[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenlava7:
now the question is how do I apply that icon to an already existing app
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navjot94:
try desktop virtualizer, lets you change app icons on the homescreen. (not in the drawer though)

you can also try using nova launcher which is like stock ics launcher but with extra options (including being able to change the icons) :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenlava7:
I want to be able to change it permanently tho
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navjot94:
I think you have to edit the .apk file to do that. Check the icons thread in the Android theme and apps sub forum.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo23019:
Just rename .apk to .zip and replace image then rename to .apk put in system/app location also make sure it has same permissions as other system apps.

Also That pic above is .jpg it has to be

Transparent .png and has to be same width and height as old one

i did this a while back when i themed the MIUI torch from orange to blue

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/add-some-blue-style-to-your-miui-torch-app/

Also might effect updating from market but not like its been updated in a while

and it if you can and do update will have to change it again

Wish they would update the app to match the whole ics blue hate the orange touch focus

Hello,

Is anyone aware of any sort of App that will directly sync calendars between two Android devices? Using the mobile data 'always on' network or via wi-fi on a home network?

In theory, I guess I could set up a new gmail account and both devices log in to it (can you do that?) and sync the calendars that way.

Just wondering!

Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] fpdragon:
Hi,

I'm thinking of buying a galaxy tab 8.9 for my car but I'm still skeptic.

The plan is to have one cable from the tab to the "car" which is charging the tab when the motor is started. This can be done with 5V DC/DC converter and a USB cable I'd say...

But now I noticed that this tab has no micro sd slot so I want to have a possibility to extend memory with usb or micro sd. I know that there are some adapters for usb host or micro sd but all off them I found are using the the standard samsung connector which is already used for charging in my case.

I found the pinout and it seems that this connector has everything on it which anybody needs. But I need charging and usb host at the same time!

Is there a cable which has multiple ends for USB host and client and micro sd (and maybe also hdmi, analog audio/video, ...) ? Just, one cable that can do everything which is on the samsung connector. That would be cool...

Anybody knows of something like this?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] peng1can:
I'd be happy just finding an adapter that is just microsd... everything I've seen is full-size sd or 15 different bulky slots. You might check dealextreme. they just added galaxy tab accessories. they dont have what youre looking for, but maybe they'll have some combination that works just as well. they have some stuff i've not seen elsewhere.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] Presbycusis:
I would say one of these kits from Samsung with the SD card and get a microSD with SD adapter and you should be good to go I would think.

Galaxy Tab USB and SD Connection Kit:

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-1PLRBEGSTA

If you go to "features" it says:

SD or micro SD Compatibility The USB & SD Connection Kit comes with a SAMSUNG micro SD Adapter, allowing you to convert a micro SD card to work in a larger physical slot. Just insert your micro SD card into the SAMSUNG micro SD Adapter and you have a standard-size SD card compatible with the SD Adapter.

As for other adapter ends you might want to check out Belkin or Re-trak and see what they offer. I know that I got a Re-trak multi-adapter kit with HDMI cable a few weeks ago. It does not have a 30pin adapter unfortunately though my phone actually has a better camera in it so I really wouldn't be needing to play video from the tab.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacher65:
It's pretty hard to brick your phone, as long as you have a working bootloader you should be able to recover it.

Your phone has Radio S-OFF ("SHIP S-OFF") so that's a good start, but it looks like you don't have a working recovery.

Check this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396253 and see if it helps.

[Droid 2 Global General] vlambrecht:
Hello all :)

I purchased a Droid 2 Gloabal unlocked on eBay, got it today, thankfully everything works (well atleast for now).

Currently it's running 2.2 Froyo.

I was prompted to download the OTA software (GB), and I did. The phone then asked me to reboot, and install it, I hit okay.

The next thing is the update progress bar, all goes well, and then all of the sudden, I get a little exclamation mark on the screen, and it reboots.

Now, for some reason I have CW Recovery Mod alway running at startup, never encountered this before om another phone (non Droid, this is my first 'verizon' droid).

Oh, I live in Canada and use Virgin mobile.

Anyway, I select "reboot phone", and then it goes back into 2.2 Froyo, tells me that "Update failed".

I was looking at different roms, just can't figure out which one is the best for my setup - Canada.

The phone looks like it's rooted, I also have the Droid 2 Bootstrapper on it, however the tool gives me an error no matter what button I press in it.

Can someone point me in the right direction please :)

I am somewhat of a noob.

Also, does nandroid backup the whole system, kernel and all, if things go belly up, will it always fix my issue?

Thanks!

----------------EDIT----------------

So, I found out that the phone is actually not rooted, so I rooted it, using Z4root.

Now, I am at a loss. The phone that I flashed before was quite straightforward to do, this one is stragne.

As mentioned above, I can't upgrade to 2.3 since the phone is rooted (also, I renamed blurupdater.apk so now I don't get the pesky warning message to update).

What do I do to go to 2.3.x?

Since, from what I read on the forums, you can't go 2.2 -> custom rom 2.3, you have to go 2.2 -> 2.3 official rom -> 2.3 custom rom?

Any ideas?

[Droid 2 Global General] vlambrecht:
Thanks for that link.

So, I can flash that over my current install of Foryo + root + Clockwork?

Also, what about the unlocked status of the phone?

I have no idea how it is unlocked (perhapps a rom that does not honor provider locks?), is there any way I can tell if the phone has been truly unlocked?

If I go to the menu to enter the unlock code (I forget what menu it is, but you get to it by dialing some number), the "Enter unlock code" still pops up?

What could this mean?

I don't want to brick my phone xD

Thanks again!
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
Yes you can flash it with what ever you have or don't have

You will have to reroot after with petes root tools

Once unlocked the phone is always unlocked can't be locked again

Sbfs and roms don't touch that part of phone
[Droid 2 Global General] vlambrecht:
Thanks, and lastly, about Clockwork Recovery, will it need to be reinstalled as well?

[Droid 2 Global General] Jesushaxyou:

Yes, you will need to reroot and then flash CWM.
[Droid 2 Global General] vlambrecht:
Hello again all!

Finally got the time to try to SBF the D2G to Gingerbread.

One question still lingers in my mind.

The phone was sold to me as unlocked, and for all intents and purposes, it is. I use my Virgin mobile SIM, and it works.

However, here is my concern. Is there only 1 way to unlock the phone? A code unlock?

Why I am wondering, it's because if you enter "#073887*" the code entry dialog still appears. Is that supposed to happen?

My fear is, that once I SBF from Froyo to GB, my phone will be locked (unless it was really code unlocked).

So, my question is twofold:

a) would entering "#073887*" ALWAYS show the code entry dialog, even if the phone has been unlocked?

b) Is there a way to determine if the phone has been code-unlocked, v.s. some sort of custom/moded rom that does not honour the provider lock?

Thanks!
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Yes, the code input dialogue is displayed no matter what state the phone is in in terms of SIM lock.

There is no ROM or software tool that can avoid the SIM lock on a DROID2 GLOBAL device.

If the phone is unlocked, it stays that way. With a locked phone, all you can do to use it on GSM (besides unlocking normally) is use a TurboSIM. If you can use non-VZW/VodafoneNL SIM cards, your phone is unlocked.

You cannot enter unlock codes while on custom firmware; only stock ROM supports unlocking.

Flashing does not reset the SIM lock status. An unlocked phone stays unlocked even after flashing an SBF image.
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
you should add that to your wiki, good info
[Droid 2 Global General] vlambrecht:
Thanks, that's great info!

I will SBF the phone later and let you guys know :)

Can modems be flashed on any kind of kernels? CF-Root, CM7 ?

Are modems made for different regions and carriers? For example I'm in Czech Republic on O2 ? What should be best ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yes. Modems are independent of kernel or rom.

Some modems do tend to work best with different carriers/networks, there are two ways you can find a modem that works well with your carrier/its network:-

1) Flash a bunch of modems until you find one that works well

2) Do a Google search & append XDA to your search terms; for example, SGS2 XDA modem Czech Republic. Use your imagination with the search terms.

Having said that, if the modem you're currently using gives you good connectivity/data speeds with the rom/kernel you're using at all locations/at all times of day (to rule out any problems that could possibly be caused by congestion on your carrier's network, etc), there's no need to go changing modems.

You only need to do so if you're having those consistent problems I mentioned.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] automaddux:
So I've been cruisin' around the threads here and on rootzwiki looking to mod my newly rooted Gnex and I see most of the mods are using lingo I'm not familar with. Like systemui.apk dropping files here and there. I've used root explorer and I know how to mount r/w or whatever but I don't understand what to do and how to flash these mods. is there a tutorial somewhere?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
First - an .apk file is just a compressed container that contains files just like a .zip file. In fact it is a zip file with certain Android specific folder structures, files, and "signatures".

Disclaimer - I don't mod or code on the Android platform and the following is based on my understanding of how Android works.

The SystemUI.apk is an Android system file that contains Android system ui code, layouts, and ui related content such as images and etc. What the modders have done is made changes to these code, layouts, and images to modify how the Andoid UI looks.

This SystemUI.apk file resides in a specific location on your phone. What most of the modders have done is made it easy for you and packaged this file into a zip file (which is usually what they give to you as a download) that you can flash via ClockworkMod recovery to automatically replace your stock SystemUI.apk copy with their modified copy.

If you are not familiar ClockworkMod recovery is the standard for flashing Mods, ROMs, and kernels onto your phone. Since you are rooted and want to tinker with your phone you should flash the CWM recovery to your phone if you haven't already. You can look up the many guides that show you how to do this.

To flash most of the mods you would download the .zip file to the internal storage on your phone. Then you would boot into CWM recovery (there are a couple of ways to do this - do a search) and choose the "Install zip from sdcard" and navigate to the file you downloaded. Flash the zip file and the mod should be installed for you.

Note: Many of the modders that make changes to the SystemUI.apk will have packaged this file into flashable zips. By flashing these zip files they overwrite the current SystemUI.apk on your phone. What this means is that if you flash a mod on top of another mod they will overwrite each other.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] automaddux:
ok that clears some things up for me. I do have CWM flashed (currently sporting the touch version which is sweet by the way). So when a modder talks of the systemui.apk they are not asking for the user to do anything with the files, they are just explaing how the .zip file works? I guess I got confused because I thought that's what the modder was wanting me to do (change the Systemui.apk). I would simply flash the .zip then on reboot something crazy would happen like I'd lose my softkeys or the status bar would disappear. Thank God for Nandroid but after a while you get tired of trying to flash different mods because I have to go back and restore. I am currently running Android Revolution 2.1.2 but I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buff McBigstuff:
They probably want you to change the systemui.apk and then push it to your phone. If this is not done correctly your system ui will disappear. Happened to me when I was trying to mod my softkeys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
Most modders will not ask you to modify the SystemUI.apk yourself. This requires knowledge of how to package and sign the apk so it will work with Android. Most likely if the modder gives you specific details about files in the SystemUI.apk package they are just distributing information about how the modification works.

The current rom you're on is 4.0.2. I suspect the mod you flash is only compatible with 4.0.3 (most people tinkering with their phones have flashed to 4.0.3 ROMs now) and that's what caused your issues.

You don't necessarily have to nandroid - although it is very good practice. Before you flash mods if you either know files are being flashed or use a zip utility (i highly recommend 7zip) to inspect the .zip file provided by the modder you can use Root Explorer or ADB to backup the files that will be replaced. This way it would be an easy restore if something screws up. Note that this isn't 100% bulletproof since it really depends on what the mod is and what it's changing in the Android system.
