I'm trying to edit AndroidManifest.xml in Settings.apk, but I seem to damage the signatures every time I recompile. The application does not even show up.

Here's my process:

1. apktool d -f Settings.apk

2. Edit AndroidManifest.xml (changing theme lines)

3. apktool b -f Settings

4. Take newly compiled Settings.apk, open it in WinRAR/7Zip

5. Drag AndroidManifest.xml from newly compiled .apk into original .apk (replace)

6. Flash to phone with CWM

What do I need to do to complete this change?
[G1 Android Development] tommytomatoe:
What is your edit exactly? Lets start there. For whatever reason your edit is breaking the app.
[G1 Android Development] kennethpenn:
My edit is changing all instances of "Theme.Light" to "Theme". I'm inverting the Settings.apk color scheme.
[G1 Android Development] silverxbv2:
Can I decompile with apkmanager, make my edits, and recompile with Apktool? The reason i ask is i am editing like 90% of a layout folder and i forgot to keep track of which xmls I edited. Or can i just delete the entire layout folder in the keep folder?
[G1 Android Development] roscoenr:
i have deleted the entire folder before with no problems
[G1 Android Development] silverxbv2:
I'm gonna go with it and see what happens. There's 203 xmls and I've edited probably 180 of them.

Thanks

HERO - Darch AOSP OC/JIT

sorry about the lens it was the first one handy... :p... i had taken a few more pics but picasa deleted the rest for me for no reason... oh well...

anyone care to enlighten me how the hell some people are getting 34megaflops on the EVO... am i doing something wrong... ?
[Hero CDMA General] nilemann:
I think it was pc magazine that did a mobile network data test recently and they found that here in raleigh Durham ATT's 3g was faster than Sprint's 4g.
[Hero CDMA General] wcgbmd:
The EVO has a much higher screen resolution than the Hero from what I know so that would explain Nanocore. The EVO's resources are being hogged by the HTC Crapware they have the need to install on every damn phone, so once we remove those and get to where the Nexus one is at(Google software only for the most part) then we can do an actual benchmark.
[Hero CDMA General] wrx4memp:
True I hope HTC sees this and gives us options to run their crap or bone stock aosp...

that neocore was unexpected... I guess the hero got a lot of life left in it after all...

They are getting it because they are testing out Android 2.2 but it's not fully functional. It'll be here eventually.

off topic, what case is that on your Evo?
[EVO 4G General] wrx4memp:
It's the official HTC 2 piece hard plastic black one side other your choice of red blue titanium... being sold by Sprint
[EVO 4G General] 06ms6:
Honestly, there can be no way. My Hero was doing 2.1 - 2.4 on Fresh 2.1.1, "factory freaks" idea aside there cannot be phones that perform 10 times better than others of the same kind (using the same software). That would also be claiming a 6 times increase over the EVO when both are on stock ROMs.

I guess it just brings be ye olde saying, "don't believe everything you read on the internet kids".
[EVO 4G General] MagnusRagnarok:
Just curious, I dont understand how youre not completely happy with your evo, numbers aside. I couldnt wait for my evo, been waiting since it was a supersonic, went thru great effort to purchase it the day it came out AND be able to root it as soon as i got it home. Well, @ this point in time imo this device needs nothing other than a few apps,screen protector, and a case. and im a COMPLETE MOD FREAK.Its like the whole time i had my hero i spent it trying to make it into a phone like this........well now i have it:D:D:D I will root once i can reach my custom recovery from the device itself and can delete/write to running system,....I purchased a htc rubberized case(only one they had) and a scratch-proof/privacy screen protector, and man i couldnt be happier with my new EVO, kind of ironic if you actually knew how much modding i did to my hero....my point is that idc if some app said my evo got all zeros and an ipwnd got 100w/e unit of measurement, i could care less. All that matters to me is that it can do what i need to without breaking a sweat.Maybe i dont understand. What do you use your evo for? Maybe some things that i do not perhaps.....Just remember, those who search for flaws, will unfortunately,eventually find them:( Good luck with your EVO though, hopefully you can find the desired numbers and will than be as satisfied with yours as i am mine:D
[EVO 4G General] crazyjoezx:
could you list the apps you ran these in?..looks interesting , i would love to test mine
[EVO 4G General] Neotelos_com:
Magnus, please don't quote such large blocks, and use standard fonts...drives me crazy.

Anyways, better performance on Evo means better utilization of hardware, which each notch up means one step closer to helping those poor battery issues. :)

Not to mention, who doesn't want a speedier device!?
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
quadrant is the one with the bar graph. linpack is the one giving you the mflops.
[EVO 4G General] wrx4memp:
whoaaaaa buddy... sorry you take such offense to anyone knocking a product you own... but you sound like you should own an iphone rather than an evo... where do you see me complaining about evo being bad... ??? just an fyi... ive used and abused more phones than you can imagine... and thus far the evo is one of the best if not the best...

you have about another 3 days or so till steve jobs pulls out the iPhone HD... at WWDC 2010... then you will have more and more people knocking the EVO... so be prepared...

mad did i digress... anyway... droids and nexuses with 2.2 running cyanogenMOD are in the 40-50mflop range and even the ancient g1 is in the 12-15mflop range... what is it thats keeping our EVOs down... all the non-sense that HTC added cant be this taxing on the EVO... ???
[EVO 4G General] wrx4memp:
1. Quadrant

2. Linpack

3. Neocore
[EVO 4G General] thecodemonk:
Aaaaaand time for everyone to stop and breathe.

Sense will be part of it (sense has provided a LOT of additional functionality behind the scenes that most people don't ever think about...and thusly is kinda on the fat side). The other part of it is potentially the same thing that's killing some of our batteries (The Calendar Wake Lock issue)...if it's running constantly, it's probably eating up some cycles too.
[EVO 4G General] kwajr:
right look at the incredible and gsm hero they have sense and higher numbers i think they have jit on some of them though and i cant find a list for evo on linpak
[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
EDIT: Jit cant be enabled with sense ui, as of right now. I heard cyanogen said of a way, but i havent seen it working yet.

When they run linpack and get higher numbers. They arent running sense ui or htc at all.. I as of right now, i have the highest scores for gsm hero and cdma hero that have been posted to the website (we share scores on the linpack website). I had jit enabled running an AOSP rom with an OC kernel, also known has darchdroid.

The incredible might still be running sense ui. But for the hero no.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ari3lj0s3:
Becasue i liked the unlimited texting on the sidekick when i got my mytouch i decided to keep that prepaid plan. i knew that i would have to give up the unlimited data since tmobile blocked it back in aug of 09. but recently when im not on wifi my 3g is turned on and when i open the default browser i am taken to the tzone website which has never happened before in the last 3 months that ive had the phone. i was wondering if this has been happening for a while or if tmobile just started giving access to android phones on prepaid. also is there anyway to get passed the restrictions and get to other sites?
[Touch HD General] lamajstro:
Hello,

I changed the housing of my HD and throw the broken one away. I was not aware that there some tiny parts that did not come with the spare part - so now I need this tiny silver metal/alu grid which is in front of the speaker on the top of the phone.

Where can I get one? Or do you have any other idea, what I could place there in order to avoid that dirt comes in?

Thanks!
[Touch HD General] gerryjoson:
Get a bit of fine stainless mesh from a hardware store or engineering supplier, maybe even an electronic shop.

You could also try a tiny bit of foam glued in there, just have to make sure what ever you use, it isn't touching the speaker driver
[Touch HD General] lamajstro:
Well, all of this doesn't work that well. Are there any other ideas?

Or is it possible to purchase this part somewhere?

Or do you know, how this part is called in English? So that I can search a bit...
[Touch HD General] qwertylesh:
yes you could fashion a new one out, lucky its not part of the light sensor, but only sits beside it.

shame too, In my guide I have a specific photo showing not to forget to perform that task (much like not forgetting to reattach the camera when reassembling)

the easiest way to describe it in english is front speaker mesh

you could maybe get one from a mobile repair shop if they have any dead blackstones if you're lucky.

edit: I call it in my thread "front speaker piece grill" but i think that mesh is a better way if describing the part
[Touch HD General] lamajstro:
Thank you!

Well, unfortunately, I have not seen your replacement guide before, in that case I would have been aware of that part.

Do you, or someone else, know some mobile repair shops that repair dead blackstones? Well, I phone HTC Germany and they connected me to Arvato, the shop which officially repairs HTC phones in Germany. But in contrast to HTC, they said they are not allowed to send out spare parts. But I could send it it and they repair it for around 150 Euros (!) for this tiny mesh! Unbelievable...
[Touch HD General] qwertylesh:
Look around for small business mobile repair shops, go visit them in person, and discuss with the persons there that you are technical and can competently repair your phone and that you would like to source parts but not pay for their labor.

thats what I did, if you have any markets, its a good place to find these sorts of repair shops which have people who are kind enough to sell parts without obligatory labor and labor charges. :)
[Touch HD General] lamajstro:
Ok, I contacted every HTC repair shop I found on the Internet from around the world. Most of them did not answer and the others don't have this part.

Do you have a repair shop around? If so, could you give me some email adresses so that I can contact them?
[Touch HD General] lux_sss:
I just had the same problem... I didn't know the new screen with come with the speak mesh... now i have no idea where to get one.
[Touch HD General] lux_sss:
I see qwertylesh is from Melbourne... I am from Melbourne too. Can you please tell me how you repaired yours qwertylesh... thank you.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] winickj:
I am using mightyrom and a callback service which has an SMS triggered callback.

The problem I have is the callback server doesn't acknowledge receipt, however, it does do the callback properly.

After the callback, my phone thinks it didn't get the SMS through, so it resends it. Each of these resends triggers a callback until the 3rd time, when it stops sending the SMS.

Is there a way to stop winmo/mightyrom from doing this retry.

Thanks,

Jay

First thanks to all the gurus here at this amazing website were technology is constantly being challenge and and with good results. I take my hat off to you

I just wanted to bring an issue I am having and hope it can be resolve if not it will be a learning experience, but I know that with so many great people in this website I have no doubt that my issue could be resolve and if not I will continue to try to resolve the problem, I love challenges in the electronic world. I have been in it for the last 27 years.

My situation is the following:

I was able to root my phone, but have 2 questions;

1) Why when I look under superuser I have nothing in my screen?

2) Why I can't have access to my sdcard through HTC Synch even know I have update to the new firmware?

I have try this in different ways, updating to the factory software and then rooting as well as rooting first and then try to update which after thinking about it I think it was stupid of me.

I am sorry about my extended post, but I just wanted to thank you guys for your continous support to all of the cell phone community.

Again thankyou and continue the good work

Difficulty pairing MW600 and HDT HD2

Hi. A new members first question. My blue-tooth headset paired no problem with the Toshiba TG01 however I've tried all ways to get it to be recognized by my HTC HD but its just not picking it up. Has anyone else had a similar problem? or is it just my advanced age coming into play? I've been through both the MW600 and HDT user guides and followed all the instructions to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] EVOKeith:
I was wondering if anyone had a good app to drain the battery. I have heard that with Lithium Ion batteries it is a good idea to charge them to 100%, drain them, charge it back up, wash, rinse, repeat a few times in order to get the battery to the maximum amount of life.

1) Is there any truth to this practice?

2) Is there an app for this process?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jeffrimerman:
From what I was told on other forums is the exact opposite. It is the old batteries that had what was called a memory and would not hold as good of a charge over time. I was told lithium ion actually works good when giving little charges here and there and does not need to be drained. I don't remember if I was told that here or on howard forums.

It's really not needed with a lithium ion battery, but some people still feel good doing it. There is an app called Screen Test. Once you load that you can switch to an all white screen at max brightness. Play some streaming music in the background and that should do it
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Darth Duane:
This is absolutely true. The only thing a full discharge does for you is increase the accuracy of the battery meter.

what i did, was set my hero so it wouldn't turn the screen off, connected to my WiFi to get internet, and have music streaming till it dies, I've done it twice already to my Evo battery, I've got my hero battery in my Evo for now :-p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kmartburrito:
M-M-M-M-M-M-Monster Combo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to actually contribute, I'll confirm what jeffrimerman said. The memory effect is most seen using Ni-Cd batteries, and somewhat (very little) on Ni-Mh batteries. Lithium Ion batteries actually aren't good to drain completely every time. Charging here and there, or even leaving your phone on the charger should, in theory, have absolutely no negative impact at all on the battery.

what is up with the FM radio app? i can't get any stations to come in at all its all static. what am i doing wrong? doesn't make any sense that its not working
[EVO 4G General] redct:
Check to see that your headphones are securely plugged in (they're your antenna). Are you indoors or outdoors?
[EVO 4G General] knives of ice:
indoors but i live within 20 miles of where the stations are broadcasing. i have them securely plugged in and all i get is static
[EVO 4G General] scaots:
I tried for a while also to get FM. Finally with a 4th set of headphones i was able to tune in a few stations manually. The scan still doesn't find anything. I stretch the cord out to get best reception and try not holding the EVO - yeah I got better reception on some stations if I had EVO and the headphones stretched out on a table. Color me disappointed in the FM as any cheap walkman seems to work better, though I didn't really expect to use it much anyway.
[EVO 4G General] thecodemonk:
The idea to use the headphone's wires makes me wonder if old cheap headphones would work better (I'm curious if the newer headphone wires are shielded better and if that would make it harder to pick up signal)

Anyone got any experience of how reliable the 'no data services when Roaming' setting is?
