Extended theming to your settings

In this guide I will show you how to change ram usage bar color and pager tabs color to your favourite color

1. for changing ram usage bar color

Decompile your settings.apk and Navigate to

\Settings.apk\smali\com\android\settings\applications\[COLOR="blue"][COLOR="blue"]LinearColorBar.smali[/COLOR][/COLOR]

now search for

-0xff6634

replace --0xff6634 with your favourite color

To find smali equivalent of the color

download hex_to_smali_convertor.zip from attachment and open acc.hta type your favourite hex code and replace its smali equivalent thats it

like this :-

i.e In the above example replace -0xff6634 with -0xCC4A1B

2 .For changing the pager tab color

open settings.apk/res/values/colors.xml and add this at the end

[B]<color name="carbon_accent_dark">#[COLOR="Red"]ff9d4f93[/COLOR]</color>[/B]

replace ff9d4f93 with your favourite hex code( you can find easily hex equivalent in paint.net/photoshop )

recompile the settings

now again decompile the new settings.apk and navigate to

\Settings\smali\com\android\settings\applications\ManageApplications.smali

find

0x1060012

also open settings.apk/res/values/public.xml and find

<public type="color" name="carbon_accent_dark" id="[COLOR="red"]0x7f0a001a[/COLOR]" />

here replace 0x1060012 with 0x7f0a001a

thats it recompile everything and sign it and flash

Note :- the id 0x7f0a001a will be different for your rom

Hi pavan kr, I did follow your guide and try to modify my ROM as you said, but after I decompile your framework-res.apk successfully, I found there is no exist of framework-res.apk/res/values dircetory at all. My ROMis CM11 for HTC one X. I also check the other AOSP ROM, and again there is no framework-res.apk/res/values dircetory as well. How can that happen ? Thanks for advise.
[Android Themes] the_vanya1:
I dont have the 0x1060012 in ManageApplications.smali
[Android Themes] pavan kr:
If 0x1060012 is not present then search only for 0x10600 .

Always this must be a resource id linked with framework-res
[Android Themes] pavan kr:
AFAIK once you decompile the apk there exist values folder if you have installed proper framework-res.apk ...

Use newer version of apktool 2.0+ and try..
[Android Themes] the_vanya1:
Another metod

Settings\smali\com\android\settings\applications\ManageApplications.smali search

.local v4, tabs:Landroid/support/v4/view/PagerTabStrip;

- const v5, 0x1060012

and replace 0x1060012
[Android Themes] chihliouma:
Thanks for the answer. I guess you are right that the software I use previously is not really decomiple the file. But after I have tried to build up the whole environment with JAVA JDK, and apktool from the ground, and start the decompile process, it jumps to me some error such as below :

"Exception in thread "main" brut.androlib.AndrolibException: Multiple resources:........"

I tried to google but still not sure what's the issue there, can you advise me any website that I can learn to start the process correctly ? Thanks.

PS. atatched please find the framework-res.apk that Iried to decompile but fail. I hope the issue is not in the file itself.

PS2. I just tried to decompile some other apk file than this framework-res.apk, and it does decompile successfuly. Does that mean some native issue existing inside the framework-res.apk ???

Thanks for the reply.In fact, I did google and tried some similar guide websites and I almost can confirm that my enrionement setup and apktool installation is good to go because it seems decompile other apks are quite ok, but only problem is to decoplie the attached framework-res.apk. If you have time, I am wondering if you can help to try to decompile in your current enerionment system to see if my assumption is correct. Thanks.

Hi guys I just bought a m8 from T-Mobile and I haven't been getting notifications at all. The only time I get notifications is from sms and cloudmagic which is a email service. I have autosync on and made sure there's no setting that restricts background data and all that. I just don't get it. Anyone have any ideas? I'm on 4.4.3 stock unrooted.

Hello i just got my M8 yesterday and the phone is asking me for update which i been delaying this because im planning to root and s-off my phone, so I want to check if all OTA that our device got so far still rootables or should not take it, thanks in advance.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
You'll most likely be able to root and S-OFF your phone if you took it but as always it's best to do that BEFORE you take OTA's, or even better wait until someone elses does and see if anyone complains of not being able to S-OFF. Down side is you won't be able to take the OTA's at all after rooting and doing S-OFF, you could still manually flash them but not take them from the software update section of your ROM.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] juancaperez2000:
Thanks may I ask which OTA are you i dont heard about OTA is comming out till mid september

My bootloader is locked and it can't be unlocked, so i have to use rom that can be flashed even if bootloader is locked, so anyone know which one should i use ?

Thanks in advance
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gregbradley:
Best ROM/Kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.

Everyone has their own opinion, it is therefore recommended that you head over to the development sections and try them out for yourself.

[Mi 3 General] dafreaking:
So I am not sure if this is a General or App specific question.

Is there any way to enable lockscreen widgets in MIUI? It's sad that this a feature baked into Android 4.2+ but MIUI while giving us fantastic features decided to omit a feature baked into android. I have tried some of the third party lockscreen replacements but none of them seem to work too well with MIUI. Would love to have Dash clock/Chronus on my lockscreen.
[Mi 3 General] sidermi:
there are issues that incorporate very handsome screen lock and can apply separately.
[Mi 3 General] reneftw:
What lockscreen is that? And also, can you please attach here your wallpaper?
[Mi 3 General] sidermi:
Lockscreen is "thf`s advanced weather lockscreen"

[Mi 3 General] dafreaking:
Qhile this is a great lock screen and I know MIUI has a ton of customizable lock screens. The one feature I am really missing is the ability to add custom widgets to lockscreen, specifically Chronus/Dash Clock.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cjard:
One thing i'm totally confused and lost about, with my new Vario II, is its apparent inability to use the wifi preferentially to access the internet.

T-mobile havent been able to help so far but I will keep leaning on them. The basic question I have is that:

When connected to wifi, I know I can get access to the internet because my laptop is doing it right now. If the wifi is connected (and it works because im transferring files across file sharing), why does the GPRS dial when I fire up an internet app like ie/msn messenger?

What do I need to do to this phone to make it prefer wifi over 3g/gprs?

Also, is it just my device, or is wifi on all these dog slow? It took nearly 1.5 minutes to copy a 4 meg mp3! ~384kbps?!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] rassah:
Start > Settings > Network Cards > Network Adapters (Tab) > "My network card connects to:" The Inernet

That should solve your problem. To a point, anyway. For som reason, Push mail is still GPRS only.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] JohnieWalker007:
My TyTN uses WiFi when available otherwise it automatically choses HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS to get connected to Internet. To achieve it I set my system in the following way:

Start > Settings > Network Cards > Network Adapters (Tab) > "My network card connects to:" The Inernet (as rassah stated above)

Configure your GPRS connection as My Work Network.

Under Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select_Networks (Network Management tab) set both drop-down

1. "Program that automatically connect to the Internet shoud connect using" -> My Work Network

2. "Program that automatically connect to the Private Network shoud connect using " to My Work Network -> My Work Network
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cjard:
Ahhhh.. I've eventually solved this, I think. Even with what was suggested here, I had difficulty and the phone would not dial gprs -> it just said "cannot connect with your current settings"

It was the last line of what JohnieWalker said that got me thinking - there is a slight typo on the line but other than that, his advice led me to the solution.

For other people experiencing this difficulty, I offer the following advice:

Click Start, Settings, Connections tab. All the applets you need to use are on this screen

Use the Network Cards applet, Network Adapters tab, highlight the wireless card and tell the phone it connects to Work

-- This apparently does something different to choosing "The Internet" in that it allows file sharing etc. The word Work in this context is completely unrelated to the default connection called "My Work Connection"

Use the Wireless LAN applet to connect to your wifi network

In the Connections applet, Advanced tab, press Select Networks

Set both dropdowns to "My Work Connection"

On the tasks Tab, the display has changed to "My Work Connection" -> Choose Manage Existing Connections and add a New one via the button

Enter the details to dial your gprs. These are all over the web

You end up with a connection that is set up identically to the default T-Mobile Internet one (in my case) - for some reason the default one always dials the GPRS whether the wifi is on or not. This one I just added behaves as i expect - if the wifi is on, it uses it, if not, it dials.. Weird!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
I've had the misfortune of my phone falling out of my pocket today and getting chipped on the HTC bar. I plan to use the HTC Advantage plan to get a replacement phone (first) then ship my old (current) one in because I literally CANNOT live without a phone for 10 days +. My question resides in am I going to have to revert this fully to stock? Like S-ON, Bootloader locked?? CID to VZW_000_1 or whatever it is? What all will I have to do to ship this in and not risk them turning the $600 hold on my account to a $600 charge?

& a lesson to everyone else on here, when someone tells you safety over looks, you better take it. I was stupid enough to do something I knew was stupid and used a cool case over the bulky safe Otterbox and now I'm sitting here upset over not only my phone being messed up, BUT my stupidity of not listening to anyone when they told me I should be using my Otterbox on my $500 investment.

:(

Edit: Ugh I must be just completely idiotic today to not notice this either but just there's knocks in the top of the phone too. =_=
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brandogg:
Yes, definitely set it back to stock. No reason not to.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
What do you consider stock? Doing an RUU and wiping EVERYTHING or doing an RUU and going S-ON/B-Locked?

I'm not very confident with attempting S-ON which is why I'm asking this lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brandogg:
I don't have any experience with HTC so I can't say based on anything, but I would do S-on if it was me. Definitely wait for some second opinions though...I can't imagine S-on is any harder than S-off.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pball52998:
Please don't go S-ON after going S-OFF... You have a large chance of destroying you phone.. being stuck in fastboot with a tampered flagged, locked bootloader and S-ON. Pretty much unsavable if you are on Verizon. Just restore a stock nandroid or do the RUU and flash stock recovery, then set the **unlocked** flag back to **locked**

Phones from HTC sometimes come already S-OFF. They really don't care. Just as long as you don't have a tampered flag and reset the **locked** banner.

Sent from my HTC One M8 Running Insert Coin. S-OFF.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
How would I set the **unlocked** flag to **locked** without actually locking it? Also I'll go with the RUU and do this/everything else thats been suggested before I send it to them.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pball52998:
It's a command entered in through either a cmd prompt, terminal, or terminal emulator on the phone. Root is required. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708571 it's pretty simple :) so basically, flash the RUU (prerooted) then, go to that website ^^ run those commands. It will reset your **unlocked** flag to **locked** :) but I beg you, do NOT go S-ON. Since you're Verizon you shouldn't have a tampered flag :eek:

If you need more explanations feel free to PM me.

Hi s7yler,

I bought one too, but I have some issues. My phone stuck on boot and now after recovery with original rom I don't have IMEI and signal. I resolved the Imei problem but I don't have signal yet.

Other problem is some apps like Antutu do the phone restart.

Do you have a original backup and a backup made MTK Droid Tools. I sent message to Doogee support but I didn't receive answer.

Tks
[Device Reviews and Information] chanaka89:
Did you try 4.4 rom? Flash it with SP flash tool v5.1408.00

For imei problem you need SN Writer 2.1324.0 (google it)

Where do you live? Make sure that your carrier supports GSM 2G: 850/900/1800/1900 and 3G: WCDMA 850/2100MHz :)
[Device Reviews and Information] mackbusy:
I used this phone about 3 days with no problem. After this stuck I can't do this work perfectly again.

I tried 4.4 but the problem is the same. I resolved the Imei problem with the MTK droid tools and MTK engineering mode. I can see the corret Imei but no signal yet.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Ok that sounds strange, are you sure it is not a hardware error? Did you buy it from new?

I would try this

1. Factory reset phone completly

2. Flash new ROM

3. Wipe all caches/dalvik/factory reset again

4. Check IMEI number and SIM card.

5. If still no signal, try change to 2G only or choose manually search for network instead of automatically

Are you sure you got the correct IMEI into the phone? and you dont need MTK engineering mode.

Just have the phone rooted, then start MTK droid tools, on the first screen (where all the info is) then hit the button IMEI/NVRAM (button is only avaiable if your rooted) and a new window will popup, here you can insert the IMEI number in both fields, and save it to the phone. After that restart phone and thats it.

Regarding Antutu, did you also try Antutu X? (Antutu 5) from the Play Store.

Original ROM (it is called 4.2.9) can be found on needrom.com - just search for DG550.
[Device Reviews and Information] chanaka89:
Did you try these sims on another phone.

Sometimes Mobile network itself deny registration of the sim in the network due to some issues.

This happens often when you use a super sim which is used to bypass sim lock.

It can easily be resolved by putting the sim on another phone and resister in the network manually.

:)
