I have searched and searched and read and read and just dont understand how to properly change my status by icons. I was hoping to make them red to match the theme on my phone. I am currently running rezrom 1.6. If there is anyone out there that could help me understand this it would be very much appreciated.
Yes you need to open the SystemUI.apk file from your ROM with a tool like 7zip or WinRar(do not extract the apk just open to look around for the pics). Find the icons you want to change(usually located in drawable-hdpi or drawable-xhdpi) drag them to your desktop, edit them, then drag them back into the correct location using one of the programs above... hopefully that makes sense
Thank you very much, that makes the most sense so far, so many threads say so many different things, decompiling, signing, flashing, i had tried everything and was only able to get the battery mod to work with the kitchen. I appreciate it very much.

Yeah man all the decompiling and stuff is mainly if you want to edit xml,smali,.9 pngs and stuff like that... but regular images such as the icons you can just do what i told you... Glad i could help out
You were a huge help. I was to the point of pulling my hair out haha. Im pretty good at any tech stuff as long as i have a simple guide on something ive never done but this is the one thing out of everything android thats been driving me crazy.
Lol trust me i've been there before dude. So did you get them to work?
If its not one thing its another haha. Now my computer is acting up, i give up for the night. I gotta wake up at five for work so ill just give it a shot tomorrow. Thanks again though man you were a life saver.
Lol that sucks, no problem man
By the way if you or anyone you know needs a guinea pig or tester of some sort im down anytime. Im fairly new to the community but like i said im pretty technically sound. And i always have to be messing with something to keep me happy haha.
Alright man im currently making an ICS looking camera for GB, i'll have a test file later tomorrow if you would want to try that
Yea for sure, let me know.

Well.... It has happened again... I get an OTA and the ish talking starts bout me holding back the "community"... So again I'm going to release the file I have... This time will be a little different though. I stated VERY clearly in the radio thread what I was doing and the fact that this OTA WILL NOT FLASH nor will anyone know wtf to do with it.... No one listened and instead ran their necks so F it.... Once you realize that there are several hundred .p patch files that will need to be applied to individual files, in succession, through 5 builds, then figuring out what kind of patches they are to begin with, then figuring out you need a specific binary to apply them, one you cant get, your on the right track.... Good luck with that... I'm sorry about this but honestly I'm tired of working on a device I don't even use, for days and days, with pneumonia mind you, for people to talk ish and complain about what I am doing. So I'm gonna leave it in the hands of the "well wishers" and let them take care of this for you guys... To those that havent *****ed, I apologize, but I'm pretty fed up with the amount of ignorance around here... So anyways, heres your OTA... Have fun with it and I will stop back by with an "I told you so" every now and then.... CR
Froyo Espresso OTA
lol im glad i have an epic. i just wanted to see what you were talking about in your twitter feed
People are still saying you're holding back from the community? Yeah, they're definitely ignorant. :/ I wasn't exactly around when this stuff was going on before, but I was lurking and even then it was pretty dumb.
Sorry that it has to happen this way, CR! Thank you for the work you've contributed thus far and all the great gifts you come bearing when you stop by.(Like this latest radio).
Well thanks to everyone who whines and *****es... a true dev comes along to help and you find a way to make him leave haha.. thanks CR for the work and trying mate. Good thing I'm getting new G2 on Tuesday

Well, I managed to update to this using some secret sauce, but I have now permanently lost root and S-OFF. Exploid and Rage Against the Cage-based exploits DO NOT WORK on this version of the kernel (2.6.32.29) included in this OTA.
On the plus side it does have USB/Wifi tethering built-in, so my need for root has dramatically decreased.
Just stick with whatever you have now until a new exploit comes out for >= 2.6.32.29, but don't hold your breath since it's unlikely ANY time soon.
:/ it is sad....at least you gave us the radio! And actually tried to patch the files! Thanks for all the work....hope you come back!

There is a quick and simple solution to this problem and I think that most will agre that it is for the better of the community.\
First call these people out by name, post their PM's if any publicly
Then have their accounts suspended for no less than 30 days.
How dare someone make a statement like that, We got what 1 maybe 2 developers left with this device? Are you flipping kidding me? You asses are sitting there complaining about how the development on this device is dead, yet when someone has something, and is working n something you jump the freaking gun with stupid ill thought out comments.
So now it up to you lil ^itches that think you know everything to develop for this device. You wanted what he had released so freaking bad. So lets see what ya got... Hell there is no reason why you should not be able to crank out a working ROM with what he released by the of the day today.... I mean hell if you can't then YOU held back development of this phone.
XDA needs to do something about this.
The whole 10 post rule is BS. It does nothing
I think it needs to become a pay to play forum
I know thats not how it SHOULD be, and that it
COULD hinder development. but I DOUBT it.
Personally.....
CR your work is awesome, I appreciate it very much. Thank you for what you have done,
to the ^itches.... Thanks now I gotta go buy a new damn phone, that developers want to work on. Hopefully you are broke ass kids and cant afford a new one and will stay here and die with this forum, and phone. After all you started this...
Wow CR this sux that people's ignorance has to stop us from getting froyo finally with flash possibilities. This sux...
Thanks Chief for all the hard work. I thought your last update was the best rom and didn't have any problems. I guess its time to upgrade.

I am pretty sure I know who it was... If you read through the RADIO thread there are 2 or 3 that were practically begging for the files he had.
I wont call them out myself being that I DONT FOR SURE KNOW. but if you read through there you could possibly figure it out. I am not encouraging anything, but I am sure a few people around here know of a few ways that will have their ISP shut them down for a day or so....

Chief wasn't the only one being bugged about the files. I've got a crap load of PMs and tweets asking me for the ota. I'm doing my best to provide CR with the files he needs to get this working for you guys. Hell, I don't even have a slide. Did I have to contact Chief letting him in on the file? Nope. If you guys would have waited a day or 2, you probably would have had a working OTA. But no, you had to keep *****ing to me and CR.
Chief, if you still want the files, hit me up on G and ill grab them.

Most of the people who wanted to see this zip released are not at all interested in actually running this rom. In fact, the more interesting bits are the sdio and tiwlan files that we might be able to fix the still-borked wifi in CM7.
Chiefz: nobody intended to give you ****, but there is absolute truth in the saying that many hands make light work. The more people looking at this, the more likely it is that it can be put to good use. The folks in #mytouchslide will be putting lots of eyes on this to see what outstanding issues we might be able to fix.
Thank you for releasing this and I'm sorry if you felt people were hassling you.

2.2.1 Rooted OTA..u will be missed.
i personally think this was a good move to shut the people up that dont know what they are doing (like myself, (-) the talking crap part). but now that you have made your point chiefz, you should really continue your work. you would have the praise of the community!
No this was not a good move. It has left so many of without any hope of ever making our phones just that much cooler, that much better...

Get him on his twitter account and he might just work with you. I think it is on one of his threads or maybe all of them.
Ahhh here it is: http://mobile.twitter.com/dmonsterprod
Are you sure you want to beta test roms on something you rely on for work? I'm all for everybody helping in any way they can, but don't actively TRY to Mod Edit yourself. The reason the stuff is a beta is because it (sometimes) needs polishing, and could possibly require effort on your part to get it back to usable.
Case in point: I had an iphone 3g, i was on the 4.0 alpha, and was testing jailbreaks. I went two full days without a functioning phone because it bricked and I had to wait for apple to release the next update before itunes would update it.
By all means, do it if you're interested in helping, but don't think for one second that the beta testers are just getting a sneak peak at the latest release software before it's available.
Hey man thanks for the link.
Cbass, youre right, im really doin it for sneak peeks sure but id like to lend a hand, I use the **** outta his rom and im not in a place to donate. I dont like, WORK from my phone. Economy os hard on former felons man I havnt found a decent job in almost 2 years. Just buying, selling, fixing, modding and flashing
If it wasnt for this site and others like it I wouldnt have any work. I think its time to give back and pitch in at least a bit.
Haha, I'm not knocking, I'd just hate to see you post up "save me jeebus! bricked phone, and I'm about to Mod Edit a 2 million dollar a year account!"
Who is the culprit here? Someone must have said something. Man up and apologize to him immediately. He's one of the best themers/ modders on this site and it will be so sad without him. Please everyone, show your support for this great guy who has been making mods for us since day one. Show some damn appreciation and thank him. Send a donation if you can.

my theory is that it's not an individual or a few but the community. everyone was ranting and raving and showing impatience for his upcoming themes. when the time came to release he was underwhelmed from the thanks/donations afterwards. I could be wrong but that's my guess

But no one ever donates to the guy!

Sure, they are optional, but people start getting demanding and the money helps put up with the idiots. I think the enjoyment starts to go away.
I always donate to those whose work I consistently use. But then I also buy apps.
There's a reason why devs want to dev for iphone even though there are more android phones out there. Android users tend to be cheapskates who would rather steal an app than pay for it.
cant blame the community . this one is the same as others. i know someone who was working on bamf rezound in the beginning said hed stop cause of the "community" and he did . we're not THAT bad, but quitting cause of that is kinda lame- though i do understand in away .

Yes you do, thank you!
And yes the second part of that statement tends to be true. Users forget that Dev's are people with real lives and real responsibilities and that Android Dev'ing, for the most, of us is just a hobby like collecting Stamps or baseball cards. They seem to think that because we make cool things we are some giant company with the resources of many when in fact we are only one person trying to bring some fun to your device. But anyways.. You know that already and I am grateful for your support!
I don't know about the iPhone thing though. I couldn't deal with it if I had to. I love Android. Never really liked Apple. Hahaha

honestly, I would still be on wp7 if verizon had one with lte and a bigger screen. Really enjoyed my hd7. Spent more time using my phone. Tinkering with it is fun, but didn't miss it jumping from winmo to wp7. Used to build my own roms back then, but haven't had the time to really dive into what makes android tick.

I got my invite and downloaded it. I let it run for 3 days before ditching it. In theory it is great, it would know when you are at work and give you apps that you would mainly use for work... home - give you games or whatever. Problem is, it didn't. It worked for a few hours the first morning, then it kept switching me to something else. Even when I was on my home wi fi it would give me work stuff. It would tell me that I was driving when I was sitting at my desk, or that I was home while sitting in my office... plus it's not customizable if that matters to you.
I figured that I would let it run for a few days to see if it ironed itself out about my locations, but it didn't. And the odd thing was it kept turning my bluetooth on all day. That part I didn't understand at all. I sent a note to the developers and got a canned response about being in beta and all that, but never heard back from them. I went back to Apex. That's my story, take it for what it's worth. Good luck.

Maybe the other 94 views didn't see anything worth saying thanks for like myself. It would be different if you made the theme yourself but you simply posted a theme you found on Google play. Congratulations. I personally think that theme sucks. It's bright and very plain. Looks very similar to stock. I've got 3 different themes I use on substranium. Should I make 3 new threads and expect thanks? Lol
Seriously, Im not trying to be an a hole. I just didn't think you posted anything that merits a thanks. Actually I don't even think this merits it's own post. And then you coming back on all butt hurt that nobody thanked your post was just lame af and kinda makes you look like a d bag.

Lol… And you've been on here since 2012??? Look at the Dev. thread and see how many thanks they got for either making a Rom or putting up instructions on how to flash a GSI to our devices and answer lots of questions and help in there spare time!!
Very little my friend! Take a look! And as for it being a Subsratum theme means nothing except as I posted that I haven't seen any themes on here yet! And thought it would be a great idea for posting one so others on stock that cant get Pie to work, could atleast have the Pie look! You know, that New firmware that we are not getting Lmao! And further more, ive seen in threads that some were having problems getting substatum to work!!! No I didnt make a Theme myself, but I took the time to put up a thread for others to see and help HELP them if they had questions on how to install or anything for that matter! So, yes a thanks goes a long way when your doing this on your spare time!!!
Ive been on here for awhile now too and I had all the Samsung Note series and alot of the S 6,7,8 plus series and I have Made Roms, Mods, THEMES Etc. and have helped many!!!
So, before you respond to something, maybe take a look at what they have done for XDA community in there free spare time and support, not put Down my brotha!!!!!!!
And I do believe this is your post
"so the first guy to successfully get 2.3 to boot on a Sidekick only has 20 thanks on the op. Thats kinda sad. I know it's a long long way from being a daily driver but much THANKS windxixi. You are forever a Sidekick legend in my book. Respect"

And you dont have to thank someone only if you use there Rom or Mod or Theme! Just cause you ended up on there thread and liked it, but maybe didnt use it at that time!
Fellow XDA's, these guys do this for free and in there spare time and we are losing them fast! I posted that comment on my thread because I dont want to clutter up someone elses! But ive been looking at Roms to Flash and see no Love for the guys that work hard to bring you these wondetful roms, mods etc. So, dont be like this guy (theusualDBag) in the post above mine who has thanked 0nly 44 times in 6+ years!

Oh you got way more thanks them me. Congrats. Sorry I've been too busy living life to care about thanks. I'm more concerned about taking care of my mother with cancer, my father that's had 3 strokes, and that my bank account goes up every time my face is shown on the video Billboard in front of Harrahs on the Vegas strip. Hack im more concerned with the fact that I travel so much I don't even know what city, state, or time zone I'm in half the time when I wake up. What I'm not concerned about is how many thanks I have on xda in however many years. Do the 4 guys in my inbox from the last week that I've helped recover their bricked phones who actually said thanks count? Id prolly have more then you if I begged for thanks on every post as well. Or maybe I should get on Twitter and beg them to come on xda and thank me because I know I have way more followers then you do. I agree with most everything else you say, the developers do deserve more cred. But the developers I talk to do it because they love to do it, not because some dork hit a thanks button. None of this still doesn't change the fact that you didn't develope **** or that i still think that youre a ***** and I could drop you with an open hand smack. When you do something worth thanking, I'll hit the button. But congrats on having more thanks then me. I'm sure your mom and boyfriend are so proud of you.
