I'm a complete noob, so sorry if this is a dumb question. I have spent countless hours reading up on how to do all this stuff the last week but I haven't seen this addressed. I searched before posting, but couldn't find the answer. Will I lose root if flashing to ICS, and if so is there a method to get root again?

I've read that you are able to get root using CWM with 2.3.5. Will that be an option in ICS? Again sorry for the noob question, thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sNoxious:
As far as I know, almost all of the ICS Roms out there for Captivate are already rooted so you don't need to do it. Like the one from the CyanogenMod Team, which I'm using right now, is rooted. I'm guessing all the other ICS Roms too.

That's good to hear! My head is swimming in it right now, so that is one less thing. Thanks a ton for the reply!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
All custom roms are rooted. Why would a dev go through the trouble of building a Rom and not have it rooted?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happy_frappy_w/cappy:
I didn't realize that but it makes sense. Like I said I am completely new to this. I knew that root was lost going from froyo to even the unofficial gingerbread, so is the difference there that the 2.3 was a leak and exactly the same as the official?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
yes... leaks are stock firmwares untouched by devs. we take that firmware, add several tweaks (root, zipalign, deodex, extended power menu, locks..ect) and theme it up and that is a rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happy_frappy_w/cappy:
I am enjoying learning all this so thanks for the response, it helps me put it all together in my head.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvcduty:
This, for me, is one of the main reason of using custom roms... pre-rooted and customized with all the bloat removed...

Devs on these boards have spent a good deal of their time making the process painless so people like you and I can enjoy these Android Devices like they truly were meant to be. Free of restrictions from telcos and OEMs...

Don't forget to thank the devs if you decide to use their roms... ^_^

Good luck.
[Blade Themes and Apps] Rapier07:
Hi all. This mod will give you a transparent status bar with clock in center (see screenshots)

ONLY FOR CM7

Please flash the zips according to the build you're on. Also don't forget to backup framework-res.apk and system-ui.apk just in case.

How to apply:

* Place the statusbar-patch and statusbar-undo files on the root of your sdcard.

* Reboot into CWM and flash statusbar-patch.zip and reboot.

* When the phone boots up your status bar would have disappeared. Don't panic, reboot into CWM again and flash the undo.zip and reboot.

* You'll get the status bar back but without the mod.

* Now reboot into CWM again and flash the patch.zip again and reboot.

* Voila!! You've just made your status bar transparent with the clock in center

Screenshots

Download

Builds from 7thfeb - 17thfeb:

Patch: http://db.tt/Z2quIEQO

Undo: http://db.tt/KWgq6lSF

Builds from 19thfeb and later:

patch: http://db.tt/ZdNiYCCG

On my rom (update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-Blade-KANG-01FEB-BurgerZ) i get clock in the center without transparency effect :( I got it just after flashing statusbar-patch.zip once. I tried then undo and again patch.zip but still no transparency.
[Blade Themes and Apps] Rapier07:
Are you using ADW? If yes, disable "wallpaper hack" from adw settings. Also you need to have a theme that supports transparency., it just wouldn't work on any theme. Try miui, lunarUI or meizu themes :)
[Blade Themes and Apps] lurkerPL:
I'm using FTL launcher: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488483

and i'm not going to change it ;) It's a pity, but your mod is not for me.
[Blade Themes and Apps] Kannibalism:
nice mod mate can i have permission to add a link to this thread on my thread about Kang Development in the development section im sure users will find this interesting and good to use :) ?
[Blade Themes and Apps] Rapier07:
Sure mate go ahead :)
[Blade Themes and Apps] karthiknr:
Works like a charm.:) Running 257 Nightly with ADW Ex and LunarUi Transparent theme.

There's one problem though. During installation of market apps,the text overlaps the clock and it looks pretty ugly.
[Blade Themes and Apps] Gokh:
I have tested your mod and its good, just the bug with the overlaping with the clock and the clock is white even if it is themed. So can you make just the transparent mod?, i'm interested just by it.

Thanks

[Blade Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Yo,

It is possible to have (semi-) transparent statusbar on pretty much any theme (default cm7 ones or others) with just a few steps. Although, it depends which launcher you use; I know that it works with ADW [with

Wallpaper Hack unchecked

] and with GO Launcher [with ~'

use High Quality Pictures

' option].

If interested, you can go read my 2nd post on this thread. It look awefully long and complicated, but believe me the whole process takes me less than 4-5 minutes now; so give it a shot; you might learn a thing or two in the process...

Cheers.

p.s: I got here looking for recent cm7 nightly builds thread for my gf's blade...still looking...anyone could share a link or two on this. Thx.
[Blade Themes and Apps] Kamal_Saran:
Thanks a lot bro..tried it and it worked first time.....thanks again
[Blade Themes and Apps] Rapier07:
Glad you liked :)
[Blade Themes and Apps] lurkerPL:
Thank you AL, your method works with my FTL launcher very well. Only I had to additionally change transparency of those four .png files (with paint.net I set to 128 instead of standard 255). Now I have status bar transparent!
[Blade Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Np!

I'm glad that it helped you and thanks for reporting that it works with FTL Launcher. I updated the post and mentioned it there [with a mention to you ;)].

...since you're a new user on xda: welcome here and don't forget to try the "Thanks" button sometimes hehehe [I feel guilty asking for thanks...:p]

Cheers!
[Blade Themes and Apps] Kannibalism:
this does not work anymore with burgerz 19feb build when you select usb connection to pc it gives an error and statusbar disappears

Error: SystemUI stopped working unexpectedly
[Blade Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Sorry Rapier07: I don't want to highjack your thread here but I truly believe that you should bring some changes to the OP and here's why:

I do not believe that those patches (or mods like you've called them) will work on each and every cm7 builds.

To my knowledge, those 'mods' were most likely created from a tool like this one from ZduneX25 --> and that in turns, requires the

CM7 build's specific

SystemUI.apk and Framework-res.apk. So any change to either of those two files would render the patches useless.

Different CM7 releases, nightly builds or Kangs are most likely to have some changes to the two files mentioned above. So unless you clearly state in the OP which

exact

rom those patches have been designed for or tested on, you really should point people to the tool, the UOT Kitchen or even the 'manual' method of editing the systemUI.apk that I've mentioned here a few posts back instead. Otherwise, this thread will soon become a mess of horror stories... ;)

- just like this one -which I will go and refer to this exact post next...

Cheers.

[Blade Themes and Apps] Palastochas:
It looks so good! :D
[Blade Themes and Apps] Rapier07:
@Al

I'm aware about whatever you said there. The zips i posted works for all kang variations before 19th feb. I will keep on updating this as the builds progress. Just couldn't get a hold of the latest build as my Laptop broke.

Also i can point people to the tools as you said but just have a look around the forum and see how many people are struggling to get it working.
[Blade Themes and Apps] Kannibalism:
will be waiting for the new versions mate :)
[Blade Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
OK, I'm not trying to argue here but I'd just like to ask you a honnest question so bare with me please...

You're saying that your mod should work on every cm7 rom made before Feb19th including builds from burgerz, sej, burstlam and any other kangs?

The fact that it no longer work since that date; isn't that the proof that the two files I mentioned changed and that they most likely were different in the past??

Anyway, fine if it works and that I'm mistaken but I think it was a fair warning. I'll be glad to be proven wrong.

Cheers.
[Blade Themes and Apps] Rapier07:
Hehe. No arguments and proving wrong brother i'll update the OP about builds i know it works on
[Blade Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Hehe - kewl-kewl - just trying to learn here...

[HTC EVO 3D] petermg:
Ok, so I'm a HUGE 3D fan! HUGE!! Love it. I know that many people seem to feel indifferent to it, and that's ok. However if you are like me, then this is for you! For a while I wondered what it would be like to see the 3D photos I've taken on my EVO 3D on a big screen 3D TV so that I could see more detail in 3D (since I couldn't zoom in 3D)!!! Every time I try to zoom in to one of my 3D photos it goes into 2D mode to display it... so I was stuck.....

WAS.

Enter Tobidale3D!!!! You can ZOOM into your 3D pictures in 3D!!!!! It doesn't go 2D it stays 3D!!!!!!!! And you can even adjust the 3D amount, swap the r/l eyes, and it even links to Phereo, Flicker and another site and lets you view 3D images directly off those sites and save it to your phone in a number of formats!!! Another cool thing is that it converts the analglyph formats so that you can view them on your phone (you have to press a button to change the mode). Incredible program!!!!!!! Thought I would share. In fact, the ROM I'm using it has problems with, it crashes when trying to view the photos (it's a photo viewer also) and my wife has a different ROM on her phone and it works great. It FC's on mine but this is a big enough deal for me to switch my ROM!! This thing is BADA$$!!!

UPDATE 2-28-2012:

Ok, so now that I can ZOOM in 3D I've noticed that at some point, seems to be past 50% zoom, that the images are often misaligned. At first I thought it was possibly the viewer since I don't notice any such thing prior to zooming, however I tried the application 3DSteroid Pro, which can auto align 3D images, and I used it on some of my misaligned images and it fixed them!!! I can now zoom in fully and the images are properly aligned!!!! I'm so happy!! It's only $2.50. I would highly recommend it!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] HDD_x8:
Nice find. Works on the camera folder, but crashes on the 3d photo folder and another one. Report sent to author. Running stock EVO 3d gsm, so its not the rom, its the app.
[HTC EVO 3D] HDD_x8:
Outstanding support for a free app, emailed a bug report, got an updated build the next day that fixed the crash.

Browsing Phereo 3d feels fäster than the Phereo app itself, quality seems better.

Zoom in 3D is finally here, best viewer so far.
[HTC EVO 3D] HDD_x8:
The. updated version that fix the EVO 3D bug may be released as soon as this weekend.

A must have app for all EVO 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Excellent find!

[HTC EVO 3D] Chewy11:
WHOA!!!

Cool Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] XandroidX:
Agreed, an amazing find being able to zoom and adjust the 3D effect on the fly is amazing! I can now zoom in to pictures and explore the details

The more we get apps like this the 3D becomes less of a "gimmick" Im so happy I have the Evo3D I would so miss this type of effect if i ever switched to a non 3d phone
[HTC EVO 3D] HDD_x8:
The app was updated on Market this weekend, should work well for Evo 3D now.

Tried it on my 3DTV via hdmi out and it was most mostly black, time for another bug report...
[HTC EVO 3D] petermg:
Updated OP on how to fix alignment issues that are now evident due to being able to zoom in 3D!!! :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] velmu:
Bing often yields poor results at least for me here in Europe. So I was wondering whether anyone has yet modified / tried to modify their phone to use the Duck Duck Go search engine API as a backend?

In theory this should be quite straight forward:

Catch the traffic sent to Bing and reverse engineer the protocol used (I would imagine it's quite simple)

Create a proxy script to map those queries to Duck Duck Go API ( duckduckgo com / api.html - no links yet, sorry) and then back to the native format

Install the script to a public server visible from the Internet

Modify the OS registry (URL change, host file hack, etc.) to use your faux Bing back-end

Profit

Thoughts?

P.S. Sure you could this for Google too, but that's so Android :)

[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
I feel annoyed whenever I want to have pattern lock on, because that means I have to press the top button to turn on the phone, then unlock the phone iwth the HTC ring, then use my pattern?

I was with a buddy today and he has the SGII on Rogers, and he doesn't have a lock screen if he decides to use pattern.

Anyway around this?
[HTC Amaze 4G] lorddart:
If you use a nonsense rom I think the ring lock is gone there may also be tweaks for this. I must admit I lol'd to the 'is this real life??' I haven't looked into it much besides that. On the bright side, with it set up this way you can still control music from the 'lock screen' unlike if there was just the pattern. From what I know.
[HTC Amaze 4G] brokenwatch:
There is an app I use called NoLock that disables this. I think you have to run it every time you reboot, though.

Edit: Not sure if it will disable the pattern lock as well or not, I prefer no lock screen at all.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
You cant use any other lock with that app. :<

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuzzyDee:
Howdy All,

Well to cut a long story short, I have broken my leg, rather badly, to the point of minimum 6 months in a wheelchair sort of break. No big deal, it will heal, but I figure it gives me a hell of a lot of downtime, which means I may just have time to get into this cooking thing.

I've found a few guides, but they all seem to be device specific, and reccomend further reading without pointing one in the direction of where to do that reading.

Can any one point me to some resources and get me into the kitchen? Any help would be muchly appreciated!

Cheers,

JD
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuzzyDee:
Really? Not one suggestion?

I'm not asking you to do the work for me, I just need a little help in which direction to head. I'm looking for documentation and resources, and after being elbow deep in google searches, the best I can find is some tool that takes a stock i9000 rom and makes it flashable.

I've been playing with roms for a long while, I've dabbled in coding both with android's bastardised java and a few other languages. I'm not here saying please hold my hand, I'm just wondering how the chefs here got started.

There seems to be a distinct lack of documentation or information to bridge the gap from never having cooked a rom to noob chef. Once I get that under my belt I will have a better idea about what I specifically need to learn more about

This is a community yeah? Surely if that's the case, there's at least some advice for someone who is interested in starting development. Give something back and all? I'm not here to take someone elses work, put some themes on top and release it as my own, I'm genuinely interested in learning more about the OS and understanding what makes these things tick.

I'm sure you all didn't fall off the toilet while hanging a clock and wake later with an understanding of the metaphorical flux capacitor that powers custom ROMS, all I am interested in is how to get started, how did you get started, what should I be reading about?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey guys, I have a question about our skyrockets displays. When I look straight at mine, it's kid yellow. But when I slightly tilt it at any angle it becomes whiter bluer. It's like going from warm colors straight to cold.

Is this normal on a super amoled plus? Never had one before and I'm coming from the ips display on an iPhone.

It doesn't bother me, but I'm just curious.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] okctech:
Mine does the same thing. At least in this app. I don't recall if I have ever looked at this phone or an iPhone before from that acute angle. I try to notice.

its the way the phone is. It doesn't have a true white display due to Amoled screen. Do a search and you will know more of other people complain about this.

Huh. I hadn't noticed this until just now. It's not intolerable but yes, seems to be true.

However, no one does true black like Samsung, and the positive aspects of the screen far outweigh this as well as the lines you see when not in full bright mode (I usually keep mine on full brightness anyways).
