thanks in advance
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] negrobembon:
You can do it by replacing the pngs in framework, system ui and genericwhateverres apks

I did it with 2 of them, and they looked great.

But be careful with themes like the honeycomb one, too much black and you will end with black text in black background but the sgs2 theme should be alright
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] machhho:
I don't how to do it ! would you please do it and I test it on my X10 phone or any of the expert Devs maybe can do it for all X10 users .

thanks
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] negrobembon:
I wish i could do it but i have no way to upload it but im sure someone did already, i think theres an sgs style rom around here but i dont remember

Port the theme from that rom, a lot easier

porting

hard? i'm a full noob here sooooo if there's a newbie tutorial for that maybe i could make some time

Sorry:D Take a look here..
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] machhho:
thanks , but that theme was never finished and it has a lot of bugs .
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] NuriJ:
Yeah, i never tried it. I will maybe try to port it soon. It's not that hard when it's already ported to arc. Actually it was finished.. Instead of only making the theme, he created a ROM:D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manishdev:
Hi,

I had recently rooted a stock kernel and had the zimage with me so unable to flash this using odian i used winrar to change this into a zImage.rar file and this rar file i renamed as kernel.tar

I assumed the flash will be fine with Odian so got my phone into bootloader and flashed using Odian this fake tar file :(

Now my phone screen shows a phone and a computer image and a disconnection arrow connecting them.

I tried to remove battery and get it in Bootloader mode but it dsnt go and instead i get the image again.

Any clue how i fix this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_Vex:
1) the name is Odin NOT Odian

2) you can't simply rename a file, why did you not compress instead of rename?

3) you soft brick phone so put phone in download mode and reflash the entire firmware

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
There's a heap of apps in the market that can flash a zImage, no need to do w/e you did there.

Download app, start app, flash zImage directely from the app, done.

The easiest way is sometimes the best ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbrahma:
Please help!

I have the exact same issue... I can see a phone a computer image and a disconnection arrow in between. But I got it completely differently, I flashed it with the Stock ROM (using Odin3) in phone mode, instead of PDA mode (since it was failing). I know it was stupid thing to do, but I panicked (maybe flashing/rooting is not for me).

I am still not sure if my phone is soft bricked or hard bricked, but I fear the worse cause I cannot go into recovery mode or the download mode. The only thing which is working out for me is that Odin3 says "Added!!" apart from that the phone just shows a black screen with a phone a computer and a warning sign between them.

Can you guys please please please help me get out of my tricky situation. I promise never to play with flahsing/modding ever again...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mech_egr:
Appologies if this has been answered but I didn't see an answer quite like it in my searching.

Is there any way to obtain the .png file of the icons that installed apps use?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mech_egr:
Thanks!

I also just realized on the web market the icons are pngs there.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zadeis:
OK I have been messing around with ADW.Launcher lately and I like it... Kinda...

My only gripe is that when switching between Portrait and landscape mode it stretches Widgets massively because of the strange grid size and it suing all of the screen instead of having a margin space in between the edge of the screen and the icons (like the default launcher)

Am I missing something in this launcher to enact margins? I can only find a margin setting for the app drawer and nothing else. Have the ability to switch between portrait and landscape would be great with this launcher since it has so many options.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilaf0106:
With this phone how is us T-Mobile?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MEPEH:
Without HSPA+, no 3G in other words.

Might be wrong. I was shopping for a new carrier until i realized ATT is the only one to offer 3G for this device and decent prices

Plus, they will throttle you down if you go above a very low limit (200MB, i believe)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
If your connected to wifi and using it, are you gonna get better battery life VS being connected to either 3g or 4g/hspa+?

and Why if so?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Shoot im sorry, this shouldnt be in this forum. I thought I was in the general questions forums. MY bad people. Please move mods.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
This is the General forum. To answer your question, Yes it would use less battery on WiFi. On a data connection the signal is not a constant and the phone is always looking for a stronger signal.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Thanks, thats what I thought. And ive noticed that connected to wifi my battery lasts a lot longer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xile6:
yes. And 4g eats your battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
When I am only using the phone for data, I use WiFi when available. I turn on airplane mode then activate WiFi.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NeKr0MAtiK:
I don't know about that... when I'm on wifi my battery drains like a mofo. Weapon 3.0 ICS theme faux 1.3 kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jiridabear:
On every ROM and Kernel I've tried, Wi-Fi uses much, much less battery than 4G. I haven't tried any of the toggles / battery saving apps though so I'm not sure what effect those might have.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
Do you disable data when you use wifi?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] prettyboy85712:
He shouldn't have to. If he's draining faster on WiFi then something is screwy with his setup.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azhrei:
On stock, cyanogenmod 7.1, and cyanogenmod 7.1 with various other kernels I've experienced increased battery drain with wi-fi on and connected with the phone sitting at home the entire day. Turn off wi-fi and let it just use the data connection to T-Mobile and I get drastically increased battery times. I'm assuming those of you who get better battery with wi-fi on are in extremely bad signal areas. Also, if you're on cyanogenmod have you turned off the auto wi-fi disconnect when sleeping feature? If you haven't then your battery life when sleeping should be the same as that of wi-fi turned off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] donjuanito909:
Wi-fi should always be priority if your in range.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azhrei:
Well my personal experience has been that wi-fi eats up battery like crazy. Same thing happens to the other smartphone users I know around here so I was surprised to see that people get better battery times with wi-fi on. Are you guys completely turning off your cellular radio? I don't like the quality and slight delay of wi-fi calling so my cellular radio stays on when I have wi-fi on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ptweasel:
I don't usually notice much difference between wifi and 3g battery drain here (no 4G for tmo here).

As someone already posted, my drain is worst when 3g signal is poor, like when I'm at work and the metal building interferes with everything.

Have you tried checking logs while connected to wifi to see if maybe some app or service goes crazy?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azhrei:
Nothing fishy going on when wi-fi is on. I get about 10-14 hours on battery with wi-fi on and next to no use of the phone vs somewhere around 20+ hours with wi-fi off and similar extremely light use. I keep meaning to do some more standardized testing where I literally don't touch the phone but life gets in the way and I have to make/answer a call or txt or whatever so I can't nail down any hard numbers. Typical experience on a slow day for me is that if I forget my wi-fi is on, my battery will be somewhere in the 3-5% range when I'm getting ready for bed while if I hadn't left it on, I can go to sleep and wake up and it'll still be hanging in there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NekoNyapii:
That's true, I've always believed that Wifi eats battery faster because someone(don't remember who) always told me that Wifi uses more battery because it processes data faster, but I always noticed that when I used 4g, it drains a lot faster.

I always blamed it on the ROM, but I can see that it's not the ROM's fault.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
My keyboard dock shortcuts (Wifi, BT, Brightness, etc) stopped working. I presume I removed something on Titanium Backup. Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
Not only that but you can no longer apply ota updates. You should just freeze them with titanium instead of delete. Did you back them up first? I think in dev one of the posted ota install files will be able to get your apps back but I'm not sure how...there are some threads around here somewhere about restoring deleted system apps so that the ota updates work again.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] imeem:
1. Would HO!NO! Mod CM7.1.3 ICS Edition be slower than a stock android 2.2.1 (rooted)?

2. How would I backup my phone if I don't like the rom and how would I reinstall it?

3. If i install that particular mode mentioned above, Does that mean I have ICS on my phone?

thx. i'm a noob.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Dave Lister:
I'm guessing you're using a Milestone. I'm not familiar with the ROMs for it or backup/recovery procedures, but the one question I can answer is #3. You would have Gingerbread, not ICS if you installed that ROM. CM7 is based on Android 2.3, CM9 on Android 4.0 (ICS). As the first post in the thread you linked says, that ROM has a 2.3.7 base with ICS theming, which is kind of like putting a Mustang body on a Ford Tempo. ;)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] imeem:
oh ok thx. but would the ICS theming have any performance impact or none? and yea i have a Milestone
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] shalom06:
first of all installing a custom rom makes u get plenty of features. 2nd it wont get u the brute speed of the official froyo but it gives many more features in the expense of speed

3rd yaa u can intall ics theme for cm7 theme chooser it will give you a clone of ics .....

add a thanks if it was helpfull
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] shalom06:
and installing the theme does not cause any effect on performance
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] imeem:
i still need help with backing up my phone.

This guide: [How To] Root, Backup, and ROM Your CDMA (nTelos) Milestone, didn't help because I have a Telus Moto Milestone and I think it has a locked bootloader.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] shalom06:
wen u go into the open recovery menu u will find a option called nandroid there u can backup your rom.. and if u want to install it again jus go to nandroid and restore ..

do add thanks if it was helpfull:-)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=983516 this is the way to do in on our milestone
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] imeem:
k thx. everything is working.

BUT now i get " no service " . I first got this when i installed open Recovery. How do i fix this? I tried changing my baseband to Canada and to telus but it still dones't work. I Also tried restoring the backup i installed and it still didn't work

BTW it is a Motorola Milestone from Telus ( i think it's a A853). But it was originally unlocked to be use on Rogers. I think the original .SBF file i used was the cause of the no service.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] shalom06:
yaa most probably.. . thus bug has been noted down by many users .. why dont u flash the original sbf back and try?

add a thanks if it was helpfull
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] imeem:
ok i finally fixed it for good (hopefully). I found out that even tho I bought Milestone in Canada, It was a Europe version. I randomlly picked the UK .sbf and now I have service.

thx for all your help shalom06
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobkoure:
Hi,

I'm just coming off a Galaxy S 4G, which has left me half convinced that Samsung is incapable of producing a phone with a decent GPS (dunno if it's hardware or software, yes I've tried various modems, done the antenna fix, etc. - immaterial here anyway).

I'd just like to hear that I'm wrong about Samsung and this phone's OK.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightofdenmark:
Don't know about the 4G version but the world edition i have had for 8 months don't have any gps problems at all. I would contact the shoæ where you bought your phone, or even Samsung if needed:-)

sent from my sgs2

kp8 4.0.3
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobkoure:
Erm... the phone I'm having GPS issues with is a Galaxy S 4G, not a Galaxy S II (sometimes AKA Galaxy S II 4G)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badd_blood:
I'm sure you did this but just make sure you are outside when trying it. GPS can be really messed up indoors.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenus74:
I believe its a software issue... Ive had problems in the past with samsung GPS as well but the good news is ive managed to get it working two ways...first was with sensation rom...this was the first time I have ever seen the GPS working on my S2...or any samsung for that matter which proved a settings/software issue...Ive figured out since how to calibrate with GPS STATUS from the market...

In location settings...turn on all GPS funstions...

Remove the sim card from your phone and reboot it.

Open GPS Status (preferably outdoors with a clear view of the sky) and select Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > Reset

Now select Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > Download

Now just leave it for as long as it takes to get a solid lock on at least 6 Sat's (preferably more... 9->11 would be good). This can take 20 min's or more but be patient,

When you have achieved this then select GPS Status Menu > Settings > GPS & Sensors > Auto-download AGPS data > choose how often you would like the data to be updated (1 hour -> 3 days... I have mine set for 6 hours) > tick the 3 boxes (GPS required/Lock to GPS speed/Filter the GPS speed, if required) and choose your Sensor filtering.

Now power off your phone and replace Sim card and reboot...

Hopefully that should work for ya!

No problems ever .

This is a very good Tab.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] paulikxp:
I don't believe it's going to available in the UK soon so why not saving a lot of money and order it in Hongkong at panamoz.com? They're very reliable.

Panamoz

I bought a 16gb 3G version from Panamoz. I ordered it 17th Jan (evening time) and it arrived on 20th Jan (morning). I selected English UK language during start up and rooted it straight away using the guide for 'root.zip' found in xda forums. It's already done an OTA update (I thought rooting would stop this!). It's working great. I highly recommend Panamoz AND The 7.7 Tab!

I've been using it with a UK T-Mobile sim with no issues, also various WiFi hotspots all appear to work OK.

I don't know of any difference between EU and HK versions, other than language options - but I may be wrong!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] FernandoMiguel:
and it has been shipped today!

cant wait for it!

any rom advised?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kc1:
mine too - was skeptical but arrived on 3rd day
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UgloBuglo:
Does the Panamoz version comes with the IR port?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] murmur70:
Negri Electronics has the 3g version but not the wifi only. My guess is that pretty much all that are out there are HK stock which means no IR.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UgloBuglo:
Are there more versions than the wifi and wifi+3g then?

I really had no idea about that...

Almost a deal breaker for me, I was hoping to use the 7.7 as a remote as well :-(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] murmur70:
Again, I am guessing, but I think when we see US stock it will have the IR. I just got tired of waiting and decided I have lots of remotes, I don't need another.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UgloBuglo:
That's exactly why I want the IR port - I already have a Logitech Harmony 1100 remote, but it doesn't fit all my needs so I was hoping to use the 7.7 as a more versatile remote.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] GrndCtrl:
I received mine on Monday (ordered through Panamoz, shipped from HK) - there's no IR port.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] fobas001:
So it was been told, ir will be in us model only, why are you talking bs
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] cannow:
uk specs now on official uk site no sign of IR but I stand to be corrected
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] AllGamer:
i'm going to wait until the prices on ebay drops more

Expensive have them for $480 pounds for the 16GB

http://www.expansys.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-7-7-wi-fi-16gb-silver-light-226795/

i'll probably wait for the 32GB to be released, i actually want the 64GB version

http://www.expansys.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-7-7-wi-fi-32gb-light-silver-226798/
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
I don't think that the Peel app is going to be anywhere near the Logitech in terms of functionality. It can do TVs and some projectors. I don't think it has an IR receiver to learn new remotes, so any other devices would need some kind of developer support.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adl73x:
Panamoz emailed me today to say they are out of stock of both 16Gb wifi and 3G and expecting more stock Monday 30th Jan.

I ordered Monday 23 Jan, so both Chinese New Year and the stock out have gotten in the way of what appears to have been great service received by others.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] email@pfretwell.me:
Same here - ordered from Panamoz on the 23rd - new year delay (yawn) then no stock.

Again said they were expecting them in on Monday. Fingers crossed.

Gave me a ten quid discount for my trouble ....

Update .... They sent it on Friday and I collected it form UPS on Monday at 8:00am.

Update on my order to Panamoz ...

They have one in stock for me and have sent it today (Friday) and tell me that it may arrive on Monday . Good service after all.

What I do like about Panamoz is that they respond very quickly to email ....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] cannow:
I am still waiting to hear from them no communication since Wed night GMT just emailed them before reading post to try and find out what was going on not expecting a reply as middle of the night in HK
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adl73x:
As am I. I've emailed panamoz again to see if there is any update - especially as stock seems to have been "found" for the poster above. The email communications and reassurance are good, but not as good as a promptly delivered device.

As for truly local suppliers, contrary to slayer88's post above, I can't see the 7.7 at Currys (nor PCWorld or Dixons) and the listings on Amazon UK are at ridiculously inflated prices with a vague promise of delivery in "1 to 2 months".:rolleyes:

EDIT: Update Sat 28/1. Panamoz have stock again and my order has shipped. Now eagerly tracking UPS :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kc1:
None on mine either

did you guys get an USB cable? mine only came with charger :\
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] lucid:
Damn, I got a reply from panamoz saying that shipping to the Netherlands is logistics problem, hence I can NOT order one.

Ecell can ship, but they are 60 euro more expensive. Strange, The Netherlands have at least one harbour and an airport.

Mine was from Panamoz and it came with the charger that has a detachable USB cable.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Polarfuchs:
Aha, I tried to order one, but already at the shipping method in the order process it didn't let me continue. A popup said that there are no shipping methods to Germany.

Strange
