Hey, is there an update that will stop the bootloops? I had to restore to when I first installed this. I also lost my 3G connection. Please fix ASAP!

Transparency MOD:

If you want to have a transparent notification window (the window shade), you can follow these steps:

Required:

- a working adb connection (you will need a PC because of the executable below)

- a transparent status_bar_background.png (if you do not have your own, the one i used is attached)

- xUltimate-TP.exe (attached)

- a file archiver (i used WinRAR)

Note: This should work on any Android phone running Froyo.

Firstly, you need to copy services.jar and framework-res.apk from the Android Phone to your PC

1.)

Reboot into Recovery (fake-flash, Unrevoked, or adb recovery, they will all work)

2.)

adb shell

mount /system

adb pull /system/framework/services.jar c:\

adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\

3.)

Optional: Copy the framework-res.apk and services.jar files to a separate directory.

4.)

Copy xUltimate-TP.exe to the same directory the files mentioned above are located in.

Run xUltimate-TP.exe and wait for it to say it is finnished (it takes about 2 minutes to complete)

5.)

Open framework-res.apk in WinRAR and go -> res -> drawable-hdpi-v4

Copy your status_bar_background.png into this folder inside WinRAR by dragging it over the window.

Close WinRAR

6.)

Copy the patched services.jar and framework-res.apk to c:\

7.)

adb shell

rm /system/framework/services.jar

rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk

**CTRL+C (to exit back to the windows shell)

adb push c:\services.jar /system/framework/services.jar

adb push c:\framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

adb reboot

And that's it.

I have attached my patched services.jar and framework-res.apk

If you are running Defrost 2.0+, using them may work for you (I am using DeFrost 2.4).

Major props to:

as it is his executable that patches the transparency.

[Desire Android Development] shoey-n:
I've asked the same thing and no one has replied, I assume you mean the notification drawer?

Changing the png file alone doesn't add transparency, it only does on the notification bar, there must be an xml file in framework-res.apk which handles transparency for it, but I'm so inexperienced in xml I haven't tried looking and there's so many xml files it would take days to convert each one to "readable" xml and find which line of code among thousands controls it
[Desire Android Development] phunkycow:
I haven't tested it, didn't have the chance, but you can check here

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/47283-release-xultimate.html

Look for xUltimate Froyo Transparency Fix :)
[Desire Android Development] fllash:
Yeah, i mean the notification draw - that you drag downwards.

Thanks for the link, im checking it out right now.
[Desire Android Development] sckc23:
I tried patching the service.jar with it but it doesn't seem to work.. anyone else have tried too?
[Desire Android Development] phunkycow:
Did you make sure the background image of the "notification drawer" is transparent? Or applied it using the stock framework-res?
[Desire Android Development] fllash:
phunkycow,

You are a Genius,

It worked like a charm!

For anyone who is interested, the steps i followed were:

1.) Reboot into Recovery

2.) adb shell

mount /system

adb pull /system/framework/services.jar c:\

3.) Download the Transparency patch (I've attached it if that makes it easier)

4.) Copy the services.jar from c:\ to a folder (i used the desktop), and make sure that the Transparency fix executable (xUltimate-TP.exe) is in the same folder.

5.) Run xUltimate-TP.exe and wait for it to say it is finnished (it takes about 2 minutes to complete)

6.) Copy the patched services.jar (it overwrote the one in the folder) to c:\

7.) adb shell

rm /system/framework/services.jar

**CTRL+C (to exit back to the windows shell)

adb push c:\services.jar /system/framework/services.jar

adb reboot

And that's it.

I have also attached my patched services.jar, and framework-res.apk with a transparent

status_bar_background.png

.

If you are running Defrost 2.0+, using them may work for you (I am using DeFrost 2.4).

Now, you MAY NOT notice any transparency straight off the bat because your theme may not have a transparent

status_bar_background.png

.

If you find that it isnt transparent, i have attached a transparent

status_bar_background.png

You need to add this to your framework-res.apk.

Major props to:

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/47283-release-xultimate.html

as it is his executable that patches the transparency.

Josh.
[Desire Android Development] phunkycow:
Glad I've helped, even a little. I was lucky enough to bump to that thread accidentally after looking for ways to deodex! You may want to edit the original post with the steps to apply transparency, and maybe edit the title as well? I'm sure other people might be interested as well :)
[Desire Android Development] sckc23:
I did. I took the background image from Amer v4 (which is transparent) and flashed both the patched service.jar and new image to the phone. The notification panal ended up solid black.

Anyway will definitely try it again to see if i have any luck this time=)
[Desire Android Development] NegativeOne:
Can someone post a screenshot? I could have sworn I have tried all this already to no avail.

edit: also, I thought that the services.jar patcher mentioned above was for the notification bar. Does this only make the notification bar transparent, or the actual background of the shade (where not covered by notifications)

By pulse do you mean light up? If so, I think they turn off and on depending on the ambient light...assuming you have your backlight brightness on Auto.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublue:
It's a matter of taste, both the ROM's is 2.1.

So, YOU should test both of them for about a day or so for each.

And then figure out the one you liked the most. :D

If you want to know the difference, open both of the threads for the ROM's in different windows. And see what the ROM's can offer that the other one can't. ;)

i'm bought Mega a months now and i downloaded some themes in my mega but the wallpaper is still the same...is there any possibility to change the original theme on it? how?
[Touch2 ROM Development] Frank C:
Sure you can do that: with M2DC. When you have a M2DCT file put it in the theme folder and press apply in M2DC program.

When you have a TSK or PNG wallpaper you can do with M2DC or via start/settings/today/view.

My HD2 went suddenly dead (no recognizing SIM card, no bootloader mode, etc). What should I do? Buy a new HD2 or are there any good replacements for the HD2. Advice much appreciated!!

Miraculous Revival

After several hard resets, several flashes of stock ROM and reformatting the SD card, the HD2 suddenly came back to live again and even recognized my SIM card again. Don't know what happened, only thing a know is that the battery was becoming very hot and was draining like hell. So, in order to try to avoid another event of a dead HD2 I ordered a new battery.

Thanks for time and reading.

Sometimes my battery was becoming like yours, "very hot and was draining like hell", so i odered a new one, to change it, before having problems.

On the website, worldwide free shipping and you have choice between two battery :

- HTC HD2 battery (1300 mAh)

- HTC HD2 battery (2400 mAh)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] copo:
Hi all,

My wife and I have been using Galaxy S for about 2 weeks (just switched from 3GS) and even I don't do a lot of voice call (about 30 minutes in the pass 2 weeks, but my wife voice call a lot), we both encountered several times of voice call problem, I can hear from the other side, but she/he can't hear me, re-dialing can't be solve, need to reboot the phone to recover that.

My firmware is JF7 and I use TasKiller with Auto kill when screen is off, just added the browser and Gmail to the ignore list, not sure if this may related.

Any clues on this? Anyone have the same experience? Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lisette:
Have you tried disabling the autokiller completely? Does the problem still exist?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] copo:
That's what I'm thinking so I will disable auto kill for my wife's Galaxy and i have already been disabled today.

However, just want to know if there is any known issue -- perhaps if there is any of the process which is explicitly can't kill at anytime? Cus sometimes I use the TasKiller widget to kill all tasks the signal bar will gone and display as the signal is disabled (sometimes not) but it will get back the signal after a moment, say 30 seconds. So I think there is some tasks related to this but I'm not sure which one.
[Desire General] JBristowUK:
Hi,

I'm off to Switzerland shortly on holiday and would really like to take my Desire and use my internet based applications (Endomondo, Picassa etc).

I'm currently with T-Mob who state that data transfer using their SIM cost £7.50 per MB, which I seriously do not want to risk.

Can anyone recommend a cheap (ish) Swiss based SIM card that has a competitive data rate. I've tried Swisscom, Sunrise and Orange, but they are either too expensive (one was 0.10CHF per 20KB!!!) or it doesn't state the cost.

I've noticed there is a Migros shop nearby who sell SIM but they also don't state the data rates.

My fall back plan is to disable data on the phone and let GPS record everything but then only upload when I find a free wifi zone.

Leaving on Sunday so would ideally like to find the answer beforehand.

Really appreciate any help / advice
[Desire General] dmarbacher:
I can recommend

- Sunrise Prepaid SIM Card

- Sunrise surf

www1.sunrise.ch/Angebot/Sunrise-go-dayflat-pul3bAqFI.obkAAAEkYZFQzDCg-Sunrise-Residential-Site-WFS-de_CH-CHF.html

You will pay 20CHF first and this is directly your prepaid money you can use. For the "Sunrise surf" option you pay 7.50CHF/Month and you have 250MB included.

Best ist if you go to a sunrise shop (Zürich Airport or somewhere else maps.sunrise.ch/shopfinder.php?lang=de&objID=Address&val1=8000&val2=&val3=&val4=) and tell them you want those two things and they will arrange that.

have fun in Switzerland,

Dave
[Desire General] foxmeister:
This is incorrect. Since you are on T-Mob UK, you can just get one of their Euro Internet Boosters (see here). According to the FAQ, it is valid in Switzerland.

It's probably more expensive than a local PAYG solution (£10 for 50mb), but it is much better than £7.50 per MB. I'd suggest that you keep mobile internet turned off though unless you actively want to use it to keep the usage down.

Regards

Dave
[Desire General] JBristowUK:
These are both really useful thanks. I may leave the data off until I can find a sunrise shop. If there isn't one local I'll opt for the T-Mob £10 solution. I've just spoken to them and apparently the phone will prompt me to purchase either of the 3 packages. Makes it quite simple and certainly cheaper than my current charges.

Thank again.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
I can confirm that it does work. When I went to France a couple of months ago, I was unable to get email etc on the phone until I'd opened up a web browser and "bought" a Euro Booster.

Regards,

Dave

How does this thread have any added value next to the developers-maintained thread in HD2 General?
