[HTC Droid DNA] xvicedice:
the file you need to mod is status_bar_expanded.xml

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.NotificationPanelView

you can set transparency by changing the android background color hex

I added a new background so the resource would define color by drawable rather than style... i did this for the reason it is easier for the average user to mod themselves.
[HTC Droid DNA] ickedmel:
Nice mod still getting the shuttering when opening the drawer no biggie.
[HTC Droid DNA] rayjr13:
the systemUI mods have a permission set for Prism.apk. I'm assuming that is a typo in your updater script and you meant to set the permissions for SystemUI since that's what is being flashed.
[HTC Droid DNA] xvicedice:
that is correct it will not make a difference anyway, thank you for pointing it out though
[HTC Droid DNA] rayjr13:
I wasn't trying to be a prick or anything. What I meant to ask is I guess is does the SystemUI apk. need to have those permissions set?
[HTC Droid DNA] xvicedice:
I know you wasnt being a prick apologies if my message sounded snappy... The permissions are already set in the system anyway.. I always set permissions in zips incase any issues... The zip has been tested numerous times so works perfect... Let me know if you need anymore help.

Regards

hey [MENTION=689411]xvicedice[/MENTION] im trying to get the transparent status bar (when closed) to match the transparency of your blinkfeed/app drawer mod. i was wondering if you could point me to the drawable/xml file. thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] xvicedice:
no worries what level of transparency are you looking for? - its more than likely in the values/drawables folder under something like status_bar_bg.. if not i thing on the sense based roms they are png files due to the open close of statusbar.. in the case of the second i would look in the drawables folder for something like status bar on or something... if you have any issues let me knw
[HTC Droid DNA] [indiferenc]:
i'm just trying to get it to match your other mod, so 50%. it looks funny being fully transparent while blinkfeed/app drawer is 50% lol. i found status_bar_bg.xml but i'll have to wait till after work to decompile and try it. not too sure what to edit when i get there though :/ thanks for your help!

You can unlock the bootloader, root and install custom recovery without loosing your data. Refer the above link.

If you want to backup your apps then simply use adb. Just google it you'll be able to find it out. Make sure you have installed the proper drivers b4 proceeding.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] imsofinite:
Please forgive me, as I have not searched the forum extensively for an answer, but I'm in a bit of a time crunch as I am leaving on a trip tonight and need to get back to some semblance of a working phone.

Some time ago I flashed some rom (I think Paranoid Android; I don't remember. I liked it enough to keep it, then I didn't worry about it again after that.) Little by little it started getting slower and buggier, but for the most part it worked fine, so I ignored it. For the last couple of weeks it started losing signal and data constantly, with no change to the phone. I kind of just lived with it because I could usually restart my phone and I would regain signal, but as of a couple of days ago, it would just drop off and not come back until it wants to.

I had the day off to prepare for my trip, so I decided I would try to go back to stock; there's almost nothing that I do that requires a custom ROM and I had no data issues on stock, nor does my wife on her Note. I looked around for a bit for instructions to restore my phone, and found some, but out of the handful of pages I went to, each one had at least one link that was dead, rendering the method useless, to me, a layman, at least.

I then decided I would just find a Stock Rom, thinking that might be the next best thing. I found Clean Rom on here and decided to try to flash that. I made a backup of my system, wiped everything, and then flashed it. Except something is wrong with the zip and keeps giving me an error message. I then tried to restore my back up that I had just made to try something else, but something happened to that, and it also wouldn't open. I tried the backup before then (quite old, as I haven't done any tinkering with my phone for quite some time) and it worked, but it tells me that my sim card is disconnected, so I have no data or signal. As it is an old restore, I'm not sure what the name of the ROM is, but I can provide all of the information needed, if someone needs that to figure it out.

Anyway, long story slightly shorter: I need to fix this today, and like as soon as possible. I will give ten dollars, count them TEN DOLLARS, to the first person who can provide a set of working links and very straightforward instructions as to how to get back to stock (or if there is a good working ROM that will give me FULL functionality with no flares that would be easier to do. Easy and fast are the key components to this request). I'm not dumb, but I am no longer immersed in the lingo of this community, as it has been a few phones back that I really cared about actually experimenting much with my phone, so non-technical language would be nice. I know what flashing and wiping means. Most of the rest, probably assume I don't.

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Your best (easiest) option is probably to flash another stock ROM, or stock-ish ROM. There are quite a few options in the Android Development section. There are a couple of stock rooted at&t ROMs in the first couple pages, also a stock rooted Telstra ROM.

You didn't mention which carrier you're with, whether your phone is branded, or any of your important details, like your firmware/hboot details and whether you're s-on or not. If you wanted to go back to completely stock, I'd need to know those details. Going completely stock can/will be a longer process though.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] imsofinite:
Okay, I'll try another one. I'm not sure why Clean Rom didn't work, but if another one or two don't work I'll come back here and I'll have you talk me through getting back to stock and I'll throw you a digital Hamilton.

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] imsofinite:
Well, I tried another couple of ROMs. They installed correctly, but it says that I have no sim card, so I still have no signal. Maybe I some how deleted my radio when I did a system wipe while trying to install one of the ROMs? I'm not sure.

Anyway, for "more details" I'm on AT&T, I'm not sure what you mean by branded, but it's the HTC One X, the current ROM is 4.1.1. I haven't done S-On/S-Off, or anything like that other than unlocking the bootloader a long time ago. The kernel version says 304010-g240d4d5, the baseban version is 0.17.32.09.12_10.86.32.08L The Build number is 3.17.707.1 CL134054 release-keys.

I'm not sure which of that information is relevant or not, but that's everything I can tell you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] imsofinite:
Never mind that last post. When I said in the first post that I'm not dumb, apparently I lied. My phone fell off a table this morning, and I guess it knocked the sim card loose, but it coincided with doing the factory reset stuff, so I thought they were connected. I pushed it back in, restarted, and now the stock ROM I'm using works great.

Thanks/Sorry!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Well, it turned out to be an easy solution (Occam's Razor FTW yet again).

But this thread made me think . . . why the heck does it seem so many people lately flash ROMs without doing a nandroid first? Its a no brainer to me. If you are trying new ROMs, and not sure how they will perform, why would you not give yourself an easy way to simply revert to your last known good config?

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Severage:
I cant figure this out. My Xperia Tablet Z is perfect except for this issue. ANY browser I try, it starts out working buttery smooth, but after a few hours without the browser being closed and restarted, scrolling starts to become laggy, there starts to be text input lag, etc. Ive tried a lot, but Id rather not try a factory reset. Have a lot of stuff on it. Anyway.

Ive noticed a trend. When initially starting a browser, it takes up about 50 mb of ram. After using a browser for a while (even with a single tab open and never opening over 1 tab), the bowser grows in size until it takes up hundreds of mbs of ram. Next browser was taking up 400mb of ram and lagging horribly after a few hours before I restarted it, after taking up 50 mb of ram when initially opened.

Any ideas? This happens with chrome, dolphin, next, firefox, UC, etc, etc, etc.

Hi there.

After surfing all the possible forums, apply all recipes, failing all tries (with the complete reinstallations afterwards), I decided to ask, cause I am in the mood to crash the (physically) the phone.

I have a Desire S with the official WWE ICS 4.0.4.

I want to keep the official ICS and become root. Because I want to get rid of all the built-in apps I do not use; Chat Fb, Dropbox, etc.

Is there a way?

All the tutorials tried failed.

My phone is unlocked (officially via HTCDev).

When booted with Vol Down+Power this the information.

PS: I want to keep the official ROM. I do not want to install any other ROM.

I am in the middle of something hairy. When I had some rest (last week I spent more time with the bootloader and installing/deleting stuff), I'll read carefully all the instructions, be sure of understanding them, and I'll do it.

It worked perfectly. After achieving root I installed Clean Master and I could get rid of all the rubbishware installed with the ROM.

I began after the unlocking point as I had already the phone unlocked and everything went as smooth as silk.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersey:
Hello all,

Have been experiencing an annoying issue with what seems to be my Google account (I assume).

At least every other day I am getting an issue with downloading any updates from the Play store. I get the error 491 message. It also seems to effect the syncing of my Google account and my emails being received via Kaiten.

Once I restart the phone everything is fine...until it randomly happens again.

I have tried the usual problem solving such as wiping the dalvik cache, logging out of my Google account and signing in again but no joy.

I had enough last night and reflashed the latest UK rom and carried out a factory reset so that the phone was 'as new' but once again today I have had the above issues.

Is anyone else having this annoying problem???

Not sure what is causing it other than assuming it is my Google account as the internet and browsing is working well while these other problems exist.
