[TUT] how to mod your defaultThemes.apk using winRAR/winZIP

usually, i'm using apktool to decompile. but this one is a shortcut, you still can edit the image..:)

here is the step :

1. Backup the defaultThemes.apk original first. save it in some place you like ( up to you :D )

2. Copy defaultThemes.apk to your PC, make a new folder, so you can remember where you put it :p

3. Open the new folder and double click on defaultThemes.apk. ( set to Open With winRAR from the properties )

4. Double click res folder in the winRAR

5. Drag and Drop the folder drawable-land-mdpi and drawable-mdpi to that new folder on your PC. see the picture

6. Open the drawable-land-mdpi and drawable-mdpi folder, then edit the image. Please do not rename the name of the .png files.

7. If you done your editing, just drag and drop again those both folder into the opened winRAR again. the opposite of step 5. if there is a notification, just press OK

8. Done, put back the defaultThemes.apk [mod] into your sdcard then follow the step from the First Post

NOTE:

1. I already test this method, worked fine. but i'm not responsible if your phone goes bootloop :(

2. Cannot rename the title label, but not that necessary right?

3. Do with your own risk

4. Sorry for my poor English, hope you guys can understand :D

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bramprasetyo:
do you mean using the same image without making it black and white?

i'm affraid you cannot read the text well , i already try it..:)

i will try to make it brur or lowered the brightness.

edit:

well.. you're right.. background with color is more better.. thanks mate..

but, i have to add black transparent about 30% to make it readable..

original background with color

background color with 30% transparent

which one is better?

sama sama :)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jeffsmith01:
Okay so I put the 2.2.X Infused rom onto my sister's infuse. She came from bone stock so I had to follow the instructions to convert to ext4. But she neglected to tell me she didn't backup her contacts through google so now she has no contacts at all.

So my question is, if I make a backup of the new rom, then restore the backup I made from the stock rom, backup the contacts, then restored back to the new Infused rom, will there be any problems from going back to the stock rom, then back to the gingerbread infused rom?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Simpler solution that saved my contacts many a times, esp when moving between android builds, between phones, and what not:

1. Install GoContacts or GoContactsEx (free from market)

2. Export contacts (you can upload this to dropbox too for safekeeping)

3. Install any ROM of your choice

4. Install GoContacts or GoContactsEx

5. Import contacts

By the way, if you backup GoContacts app in TiBu and restore it, it restores contacts too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaptBananaPants:
I wasn't happy with the crap-tastic Verizion car dock, so I decided to steal an idea from another forum her and try a GPS mount. I found a really nice series at Best Buy from Bracketron - their Grip-iT Mobile Device Holders come is a variety of mounting configurations, including the vent mount I got. It's a pretty common design, but seems pretty well-built for $19.99.

The arms don't spread wide enough for the phone to fit in a landscape orientation, but you put it in portrait and then rotate the whole dock. There is enough pressure for it to stay securely on its side (my kid loves to watch Netflix on the way to school).

Anyhoo, I don't have enough posts to share a link from Best Buy, but it's easy to find on their site. Staples carries it as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mehrsau:
Wow... now that's ugly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaptBananaPants:
To be honest, I think much of that is due to trying to take a flash photo in a dimly lit car inside a dark garage. It's certainly not a work of art, but it's not as bad as the photo would indicate. It's actually very black - even the pads. You might want to google it for a better view, unless you were just hatin' for no apparent reason. In which case, I'd say, well played, sir.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaptBananaPants:
Better view.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s8int117:
Dammmn i realy like it, does it rotate?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abrasive-1:
As the OP said, it does rotate. I've had one in my car for years. Though I ditched its mount and affixed it to a ProClip (didn't like it hanging on my vent, the Volkswagen louvres are individual and can easily break). I've been pretty happy with it as it holds most anything i can throw at it as long as its not something small like an iPod nano.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] detonation:
I have pretty much that same dock, though probably a Chinese knock off (paid around $4 for it). Been using it for the last year and it works great. I like just being able to slide my phone in and out of it rather than clip it into a dock. I also eventually upgraded it to attach to my dash with one of these.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neera:
Also using this same car dock. Had it for about a year or so.

Mine is made by "Scosche" and I picked it up at the local Walmart.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wsigep1901:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siberslug:

[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
i have successfully deodexed the stock ROM but am not able to push it to my phone:(....apparently, taking a deodexed file from the stock and then trying to use it on CM7 is giving a FC issue...i feel these are due to the dependencies...so far i have tried 2 apps---

1. LG Home and

2. ARC Camera.

lg home refused 2 start, the arc camera showed the black starting screen screen but gave an immediate FC....any help???
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Of course it's different, you can't just deodex it and copy then add to CM. It's different system, framework, library, etc.

hey I have a Samsung focus unlocked with a telus sim in it. Everything works fine except MMS and 3G data. I dont really care much about mms but im paying for data. So im wondering if there's anything thing I can do to fix this. In the settings it has no data options, and for some reason it says 3g on the signal at the top of the phone but no connection when i try anything.

thanks
[Omnia 7 General] EnderPsp:
Install Network Profile from Marketplace (under Samsung Zone) or via web here.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flip193:
Ok, so finally accustommed to a galaxy s 4g after switching from a vibrant I got my rom installed, the cwm, the lighting zap and everything else. How ever my brother bought me a bigger microsd card for Christmas and its in the mail. Im just curious. Will I be able to put that SD card in and I'm good to go or do I have to reflash cwm or something?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] CSOS:
You should copy all contents from your current SD card to the new one, in case settings and APPS are stored there."pretty sure they are"
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Caligula36:
What's the best way to format the new.card for use with the Roms were using.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
If you're on a windows computer you can just go to my computer and right click your sd card, format and pick fat32.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Caligula36:
So there's no ext4 formatting like for the system partition. What if you're on a Mac? Wouldn't you format as Unix file system or just ms-dos. This overwrites the ext4 partition on the card?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
You could format it ext4 on Linux (not sure about MacOS but probably), however, the kernel in your phone must support ext4 - like you mentioned with the system partiton on voodoo kernels. You might have to go on and manually change the mount table on the phone so thay it mounts it ext4.vs. vfat/fat32.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
I just got my 32GB cl 4.

I moved all contents from my old (including a backup of my EFS) to my external HD.... formatted it (using the phones storage settings).

Powered off my phone.

Put in my new microSD and rebooted... the necessary Android files show up automatically... I then moved all my important files over as a copy/paste from the external HD.

Rebooted... then went into recovery and made sure voodoo was enabled. It was... no issues.. running great.

Hi!

Installed CyanogenMOD 7.2.0 RC4 at my Samsung Galaxy Mini. Most things works except what sip audio, Skype audio are heard in internal speakers and not headphones. Other sounds are heard in headphones. The issue occurs in both wired and bluetooth headphones. What could be the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beenyweenies:
Loving my Nexus so far, but I am experiencing a few frustrating issues and I wanted to see if others are having the same problems.

The first is that the Google voice widget doesn't work right. It will load my conversations, but at some random point the widget will go blank. Deleting and replacing the widget seems to work for a short time before it happens again.

Second issue is the Google Music lock screen controls are dead for me. Fast forward and rewind do nothing, I have to unlock the screen and use the app itself. This seems to be the case whether the app is open full screen or not.

One other Google music issue is that, when I start streaming an album, it almost always stops at the end of the first song, not locked up but just sitting there doing nothing until I skip to the next song and from then on it works fine.

The low res thumbnails in the contacts app really bug me too, but at least that seems to be a documented issue (that apparently won't ever be fixed).

Again, I love this phone but Google gives way too much fodder to the haters with stupid sloppy little issues like this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grannypotts:
Having the same issue with the Google Voice Widget.

Glad to hear I'm not alone, meaning somebody is likely working on a fix... I hope.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveid:
I would forget about the tagging and create sub-folders for the tracks using an AlbumArt.jpg in each folder. Can't make creating your compilation that much more difficult, and you can simply queue the whole folder in Poweramp which will queue each sub-folder in the order you place them in (just name your subs numerically).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coolvibes:
This is not an option i cannot use an albumart.jpg in each folder since i need multiple album art for each compilation using an albumart.jpg would show only one album art
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveid:
You are not paying attention to what I said, make your compilation like this:

COMPILATION FOLDER\

COMPILATION FOLDER\TRACK01

COMPILATION FOLDER\TRACK01\Music.mp3

COMPILATION FOLDER\TRACK01\AlbumArt.jpg

COMPILATION FOLDER\TRACK02

COMPILATION FOLDER\TRACK02\Music.mp3

COMPILATION FOLDER\TRACK02\AlbumArt.jpg

etc. etc.

then you can put one track and one AlbumArt.jpg into your TRACKXX subfolders. Just try it, if it doesn't work how you want it to work I will provide a 100% refund.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benasaur:
Hi guys,

I am having almost exactly the same problem as Coolvibes. The problem is device agnostic and player agnostic, it only displays one artwork for all "loose" tracks not grouped into albums.

My directory structure is like this:

.../music

[loose tracks 1]

[loose tracks 2]

[album 1]

[album 2]

etc.

Basically, all the albums where the is only one artwork per album displays properly, and all the loose tracks display only 1 artwork (which is wrong for every track except that one). This is problematic if you want to manage your own music and directory structure is important.

I have organized everything via various tag editors and downloaded artwork via Windows Media Player. All files display properly in WMP.

So I guess my question is, is there any other way to correctly display album art on Android devices without having to dispense with your directory structure?

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] underlines:
The android.provider.MediaStore.Audio class is really screwed up on Android. It doesn't allow to define different covers for audio in the same Album.

PlayerPro was able to use ID3 Cover-Art instead of the MediaStore cover art, but this doesn't work since a few versions.

Same goes for most players, as they always use the MediaStore Class on Android to get the cover.

Are there any developers who weren't lazy and used their own implementation for Tag reading on Android?

To work around it, you can tag the Album-Artist tag on all files with the same Album tag:

Artist	Title	Album	AlbumArtist	CoverTag	Displayed Cover
Daft Punk	Get lucky	Singles	Daft Punk	get lucky	get lucky
Deftones	Bored	Singles	Deftones	bored	get lucky
Avicii	Levels	Singles	Avicii	levels	levels
Avicii	Wake me up	Singles	Avicii	wake me up	wake me up

This work around will correctly display different covers for each of those songs, all in the "Singles" album, BUT not for the two different songs by Avicii. It's because the Mediastore Class will allow different covers for different "AlbumArtists" on a single Album. Since the AlbumArtist tag for both Avicii songs are the same, it will only use one of the covers for all Avicii songs in the same album "Singles".

Sorry, but this really pisses me off.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinkum01:
Busy setting up my music on the HTC One and ran into the same problem. Tried a few players and MixZing displays the artwork associated with the track regardless of the folder or album title,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Maybe you can use the music folder player (PlayerPro & Neutron Music Player have the feature) without re-tagging files.

For example:

There are three files: 02 - Track 1, 03 - Track 2, and 02 - Track 3, just like below

01 - Track 3

02 - Track 1

03 - Track 2

you need to put track numbers in the file name, like this

01 - Track 1

02 - Track 2

03 - Track 3

Sorry to make this like insulting someone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usafle:
I know this thread is WAY old, but I am running into the same "hair pulling" problem myself. Used the app "Tag & Rename" and set everything up. I have about 2.6GBs of "90s music" that I just want to show up in Play Music as ONE album but display different cover art for each individual song.

Tried everything. The only way it shows one album for all the music is if I select "Part of a Compilation" and build the metadata that way, but then Google Play music just uses one cover art for all 300+ songs. If I uncheck "Part of a Compilation" then each artist is it's own entry into Google Play music with different cover art for each song. But, now I have 300 different songs under the album "Ultimate 90s" which doesn't work for me either.

Driving me nuts it is. Anyone figure out a way to force it to display multiple cover art for multiple artists within the same album?!?!

I'll never ever buy any Dell phones - the Dell Streak 5 experience was a really bad one. Even if Dell releases the Streak's successor, I will surely not follow them anymore. The Samsung Note is far better and I will stick with the likes of Samsung/HTC from now on.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Additional info:

Dell has the press release list: UMTS 900/1700/1700/2100, the double 1700 isnt a typo, it supports both AWS and the 1700 used in Japan. (More techincally it's bands I/IV/VIII/IX)

UMTS Frequency Bands - Wikipedia

That means that it's likely the same hardware submodel that will be released in Japan, minus the small logo on the battery cover(?) and the obvious difference in OS

Strangely enough, IX band is listed as supporting NTT DoCoMo, which is a competetor of Softbank.

The S5 model launched in Japan was the US submodel, which means that potentially the SPro will be compatable with multiple carriers in Japan over 3g

About Softbank:

Streak Pro Product Page - Softbank

The SPro is in fact slated for a January release for Softbank. Softbank does not list the 3g bands supported on their submodel, but this is true for many of the phones they list.

As stated before theirs is listed as supporting Android 2.3. 4.0 would be assumed to be available some time after launch, but neither Dell nor Softbank seems to have any comments on this.

The Android models will be the first in the Dell mobile lineup to support Stage 2.0. The individial widgets are available for download, but cannot be used without the actual launcher currently.

About Yi:

Dell's flash demo for the SPro

First impressions are that Yi is definitely mantaining it's android heritage. The primary difference (besides the removal of google's services) is the change in the UX (user experience), it more closely mimics iOS in that it does not require the use of the menu button, and could possibly get by with only a home button.

Android 3.x and now 4.0 are also drifting in this direction incidentally, as they have been shedding their menu buttons in support of a native menu button in the title bar of the app. 3.0+ only shows the menu button on older apps that have not been updated to take advantage of the new titlebar.

Screenshots of Baidu Yi on the SPro D43

Yi is basically android 2.3.5 but rethemed

Think moto blur or samsung touchwiz but taken to a much farther level.

Yi completly replaces Goog's GApps (as they are blocked in china anyway) and fully rethemes the UI. Besides that it is CLEARLY android running underneath it.

I imagine the upstream source (ie the people that make YI) are the reason it's on 2.3.5 and not newer, as 2.3.6/7 dont add much user facing that isnt gapps specific.

The rom listed there is 049 region 99 with the full version tag being

MILLM1A104399

0xx roms are generally early prototype roms, until I can find a screenshot that's clearly from a retail unit I cant say if region 99 is a beta region or the one for the yi

Region 01 and 51 were previously used prototype rom regions
