This mod will add the following features:

battery % numbers with step of 1 instead of 5 as by default

battery charging icon displays %

no carrier text

no wastes space around clock (especially noticeable with 24H clock)

CRT off effect (it's an animation when screen gets turned off)

The battery icons were taken from [KITCHEN][12/20] UOT Kitchen (Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen) version 4.0

Created from and tested on Nitro HD P930 (AT&T) with stock rom.

Disclamer: as usual you are the one who is responsible if you brick you phone :P

The attached files can be flashed with CWM. In my tests I had to install package twice without reboot, otherwise it would either get stuck at LG logo or boot loop.

Make sure create a backup with CWM before installing this!

If you don't want use CWM you can install it manually:

backup /system/framework/framework-res.apk and /system/app/SystemUI.apk

copy framework\framework-res.apk and app\SystemUI.apk from package to sd card on your phone

a) using Root Explorer (DO NOT USE ES FILE EXPLORER OR YOU'LL BRICK YOUR PHONE!) copy framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from sd card to /system/.

Change permissions to:

move /system/framework-res.apk to /system/framework/

and /system/SystemUI.apk to /system/app/

reboot (don't worry about force closes, it's normal)

b) using adb from your computer, make sure phone is set to debug mode.

open cmd window on your computer and type (each line is separate command):

adb shell
su
mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/
chmod 0644 /system/framework-res.apk
chown root.root /system/framework-res.apk
cp /sdcard/SystemUI.apk /system/
chmod 0644 /system/SystemUI.apk
chown root.root /system/SystemUI.apk
mv /system/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
mv /system/SystemUI.apk /system/app/
mount -oremount,ro /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
exit
adb reboot
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
It'd be really cool to figure out how to manually cook an apk like itiskonrad did, but with percentage text in 1% increments on top of the blue battery he created.
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
Awesome! Thanks, V@tno! Yeah, Malnilion, if it's okay with V@tno, maybe I can take a look at it and try to group it with the blue icons/blue battery/no carrier stuff if he's cool with that?
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
absolutely!

And by the way, after seeing the vertical icon I noticed that we have so much wasted space between battery icon and clock, never noticed it before, now it bothers me...do you think there is a way remove that space?
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
Hmm, one question though. If I apply the % to the stock battery, what color do I choose for the number? =) As the battery drains, it has a white background, so I guess no white. So just black?
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
Quick question for V@tnos! I decompiled the framework-res.apk that you got from UOT Kitchen, and noticed that all the battery icons normally used by the phone (typically stored in framework-res/res/drawable-xhdpi) are missing. The battery icons being used in this theme are being stored in framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi, the folder designated for lower-resolution icons for lower res phones. My question is did you delete the battery icons from xhdpi? Or did UOT kitchen do it automatically?
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
No, I did not touch the .apk files. Must be UOT kitchen itself...

I wonder when/where these xhdpi images are being used?
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
In the nitro, xhdpi images include pretty much all the icons, battery, buttons used. All modifications I made were to copies of the icons used in xhdpi. UOT kitchen can't handle xhdpi yet. It's only designed for phones up to qHD, which still use images in hdpi. So when UOT kitchen made the phone use 1% battery increments, the only way it knew how was to direct the framework to use hdpi images of the battery, since it doesn't understand how to modify xhdpi yet. This is fine, but I'm wondering if since it's directing the battery icons to hdpi (these are about half the resolution of the xhdpi icons) if it's also directing ALL the other icons to hdpi. Did you notice any drop in quality (or size) of the other icons unrelated to the battery when installing this apk, in particular the install icon (the arrow with the horizontal green line going through it that pops up when you're downloading/installing an app)? If nothing else changed, then it's good. Then the only things that have been modified are the battery icons, and I can see if I can just swap them out with higher res originals with added percent values....
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
looks cool, about to do this but re: step 3b

could you clarify what adb is?

thanks in advance!
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
adb.exe is a command-line tool, part of a set of Android Developer tools. You usually have to download the Android Software Developer's kit to get...But since I know you recently used SuperOneClick to root your phone, you can just grab it from that install.

Be sure whatever directory you use, you copy over all the files inside the ADB directory from SuperOneClick
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
hey cool, thanks! firing up the superoneclick here in a bit.

:)
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
You know, now I do see the battery icon is a bit fuzzy, but it really, really barely visible...we are talking about 24% difference, 38x38 vs 50x50

Added CRT off effect
[LG Nitro HD] blaineball:
I am running Domination HD rom, flashed with CMW, boots fine but i have no notification bar at all.

Any ideas or is it maybe only compatible with stock roms?
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
I think it's due to Domination is deodexed rom, this mod is not dedexed.

I don't know if there is a way use dedexed SystemUI.apk on stock rom or not...

I'm in process of testing phone with no CWM installed, so I don't want risk it soft brick

I've attached SystemUI.odex file, try put it in /system/app/ using the manual method above.

If it works, perhaps deodex version could possibly make it work on stock rom as well.
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
Deodexed SystemUI.apk works fine on non-deodexed stock rom. I'm using it now in order to get the transparent notification bar on my otherwise stock rom.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Did you have to delete SystemUI.odex ?
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
Yup, deleted the odex after putting in the deodexed apk. Works fine as far as I can tell. Been using it this way for a month or so and no signs of anything weird. And I think since only SystemUI.apk is deodexed, it didn't seem to change my boot time when turning on my phone. Still right around 55 seconds.
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
How would I add just the CRT effect?
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
It's actually pretty simple. Here's a tutorial

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076051

Pretty much, you need to decompile framework-res.apk, change one value (in res/values/bools.xml, change config_animateScreenLights from true to false), recompile, and pop it back in your phone (the proper way, of course. With correct permissions). But of course, make sure you have the necessary backups in case anything goes wrong =)

Did you clear dalvik cache?

Hello. Can you tell me what version is om the first post?

Because i have version 4.0.4 and in my phone don't show the icon of 4G and nothing else in that place.

Someone can told me why?

P.s. sorry my bad english
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
By looking at the dates, I assume this is for Gingerbread. If I'm correct, that might explain the problem you're describing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
The latest update from Dropbox suck big time and I tell you why.

They changed the long press to download a file to Export option.

To ddownload a file, you do long press, choose Export, choose sdcard, then choose folder destination.

You must do this each time for each file you want to download.

This is way inefficient, and pain in the ass if you want to download multiple files.

Sucks!

The previous version was better, simply long press then choose download for each file.

Then it will be downloaded to the sdcard/dropbox folder.

And to add the injury, they moved the dropbox folder to Android/data/...

Which is not recognizeable by Gallery for example.

So, anyone has the older version? Please attach here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
Pm me ill email to u if u want
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] decalex:
Agreed.. the change in 'save location' sucks.

What I do to save a file.. which is just as quick, is tap the arrow, click "favorite".

Then it downloads it to the random ass directory it saves to.

I bookmark that directory in astro or root explorer so I can easily jump to it.

I know it's not the intention of this thread (which should prob be in general or q&a), but for anyone else frustrated with the new features.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Thanks decalex for the tip.

They could easily overcome this by:

- Add "default download location" setting, where we can specify folder location to store downloaded file

- Bring back the long press download which will be put in the above location

That should be enough.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] superm3n:
Ok, so I have been watching this forum and the xda forum as a whole for quite some time now, and finally made the jump to root. I got the update to my razr this morning and this evening I rooted.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorbache:
Hello everybody,

I have an HTC Desire that has a problem with the volume buttons. The buttons were working until I dropped it on the floor. The phone had a silicone case and screen protector so it seemed fine until I tried to adjust the volume but it wouldn't work both up and down. I verified the problem by trying to go into the bootloader using vol-down + power but it wouldn't work.

I noticed that before I dropped the phone the volume button was rather fidgety meaning that I could use my thumb to move the button sideways and make it pop out a little bit but despite all that the button worked and I was able to flash LeeDroid on it.

After I dropped it, the button seemed to stabilized. I could no longer pop it out or move it side to side it seemed like the button popped back in and was secure but the function didn't work. I can still hear the click but nothing happened.

So thinking that something was just loose, I decided to void my warranty (if I had one) and disassemble my Desire in order to fix it.

Once I got in I discovered that the volume button was not as simple as it seemed. It appears the "clicker" (the rubber circle piece that makes the click sound) and the actual circuit board that controls the volume is held together on a metal plate with black tape. This means the purple plastic piece has nothing to do with the functionality of the volume key it just pushes the clicker taped to the circuit board.

So I'm confused and stuck on how to fix this. I checked the black ribbon and it seemed to be fine, no tears or anything. I'm wondering how a drop could affect the volume button considering everything is held together with tape including the volume control circuit board and the ribbon that connects it.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this or anyone know what the volume circuit board looks like without the black tape? I'd like to fix the volume button so I can flash Gingerbread on it.

So I downloaded the PH86IMG.zip file from the thread on how you install the current version of clockwork mod back at the developers thread of the amaze 4G forum and when ever i go into Bootloader mode it would "update" but at the end it will say

Main Version is older

Update Fail!

did i do anything wrong? i followed the instructions and everything is there a newer PH86IMG.zip file that will work. BTW i got that OTA update from Tmobile. im not sure how many OTA updates there were im assuming there was only 1.

Any Help would be appreciated
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
I don't know exactly the details and versions for our phone, but on the MT4G we had issues if your radio was newer than the ROM or PH15IMG.zip file you were trying to use in bootloader.

For example, if you had a GB radio and tried to flash a Froyo rom through bootloader it wouldn't work. You get the same error that you're getting. I think it was determined you can only do this if your true s-off.

I would check your radio and the stock rom versions available, make sure the rom you want is newer than your radio. So you might have to change your radio to a previous version. This is all based on my experience with the MT4G, so it could be wrong here but it sounds similar. Good luck!

[Nook Color General] reredundant:
Hi all, I recently received a Nook color as was able to create a bootable SD card running CM 7.2 ([CM7.2-RC0] MiRaGe - KANG) via Verygreen's size agnostic SD tool. It works great, but I want to be able to change the default theme of the nook. I have already installed Rom Manager which allowed me to install Clock Work Mod recovery, but every time I try to boot into recovery from CWM nothing happens. I see the linux penguin and text stating that "All steps complete, flushing caches again, Preparing to shutdown."

Is there any way to install CWM recovery from an SD-ran version of CM? I have been looking for a solution for days but each road leads nowhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an Optus RAZR (but on Telstra). Easiest way is to root it, and use Titanium Backup Pro to disable or delete the Optus bloat. If you choose to delete, make sure you back it up first.

Hi ~ everyone!

I am studying about android kernels. And there is two cpu schedule: cfs & bfs

I googled both and found that cfs is keeping the CPU utilization of each app about the same.

Using cfs kernel, when android runs more apps, each app can occupy less cpu resource.

Is that means performance will be slower?

Thanks!

Was going to flash it without doing ClockworkMod Rom Backup but I don't think I can flash non I9100G Roms without bricking it and if I find a I9100G ROM it probably sucks compared to some of the others.

Looks like I better sell this phone for what little value it's worth. The firmware on it has completely crippled it. It won't even let me install the android market app on there. It's completely locked down.

[General Questions and Answers] FreeK200:
Hello everyone. I'm running an unlocked HTC myTouch 4g slide on AT&T, but the truth is, I have no data plan. Originally, I had disabled all internet access completely, but it removed my ability to send and receive mms message. This angered me because I wasn't getting the service that I payed for because I chose to ignore their outrageously priced data plans. Needless to say, I quickly reenabled data access, but I'm watching it like a hawk.

On my phone, I've disabled my phones data connection (Android 2.3.4 settings menu) and made it such that it can only connect through wifi. For one reason or another, it still allows me to send or receive messages, which I'm grateful for. On the other end of the spectrum, through monitoring with 3g watchdog, I'm noticing that I'm still sending and receiving data. At first, I thought this just to be texting, because, as far as I'm aware, texting works by bandwagoning on the data.

Unfortunately, my assumption was wrong. After not receiving or sending a text for a few hours, I noticed that I used about 15kb of data. My question is whether or not it's billable, especially since I disabled my cell phones data through the firmware.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
SMS wont use data, MMS will.

If those 15kb are billable... no way to find out besides waiting for the bill.
