Sorry if i not comment before about the 9png files but at least on Android-Utility over Linux it doesn't matter if i get that errors, the apk it's compiled fine, i suppose that be the same on Apktool but maybe not...

Also, i find this thread, maybe can be very useful. I think i'm gonna add it to the OP too.

[Galaxy S II General] LegendZenify:
Well, apktool and stuffs for Windows are really fickle.

Even have to use different aapt for different files.

And a single improper 9.png files throws up lots of errors.

Btw, could you tell westcrip to fix those two 9.png files in framework-res.apk?
[Galaxy S II General] GaboWinter:
OP updated to include the link to the [MODDING/THEMING] Apktool for ICS apks thread, if you are using APK tool and have some troubles at the moment of decompile/compile, take a look there.

I'm gonna send to him your post ;)
[Galaxy S II General] ssettor:
...really need the system icon..hv google for it..but didnt found any..

Anyone hv link for icon?
[Galaxy S II General] GaboWinter:
Sorry, exactly ¿what icon? :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] ssettor:
This kind of icon..

http://androiddrawableexplorer.appspot.com
[Galaxy S II General] GaboWinter:
You can extract it from the ROM that you are using, that icon are on the SystemUI.apk, and you can use the "Drag&Drop" method featured on the OP, to copy it on your PC.
[Galaxy S II General] ssettor:
If i need other color..hve to edit 1 by 1 isnt it?
[Galaxy S II General] GaboWinter:
Yes, or search some icon pack and just replace it on your apk
[Galaxy S II General] Arnadel:
This is great ! Thanks for guide kroz46 :)

Thank you GaboWinter :)
[Galaxy S II General] kroz:
no problem mate, sorry for the delay and thanks for reminding me, :)

i do hope you can now make and edit images to your own liking :)
[Galaxy S II General] Arnadel:
Yes :) Thank you again :)
[Galaxy S II General] GaboWinter:
You're welcome mate, i'm glad of see that helps and that kroz have his own guide, i'm gonna update the OP with the link to his guide. :D

Try to change the contacts backround using decompile/compile method..but the background still black..
[Galaxy S II General] GaboWinter:
Update

¡kroz46 guide added to the OP!

¿Are you sure that you sign the .apk?
[Galaxy S II General] ssettor:
Yes..i'm using autoapktool...i'm rb 1.6..so can or not using ur example template?i've copy the contacts on app ..n framewok-res on framework
[Galaxy S II General] shadowblade330:
why not use Gabos Base and just place the framework-res.apk in /system/framework and contact.apk in /system/apps in the appropriate place. I use Gabos Base for all my Rbox Mods.
[Galaxy S II General] ssettor:
which 1 is GAbo Base i just download the example folder that hae meta inf and system folder in it
[Galaxy S II General] kroz:
yes mate, that is the base that you can use
[Galaxy S II General] GaboWinter:
You can, but for that mod that you wanna make it's better use the "Drag&Drop" method.

How to decompile the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk with APK Tool?

How to go to path /res/layout and open the status_bar.xml file ?

How to go to the path /res/drawable-hdpi and also /res/drawable-nodpi ?

Really don't know coding - -
[Galaxy S II General] shadowblade330:
u dont need to know coding, all you need is winrar or 7zip which is free

and extract the apk and u will find those system files in the extracted folder.
[Galaxy S II General] Yat_Fung:
Thx mate, got winrar but don't know it can extract ask, thx !
[Galaxy S II General] Yat_Fung:
But how to decompile apk?
[Galaxy S II General] shadowblade330:
U should use 7zip too its just as useful as winrar and I find easier to use
[Galaxy S II General] Yat_Fung:
Do why I hv to use apktool?
[Galaxy S II General] ssettor:
I think if u need to change the xml file..u need to decomile the apk..then compile it again..and sign that apk
[Galaxy S II General] shadowblade330:
Yea for changing XML files and .9.PNG files
[Galaxy S II General] ssettor:
So sad..using drag n drop method also cant...what i hv done wrong??

What is resolution for that png..original 1 512x512..do i hv 2 make the sam res or 480x800
[Galaxy S II General] kroz:
hi,

can you explain your step by step procedure so that we can see what is missing why it wont work on you?

for background, it is much better if you use 480x800 since we usually use our phone in portrait mode,
[Galaxy S II General] ssettor:
Finally it works on setting b.ground..but on contact got error

There no contact app on app menu...

I hv copy that contacts.apk on system/app
[Galaxy S II General] kroz:
Is your contacts working now?
[Galaxy S II General] Yat_Fung:
How to compile the framework-res.apk and sign the framework-res.apk ?thx
[Galaxy S II General] kroz:
hi mate,

you have to use apktool for that,

please check OP, i think gabo has tutorial or a link there on how to decompile/recompile apks, :)
[Galaxy S II General] ssettor:
No

[Galaxy S II General] kroz:
can you double check if you put the background correctly on contacts.apk /res/drawable-nodpi and make sure that the file name (background_dial_holo_dark.png) of the background is correct, and that you placed the contacts.apk inside the zip file /system/app

haha, good for you mate, congrats :D
[Galaxy S II General] Yat_Fung:
But i really don't know how to sign it and make it as a mod, plz help, thx
[Galaxy S II General] GaboWinter:
In the OP are all the tutorials mate, i recommend to you the "Drag&Drop" method.
[Galaxy S II General] Yat_Fung:
Thx XD
[Galaxy S II General] shadowblade330:
you don't need to use apktool if you are just replacing png files. Use winrar on 7zip to extract the files in the framework-res.apk

And if you do need to use apktool to change xml files, you are not suppose to sign the framework-res.apk what u do is after ur apk is compiled open up the compiled apk and make a copy original apk example: framework-res.apk in ur case. Delete the resources.arsc in the original and replace with the resources.arsc from the compiled apk.
[Galaxy S II General] ssettor:
thanx...next step..try to change systemui :)

[Galaxy S II General] Yat_Fung:
Is it drag and drop method can do all the stuff ?
[Galaxy S II General] LegendZenify:
Drag and drop method cannot do everything, but it works for the png files.

You will need to use apktool decompile/recompile if you intend to edit xml files in an apk.

And jar files require baksmali/smali.

In a nutshell, drag and drop method (like using 7-zip) is for changing pngs in an apk file, and it is pretty easy :p

Thank you very much on this mod. Keep up the good work!

[Optimus One, P500, V General] br0adband:
I've got an LG Optimus T (T-Mobile Optimus One) that's fully bricked and I can't find anyone in the area to assist saving this device. I contacted several of the cell phone ripoff shops here in town and they all say they "know a guy that can do it but doesn't work for us" but they won't put me in direct contact with this so-called genius and I'm stuck for a solution.

Also... I was kinda hoping someone might be able to help for no charge - I honestly don't have the cash to save this phone but I can't afford another one either. If I had the cash I'd just get another phone, duh, but I'm between a rock and a hard place so, figured I'd ask and see what happens. I know people expect hard cash for most everything these days, but I could use a break and it'll be good Karma back on you if you can help.

It's the only Android phone I have and I'd love to get it functional once more.

Mods: I couldn't think of any other place to ask the question so, if this is off-limits or going against any rules (that I'm not presently aware of) feel free to delete it outright instead of just locking it.

Contact me by PM if you're able to help, and my Wife and I appreciate any assistance possible.

[HTC One X] Arcadia310:
Hey all.

I've been an AT&T Hox owner since day one and I've really enjoyed this device. Battery life is insanely good, consistently getting over 24 hours usage and 5 hours on screen time. I am uprooted and on the stock rom.

I've been thinking about getting the int Hox because it seems to be getting a lot of updates and has a lot of developer support. HTC and AT&T aren't saying anything about the customs issue which is undoubtedly affecting sales. Rumors even have it that AT&T may stop selling the phone altogether. If that's true then I pretty much have a dead phone, especially since this variant is NOT the One XL int model.

I am not willing to give up the amazing battery life at the cost of benchmark scores. My phone is a tool and I need it to last a long time. What are typical battery stats of the int Hox out of the box? I also don't want to root and flash all kinds of roms until I get good battery life. Thanks for the help.
[HTC One X] Samsuck:
There are plenty of threads regarding battery life. I'll be getting my International ONE X by Friday, I'll give you stats then. I'll be using it on Red Pocket (AT&T MVNO)
[HTC One X] BenPope:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1579392
[HTC One X] gunnyman:
I'm doing the same. I should have ordered the international One X in the first place.
[HTC One X] Arcadia310:
I'm not willing to give up the good battery life though. On the int Hox it seems to vary greatly from device to device. But even on HSPA+ its not as good as the LTE model.
[HTC One X] lamenramen:
The international One X would not have LTE if used on AT&T, right?

And it would have significantly worse battery life b/c it uses Tegra 3?

Would the custom ROMs available on the international One X make the battery life equivalent to the at&t model which uses the S4?
[HTC One X] gunnyman:
No on the LTE, but I have no idea when LTE is coming here anyway

Battery life is important, but I am not away from chargers long enough to worry about it.

I like the 32 GB of storage vs 16 and the unlocked bootloader and the development that is in place here.
[HTC One X] Stokie2012:
I'm the other way around, I had the Tegra3 HOX 2 weeks ago because I didn't want to wait anymore, but I was waiting for the S4 version to come
[HTC One X] Z51:
I have what you're going to get. battery life is awesome, and everything is good. I just dont like the 2GB data cap on redpocket, but will be switching to straight talk unlimited everything for $45. dont go with redpocket, go with straight talk
[HTC One X] wayner65:
I've had my HOX international for a couple weeks but didn't stay stock long enough to tell you how your battery life would be. On ARHD 6.0.0 with faux123 002b3 kernel, I am typically seeing 15-18 hours with around 2.5hrs screen time, 2-3hrs playing MP3, 15 min fetch email on 3 accounts, 100 text, 20 min talk, and a little browsing. Meets my needs just fine and the 26gb available vs 9gb on the HOXL really makes the HOX the more prudent device to own. It's just going to get better as software updates and development continues.
[HTC One X] bveditz:
The only negatives for the International version are the battery life and no LTE. For me, I don't care about the LTE, and hopefully the rom dev's can do some improvements to the battery life (especially when using the camera).

The advantages of the International version are the 32gb, the speed and it's not limited by US carriers.

However, honestly I don't think either is that much better to switch from one to the other. There are positives and negatives of both and the negatives can circumvented other ways (power packs, cloud storage, portable wifi storage (whatever that thing is called), etc.).

I do have a great idea for the power problem... make a holster that has a usb input outside with the pushpin connectors (whatever they're called) inside. You plug a power pack into the holster and put it in your pocket... then every time you holster it, it'll charge the phone. Another option would be a slightly bigger holster that has its own power pack. You'd have to do some slightly tricky curve around the bottom for the pushpins because you wouldn't want the phone screen facing out, but it looks doable.
[HTC One X] unleashed12:
Wow im in the same boat as you guys pretty much lol, i just ordered the international version because i was tired of the almost no dev support on the phone (one xl), plus the 16gb storage with only like 8gb usable was getting to me ...

im a bit nervous for battery life thats it, because the one xl did have amazing battery life. best ive ever seen on a phone and the reports on this tegra 3 seem conflicting.

oh well, hoping for the best!
[HTC One X] wayner65:
You can always carry a 10000mah external power pack for $50.

You can't add 16gb or turn a dual-core into a quad-core.
[HTC One X] greyhulk:
I had the AT&T HOX and was pretty unhappy with it. The SMS bug was annoying and there were a few other things.

Since picking up the International version, I have been much happier. I don't know what it is, but it just seems better. As to battery life: I have been pleasantly surprised. My experience is that the Int version does better when idling. So, all that time it's in your pocket, it's using no juice. That's kind of nice. It means when you pull it out of your pocket, there are no surprises. It pretty much has as much juice as it had when you put it away.

With a few hours of screen time, I'm still getting around 14 hours off the charger.
[HTC One X] Z51:
My battery life is awesome. I get a full day with good usage on my part.
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
Straight talk throttles at 2GB. Good luck getting "unlimited".
[HTC One X] bveditz:
It depends on what you're running. I ran it a day with really no apps on stock and the battery seemed great. After moving to a custom rom and installing all the apps, not so much. I run a number of apps that do polling or transferring of data, which I assume is why there are always a big discrepancy in battery reports. For instance, i run touchdown which is constantly polling my work email (and I get a lot of work email), dropbox which syncs my pictures, an IM client or two (depending on what i'm doing at the time work/etc), etc. Of course, I could not run those apps and get better battery life, but then, I could also go back to using a blackberry if I want to do nothing with my phone. :) From what I see on the forums, this phone does seem to do better with media and 'on demand' functionality, I think its just people who run a lot of background processes that experience the battery issue. Don't get me wrong, it's not an issue with this phone in particular, but rather battery technology. I've just changed my habits from carrying a couple extra batteries to a portable battery charger. Though, the batteries were a little easier to deal with, but whatever. :)
[HTC One X] Z51:
I honestly don't use the web that much. At work I'm on WiFi and also at home. Only place my data gets used is my gfs house, and even then I'm too busy to use the phone because of sexy Time purposes lol

I'd rather be throttled then cutoff like I would be with red pocket
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] crandallbk:
I recently bought the p6800 - amazing device! I loaded sk806's firmware, which is excellent! Ever since setting up my email accounts for my corporate exchange (2010) and hotmail, any time I try to pull down HTML formatted emails, even with "Load more details" or refreshing the email list, I get a "Connection error" for both my hotmail account and exchange account. I do get the emails, just no HTML content.

I have tried setting my mail to pull down all of each email message, rather than a part of the message, deleted and recreated my accounts various times, cleared the email data, tried only one account, etc, and no success. Once or twice (out of hundreds of attempts), I have been able to get the HTML, but those couple of times are not repeatable. I am thinking there is a problem with the exchange services from Samsung, as both accounts use these services. The same settings on my other tablet/phone work fine.

Any ideas or a replacement email.apk? Thanks all.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] crandallbk:
Sorry, my above was probably confusing:

Is anyone having problems downloading emails from exchange servers in html format using the Samsung email client? This gives me "Connection error", even though the emails come down in text format. Other mail clients like touchdown or enhanced mail work, but I like some of the features of the Samsung client.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] mugenkid:
im in the same boat here

my other email accounts seems to have the same problem with the email client
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] werich:
I had the same problem - at first my two mail accounts (one pop3, one imap) were running fine and after about 3 weeks I always had a general connection error. After a longer research I found the solution in one forum:

There's a bug in the Samsung client, that when in airplane mode with wlan enabled this connection error occurs. and really - what I had changed was inserting a SIM card which was disabled. With 3G enabled the mail-client gets server connection, also over wlan. Stupid!

werich
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] crandallbk:
Wow! That looks like it may be it. Thanks. I took it out of airplane mode and no go, but when I added a sim card, the error was gone. It appeared to be a bug in the client, but now I know how to get around it. Time to get a cheap sim.

Thanks Werich!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] werich:
You don't need a SIM card, just avoid the airplane mode (I takes some minutes or a restart to take effect). But as this mode uses alot of battery, even without SIM, this bug makes the build in Mail app practically useless for me. So I'm hoping for ICS...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] crandallbk:
I found that. Once it started working, even when I removed the sim card, it continued to work. I agree, for battery sake since I dont have a sim currently, I would rather leave it in airplane mode. At least there is a workaround. Hopefully we will get ICS soon. Thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] montais:
I found a way to enable Airplane mode without connection error. I use app "Airplane mode modifier". I select "not disable WIFI" in Airplane mode. After that I can enable Airplane mode without this email issue.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] werich:
Just for your information: the ICS update fixes that issue too.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] lucid:
And on HoneyComb, I could enable airplane mode, then click wifi to turn it on.

Anyway Im on ICS now and it's the sweetest ice cream of all.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] amroman:
In Honeycomb i used to have "connection error " when using WIFI , but on 3G there was no connection error

but since ICS was released , I never got connection error on WIFI or 3G :D

hi all

Can any one help me the way I can update my g-sensor driver and is it possible to change the driver for G-Sensor in working rom ?

Or if there is Any roms without problems becaus the original ICS rom is sucks

thanks in advance
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smyrfcheto:
If you have problems with games go to setting -> display and there you should change the g-sensor option. there are two options the first one is the default coordinate system the other one is for games. you must choose for games and you won`t have any problems with games
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smyrfcheto:
And for our tablet there are no custom roms or kernels. It has just the stock one. So you must use it :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] m85a:
thank u my friend < the problem not in Games only , it happened in the Home Screen and any other Screens , i think the driver for G-sensor is missing , do u have any idea if i can change the driver ? and how ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smyrfcheto:
Try to change the rom. I don't know to have fixes for our g sensor or other drivers
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jess95:
Just flashed this rom, so far so good. Only thing but, G-Sensor not working with both kernels in the archive, so i flashed kernel from Finless Bob's ICS ROM for Next8P12 and it works again, except now i can't use the OC setting with this kernel. Is there a way i could swap the g-sensor drivers around and still use the kernel bundled with this rom?

Thanx :)

[Focus General] Vintage144:
its awefully hard to compare unless you've actually run different roms , I ran the original Sammy Rainbow DFT rom and im now running the Voluptuary rom , I dont notice a whole lot of differences , this rom says it full unlock , however unless you plan on using the fuctions available it wont really mean anything, I would suggest asking the DFT team or Voluptuary about there roms as to what the difference , look at there OP and it will usually tell you the significant differences between them , these windows roms are nothing compared to Android roms so if you think its like that think again!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Is.it. just. Me but typing on.the stock keyboard suck? The space.key is too small.so when I hit the space bar. It leaves.a period.after every word. :D. Also what the hell are all those arrow keys for? I've gotten used to not needing a physical keyboard but with this phone I've taken a step back.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brennen.exe:
The arrows are for navigating the cursor within a block of text. For example, you need to correct the spelling of an email address, website url, etc and you don't want to backspace the entire word. With ICS it's a lot easier to tap and drag to where you want the cursor, but the arrow keys are there as an alternative. They were helpful back when the OG EVO released; now, not so much. As for the periods, are you sure you aren't double-tapping the space bar? Double-tapping on many keyboards will add the period for you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] typhoonikan:
I love HTC keyboards. So responsive and just the right size. And actually, as I'm typing right now on xda app, I don't see the arrow keys though I know they are there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbhorner:
I specifically sought out, and installed, the stock ICS keyboard to use on this handset. I hated the HTC keyboard, and none of the others I have really endeared me either. ICS's keyboard has improved on prior versions immensely.
