I don´t know why you did not do it on your own. :confused:

Using a freeware gfx viewer/converter like XnView and this is done in one little step.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] b16daddy:
hey thanks.. but this isn't what i had in mind..

I actually used photoshop and resized it to 32x32x150 resolution and then save it as bmp file but it still has a White border around the icon...

then i tried to crop it .. which made it a bit better..

but i still have a problem with the gradient background from the png file...

dont know if I'm making any sense.. but basically..

the PNG icons have a gradient background and the Bitmap icons have a purple-ish background that seem to he transparent when its on windows mobile..

if someone know how to convert it with the purple background can you please show me how?

all replies are appreciated..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] callius:
How are you getting the icons to display on the WM device?

I was led to believe that they needed to be in a .dll or a .exe "library" in order to be used as icons by Windows Mobile Devices.

Is this not correct?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rhov23:
PNG can be transparant, BMP can not be transparent unless the program that uses the BMP has a specific colorcode that it uses to make it transparent, and even then it cannot show faded transparency. Only 100% or 0%

(If this was what you are after)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] b16daddy:
I am using it for Claunch 12.04 .. I guess it allow you to use .exe, .dll, .cpl, and .bmp files as icons...

Okay here are the exsamples..

1st is the original PNG icons @ 60x60 (with the Gradient background)

2nd is the BMP done by Chistian72D @ 32x32 (with the White background)

3rd is an icon from an icon pack for Claunch (with the purple background)

the purple will blend in with whatever color you have on your windows background..

thats what I was looking for..

thanks again guys.. let me know if you know of a way to do this..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joemanb:
here is an easy way to do this

download "Irfanview" install and run it,

click "options", "properties", "viewing", "Choose" (main window color)

In the lower right quadrant of the color window enter values: red=255, green=0, blue=255

click "OK" then "OK" again. This will change the background color to the proper value for claunch.

Now open your pngs in Irfanview, resize them (click "Image", "resize/resample" or CTRL-R)

Then save as BMP.

The newly saved bmps will have the proper background color.

Good Luck

I can use it too, but is drain too fast and when it reaches 1%

it takes a lot of time and i don`t know when i need to charge it.

That`s why i need help for kernel and rom.

i have touch delay and i know this question is already posted but i want to ask something what if we try to port the lollipop touch drivers? that's a possible fix i think
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meganukebmp:
Interestingly I also discovered that having a second finger on screen fixes said issue. Likely something with the screen sleep modes.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imit:
Wow, i can confirm that on thea (XT1072) which has the touch delay too - placing second finger on screen, gives less delay. You can see it in "Color Switch" game.

it is strange but with lollipop there's not any touch delay

[Android Themes] fawadshah33:
Samsung theme added a new option in nougat for note 5 and other devices to change only icons. The problem is that icon library is quite limited. Although some themes have great icons but do let you apply icons alone (not so thoughtful of Samsung).

This method here let you use any samsung theme icon without applying that theme, [video guide link]

First download the theme which icon is bewildering your eyes or whatever. Note theme name. (lets suppose its metallic)

Now download a icon pack [as a dummy] in theme store that you would (likely) never use. Note icon pack name.(lets say neon)

Download x-plorer file browser from playstore. Allow root access.

In the left pane goto

/data/app/

and search for the folder

long press and select add to favorite.

[OnePlus 5 Accessories] A Guy Called Revive:
Just saw this cheeky tweet

Screen Protector in question

Ive got one on order and will happliy give a review once I've gotten my hands on it. I've used their screen protectors before on my other devices and they have protected them just fine. Can't really complain about same day dispatch either.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] maddler:
let the chase begin!!!
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] MrDeacon:
Is it just me, or does this screen protector seem to lack a proper cutout for the notification LED. It can't be, can it? Surely, Orzly's better than that?
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] djsubterrain:
Thanks, just bought, hopefully it'll be better than the one they had for OP3T, don't want no rainbowing and visible grid this time.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] djsubterrain:
Why would you need a cutout for an led? It's a glass screen protector, you'll see the led just fine through it
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] Its_Tim:
the shipping time is far too long for US though :/
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] DarkExistence:
Great news! Loved it on my OnePlus 3! Looking forward to mine arriving now, will finally feel safe haha.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] MrDeacon:
Because it has a black frame, which isn't see-through? Why would you think the sensors and the camera have cutouts if the protector was transparent?

As suspected, the advertising pictures are incorrect. The actual screen protector has proper cutouts for the notification LED.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] jason-tech-uk:
They usually have Amazon prime stock fairly fast so maybe give it a week and you'll probably be able to order for next day. If you can wait a week...:p

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

I had their TGSP for my OP2 and loved it!! Though noticed these are not completely transparent so just been reading more about it on their blog and i guess it has to do with a curved screen? Don't get what is so great about curved screens.... I've loved my OP2 for a few years now and holding the OP5 in my hand today I really don't sit there saying Oh my god how did I used to live without curved screens!! I still do say that about touch screens (versus those piddly little screens we used to have on clamshell phones :D)
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] AnabolicAndroidz:
Couldn't agree with you more! I feel the same about OLED TVs to be honest. (it's just one of those things that manufacturers like to do so that they can try to pretend like they've invented something useful, but of very little use other than that old ones didn't do that. Flat screens for phones though are definitely much more practical in the context of glass screens though. That said, whilst I still prefer the flat ones hands down, I think Orzly made a much better job of the curved ones than any of the others I've seen (the actual TG Screen Protector that OnePlus themselves made was astonishingly terrible according to all the videos I've seen)
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] DarkExistence:
Meh I agree. OLED TVs really aren't necessary, I see the difference on LED/IPS phones and OLED phones but don't see much of a difference in the OLED TVs.

Yep I agree on your second point too. Had the Orzly TGSP for my op3 and it fitted great, much better then the likes of casebase etc. After watching the video [MENTION=4911629]niijonodhg[/MENTION] made, I'm excited to get this flimsy plastic protector off and get the TGSP one on!
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] jason-tech-uk:
My pet hate in terms of unnecessary 'value-less' over hyped marketing features is with food though. Off topic I know but you've now set me off thinking of stupid marketing ploys. So this month's 'super food' is cauliflower - you know cauliflower rice, cauliflower pizza bases from trader Joe's, cauliflower flour. I mean come on!!! Cauliflower has existed for a long time now, why blitz it and call it rice and try and fool foolish people in to paying over the odds for 'rice' - oh wait I think I answered my own question :D

Anyway hopefully like with most fads, this one will pass and soon we will have a 2020 nostalgic or retro version of the Oneplus 2 (like the Nokia 3310)
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] AnabolicAndroidz:
Yeah, the tempered glass versions are definitely the way to go. I personally have never seen the point in the other plastic foil types of protectors. (all they really do is just stop fingermarks and light scratches at best, but even those things they generally tend not to do so well, so for me personally it has never really warranted putting that type of extra covering on, as all that does is just cheapens the look. (and for very little benefit). But the tempered glass ones I absolutely swear by, as they psychically stop your phone's actual screen from getting smashed in, so that's the entire point for me.

( I learnt my lesson the hard way a few years back after accidentally dropping my phone face down and regretted it, so have been using the tempered glass types ever since) .

Thanks for the heads up on the casebase ones though, as some are definitely better than others. (even ones that look similar, I have found) - There can often be huge differences in glues, thicknesses, screen sensitivity, etc. My experience of the Orzly ones has been the same as yours, and I do generally tend to find them to be the best of all the ones I have used so far. I've had them before for a few different of phones in the past, and the one they did for the Nintendo Switch was exceptionally good! (even better than some of the ones I've had for my phones) so they can vary from model to model aswell, but generally they always seem to hold up well!
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] DarkExistence:
Yep definitely agree on the film protectors. The one that OP ships on the phone seems to be a dust magnet too, gets stuck to the screen. Kind of annoying haha.

Glad you have the same opinion on Orzly! Look at that we both had great experiences with then for the switch too!
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] jason-tech-uk:
Can't comment on the Switch as my wife is yet to buy me one (read neglected husband :( ) but I suppose it was an easier device as it has a flat screen rather than these fuddy duddy new age curved nonsense.

Ive had a dispatch notification for my Orzly screen so should know next week...
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] AnabolicAndroidz:
Haha, Small world! Yeah, absolutely loving my Switch so far, but wouldn't have dared taking anywhere without the tempered glass on it! To be honest I had thought about keeping my phone in the top pocket of the Nintendo Switch Travel Case I got from them, as it would certainly fit. (But to be honest I probably wouldn't hear the phonecalls if I did it that way, so I'll save the top pocket for the extra joy-cons and cables that I carry). For my OnePlus 5, I prefer to keep it close enough to my body so that I can physically feel aswell as hear when someone tries to call me on it.

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

Haha, yeah, Even retro in itself for me I find to be a rather annoying fad. (don't get me wrong, I love it when companies return back to things that work better than some of the pointless gimmicks they tried on but were never useful, but alot of times it's not even that) I think we have truly reached the age though where companies are starting to seriously run out of ideas. I think the last innovative thing I ever saw on a phone was a few years back when Apple first brought out Touch ID. (couldn't live without that now, so I genuinely do find that useful). But now fortunately this feature is standard on alot of phones now, but I haven't seen anything innovative from anyone for a long time. Apple and OnePlus are still my two favorites by far (I like to have both iOS and Android for different things). For Apple though I think the 5S to 6S Plus era are my favorite types, and don't like where they went from 7 onwards which is why I'm buying the OnePlus 5 for my android replacement this year, and just sticking with my existing 6S Plus for my Apple unless I hear anything that impresses me enough about iPhone 8 to warrant making the upgrade. (could happen, but not heard even so much as a rumor that has pricked my ears up so far). I do sincerely hope though that they surprise me and prove me wrong.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] AnabolicAndroidz:
Yeah, I can confirm that the screen of the Nintendo Switch is completely flat, and that really does make a huge difference. to the type of screen protector you can put on it. (Definitely the flat screen devices are superior in that respect). The curved screen devices really make it alot more complicated to actually protect them, so I do sincerely hope this fad of curved scenes dies a horrible death soon, as they definitely seem to create more problems than they solve. I personally see no befit to curving them whatsoever, and seems to infuriate users who eventually regret buying devices they otherwise really like, after having such an annoying experience with them. (if it's any consolation, it has backfired on the manufacturers too if you think about it (as if they had a flat screen to begin with, their own screen protectors would have worked alot better with their devices, and they wouldn't have had to worry about so many 3rd party accessory manufacturers from stealing their thunder, nor the problem of customers who had gotten frustrated with the experience opting to not put themselves through that whole ordeal the next time round). Until they learn this, it is a problem they will forever be vulnerable to.

But in OnePlus's defense, they do tend to learn from their mistakes alot more than many other phone makers. But if I was in their shoes, I would certainly be making doubly sure to pay attention to this particular issue, as this happening twice in a row now on their last two devices certainly isn't doing them any favors (even amongst those of us who generally otherwise love them, but are starting to get fatigued enough by it to think twice next time). If we are vocal about this often enough though as loyal customers who understand how important this is, if any company can learn from it, I believe OnePlus can.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lucky58:
First of all, thanks for your rom and topics about the sm_G1600 !

Can you tell us which base rom you used for this optimized rom you made ? I'm using now ZCU1AQB1, rooted & with google market installed and prefer not to downgrade.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bidhata:
I used ZCU1AQB1 only. As personally using the same stock based firmware. Still now stable and rocking :) I am ameture developer though - need more people to look into this device - it is having good potential ! Presently working on completely disabling selinux or atleast permissive mode. May be next version :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kettir:
I was unable to download the ROM today. Is the link down?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bidhata:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kettir:
Thanks! I got it downloaded. However after I installed it, WiFi refuses to stay on. I toggle it on and it just toggles back off right away by itself. When I reflash stock software, I can use Wifi, however.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bidhata:
Did you wiped your data partition before installing the ROM ? If possible, backup your internal storage, go to wipe, select wipe data, and type yes. Then using adb sideload - try to install the ROM
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kettir:
1. started with firmware g1600zcu1aph8-20160909140813_chc . This was a clean install through Odin.

Software settings at this point:

android version 6.0.1

baseband g1600zcu1aph8

kernel 3.18.24-8981871

build number mmb29m.g1600zcu1aph8

se for android status enforcing

knox version 2.6

android security patch level august 1, 2016

2. I then went into download mode, and using Odin, flashed the TWRP found on this page: https://www.aryablog.info/2017/06/rooting-and-installing-google-app-on-galaxy-folder-2-sm-g1600/ . This starts out in Russian and you have to switch to English every time.

Before flashing TWRP, download mode reported:

Product name SM-g1600

current binary: samsung official

system status: official

reactivation lock: off

crom service: unlock

knox warranty void: 0x1 (0x20c)

qualcom secureboot enable (csb)

ap swrev: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1

secure download: enable

download mode!!

3. Reboot, wifi is still working

4. Boot into recovery (TWRP)

5. At this point the phone is not rooted. I now did an advanced wipe, including dalvik/art cache, data, internal storage, and cache

6. Now I flashed your ROM Sillycon_beta_1_sm _g1600.zip via TWRP

I select safe format

I get a lot of "failed to mount data" errors here before the flash starts

No errors appear during the flashing process

script says everything went fine

7. I reboot

During reboot at the top it says: set warranty bit: kernel

There's a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark and next to it some Chinese text that google translate says is a warning that the phone has a non-samsung official system.

8. green screen with cogs while "android is upgrading" and optimizing apps

9. System boots to main screen. I attempt to toggle Wlan on, but after half a second it just toggles back off.

10. At this point, I put in my SIM card to see if that affects anything. Wlan still won't stay toggled on. I am able to make a phone call without any problems. I wasn't able to login to Google, getting the error that I don't have a network connection.

I go into mobile networks. I check Preferred Networks which is blank. Network mode is LTE/3g/2g auto connect. access point names has nothing selected, I set for ATT Nextgenphone. Under network operators I select Select Automatically and get "registered on network" popup.

Still can't sign in.

I then tried all the other options under Access point names, with the same result.

It should be mentioned that I have an AT&T microcell, so picking up data signal should not be a problem inside the house.

This is not my "daily driver" phone, so I'm not in a jam here. I can only guess it's possibly something to do with the radio (modem?) file, or something to do with using this phone on AT&T in the US.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kettir:
Btw I fixed the data so it worked. For some reason it was toggled off.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kettir:
Can you provide links to the TWRP version you are using? There are different TWRPs for different phones, and the twrp app doesn't list this phone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bidhata:
TWRP

Attached with this reply. Though I personally changed the default language to english. But, still under modification. I will share soon. Also suggesting you to try Beta2. Flash it, then install following

1) OpenGapp Pico ( for arm )

2) Wanam Xposed https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862685344

3) Any Viper4android for Marshmallow.

New one is much faster and daily driver. No knox popup, so su issue ( sepolicy injected ). Please don't forgot to press thanks if it helps. :good:
