I can however help a bit more

upgrading to 7.8 will not permanently lock your device, it will however attempt to relock its self once its installed, this can be stopped by either applying the relock prevent xap again or by applying the unlock again

if you update the firmware then all is not lost, you can stil unlock or remain unlocked as mentioned above, if you hard reset though you will not be able to apply the dev unlock as you had originally done

course this is all academic now that all 2nd gen samsungs can be unlocked regardless of their firmware, search around the WP7 forum for the answers, it is harder than the original unlock by beggar's cant be choosers ;)
[Samsung Focus S] 7carisfast:
What is the latest (and presumed final) firmware version?
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
good question

the latest version I have install from zune is 2103.12.5.2 that's from may 2012
[Samsung Focus S] 7carisfast:
Any idea on how to push an update and what the updates actually fix? I'm at 2102.11.10.1 on AT&T US, but on 7.8
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
The only noticeable thing I found was the keyboard lag was gone, I'm sure there is more but that was the only big difference I saw
[Samsung Focus S] Dwightdre64:
demo content

i purchased a Focus S, and when i got it it was still locked. plus it seems to be in a demo-content mode. i would like to knwo why is this? plus i realised it couldnt update it via Zune, so i dloaded a program that allowed me to do so. now its running 7.8 but its still in the demos content mode. where it resets every 12hours or so.

is it possible to turn off this mode, or was i duped?
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
Good question, what is your OS and firmware version?

Demo mode suggests that its not a retail model, it may be lacking features.

however, if you are running exactly the same OS and firmware version then perhaps we can compare and find out what is making it restart. I suspect that its different versions though

Awesome! I now have 7.8 working on my Focus S with no problems to report.

Interop

This worked flawlessly on the first try for me.

one problem though (or question)...

i was attempting to do an interop unlock, however i forced another backup not realizing that the original 7.5 backup would have been overwritten...

since i'm now faced with the samsung wireless manager apn list being empty issue, how do i go about getting the software downgraded without the backup or getting the interop unlock without the samsung wireless manager blocking the entire process? :confused::confused:
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
Use the new method of unlock on the wp7 root tools web site, it allows the phone to be unlocked even if you have updated the firmware.
[Samsung Focus S] sanikdream:
noob

thanks for the reply...

been doing a bit of research. Please correct me if I'm wrong...

Isn't this the method you're referring to? >>> http://wp7roottools.com/index.php/d...rop-unlock-for-2nd-gen-samsung-wp7-devices-v3

2 methods are listed here... both of which require an APN switch for the unlock to be complete...
[Samsung Focus S] erc.jns:
Like it but I'm not sure if my phone is unlocked

I flat out ught the phone and got a Net10 unlimited card and it works well but I'm at 7.5 and 11.10.1 and I would like to update it but I'm not sure this is the way, Ive only had the phone a few days but I do want the newer software...your opinion will be helpful to the newbe
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
that's the one, I don't understand why your not able to change the APN, the wireless manager is still on the market place

the process of the V3 unlock adds the correct settings to the APN settings, so if you had problems before on the older update process, you should try the new one anyway
[Samsung Focus S] sanikdream:
apn

I'm working off this post from wpcentral... i hope there's another way

http://forums.wpcentral.com/samsung...firmware-update-if-you-straight-talk-etc.html
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
That's all obsolete now, the firmware did bugger it all up but the new v3 method bypasses the problem
[Samsung Focus S] sanikdream:
lost

i guess im the only one with the problem. The APN list remains empty no matter what i do. Tried both methods. It only shows AT&T 4G as the active APN...

is there any hope for me?
[Samsung Focus S] goldenpipes:
I have 2 focus s' on at&t and the son list shows at&t 3g and 4g so the toggle truck worked for me.

Do you have any friends/family/co-workers with t-mobile or prepaid sim? You should be able to get this to work.

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

edit:

are you unchecking the automatic apn option to make the selection box active?
[Samsung Focus S] sanikdream:
i have the automatic APN option unchecked...

i'm using a Digicel sim (in Jamaica we have digicel and lime)... also tried with a lime sim and no difference...

i added the network's 4g settings in Settings>Cellular and data works... the wireless manager refuses to show anything different
[Samsung Focus S] sanikdream:
Figured it out... Had to reset twice. Wouldn't work unless I reset without a sim inserted. Toughest Part was figuring out how to get Samsung zone to show in the marketplace... Once u get to that point... Everything works like it should... Still don't understand tho, I'm no longer able to see the APN list as described before... good thing I got the unlock before inserting a sim

Update fail

I just tried the update and it failed. I have Windows Phone 7.5 and OS version 7.10.8773.98 for my Samsung Focus S. When I first ran the seveneighter.exe I was prompted to install the Windows 7 Update tools, which I did (it automatically downloaded) and then I ran the installer again. It ran for a few minutes, rebooted, and then I got an error that said "Timeout occured while waiting for the device to reboot" I forced the reboot and nothing. Still on 7.5

Unzip this file on your desktop then copy it and then run it on your device and i think you will not have any problems running PHM Registry Editor

I am a beginner and also suffering with the same problem as Puff. After downloading the zip file the phm registry editor still seems to act as a sort of software remove/install program.

Ok I flashed the Transparent Status Bar for Sense and then the AOSP signal icons and the signal icons flash reverted the transparency. I tried it two different ways. My guess isthey have to be in one zip modified together. Thanks for doin the mods for us!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mentose457:
The AOSP signal icons is a ZipThemer zip. Follow the directions in the OP to make a flashable zip from it. If you did, but before you flashed the transparent status bar, you need to do it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mds96:
Dangit, sorry, I didn't even think about redoin it! Derp..Sorry man

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

Worked perfect!!! Also I just noticed that the brightness slider is gone also! Everything is EXACTLY how I wanted it!! Thanks for makin this even more awesome! All that is left is lockscreen and settings icons and this will be complete!! Which I know you're working on! Thanks again!!

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

I think you and Beans should do some work together! That and these mods would also be awesome on Eclipse when it gets updated!!

Preview: Cyan Lockscreen

The charging text is located in an xml somwhere in the layout folder, I just havent found it yet. The google now icon has me scratching my head. There are several icons in the drawables folders that look exactly like the one that needs to be changed but they do nothing. As soon as I fix these two issues ill post it here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
It's tied into whatever Google search you use. Sometimes it's called velvet.apk and some ROMs use a different one. It took me awhile to figure it out on CleanROM. Where exactly was the aosp lock screen clock and weather? I'm presuming it's somewhere in res/layout? Wish they could have just put the images in like the stock lockscreen clock and weather...

Framework-res/res/drawable-xhdpi...files start with keyguard
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mds96:
Settings icons are AWESOME man, thank you! Lockscreen in cyan looks great also!! I have one more mod idea, lol! Cyan clock and date in the notification pulldown header! I forgot to ask ya about that one the other day, lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
I tried modding all those key guard files to no avail. Even the zzz lock screen clock. I'm guessing it might be tied into an XML somewhere... I am running CR 6 with a bunch of mods so it might be different. Thanks though blackness...

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mentose457:
Wow! I never would have looked there. I did look in both SystemUI and twframework to no avail.

I havent pined down where the xml change is yet. :laugh: I got frustrated and started changing any hex code that started with '#ff' in all of the xmls from the multiple lockscreen MOD by Diact74. Turns out that there are only three that match that search criteria: keyguard_acer_tab_unlock.xml, keygurad_bb__unlock.xml, and keyguard_screen_htc_tab_unlock.xml. I also changed keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml because it had a similar nomenclature as the others. I have a hunch it is in the last xml. I will narrow it down during my lunch break today.

Thanks again for the google now clue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
no problem, i know just from trying to change the colors on mine, i got all the other shortcuts colored blue but google remained white. i got a tip that it was linked somehow to google now and somehow i got it to work. lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mentose457:
The XML you need to edit in order to change the AOSP lockscreen date city and temp is keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mds96:
The cyan lockscreen is awesome, thank you! Just a heads up, the alarm text and owner info text are still white. I'll post a screen for ya

Is there anyway to get a red TW theme on this rom? I've tried these themes http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2008601 and they cause UI crashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] o0BlacknesS0o:
Yes... Download the themes then extract the the entire package then remove every file in the theme or themes you want to use that doesn't end with .png then zip the entire package back up and flash

Just be prepared it's a bit time consuming if you extract and then rezip on your phone

Thank you Sire Mentose
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Thanks. Ive got a new status bar mod up. It is a ZipThemer zip so it can be added to any MODs you have already applied. Its a semi transparent status bar. It can be used whether you selected the Sense or Stock recent menu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mds96:
I'm liking the 50% status bar! Good call!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] o0BlacknesS0o:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ridavid81:
Thanks so much looks amazing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I'm not sure how to do that. Though I've got some pretty good Googling skillz. I'll look it up and get back to you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
So I've got this figured out. It was quite simple actually, only three xml edits. Two of which are required for a transparent bar.

Because I dont have time to take background image requests Im going to make ONE stock and ONE sense SystemUI.apk (sadly i cant make it a ZipThemer zip) for you guys to flash. It will have a black background image like stock. Then I will make a short tutorial on how to make your own ZipThemer zip so you can create and flash your own unique status bar background image. Look for a zip later tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mattrleaf:
Sweeeet! Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I cleaned up the OP and added the status bar image. Let me know if it works for you or if you need any help. Enjoy.

Blackness has brought to my attention a small flaw in the zips. There is no brightness slider. *facepalm* He has also suggested a better way to package the mods. I will fix this tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mds96:
Haha I thought you removed it on purpose, or I would have told you sooner! Glad I got it before ya fixed it causeI like it w/o it! Keep up the great work!

Ive been letting my sister borrow my s3 since she broke hers. I just got it back today. Im going to make all the ZipThemer zips VR themer zips then ill look into the battery thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
The OP has gone through an overhaul. Most zips are now VR Themer zips. They are flashable zips that usually don't affect other MODs you have already installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mds96:
Will you do holo blue clock and date in the notification pulldown? Glad you got your phone back!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I can do that. It won't be till this evening though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Cyanified the expanded status bar header. I cannot change the 'auto' text or the 'no notification' text without breaking the other status bar mods. Im considering building a zip with all of the cyan changes so those and other changes id like to do can be included.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mds96:
Awesome! Thank you!

---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

I have two more requests if you're up for it, lol. Sorry I'm full of ideas! 25% or 50% transparency in pulldown, including the header, toggles, and pulldown bar. Also, the where the aosp notifications are cyan, make those black, and where they are gray, 50% or 75% transparency. As before, if they are not possible, no big, just ideas. Thank you for doing all these awesome mods for us, much appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BeansTown106:
great job on these bud! really diggin them :) uploading build 14 now should all still be fine as there isnt really any ui changes the only asthetic thing that changed is settings i added in another custom settings panel next to rom control
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Thanks for the heads up! Iooking forward to build 14.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mds96:
The only mod I'm having trouble with on Build 14 is the transparent and 50% transparent status bars. They cause systemui fc's. Everything else I've used works good. Just a heads up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] o0BlacknesS0o:
Just use the image version and replace the image with a transparent image

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mds96:
I'll try it later. Thank you both. I read that in the OP, and would have already tried it, but I'm at work. Just wanted to let ya know about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mds96:
Sorry for posting the wrong file. This is the correct one per mentose457. Here is a 50% transparent status bar for Jelly Beans Build 14. Tested and working great! Thanks to mentos457's tutorial in the OP, and using the app Image Editor from the Play Store, it workd very similar to PhotoShop!

Have to use Zipthemer in the Playstore, and use the Zipthemer tutorial in the OP

http://db.tt/DlmXyP97
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Thanks for picking up the slack. In order for someone to use your status bar image you need to upload the ZipThemer zip. The one you posted is the processed update zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
Just a heads up, once tweak box is enabled, signal indicator turns grey (from white or blue). Not sure if this happens before this mod is flashed, but that's what I've narrowed it down to. I would assume it has to do with the 'number of signal bars' option. Needless to say, I picked your status bar mods over tweakbox :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Looks like the tweakbox status bar coloring is incomparable with my transparent status bar. I assume it is also incomparable with the 50% transparent and image status bar mods.

Im pretty sure that I can fix the signal indicator when you have 4 bars selected. Done and Uploaded. 6, Im not sure. <- I dont think its possible as there are no images in SystemUI.

Clock color and input method switcher seem to work fine with my mods.

I updated transparent and 50% transparent status bar mods for B14. Although they are depreciated due to the inclusion of tweakbox, I will leave them up till the next iteration of beans rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mds96:
You're welcome, and thank you for the tutorial, files, and for letting me know I posted the wrong file! Lol...Updated my original post with the proper file :) Dangit you already redid yours! Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] burntrat:
i thought i followed the steps, but saw a black status bar after the final flash. turns fully transparent after unlock. now i have to look for a different wallpaper because white is horrible now. thanks man. hope these options get baked into the future beans roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
Thanks for this. The signal cluster was driving me nuts. I was wondering if its possible to get the wallpaper in settings themed. Its currently black and true aosp is a detailed wallpaper. Anyone else notice this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
The bg image on cm is a black/grey gradient. Is that what you want? I'm pretty sure I can do it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] akakai:
defin. makes it looks complete.

Not trying to be picky, but the grey part of the gradient is a little high. it looks 50/50 each color. :)

Is this gradient taken from an AOSP rom?

Its usually 70/30.

But still looks great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
The image wasn't taken from an AOSP ROM. I rummaged through several apks looking for it but was unsuccessful. Anyway I OP updated with a better positioned gradient.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
You nailed it. Looks perfect.

does this color in the messaging window aslo jw

If you are referring to the gradient then yes. it changes the aosp messaging background.
