BatteryStatus Today-Plugin notification

I"m using the Battery-Statue Today-Plugin and i started getting this notification that says that the program is freeware and i can continue to use it as long as i want. the thing is it pops-up about 5 times in a row and it has been doing it all day. Does anyone know how to disable this notification or make it not pop-up so often?

yup..i started getting it today...so ANNOYING..any way to disable it? im also using Duttys V4 rom

ha I just added a post at the end of dutty's v4 RTM 200 page thread about it happening to me today.

Me too!
Started earlier today and just uninstalled....
Anyone know of a diffrent one without the nag screen?

me too, it wouldnt leave me alone lol.
but everytime ill slide the keyboard or turn on the display it would tell me that.

Basically the fix is to install the newest build.

Opps, it probably not a good idea to have it inside our rom then ....

omg this battery status thing is horrible. Why did it happen to us at the same time. Weird stuff. Anyways, just hard reset and its worked for about an hour for me (so far). Otherwise it was every time i opened anything, turned the screen on, or slid the phone open.

ME TOO
Omg, me too! Just started today, does it all damn day. The link provided above, is it the same battery status in black/white that dutty always provides in his roms? Ive installed the program myself on schap's roms because he never cooks this in and the program is rainbow colored. I have a black and white theme so dutty's battery status icon is perfect, not the standard colored icon. Any help to make it like dutty's?

Hard Reset?! Talk about using an axe when a butter knife would suffice!
Ok, I am really not flaming. REALLY! Doing a hard reset for this just seems so extreme . . .
Simply reinstall it from the cab and "poof" all better. However, if it is date based (which would explain it happening on the same day) rather than based on a length of use, neither will fix it.
Anyway, we should support the latest build. Anyone have a link to find it?
Hard reset!? That just kills me!!

I reinstalled the cab (BatteryStatusExt.1.04.CAB) and even tried the beta version (BatteryStatusExt.1.04.203.beta4.CAB).
Still get the pop-up. Must be some kind of easter egg type Y2K thing that the creator put in there. I can only assume it is set for Jan 31 since it happened to all of us on the same day. I am going to uninstall it and reinstall on Feb 2 and see what happens. So far I ruined 1 spreadsheet I was working on when the popup came up and I closed it and the excel closed along with it losing my worksheet with all my typing on it. kind of pissed me off.

same here.... getting crazy... will try new version

BTW, this is on my T-Mo WING, so you guys know its not Kaiser specific.

hi have installed the new version and it seems to be ok now

It happened to mine for a day or so and today it has not happened at all... well yet... maybe its just for a limited duration? I havent done anything special to stop it and while I dl'd the latest version I have not yet installed it (waiting to flash a new ROM and get my 8gb card in)... but it seems to have stopped... *touches wood*

has anyone successfully installed the new version on a ROM like Dutty's that already had the batterystatus part of the ROM and it has successfully removed the popup?

could you upload or link to the latest version. Mine is still fine after the cab install but I'd like to have the latest version. TIA!
EDIT: found it with a quick search. For those who want it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=68242&d=1201821093

Yeah I just got the message yesterday also...it must have popped up at least 20 times.

Mine seems to have stopped doing it now... which is a good thing as it was rather annoying...

I reinstalled the latest release and the annoying nag has gone.

[THEME] mercury/liquid metal

this is the first theme i have ever made. i started on it yesterday and worked all night and day to get it out in just under a day. there are a few files that got edited and looked kinda crappy but most of the files look just fine.
** i fixed the crappy icons and the theme now includes a skinned dialer, sip and spb calc. i will update it later to include more icons, a skinned task manager and skinned tp2 calulator.**
heres the download link:HERE

Looks nice!

heya, what software do you use to make your battery look like that? I've been looking around but none of the themes say the name of the battery software.

Hi everybody!
Look nice but link is dead.

Search for "taskbar icons" like I did here

I was specifically looking at fatalcharade's taskbar. It looks really cool and I'm wondering where he got it from.

i fixed the link. the version i posted was glitchy so i deleted the file from my server. i then put up the fixed version but forgot to come here and fix the link.
i also made a dialer for it that makes the phone look the same, if you would like it i can upload that too.

Wallpaper
@ Fatal Charade- Could u upload the wallpaper for your theme in the screenshot or send a link to it?

not sure how i fix this but after running your installer the theme displayed fine execpt that the call history calendar and the background of the clock are still black and realy hard to read any idea how i make them white like in the photo

the link is broken
I can't find the link that u mention above..
could u give me the precise address or the update one..
how to install this theme?
is it just like the regular *.cab files installation?
or need something else?
many thanks.

i just recently changed the links and stuff, i updated the first post.

How to go about modding the on screen keyboard?

Ok so I have been searching the forums and I cannot find an exact answer for what I want to change so if this is a problem that had already been solved, please direct me to the thread.
I just recently dl'd the chm binary release and like it. But the on screen keyboard is hard on my eyes.
So my question is how would I go about replacing it with something like, o say the buuf on screen keyboard instead?
HTC_IME is not what I want just to clarify.
And once again, I apologize if this has already been threaded...

There is no way that none of you know this...

We could help you, but it is a 3rd party keyboard. What keyboard is it?

I'm not really sure. After installing the HTC_IME, I now have 2. Htc keyboard and android keyboard. If I knew how to take a screenie, I would but I don't.
As far as I know, its the on screen keyboard I've had since I rooted...
The keyboard that comes with chm binary is what I want to change...

well, I know how to modify the look of the builtin keyboard, but I haven't messed with 3rd party stuff.
The stock keyboard can be changed by theming. They're just png files, although the .9.pngs make it a little bit more complicated.

Well I kinda figured as much but what I'm really trying to ask is where do I find them?

They're in framework-res.apk on the phone. If you extract this file they'll be under res/drawable/
The filenames are btn_keyboard*.png
By using metamorph or creating an update.zip style theme you can change these and apply a theme to the phone. Theming is a real pain, but I think it's worth learning how to do.

Ya, I have already pieced together a blackbar to my liking so I'm well aware of the hassles it is to do. I'll be learning the .9's as soon as I get my pc parts back from rma and then I'll try to put out a skin.
Thanks bud, I'll look into this tomorrow after I've slept...

If you want to do this easily, download the buff keyboard skin for better keyboard, and take the .9.pngs from there.

Wow! Now that should have been said at the very beginning. Good thing I was too busy today to get to that. Cloverdale, you just saved me a few hours of frustration. still though, I thank the both of you for the help. I will update the thread when I have success so everyone knows its solved!
Ps- anyone else try to read the forums on your phone? Its a little tricky...
Sorry for the off topic comment but I felt the need...

ok so I couldn't really find a way to download the better keyboard/buuf theme on the pc so I went and tried swapping the btn-keyboard---'s and noting happened after add.
So now I'm on the hunt for the better keyboard dl
I don't know where to look for the file when dl'ing to phone so if all else fails, I guess I could dl to phone and then search for it by folder by painstaking folder...
Update - I cannot for the life of me find the file on the web or on the phone. I dl'd from marketplace but I must not be very smart cause I don't know where marketplace stores stuff...
Downloading the better keyboard theme was supposed to save me grief but in fact, it did the exact opposite...
Update - Well I thought by removing the btn_keyboard_key.xml would solve my problem considering the BUUF skin does not contain one. Same nasty black and blue keyboard. All the buuf keyboard .--- are there so I'm confused once again.
I do not want to install another pay-for app and I don't want the entire buuf theme as of now so I will wait till later today after sleep and try again.
Unless someone knows exactly what's wrong. I'm doing everything I can to keep this 3 month old drywall from having holes in it...
I thought the black bar mod was hard to do... hahaha! That was a cake walk compared to this...
Update - Removing the xml's to the keyboard was a bad idea. It forced closed the android keyboard cause it wanted to change the language to latin or something like that. Touch Input keyboard (HTC_IME) will still work though and I made backups so all of this is just a learning experience for me.
...This is so not like modding and skinning a moto. Way more complicated. So much can go wrong.
Which reminds me, how do I view the .xml's with win7? Never done it before...

So does anyone have any other ideas? Maybe there's something I've been missing this whole time?
I have replaced the btn_keyboard--- files in the framework-res.apk like I was told to do and there is no effects... at all. Positive or negative...

Well the only other place I can think of is the LatinIME.apk, but I'm not sure about that one

You know, that almost makes sense cause when I removed the .xml for the keyboard to make it match with buuf, the phone kept screaming at me about ..... latin something. So I will check this out and let you know.
But now I have a new problem. I think I need to remove a few applications cause my phone keeps force closing everything after reboot due to an update.zip file. So once I conquor this then I'll start working on the original problem...

com.htc.resource.apk issues...

hey, i've been screwing around pulling .apks from /system/app + /framework...and pretending i'm some hardcore themer or something...lol anyway...
firstly sorry for my lack of correct terminology...i only learnt how to use adb properly a few days ago and am very green when it comes to all this stuff.
i've managed to pull some pngs from com.htc.resource.apk which correspond to the main part of the sense/rosie interface (ie the buttons at the bottom of the home screen).
All i have been looking at doing is editing the colours of these pngs to add slight customisation..for now.
After editing i pushed com.htc.resource.apk back to my hero and hey presto it worked...nice new coloured interface (just the bottom of the homescreen, not everything like i've seen in some themers work and metamorph themes) but alas i came across a MASSIVE issue:
I lost the ability to sign into my google account and sync my contacts!!!!
I tried again and had the same issue...very strange i thought seen as i was only editing images...but i know computer systems can be temperamental...
so does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? possibly how i can fix this issue? it's been bugging me for at least 24 hrs and i'm sure there must be some easy fix. at first i thought it could be something to do with signing the files, but as far as i'm aware as i'm only playing with pngs no signing has to be done...correct me if i'm wrong.
I'm using villain rom 10.3 at the moment...if that makes a difference to whatever answers i'm hoping to get.
I've attached an image oh my status bar so far. i'm hoping to make a corresponding rosie/sense button thingy interface in the near future...
all help is GREATLY appreciated and i'm happy to share any "work" that i've done with anyone..so don't be shy.
Cheers

hey bro! i was playing around with the htc.com.resources.apk too! was trying to edit the lockscreen to a different style but too encounter the exact same problems as you faced!
apparently this guy, odin13 in his post
"clear sense lockscreen for Cronos 1.7.1"
managed to edit the htc.com.resources.apk without any facing any problems like us. im actually using his edited htc.com.resources.apk for clear lockscreen right now..

Cheers for the reply, bit of a flummoxing problem. I'll try an find odin and see if he can help!
Please anyone else feel free to help me here :-D

Hi guys,
Sorry for my late response but i just noticed the msg i got...
I'm really sorry but i really can't help you with this problem.
You should better ask it in the Villain forum since i'm no developer or some like that.
The boyz at Villain will definately be able to help you out with this or at least they can tell you what's going wrong.
The 'trick' with lockscreen is something i read once in a post ( can't remember which forum though ) so it's not even something i will take credit for.
Good luck bro and srry again for the late response!
hoi,
odin

Hey thanks for getting back to me man, greatly appreciated. Those boys at villain did solve it, i think it was a combination of pulsar & ultimately shen who sorted me out.
For stuff like the lockscreen and sense interface you need to create an update signed zip file and flash that way. no more loss of contacts which is great!
Happy days!

[Q] Bad textures

Hi guys.
I've noticed that practicaly every custom rom based on stock have problem with textures in topbar.
Yes, I know that 99% people don't see any problem, but I see them every time I take the phone in hands.
See this two screenshots.
Problems:
Background under career name (Image: public.egerev.me/1.png)
Background in the center of topbar (look at the location icon) (Image: public.egerev.me/2.png)
How to fix it?

it's not really a "problem" as all ROMS are based off of the stock ROM and so it's HTC's fault and therefore doesn't need fixing, nor do I know if this can even be changed.
Actually it can be fixed by someone who is good at themes but I'm not sure if anyone is going to put forth the effort.

But in official rom everything is ok. Problem appears only in ROM's with modded UI.

I see. Good luck finding a fix for that because I've no idea how to go about this.

Invite Bad Boyz Sprint ONE ROMz and Rage One developers to thread.
May be others too. But I've tested both ROM's and noticed this problem. (Couldn't reply in their threads because of restrictions)
