2.2 evdo help

so after updating to 2.2 i found out that there is only 1 set of bars up top now there was two and i believe the other was called evdo, does anyone know why its gone now ?

Nope they removed it for some reason... dunno why.... it was basicaly replaced by the new 3g icon....
I do miss the old CDMA AND EVDO(3g) graphs though as I get really crappy cdma reception here and it always looks like I have no bars when I have full 3g reception...

well, I'm sure you can always find a 1.6 dump and tear it down and get the bar icon for 3G and inject that into the first custom rom?

lol if I was only smart enough to do that

Someone here will get it. I've been working on learning more about android so we can get to the point of using our own custom roms, maybe even clockworkmod or our own recovery or boot selecter.

Widget
If i'm not mistaken i think there is a widget in the market place for evdo bars it might have been cdma i can remember something to check on though.
**Edit: signal status bar app in the market say its is a widget and will put it on the status bar as well...works for cdma evdo and gsm. paid and free versions available.

Yup I also want to start researching android and learn to code for the OS. I think that someone will definitely exploit the new froyo rom to create a custom rom.
We just need more devs and peeps to engage the stock roms.

[Q] Where the heck are the icons stored?!

I am trying to do some customizations. On my previous phones (Droid 1 and Droid 2), even with stock firmware, I was able to use ROM Toolbox Pro to replace the icons.
Well, on the Droid 4 it mostly doesn't work. I was able to replace the ugly ADB Debug icon with a better one, but I can't replace the signal, Wi-Fi, battery, etc - it reboots the phone and the old icons are still there.
I made a backup of the original icons, and the folders show: com.android.systemui/res/drawable-hdpi, and they have names such as stat_sys_signal_1.png
I extracted framework_res.apk and am literally unable to find these at all. They have a similar ones, but the icons in question are NOT there, I scrolled through all of them to check. None even named the same thing. I poked around in the rest of the system/framework folder, finding nothing of use.
Does anybody know where the heck these files are stored at on the stock firmware? I swear I've heard of a blur_res.apk before, but again I can't find where that might be. If I find them, I should be able to just inject the customized PNGs on my computer and overwrite the file on my phone...

Wow! I actually didn't know that there was an app that could change the phone's icons. That sucks that it doesn't work well on Droid 4. Just to clarify, are we talking about the icons in the notification bar? Like the battery power level, wifi indication, etc?
Well anyway, I'm not sure where the actual icon files are located. I've always used a flashable mod to change those icons, or gotten a custom ROM. But, if you want to know, I'd try and contact one of the Droid 4 developers on here, like Hashcode or myfishbear. Maybe shoot 'em a Private Message or something. They do a lot on here, but maybe you'll get a response out of them.
Sorry I can't be more help. Just wanted to give you a reply since nobody else is showing you any love. Good luck. Let me know what you come up with.

Yep! The app is called ROM Toolbox, there's also a Pro version (I think you might need the paid one to do icon changes)
I used it quite a bit when I had CyanogenMod on my Droid 2, as the default CM icons were ugly. I'll try PM'ing those guys and see if I'm able to figure anything out. Thanks.
And yes, I am talking about the notification bar. I call it the status bar, but same difference.

Cool! Maybe I'll give that app a try sometime. Thanks. Anyway, hope you find what you're looking for.

[Q] Is there a mod or way to completely get rid of the shortcuts bar?

I already have no apps linked there, because, well, I don't want to, but is there a way to just get rid of the lock button too? Because no I can swipe from the lock or the time, which is a bit redundant. Is there a mod to do this?

you can always flash ViperOne ROM which has MANY mods and tweaks

Well I've got ViperROM, the one for the sprint version. Can I get those tweaks on my version or only the viperONE version?

oh...i did not know that you have Sprint...
unfortunately Sprint's version is "a little bit" cut :angel:
You can always go to section THEMES AND APPS and try to find something but its gonna be hard to find...
PS get rid of sprint take t-mobile

I'll check there, thanks! And I don't get to change the entire family's plan, especially when I don't even pay for it directly.

[Q] JB 4.3.1 - edit RTSP / HTTP proxies

Just a quick question.
I just moved from an Evo 3D to a Sprint HTC One, and previously in GB and ICS, I had to nuke out the Sprint RTSP / HTTP proxies since they were godawful and I wanted better speed.
I can't seem to find where in JB the RTSP / HTTP proxy settings are. I'm not talking about for WiFi - I'm worried about GSM / CDMA / WCDMA / LTE. It's rooted, S-OFF'd, and SIM-unlocked, so I don't doubt that I can get to what I need to to get this done.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

I should clarify - I'm running an AOSP ROM and really don't want to have to go back to Sense, as PACman is too addictively good to lose.
For some reason, MSL Reader won't pull my MSL either; it claims that it's not a CDMA device, even though it's on CDMA only ATM and the LTE SIM is ejected.

Double-post. Sorry.

you cant modify this on AOSP, you need to make a backup of your rom, flash a sense rom, dial ##data#, enter edit mode, enter MSL (sprint should give it to you), and you will see an option somewhere in there to change those settings.....then simply restore your backup you made, the settings will stick....

[Q] Cant send unicode characters to iPhone?

Hi,
So I'm having a lot of trouble trying to configure a solution to this problem! When I text my girlfriend who is French, her iPhone can't receive accented characters, it instead replaces them with other characters. I presume this is a problem with the Unicode settings on my phone but can't find much information on this topic anywhere! I have a Samsung galaxy s i9000 international triband, baseband I900XXJVT running cm10.1.3 (android 4.2.2). I live in.new Zealand and I'm with 2degrees as my provider, have recently switched from skinny due to band issues. Any help would be much apprecjated ! Thanks!!

Hi There,
dont know if i can really help.
i'm also on 2degrees, were the messages working correctly on skinny?
have you tried texting the same message to another Iphone? or another phone?
and/or texed from another phone to her Iphone?

Yes, I have tried many different phones. I'm sure its not the network now, so more looking at trying to see how i can change the settings on my phone, but there seems to be nothing? Can it be that the version of ROM i'm running is the problem and I need to change ROM's?

If you have tried different phones i'd say the likelihood of it being a ROM issue drops through the floor.
Unless by complete coincidence all the other phones you used were running the same ROM (or had the exactly the same settings).
Also if everything worked on skinny that would make me lean toward it being a carrier issue.
I did a quick Google and came up with this article from Apple, sounds very similar to what you have.
*** I cant post a link yet
uummm ... go to apple, then support that search "SMS messages may display incorrectly on other devices"
the article should come up at the top of the list.
hope that helps.

Thanks for your help on this! I think you may be correct with the ROM theory, I will just have to change my rom and find out!

no problem,
its the small things that are the biggest the bum.
*oh (light bulb moment) have you tried sending a MMS instead of a text? or using whatsapp or similar?
could be a short term work around.
best of luck.

@nippynz it will work with Hangouts or Gmail, Yahoo etc.
It is BTW Apple's speciality to break purposely the compatibility between their products and Android or PC. Not even JPEG or MP3 file data transfer with Bluetooth will work between Android and iPhone. Apple sucks!
