[HTC Rezound] ProFragger:
Hi Guys,

I hope everyone is well. As the title says, can I request any of the generous themers here to make me a flashable RED Gingerbread style battery icon with the numbered percentage for the ViperROM? I will deeply appreciate your help! Thank you!
[HTC Rezound] ljbaumer:
If you give me a link to a theme/rom with the icons which you would like I will make a port for you.
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
heres what i did to the battery icon.(screenshot). it was very tidious work which i enjoyed doing :) if you like, let me know and i'll share it with you.

Note: this is for viper rom only i believe.
[HTC Rezound] ProFragger:
Thank you ljbaumer! I couldn't find a ROM, theme that has what I am looking for, but essentially it's really the stock Gingerbread battery icon, except Red with % on it.

This link has something similar in Post # 6 if you can see it?

[HTC Rezound] who MIKE D:
So your asking for the wrong battery icon... that icon is stock ICS not Gingerbread

Edit: You made it sound like you wanted the stock Gingerbread HTC battery icon not AOSP
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
something like this?..?
[HTC Rezound] ProFragger:
Yeah man, sorry about that. I meant the AOSP, ICS icon... I thought the GB battery icon was the same though? My bad.

Yep, that looks about right, but only if somehow we could add % to it? And charge animation?

Thanks for all the responses, guys!
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
Alright.. it looks like imma have to start from scratch. i could do it dont get me wrong, but its gonna take some time. and time i DO have lol.
[HTC Rezound] ProFragger:
Sorry about the rework, bud, but appreciate all your help :D!
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
its cool bro...heres what ive done so far (screenshot).. currently in the process of renaming em to "stat_sys_battery_1.png n stat_sys_battery_2.png" and so forth. then im gonna edit each one to look the way it should via its percentage and charge.. then i'll push them into SystemUI.apk (hopefully overwriting the files with the same name) then create a flashable zip to share with you.
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
what you think so far?
[HTC Rezound] Rentaghost:
Good
[HTC Rezound] ProFragger:
Looks great, bud, thanks for your hard work...

The numbers look kinda distorted, unless that will be different on the phone?

Sorry I didn't share this earlier, but do you think porting this might make your life and work easy?

[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
lol that sure would make it a hell of alot quicker :) thanks.. i'll get right on it. my download is a lil slow right now sooo yeahhh 14 MB downloaded 21mins left.
[HTC Rezound] ProFragger:
LOL! Sorry, bud, just noticed that :P!

While you're at it, can you port the whole status bar :D?
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
shouldn't be too difficult. Probably yes.. ima need to test it on my phone first before i share the final version though.

(just waitin for it to finish downloading lol)
[HTC Rezound] ProFragger:
Awesome bud!

Please remember that I think for the icons to stick, you have to make it a flashable "VR Theme" Installation or something?

Also, how difficult would it be to have a "Back to Stock" zip as well? Unless you're gonna make it an apk to install like an app?

Thanks again for all your hard work!
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
to go back to stock i think you would just need to flash the stock SystemUI.apk that the rom came with.

VRtheme huh? i'll look into that.. i mean i know how to make a flashable zip but i'll look into what your'e talkin bout.

i can probably share with you the stock SystemUI.apk just incase you decide you want to revert back.
[HTC Rezound] ProFragger:
You're the man! Thanks bro!
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
Flash attached file in recovery. Stock viper rom battery icon.
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
the 3G is ready but i still gotta work on the battery icon.

but in the mean time you can Flash this in recovery.(Attached)
[HTC Rezound] ProFragger:
Little confused brother...

The attached Zip... was that supposed to give me the stock Viper Battery icon, OR the ICS icon you're working on for me?

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
thee attached file in post21 is what im working on for you(still needs red battery icon) and in post20 is the stock green battery icon. :)
[HTC Rezound] ProFragger:
Cool, thanks man! Looking forward to your battery port :D!
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:

Kanging always makes life easier.
[HTC Rezound] ProFragger:
Really appreciate all your help, bro. It looks great.

Say, any chance we can both take a moment and Thank ZHP for his brilliant original work on the icons? He's a really cool guy, I am sure he would not have had an issue using his work, if we had requested permission?

My personal thanks to both funnyangrykid and zhp pilot!

My apologies, zhp pilot. I am sure FAK did not mean any disrespect. Thank you for your very hard work!
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
this theme really belongs to zhp pilot ( i am not taking any credit for creating this theme) i am simply helping a fellow XDA member to get some of zhp pilot's awesome theme onto the viper rom. but i am not putting it up in thread saying "Hey download my theme for Viper rom" because it is not my theme. Full Credit goes to zhp plot.
[HTC Rezound] ProFragger:
Excellent post, FAK!

Hey, while you're in there fine tuning this theme... any chance you can make them annoying Reticle (crosshair icon) Red, as well :P?

It sticks like like a sore thumb. If you do end up doing it, remember there's two versions of it, one, with the GPS of and one with it on...

Again, really appreciate the work that ZHP Pilot did, along with you stepping up to hear an XDA Member's request out!
[HTC Rezound] zhp pilot:
Thanks. I wish I would have known you were already working on this. I wouldn't of spent the time I did today making one. At any rate, I have the theme engine apk versions of (IC)ICS and (IC)ICS Red Alert that I will be posting. You are more than welcome to post your version in that thread since the battery is different.
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
i got you. Red GPS Update in this Flashable zip.

(Preview)
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
well we all know that you come out with some pretty sick themes. and well.. thank you. i appreciate your open mindedness. and i know you are probably like me and just ask in return to give credit where credit is due :) you cool zhp pilot... oh and who says you still cant post that theme you were working for frogger? lol im sure many people would enjoy it.
[HTC Rezound] ProFragger:
You're awesome man! As is ZHP :)!

This is being incredibly difficult, but any idea why I'm seeing a single white pixel on my "GPS Off" icon and it's time in your screenshots and in the GPS On icons... See attached...

I moved the icon around to, it's not a dead pixel on my phone either...

Thanks again!
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
ooo lol that'd be my fault, i was going through em in photoshop making them transparent from a white background and i guess i wasn't thorough enough.. easy fix though, your right, its not a dead pixel.. as a matter of fact, i see it on MY screen as well.(currently fixing)
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
this attached file should get rid of that annoying white pixel :)

Flash in Recovery.

and if you run into any more issues, Let me know so i can try and fix em.

btw. how did you change your clock color as well? hmmmm im curious to know
[HTC Rezound] zhp pilot:
With the tweaks app.

Sent from somewhere using something on some kind of phone.
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
thanks Pilot.
[HTC Rezound] ProFragger:
That worked like a charm man, thank you so much again :D!

And yes, as ZHP said, changed the clock color via the Tweaks in Viper ROM...

Thank you again for all your hard work!
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
you're very welcome and thanks.. i aspire to be a great themer like ZHP Pilot is. (all ive done is ports so far) but at least i am getting the feel for where the files are located and which do what. i also aspire to be an Android Developer.. they say most started out by themeing.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iSilens:
Hello folks.

Running 673.94.324.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03 (4.0.4). Apparently rooted, but can't install/swap /system apps or edit /system files, even through the terminal.

Any idea what could be done?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nicoleef:
Verify your root install with SuperSU or SuperUser, check updates, also check that the app that you want to do that is on the Allow List of SU.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jeff_roey:
Since you're messing with ROMs and terminal commands you're probably beyond this but depending on which file explorer you're using, you might have to give it permission to mount the system as RW. In ES File Explorer, it's a check box in settings. In Root Explorer, I think it's a button on the main screen.

My phone shows modified status after getting a replacement....

I did make quite a fuss over it at the center and they told me that the set given to me as a replacement was not a refurbished and was new....

Also I opened the seal of the set myself and it was packed just like new.....

Nowhere on the set was it stamped refurbished or repaired etc.......

Now the key point is when I got my phone without checking device status in settings I proceeded to samsung care person to do the update that samsung has released in india to solve the battery issue....

Now the update was done by samsung care personnel only.........

AND he flashed the phone using Odin........

Now I did not see the status before he flashed and after flashing I saw the status as modified..... My question is what are the chances that set given to me is a refurbished or old...

I live in india and have international s3 version....

What are the chances that my phones flash counter would have increased by the update the samsung person did via Odin so it showing modified status.....

How can I find out myself without rooting if my phone is refurbished or not......

AND samsung has sworn by its side that the set they sent me was not a refurbished one it came straight from the factory.....

I did open the seal myself....

One more thing I checked in the samsung's database with my product code and imei etc and they showed me that of my imei and product code they had no prior registrations to PROOVE it to me rat Mt set was not a refurbished should I believe it........

One more thing I tried to ask for a replacement yet again as I have already got it once

And they refused saying that my handset is not a refurbished one and they would not replace it....

They are giving me warranty please tell me what are the chances samsung is tricking me.... PLease respond as i need to further my mail to rhem u need further details please ask I will tell u....

But please help me in the matter

......

Can flashing official firmware with Odin lead to a modified status by official firmware done by samsung service centre people only.....

My device is not rooted as of now because when I install titanium backup pro it tells me so.....

But it is showing modified status....

Also what are the chances that samsung sent me a refurbished phone and how to make sure m it is a new piece......

Also is there any way to check the flash counter or reconditioning status of my device without rooting....

As I am a total noob to android this is my first Android phone do not want to root it so early....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
Did you perform factory reset after he flashed with ODIN? If no then try it.

To check counter please go to download mode. Power off the phone. Press volume down + home + Power
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invinciblecc:
Yes Sir I di a factory reset after flashing it stil says modified

Also can u please inform me what to do once I reach download mode and is there a possibility of harming my handset by going to download mode and please also inform me how to exit download mode and where and how in download mode can I see the flash counter value..... Sorry for NOOB questions sirbi know nothing about android his is my first st android
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
Strange if you look at the observations here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1788132

To go to download mode you need to use key combo I mentioned above. There is no downside of going into download mode. You will see the binary count etc there.To get out just long press the power button
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invinciblecc:
Yes sir I did go to the download mode a greenish warning type appeared telling me custom firmware cab harm the set if u still want to install press volume up key otherwise to boot normally press volume down key.....

I pressed the volume up key and it showed me binary counter no

Firmware status etc official

.....

What does it mean...

AND besides it was also written that downloading do not turn off the target and I tried pressing the power key long but it did not go away from the the download mode so I took out my battery and re inserted it as I got afraid..... Sir have I done something wrong or have I harmed my set by re inserting the battery also please inform me to get this downloading screen after the volume up button normal and how to exit the download mode.... Also what does binary counter Mo and official firmware mean does this mean my phone has never been rooted modded etc...... Please explain me these think....

Besides I know it is odd even samsung is not able to believe e but they have promised me warranty anyway..... Please explain sir sorry for my noob questions.......
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invinciblecc:
Pls reply
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invinciblecc:
Sorry sir I did not understand please explain in simple words.... Not showing counter as rom is custom what does this men does this mean that my device has been rooted before... Or does this mean that a custom rom has been put before..... It exactly says...

Product name gt19300

Custom binary downloads no....

Device status custom

Present binary samsung official

Please sir please explain it to me because if something is wrong I can still get a replacement once again if I argue enough....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
If I were you, the unit looks new and you are given warranty, then just flash official firmware and get the status back to normal.

But then again if I were you, I would root it straight away. Which I did, on the first hour I get it.

Keep the official Rom handy just in case.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invinciblecc:
Sorry for being so stupid but maybe something is obvious to u both which I just don't get so please can u tell me what does this information mean......

Does it mean my device is new and has never been flashed before or does it mean that my device is old has been rooted before and then an official rom has been flashed to make me believe that the device is new.....

AND please explain in noob terms I don't know anything about android please explain as executives are calling me already to know what I would prefer to get and if I make a fuss I will get a replacement the question is is it even worth the fuss or not please help sirs.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
If your device said modified or its custom rom counter was above 0 . Then a custom rom or kernel or some form of non Samsung firmware has been flashed on the device .

Yes your device is not new as it has been used before .

You have been sold a used phone .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Can't tell.

Even my phone that I have used for 1 month.

I am using custom rom.

But I can flash official rom and reset my binary counter.

And if I give it to Samsung service centre, they can't tell if it is new or not (assuming my condition is 100% like new).

If I can do that, so can Samsung to you.

If you want, make a fuss and get exchange.

If not, keep it, but keep warranty card handy.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
Just wanted to let you guys know the stickers they stick on the boxes to seal them are not tamper-proof stickers. you can easily peel them off and stick them back on again.

I have been to a shop here in Hong Kong and they opened the S3 right in front of me, the used a knife cut the sticker on one end, BUT there where cut marks on the box behind the sticker on the other end (which the guy did not cut). This obviously shows its been opened end re-sealed. I another box when they opened the box of a new one I saw that there was another sticker inside which can be used to re-seal the box. this can seen in some unboxing videos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYebiTyLll0&feature=player_detailpage#t=71s

This may vary with each market, but the basically its not hard for someone to re-seal a box and claim that its new.

Status MODIFIED after a normal OTA

I believe i know the answer. I also had a NEW phone which worked fine for a couple of months. the "STATUS" was always normal. But after a recent and normal OTA process, the STATUS became MODIFIED and i could no longer initiate OTA. Luckily i have 2 samsung S3's and one samsung NOTE II for testing.

I was using a 64gb SANDISK ULTRA micro SD card (i had about 5 gig of data on that card). if i removed that 64gb card and then restarted the phone, the status was NORMAL and all was well. Reinserted the card and the MODIFIED problem came back. so i FORMATTED the 64mb card. then i restarted and the status was NORMAL. Then i added data to the card and restarted the phone. WHOOPS, again the status changed to MODIFIED.

NEXT TEST. i switched to a 32gb card from samsung. (its the only 32gb card i had). I formatted the 32gb card. STATUS was NORMAL. i then added data to the card and restarted the phone. The status was NORMAL.

Long story short, it appears that the primary issue is the micro SD card. In my opinion it is specific to the 64gb cards. I know that there were issues with 4.0 android operating sytems and 64gb cards and 4.1 solved that issue. but perhaps there is some leftover issues that have not been resolved.

Bottom line, change your SD card to 32mb and status should be normal. In the very worst case (in the event my solution does not work for you) you an remove the back cover of the phone and then remove the SD card. then restart the phone without the SD card. the status will return to NORMAL. then slip the SD card back in without restarting the phone. Your SD card will mount and function normally AND your status will still be NORMAL allowing you to do a normal OTA if you wish to do so.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyrylTheWolf:
I know this is a bit late but...

The reason your phone is still showing "MODIFIED" is because your BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED. I'm surprised that no one who responded thought of this. The answer was right in front of everyone this whole time.

You must re-lock your bootloader, reset your flash counter and de-root using a stock ROM image.

Egads... Where were the brains when this was so obvious?
