[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
sweet!! haha... and thanks... it's about to look a whole lot better... i was relying on others to create something for me... mostly b/c i'm new to this stuff... but i just learned how to edit .9.png files and resign apk files so i can finally work on other areas of apks and themes that i'm using :D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
Well congrats! I'll be looking for your theme ;)

I updated the OP with the Dynasty version :) Apparently, the links are called from framework, because changing the color in the APK doesn't work... and I used Fergie's hex code for the purple.

Let me know if you want me to change anything :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
awesome!!! i love it!! :) fergie's "purple" is still a bit "pink" for my liking but don't worry about changing anything just yet... i know he was still tinkering with that color... i'll also play around a bit and see what i come up with...

i actually feel like creating a theme now that you mention it... i originally was just going to change things on other peoples themes and be happy with that... but i have something in my head that i might want to get out... nothing too crazy just yet tho!

where would i get a basic ICS file to tinker with for theming??
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
Best thing to do is find an AOSP, Deodexed, Stock ROM. I think Peter Alphonso's ROM is stock... Otherwise, theme for the ROM that you are using so you can theme any of the goodies that are baked in...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
thanks... i'm using oICSv43 right now... i was hoping for just that part of the file so i don't get lost in editing the entire rom lol :D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
You want system/framework > framework-res.apk

and

system/app > SystemUI.apk

Those two APK's will give you the icons and XML files that the system pulls from and even some parts of other APKs pull from there as well.

Other than that, you'll want to grab the specific APK that you want to theme, but framework and systemUI will control what Android itself looks like.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
okay... forgive me... i'm self-teaching here :D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
No problem at all, we all had to start somewhere. If I can be of assistance, let me know :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
hey denverg... i hope you don't mind... but i made an edit to this... i had this send button on my inverted gmail and had to add it to the mms you provided... lmk if you want me to upload the .apk or image to use! i was also thinking of changing the color on the emoticons to be more ICS'y

btw, i finally learned how to decompile apk files and edit the xml in them... now if i can just figure out a way to view, real-time, what i'm editing lol
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] stimulus_pi:
Thanks for this mod. I like the inverted style!

Just one small thing that bothers me: Everytime I start the sms app there's a white screen for 0.5 before it turns black. Is there a way to change this?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
Don't mind at all... it looks nice.

If you figure out how to view in real time what you do.... you share that ****. Immediately.

Glad your getting the hang of it :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
Yeah, I'm going to try to get back to this today. I spent some time on the people app this week to get that done. I'll check into that though...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
thanks... and ROTFLMAO @ sharing it hahaha... i'm pretty persistent so if i do find something, i'll definitely share it!! ;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] shane6374:
That would be so nice. Even if there was an emulator where you could load it up on the PC instead of having to flash and test.

For myself, I have gTalk and MMS inverted. I've been working on the latest gmail, but have run into many snags on it.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
scratch that idea lol... after searching the interwebz, it seems that xml files only carry information and aren't meant for being displayed... i thought maybe i could do a few edits to an xml file to make it like an html file for viewing... then just edit it back to xml (long process i know)... it might just be easier to learn to edit xml's lol
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] shane6374:
lol, in my short time with the ns4g, I have spent way more time editing xml's than I have with gimp or photoshop.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mike216:
I almost cried today to find out I can't use my favorite mms app on androidusers rom.I used it fine on CM? Does anyone know how I can make it work.I have GSM but like I said its worked fine in the past

BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
Mike, hit me up with your APK and I'll theme it... can't do anything for you in terms of auto split though...

Here it is,thanks a lot denverg. I love your dinasty BI.I really appreciate it

BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
Here you go :) Let me know if it works okay. I was able to flash it over oICS and it looked fine... I used the colors from the Dynasty version too.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mike216:
Working well and looks amazing! I really appreciate you doing this for us. Will donate very soon. Before Monday

BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mike216:
If you get the time (no rush) could you make us a CM battery mod for this rom,thanks

BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
No problem, glad its working.

I don't take donations ;)

If you really feel strongly about it, donate to a charity for needy or sick kids and think about me while you do it :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
Sure. If you can, post the SystemUI and I'll get it done for ya ;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mike216:
Dude set one up! I insist, ill give you 40 bucks to set one up

Thanks a bunch denverg, I have to cash my check tomorrow and I would feel much better if you would consider accepting a donation

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
Here you go man, here is the battery mod. Let me know if it works :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mike216:
Looking perfect and greatly appreciated

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Milly7:
+1. Love your mods denverg. Your inverted apps and transparent mods take ics to another level. What's even better is I can also flash them on ics on my evo 3d too :D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mike216:
http://db.tt/vzzKJq7F

Would you be able to theme this mms apk like you did yesterday for me. I live dynasty BI if possible. Would love to have my galaxy nexus looking close to as good as my beloved NS.

For the record this new GN isn't much better than my NS? A little bigger but the colors on my NS are a million and a half times brighter and better. Its unbelievable how much of a difference that voodoo colors make. Thanks denverg
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] anaglich:
Sorry to beat a dead horse but why cant I see the ics background of the black and blue gradient. All I see is black.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Braneless:
My SWAG*:

Because the colors are just the opposite of the stock white color. The inverse of white is not bluish gray, it's black.

To achieve what you're looking for requires a complete re-theming.

*scientific wild-ass guess
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] snandlal:
Apkmanager is excellent
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] GalaxyUser:
I love this theme, thank !
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
You can't see the ICS Black Background (black/blue... basically grey) because it's not there. This is a black #000000 background.

I haven't gotten that far yet. There are other things I want to do before I start pulling in styles, which is where that background you love so much comes from :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] bdubs4200:
Can we remove the contact pictures all together??? I remember in cm7 there was an option to remove contact pictures. (Default ones look bad, and make me feel lonely) and I feel it scrolls much better sans a square icon.... THAT would be perfect :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
Which version are you using?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] bdubs4200:
Bl) 2.5. I hope I was clear enough. I'm hungover :-P I'm just lookin for contact drawer to rid the contact picture/image. I'm loving these inverted themes though man GREAT work. Its how they should look stock.

EDIT: running AOKP build 14 if that helps ya any :) THANK YOU for your interest and contributions!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
Here you go, man. Let me know how it looks, I can't test this one :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
So you want no pics at all? Remove the unknown contact pic as well as the known contact pic and just leave black there?

Just making sure...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] bdubs4200:
Yes please! :-D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
i think he's just talking about the list of texts not the actual text messages?? sorry to confuse :D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] bdubs4200:
Sooo no luck? Or did I not make sense with my request? Denver feel free to pm me if your up to the challenge. Also I could explain a little more clear what I was trying to explain ;-)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
I'm up to it :) Just haven't looked into it yet, but I will. I think I know what your after, so I'll post back when I have an update.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] bdubs4200:
Thanks a ton man! I (I'm sure along with everyone else) greatly appreciate your contributions to the nxs4g :) thanks again.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mr.chow:
Hey denverg I love your work, I was wondering if you'd consider using this blue MMS ICS icon as it's more consistent with the original one. I've attached a zip with the icon scaled to all the sizes you should need. Let me know what you think.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] bdubs4200:
Thank you! The other one looks like the gingerbread icon one just blue. This is nice. Thanks again.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Antoo1984:
little mod

it's possible to remove the white (grey) line between message?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
I've been looking for those lines since I did this. If/when I find them, they'll be gone, I promise.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
i'd opt for keeping the horizontal lines... how else will you be able to separate the messages? the vertical lines can go for sure tho!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Emama:
+1

that's the reason I kept the Green icon now ;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] treezy26:
Can we get a red theme to match red synergy?

idk how I got here...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
hey denver, any chance you can PM me, or post here, the xml's (and the line) to edit for each part of the MMS? i'm mainly looking for the text/time colors to alter... i'm trying out some new themes and i figured i'd ask this before trying to figure it out myself :D

thank you sir!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
this is an inverted (by denverg) version themed by me with black/red/gray/white... denverg, please ask to remove this if you don't wan it posted here!!

some differences to note are:

all red font... time stamps are gray...

contact icon is themed

messenger icon is ics red

red send button

red cursor

i'm testing out the feel of the sent/received message color to see how i like it!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zeeraf:
could this be made with blue instead of red ???
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] bearsblack:
I second this! Sounds great since I really don't use anyone's pics..

I <3 Ice Cream Kangwiches
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
blue is already in the OP ;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
btw, i made a few changes to that above file...

all text is red (sent/received)

added red cursor
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
@1dynasty...

First, sorry I didn't check this to get you the information that you needed/wanted... :(

Second, that looks sweet, nice work, man :)

The cursor can be changed by opening up the cursor.9.png and changing the color of the pixel... hopefully that makes sense....
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
no worries... i got it all worked out... thanks man ;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] DaXmax:
@the1dynasty, can u guide me how to do for People.apk and MMS.apk Im kinda lost here...

*beep**beep* IMDriving...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
i didn't invert this... i just used the version that was in the OP and changed the colors to match a theme i'm working on!!

when i get home Monday, i might have some time to look into the people apk as that's the one i'm already started on... i was getting some random FC's after changing some things on it so idk yet... i have to look into it some more!! but i'll be happy to share!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aras1:
can we port the beats audio from the sensation xe/xl to our nexus ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
is it purely software? I would of assumed there is a hardware component as well...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aras1:
no htc says that a chip is in these phones but also other htc phones have beats integrated with a custom rom like the HD2, Sensation and others

so it should be possible or ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
The app Volume+ has an option for beats emulation
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cimer:
I don't think you can port it from the sensations. However I HAVE A WAY!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
It is just an equalizer that can be replicated with DSP Manager
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cimer:
What you really need to do is....Go out to lets say best buy...Buy over priced speakers or headphones, and then listen to dre. Then you will have beats
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aras1:
i already have beats - headphones but i meant the beats software for smartphones (like the sensation xe) ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aras1:
nothing changes when i change something in the app .. i think it's not compatible with ics
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kennyb123:
Oh, Volume+ works, because I would have returned my SGN without it. I think I set the volume to +10, which seemed to be the loudest I could get without distortion. Your mileage may vary.

In regards to using V+ for tweaking the trebles and the basses... I played around with it for about 30 seconds, and it definitely works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cimer:
Right I forgot to say try to mod them into your device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
It seems that supercurio is working on voodoo sound for our GN's (which is far superior to beats sound) so I'd wait for that. I don't get the hype with those things, I am a sound mixing engineer and they sound nothing close to studio monitors. I'm sure the sound could be emulated with a dsp app, but dsp manager doesn't work on my Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
beats audio. another example of how marketing works. there's always a sap for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deathshead:
Volume + works ok for volume, but the beats EQ, bass boost eq, have little to no effect on bluetooth audio.

DSP manager from CM really woke up my car stereo with super deep lows and no distortion.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G.I.Geoff:
So I left my epic in my duffel bag for a couple hours and apparently the jostling loosened the back and the battery popped it. The battery contacts (inside the phone) got caught and when I took it out they bent. Well this affect battery life? should I straighten them out? Or should I take it to a sprint service center?

/sig

"What kinda phone do you have?" "Epic." "I see that! And I want one, so what's the name?" "epic." "no, I know your phone is epic, what kind of phone is it?!" "legendary?"
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Of course it depends on how bent whether it will be a problem. They need to align straight and not touch each other. If the contact is firm and working then it is good but you might want a Sprint tech to verify it. If it reboots because of a loose connection then that can cause data corruption.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dohturdima:
Whatever you do, don't straighten these contacts out yourself. They break easily, as something similar (bent contact) happened to mine and I decided to DIY. Had to get a replacement as one of the contacts broke... bring it to a Sprint store to be safe.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G.I.Geoff:
It seems to get good contact, but would a picture help?

/sig

"What kinda phone do you have?" "Epic." "I see that! And I want one, so what's the name?" "epic." "no, I know your phone is epic, what kind of phone is it?!" "legendary?"
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
They look straight, just pulled forward. Just be careful and make sure the battery presses them straight in and you will be alright until a tech can try to straighten them out.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G.I.Geoff:
Thanks. They may look straight but they slant to the right. But they make full contact so it's all good for now

/sig

"What kinda phone do you have?" "Epic." "I see that! And I want one, so what's the name?" "epic." "no, I know your phone is epic, what kind of phone is it?!" "legendary?"

Can i root my phone and just keep stock ROM ? I just want to wait for new roms to be released on new base...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Master&Slave™:
Yea rooting always leaves you stock first. Its always an option to flash a custom ROM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayjayjoker2:
I found an app for the optimus 3D it does FM radio another family memeber has the infuse and wants to know if there is one I tried it on his phone but it force closes so is there one for this phone
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jvanlew:
There is no FM radio on the Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayjayjoker2:
Okay thank you
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
not to confuse the issue but there is fm capable hardware in the infuse, it just doesnt have drivers and probably lacks an antenna. but yeah, you will never see fm on the infuse or captivate (the captivate doesnt have fm hardware) i dont know why samsung doesnt build north american phones with fm but other manufacturers do. just something you have to deal with i guess.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayjayjoker2:
yeah with LG the app uses my headphones as an antanna

sent from the worst network AT&T and the worst phone brand LG and a bad phone LG thril
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mikig_mkd:
I would love to see FM radio on my Infuse. To bad almost every phone in the US lacks FM radio. Something to do with internet radio services being popular there(to use up more data plan):mad:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
Thank Broadcom

Sent from my SGH-I997
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Also because FM radio in the USA sucks.

Thank Clear Channel for that, not Broadcom.

I know this question has been asked 100+ times but I was wanting an updated answer of what is in your opinion the best performance ROM/Kernel

hey

just wondering if there was a way of exiting ANDROID OS and back into Windoze 6.5?

PLS NOTE i am not talking exiting an app.

I booted from WINDOWS and i want to go back into Windows after faffing around with Android.

TIA
[General Topics] xethor:
You can't be so vague, maybe you should give us some background info such as what phone you have?

Am I right in guessing you have a HTC HD2? In that case, you should ask here.
[General Topics] juzsayin:
it says it is a htc 8282 ... whatever that is ... when i connect it to windoze it says its a HTC dream

is it possible to exit android and back to windows.

the only way is to take out the battery as none of the buttons work, not even the power one
[General Topics] juzsayin:
SOLVED IT in marketplace ... an app that reboots and powers off.

Pity they can just exit android and back to windows instead of rebooting
[General Topics] Archer:
Android is not running on top of windows. The app that runs Android reboots the phone before Android runs. (If it's like it was when I was first running Android on my HD2.)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petran_7:
Hi everyone,

I have flashed the latest Oxygen rom for my Nexus One, for some days.

The last 3 days my phone does not find my wirelles network. Other devices connecto to my router normally.

It also finds other networks but not mine.

I tried reflashing my rom (without wipes, like an update).

You know I need WiFi.

What can I do? Can I flash another wifi driver?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
You can try a different kernel, although I am not sure about compatibilities with the Oxygen ROM.

You may also want to try a system wipe by manually wiping the system partition through recovery. Then reflash your ROM (and, if needed, gapps). If that doesn't work, try a full wipe and see if that works.

I've been following this thread for a bit now and looks like the dev has been going through some builds(albeit, alpha) pretty quickly.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1402431

It looks to be an attempt to help/take some pressure of teamhacksung CM9 endeavor. Op has got a bunch of stuff fixed(mic, camera still broken). It looks like Codeworkx has even been giving OP some direction too.

I'm sure a lot of you have been following this development too, but when it all gets worked out, what does/can it mean for us I777 owners?

Edit: I know there are a bunch of ICS anticipation threads already(I'm not trying to add to clutter) but I did debate putting this in Q&A :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
That sounds promising. It's a good thing that they're close to a new kernel. Would love to test it out, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work to hellraise it. I really don't take pics, and I could easily just text people if need be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ccouch5859:
You know it works if you flash it like they say to right? No need to hellraise. The soft keys are a little wonky, but its fun to get a good feel of aosp ics.
