im having the same issue decompiling systemui.apk. i have tried everything and still no luck. i tried deleting the framework and reinstalling it prior to decompiling with the apktool i have tried downloading the framework files directly from offline and use them but still no luck so i really dont think there is a problem with the framework in my situation. my java is ok i checked it everything is installed correctly. i have tried apktool apkmanager apk mulittool fjapktool nothing is working everything does the same thing. the only difference that i have though is im running linux instead of windows but most of these tools have their own linux versions anyways so i really dont see that as a issue.

does anyone out there know how to customize xml files the old fashion way before apktools was developed?? how to you convert the xml files so they can be adjusted because if you just extract the xml file without decompiling it the code is partly binary so any ideas on how to customize them without apktools??

Hey guys,

I'm new to this forum so i'm just learning how it works... but i have a problem i need some help with... I have an Incredible that is rooted, and i hadn't touched it for a while until a couple days ago. I had forgotten my password so i called verizon and had them do a factory reset to get me past the pin code. Once i was in i did a little messing around and then went into the System Updates menu to find that it was downloading the 4.08.(060?) update (87 mb). It finished downloading and prompted a restart and install, which led me to pressing the restart/install button. It then said "Rebooting..." for the next ten minutes or so, which i was pretty sure wasn't supposed to take that long, so my impatience made me click cancel cause i couldn't wait any longer. After it exited i went back into the menu and it said the system was up to date, when it DEFINITELY wasn't! So, i shrugged it off my shoulders and waited for the next one, which came last night. It prompted the install which i then started again, and it had the same "Rebooting..." message as before... only this one was there for like 5 min, then it automatically switched back to the "Your system is currently up to date" screen... It didn't even reboot...

So now that you know my story/situation, i have some questions...

Whats going on?

Whats wrong?'

and how do i fix it?

Thanks for any help at all :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
You said you are rooted, are you s-off and rooted? Check by turning off your phone completely, then hold power and volume down until hboot pops up. Do you have a custom recovery installed, as in ClockWorkMod or Amon Ra? Being rooted prevents you from installing OTA updates successfully if you do not have the stock recovery installed, stock radio, and stock apps I believe.

If you are rooted and have a custom recovery, why not just install a stock rom from Wildstang or Jermaine151 front the development section? You could keep your rooted status and flash other roms if you ever find the desire to do so.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jct.1995:
I am s-off and rooted. And would i also find out if i have clockworkmod in the hboot menu? Or how would i find out?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Yes while on this menu, press volume down once so that the option "Recovery" is highlighted then press your power button. If you have a custom recovery installed it will likely be ClockWorkMod. It will be an all one color screen and labeled as "ClockWorkMod version..."

Same controls apply here as in hboot: volume up or down to highlight options and use the power button to select that setting. I say this because if you want to just boot back into your rom at this point then you must select the top option in this recovery to reboot and use your phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jct.1995:
I'm pretty sure i've seen that before. So what all do i need to do to put a new ROM on my phone. I actually already have one installed (.zip), so what do i need to do from there and how long do you think it would take??
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
My apologies, press the optical button while in recovery to select options NOT power button. The power button serves as a manner to:

1) go back a menu

2) while on main, it just shows the ClockWorkMod (CWM) logo.

*Place the rom zip on the root of your sd card on NO folders.

*Reboot into Recovery

*Format data/factory reset

*Wipe Cache

*Select "Mounts and Storage," select and "Format Boot" then "Format System"

*On the main menu, highlight and select "Install Zip from SD Card." Now will be a list of items on the root of your sd card, press volume down or up until you have the rom zip highlighted then press the optical button.

*******If you're installing an Android Open Source Project (AOSP) rom: Once you select the rom zip and you see the progress bar complete, select "Install Zip from SD Card" then highlight and select "GApps zip" (Google apps). If you do not install GApps which are an additional download for AOSP roms, then you will not be able to functionally install apps because you will not have the Android Market or any Google app. Ignore this step if you are installing a Sense (or stock OTA) ROM.*******

Installing (also called "flashing") roms in recovery takes about two minutes at the most. What may take the longest and frequently does, is the next step: booting into the rom you flashed for the first time. Potentially it could take ten to fifteen minutes before you may be able to see a lock screen or the initial phone set up. Usually the time is about five minutes but it is entirely possible to be staring at either the HTC Incredible screen or boot animation for a prolonged amount of time.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jct.1995:
Mmmmmmmk.... So i get how to place it on the root, and reboot into recovery, but the rest im not COMPLETELY sure about. I want to do it right so i don't have ANY problems... Any further explanation about the steps following?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I must add, DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT go forward with this if your contacts are not backed up either in Verizon Backup Assistant or preferably Gmail. You will have a rude awakening because this process DELETES all the data from your phone and essentially your phone will have absolutely nothing on it similar to the day you purchased it from the store.

If you are near a computer, watch from the 2:00 minute mark until the 3:30 minute mark, then resume watching from 5:28 until the 8:30 minute mark. The individual in the video does a rom overview and that's irrelevant for you after the 8:30 minute mark. Brief visual of this process:

If you are hung up on selecting options in recovery, is this an easier explanation?

Full Wipe and Flash Instructions:

Make a Nandroid Backup of your current rom

Reboot into ClockworkMod

Choose "wipe data/factory reset"

Go into "mounts and storage" menu and choose "format /boot" and confirm

Choose "format /system" and confirm

Go back to main menu and choose "install zip from sdcard"

Browse your sdcard for the rom zip and flash!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jct.1995:
So when I backup the Rom, I'm basically backing up everything on my phone... And will the formatting do anything to the contents on the SD card? Also, will I absolutely need to move the zip over from the computer? Or since I downloaded it to my phone, can I access.it from there?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
When you backup your rom, yes it preserves everything you see once you unlock your phone. Always have a minimum of at least one backup saved for emergencies: I suggest you copy/paste the file to your laptop as well in the event your sd card fails one day. Better safe than sorry.

The formatting options that are posted above delete the user interface data on the phone as well as various parts that control the system. Your sd card is untouched as is your emmc (internal memory data); both drives will have the music/videos/pics you saved to them upon the next time you connect your phone to a computer. What gets reset is primarily the software aspect of your phone. You do not

need

to download the file to a computer. Many users, myself included, download the rom zip directly to the phone and move it's location manually. Remember, when you download directly to your phone you still must move the zip file from your downloads folder to the root of the sd card.

The reason you

should

download to a computer is to check for the md5sum. This is essentially a long string of numbers that you match letter for letter, number for number to what the rom developer may have posted-if at all. It's akin to a social security number for files, verifying that your md5sum matches the md5sum that a developer has listed in their thread ensures you have the proper file size and not something less or more. If the md5sum does not match, you may run into a problem. I happen to be adventurous and have never checked an md5sum, I download roms, radios, kernels then wipe/flash to my heart's content haha
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jct.1995:
Ok I gotchu, I just backed up my Rom... which means its saved to my SD card right? Now, since the file is on my phone right now, how would I go about flashing the Rom as of now?? Should I go ahead and do it, after I back up everything??
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Cool, your backup should be saved here: Sd card/clockworkmod/backup

If you feel comfortable enough to do so, follow the directions from my post on what to wipe/install.

question... will i be able to flash a rom hat says android 2.3.5 when the software version i have is 2.2??
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jct.1995:
Hey, will i be able to download and flash a rom that says "Android 2.3.5" and use it on my phone that is on 2.2?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffChill:
Yes, because when you flash a ROM you are replacing everything (i.e. the entire system). You will no longer be on 2.2 at that point.

Give it a try!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jct.1995:
Oh ok cool :) thats what i thought!

Thanks again!

Ps... In you're opinion, what is the best ROM to flash?? Best looking, best operating, etc?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm biased so I couldn't answer this question. I use Nils' Business GingerSense but I tend to primarily use Nils' roms for any significant amount of time and be completely satisfied. It's what I want in a rom and I have been a firm supporter of Nils roms since I rooted last January.

In good faith I must say, try all the roms and settle only once you find a rom you love. It's all preference and nobody knows what you like better than you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jct.1995:
I gotchu... and I looked at that one and kinda liked it too, its actually the one I downloaded lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jct.1995:
Just flashed my first ROM! Thank you so much for your help :) Now... one more thing... how do i get all my apps back?? lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Congrats! That is the tricky part. You must revert back to your backup (stock rom) and use a root backup app. Two of the most popular are:

1) Titanium Backup: I used this one, I purchased it. Both the free and paid versions feature the same features to backup/restore apps HOWEVER you must select install for each app on the free version. If you have fifty apps, you guessed it, you must press install for all fifty apps for the free version. The paid version has some additional features and it restores each app without you having to press install for each individual app.

2) App Brain: which has similar backup/restore features once you sign into their site. I have no experience with this but it is free and easy to pickup up.

I'm on my phone otherwise I'd link you to a tutorial for titanium backup (Google "how to use titanium backup"). When backing up/restoring apps, please do not backup/restore system data. Mingling system data from different roms may ruin your experience with rooting/flashing roms.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bias_hjorth:
Hi forum

I just purchase a Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB No SD card version that comes preinstalled with Android 3.1 and it feels sluggish in use to put it midly.

Now I purchased the unit as an upgrade for my Galaxy Tab 7" which already runs the excellent Overcome Rom. I remember rooting and installing was extremely simple and easy but it has been a long while since I've done any such thing.

I'm looking for a complete guide to install the newest Overcome Rom for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and unfortunately the guide on the Overcome site is currently down for maintenance and I'm not allowed to post in the Overcome thread here on the site. I need help rooting the unit as well as I figure it's required to install the rom.

I'll appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootzFan:
Root using the guide in the dev section.

Once rooted, move the ROM to your root folder (sdcard/ )

Hold down power + Vol down, release power at the splash (still holding VD).

select recovery

select to install from zip

reboot after flashing
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightmarebadger:
No need to root first. Also, you need CWM recovery before you can install the zip.

So, what you really need to do is:

1) Use Odin to flash CWM recovery (to get to download mode, hold power + vol down until you see a screen with two pictures - right one is download, left one is recovery. You select one by pressing vol up)

2) Plug the Tab into your PC or use a sharing program to copy the Overcome zip file to /sdcard/ of your device (it's the root directory if you open it up on windows, where folders like "Movies", "Downloads", "Pictures" etc. are).

3) Go to recovery, wipe data to insure a clean install, then proceed to flash the .zip

4) Give it a few minutes for first boot

Also, you might want to take a backup before you flash Overcomes .zip, just to be safe and if you ever want to go back to your original stock :)

All needed files can be found in the thread.

PS: Also, Overcome comes prerooted, so after flashing you'll have root. Make sure to run Superuser once before you try to give root to anything though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bias_hjorth:
Thank you so much both of you for the quick and informative answers.

Nightmarebadger.

Can you briefly explain how I flash with Odin correctly?

Do I only need the file called 002002-Overcome_CWM_Recovery_v5.1.2.6.zip, when flashing or to I need to include other files as well?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H2O37:
wouldnt you need to change the kernal too?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootzFan:
Follow the guide in the dev section I referenced.... after you have CWR (or overstocks) you can then flash the ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freddy0000:
Doesn't flashing a modded firmware with odin effect your flashcounter
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightmarebadger:
Now I'm not 100% on this because it's been a while since I flashed CWM on my Tab so you might want to look up some guides or wait for someone else to explain it step by step.

First of all if you want to flash via Odin you need the .tar file, not the .zip one. You might even be able to flash the .zip with the stock recovery, but I wouldn't know (I didn't try it that way and the guide I was using said to use Odin). Here comes the part that I'm not really sure about - where exactly do you need to put the .tar - [Edit] seems you need to put it under PDA :)

And even though Overcome comes with their version of CWM recovery, a "normal" one should do the trick also - so you can just follow one of the guides on the net to put that one on your tab. When you flash Overcome ROM it'll also flash their version of CWM anyway.

As for the kernel, Overcome comes with stock kernel - if you want anything extra (OC for instance) you will want to flash pershoots kernel with CWM.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bias_hjorth:
I'm grateful for all the help you guys have been giving.

For future reference how to use Odin is right here :

Flashing a Custom Recovery●►

Go into the same root folder as before.

Double click the root application named "Odin3_v1.85.exe"

Select PDA

Double click the clockworkmod recovery file labeled "recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5" to select it.

Click Start

Once it is complete, you can close the program

The root folder comes from a root.zip which is located in this thread :

including your post, if you have duplicate entries from facebook that have different names but still are the same person, you can join them by manually editing the contacts, press the menu key once you are editing that contact, and then press join. if there is a match close enough, it will suggest it to you. if not, go through the contact list that comes up and link that person.

Im about to cancel my preorder on Asus Transformer Prime, if thats a fact!
[Asus Transformer TF700] astralmind:
hmmm interesting: Great for new buyers, to be sure, but we wonder how happy owners of the current-gen Prime will be with this news. Android 4.01 will be the shipping OS on the Transformer Prime TF700T, which should cost between $599 and $699 when it hits North American ...
[Asus Transformer TF700] benlc:
There's ALWAYS gonna be something "better" in the next months after you get pretty much any tech thing. Get ready to cancel your order for the TF700T when it comes out (which probably won't be anytime soon, Asus is having very great sells with the actual transformer prime so you're gonna have to wait)
[Asus Transformer TF700] oasis9389:
this is probably the 7 inch'er that was rumored; hence the '7' in the model #
[Asus Transformer TF700] nxp3:
That doesn't make sense with the increase in resolution. It would have to be at least same size.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jvnat:
But why would the resolution be that high on a 7" tablet except for sending out through hdmi to a TV?
[Asus Transformer TF700] oasis9389:
well the story was obviously removed.. we will see.
[Asus Transformer TF700] astralmind:
Yes of course that's how electronics evolve: fast

but this one could be.. a little too early ? Primes are still very hard to come by, haven't got a proper OS yet (ICS incoming, we'll see), GPS issue was not fixed but rather removed (such an insulting way to deal with it), bootloader encryption should be removable with a tool at some point, wifi isn't great, a bunch of issues with bluetooth all caused by a stupid design flaw.

Solution ? Released an improved version that fixes the glitches of Prime 1 with better features less than a few months apart... hmmm yeah. nice move Asus.
[Asus Transformer TF700] oasis9389:
i don't see anyway they could have a new final build and be showing it off at ces in 3 weeks.

i also don't see anyway they could possibly do that without compensating the people who managed to get the first prime.

[Asus Transformer TF700] kunddizzle:
the last part was 'and new design to improve gps' which is a link to the first prime? But yes, the 7 in model number could be a hint to 7" tablet

Anyways

Cons for this new tablet:

- high res has less battery life?

- its weaker per pixel than the original prime

And the preview from the Acer Fullhd tablet said that it was hard to tell the difference form e.g. the Prime.
[Asus Transformer TF700] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Worth stating that just because it was at CES 2012 does not mean it will launch this year or next. The new PS and Xbox will be announced too but neither will be available until 2013.

Also some don't ever get released. I would not be cancelling or returning anything until you hear the actual announcement.

Also the rumor has it at a dual core Qualcomm CPU, so no Tegra goodness for TF202 if this is true. A much slower tablet for sure.

[Asus Transformer TF700] nxp3:
I'm not one to think that because something new is released it makes my current one obsolete, but if Asus were to release a better tablet a few months after the prime it would seem like a slap in the face. The fact that it's not working right and then they're going to release something that is a few months later. It would seem like they're trying to sell us all their defective stuff just to get rid of it. That's a bad move for asus. I don't know if I can buy another asus product again after the prime.

I bought the Prime for dock, Tegra 3, and the Super IPS+ mode, the latter of which specifically because it allows me to use it outdoors. I didn't buy it for GPS, and wouldn't get rid of it just because I can't use it to navigate in my car. And, I'd rather have a brighter screen that can be used in sunlight than a higher-res screen.

Edit: just read in the other thread on this topic that the new screen will be Super IPS+ as well. So, it comes down to Tegra 3 vs. OMAP 8960. Don't know enough about the processor to say whether this is an important difference.
