[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shekhutanwar:
I am beginner to android ROM development. i am at learning stage. I want to make a stock rom of HTC Explorer in a zip format so that it can be flashable through CWM. Here is the steps i am following:

1. I extraced rom.zip file from HTC Explorer RUU.

2. I placed it in original_update folder in android kitchen.

3. I set up a working folder from android kitchen menu and i got these files and folders in WORKING folder

META-INF

4. I selected the option 99 in kitchen menu that is Building a ROM.

5. After successful completion i got a zip file in OUTPUT folder.

6.Then, i copied that update.zip file from OUTPUT folder to my sd card.

7. Now, i boot into recovery, and try to install zip from sd card but it shows an error like this

Error in sd-card/update.zip

(Status 0)

Installation Aborted.

[Galaxy S III General] arovik:
Will we get Android 4.2 for our S3?
[Galaxy S III General] respider:
probably yes...

when? samsung decides
[Galaxy S III General] GabrielSousa:
yes we will, but not this year !!
[Galaxy S III General] wtfshouldidonow:
I've seen rumors from Samsung that says they'd release a 4.1.2 update this coming december. I don't remember where I saw it though.
[Galaxy S III General] Stevemeister:
Should we even care? How much of those features will Samsung include?

-Photo sphere....maybe but probably not

-Widgets on lockscreen....maybe but probably not

-Quick settings...No (Samsung already has toggles)

-Keyboard...No (Samsung already has swipe)

-Multiple user accounts....probably Yes

-Miracast...No (Samsung will probably stick with Allshare)

-Daydream....No

Nothing interesting for users with OEM skinns if you'd ask me.
[Galaxy S III General] kulisap:
Yes. Tomorrow. Believe me.
[Galaxy S III General] Poker gypsy:
Yesterday I had an update on my Kies every time I get that I always get a software update on my phone, takes from 1 week up to 4
[Galaxy S III General] Meraklis56:
even with one feature,we still want the update. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Why shouldn't we? Android 4.2 doesn't look like it brings such incredible changes that the hardware in the GS3 isn't sufficient.
[Galaxy S III General] ganucci:
We will get the update.... but my feelings... most of us will get rid of this phone to gakaxy s4 or nexus when the update is available heheheh
[Galaxy S III General] Stevemeister:
Update/flash junkies are just pathetic. If youre running AOSP than I get that you want 4.2, but on Touchwiz it won't add much except for one or two feature plus a number increase.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Whoa, did you just call the majority of XDA users pathetic?
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
4.1.2 and 4.2 bring more bug fixes than new features and you never know what Samsung decides to add to their updates.
[Galaxy S III General] sathkartha:
...even if they did,nothing really earth-shaking in 4.1.2.....chances are that by then,we might have a CM nightly running on 4.2....:cool:
[Galaxy S III General] Ruchit parmar:
Almost all the recent features are available in current 4.1 like pop up windows gallery camera... etc.... what else do u expect from Samsung to come up with.......

I think everybody is waiting for a big magic of having beer in der hand in place of der s3 whenever dey want......
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
I think every firmware that pops up samsung fixes bugs, and bring new improvements. It was allways so. Then when you expect a major upgrade they will tell you that they don´t support you anymore. Like they have done with galaxy S and galaxy tab P1000.
[Galaxy S III General] TheCraig:
The SII is still supported (Jelly Bean) So we should get another year of updates before we get dumped...
[Galaxy S III General] efegue:
The problem was never the hardware ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Simonetti2011:
I am not holding my breath for Samsung updates.... I'll just try to think of something else and try to enjoy what I have (JB 4.1.1)

The last time I trusted Samsung, they delayed the promised release of JB in over 2 months (it was initially meant for early august but was released in late october).

Anyhow, even 'though I am one of the pathetic flash junkies (I resent that, btw), I am trying to get over it, because it causes too much anxiety, which makes me drink too much coffee (or the other way around, IDK), which causes me to not sleep well at night, which causes me to be late for work... damn you, Samsung!
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
Once you have the base 4.2 samsung rom you can simply use most of the features by copying/installing those features. it think multi user is only for tablets. But frankly 4.2 has no mind blowing are a must have feature like 4.1.

4.2 camera is already ported, the only exception the sphere is not working for anyone, hopefully will get fixed soon.

Almost all oems face this issue, its not that easy to make a working ,bug free versions that soon ;) poor oems, i dont see any solution in long sight for this issue :highfive:

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

yes lets enjoy 4.1.1 ;) no other oems other than samsung released jb updates faster..
[Galaxy S III General] Meraklis56:
HTC is not that late.Some days ago,started rolling jb in Europe and Asia simultaneously.Not 1 country in the beginning and some other countries weeks later,like S3.

Yes,i do appreciate Sasmung for bringing us first jb but we have a sweet sour taste cause of the bugs.Lets wait for new releases with more bug fixes.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Watch out for Steve, he's a ****!

I agree about the touchwiz side of things.

But calling people pathetic makes you a ****.
[Galaxy S III General] stierney:
Google are really pushing vanilla android now with the nexus 4 and 10 coming out imminently.

Unfortunately the only way to force manufacturers to stop skinning phones is to jump ship and buy the nexus 4.

If that phone is a massive success then Samsung etc will take note and may think about stop using skins.

I love the i9300 but since ics there is no real advantage to skin the Os apart from maintaining brand identity which differentiates phones by supplier and keeps the non techies happy because the look and feel is familiar.

If the nexus was a Sammy phone it would be a no Brainer for me. I like the design and spec but it's an LG ; (

I'll be taking a good hard look at that phone and make a decision one I see it in the flesh ;)
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
i strongly disagree ;) the oem skins does make a big difference to the functionality.. Whats the point in having an android device that looks same on all phones with same features? all the end user need is a great interface along with unique features ,they dont care whether it is a pure android os or not, ofcourse we techies can opt for a nexus device or run cm10/11 on our existing device. Most of the smartphone users go for functionality and use it as a smartphone the way it is intended to be used rather than tweaking/flashing/customizing like us.
[Galaxy S III General] Simonetti2011:
That makes 2 of us.... I disagree too.

What stierney considers an unwanted skinning, manufacturers call their advantage, something to tell their devices apart from the rest.

Nowadays the gap in hardware from manufacturer to manufacturer is very small. Take the top 10 Android devices and they all have pretty much the same hardware (or very, VERY similar), with subtle differences in a few items.

Of course nobody buys a S III solely because of TouchWiz, but the whole thing together, the whole package including Samsung's firmware.

I, for instance, love SamsungDive (one of the reasons I stick to stock ROMs) and AllShare. If it were for stierney's suggestion, we wouldn't have any of this. The only thing that would be left to choose among several manufacturers would be design first and hardware second.

OTOH, some customizations are horrible. I hate everything Sony Ericsson does to their devices, software-wise. I also hate Motoblur. Other people love both and that is the beauty of it. It is great to have choices... we are not in the old USSR!
[Galaxy S III General] fulcrum1971:
I too disagree. TW brings a lot of value added features. Prefer JB on Note 2 more than stock JB.
[Galaxy S III General] Lawrencets:
This.

The multi-user will not be implemented in celphones, only in tablets.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hotheabilly:

I'm so excited, this keyboard support emojis for messaging (SMS), included already in apk installer. :cool:

And I noticed in original CM9 keyboard doesn't support emojis yet for SMS
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hotheabilly:
how? I even didn't know that :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] temenalie:
hehe, this morning when I type text messages and tap option, actually i wanna insert smiley in my text, but I saw "insert emojis" line below insert smiley line.

and I compared with my girlfriend who's using CM9 too (same device) and i didn't saw that lines in her messages option :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bbmadzky:
She can install any emoji plugin available in the play store to be able to see the emojis too on her phone. Can't confirm yet if installing the keyboard alone does the trick on yours but do have any such app installed on your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] temenalie:
Whatsapp? Line? FB Messenger? G+ messenger?

I'm not really sure which apps that I've installed before has enabled emojis

But I'm sure, I couldn't insert emojis in my text (SMS) before :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] temenalie:
@ hotheabilly, do you know how to enabling swype in keyboard 4.2?

As I know, keyboard 4.2 support gesture swype included for who running +4.0 Stock ICS or CM9/CM10, but I don't know how to enable it :(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] temenalie:
Edit:

I've got it!

Click keyboard icon in left corner, and change method input to another one android keyboard (US) :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] foid:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kai92:
I think I will stick to Swype.

Great keyboard! :D

Hi! What SMS aplication is that? Is not the SMS aplication that comes with CM. Well, is it but un blue color, not green.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] temenalie:
It is theme for CM9 from ibanez7

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31846367

Seems like no updates to latest CM9 RCs.

But if you like, download the theme, extract, and push MMS.apk manually to /system/app

Don't forget set permissions to RW- R-- R--

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mikrotik:
Wow
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Jarlaxxe:
Thanks so much! Installing .apk on the CM10 can produce any error with it?

On the other hand, I wish to see an screenshot of the contacts.apk and dialer.

Thanks so much for the quickly reply.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] temenalie:
Currently I'm running CM10,

And I'm not using this theme

For dial and contact, the apk's or this theme give you transparent one.

hi themers! :)

After png's have been optimized, they are shown as indexed color mode, and therefore isnt correctly loaded with photoshop.

So made a small tool, that is able to convert lots of png-files, into 32bit RGB Alpha mode, so that they are all readable with photoshop, and other image editors as well.

I made this tool, because i thought it was a bit of a hassle to convert every png with indexed color mode, into 32bit RGBA mode, one by one. I do realize that it can be accomplished by batch processing, but thought it would be a lot easier with a GUI tool, so I made this :)

What it does exactly, is that the themer can add thousands of png's to a list, and then convert all of them, with only a few clicks.

I actually dont know how 9-patch png's (*.9.PNG) are behaving after the convertion, so made a button to exclude them from the list, before converting, so they dont get "hurt" in the process.

*EDIT* - Un-Optimizing compiled ninepatch files will mess them up, and they will not work afterwards!

Index color mode png opened with photoshop:

(Before)

​

The exact same png opened with photoshop, but Un-optimized with my tool:

(After)

​

If i helped, i only ask for a "Thanks", and if anyone run into problems, have some ideas for changes or anything else, please let me know :)

And if just one person find this useful, ill consider this project: "time well spended" ;)

Cheers!

TODO List:

+ Add "Un-Optimize selected file(s)" to the right-click context menu

+ Add panning/scroll feature at View Image window

+ Add "Un-Optimize" to windows context menu, when right-clicking png files

+ Add "Optimize" functionality, to make files optimized again

+ Port it to Linux (?)
​

Current release:

v1.1

+ Added Double-Click on items in list, to show image and its resolution, but not bitdepth as it showed 32bit on index png-files as well. Making it show if its index mode seems like a bit of a struggle to accomplish, so didnt add that.

+ Added Right-Click context menu at items in the list, with the ability to show the image, open in favorite editor and remove from list.

+ Added Drag&Drop function.

+ Added Settings window, to set Favorite Image Editor (like photoshop or such...) and Exclude 9-Patch (*.9.PNG) files from list on every add.

+ Fixed a lot of code, so its now more stable and user-friendly.
​

Previous releases:

v1.0

(First official release)

How to use this tool

First of all, if you havent already, then extract the zip content to anywhere you feel like.. Some place you remember :)

When starting it up, you will see some buttons, and they are kind of self-explanatory, but nevertheless ill explain it anyway.

The first thing you are going to do, is to add some files to convert:

Or you can just drag+drop files and folders from explorer or something similar, onto the tool. This is a newly added feature, so please report if anything goes wrong :)
​

Then you might want to remove some file(s), you can just select the one(s) from the list, holding CTRL down while left-click on the items. After that, click the "Remove selected..."-button.

I recommend that you click "Remove 9-Patch files..."-button, before starting the convertion, as *.9.png files gets messed up in the process. The technical thing, is that they loose the byte chunk binary information in the header, and therefore cant decode.

​

Now, you should be ready, so just click the "Start !"-button, to begin the convertion. It will take a few minuttes to finnish, depending on your machine and how many PNG-files to convert, and their size and details.

​

For future use, it would be a good idea to check out the Settings for this tool.

​

When the settings window is open, you are able to set your Favorite Image Editor (like Photoshop or such...), so that you are able to select one or more files in the list, right-click and "Open selected file(s) in Favorite image editor". This will then launch you image editor, and then open the selected file(s), within this and your are ready to edit them from there.

There is also the option to make it exclude 9-patch files, by default everytime you add files to the list.

​

If you have any questions, constructive critism, or just some ideas to be made, then feel free to post :)
[Android Themes] fredmode01:
Damn... thanks limit... I'll try to remember to give you later the one you deserve.

I've not tried your tool, I'm at the office, leaving in two minutes, but I'm sure it's going to make my life easier.. this indexed color mode drives me crazy..

Thanks anyway, I'll give you feedback later too.. :o
[Android Themes] anbech:
thanks mate :)

yeah, that was how i felt before making this tool.. so im glad it will make your life easier as well ;)

looking forward for your feedback :good:

Thanks my friend. I'll work when I have some time :good:
[Android Themes] vegeta1:
Simply Superb :highfive::good:

App Test On Its Way Brother :D:highfive:

edit : ran a simple test and this is so sexy mate , big thanks will save alot ,, alot of time for users and new themers :D

just an opinion : if you can add an open button for the converted file , would be awsum :)
[Android Themes] anbech:
thanks my friends! really glad you like this.. and yeah, this is making theming a whole lot faster.. :)

the point with this, is just select all the apk's output folders, and click "Yes" to include subdirectories, and then it will add all pngs to convert into nicely editable files :) but, dont know about the 9patch ones, so made a button to exclude them from the list, right before converting, just in case ;)

vegeta, ive already planned to make a double-click function on the items, in the list, to show the image in another window.. and some small description of the image, like resolution, bit depth, and such... so, that will be added into the next version ;)

EDIT:

you guys should probably subscribe to this thread, because updates will come, guaranteed.. just a suggestion ;)

EDIT2:

Updated the TODO list :)
[Android Themes] raubkatze:
Great work mate! And I see it's very useful for win users.

Using Mac I have no such issues at all. Photoshop opens 9.png with no problem and the thing which necessary to do is decrease Canvas size to get real image size for future patching after editing.

thanks alot mate, just kind of update i wanted :D

double click , right click options to remove file , multi selecting :D

thanks alot again brother :)
[Android Themes] anbech:
vegeta, im glad that youre glad about the new changes ;)

hope it comes handy for all the themers at xda.. i certainly, as the developer of it, think its making the theming process a lot faster.. just add the SystemUI extracted apk and framework-res.apk, and it will make ALL the png's fully editable, except 9patch files though... :)
[Android Themes] dully79:
Thank you

I had to come out of exile to say many, many thanks for this tool.

I've been looking for something like this for a long time instead of using fireworks or pixlr.com.

It runs very smooth and is very light on resources.:)

If i may make a suggestion. How about adding a right click "un optimize" option to the windows right click menu?.

Highlight png/s> right click> un optimize.
[Android Themes] anbech:
awesome mate! really appreciate it, means a lot to me, since ive used countless hours on this project already ;)

great idea mate, dont know why i havent thought of that.. going to add that to the TODO list at OP, and will be available in the next release.. :)

so may i suggest that you subscribe this thread, to keep yourself updated..? :)

cheers mate, and thanks for all the "thanks" you gave ;)

Hi!

im running CM10 nightlies for some time now..

love it, its great.

the thing is..

ive installed my dad the same thing, (as u can see keeping it up to date)

but somehow when youre going to - about phone/status (phone number etc..) my dad got my phone number..

and no, i didnt switch the SIM or whatever..

when he calls me, its still his phone number..

only the phones status has changed..

any ideas on why that had happend?

and how the hell do i change it back?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
may be due to the same 'Google a/c" been used on both the phones to configure i suppose:)
