You can't edit the XML until you decompile it first.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthony062991:
How would you decompile an .odex file with ubuntu?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Not sure. All my Roms are deodex
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthony062991:
What about deodex?

I've tried using android kitchen and it says:

Archive: framework-res.apk

caution: filename not matched: classes.dex

Error: File is not deodexed!

When I already covered it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I used to use the kitchen to deodex the roms and used apkmultitool to decompile the apks.

So use the kitchen and make the rom all the way to the end and then pull the apks from the built rom and use apkmultitool to recompile it. That will allow you to edit the XML.

Other then that I am not sure. I am only working from source now so i don't deal with OEM based roms anymore.

[Nokia Lumia 800] BlinkMedia:
Hi all,

my name is Jordan and I work in the post production department at a video production company in Vancouver called Blink. You can find out more about us here:

http://www.blinkmediaworks.com/

We produce a lot of instructional videos for TELUS, including how-to videos for their phones. To do this we need screenshots from the devices, which in the past with other phones has not been a problem. With the Nokia Lumia 800 we just received from them, however, we have not been able to grab the stills we need because this isn't easily done with the Windows Phone 7 OS. We've tried unlocking the phone with ChevronWP7 (now "sold out") and through AppHub (which will not accept our credit card payment for some reason) in order to side load a screen capture app, but with no success so far.

So we've now decided to reach out to the developer community here to see if anyone would be interested in doing some freelance work for us by obtaining the needed screen shots. If you are interested in this job please send me an e-mail at jordan@goblink.com with a rough quote/rate for your time on this project. Check out the videos in the below link to see the videos we did for a previous phone:

Thanks,

Jordan
[Nokia Lumia 800] BlitterTwisted:
For screenshots of a specific app you can do this quite easily on a PC using the SDK and device emulator. The problem with the emulator is it has very limited apps installed (just the browser) so if you need the phone/messaging/mail etc. then this is not an option.
[Nokia Lumia 800] jessenic:
There is a unlocked version of the emulator, too. It has all features that normal Windows Phones have with the exception of Email, Facebook, Twitter and Messenger
[Nokia Lumia 800] PaullikesWINMO:
Send me a Lumia 800 for me to keep and I'll get you any screen shot you want ! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kidd_Funkadelic:
Hey all,

I'm right on the trigger to finally get a Prime (sadly I can't find a dock anywhere, but one step at a time).

Anyway, I've been thinking that I'd like to get a sleeve for protection and easy transport, but that I won't always be using the dock. Connecting them is one option, but just to put it away and pull it out again when I'm not using the dock seems like too much of a pain (and unnecessary wear and tear).

So I was hoping that someone would have made a neoprene type case/sleeve/pouch by now that has a padded liner in it effectively creating 2 separate compartments. W/out this, you can't really throw both pieces in while they are disconnected I suspect w/out the chance for some scratching.

Has anyone else thought of this and found a solution???

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kidd_Funkadelic:
OK, a little more hunting has uncovered what may be a good solution to what I'm after, but the pictures don't prove it. The description sounds just right:

-Semi-rigid, molded EVA shell designed to fit your iPad, iPad 2 , or 9-10 inch tablet

-The tablet compartments molded ribbing detail provides additional shock-absorbing protection

-Interior divider with its own securing strap separates the tablet from other accessories and keeps it in place

-Soft lining on interior divider helps to prevent scratches to your screen

-Interior storage for power cords, a wallet or phone

Wanted to share in case anyone is also looking, has their own suggestions, or feedback on this case...

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordache16:
I bought the Targus CitiGear Mini from BestBuy a week ago and really like it.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Targus-CityGear-Mini-for-iPad-Tablet-Netbook/16480776

(BestBuy was selling it for 35$ and after I bought it I happened to see it on the shelf at Walmart (a mere block from the BestBuy mind you) a couple of days later for 25$, so I took it back to BestBuy and had them price match it)

It has the 'dual' pockets like you mentioned where you can put the dock in one side and the tablet in the other side. One slot is larger than the other, so you could also put the dock/keyboard in that slot if they are connected. The smaller slot where the actual tablet goes is pretty much the perfect size for the Prime as it barely fits. This is probably a good thing though b/c the tablet can't slide around what-so-ever while it is in there, so you shouldn't have to worry about it getting any scratches. The entire inside of the thing is the soft padded lining so you shouldn't get any scratches regardless, but I find it nice that the tablet is secure and can't move around in the first place. It also has an expandable pocket on the front where you can put your power cord, adapters and what not.

The CityGear looks like it might be a little bigger than the CaseLogic one that you mentioned but I couldn't be happier with the Targus carrying case. I think the CityGear might be easier to get into as you don't have to unzip it like the CaseLogic one. You simply unclip the buckle, flip open the cover and pull out the tablet. I have a case for my old laptop that you have to 'unzip' to open it, and it is a little bit of an inconvenience.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kidd_Funkadelic:
Thanks, I'll have to look into that one!

For anyone else looking, after reading some of the reviews to the link I posted earlier, I kind of got the impression that one of the "dual compartments" may be much smaller, intended for adapters and plugs... Just a hunch, but I wouldn't order it w/out someone explicitly saying it would fit at this point...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dilligaf:
I have that one too. Works very well. It is my new carry-on bag. Much smaller/lighter than backpack with laptop and accessories.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
I am not sure if this has been posted or not but for those of you who have issues with MTP and drivers and don't want to unmount your SD card to transfer files to your device, you can still use the older Android style Mount to PC.

1) Settings > Developer options > Turn On USB Debugging

2) Settings > (Under Wireless and network) More...

3) USB utilities

4) Connect storage to PC

5) When prompted press OK

6) Plug in your USB Cable

You can now mount to PC & this will allow you to add files to both SD & Internal bypassing MTP.

Note: If you don't disconnect the cable you can remount. If you remove the cable, you will be put back into MTP and will have to repeat the process.

Enjoy!

OMG thank you for sharing this! Why is this so much harder in ICS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ogre840:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neatchee:
You can actually get MTP working quite simply...

Credit goes to ssconceptz for the workaround
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
Yes MTP works if you unmount SD card, this is for those who want to copy to SD card as well. MTP should be fixed in final ICS release.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AwesomeTurtle:
Being an official release, I would assume so.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mznatnat:
I would love to know what kind of screen protectors you go with? What do you like? What you don't like?? What brand do you go with???

The screen protector I chose for my HTC Amaze is the Zagg Invisible Shield Full Body Protection.....

Which looks like this....

You can get it here if you like it:

[HTC Amaze 4G] Alex122333:
I just those anti-glare/fingerprint screen protectors from eBay. They're cheap and make the touch input very smooth.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ChromeJob:
I've been using the Boxwave "crystal clear" (not the "anti-glare" version) screen protector from Amazon. Works fine, fits well. One corner is lifting up a bit after re-applying 2-3 times, but they've promised to send me a replacement.

Pluses:

Dry application, no wet or "glue"

Reusable, manufacturer claims can be removed and washed (I've done it, but the edge is lifting up at one corner; was doing it before I washed it)

When applied without bubbles, can't tell it's there -- really!

Makes it easy to use screen with stylus and finger

Price ... much less than carrier store protectors
[HTC Amaze 4G] Goten310:
I don't like the Zagg stuff. Body protection is fine but makes the screen a pain to use. I am using RealLook Crystal Clear screen guard right now. Had it on my Vibrant before and had to use it again on the amaze. Cannot even tell that you have a screen guard on.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mznatnat:
What makes it a pain to use??? I'm just wondering...
[HTC Amaze 4G] mznatnat:
Fingerprint resistant screen protectors are awesome!!! I had it on my G2x....
[HTC Amaze 4G] Goten310:
Its a pain for me because of the rubbery texture it has to it. So sliding motions and other gestures don't feel as smooth as it should be. Plus the edges have some glue that leaks out to the side over time and it becomes a lint and dust magnet.
[HTC Amaze 4G] frostyroot:
I like the invisible shield, I just like knowing that if I put my phone in my pocket no surprise scratches will come out with it. I've tried a lot of screen protectors and they all seem to piss me off after a while. I got used to having an invisible shield, so it's always going to be my first option. As for that glue leaking out, I haven't seen that happen in the past three years so I wouldn't know what you're talking about lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Goten310:
Just a matter of preference and yeah I've had Zagg for the last 3 phones I've had and that freaking glue gets me every time lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ChromeJob:
I won't use any product that requires a wet application or "glue." Just because. A good screen protector shouldn't need it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
I agree... Static works just fine.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dementor123:
I have SGP from Amazon. It's pretty good feel wise. Just a tad small in size which is not much noticeable after I put on diztronic cover.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Xcor3:
Been using this since day one, trust me its really good. Its cut off fitted for the screen

Edited by Moderator: [link removed] Posting links to external sites like eBay is prohibited. ;)

Please take a few minutes to read the rules. (links in my sig). Understanding the rules can prevent problems in the future. :)

I also have a clear one which is also really good, why spend more when you can get just the same thing for cheap?
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Looks like the ones I got from tmo store. I paid more (only cuz tmo rips you off on all accessories in store) but am very happy. I'm still on the 1st one with no scratches or issues. Very easy application also.

It's not fingerprint resistant, but I think that kind takes away from screen's natural beauty and feels funny to me to the touch
[HTC Amaze 4G] roykor:
Just a very quick question, what is the best way to apply a screen protector so there is no bubbles?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ChromeJob:
My technique

Clean the nude screen with a microfiber cloth first. Then apply the screen protector from one side (or top or bottom), smoothing out bubbles as you lay it down. If you get a little bit of lint on the underside (almost always happens to me), I found that using a reverse rolled-up "mitten" of Scotch magic transparent tape, or (better) blue painter's masking tape (your local hardware store will have it), gently patting the underside will pick up the lint spots.

Depending upon the screen protector, smoothing out bubbles once it's on seems to work if you take a cooking spatula (silicone or rubber) and use the flat edge to smooth them out. I have a silicone-edged pot scraper, but that's a bit too firm. Ideally, find one like a KitchenAid with removable blade part so you can handle it easily without the handle getting in the way.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mznatnat:
Yeah its happening to me now... the glue on the side... makes my phone look dirty... :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] mznatnat:
I have the glue coming out from the sides problem.... not happy... but still like the invisible shield!
[HTC Amaze 4G] mznatnat:
LMFAO UNDER WATER.... lmao... (i'm being sarcastic!)
[HTC Amaze 4G] mznatnat:
Tmo screen protectors are $16.95 I believe.... what a damn shame!
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeartFan40:
That's not nearly as bad as AT&T charging $25 for a single screen protector.

[HTC Amaze 4G] :
That was the worst part... Good thing I had 30% off coupon. It was like 11 for 3. Plus they put it on perfectly so it was worth it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] funkadesi:
to be honest, you dont *really* need a screen protector for the Amaze. HTC has their own version of "toughened" glass (like gorilla glass) and mine has held up against scratches. I bought my phone is december and have kept it several times in the same pocket with my keys... and I have yet to see any scratches.

With that being said, I know its not bulletproof....
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I've heard that before too... I'm still too chickens**t to try :D I swear I have terrible luck. Last phone I didn't buy a protector for was my bb8900 and the screen was scratched in a week!

Fool me once, shame on..... Shame on you. Fool me... you can't get fooled again ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Xcor3:
Wait for it. Lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ChromeJob:
Yeah, right. Uh-huh. Our Mobility guy at work has a Rezound, and the "Gorilla Glass" got a minute scratch in the first couple of weeks' use. I've read another post from someone who has a scratch, claims to had never put it in a pocket with anything else.

So, yeah. Leave it unprotected if you like. If you're going to keep it for its lifetime, no big deal. But if, like some of us, you are considering reselling the phone, protecting the screen ensure resale value. $8, $15, $20 seems a pittance in that regard.

YMMV.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mznatnat:
:( bastard! lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] mznatnat:
Blackberries don't have any type of protection for their phones in whatsoever..... no GorillaGlass...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Kevinik:
The best way for me it's using water or alcohol for cleaning the phone screen and the screen protector if I am reapplying. Make sure there's no small particles just the liquid on the screen rubbing it with some lint free wipe, like the alcohol wipes they use in labs. Leave the alcohol excess drops on the screen and apply the screen protector frame it well and flattening with a credit card or something similar remove all the liquid bubbles formed.

Most probably the screen won't be perfectly frame in this case I take out the screen protector clean it again with alcohol and reapply. Best way to frame screen protectors it's from the top speaker to one of the sides then all the way down.

That said I used Realook Screen Protectors.

HTC Amaze ain't on the Corning Gorilla Glass official list for HTC devices.
[HTC Amaze 4G] funkadesi:
Here's what I am talking about... the screen held up pretty well against keys until... o heck, let me not ruin it for you :p

HOLY &@*#&#?@*#&$&#*@*@*@*#&'-'*#*&"&'*$*$-@&@&"&'-'-!!!!

That was a fukkin awesome video!!! had me cringing at every scratch and tap..lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] mznatnat:
I had to put my phone away from the computer and told it not to look!
[HTC Amaze 4G] ChromeJob:
Not sure I'd use all that alcohol, as it could clean off anything you actually need on the "adhesive" side of the protector. I use painter's tape (blue stuff, cheap at hardware stores) to clean lint specs off the protector's underside, and a lint-free microfiber to clear the glass (those little clothes they sell at sunglass stores are good).

Rather than a stiff credit card (or "swipe card" provided with some protectors), I use the stiff, flat edge of a cooking spatula. Kitchenaid makes a good one that you can pull off the handle. Generally, the stiff spatula edge is hard enough to coax bubbles out, but not scrape or scratch the protector. Just enough flex, know whut'll mean?

BTW, don't worry, mznatnat. Even protectors get scratches (my Boxwave one has a tiny little nick on it), so there's always a need for a new one to be applied in a few months, or year. Just remember it's the $15 protector "taking the hit," not your $$$$ phone. ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] mznatnat:
Technically I have the $30 protector..... it is guaranteed to last for the life of the phone... and if it gets damaged in anyway.... I get a replacement one for free... ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] bram30:

[HTC Amaze 4G] inuyasha1999:
This is the one I bought. It was a 3-pack, so I put one on mine and one on my mom's phone since she got the same one, and I have an extra for when one ends up scratched. I fell in love with the anti-fingerprint screen protectors when I bought my HD2 and picked up some from T-Mobile at the same time.

Any particular reason or just personal preference? I used a Zagg on my last phone which required a wet application. It stayed on for the 2.5 years I had the phone and when I removed it, the screen still looked brand new.

I use Clear-Coat and like it alot. I just saw someone posted earlier on XtremeGuard, i should've try that. It's half the price.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bronyr:
I don't use screen protectors, even though I used to. Amaze screen is very good, doesn't leave much fingerprints, easily cleaned. Plus it's a Gorilla :-)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Xcor3:
Erhhhhh. Wrong, its not gorilla glass and wait for it. Lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
erhhh wrong again...it has not officially been anounced if it is gorilla or not...not all phones with gorilla glass are announced to be gorilla according to cornings website under QandA. Having said that...I scratched my screen being extremely carefull...don't know how. my GF also scratched her sensation screen knowing for sure it is gorilla. gorilla is tougher than normal glass but its in no way scratch proof. I use boxwave screen protector...it's reusable and its very smooth feels like the glass...I hated it at first now I love it...better than any other I have used. It's a special material that is reusable and completely invisible.

SGP Screen Protector Steinheil Ultra Series [Ultra Fine]

Check this one out - it is a tad bit on the costlier side, but its worth-it. Since it is Anti-glare the phone screens looks amazing (it gives it sort of a Pastel Art kinda look), easily legible in sunlight as well; and on top of that since it is Anti-fingerprint, the screen simply looks perfect.

I have Zagg invisishield on my Nexus one for a long time and it turned yellow, started to peel and wrinkle. I had to find a better screen protector for my amaze!!

The best one I think is the Realook by far. They send you two and very east to install.
[HTC Amaze 4G] icepixie:
Bumping this thread back up.

Question for everybody with screen protectors -

Does your screen protector fit the screen perfectly with no gaps?

I don't know if having a perfectly fitting screen protector without even a millimetre gap is a reasonable request. I prefer the invisible shield type of screen protector where you have to apply it wet and it has a slighty tackier feeling.

I purchased a screen protector from Skinomi and found there was about a 2mm gap between the protector and the edge. I had a similar experience w/ Skinomi for my HTC Evo 3D where it doesn't fit perfectly, there are some gaps.

Which now leads me to the above question and I'm wondering if m expectations are too high or I should probably try other companies

TIA. :laugh:
