No, it's actually this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mx.livewallpaper.clock

The live wallpaper part is actually the clock, but you can set it to have no background, a solid color background, or a specific image from your device. Up until now, it used the Gallery app to browse the images and you could choose whatever, but I turned on the device and the home screen was black (clock was still there). I tried to reset it, but it wouldn't work. Then I tried to go to Gallery and found it could no longer browse my local device. That's when I figured out something was wrong.

I had a similar problem yesterday after flashing the latest nightly MX video player couldn't see me files which were there, I checked with file explorer. I finally got it to work by removing the tick from the box that said :

Respect.nomedia . I also saw something similar on one of the other forums rootzwiki or cyanogenmod but can't remember which.

For anyone who is unaware, Rom Manager's latest update has cause some issue with the nomedia file on the /sdcard where pictures are inaccessible through your native gallery application client. This happened to me earlier.

Solution, though temporary until the ClockworkMod Team releases a fix with the new update:

Uninstall the update for Rom Manager in your 'manage apps' in settings and/or install Quickpic from Google Play.

(or, better yet-)

Update from ClockworkMod website:

You didn't say anything about reflashing the ROM itself. Sometimes that's the only way I can get problems to sort out. FDR, format system, cache, install update, gapps, boot once, go back to cwr and fix permissions.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexydes:
Ruh roh, looks like that could be possible. I'm pretty sure I set Rom Manager to allow auto-update...guess that's getting turned off...

Thanks for the update! I'll try this when I get home.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexydes:
Ok, an update to what I did to fix it.

First, I applied the update to Rom Manager from Apex_Strider's post (thanks again!). I think this was the root of the problem, for sure. However, after applying it, Gallery still wouldn't read local images. I restarted the tablet and tried checking again, but still no good. I then re-installed the update APK one more time, and then ran Rom Manager and chose the "Fix Permissions" option. I went back in to Gallery, and once again it didn't look like it worked...but I just let it sit there for about 15-20 seconds, and finally the images on the device started to populate. Went back and re-configured the live wallpaper to use the local image files, and we're off to the races.

Thanks everyone for the ideas, and Apex_Strider for ultimately pointing me to the solution!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apex:
Yeah, forgot to mention it'll take some time (depending on how many images you had stored) for everything to re-populate. Glad you got things back in order! :D

Not true, Wifi modules are not built into the stock kernel.

The modules for stock roms are part of the rom file system.

Maybe to use a custom kernel on locked bootloader, he needs a kexec kernel.. Check out DoomLord's kernel for locked bootloader here. Its mentioned that wifi modules for x10 are prebuilt in kernel. As for stock, i have no idea.. Well u can use DoomKernel coz its simply the best for stock roms.

Hi!

I figureout how to set transparent background color in CM10 :)

1. Decompile SystemUI.apk (I'm using apktool 1.4.9)

2. Go to: %apktool_folder%\SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\phone

3. Open in text editor file: PhoneStatusBar$FastColorDrawable.smali

4. replace whole line:

iget v0, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar$FastColorDrawable;->mColor:I

with

const v0, 0x6033b5e5

6033b5e5 => aarrggbb (a=alpha, r=red, g=green, b=blue) => this is semi-transparent ICS-blue color :)

After this method draw looks like:

.method public draw(Landroid/graphics/Canvas;)V
.locals 2
.parameter "canvas"

.prologue
.line 2632
const v0, 0x6033b5e5

sget-object v1, Landroid/graphics/PorterDuff$Mode;->SRC:Landroid/graphics/PorterDuff$Mode;

invoke-virtual {p1, v0, v1}, Landroid/graphics/Canvas;->drawColor(ILandroid/graphics/PorterDuff$Mode;)V

.line 2633
return-void
.end method

4a. For 'HighEndGfx' devices (like HTC One X) need to make something more:

4aa. Open file: %apktool_folder%\SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\phone\PhoneStatusBar.smali

4ac. Replace tree lines of code ( do not copy numbers!!):

1. invoke-static {v0}, Landroid/app/ActivityManager;->isHighEndGfx(Landroid/view/Display;)Z
2.
3. move-result v0

wiht one line of code ( do not copy numbers!!):

1. const v0, 0x0

4ad. Now fragment of method makeStatusBarView() looks like:

iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar;->mDisplay:Landroid/view/Display;

const v0, 0x0

if-nez v0, :cond_0

5. Open SystemUI.apk with WinRAR or 7zip.

6. Compile SystemUI folder and go to %apktool_folder%\SystemUI\build\apk

7. Copy only classes.dex to SystemUI.apk.

8. Move SystemUI.apk to /system/app in phone.

9. Reboot.

10. Set permissions to rw-r-r (644)

11. ... and be happy to have transparent notification drawer. :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to change toggles background you must decompile framework-res and see in colors.xml (res/values/colors.xml) which colors are described in this file.

Go to SystemUI decompiled folder ->open res/drawable/stat_power_background.xml with text editor -> change

<item android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@android:drawable/input_method_fullscreen_background" />

with

<item android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@android:color/black" />

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is 100% working in CM10, don't know what about others JB roms.

hello

thank you for your tutorial, I managed to have transparency, but I have a problem with the toggle who do transparent and are not very visible in your screen while the tutorial you can see the toggle with black background??

If you have an idea?

Thank you in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] reaper61616:
See first post :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SmallZG:
just a question

First, thank you for giving us such a good method. But there I have a question:

"If you want to change toggles background you must decompile framework-res and see in colors.xml (res/values/colors.xml) which colors are described in this file.

Go to SystemUI decompiled folder ->open res/drawable/stat_power_background.xml with text editor..."

You say to decompile framework-res, but modify parameter in SystemUI. That is what to make me confused.

sorry for my poor english!

PS:I dont find code like <item android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@android:drawable/input_method_fullscreen_background" /> in my stat_power_background.xml, this is mine:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<selector android:exitFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@android:drawable/notification_item_background_color_pressed" />

</selector>
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] reaper61616:
In your stat_power_background.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector android:exitFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@android:drawable/notification_item_background_color_pressed" />
</selector>

Add:

<item android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@android:color/[COLOR=red]<color from framework-res e.g. black -> @android:color/black>[/COLOR]" />

after:

<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@android:drawable/notification_item_background_color_pressed" />

Your stat_power_background.xml now will be like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector android:exitFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@android:drawable/notification_item_background_color_pressed" />
<item android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@android:color/[COLOR=red]<color from framework-res e.g. black -> @android:color/black>[/COLOR]" />
</selector>

Where red colored font place color described in framework-res/res/values/colors.xml, e.g. black, white, transparent, etc.

Here's the link to my original post with my framework and SystemUI attached, if it's needed to help figure things out. I would really appreciate any help on this, as there doesn't seem to be a lot of people out there willing to help with this.

[General Questions and Answers] kaus1108:
Updates for Android devices are always rolled by the gadget manufacturer, so every time Google introduces a new update we have to wait till the manufacturer of the device decides to roll it out, this obviously takes a lot of time and puts Android at a disadvantage against Apple and Microsoft.

For a Windows device irrespective of the manufacturer if Microsoft rolls out an update all can avail of that update through windows update. Android also being an open platform like Windows should be able to do the same.

If I have a software CD of Windows 7 I can install the software in any manufacturers PC and use it. I may just need to do some additional driver installation if required.

Why can't Android develop their platform to function in a similar manner so that once a new version of Android is released I can install it it any device and o fcourse put in the specific drivers to make it work if required.

With the approach of Microsoft looking very prominent now for both Smartphones and Tablets, this may just be a warning bell for Android, I hope they have their eyes and ears open.

Would be nice to know the views of others. As an Android user do you feel this would be a good step for Google?
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
The above is the key sentence in your post. The problem is that without the correct hardware drivers for your specific phone the OS may not be able to boot at all and will certainly have limited functionality - just look at the issues there are with trying to run leaded ICS / JB ROMs on phones that don't have an official version of the ROM available with the correct drivers yet.

The reason that Microsoft is able to push out a new OS and have it (mostly) work on any manufacturers PC, with any hardware, is that all the hardware manufacturers are given alpha/beta copies of Windows to test their hardware on and to allow them to build the drivers well in advance of the OS being released by the guys in Redmond.

Google don't do that. They release the OS immediately they have hardware support and compatibility for their devices - and let everybody else deal with the aftermath :eek:
[General Questions and Answers] djbijo:

[General Questions and Answers] system.img:
XDA is there for providing the latest update.

My phone was supported by Samsung till Gingerbread. But I got jelly bean from XDA devs just after a week after the source code release.

But it does have some bugs which cannot be solved without Samsung's help. :rolleyes:

But if you wanted the fastest OEM updates, buy a Nexus.

But 50% of the people are normal users who do not care about updates and new android versions. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] kaus1108:
Thank you for the response and I do agree with what you say and the key to it is that there are certain things that Microsoft do and Google don't and how it is going to impact users in the future.

I remember when I moved from Windows Vista to Windows 7 all the Vista drivers were functioning allright after installing Windows 7 and I have also faced situations where I did not have certain drivers but the PC still functioned on generic drivers provided in the Windows software.

Don't you feel it would be much better if Google just released a Jelly Bean OS and left it to us to install it and I am sure that based on devices already in the market those drivers can always be included in the OS and each phone would pick its own based on its hardware. Only the new devices would need new ones which Google may not be able to provide. If this were true today I would be installing JB in my Galaxy S3 and not have to wait for Sammy.
