Great, I found this file and it has the backgrounds of the menus. I extracted it with Winrar and now what I have to do to place the backgrounds I want?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] arihellmichimich:
I guess edit it, name it like the old one and put it back in.. I'll try out myself.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] arihellmichimich:
Ok, wont work that way. Need APK Edit (needs APK tool)

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] arihellmichimich:
Okay... ApkEdit lets me edit the apk, but when i try to push it to my device, im stuck. I can push other apps though, maybe i cant install system apks. Too bad APKEdit cant simply save the file, that i can install it myself. Anyone got an idea what to do???
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] arihellmichimich:
Ok, managed to push it to the play. No changes :-(( too much work for nothing.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Miles Wolf:
"Defaultthemes.apk" is a system app installer. I mean, you have this installer, yes, but you have already installed the old one. So if you only change the apk file it maybe there wont be any direct change unless you uninstall it and reinstall it.

Not sure, but it's the only thing I can supose.

Let's see if we can change the boring backrounds from SE.:)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Miles Wolf:
Ok, I edited succesfully the .apk file, but as others says, when you go to install it the phone asks if you want to overwrite the files, you click yes and then it says that the file wasn't installed.

Any way to solve this?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
I want the background to be pure black.

If anyone can make that for me,it'd be greatly appreciated :)

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
You have to decompile each relevant APK and edit it. The Defaulthemes.apk doesn't affect any app.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Miles Wolf:
I edited the apk directly with Winrar, without extracting it. But the problem is when you try to install it, first it asks if you want to overwrite the existing data but then it says the app wasn't installed.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] arihellmichimich:
simply choose the black Theme... Has a total black background for the apps, the background for the homescreen you can change yourself...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
you should use a proper tool, like apktool, because after modifying the file you need to recompile it and sign it again
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kormatoes:

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Miles Wolf:
And how I recompile it and sign it, please?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] 216Monster:
Those are system apps and you dont want to sign them after you recompile, and don't try to instal a system app, just use root explorer and copy to /system , change permissions then move to /system/app and reboot.

Here is a quick , kinda vague, but simple if you have a general idea of what to do, Guide on how to decompile app's http://rootzwiki.com/topic/1836-guide-how-to-decompile-an-apk-updated-w-guide/

You will run into little bumps here and there with different kinds of apps and different kinds of edits, lots of good threads about it here on Xda though :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cyrusalmighty:
Try looking here>>http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1454802 It seems I have a similar thread.lol. It is really easy to edit the defaultthemes apk images if that is all you are trying to change.

I just unzipped/extracted) the apk, and inside the res/drawable-hdpi and drawable-land-hdpi folder you find about 3 or 4 .pngs(images) for each theme. I just swapped these images with pictures I liked and for each image I renamed it with a name of a picture already in folder (i.e. Car wallpaper is now black_application_background.png, black_preview_focused.png, black_preview_normal.png, and black_wallpaper.png ). Repeat for other colors and check resolutions.

I havent gotten around to changing the names of the themes, but I think its as simple as editting xml to say different names. So when you have new pictures you can just rezip the modded defaultthemes.apk folder and change the .zip file extension back to .apk. Good luck.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Miles Wolf:
OMG I did it! Thank you so much! :D

Just a little problem, for testing I only replaced one of the themes (the blue one), and I replaced the blue images in vertical orientation and the ones in horizontal, but when I have the custom theme loaded, if I have the Xplay on horizontal position the background on the menus doesn't load the horizontal picture, it just takes the vertical one and it stretches it. Why? But then when I load an app like the calculator, the bacground loads correctly on horizontal and on vertical position. Any help?

Sorry if I didn't explain myself very well, my English needs some practise xD
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cyrusalmighty:
Im not sure, mine is switching orientation pretty good other then the pictures that are wide and better as landscape. They get a little sqashed together when I flip phone to horizontal(portrait). When you say "the menus", do you mean the settings and other menus within settings? Maybe you can take a screenshot?
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
I found out if you remove the Stock Messaging app you start to not be able to receive Pictures. People probably know this but I thought it was a nice piece of info others could know just in case so they don't delete the stock messaging app like I did.
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
If you were going to use a 3rd party app, such as Handcent, you need to make sure the settings are to use that app for MMS messaging. It's been a while since I used that, but I do recall the default settings to NOT accept MMS as a format, but can by changing the setting. Try that. :)

I do remember that I 'froze' the stock app and was able to receive everything via Handcent, so that should work....

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infinitehero:
My screen randomly turns on and completely drains my battery. I had been running CM 7.1 without issue, then I tried out ICS and this started happening. I switched back to CM 7.1 and it happened again.

Searching around for what it could be, some people think the facebook app could do it. I will uninstall that for now.

See screen shots below.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmaduno:
Using CM9

Are you using CM9? If so, the reason why it's so buggy is that the CyanogenMod team has just started developing ICS and it's in the Alpha stage.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infinitehero:
Like I said, it starting happening with the ICS ROM (the one from the fattire thread), then I switched back to CM7 and it continues to happen.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wyattn:
My girlfriends rooted nook has this happen every now and then. I've have it happen before on CM7. I'm not really sure if it's a ROM thing or a hardware thing but I'd love to know what causes it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creebefu:
The Battery Use graph will normally show these little 'peaks' down to ~75%. Normal? Or does it indicate something I need to start worrying about?

CyanogenMod-7.1.0-N1

(Slightly higher res version here:P http://i.imgur.com/ys3c1.png)

EDIT: Realized I should provide more information regarding the phone. Bought it new off of Amazon UK about two weeks before Christmas. Rooted / Flashed it within 12 hours, and these peaks have always been present since day one.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If your battery life is ok - I believe that these might be just SW miscalculations.

Especially if you always had them, I don't see a reason to worry.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soloviyko:
This is normal for rechargeble batteries, since they have a habbit to lie their actual charge level, and the phone just graphs them. You might just get a speare one and test to see if same happens and also good to have extra battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
I'm sending in my phone for Warranty work to Samsung, the lady over the phone said I can root it to do my backups and I wouldn't have a problem.

Not sure if to trust her, or just send it without backing everything up...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
What cant u save as is i mean angry birds is all i lost before i had root access even that can be done without.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
Titanium will save all my apps and settings, I've always used it.

I just rooted, maybe I'll unroot before sending.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Yea but theres not alot to lose but time with a few exceptions of things. Apps can be downloaded again if you want.

Not sure why you asked since youve been rooted before. If its enough of a hassle not to then do it and then put it back to stock. Thats assuming whatever is wrong with your phone wont make it risky.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
Never rooted this phone, but I see how easy it is to do.

Tb does much more than save me the hassle of downloading app, it stores my settings for all the apps.

I just did a data wipe and have everything exactly as before within 10 minutes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Yeah just grab the auto root and run it. It wont work on whatever the next official release from sprint is though. After your done you could always odin over a stock tar.

I have titanium backup pro as well but mainly only use it for a few apps.

how can i change the account that my android market is using?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipito31:
You will have to go into settings - accounts and sync and add the gmail account there. Then go into the market and Menu - Accounts and choose the account you want. Hope this helps.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellRa1SeR:
Simply add another google account in your settings->accounts and sync.

Then while on market use menu->accounts and choose the account you wish to use. :D

I installed the Creamed Glacier Rom and flashed the recommended kernel to enable wifi. Its runs perfectly, my only problem is I cant seem to get a Data connection?? I read somewhere about it having to do with the apn settings but idk how to change them or what to change them to? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated :/
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Open Google.

Write "Android APN settings <your_carrier_name>".

Read what you get. I can bet you get a guide for setting APN, and the correct things to enter.

Profit.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JigsterNL:
Dear ppl,

Will rooting void my SAMSUNG warranty for the SGS2? Is there any official document where I can find this?

Thanks in advantage!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jake:
Yes. Info beneath my signature with the scrolling red thing
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Official yes, but if you flash back to stock and wipe the flash counter they wont be able to tell.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buxz777:
here in the uk i dont think they could legally stop warranty for a hardware defect like a bad screen or speaker etc because the phone had root in place :-/

this is dodgy ground but why would / should a software mod stop warranty on hardware components that have failed when the root has nothing to do with them

but officially yes rooting voids warranty

keep a stock/unrooted cwm backup on your memory card and you can always flash back in an emergency :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steria:
I have been searching for gps/navigation applications that support offline usage, aka installing maps on the device where no internet is required for the application to work..

I found NavFree USA, which apparently supports offline mode.

Is this a good GPS application?

If you have any other you think is good/better, please list them. Paid applications or not. NavFree USA does not require a payment to install; it is free.

Please comment the GPS/navigation applications you have had experiences with.

Thank you,

Never tried NavFree, but you could take a look at this, too:

Thanks, I'm on holiday now in the USA and this is going to very very handy, thought Google navigation would work with the maps cached but unfortunately not, still need a data connection for that.

[Verizon Droid Charge] yourbrokenoven:
so, the Facebook app stopped working, and now only force closes. someone right next to me on a different android phone has no problem, so the issue must be isolated to the charge.

I,m running a rom called infinity, but I can't find the thread with that rom any more.

anyone else run into problems with the Facebook app? I've tried clearing cache, uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, and even tried emailing myself a known working apk to install. nothing works. what did Facebook do to break their app??
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
wait their app worked???

lol I've always used another app for Facebook though they all have their little problems, I'd suggest friendcaster (almost an exact clone of the official app), seesmic (cool smooth UI but lacking some features) and tweetdeck (kinda basic but gets the job done lol)

blazing through on my A500 with ICS :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] kazishahadat:
That is good.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yourbrokenoven:
Around the time I made this post, my phone began acting very flaky. On my way home from chuck e cheese where the app stopped working, and after I confirmed that Facebook was up, and the problem was isolated to my phone specifically, I rebooted into recovery to clear cache.

After clearing the cache and rebooting, my phone got stuck in a bootloop. No amount of battery pulling and trying again would get me out of the loop. After getting home I just flashed a new Rom. I decided a rooted debloated stock gingerbread rom was the way to go, so I flashed that with Odin.

Well, everything was peachy for about a week. On my way to a wedding rehearsal dinner with my girlfriend, I charged up my phone as I normally do before going out due to the dismal battery life when actually using the phone. I had the phone off at the time thinking that would make it charge ever so slightly faster since I was in a hurry.

Once I was ready to go I unplugged, hit the power button, stuffed the phone in my pocket, and left. Over an hour later, I pulled it out and noted that it was booting...

Then it rebooted

and rebooted

and rebooted

I was in ANOTHER bootloop. Tried battery pulling. Nope, back in a bootloop. I gave up for a while. At dinner I pulled it out and began tinkering. I cleared cache in recovery, but still was in the bootloop. I cleared Dalvik cache, but still was in the bootloop. I tried the factory restore option...

Well, that worked, however, I had disabled the default launcher (by renaming it with the file extension ".bak") and installed ADW launcher EX from the market. I hadn't moved the ADW apk to the system folder, thinking it would be easier to update if I left it in its default location.

So I had a phone with no launcher.

However...

I stumbled upon a solution. Somehow the voice search button still worked. I searched for market. That launched the browser. Clicking on the first link asked me if i wanted to use the browser or Market to complete the action. I chose Market. I tried installing ADW Launcher EX, but the install failed. Damn. I installed Root Explorer and launched it from within Market, used that to rename the default launcher, and voila!

Now, strangely, my phone is a LOT snappier than it has been the last couple weeks, though I've reinstalled all my apps except ADW.

I haven't quite figured out what caused either of the Bootloops, and I'm really not certain why my phone is snappier NOW after that ordeal than it was when I first flashed the rom.

After flashing a rom am I supposed to go into recovery and do a factory restore from within the new rom and recovery? I thought all you had to do was clear the Cache and Dalvik cache.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
You don't necessarily have to, unless the ROM specifically tells you to in the instructions, but you can. I've also had times where my phone just crashes and burns, and I have to restock and flash ROM again. Not very fun and I have no idea what causes it, but it's not a big deal having to lose a of my stuff since I have TiBu on a nightly schedule. It's just a minor inconvenience.
[Kindle Fire General] Mherder:
is there a way to do this? i found a few apps on the market but none of them work. Im on the stock ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juls317:
Ive been waiting and waiting to upgrade as ive been waiting for the GNex to hit TMo but i havent heard any news lately, am i just missing news? Did they announce anything at CES?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kirdroid:
Nothing...use your upgrade, sell that device on marketplace, craigslist or ebay + put additional money and get the unlocked gsm version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juls317:
Does the unlocked version get TMo 4G?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bxsteez:
I'm pretty sure it does. It should be "4G" capable on both At&t and Tmobile. I can definitely say it works on At&t
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Yes, we get "4G" on tmobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yes its HSPA+ 21mbps pentaband (working on T-mo and AT&T).

They did not announce anything. There isn't even a rumor about a T-mobile release. If you want the GN, hook it up unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Pretty much what he said. The only phone that T-Mobile announced was the Samsung Galaxy Blaze 4G which is definitely not the Galaxy Nexus.

Kind of disappointed in T-Mobile's lineup. We might see something at MWC but I wouldn't put my bets on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
Is there some legal reason that t-mobile couldn't just bulk buy some off samsung and put it on their network?

Unless they're wanting their own version that is locked down - like AT&T is rumored to be doing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Where is the source that AT&T wants to "lock" down their device?

And that doesn't sound too logical to buy phones from a company and put it on their company. If T-Mobile was able to do that then they could just buy a bunch of iPhones and sell them. I'm sure the manufacturer and carrier needs to agree with the sale.

And honestly, Nexus devices are not your "everyday devices." The demand for them compared to iPhones or even Galaxy S2 devices are not as high.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
The AT&T thing is a rumor based on a new Nexus that went through the FCC (it was a while back) that had AT&T bands only, didn't have one of the AWS bands for TMO or something.

Also iPhone's aren't the same thing, because they're hobbled on that network, whereas a Nexus works in its full capacity. The people who use an iPhone there are masochist who love EDGE speed :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
That's kind of silly if AT&T is trying to alter the Galaxy Nexus because the phone itself is "pentaband" wouldn't it be more expensive for AT&T to change the phone from pentaband to only their network? Weird.

iPhones are definitely hobbled but MANY MANY people still buy them off contract and unlock themselves to use it on T-Mobile's EDGE network. As much as I hate EDGE, people still do this rather than use Android devices. I honestly don't know why they would do this except to save money on their plan but it's not worth paying for a internet plan and being stuck with using EDGE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
AT&T would want their own model with GSM and LTE anyways.

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

There obviously has to be an agreement between T-Mobile and Samsung to properly set up supply chains and get everything working. T-Mobile can't just buy millions of these wholesale, put a T-Mobile logo on them and start selling them in-store. Its not that easy to launch a carrier device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
It's not silly if you want to be a **** and jail everyone into your own Network so you make more $$, also AT&T will probably want LTE (though I don't think the FCC submission had one) on top of the HSPA radio.

Also like I said, people who switch with an iPhone KNOW what they're doing, once you open the flood gates and announce you're offering something - ton of people who don't really understand the issue will buy it and get pissed off.

Besides I doubt Apple would allow Tmo to sell it for that very reason - they don't want to be blamed for the 2G speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well obviously Apple wouldn't sell an EDGE only device directly through T-mo, but Apple does sell the iPhone 4 and 4S unlocked directly online. You can buy it and put a T-Mo SIM in it all you want.

People save a ton of money by going to T-Mo with their iPhone. They're willing to live with EDGE especially if they're on WiFi most of the time and don't care if they necessarily have 3G. EDGE still gets the job done unless you're doing lots of web browsing. Its not like you don't have data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Hm. If AT&T wants their GSM/LTE version then they might be adopting the same technology that the LG Spectrum has where it can use GSM and LTE (as announced by Verizon)

@wonshikee: Most likely. But it's all good because I don't want more consumption on the TMo network by iPhone users :p

@martonikaj: yeah pretty much do the SIM thing but iphone uses microSIM so thats the only thing you have to do which I believe you can just use a knife and cut it to be a microsim (or something like that)
