[Android Themes] Mega Maniac:
Ok, so I have been playing around with LauncherPro and Bettercut over the past day or two and this is driving me mad. I have a feeling this hasn't been solved yet at the only information I have been able to find on the Internet is more or less threads with what I'm about to ask ending in "don't think its possible mate".

I didn't think the fine folks at XDA would think anything was "impossible" :D

Firstly I have made a video of what I am trying to achieve just so its easy to understand what my problem is, especially if you are not using the same apps that I am.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Def_XwC9rM

For those who cant watch the video -

When in sense both the mail and messages

shortcuts

have green icons next to them to inform you of how many unread messages you may have. You cannot change these icons with Bettercut or similar because they will automatically revert back to the same sense icons, something to do with sense controlling these particular icons I suspect.

When in ADW or launcher pro the green icons next to the mail and messages shortcuts do not appear, you can have the icons and you can change them with LP or bettercut but they will never have an unread count by them.

Oddly the messages icon in the dock bar of LP has a unread count but I assume this is the system or LP itself creating this. The same cannot be said for the email if placed in the dock bar it still will not inform you of your unread count.

There are two ways that occur to me to go about changing these icons, firstly would be to find the images Sense uses and modify these, I simply have no idea where to look for them. Secondly would be to find the service that tells sense to update its icon and use this to create a bubble similar to that seen on the messages icon on the LP home screen. The latter would obviously be the preferred solution but perhaps more complicated.

If this could be achieved I think it would certainly help out alot of people trying to mod the look of their devices, its certainly very frustrating not being able to use these shortcuts in alternative home launchers.

So if anyone has any suggestions let me know and I'll dig further :)
[Android Themes] Mega Maniac:
Any suggestions from anyone on this, tried searching up and down for any threads or post relating to changing or modding the sense launcher but nothing. I know this is possible because the latest revision of MDJ's android build for my HD2 has a modified HTC messaging icon with counter.

anyone?

[General Questions and Answers] jm017@msn.com:
I want to say I love this site and have learned alot. I have tried for quite a time to get GPS to work on the xv6700, tho it seems much disinformation has been spread as far as a GPS being within. I have torn down this phone to see for myself if the MSM6500 was in this, which it is. Therefore I believe it does have this ability. I recently installed a program called WPS by Skyhook, which is a Wireless Positioning System. Now just a footnote; my phone has no carrier, I only use it for surfing the internet with wifi. To utilize WPS the site tells me I would need an active internet connection, however it stills works with no connection!!! It seems as if I have gotten the internal gps to wake up. I use Open Mobile Maps and it works excellent. I pickup satellites with Google Maps just to test at home (so far as many as 10 satellites). Can somebody else please duplicate this to verify exactly what is going on here? I just want to emphasize that this is with NO CONNECTION to ANYTHING!!!
[Epic 4G General] suzook:
Wondering if a DEV could figure out how to think my epic has been provisioned for data on HFA? I have an epic working on verizon. The only way to get data working is sending an mms...this in turn makes the phone believe it has been provisioned, and data works. I have to do this on every reboot...I believe it is due to the HFA not telling the phone/rom it is activated. I currently have the HFA "frozen" using titanium, so i dont get the annoying popup. I would greatly appreciate any help or guidance.
[Epic 4G General] david7586:
did you manually program the phone yourself? if so, then make sure the provisioning settings are set on a profile other than 0. If profile 0 is active, then i believe the phone is gonna try to sync with sprint servers
[Epic 4G General] drewX2:
This is a bit OT, but how did you get it working on Verizon? I don't mean programming wise, rather them allowing the ESN on the network? Is Verizon more lax than Sprint? Is there a similar workaround to get Verizon phones on Sprint?

Lots o' questions...
[Epic 4G General] nobloat:
Easier than you can imagine. I have my Epic working on SERO also which isn't allowed either.

None of this can be discussed on this forum, however.
[Epic 4G General] Poryhack:
He most likely changed his MEID to a that of a "donor" Verizon phone. It's illegal blah blah...
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
4g working?
[Epic 4G General] drewX2:
I've heard of this, but I believe its rarely practiced (and extremely difficult).
[Epic 4G General] nobloat:
Nope, 4G is an entirely different beast. I'm happy with an Epic with 3G tho... for 30$ a month.
[Epic 4G General] Poryhack:
I can't speak for the difficulty of changing providers (as that involves a bit more then just "cloning" the phone) but judging by the fact that at least 3 people in this thread have messed with their MEID I have to disagree on its rarity. It might seem rare because the laws are supposedly stricter on this then, say, warez...
[Epic 4G General] suzook:
Thanks for hijacking my thread guys.
[Epic 4G General] drewX2:
Your welcome :)

Anyhow, I know how to change ESNs, but prefer not to do so. I thought there was a way to get them to add the ESN to their database. Therefore, nothing to see, move along...
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
No data plan?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Wish I would have known this was possible before switching to Sero premium and paying 20 dollars a month extra for no reason. Damn.
[Epic 4G General] nobloat:
If you knew how to already you wouldn't have PMed me asking me how. It's not a secret or anything, just not widely discussed. Use GOOGLE.

It's SERO... 30$/month for 500min, nights & weekends @ 6pm, unl text, and unl data.

You pay 20$ extra for 4G and also Anymobile.
[Epic 4G General] drewX2:
I thought there was a way of convincing them to add the ESN to their database. I am not into swindling carriers for services, nor illegally changing my ESN. However, your decisions are yours alone.

I'll continue to pay for my services because I can afford to do so. One day when you grow up, you will too. Nonetheless, thanks for your douche response!
[Epic 4G General] keeepinitgansta:
In order to get rid of HFA make sure that you get a data profile on the phone.

goto your dialer and put in ##3272# and enter in your verizon details.
[Epic 4G General] dslisfree:
Try ##data# > work mode > change "not provision" to either "cdma" or "wimax/cdma" must know your spc/msl code.

OR use an app like titanium backup pro (must be rooted) to remove the sprint .apk app that deals with hands free activation.

Report if that will fix your issue.
[Epic 4G General] Poryhack:
I've gotta say yours seems a hell of a lot douche-ier then his. I don't understand why people are so content with carrier bull****. If I have to break the rules just so I'm not paying for a service I can't even use (4G) then I will.

4G is just the most potent instance, I could go on and on...
[Epic 4G General] suzook:
wow, you guys really ****ed my thread.
[Epic 4G General] ztahoez:
if you want to fix the provision status just use qpst and change the mip tab/profile 1 to default@sprintpcs.com and it will think its been provisioned thats all you have to do
[Epic 4G General] dslisfree:
Wouldn't that mess with his verizon's profile? Or do they use a different structure for data?
[Epic 4G General] ztahoez:
You should put your verizn inf in the number two profile and 0 and 1 should be sprint
[Epic 4G General] spartasr:
Wait I'm confused...the Epic is a 4G phone but yet you're still only paying the $30 Sero price? I thought you had to upgrade to the Sero Premium plan for $50 to do that.
[Epic 4G General] keeepinitgansta:
There are ways around this that cannot be discussed in this forum.
[Epic 4G General] KitsunePaws:
I'm assuming CDMA Workshop.

Anyone know how to turn off 4g and just use 3G/1X?
[Epic 4G General] suzook:
In the pulldown bar, there is a button for 4g....turn it off, that simple. BTW just DEFAULT@sprintpcs.com in tab 1???? Meaning put that exact line in it? Or the default settings?? Thanks
[Epic 4G General] Williamh85:
Yeah I do that and I get nothing at all. It doesnt even attempt to try to connect 1x or 3g

Yeah putting just that DEFAULT@sprintpcs.com it worked. BUT I ended up changing it to myinfo@boost bla bla bla and it did the same thing. I think the key is to have a profile 1 with something in there. Just cant have 0 anymore.
[Epic 4G General] suzook:
That should work, try a reboot after you click it. Thanks, i will try the profile 1 info. Happy holidays

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R0g@t:
I have seen that a number of people think that the genetic global is a better 2.1 firmware than the rest. Any truth in this?

I am in South Africa and still no update here. Flashed to nordic a week ago and stoked with the results. Just want some pros and cons of other 2.1 versions...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iead1:
There's no differences between any of the firmwares except for the SO-01B doesn't have a couple of the "bugs" related to the LED not turning off. The build number on the majority is the same, which would mean that they're identical.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zm4:
Well, I have been using Global Generic and I am quite happy with it since I am in the middle east and got the market.

I don't see any differences between except for a fact they were released at different times.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VirtualXDriver:
Although the hardware is believed to be identical, there are some small differences I noted between the 2.1 global generic and the firmware I flashed on my SO-01B with SEUS:

- LED during mid-charge is not orange but yellow like in 1.6.

- Once charge reaches 100%, the bright green LED goes off. → The behavior is identical to 1.6

Build fingerprint: 'docomo/SO-01B_1233-7397/SO-01B/es209ra:2.1-update1/2.0.B.0.138/ihBA:user/release-keys'

The differences are big enough to make the JIT method not work.

It's not a difference in kernel.

In fact it just looks like the framework is odexed, or your core.jar is missing?

It's a slightly different build, I assume a newer one, if only by a week or two.. Everyone else has a "A" build, we have a "B" build.

found this on ebay for the Aria/HD Mini

http://cgi.ebay.com/2-x1500mAh-Batt...ccessories&hash=item3361186c80#ht_5481wt_1044

do you think the 1500mAh is a big difference from the 1200 OEM?

I need opinions.
[HTC Aria Accessories] dexmix:
it's the same or worse then OEM.

but try it out. its cheap enough for a spare.
[HTC Aria Accessories] brswattt:
why is it the same or worse, not better?
[HTC Aria Accessories] dexmix:
no one has shown that those cheap batteries last any longer then an OEM battery.

It would be awesome if someone would prove they last longer - but many people say they last about the same or less.

If anything they are not very reliable... and will just up and die (as in will no longer charge).

you get what you pay for.
[HTC Aria Accessories] wccrayzor:
OK here is the answer that you are looking for. Don't waste your money on the Battery. mAh in a battery really comes down to battery design and how much of a charge the battery can hold. If you have a 1200 mAh battery and a 1500 mAh battery you should expect the 1500 battery to be larger in size and or a better design. Since I doubt that you can get a better design in such a low price and the OEM battery sells for roughly $40, don't waste your time and money buying those batteries off e-bay. You run a risk of the battery not working, and even worse with such a cheap design, you may even get a battery to 'leak' power too fast and you will end up frying your phone.
[HTC Aria Accessories] shadeslader:
I bought a spare off eBay for 3$ works just fine but it does last about as long as the oem battery, I'd go almost as far to say its the same battery since it has all the same logos and certifications

Only cons are that I need about 3 of the batteries to last me through the day (data hog)

[HTC Aria Accessories] wheelbarrowjackson:
What are you doing on the phone that makes you charge it so often?

I've only had mine for four days and still on the AT&T ROM, but in my normal use (Exchange sync, GMail, SMS, bluetooth & Market), I'm only charging it at night and even then, the battery gauge shows more than half full. I guess I'm not a heavy user.
[HTC Aria Accessories] dexmix:
haha, no you are definitely not a heavy user.

A heavy user can take the battery from full to empty in 4 hours of heavy data use, and even less time with heavy voice use.
[HTC Aria Accessories] rushwal:
Ok, that makes me feel better about having to charge mine during the day... now if I could find a longer cable so that I could actually use it while on the charger....

Hi all,

A little while ago I screwed up one of the software tweaks in the app 'Galaxy S Tweaker', then my phone would not boot. So I decided I might as well attempt to flash an I9000 Froyo ROM (can't remember the exact one at them moment, but either JP3 or JM5, I think.) and it is running great! except for one pretty big thing...my phone doesn't work as a, well, phone. It simply says: 'no service' and I'm obviously not able to send/receive text messages or calls.

Before I had 'bricked' my phone, I had it unlocked and running fine on the Telus network here in Canada. (I used the popular method as detailed in a different XDA thread, but it would seem as though Samsung has patched that, because I tried that method again, but to no avail.)

I would also like to note that I have tried 2 online unlocking services, and BOTH of them have come up negative, saying they can't retrieve an unlock code for my device!

Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Thanks,

Dylan

I hope so. My Swype is rubbish since upgrading to FroYo. It never seems to find the correct word even tho im ultra careful when swyping! Never had so many problems when I was on Eclair version...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenkiller:
Ok, I managed to get rid of the built in Swype and replaced with the latest Swype beta.

Currently it's version Swype v2.10.52.13753 iirc. You should be able to find it with Google.

Also, u need Titanium Backup or SystemApp Remover, or whatever app you know can uninstall system apps. A filemanager that can delete system files is also needed, like Root Explorer.

I'm using Titanium Backup (the free version should be work fine).

1) First change to another keyboard to be safe.

2) Press the Backup/Restore tab at the top, scroll to Swype. Click on it.

3) To be safe, make a backup of Swype. Then Wipe Data and Delete it. It should be dimmed and marked out after deletion.

4) Using Root Explorer, delete \system\lib\libSwypeCore.so. To be safe, make a copy of it to ur sdcard in case anything goes south.

5) Reboot.

6) Now you should be able to install the latest Swype beta without any problems, you will need to enable it in settings after that to use it.

Did not experience any force closes or quirks so far....hope it works for u guys too. :D In case of any problems, going backwards to restore libSwypeCore.so and Swype via Titanium Backup shouldn't be too hard.
