Re: [MOD/GUIDE] Xperia Jelly Bean Style SystemUI | Customize Your Own Statusbar! [10/

Haha. Exactly.

I've seen so many threads, they even try to pull it till 4th. Though it's not worth it.

Do one thing, make another thread, like "tutorial- simple mods using apktool " or something sensible.

Even I was trying to play with the home apk. Do you mind providing some info on it?

Check your pm.

guide: Transparent status bar ? ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] erorcun:
It's possible by editing first two letter of background color.

00: fully transparent

40: 75% transparent

80: 50% transparent

BE: 25% transparent

Re: [MOD/GUIDE] Xperia Jelly Bean Style SystemUI | Customize Your Own Statusbar! [10/

What do you mean? If you mean the way it button look, just replace png in drawable xhdpi folder. If you mean different toggle, answer is no. This is not quickpanel systemui;)

Good job. Just a suggestion.

Really nice mod, ZN6, hard work is actually noticeable =D

I changed statusbar battery icon colour to blue in order to fit Sapphire theme (I'm using Style Z one) by editing drawables under SystemUI.apk, so here's the obvius question/suggestion:

Could battery icon colour (green by default) change according to Xperia theme just like you did with texts and toggles?

I mean like this:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shind12kl:
Hi I had this phone for while and bought the sandisk Ultra 32GB class 10 sd card when I got this awesome phone. However lately my phone was acting strange. For past 4 days my phone will randomly unmount SD card and notify me that it got disconnected. When I turn on the screen then it will shortly mount the SD card and does not show these problem. Not only that these is happening consistently and keeping my phone awake and draining my battery as well. I don't have picture with me since I format my whole phone and SD card but this will happen at least 20 to 30 times in a hour.

I used to use Saurom Project Hybird 1.3.2 before and I format everything, from TWRP, and installed CleanRom ACE 4.5 but it is still happening with same problem.

Is there any way to fix these problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alextorres06:
Same here

I have the same problem with a 32gb San disk, after searching all day the only conclusion I came up with is that sd card is going bad and needs to be replaced preferably for one that is not a SanDisk. I guess they are not compatible
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shind12kl:
Thanks. I was hoping that I didn't had to do that. Anyway do you have any other brand that is good?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alextorres06:
I guess your best bet would be going with a Samsung sd card just to avoid having problems in the future.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] juvenile43:
I'm having the same problem it is not your SD card or at least I don't think so I read a different XD a thread for hey note 2 on a different carrier it was over 17 pages long of people having the exact same issue some say that the SanDisk 32 they are so then and that put in a piece of paper behind them will solve the problem but I'm not finding that word besides I find it funny it only does this when my phone is in sleep or when I'm in a phone call it is very annoying I currently am being told I have a blank SD card and sometimes later it may just work for no reason
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RotBot:
If you're getting heavy Media Server battery usage with the unmounts, it's could be a bad media file on your SD card crashing the Media Server and causing the unmounts.

I deleted podcasts, videos, and mp3s off of my SD card and the error went away. A clean format of the card should also work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shind12kl:
I dont think that was my case. I format the sd card and keep it empty and mount the sd card and it was still having the problem. However when I change my sd card to my old one the error when away. I guess I got bad sd card.

Hey Everyone...

Nice to meet you al.. ^_^

I have a HTC One X (International Version) and i would like to root it so i can use certain apps like titanium backup.. and so i searched through internet and found many tutorials.. and of those some of them said this rooting no longer works.. so im not sure which guide to folllow.. and also i want to clear some doubts of mine before starting the rooting process...

1. If i root my mobile will it void the warrenty??? Within a few months my warrenty will be over so i dont mind.. but just wanted to know...

2. How to Root it? any detailed guide will be helpful...

3. Will rooting erases my data in the phone like contacts, calender entries, music etc.

4. After Rooting can i update my phones software like usual... or should i root again after updating???

5. After rooting can i use my device to transfer files to and from my desktop?? cuz in one website its written tat we cant transfer files after rooting...

Hope you guys can clear my doubts...

Thanks.. ^_^
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
1. Yes

2. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1604439

3. Rooting itself not, but unlocking the bootloader will erase the phone back to stock factory settings

4. If you just root the phone and make no changes to system apps like removing bloatware apps then you only have to flash back the stock recovery to be able to update. But you MUST do a NANDROID BACKUP right after flashing the custom recovery

5. Yes you can ...
[HTC One X] syaoran7li:
Thanks for the reply... ^_^

Thanks for the link to the guide....

abt the 3rd question... as u said rooting doesnt earse data but unlocking bootloader erases... but then in the guide u sent me in the pic there are 5 steps to root right and the 5th step is unlocking bootloader... so it means rooting will earse data also???

4. I did not quite understand it.... what to do if i want to remove bloatware apps??

Thanks for clearing my all other doubts.. ^_^
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
3. The first 5 steps (left top corner of the picture) are only to unlock the bootloader, you can't root a phone without a unlocked bootloader.

4. Well bloatware is considered as crap apps that a carrier installs to the rom/phone (if you are locked to one like vodaphone or TMobile) when you remove those apps you can not longer update with that rom. That's why you have to make a nandroid backup from the stock Rom because you need it when you want official updates later.

Here you can find more info about rooting,flashing and updating
