[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] haieb:
hi,

your idea could look good. Theming is easy if u know how to decompile and recompile but its a lot of work editing every single image and 9.png. Probably u could learn it and find some dudes who can help u. i worked with a guy who learned it by himself and now he is doing his themes. His theme is the black infinitum(razor(x))...ask him if he can help u, he is good ;)

Good luck

Edit

sorry didn#t saw ur last post with the white background :P What u need is to change the textcolor in the xmls. don´t know wich one =/ by the way if u didn´t decomiled the apk u have to do it to be able to edit xmls.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dully79:
I havent had a play yet with ICS but if its still similar to GB you'll need to decompile and edit framework-res.apk/res/values/colors.xml.

This might help you:

http://www.anddev.org/tutorial_ui_themes-t4367.html

I was going to look at putting my own style into the framework and then re-directing to the theme by editing the manifest as described above but i never got around to it.

Hope this helps.:)

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dully79:
Your welcome.

xml editing isnt difficult at all, if the link i posted earlier

does

work then it would save a massive amount of time editing apk's to match your theme, instead you tell apk's to use your pre configured theme.

I might do a bit of testing next week when im in a relatively stable state.;)

[LG Optimus 3D] mbuugg:
Never mind, a further search pointed the source on the LG web site. But it is still appreciated if someone can post tun.ko because people were looking for it and I don't have the setup to do the compiling yet.

===============

I was trying to get tun.ko for ThiaiZO3D or other GB build. I searched the forum and found several people asked before in ThiaiZ's thread and ThiaiZ seemed to acknowledge to add TUN support long ago but it never appeared in ThiaiZ's kernel. I PM'ed ThiaiZ but he did not respond to me. So I am asking help here. In order to build tun.ko, do I need the original source to compile, or can I just grab some other source and set the correct CPU type and version header to just compile the module? If the original source is needed, where to find it? Or if someone had the source handy, can you post the tun.ko? Thanks for your help.
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
Hi mate, sorry if I didn't answer, I have really a lot of things to do right now, but would like to help as soon as I make my 4 ROM out there stable. 2/4 are already working stable, so soon we can join forces to port what you need in the kernel.
[LG Optimus 3D] mbuugg:
Thanks ThiaiZ! Actually trax11 has post tun/cifs modules long time ago. I should have done more homework before posting.

I have a few brief questions regarding unlocking and such thanks in advance.

So I recently bought a new phone and want to this give this phone to my Girl but she's in at&t.Would it be possible for her to use it even though its a T-Mobile phone and she doesn't have a data plan with at&t?

Another question is this glacier is rooted so is it unlock? or is there a total diffieent process to "unlock " this phone? so maybe she can use it for other carrier..

Thanks for any input would be appreciated,good day
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazykas:
Depend on rooted method.You can unlock it via gfree.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
1a) this this is a GSM phone, yes you can use it on any GSM network if you have a SIM card from your carrier. IF the HSPA(+) bands are different you will not get HSPA(+), you will only get EDGE/edge signal or lower.

1b) AT&T might pick up that she is using a smart phone and automatically want to charge for for a data, IF you delete the APNs it should prevent them from "talking" to her phone.

2) Rooting doesn't equal SIM unlocking. You can be unlocked w/o being rooted, or be rooted w/o being unlocked.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Careless_:
Hi everyone.

I accidentally dropped my phone as I was getting out of my car (damn that new coat with all it's pockets!).

Now I noticed that at full volume, the speaker is really hard to understand, and at about 1/3 volume it becomes clearer- but the person becomes harder to hear in terms of loudness.

At full volume it's as though the person on the other side is talking with their lips on the mic and really loudly.

Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the speaker, or what could have caused this? I am familiar with taking the phone apart. I've done it a number of times, but I'm just wondering if it even makes sense to try at this point.

thnx

EDIT: I found this.

http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-desire-z-earpiece-speaker-replacement.html

anyone install one of these? requires desoldering, I guess?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottmog:
I dont think it requires anything really besides opening. I believe that when I swapped my spring the speaker is on the back side of the phone and the entire motherboard is seperate on front side.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Careless_:
thanks scott.

you're correct. no soldering. it has two spring-bent type contacts and it looks like there is a metal bracket around the speaker that has 4 indentations to hold the speaker down over 4 small cavities in the speaker body.

should be easy.

and i found it for 2 bucks to boot!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaszek:
Yea, replacing the speaker is very easy. First take off the back (4 screws) and then I think there is one more screw to get the speaker loose. But I don't remember exactly. Might be none.

Hi all,

does anyone else NOT like the stock keyboard? I own the 2010 X10 Mini and the stock keyboard is brilliant...you CANNOT make mistakes ... it just works.

My problem is the stock keyboard on the Xperia Mini is way too sensitive. There is a thread on sensitive keys, but I just read they are talking about the BACK and MENU keys not the text buttons.

Has anyone tried alternative keyboards on our Mini that they recommend? p.s. I like SE's non-qwerty keyboard, T9 etc. I quite like that.

I've learned to mount while in recovery and put a ROM in the root folder, but when i go to "flash zip from sdcard" i can't select anything?

Was there something i forgot? I see that the ROM is a img file, do i mount it and extract the files within it and then put those into the root folder? (Just tried it, and nothing happens when i mount the img?)

Are there other things i have to do all over again b4 i can even flash a rom?

*I wiped everything b/c i was trying to re-flash the rom i had in order to see if that would solve my Wi-Fi problems.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
It needs to be a zip file in order to flash through recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3PeeO:

Well that totally depends on the rom. Some custom Rom's might not have wifi set up yet, which does seem strange because that is a basic. But go over the simple things first such as :Is wifi enabled. I know it sounds stupid but it could be a fix lol!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orlandoryo:
Hello everyone, this is my first post and it´s about my Defy, which, for some reason, the USB port does not work to access the phone and/or the SD Card.

1: I did a soft and hard reset and the problem persists.

2: The phone does not show up on the device manager under Windows so not even an error message saying "Device not recognized" or something. Also, it won´t show up in Ubuntu.

3. The "Connect your charger" message shows up all the time.

4. No notification in the phone when plugged to the PC .

5. Even though I can´t access the phone from the PC, I still can´t charge it through the USB port.

6. I can connect/access the phone and SD Card using Wi-Fi (Motorola Phone Portal) but not USB. I can see "Plug in USB to launch" in Phone Portal but cannot press the button, only the one referring to Wi-Fi.

PS: This is my second Defy, the first one got the same problem so I got a new one... sadly, the it happened again.

PS2: I wonder if a USB 3.0 port has to do with anything? It´s the only thing that I noticed before the USB stopped working.

Any help or hint is greatly appreciated.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ_Synergy:
well, i don't think it's an usb3 problem ...

to be sure you could try to connect your phone with an older usb2 port computer ...

is the phone charging on wall charger and usb-cable ???

if not, it really sounds like a hardware failure ... then i would send it to customer service and tell them that there is the same problem again .. maybe the just repaired something and it's faulty again ... be sure, that they are changing the faulty things ...

if your phone is charging on wall charger, it could be that it is an problem with your pc ... try another one ...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orlandoryo:
1. I mentioned the USB 3.0 port because it was the only common thing just before the usb conection stopped working.

2. The phone charges normally using the wall charger or usb (2.0, 3.0) cable through the PC.

3. It does not matter what PC is connected to or the OS (Ubuntu, Win7)/

Thanks for the response!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labsin:
It is possible to brick it. Wtih some phone's it seems to be a common error for usb ports to be blown.

Could also be the cable... My cable that came with the defy was already snatched after a few months. My screen started going on and of when I was charging it.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orlandoryo:
Is there a way to check for faulty hardware-related issues?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ_Synergy:
just test different cables, computers or even mobiles ... then you will see, what is faulty :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orlandoryo:
What I meant was some software that check or even some kind of physical device. :D

Anyway, I know it´s not the cable or PC faulty but the phone itself. But I want to confirm if it´s software or hardware related and if there´s a fix. :confused:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidmo:
I have two bluetooth devices in my car.

1) the factory bluetooth hands free set for phone calls

2) blackberry gateway stereo that connects to media to stream whatever im playing through my aux connection

I had a droid incredible and it would auto connect to both devices when I turned bluetooth on, it was beautiful.

Now with the Razr it only connects to the phone audio and I have to go into the bluetooth settings and click the stereo gateway for it to connect to it as well.

This is a pain, does anyone know of anyway whatsoever to have the bluetooth connect to both devices automatically when I switch bluetooth on. I do have the tasker app if that helps, but I have read that the app cannot physically connect a device.

Smart actions are worthless in this situation. The only reason I know this is possible is because I did it with a phone over 2 years old for all 2 years I had it.
[Acer Iconia A500] CharlieSummers:
I've searched, and cen't seem to find the answer anywhere. In other tablets, manually updating the media library is a simple selection in settings, but I can't for the life of me find it in the Iconia.

Where (if anywhere) can one manually update the media library?
[Acer Iconia A500] haag498:
The settings item isn't there, there are some apps on the market that trigger the update, though.
[Acer Iconia A500] CharlieSummers:
Yeah, I'm sure there are; I sideloaded a widget that triggers a media update.

But the updater is clearly on the tablet, and there should be somewhere on the thing where it can be manually triggered - after all, if the widgets can do it, there should be a way for "mortals" to get it to update its media.

(Anyone know why acer would make it so unnecessarily difficult?)
[Acer Iconia A500] lowsum:
Android scan for new media at boot, the widget do just that. There is probably a command line for that, but between you and me, what's faster, toggle a widget or enter a line in terminal? Personnaly I use FX file manager, in tools there is a rescam media toggle.
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
I'm running one of the leaked ICS releases. Will one of these widgets help the stock music player or google music find my music that is stored on the external sdcard?? For the life of me I can't find an option to select a folder to search in any of these programs.
[Acer Iconia A500] lowsum:
You can try to create a symbolic link of ext-sd to your internal sdcard, look on the market there's an app for that. But if remember right, symbolic link cannot be used on fat32 partition, ext2-ext3 can work. Beware I once screwed a sd-card formating it ext2.

I appologize bugging everybody, but have a problem. I recently switched carriers from T-Mobile to Simple Mobile. I carrier unlocked my phone and not having any issues as far as calling or texting is concerned. But when I try to gain internet access it forwards me to the T-Mobile apppack site. I'm sure it has to do with changing carrier providers under wireless settings, but I don't know what to change the info to. Here's what I'm running:

I appreciate any help I can get to fix this. I hate asking questions and much rather like finding the answer myself, but I can't find it anywhere. Maybe I just missed it.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
You need to get the Access Point Name (APN) information from your new provider (This might be it, under Android 1.6 and higher). Then go into Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names. Click the menu button, select "New APN", and set the information they gave you. Once that's done I believe you need to select your new APN vs the T-Mobile US APN and it should work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Well you wiped the phone, so there's nothing to boot into.

You need to put a rom on the root of the SD card (not in any folders). Make sure the rom is made for your device. Boot into recovery and flash the rom, you should have a working phone after that.

Now the only problem that stands is that the phone doesn't mount my sd card... Its an 8gb kingston, maybe I should get one with less capacity? The previous owner used a 4gb card and she said she never had any trouble regarding that...

Although the phone specifications on the net say it can handle cards up to 16gb :S

I got very similar problem. Have u tried to install different sd card. Maybe current one is broken like in my case?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matts95:
Note: I do not have this device

See [GUIDE]All Huawei new&old phones-Install Stock Rom-Full Reset

Procedure:

1) Download stock ROM from HERE (im guessing you want Vodaphone UK)

2) Format your SD card to FAT32 (plug it into computer, right click on device, format, follow instructions)

3) Create the folder "dload" (without the quotes of course) on to the root (top level) of your SD card.

3) Extract the UPDATE.APP from the stock ROM and place it in "dload"

4) Power off your phone and put sd card in.

5) Power on by pressing POWER+RED_BUTTON+VOLUME_UP

If done correctly you will see a progress bar saying "UPDATING!"

Edit: this will reset the device to normal, however it will of course require a working SD Card. Try using a friends, try using your card in other devices (other phones, computers, etc).

To test SD Cards in your phone:

1) Insert Card

2) Boot into recovery

3) Go to Mounts & Storage menu

4) Plug device into computer

5) Choose "Mount sdcard over USB" (or similar)

6) If it shows up on the computer it is working, and you may as well use it to carry out the steps above

Note, if you are still checking for sdcard after resetting the phone, you will need to devise another method as the recovery will be replaced. For example use the storage menu in system settings, as this will show stats on the sdcard if it is readable.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubenLockheart:
My phone is working!

The problem with the SD card was that it was password protected, so I used another phone to disable the password, about the ROM, i just picked another one, I actually found it here on XDA! The celestial teapot, I really like it :)

Now all I want to know is if its possible to have multitouch on my phone?

And by the way, THANK YOU ALL for your help guys! You're awsome! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
No problem, glad to help. Glad you got everything up and running too :) Multitouch is included in the kernel (at least on my device). If you can find a custom kernel for your phone, make sure it's compatible with your rom. I'm not familiar with your phone, so you'll need to do some checking on kernels. I'm not sure if multitouch is also a hardware limitation or not, so if you don't have multitouch at all it may not be possible. Kernels determine the number of touch points on my phone, if you don't have it at all then it may not be possible or there may be another mod for it.

If you can flash a custom kernel to achieve this, remember to do a nandroid backup first. Always do a backup when flashing anything. If they start to take up too much space, delete the old ones and just keep the most recent. Also remember to only wipe dalvik and cache when flashing a kernel.

Again, since I'm not familiar with your phone you'll need to do some research on these things first. The best thing you can do is read, read, and read some more. If you get stuck again, the good people here will always be able to help you out.
