[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whitehawkx:
Hello! I was hoping someone out there could point me in the right direction. I'm trying to edit the text colors of the notification pull down. My method is this.

~I first decompile the twframework-res.apk and navigate to /res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml and open it with notepad++

~I change all the values I want accordingly. #ff000000 for black and #ffffffff for white.

~After this I recompile the apk using apk manager. Compression 0 and heap size 512, Y system app, Y keep and then I go into the keep folder and delete the status_bar_expanded.xml I just edited. Then finish recompiling it and it goes through with zero errors.

~Then I push it to my phone and reboot. It goes Vibrant>TMO>Galaxy S logo>black screen and vibrating.

Is there another location where I'm suppose to edit these values as well? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whitehawkx:
Awww can noone help at all?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumaaneface:
Still having issues?

Values have to be edited in framework-res.apk also

if it cause it not to boot it sounds like the new xml didnt copy over and isnt in the recompiled apk. That happenes to me a few times
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yentlequible:
Lets say I have a folder with 20 abstract wallpapers in it... is there a way to have my phone use those wallpapers and cycle through them every 10 minutes or so?

I change my wallpaper too much and it would be very nice if there was an app or something that could do it for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yentlequible:
Wow, right after I made this topic I found an app called wallpaper rotator. Seems to work ok, but it doesn't scale the wallpaper correctly.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thejron:
Went back to stock for a while due to CM7 issues and I now want to try the nightlies. I installed the android sdk on my xp machine along with the revision 4 usb drivers and platform tools. I have the phone in fastboot and when I try "adb devices" I get nothing. I've tried reinstalling everything again and I get the same result.

I have no idea what is going on. On the fastboot screen at the bottom it says

USB Control Init

USB Control End

I've never seen that before...

HALP!:eek:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazodude:
adb will never see the phone while in fastboot mode

use "fastboot devices" instead
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thejron:
Fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command...

WTF

I never had problems in the past, I don't get what's going on. GRR
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Highland3r:
Are you attempting to run fastboot from the correct location?

i.e if fastboot is in C:\android\tools and you're in C:\android it won't work (unless you've setup a system variable for fastboot...)
[Galaxy Tab General] NewForce:
2 days ago, I've successfully tested the Galaxy TAB AllShare function connecting to

my new Samsung 46" 3D LED TV (UA46C7000). Using the free given USB Wi-Fi dongle

(and a free HDMI v1.4 cable too) that come with my new 3D Blu-Ray Player (BD6900),

plugged it into the TV and connecting to my home Wi-Fi router access was a breeze.

After key-in the Wi-fi passcode using the on-screen keyboard of the 3D LED TV and

launch the AllShare function on the TV and Galaxy TAB, the setup is all done within

a minute or 2. During the AllShare connection, I can launch either from the 3D LED TV

or Galaxy TAB to playback those MP4, MP3 or pictures files that stored in my Galaxy TAB.

Before this great thing happening, I was thinking of buying into Galaxy TAB Multimedia

Dock Station, a HDMI v1.3 Type C and an audio cables for doing the same job I wanted.

Now I does not require them anymore. I'm contented and a very happy man now. :) :)

Some screenshots. Enjoy!
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
green with envy!
[Galaxy Tab General] NewForce:
Don't be bro.

I happened to be buying for my Chinese New Year celebration.

Got it installed on the short width of my 3.2m x 5.5m bedroom, this 46" look huge but still just nice for my room.

Anything larger size like 55" would be to big.

Nowaday 3D LED TV prices has cut down by a lot when compared to it first launch in 2Q of 2010 in Singapore.

Think by another 6 months or so, it will almost the same price like a high spec Full HD LED TV.

By another 12 months, it will be around the price of low spec Full HD LED TV.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
Well, happy new year! I wish you peace, health, prosperity.
[Galaxy Tab General] NewForce:
Thank you my friend. I wishes you well too.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] MrTechie:
Hello,

Is anyone who can make a simple android app willing to spare some time for the streak community?

Need a very basic app that will present a list of options, then save selections on the SD card and forward the user to a webpage.

Anyone interested?? pm me for more details. :)

If it's that simple you could do it on your own with this.

[Xoom General] ma42091:
I'm curious as to what other potential buyers here on XDA plan to do with the Xoom and why they want it. Maybe we can discover new uses through other people?

HD recording and playback will be awesome. I've never owned a webcam, so the Xoom's cam on the front will be fun. I'm very excited for Honeycomb itself, the revamped apps should be really cool! Besides all that, I really like the Xoom's exterior and formfactor compared to some other tablets. The Notion Ink Adam has similar specs, but I simply don't like how it looks. Also, the imposed UI doesn't appeal to me personality.

As far as usage, being a musician, I want to put in all my sheet music/real books to have with me on the gig and for personal practice. Having to print off sheet music and also having to lug everything around isn't very convenient. With the Xoom, I'll have lots of music accessible with just a few clicks! Also, I've gotten quite a few eBooks recently that will be more comfortably read on the Xoom rather than my laptop or my tiny Eris (3.2" screen!)
[Xoom General] PuerkitoBio:
Ok, I thought this was going to be more about "why Xoom and not another tablet", but reading your post, it sounds more like "what will you do with a tablet". Anyway, why I like the Xoom over other Andro-tablets is the stock Android Honeycomb experience paired with usually reliable Moto hardware. Other tablets are making waves and could steal my vote though, such as the upcoming Toshiba and HTC ones... All high end tablets are likely to feature Android 3.0, dual-core processors, 1Gb RAM, two cameras, 720p recording/1080p playback, HDMI and USB ports, and the usual WiFi and Bluetooth, so the price (and availability in Canada, for me!) will play a big part.
[Xoom General] ma42091:
I edited my first post adequately, thanks! I should have reworded the title.

Yeah, I am curious to see what HTC will come up with, though I really want a tablet now! Motorola has been reliable and blur won't be integrated in, so it should be a great device. However, if the Xoom's pricing is too high I'll probably just wait for a wifi-only device. By that time, there will probably be more info from HTC since leaks from them are common.

Hopefully it'll be available in Canada for you!
[Xoom General] copualt3:
will regular android applications work on honeycomb? my main requirement is to use medical programs on android and it s currently running on my fascinate/galaxy tab/ipad.
[Xoom General] ma42091:
From what I know, If they work on your Galaxy Tab they'll work on the Xoom. As you're probably aware of, some apps aren't coded to run on a screen size bigger than a phones, so like in your Tab, they will have be scaled. Honeycomb might compensate somehow though!

As Honeycomb begins to settle, more and more developers will begin to adjust their apps to at least scale to the Xoom's size if not make full use it's screen res.
[Xoom General] p-slim:
I am curious just to see what HTC has to offer but I'm pretty sure i want the full Google experience and no sense ui so I definitely want the zoom over any HTC product right now.also HTC needs to start using better processors and screens
[Xoom General] ma42091:
And HTC should work on faster OS updates. I'm sticking with the Xoom unless it's too pricey...but even then I'll wait until I can afford it/prices lower! I hope the bootloader isn't locked...
[Xoom General] cslawren:
I want it because I actually don't think it's too pricey (assuming 700 is what we're looking at). I'm in the market for a laptop replacement, and with an Android phone and a newly built desktop at home, I just don't need a full blown laptop replacement, especially if I can just remote into my desktop on said tablet. The (likely) dealbreaker for me is a locked bootloader. Has anyone seen any information on the bootloader?
[Xoom General] copualt3:
Thanks, ma42091, for the input. The xoom will be an awesome tablet. Motorola has really step up in terms of top notch specs and design. The competion is really challenging htc and th they have a rumor tablet coming too.

Samsung Galaxy Tab
[Xoom General] ma42091:
It's not too much from what a high-end smartphone costs off-contract now in reality. Though, for a poor college student... :)

As far as the bootloader, there's no info yet. This is Motorola's latest statement:

We'll have to see if anything new info leaks by the Xoom's release, hopefully it'll be unlocked.

You're welcome. I agree, Motorola has set high standards. Info on one of HTC's tablets is out already: Leak: Topaz Specs (Gizmodo)

The Xoom still looks better! :D
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
The Topaz is not an HTC tablet, its an HP WebOS one.

Edit: And now that I hink about it, I honestly do not believe Motorola set the bar high. There are several other tablets running stock Android 3.0 with Tegra 2 processors that are "promised" to be released this year. The few things that seperates this tablet from the others is it being on Verizon, and it being Google's lead Honeycomb device. Heck, in terms of specifications that yet-to-be named Toshiba tablet is already equal to or better than the Xoom, not including the Barometer. The Xoom is not at all a hard device to beat. Especially not in design (my favorite area).

I truly believe the only reason this will be so big is because of Verizon's power. Some say that they made Android what it is today because of the Droid line. With Verizon behind it this tablet will be successful. A very good competitor to the iPad.
[Xoom General] p-slim:
Actually the Toshiba tab has only been said to be a tegra 2 processor, they havent given the full specs yet. Also you have to worry about updates, the 1st Droid on vzw because of stock android got all the Google updates before most devices on the market except the nexus. I'm pretty sure this pad will be getting updates long before any other pads out there
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
Go here for the Toshiba tablet specs:

http://www.thetoshibatablet.com/
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
Most if not all of the specs for the Toshiba Tab have been released on it's website: www.thetoshibatablet.com. And yes, I did take the update situation into consideration with my previous post. Hence the "because it is Google's lead device.."
[Xoom General] p-slim:
Seems like a nice pad but I couldn't figure out how much memory it comes with? I plan on using about 25gbs just for music, I never plan on hooking this (or my sd card)to my desktop for music again. Also I don't see myself ever buying a Toshiba product, I would prefer LG slate over this but that's just me. If this pad has 32gb on board memory the only reason it will be cheaper is because of no 3g an obviously its Toshiba. Another thing don't drop it, it's not made with the gorilla glass so bumps and drops can crack the screen easily
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
I have T-Mobile so I actually did take the LG-G Slate into consideration, but with an 8.9" screen I said never mind. Also, I'm sure Toshiba's tab will be "decent". Judging from photos, and small previews, people seem ok with the device so far.
[Xoom General] my_username:
Galaxy Tab running Honeycomb with a Super AMOLED display and LTE radio is my dream tablet. The Xoom and all the new tabs look amazing but after extensive use of the Galaxy Tab and the iPad in various situations, I find the iPad and soon to be Xoom sized tabs to be just slighty cumbersome on the whole. Though let me reitterate the 'on the whole' part because there certainly were circumstances where the extra real estate of the 10 inch tab was definately prefered. Anyone else have a similar or differing experience?
[Xoom General] ma42091:
Argh, don't know why I thought it was HTC! :confused:

I had not seen specs for the Toshiba tablet until this morning. Looks pretty good. Looking at that, It does make the Xoom look like it's not hard to beat. As you said, the Xoom will be successful because it's the first Honeycomb tablet and it'll be under Verizon. Motorola has hinted at a Wifi-only and different sizes (7" variant?) as well, which will help later on in the year.

However, there's always something coming that's better with mobile devices. I want a tablet now, the Xoom is what I'm going to get! :D

Besides, even if it does become overshadowed by over tablets this year, I won't mind--I'm still rockin' a HTC Droid Eris proudly! :D
[Xoom General] ma42091:
There's supposed to be a Galaxy Tab 2, wonder what that will have in store. Motorola has hinted at releasing different sizes of the Xoom later on too. I personally want the larger screen size though for pdfs, documents, movies, etc
[Xoom General] p-slim:
Played with the xoom today, I will be getting one. And yes the software is done and doesn't crash. I can't wait for this device. It is alot heavier then you expect but is soooooo sexy
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
It being sexy is nice to hear, definitely makes me want it.

How is the screen quality? Anything you would compare it to?
[Xoom General] p-slim:
it was actually like a 10.1 lcd tv
[Xoom General] SLG951:
How was the feel of it? How is the honeycomb UI?

I've been dying to try one out before I drop $800 on it.
[Xoom General] p-slim:
The ui was just as in the videos and the honeycomb ui is finished. It was a technicians test model so not much was loaded on it in terms of media content, so I didn't get to watch any actual movies
[Xoom General] SLG951:
Do you think its worth the price tag??
[Xoom General] p-slim:
I do believe its worth the price tag but of course it does come with 3g/upgradeable 4g 2nd quarter and 32gbs. some people may want to wait for a wifi only or 16gb version which would obviously have to be cheaper. i played angry birds very briefly and it was nice to have a full view and not have to slide back and forth, it was good to see the game fit the screen and not have to wait for a honeycomb version to come out :)
[Xoom General] SLG951:
I'm probably going to wait for the wifi only version because I can always tether my phone to it. The only problem I have is that by the time I buy the xoom or something similar, the new tegra chip will be out. Kinda makes me sad.
[Xoom General] p-slim:
i do agree which is why im usually an early adopter for things i don't believe will be overshadowed for about a year. pocketnow just put up that QUAD core androids might be here for christmas, imagine the next xoom with a quad core, that will be amazing. i bought an evo last june and yes some phones are slightly better but if i would've bought my evo in December i might be a little upset because of some of the phones that are coming out with better specs. im with you 100%, i would definitely want a wifi only device (because i get 4g with my evo and can tether) but after playing with this thing i can't wait.
[Xoom General] SLG951:
Ya I heard about the QUAD core coming which will be stupid insane to have. I might just have to look at it with a blind eye to stuff coming out later in the year because its still an awesome machine.

Hope it does what they say, then I'll be happy. Well until they come out with a bluray player built in. Haha
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
Until Android gets decent games, "Quad-core" processors are in no way necessary. The latest PSP has a quad-core processor(s) because it will be running powerful games...

... Android phones in 2012 will have quad-core processors.. but will be running Angry Birds. Of course I can't predict the future, maybe they will actually put out games that make use of these cores. As of now, however, I don't even see why a dual-core processor is needed on these Android devices. Then there is the fact that multiple processors aren't only for gaming and such.. not if the GPU isn't decent.

We're pushing technology with nothing to show for it.
[Xoom General] ma42091:
Pretty true at the moment. Playstation is planning to release some games for Android next year. I think with that, we may see more powerful games on Android that will make use of the cores with the next few years.
[Xoom General] SLG951:
I believe its going to be PS1 games but not 100%. Either way I totally agree, there are no "good" games. As more developers come to android it will get better.
[Xoom General] Bonuman:
I can't wait to play Crash Bandicoot Team Racing (PS1 title) on my Xoom!
[Xoom General] ma42091:
That was a fun game!!! Even if just PS1 titles are going to released initially, it'd still be awesome!
[Xoom General] luis86dr:
Because its not a ipad. Enough said.

[G2/HTC Vision]
[Xoom General] khov07:
Exactly. The iPad demonstrated the market for a tablet device, but any Apple device will always be locked down to iTunes and Apple's walled garden (which you may or may not care about).

For business, and for the more advanced user, Android + Tegra2 + VZ = :D
[Xoom General] ma42091:
Well said! It's NOT an ipad!

Have any of you seen all the new Honeycomb videos from yesterday?! I am even MORE excited for the Xoom!!!! Yesterday's Honeycomb event is up on YouTube too for those who missed it.
[Xoom General] ksizzle9:
I wanted the xoom, but I went to the john, slapped the Ham while I watched all the new videos of honeycomb, after I finished I don't want it as bad? What gives?
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
You lost interest?

If you don't want it, don't get it o_0
[Xoom General] p-slim:
I want it even more after the video, where was the let down?
[Xoom General] khov07:
Uhhh, I think ksizzle9 was making a joke.

No offense, but 'slapping the ham' to UI videos is a new low for gadget junkies. May I kindly suggest finding an outdoors hobby, or a woman ;-)
[Xoom General] rocketragz:
i was pretty excited for the xoom to come out and was heavily considering getting one. figured i'd just use it on wifi. that was until i found out you have to buy a data package with it. i won't be buying a xoom anymore. :(
[Xoom General] p-slim:
WRONG. best buy's stipulation is that you need 1 month of data to purchase it. Technically you could cancel the 2nd you walk out of the store or 2) you can buy it somewhere other then best buy. That is best buy's stipulation not vzw or Motorola
[Xoom General] Morkai Almandragon:
I really want to replace my phone with a tablet, but am loosing hope that this will be possible with verizon without just using skype or google voice.

That being said, I have read on a few sites that this and the Galaxy tab 4g may have voice, but due to lack of any info here i doubt it. Has anyone tried droppping voice for VOIP? How has it worked out?

Lastly... as for PS1 games on this... I am sorry, but I would give up quite a few PS3 games for online multiplayer Twisted Metal 2 on the zoom! :-)
[Xoom General] bluepowder:
i'm planning on using my xoom (gonna get it tomorrow, yay!) to store all my sheetmusic (a frickin' lot!) on it, meaning i'll never have to lug around 10kg of sheetmusic to the school where i teach, or to a gig, or simply anywhere. still need to find out how to hook the thing up to an inexpensive printer on-site though, without having a router or pc around. 's gonna get a bit tricky, i know, but if it doesn't work i'll simply have my pupils look at the screen for their sheets and send 'em the stuff afterwards via email. easy enough! of course i'll occasionaly fire up youtube and briefly check out the guitar-riff to a song that some student might want to learn how to play, have a bunch of playalongs with me at all times (always handy), and take notes on my students' progress. welcome to the new age of teaching :D

and then, there's alway the fun stuff, too (as if this wasn't enough reason to get a tablet in the first place)... facebook, ebooks, listening to mp3's on the train en route to gig or work, all while browsing the web for news and entertainment.

even now, before even having realized a mere fraction of all of this, i can't imagine how i ever got organized enough to make it through a day of work until now without a device such as this. 's gonna be marvellous, and will boost my productivity to new heights, i'm sure. and all of this in a fun and intuitive way, too. gotta love it :D
[Xoom General] okantomi:
There are some great apps you may want to use as a guitar teacher: tuners, ear training, chord finders, tab finders, and you can use Printer Share, MotoPrint and some other apps to print. I think you'll find it really find it usefull and fun.
[Xoom General] DevilStrider:
I got it because I'm in the military and I used my MacBook Pro at work a lot. I was tired of carrying it along with other gear. So I started lurking tablet forums here and I stopped at the Xoom because I can't justify spending $500 on a tablet. I was going to get the Asus Transformer Prime at first. But then I checked Craigslist and saw Xooms for $300 and up. Talked a seller down to $250 for one brand new in the box. I love it and I'm running ICS as I type.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
We have the best tablet there is...if they only knew. : )
[Xoom General] Surlock:
I got my xoom in the mail this afternoon. I bought it because more and more college professors are restricting laptops, but allowing tablets. My handwriting is terrible so I prefer to type my notes, a bluetooth keyboard and I can type at full speed. I'm looking over the forums here for some of the advice people have been kind enough to archive. The xoom will also save me some money and backpack space on textbooks, even more if I ever figure out how to use kindle cloud reader on my xoom. Aside from that I'll study or veg out with some games or videos at school and work.

I've spent less than 3 hours on it so far, most of that grabbing apps I already knew I wanted and figuring out how ebook work on a tablet. Really liking it so far.

That makes me feel better, I had to choose tablets in a hurry and this time last week I didn't even know the xoom existed. All I knew was the Ipad and the galaxy 10.1. I saw that I could save almost $150 on books which I needed by the 5th of Janurary with an ereader and knew I didn't want a single use device like a kindle. So I picked one out a lot faster than I prefer to make large (for me) purchases.
[Xoom General] mikedyk43:
I also just got my Xoom not too long ago. I finally graduated college and got one as a present to myself. I did a little research on other available tablets and found that even the latest and greatest are not much better spec wise and many have bugs that still need to be ironed out. For the price you can get one of these, it was a no brainer as far as I was concerned. I am very pleased with it.
[Xoom General] raihankabir_1:
I am living in bangladesh where xoom is not officialy released yet. several months back i wanted to buy a light laptop, i searched in internet and found a new device called tablet pc. At first galaxy tab looked fascinating to me. I kept searching for a right decision, for whole one month a visited many forums and discussions, you tube video reviews of different tablets and determined to buy 32gb wifi xoom from usa. After using the device for moths i still love this device 100%.
