ok found out more .. it is not trivial to add new battery icons for each percent.. you have to decompile the f/w and edit the xml and recompile etc. etc. much simplier to replace icons you already have.. so

this is as above for only jm7 f/w

i just replaced the 0 thorugh 100 battery icons with the percentages (in 20 percent incements) that come stock with the framework and also put the better wifi and gps icons in (with color) from the above referenced post.

also my transparent notification bar is in.. make sure you have enough space to copy the new framework-res.apk into /system/framework or you will screw up the phone requiring a reflash ... I removed some built in samsung crap with the attached sscript ...

warning

only for i9000 euro jm7 firmware

requires rooted phone

i used root explorer to copy the new framework.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ukdtweak:
You can't just add in extra png's for the extra battery levels, there is an .xml to be adjusted too I think...

Have a look at FightSpits Circle battery mod... does the same thing and there is a repository thread in here that has almost All firmware's covered for the Galaxy S :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
ok after the 4th of 5th attempt i finally got a jm7 framework with all 100 percent icons working for the above referenced thread.. as before i also included:

1. 1-100 battery icons with percentages

2. new gps icons with color

3. new wifi icons with color

4. new signal and roaming signal icons with color

5. tranparent status bar

again install the same way.

again only for f/w jm7 and makes sure you have room in /system and copy to /system/framework with root explorer or your own method.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lelf:
Thx you, i will try it. Which color are they? Can u make a framework with blue icons?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
the are the greeen,red,yellow ones.. the only blue ones i see are the vertical ones and i dont like those they seem off center .
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
here are the same changes for jm8 .. note i havent tested it yet..

but am preparing to install it with the new modem code... but am waiting a few more days to see what the consensus is..

Hello all,

I just flasmy 32B with different ROM with kernel 2.1 or 2.2, and each time, after reboot, all call in go directly into my voicebox. My phone is not ringing anymore. Flash process is done without any issue.

After a flash, does some option must be set to get call in ?

thanks for you help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radrob77:
noob here and need assistance.

I have purchase a htc desire, but when phone is reset to factory defaults it defaults to some arabic language. I have only the following options:-

*first 5 options are non english (some arabic variations), then

*English (Qatar)

*English (Kuwait)

*English (Bahrain)

*English (Lebanon)

*English (Jordan)

Do i need to load a english ROM possibly to have english & english only?

Also, there are preloaded arabic apps that i don't want and cant delete either???

I'm guessing cause this phone was purchase over the net, it has come from the arabic region? How can i over come this issue?

Desperate for assistance.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techmulla:
I bought desire and it came rooted with LeeDroid v1.9 .. meaning it already had the 2.2 update installed.

My problem? I want to reflash it to stock rom, the 2.1 eclair. How should i go about without demaging my phone? Dont ask me why I want to do that.

PS: This is my first android phone. Any help and pointers in this regard would be appreciated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Do you know whether it was a branded phone before being rooted/flashed?

You don't want to go to 2.1, get the stock 2.2 and flash that

i am an android newbie, so all this flashing and rooting is french too me :)

sorry for being naive.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
In terms of getting the ROM, click on the version number on my signature (if it asks for a username/password both are shipped - there's also the chance the link is down. If it is, try again later). That is the full ROM.

To flash the ROM, connect your Desire to your PC and make sure you're connected in HTC Sync. Then just run the RUU file! If your phone was previously branded the CID check wil fail and the update won't complete. No biggie, it just means you have to make a gold card to flash it - search 'make gold card desire' on here and you should find a decent guide (I'd say use THIS one)

If it does complete, then you have a genuine unbranded Desire and you can enjoy the 2.2 goodness!! :D

[Hero CDMA General] dean.d:
First off I agree that sense is great. I hated giving up all the widgets like you said. But, I,m a practical person and a phone shortcut on the rosie is redundant, im my opinion, when you have a hardware key that works just fine. Don't get wrong, because if i did NOT have the hardware key, the rosie would be the $h!t. I also find it redundant to have two clocks on the screen. That could have come in handy in Iraq when I had a 9 hr time difference, but now, not so much. AOSP, in short, is more practical to me. There are hundreds of sense base clocks and a lot of them are free. And the ones that aren't can be "acquired" anyway. ADW has some kick a$$ sliders and cm6 has a sense theme that looks just like the mother humper. Really don't get what the deal is but to each his own i guess. Then again, your a senior mem so I'm pretty sure you know more than me.;)
[Hero CDMA General] LiquidSolstice:
I certainly agree about the Phone button being redundant. I have already remapped mine, but I find myself not really ever using the middle button anyway, so it doesn't bother me.

Yes, I know, I did the whole "Fancy Widget" routine and found it to be inaccurate compared to the Weather app itself, and was of lower resolution than the regular one.

The problem isn't just coloring the titlebar black and using Fancy Widget, the problem is the rest of the widgets have no equals, and the rest of the apps excepting the HTC IME mod have no equal either. The dialer on AOSP, I maintain, is still utterly terrible and incredibly inefficient.
[Hero CDMA General] Neo31697:
The one thing i like is the fact that from the contacts i can add the birthday. It is so nice that i can say " ok spell your name first and last. Now your number, and now your birthday. " it just makes it so much more personal. Especially when you drop them a text on the birthday. Yeah for brownie points. Not to mention the MMS that i the reason i stopped using a AOSD rom. I still mantain all the respect in the world to the rom developers just i ,like you, prefer Sence based rom
[Hero CDMA General] Mac11700:
I don't know about being a wimp for using a sense rom..I just think it is an individuals preference and opinion to what they have on their phones.

I agree the dialer on my phone isn't the greatest,and would love to have it respond faster to my touch,but that is about all I could ask for when it comes to it. As too the contact list.I want nothing to start making suggestions on who I wish to call for me. I can and much prefer to choose someone directly from it,and it is no different when using any sense rom.

The typewriter is flat..nothing that a sense rom can do to ever change that fact. If you want a true tactical feel then get a physical keyboard..:p I do agree with you on this though..it isn't the most responsive keyboard I have ever used,but the stock sense keyboard to me is worse and laid out wrong from the start. I'll be glad when the swype keyboard is more readily available..even if it does wind up costing a few dollars.

Widgets..some cost $2.99 many though are free,and do exactly what they are supposed to do.

Again,it is all a personal choice on what a person has on their phone,and what they consider to be utilitarian or beautiful. As I see it,Ubuntu is refined and certainly is a breath of fresh air for those who enjoy having a nice theme on their phone. What can be added and taken away has a certain appeal for many people. My wife loves this look..

Her needs wants and desires are far different than many others. She also wants her phone different than anyone else so she wants something that is clean..elegant..and yet sophisticated. She can have this with this home screen,and those icons.It isn't cluttered with anything,and is to her liking. To her and many like myself,having animated weather widgets is not needed or wanted,nor is having a boring ass flip clock wanted either.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,just as we all set these phones up to our individual needs,wants,and desires. While having a sense rom is fine and works for many with everything it offers,it isn't the end all, for everyone else. It can be utilized for what ever we load on it regardless wither it is a sense based rom or not.Some here seem to forget that others have no need for all of the what a sense rom offers,and they also forget we all have different taste in decoration and different needs. Some have minimal needs but yet still like to customize their phone to their personal taste.Some here never use their phone for work,but others do,so their needs are much different.

In the end it is just a matter of personal taste,wants,and desires. If you feel a sense rom is the best..well..that is your opinion and certainly are entitled to it. I see being able to choose what we want on our phones as a more important topic than which is better..because this we can do,and not have to settle for what our carriers force upon us.

I used to be a Die-hard sense fan.. but Now I like simple.. which is a few widgets..etc and nothing more.. and everything within reach of my finger.. 3 screens at the most..etc..
[Hero CDMA General] mbuchholz:
I'm a fan of the sense apps, but I prefer clean and simple on my home screen. So, I use launcher for the simple, clean look it provides and then I just go to my app folder and use the sense apps because the ROM I'm using is a sense-based ROM. It's like the best of both worlds. I can totally understand the OP's point of view and I don't like to pay for apps that do the same thing the sense apps do. So, I have just combined my likes from the two worlds and tried to remove the dislikes. All-in-all, I'm very pleased with the personalization the android platform offers, which I would risk saying is why most of us have the Hero in the first place.

Kudos to open forums and everyone getting to express their own personal opinions. And it's good to see no one flaming the OP for his!

[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
First I want to say that had it not been for CM6 I would still be using sense, but have had far better performance from this AOSP rom than with another Sense ROM. I use to love sense and would never give up its look and feel. Now if they can get a sense froyo rom that runs as smooth as CM6 I might actually use it. Most are looking for performance and speed. CM6 gives that to us.

This depends on what you want your clock to do. I agree that the AOSP clock app isn't as visually pleasing, but I don't need a world clock or stopwatch or timer.

That is why there are themes and different launchers, just like you can do with ubuntu.

I have actually had more accidental answered calls with the sense lock screen when I pull my phone out of its holster. The stock htc sense lockscreen is the one that is visually appalling

are you to lazy to just press the home button. I think that shaking it is more of a show-off to other people

No matter what ROM i run i prefer swiftkey over aosp or htc. I do notice that the aosp does not have as much lag as HTC's

If you have it use it. Others don'w want sense and therefor pay for these apps. How much did that $2.99 hurt you?

Dialer One does the same thing. I have a themed one since I didn't like the original look

There are apps that will let you do thi.

I use calwidget which is free and there are also many more than do it to

Yes you have to download some app to do what sense does, but they still take up less space than all the sense crap. Just look at the size of CM6 + google apps and the size is half of the sense roms.
[Hero CDMA General] jwhistler:
The wonderful thing about having an Android phone is that we can tailor the device to suit our individual tastes and preferences. It's kind of like being an American!

I love Sense UI and miss much of it now that I don't have it but, for me, the trade-off is worth it. I enjoy my phone now in ways I didn't believe would be possible.

For others who don't view Sense UI as creating problems, that's great!

No one will criticize someone for having their phone perform the way they want it to! :)
[Hero CDMA General] whoiswes:
This.

Plus, Sense = slower than molasses. CM6 = faster than a monkey on fire.

So, FOR MY NEEDS, CM6 >>>>>>>>>> Sense.
[Hero CDMA General] c00ller:
I use a Sense ROM but I really can't stand the slowness of opening and navigating the HTC contacts, messaging, calendar, clock, and music apps. They move at a snail's pace compared to their AOSP counterparts, which frankly navigate through menus almost instantly. So, I replaced all of these with the AOSP 2.1 versions (except for contacts, which is not really replaceable).

However I agree with the HTC dialer app being the best in terms of functionality.

[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
I don't see how the vanilla lockscreen is uglier than the Sense one at all. Never had a problem with unlocking or silencing the phone while in my pocket either, gotta thank the Menu button unlocking the phone being disabled by default for that..
[Hero CDMA General] roadster92:
I am a Sense user up until now. There are no disputde that sense + widgets are nice and available readily from HTC (That's what we paid for). Of course AOSP is different. It's an open source development and offer as plain as possible so that users can freely use any widgets and customize the phone the way they wanted. To me Sense is just a layer on top of the AOSP or another term it's just a Launcher that was written and customized by HTC.

Why am I walking away from the current 2.1 sense?

-It's simple CM6 Froyo 2.2 OS is faster than the current 2.1 OS.

-If I compared Sense 2.1 vs AOSP 2.1, I would pick Sense because the performance is the same but on the plus side is Sense package is readily available.

-If I compared Sense 2.1, AOSP 2.1 vs CM6 Froyo. Froyo is faster by a mile ( I am not talking about benchmark, i am talking about real time performance)

I only switched a way from sense 2.1 since CM6 was available as nightly and there are couple of times turned back to the latest Sense ROM but only to find that it was a disappointment in performance. You just need to be patient and find the right sense like widgets for your CM6 or wait until Sprint release Sense 2.2 :)
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Sorry to say this, but this is the most useless thread ever. You just stated an opinion... it doesn't help the board at all lol. But I personally use CM6 RC1 with my Sense theme on it. I use Fancy Widget and Calwidget, and it looks exactly like Sense, but has the complete customizablility of CM6.

[Hero CDMA General] LiquidSolstice:

[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Well I pretty much just meant that your post was just an opinion, and most people could care less about the fact that you would rather use Sense than CM. And with a title like "Yes, I use Sense UI. Deal with it.", you're almost bragging about how you use it, almost in a provocative manner. But continue on.

[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
This thread is frankly stupid. Everyone is entitled to use the ROM they want to use, no matter what others want to. I, personally, kept my phone on stock 1.5 until December 2009 when I found out about AOSP and loaded it as fast as I could. I'm currently running CM6 and couldn't be happier with it. That's just my opinion. Just use the rom you want to use and leave it at that.
[Hero CDMA General] LiquidSolstice:
IF you though the thread was stupid, then you didn't have to reply to it. If you peopel can't get it into your head that this thread is just as much me sharing my opinion as you sharing yours by replying, than maybe you shouldn't be on this section of the forum.

I posted this because I got so sick of all the condescending comments I kept getting for using Sense, so now I'm turning around and posting the reasons WHY I use Sense, and I'd say my reasons are pretty fair.

So as I said before. Yes, I use Sense. Deal with it.
[Hero CDMA General] theimpaler747:
+1 unneeded hostility, no one is trying to ban sense or anything.
[Hero CDMA General] theimpaler747:
No one is condescending you. I like sense, I just use CM6 because it's froyo and fast. I like froyo you like sense. I'm fine with that.
[Hero CDMA General] LiquidSolstice:
Right, no one is condescending here, but not in the rest of the forums, not in the IRC, etc etc. The only reason why it's all so onesided in this thread is because none of the people who have just downright insulted me for using Sense are posting in here (Looking at you, IRC room).
[Hero CDMA General] theimpaler747:
I agree, the people in the IRC are mostly disruptive idiots. They have even insulted me for trying to help people with CM6 no less.
[Hero CDMA General] LiquidSolstice:
I guess then I'm not the only one who's had terrible experiences. I just got frustrated and decided to post my reasoning for using Sense, I never quite meant to just attack non-Sense users.
[Hero CDMA General] theimpaler747:
Yeah your not alone, see my Q&A of cyanogenmod thread if you want to see some of their idiocy, and that's with people running AOSP. I stay off the IRC for just that reason, and I try to actually help people here :)

[Hero CDMA General] seeddemon:
I loved sense ROMs until I used CM6. The only thing I missed from sense was the dialer. I like dialer 1, but its not as complete as the sense dialer. The main reason I love CM is because of all the toys cyanogen has added. I love being able to control Pandora using the CM lock screen music controls and playing games using my Wii controller. I wished sense UI was alittle more customizable.

[Hero CDMA General] YoungSinema:
wow! people really took the point of this thread the wrong way. I think the OP was just trying to explain why he likes sense. After reading his post I thought people were going to have friendly discussions and comparisons about ASOP and Sense roms. Instead it feels like a Sense vs. CM6 thread.

Anyways, I've used both and I love sense. CM6 doesn't have enough features to win me over. I love eye candy and I'm currently designing everything on mine phone to fit my preferences. The speed of my sense doesn't bother, actually my phone is pretty face. I barely noticed the speed difference when I had CM6 on my phone for a whole 2 1/2 days.

I appreciate the OP's maturity and changing the content of the thread.
