I'm sorry if this question had been asked already, but I've been googling for 2 days and I'm going crazy...

I found tutorials such as this one, but I don't have a statusbar_background.png file in the drawable folder, in there I only have status_bar_background.hml. I have statusbar_background.9.png in the drawable-mdpi folder where the other requested files are also located, but I'm reluctant to use it since I don't exactly know whats the difference between .png and .9.png. Another tutorial , besides statusbar_background.png, also asks for classes.dex, extracted from services.jar, and I don't have this one either. I guess it's a Froyo thing all these little differences, but I don't want to improvise, so can anyone, please, help out with a tutorial or suggestions on how to edit the status bar for this built?

All useful help much appreciated! Thanks!

P.s. I'm uploading the framework-res.apk, extracted from my phone, in case someone needs to see what it consists of and how things are organized inside.

Hi

Ive recently been gifted a T-mob samsung galaxy tab. I had a few questions about the same, would be very glad if someone could answer them for me

1) Is it possible to flash it with Indian/Asian firmware? I did some reading aand found out that flashing with euro firmware is possible, so this sould also be possible? If so, can someone point me as to where i might get more info on this?

2) Once flashed, and connected via Kies, if a new firmware of that region is released, would it automatically update to the new version or it will have to be done manually again?

3) Is it possible to flash back to original t-mob firmware should i need to avail warranty in the future?

you help is appreciated.

Flashing to Asian firmware is possible. I did it with Korean Firmware. However, it is useless in U.S. Market. If you are trying to flash it due to language, I would look for other solution rather than changing the whole rom.

2) Once flashed, and connected via Kies, if a new firmware of that region is released, would it automatically update to the new version or it will have to be done manually again?

Most likely it will need to be done manually.

3) Is it possible to flash back to original t-mob firmware should i need to avail warranty in the future?

Yes it is possible to flash back to T-mob firmware. Check Rotohammer's Roto backup process.

Hi All! (pohe = phone)

I have a strange "problem": sometimes when I receive a call, I hear the caller's voice before I pick up the phone. I hear that she or he is breathing, speaks to somebody, etc. Same thing as in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5W0OWDPhn0

How is it? Do You know something about it?

Now I use LeeDroid 2.2, but the same thing happened with the stock ROM, so I don't think it's ROM-related...but who knows...

Thanks!

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzaraT:
Hi,

I've been considering installing a custom froyo rom on my Hero, currently running the standard 2.1 sense rom from HTC.

I'm mostly concerned with speed and stability. So will the overall speed of my phone be better with a custom rom (as 2.2 generally is faster than 2.1), will it run smoother, scroll smoother? And how the stability on the current roms?

Can you maybe recommend one?

I'm not so much interested in the new features, but mostly on the speed of the device. So what would you recommend?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
I rooted my phone the day I got it back in August 09 and have no regrets at all.

The devs who create the ROMs and custom kernals are usually very good at optimising them better than HTC themselves, so yes... chances are high you will see a big improvement in speed and stability. It doesn't even have to be Froyo.

You do have to be prepared to do a lot of reading and try a few different ROMs and set-ups to get the best out of your device though, but the end result will be worth it.

As for what ROM to go for. I've stuck with VillainROM 12 (Android 2.1) since it was released as it does exactly what I need it to and seems to be very stable. With Flykernal 12-pre2 it's is also very fast, although it was fast enough anyway.

I've never really been tempted by any 2.2 ROMs to be honest. I've tried most of them out but not enough to give any recommendations. Give me a 2.2 Sense ROM with Tristan's SenseVillain theme and I'll happily say good bye to VR12 though.

So, my suggestion to you would be (all at your own risk obviously):

Root it, do a Nandroid back-up, find a decent ROM, flash flykernal, download SetCPU from the Market and then just have a play about until you have a nice mix of speed and stability.

For detailed instructions of each step check the FAQs and guides in the Hero Development section ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzaraT:
Yeah I do understand that it will take some time etc for finding roms and all. I've earlier installed custom roms on older windows mobile devices :)

Anyone can recommend a froyo rom then? It should be faster than a 2.1 rom I would guess. I can live without sense :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
Floyo 1.2.0 and Flykernal 12-pre2 would be a good place to start your testing then.

Also look into FroydVillain 1.7.2 or even CyanogenMod-6.1, which most non-Sense ROMs will be based on.

Have fun :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LDJ:
I was attempting to flash my phone with a custom ROM and only got as far as booting in recovery mode. when I selected 'Apply SDCARD:update.zip' for ClockworkMod I got a message saying that file verification had failed, so I rebooted the device.

Now though, I cannot access the device over USB and the USB settings option (Settings -> About Phone -> USB Settings) is no longer present in the device!

I've rebooted the phone but it makes no difference. I get the audible alert when I connect the cable, but nothing on the device or my computer.

Has anyone seen this before and knows how to resolve it?

Thanks

[G Tablet Accessories] mdterpfan:
I get a "magic file mismatch:" when I boot so I cannot copy files to the device directly and I cannot get the sdcard to be read even after changing the command recovery file to say sdcard2
[G Tablet Accessories] roebeet:
This is in the wrong area, FYI.

Did you install clockworkmod .12 or .13, and then try to update the ROM using one of the mods? If so, this is a common error as those newer cm's don't like unpadded boot.img's.

If so, Mrbobrowitz actually had this exact issue last night and managed to fix it by downleveling clockworkmod to .8 and then re-running the update.zip.
[G Tablet General] eviltuna:
Check it out guys, found this while surfing, looks exactly like the Malata zPad which is the same as the gTablet, except its the 1GB version.

http://www.androidpads.com/2010/12/...rbread-tablet-for-500-aka-viewsonic-g-tablet/

Its running Gingerbread and the manufacturer says it'll get Honeycomb.
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Malata is selling these things like hotcakes to tons of resellers. So there's no doubt that there will be ZPad ROMs with Gingerbread, since even if Viewsonic doesn't care, the other companies will. Honeycomb is also pretty much guaranteed - Tegra 2 is the reference tablet hardware since that's what the Google Tablet from Motorola will be running. And the ZPads are basically just a few drivers away from stock dev Tegra 2 dev kits.

Now if we could just get our hands on those few drivers, we'd be all set. :)
[G Tablet General] popezaphod:
Until I see an About screen confirming Gingerbread, I don't believe it's running anything but FroYo.

Hi people!

I leave i Sweden and it's very cold here right now. Anybody want to take their gloves of to answer calls on a touch screen Android phones.

We (north people) need an app that makes it possible to answer the calls with physical button.

I use HTC Desire. I think that the optical joystick button in the middle would be perfect. Or may be a search button? It is on all the android phones.
[Android Software Development] Rotundjere:
hmm, that may an issues for all Touchscreen device..

Wow, very nice gabbana!

I think its almost perfect. I have some small suggestions, don't know if its easy to do this?

1. The signal strength icon: readability issue, can you make the bars a little bit easier to read. Like you did in your previous taskbar theme, Dusk Taskbar.

2. The battery indicator: It always give a full battery indicator, is it possible to put the percentage of load in it? Just like you also did in the Dusk Taskbar theme (with white text in it).

It would be great if you could edit these things!

I just update DXJPA to XXJPU + Darky 5.2 and find that FM Radio does not compatible with my region (Thailand). The FM Radio from DXJPA will have 2 decimal places so I can tune to some stations like 125.25FM but now XXJPU FM Radion only has 1 decimal place so I can not tune to such stations.

Can anyone provide a method to use DXJPA FM Radio in XXJPU? I already tried to copy the apk and odex files from DXJPA to XXJPU but it did't work.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTen:
Hello there.

I'm a new Archos 101 16GB User having a mixed experience.

I feel that what I've got has huge potential, but just isn't being fulfilled - don't know if anyone else feels that.

I've come straight to tablets from netbooks and an iPhone, and have tried not to have any preconceived notions about how iPad sets the bar for these devices, although it does seem to be the case.

I'm finding, knowing very little about Android, that manufacturers have apparently rushed to force-fit a phone OS in a bigger package, which in respect of certain features makes the A101 seem like a giant (largeprint) smartphone. An example of this is the way in which the small, dainty iPhone-worthy icons for Apps can only be laid out on the 'desktop' panes with massive margins of space between them because the Android system seems to rigidly adhere to strict grid patterns for layout when really what users in this day and age want is user-definable pixel-perfect precise placement of elements. Of course, even iPhone is lacking this configurability.

Anyway, I'm currently trying to overcome my disappointment with the UI and the usability and consistency of desktops across horizontal and vertical orientations (Beautiful Widgets look 'OK' in portrait layout, and fugly in horizontal orientation), indeed the feeling that while what I wanted was the unified visual goodness of a WindowsMobile 7 type platform (or indeed the style brought by both HTC and third party developers (SPB?) to WinMo6, or indeed the carefully tuned visual loveliness of some of the HTC Android skins (Sense?) what I've actually got is a pretty clunky and grumpy Linux build that doesn't play well with its own software applications.

This is only a seventy two hour evaluation so far.

I've been looking at benchmarking, and have been led to Quadrant.

So I've got a batch of results, and I'm wondering if anyone cares to compare results and then compare notes.

I've already wiped and reinstalled the fresh FroYo firmware on the device, and am using gApps4 from these forums. I've populated with some apps and such, and had very unsatisfying attempts to switch from the stock Launcher (LauncherPro and ADW) as well as attempting to find usability in QuickDeskPro, mostly to no avail.

So in this 'stock' but loaded with apps state, Quadrant gives me a result of 780.

Then I've rooted with z4root and run SetCPU to give me 1000mhz on demand, and Quadrant gives me a result of 933.

Since then I've used SetCPU to give me 1000mhz on the 'performance' (non-scaled) setting and I get a result of 974.

With people in various forums talking about Archos Internet Tablet devices running Froyo giving them up to 1200 under Quadrant, I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong or lacking?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazingwolf:
The 1200 scores you are talking about came from beta software and not the release software. Something was changed in the release version that brought Quadrant scores back down to those of 2.1. Don't read to much in to Quadrant scores though as they don't really affect real world use.

As for apps, the main issue is screen size and resolution. Many apps were not written with a resolution of 1024X600 in mind. So they don't scale very well. Beautiful Widgets is one of those. Once more developers become tablet aware and as Google increases compatibility with tablets this issue will go away.

The Android home screen is what you make it. There are other launcher, as you mentioned, that can be more customized however, there is no real theming that can be done on the 101 until it is rooted. This is the same for all Android devices unless of course you get a phone from HTC or one of the other OEMs that add their own theme to Android.

I think your main issue is that you know very little about Android and you are expecting it to be as evolved as iOS is even though it hasn't been around as long. New version of Android are coming that will be prettier and more tablet friendly but it will take a little time for it to be perfected.

I get 820 on a temp-rooted archos 101 8GB with 1GHz set by set cpu.

Appearently the H264-coding takes much too long... my htc desire takes a fraction of a second to pass this test while the archos takes several seconds (20+). I read in another thread that the hardware isn't supported yet by Android-API on the Archos, which will be changed in the future, i presume.

Another glitch: The second 3D-test is much slower than on the Desire (7fps compared to 25), with some errors on the moon (black triangles). Perhaps the OpenGLS-driver is faulty in some way. The first 3D-test, however, shows 3-5 frames more per second than the Desire (clocked at 1152 MHz).

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dufflecoatboy:
I'm not sure if you're interested, but my Samsung Galaxy S used to only do about 900 on the Quadrant benchmark with Android 2.1, it was laggy and slow and really seemed a bit disappointing! Then came Froyo! My oh my, what a difference, unbelievable! It's snappy, touch, and it's there, spin, and it spins, breath, and it feels you! And, it also performs excellently in a Quandrant test now, usually in excess of 1700, even out performs most Nexus One phones I think.

It's absolutely blown me away that a simple software upgrade could entirely change a user experience so much! Battery life has also improved dramatically, at times giving me upto 12 hours or more with general use (regular texting plus photos etc). Which is really great for a 1500mAh battery.

So, I wouldn't give up. Froyo is a really smooth incarnation of Android, and future releases will no doubt get even better. It's exciting seeing what having a company as powerful as Google, backing an opensource project like Android can achieve.

While Microsoft and other companies are focusing purely on developing products from a financial profitability standpoint, Google seems to be able to focus more on simply developing a really excellent product.

I think the biggest 'downside' to Android is that numerous companies overload it with bloatware and don't optomise it enough for their hard ware. There is maybe just a general lack of understanding on the importance of making Android work WITH not against the hardware it's on.

Keep the faith though, have a play around with it and I'm sure eventually things will improve for you, otherwise, if you're really disappointed just go and buy a Samsung Galaxy tab or something similar! Samsung does a really good job, even though they take a looooooong time for updates!

Try using an app from the Android Marketplace called Quick System Info to check that is it working correctly. Your internal memory may still go down as only portions of the apps (i.e. data) you install are sent to the sd card's ext partition.
