1. Use root explorer or adb to pull SystemUI.apk from the system/app folder

2. On your computer rename SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.zip

3. Open SystemUI.apk.zip (dont extract just open archive) using 7zip and go to res\drawable-hdpi folder

4. From the 4Gicons.zip posted in the OP copy the 8 png's and paste them into the System.apk.zip in res\drawable-hdpi.

5. Rename SystemUI.apk.zip back to SystemUI.apk

6. Zipalign APK(Step not absolutely necessary but optimizes the apk) put SystemUI.apk into tools folder of AndroidSDK. Open compand prompt and run this line "zipalign -v 4 SystemUI.apk SystemUIzipaligned.apk". A new APK called SystemUIzipaligned.apk will be created in the tools folder. Rename it back to SystemUI.apk

7. Use root explorer or Adb to push SystemUI.apk back to system/app folder

8. Using root explorer long press on SystemUI.apk and select permissions, place checks to User: read and write; Group read; Others: read, leave all other unchecked. ( i dont know how to change permissions using adb, this step might not be necessary if you dont have root explorer)

8. SystemUI.apk might force close constantly after copying it back. So, turn of screen of the phone, then back on but dont unlock, then hold power button and choose power off or reboot.

9.And your done

Here's a flashable zip I made you for GingerVillian 1.5 if you dont want to go through all those steps: 4Gicons-theme-GV15.zip

[Windows Mobile] kristofpetho:
Hello Everyone!

There are many SYS build flavors coming out almost every day now...

Also the (almost) first question is: which one is faster for my device?

So lets all put our findings in this thread. I will try to update this first (or second) post with the following information:

1. Devices

2. Best builds for each device

3. Bugs with certain builds

How to benchmark:

1. Download the FREE SPB Benchmark from this post and install it on your device.

2. Turn off sounds

3. Turn off automatic brightness control and leave it at 100%

4. Turn off all enhancements (Sense, SPB, etc), have an empty home screen

5. Turn on airplane mode (no cennections)

6. Plug in your charger and run the benchmark

7. Always use the same tests!

+1 a benchmark in only valid for that paticular device! My HD2 performs differently than someone else's....

So please, at your discretion, fire away your findings, thoughts, etc! :D
[Windows Mobile] kristofpetho:
Benchmark results

(Fastest is first place, slowest is last), % is how much faster than the next one

HD2:

1. 29xxx - 1%

2. 219xx (COM2) - 2%

3. 28xxx - 5%

4. 231xx

Does anyone know if you can just root the htc Evo with the z4root app then flash any of the ROMS and kernels?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
No z4 root doesn't work in the evo. Use unrevoked. Google it. Works fantastically and one click. Needs computer though.

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iitreatedii:
Use Unrevoked...you can only use that to temporarily root the device to run apps at the boot that require superuser permissions

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teexx2000:
one click with unrevoked?

Do you just install their software from the site?

I'm new to the evo but want to root it to get rid of the crap sprint put on me.

Will it make a backup that i can "roll back to" incase i need to take it in for warranty?

Sorry for the general questions. Newb here.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomViolence:
I would personally recommend against Unrevoked as a rooting method. I've personally had it alter an Evo to the point where I couldn't boot into a ROM more than once. Not a fun experience. You're better off using one of the other rooting methods, like AutoRoot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
Z4root does work on the evos, it is just a temp root that resets on reboot.

I rooted my replacement evo and my launch evo with unrevoked. Never a single problem. In fact, I rooted my replacement evo in my hospital bed with no internet connection and all the files I needed which included unrevoked. And no I didn't one click unrevoked, I downgraded 2.2 to 2.1 and then ran unrevoked on it along with the s-off file then flashed 2.2. Again, I did all this with no internet connection and my wimax is still intact. User error is the biggest reason unrevoked doesn't work for people.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iitreatedii:
As of today Unrevoked has no problems whatsoever as long as you have a computer and a brain to read. Now what I recommend though is amon ra recovery rather than clockwork, the Unrevoked website will give you step by step directions on how to root its as simple as watching it do the work...

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elevans:
Tonight I upgraded from stock android 2.1 to Syndicate 2.2 ROM. I thought that I had backed up my sms and calendar data with titanium backup, but apparently I did not.

How can I recover my sms and calendar data from the clockwork nandroid backup? Note that the original backup that contains the data I need is not an EXT4 backup. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Did you try restoring the data in those apps from Titanium and rebooting?

You can try restore/advanced data only from CWM but if there is any incompatible data you may get fc's which will require you to clear data for those apps. If it is that important then it is worth a try. Your calendar should have been backed up in Google and should restore with your contacts though.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00dwan:
First you would need to unyaffs the data img file from the nandroid backup:

http://androidforums.com/samsung-i7500/136176-how-extract-files-nandroid-backup-windows.html

Then get the mmssms.db from /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

and I'm guessing the calendar one is /data/data/com.android.providers.calendar/databases/calendar.db

This is theoretical because I haven't actually tried it. I've seen where the file isn't compatible with the sms software on a different rom. In that case, the titanium backups wouldn't work. For the future I would recommend using some sort of SMS backup software from the market. Good luck!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elevans:
Thanks guys! I'll try both methods and report back.

To answer KG's question, on stock 2.1, the default calendar save option was to save appointments to my phone calendar and not the android calendar. I had the same issue with gmail, but remembered to backup the phone contacts before flashing. Titanium only backed up my 3rd party apps.

This was my first android ROM upgrade, so at least next time I know what not to do.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elevans:
KG, your method did the trick. All my data is restored. I'm going to need to do another backup with mybackup root and reinstall the ROM, because some of the ROM software isn't there anymore, but at least my data isn't lost. Thanks for the help!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Glad I could help. When I do something like change ROMs I backup with everything I got, Nandroid, Titanium, Mybackup, export contacts to SD and anything else I can grab. Something has to have my missing data when I need it ;-)

I've fully rooted my Desire with RUU. But I have a question now...

If I still can use RUU including higher firmware version to flash my device or not? If so if I need completely root my Desire again after using RUU?

Very appreciate any information you can give me

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
An RUU is used to unroot your phone, and it's best to get the latest one to do this as otherwise it might not run
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreamingman:
Thanks for your information.

So if I still want to keep my device fully rooted, how to upgrade to new firmware with offical ROM and where can I grab the offical ROM?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
No, running an RUU will unroot you. If you're rooted you can't get official updates so you'd need to use a custom ROM based on the update

Suckerpunch Kernel on Serendipity 6.2

I was playing around with OCing to 1.3 after achieving a stable 1.2 OC, and stupidly set to boot settings instead of applying on accident. Had to turn phone off for a bit to save power, fast forward an hour when I turn it on; get a kernel panic on boot, do a battery pull & reboot; get to homescreen, fiddle around a bit, freezes, batt pull again, eventually (after 2 more kernel panics) figure out that I had stupidly set the settings to boot instead of applying. Could this have caused any damage or added any sorts of instabilities to my phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
No it should be fine. As long as you put the OC level down to 1200 or 1000 (and also the Undervolt (UV) settings if you messed around with those) and to save that as the new boot setting, it should be alright.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapplefish:
Yep, done that. I do have a question about the active states, though; are those the frequencies which the phone will utilize?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
Typically yes, getting to 1200Mhz should be easy and no problem... It's really a balancing act.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10936691&postcount=1102

This guide helped me get started at first, and it will definitely help you optimize your OC/UV settings.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapplefish:
I've read that, yes, that's where I got started as well. However, I don't understand fully what the States option in Voltage Control does.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lactardjosh:
Selecting states in VC is what allows the phone to use that state. So if you set your max clock to 1200, but 1000 is the max state you have checked, the phone will only ever use 1000 as the max. You need to set both options.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Deivid85:
Hi!

I've been trying out different ROMS and most of them look pretty decent, but coming from a HTC MyTouch 4g, what I've missed the most is one theme/Rom that is actually NOT black/dark, but has "lighter"-background (ie., light greyish) menus and, particularly, light-background boxes for the menus that pop from the bottom when you press, well, the menu button (how do you call those boxes? I've had a lots of trouble trying to run a proper search).

Any pointers or recommendations on where to look for a theme like this would be much appreciated! :)

probably won't, but it never hurts to do a backup before trying it. Got a link? I can try it on mine and report my results.

Edit: I'm running Typhoon CM7, which is a port from Bravo (desire I believe), whereas GBX is built from source for HD2, so some things may be different (although I doubt it).

Edit 2: just tried it, it didn't blow up my ROM. It kind of works I guess? I'm not sure what the original lockscreen looked like because I always used a lock pattern, but see screenshots. BTW there is a zip for HD2 LEO nightlies, so I'm going to try that next and post results.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] letrain02:
Yeah it worked for me too, its not gbx, its the,cm7 pongster has released as well. Its not exactly like honeycomb, it just takes the rotary and changes it to look like honeycomb, I wanted the lock icon with circle, the drag in any direction.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dung8604:
yeah that's what I thought the HC lockscreen was, so I wasn't sure what was going on with the lockscreen I was getting. Either way, isntalling via CWM sent me into a boot loop.

Not sure what it woulf take to do it. It looks like he had to use rotary, then just changed the png files so the "images" looked similar, but how it works probably takes a little tp build..

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] h.nocturna:
Most of the time, the recovery is re-flashed prior to installing a new build to change the partition sizes of the NAND flash. You should install the CWR with whatever it comes with just to be safe, but if you know what you're doing, it's possible to just edit the flash.cfg to match the new one.

Recently, I've managed to enable call recording directly from the phone line on regular Desire (not Z or HD).

So far, it records incoming calls only on most Desire ROMs with the latest radio.

The recordings of such calls are crystal clear, with the other party recorded as loud as your voice.

The outgoing calls are still recorded from mic, except for LeeDroid 2_3d ROM where it records outgoing calls as well.

I'd be happy if somebody tries to port that to other qsd8x50 or even msm7x30 devices, because all I have is HTC Hero :(

I was really surprised tonight to learn that my gtablet does not have an orientation sensor ... it relies soley on an accelerometer apparently for orientation changes.

The screen print below was generated under VEGAn 5.1 but I'm pretty sure I'll get the same results in all the ROMs available.
