Hello everybody ...
Cud someone please give me a stepwise breakdown on if/how I could get gtalk to have a black theme
(or give me a link to a black gtalk apk that I could use to replace the stock one ) ?
I did search before posting this thread.. and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821214
but that OP's just stating tht the gtalk app inside another ROM is black in color.
I'm sure this has been asked / done before, and if it has, please don't hammer me...
It's just that I am new to android, and some of the google results i got for 'black gtalk app' said some scary sounding things like deodexed (?)
And - I haven't rooted my Nexus S yet (yes, i know.. i'm a bit scared still.. )
Help please?
All you had to do is go to the second page.

(Unsure if it works on Gingerbread)
And you'll most likely need Root for this to work since google talk is a .apk within /system/app/
/system/app/ cannot be modified unless you're rooted.
Rooting is relatively simple on Nexus S, don't be scared

Uh-ohhh...you wouldn't believe the silly sheepish smile i have on my face now
woops...sorry for noticing that! :$
Since I will probably have to root my phone for this ... i'll wait to get one of my friends with more divine android skills to sit with me thru it
(don't ask -- years of "trying" to jailbreak iPhones has built up this weird phobia of hacking, and has put fears like: "oh noes! what if it goes wrong?" in my head)
I'll come around though, i hope
and thanks again, Zephik ...

Haha okay. But if you don't want to wait for your "friend" to do it for you, here's a guide here to get you started towards rooting.

It's relatively simple
Yes- thanx again! I've read through those a few times and all the positive responses from 'first timers' have been tempting me a lot.
I'm actually waiting for the phone to launch officially in Dubai (rumored to happen in the week after next), and then I think I'll become a bit more brave to fiddle with it..
but if i muster enough courage before that, I'll definitely follow that guide ..
(psst: please be on standby with some emergency XDA paramedics, in case you hear me yelping, after a not so successful rooting attempt )

You have any idea if it's going to be a I9020 or I9023? There's reports of I9023 rooting of not completely working. Something about cache partition, I'm sure it'll get fixed.

I'm inclined to think it'll be the Super Clear LCD one .. because the Dubai/UAE market seems to be like a Singapore-market follower .. and the SLCD version has just been announced there..
The SAMOLED is partly why I'm happy that I went through some bit of trouble (and a LOT of worrying) to get my NexS delivered safely from Austin..
But boy am I in love with it!
I dont think anyone's been able to pry it out of my hands since it landed (touchwood)
And, like you said... I'm sure the i9023 would get rooted soon enough by folks here
[maybe Google could just officially link to the XDA as their main 'user support forum' .. ]
I was able to push the gtalk and the google voice to the Nexus S. I have it installed on the nightly cm7 #26. The google voice is working but the gtalk is failing to connect to the server.
i was able to install but it hangs on a black screen where my contacts should be but nothing displays. theres also the refresh circle in the top right that keeps going. then if i selct anything via menu button push and go back it force closes on me.
Can someone tell me why is it marked as SOLVED when it does not work on the nexus S? I want this feature badly, if anyone has any idea pls share.

I totally agree but there is a solution now for sure. DARKGINGER NEW 4/5/11 DarkGapps4511.zip this is just gapps for the people not using the nightlies. These work on any HDPI phone running Gingerbread! THIS HAS WORKING DARK GTALK.

Sorry, didn't see the point when he has his own thread.
I know deleting that particular file is to enable software rendering.. or disabling. one of those. Suppose to help mainly with gaming. But my main question, if any one knows, is that if you delete from the system does it have any other benefits or even negativves to other partsof the rom?
Hope to hear from you guys
I asked that same??? To a dev and he didn't know either. I say Google or just make a nand and delete it and give it a spin for a few days
Yea its me again. With the

Quadrant gets slower (3 FPS!!!) but it actually works properly. Might also get rid of the pmem bug. Shouldn't hurt anything.

cool , so perhaps you wanna try my theme , check it out in the themes and apps section , the longest title thread ever this will be mine
Yeah I bought that app too and later found it useless for me. All it does is basically periodically turn things off. I generally uninstall things I don't use every day or every other day. It reduces bloat, helps boot/reboot/shutdown speeds, and gives the system more free resources to use if it needs them. No use having stuff run that you don't use often or at all.
Hi All,
My wife recieved her HTC One this morning from EE. Because shes happy with her iPhone 5 she gave it to me. So i have 2! lol
Now ive been comparing these devices to decide on which one ill keep. Decided to keep my own one, because its factory unlocked and a better build quality, (The EE one isnt bad, just slightly more gappy than mine) however, i have a question regarding NFC.
When both enabled, they do work on both devices, however the NFC symbol only appears on the EE device, is there a reason for this? Just confused to as why my Sim free version dont display this.
Can anyone answer this? Not a problem to me just baffled!
Thanks in advance.

There's a symbol? I didn't know there was one lol.

Yes there is, but like i said, only on the EE version. . . Bit confusing.

The reason is that HTC disabled this icon following the first firmware upgrade. When the EE device gets updated... it will disappear. Even sooner if you flash a custom ROM.

Got ya, thanks dude for the Quick reply. Its a shame, it could be quite a useful icon to have. Especially if you forget the NFC is on. . .
Yeah I have seen thisvery thing between different stock builds of various ROMs.
What it is, is a line in build.prop that determins whether the icon is shown or not. Certain people (myself included) think that there is no need to show it. You do not need reminding it's on as it uses such little power. Set it and forget it.
ro.nfc.icon.enable=false
Awesome. I thought it used up a little bit of power, but now i know. I shall just leave on. . . Thanks guys!

Cheers mate, happy to help... On Global, mate.. stock nubia, NX629J_V1S_ENCommon_V2.14
Only use stock (and super old) Nubia rom for the sake of RedMagicTime for PUBG clips. And since PUBGM update 1.2 (now PUBGM on 1.3 version) RedMagicTime stop working properly.. well, RedMagicTime still working if we change phone and PUBGM language to traditional Chinese, it's annoying, but clearly better than nothing...
I know right from the get-go this phone is too good to be true.. cheap as hell, with the top tier hardware on papers (at that time) with interesting features (RedMagicTime).
I know there's a price we'll have to pay, just don't know that price is no updates (almost) at all for this phone... Just like my nickname, nubia development team is sucks, they abandoned the customers, move on to next projects and don't care at all for after sales.. sorry for long non sense rants
