[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erank:
Hi,

I'm trying to make some changes to framework-res.apk.

I user APK Manager 4.9 to decompile the file, then made one trivial change to a XML file (changed one auto brightness related value).

I then compiled back to APK without signing and pushed to the phone in recovery mode the deleted Dalvik cache just to be on the safe side.

No matter how I play with it I always get FC from all the system apps immediately after the phone completes the boot process.

Some more information:

1. My original APK had directories like /res/drawable-hdpi-v4 while after decomplie they become res/drawable-hdpi (without the "v4")

2. After I recompile the "v4" directories are not created back and the generated APK contains the directories without the v4

3. If I use the "Reduce errors" feature of the APK manager complie option then I end up with APK that contains both the directories with v4 and those without.

4. I tried with the "reduce errors" option and without it (in which case I manually copied the signature directory into the APK) but got same FC.

5. It seems that once the FCs begin to happen they don't stop until a full nandroid restore. Even if I put the original framework.res.apk file I still get FCs after rebooting.

6. I'm using Revolution HD 2.0.11 ROM

7. The APK file I'm trying to modify was generated by the UOT kitchen.

Any idea what am I doing wrong?

No one knows?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
You dont need to decompile the framework to edit the files, heres the best way, take the the original framework-res.apk, and copy it to your pc, use 7zip to extract the .apk and extract any files you want to edit from the extracted framework, now go back to your original framework-res.apk and right click on it, find 7zip in the contex menu and click open, the contents of the apk will appear in a new window, now just drag and drop your edied files in the right directorys, once done, close 7zip, push the framework back to /system/framework/, wipe the dalvik cache and your done :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erank:
The files I want to edit are XML files which are compiled to reasources.arsc, as far as I know 7zip can't extract those, it has to be decompiled.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Too true, the only other thing you could try is to sign the .apk before pushing it....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erank:
Thanks AndroHero.

Everywhere I was looking they always say not to sign system APKs, but just to be sure I also tried signing it and not signing but copying the original META-INF directory - always got the same result - FC in all systems apps after boot.
[Nook Color General] OB1J3D1:
All,

Where should I put my images that I would like to use for wallpapers? Even with the stock images, I noticed that depending on what menu I used to set the wallpaper, some were resized strangely.

NC 1.1 Autonooter 3.0 Zeam Launcher.

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] byproxy:
where you put them shouldn't impact the image size. you can put wallpaper images anywhere really. i put them in /media/wallpaper on my sdcard.
[Nook Color General] Thuneau:
I tried saving images from websites using the built in browser and then set them as wallpaper, but that didn't work.

I downloaded Opera Mini from the market and then I could properly save images and set them as wallpaper.

Maybe there is a setting for the native browser that allows for proper saving, but I could not find it. Anyway, Opera is a pretty decent bowser so I'm perfectly happy using it.
[Nook Color General] OB1J3D1:
Thanks for the tip. But, I'm trying to use my own pictures - not web images.
[Nook Color General] byproxy:
1200x1024 is the proper size for two screens. 1800x1024 for 3. you could try resizing before setting as wallpaper to see if that works for ya. make sure you expand the box to take up the entire image when selecting it or it will mess up the sizing.
[Nook Color General] OB1J3D1:
Thanks. Happen to know the right size for 1 screen? is it 600 x 1024? (seems to be if my math is correct)

But, what I'm more curious about is where to put the files. Seems there is a /media/wallpaper on my sd and my internal. Which should I use? I want it to show up in my "wallpaper".

Also, happen to know if it is safe to delete the stock pictures / wallpapers. Some of them are downright ugly.

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] byproxy:
don't know about deleting the stock images. you could try... i doubt it'd hurt anything, but just to be safe, make sure you nandroid first.

ya... i've never done a single screen, but that is the right math... 600 per screen.

either place will work. i've loaded them in both locations and they work in either.
[Nook Color General] ChrisJ951:
I had the same problem, solution is to download coveroid. Any wallpaper you want will just go into the coveroid download folder, and then set the wallpaper from inside coveroid. For some reason the non-default launchers cause issues with setting wallpapers, but coveroid seems to fix this.
[Nook Color General] Thuneau:
1200x1024 is the correct size for 5 pages. When you slide from one page to another the background doesn't move by full 600 pixels. It only moves by 150 pixels.

The built-in gallery function scales the pictures in an ugly way when cropping for use as wallpaper. It's a conflict between 3 screens of the B&N Nook and 5 screens of the typical Android launcher.

I followed the sticky with tips and downloaded the Wallpaper Set & Save app. It lets you navigate for pictures through directories and sets them as wallpaper while preserving the resolution if correct to begin with. I'm very pleased with it. My wallpaper now looks correct.
[Nook Color General] OB1J3D1:
Thanks for the help!

I hope to have some cool wallpapers soon. It helps to have a Pro photographer in the family. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] sabwafare2001:
I currently have both phones and trying to decide which one to sell. I am leaning more towards selling the Desire Z, but not really sure. The main reason I would have for keeping the Desire Z would be because of being able to use to $10 unlimited plan. I don't really use to keyboard, but it's nice to have. However it's looking like ATT has made the effort in having highend Android phones since the iPhone is on Verizon too. Meaning I eventually would have to pay more for a data plan because of other ATT Android phones that will be available throughout the yr. I usually keep phones on average for 4 months or until a better one comes out. Here are the advantages I have when comparing both phones. I always root every Android phone I have owned so SW and performance is similar between the two.

Desire Z A7275:

- Keyboard

- Trackpad

- Can use $10 unlimited Data Plan

- Ease of Access for Battery

- Less People will have in the US

- Better Build

- Camera Button

HTC Inspire A9192:

- Larger Screen

- Feels Slightly Lighter, less bulky

- Lower Price if buying outright($430 w/tax in DFW area)

- Slightly better Battery

- 4G Capable....soon

- Can send for warranty in US

- Better location of USB port
[HTC Inspire 4G] matt_b:
i was tempted to sell my inspire once i got it...not because i was displeased at all, but because they were going for upwards of 500 on ebay and i got mine for 99 with an upgrade.

check completed listings in ebay and see which phone is bringing more money, maybe that will help sway you one way or the other?
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
I had the Desire Z and was ok with it but did not like the hinge system a little flimsy and was not that tight. The screen was good and I liked the build but nothing can beat the size of the Inspire screen. I sold my Desire Z and my Desire both on E-bay to get this phone.

I thought long and hard about it but in the end it came down to how well the screen size is easy to read with old eye's. The unlimited data was nice and in the end I lost it but I really do not miss it that much and it was not that much of a factor in getting this phone.The track pad on the Z was a joke to me, my Desire trackpad was better than the Z.

Battery access on the Impression is not bad at all I have had no problems with it at all. In the end it comes down to what you want to spend you money on, for me it was the Inspire AKA Desire HD.
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
What they are selling for on e-bay is no indication, it took me three times to sell my Desire Z and in the end I only got $450.00 for it which sucks considering I spent $650.00 to get it from Canada only three weeks before I sold it.

To the OP you would probably get more out of selling your iphone than selling the Z!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] netnerd:
this is a no brainer for me! i cant go back to screen less than 4.3!!

i can exchange my inspire for atrix with dual core. but i think bigger screen is more important to me than dual core.
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
After seeing what they are selling that Motorola for all I can say is forget it there is NO motorola worth that much and that processor is going to eat batteries like candy!!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Will_nonya:
Desire Z all the way!

I have both phones (among others) and I honestly believe the desire Z is the best phone I’ve ever had.

I love the inspire and its large screen but the build quality of the desire Z seems higher, its battery life is better and the track pad and keyboard seal the deal. The hinge while odd at first works brilliantly and after using the onscreen keyboard again I’m double sold on the hardware keyboard. Granted until I spent 2 week with WP7 on an HD2 I thought the htc touch keyboard was the best but now it’s the low point of the phone.

Of course I use my phone for business and travel so I make a lot of use of the keyboard. Of course it is fun to bring out the inspire in front of my iphone toting friends and have them ask about the screen and widgets :cool:
[HTC Inspire 4G] RayYung:
I don't think you can get even 3G with Desire Z. Desire Z works on HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz but ATT runs 850/1900 MHz (soon 850 only)

Edge is way too slow for me...

Mine bad, Canada version of Desire Z do works on HSPA/WCDMA (850/1900 MHz). I was looking at the Euro version b4. Sorry.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sabwafare2001:
Everyone who is using the Desire Z with ATT 3G is using the Unlocked Bell version(A7275). This came out back in October of last yr. The tmo and Euro version(A7272) doesn't work on ATT 3G

Is there anyone else having a problem with the Facebook widget (or all of facebook) not working? I depend a lot on facebook, when the widget fails me, I get an ulcer in my stomach :(

Or, is it just that all of facebook isn't working?
[Focus General] Ricparr:
Can someone please look at their Focus and tell me the firmware revision number, radio software and hardware number, bootloader and chipSOC number? Pretty pls? Even just a screen shot of the about will work. pls? :)

edit: their/there blahhhh
[Focus General] hhb6:
why do you want to know?

I don't think you can do anything if you find a newer rom yet
[Focus General] in2chaos:
just want to know when will focus's rom come out..:(
[Focus General] JamesAllen:
Focus

OS Version 7.0.7004.0

Firmware 2103.10.10.1

Hardware 3.1.0.7

Radio software 2103.10.10.1

Radio Hardware 0.0.0.3

Bootloader 4.10.0.1

Chip SOC 0.32.2.0
[Focus General] Ricparr:
Thanks so much JamesAllen! That's exactly what I thought. my fucos is running old software, someone plllleeeeeeaaaasssseee get a rom out stat! :)

The reason I asked is because I have a "NOT FOR SALE" Focus, and am having problems with the "Phone Identity". Can't install apps that need it, and can't sync with my live id properly, and now I know why! Any ideas from you smart folks out there??
[Focus General] Paolo01:
Buy a real WP7 phone. Support the OS. :)
[Focus General] Ricparr:
Oh indeed I will, in April, when I have an upgrade. Would still like to have this one as a back-up without it being crippled. I know a lot of people seem to already beat the drum of hate against this OS, but I really like it. Seems to be a very good and intuitive sweet-spot between iOS and android. Looking forward to it maturing a bit. :)

FAQs: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11436660&postcount=11 (Thanks Alienz!)

Yes, the kernel is still based on the i9000 JPX source release. Hopefully we get real source soon.

Main Features:

NEAR STOCK BATTERY!!! (Thanks Morfic!)

Overclock up to 1.4Ghz.

BLN (Backlight Notifications).. A basic app is included to turn it on if you want it

Voodoo lagfix v5

Voodoo Sound v4

Many parts of the "speedmod" patch from the i9000 forum

OC is based on raspdep's OC patches, also from the i9000 forum

Various speed tweaks

CIFS/SMB and NFS support compiled in (no modules)

Tunnel support compiled in (no modules)

Changes since 3.2:

New boot logo. (Thanks Alexia!)

Added battery drain fix in standby discovered by Morfic. Should be about the same battery as stock now.

Voltages and frequency scaling have been adjusted to more quickly jump to higher frequencies and come down slower. Improves response time while you use the phone.

The Voltage Control app has the correct voltages, I recommend leaving the lower speeds alone to start with. Going too low can cause the sleep of death. That's why they are as high as they are. NOTE: The voltage control app does not control the available states they way the older ones do. That screen is useless, ignore it. Set your max and scheduler if you wish, and the voltages if you want to change them.

SetCPU.... If you want to use it, you can have it set min/max. If you set profiles, don't set the max under 800. The phone needs 800 to be available. I use a screen off profile at 100-800 just to keep the OC disabled while sleeping. No reason it should need to really crank up the speed if I'm not looking at it. SetCPU is NOT required, I'm offering this as a tip for fans of that application.

The kernel has proven stable for a number of testers so far. If you get crashes, disable any OC/UV settings and try again. I recommend you only change one setting at a time, and NOT set at boot until you have run for a while to ensure you can run stable at that voltage/speed.
[Vibrant Android Development] cnote74:
Great job testing it out now. Edit: screen is a little dark but the kernel is super smooth
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
Going to test! Will post results in a couple of hours.

I am considering flashing this new kernel but have a couple of questions I would like to ask first. I am currently on Bionix V 1.21 and love it. Is this kernel compatible with Bionix V 1.21? It appears that this kernel is Voodoo enabled so I presume I would not have to disable voodoo. If I decide to go back to the Kb1 with voodoo enabled which I believe is the stock kernel for Bionix V 1.21 would i just flash the kernel( is is available on TW forum?)or would I have to flash the whole rom again? I would think I would not have to but want to be sure before I leap. I would not like to have to ask for help for problems that could have been avoided by reading and asking questions. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] jay661972:
Is it ok to not use set cpu? Will this kernel will oc over 1000?
[Vibrant Android Development] Dattack:
This kernel is much more stable for me than the dow kernel. Great work.
[Vibrant Android Development] treyvaporizer:
Im not sure if you have to disable voodoo or not .. probably not but don’t take my word for it :) and no you do not have to flash the whole rom again, just the kernel. Thanks for not clogging up the forums. Lol I know its hard to ask questions in the vibrant forums, (cause you'll get beaten to death with mean comments) but ask them anyway, someone will answer eventually. Ignore the whiny, ungrateful 2 year olds that somehow wandered onto this forum...

Sent from Bionix powered vibrant! If I helped, hit the thanks button!
[Vibrant Android Development] cnote74:
I flashed without disabling voodoo
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
It is compatible with Bionix 1.2.1, that's what I developed it on. :)

If you have the red voodoo recovery, there is no need to disable voodoo for flashing. Generally speaking, kernels can be flashed without disabling voodoo in any case.
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
This is what iv'e done, I've lowered my Volts on some clocks, 1000 and up, and I was wondering should/can I use setcpu for profiles?
[Vibrant Android Development] }{Alienz}{:
Answers to COMMON questions:

1. Can I flash this over Voodoo or RFS (stock)

You do NOT need to disable Voodoo. Flash right over Voodoo or RFS kernels. Make sure you are not running JFS though. JFS is not supported

2. How is stability? Does it crash? Sleep of death? etc?

Stability on this is AMAZING. It will not crash unless you overclock/undervolt and your settings are unstable. If that is the case, you know its your settings.

3. Do I need SetCPU to overclock?

You do not need to use SetCPU (You can if you want to). Use the Voltage Control App to overclock.

4. How do I overclock? Can I use this without an overclock?

By default, the kernel will boot to 1.0Ghz. To OVERCLOCk to 1.4Ghz (or lower) you need to use the app that this kernel installs during the flash. The app is called "Voltage Controll" and can be found in your app drawer after the flash

5. What is the battery life?

Battery life should be close to stock now. The battery drain issue that was present in the I9000-based kernels earlier has been solved.

6. Does this support BLN (Back-light-notificaations)?

Yes. You need the BLN control app from the market to use it.

7. How do I use Voodoo sound? What is it?

Voodoo sound is a vast improvement to the sound quality of your phone. To use it, download the Voodoo Control app from the Market.

8. What ROMs is this compatible with?

This is compatible with ALL Vibrant Froyo ROMS. This means 2.2 ROMS made for the Vibrant. 2.2.1 is not yet tested but should theoretically work.

I hope this helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] tenbeau:
Thanks so much for your kind and patient and swift reply. Donation just made. I really admire yours and all of TW generosity and patience with noobs like me. I am flashing the kernel now. Thanks again for sharing your brilliant work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
You can use setcpu for profiles, just keep 800Mhz available. The phone will likely crash if you don't. I set a screen off profile of 100-800 to keep the oc disabled when I don't need it, as 800 is a lower voltage.

Hint with voltages, try to keep 1000 and higher at the SAME voltage. Changing the voltage too often can cause instability as the voltage regulator doesn't adjust as fast as we would like sometimes. OC makes this worse as you need a higher voltage to maintain a stable CPU at the higher frequency. The kernel is set to jump to 1000, then to the max set clock speed. Setting 1000 to the higher voltage gives us some extra time to stabilize the new voltage before the just into the OC speeds.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
Thanks for your kind words and the donation. I'm glad you find my work useful. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
just flashed this..

and a few questions ive never used OC before..

What does VOODOO Sound really do?

I set my thing on SetCPU as 1.4ghz as max and .1 as low with conservative.

then a profile with screen off and on conservative.

will those save battery?
[Vibrant Android Development] }{Alienz}{:
SetCPU by itself will NOT overclock. You need to use the Voltage app that comes with the kernel. See my above post with the Common questions.
[Vibrant Android Development] d3xt3rlab:
I'd like any of the kernels developers gave me a clue about an issue im having with all custom i9000 based kernels (eugene's and TW's). The problem is with line2 voip app which calls isn't heard in the other end when running these kernels, but in stock/voodoo it works just fine. Please any of you have an idea of what could be going wrong?

thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
Okay tested so far, everything is working good (undervolted to about 175 for lower clocks 100-1000 and 75 for higher clocked 1200-1400)

Don't try this, as every phone can't handle some things, i'm just stating.

EDIT: I'm seriously stupid, how do I remove the settings again? I know it's in system/ something

Edit: NEVERMIND fixed
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
I've never used an OC kernel, was thinking of giving it a try. If I decide its not for me is this like removing a voodoo injected kernel, disable, then flash a diff kernel then delete files?
[Vibrant Android Development] eunkipark92:
Just flash other voodoo kernel on top of it no need.to.disable voodoo
[Adam Accessories] nosanon:
Hey XDA Adam fans I'd like to introduce my work in progress case for the Adam. I'm calling it Goliath Pro, short for Goliath Protection. I just started last weekend after pre-ordering my Adam (wifi+pixelqi) and finding no suitable cases for my requirements (rugged yet stylish).

I've been posting on Notion Addicts but want to get the feedback of the XDA community too. I'm already on version 2 you can see renders at goliathpro site. I'm hoping to get to prototype next week so I can move quick with this (I work for a product design company so I've already got manufacturing connections in China). If you guys have any suggestions or needs you'd like to see implemented let me know and I'll do my best to produce everyone's dream case. It may even end up being two renditions one being the base model and another later thats beefed up to mil-spec. (NIH also has a cool case but we need variety!)

I figure Adam lets you use the tablet comfortably outside with pixelqi so it better be built for it.

All input is appreciated!:)

(oh, and I've attached an exclusive XDA preview of a new the version 2 color scheme, smoky grey transparent)

*UPDATE: First prototypes arrived today!

Pre-Production Render

Prototype Case!
[Adam Accessories] wynalazca:
Looks great! Not sold on the name though. 99.99999% of the time, 'pro' is short for professional and imo, it just sounds strange. That's like calling a product solid-tit where the 'tit' is short for titanium. Makes sense, just isn't a good name. Not that the name actually matters if the case does its job...

Off topic: Did you use Solidworks to draw this up? I'm an ME and I've used Inventor rather extensively but I just got a new job at a startup (I'm the second full-time employee) and I'm going to be using Solidworks for design. Can't wait to get the program in because I'll get a free home license too!
[Adam Accessories] nosanon:
Valid point wynalazca, I guess I like pro 'cuase its what you call your protective gear in rock climbing. Then again you could think of it as a case for professionals or maybe in its final rendition it'll be the full Goliath Protection, we'll see how the logo's look ;). Yes, solidworks was used to mock up the case, it's a really intuitive program. I'm in the opposite situation, I'd like to try inventor as a lot of people I know use it and love it.
[Adam Accessories] Meekos:
How about a stand build in...somewhere..?

Looks good though. :-)
