Ok i know there are a bunch of different launchers and battery icons but where can i find them? I'm talking about the ones people use on here, a lot of them aren't on the market. I'll try a few different launchers but as far as the battery in particular i like the one on Macnut10 where its yellow circle with the number in the middle. I'm running the unoffcial froyo jk2 right now so everything is like stock and nothings customized. So if someone could point me in the right direction for both id appreciate it cuz i've looked all over and couldn't find anything.
Read this section... Metamorph is your friend. Some battery mods are flashable zips, those usually include accurate battery fixes. Once you have that you can make a metamorph to use any drawables you want in the framework-res.apk. Remember, always make a nandroid backup.

Dude, if you don't know how to use metamorph or flash a zip, you should not be running something experimental like JK2 froyo, you're gonna end up in a boat load of trouble for lack of knowledge. Metamorph is an app from the market, it really can't get much simpler as long as you're smart enough to only use morphs that are compatible with your ROM, as all ROMs have different specifications and compatability with framework. And you definitely do have time to learn because if your life was incredibly busy and time consuming with endless responsibilities you wouldn't give a **** about how pretty your battery icon looks. So you don't have time to learn anything, don't want to flash, don't want to morph, wtf do you want? An app with a huge button that creates whatever you're imagining? Your battery icon will turn circular if you do the following, download ROM manager and select partition SD card, it will reveal customized framework that is masked by the stock look you see now, it's not yellow though, it's blue.
Yes, I care how my phone looks. The point of this thread is since obviously a lot of people make their own it was for people to kindly post the zips or apks so I can try some out thanks for another un helpful post.

I'm going to go ahead and say it as well.. this belongs in the q&a section. Besides, I think you'd be much better off there seeing as how you already pissed off everyone in this section. Better yet, press the back button and READ the themes and apps section. Although, all the wonderful and simple customizations you seem to be looking for do not exist... You really should have taken the advice on Metamorph you were given instead of childishly assuming there is some magical apk that will make your imaginary "customizations" come to life. Oh well. Good luck with your searching.

Ok I'm not going to even try to defend the original poster as that was all uncalled for but the question is valid. The only metamorphs I've tried on 2.2 has not worked or has made me do a nandroid restore. It'd be nice if I atleast knew how to change the notification bar and the battery icon to something a little different. If anyone has done this successfully with an existing metamorph, please post it, if not for the original poster, then for me. I'd certainly thank you for it. And yes, I know how to use metamorph, but even some of the metamorphs in the themes and apps section don't work with all mods in 2.1, let alone 2.2.
Thanks

oh and I did create a thread in the q/a section but I saw this thread here afterwards and thought I'd chime in. If you would rather answer over there, that certainly is cool with me.
Guys remember this guys username he will be posting in a week or so " HELP ME PLEASE I BRICKED MY PHONE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID WRONG " you are a f***ing idiot someone tried to help you and you spit in their face you lazy moron
I often see a lot of uncalled for arrogance and obtuse retorts to noobs who need help where a little understanding would do the trick....this is not one of those instances. You should have your butler mod your phone for you. Freaking ass-chapeau.

you should start from here and you are supposed to already know how to program using the Java language.
what type you trying to build??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
search xda portal it has something like this., how to make an android app a serices of 5 .......that should help you
Making a launcher is not something you should be attempting for your first app Even if you do already know quite a bit of Java, a launcher is pretty complex. Start with more basic stuff and work your way up. Anyway, there are already dozens of launchers; are you sure your idea is better than all of them? Or at least unique enough from all of them to be worth the effort it will take? (Not trying to discourage you, just want to make sure you don't waste your time)

I really like htc sense. You dont know how much I like it. But all of these sense launchers/themes just dont cut it. I was trying to make a Sense 4 launcher that actually looks 90% similar to htc's work with out getting in trouble with htc. That will take a LONNNNG time.

Considering you just said you don't know ANY Java, I highly doubt you will reach that point within the next year, at the very least. After that, consider how no one else has been able to create what you want, despite there being many people who DO know what they're doing trying to do so.
In all honestly, you are FAR better to find some decent theme for an existing launcher and work on improving that theme to the point you want it.

Why build your own App from scratch?
Why are you wanting to build an App from scratch? Apple have made it a complex process with loads of hoops to jump through.
Have you considered buying a clone app or someone elses ready made app and the playing around with its appearance? It'll save a lot of headache. It's one of the reasons why I setup TwistMob which enables new Devs to buy or sell existing Apps.
I don't really know if this is the right place, but this is as general as it gets. I've been messing around with my Xperia U for a while now. Modding ROMS and such. And when I mean modding, I mean very superficial, like just rooting, deleting unwanted files and stuff. I'm also fresh out of high school and I have quite alot of time before I go back.
So, I was hoping to really get to know the android system. It's always intrigued me. Is there a tutorial on creating kernels and developing ROMS?
Also, when you try to port CM for example to a phone. How exactly do you work towards fixing the hardware problems. Whats steps do you exactly do?
Option "Search".

Thanks for the links.
One more question, suppose you're making a port of a rom from one device to another and if some of the components like wi-fi dont work. How do they make it work? Do they have to make drivers from scratch, or they find it from somewhere. I mean, I ask this, if there are no sources made available by the manufacturer.
Hello, I understand that many of the ROMs are having issues with the music playback. I know the fix is just changing 2 lines in the build prop.. My question is, if that's the fix then why do the devs not make the fix before they release their builds? Seems like it would make life a little easier for all involved?

Is it that hard to change two words? Besides you can just save a file and make it permanent.

Thank you Zach that is exactly what I'm saying! Is it really that hard for Devs to make this change knowing that if they do not then everyone that uses their product will have to? I just do not see the sense in not changing it prerelease as I have seen tons of users commenting on here complaining about the music issue only to be directed to the fix. Why does there need to be a fix?

brah its two little lines takes all of thirty seconds to do not that big of a deal, maybe they don't do it because there to busy making you a free rom. I get what your saying though, but I think we as users shouldn't have to be spoon fed everything. If a dev fixes it for us in his rom great if not no biggie I'll do it myself. Don't forget they really don't get paid for doing this for us.

I found out the hard way that there is some type of bug with the gps. when i try to get turn by turn directions it gets hung up while searching for signal. does anyone know if and how i can solve this problem? does anyone have any good ROM recommendations? i am not really a big ROM flasher, nor am i into theming or anything like that. to be honest the only reason i rooted my phone was bc my friend said it was a good thing to do so if anyone has any thoughts or advice on anything ive mentioned i would greatly appreciate it

Noob mistake. Use the search function before asking a question. Chances are you will find an answer to most questions you have.
GPS Status and Toolbox should help for the GPS
Beans ainec IMHO (there is a thread recommending, just need to search)

I don't know why some people insist on calling n00bs out for everything. They too were once a noob. Your question is fair- there are two things you can do:
1. Turn on GPS and try to navigate somewhere, then go into Settings/More Settings under Wireless and Network/Mobile Networks/ and change the Network mode to CDMA/LTE to Global or vice versa. See if that works.
OR
2. Reflash back to Stock or whatever ROM you have had a GPS lock on and establish a lock. Then nandroid flash back to whatever ROM you want (i.e. JediROM). Try to navigate- most likely it will work.
I would advise though, hitting the Crtl F key... :highfive:

Really the way some noobs are treated they are turned away from the community. I have been guilty of *****ing out noobs before as have most of us. It gets very old to answer these questions every day when people could have used the search function to find the answer.
On the same hand the reason some of the noobs dont even come to XDA and screw up their phones by using roms and rooting methods is because of the attitude here at XDA and the way noobs get treated. Im not saying every noob gets treated badly but when the first post tells them to search without trying to answer the question that gives a initial impression of an assholish community.

Very true, but you can choose to sort thru one sub forum at a time and that geta rid of the majority of the posts that dont apply to you. Of course most noobs are confused by the way XDA is set up, I was confused by it a bit when I joined but it was a bit more disorganized then than it is now.
The reason most of us get a little annoyed with noobs and repetitive posts is when there are 3 posts that are the same thing one right after another and there is an answer in one but they didnt bother to even look at the Q&A section before posting.
The worst part though is when there are posts in thr Development sections, when I joined there was no Q&A sub forums and I still had enough sense to not post in Development.
Those of us who do try to donate our time and answer questions for new members need to leave our attitudes at the door when we start helping them unless it is warranted, and there most definitely are times that attitude is warranted. They are there asking for help because they honestly dont know what to do or don't understand a process and they asked for help not attitudes for posting a question in the Help and Q&A Thread. Its really giving the sitenas a whole a bad name because of the attitudes that some members have towards noobs even when they follow all the rules and have legitimate questions. I hate saying that about XDA because I love the site so much but it's the honest truth.
