Notification pannel thing on the right? Or the task bar at the bottom?

You can't make the taskbar transparent as there is nothing behind it

and if you make the notification pannel transparent you can't read anything :P
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] fec555:
Replied on an old reply
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] KiNG OMaR:
Ah yes, taskbar is what I meant :o

So it's just not possible to make the taskbar transparent? Only as much as the notification panel.

But on stock HC and TW the notification panel is a solid color in either black or gray, couldn't you do the same to the taskbar?

Lol, sorry, just a noob trying to wrap my head around this :p
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] BroBot175:
aha okay well when you press the notifications bit in the bottom right the thing that pops up is just an added layer onto what you were looking at befor

so its just your wallpaper with the notifications put on top

so i can make that transparents so you just see th wallpaper

the taskbar however as it is meant to be opaque android has not actually made anything behind it so it is just black.

i dont know how understandable that is but ive tried ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] BroBot175:
the galaxytask link as i have said befor had a bug with notifications. i have fixed that so now you can read it but the only way i could do this was to leave it with the original touchwiz for that one image

it still looks good but doesnt completely fit the theme

heres a pic of it

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29620090/SC20111219-163105.jpg

i have also fixed the batterey percentage

so go and redownload the V3 galaxytask if you have already :)

thanks to b00sted decompiling the systemuis for me i shall hopefully be rolling out the different versions throughout the next few days

thanks for being patient :)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kafluke:
Somebody please tell me how I tell android to NOT put that stupid cursor marker thing over my "w" every time I start typing a text! This is driving me nuts. Every time I go to enter text into my phone for any reason that stupid marker covers my w and then when I tap the w or start a swype with w it doesn't recognize that I'm trying to use the bloody "w"!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac16313:
I agree it should be up above the text not keyboard, but you can wait till it goes away or hit any key then backspace and it'll go away

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kafluke:
Swype is what I'm using and I don't want to have to sit and wait 5 seconds for that stupid thing to disappear. So the only way to fix is to replace the keyboard? Can I just get ICS keyboard from the market?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamdelozier:
Yes you can. Another option (similar to Swype) is Touchpal keyboard...I have found this to be the best so far.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
Agree, Touchpal is da bomb diggidy.

Do you guys have it set up like the split screen thing? I tried this for about a day, and just couldn't get used to it. I felt about as smart as a...well, you get the idea.

I'm a swiftkey x kind of guy now, but TouchPal got good reviews around here so I wanted to give it a shot. Maybe it's time to revisit...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wsigo:
Well, I just use the hardware keyboard myself. :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jano23:
I agree that the marker being over the W is a pain. I have not found a way to disable the marker yet, or shorten it's existence.

The only work around I have for now is to hit the spacebar to make it go away immediately.

Hope that helps ...

sorry never done this b4 plz guide me thru the steps clearly. didnt undrstand which folder and how to flash the splash screen with ruu
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] CB620:
No problem. You download the customruu.exe file and throw it in a folder called Splash, than you download any splash above and put it in that folder.

Power off your phone

Boot up with volume down plus power it should bring you to the tri color screen. Plug in usb wait for serial to turn to usb. Click the exe file and follow the directions.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary86:
I'm on a iPhone 4S now. I have a micro SIM adapter but I heard that I can't use this sim in the i9100 but its provisioned for the iPhone only. The AT&T local rep said he would give me a new SIM.

1. Can I just pop this SIM into the unlocked galaxy s2 and be good to go?

2. If it needs to be activated I don't know how I'm going to do this because the only phone I have is the iPhone and a regular sim won't fit inside that.

3. If I tell the AT&T that my iPhone broke and my friend is letting me borrow his galaxy S2 and I get the SIM can they activate it without the phone?

EDIT:

Popped the iPhone 4S sim in with the adapter and getting HSPA+ with no change to APN.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cristi_8ic:
As I know (because I owened an iPhone 4 before I moved to Galaxy) you don't have to activate the phone as you had done with your iPhone, when you would have to connect it to iTunes to give you full access to the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary86:
Ok. My main question is...will I get HSPA+ speeds off my iPhone 4S SIM? Or do I need to get another SIM from AT&T?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
as long as the sim is working, you should get HSPA+.

but you may have to call in and get some items changed on your account as not all the features that are used for an iphone are available on the sgs and visa versa.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary86:
What would I say to them not to get flagged by AT&T for using an unlocked phone? Could I tell them that I switched from my iPhone to a friends SGS2?

[G2 and Desire Z General] fade2black101:
Hey all

Just curious to how many of you have moved to Android from Windows Mobile, and in particular, the Touch Pro 2? (Due to the similar form factor)

I previously had the HTC Wizard, HTC Kaiser and Touch Pro 2. While I liked the phones at the time, and the openess of the WinMo platform, it soon became apparent to me just how clunky and sluggish it was (or appeared to be because of the laggy UI) compared to the iPhone. Even so, an iPhone never interested me because of the closed platform and general over-pricing.

I was getting more and more annoyed with the Touch Pro 2 though, as I stupidly didn't research that the HD2 was making an appearance soon after, and therefore knew I could never run Sense 2.5 in all its glory without slowing down the phone big time, or have the chance to run Android or the new Windows Phone 7 on it. Jackos ROMs were what I used for my phone and I was very impressed on how stable it was compared to others.

Even so, I still found myself modding it more than actually using it.

My plan was to wait until my contract ran out (A two year one) and get a "superphone." i.e. (Sensation, Galaxy S2, Evo 3D, etc)

I was aware of the Desire Z but it wasn't until I saw a clearance sale a few months back at Carphone Warehouse selling it for £200 Sim Free that I seriously considered it. Ideally wanted something more powerful but at that price I couldn't resist getting one and sticking in a GiffGaff SIM in it.

Now I am happy to bide my time and I'm eagerly awaiting ICS and making use of the GPU acceleration :)

My plan now is to wait for as long as it takes for a phone that ticks all the boxes for me and get a contract again. Looking for a well built phone (preferably HTC, as Samsung feel slightly flimsy, Dual Core or better, a bigger screen but without making the phone really wide, hopefully a slim device as I would like to give a non hardware keyboard phone a chance for once since we are a long way away from the old WinMo phones with small screens and impossible to type on screen keyboards, and a minimum of 32GB storage and a seperate Micro SD slot as I like to have most my music on it so I can use it as an MP3 player. I'm prepared to be very patient until a fantastic Android phone comes out with unanimous great reviews.

Interested to hear about your previous smartphone experiences and what you're planning for next?
[G2 and Desire Z General] WTF?:
The phone I would love to have is a T-mobile G2 (Desire-Z) with LTE added (both Verizon and AT&T LTE capable) that has the keyboard from the old TouchPro2 - that's my dream phone!!

right now, I really can't think of any phone that I would trade for my current T-mobile G2 (Desire-Z) - not even any of the newest ones

nothing has the build quality, classy style, real keyboard and developer support of this phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] biohazrd51:
Went through quite a few cheap crappy flip phones for a while. Picked a Samsung i500 (old school Palm flip smart phone) which is still laying in a box somewhere. Great phone, and still in awesome condition. Original iPhone when it first came out, then a 3GS. Both get used regularly for media remotes, with docks for the car, etc. Then made the jump to Android with the G2/DZ. I have a hard time thinking of improvements on this phone. Maybe a little thinner, and of course the usual improvements with time, dual core, more RAM, larger storage.

I also had a Moto Q9c, old windows mobile, for work, then was issued some terrible Blackberry which I carry. Maybe a Curve? Don't really care for BB at all. :p

Hmmm...First smartphone was/is a Nokia 6620 a great little Symbian phone that is still my secondary backup and also the phone I lend out if need be. First WM phone was the HTC Wizard/TMo MDA decent phone that finally just wore out. Had a TMo SDA and a HTC S620 at the same time the wife and son's. All unlocked and running custom ROM's. Then picked up an At&t Tilt/HTC Kaiser which I still have. It runs Stylez Black 5.0 and serves as my main backup phone. Had a HTC Raphael for a few days. Liked the phone hated the keyboard sold it about a week after buying it.Have had a G1 that I managed to brick and then a rooted MyTouch3G. Currently have the phones that are shown in my signature. Next phone needs to have a keyboard if at all possible. It will of course be faster and should be a minimum of dual core. More internal memory is always nice and an external memory slot is a requirement.

[G2 and Desire Z General] regius:
Hi,

I started with a HP 6315 that came with a detachable keyboard and for that time was quite impressive, then moved on to the Wizard, Kaiser, Raphael and now DZ, using them all as my mobile office.

I am thinking about getting a tablet for the mobile office purpose and using a smartphone without a hardware keyboard as a phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] amp:
A couple of Nokia's, unbranded ones under MVNO providers, RAZR's some Symbians to the G2. To be honest, I have been waiting the Nokia's E55 successor for awhile since I'm a big candybar and Symbian user as a secondary phone but heck nothing stops me from getting the hopeful G3!
[G2 and Desire Z General] ginobili1:
Thin as RAZR with a slide out Keyboard and Sense

I would love a phone which is as thin as a RAZR but with a slide out keyboard and HTC Sense packed it. And yes it would run as fast as ICS on a GNexus not like other Sense phones. Last but not least, the display would put iPhone to shame! I don't want a huge screen... 3.5 - 4" is fine, but the ppi would be 400 for this phone... :P

I know its a lot to wish for... but then again one day I hope to see this become a reality!

So I haven't had my Nook Color in a good 2 or 3 months because I left it at a relatives house and just got it back today. I charged it up for a bit and it brought up the loading screen with 2 skull and crossbones then put me into CWM. Alright, reboot system. Just booted me straight back into CWM. I was going to try and wipe everything and flash the ROM again. After I wiped data/factory reset, I am now stuck in CWM and can't even navigate through he menus.

Thanks in advance, I'll be checking this thread every few minutes.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ser.clansman:
I'm a bit confused about one thing in flashing custom roms to Defy... Probably because I'm longtime Desire user where things are done in a slightly different manner... Today I successfully completed the process of installation of a custom rom on a Defy... so being a flashing maniac I'm interested in following:

The question is wether it is necessary to flash full sbf froyo image through RSD lite (followed with rooting, 2nd init installation etc.) every time I want to install a custom rom or the custom recovery image stay installed making it possible to do necessary wipes and install a fresh rom zip?

I'd find it useful if someone could point me to a guide or a tutorial or wherever is an answer or just give me an answer.

Thanks!

I noticed that I've had several apps "uninstall" themselves.. all of them were on the SD card.

Seems to be a common bug among quite a few GB builds when I checked it out on Google.

Is there a way to disable "apps to sd"? I'm on the stock ROM, rooted.

I believe it would take a modified a2sd.sh script but I don't yet have the programming experience to feel comfortable altering it myself (I'm still on stock recovery so a nandroid backup isn't an option)

Should probably be a simple fix, any of you Dev's willing to chime in?

Are you using an aftermarket launcher or stock launcher? In any event not sure if it matters. I'm running CM7 alpha with Launcher Pro. It randomly happens to me, but I hold the back button on CM7 to force close Launcher Pro, and when it relaunches the apps are fully present. Try killing and restarting your launcher.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BlackThirteen:
I've seen this as well - currently running Bombaridier 3.5 w/ Bullet...I've had this happen on different versions of the ROM, and it's kinda like AllGamer points out: app info seems to be lost, somehow - in my observation, after a reboot. However, if you go to manage your Applications, they'll still show as installed (well, mine do anyhow.) And yeah, reinstalling is no issue.

Restart the launcher? I will have to see about that - I'm running Go Launcher Ex on Bombaridier 3.5; if I see this (hopefully not) again, I will try that to see what happens. Thanks for the tip!
