If they were on the phone when you got it then they'll be on there after a factory reset, as that's exactly what happened to it prior to being put in the box.

Only rooting will allow you to remove them if they're system apps.

Alternatively you could try a different launcher. I only suggest this because many of the launchers on the Market will allow you to hide apps from your app drawer. Okay, they're still there, but you can just forget about them and carry on regardless.
[General Topics] xstokerx:
ya you have to root to do any thing about it. If you do root make sure you make backups before you start uninstalling these programs just in case.

i have the thrilll 4g almost the same phone as you and i know what you mean what i did was get titanium backup pro has to be pro and froze all the apps i dont like so they dont eat battery or ram they still take up space on the card but o well

"I cannot ROOT my phone. #1 because I don't know how. #2 because I can risk voiding warranty."

i didn't know a thing about android a week ago now i'm rooted and doing all kinds of stuff to my phone if your worried about warrenty u can always unroot when you send it back.

check this page out has everything about rooting and clockworkmod for backups.

[General Topics] kulti75:
How can one be sure if it is safe to remove a system app? Is there a list or something?
[General Topics] Archer:
There are lists for some devices, but it varies from ROM to ROM and device to device. The best way to test is to use something like Titanium Backup and freeze an app. This is equivalent to uninstalling something, without actually uninstalling it. If anything goes wrong you simply unfreeze it.
[General Topics] NeoCHoZen:
I was in the same boat you were about a week ago. I started reading about rooting (even watched a few videos) and it seemed pretty straight forward. Since then, not only have I rooted it, I've also upgraded to the latest ICS v12 and did away with all the crap that was on my original Eclair OS. Happy camper now.
[General Topics] KayxGee1:
^^^ exactly. It's very easy of you follow all instructions and don't cut and corners. You won't be disappointed when you realize your phone is way better rooted, and running a custom rom.
[General Topics] umirin:
an what is a custom ROM?

I would take chances if I had money. If this phones bricks it's game over.

where is a legit guide and download for my phone? - lg optimus 3d.
[General Topics] NeoCHoZen:
I can understand how you might be leery of trying to root your phone for fear of "bricking" it. However, there's plenty of guides out there that can help you "unbrick" it as long as you do the research.

A simple google search came up with this tutorial that seems pretty straight forward.

[General Topics] mistermentality:
Check the optimus 3D forums here at xda and you'll find all the info you need.

I didn't flash a new rom as can't afford to buy new phone if I damage it but have rooted and its so easy you just run a program on pc called superoneclick connect your phone via usb and presd a button :)

[General Questions and Answers] umirin:
when you sync your facebook what does it exactly do.

Does it just copy all your facebook contacts and put them in your phone contacts?

I know email sync does that because I did it and that and my gmail is unorganized so it made a mess on my phone contacts.

also does email sync delete your emails on your computer as well?

Because right now when I delete an email on the phone it is still on gmail.com

anything else I need to know? I have facebook and email sync OFF.

[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
When you first run the Facebook app it gives you the option to sync all, sync existing or don't sync. You can change this when you want by opening Facebook and going to settings, sync contacts.

Incidentally, you can also filter your contacts to only show if they have a phone number. This may help if things have got a bit messed up.
[General Questions and Answers] umirin:
so syncing is just copying contacts, nothing else?

It doesn't delete my emails or do anything else?
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
Facebook only syncs contacts - nothing else.

[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
http://droidmodderx.com/bionic/maintain-root-through-any-update-bionic-with-forever-root/

Anyone want to give it a try? It seems like it should work for the A2- all it does is change permissions of su and Superuser.

EDIT- hm that's strange, it seems to change the file's permissions to what they already are?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yeah, it is for after an upgrade, which changes the perms to 000. So by putting the chmod command for su and Superuser.apk in the mount_ext3 script it will do it on EVERY boot even if it is not needed, so after an update, it will save you a ton of headache. I did it on mine, but we won't know how it works until after an upgrade.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Deliberate:

hi..

tried to change statusbar color...but it doesnt worked for me... no color change and my phone booted then suddenly rebooted :D
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
What do you exactly mean. status bar image color, time font color, date font color, noifications font color?
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
Its better you'll not delete this tread.. i'll am going to need this :)
[LG Optimus Black] donjamal:
notifi color...copied yours and paste it to mine, i also tried to edit it manually but yet, none of the methods work
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
The ones posted here has nothing to do with status bar font colors yet. If you have my ICS Theme zip grab colors.xml and styles.xml in framework-res. Styles.xml in framework-res is also an important one to edit, study it. You can edit there the sliders (volume bar) thickness too like with the ICS theme, menu/options (pressing the soft key) font colors etc.

Notifications in status bar like receiveing txt, USB/USB Debug notif status_bar.xml. Sample is ICS Blue font color.

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.TickerView android:id="@id/tickerText" android:paddingTop="2.0dip" android:paddingRight="10.0dip" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0">
<TextView android:textColor="#ff33b5e5" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" />
<TextView android:textColor="#ff33b5e5" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" />
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.TickerView>

Sure bro, I made this for anyone who wants to continue to theme the stock ROM. :)
[LG Optimus Black] donjamal:
so lets things clear...

u mentioned

Notification Menu (Pull Down)

Location: framework-res/res/layout/status_bar_latest_event_content.xml

You will find 3 hex colors for Title, Description and Time

this changes nothing..? should i use that method u answered?
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Pull down bro. Drop down or whatever they call it ain't status bar. Those are for the USB CONNECTED, USB DEBUG, NEW MESSAGE notifications in "PULL DOWN MENU" and not with status bar. My post was clear with that.
[LG Optimus Black] donjamal:
ah i see... but i was wrong..not statusbar color is what i want to edit...i want what's in the picture..this status_bar_latest_event_content.xml as u mentioned. but edited with no succes
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Be sure you are editing in framework-res. NOT in SystemUI. Paste your modified xml here, i want to see it. from framework-res/res/layout

Man, you take this as a guide to theme XPERIA X10? I saw your ICS theme, it has all whites in that portion. P970 has all black font colors in that portion. It might be different,might. So just take it as a reference. Cause CM7 for P970 and V20N for P970 has differences. but I think status_bar_latest_event_content.xml is universal. You may search for it, start with "Where to find the colors for making a theme". But I think it is universal.
[LG Optimus Black] donjamal:
no,no...x10 is my brother's phone..we just use this forum with the same account :) i make my own theme on p970 some apks are done but want a little more :)

ok, i will post my code tomorrow, cuz now im going to work..but i copied yours and paste it to mine and my phone got reboot all time...

and one question..when i compile the apk with apkmanager should i delete the editet xml too or just resources.asc from keep folder? cuz ive deleted just resources.asc and not the xml. could it be the problem?

thanks
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Now there's the problem. :D If you did not delete the xml, then it won't change. Try to decompile it again, you'd see it wasn't change right?

If it's P970, tell you what... just press "y" then "n". No deleting of xml's and you're done... That's what I do with mine, didn't have problems. :)
[LG Optimus Black] donjamal:
cool..it works :) thanks

can u help me to fix this?

its not my screen, just got the same problem
[LG Optimus Black] donjamal:
the funny thing is that i didnt modified the downloadprovider.apk just music.apk

i found a soulution to fix but cant find those lines so it doesnt work

For the Music.apk you simply need to decompile the file with apktool as per 1a. Now go to /Music/res/layout/ and open statusbar.xml with editpad. Look for "?android:textAppearanceMediumInverse" and "?android:textAppearanceSmallInverse", simply remove the "Inverse" part from each line and save the file. Recompile, resign
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
I don't have problems regarding Music. So why ask? I can see already you made it white with your screenshots... ???
[LG Optimus Black] donjamal:
thats not my screenshot, jus got the same problem and i read that maybe it caused by the modified music apk, thats why im talkin bout music apk :)

anyway...i cant find color codes in my xml..

like this

any idea how to resolve this?
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
I had that issue only when I flash a new theme (zip) on top of my theme. Like when i test flash My zips. Just reboot after flashing a new theme. Or, to avoid it, modify status bar image without the blue line below it and make it black.

All image with the blue line, modify them and let's say make them black (as a status bar).
[LG Optimus Black] t0g3:
yeah, after reboot it back to normal. But after a while it happened again.

modify the statusbar_background.png like you recommended will do the trick, but I love this header (credit and thanx to you :p)

I wonder if there is a way to make date don't use background, or the date use different .png instead of statusbar_background.png :rolleyes:

Thanx bro
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
I see. :) thanks. There's another image with the blue line except statusbar_background.png if i remember correctly, try making that other image a black one and see if that solves it.

I'm on the same design now as yours, but with a black statusbar with a white line below. Only that is with the white line and the other is black.

If you know how to decompile, decompile SystemUI and replace the other one with a blue line and don't touch/replace statusbar_background.png if you like that status bar.
[LG Optimus Black] t0g3:
Ok, will check it later. It's almost 2 AM here, need sleep now :D

Custom BG

I messed up some messages, to clear things I'll post it here. :p

Custom background in Settings and associated settings. [LG p970 Gingerbread V20*]

Location: framework-res/res/values/styles.xml

Find: <style name="Theme"> (Search/paste this in Notepad++ and you'll be redirected where it is.)

Modify:

<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_dark</item>

to:

<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/background_own</item>

"background_own" refers to the "custom image" you made. Example that I used is "background_gabwerkz" which was inserted in "drawable-hdpi"

So the final mod would be:

<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/background_gabwerkz</item>
