Hello :)

I bought my phone , and os is an asian version i checked with "fastboot getvar version-main" , and the version is 2.17.707.3 , for it i find RUU

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.17.707.3_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed.exe , but i need an European version stock version to install , is possible ?

Thank you A LOT for Helping , sorry if my post is repeating , i could not find a similar one
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Only if you unlock the bootloader or, if already have SuperCID or S-Off (unlikely).

Mike1986 has a completely stock 2.17.401 ROM in the dev section (not Android Revolution HD) which can be flashed if you are unlocked.
[HTC One X] mIRU.md:
Thank You

Thank you for help BenPopeI , my phone i unlocked , but I'm not sure if this it means that bootloader is unlocked , stock 2.17.401 ROM , this ROM is original stock , has no bugs ? and after this is possible to make updates ? and how to find it , i searched no results , maybe I'm not searching correctly , i need just a clean ROM , that has European languages , and no Asian keyboards , Thank you :) Sorry for my English
[HTC One X] BenPope:
The ROM I was referring to is this one.

You cannot use ruu method. Ruu must match your cid.

You can flash ROM but need to unlock bootloader first. Please read the sticky threads in development forum
[HTC One X] Byrkoet:
S-off, that's not even possible with a hox atm. Though why would some think it would happen?

And if it would be possible, how would we go about turning the security off?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I said "If already have S-Off". Some phones come that way (very few, hence why I said unlikely), and a handful have been converted, but it requires rare hardware and even more rare files.
[HTC One X] ste1164:
Unfortunately its not possible. Also if you use mikes rom check that its set up for OTA updates as I dont think it is. You would need to flash a new version when it came out.

Hey Guys.!

Lately I've been getting a lot of PM's regarding theming. So I'm starting this thread to answer your queries. Not only me but I'll try asking other Themers, who I know, to help me here if I get stuck with any question. Also as time passes I'll try including guides too.

I request you all to ask your queries here and not PM me regarding theming. This way I won't be repeating the same stuff to each and every person. This way everyone can benefit from the answers to the questions asked by others.

You can ask anything related to theming. And I'll try my best to answer them.

I'll add and update FAQ's as and when required.

I would like to thank the following users for contributing their knowledge in this thread:

:

Please search the thread before asking any query. Maybe it's already answered.

Don't spam the thread with questions not related to theming. I will report them immediately.

P.S.

: Before somebody posts that this thread is in the wrong section, I've already consulted with mf2112 about which section this thread should go.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
Links to Guides and Tools.

If you are thinking to start theming. Here are few things you'll require:

1. Apk Manager. (for decompiling, recompiling apks)

2. JDK. (To run apk manager).

Few other tools which I have come across which can be useful.

1. Tickle my Android. (For easy theming)

2. Quick ADB Pusher. (To push final modded apks quickly)

3. GIMP (Free image editor)

4. Saint's Color Editor (Changing colors in Android XML files made easy)

5. Windows Logcat Reader. (To get live Logcat with color codes(warning, error, etc.) )

After gathering all the required tools. Go through some guides already available on XDA or any other sites. I'll link few of them which I personally found useful. I'll keep adding and updating links here. If you have any useful link/guide to share, please post it. I'll add them here.

Guides:

1. TUTORIAL - decompiling/editing XML by itiskonrad

Things to note before starting theming:

1. If you are theming for stock, be sure to be deodexed first.

2. Read the HOW-TO of the tool before using the tool. (Don't ask here how to decompile, recompile etc.) (It's what to be done after decompiling that can be asked here)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
Here a tip.

It's better to replace framework files when the phone is not running. For example if you replace framework-res.apk while Android is running, your phone will automatically "reboot" and some of your settings will be lost after that (wallpapers, accounts etc...).

Rebooting in recovery could be a bit boring, so, here what I do:

adb root #needed the first time after a reboot and not needed with most of our custom kernels
adb remount #needed the first time after a reboot
adb shell stop #it will freeze the phone
adb push XXXX XXXX
adb shell start #it will re-start the phone.

This is faster than a reboot, but yet safe.

If you get a blackscreen only after adb shell start, it means that the phone was stopped while the screen was off. In this case, just wait. Normally the bootanimation is shown.

Sometimes the dalvik-cache is rebuilt, so it could take some time.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] amifiq:
Thanks for making this thread! :D

Ok, heres the situation.

I've downloaded Androman's Galaxy S2 theme for gb but the problem is, it is galaxy s2 Gingerbread theme. What I'm finding is galaxy S2 ics. Nobody ever did that before. When I search the internet, only aosp ics shown. So, I decided to make one to get the original Samsung ICS experience. To make as Galaxy SL got the official ICS on touchwiz4 like SGS2.

So, I downloaded the stock system UI & framework of ics SGS2 and try to combine it with Androman's SGS2 theme. Changed the battery & signal icon. But when seeing the result, I got disappointed. The Battery icon is too big compared to signal icon. When using stock gb battery, the battery went too small. It doesnt suit wifi icon and looks weird. After a whole day doing this, I lose hope.

I just need someone to guide me.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androman1507:
U can have ics style battery from my s3-style theme...i also had very much problem with battery icon.... After playing with adobe photoshop , i got it with proper size.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] amifiq:
Last time I downloaded the s3 theme, it doesnt come in the usual format so i cant take some part of it without flashing it.

Can you please upload the it in your theme post?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
Hi. I'm on mobile right now so cant point you to the exact value entry but theres a dimen value in dimens.xml in SystemUI.apk in /res/values/ something like statusbar height. You can increase that to fit your need. Try it and let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] amifiq:
Cant find it. But its okay.. I found a solution.

I think I'm gonna take Google's ics icon and photoshop it to Samsung's ics icon colours.

The shape is exact same, right?

I'm gonna try this.

What to do???? If i dont change anything than it is compiled but when i change style.xml and progress-bar.xml i get this error.:confused: If i need to pull the resources then how to get it???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
Did you change an existing color or added your own?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androman1507:
If u r talking about color of system background then i want to use png file as back ground.Here is the link i used to change background. Otherwise no change in any type of color...And i am trying to add ics style progress-bar.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
Ok. Do the following.

1. Goto style.xml and check what is on line 189.

2. Check if the color 'background' is specified or not in colors.xml or in the color folder.

The error is there because it couldn't find that color. Check it out.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androman1507:
Ok, in style.xml line 189 is

<item name="windowBackground">@color/background</item>

So i think it is ok.

In colo.xml i am getting line as below:

<color name="name of color">color-code</color>

They must be defining color values. So will i have to define background as color? If yes, then in which line and which color code should be used for background?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
Color code depends on the color you want. Use this site to generate the color hex-code.

For eg. : ICS Blue is 33b5e5.

So the color entry would be:

<color name="background">#FF33b5e5</color>

The initial FF is for alpha value.

00 -> Fully transparent

FF -> Fully Visible

Anything in between is semi-transparent

Now apk files compile but when i view it using root explorer i found that META-INF folder in apk file is not created..how to add it?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
You can't use the recompiled apk directly. Take the files you changed from the recompiled apk using 7zip. When I say 'take' it means copy paste somewhere. And replace those in the original apk. Before doing this, make sure you backed up the original apk. Files should go in the exact same place. This method confirmed works.

i see everyone using some type of file server account. then getting your accounts suspended from too many transfers.

why don't you all create your own ftp websights and have your own servers.???????

what would be the drawbacks.

i used to have an old pc i would use for transfering funny shows from my tivo to my dad who lives 1700 miles away.

i used dyndns.com. it's free. to direct his traffic to my pc. and had a free ftp program installed on the pc.

basically i had my own ftp web address that he could tie into my pc with.

i had a folder on the pc. that allowed access. so he could see any file that was in that folder only. not the rest of the pc. but it was a dedicated pc for his use only. so i coould leave it on. and let him access and trasnfer at his discretion.

in other words. i had my own ftp websight set up on a seconday pc specifically for that purpose.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Drunkula:
I would reckon many don't want to open themselves up for potential attacks and/or potential slowdowns. Me personally would have no problem with it but I wouldn't be using FTP.

EDIT:

Now that I think about it I probably wouldn't as the significantly increased traffic to my IP would raise an eyebrow or two at Verizon. Running services violates my TOS with them. Shame as I have a decent fiber connection.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] digitalr0gue:
Because it ha nothing to do with servers and everything to do with bandwidth, which is still a concern if you host your own server. Although some of these links get hammered (ask Samurai about that lol), and would require good hardware (read: expensive) to properly host as well. Besides, most can barely read forums and handle their phone hardware. Setting up a raid 10 NAS with iSCSI and load balancing servers is beyond the grasp of most...

I get port scanned regularly by Comcast. My Sonicwall logs are filled with the discarded packet messages.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] snowwy66:
if you have cable. speed shouldn't be much of an issue these days. the roms aren't that big. so users could download pretty quickly.

FTP is wayyyyyyyyyy faster then https.

https has a max of 50kbps.

ftp also has a setting that one can choose for max uploads. which would suck if the entire world was trying to download at the same time.

the cheapest computer you could possibly find. is sufficient. no need for a raid and all that stuff.

it's a dedicated machine for your needs. get a virus. 10 minutes is all it takes to format and re setup. your own computer is never touched.

only problem i see as one post indicated would be the amount of uploads. and TOS if that applies.

i never got hammered and neither did my dad. when we transfered as high as 50 gigs per month on movies. i had qwest and he had ATT dsl

in all reality. really not much difference then the old days of using kazaa and napster. cept your providing your own server.

I still have not bought the Razr I (but I'm getting close to) and the flash player missing for me it is a problem.

So I started digging for more info and now I have extracted from the Orange San Diego ROM (supk_eng.release.mfld_pr2.BKB4OUK.devr3.i2847)

the files needed to try to see if they work on the Razr (same x86 platform).

So you need only to copy the attached 2 files like this

into

/libs/plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer goes libflashplayer.so (from the zip)

and into

/app goes FlashPlayer.apk

Anyone want to try and post the result ?

Same on my Razr i.
[RAZR i General] lennox671:
I guess it means system/app and system/libs

the /* directories are in RAM (except data, cache, system and the radio dir) and if you add a file in it, it will be deleted at reboot

(Don't have a razr i, but I may be buying one in the next days)
[RAZR i General] Vistaus:
But to access system/app and system/libs you need Root Explorer which means... rooting the Razr i. I'm not against root at all but it would be nice if there was also a possibility to this without root.
[RAZR i General] Prac_23:
Am following this thread closely...... would love to see flash on this and then would probably get one myself. Have one temporarily at the moment (but can't root it as it's not mine) so if there is anything you need me to try that doesn't require rooting let me know.
[RAZR i General] Robbilie:
First i need to say:

bad description...

and the link is dead cause the page has db errors...

so i guess its /system/lib instead of /system/libs and i personally dont have a plugins folder, so i created one and put in the so file...

pushed the flashplayer.apk to the /system/app folder and rebootet...

seems to be installed, though, flash isnt working...

tried with this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onlinetvrecorder.SchoenerFernsehen2

and it tells me i have 11.0.1 installed but it doesnt work, shows me the icon "no plugin available"...

so what now?

//Robert ;)
[RAZR i General] lennox671:
Did you activate the plugin in the browser's parameters?
[RAZR i General] V-g-:
I agree - the description is wrong. So are the files attached. You need the files from the “San Diego system dump 4.0.4″ and they need to go in the following paths:

/system/lib/plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/libflashplayer.so

/system/app/FlashPlayer.apk

I got it working by moving libflashplayer.so first, then FlashPlayer.apk, then rebooted. Unfortunately it only works in the stock browser.

Here is the files needed from the “San Diego system dump 4.0.4″:

**************************************************************************

So just to confirm I understood correctly:

1) root phone so have access to system folders

2) Replace /system/lib/plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/libflashplayer.so with file from “San Diego system dump 4.0.4″:

dl.dropbox.com/u/19117372/RAZRI_flash.zip

3) Replace /system/app/FlashPlayer.apk with file from “San Diego system dump 4.0.4″:

dl.dropbox.com/u/19117372/RAZRI_flash.zip

4) Reboot phone

5) Flash should work on Rarz i stock browser?

Let me know, Thanks
