[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Quinny899:
Most people will be thinking "it's transparent by default isn't it?" by now

In some cases, no.

So here's a guide to make it so it is, using apktool

1.) Pull your current framework-res.apk using ADB to your folder where apktool is

2.) Run this command:

java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk

3.) When it's done, open the "bools.xml" file in framework-res/res/values

4.) Edit the following lines:

To make the homescreen bars transparent:

<bool name="config_enableTranslucentDecor">true</bool>

To make lockscreen bars transparent:

<bool name="config_enableLockScreenTranslucentDecor">true</bool>

BONUS:

To make lockscreen rotate:

<bool name="config_enableLockScreenRotation">true</bool>

To enable all rotation orientations:

<bool name="config_allowAllRotations">true</bool>

These are fairly easy edits, there might be some more that you want to do, have a look, but be careful (and "Dianne" is this Dianne if you're wondering)

5.) Go back to your command prompt and run

java -jar apktool.jar b framework-res

6.) Run this:

adb push framework-res/dist/framework-res.apk /sdcard/

7.) On the device, download ZipSigner and open it

8.) Choose /sdcard/framework-res.apk and the "platform" key, and then sign

9.) Go back to your command prompt and run the following commands:

adb root
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system
adb shell cp /system/framework/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.bak
adb shell cp /sdcard/framework-res-signed.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb reboot

NOTE: If you are on a low end device, you must add or change the build.prop to have this:

ro.config.low_ram=false

Thanks to lagloose for the heads up!

10.) Your device will reboot with the new framework installed. If it's bootlooping, use these commands:

adb root
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system
adb shell cp /system/framework/framework-res.bak /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb reboot

This will revert to the one before you installed

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rubikqj:
What does this mean? You have to have KitKat! Here is for example a screen of my lockscreen. As you can see the bars are translucent and there are only black shadows. Prior to making this change to framework-res I had two horrible and ugly black bars.

100% working!

I pulled the framework-res.apk from my current rom in system/framework,

Followed steps 2-5, I downloaded your flashable zip and replace the framework-res.apk with my compiled one (w/c is just enabling the transparent nav/status bar), flash through cwm and it worked! :D

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] nviz22:
Is anyone's T-Mobile service just suffering lately? I have had a terrible time with T-Mobile lately. My HTC One, before being replaced, couldn't send MMS or make calls because of "insufficient funds" even though my plan has unlimited for both. I got my phone replaced, and it was working for a few days, but then, I couldn't receive incoming calls. I had to switch my # like 4 times to no avail, the company retail location tried to get me to buy another 30 days and lose my money for the current month. I had to call the 1-800 #, they transferred my info and credit into a new account and the problem was solved. Here's the next issue: my dad cannot get phone calls to come in with his Galaxy Note II. It's insufficient when he cannot receive calls during work. I can get calls, but I am just annoyed with T-Mobile because they even refused to give me an unlock code even though I have used my HTC One in a time over 40 days and I have been with T-Mobile for years.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Shane_pcs:
You didnt say where you were. Might have a better response if you asked "Is t-mobile service getting worse in Ames, Iowa" or something similar. T-Mobile is always upgrading, so it could be that there is something going on around your location. Most of the times this is for the better, once you get past the preparation phase.

As for the unlock code, call them back and get another person. They are by far the best of the big 4 in unlocking phones. Tell them you are leaving the country and need to be able to use a foreign sim.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] nviz22:
I am in Miami, Florida. I doubt it is upgrading since two phones are "problems with the device" according to T-Mobile. I already replaced my old phone, so that was solved like I said, but their LTE coverage is really weak down here compared to the 40 up and 20 down other areas of the country see. I had problems again with my phone, but that was with my account for some odd reason, so my faith in T-Mobile is a little weak right now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ettepetje:
With the Note 3 being picky about chargers, and how much power it will draw from them:

Is there an app, or other means, to see at what speed the Note 3 is currently charging? Preferably something useful in a shop, when choosing between chargers.

Edit: I should have checked the Play Store beforehand I see, as there are several apps that seem to be useful. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaythenut:
best one is samsung charging current

just so you know i get 1250 on wall charger

and 450 on usb 2 /pc
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mad383Max:
But is this app accurate/compatible with the note 3? I too get 1250 charging rate on note 3, but it takes almost the exact same amount of time to charge as my note 2 with the app showing 1800.

To me, this suggests it is not showing the correct rate with the note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ettepetje:
From looking at several apps they all (crudely) estimate what the charging current is. I couldn't find an indication elsewhere either (Note 3 Settings menu, AndroSensor, SystemPanel). This could mean that the real value can only be gauged through a modified kernel/ROM.

Edit: i will check if any of these "charging current" apps are any use for (quickly) judging chargers in a shop.
[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 Questions & Answer] E_Phather:
As a long time lurker of the XDA forums, I've finally decided to get a user account become a member of the XDA community. I figured as my first post that it would make sense to start a central thread for the I437 which I have recently purchased (RIP captivate - you served me well), as this is a popular phone but somewhat of a struggle to navigate through what has been done with development without it's own subforum. As a stop-gap to getting a subforum, I will be attempting to maintain this thread so that new users of the i437 have an easier time getting into the real potential of this device.

THIS IS FOR THE US ATT GALAXY EXPRESS I437. THE I8730 IS A DIFFERENT PHONE WITH DIFFERENT INTERNALS AND DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT

For the sake of avoiding confusion, I'm going to request that we refer to this phone simply as the i437 or the ATT Express.

If the Nexus 5 is like the Nexus 7 or Galaxy Nexus development sections there will be a ton of roms. Unless there is some sort of encryption with bootloader or kernel that makes a root exploit hard to achieve. We already have custom recovery so that is a good sign.

Hi XDA Developers,

Is it possible to set the TabPageIndicator of ViewPagerIndicator to the center? Like this:

And is it possible to set the individual tab width and height? And set that tab to a drawable that support selected/pressed states?

I've not found it yet.

Thanks in advance.

The app on the image is Untis Mobile and can be found on the PlayStore.

I've already ask the creators how they do it but they said the app isn't open source. (But I have found in the source that they do it with TwoDScrollView, but I'm not sure)
[Java for Android App Development] PicomatStudios:
If you know how many tabs you have, then yes (use viewPager.setCurrentItem(total/2))

In terms of styling it, you could do something like this in values/styles.xml...

<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light">
</style>

<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<!-- ..... -->
<item name="vpiTabPageIndicatorStyle">@style/CustomTabPageIndicator</item>
</style>

<style name="CustomTabPageIndicator">
<item name="android:gravity">center</item>
<item name="android:background">@drawable/bg_tabindicator_statelist</item>
<item name="android:paddingLeft">8dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingRight">8dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingTop">12dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingBottom">12dp</item>
<item name="android:fadingEdge">horizontal</item>
<item name="android:fadingEdgeLength">8dp</item>
<item name="android:textAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.TabPageIndicator</item>
<item name="android:maxLines">1</item>
</style>
[Java for Android App Development] Alwaysup:
Thanks for the styling advice, I've now styled as I wanted. :good:

But when I do viewPager.setCurrentItem(5); (I've ten items) it stays on the middle and I'm not able to select a other day. (I call it in onPageScrolled). Is it possible that the item stays in the middle even if I scroll (just as the example)?
[Java for Android App Development] PicomatStudios:
Ah OK I see, as you scroll the selected one needs to be in the middle...

From memory I thought it did that by default, with the exception that if you're at either end of the list it won't scroll the screen unnecessarily.

Do you see something different ?

Looking at the ViewPagerIndicator test app (G. Play) if you go to Tabs/Default and scroll from Albums -> Songs, the selection will stay in the middle. Other movements won't since they are already on the screen.

In your case it might be possible to increase the number of days displayed (from 10 -> say, 20) to produce the same effect ?
[Java for Android App Development] Alwaysup:
When I add 20 items it stays on the middle but only from item 4 to item 17, item 1, 2, 3, 18, 19, 20 are not in the middle. See:

Can I add a 3 empty items (or empty space) to ensure that the first and last items are in the middle? Something like this (from the Untis Mobile app):

I'll really appreciate your help. :good:
[Java for Android App Development] PicomatStudios:
OK, that's the behaviour I would expect (no centering if scrolling not required)... I haven't tried altering that myself.

I was going to suggest posting an issue with the vpi guys but I can see you've already done that !

I suppose you could try programatically setting padding etc at the right points but I'm not sure how well that would turn out.

Hopefully someone will know on github. If not, there's probably no easy way.
[Java for Android App Development] Alwaysup:
I've tried to set programmatically the padding using android:paddingLeft and android:paddingRight in CustomTabPageIndicator but that doesn't work.

Indeed, hopefully someone will have an answer. I've also asked on Stack Overflow and they refer me to android-spinnerwheel. If I've no answers on this problem I will look into that.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] emckai:
Both TouchWiz and CyanogenMod gave me around a whole days use (about 3-5 hour screen on time). It all depends what you do with your phone throughout the day. If you browser the web, text and call you should last the whole day. But if you play games, text, call, etc and use your phone heavily, expect it to die out at around 12-15 hours.

The best option in my opinion would be getting extra batteries. Not extended batteries, if you don't want the extra bulk. Hyperion and Anker are excellent 3rd party battery manufacturers, you can carry the extra batteries around with you, in your backpack or even your pocket and use them if you need them.
