[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhoffy22:
I am in a bit of a pickle here and I figured that I would ask the most active and helpful forum community that I have ever came across and I hope that I am not bashed for doing so considering this really has nothing to do with the EVO.

I recently received a notification from my ISP about downloading copyrighted materials and was threatened that my interned may be shutoff if I do not stop downloading copyrighted materials. The thought of my service being shut off is a bit scary considering there is no other ISP in my area.

To make a long story short, I looked into the best possible solutions for avoiding getting caught and hiding my IP and it seems like either a VPN or a seedbox is necessary. My question is does anybody in this great community have any recommendations for a VPN or seedbox to use that you currently use or have used in the past and not had any problems with threats from your ISP?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you

I use utorrents built in ipfilter.dat to block known monitoring IP's

http://blocklistpro.com/download-center/ip-filters/

first go to Run and paste this %AppData%\uTorrent this will open up the folder where you put the ipfilter.dat file. then download the pipfilter.dat file extract it and paste the dat file in the folder you opened up earlier close utorrent and reopen it and your set on the logger tab you will see that it's loaded the file and how many entries its blocking.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhoffy22:
I'm going to have to try that out. I've heard that the list never stays up to date with the most current known tracking ip's as they are always changing so the method becomes ineffective. Any problems so far for you?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
btguard is a good vpn, they also offer deep packet encryption incase you are getting sniffed rather than just ip spammed

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] fruchtfliege:
thx for your explanation! but i found out that it isn't necessary to edit public.xml. on decompiling, it adds automatically the missing lines when png's are listed in stat_sys_battery.xml...

finally i got it working :) if someone else wants the 1% increments, i can write a little tutorial.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mattfmartin:
Yea very interested. I can't stand the stock one. I knew how to do all the theming stuff on sd builds using the theme porters. Nand is different though. So please write that up, also will you post your battery mod for gingerbread:p
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] fruchtfliege:
HOWTO added in 1st post!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mattfmartin:
Thanks for the tutorial. Question though, is this for sd builds or for nand? Or does it not matter?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] fruchtfliege:
it is only for nand-builds. on sd-builds it should be similar, but afaik you don't have to adb the framework-res.apk. you should find here a lot of threads about modifying sd-build statusbars, because it is not that hard like on nand builds.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mattfmartin:
Cool, I'm using nand. Yea through sd builds thing stuff was easy. I couldn't change the compression in the emulator. How were you able to change it? Also is that framework at the bottom the one we use to achieve what the picture looks like?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] veekay:
Background changed and accounts gone as mentioned, but it worked perfectly - well worth it!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mattfmartin:
How did you change the compression when running the batch file?

Edit: Nevemind im retarded.

When i press the 9 to decompile it it gives me some B.S error Saying could not find C:\place-apk-here-for-modding.... The directory name is invalid. Could someone make this work on JDMS nand build?

Alos when i pull the framework res file from my phone it doesnt show up in "projects" Theres nothing in there. However it does show up in "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder..
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] fruchtfliege:
the adb pulled apk files are stored in "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder, not in projects! a project in this folder will only be created after decompiling an apk!!!

you just get the statusbar at top (in fact only + battery icon). the bottom icons and background are custom with using launcher pro.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mattfmartin:
Can you think of a certain reason why i keep getting an error when i try to decompile it?:confused:

This is the error i get

i think you have to install java sdk. without it, the compiling tools are not included, like on jde (i think it's called jde...)

but i'm going to make flashable zips of these files for clockwork mod. only problem is, that i don't know much about linux commands :( i couldn't get it working. i should start a new thread asking about this.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mattfmartin:
If you jump on irc you would get your answer in like 5secs. Room is #htc-linux-chat on freenode. Thanks for the suggestion about sdk. That does make sense now that I think about it;p
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] fruchtfliege:
thank you for the hint. i will ask for help at chat tomorrow. i'm also working on different statusbar colours of gingerbread with original icons. before release i have to get this cwm zip flash thing working!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Archer:
Just a heads-up mate - you obviously can't delete any posts, but you can change the title. Edit the first post and go into advanced mode to change it.

Good luck with your project :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] fruchtfliege:
thank you! i have changed the title now.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mattfmartin:
Hey Fruit Fly, any progress on that cwm zip?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] fruchtfliege:
not really. i forgot my hd2 at home (i do theme works at work) and couldn't test the cwm zip files. on sunday evening i can test everything and tell you whats working and what not!

rafpigna from #htc-linux-chat gave me another choice of flashing easy with an adb script (thank you for that). but some users on german android forum told me it's not working. have to bugfix the files first :(
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mattfmartin:
Yea let me know the outcome;p
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Stevoni65:
Thanks for the tutorial, I wanted something like this for my G1 years ago.

A small side note: Java SDK is not required, but the end user has to modify the batch file so that all executing instances of Java (those not in a string) are replaced with the java executable path (i.e.: "C:\Program files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" with quotes kept).

ADB can be used in the same way. I have neither Java SDK or Android SDK and was able to use your tutorial; but I can't confirm all the features of the apk manager will work without the SDK's.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mattfmartin:
Hey Friut Fly, I finally got mine to decompile. It was a wrong path in the environment varibles. I was rereading the instructions, and Im confused about the part when Im supposed to incorporate your framework-res.apk. I most definetely want to use it for that green circle icon. It didnt say in the instructions where to put the framework you included into the apk manager:( I know its something im overlooking.

Baasically wanted to know when to put the png's from your framework into mine.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Stevoni65:
I think I did the same thing you want.

Before step 9:

You have to change the name of Fruit Fly's framework file and copy it to "place-apk-here-for-modding" and then change the scripts "project" (the filename) by selecting 22. Then decompile and (step 9/10) copy the files he's telling you to move.

Hopefully this is what you were looking :-)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] fruchtfliege:
thank you for your hint! great that you try to help each other. i have a lot to do and beside, things with battery icons have changed on gingerbread 2.3.2 (haven't made own experiences, but some people report that battery mods are not working on new mdj gingerbread 2.6) i will have a look at it next days!

edit: circle mod on gingerbread 2.3.2 now working. update in first post!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mattfmartin:
Still no changes, Didnt get any errors when i decompiled/compiled. I think the build i'm using is incompatible. I even tryed UOT kitchen. Weird thing is its 2.3.1.. Its the JDMS build. Oh well at least i know how to do it now:D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] fruchtfliege:
nice! building own framework is always better - knowledge grows and you can exclude some errors (like you have with a different build).
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] DarkestSpawn:
Will this work on the Droid X stock rom?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] fruchtfliege:
if you mean my attached framework-res.apk i just can answer you: i don't know! i have tested it only on mdj's gingerbread 2.2 (and upwards till 2.5). you have to try if it works! or you can follow the tutorial. it works for all kind of roms and builds as far as i know!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Stevoni65:
You were rebooting after each attempt, right?

From what I've seen either it works or the phone goes into a error loop on the splash screen after you reboot.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mattfmartin:
Yea I rebooted, it didn't go into a bootloop, as I would of thought. Nothing changed though. Unless I'm doing it wrong, which I doubt. I wish someone else was running jdms, so they can confirm this;p
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Stevoni65:
If you want to attach your original framework-res.apk file, I'll attempt to make the changes when I get home. Maybe you're missing something, the steps are pretty ridiculous, took me three tries to get it right.

Modifying the file, theoretically, shouldn't be that different from build to build if you're making the changes suggested here. Since it seems to me like Android reads the main files (not the syst-battery-X stuff) and updates accordingly. Granted, this is all without any experience in Android but other application/OS development.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mattfmartin:
I really appreciate it Stevoni for giving it a shot. Here is the framework-res.apk:D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Stevoni65:
Just gotta change the name back. Hopefully it'll work for ya, it's exactly what I did :cool:

If it doesn't, can you tell me what the catlog errors are.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mattfmartin:
Hey Stevoni, nothing changed on it:( Here is the logcat. I tryed with an updater script, and i tryed adb push. http://pastebin.com/sF8B2Xdh
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Stevoni65:
I don't see any issues in the logcat/catlog (whatever it's called :p). I'll have to mull over why it didn't work, should have. :(
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mattfmartin:
I think that build is just incompatible. Changing battery mods on mdj build worked, so I don't know what the deal is. Thanks anyways for trying;p
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] DarkestSpawn:
Here ya go Stevoni65

Thanks for taking a look
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] thor17:
Thanks for this great tutorial. I just did this and I can confirm it works well with 2.3.2 (using gpc_hd2_gingerbread_v1.5 rom and icons from tyung's nexushd2_gingerbread 2.1 framework-res.apk)

Here's what I found helped:

If you have problems with java or adb, make sure you enter their paths (i.e. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin") into the user environment variable [right-click on My Computer, Properties, Advanced System Settings, Environment Variables, System Variables (bottom window), scroll down and edit the variable "PATH", at the end, add a semicolon, then the path to your java and/or adb.] This is much easier than trying to modify script.bat.

Here's what I did in between steps 8 and 9.

Step 8.5 - Copy custom pngs into projects/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi

If you have a framework-res.apk from another rom that has the custom pngs you want, you can always open that with winrar, extract the battery pngs and copy them into this folder.

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] thor17:
Here's my framework for gpc_hd2_gingerbread_v1.6 rom with icons from tyung's nexushd2_gingerbread 2.1 framework-res.apk

No guarantees it will work for any other rom or version of this rom. For v1.6, I tried using my modded framework from v1.5 and it didn't work, so i had to mod a new one for 1.6.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Phat7:
Here I am trying and failing for hours to work out how to modify the framework from gpc rom with the pngs from tytung's nexushd2 rom, then I decide to look at the latest posts and there it is!!! :D

It should be built in to your ROM, if not then you really need to update. There are tonnes of apps on the Play Store which will do this for you anyway.

HELLO friends !!! (sorry for my poor language)

Im the person who change ROM's every day, i like to experiment with my phone....after another change of my ROM, I got problem with Nexus S freezing , and my "back" batton disappear (no light), after 4-5 seconds everything going to be normal.......SO long story short, I try everything !!!!! nothing help!:confused::confused::(:confused:

The sicret:D was ****ing:eek: (sorry) recovery mod ;)

What I did:

- Go to app "rom manager" (if you don't have install from MARKET)

- all clock mod recoverys (in bottom)

- install old version (example 3.0.0.1)

- restart phone.

After restart come back to "rom manager"

- flash clock mod recovery for 3.0.0.5 (last version)

- restart phone.

And after that wipe every thing ( -WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET, WIPE CACHE PARTITION, WIPE DALVIK CACHE, WIPE BATTERY STATS)

And only know install build you want ( DO NOT INSTALL [ROM] CyanogenMod 7 for Nexus S - Alpha, BECAUSE only after this ROM I GOT PROBLEM WITH)

you can easy install "Unofficial CM 7 - Crackflasher Builds" WORK PERFECT !!!!

I have had my 3rd Captivate die and AT&T is offering me a model swap. The Xperia is one of the options along with the Aria and Backflop.

Question is... Should I swap for the Xperia or stick with the Captivate?

How is Froyo going for the Xperia? I know it will never officially be released, but also understand that ROMS are currently being developed. It looks like a great device, just looking for some advice that will seal the deal.

There are alot of information around the net enough to tell you about the pros and cons of the phone.

Go do an extensive research and read them up before deciding whether Rachael is for you.

Don't want you to buy and regret, ending up whine and complain like the kids here. =/

If you like the phone, buy. If not, try a HTC.

There definitely was never a 2.2 and will never be, although people have been in denial for half a year. Still, 2.1 is enough for me (Live Wallpapers rock!)
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
IMHO the x10 has only two flaws.

1.. impossible to have a call in a noisy environment. You can't be heard and you can't hear them either. Noise canceling bt makes this moot.

2.. SE and ATT have screwed the customer with a unusually short life span. This phone is going EOL in March.

If you don't play games or need multitouch and are willing to root and put a Generic SE rom to get 2.1 now it's a pretty good pocket pda and gps and social networking device. Doesn't have all the video codecs of the Captivate or stereo speakers or N wireless. Of these I only wish for N wireless since home and office are N, and I pull out my x10 all the time to check stuff when not in front of a desktop.

[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
It depends - Captivate is faster(much more responsive) and is getting froyo soon in the US. But, it looks exxtremely ugly compared to the x10. SE have spent a lot of time to get everything looking very good, and i think this is why the phone lags at times. Also, the SAMOLED screen might look nice,but it drains the battery really quickly.

In the end, its up to you: Speed vs Reliability and beauty

As some said :

Captivate : More responsive

Soon getting 2.2 Official (yes i know there are 2.2 around custom roms)

Faster

SAmoled screen(Which if you use white screens,it will drain your battery alot)

Xperia :

Looks alot more prettier

Not getting 2.2 official but we got 2.3 in a custom rom(Not completed yet tho)

Alot prettier UI and very Premium feel (Makes one feel safe with his money spent)

Not as fast as the Captivate (Unless you get for exemple the kX10 rom which IS as fast as a captivate and its very complete 2.1)

So personally,my gf has the SGS and its fast but she carries her charger everywhere and i also hate the plasticly look,where my battery lasted a week and a half once with very low usage and it looks alot better.

After all the goodies from xda, I still can't use my phone as a phone. For that reason alone, I would never recommend the x10.
