Is there a way to move the status bar to the top?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] hudl:
The bar itself has a RGB value of 43/44/46. Just make a screenshot and get the values with a paintapp.

No way I know of - though I'm not a dev.

@all:

For anyone interested, I changed the main Icons of this theme to grey ones. Unfortunately I don't know how to change the color of the battery icon. Changing the images in this theme didn't change it on screen. :confused:

Thanks again for the theme @ssaass! Looks so much nicer now. And just to let you know, there are no problems using it on my GT-P6810 until now.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
How about including a totally black status bar?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] DaveC1964:
Well yes the lower the blue intensity the longer it will last. It still burns in though and is not a good idea for static images.

By saying you can safely use red and green I don't mean you can only use red and green. Any combo of those is fine too such as yellow, orange, brown etc. A low intensity brown or yellow could be OK I suppose (like the XDA banner at the top of this page) . I would rather have a less than perfect icon color than a permanently damaged screen, but that is just me I guess.

How are you changing these colors? Maybe just tell us and we could do it on our own.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] hudl:
I think I got you wrong. The bar within this mod actually IS pure black (see my screenshot)! I thought you mean the original bar as it was delivered...

That's easy: extract the apk like a normal zip file (I use 7-zip). Within the extracted folder go to "res/drawable-mdpi" and there you will find all the icons in png format (don't edit .9 files as they are special...). Just edit them as you like. Then open the original apk with (in my case) 7-zip and navigate to "res/drawable-mdpi". Drag and drop your edited files into this folder and replace the original ones.

Now you are ready to push it to system/app. You will get FC's - restart you Tab and it's done.

As already noted, the battery icons within this mod are not the ones used by the system (at least on my 6810), so it will not have an effect if you edit all the 100s icons... :rolleyes:

I think we would have to edit framework-res.apk to change the colors of these icons. I didn't try that though.

PS: Why not use hiding the status bar if you are concerned about burning in?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] DaveC1964:
Ok. I have heard that some people are getting alot of FC/app glitch issues after rooted, have you had any issues? I don't want to corrupt or brick the thing.

Also where do you get the .APK from? All of the ones in this post are .ZIP files.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] hudl:
For me it works without any issues. No FC's anywhere. I'm not a heavy user though - but all games, browser, mail and tools I use work as expected.

You can treat the apk like any other zip file - it's just the extension that is renamed. Download it in the first original post or my post if you prefer grey icons instead of blue ones.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] freaksamael:
All battery PNGs are in "framework-res.apk\res\drawable-mdpi" and are named as "stat_sys_battery_XX.png" and "stat_sys_battery_charge_animXX.png"

from my previous experience in modding framework-res and systemUI the procedure will be like that:

- mod via UOTkitchen the 2 files (with 100 set of icons - incl. charging)

- edit resultant apk's by replacing PNGs with the new desired ones (check also attached zip) - must be 16X32 pixels (should be resized and orientated)

- make a flash-able zip.

- apply in CWM.

Could work, depends by UOTkitchen
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] DaveC1964:
I see the "ICS_Status_bar.apk " in your post but as soon as I download it automatically changes to "ICS_Status_bar.zip" I am not sure why. So I just mod the icons, then change the extention to .apk then run it on the tab?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] ssaass:
Rename file to .apk then copy file to system/app
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] jabbermacy:
This one works -- renamed the ODEX file for this version and no problems...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] DaveC1964:
Ok so exactly how does this work?

Edit and then copy SystemUI.apk to system/app? Then what? do I need to do something to install? What is it about this ODEX thing? What do I have to do with it? Some say delete some say leave it, I am confused.

It will crash the system until you reboot? Is there a "cleaner" less risky way to do it? If it doesn't work will the tab still be useable or would I need to re-flash the ROM because I can't use the bottom icons?

Is there a way to get a backup of the current default theme in case this one gets screwed up?

Also I need the 6810 version is that a different set or are they both compatible?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] hudl:
Yes, just copy the apk over to system/app. If you do it with a filemanager on your Tab (like RootExplorer), it will FC until you reboot it. For this version I didn't need to delete the SystemUI.odex. And the apk also is not named SystemUI - so there was no need for me to backup the SystemUI.apk too.

I the v2 the relevant file is named SystemUI.apk and thus you have to backup the original first. I didn't delete the odex there too.

If it doesn't work upon reboot, you can push the original apk via adb to reset it or - in this version - delete the "ICS Status bar.apk". Best way though is, if you make a nandroid backup before (!!!) all this to be able to restore it if all is lost... ;)

If that all makes no sense to you, it surely would be better for you to read everything about adb, recovery and nandroid (wiki, google, etc.) before proceeding - I don't mean that offending.

Edit: forgot to say - this version works with both 6800 and 6810. For Version2 you have to choose the right file!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] jolvin:

any kind soul can upload the original systemUI.apk file ?

I don't have the 6800 version though.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
@hudl

I tried your ICS_Status_bar.apk and I cant get it to work, you mentioned just adding it at /system/app and rebooting, nothing. I also tried moving my original SystemUI.APK to another folder and renaming yours into SystemUI.apk and I get no task bar, only FCing.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] hudl:
Hmm. That's the way I did and it worked for me. Anyway, ssaass released a new version, that also fixes some Icons for me.

This version is for 6810 devices ONLY and has a black bar with grey icons! Kudos to ssaass! I uploaded the version here, because I didn't find this exactly version in the new thread (too much themes there now ;) ) and I'm not sure if they all are meant for 6800 and 6810 at the same time. At least this version works for me. Backup your old SystemUI.apk and copy this one to system/app. Don't delete the System.odex.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imthebest:
first of all, where is the most safe internet store to buy a galaxy s2 in the US?

well, im looking at ebay for the galaxy s2 and after searching i got a lot of results from top rated sellers. here are some descriptions of their items:

s2 factory unlocked

s2 unlocked and rooted (jailbreak)

s2 skyrocket at&t

s2 titanium t989

s2 epic 4g touch d710 mint clear esn

s2 epic 4g touch bad esn

so this is very confusing...

i simply want the galaxy s2 standard 4.3" or the galaxy s2 LTE 4.5" version. whichever is better. I guess that the 4.5" is better right? if so, then i want that version. the 4.5" have better battery life?

what should i look for at ebay in order to buy the galaxy s2? also... what is the price for the s2 4.3" and what is the price for the s2 4.5"?

also i guess that "factory unlocked" means that this is a brand new phone while a "unlocked and rooted (jailbreak)" means that this is a phone that was bought from an operator like AT&T or Sprint and then manually unlocked right? if so, then if the phone has been unlocked it means that it have a cloned IMEI?

what protection steps should i take to prevent myself getting a s2 with cloned IMEI? i believe that a phone with a cloned IMEI could get me in troubles with the police right?

also, if i buy a s2 that is locked to Sprint then can i unlock it manually to work with any other operator WITHOUT changing the IMEI which is illegal? IMEI and ESN is the same?

please guys help me im newbie thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imthebest:
even top rated ebay sellers could sell me a s2 with a cloned IMEI?

if so, then what are the legitimate places to buy my s2 online within the US? i do not want to buy from an operator i want to buy an unlocked s2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I got mine (an unlocked international gt-i9100) from expansys usa, and I'm using it fully functional on AT&T.

Another thing to note is if you're in the US, to make sure you get one that is compatible with your network.

AT&T:

GT-I9100 (international GS2, usually unlocked, but not always)

SGH-I777 (ATT branded GS2)

SGH-I727 (ATT branded LTE GS2; aka the Skyrocket - be careful, there's also the SGH-I727R, which I believe DOES work on ATT, but I'm not positive about that. The SGH-I727R is also Rogers branded)

T-Mobile USA:

SGH-T989 (T-Mobile USA branded GS2)

Sprint:

SPH-D710 (Sprint branded GS2)

The T-Mobile and AT&T versions will work on each other's networks for voice, but not for 3g/"4g". If you try to use data on the wrong network, best data speeds you will get for mobile is Edge.

Neither T-Mob or ATT will work on Sprint, and Sprint will only work on Sprint, but I believe the Sprint version can be flashed to work on Cricket. I don't think any will work on Verizon.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

See my post above. The LTE version will only work on AT&T. If you're on Sprint, for example, and you don't want to leave Sprint, then getting the LTE version won't do you any good. It won't work on Sprint. If you don't care about network, get whichever one you want, and go to that network. If you DO care about network, your choices are more limited.

The 4.5" isn't necessarily better. There are many differences. The international one (GT-I9100) has a better processor, (Exynos) but this processor is not compatible with LTE. So the LTE one has a different (IMO, inferior) processor which is clocked at a higher speed to try to compensate. It really depends on what you are interested in.

I personally wouldn't look on ebay for this phone. The first time I tried to buy this phone, I DID look on ebay. Turned up a scam, got my money back, and went to expansys.

A Humble Bundle is available again. If you pay more than the average price of all apps, which I paid 6, they throw in World of Goo for free. It's legit, for charity, and it has been promoted on many big-name sites. So, if you want Anomaly: Warzone Earth, Edge, and Osmos, for the price you choose, check my link out below for a better description and links.

For those who don't know what the Humble Bundle is, it's a bundle of four, great games, that YOU choose the price for. Read this article to learn a little more about it: Pay what you want for this Android Bundle

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:
Hello,

I have a question about apps not downloaded or purchased directly from the market. I sometimes use Getjar to get some apps for my Skyrocket and the Market does not see these as purchased. However, when I link the app to the market using root tools, it does come up as an update is available. However, I can't update from Market because it tells me I did not purchase the app.

Is there a way to do this? If not, how to I keep the app updated?

Thanks,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SnackCracker:
You need to purchase it to update through the market. Otherwise you have to wait until someone uploads the latest .APK file to getjar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] brokenartist:
I use getjar to test apps to see how much I like them. However, the updates on certain apps when they are released are important to me and I usually do not like waiting. So if I download an app from getjar and really like it I will then fork over the money in the Market so I can get the updates when they are released.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:
Getjar and Amazon

I would agree with this and will start doing this. Yes, I do like to download from here to test the apps to make sure I like them. I don't like to wait around for updates and I still can't get Getjar to identify ANY of my apps from them. Never had been able to update. I still get the stupid facebook link. I don't want a facebook account.

I also with NEVER buy an app from Amazon again. They take their sweet time to post an update. They state they "check" the updates for approval prior to being posted. That's crap. Will stick to market then. Thanks.

When I connect my phone to my laptop and try to copy a file to Gnex it says moving but never moves the file over..When this happens i click cancel and unplug my phone. When I open up my file manager all my internal storage is gone. All that is there are the Android, DCIM and ect folders with a modified date of just then and are empty

THis has happned 3 times already.The last time when I plugged the phone back to the PC the files came back but then went away.

What is going on? Is there a way to format the internal storage incase there is a issue somewhere before I start over again.

I find MTP very buggy, even with win7.

Do you have wireless access? If yes I suggest you try airdroid (gives you full access on a pc on the same wireless network) or one of the other wireless connect apps, or set up a wireless ftp server over ssh if you're a command line person.

airdroid was the first one I tried, it works well for me (ubuntu 10.04 and 11.10, vista 32, win7 64) so I've not looked further.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txemix:
I just have my new Galaxy S2 and first thing I noted is that battery drain overnight in flight mode is significannt. I had a ZTE Blade which stayed in same % even for a whole weekend in flight mode, using CM 7 or the best GB cooked roms.

I tried many ROMs, including stock XWKK5, XILA2 and custom, doing a full wipe install and in every case they typically loose 3-5% in one night or 8-10% in one full day. Only ROM that seems to keep battery most inf flight mode CM 7, loosing some 2% in 24h (but more than ZTE Blade). Next better is The-GingerMod 0.8. I tried killing every running process in installed ROMs but consumption is still high.

In ZTE Blade made no sense turning off the phone at night since startup lost more battery, but with S2 it's better to turn it off if still has battery for another day.

I can understand that phone has some parts always running, and that S2 has a large screen that consumes more power than smaller phones, but I find strange that in flight mode, screen off, everything off there is such a difference with the ZTE Blade.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txemix:
Any opinion about this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I tend to put my phone in flight mode overnight (~8 hrs/because I like to sleep when I'm in bed :D) and I normally lose 2% (0.25% per hr).

At the end of the day it's easy to overthink/stress/obsess about losing a few % overnight when you've got easy access to a charger most of the time. What I mean by this is you can spend a whole lot of time trying to find/chasing that extra couple of % in battery savings & either not find them or maybe only find 1-2%.

Obviously battery drain will depend on a whole bunch of factors not limited to kernel, rom, how you have your phone setup (apps & so on).

You may be experiencing wakelocks when the phone is in flight mode that might be causing the drain to be a bit higher than it could otherwise be. Get hold of BetterBatteryStats. Install it, read the thread on here devoted to it & you can post your wakelock details to that thread. There's a bunch of guys who post to the thread regularly (including the dev) who might be able to help you nail the wakelocks & maybe squeeze out a few % of savings.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txemix:
I installed BetterBatteryStats but as for now my knowledge is very limited to decipher the processes, anyhow as I said I tried many ROMs after full wipe being intrigued for this behaviour, so they were clean installs with no app added, but I see that even custom ROMs if they're based on official and no removed apps have many things added in comparison to the more vanilla ROMs the Blade has. This explains why CM 7 (or The-GingerMod) s the one that drains less. Have not tried 'lite' ROMs whith removed apps.

Just wanted to decide if it's better to turn phone off at night or just put it in flight mode.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suarez7:
i am currently using a lite rom based on XILA2 and i have to say it is the best i have used hands down. I never use flight mode at night or anything else. All i do is choose the governor of my choice and that is it. Some governors have a screen off profile. That saves you having to add an extra profile in the cpu apps if you use one. Anyway choose a rom plus a kernel that gives you great battery and stick a governor that has a screen off profile and your phone will sleep like a baby
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Now that you've installed BetterBatteryStats, charge your phone fully before you go to sleep, do a reboot & leave it in flight mode overnight as you have been.

If you want to find out if it's possible to squeeze out an extra few % of battery, have a read of the BetterBatteryStats thread on here (search for it), read the first page or so, and the last 10 pages. That will give you an idea of what screenshots you'll need to post/what info you'll need to provide for the guys in that thread to help you out.

As to whether it's better to turn the phone off or put it in flight mode @ night, you should realise there's no right answer to that. It's your phone after all. Battery life isn't the be all & end all as I hinted in my previous post. Obviously if you want/need your phone fully on at night (normal mode), then you're going to lose battery & you'll be happy to lose battery because your phone will be switched on. It's entirely up to you.

I can be a lot of things besides the kernel itself, for instance:

1. Sensors! Turn off motion sensors...

2. The lower cpu freq is too high. Use the lowerst possible value.

3. The cpu governor it switching to the higher cpu freq to quickly. Try interactive.

4. Constant updates of some programs, like Twitter or Facebook. Even if there is no network connection they still run on their scheduled times. I just turn them off.
