Hi all. :)

Just a short write up as a follow on from THIS thread as this is relatively quite simple.

So you want to change your notification background from the plain dark color to something a bit more your style...

​

...well all you need to do is decompile your SystemUI.apk and navigate to the values folder and open up your drawables.xml and you should see something like this...

<resources>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_number_text_color">#ffffffff</item>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color">#ff111111</item>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color_pressed">#ff257390</item>
<item type="drawable" name="ticker_background_color">#ff1d1d1d</item>
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#ff000000</item>
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_recents_background_solid">#e5000000</item>
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_recents_app_thumbnail_background">#88000000</item>
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_notification_row_background_color">#ff090909</item>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_header_bg">#ff000000</item>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_tracking_bg">#e5000000</item>
<item type="drawable" name="recents_callout_line">#99ffffff</item>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_legacy_color">#ffaaaaaa</item>
</resources>

Simply change these two lines...

[B]<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color">#ff111111</item>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color_pressed">#ff257390</item>[/B]

to...

[B]<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color">[COLOR="Red"]@drawable/status_bar_item_background_normal[/COLOR]</item>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color_pressed">[COLOR="Red"]@drawable/status_bar_item_background_pressed[/COLOR]</item>[/B]

...then add two .9 png images of the same name, status_bar_item_background_normal and status_bar_item_background_pressed to your drawable-hdpi folder, recompile, zipalign, push to your Phone, done. :)

Quick Tip: If you can't create a .9 from scratch just edit the first two in drawable_hdpi which in my folder is alert_bar_background_normal.9 and alert_bar_background_pressed.9, just remember not edit over the .9 borders.

What else do we need :) Thanks for collecting all this, there's alot of things i haven't seen yet
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
A very extensive guide here, similar to the all in one thread in the Q&A section. However, this thread does seem to be more generic and less detailed for the T/TX/TL/V phones than the AIO. My suggestion would be to make this thread more generic to android otherwise these two threads will get confused.

Thanks for putting in the time and effort to collect it together though.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SXUsr:
You're welcome. :)

That's kind of the idea as I've said in the OP and was written to give People a condensed but comprehensive guide to modding the Xperia range, and as my next Phone is going to be my fourth Xperia I'll be adding 2012 stuff as and when I come across it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SXUsr:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] beginnerteur:
Is it possible to unlock the Xperia T's bootloader with the Testpoin Method or does it work only with the standard/official way? Thx!

I'm asking because the Xperia T has been released in 2012 but in the related tutorial the title is "Xperia 2011 devices"...:confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Err, no because you cannot gain access to the test pine on an Xperia T because the back does not come off, secondly, Sony have already closed that exploit off and finally do you not think we would have already tried that....

Ok. Thought I was missing something cause a lot of developers for Sprint at putting point roms for 4.1.2. Thanks for the quick response
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jazz995756:
This ROMs more likely are the stock jellybean they're not usually touchwiz and if they are it might be just a port off another device supporting the recent update.

[Nook Color General] NMGxda:
See above title. My motherboard was recently replaced by a third party. Could he have made a wrong connection? The only thing is it says it has available B&N storage but won't use it. My Nook is not rooted and I do not want to root it to solve this problem. Can somebody help me?
[Nook Color General] NMGxda:
Help!!!

I'd like some help. It's still only letting me use 40%-50% of my shop partition.
[Nook Color General] hwong96:
Click on "about" button and tell us the amount of storage space remaining.

There are two partitioning schemes that BN utilized. 1gb data/5gb media or 5gb data/1gb media. Which one do you have on your NC?
[Nook Color General] NMGxda:
I have 1g data/5g media

Data being b&n content.

The apps just wont download afer 40-50 percent of b&n content is used. They go through the process of downloading and installing only to display the download button again after that.
[Nook Color General] hwong96:
Do the 8 failed boots to restore the BN firmware. Here is LeapinLar's tips thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25354258#post25354258

In particular item A12 and A15 for updating stock firmware to 1.4.3.
[Nook Color General] NMGxda:
Last time I did this, which was before the motherboard replacement, it took several days for it to go back up to 1.4.3. Would the replaced motherboard mean it won't go back as far?
[Nook Color General] hwong96:
Your best option to update to BN 1.4.3 is to go to the BN website and manually download v1.4.3 and install it yourself. The partitioning could be corrupted when the repair tech replaced the mobo and tried to restore the firmware.

BN link to 1.4.3 http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Software-Updates-NOOK-Color/379003190
[Nook Color General] NMGxda:
It didn't work.
[Nook Color General] webyrd:
How much BN data do you have? You may need to repartition to 5g data 1g media.
[Nook Color General] NMGxda:
1. It's funny. I'm recieving mixed results. One time I had a certain amount of apps and it said I had 400+ MB left. Now I have more apps and it says I have 500+ MB left.

2. How would I do this?
[Nook Color General] webyrd:
See this thread to repartition http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1094371
[Nook Color General] NMGxda:
Would this include rooting my device? I would not want to do this if it does.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
No, this leaves your stock as stock. It just changes the other partitions.

Let's assume you have experience in running a site with over 4 million accounts, and 60.000 daily visitors. Let's say it's a hot topic, like Android.

How much do you think ad companies would give to get their hands on accounts or even ad space?

The 10 post rule is there to prevent spamming and new members asking questions in development threads that are easily answered with one search action. So, the impossibility answering questions in development is the downside of this rule, but it's easily remedied if the question is an "easy one". :)

Hi

I want a good nfc task App. I have seen one called nfc tasker. But is it any good? Dødes anyone have sugestions for other apps?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] threeclaws:
nfc task launcher, they have cheap tags through their app store too
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] la3bna:
Is it easy to use?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] UberSlackr:
+1 for NFC Task Launcher. Best & Pretties NFC app.

Real easy to use. Pick a Profile (Car, Home, Bed, Office), and write to tag. Add other task to the pre-made profiles, or make your own from scratch. Erase tags too.

If you want to write URLs, V-Cards, Messages, etc then get Tagstand Writer (by the same developers of NFC Task Launcher)

(also in NFC Task Launcher, scroll to the left to "Free Tags" and get two free tags by posting to Twitter)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] la3bna:
Is there an app that lets me read a nfc/rfid card and later lets the phone act as that card?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] UberSlackr:
Umm, no... and since when does the Nexus 4 have anything to do with RFID?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] gowansta:
It has nothing to do with it. It would simply make less for some of us to carry.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
Basically NFC is based on RFID standards but uses different frequencies so the two don't work together. That said, many companies are embracing NFC now and things like Mastercard Paypass and Visa Paywave technology use it. If these companies pulled their finger out and actually started allowing us to connect our accounts to the phone through the likes of Google Wallet, we could do away with physical wallets altogether!

Security is the big issue though and this is why you will never be able to just scan and then use a card, imagine how easy it would be to just swish your phone past someones wallet in a queue and then pay with their card! There is already equipment fairly readily available that can be put together and programmed to do this, putting that tech in everyones hands would be asking for trouble.

Back on topic. I highly recommend NFC Task Launcher and, for ultimate automation, use it with Tasker. That lets you do basically anything you want with your phone at the simple swipe of a tag.

I see, I did get a all that reads the access card @work so I was thinking that an app would let me read and replicate so that I could enter the office complex even if I forgot my card...

[HTC One S] bihslk:
Hi

Many people complained last days that they have problem with SuperSU 0.99 app.

They cant update the binary and phone reboots its self after "update failed" message

I got an HTC One S with S4 cpu last week and i got the new Jelly Bean Update 4.1.1

Then i unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP custom recovery with One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.0 tool kit

After that i tryed to Root the phone with SuperSU 0.99.

Seems worked fine until i tryed to update my binary.

I get message "update failed" and my phone restarts.

I tryed to wipe and reflash the root but still same.

I even tryed to remove SUPERSU from System/App but with no luck. It keeps coming back even if i

removing it and revert everything to stock its still in SYSTEM.

Now i found this new Superuser version and flashed it and now my phone works fine and updating binary.

No more phone restart.

Even my SuperSU 0.99 is gone from system.

How TO:

Download superuser from this page http://androidsu.com/superuser/

Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip

Then boot into recovery

Flash Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip

Restart and voila the root works...

Hope i helped you guys.. Good Luck

I started this thread just because of the issue SUPERSU 0.99 brings to HTC One S with Jelly Bean update.

I hope i can help someone because i didnt find any solution to my problem until i flashed superuser and it solved my problem.
[HTC One S] OCedHrt:
I agree that this adds clutter, but I have been lightly following the threads for the JB ROMs and tried using superuser (though not the rc) without it working (still unable to update system). It's good to have this kind of solution in its own thread but general would probably be a better section.

I feel it belongs here... this is where SU apps are in the development section... SO, this is where it should stay... (that is just my opinion)
[HTC One S] bihslk:
I never want to start this thread like an development because im not a developer.

Reason is that i want to share my issue with anyone who is facing the same problem as i did.

Just like i said if someone think this thread doesn´t belong here then admins can move it to right section.
[HTC One S] SuperNono:
Updated to JB with OTA yesterday night.

Short version:

-Initially rooted with CWM recovery-> flashed MoDaCo stock recovery

-Apply OTA

-Flash CWM recovery

-Used CWM recovery to flash SuperSU 0.99 zip

-Uninstall/reinstall SuperSu from the Market

When starting SuperSU, it asks for update, if agree -> reboot.

BUT

When using root needing apps, like Titanium backup or FX file manager, they ask for root permission through SU and everything runs normally.

So SuperSU seems to work, only the front end app has some bug. I'm staying with that config waiting for an update.

[HTC One S] Black2M:
Hi. I think I have a problem with SuperSU (or something else??). I first started SuperSU last thursday (31.1.2013.). It ask me to update binary, I hit OK, and then it took about half hour to restart. System then recovered, and everything seem to be OK, but it's not!

When I connect my HTC One S to PC I only see files created (photos, videos) until 31.01.2013. Also, when I run Settings -> Memory com.android.settings crashes.

What to do?

I'm new to android. Plese help!
