Here is the zip that fixes the visual signal fix on Cyanogen (and all AOSP roms for that matter). However, don't flash this if you're running an theme on top of froyo. It wont hurt your phone, but it wont help any A big thanks to Kyouko for the fix!
Having trouble applying this with the newest CM 6.0.0 Stable? Take a look here for some help to get it working. Thanks to dirkydirk23 for these tips!
Download metamorph (free) from the market
Download the zip attached to this post
Unzip the visual fix file onto your sd card. It doesn't matter where on your sd card, just somwhere where you can find it.
Open metamorph, and allow it to run checks. Sometimes on the first time you open it, it claims that something is wrong on your phone and will close. If this happens, just reopen the aplication again and allow it to run checks. It will work the second time.
Click on "apply existing theme" on metamorph.
Navigate to the extracted file of the visual fix on your sd card.
Click on it, and then select the .XML file
Allow metamorph to flash the .XML and rebbot your phone. When it boots up again, the signal bars will be fixed!
Post if you have any questions or would like to express thanks

hey, lemme ask you, is there an issue with it showing inaccurate bars? or is this giving us more visual bars as others have complained about only having 4?
also you spelled cyanogen wrong haha

This gives you more visual bars. On the default rom without this fix, the max amount of bars that will show up, even if you have amazing signal, is 3. With this fix, you get a more accurate reading; If you have great signal, you'll have the full 4 bars, not only 3. And if you have ok signal, you'll have 2 bars, not only one. And I fixed the spelling thanks

I put it on my phone then did what you said. Now I have got 4 bars! Then I was talking with my friend who has a droid, found out he had 4 bars all along. I was mad.

Why were you mad? This fix is for the hero, and it worked because you have a full 4 bars now. The droid has always had the full 4 bars, but AOSP on the hero never has. Now with the fix, it does

Yeah I wish that would get fixed!
BTW, if I download and extract the .png files from this fix, can I just add them to the Framework-res.apk in my theme? Will that do the same thing once I flash the theme?

Yes it will if I'm understanding the question correctly... you're making a theme and changing out the default PNG images and replacing them with these? If that's the case then when you flash the new theme it definitely should work, but if it doesn't you can always just metamorph this file and make it work

No this is for everything AOSP, and it shouldn't have changed your wallpaper. How may signal bars do you usually get wherever you are now? You should see one more than that, as that is what this visual fix does.
I was plesently surprised to find out I don't have to repeat this step when I flash the nightlies, like I do with the voicemail apk

Correct, and that's because the nightlies shouldn't override the framework.apk
Nothing pains me more than the lag in the stock ICS messaging app when you hit send. The stupid animation doesn't look fluid, and it doesn't initiate at the right time.
I've been searching all over for an AOSP messaging app that will work with our leak, and I've found one that actually installs into /system/ but whenever you open a conversation it FC's.
I found it in the Galaxy s II app forum. Anyone know what we can do to get it up and running on our ROM? I've tried this on odexed and deodexed systems by the way.
Feel free to post your experience if you try to use it!
On a side note, I also tried the app that's in the market with ads, and it FC's the same way as well.

Any way I could get GB MMS/SMS app on ICS? I liked that it was black, not white, and obvious the forceclose issue (for me at least)
Would like the AOSP version but would be happy with the old GB version too.
How are people theming the stock TW mms.apk? I keep trying to decompiling, even with dependencies, and it's giving me a bad magic value error and won't decompile. Trying to compare the SR mms.apk to the AOSP one to see if I can make some edits to prevent the FC.

ahaha do you guys wanna know why? because samsung has changed "hex" code in their files meaning anytime when you decompile you'll get "bad magic value" lol. way around that is download apktool 2.0.0 then use 7zip manager and extract the classes.hex and then decompile with apktool not apk manager. and you're good. thank me if it helped which i know it will
Really hope that gets it working, looking forward to it!

For those decompiling system apps, you need to update adapt.bat with the latest copy from the android sdk and add the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk resources to your apktool framework.
Copy the two apk files to your apktool folder. Then run 'apktool if framework-res.apk' and then 'apktool if twframework-res.apk' from a command line. You should be able to decompile after that.
If you're using APK Manager, your apktool script and aapt.bat is located in the apk_manager/other folder.
I've been able to decompile without problems. It's compiling that is giving me problems right now.

Well, shoot, I guess I'll eat my words... Maybe I just don't understand enough about this phone yet, but that zip only installs a touchpad.cfg file in the /system/etc/touchpad/22 folder.. which we do not have (at least I don't... does SonyaV4 have that file?).. And, if you read through that thread, people have just replaced their own .cfg files through root explorer instead of flashing the zip. So, again.. I don't get it. (did you do the same test before flashing that zip? - just checking, does the A2 even have the raindrop protection? And, why is this even a feature, who uses their phones in the rain anyway??)

Well I don't know what you guys did, but I tested that zip file as well, using Dotty and Mutitouch Vis Test before and after, and it did nothing for me. Still bugs out and doesn't register both fingers after 30 seconds or so until I tap a bunch of times, then it comes back to normal, then bugs out again in another 30 seconds. I double checked, and it definitely installed the new config file in /system/etc.. but no change. I'm deleting the new folders...
EDIT: Also, it definitely doesn't register 5 fingers, as the mod apparently is also supposed to do.. and read this from the mod developer (it's kinda what i said earlier):http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22076100&postcount=49

Hey everyone
Halo is a new, awesome feature. Though it's by pa team, many other roms will surely include it in future. I am creating this thread so that the pa thread or the pac thread or any other rom that has halo doesn't get cluttered with questions on halo. So, post all your queries about halo in this thread and post only the bugs of the rom in the rom thread..

Whenever I open something from halo, whatever I open gets put on top of the home screen, rather than the app I was using. Is this a bug with kexec pac man, or is anyone else having this problem?

These themes won't brick my phone if I flash it right.. They look pretty cool but I don't want to end up in a boot loop

You guys could simply extract the halo_bg.png file from the zip and then drag and drop it to SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi.If you want you may resize this png file to suit your style.
Then place the SystemUI.apk in system/app with proper permission and reboot.
I've been using it this way..

Ok I've made a sample flashable zip to change the theme of HALO
All you've to do is replace the png files from the theme zip in SystemUI.apk with the desired ones and then place the modified SystemUI.apk in the sample.zip and flash it.No wipes needed.
It also might be a good idea to place the original SystemUI.apk in the zip and store it by the name Revert HALO so that if you ever wanna go back just flash the zip.
I've zipped up the png files according to the name.Just open the SystemUI.apk using 7-zip goto res/drawable-hdpi or res/drawabale-nodpi(as the case maybe,see where the png files are originally) and drag and drop you choice of png files in there.Then place the SystemUI.apk in sample.zip and flash it.

This has zero relevance to anything, but I love your signature. Just saying.
Oh yeah, and halo is cool.

Lol thanks man.BTW which one???(there are three )
And yeah halo is pretty cool as of now but I think it has still a long way to go to reach its true potential.
Say for instance the halo ring sits there as is it can be used to show the battery status in form of ring.This would come in handy to gamers and streamers as they'll have easy battery info without having to even move a finger while doing what they are doing.
Even this theme customization which is manual ATM should be integrated.There should be an option to set the amount of memory allotted to the background app and the front end app.Ahh there are just so many ideas.Hope someone takes a hint(@PA team).

Well, the top mass acceleration 1, but mostly the multiple show mores!
I totally agree. hopefully as other roms adopt it, more development will get done. I really like the idea of a central feature that everyone can base off the same source. Like, PA made this, but if all the CM, AOKP, and other people work with it, but don't totally keep it to themselves, it can be kind of something all the roms have.
