I think the u need u edit this (SystemUI.apk/res/layout/tw_status_bar_expand.xml)

Then android:background='#XXXXXXXX' ..to the color u want..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NimeniAltu:
I'm on ICS AOSP so there's no tw resources:D i tried looking into statusbar_Expanded but didn't found anything
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gameboy21:
Oops..i saw TW icons.. :P

Check here (res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml) ..

EDIT: I know how to do it..u have that file i mentioned above.. ??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NimeniAltu:
yes i have status_bar_expanded.xml
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gameboy21:
Leave that..

First Decompile SystemUi.apk..

navigate to your values folder n then open drawables.xml..

It will look 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>

tried changeing color codes there too but did'nt work :|
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gameboy21:
Ahh.. :rolleyes:

I think this alternative would work..

First decompile Systemui.apk ..navigate to values n then drawable-mdpi.. then change {status_bar_expand_default.png} to your black background custom image..{let the name be same..just replace with black bg pic..}

Then res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml ..

<FrameLayout android:id="@id/notification_panel" android:background="@drawable/status_bar_expand_default" android:paddingTop="@dimen/notification_panel_padding_top" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/notification_panel_margin_left" }

I think this will work.. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NimeniAltu:
Tried that but status_bar_expanded.xml is different also tried to change some of android:background="" codes to black but no changes on transparency:D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gameboy21:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NimeniAltu:
Yes

Sorry for my english skills +(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
I'm out of ideas then...

I never heard of anybody getting 'hardbricked' (via a corrupted or deleted bootloader) before, just by receiving an official OTA on a stock unrooted device (but I suppose anything is possible) - but this unpleasant scenario is looking increasingly likely, unfortunately.

What condition was the battery in (charge level) before you accepted the update?

And you're sure you've tried to get into BOOTLOADER/FASTBOOT mode correctly (VOL-DOWN button, hold and press the POWERBUTTON).

cf., also...

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, lavash19...

I really must stop responding to posts or threads with the word 'bricked' in the title... it invariably seems to mean bad news. And I really hate delivering bad news... it's depressing:(.

But unless a more knowledgeable member can shed more light on your predicament, it doesn't look good I'm afraid.

Your Nexus 7 sounds like it's hardbricked.

... and there's not much that can be done with it... except perhaps try to RMA/exchange it with Google.

-----

What's odd about your situation, is that you where just updating it NORMALLY via an OTA update.

...it wasn't rooted, it wasn't running a custom ROM... and I assume the BOOTLOADER hadn't been unlocked.

Something unexpected just went wrong with the OTA update.

This means you weren't in violation of your warranty.. and you should thus be perfectly entitled to a replacement.

Sorry I couldn't be be of more assistance...

Good luck.

I've to unroot my xperia sole and return to stock firmware.

I've read a lot of topic but I have to clarify some things:

2)Can I use this as stock firmware?

-flash stock firmware with flashtool

Is it correct?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aprilius20:
Hi there, first timer here. I'm hoping that XDA will be able to help with this question since I've noticed that there're are a few members who have the Xperia S (XS)and plan on switching to Xperia Z (XZ). Anyway, here goes:

Basically, I'm thinking of switching from XS to XZ.

However I've seen many complaints about how the loudspeakers and camera are subpar, or not as good as expected.

To be honest I don't care if the phone isn't that great. I'd be more than happy if it's better than my XS.

That being said, to the XS and XZ users on XDA, what do you say? I'd really appreciate some feedback on the following two points before I decide to buy.

1) Is the XZ camera better than the XS camera?

Edit: Well, actually, is it alright to say that it is a significant improvement?

2) Are the XZ loudspeakers better than those on the XS?

Or do they sound better (yes, I know this is really subjective...)?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtechfan:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakalek:
I'm coming from XS too.

S was (is) a great phone.

Z is superior to S.

1) Camera in certains conditions can easy outperform S.

2) Speaker sounds good when mobile left on the table etc in landscape mode watching videos etc. Its a bit better when it comes to sound quality, but can't see really difference in volume levels. With headphones it outperforms S aswell.

Screen, battery life. Everything is better. Plus, forget about lag. Nova launcher does the job more than perfect.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aprilius20:
Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

I've made the switch from S to Z. Feels good so far :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumbojumbo01:
:confused:

I am ready for a new phone... but can still wait for a couple new months.... Want to get the Nexus 4 --- stuck on SGS2 and G2X.

I know the Google I/O is in May, so trying to figure out, wait till May - to see what happens, and then buy a new phone in May (if a new one comes in at that time).. or does the new Nexus not really become available till late in the year for purchase.. about Oct/Nov.

If its that long, I would rather by the N4 right now.

Any Ideas from you guys?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atulalvenkar:
AFAIK, Google never released a Nexus smartphone at I/O. Nexus phones are usually released around Oct/Nov. Nexus 4 was released last Nov. I wouldn't expect another Nexus phone in May. There might however be a Motorola phone during I/O, but I don't think it'll be a Nexus device.

You can expect a successor for Nexus 7 as it was released last I/O.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qazibasit:
When they feel the need of more money....

Changing the vendor for the nexus device is just not working for them. This time even they cheated the customers with n4 with all the junky hardware when they knew that new arm designs are coming just after a month.

So a futuristic hardware is what we all need.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
I have no idea what you're talking about. Nexus devices are intended to be reference devices to showcase the latest versions of Android in their stock, unfettered form. They're for developers. Nexus devices (outside of the Nexus One) have never been top of the line in terms of hardware. They don't need to be. Nexus isn't marketed as a premium brand, nor does it have the premium brand price tag that comes along with it. My God, they're selling the Nexus 4 for $299 8GB and $349 16GB off contract. What do you expect for that price?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
I fail to see where the Nexus 4 hardware is "junky."
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
You won't see a new Nexus phone before fall. So if you want a Nexus, pull the trigger on an N4. It's a great phone, the price is right, and you're basically guaranteed Android version updates through at least the middle of next year.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtoy09:
Subjective opinion is subjective.

As for ETA of Nexus 5, I too doubt Google will announce it at Google I/O. Although it has been done before (HTC Dream), recent trend shows Google I/O focuses more on tablets. But you never know, just be patient.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -A-P-M-:
We will see, last year Google launched two tablets. Rumours are that Motorola X will be launched on Google I/O. I hope they will, but if you need a phone now, N4 is still very good choice.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan stewart:
Like said by most, look more for the fall for a true Nexus device. This might talk about KLP but not new hardware on the phone, maybe preview an update to the tablet though.

There is a thanks button but is there a "ignore this person who has no clue" button?

Junky hardware? The most recent marketed ARM architecture in a quad core phone with a decent GPU, spangly glass back, HD screen and all for nearly the subsidized price of every other phone on the planet (the SGS3 is like $600 without carrier subsidy).

This phone is easily the bargain of the century, which is probably why Google was caught off-guard when they launched it. The previous Nexii were only bought by nerds, now I know a dozen people who used other Android phones or iPhones that jumped to unrooted Nexus 4s just because of the cost savings.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumbojumbo01:
Thank you guys... as I stated, I can easily put of a couple of months, its mainly the G2X that is killing me and want to replace that....but if its till fall, then I might as well bite the bullet and get this one.. instead of waiting till later on.

does anyone think the Motorola phone will be thru google also.. or would that be thru carriers? because I am DONE with carriers.. want it straight from the source.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan stewart:
Right now its sounding like its not going to be a Nexus, so no guaranteeing that its going to be on the cutting edge of Android. Also, it might be available unlocked but I suspect it wont be unlocked for $300/350. Probably more like the $600 everything else goes for unlocked.

Even if it was only $400 Id rather have the Nexus 4. Every rumor seems to be stuck on the Tegra chip, I have had two devices with Tegra chips and both were massive disappointments. Qualcomm seems to be really good at beating Nvidia in the mobile space without breaking a sweat.

Ditch the carriers now, its amazing how satisfying it can be. Not only is your bill cheaper but you always know in the back of your mind that if they ever angered you that you could tell them to shove it at any time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumbojumbo01:
Yeah .. I am ready to ditch the carriers... just need to have my number ported over to GVoice so that I can keep my number....unless there is another method?

How does keeping your number work with prepaid?

And Yeah I am going to go ahead and get the Nexus then, since fall is too far away to deal with G2x --- cant believe its another LG I am going to go to after that fiasco
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan stewart:
You can port it to pre-paid as well, they are still under the rules set by the portability act. Being said you might as well just port it to GVoice and use that. Then you could change carriers and sims at will without worrying about the number.

One thing to note, voicemail is a bit wonky with pre-paid because only AT&T right now supports conditional forwarding, so if someone got a hold of the actual phone number you will get an old fashioned voicemail instead of GVoice. Otherwise it works well (I call out using the app). Calling the Google Voice number though gets you the transcribed voicemails.

I am with straight talk and can flip back and forth at will between AT&T or T-Mobile sims month to month based on where I am. I just cant flip numbers back and forth, so that is why the Google Voice number is key.

As far as the phone itself is concerned. I read the reivews (short and long term) for the Optimus the Nexus was made from and everyone, virtually unanimously, said it was an incredible phone let down by ****ty software. Well, making it a Nexus and putting vanilla android solved that. Add that stupidly low price and its a done deal.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qazibasit:
I agree to users who say that n4 offers this much in this price tag. If ur a price centered person then why not go for cheap huwavei phones they have even more to offer in half the price of n4.

Nexus should be a premium device sith futuristic hardware. A average hardware, means that samsung or other oem are giving u more futuristic device that can get more updates on a single version than nexus.

Price should not be a justification.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
The only Nexus phone that you could argue was top of the line at launch was the Nexus One. Nobody would argue that the Nexus S or Galaxy Nexus were top of the line at launch. They were great devices, but there were better out there, even at the same price point. As I said earlier, Nexus devices are not, nor are they intended to be, premium devices.

Price is ALWAYS a justification.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldebot:
I was in the same boat. Bought the LG G2X from TMO at launch which was a Wednesday and returned it by the following Monday. I swore I would never buy another LG device. I struggled with the decision of purchasing my N4 since they first announced them but the price was just right. Also managed to get one from TMO for less than $175, another reason is the one year warranty and next day delivery for replacements. Let me tell you I could not be happier with my N4(for the exception of covering this beautiful device with a case). Build quality is really good and have had only 1 problem which was screen bleeding and was replaced within a few days. I am a medium user and my battery lasts at least 12 hrs which is good enough for me.
