Depending on your definition of "hurt"... soft bricks can still hurt sometimes. :p

It will not work as is on JB for a few reasons... it needs to be re-done.

If you follow the guide you could make it for JB... someone got a pure deodexed stock ROM from the update yet (or at least the SystemUI and services.jar)?

Can you please do this for gsm razr to? I would love to have it
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zhalx:
Thanx for great guide of adding toggles!

I did it!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ZKK007:
I've been trying to port this over to a JB rom I'm working on. Initially it would work using your guide, but the gps and data toggle would not work. So I tired making two edits to android manifest. I added these with the advice of a friend over at droidrzr.com who managed to get it working :

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE" />

Now it should work, but whenever I reboot I get no statusbar and no wallpaper. Similar to when SysUI Force closes, but the force close message never appears so I assume it's still running. I've asked my friend if he has had this happen before, but I thought I might also ask here too.

Any idea?

EDIT: The 1% mod works great as the guide reads!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spc_hicks09:
Was wondering as well if you could update this to the JB build for the XT912. Here is a link to a completely deodexed completely stock ROM (credit to hashcode0f) http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/spyder/motoblur-98.72.8-XT912.zip

I'm getting ready to do the 1% battery but as stated already, the tutorial for the toggles needs updated. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Just want a walkthrough so I can learn to do this myself.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BADDINOROX99:
also I'm pretty sure the services.jar has to be updated I bricked my RAZR on jelly bean and when I unbricked I completely lost root....be careful and good luck
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spc_hicks09:
Actually the services.jar was just fine. 1% battery worked flawlessly and was extremely easy. The issue that needs to be updated on this thread though is the pulldown toggles. 2 of the toggles will NOT work after following this guide. So I just skipped it and used Power Toggles in my ROM and added the 1% battery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BADDINOROX99:
I must have missed something then I usually install files manually... maybe I forgot to fix the permission on the odex file
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spc_hicks09:
I just took the classes.dex out of the service.jar and put it in my services.jar.

Would this work for this update? I don't wanna try then have it screw up my phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spc_hicks09:
The 1% battery will work. Not the toggles.

SystemUI for Verizon android 4.1.2

If somebody can fix it. I have done SystemUI with Drop Toggles for android 4.1.2 based on Verizon leak. The problem GPS and mobile data give me FC when trying turn on or off it in quick panel. May be something need add in status_bar_expanded.xml. This is deodexed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spc_hicks09:
I can't remember what needs to be added because I did mine around when the JB build first dropped but you need to add 2 lines of code in the androidpolicy.jar

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
Me too same problem, how can i solve it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
To solve GPS and mobile data FC problem and correctly port the toggle on JB I have to add this two lines:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE" />

in AnxroidManifest.xml but then when I recompile SystemUI.apk with editet file I corrupt original signature and SystemUI.apk do not work in the rom, any help?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fabiobatera:
What is this 2 lines and smali to be added.

Thank you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
On JB you have to add this two lines in AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE" />

but I'm unable to do a working apk, I have problem with signature for edited AndroiManifest.xml.

I also asked for help in this thread.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fabiobatera:
I'm also with this same issue, outside the mine has these two lines:

<uses-permission android:name="com.android.email.permission.READ_ATTACHMENT" />

<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gm.permission.READ_GMAIL" />

:crying:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
I also asked for help in this thread.

It can be done because an user in this thread done it but i'm unable to do;There is sure a signature problem.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fabiobatera:
My problem is that I think for most CDMA roms present here at XDA, this conflicts with something in the GSM file here.

So far I have not found too that conflict or error.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
There are no differences to add toggles between CDMA and GSM.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fabiobatera:
But when I compare the systemui.apk, there is a huge difference in smali and manifest.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
I ported on ICS for GSM without problem, i compared a lot of CDMA with my GSM and there are not differences.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fabiobatera:
CDMA in a folder contains XML RES, thing in Brazil OTA version contains no friend.

Out other smalis internally that are different, I say this because I am 5 days in this battle!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fabiobatera:
Added 6 toggles and removed the GPS and data, as they cause FC, ​​until the moment is working perfect with 6 toggles, Airplane Mode, Rotate, Brightness, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Sound.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
Great idea, how did you do?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fabiobatera:
In quickpanel_quick_settings Layout folder, removed the GPS and DATA lines and rearranged the order of the toggles then went on QuickPanel smali folder and deleted the smalis working with the same, recompiled and replace the modified files inside the original apk using 7zip .

[HTC Rezound] Volkaru:
Hello, quick question. Has anyone found a DSP Manager that has a working Virtual Room setting on an ICS ROM?

I've tried multiple apps and supposed working-on-ICS DSP managers a couple months ago, but none of them worked properly. Then I had to return the phone. (Atm this one is still stock locked, and I'm thinking I'll wait for OTA before I unlock again.)

Ones before would either crash at the EQ setting screen, or Virtual room wouldn't work.

I absolutely love how my EQ + Beats + Virtual room - Stage sounds. And I listen to music constantly, so this is really the only thing keeping me from jumping to ICS. Any info would be appreciated, thanks!

i did try that one, but seems like the widget is not the one causing the lag, because the lag will happens in every screen

I believe is not the applications, because it just slow response after im using the google chrome but after that it works fine again, but still even though is only for a short time i am little bit concern about what's going on with my phones hehe

I know many people have the FlyGrip, but I recently got my hands on a product called the Bunker Ring from TheHiShop. It definitely does not look as pretty and sleek as the FlyGrip, but it is $10 cheaper and does similar functions for people looking to spend a little less for similar functionality.

I have been using it with my Galaxy S III's case and I did a video review, which you can watch below.

One line in the article is scary. A nightmare revisited perhaps? That "WP8 will be supported for at least the next 18 months."

That is what a year and half? MS is known to release an update anyways not before a couple of years. So does that mean that the support of the "flagship" WP8 devices terminate even before the devices are launched?

LUMIA 900 is perhaps an example that we should be careful??

Your views?

Hmm.... Only Connor MacLeod, the Highlander is immortal. The lifetime of the rest stuff (including me, you and Windows) - is limited. Are you going to live forever? :)
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
You currently don't get any guarantees for longer support on any mobile platform. Apple does support it's devices longer but it is not guaranteed in any way and the iPad 1 is left out of iOS 6 although it is not that old.

The 18 months was also a plan Google announced on the IO conference last year which many manufacturers failed to live up to.

My guess (according to several interviews with Microsoft employees) is that they will not do a change to the system that goes so deep again anytime soon (where would they move as they now switched to the Desktop OSs underpinnings?). It still is a given that at some point in the future your device again won't be getting updates.

The question you are posing is if those 18 months could mean that if I buy a WP8 in 16 months it might get left behind 2 months later. Those 18 months which are guaranteed are based on the age of the device (when it was first released). A Lumia 900 kind of situation should therefore not happen again. That your device might no longer receive updates before your contract is up might happen, given that you might a) not buy the device the day it comes to market and b) the contract is regularly 6 months longer than the time frame for updates.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbobeckyj:
Where is the source with the original quote? A quick Google gives me the quote: "Microsoft will support Windows Phone 8 devices [with updates] for at least 18 months" (My emphasis).

http://www.technobuffalo.com/compan...-will-offer-ota-updates-18-months-of-support/
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafu6:
I can kind of see what your saying but then you could argue (especially Google) that not many devices actually get support for 18 months, So if you go and buy a new WP in Oct/Nov then it will be supported for 18 months. Unlike new Android phones, Microsoft is not fragmentated (not including WP7.8). This means ALL first gen WP8 will be supprted. New Android phones come out on a weekly basis and is NEVER guranteed to get the latest Android update (unless its a Nexus).

You could argue both ways...

I believe Microsoft will be looking after 1st Gen WP8 early adoptors, but with things changing in the world of tech who knows?

I will probably get a new WP8 and a WinRT tablet to work alongside my Xbox and my Laptop... that is an ecosystem that not even Apple can rival!
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circleofomega:
Hmmm..when its android I don't fear much...for obvious reason that I can root it and flash the latest OS. Not so much so with WP8. For it, I only and only have to rely on MS.

So if they decide tomorrow that my device doesn't have the necessary hardware (deja vu?), I'm screwed...

That, was my fear...

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
The chances of that happening are pretty slim.

WP8 got a huge update over WP7 (i do not use the term huge lightly), which made the incompatibility stuff a problem.

Unless some huge leap in technology happens in the nest 18 months or so, we won't see this kind of problem again. It is highly likely that current wp8 will run wp9.

I for one don't think hardware will advance at such quick rate in the coming years.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbobeckyj:
It's not an argument though is it. It's simply the facts.

Google doesn't support Devices for a variety of reasons - Not least of which is that it's freeware OS, and there are several hundred devices with new ones each week.

MS have said that they will support devices for 18 months, and this is achievable, there will be maybe 50 of them by the time 18 months is up, and the manufacturer (and so in the end user) pays for the OS.

These type of comments mystify me. Of the following announced WP8 features which ones were you expecting to get on your current phone?

Multi-core processor support

1280x768 and 1280x720 screens

removable MicroSD cards

NFC wireless sharing
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lumpaywk:
This is about indervidual devices not Windows Phone 8 itself! They are saying that from when a phone comes out you will have at least 18 months support (far more than anyone else promises) this does not mean that WP8 will be chopped up like 7! They switched kernel that's why you cant upgrade and they did that to be sure they have last ability.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circleofomega:
U miss the point.

18 months is fine if it was Android. But WP8? From their track record, 18 months qualifies for one upgrade.

But not like other devices where even first gen phones enjoy the very last update...(how they perform is all together another argument).

Sent from my DROID RaZr.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
Given that Microsoft is not going to change the Kernel again (where too - they are now running the Desktop OS on mobile devices) at least the community here will likely be able to provide those updates. Given that the original Developer phones like the LG panther have been able to receive at least OS updates using the CAB-Sender-Method this might be an option going forward.

But if it's ok for you to have the new version of the OS running in a kinda working way, with kinda weird problems and kinda annoying glitches it might be an option to go with Android. I'm running CM9.1 on my SGS2 which works without problems but it's one of their stable releases and they recently decided to ditch support for older devices with the Snapdragon S1 (which is also found in the 1st Gen WP7 devices). There are still ports around for those devices but with those it is like I mentioned above (glitches, problems, etc.)

In the end smartphones age quickly and at some point it is not really viable keeping them updated even though more than 18 months are definitely doable (but as was mentioned: no one guarantees you that it is a good experience).
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbobeckyj:
If your were responding to me, then I miss the point again. I literally don't understand most of what you've said or the meaning - sorry.

Do Android phones get official updates 18 months after release? Not even all of the new release Android phones have the latest OS version.

What does "But WP8? From their track record, 18 months qualifies for one upgrade." mean? WP7 was released 2 years before WP8 will be released and all current WP7 phones will get WP7.8 which itself is not being released until after WP8 and may not be until next year, so that's well past 18 months. Also MS have stated that WP7 was a stop gap until WP8 was done, so a major OS change is not going to happen.

"But not like other devices where even first gen phones enjoy the very last update" Which phones and OS are you talking about? Apple don't have the latest OS on their oldest Iphones, and new Android phones don't all have the latest OS either. You've really confused me...

Are you complaining that MS will only guarantee to support all devices for only 18 months, while lauding the other OS makers who do less) because XDevs try to do it for them?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circleofomega:
Wasn't exactly talking to u...but since u replied:

Yes..no other OS supports older devices. Be it iOS or Android. BUT, having said that, it is as easy as turning your computer on when it comes to updating those devices..

It is..er..unethical to an extent...but who cares...I have the latest OS.

BUT, but...when it comes to WP, there is no way out. The fate of THAT device hangs in thin air. If MS decides to pull the plug, game's over.

So even though iPhones and Androids of the world see an (unofficial) update. Not so much so a WP device....

I am really confused by this post. What you are saying is that because MS make PC's and you can update a PC they should update ll there phones forever even though nobody else does? You claim its ok for android to do it because we can hack the updates on? How would that be diff from doing it to wp??? Name me one WP that is not on the latest OS version! There isn't one.

How is MS supporting your device for its life span a bad thing esp when Android comes out outdated most of the time yet that's fine. How is having a guarantee of updates leaving you out in the air????

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lumpaywk:
How long do you keep your phone? I heard of 2 year contracts but who actually keeps it for that time without buying out? Even if so you get guarantee of 18 months not a maximum of 18months most likely you will get longer but they have to cover themselves. Also as you said before MS is more prone to big updates hence a big one each year with a smaller in the middle meaning that you should get your 18 month update that should last until the 2 years is up before the next is out anyway. I think that covers most life of phones as it covers most contract lenghs and is far beyond what the competition is doing.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbobeckyj:
WP have unofficial custom roms. The only reason that IOS and Android have more is because more people are making them, and you can't blame MS for that, especially while they guarantee to provide official updates.
