Mods please close this as I was able to resolve the issue. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasilvers:
So what did you do?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Bill_Dollar:
From the sound of his issue, he probably let the phone charge. At times the battery can get quite low on an Evo and can take some time to charge especially if you use an aftermarket power cord. (One lit supplied By HTC.)

Has anyone had their battery replaced? How much did it cost?
[Galaxy Tab General] Reb0rn:
I bought one from eBay and it workes great and increased my battery time with over 2 hours...

Wasn't hard at all to replace once you got the tab opened.

[Galaxy Tab General] burhanistan:
Replacement batteries for the Tab are running around $55 on ebay and you can change it out yourself by following the pictures on iFixit:

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-Teardown/4103/1

I'm not sure if it makes any difference if you reset battery stats in CWM (assuming you have that installed).
[Galaxy Tab General] ginjopowder:
i have replace it from samsung center and doesn't cost me anything. i said to them this is defective battery and they approved to replace it with new one although the warranty had expired.

and with 2.3.3 it boost alot of up time
[Galaxy Tab General] Dhekelian:
Thanks, I was wondering how to do this.
[Galaxy Tab General] Reb0rn:
Now to update from my change of batterie its just amazing how much better the new ones are. It really made my tab work even 2 days between charges! And I'm a really heavy user!

Then again, maybe its just how good Boca is for batteries ...

[Galaxy Tab General] Rijn12:
it cost me $50 to change my battery. though it cost much, it last like it's a new one! :D
[Galaxy Tab General] arnelgiga:
I got a battery issues too with Galaxy Tab 7. But after using the ROM on this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409469 everything becomes fine. Before, my TAB shuts down even I got 50% or more battery.

But now, I can use it even if I have 10% or less battery. The best part is it only consumes 1% of battery on standby for more than 9 hours.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coachmoore:
Hey guys! It seems lately, my signal, wifi and mobile network really sucks. Its really bad with the 3x roms. My radio now is 26.02.01.15m2... I tried to do the virtuous ril to radio auto launcher but then the radio wouldn't even work. Its there a better one our what should I do? Thanks in advance!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
try a differenT ROM
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
There is no better radio, just different. Download a couple of the later ones in the radio thread and try them out. What works for some doesn't work for others.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coachmoore:
Oh, they change with roms? Didn't know that.. Relative noob. Lol How do I download and install them, like a ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joviansky:
In the development section there is a thread dedicated entirely to Radios. I'd suggest looking there.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alon G:
I also had a problem with my WIFI on Desire Z. Only when I flashed a new radio it got fixed significantly.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devioid:
Yep all you can really do is try a few different radios, the latest version is not always the best. Each radio may perform better or worse than the others in your specific part of your carrier's network.

The thread which has all the radios as PC10IMG files is great, makes it pretty simple to flash a new radio. Make sure to delete the PC10IMG file from your SD card after flashing, otherwise it will want to flash it again everytime you try to access the bootloader.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coachmoore:
Thanks guys, as usual, very helpful!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
Just to clarify, ROMs don't change your radio. They are independent.

Hi! Where can I find the screen unlock file in a ROM? Thanks
[General Topics] kopek00:
I installed CyanogenMod 7 (Alpha7 - 25/12/2011) on my i5800 phone.

It is really cool soft but I noticed that I can't connect my phone via USB. Computer has no any reaction so I can't even copy my files to SD card. ODIN does't work as well.

I do not know what to do - how to fix this problem. Maybe you had the same problem before?

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] PG101:

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dhirend_6d:
Well you don t need much prerequisite. Yeah XML would be good. The basics of it.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Jason-EX:
AWESOME!!:D:D
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Ghost In The Ruins:
Really nice work, I would never have the patience to do sth. like this. :)

One thing I noticed in your APK Multitool picture though is, that the compression level is set to 9. That never worked for me while editing system apks, I think it is better to set it to 0.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dhirend_6d:
Thanks. :) Actually, it should work though. What I do in the end is extract the resources.arsc from the .apk in the end and then again place it in the .apk using WinRAR with compression level "Store". So only the PNGs remain compressed.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Ghost In The Ruins:
Never thought of it doing it this way. I usually use different apk tool versions, one for decompiling and one for compiling. Took ages to get it work that way ^^

Compiling really should be the next part of your tutorial, it was always the most frustating thing to me and I imagine newbies might feel the same way.

Anyway, keep up the good work :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arlisdoder:
Hi, I see a different picture in APK Multi-Tool, may be it's the problem of version, right?and can you tell me what's wrong after I selected Option 11?

(Sorry, I can't attach a picture like you...)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Ghost In The Ruins:
Yep, different version. Something is wrong with your project. Most likely a .9.png is wrong formated. Check your log. There should be dozens of public.xml and language errors. You can ignore these. On top of these there should be the real problem. "*.9.png malformed" or something like this.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dhirend_6d:
I don t know which version of APKMultitool you are using. That s very different layout. But check the log that is there in APKManager folder. If you could attach the log then maybe I could say what the problem is.

EDIT : - Mot probably it is .9.PNG error as said by GhostInTheRuins above.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arlisdoder:
OK, now I attach my log and hope you can tell me what problem it is. Thanks.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dhirend_6d:
I think you have not installed JDK. Or it maybe because you didn t place APKTool in you c:\windows\. Which version of APKMulti-Tool are you using?? Is it old one?? Use the one I have given in the first post.

Edit : - I also see .9.PNG errors.

Lolzz there are lots of typos in new APKTool. They just released new version few days ago. I need to ask the developer. I need to specify to use APKManager 5.0.2 only in my guide for now.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arlisdoder:
Thanks a lot. The problem was settled. Like you said I didn't place APKTool in c:\windows\. And about APKMulti-Tool, you are using old one.

P.S. Do not forget update your GUIDE, and attach more pictures if you can, I am still learning.

Ok, now I am downloading APKManager 5.0.2.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dhirend_6d:
Ya its 5.0.2. I tried the new APK MultiTool version 1.0.1 and when I compile I find there is no keep folder only. :p. And also no ADB included.

Edit : - I asked raziel23x about this some time ago. The new version requires that you install Android-SDK also. But for now use 5.0.2. I will add a few lines later if anyone wants to use the new version. :)

Check conversation here.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] V!KR@M:
Eagerly waiting for this tut to get completed:). I know there's a lot of work remaining:(

How can I change primary text colour.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dhirend_6d:
Never tried changing that. Its most probably some XML in "colors" folder. You can make a rough idea from the XML name which is primary text colour.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] jayantbh:
Dude! U say Still lot more left! U mean that shud I follow this right now or should I wait till u complete ur "[GUIDE]"!???
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dhirend_6d:

How to check which PNG is used?

Well... a real quick and real dirty way would be:

copy the desired APK to another file, rename that copy to APKname.zip

Just extract the zip file, and browse the directories.

Mostly these are *.9.png which are stretched.

Check the colours with your eyes and exchange the PNG files.

The naming of those PNGs may help also...

*background*.png

*_bg_*.png

and so on...

Cheers

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dhirend_6d:

Hello!

I have a question. How to fix a bug with cut words on the button?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] qaysedcftgb:
@Michal12

I have also seen this effect in my theme.

You will also discover another mistake in your theme, just check the volume settings. You will see that the last control is also cut of/to be scrolled.

So, how to fiy that?

A way would be to get in the deep of franmework and try to get the font smaller, but this may end up in real mess! I threw that thought asap away.

But:

your border is glowing!

This is a gimmick, selected in UOT? -> had this gimmick also in my first tries with UOT and the same effect.

Delete that glowing effect and you will have a wider and higher menue where the whole things have enough space to be read correctly.

Sorry... for not having a better answer but that fixed my problem ;)

It´s not a big problem, but very annoying!

If you have some time... you could check the PNG for that and make the glowing effect smaller by your own.

Cheers

qaysed
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dhirend_6d:
Yes the .9.PNG borders for the particular button are not properly defined. Fix it manually(That s what I usually do). Or there are other methods I haven t tested like the .9.PNG fix option in the xUltimate site and the UOT Kitchen site. ou can try those too.

Awesome Tutorial, Work in My Themes..... Thanks Alot...

But I still have a problem with the Text Color in the Font Setup and add smiley in Messages .. I hope you can help me find the lines in XML to edit.. ?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dhirend_6d:
Well the text colour is in styles.xml in /res/values/. I don t remember which line. You can figure it out by comparing the two XML files from the theme which you are porting and framework-res.apk of your theme. And also, please compare all the XMLs in /res/colors/ also.

And about the smileys, you want to change them or add extra ones. For changing them, you need to change the smiley PNGs in MMS.apk. For adding extra, it requires smali knowledge. And smali is a headache.

Hi!

How to make transparent notification bar in CM7.2?

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Rekooo:
It ain't working for me after editing a *.9.png . Even after only changin one color in it and saving (in photoshop) I get error

ERROR: 9-patch image C:\Apk_Manager_5.0.2\other\..\projects\RevolutionThemeCm7.apk\res\drawable-mdpi\activity_title_bar.9.png malformed.
Ticks in transparent frame must be black.
Found at pixel #1 along right edge.
ERROR: Failure processing PNG image C:\Apk_Manager_5.0.2\other\..\projects\RevolutionThemeCm7.apk\res\drawable-mdpi\activity_title_bar.9.png

Am I doing something wrong when saving or something?

Hi mate, I need ur help

I have to fix this Background of the toggle widgets and to all my knowledge I applied I cant find the concerned image file that is making this background black... I simply cant find this image anywhere...

Its basically systemui.ap from AOP 4.0.4 but the base ROM is 4.0.3...

after all its png and might be fixable....

maybe its grabbing it from framework-res.apk but I will add the png in framework and add strings for it but cant really find out which one is making this image gray..

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

thanks in advance
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dhirend_6d:
I have not tried to theme 4.0.4. Well basically its not even properly ported to our phone. :P

But yeah one solution is to check the XML which contains various things related to the notification bar. Properties of the texts like "Wifi", "BT" must be there in some XML in SystemUI.apk(or twframework-res.apk if your ROM is Samsung proprietary). And then check all the PNGs there are there mentioned in that particular XML. The property that you need to search for is the @drawable/<PNGNAME>. Then just check that particular PNG if that s the one you require. Mostly it will be a .9.PNG.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] SpaceCaker:
wich png refers to the clear png >
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dhirend_6d:

Update Files Instead of...

Hi,

Sorry if this is a n00b question; I'm just a beginner at this. This tutorial talks about taking a baseband and then editing the relevant files as given in the tutorial and flashing it. My question's this-

There are themes created for cm7/cm9 that simply apply the visual changes without actually changing anything else. If I want to do something like that, say change the appearance of:

1.The Notification Buttons on the Status Bar

2.The Extended Power Menu

3.Dialer

and only that, what apk's and such would I need to extract and after editing, how exactly can I create an update.zip that tells the ROM what exactly to change?

Once again, sorry if the question sounds too elementary. If there's already a question like this posted, I'd be grateful if you could direct me to the post.

Thanks :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] rush25:
how to change ic menu text form black to white ?

to
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dhirend_6d:
You can do that kind of stuff in CM7 because in CM7 you have the Theme Engine that allows one to do this. It tells the system to look for the PNGs/XMLs in the theme APK and not in the normal location when you apply a theme in CM7. In stock ROMs, we don t have a theme engine or anything of that sorts. So we have to use these ways of theming.
