[Droid Incredible Android Development] dkhait:
thanks everyone

thank you, i just deleted the images from framework-res and installed a battery indicator from market. so now i have 1 battery with correct %. too bad i cant move it to the right
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wpbear:
How do you do this? Do you copy the original framework-res.apk to PC and then open and remove the battery pictures then move the modified framework-res.apk back to the device and install? I tried this but the apk wont install.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Asterdroid:
How do you install this file? I tried installing it from clockwork mod recovery, but it didn't take.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dkhait:
you cant install that file. you have to pull framework-res.apk from the /system/framework. then open it with 7zip and overwrite the exiting images with those. then push it back into the phone.

adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk

then after injecting new images

adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Asterdroid:
Worked like a charm. Thanks!

Any idea where I can get my hands on red-themed 3g/location/clock/wifi/gps/alarm etc. notification icons?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wpbear:
I can't get the file to push. I am connected via USB with USB debugging on in charge only mode. At CMD prompt I can adb shell and su.

adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/

gives error adb: not found

I have edited the file by removing some png and then saving it back to the sdk root and the sdk/tools folders.

If I get this to push do you have to then install the apk from the device?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Asterdroid:
-Install 7zip (just google it)

-Reboot phone into recovery.

-Connect USB cable

-Go into Partitions menu in recovery

-Mount /System

-Open your command prompt on your PC

-Change the directory to wherever your sdk/tools are located

-type the following command line: adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Now the file is in your sdk/tools folder

-Right click on framework-res.apk and open with 7zip

-Copy the files from the round battery zip folder to the corresponding folder with the 7zip archive. They will automatically overwrite

-Exit 7zip

-Back in the command prompt type the following command line: adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/

-On your phone, unmount /system, then back out of the partitions menu and reboot your phone.

Should be all set!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Asterdroid:
I think you need to mount the system folder in the partitions menu of recovery. My instructions are one post up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wpbear:
Thanks got it. I switched back to the orignal apk though. I wanted the status hidden, and while deleting the png worked, it still leaves a blank space instead of moving the icons over so it doens't look good. Thanks for the help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nyonya:
I really like this icon, but is there any way to use this without the percentages in the middle? It makes it look more cluttered, and it's not very useful as they only change between 100, 80, 60, etc.

So is there any way to either make them more accurate, or remove them completely? I really like this indicator otherwise, more neat-looking than the one that comes with the jonnybueno theme (which rocks otherwise!)

Thanks all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] corywf:
I made a white round battery meter if you don't care for the red.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WingHater:
Why can't this be packaged up into a zip for us to just go into recovery and clockwork and install zip. Don't really understand why we have to go through all the steps of adb to get this to work. So if possible could someone please put it all together to make it easier to use. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dkhait:
you cant install it, you have to overwrite it in recovery mode.

adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk

modify

then

adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Archangel:
Is there one for blue please?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] corywf:
What color blue do you want? Just regular blue?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Taylored:
It probably could be packaged, but it is a pretty simple change so I doubt anyone would go through the trouble.

Do not fear ADB. Follow the steps. It is as easy as 1. 2. 3... 4567.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Archangel:
Is there anyway to do this so it is like the old days where a zip could be installed through clockwork recovery? I hate doing anything through ABD half the time my phone is not recognized?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Archangel:
Yes an medium blue, not ness like cyan darker please

Any app in Android can restore contact from PIMBackup backup file
[Android Apps and Games] unohebat:
have some problem with u, n i wasn't found any application to convert that file..

(i want migrating from winmo to android)

try this way, (sorry i can't write link in this forum coz newbie) :D

search on google with key "sprite mobile" (migrating contact,messaging,log call data)

it's like PIM backup on winmo
[Android Apps and Games] giugiu:
Hello,

I had solved the problem by

- deleting exchange account on winmo iphone

- setting up my gmail account as imap in winmo

- sync contacts etc. Between phone and gmail account

- using the gmail account w/ my new android device.

You can find some guides w/ a google search about how Toso configure gmail with winmo.

Regards,

G.
[Android Apps and Games] stretchtunin:
I just moved from WinMo to android and faced the same situation.

I first made a fresh PIM backup in case anything went sour. I setup activesync to sync with gmail (Google has a step by step tutorial that's based on WinMo 6.1 but it's fairly easy to figure out) This is where things can go sour, like doubling of contacts or appointments. If all goes well you'll have everything in your gmail account (it might take a while though).

If you have any pocket notes, and aren't synced with Outlook, you'll need to manually copy and paste them into OneNote Mobile. Then copy them to your desktop and open them in One Note.
[Android Apps and Games] unohebat:
use Sprite Mobile

i was successfuly transfer all contact and their field, messaging and call history
[Android Apps and Games] lovalim:
hai can u plz tell me how u did that. means full procedure.

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
Or, try this.

1. Open PIM Backup on your Windows Mobile device. Select the Backup action and unselect everything but contacts, then hit Next.

2. At the "Select backup filename and folder" screen, unselect the "compress backup" and "binary backup" options, then hit Next.

3. Transfer the BACKUP.PIB file that you just made from your phone to your computer. Change the extension from .PIB to .RAR, then extract the file.

4. The extracted file should be BACKUP.CSC. Simply change the extension to .CSV and import the file to your gmail account. All your contacts can now be imported to your phone through gmail - just follow the instructions given in the phone's contact menu.

or activesync with google http://www.google.com/support/mobile...&answer=138636

Hi

As a noob to android, I wanted to ask step by step converting winmo PIM backup file to android. Which includes migrating contacts, messages, log call data etc)

Is this doable. Can any one advice. PLZ.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] GiromoDelimor:
Hi, i have a HTC HD2 running WM - Energy ROM and Android - Core Droid HD V0.2 and i want to use my contacts in Android.

I did as Dblfstr said, but the file i got from PIMBackup was contacts_20101206.pbc

I use PIM Backup v2.8.0.0

I did not mark "compress backup" and "binary backup" but still the file is some how binary and it shows garbage when opened by an editor.

Does somebody have another solution to this problem?

ThX!
[Android Apps and Games] farukb:
forget about using pimbackup,i already tried everything and did nothing...

try using outlook,simply export the contacts to CSV and import them in google

or send them via bluetooth (for those who have 2 devices)
[Android Apps and Games] 1chris89:
there were quite a few contacts that were saved on my phones internal memory before i switched to android. Unaware of these contacts, and unaware of proper procedure to restore the pim backup once android was up and running. I created the standard backup with compression enabled and all default specifications. Can I restore the contacts with the default pimbackup method?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Ruudfood:
I have the same problem in that I didn't know about the compression. Is there any way to uncompress and will I be able to restore text messages as I'm not really worried about call logs, emails and contacts?

what should I get ? I want the best phone ? My plan is T-Mobile. I am thinking about the Nexus One? Any one have any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
I don't like the sluggishness and jerkiness of the stock browser. Is there a better third party browser that you particularly like? Is there anything that uses multitouch gestures?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MacGuy2006:
I've settled on Skyfire. It's not perfect, but it's the best I've found.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Will try out everyone that you guys recommend. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Skyfire has at least one advantage over the ****ty native browser - it supports file download other than apk file, whereas the ****ty native browser can't even support file download. I can't believe how crippled it is, and wonder if that **** is from Google or Samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bayerischbeer:
With Astro filemanager the native (google!) Browser is able to do that too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Thanks for this info bayerishbeer. Will get Astro filemanager right away.:)

How's opera mobile on the Galaxy S?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Is Opera mobile available for Android? I can't find it in the Market Place.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] soraxd:
theres no mobile, only mini, and its not that great, dolphin is pretty good tho
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Have used Opera mini on iPhone. It's really really lousy.

Will try out dolphin. Thanks!

edit: is it Dolphin Browser HD? or Dolphin Browser? What's the difference? I see.... HD is for Froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
The browser is bad? I'd always thought the Android browser was one of the best mobile browsers.

I never liked Skyfire on Windows Mobile - it's actually sending you screen grabs from rendering happening on their servers, so it was always laggy and slow to pan and zoom for me. Opera Mini is good if you don't have 3G data, since it's preprocessed and sent in a compressed form, but because the phone is rendering this custom preprocessed data and not the original HTML it doesn't support dynamic features.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
By iPhone standard, it is.

Mithent, are you using the stock browser? You've explored most of them I presume?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bubbleblo:
The stock browser works best for me. I've tried Dolphin, Opera and Skyfire and they all seem sluggish... Steel is good too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dexter666:
Skyfire is sluggish, stock browser works great, no need to change it and it download all you want just learn how.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
No problems with the stock browser here. It flies compared to Skyfire and works just as well as Dolphin.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vasra:
Opera Mini 5.1 along with "Make it Default Browser"

Why?

- Opera is clearly the fastest in loading/displaying pages. Absolutely no contest

- 90% of the time I'm no under HSDPA coverage or Wifi, so moved megabytes matter

If only Opera Mini would get pinch zoom, then it would be perfect for me.

I don't need Flash or in-browser JS, which Opera Mini lacks.

For those occasions when in-browser JS is required, I use the built-in browser. Much better than Dolphin HD, which is very sluggish.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mfad:
Try xScope. It works for me and somewhat better than Dophine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
I'll try all of them. So, the new ones that just cropped up are:

- Steel

- xScope

- Opera Mini (I hope it is not like the one on iPhone).

Thank you guys.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
I've taken a look at all these, and the one that I like the most is xScope. It is very similar to the Atomic Browser that I use on iPhone. The things I like about this browser are:

- I think it is faster than the stock browser and smoother too.

- One quick gesture to reveal the web address bar, and autotically hide it when page is loaded to give as much real estate as possible to the user

- One stroke gesture to move from tab to tab, exactly like what I was having in iPhone.

- Multitouch zooming, one finger zooming, as well as double tab to zoom in and out.

- Able to download more file types, although still not covering as comprehensively as what the Atomic browser for iPhone could.

- Able to open link in the background by long press. This usually is the way I consistently beat Opera Mini in terms of loading speed. In a forum like this, I open all the links that want to visit first, and buy the time I finish reading the first tab, the others are already fully loaded waiting for me to read. That means zero loading time effectlvely for all the links. Opera Mini can't do that.

- I wish there is a gesture (such as double finger swipe down) to close the current tab like what Atomic browser could do.

- Coupled with the higher resolution and bigger screen size, I feel that it is even more enjoyable surfing on Samsung Galaxy S than my 3GS.

I'm pretty happy with it for now, and would make it my main browser, until better one comes along.

One question: What is the difference between the free and paid version? What additionally benefits are there going to the paid version?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
I've not had much personal experience with it - I still have a Windows Mobile phone at the moment, but will be getting a Galaxy S soon (will be as a carrier upgrade next month). The opinion I had of the stock browser was what I've seen of it when compared to the iPhone's Safari and Opera Mobile on WM (IE isn't worth thinking about), so was just a little surprised and wondered if it wasn't so great in real-life use. I didn't know you had to go through hoops to download things with it.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with other options for Android, but I've tried Opera Mini and Skyfire on Windows Mobile. Given the nature of those applications, I doubt they're very different on Android.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
how about the Firefox for mobile, is it available for Android yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
I too still have a window mobile phone running opera mobile and opera mini.

The best browser for mobile devices for me is the atomic browser in iphone. This is one of the most painful things to have given up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dexter666:
Not.

At author: try dolphin browser hd. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kcharng:
Tried opera and dolphin hd. End up with stock browser being the fastest.

Opera with broken pinch zoom and no asian language support. Dolphin being with too many features making it sluggish to load and crash often, making it difficult to view a simple web site.

Stock browser for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tyxerakias:
One more vote for the stock browser. After the Opera update with the pinch zoom (which is kinda broken), I thought I'd swap, but after trying it for a big it's sticky and not as responsive as the stock browser. Dolphin HD was veeery slllloow. Haven't tried skyfire yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] igorm:
Yes it's available but still in pre-alpha release from April under name "Fennec":

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
Thanks for the link, i'll try it out on my Sammy.

at the moment the build in Google Chrome is okay for me, works better than Opera Mini 5
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Imho

Best browser for js and html 5 is xSCOPE

Best all wiz bang / multi media is SkyFire

Best proxy based is Opera Mini 5.1

And theres UCWEB (in market)but its not translated to english yet. I've played with the chinese ver and its good but its also a proxy browser. It would be my top pick once in english as it was on my WinMo

Every day use would be Opera Mini as its proxy based and fast due to compression.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BackfireNL:
I use the stock browser! it fits my needs! When i have good service it takes about 2 to 3 seconds to load a page! if it's https it will take around 5 seconds!

So thats pretty ok! I had a HTC Rhodium before this and that phone took like 10 seconds to load a page! (opera mobile browser)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Hey icky boo,

Would you mind elaborating on the strength of Skyfire. In those area, how is it better than xscope ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I agree on the data size mattering, but that's not everyone's concern but great for those who have it. However, I just can't stand the browser.

Scrolling is the worst experience I've had on any mobile browser (I'm there to view a page! rrrr)

Next, there isn't a go button when typing in the web-address. How many times I false started and didn't get to a page or had to go through an extra step after entering a web address just boggled my mind.

Pinch to zoom and java were concerns, but the above were my top 2, I can't use the browser.

I thank you sir for both starting the thread and putting in work, I'll have to check this out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcoales:
I've tried the stock browser and Skyfire. I've always been really impressed with the stock browser. It loads pages fast, scrolls quickly with no lag, pinch to zoom is really responsive.

My experience with Sky fire is that it's about the same speed (maybe slightly slower) but plays flash videos as well and apparently reduces the amount of data transferred if you don't have an unlimited tariff.

I haven't tried xScope so thanks for the tip - I'll give it a go.

As a final passing comment - why do people think the iphone browser is so great ? What does it have that the default SGS browser doesn't have ? One thing that I can't abide about the iphone browser is that it doesn't support reflow when you zoom in. That makes it pretty much useless on a fair number of sites for me. In fact that's one of the top two reasons why I could never consider an iphone (the other being that it doesn't support swype which I think is the best input system on a mobile device yet invented).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mark99uk:
the android webkit browser is faster than the iphone4, and also has more functionality. If you read the iphone4 review on TechRadar, they state they never thought they would have to say it, but the iphone is no longer top dog when it comes to browsing, that crown goes to android.

Added functionality such as text reflow, and flash/flash-light help too
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Glad that you find this tread useful, and you're welcomed anytime.

Let's hope that someone come up with an even better browser after reading this tread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jminor4326:
I tried every method, read every thread in every forum in an effort to root my EVO. Nothing worked. I was driving myself mad and spending tons of time. I Eventually I came across a post which directed me to XDA Developers Thread ---==={ROOT GUIDE}===--- | 1.47.651.1 ROOT, post 579 by SharkUW . I have used this on my own phone and I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work. I modified some of the instructions to make it clearer. The instructions may not be exact, and there is some seat-of-the-pants involved, but I got it to work. Use it at your own risk.

Prerequisites (follow in order)

Android-SDK developers program. I loaded it to C:

JAVA SE Development (use correct bit – 32 or 64). loaded in C:

Microsoft .NET Framework V 4.0

Reboot your phone and do a factory reset. Erase everything

Set phone to Charge Only and USB debugging

Open the stock browser and sign-in with your PCS phone number. Leave running.

Shutdown the phone, then restart

Make sure ADB is functional on your computer. You should be able to "adb shell" (confirming adb is working, exit shell if you're in it).

Extract the Do_root.zip (link below) and place all these files into the SAME folder as adb.exe. I have not included the appropriate PC36IMG.zip. Get it here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=701835 Leave the name as "eng-PC36IMG.zip". Place that in the SAME directory as well as the .zip.

Open a command prompt on your computer. point directory to Android-SDK directory\tools and a list will come up… click on "root.bat” and click RUN.

If it hangs for more than 30 seconds with the browser ****, CTRL+C, yes to kill the bat and just run it again.

Follow the directions. Your phone is going to reboot. It is then going to do a little **** and reboot into the boot loader. Keep track of the Command screen and wait because some steps take a while and there is no way of telling if it’s working. Nothing lasted more than 5 minutes. Eventually it will be in a "bootloader" and ask if you want to reboot. Say Yes with a Volume UP.

The .bat is now done. You have root. (not sure if next part is true) You now need a custom recovery to flash a proper ROM beyond the scope of this guide.

In original instructions but I’ve found the following Recovery step and code is not necessary: Now take the last step and flash the recovery.img that will already be on the root of your sdcard. To do this, after the PC36IMG flash:

Code:

adb shell

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

chmod 755 /data/flash_image

/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

To check for root do ADB Shell and should get #.

If you're all advancedy you can put on a different recovery image.

IMPORTANT If you get a message here about "not writing bad block", flash it again until you get 0 errors. I don't know how common it is, but personally my recovery has issues with flashing. Do NOT let that be a bad flash.
