Something for ChanceM to possibly look at...

I noticed that in the Add-ons section you have the unthemed market and Gmail applications. Personally, I don't like the dark market and Gmail, so I selected those two. But there's one thing that I do like about the themed market and Gmail, which is the notification icons. Like, the simple gray notification icons for installed applications and new e-mails.

Would it be possible to leave the markets unthemed but still have those icons in the notification bar? I know it's possible with the Gmail app; I've done it myself before, it's just a pain :p

But every time I try to change the framework-res icon on Vending.apk, it FCs when I try to open it. Thanks (:

where do i see system/app. Can i download this .apk. open it in app manager and install? what does this do exactly? i am interested..
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
DL root explorer, open it, navigate to system/app. Check the bo in the upper right corenr to change it to a read/write system, paste it. Enjoy your new colored menu!

Mikey I couldn't update the latest gmail update ... think you could get a nodded one up?
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
Okay calm down breathe.

Now open up a term:

su

busybox mount -o rw,remount /system/

rm /system/app/Gmail.apk

reboot your phone

DL gmail from market.

Something funky happened when I updated mine. I tried to do an update, it said it was an unsigned version or something along those lines. Then I chose to remove it from system/app and download from the market. That led to "incompatible version" error. I rebooted and tried downloading it from the market again. It worked.

What's this "unsigned version" business? I was using the "stock" one that comes with the kitchen. Did you guys do something to the app?
[Captivate Android Development] cole26:
Thanks, I was having a problem too. This cleared it up.

BTW, Awesome ROM, been running it for the past week. Used to have a virgin Rogers Captivate on 2.2. This has cleared up all the things not working with stock (CallTrack, Chrome to Phone). In the time i read over the entire thread (seriously), it went from 5.6 to 5.8. And after having it for 3 days it's now on 5.11? Love it.

Forget it. I DLed super manager from the market. Gave r/w permission and replaced the settings.apk with yours. Now, I have colors in the settings menu :-) thanks a lot for the work. See your 10 mins didn't go waste :-)
[Captivate Android Development] antonyvijai:
I did it through super manager (same as root explorer). One request. When I long press the power button, the menu I see is in black/white in serendipity 5.11. Can you give a .apk to change that to color as well?

Gmail update 2.3.4

I love this ROM. Superfast and every app cruises just fine. The only situation I have found since I updated to 5.11 is that it would not take the update for Gmail 2.3.4. Any sugestion?

Look at the past few pages before you ask a question...
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
You have to delete the previous version completely, ChanceM wrote an adb/terminal script a few times, I'll try and find it

Edit: Never mind, it was posted as I wrote my post
[Captivate Android Development] paleman27:
My friend, I appreciate your gesture. However there are 789 pages on this thread. Is there a quicker way to find my answer than scrolling thru every post?
[Captivate Android Development] paleman27:
AReynante:

How do I?

su

busybox mount -o rw,remount /system/

rm /system/app/Gmail.apk

I have no idea how to follow those instructions. I've learn many things with you guys. I'm sure if you walk me thru this one I'll get it down right.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Easiest way is to download terminal emulator on the phone, then type that in line by line.

Otherwise, you'd have to use ADB, which is a longer set of instructions :p
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
Enter those commands via this app.

You could try the "SEARCH THIS THREAD" box above the first post on every page.
[Captivate Android Development] paleman27:
It worked! Thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] antonyvijai:
Don't worry. I had the same issue yesterday and I successfully did it. Method #1: Go to market. DL Android Terminal Emulator. When you open the app it takes you to a command prompt. Your exactly the same script given above. Type su then hit enter. Then the next linr write the remaining lines hit enter. Get out of the app. Go to apps. Your gmail app is already deleted. Reboot. Go go market and DL the new Gmail app. That's it

Method #2: Go to market. DL root explorer (get super manager, it is free). Open the app. Select file explorer from the list. Press Back up level folder untill you reach a stage where it does not open another page. select system then app. Scroll down to gmail.apk tgen delete it. Reboot. Go to market and DL the new gmail app. Cool :-)

Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] paleman27:
Thank you. I used method 1.
[Captivate Android Development] paleman27:
My friend, It's easy when you know the answer. Doh 2 u good buddy!
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
All I'm saying is that if I were having - for example - a Gmail problem, I'd put 'Gmail' in the search box before posting.

Just sayin' :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] paleman27:
Ok. I understand. Now here is a question for you. I'm using Serendipity 5.11. I had 5.8 and had to go from 5.8 to 5.9 and so on. Is there a way that I can be contacted once an update gets out for this ROM without me having to check the thread periodically?
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
No, but you can subscribe to the thread, and have it check daily/weekly/monthly
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
Not exactly, but you could subscribe to the thread (under Thread Tools, next to Search This Thread), and when you get an email with a new version number - BAMMO! Instant notification!

Ok, so I am using the stock gmail app and when through the process of deleting /system/app/Gmail.apk, etc. etc. Everything is updated and working now.

I went to adb pull the new Gmail.apk and store it safely so I could continue to use the stock app while staying up-to-date with Serendipity versions, but the file doesn't exist! I even did a find for Gmail* and gmail* but could only find .db / .xml files, no .apk files. (Yes, I rebooted a couple of times just to see if it only showed up after a reboot, or something strange like that, but no such luck.)

So does anyone know where this elusive Gmail.apk lives?
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
>>> ...but how about the option to get rid of the clock completely?

Answer: duct tape

I just put some over the clock and also over the hole on the top of the phone so that my battery charge stays at 100 instead of leaking down to 98 when I remove the USB cable.

EDIT: Don't forget to click on "Thanks" for this useful post.
[Captivate Android Development] tycon:
I have the exact same issue. I have been using this rom since the beginning, and have always had it. I have tried every modem out there to no avil. I did notice a change when I changed my WiFi sleep policy to never while plugged in. I am on 5.10 now and this setting should have nothing to do with it even more so as I do not plug my phone in to power in my car but that's all that I changed. I am going to rip the modem driver out of the orginal rom to see if it fixes it. Bluetooth is more omportant to me than H.

P.S. Is it bad form to reply to your own post?? :eek: LOL

Kiding aside, Chance and/or Mikey, I'd love to have the updating Serendipity pic in a smaller size, I'd use it on another forum to adverrtise the ROM, but it has to be a lot smaller. Any chance?
[Captivate Android Development] PizzaAmerican23:

you dont have to go through all that to make your gmail stock.

The first thing i did after i flashed this rom is put stock gmail, different battery app, and mms dialer on there.

I thought it had to do with my car. At first i thought it had an older rom in its memory, so it wouldnt take another called "galaxy".

[Captivate Android Development] ChikiBujia:
About the Gmail issue.

Please don't duh me, but what I did when that problem came up in my phone was, I deleted the ROM's Gmail through Titanium, rebooted, and installed the new version from the market.

It worked, but I was wondering if there's a difference with the method y'all are using?

Battery Recal

Flashed serendipity yesterday and this am after charging and unplugging it automatically drops to 97%. I could have sworn I read on here somewhere how to recal the battery (someone posted a deatiled walkthrough) but I searched the thread and read every page from 740 till now and can't find it. It may have been on another thread. Can someone please direct me to how to recal the battery?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I, for one, welcome our dark-themed Gmail overlords.
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
1. Connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until it shows 100%

2. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off.

3. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the battery indicator shows 100% (you can use vol-up/vol-down to make the indicator come back up when the screen goes to sleep).

4. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on.

5. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the battery indicator shows 100%.

6. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it.

7. Delete /data/system/batterystats.bin or use recovery mode to delete battery stats

Ya, the entire thread. Coming from an HTC Magic, where flashing was pretty straight forward, I wanted to try and understand as much as possible to avoid having a brick. Odin-ing back to stock still doesn't make sense to me, but hopefully, with the constant updating, I may never need to. :)

No disrespect or anything, but if you want it to look like Touchwiz but fly like Serendipity, you might try the new Cog4 rom. Sounds like thats the look/feel that you're going for.

[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
I find that the colors go well together. All the Rom's that i see that are themed to be like gingerbread go too far with the colors. I think that there is too much black.Also, i like how Mikey runs his ROM and he really has an eye for detail. I would also much rather not mess with Cog because DG never really adds much to his rom.

I was running speedmod and now I'm on GB. Decided to try it out after reading some comments on this thread and wanting to try out OC/UV. I've had a couple of freezes and one sleep death today but other than that I don't really see much of a difference. My main criterion is battery life and I'm not sure GB gives any more than speedmod. Then again, I don't think I stayed on speedmod k13c long enough to really compare. Would like feedback from others who are running GB and have used speedmod, too. What oc/uv settings are you using?

When you decompile an apk it should put all of the source files within a folder called "out". Did you first decompile the apk? If so, where did it place the source files?
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
DL root explorer. Browse to system/app and delete Gmail.apk. Reboot and then re-download it from market. You will be solid. Titanium is just warning you because its an app that isn't 3rd party. You will be A okay to delete it. Good luck with it!
