Still can't get the apk to recompile properly. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I decompiled SystemUI.apk, then I did some modification to a .9 image (per detailed instructions I found so I know I'm doing that part right) then I recmpile with 0 errors, but when I push it back to the phone it never loads the status bar.

I also tried removing the resources.arsc file as mentioned above. Here is log from compile:

Here is a video I put together using apktool. I know does not have a friendly user ui, but I find to be much quicker in the long run. I find I have leads issues using it a well.

Another day, another question! I'm looking to change the color of the progress bars that appear on the pulldown. So far, I tracked down all the progress bar .9 images and modified them accordingly, this didn't do it. Next I poked around in the xml's and changed all the relevent hex codes. Still no luck. Can anyone point me to the correct place?

This was all done in twframework-res.apk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KLLSWITCH:
there in framework-res.apk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pendo:
yep, in frame-res and the file is called progress_horizontal.xml

Normally those files are in framework-res apk /res/drawable-hdpi, Although on some Rom's, now you have a drawable-xhdpi folder also...look for file names that start with "status_bar_item_" .

Try to Wipe Data/Factory Reset from CWM and then install the ROM again. (you are using 150mb system partition and 5 cache, right?)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] beblioy:
i use 150 mb partition but i use 45mb cache is this problem ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
I don't think so, but sometimes, when you create an over-sized partition the ROM doesn't boot/properly.

So you may want to reduce that to 5mb.

Hello Everyone,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I rooted it successfully.

Then I tried to install a CRT-style lock animation mod. For this I had to copy a new file into the /system/framework folder replacing an existing one. Once I did that my phone won't boot.

It restarts with the Samsung Galaxy S2 logo and the yellow triangle. Then the sound plays with an android text style logo. Then it just turns off.

What do I do? How do I transfer a ROM over so I can flash it? My CWM is v4.0. something so it won't read a ROM from my external SD card. And Kies won't load my phone because it isn't booted onto an OS.

I feel as if I'm stuck! Please help! thanks, I'm a total noob.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysDroid:
you could put it into download mode and flash it using ODIN! I am a bit of a noob as well, so im not sure if you could flash the new clockwork recovery mod from ODIN, but you could definately flash a new ROM :)

Btw, i have heard that people have messed up there phone while modding frameworks. Your phone isn't bricked though, don't worry.

You can try to flash official firmware first through Odin from Download Mode.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android311:
Did you have clock work mod flashed?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solomon13:
You can use ODIN to flash stock image. Do a search on google for STOCK ROM GALAXY S 2 T989. You may need to know your kernel however.. I have bricked my Samsung Galaxy S many times. ODIN always saves my ass. If you have clockwork, you can just flash a new rom. Use your PC to download a rom and sideload it. Clockwork Mod has mount and storage so you can mount your SD and sideload rom then flash.

Do you have a terminal program on your phone? Maybe you can try to connect to localhost and try from there.

Because of the Permission denied message: your phone is rooted?

I don't have a terminal program on my phone because I have a boot loop issue, so I can only get to download and recovery mode.

From CWM v2.5.1 I've done "Advanced SpeedMod Features" --> "ROOT / Install Superuser" --> "Simple: install busybox+su" so I think my phone is rooted

Have you installed a kernel? 0320 doesn't come with one, and stock doesn't support ext4.

I installed pbj but that doesn't come with a ext4 conversion. So I installed imoseyon 4.0 so I could do a conversion in voodoo control app. But when I flash back after that to pbj the quadrant score goes down to about 1000 on pbj as opposed to 1900 on 4.0
[General Questions and Answers] getfuzzy77:
I have a Samsung Exhibit II 4g.

I just rooted, and I haven't deleted any apps yet.

When the phone reboots and gets back to the main screen it plays a random jingle that I'm assuming the phone originally came with (sounds like a generic ringtone). The first time it did this I got it to stop by unlocking the main screen. The second time it did this it played for a few minutes before stopping.

Any ideas?

I may have to unroot the phone if I can't fix this. Would a factory reset do the trick since I haven't deleted any apps yet?
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Yep. A factory reset would be my first step. You'll need to re-root after the reset, but that can be done with SuperOneClick :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qnorsten:
Hi this is probably a stupid question. But i have searched and looked around in different thread in the forum. And i can´t find a concrete answer that works for me.

I am new to this with modding and theming but i am learning as I go.

My question is how do i change the color or transperency of the space between notifications(see screenshot)?

I had to change back to stock background cause it was to ugly

I have tried to find the correct picture in the drawable-hdpi in SystemUI.apk without luck.

I have tried to look at the value and layout folder in SystemUI.apk and changed stuff without luck.

One thread told me that it could work to change the divider_height_xxx.9.png in framework-res.apk which i also tried.

But still no luck. Does anyone know which file to change?

It's possibly that i am changing the right file but doing something wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Sincerly Qnorsten.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
so i kinda started to get into theming and im doing well i think lol but i wanna know how to get templates for the roms i wanna make a theme for i got one for el30 (thanks travmofosho) but i wanna try and theme cm7.2 beta 1 but im not sure if i would have to theme the orginal rom file or is there a certain way to get a template or something less than the full rom that i can just flash over it?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkierawr:
Well the key to theming is proper punctuation and grammar.

So start with that.

And really all you need to do is download a ROM and rip the files out. If you want to theme CM9, download CM9 and extract the appropriate files. Same for EL30.

I remember someone had the files pre-ripped and ready to go back in the day. Maybe you could be the one to pick that back up!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
It depends on whether you want it to work with theme changer or not. If not then just pull the framework-res and systemui out of the ROM. But for CM7 if you want it to work with theme changer you will need to rip apart an apk that is set up for it like androidian or cyanogen from the ROM or download one that is close to what you want and mod that. If you google making a theme for cm7 a tutorial pops up in the list.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
Lol, well alright, im just used to typing without caring. I'm not trying to get it to work with the theme chooser app. I just want it to be a flashable .zip since it seems that development for cm7 has kind of slowed down so I can use my theme until its updated. So basically all i have to do is delete all the files from the ROM and keep the things that get themed like systemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, and the other things?

And about making templates for other ROMs i would just make them and post them in the themes section..? I need an account to upload files though. I'll have to sign up with something.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
XDA allows up to 12 Mb in a zip file which will handle most themes with a couple of system apps. And yup, you are good to. Just yank out the framework and systemui and have at it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
seems to complicated for me to mess with lol thanks tho ill try and figure that out later
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Not to hard you need to install java developer kit... and then the android sdk.. and install the resources for gingerbread or 2.3... once thats done get apk manager or apktool. you use apktool/manager to decompile the res and change the values/colors.xml.. its a little hard to explain to someone who just started ;) youll get there though i did eventually.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
You could always throw it into the kitchen and change the background color of the menus or change the text to white.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
I think the kitchen would b an easier solution lol or at least just for now

But I'm having one other problem

I used a template provided by travmofosho (I think that's his name srry if I spelled wrong) and the bootanimation says "nashdogg" lol cuz he made that for him and I can't seem to get rid of it I tried applying a boot ani from the kitchen but it doesn't stick over it how could I get that out..?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
It is probably the kernel splash. Flash another kernel

But here's a thing - if you're going with a new phone, why not try new services? Let's face it, Androids have been horribly #smokedbywindowsphone in the real-world tests of simple things like finding a restaurant, posting to twitter and facebook, uploading a pic to facebook...the tight integration of the people hub and the extended features of Bing (visual/music/local scout) might just be better ;)

For starters, instead of Pandora, try TuneIn Radio.

I also have the Lumia 900. After being excited about this phones camera...i can tell you that I am severely disappointed. I've been using the Samsung Note and the pictures aren't even close. Almost seems like there is a camera problem that needs to be fixed.

Very grainy and out of focus. Poor colors and detail...and shots im low light are terrible. Worst phone camera I have used in a long time. I tried to attach an image but I can't on Windows phone 7. I'll put on on later.

That being said...the front camera is the best I've used by far.
