I got all the way until the end, and when I paste the zip file in system/app, I changed permissions, but it just shows up as a zip file, not an apk. I see both SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.zip in the same file. Both permissions are the same. Rebooted and the icon is still there. Where did I go wrong?

Edit: It looks as though it's recreating the .png's in addition to the .bak files I made. Not sure if it's because of the odex'd SystemUI file that's also in there?

I'd post a screenshot but for some reason I can't post them. It's saying "image upload is no longer working" and to update the app, even though I already have xda premium.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Its TwiX:
The file you edited is a zip. The instructions he made were a little confusing for people that don't know about apks. You need to change the file extension from .zip to .apk and then push it. This will replace the current apk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
You rock, that did it! Thanks!!

I got rid of that alarm icon as well...nice! There's a spot missing where it was, but it's only noticeable if the phone is on vibrate or silent. Cleanin up shop! Thanks again!

So basically we can do basic themeing on our phone by opening systemui.apk playing with images and then rezip and rename push/permissions then reboot? I always thought it had to be done on a computer with like apktool and such... Oh im gonna be busy for a while lol, themes are my favorite thing about android, it can look exactly how i want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] toprunner2786:
Kinda weird...I tried this unzipping> renaming the images>rezip>change .zip to .apk>replace SystemUI.apk

After a reboot, I got no wallpaper and no notification shade at all...I must have messed something up. I tried using ES File Manager with root enabled. Is the unzipping and zipping different between ES and "Root File Explorer"?

I am just familiar with ES and like the way it handles most things, it would be good to know in the future. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
There's always been problems with ES. Root Explorer is kind of the standard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tmiv44:
wall paper change

I did the whole process using root explorer, and I also had my wall paper reset back to the default. My notifications seem to be fine.

Also worth mentioning, I first copied the file as a .ZIP into the proper location, then changed the permissions, then renamed the original as a .Bak, then renamed the new one from .ZIP to .APK, then rebooted. I'm not sure if doing it that way made a difference or not.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Push meaning replace it with the original file, right?

I never made a backup of my original systemUI apk, although i got one from another thread where the wifi toggle icon is added to the notification shade screen. Are all the systemUI's teh same, or is there something in there unique to the device?

I will be doing this later today, too. That icon annoys me, but I need the alarm one.

I can't get my pc to open my pictures like I am used to. I open my DCIM of my phone (when my PC actually recognizes my phone) and all I see are a bunch of JPG Icons. I have a couple of hundred pictures and I like to see my pictures as soon as I open my phone with my pc.

Having to click on every one just plain sucks. I'm running Windows 7 on my PC. I really don't want to load my pictures each time and THEN have to view them. That is terribly inconvenient. My TBOLT didn't have this problem. Samsung seems to have a few issues with certain programs on their phones.

It's because the phone only connects in mtp mode which for some reason doesn't work like mass storage mode where u can preview thumbnails of images.

Service by Straight Talk

if I tap the checkbox next to the 2G only option in Settings->more->Mobile Networks, the box is greyed out, but the 3g connection remains. No third-party apps can toggle this either. data is on 3g or it is off. As the HTC One X has pretty bad battery life already, I really would like to see this fixed. I'd hate to have to switch roms, but I'll do it if that's what it takes. Does anyone else have this problem?

[Desire HD General] recolor-shrink-spool:
I noticed that quite some people have problems with the flashLEDs on their DHD's. The common problem is that when you want to take a picture with flash on, the phone reboots and the picture isn't saved. I have had the same problem for some time too.

But guess what? I ordered a new battery and it arrived today. I did some testing and my conclusion is:

With the old battery the phone reboots when trying to take a picture in the dark, but with the new battery it works just fine!

I am 100% sure that the problem is battery-related.

I think that the battery of the DHD isn't of very high quality, and after a year or longer it just can't handle it any more. It could also be related to heat-exposure of the battery.

So anyone experiencing this problem: if you want to get rid of it, buy a new battery! It has some other benefits: much longer battery life and your phone doesn't get that warm any more.

I got mine for 12 euros from eBay.

just thought this might be handy for some people.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.james:
Hi guys,

i've got a problem with my desire (gsm, bravo).

I was using cyanogenmod 7.2.0.1 for a while and everything was ok. Today i did a nandroid backup and installed a MIUI V rom to test it.

I didn't like it and wanted to return to CM. So i restored nandroid backup... everything went well... BUT:

Now my internal memory is gone! I just see ~130MB Phone-memory and my 16GB SD-Card. The internal 2GB is nowhere to be found...

The 16GB-SDcard is mounted under /sdcard and the folder /sd-ext (Which i think was the 2GB internal memory before) is 0byte and empty.

Things i tried which did not fix:

- Restore factory default

- Wipe everything possible from inside clockworkmod

- Format /sd-ext from clockworkmod (completes fine, but does nothing)

- Restore other odler nandroid backup (cm7.1, cm7.0 - i even tried the stock HTC rom nandroid)

EDIT (in hope this doesn't push this thread up again)

FIXED:

Ok, after a night of sleep i realized that i was just stupid. I mistook that the desire HAD internal 2GB flash while it only has the small 512MB ROM partition + sdcard :) So all is working as expected and I was confusing it with another phone ... sorry to disturb you and thankd for your answer, eddiehk6.

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
did the internal memory definitely say 2GB before you switched roms? it's a bit strange because a nandroid restore should restore everything exactly as it was before.

what A2SD script were you using on cm rom? CM doesn't move apps to sd-ext automatically. also confirm that the ext partition was created with gparted or 4ext recovery (not minitool or clockworkmod recovery)

also do your apps still work? if so then everything probably is still working.

even so, a lot of the time, you won't see your internal memory as "internal + sd-ext". depending on the script, keeping apps on internal should move trick them to sd-ext. use another app like 'diskusage' to browse your partitions.

your internal memory is also 130MB i imagine also because you are also on stock hboot? if you don't know what that means then s-off and change hboot to cm7r2 maximise space a bit, further reading here.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rarog:
That's an easy answer. It is cheaper to produce just ONE board for all the devices. As for versions, that officially don't have NFC it could be three variants.

1) The chip is working, but isn't connected via hardware (missing or cut wire leading to antenna)

2) NFC chip disabled by software (ROM without NFC)

3) All the charges, where NFC chip is somehow broken could still be sold as NFC free version with software disabled variant (Same as option 2)

The earliest thing I remember handeled this way was the Intel 486SX, which was actually a DX variant with just disconnected FPU (floating point unit). Back then you could often read about tricks like reconnecting the wires with graphit by just drawing a line with a pencil. :D
