Word of advice... NEVER, I mean NEVER, copy/move files around in /system/framework/ with rootexplorer. You will quickly enjoy an unending barrage of FCs if you do so. It's like trying to swap the engine of a car while it's running... Don't expect favorable results.

When you boot into recovery mode to perform the ADB push/pull commands to try new system/framework/ files, be sure to mount the system partition FIRST using the following command:

adb shell
mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
exit

After doing that, I HIGHLY recommend you rename your original file (see example of how to do so below) before copying over a new one. This way if your screwed up the MOD, you can easily revert back by deleting the new file and renaming the old file back. It's much quicker than a full nandroid!

For example let's say you are going to use a new services.jar

adb shell
cd /system/framework
mv services.jar services.jar.original
exit

Now issue your adb push/pull commands.

just wondering if these commands would work on a Vibrant?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
Send me your services.jar, tell me which ones you want, and I'll gladly look at it for you.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] typeadam:
OK, I'm about to beat a dead horse w/ this question but I need to make sure before I take time out to try this:

I don't even know how to state this so it's not wordy but understandable. Here we go...

I do NOT want to see the reticle icon - regardless whether my 'location' is ON or OFF - I do NOT want that there. I've been running AOSP ROMs for a long time and none of them have this. I don't want it on my Sense ROM either. Complete waste of space especially since I never turn my location off.

HOWEVER,

I DO WANT the GPS-satellite icon to pop up when I open up Google Maps, and disappear when I close Google Maps. (Using Google Maps as an example).

So I guess what I'm asking is, when I do the reticle/GPS mod, will it remove the reticle ONLY even though I will not be turning location off? And, will it still show the little GPS-satellite icon when using Google Maps?

Yeah... anyone? :D

Thank you, hope you can understand that one...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] snovvman:
Cutting to the chase, the answer is yes. "GPS on" symbol shows even after the "GPS enabled"/"GPS disabled" reticle are removed.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
Removing the reticle only removes the on and off reticles, not the other gps icon (ie the one for acquiring and the one for acquired gps signal). So So yes, you will see the gps satellite icon when google maps is on, as that is NOT one of the reticle icons.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SwiftJudgement:
I'm trying to hide the clock on my Captivate, but when I apply the services.jar, all the system icons are hidden. (wifi, cell signlal, battery, alarm, clock). When I apply my old services.jar, everything comes back.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xphildox:
is there a post somewhere about the transparent notification background?

(i tried to search, forum said search was unavailable :( )
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
You performed the MOD wrong. I know this because I've done it as well.

Yes there is. LOOK HERE

I have a question on removing the battery icon.

I have the following that shows up - if I comment out the line, then I get the battery with question mark.

iput-object v0, v1, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->mBatteryIcon:Landroid/os/IBinder;

If I add this line to it - then all status bar icons disappear.

invoke-virtual {p2, v3, v6}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarService;->setIconVisibility(Landroid/os/IBinder;Z)V

Trying to figure out what command removes the icon but so far its a Fail on my part. looking for some help with this.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] datajosh:
I take it no one has ever found a way to remove the AM/PM from the clock? I've been digging through the files in services.jar and scouring Google but it looks like it might not be possible on the EVO. Which is too bad because it would make a great addition to Gingerbread themes :)

If you use 24 hour time on notification bar you will not lose space that am/pm took up.

Hello

Big thanks for the TIPS !

I try to hide time on Froyo UK v3.34.117 on Motorola Defy but i have two line like the post and so add the text on the two line, after time don't show but Wifi and Bluetooth and probably more don't show too .

My line on the StatusBarPolicy.smali :

.line 605

invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->updateClock()V

invoke-virtual {p2, v3, v6}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarService;->setIconVisibility(Landroid/os/IBinder;Z)V

AND

.prologue

.line 134

invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->updateClock()V

invoke-virtual {p2, v3, v6}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarService;->setIconVisibility(Landroid/os/IBinder;Z)V

In ORANGE the line i put .

Thanks if you can help me .
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dpdurst:
This worked for me for this line only to remove the clock, just put a # in the front of the line like below.

.line 605

# invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->updateClock()V
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] InstantKarma:
Very helpful guide, thank you. I actually used it to get my clock

back

, after flashing a speedo battery mod which also removed the alarm and clock.

I may have missed if it's linked on this thread, but I found this post invaluable for the actual how-to edit the services.jar.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mick711:
Hello thanks i just try with only the .line 605 and the time show :confused:

So do you think if i edit .line 134 only the time don't show ?

EDIT :

Thanks work fine with # added on the two .line :D

Work GREAT I'm so HAPPY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vibrant General] ShanDestromp:
So I've got one of the many Vibrants with the flaky GPS, and none of the fixes out there seem to improve the problem. My local T-Mo store is understanding and quite willing to swap it with a new one since I'm still within the 14 day policy. The only catch is I want to put the phone as close to stock as possible before I do the trade so they can't say it was something I did to it. Right now I've rooted deodexed, and I've got clockwork ROM manager going. I've also deleted almost all the stock cruft and swapped the calendar / camera apps. Because I was so eager to make it "mine", I also failed to make any backups BUT my wife happens to have a totally stock SGS from which I can scavange from but I'd like to do it without having to root it or anything. Is this possible? If not would thread 739091 ("True Stock 2.1 firmware for vibrant"; sorry I can't post links since my account here is still new) get me there?
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475&highlight=stock is what you're looking for. Just flash this with Odin and you'll be fully unrooted.
[Vibrant General] ShanDestromp:
Awesome, I really appreciate that. I'm not timid when it comes to making the phone my own (I was an early adopter of CyanogenMod for my old G1) but I just returned from a deployment and the whole 'scene' has changed a lot more than I expected lol.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Hehe. you might want to give the new T-Mobile Vibrant firmware that was leaked, it fixes the GPS problem (result may vary). Returning your SGS for a new one isn't going to fix your problem. It's not hardware related, its firmware.
[Vibrant General] briguydj32:
An exchange won't fix your GPS issues anyway so you mine as well keep the one you have. Trust me, we try to swap them out customers all the time at my store.... It's a known issue and Samsung is SUPPOSED to be sending us an OTA soon
[Vibrant General] Droidicus:
Just want to say thank you for serving.
[Vibrant General] ShanDestromp:
Hmmm, quite a few people I'd talked with locally that have the vibrant said swapping worked for them. Is it possible that newer firmware has been released for phones with a newer "birth" date than mine? Then again who should I trust more, people who hardly utilize their phones, or the people who drool over the prospect of new mods and hacks? hehe. I guess I'll just call T-Mo back and let them know I wont be bothering with a swap after all.

Hey, my pleasure. If nothing else, I have the Army to thank for bringing me out to Hawai'i and giving me the chance to meet my now wife hehe.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
ALL out of the box Vibrant's have the same firmware. You need to update to the newest firmware version, it works really well. GPS is better than it is on my CLIQ.
[Vibrant General] QwertyAccess:
I dunno, i've heard reports of GPS working perfect out of the box for some, and the new firmware doesn't seem to do much for my GPS,

10m accuracy at most unless I leave gps on for about an hour and maybe i'll get 6-7m accuracy, but driving, it SKIPS, (still at 10m) instead of gliding along like my G1 did.

So i'm considering perhaps swapping mine.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
10M of accuracy is not bad and if you want to get technical, GMaps interprets the data differently. What shows in GMaps as 10 meters will show up as 7 under GPS test. I've got my Vibrant here at 6 Meters under GPSTest and 10 under GMaps. Get a grip people.
[Vibrant General] ShanDestromp:
I wont speak for Qwerty, but in my case I was LUCKY to get 10m accuracy; usually the best I could get was 40m; usually after 5-10 minutes of 'searching' and when you're driving an unfamiliar city such as Washington DC Like I was this past week, 40m is far too inaccurate for navigation. Your 'get a grip' is completely tasteless and uncalled for in this thread.

That said, I took zephiK's advice and just flashed the new 2.1 (thread 780935), and I must say its a lot better. I can get a 10m fix indoors in less than 5 seconds from a cold start (EG without GMaps knowing where I am at all); before being indoors I would never get less than a 1000m 'fix'. As soon as I get mine fully tweaked, I'll be sure to flash my wifes phone as well since she's got the same issue.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
No thats what im saying about.. He does have the update on his Vibrant

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Vibrant General] ShanDestromp:
Anyways, Qwerty I just hope you get lucky with your swap and get a working gps and hardware recovery.I've been poking around and quite a few people are saying some of thenew vibrants have issues getting into recovery and down load mode
[Vibrant General] QwertyAccess:
Yeah, i'm still considering doing the swap, sometime this week, perhaps even today, got up this morning, and phone was off, (Charging Battery Symbol on the screen),

I'm not running any of the custom roms nor am i OCing. Just worried if I do the swap I may end up with even more problems. I don't know what it is with the Samsung phones, if perhaps a lot of the phones have hardware problems or what. I have only used the original stock rom, and the leaked samsung rom.

I don't mean to be picky with my phone, but I remember my 2 year old G1 getting easily 3m lock as soon as i open up the maps inside my room, and navigating with it, was extremely accurate as well. I also never had restart issues with the phone, till after dropping the thing really hard, and then even the restart thing went away.

Today, I'm lucky to get even 40m lock again, on that same leaked updated firmware. My gripe with the samsung vibrant is that there seems to be some sort of hardware problem with the phone and samsung is not saying a thing about it.
[Vibrant General] briguydj32:
I'm telling you guys... don't bother with a swap... I work in a very high volume store and have seen almost every customer come back with GPS issues. We won't even swap them anymore for customers because TMO has listed it as a known issue, and Samsung has announced the firmware update soon... A swap WILL NOT fix the issue, but if you decide to swap it, don't go whining to us our TMO about how you "keep exchanging it and none of them work..." They know this, and YOU know it.

Update to 026 maybe.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
Or update for an app via market?
[XPERIA X10 General] M3mPh1z:
the point i think he is getting at is how does he do the update?

try OTA maybe?
[XPERIA X10 General] Nimche:
For all the update notification which have been posted on this forum, me for once feel really jealous not getting a notification ever to the extends that I think I should go back to older firmwares to get something. + I hate this Generic Global firm which I bet is not related to anywhere? Is that the version they give aliens?
[XPERIA X10 General] metcard:
PC companion checks for phone updates about 2X per week or maybe every two days... It's better to use SEUS as it downloads updates as they become available.

The update your phone is asking for is probably just 026 btw.
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
Doesn't anyone actually understand what he is asking?

He wants to know why the update is available on his phone but not on pc companion.

Have you tried Sony Erisson Update Service?
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
Did you enable automatic updates? ;-)
[XPERIA X10 General] Evostance:
You have to use SEUS to download the firmware, not PC Companion.

Your phone does tell you to go to Sony Ericsson's website and read how to update it ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] Nimche:
YES!!!:eek:

One thing that I just noticed. It was a while back that SEUS started to instructing for updates to just turn off your device for 30 seconds, just noticed that PC companion says that 5 s without battery removal?
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
remember depending on vendor the firmware may not come via seus dome are ota only
[XPERIA X10 General] deebeepee:
Myne does the same!! Well annoying!

Says a new update is available, and to connect my phone to PC Companion.

When I connect the phone it says the phone is up to date!

I try to do it OTA and it just says "You must use a computer to update your phone"

Checked SEUS and it says the latest update was released 24/06/10, I've already got that!
[XPERIA X10 General] Nimche:
SE is playing the trick. Wondering if the "before the end of september" means exactlly at 11:59 PM on Sept. 30th./

I agree that the animation does nit have the quality to match your graphic or Kaos's rom. It looks much better in my head and I'll be glad to pass the baton to someone more qualified.

I will take it down if you so prefer.

My phone woke me up this morning because it somehow got into an endless rebooting cycle and I cannot for the life of me fix it. I do not have access to recovery, when I try to enter recovery it just goes back into the boot cycle.

I did a wipe from HBoot but it did not help. I also reflashed some various pc36img files, but they did not help at all. I was not able to find a similar situation on the board, since the solution for the other ones all included going into recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Fascinate Android Development] DeezNotes:
Question: Is your Superuser app asking for permissions from apps? Mine isn't. On my old rooted Eris, if I ran an app such as Titanium Backup or Root Explorer, I would get a dialog which would ask if I wanted to grant that app root access. This dialog was via the Superuser app. I don't get that now. It seems like any/every app on my phone has su access.

I'm wondering if it's just me or if this is the way the current root exploit works.
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
It's just you. Try running root explorer or a screen cap program, and verify that you have root access. You may want to use an updated Superuser.apk too, I know the one I'm using (2.3.6.1) asks, (unless I told it not too).
