lately I have been able to make my status bar get 100% transparency, but now i have a new problem on my lww :p

as you can see under the status bar there is a dark area when in a lockscreen,

is there any way i can get the dark area out of my lockscreen?? i mean just add the brightness so they both can match, not removing the transparency.

i'm using stock ICS 404
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pitchblack5691:
transparancy??

can you tell me how you changed the transparency of the notification bar? :)

it's great :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
You'll have to mod the lockscreen. Which app are you using for it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lasnoches:

How do I change the font on my phone. I tried custom android font and font installer and when I try to change the font it says system ui stopped responding and reboots and doesn't change. Some one please help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] capcanuck:
Try using rom toolbox, works great
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Menu/settings/display/font style

Download Fontimizer from the Play Store to download more fonts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EddiePR:
reinstall the rom using the procedure. or try to flash darkside wipe cache

You can flash the font pack with about 100 of them in the Infamous thread in development section. Works with darkside too. :good:

It's a system app, you can't install it like a normal apk. You need to put it in /system/app (use root explorer or adb) and then set its permissions to rw-r--r--. Reboot when you're done and it should work.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] betolley:
If I use stock or liberty roms and everything is fine. I was traveling....if I switch towers both 3g and 4 g die. Now i am not traveling and it just randomly drops in ics. Sometimes reboot brings it back, some times airplane mode does....usually nothing does. I give up and go back to liberty....it runs stable. I tried forcing 3g in ics but it makes no difference. I tried the bionic tcp ap but it did not help. I upgraded the safe partition and radio from .902 to .905 no difference.Any one have any ideas?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nobreak1970:
All of our ICS roms do that.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandogg:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Official ICS is leaked now. It is no longer an issue. Custom ROMs based on the leak should be coming out soon.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jasonwsc:
Hi all,

I've done a quick search around the Q&A and there are not many threads about the fastest rom for ICS. (Yeah don't be pissed with me for asking.) I need a rom that is fast and good for gaming. I tried KA20.1 and stock, but frankly i'm not too happy with the performance. Should I go for AOKP, and if so, are there on-screen buttons on the rom because I don't like it:) Thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] TheF3nix:
Yea AOKP is a good choice :D Practically most of HD games can run on our phone (: AOKP has on-screen buttons, but there is always an option in rom control to enable/disable them. You can try I-scream too. Good choice for custom stock rom.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Jass5991:
Use this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1666171&highlight=multitouch&page=3

It's an AOSP ROM by PolishBlood (group I think)

All other ICS ROMs I've tried had multi-touch issues. This is the only ROM without any of those AND you can play Max Payne Mobile on Max Settings with everything on at SMOOTH FPS!

Seriously dude. Use it. I am loving it.

FYI ...I found many people suffering from same issue without answer..help me..help them ..thx
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Try different USB ports; use a mainboard (powered) port on the PC/laptop itself, and don't use a hub, not even if it's powered. Also try uninstalling Kies, rebooting, re-downloading it, reinstalling it & rebooting again. You need the drivers, might be a problem around those.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
go to some friends with Windows 7 with network access, plug in your phone and see if it recognised by Windows and Windows attempt to install drivers.

If you think i was harsh,then i apologize,but seriously,those who posted above gave you good suggestions,such as the one which uses the back camera to video-call the other guy.But you were not satisfied with what you got.There are things that are in-our-hands and those which are not.A developer simply cannot make video calling work for a device with NO front camera at all,the best solution is to use the back-camera.

I just got the barely there case and put it on. How do I get it off? I tried grabbing one side with my nails but can already see it digging into the plastic. How does everyone else take it off?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
use 2 hands, one hand on the left, one hand on the right, then use your nails to pull both tops sides off..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
Haha now that someone else has posted something about this, I'm not as embarassed to admit that I can't get my barely-there off.

Maybe you can try prying it open a hair with your nail and then wedging a credit card in the gap. Then just run it up the side to dislodge the entire thing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
got it off with no problem
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ethantarheels123:
Would you mind sharing as to how you did it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ddubs:
To get the case off, I start by working on the bottom right portion of the case. I hold it in a landscape orientation with the front facing camera on the left. Left hand holds the top left and my right hand sort of cradles the right side of the phone. (Top left/right side via your own point of view, aka left hand holds top right of actual phone while right hand holds bottom of the phone)

From that position, I slowly nudge the edge of the case off the top right with my two thumbs and using my middle and fourth fingers to push off the phone's speakers through the holes as leverage.

Once you've gotten that corner edge off, it's a simple matter of pushing along the edge until the whole side is off and the phone is free.

Hope that helps!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
start from the top, pull both side outwards, so both top sides are off, then put a finger between the case so it doesnt snap back on then work on a bottom side, then walla
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] coolren:
hold it facing out camera at the top facing you. grip it pressing the middle with your thumb while pulling back on the ends. you should be able to pop it off then

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
There was a Swype beta posted tonight. Has anyone else used it? What do you think of it? Beta or stable?

I am using it now and I like it allot it's a big step forward for Swype. And I'll stick to the beta.

What other keyboard do you use?

pics go in this order: stable, beta, keyboard selection

EDIT: there are something that people arent liking or dont fully understand how to do it..... the two im mainly talking about are "adding a word to the user dictionary" and the new "backspacing"

user dictionary: after typing the word ( it will be in a grey box) tap the word till it turns orange (the word in the box (mainly the letters)) then then long press the orange word

backspacing: right after you swype a word it will have a white line under it, when and only when (the white line is there) if you hit the backspace button then it erases the word. any other time it is like the stable. WARINING: when you hold the backspace button down it goes ALOT faster then in the stable. it is something you just have to get used to, and it can be learned.... i understand it now and like it better then in the stable.

if there is anything else you think i should add or would like me to explain then please PM me and i'll get on it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
Does it look good? The orange is terrible looking imo.

i like the beta
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nannuq:
Been using the beta most of today and it's great. It's been awhile since I used it, preferring slide it, but it now acts more like that keyboard and seems to have a stronger prediction system. I does much better with spacing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Thanks for the info! Looks really nice. Are there themes for it as well?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fergusson:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coldcaffeine:
I had just been using the stock one in the latest FF## builds. Thanks for the post about the beta. I went out and grabbed it. I think it's pretty sweet. I agree with the other opinions that prediction seems much better!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nannuq:
In addition to my previous post the Dragon voice input is amazing on the new Swype. I have a southern drawl and I would estimate it's getting somewhere in the range of 95 to 98% correct every time. This post was recorded with the voice input 100% and I only had to correct one word and that was Swype and that was only because it was trying to spell it as swipe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adam.kelly2:
I wish Swype was a better keyboard. It's awesome when Swyping but when strait typing, SwiftKey is king.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dulanic:
Did they take away the ability to add to the dictionary? I can't just click to add like I could before.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
its still there just more complex.....

after typing the word ( it will be in a grey box) tap the word till it turns orange then then long press the orange word
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sycobob:
I just tried the new version and hated it. It's screwing up simple stuff like trying to swipe a capital 'I'. They also changed the backspace behavior and it's just awful. If you hold backspace, it used to go one word at a time, start slow and getting faster, but now sometimes it does a whole word, sometimes it goes letter by letter. And when it goes letter by letter, it's way to fast to be able to stop where you want.

I love Swype, but I'll be sticking with the version in Calks ICS ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MultiLockOn:
I'm getting the same experience. It can't get a lot of the simpler words, like I, he, it, on, etc. And the backspacing is annoying.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Becoming:
I'm finding it the perfect balance. It does just as well as ever when swiping and better than before when tap typing as far as predictions go.

I'm totally digging it. Swype and FlexT9 keyboard had a baby and it's terrific.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayharper08:
Just wanted to poke my head in here and say good job not posting the apk. ;) Well done!

---Jay--- From the Nexus
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scoobmd:
I think Swype is heading in the right direction but also hate the behavior of the backspace now.

I like the idea of word prediction.

Also, did anyone notice that it also incorporates handwriting character recognition as well? I think it's kinda gimicky since it seems much slower. I gave that up with my old Palm Pilot Vx... I hope this doesn't distract them from improving the core of Swype.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sohailz:
Hi,

I couldn't figure out a way to insert a new line or find a 'Enter' key in new swype beta. Anyone????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
It should be at the very bottom right corner. Mine has it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
Only thing I don't like is that it automatically adds words without user confirmation when tapping.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
no settings to turn that off?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EllGuapo:
Thanks for letting us know, I am liking this new beta much better than the lousy Swype built into the ICS leaks (and now OTA) of stock. For two thumb typing I don't think it'll be able to replace my beloved Gingerbread keyboard, as far as speed goes. But I'm going to give it a day or two.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahjah440:
I have always wanted an Android gaming handheld. At first I was looking at the generic chinese handhelds to play on, but I decided against it (too many problems,poor quality).Then I remembered about the Xperia Play.

I want to play N64, GBA, SNES (for sure). And the occasional 3D android game eg. Frisbee Forever, Cut the Rope, Fruit Ninja, GTA III. The device I currently have is the Epic 4G Touch rooted and overclocked. But touchscreen emulators are terrible.

Is going from the Galaxy SII to the Xperia Play terrible? I will just be using the phone for the gaming functions, and as a internet device (wifi only). I am hoping although the Play is single core, it will be as smooth as my Galaxy. Thank you!!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridder215215:
It won't be as smooth as a dual core device, but you can run emulators up to ps1 (almost) flawlessly. For me, GTA III was a tiny bit laggy, but still playable.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3dawg:
As far as the u.i goes, you won't get GalaxySII smoothness or responsiveness, however you wont find a better emulation machine than the xperia play :)

Especially for very old systems like nes,snes, gameboy colour, sega, neogeo. There is an emulator for everything and they all run flawlessly on the play with the button (ps1 can be a bit flaky).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahjah440:
Thanks for your reply guys. PS1 emulation is something I'm not that interested in so that is not a worry. I have one more question though.

How do the analog sticks feel? I will be going to the store later today or in the week to try them out myself, but I just was wondering how you guys liked them?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Levhin:
If you want to play games, and have a cellphone in the same device, for sure, buy the Xperia Play. I came from a Optimus 2X, that isnt a Galaxy SII at all, but its a powerfull dual core too, and i dont regret. Xperia Play is a single core, but its the most powerfull one that I've have already seen, and runs smoothly the most of HD games. How its already saiyd in a above post, GTA III really get a bit of lag, but not much. Can be sure, the physical gamepad make a big diference. About the analogical touchpad, isnt so good to handle as a true analogical stick, but its better than nothing.

If you get an Xperia Play, I hardly recomend you to root and install DroidSail Super App2SD or a similar, because the 200mb of internal memory are ridiculous for a gaming device, and this app allows you to pass all the apps to sd card.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
I wanted to play emulators too and i bought a chinese android console, and then i just read that the xperia play was better in emus and better quality and i sold the chinese console and bought an CDMA Xperia play to use as a console.

Then i loved it so much i sold my blackberry and my CDMA xperia play and bought a GSM xperia play and i now have all i want in my pocket. (phone, camera, divxplayer, console, mp3 player, tablet).

i think you wont regret it, if you only want it as a portable device, without cell phone recomend a r800a since its cheaper than the r800i

i use firmware 2.3.4 58, great batery life, last all day even if i msg a lot and play like 2 hours in the day. (on 2g, no wifi, no bluetooth or gps)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinchi:
My answer may be biased since I don't like having to rub touch devices too long, but the analog touchpad is pretty frustrating at times. You basically tilt your thumbs in the direction you want them to go. Maybe you can adapt to it if you're used to using touchscreen analog in Android games, but for me they're frustrating.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
No, you should not get the Play. The phone is obsolete already, there are no future updates expected from Sony, some of the best devs are leaving for other phones, official ICS was denied to us and the community is quickly dwindling.

If you want a great gaming device, get a handheld designed for that purpose. If you want an awesome phone, better take a look at what is being released in the near future, and stay away from Sony. By all means, don't waste your money on a phone that is already a year and a half old.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridder215215:
You have a point there, even though Sony promised some more GB updates.

I heard the PSP 3000 has the ability to run emulators too, so you might want to look into that.
