You lose DRM. So back up TA partition prior to unlocking. A few Sony apps will cease to work if you don't back up and you'll lose warranty in case you want to go back to stock.

Hi all

How can I change the call screen with the green color annoying little man?

I know there are apps in playstore but I don't want to appear something above the stock call screen, just to color different the call screen, is there any way?

I'm on stock 4.4.2 rooted of course:)

Someone talked about incallui.apk, is this true? Do I need to de-apk this and re-apk it?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Well that's a bit vague. But I presume that you are talking about the default (place holder) image that appears for calls /callers that do not match a customized contact.

I have no idea if anyone has made an app that would let you edit this. But if you are rooted, you could indeed replace the icon in incallui.apk

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
And the whole green color around this…
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
It's unclear what you mean. Make a screen shot and point out the part you are referring to.

If it isn't something that is incorporated into the standard Android settings, then it would require a custom modification. This is referred to as theming. Icons are not difficult to replace, but changing colours and layouts can be.

So first clarify what you are talking about.

You will probably end up needing to search for existing themes that suit your taste.

Or you can learn how to theme it yourself.

It would be an esoteric request, so don't expect that a themer necessarily has time to make an unique custom theme for each and every member in this forum.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
I

I m talking about this screen when calling or receiving a call

Black or something other than this "ancient" green and blue buttons:)

I dont mind much about the "guy" (which I know is the contact photo), though I dont mind learning where I can change this too:)

Not in a certain contact, just to replace the general contact photo with the guy!

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Apapapa. I would think that a Greek would celebrate "ancient" tradition more.

You wish to theme the dialer - change the standard OS colours used there. So a search of XDA for themed S5 dialers would be in order. If you want an all black theme, that is called inverted or perhaps transparent (which would let a black wallpaper fill the background).

Alternately, you could install the new Google 4.4 dialer.

Or if you'd like to learn how to theme yourself, search for some theming tutorials. There is a bit of a learning curve.. but if you are stubborn, you'd pick it up fast enough.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
Where are you from mate? This "apapa" reminds me of Greece:)

The photo that I ve sent is the calling or receiving a call screen, my dialer is already themes since I started using exdialer, so no prob with the dialer!

Come on mate, pay a little attention to my screenshot:)

I found out through searching that I need to edit the incallui.apk, so I ll try to get around and find more tutorials for theming and decompiling apk!

Thanks for your help my friend!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] havock99:
use contacts+. you will get a cool all black dialer.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Most people would theme all of the call components. Not just incallui, which we already talked about. But also the dialer. And contacts too for that matter. Attention to detail, not just the one screenshot that you posted.

I don't recall you mentioning that your dialer was already themed and was encouraging you to theme all of the call packages.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
Aha, you are talking about the stock dialer which is themed together with the screen I want to be changed!

Understood now!

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
Too many options just to theme the call screen:) Nice though…

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnnyV84:
Hey guys

So i recently updated my S3 to 4.4.2 (about 2 weeks ago) and my battery life has become completely horrible afterwards. My phone is rooted and im using the stock Telus 4.4.2 update.

Some days the battery seems ok and other days its completely terrible. Yesterday and today for example i charged up my phone over night (like ive always done), and within an hour the battery dropped about 20% and i did nothing but check the weather for today.

Someone told me there was a camera issue and to just open and close the app and that would fix that issue...... made no difference. I dont have skype installed since i heard there was a battery drain issue with that app as well.

The only thing i have running in the background constantly is WeatherBug, WidgetLocker, NiLS, & GSAM Battery Monitor (both of which i used before the update to 4.4.2). I tried rebooting into recovery mode and clearing my cache and that made no difference either.

I even use an app called Greenify to put some apps in hibernate that i dont use often.

I have location turned off (like always) and i changed all my sync settings to sync only the stuff i need (work email and contacts basically). I dont have the cloud setup to backup anything, nor do i have anything setup under Backup and Reset either (again like always).

I have very limited data so ive gone though every single app under Data Usage and told them all to restrict background data. Im on wifi 99% of the time anyways (at work and home. the only time im not on wifi is when im driving). Ive turned off the stupid HP and Samsung print service plug-ins as well.

The only thing i really do on my phone is check my email when it comes through (which is set to sync every hour). Mayyyybe the odd quick facebook check, and text back and forth with my wife. And whenever im not using the phone i always lock it immediately after, otherwise the screen timeout is set to 30 seconds. Ive also got my brightness adjustment set to low.

Basically im at my wit's end on what to try next. Here are a couple screen shots ive just taken. Please help?

Edit: I should also mention that before i updated to 4.4.2 i was on 4.3 and my battery life was way better. At the end of the day i would be at roughly 30-50% battery life on average. It all depends on what i did with my phone during the day. I also notice that for some reason when the battery gets below 40-50% now it will drop off like crazy, especially when im at home for some reason.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Well the stats you posted don't look bad.

To really know what's draining your battery though, you should install BBS (BetterBatteryStats), which can be found on here, in the app section. Let it monitor a full charge and post the results.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnnyV84:
Alright i'll install that and post the results when i get them.

Same issue with 4.4.2 update

I took the OTA 4.4.2 update and my battery life took a big dump as well as the battery / phone started getting hot. At first I just thought my extended 4200 mah battery was on the way out ....so I bought a new one and still have the same problem. So upset that I took that update ....and surprised not to find more complaints here. I assume I can go back to 4.3 or whatever the previous version is ?? Anyone have any suggestions??

(Conspiracy theory) This is probably AT&T 's way of getting people to buy new phones.

The SG3 is stock / unrooted
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plguzman:
Ok, since my G2 lost the capability of call recognition after installing CloudyG3, I would like to know if some other dialer could be used instead (like ExDialer, it recognizes the person perfectly, but the incoming call brings up the default dialer).

Its very annoying that only the number appears even if the contact is storaged.

The screenshot its a call from my own house... Appears as an "unknown" contact. Changed number format, still the same.

Any ideas?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] theofficialpimp:
So I just bought this phone from tmobile and rooted it and flashed TWRP. Everything worked fine when I booted it with root access and everything. it started a bootloop after I tried to backup to external SD upon first reboot.

Is there anyway to revert back to pure stock? That means stock firmware (4.3) and stock recovery . So basically , I want it to be the same as I bought it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
Sure, that's easy...

Just go to http://SamMobile.com or other trusted source and download

The Tmobile official stock NE1 Kitkat 4.4.2 firmware and flash it using

Odin.

Make sure you do a full wipe in recovery mode before odin flashing the

official stock firmware.

(wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, system and do a factory reset in recovery.)

Once you have done that successfully your phone will be official stock.

Good luck!

How do you freeze SoundAlive?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
You can either freeze it with Titanium Backup Pro or use a root explorer and rename the app soundalive.apk to soundalive.bak. It's located in the system/priv-app folder. On a side note have you all set ViperFX as the default music effects in settings/sound/music effects? Viper runs great for me. As for including it in the ROMs it needs to be made a data app and not a system app so it can be uninstalled if desired. I started to do this and hope other devs who include it in the ROM will follow suit.

When I go to settings/sound/ there is no music effects option listed.

You need to add MusicFX.apk back to the system/priv-app folder to get the Music Effects menu back and SoundAlive.apk if you want Sound Alive back in the Music Effects menu. Then reboot. Otherwise ViperFX will show up in the Music Effects menu once MusicFX is added back. You should also be more specific to witch ROM you are referring to, it might have been added back in a newer version.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanos kary:
root?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaZiODROID:
When you say you want to root, it means that you want to root the current system that you are on. But from what you have described in this thread, you are currently having a problem with your phone, where it does not boot normally into the system/ROM. You boot straight into Clockworkmod Recovery, every time. Correct? If this is correct, then rooting your current ROM probably won't help your situation (because you are not able to boot normally into the system).

Slimkat is a ROM that has root access included. I believe that pretty much any custom rom has root included. I'm not sure what you mean when you say that slimkat does not support your Z1 compact. You should be able to flash Slimkat to your Z1 Compact. The link from my previous post points to the Slimkat thread, which is in the Z1 Compact Original Android Development forum, so it is made for Z1 Compact.

That said, you don't need to choose Slimkat - I provided that just as an example of a custom rom that has a custom kernel included. Look through the Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development forum for custom roms that use custom kernels. Most of those roms have the custom kernel included in their ZIP. Whichever custom rom you choose, make sure to READ the original post (and other posts if necessary) to get the information you need on how to install it, or to find out what files you will need for that ROM (as some roms have add-ons and stuff you may find interesting).

There are also ROMs that are stock-based. Those can be found in the Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development forum. These roms also have root included, and are built to run on the standard stock Sony kernel. Some of them may be based on a specific stock Sony kernel version, so pay attention to that.

If you want to start over, and flash a pure stock Sony ROM to your phone (also known as an FTF), you can do that at any time by downloading an appropriate FTF for your phone, and flashing it by loading the FTF with FlashTool. It will then ask you to put your phone into FlashMode (which is done by making sure the phone is OFF, then holding the VolDown button, and connecting the USB cable while still holding the VolDown button. Once the flash begins, you can let go of the VolDown button) But !! Please note that if you haven't used FlashTool before, you will need to install some drivers. They are included with FlashTool, in a folder called Drivers. You would choose the driver specific to your phone, plus the FlashMode driver, plus the Fastboot driver. If you are using Windows8, you will have to do some extra work to get those drivers to install correctly. It involves booting Win8 into a mode where Driver Signature Enforcement is disabled, then installing the drivers found in the drivers folder of FlashTool. You can easily find out how to do that by searching online.

Hope this helps... don't make any risky flashing moves if you aren't certain about them - just keep reading and searching and you will eventually find the answers you need.
