[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zer0_Cool:
What rom are you using? I can throw them in for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
Without doing it for me- that just deserves another thank you :)

At this moment :D I'm on AOKP b27 but that varies quite a bit :o

So instead of you doing all the work for me (may be it is best to learn it myself since I change ROMS fairly often), would you care to help me a bit?

This is what I've found:

1. Root is prerequisite. If you're using stock rom, you can obtain cf-root from here.

2. Install android sdk from here. Eclipse is optional. The essential stuff we need is the adb from the sdk.

3. Please make a backup using cwm in case you end up deleting or corrupting your phone.

4. Connect your phone to the pc.

5. Open cmd and type cd C:\android\tools . (Depends on where is your sdk tools folder)

6. type adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk (Status Bar Modding)

7. Alright, now edit the .apk to .zip in your tools folder.

8. Open up the zip and replace the mdpi files inside with the one you prepared.

9. After all the changes, change the .zip back to .apk

10. Open cmd and type cd C:\android\tools . (Depends on where is your sdk tools folder)

11. type adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk

12. Reboot your phone.

My questions; regarding

7. Alright, now edit the .apk to .zip in your tools folder; and

9. After all the changes, change the .zip back to .apk

Do i rename the .apk to .zip or do I create a .zip?

AND

8. Open up the zip and replace the mdpi files inside with the one you prepared.

the files you would be prepared to share are mdpi files? not .png?

The icons I want in ICS blue (#FF33B5E5 - or same color as the time etc in te notifcation (top) bar) are: Bluetooth icon, Vibrate icon, Alarm icon, and all of the notication icons (talk/ gmail/ whatsapp etc)

If you'd rather point me out in the directio on how to change them myself that would be great too (Photoshop?) :)

Many many thanks for your time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrfenyx:
7. Yes, change the extension to zip. Alternatively simply open it with 7zip/winrar or another archiver.

8. mdpi is the name of the folder. when you open the apk with the archiver you will see a folder called /res/ and inside a couple of drawable[xxx] folders. in theory you should only have to modify files in the drawable xhdpi folder (since the gnex is a xhdpi device). I would suggest extracting the whole /res/ folder and looking in it.

9. if you changed the extension to .zip, change it back to apk. otherwise simply drag and drop the modified files in the correct folders.

PS: make sure you save the original SystemUI.apk somewhere, in case the modifications don't work as expected and you want to revert to the original one ;)

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
Ok, just to be safe.

1. I connect my phone with usb and type adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk in cmd

2. I copy that file to 2 different locations (1 to be sure I have the original in case I screw up :D, 1 to try and modify)

3. I type adb push /system/app/SystemUI.apk so that my phone is still in good state ;)

Then I go to 1 of the saved SystemUI.apk and rename it to SystemUI.zip

I search for the folder /res/ and look for the notification icons etc which I would like to change the color

Change the color of the .png files with the ICS color in photoshop and replace them

Rename SystemUI.zip back to SystemUI.apk

In cmd I type adb push /system/app/SystemUI.apk and reboot

Did I understand it all correctly? Thanks :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jroyalty7:
That's a great attitude!!! Good for you for taking it in your own hands!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrfenyx:
1. the command is: adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk <location>

<location> would then be, for example, c:\temp

so, adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk c:\temp

2. then you create a copy of the SystemUI.apk from you c:\Temp folder

3. no need to push it back. adb pull simply copies a file from the filesystem

Then you go about and do all the other stuff (extract, edit, etc.)

Finally, when all is done you must do this:

In cmd type:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system

adb push <location/SystemUI.apk> /system/app

where <location> is the place where you have the file. so the command would be, for example:

adb push c:\temp\SystemUI.apk /system/app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kochoa940:
can you provide the zip with the png images. I would like it so i can install via root explorer. thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zer0_Cool:
Hey guys, I finished the set, the download link is in my icon thread since that's where the rest of my holo themed/ics blue work is.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
I'll start from here (when I can find some time), when I have further questions I'll post them here. Thanks for your help mate :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zer0_Cool:
No problem, good luck. Shoot me a pm if you get stuck somewhere, don't forget to make a nandroid, etc. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
And also a thanks to you for your help!

So, besides pulling them from systemUI.apk and putting thenm back, what more can I do? You told me you could "put them in my ROM" of choice. Since I regularly flas a diff rom, could you please explain to me how to do this before I flash the new rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zer0_Cool:
What I meant was that I could take the SystemUI.apk file from whatever rom you are currently running. Different roms have different tweaks done here and there, and that's one of the larger areas of change, so I wanted to give you the correct one to avoid any potential complications.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
Ok so I managed to pull the systemUI.apk an rename it to zip.

I found the following .png I ould like to change to ICS blue:

C:\noticons\SystemUI.zip\res\drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi

stat_sys_alarm.png

stat_sys_data_bluetooth.png

C:\noticons\SystemUI.zip\res\drawable-xhdpi

stat_notify_image.png

stat_notify_image_error.png

stat_notify_more.png

stat_sys_alarm.png

stat_sys_ringer_silent.png

stat_sys_ringer_vibrate.png

Now what I couldn't find the notification icons for Gmail/ Gtal/ Whatsapp etc etc; where can I find these? As well as bluetooth connected/ usb debugging icon etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrfenyx:
wild guess: in the gmail, gtalk, whatsapp apks...

good luck ;)

PS: editing non-system apps (also called market apps) is a bit tricky ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
Why is that tricky please?

So how do I change those icons?

adb pull /system/app/Gmail.apk c:\temp

rename to .zip

search for the icon, change

rename to .apk

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system

adb push C:/temp/SystemUI.apk/system/app

like that? Or should I really leave that alone as a n00b?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zer0_Cool:
Those app's weren't included in the set provided by google. What I (or you) will have to do is download the application you want to modify, extract it and find the png that is going to be changed, edit it, name it the same thing as it was before. Then, double click and open the original apk with the archive manager (to avoid re-signing), navigate to the folder the image was in (probably /res/drawable_something) and then drag the new file over. It will overwrite the old image without needing to extract/re-sign/etc. then you adb push theapp.apk /data/app/ and see if it works.

*do you really need to rename it to a .zip to extract on windows? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrfenyx:
can this be actually done without having to resign the apk? I remember trying to change the icon for facebook once. I simply copied the new icon inside the apk and overwrote the existing one (same name but obviously, different size). It seemed to work at first but then the app disappeared from the app drawer (it was still in /data/app/ but I could not use it anymore). had to manually delete it and download and install again from market...

In order to get it to work I had to resign it but we know that is not the optimal way to work...
[LG Nitro HD] mdkrush:
I am running kernalpanic's rom for the Nirto HD and it is great! I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix the wifi tether so is does not alert ATT that I am using it?

Thanks,
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
I've heard of a couple of ways to do it, but never really seen solid instructions. I'm using a USB tether setup that is supposed to be unseen by AT&T.
[LG Nitro HD] mdkrush:
What one do you use? I have tried a couple but was not to impressed...
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
I'm using ClockWorkMod Tether. The link below will give you all you need for it. It's a USB tether only though.

http://www.androidauthority.com/tether-android-phone-computer-pc-mac-avoid-detection-44243/

edit: I forgot to say that it is a free install, but you are limited to a daily usage amount. I paid the $4.99 in-app donation to gain full access with unlimited usage. I felt it was worth it for my situation.
[LG Nitro HD] mdkrush:
Ok, I will give it a try. Thanks!! I hope there is a CyanogenMod rom soon for this phone...!!!
[LG Nitro HD] S1XXV:
I have just posted instructions on how to enable the built in tethering in the phone.

Where did you post it? Sorry if there is an easy way to figure it out... I haven't found it yet...

Thanks!!
[LG Nitro HD] S1XXV:

I found it, thanks a lot! Ever found out if Att charges for using it this way? I am kinda hesitant to try it...

Thanks though!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaCeX:
So I finally flashed I9100UHLPE (the Trinidad & Tobago ICS release, because its closer to the LATAM region), anyways I have noticed some stuff that wasnt there before...

I dont know why, but when I got to synchronize my gmail contacts the phone brought every e-mail address that has ever contacted me, and I wanna tell you that this never happened to me before, I've owned a Nexus One and now this one, flashed a lot of roms and this have never happened before...

I even went to my gmail account and checked if those addresses were on my contacts list... they werent... I'm pretty sure I did nothing wrong but now how do I fix it so it doesnt show this mailing lists and other spam e-mail addresses?

One other thing, a minor not to worry tho... The lockscreen now lets me check the Notification bar, is this ok? Does your (ICS) version have this as well?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gasparzim:
Well, for the contacts part, if you press menu and go into show contacts (or contacts to show, not sure how it should be in the language you are using, I am using portuguese here), you'll get a list with all contacts, SIM, etc... choose the last option, with a cog icon, then press your gmail account, there you can choose which contacts to show. Unmark unknown, that should solve your problem.

As for the notification bar, it is the way it works with ICS, unless you are using a security lockscreen.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaCeX:
Wow I've tried what you just posted and it pretty much hides everyone since I haven't been using grouping... I'm using English btw...

Unchecking Unknown hides everyone that I used to see just fine, checking it shows every e-mail that has contacted me since the dawn of my gmail account

EDIT: Checked the grouping on web gmail and just says My Contacts... but on the phone that group does not show...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netcitizen:

Thank you!
[Nexus One General] taodan:
Which ROM is on your phone now? Have you flashed custom ROM's before? If you answer no, then, I suggest, do some reading on this portal to gain some knowledge first before playing with your phone.
[Nexus One General] Mirko Lona:
I think the phone have already on a modified a ROM.

I have flashed a custom rom on my old htc Blackstone (Windows Mobile 6.5). But i think that flash an Andriod Rom is different, and also the phone is different.

1. hv u installed blackrose? (a custom bootloader) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1270589

3. hv u partitioned ur sd for ext4?

these are the compulsory requirements of the ics roms.

generally flashing in android is very easy n straight forward. but these are lil difficult n tricky.

It won't come to the SGH-T989 unless there is a maintainer that steps forward to help manage it. I'm considering picking this phone up or the 4G Amaze. I haven't decided.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] R4INS:
Cyanogenmod said its "in the oven" for skyrocket and 989 but well behind the other devices they are working on. Mainly due to their build computers getting upgraded. They said a couple weeks and they will be back full speed. Full speed on our devices? Maybe not yet but its coming eventually.

You guys are sure in a hurry for s broken os no ics works perfectly except for the galaxy nexus and nexus s. Which still have major bugs why google put updates on hold. All other devices still have major or bugs. All you guys do here is cry that older devices have it before our device. The longer time you have to develop and work with something. The farther the development team has already have gone.

CM team doesn't not want to be responsible for you not being able to call 911 incase of emergency. Guess what the alpha cm7. People can't hear each other. Unless you have gps on. Which doesn't work all the time. That's a really big major issue. Don't you think?

I mean you can learn how to develop and make your own cm7. But oh wait good luck with that because Qualcomm have their hardware data sheets closed off to the general public. That means even cm team doesn't have access to them. They are waiting for samsung because these are proprietary driver which means even samsung has to wait on Qualcomm.

If you go get a new device you will. Have to wait till source code is released regardless. For the new processors. What's that you will be waiting again for cm yep. While older devices will be running CM9? Yes that's right! Unless source is released.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] R4INS:

Ya know, what bugs me is that the HP Touchpad has CM9. And it wasn't even an Android device to begin with. I mean, come on.

Happily sticking with Darkside 2.5.1 until the official Samsung ICS release.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
I don't think that is correct information. The Galaxy S has issues because it was brought over with very little testing, fixes have been pushed to it.

The GNexus is no longer considered a Google device because of the issues with Verizon. It will no longer get updates from Google, only the carrier. Any bugs that have yet to be fixed already will get a update some day. Thats why all the GNexus people are frustrated with Verizon.

GNexus has already been sent to the FCC for approval for Sprint and that one will be the official Google phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
I believe you are partially correct. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as it is right now there are two versions of the Nexus: CDMA(Verizon) and GSM. So yes, the Verizon version is no longer supported, but the GSM one still is. That would mean the Sprint version and the GSM version are Google phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
Is the gsm one a international?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
Google drops full cdma support so sprint and verizion are no longer supported. They will still be updated but anyone with a cdma nexus. No longer has google support the device tree was removed. You can look this up. Galaxy S is closely related to the nexus s. Hardware wise with data sheets released on humming bird processor.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Madblaster6:
Yes there are international ones on ebay.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PulldOvr:
sprint is a cdma service. It will not be a life Google experience and will likely be bloated with sprint's garbage.

So here is the story. I did a nandroid restore of a backup but that killed my recovery. I did a sbf flash via RSD lite v5.7 with an SBF correct for my Defy.

I followed RSD Lite instructions, on "power the phone on manually" I still was at the android logo, so I took the battery out and restarted. RSD Lite will notify me that the process is done only if I boot into moto boot. No I am always stuck at the Android logo.

What next? Try other SBFs?
[Defy General] mckarty:
looks like you did everything correct, but you are stock on a boot loop so get on stock recovery "pull the battery out an restart wile pressing power+vol down until you see the exclamation triangle, press vol up and down together " and do a full wipe
[Defy General] irontomrackham:
Thank you,

It worked after the third round of flashing and wiping.
[Defy General] Auris 1.6 vvt-i:
You are stuck in bootloop since you didn't do a clean wipe before flashing the SBF.

Press and hold Vol- and Power button. When you get to the android with yellow exclamation mark, press Vol- and Vol+ simultaneously and then wipe data/cache.

Done!
