Dumb question but what do you mean by install your framework-res first? Are you referring to the framework-res.apk off the phone, and if so how do you install it?

The reason I ask is I went through this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1422116 and can decompile the framework-res.apk, make my changes, recompile, but when I go to put it on the phone and reboot, the phone just hangs.. Clearly I am doing something wrong, just not sure where.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NunHugger:
I think by installing he is referring to running the if command. "Apktool.bat if framework-res.apk" I always if the fwres, system hi, and twfwres. It sets you up to compile and decompile with dependencies. Once you do it, you won't need to do again until you move to a different firmware.

Also, when working with Apktool, you will want to make sure you move the meta-info folder and android.manifest from the original to the newly created apk. I use 7zip for that. That might be your issue of you missed that step.

Here is a link to my video tutorial that explains my Apktool methodology.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pinetreehater:
I am having trouble with distorted or garbled phone calls. I have wiped and reflashed the latest Mean rom. I've also flashed the latest radio and PRI, as well as updating profile and PRL. I cannot get this problem to go away. Some times it is clear, but mostly it is garbled.

Anyone got any ideas? I thought about an APN problem, but I haven't messed with APN'S since my old g1 days and I am not even sure the evo lte uses them (or even where to find them) .

Pine
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
The last radios and pri update was buggy. That's why you have distorted phone calls, it has nothing to do with Rom. Hopefully , sprint will fix it soon.

Sent from my lair.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pinetreehater:
Hmm...its very garbled. Basically unusable. Although I haven't heard about bugs in the update, it doesn't seem right. If everyone had distortion like I am experiencing there would be a revolt.

Thing is, at times it is clear. I flashed an old nandroid and it was gone. Then went back to mean rom and it was back. Wiped and reinstalled mean rom and it went away for a bit, but now is back.

Even stranger, calls to my Google voicemail are perfectly clear. Turn around and call some one and it is garbled.

May call sprint and see if it is a configuration issue. Pissing me off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pinetreehater:
And it's clear again. WTF??!!

Wonder if these darn tower upgrades are responsible.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michael.stollaire:
The last poster read my mind, as I experienced that here in LA. As soon as Sprint started upgrading the towers in our area, the voice garbling began, and after much complaining to customer service, Sprint sent me a free AIRAVE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gmarkiek:
I'm having the same problem plus sometimes when I make calls even to landlines they say I sound garbled. I hang up call back now they are garbled. It all happened after radio and firmware update. Why does it work for some and not others?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lpast:
Also having this issue. Using Venom 1.0
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pinetreehater:
Well, I could never get it to go away. I.reverted to stock and s -on to prepare a return. It is crystal clear now.....hmmm.....I may try to re-root and see if the distortion comes back.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gmarkiek:
I was trying not to go back to s-on. But if I do that will get mess anything up that I have in my phone that requires s-off?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gmarkiek:
Ok I think I have fixed it. You must dial ##72786#. It will ask for a password you can get it by getting msl reader from the play store. Reset and your good to go! No more garbled voice. It basically resets Prl.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michael291986:
I am having this problem too. Started ever since the latest OTA update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gmarkiek:
I spoke too soon. The garbled sounds are back.

:( . I think I'm gonna have to unroot and start over.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tnEVo:
This phone is GARBAGE!

I can tell you this has nothing to do with rooting, roms or the like. I have a completely stock EVO Lte that has never been rooted or even plugged into a computer! My phone is completely stock and I am having the same problem with my phone. If I make a call and the call quality sounds good to me, it will sound bad to the other person. If I make a call and it sounds distorted (garbled), it sounds fine to the other caller.

I am getting completely fed up with this phone. I called sprint SEVERAL times to get a replacement because of the wifi/gps problems, and I insisted that I did not want a refurb phone. The rep said it would be a new phone (after many HOURS of phone time with Sprint CS) What they sent me was a refurb, and a POS at that! Scratches, loose back cover, the red around the camera flaking off! I am not going to accept it and will be returning it tomorrow at the Sprint store! I am going to call them while at the store so they can "hear" my newest complaint!

I tried to swap this phone within the first 14 days, and the Sprint people insisted that it was just them working on the towers, so I waited. Then after that 14 days window was passed, all the CS reps said was "if you would have returned it within the first 14 days..." Makes me sooooooo freakin mad!!!

If your reading this, and have the same issues, it is your phone. PERIOD. Call Sprint or go to a retail store and complain, complain, complain!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gtg252b:
It's the Network

My wife and I have both been having this issue a lot recently. Me on my E4LTE, and her on the Galaxy SII. I really think it's the network, not the 4G. We started having the issue right after Sprint started their HD Voice upgrades. Sometimes calls are perfectly clear, sometimes their slightly garbled, and sometimes they're completely broken up. I'be been through the ringer with Sprint's Tech support with no luck at all. I think I'm going to switch to Verizon once our contract is up (which is a shame because I was very happy with sprint and the EVO up until this problem).

Is quadrant optimized for quad core tablets? I keep seeing quadrant scores that show phones such as the galaxy s2 and any snapdragon s4 phone. Is our processor just not as fast as the others? Or is tegra 3 not optimized? I know that tegra is great for gaming, but is it as fast as some of the other processors on the market? Thanks

Yeah. So would it be safe to overclock to the full 1.5 ghz? Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evonc:
Quadrant scores aren't really consistent as I've had one test give me 5200 and then a second run giving me 4400 without changing anything. Antutu seems to be more consistent with scores and since the benchmark runs longer, it gives a more accurate result.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncvikingx97:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evonc:
Yeah you should see improvement in applications with overclocks. Here is my highest in quadrant so far with _motley 1.0.11 @ 1.7ghz. The version is unstable as a lot of people have reported issues. However, 1.0.10 is pretty good. There are also other kernels in the dev section that are overclocked and should benefit you from the stock kernel.

Since the carriers were split up and the most posts in the original thread came from the AT&T themers, I think we should make that the main thread.

[All Carriers]Touch Wiz Themeing Questions

Please post in the thread linked above so we can keep all the info in one thread.

Thanks,

Shane

Since themeing Samsung's TouchWiz UI is not quite as simple as AOSP, and sometimes even device specific, I thought it would be nice to have thread for the themers here to help each other, post tips and things like that so we can all learn and get some killer themes going on this thing.

Also, (if this gets becomes a sticky) we can keep the themeing question threads to a minimum.

For those of you that don't know me, I've been themeing Android for about a year and a half now. I started on the Epic 4G then moved over to the Nexus S 4G. I'm always willing to help others at time permits.

Happy Themeing!

i have a version of systemui i modified for att

I have custom battery icons (not 1% as i used 7zip instead of a full rebuild)

i was able to change the battery icons,

loudness/slilent icon, airplane icon, wifi icons, alarm icon etc.

but for some reason the signal icon changes are not being applied.. i tried clearing cache, and dalvek cache.. still no go..

CAnnot figure out where it is getting the old icons from.. looked in framework-res as well but as far as i can tell they are not in there..

I have changed these sucessfully before in ics on my sgs ii..

anyone have any ideas?

thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bizdady:
Is the rom deodexed?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shane6374:
Since Gingerbread those have been called out from the systemui. If you are running an odexed rom, there's your problem. Many of the png's are loaded in the odex file and cannot be changed just by editing the apk.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lgkahn:
nope with the 7zip method (read up on it) you dont need that.. you just swap .png right in the .apk(s)

it is the stock rom\

and i succesfully did the same thing in the sgs ii systeui (and those icons are in there since i can see them).. however, maybe you are correct in that there are another copy in the .odex.. but it would be strange..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bizdady:
It's more than likely that it's loading files from the odex. Can try deleting that but you might lose status bar lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lgkahn:
thanks cannot delete the .odex (systemui or framework etc) on a stock rom.. the phone wont boot. (i think) although i have a cwm backup.

Hey Shane, I need some help, this image will be the death of me :(

Ive stumbled on this image on the et4g and now I really cant find where the image is, and what the name may be. I always have a problem with the image name/location of the puldown notification background in the image below, its solid black and I need to make it transparent. Ive looked in drawable-xhdpi in systemUI, with no luck. THANKS MAN.

Oh +1 for this to be a sticky since this will help all carriers.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shane6374:
Wow, I had never looked at the files yet on this phone. I've been trying to work on some AOSP themes with my Nexus S. I got the framework-res and twframework-res to decompile, but can't get the systemui to decompile. If you can give me some help on getting the systemui to decompile, I'll look for it.

Edit: Nevermind, got it.

Edit 2: I have not tried this, but taking an "educated guess" I would look at this in the values/drawables.xml:

<item type="drawable" name="notification_header_bg">#ff000000</item>

If you want to change that to an image can change that to:

<item type="drawable" name="notification_header_bg">@drawable/pulldown_bg</item>

then make an image named pulldown_bg and put it in the drawable-xhdpi folder.

Or (This is what make's me think this is right)

Look at the drawable/status_bar_expanded.xml and find:

android:background="@drawable/notification_header_bg"

and change that to:

android:background="@drawable/pulldown_bg"

making the image as above.

If it's not this then the other possibility I found was "notification_tracking_bg" which the color is called for in the drawables.xml and is linked in the status_bar_tracking.xml

Let me know if either works.

that was going to be my next guess. sorry, didn't see your log there. anyway, that's not the best of ways to do it, though. i can get it to compile without doing all of that. you just need the right combination of apktool.jar files.
