Ok I have an old Samsung Exclaim that is red, and my wife uses it when her phone is broken but now it has a problem, we cant get it to take a charge anymore, so I tried my trusty old Blackberry cable I keep around and plugged it into the computer to see if it'd charge, what I got was a flashing battery a red led light flashing and a message that charging has been disabled. anybody have any ideas or even seen this before?

Is the phone finally dead? or is there a way to fix it with a simple software replacement, like my epic ?

Red lense...? Green lense...? How did you flash it? What kernel...? Do you have access to the bootmenu... If not, do you have access to stock recovery...? Come on, dude... Be more specific, don't make us guess.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akopop:
sorry :D

it's green lense, i flash it over custom recovery. I really don't know which kernel there is, i didn´t flash any new kernel, so i guess there is stock kernel. I can't get to the bootmenu, but i have acces to stock recovery.

EDIT: I realized, that there was flashed MIUI rom downloaded from official site (before trying update to ICS). I don't know which kernel this rom uses, so maybe there was gingerbread kernel. Before root and everithing, official Motorola's rom was froyo.

EDIT2:

I think that problem is here:

(quoted from this topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216982)

question is how and which SBF should i install
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auris 1.6 vvt-i:
As far as I saw, this is a Froyo based build, so you should be fine with the Froyo kernel you have from your stock ROM...

Go to custom recovery and wipe data/cache. If you are still unable to boot afterwards, you might need to flash a fixed or a full sbf.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @non4:
Hahaha never flash someone else's phone, especially parents!! Because when this happens you are SCREWED :P

Above info is indeed correct, I have bricked mine to a similar state by using a badly coded app, I just flashed a full froyo 2.2.2 sbf as my custom recovery was broken, reinstalled recovery with the 2ndinit app and restored my backup, never had a problem since

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akopop:
could you recomend me wich fixed SBF should i flash? and am i right, that i should use RSD lite to do it?

i know, these are really stupid question, but i am not 100% sure what to do and i can make things right ...

the best will be, if you write step by step what exactly is needed

thank you very much :)

[Blade General] K1LLER HORNET:
Hi,

I've got an issue with my Orange SanFrancisco/ZTE Blade where the proximity sensor doesn't work.

I have tried recalibrating it from within Rom Settings in Swedish Snow.

It says that the Proximity Sensor has 'failed!', but sometimes passes when I recalibrate & says 'failed!' again when I check again.

Anyway, I'm wondering if it's possible to return the phone to the retailer (Argos) for a refund/credit/replacement?.

I am in the UK & purchased the phone around 18mths ago.

The phone has been rooted & has a custom rom on it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

[Blade General] K1LLER HORNET:
Yes, I've tried the latest Cyanogen Mod 7 (stable)

Im surprised no one really complained about this.. I only seen a couple of people complaining

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Are you sure the APN settings are correct?

By the way, the AOKP releases (not milestones) are considered nightlies, not betas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavin-phelan:
Yes they are it happens a few its not the msg not sending its the text is not entering its nothing to do apns.

B39 the B stands for beta
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Incorrect. The B in say B39 means build, not beta. All AOKP releases so far except the Milestones are considered and treated as nightly builds.

Check this link, and scroll down a bit: http://aokp.co/index.php/releases/_/build-38-r24

Can we please drop that now and get back on topic?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Regarding your issue: I have had it before, but I cannot remember what ROM I ran and how I fixed the issue, I'm afraid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] derekwilkinson:
The only way to fix it is to disable the lock screen. I've tried sending messages to some of the developers but apparently they just don't care about the issue. But with all the badass features of AOKP I deal with the issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
Happens on AOKP, doesn't happen on CM9 or Gummy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavin-phelan:
Same its fine that the only reason im on cm9
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
This happens when you let the phone lock while you are in a specific message thread. Just don't do this and you won't have the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavin-phelan:
But it still should be fixed dont you agree
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I'm not saying it shouldn't, but that is the workaround.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fire & ice:
I'm pretty sure this issue has been addressed several times. A simple google search would have pulled up thread after thread of the same thing. Seems to be more than just on AOKP. I for one ran into this problem running stock. Seems to be a case by case situation. Most likely an android bug that has yet to be squashed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavin-phelan:
I constantly change roms and aokp is the only rom in which ive this problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I had it in CM9.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
I vouch for this, only time it happens to me. And every issue should be fixed, but unless you're willing to donate your time to fix it, you shouldn't complain about something so trivial?

I've recently gotten my Galaxy Note, and have rooted it while keeping it on GB.

I have been looking and searching for the Galaxy S3 Touchwiz UX Port for the Note, but cannot find it anywhere, and when I do, it leads me to the KingDroid ROM, but I don't want to flash a ROM, I just want the launcher.

This thread just saved me $15... I was planning on getting one of these to charge from a high powered usb port on my pc and also an easy way to transfer files from PC to Atrix.... I guess I'll just go with the standard dock for now.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjwatmyself:
Multimedia dock is for charging and audio out only nd by design does not permit a usb connection to a PC. Think of it like the car dock with the audio output on the dock not the cable. The HD dock, supports usb devices and HDMI, but that is the opposite of what you are looking for. In short, the only way to mount the storage to a PC is with a usb or third party usb dock.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josedaniel:

Download the .apk, when it says 'Download complete' in the notification tray click on it and it should install (or browse to it manually in a file explorer).

[General Questions and Answers] TFDRA:
Ahh, okay -.- , thanks for your time pal :)
[General Questions and Answers] rpmccormick:
Current favorites are:

1) GO Launcher

Tried it once a long time ago, I forget specifically what I didn't like about it.

2) Zeam

Haven't tried it. It is the newest popular one. Supposed to be super lean and fast.

3) LauncherPro

I like 5-columns of icons on my desktop. LP does this, but it won't stretch the widgets to match (in the free version), so that's a deal breaker for me.

4) ADW

Still my favorite (once properly configured). I like the "Black Glass" theme (with custom icons turned off). I also like a scrolling App Drawer (with scroll position memory) vs paging.

I have heard many people say they prefer something over ADW for this feature or that feature, but other then custom widgets that I don't use, those features are always in ADW, they just never played with the settings.

My widgets are: Google Search, Power Control, News&Weather, and FaceBook. The first 3 are safe (low memory, no lag), and the last one I just have to have or I'll never look at FaceBook at all. I don't trust any other widgets as they always seem to slow down my phone.
[HTC One X] Readler:
G'Day community,

I'm currently stuck with the question "One X or One XL?". From what I've read, the Tegra 3 from the One X has more raw power than the S4 in the One XL. But, that's the thing what annoys me - the software isn't perfectly optimized yet. It lags here and there, heat problems, sudden reboots, low battery life - those kind of things.

So, will all those things be fixed? (yeah, there are custom ROMs, but I'm talking official).

I'm sorry for my mistakes, I'm no native speaker :)
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Any answer you get will be pure speculation. Have a look at the 2.05.401.2 leaked ROM for the only concrete thing we know. Better performance, better battery life than previous ROMs... Just gotta wait for the OTA.
[HTC One X] godutch:
if you can get the 32 GB version of the xl, I would get that, I wouldn't expect quad core optimisation anytime soon and the s4 is much more powerful per core than the tegra.

/res/drawable-mdpi/default-wallpaper.png

You may have it in different screen resolutions.
[General Questions and Answers] aqnd:
Are you talking about the homescreen background?

You could always just do it the 'old fashioned' way..

Open paint (or similar)

Create a canvas the size of your phone resolution, paint all black. Save as a file and add to your phone. Change background using the menus and pick your black file.

Would probably take less time than pulling, inserting, and pushing framework-res. And you'd have the file on your sd card to re-apply should you do any updates (you'd need to modify framework-res again, unless the rom update didn't require changes and you could flash the old framework-res)

Yeah I think it's in here somewhere. Now I've just got to find the image. Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Oh! Then what you need is in /system/framework/framework-res.apk,

but the part you want is in /res/values/styles.xml

That has all the default theme, "Theme".

The theme for settings inherits off that, maybe "Theme.Dialog"

All of that references specific style elements and colors in /res/values/colors.xml

Decompile framework-res.apk using apktool then open the decompiled folder.

[General Questions and Answers] Vertron:
I've also found the xml in;

res/drawable/activated_background_holo_dark.xml

Will changing the line <item state_activated="true" to <item state_activated="false" disable the png file, forcing it to change to all black?
[General Questions and Answers] Faiz Malkani:
Now that u know where it is, take a black PNG and add it to the archive of framework-res so that u wont have to recompile and sign the apk. Just make sure u get the correct folder.

And don't touch the XML. Just replace the png
[General Questions and Answers] Vertron:
How do I add it to the archive of framework-res.apk? I assume you have to copy the apk to a PC and add it by winzip or something? I'm using root explorer to view it atm.

If you've not done anything with the phone (as in rooting, flashing ect.)
