actually no it doesn't

this is 1.3 compatible..
[HTC Rezound] MicroMod777:
Sweet mod. What changes you do for transparency? thanks
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
edit the androidmanifest..
[HTC Rezound] Doddzilla:
This is really cool. Thanks buddy!
[HTC Rezound] clemson91:
Thank you very much for all of your hard work, it looks great. I was just curious if it's possible to make the actual status bar itself transparent. I saw that the new HTC One X had the transparent status bar, and I thought it look really nice to be able to see whatever background you have on through the bar. Thanks for your time. Here kinda what I had in mind:
[HTC Rezound] lbiniusc:
Just replace the png with a transparent one and name it the same
[HTC Rezound] clemson91:
If you have time what png file would I need to change and where would I locate it. Also where would I be able to find a transparent one to replace it. Thank you for your time.
[HTC Rezound] lbiniusc:
I believe it's statusbar_background and it's in the system ui
[HTC Rezound] lbiniusc:
And if you have photoshop you can use it to make it transparent or find the Rom from that pic and pull it out of there
[HTC Rezound] phoenix3265:
Does this Mod work for v1.4?

After I flash it on recovery, the phone works for maybe 5 seconds and then it boot loops, works for another 5 secs and boot loops. The only way to get out is to flash my nandroid backup.

Am I doing something wrong? It shoud just be flash and go right?
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
You are doing something wrong.

The title says "[MOD] Transparent Settings.apk -

[ROM] Ineffabilis v1.3

[2/24/12]"

I emphasis v1.3...

If it doesn't work on 1.4 then don't use it.

I will update the MOD for you though..
[HTC Rezound] luke1333:
Any way this will work or can you make one to work with clean ROM 4.3?
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
guys, this will NOT work for ANY ROM but the one listed in the title..

all you gotta do is ask me to try and make it for the ROM you want..
[HTC Rezound] luke1333:
Can you try to make it for clean rom 4.3? ;)
[HTC Rezound] phoenix3265:
Thanks man, much appreciated

Sent while highly caffeinated
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
there we go lol,

can u post the settings.apk from the ROM you want please?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
*edit* nevermind i'm a tard, wrong topic lol

as a second confirmation, the SMS blue zip works on 1.4 as well. i flashed that to get rid of the bright green, and it's working great.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
yea, u can also just pull the one.png from my .apk and put in the v1.4 if u want updated .apk
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
dude, i'm lazy. ...and i have no idea how to do that lol so i flashed it and it worked ;D
[HTC Rezound] cbrown245:
What in the android manifest did you change for this? What would i look for ? Thanks
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
it was just changing one word to wallpaper. I think I searched for the word theme, and found what I was looking for.

I don't have it in front of me and I don't remember exactly what was changed.

Beyond compare is a great application that many use to differ two files. I highly suggest giving it a try.
[HTC Rezound] cbrown245:
Thanks i will give it a shot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] loudaccord:
Just curious what most of the devs use? I'm looking into getting a new computer just for app development. Any input would be appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] roel0:
PC, I never liked building things on a mac :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Waddle:
For general devolpment, I actually prefer Linux. However, windows is the most featured for dev compared to mac, which is only good if you develop for ios
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nraboy:
I do all my development using Ubuntu. I develop using only the terminal and gedit primarily because I found Eclipse to be not flexible enough when developing.

I've tried to develop for Android on Windows using command line or Eclipse, but I much prefer Ubuntu. It's just a preference because I'm sure development is the same on all operating systems.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] loudaccord:
That's interesting, I'm using Windows/Eclipse and was just thinking of what other options would be. I'll start looking into Ubuntu now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nraboy:
The only commands you'll ever need are:

ant debug

ant release

adb install -r apkfile

adb uninstall package

adb logcat

emulator -avd emulatorname

I usually have three terminals open.

- Compiling / Installing

- Emulator

- Log output (logcat)

I use the workspace feature of Ubuntu so that way I can sort my applications into groups and using the alt+ctrl+arrow shortcut I can quickly navigate around.

Ubuntu is free, heavily updated, heavily supported and easy enough to use.

Definitely worth checking out if you are still trying to find your place of zen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] loudaccord:
I'm looking at getting new hardware also, laptop would be preferable but I know it might not have the muscle I'm looking for. What hw are you guys running to do app development?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nraboy:
I'm developing on a laptop as well.

The hardware is as follows:

2.4ghz Intel i3

4gb of ram

500gb hard drive

Ubuntu 11.10

1366 x 768 screen resolution

If I was going to do it over again, I'd get a better screen resolution. Many items are larger than the screen with this low resolution. The other specs on my laptop are overkill for developing Android applications.
[Droid X General] TheMomo:
I had recently updated from Rooted .596 to .605 OTA.

Previous History:

Rooted Froyo - Bootstrap, Loader, and superuser.

Then upgraded Froyo ->.573 gb root leak (Kept for 1 year)

sbf Back to froyo 2.340 and then sbf to .340 (.596 build) (2days ago)

Currently: .605 OTA (I still have bootloader 30.04, Not Entirely sure why)

Goal: Gaining .602/.605 root and modding to Vortex Rc1.

I had recently tried the one-click rooting D3 (Psouza4's 1 Click Root) which was said to work for the DX.

When it goes on the first step to restart my phone, my phone goes straight into bootloader. It seems to get stuck there because it says it Waiting for Phone to restart. Which is step 1.

What should i do from now? Should I enter bootloader and sbf back to .602 and then try One-Click Rooting again?

My main goal is to have root and gain clockwork mod recovery and then intall Vortex rc1 for .602/.605. Unless someone recommends anything beter. :)

Also I have no idea whether my phone is considered deodexed or odexed.

I am new and can upload pictures if needed.

[Droid X General] mattakafred:
First, try running a factory reset in recovery, and if that doesn't work, SBF that thing.

rootzwiki . com/topic/5307-guide-root-or-unroot-your-droid-x/

(remove the spaces, it won't let me post external links until I have "approximately eight posts")

In summary, look up "Pete's Motorola Root Tool" (I believe it's the one I used, long ago). There's instructions for other operating systems in there too if you're on a different OS.

wiki . rootzwiki . com/Motorola_Droid_X is another decent source of data. After you root, I assume you're aware of how to install CWM, and from there you're set! I would suggest making a nandroid backup before flashing any new ROMs.

While I love and respect XDA forums for their awesome content for android, they are very greatly lacking in DX support, I would peek around rootzwiki a little, as that is where most of the DX developers post their stuff (as far as I can tell).

As for your phone being deodexed/odexed, if you don't know, then it's odexed. That, of course, will be fixed with any ROM you install, though you can simply install a stock deodexed rom if you want. Being odexed is hardly an issue though, it's a very small performance drag, nothing compared to the general bloat of stock DX apps.

As for what you should install, Vortex is a pretty solid stepping stone, very popular, and ridiculously stable with great battery life. I would suggest testing the waters with Liberty/CM7/MIUI/CM9/AKOP/Rubix(when it comes out)/anything else you can find. Liberty/Rubix/Vortex are all very similar, with subtle, mostly thematic differences, you should definitely go through them. CM/MIUI/AKOP are all 2nd-init (I believe, but that's a story for another time anyways) and come with tons of random/awesome features, but sometimes at the cost of others (camera quality [if it was even an option] was the biggest "flaw" in my opinion). I hope this is helpful and isn't too rambly.

Best of luck in your endeavors, and don't forget nandroid backups, and keeping SBF handy just in case. Let me know if you encounter any other errors.
[General Questions and Answers] kalda01:
If I want to restore my device to factory state (stock rom) and wipe the phone clean regardless of the current custom rom,

is there a simple way to do it ?

I mean restore the stock boot loader, the stock kernel, and firmware, and clear all

user data.

Is the procedure dependent on the current rom I have on the device ?
[General Questions and Answers] moonzbabysh:
I'm guessing the easiest way would be to update your phone to an official carrier update rom. It'll do everything you asked.

MoPhoACTV Initiative
[General Questions and Answers] FBA21:
What phone do you have? If you want to flash EVERYTHING for HTC (for example), on HTC's website they have the zip file that will update everything to the official ROM.

Happy flashing! xP
[General Questions and Answers] kalda01:
I have a Samsung I897 and also Nexus S and I'd like to wipe both clean and install latest stock ROM. Do I need Odin or Kies for that ?
[General Questions and Answers] Sun90:
better us odin rather than kies but ensure kies uninstalled from ur pc before using odin as it will pose problems while flashing official roms. u can find the official firmware for ur model either at samsung website or sammobile.com along with the procedure to install the same using odin
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
You don't need to uninstall Kies. In fact, it's better to leave it installed in case your drivers ever need reinstalling. Just run task manager and look in the process list for anything beginning with Kies and kill it. Kies doesn't like Odin, but Odin is what you need.
[General Questions and Answers] leonwoermann:
just download the matching stock firmware on sammobile.com and flash it with odin, repartition checked, this should do i think ;)
[General Questions and Answers] kalda01:
I found links to the AT&T firmwares on sammobile.com but no clue where to get ODIN from.
[General Questions and Answers] dozz01:
odin is quite well known - this forum here or google should be able to give you very good answers and download links
[General Questions and Answers] kalda01:
Yes, there are tons of hits on Odin for many different versions. does it matter

if it is not the latest one ?
[General Questions and Answers] leonwoermann:
i use odin v 1.3 all the time and i think its not the newest version ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Emir5kurt:
Galaxy note has nfc chip so I downloaded google wallet from the market. I couldn't find it in the market app so I found it from browser. The problem is when I try to open it, it doesn't open and tell me that I have incompatible device. Is there any way that I can use google wallet? Do I have to root the device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Corvette Dave:
NFC in the AT&T Note has been disabled. We have the hardware in the phone but it will take some time for our Dev's here to figure it out. So it will be down the road a bit before we can use Google Wallet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Emir5kurt:
Thank you for the information
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Synner12:
I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but I'm really losing my patience with this nfc diabling stuff ATT is pulling on all their phones. We paid for the hardware. Even if they don't want to include any nfc capable apps, they could at least ship it enabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Orange_furball:
it's more of a safety thing right now. anyone can scan your phone through your pocket and take credit card info and other person information. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] knoshann:
Makes no sense to me. I don't care about wallet but i want to use the programmable disks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Synner12:
That excuse was fine at first, but there are other cool things you can do with nfc that don't involve credit cards at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] YoungAceAtlanta:
Yeah like opening doors with the swipe of your phone :D or going thru security check systems without having to look for/wear your ID on you.

But how many buildings/offices have that technology as of yet?

Still useless technology if you live in the States.. minus the new Google wallet feature..

unlike Asia and Europe they been using NFC for some time now..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Synner12:
Because their phones come with the hardware enabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] droidal:
You should read this article. NFC is far from useless right now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sega_102:
A company I worked for in Nashville used RFID chips in our id's to get into the building. It worked very well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
Even when NFC is enabled we wont be able to use google wallet unless you spoof build.prop to a nexus device. Those are the only ones that will work with the app correctly. NFC is far from useless otherwise though. I just got a bunch of black NFC tags to start writing my own for my skyrocket and once we get NFC enabled on the note. I will have one on my car dock to turn off wifi, turn on bluetooth, turn up volume, and open a car dock app. All without toughing the phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sarius24:
That's odd Canadians already have nfc enabled. One of our banks here let's us use it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
Yeah I flashed a Rogers based tomorrow on both my skyrockets which enabled nfc but still no Google wallet. It seems it's just Att that decided to disable it for now. I'm ok with it till a Canadian rom is built
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
update on this ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JonGarrett:
I'd bet cash money that if the iPhone came with NFC not only would it be enabled but AT&T would actively promote it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlkSquad:
You'd win a lot of money
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JoeDV:
Not only would they promote it, but Apple will quickly claim it's a great new innovation of theirs, and promptly sure every other manufacturer for violating their patent on it's implementation.
[Acer Iconia A500] ctiger:
Was at a store for cellphone, and looked at the display models. In parallel, there were iPad 2, Samsung, Asus, and A200, the A200 is the thickest one, for some reason, might be the curve on the edge on others. A200 is the lest attractive one to my understand.
[Acer Iconia A500] frankws:
So why is the A500 not sexy? It is not even mentioned in your post.

You did mention the A200.

Besides, women are sexy and tablets are not suppose to be.

Also this is a wasted thread.

Shame on you for starting it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Psichi:
Cool story bro.

That is great that you feel the A200 is the least attractive tablet to you. I don't really understand how you making a broad statement on your opinion is supposed to bring about conversation, unless you are expecting other people to

a) verbally attack your opinion

b) make their own broad statements of why they disagree with you

c) agree with you

If you don't like the A500/A200, then fine. There are tons of other tablets out there that you can buy. Coming and starting a thread where you say "the tablet you guys own is ugly" isn't productive.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
REALLY?!?!

all i can say is LMAO:D
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Hummm SEXY IS SEXY

My A5OO is IN A SEXY Red case.. And i keep in my cute pink purse.. so i would totally disagree .. MY A500 IS Sexy rather yours is or not.. SEXY IS in the eye of the Beholder...

With that all said. NICE Thread :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] ctiger:
Well, I expected to get flamed, I like my A500, just after physically played with all other devices, I have a feeling of disappointment, because obviously, several other devices are more slim, and light. I'm a tech oriented guy, so I will take functionality than good looking and speed than weight. That's the reason why I chose A500 in the first place, but thinking about the feeling, I realize that Acer is lacking on style design. It's like a car, get a car that can get you to everywhere, without burn too much gas, is one thing, get a nice car that you love, is another. When looking at a ford explorer, I like it's new design, very attractive. In the fierce competition of tablet market, something like what acer made, really lacks some spirit... They must find some ways to impress people...
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
huhhhh :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] ultramag69:
The fact you have all those "techie" bits on your tab is why its so large and isn't sexy (as you say).... If it bothers you that much trade in your funtionality for a sexy but, and lets be honest, locked down piece of eye-candy that makes you feel good when you look at it but jealous when you see what you traded it for... :p

It reminds me of the OLD one piece "pretty" mac's that looked pretty but didn't even come with a cd drive when the other windows machines came with practically everything...:eek:

Looks aren't everything....

Besides, I prefer my tab to the others you've mentioned.... Tried them all and thought they sucked... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...;)
[Acer Iconia A500] traceedwards:
Sexy tablets eh?

Just make sure it is legal in your country before committing...
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Such a stupid thread.

Okay, now that I got that out I have a few things to say; Acer is indeed not known for making terribly beautiful devices, they are not known for their graphical designers nor for their ability to engineer devices that make you go "Wow!" when you look at them. But then again, is that really such a problem that you must make such a thread here?

Part of the reason why A500 is so big and heavy is because Acer went with a full-size USB port on it; had they skipped that the device could have been slimmed down. Another reason is that Acer is still rather new to the market and they're just trying their hands at this, so on their part it made sense to use a common base for both the A500 and the A501. Alas, there is much extra room inside A500 because of this. Then again, that can be seen as another positive thing instead of a negative thing as that extra room can be used for all sorts of things. I have a few ideas that I could use that room for, but alas, I cannot actually implement those ideas because my hands are terribly shaky.

Now, if you bought the A500 because of its features then stop whining and grow a pair. If you instead bought it because you didn't fully think the whole thing through and you want something prettier instead then go and do something about it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Psichi:
If that was your OP, I feel like it could have been a way for you to open discussion around the topic of industrial design in the tblet world.

While I understand your feeling that sleek product design equates to a better product, this is a work machine for me so I prefer a full featured set in my device. I don't have any complaints with the form factor. I recently gave my wife my iPad when I got the A500 and I am enjoying using it much more. I find it easier to hold, and the 16:9 screen works better for all the video stuff I do.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Throw a sexy cover around it. That equals the playing field a little ;)

I've seen some really fantastic "skins", one of which was just posted in the accessories forum.

There are people who buy solely on looks. Some people buy for functionality. And then, there are the people who buy cause everybody else is buying it (and they really don't know what to do with it, except play angry birds).

guessing this is what you mean Nobody knows.nobody can tell... As i leave this alone with ENOUGH WELL TOO MUCH SAID.. Thank you very much...... Aprin 9th our 25th anniversary..

[Acer Iconia A500] ctiger:
WereCatf, Your pics posted made me not able to view and reply at work.:(, not this one though.

As I stated, I know a lot of people regular here won't agree with me. I only browse this part of forum by myself, I don't go to forums of iPad or Asus/Samsung, I only own the A500. Posting here, is just to let us discuss about the whole world not just Acer A500, not simply living in the cocoon, and praise our own machine as the ultimate best. Yes, it has a full USB port, but still it could be optimized on industrial design front to make it more attractive. Also compared others' iPhone 4s, my A500 has worse color/display, and worse sound, weaker, made me just :mad: mad. I have the oem black case, made it even less "beautiful".:(
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
I would totally agree with you . Acer could have made it better looking. It is a great tablet. Not one product is perfect. The Iconia is still my choice No wish i had bought this or that..
[Acer Iconia A500] ctiger:
Most people went past this post will say, what a useless post. Yes, it is useless, just my rant against Acer's industrial design. I saw and used iPad "1" before I bought A500, and I wasn't very impressed by iPad, but when I saw iPad 2, it sure looked very thin and light. Either Apple played some magics to fool my eyes, I don't know, I didn't bother to check the specs neither, but I have to respect Mr. Jobs view.
[Acer Iconia A500] tkirton:
That's annoys me to no end.

1. I gave an Android tablet and three HP Touchpads I got during their fire sale to four people in The Philippines. When they called me to thank me for them, they said "Thank you for the iPad." I had to shake my head.

2. I was sitting in the bar a couple of weeks ago with my Acer A500 next to me when a guy passing by said "Cool iPad." I told him it wasn't an iPad, it was an Android tablet. Guy had a blank look on his face when I said that.

I agree. Some people need to get out more.
