywhere because the phone was having such a hard time processing the huge file.

So, if your phone is lagging and you're running out of ideas, remember to check your contacts file size.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
For me wiping the Dalvic Cache made my phone feel brand new and more than doubled my available memory...
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
I cant wrap my head around contact storage causing the app drawer, fp scanner, etc to lag.. = /
[Atrix 4G General] Notyours:
The only thing that I can think of is that after each "contacts" force close, the phone would have to reprocess that huge 168MB file and it was just overwhelmed. My phone seemed like it was stuck in a continuous "force close - reload HUGE file" cycle. All of the processing going on in the background was tying up the processor when it should have been available for the fp scanner, app tray, etc.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Hhmm, strange.

Sorry for the long post.

Aright so here is the deal. We are making MattedGreens into an apk for theme chooser. We have great looking buttons. But for some reason, every time I change the buttons out, root explorer stops writing on them. At first I though It was because they were just to dark. So I switched it up. No luck. Then I figured I would try a plain white button. Again, only root explorer wont display text on them. I have tried making the 9patch huge, and also tiny. Nothing works. I then tried using the stock buttons. Which work normally, but as soon as I put them in my apk and install, root explorer wont display text on them. The specific buttons are the mount r/o(r/w) and when you click menu>>multiselect. So I figured I would pull Androdian and try those buttons. No luck still.

Does anyone have any ideas? Why it works for every other theme, and for stock, but not when packed in my theme? This is really frustrating me. Any suggestions are appreciated :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Bamba1260:
Also, it is making the 'send' only show half of the word until you write more then one line. Seems like its the 9patch, but have tried every possible variation of it.

This is a silly, silly, question, as I have NO knowledge of even the first thing about theming, but, since I hope to be able to install a MattedGreens apk one day... (maybe even first in line!), I'm gonna just throw this out there:

Have you tried cropping the inside of your button out as perhaps an easy workaround?

[HTC EVO 3D] Bamba1260:
Haha well I appreciate the attempt, but I have tried that. It has a place to write it to, but for some reason the button is displayed over the text, or at least thats the only thing I can think of lol. Except for that its not because clear buttons dont work, nor nor do white buttons, or transparent white buttons. Or anything lol.

It's as if when i tell it to display the new button it says 'okay, but im not going to display text *evil laugh*.'

Any other thoughts, suggestions, guidance?

This is the only thing left to figure out before the release.
