I keep my phone naked so it can show its curves! No seriously though I just make sure I put it in my right pocket where there's no coins or keys stuff like that. You can't enjoy it with a case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phreshjoker:

I have the Zagg dry INVISIBLEshield and the D3O case on mine. The case barely adds any thickness to the phone, yet will protect it in case you drop it.

I recommend using the D30 case or any case.. Just in case...

Have a D30 case on it with T-mo screen protector. Have to protect my investment. Knowing me, and the slick slim phone, i'd drop it constantly. The case gives it a little more girth and grip.

Naked for me. Phones are too sexy to put in a case. It's like throwin body armor and a poncho on a supermodel.

I've dropped enough phones to appreciate the extra protection a case gives. :D

I'm really happy with my D3O case, it seems like it'll do a good job protecting the phone, and it really doesn't add much bulk at all.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Jirv311:
I'm putting together a theme for a KJ3 Gingerbread ROM I'm building and having a couple issues. I cannot get the status bar to change at all. I've got a status bar image sitting in framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, and it is still solid black. I cannot figure out what I need to change to use the custom image.

Second question is how to set the default wallpaper. I have default_wallpaper.jpg in framework-res.apk but every time I flash my ROM zip, it uses the default Samsung Blue Sea Live wallpaper. Any ideas on how I can change the default?

Sorry, this is the first ROM I'm actually putting together myself. :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] q659503934:
del bluesea so the default_wallpaper.jpg can be show but lockscreen wallpaper change to black
[Captivate Themes and Apps] talleywhacker:
You have to also edit the xml to change the status bar.

SystemUi/layout/statusbar.xml I believe.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] adzidek:
can someone tell me how to change the font colour for notifications in the drop down?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] DemonWav:
1. In framework-res.apk/res/layout/status_bar_latest_event_content.xml there are two things to look at; the line with

android:id="@id/title"

controls the title of the notification. "android:textColor" is what you need to modify, and the format of the number is "#AARRGGBB"

2. Then there is the line with

android:id="@id/text"

which controls the description of the notification. Do the same thing you did with the title.

Here's a screenshot, the numbers correspond with the item that I talked about above.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Jirv311:
I sent you a response back. My status bar is still black after changing this so I may have to send you my file and have you take a look. I appreciate your help.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fezzy102:
It is in the layout folder of systemui,statusbar xml.i believe its line 1 and 19 that need edited there is either a hex color of ff000000 a or a ref. To black but it had to be changed to a drawable so it points to the .9 .i will look when I get home.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Jirv311:
Sorry I should have stated that I did change the xml but it's still black. It may be due to an improper .9 image. I will try a different one tonight and see if it works.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] DemonWav:
You are correct, that is what I told him to do. He said it didn't work and he has a hypothesis of why it won't, the .9.png thing. If that doesn't fix it then I just want to take a look at his SystemUI.apk 'cause I don't feel like guessing and trying all these different "fixes".
[Captivate Themes and Apps] killer_raj:
same png image has to be change to a transparent one...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Jirv311:
Just as an update, I was able to get the status bar working finally after finding a proper status bar image, thanks to DemonWav.

Also, thanks again to TRusselo for showing me the way for the default wallpaper.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jamadio:
I don't believe to two are very relevant.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
Well task killers are ok but i would go with something like fast reboot. Its acts like a task killer but instead of killing the app it signals it to restart or reboot so this way it stops correctly and frees up memory

I use no task killer app on my phone and it runs awesomely smooth at 600 mhz thanks to supercharger. What's more I only have 128 mb of ram.

Advanced Task Killer is bad because it is too aggressive and kills important background apps like the alarm service, etc. If you want a task manager download the new Astro file manager (it has a task killer built in) or ES Task Manager.

[Xoom General] xBlackDroid:
Hi all, after watching some videos of the SDK for HC, I have been both surprised and disappointed because I expected a revolution most notorious for this new OS and only seem to alter the appearance like Touchwizz style and I am surprised that the optimization by Tiamat, in my opinion provides a perfect scenario, much more possibilities both in appearance and applications than ICS

somevideos from SDK ICS Tablets

http://es.engadget.com/2011/10/19/un-primer-vistazo-a-ice-cream-sandwich-para-tablets/
[Xoom General] musashiken:
I'm definitely happy with ICS. The improvements are good for phones. For tablets, think of it as a refinement to Honeycomb.

In anycase ICS does really deliver on Google's promise to unify phones and tablets.
[Xoom General] xBlackDroid:
I agree with you, for smartphone is an excellent update has new features, although almost everything is extrapolated from the HC
[Xoom General] gqstatus0685:
It was really meant for phones.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
How do you figure that?
[Xoom General] RMerlin:
I frankly don't know what you were expecting exactly. This is an update to an existing OS, not a new OS. And there are a LOT of changes under the hood that haven't been really discussed at the Samsung/Google event. Something like turning the Recent button into an actual Task Manager is a very nice features. Built-in screenshot capabilities is another long-time requested feature that is in ICS. Sure, a lot of the other changes are targeted at phones, but Android is first of all a mobile device OS.

Look at http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0-highlights.html for a closer detail at changes in 4.0. And look at all the non-visible, under-the-hood changes that are nonetheless major, even if they do not represent any visual or end-user impact at first: http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0.html

To me, ICS looks exactly what it should have been: first of all a serious spit-shine done at Android, giving the bit of polish people often complained it lacked. And it also brings a lot of new goodies to the table.
[Xoom General] Kippui:
Its because we have some of the features on our tablets that our phones had to live without....

I'm going to be happy when our tablets run most apps on the market like phones without issue.
[Xoom General] RMerlin:
Slightly unrelated note: Andy Rubin said at AsiaD that ICS should be opensourced a few weeks after the Galaxy Nexus launch. That will allow ROM modders to come up to plenty of new features for our tablets.
[Xoom General] s14tam:
Agreed. Actually, ICS is what honeycomb should have been. Motorola actually rushed Google for the developement of 3.0 to release with the xoom. Anyways that's their reasoning for not releasing the source for HC and why they are going to be releasing the code for ICS. They didn't want people to developed a platform that was rushed.
[Xoom General] csseale:
Rushed or not it works great as a tablet os.

There is alot of honeycomb in ics you can easily tell that hc was a transitional os but alot better than most other transitional OS's like.....windows ME or vista....so not sure how rushed it was.
[Xoom General] Xevilious:
Uh, no. I think if you were disappointed than your expectations were too high. If you've used Honeycomb, then very little in ICS should surprise you, given that Google is simply using ICS as a vehicle to link phones with the work already accomplished on their tablet OS. Honeycomb is great, and I look forward to getting ICS on both my Nexus S and my Xoom, given that Honeycomb (to me) is superior in almost every way to Gingerbread.
[Xoom General] 3devious:
I disagree. We lost features. The central complaint about the original Galaxy Tab was that it was basically a big phone. Not much has changed with Honeycomb and until very recently, that big phone had more functionality than our devices (which are bigger big phones.)
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Calling any iteration of Android "rushed" demonstrates a misunderstanding of Google's core development philosophy.
[Xoom General] s14tam:
Again Motorola pushed google for a tablet os to produce the xoom. Again, its their reason for not releasing the source for HC. Source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)#Licensing
[Xoom General] double1:
Jellybean will focus more on tablets. With a plethora of quad core tablets about to be unleashed, devs should jump at the chance to develop richer applications that can harness the power of 4 cores.
[Xoom General] csseale:
Galaxy tab was a big phone..just as the ipad was. They are both running os built for phones....hc is nothing like a phone and was built with tablets in mind. So the comparision is kinda ridiculous.
[Xoom General] csseale:
I am fully aware of the history. But it was far from a bad release and does not feel rushed. It fits perfect. And ics is not filling very many holes in hc. So if you don't like hc then I'm afraid you wont like ics.

All they did was merge hc with the phone world and eliminated the phone only part. Ics is hc with a dialpad.
[Xoom General] csseale:
Wow...I agree with you...crazy
[Xoom General] s14tam:
So are you both saying that Google would never in a million years push production of a product while omitting some features to make a deadline? If honeycomb was what Android 3.0 was always meant to be, then Google would have had no problem with releasing the source for it as they have been doing for all previous versions. If you really understood androids history, then you either have insider knowledge or are demonstrating a misunderstanding of reality.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Release early, release often is a core google philosophy.

The lack of a honeycomb source release has nothing to do with being "rushed". According to Rubin, it was to prevent the proliferation of phones with a non-phone optimized OS.

Hey guys, does the ICS Gmail support Superstars? These are the extended stars that the desktop web Gmail has, i.e. yellow star, red star, blue info, etc. Gingerbread Gmail shows all stars as yellow stars which makes the Superstars less useful overall.

Since I'm getting a Nook STR soon I just wanna find out if anyone successfully install the Calibre Library APK onto their STR? If yes does the stock nook reader able to pick it up?

My only aim is for the STR to have a way to access my Calibre Web contents and can search/download my ebooks over wireless connection rather than plugging usb.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] emarusceac:
I have installed Calibre Library on my Nook STR, and it works fine, but I'm using it with Cool Reader (I'm not a native english speaker and Cool Reader allows me to add a customised dictionary).

My guess is that you might make Calibre Library to work with stock library by pointing it to download your books into the stock reader's folder (which can be found by choosing "more" from within a book you've opened in the stock reader).

I hope you get to understand this last phrase:)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SkippyDogg:
Hi,

I am experiencing massive battery loss after any type of power down on my phone. I usually lose about 15% if not more when I reboot/shutdown. Can this be fixed from my end is it a problem with the ROM I am using? Any ideas?

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
It's not all that unusual to lose more battery when booting up than by regular usage. Some roms might use a bit more or less, but probably not a huge difference. 15% does seem like quite a bit though, I would think 3-5% to be normal.

Does your phone take a long time in shutting down/starting up?

You might want to try installing a different kernel, that might help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Enokrad:
are you using an SD rom or a NAND one?

With Nand, i've never experienced such an issue so i wouldn't know the answer (unless battery is going dead, in which case try a new battery).

With SD though, unless power is 100% during WM6.5

it will never allow the battery to properly charge in android mode (even if indicator shows 100% etc).

you would need to let the phone charge 100% in WM and then use Harriet to boot android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DonEmu:
Well its probably a poorly calibrated battery or just a weak battery in general. 15% is far too large for a rom to drain that much just from booting, rebooting or getting switched off.

Does your phone get insanely hot during these boots because if not then your rom is most likely not causing it.

Run a battery calibration tool. Can be found on the market.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SkippyDogg:
It does take a bit longer that it used. It seems to spend a majority of the time on the HTC screen. I'll look into using a different kernel thanks :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SkippyDogg:
It's the NAND version of the Nexus One. Haven't tried a new battery, this battery is exactly 1 year old from today.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SkippyDogg:
I've calibrated the heck of the battery and done it though CWM and using the calibration tool app on the phone and the problem remains. The calibration tool app usually reports 4204 mV when it's at 100%. No it does not get hot all just takes like 1-2 minuets to boot.
