[Windows 10 Mobile] osuki9x:
I am trying to customize live tile to get an transparent tile without third party apps. I did succeed to turn some live tile of Windows Phone apps (xap) to be transparent. But I met some difficulties to do the same with UWP app (appx).

This is how I did it (It succeed on WP app):

Enable Full system file access for my interop unlock phone

Go to C:\Data\PROGRAMS to file app's folder that I want to customize the tile

Find the tile icon image of that app (.png) (it's often in Assets folder)

Use Photoshop to remove the background of the icon image

Replace the icon image with the new one

But after a while I figure out that there are some app the developers use the transparent icon image and set the background color for the tile. Therefore, instead of turn the icon image to transparent, I need to change the background color code to transparent. I found that the code is in AppxManifest.xml file.

For example: I adjust AppxManifest.xml of Vine app

From

BackgroundColor="#15CC9D"

to

BackgroundColor="transparent"

But it doesn't work. I am not a developer so I may miss something. Anyone can HELP?

How you modify files inside appx archive?
[Windows 10 Mobile] osuki9x:
File inside appx archive is in C:\Data\PROGRAMS\WindowsApps . I copy file that need to be modified to my PC then adjust it and paste in back in.
[Windows 10 Mobile] titi66200:
Not working because "AppxManifest.xml" is executed when Appx is installed
[Windows 10 Mobile] osuki9x:
So if I adjust it and leave it there so when there is an update (mean the app reinstall) will it work or the AppxManifest.xml need to be modified inside the appx archive before installing app?

Are there any hope that I can tweak the transparent tile?
[Windows 10 Mobile] titi66200:
inside the appx archive
[Windows 10 Mobile] osuki9x:
could you please more specific? how could I do it? or could you give me any link that I can follow instruction?

Vine v2.5.5.0 with transparent tile

I have succeeded to make Vine (v2.5.5.0) with transparent tile

Rename the extension from .zip to .appxbundle
[Windows 10 Mobile] osuki9x:
Anyone help? My solution for that right now is that I unpack, modified the AppxManifest.xml in the appx then pack it and install. But I am finding another way so I can turn the tile to transparent when it's already installed.
[Windows 10 Mobile] AsvinDG:
This is what I've done

[IMG="This is what i done"]http://i.imgur.com/xCqFNJS.png?1[/IMG]

you need to change template inside WMAppManifest

below I post edited Path app xap (its not Published in store anymore and its only for Learning purpose)
[Windows 10 Mobile] osuki9x:
You change the WMAppManifest then repack the xap right? I believe that WMAppManifest for xap app, the AppxManifest is for appx app. How did you repack the app? Do you know how to pack the Windows 10 Universal app?
[Windows 10 Mobile] titi66200:
AppxManifest is also in Xap 8.1

For Win 10 and Win Mobile 10 you must use "Microsoft (R) MakeAppx Tool version 10.0.xxxxx"

[Windows 10 Mobile] z0m8i3:
I have this problem with txt messages too (Messaging app). When I resize the app, I see the icon I tried to put there, but once it goes static, it turns white and covers all of the png that isn't transparent. (The 'Send' button is also white-out, too). Same deal with Whatsapp.

Groove was seamless and immediate tile change!

Facebook beta icon easily changed, except the 'Most Recent' tile has a blue background; I removed the color from the tile, saved AppxManifest.xml and reboot the phone, unset the tile and reset - still a blue background.

In my screenshot, I drew a red arrow to the txt messages app, Microsoft app so uninstalling & sideloading isn't an option.
[Windows 10 Mobile] Ani64:
Remaining steps to do........

[1] Save the AppxManifest.xml which you edited on phone or sd card.

[2] Open Interlop Tools > Applications > Register a Package.

[3] Browse the AppxManifest.xml and register it. DONE.......

I successfully changed Twitter app background to transparent but not able to do the same with Facebook and Messenger apps(may be bacause the apps are made in a different way)

And heyy.............You can also change the app name (for e.g. MyTube to YouTube) and I did that with WhatsApp Beta but now the app is not opening.

Let me know if you got something beyond this..........:)

Hello guys recently I got this big interest in boot animations, so I decided to make one myself and I named it Promethium.

Please ignore the quality. I made it in some 30 minutes or so.

Everything was made from scratch in Photoshop.

No automated tools to convert gif to boot animations were used.

Please leave your suggestions.

If you like you may include this in your rom or share on your blog but please give proper credits.

Preview(sorry wasn't able to put gif, so lets go with static):

Spoiler content hidden.

Download:

bootanimation.zip

Promethium.zip (Flashable through recovery)

How to install?

Copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media and replace existing file. Set permissions to 0755 (rwxr-xr-x)

Or you may download and flash the flashable zip directly through your recovery (CWM or TWRP)

Regards

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Leelouster:
Hi guys, my S7 Edge is working beautifully, the only problem that I have is that right now for Spring Break I'm staying over at my mom's place, and the data here sucks. Although, it says I have 4G LTE with 3-4 bars, some online games say I have no data, and websites take forever to load. I was thinking about changing my APN from my old phone over to this one, but I'm not sure if that would make it worse? I remember reading these forums in anticipation while I was waiting for my phone to arrive, and I remember someone had mentioned something about changing an "IPV4 to IPV6"? However, when I checked, mine is already switched to IPV6? Not sure if that will make a difference or not...any suggestions?

Edit: I'm on T-Mobile by the way.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Juuls:
Not many ISP's support IPv6 in my country, I read about your issue too but my conclusion was you should disable IPv6 and just let it run on IPv4. Only thing I don't know is if you do this change in your phone or on your router. If you are sure your ISP supports IPv6 than ignore my comments.

btw, I thought IPv4/6 has to do with Wifi only, not 4G or LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Leelouster:
I thought the contrary lol. I thought it had to do with 4G or LTE, which is why I was confused when you mentioned about me having to change something in my router :confused: Hopefully other people can shed light on this as well :)

Guys ... pls help ....

I'm using XDA Zinc and had recently upgrade it to WM 6.0 ... however, I noticed that the O2 Plus is missing ...

I had contacted O2 about it that he said that if I want to use O2 Plus, I had to revert back to WM 5.0 since no seperate cab is available for O2 Plus to be installed independently.

So I try installing HTC task manager/x-button but not working ...

I would like to ask:

1. Do you guys happened to have O2 Plus for XDA Zinc (an original one, not a cracked one, maybe ported from WM 5.0) ?

2. Do you guys that use XDA Zinc had successfully installed HTC task manager/x-button in XDA Zinc ?

1.Your phone should be rooted if not you can root with king root or Cara root(www.kingroot.net) for rooting your phone

2.this should be performed only in android 4.4

3.The minimum requirements are 1 Gb ram and 1.5 or 1.7 GHz processor

4.Your Android should be AOSP and not Cyanogen Mod 11 or cyanogen Mod 12

5.Xposed framework installer should be installed in your phone

6.Execute all the modules in that app and now do soft reboot in the app,do not do normal reboot

7.Now install Android M by samio in your phone

8.Now install MN theme setter in your phone

9.If u don't like this version you can just perform normal reboot

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjbathgate:
Hi

My Xperia Z5 compact has always been a bit of a disappointment re speed; really no improvement over the z2, in fact picture and camera loading is painfully slow.

There's a number of threads around commenting on the same issues so I've just lived with it.

Now I've just upgraded to Marshmallow, the new memory manager shows a whopping 1.7gb usage (total 1.8gb, a measly 41mb free!!!) and drilling down, Android OS is using 900mb.

The next biggest is android system and google play services at around 110 mb each and everything else is below 100mb.

I'm astonished Android OS is taking over half my ram just to run, and this is when I'm not doing anything major on my phone... Just a few SMS, bit of browsing and a lot of not being used time.

This, combined with the generally slow speed leads me to question is this normal?

What's the expected ram usage on this device?

Anything I can look at to reduce the OS ram? Ideally I'd look at a non stock rom to remove bloatware but as far as I know this phone isn't rootable yet? Or can I still get a more efficient rom on board?

Many thanks

Rob

In sleep mode you will notice the difference.. But in general it does improve battery life by a bit.. Maybe for everybody else its different..

Just remember all the pre installed bloatware on the phone hog the ram and run in the background..

Especially the weather app/widget.. Thats a battery killer
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lambo16:
By normal, I mean force closing apps to save RAM. Normally they are just idling and using a little bit of RAM - doesn't hurt the battery. If the app is using the CPU a lot then there's probably a problem in the app and you should close it. Android has a pretty good RAM management system.

Getting rid of bloatware like Facebook ect is a good idea and will help your battery
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjbathgate:
Hey

Thanks all. I'm keen to remove bloatware, but unless I'm mistaken I need root for that... And as far as I can see there is no solid solution to root for the z5 compact, is there?
