I'm trying to find a kernel/ROM to use voodoo sound. I have the YP-G1 (US version) with Gingerbread 2.3.6. Is this compatible with my device?

I've got the thing rooted now and am hesitating to try this because I read some threads that indicated some users experienced poor performance...is this still the case? Sorry I'm a noob - any advice and help is desperately needed and appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
Yes it is compatible and should work fine. I'd recommend using Klin's R3 Kernel, or Steven's. I also recommend just flashing the newest CM Build.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klemmaniac:
Someone else recommended Terrasilent over Steven's, but I'm just worried about performance issues from using Terrasilent after reading some posts about it. Why would you recommend Klin's R3 kernel over Terrasilent specifically? I notice in your sig you have the SGP 4.0 and are using CM11. Are there any side effects or issues that come with flashing that on the YP-G1 you've noticed? for instance, in the first post on the CM11 thread, there is a warning that the alarm may not work...I definitely need the alarm to work. have you noticed stuff like this? Any common problems I should watch out for if I flash it? Also, would I maybe save myself some surprises if I used an older version CM that is not as experimental or new? Thanks for any advice and help again.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
I recommend the two I mentioned over Terasilent because they both don't have that weird wiping bug. In regards to performance all performed about the same in my opinion.

CM 11 at first had some slight problems but Zaclimon completely ironed all of them out. I just checked and the alarm works just fine. With flashing all you need is to have is the clockworkmod recovery installed. Before installing backup your current ROM using CWM and follow the instructions Zaclimon wrote. I don't think there's any problems to look out for anymore as he pretty much streamlined the process. Before you flash do you have the Galaxy Player 4.0 or Galaxy S Player 4.0 (it has the physical home button)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klemmaniac:
hmmm...wasn't aware of the 'wiping bug'. I guess I'll have to see what the heck that is.

I have the Galaxy Player 4.0 (U.S. version) which as far as I can tell does not have a physical home button. It's rooted, and I don't have an ext SD card installed and no apps except what came with the player, Superuser and a root checker app-running on Stock original 2.3.6 - the kernel is listed as 2.6.35.7 eunyounglee@hyemin-desktop #2 - I mention this because I bought this player used and I don't know if this is a custom kernel put on by the previous user or is stock - the player seemed not to be rooted when I got it as I rooted it afterwards, but I'm just not sure if it was in the past at some point.

I don't have CWM that I know of because I haven't flashed any other kernel/ROM that includes it. I guess this means that I need to do that? Should I just start with Terrasilent or Klin's kernel to get the CWM or do it another way? Also, I am reading in the CM11 thread about wiping /system and /data at some point (I don't understand if I do this before or after flashing CM11-one post I read indicated to do it after(?)) and I'm not sure exactly how to do that. Thanks again for any direction you can provide.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
If you are planning to upgrade to CM11 then either is fine. The CM11 will upgrade CWM from version 5 to version 6 ( I don't know the exact number). When you install CWM you'll see options that say wipe data factory reset, wipe cache and in advanced settings wipe dalvick. There's also a video on YouTube on how to get this correctly installed. Here it is: https://youtu.be/lO_IE-m0FuI
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klemmaniac:
Thanks for the vid link and info. Would you mind looking over a list the steps I am going to take before I do this to make sure it looks okay?

1) Flash klin's R3 kernel through ODIN

2) make a nandroid of current ROM through CWM (installed by Klin's kernel). Back up efs (not clear exactly on how to do this - the instructions indicate to input a line of text, but I don't know where to input that line of text or through what app or program this is done - CWM??. I assume I then need to find the backup somewhere on the device and get it onto my computer?)

3) Install CM11: I will follow the instructions from the CM11 thread under "if coming from Stock".

4) Install Gapps - not sure about this - do I need this? I do use the market/google play store app and assume that I would need to install this to get that back it sounds like, but again, not sure. also, the step is "7. The device will reboot a last time into recovery where you can flash gapps if you want." If I skip this step, can I go back into this recovery mode and install it later through CWM I assume?

I'm still not sure if or when I need to wipe the /system /data and/or dalvick cache - is this still necessary at some point?

Lastly, I'm a little confused about the location of the cm-11-20151108-NIGHTLY-ypg1.zip file I downloaded. I assume I need to put that on the player itself into the internal sd card, correct? Is there a specific directory it must be in?

One other thing while I'm at it...my main purpose in fiddling with all this was to be able to use voodoo sound. I know CM11 comes with the capability, but as with the kernel, do I need to install the voodoo sound apk after installing CM11, or am I all set to go for listening to music with voodoo sound?

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klemmaniac:
Well I installed Kiln's R3 Kernel through Odin and it booted up fine, but when I rebooted into CWM to make a nandroid backup, I got an error message stating that /data could not be mounted,"Unable to find an appropriate backup handler. I decided I should come back to it later and selected the option to re-boot (or power off I can't remember) from CWM and not it's in a boot loop...over and over. I can get it into CWM, but when trying to reboot or power off I can't avoid the boot loop and get to the home screen. What should I do?

Hi there,

Is it possible that someone could develop a TeamSpeak 3 server for android? (Not the teamspeak 3 client, the server)

It would be awesome as you could run it on your phone and not have to run a pc 24/7. It coluld use wifi and 3G if you on the go.

I also though it may be possible that you can install in on linux for android using Linux Installer. Then install the linux server adition found here.

Please respond if you can try develop this or if you think its possible and know what you talking about :)

Thanks

So I want to change my statusbar to the classic style. (The white version from 2.2 and back) So I was wondering if there is a way to do this. I have a rooted samsung exhibit 2 4g running Rebel Rom 2.1. Any help appreciated
[Android Themes] bartoloandre98:
Ok.
[Android Themes] gmaster1:
yes there is. first grab the statusbar.apk from somewhere (anywhere). then replace the current statusbar.apk with the new one. reboot after. note that it may not work depending on screen size. you may status-brick your phone. (if you know what i mean)

Sent From The Phone Of Gamers
[Android Themes] brokenAndroid93:
I'm a little new to this. So where in root explorer would that apk be? And where would I find this apk and would it automatically change to the classic version after I replace the old one?
[Android Themes] gmaster1:
goto /system/apps (different on nearly every phone) and then replace. the status bar will be missing at first so do a reboot. if you cant find the statusbar.apk file then there is an explorer out there (root) that allows you to search for it. im not sure if root ex has it but try anyway. remember to find one designed for your device. (or one which screen size matches) or you could status-brick your phone. as always something could go wrong if you play about with it so i take no responsibility and assure you if you follow all instructions...both instructions (XD) correctly then you should have what you want.

Well there aren't any roms with that version for my phone. So what would be my next option?

There's a Retro Android theme for CM7 somewhere. That'll have all the icons to make then hopefully you/someone can help create the theme.

Thank you
[Android Themes] brokenAndroid93:
I have that apk. So what your saying is that I need to find someone who can use this apk to make a status bar apk out of it? Could I replace the current status bar apk with the Retro Droid apk?
[Android Themes] Curiousn00b:
Yes. Just find the right file. ;)
[Android Themes] brokenAndroid93:
But since its just a theme wouldn't it not be considered part of the system UI?
[Android Themes] Curiousn00b:
Depends on the file your replacing ....

I'm gonna try to make the GB statusbar froyo. Tell you how it went :P
[Android Themes] brokenAndroid93:
With the icons and all? If successful please let me have it lol. Btw I'm replacing SystemUI.apk
[Android Themes] gmaster1:
system ui is only icons and out line. example: hold power to get a menu. the icons will be different and maybe the outline a different colour. thats it. the icons also involve check boxes and things. not settings though.

[Android Themes] brokenAndroid93:
OK, well the forum for rebel rom 2.1 said that systemui.apk is the status bar.apk for that rom. So if I delete systemui.apk and replace it with retrodroid.apk. will I get my desired goal?
[Android Themes] jacobas92:
Why not just try UOT Kitchen?
[Android Themes] brokenAndroid93:
What's that?
[Android Themes] brokenAndroid93:
Looked into it, so I can make a rom for my phone that looks like froyo?
[Android Themes] gmaster1:
yes. that is what this program does. it allows you to edit things in roms. if the sytemui.apk is the statusbar (ive never seen a phone like that) then go ahead and replace it but im sure that its not ment to be like that...systemui is statusbar...

Are you using a custom rom atm? Can you link me to it?
[Android Themes] brokenAndroid93:
Who's this aimed at?
[Android Themes] thachosenone:
that is by far the WORST piece of advice i've ever seen on XDA. why would you even suggest that? and honestly....statusbar.apk?

The exhibit II 4g runs a Samsung rom, so you can't just throw in any apk from anywhere, especially from another phone that isn't the exhibit II 4g. and its not screen size you should be looking for, it should be the resolution, so if anything, start with the i9000/cap/vib/fasc/epic theme forums and make sure its a Samsung TW ROM you're pulling it from.

there are a few custom ROMS in the Misc android Development Forum, you should start there, and see if anyone has made any themes.
[Android Themes] brokenAndroid93:
All of the roms for the exhibit all look the same, and I just want a classic look for my statusbar, that's it. Android is known for its openness and all of its modifications and cool hacks. And I have a rooted phone which is the magic little key to doing all this, so why on earth isnt there a theme tool for any rooted android phone, why is cyanogenmod 7 the only rom that I can use this on? On my rooted kindle fire, I installed cm7 and used the theme tool to do what I wanted. I downloaded the theme apk, pressed ONE button and bam, a classic Retro status bar. So please tell me WHY there isn't a way to do this on ALL rooted android phones. Why is this simple tool that can solve this whole problem exclusive to cm7 ? I'm sorry but I just find this all ridiculous.
[Android Themes] thachosenone:
Because cm7 is completely built from source. When you use any sort of proprietary Rom, like sense or touchwiz, there are dependencies that are required. That's why some people prefer cm7 over their phones stock Roms.
[Android Themes] brokenAndroid93:
I'm so sick of this. All I want to do is have the classic white status bar. Thats it. This is so stupid, how is it that on the best platform for development I can't get this simple thing done. Why is there no way at all the accomplish this one simple task that any developer could do. Why?
[Android Themes] SupaKid:
Relax, chief.

If you can upload the SystemUI.apk and framework.apk from the ROM you're using, I'll take a quick look at it.

Where are these .apks located?

SystemUI.apk - system/app/SystemUI.apk

framework.apk - system/framework/framework.apk

And you want just the white status bar? Or the white status bar, AND icons?
[Android Themes] djmcnz:
It's not as simple as you think, or you've been lead to believe. And some of the advice you've received here is appalling.

The status bar is complex and it's far from just one object. You have to think about what it does; carries text, updates constantly, holds the notification drawer, responds to touch events, alarms etc, etc. Additionally many of the graphics are dynamic.

Back in the day, when everybody wanted a black status bar (because Cupcake, Donut, Eclair and Froyo all had white status bars) we had a hella time getting the clock and notification text white. We did it of course.

T-Mobile created the theme engine and when it was open sourced CM and now AOKP have picked it up.

The introduction of SystemUI made it a LOT easier than modifying the core framework but it's still a challenge if you don't have a theme engine.

So, your options are:

Use a rom with theme engine support (CM or AOKP) and use or create a Froyo theme.

Do it manually on a rom without a theme engine.

Get used to dark.

Some of your assumptions are way off. The "one button" option you refer to took 100's of hours to create and 1000's of hours to get right over 3 major revisions of Android. It was far from simple.
[Android Themes] brokenAndroid93:
Icons to I guess, yea sorry for the outburst you have no idea how many times Ive talked to people about this problem lol
[Android Themes] djmcnz:
Have you asked in the Rebel rom thread?

Some code changes will be required however (to change text and clock colour) and these changes are not for the faint of heart.

I'm sorry I can't give you better news but someone above was nice to offer to take a look for you.
[Android Themes] brokenAndroid93:
I know, ill ask anyways, doubt theyll change the status bar though just for me
[Android Themes] brokenAndroid93:
Well anybody else wanna help me with trying to install this metamorph theme? lol

[Android Themes] zelendel:
This will depend greatly on the version of OS your using. In GB it was an image, in ICS and JB it is a color code. Both can be changed to get what you want but will take some reading up and trial and error. SystemUi layout/status bar.xml will tell you what it is looking for. Then you either change the color or direct it to another image. There are tons of tuts around XDA that will tell you
[Android Themes] brokenAndroid93:
Thank you for your help, but I've since tried other ways of doing this and in the end, I found the best way was to request for the cyanogenmod version to be ported to newer builds. Which today payed off lol. So I'm satisfied with just having it as a theme for theme Chooser. But thanks again.
