Ads appearing - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a rooted vibrant running nero v3, and I am having problems with ads appearing on my notification bar. They either have a white star with an orange spot, or a green plus as their icon. (the plus is the same green as my signal bars, battery icon, etc., so it could be a default icon.) I have lookout free, it doesn't see anything. Is it adware, an app I have, our something else?

It isn't adware but a push notification. Go to market and get Adson or search the Apps & Themes section because this has been covered and that thread has a few more links in it to solve your problem.

Thanks. "adson" didn't work, but I found a separate adblock.

[Theme] BNB For Eclipse 0.4

To begin... make a backup 1st.... not responsible for damages while left in the parking garage.. enjoy the game!
This theme was made with permission of "thebowers". It's his creation. I brought it into GB land for the X2. I don't know if I did everything he did but I can tell you that I have made image edits galore for resizing purposes and to get all the new GB images not yet themed. I have also edited the crap out of a lot of xml's so things should work 100% smoothly out of the box. I have also incorporated some inverted apps which, I had nothing to do with. Credit there goes to thebowers, ecsnead and B-Boy. I themed the Phone and I started on the other 2 but, then, I saw someone else already did pretty much the same thing. So, I just used that. No need to waste time. That would be bouchigo. You can find him on rootzwiki. I also made a few apps myself because once I got going on 0.2.2, I got carried away.
Also, I changed the boot animation. It matches the theme oh so well. Credit there goes to Versatile1 because he made it.
Before we begin, I will list all the apps I have included. For ease of use, I highly recommend getting rid of any app on the list from your phones data folder first. For example, if you downloaded Facebook from the market, remove it from your data folder. Not saying you HAVE TO, just putting it out there if you run into issues, you know how to fix them.
Also for the market... this one you do HAVE to do... First, verify that you DO NOT have a vending app in \data\app!!!!! If you do this will not install!!! You will need to uninstall updates before flashing... Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>"ALL" tab>Market>Uninstall Updates
Will it break your phone if you don't do that? No, it just won't install a market... at all!
Lastly, I have taken the time to guide every .9.png file in the framework and in every app I touched. What this means to you.... If you want to make other changes, everything will decompile and recompile without error. Of course you need to add the dependencies if your editing systemui or settings but thats a blur thing. Not something I did.
Now.. onto the part anyone actually cares about..
The theme is located here.... No.. over there ----> ok its actually back there <------
If you see any issues or think of anything else to add let me know.
Here's whats included
framework
SystemUI
Calculator
Camera
Contacts
Dialer
Phone
Facebook (Inverted)
Gallery3D
Gmail (Inverted)
Google Quick Search (Inverted)
Keyboard (updated from 2.2 to be darker)
Settings (Inverted)
GTalk (Inverted)
Market (Inverted)
Google Voice (Inverted)
Some of these apps will be called dark or black in the app drawer. Example: Facebook = Dark Facebook

haha.. posted this in 3 forums... glad someone finally got it!
Yeah its exactly the thing I did in math class...every year...
Anyways, what are the chances we could just install the apps individually? I'm really only interested in the blacked out gmail.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
just open up the theme in 7zip and delete what you dont want.
No stone unturned... we had to do some smali edits on gmail to get it to work. looks good though. now i realize that is the screenshot that is missing.
I just extracted the apk and used root explorer to push it into system/app. Changed permissions, rebooted, and voila!

As long as it works and you like it, I dont care how you got it on your phone...lol
Good stuff man. I noticed a few small things that I thought I would share, nothing deal breaking or anything like that.
1.) I noticed when you're in the middle of unlocking the phone theres like a slight white bar in the unlock tab, this doesn't occur when you switch between silent and audible mode.
2.) When you're in a call and say if you're on speaker and drag down the notifications the call information is pretty hard to see maybe a lighter shade of black?
3.) Some of the press colors are still orange/blue.
4.) When downloading from a browser the status bar is blue opposed to red and you can't read what you're downloading (b on b issue).
Still one slick theme regardless! Thanks!
Very nice work xkape. Appreciate the quick turnaround for 0.4.
I noticed there is something unthemed in the blacked out gmail. When in your inbox an you check an email and click on the "labels" button that interface is not blacked out, it is black type on a white bg. When you scroll on this screen the entire screen blacks out and you cannot read your labels. Not a deal breaker by any means but I am just throwing it out there.
Sounds like the colorchachehint is ok (thats what makes it black when you scroll) but the bg and text need to be switched. I'll take a look at that.

1) Should be an easy fix
2) Just saw that. I tested to see if it was in frame or phone and im pretty sure I just missed it in the framework. I'll find it.
3) Theres just so many of the damn things. Hard to get em all.
4) Never used the stock browser before. I use Dolphin HD. So, this one probably won't get fixed.
I'm adding one... in the phone when you are looking at a specific number in recent. if you click on it for "call details" that screen needs fixed. I think Im also going to darken the text of the unselected tabs. I thought the grey I chose was darker than that.
And by the way.. thank you both for pointing those out to me. I can't fix the theme and make it better if I don't know it needs to be.
I use boat browser mini.
I did some investigationg into the ongoing black on black issue in the status bar. Each app sets that seperately. The only way to fix that would be to either a) make the whole things white again with black text or b) edit each app that points at a black color instead of a white one for text. I will edit it for phone app and for dolphin.
Nice theme, I haven't found anything I don't like. The boot animation is sweet too.
I've never been a fan of just black and white themes, but this looks very tasteful. I'll give this a shot after flashing Eclipse .4 later!
triton, I never was either. In fact, I had never even used BNB. But, I came to feel that colorized themes just didnt work for me anymore. So I decided Id use BNB and edit up to the X2.
Although, I must admit, I am a sucker for those neon themes in Blue or Red.

Eh, the neon themes are ok, but I'm picky about what themes I have on my device. This one you made looks great though!
neon image i just made right quick.
I was thinking this could take the place of the buttons.. for example.
thanks triton!
I've got a list from peoples feedback of a few imperfections here and there. I'll be fixing those real soon as well.
I ran into an issue with the app shortcuts on my home screen not moving to delete. They were frozen. I could add them to the homepage but couldn't delete. I flashed eclipse.4 and everything is working correctly now. I did install that speedy zip yesterday. Not sure if that was the issue or not. Would that be launcher issue or something in the theme zip?

Dark Notification Text

A little thing but annoys me... When i get a notification from CNN for example the text is black and you cannot read it in the notification center... Is there a way to change the text color?
The system has global light and dark colors. If the app writer forces a specific color, like black, it can cause problems like that. If the app writer refers back to system colors, they will automatically present in a readable format. Unfortunately, in this case, its a poorly written app reference forcing black text, and your only choice to be able yo read it is to try a theme with a light color background in the notification shade. Serendipity 8 has a white background in there, so that would make it readable.
Long story short, no, you cannot change the text color.

That's an issues with the theming of certain roms. installing a third party launcher such as go launcher EX or one of the others may help.

I don't think so. I have the stock ROM w/ root. It's an issue with the stock firmware

[Q] Is there a fix for this?

Hello
I'm using ICS final no tweaks by Jusada and i've noticed on some drop down menu's when using the internet that the text is very pale grey on a white background and i can barely read it. Is there a fix for this please?
Example:
The Tripadvisor app, when trying to select a date or city the pop up menu looks blank but when you look very closely you can see the text it's almost white on a white background. Other menus on the internet appear this way too.
Try new version of the ICS-Theme from here:

That's because of the theme. Change it or update it and the problem will be gone ;D
Thank you both, all fixed now, it's been driving me mad!

Ideas for new apps

I'm looking to create another app and wanted to see if there are any ideas out there in XDA-land. My existing app is listed below in my sig. Preferably not a niche application and would rather come up with something that could gain pretty high visibility.
Ideas?
There's an entire forum dedicated to app requests on androidforums.com . You may want to check there.
Oh slick thanks! I'll check that out.
you can try this
App that shows data transfer rate(WIFI,Mobile data) on the notification bar
here are some apps for eg--
DU meter but its in the notification panel...i need one in the notification bar
and there was another app called network meter and lots of other...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...oidMeter&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...c3BlZWQucHQiXQ..
but none of them have it on the notification bar....
this one fits my need...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ZHNlcnZpY2UiXQ..
but isnt refreshed in real time
and slows the phone and battery life
Questions should be asked in the Q&A forums, not Development forums.

The problem is android doesn't actually support dynamic notification icons. So to change the number of a data rate to be real time you essentially have to re submit the notification over and over which would kill your battery.

clipboard sync
I have been searching for one app from very long time now.. My idea for a app is clipboard sync.. Its like the clipboard of my pc and mobile is shared.. either through internet/wifi.. or some notepad kind of thing.. when i copy and paste it on that window it should appear on the same type of window in my phone too.. Online sync.. then we can have option like whether we want to save them or something.. It will help most of the time as we need to copy some address/note from my pc to my mobile to send it as a message may be.. There are some apps on that regard.. evernote is too big with all those crap features which most of people do not use.. I could have done this but sadly i am not a developer .. point me to some app if its already there and i couldnt find it.. And if any developer came across this post please let me know if you are interested to make this app..

[Q] Galaxy S3 phone icon pink

My "phone" icon changed from the usual Green with the phone in it, to a Pink icon with a phone and one arrow pointing up and another pointing down.
This happened by itself accompanied by a 1 missed call notification that wouldn't go away (no voicemail, call logs, msgs, etc)...
I did a factory reset and the notification went away but the icon came back pink, I haven't rooted it, installed dialers, nor anything beyond installing market apps.
Have any of you seen this happen, and does anyone know of any fix?
Thanks for your help!
So I'm alone in this?
does anyone know at least how to change it to the stock green icon?
lol, that your theme
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I didn't change the theme, no Go Theme or any other, it changed when I got a missed call, and didn't change back.
Originally it did come with the Green icon, I assumed that a factory reset would have fixed it, but it didn't...
How do you explain all the other themed icons? Like messaging and contacts ? Those aren't stock touchwiz either
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Honestly it came like that from my provider, Telcel from Mexico. And as I mentioned I did a factory reset and the icon still came back pink (which was the usual green when I first got it).
I didn't willingly or knowingly change my theme nor parts of the theme
it is phone company's theme.
wow that's lovely pink.
:fingers-crossed:
yeah, i think its iTelcel's theme as well. if you look at the iTelcel icon it matches the icon for the phone, messages, music, contacts and internet as well. I think the theme wasn't properly applied when you first got it?
