the link in this topic is on megaupload (closed) and from this link : http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2 multiupload is not working

Does anyone know if there's any one firmware that's a little less sensitive touch screen? My MS2 has been having some touch issues (the poltergeist kind, where all of a sudden there's a spirit touching some part of the screen) and I'd like to give other FWs a try to see if that solves it. I'm currently on will5's MIUI 2.3.16.

Thanks!

DACH 2.3.4 with Chinese kernel

I have edited stock DACH 2.3.4 SBF so you don't loose downgradibility.

SBF have Chinese GB kernel.

It's only useful if you haven't upgraded to stock GB ROM before.

Milestone 2 - EUROPE A953

2.3.6 Argentinia Personal

Hello guys, I accidentally flashed the Argentinia Personal SBF to my European Milestone.

It worked well except that I had no GSM reception, only 3G which is kinda annoying..

I want to flash the 2.3.4 UK SBF, but I have to wait until my external battery charger is delivered because my battery's empty now and it won't charge using the wall plug for now (recognized sbf flashing problem?).

Can I flash back from 2.3.6 Personal Argentinia to UK 2.3.4 with no problems? Or isn't that going to work at all? I was a little confused because it said "No Downgrade".

Thanks in advance!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] pponto:
Man, I think you have to do a downgrade and after install froyo version >gingerbread (the right version)

[Milestone 2 Android Development] rensvk:
That's too bad..

I think i'll be stuck with this ROM full of crapware and no GSM reception when my charger arrives.

Thanks anyway :)

Greetings,

[Milestone 2 Android Development] Caesarivs:
Personal 2.3.6 is R01 firmware, you can't go back to 2.3.4, not even 2.3.6 Retail Brazil, you're stuck with stock R01 or R02 firmares, try Retail Latam which is less bloated and is R01 too (you can root it and try CM9 which is pretty stable now)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rensvk:
Okay, I will try the latam when my charger arrives which can resurrect my MS 2. I'll inform you! Cheers
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rensvk:
Do you know where I can find the Retail Latam you suggested?

hey guys,

my brother has a Milestone2 from O2 Germany that just came back from motorola

because it had touchscreen issues, and now it has android 2.3.4 and bootloader 70.13.

can I install CM/MIUI on it or am I stuck with MotoBLUR?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Caesarivs:
You can try to downgrade to froyo, and then you can try MIUI and CM7
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rensvk:
Thanks mate, still waiting for my external charger but I'm certainly going to try flashing that one when I get the charger!

[Milestone 2 Android Development] Caesarivs:
You should have made a nandroid backup before flashing CM10, if you didn't do it you have to flash the sbf through RSD Lite and start over

i got what he is trying to say.

he is saying that due to rom building guides noobs will also learn how to build custom rom but they may not have that knowledge skills to make a distinguished ROMS they will be building common roms with little or no difference, difference will be only that different people will release rest things will be kind of same only no drastic changes.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] crazyking_max:
Thank you for your response!

I'm trying APK Multi-tool now, seems easy to use but it isn't working for me...i put the apk file in the folder called "place-apk-here-for-signing", then i open the program and i select option 19 and press ENTER, it says "signing file.apk" and then instantly closes, and i can't find nowhere the signed apk...

What's the problem? :confused:

Already tried, windows gives me a strange error and the program doesn't work properly, it doesn't recognize icons and other stuffs...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Prawesome:
Its in projects..Try placing it in place-apk-here-for-modding.Also ensure that the right project is set

Add this to build.prop: ro.HOME_APP_ADJ = 1

Also copy the apk file to system/app and give it permissions.This must do it

At which place in build.prop should i add this line? I am currently using sgs2 based on 2.3.6

Okay, another stupid question :D

How can i edit XML files?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] :
Sir i have changed my rom to ics stock v1 so will the tweak work on this rom with the modified launcher pro?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SpaceCaker:
Notepad++
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] crazyking_max:
If i open XML files (like AndroidManifest.xml) in Notepad++ lots of "NULL" characters appears on the screen. Should i use a particular codification?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Prawesome:
Thats because you havent decompiled an apk,you just extracted it.Also,install xml plugin for notepad++
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Prawesome:
Make a new line..at the end
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Prawesome:
Yes it will..It works on all launchers
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] crazyking_max:
Thank you, it worked!

EDIT: In the AndroidManifest.xml, where should i look to edit the app's name? Android:label?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Prawesome:
Just use APK edit to change the name..If you want to change the name maunally,there are a lots of files which needs be edited
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Prawesome:
If you want to change it manually,then itsanifest another file called strings.xml

Sent from my SamsungGalaxyAce with my hands,take it or leave it
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] crazyking_max:
Yeah but APK Edit doesn't work, it just keeps on loading the file without allowing me to make any modification...

So i've modified the name in strings.xml, but how to recompile the apk?

In APK Multi-Tool i select my project and select option 11 (compile apk), it seems to work but i can't find anywhere the compiled apk....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Prawesome:
When you compile an apk,it goes back to place-apk-here-for-modding.The filename will be unsignedfilename.apk
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] crazyking_max:
Thank you, man!

Don't know why, but with that apk it wasn't working (maybe it was damaged), now it's ok and i made my custom apk.

How to edit SystemUI.apk?

Hi everyone,

i'm trying to edit the color of the text of the button "Clear all notifications" (in the pulldown), from black to cyan.

So i pulled SystemUI.apk, decompiled it with APK multi tools, edited the file res\values\colors.xml, i changed this line:

modified in

Than i recompiled it (using the 9th comand of APK Multi-tools) and signed it (12th command of APK-multi tools)...

Then i pushed it in /system/app using adb

But it doesn't work: android doesn't load the statusbar at all and the pulldown can not be opened.

What did i done wrong?

Maybe i had to recompile the apk with dependencies?
