I just flashed LT18i 4.0.2.A.0.42 CUSTOMIZED-MEL on my Arc and its works fine :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DemonicHawk:
Does it make your Arc cpu run at 1.4ghz? or still 1ghz?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
No mate it's still 1Ghz, Arc S has a different processor that's why it run at 1.4Ghz. It's not software it's Hardware later on we can Overclock it though.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmz:
I have searched all over. I have plenty of people that have it implemented but the roms aren't close enough where I could do a side-by-side comparison. I was able to remove the USB debugging icon using these directions but the ones for the GPS icon don't work. I know the file to edit is in SystemUI.apk instead of services.jar. But when I change that line I get no change. I don't need a step by step. I just need its in this smali and you change this to this. Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
smali file is com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy\HtcCdmaStatusBar.smali

line looks like this

const/4 v4, 0x1

change const/4 v4, 0x1 to 0x0

Ryanmo5 showed me how to do this, and Adrynalyne showed him I believe.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmz:
Thanks for that. For some weird reason apktool broke the systemui.apk. But apkmanager worked just fine. No idea but its working now. Thanks much
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
I know it's your phone and all (and I'm currently used to only seeing the icon when it's in use and don't remember if it's like that on whatever else), but I kind of like having the icon showing when it's used because some unruly apps like to use GPS for no real reason and it could go unnoticed (for example the NPR App does this and I've had it keep querying GPS eating my battery).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmz:
This removes the constant bullseye looking icon. When GPS is accessed the icon shows up.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
When recompiling with apktool you have to insert the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml from the original apk.

I always do it by building the app, inserting the two in the build folder, then rebuilding it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmz:
Interesting. That is the only one I ever had issues with in apktool. Maybe that explains the other issues I'm having trying to mod some other stuff.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmz:
Specifically crt animations and stock 6 signal bar
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
Yeah. Also the slightest mistake in editing an xml file or smali file will make the recompile fail.

Let me know if you get it to recompile
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
Ah yeah, I forgot that icon existed. It isn't there on Cyanogen.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryanmo5:
Yeah its a pain in the butt man and the only time I've had problems using apktool as well.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rclark27:
Can you tell me step by step using apkmanager how you did this? Please.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
Supposing you have apktool set up properly, move the apk to the apktool folder. In terminal/cmd type apktool d SystemUI.apk

Let it decompile the app. Make your changes.

Now type apktool b SystemUI and let t build. If you get errors, you messed something up while editing.

IMPORTANT. You must take the META-INF folder and the Anroidmanifest.xml from the original SystemUI.apk and put them in the /SystemUI/build/apk folder and rebuild the app again. This makes sure the app is signed and will work properly.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rclark27:
Thanks for this info but I guess I don't know how to get apkmanager to work correctly because it doesn't see the adb app even though I have installed the Android SDK.

UPDATE: Have got apkmanager to see adb now. Now how to find systemUI and edit. Is the file the same for Gingerbread? Just want to get rid of the GPS icon also as per this thread.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
Yeah. Plug your phone into your computer. Then her ADB going and type the follow:

adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk

It will now be in your platform-tools folder.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rclark27:
I thank you for your help. But I'm still confused..... Let me explain.... I'm trying to do this using the apkmanager script....so I need step by step instructions on how to pull the SystemUI.apk file, then decompile (right?), then modify the file, then re-compile with signatures (what files to use, etc) and then push it onto the phone... Again using apkmanager only to do this. Your help or anyones help will be greatly appreciated.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
Ok no problem. Keep in mind I use Linux, so it might be a bit different for you if you use Windows.

First and foremost, you have to install the proper framework for apkmanager to decompile and recompile the app properly. To do this, do the following:

1. Run apkmanager

2. Choose option 0, and type: /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk (it will show in the place_apk_here_for_modding folder)

3. Move com.htc.resources.apk to the /other folder.

4. Exit out of apkmanager and start up another terminal/cmd window

5. Navigate to the /apkmanager/other folder and type: apktool if com.htc.resources.apk

Now your framework is installed.

Now do the following to get/decompile/mod/compile/sign/and push the apk

1. Choose option 0 (adb pull)

2. Type the following: /system/app/SystemUI.apk (the app will show in the place_apk_here_for_modding folder)

3. Choose option 9 to decompile app (decompiled app will be in out folder)

4. Make your edits

5. Choose option 10 to compile app (you will notice in the out folder there is a build folder)

6. Take the META-INF folder and the Androidmanifest.xml from the original app and put them in the build/apk folder

7. Choose option 10 again (In the place_apk_here_for_modding folder, there will be repackaged_unsigned.apk This is your new SystemUI.apk and even though it says unsigned, by placing the META-INF folder and Androidmanifest.xml, you did sign it. Just rename it to SystemUI.apk)

8. Choose option 8, and type /system/app/SystemUI.apk

9. Reboot the phone and your all done
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rclark27:
When I pull the file, I see a message that the adb server is out of date....then killing...

After that it does let me name the apk file and say it's my current project. When I then select #9, I see 'Can't find framework resources for package of id. After that I do see the apk folder in the project folder but I don't know if I got all that's needed because I don't see any files that I can edit that are mentioned at the beginning of this thread.

Also...how do I edit?

Thanks.......
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
Hm... are you wanting to edit it for your own personal knowledge? If not, just send me the SystemUI.apk and I'll edit it for you.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkie405:
This mod leaves me with no icon at all, whether gps on or off. I think you said in a few post down that the gps ON icon should still show up with this mod. Is that right?

My SystemUI has two lines that look like this:

invoke-virtual {v0, v6, v4}, Landroid/app/StatusBarManager;->setIconVisibility(Ljava/lang/String;Z)V

If I change the v4 to v3 I get the same effect as your mod. I'm assuming because of the "const/4 v3, 0x0" line further up. Is that correct? I tried changing them both independently of each other but that doesn't work either. Either I lose them both or they both stay.

What am I missing as far as getting rid of the OFF icon but keeping the ON icon?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkie405:
Can anyone help me out?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
The icon that you remove is for the network location. The satellite location icon will only appear when your actually using your gps.

Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt powered by FactorySense 1.1
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkie405:
Oh, I see. Thank you for making it clear to me. :)

So then, is there a way to disable the network location icon (gps reticle) for when it's OFF but keep keep the network location ON icon?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
If there is, I don't know how to do it. The network location for most people is on all the time anyways.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkie405:
Well that sucks. Thanks for the info. :) I really appreciate it.

On a side note, the icon issue I pmed you about was due to issues with my com.htc.resources.apk, so I got that worked out. :)

I tried to fix my GPS problem with the Hardware fix and accidently broke the cheap lead that you need slightly bend.

what can I do to fix my GPS?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dseldown:
You'll need to build some solder up on it, then file it flat to the right height so it makes good contact with the antenna, I broke mine as well on my 1st phone, but the up side is, using the solder buildup made for awesome sat reception, my 2nd phone i used hard plastic between the c shaped brass contact to keep it elevated so it wouldn't lose tension, but the solder still has it as the best, but in your scenario u have no their choice now, short of replacing the MB or maybe josh at mobile tech in Texas may be able to solder another contact on, but again that means sending it to him= down time with the phone plus added$$ as well, but those are your choices right now, Good Luck, if you don't know how to solder find someone who can with a sharp pointed iron otherwise you or them will destroy the board, and don't forget to use flux and prep the broken piece clean so the solder will adhere.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] candyman123:
i broke the tab off too many months back and unfortunately i don't have great soldering skills or the correct soldering iron either :-p i improvised and bought a piece of copper wiring at Home Depot, i bought a foot of it, but you only really need like 1mm of it.. once cut i filed it down enough so that it can make contact on both sides as well as put a piece of tape to make a pseudo-blockade so the piece of copper is secure when closed. It's not the first choice of repair, but if you are out of options this might work for you. The best accuracy I can get with this method is around 30-50feet average (outdoors). it can never get better than that, i am assuming because the signal isn't getting transferred optimally.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dseldown:
I wouldnt do this If I were you

First of all candyman, not flaming you or disrespecting you, but I think that's a very BAD :eek: suggestion, because if that piece of copper ever becomes dislodged, say to dropping the phone and it drifts into the MB or anything that's carrying current thru it, it will short over to whatever each end touches, and that would be catastrophic for the Phone, and would truly be a Totally Hard-bricked situation, the phone would have to be rebuilt with new components that were affected by the shorting. Just saying that anytime you have a unsecured piece of metal moving around circuitry, its just a matter of time before it shorts out. Soldering is still his best option or send to Josh at Mobile tech. :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] candyman123:
haha thank you for the serious concern :o and i have thought about the dangers myself and i know it's super ghetto fix but i do have a piece of tape covering the "side to side" movement of the copper piece so if it does somehow get dislodged it can't move anywhere. the "up and down" movement is being stopped by the sandwiching of the vibrant case/contacts.

although i do need to recheck/refile the copper piece down. i might consider a more safer/permanent fix :p
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaintfm:
Hopefully your phone is under warranty.

Or you don't really use the GPS.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dseldown:
IDK Why???

OMG, what is the problem here, soldering is about as easy as it gets, Hell cooking a meal is way more involved than soldering, IDK why people bail on simple fixes and immediately risk going for a warranty when it may kick you in the balls, when they open it up and discover the tab broke, and send ya a 399$ bill in your next invoice!:confused:!

Hi,

Its being a long time since I post. To start with I just run with a really weird problem. Today when i woke up i went to the phone and noticed wifi was off. I turned it on but it turned off automatically. I was thinking wtf and rebooted the phone. When I rebooted it turned on, never got to load everything and rebooted over and over again.

I dont think this has anything to do, but jic: i left the phone charging all night in airplane mode and turned airplane mode off while the phone was plugged.

I'm using Serendipity VII build 1. First thing I tried was to get into recovery, deleted dalvik cache and wiped batery stats. It didn't worked. Phone keeps rebooting.

I managed to capture logcat with eclipse, had to be fast cause after reboot it clears itself. I only found 2 stuff that sounds fishy; none are related to wifi.

First it says that permissions directory does not exists, kind of weird i just noticed that rules are at init.d...

cannot create /data/edt/logs/S30edt_perms.log: directory nonexistent

10-15 14:40:58.871: INFO/run-parts(259): /system/etc/init.d/S30edt_perms: cannot create /data/edt/logs/S30edt_perms.log: directory nonexistent

Second it cant find ZipAlign

10-15 14:40:59.500: INFO/run-parts(259): Modifying minfree parameters

After the last line it reboots.

Download mode is working btw, but I would like to get to backup sms before flashing over. Also I havent flashed my phone in over 4 months and I'm a bit rusty.

Serendipity zip package is still on sdcard, should I try flashing it from recovery? This wouldn't make me loose sms, right?

Also, at the moment I don't have a working pc at hand, nearest is at 400 km from where I am. I'm writing from a linux notebook. On the other hand I'm a software dev, not as advanced at most guys here, but flashing the phone over linux with the program I can't recall its name atm doesnt scare me. But I would really appreciate some guidance on what i have to flash without making me loose sms and stuff.

I know this is offtopic but I've dated a girl since my last backup and would like to keep the sms record, it may sound pathetic to some guys but I really like to read my conversations with her in the future...

Well this is it, thanks in advance for any help regarding this issue, Im going nuts btw :P
