Change T-Mobile Wifi Calling icon for Sensation 4G

This icon has bugged forever... and I finally took care of it...
I couldn't find this for Sensation 4G... so I took from Galaxy SII forum and with a little guidance from XDA member KaneHusky got it done
So if you are on T-Mobile, and rely on wifi calling like I do, and want an ICS syle icon that is always in upper left corner... this is for you
(I am running CM9 RC1)
Before:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After:
1. Use root explorer to copy wifi calling .apk from system\app to root of sd card
(In CM9 file is: HTC-PYRTM-ICS-4.0.1-2.3-49986-4.3.apk)
2. Mount to PC and use 7-Zip to explore .apk (dont extract or mess with anything, just explore)
3. Explore to the folder: res\drawable-hdpi\
4. make sure icons are saved and renamed accordingly:
blue: "ic_status_notify.png"
green: "status_icon_incall.png"
5. Right-click drag to Copy the two attached icon files into the folder (they will overwrite ugly ass icons)
6. Copy over original .apk in system\app (backup original to be safe)
reboot into recovery, wipe cache, (i also fixed permissions although I don't think it's necessary) then reboot and enjoy the cleaner look
Boom
UPDATE:
Sorry Everyone.... didn't realize the attached images are renamed when inserted into a thread...
which makes my whole post meaningless as they will only overwrite the proper icons if named the same.
the step by step above has been elaborated on to hopefully alleviate this issue.

Open the 'drawable-hdpi' folder in 7Zip so you can see all of the png files.
then right-click drag the new icons into that open folder and you should see this:

much thanks for all the help!

Updated APK
Hello,
Thanks first to Da_Sheezy for making this, I really like the new icons.
In the spirit of making things easier and the implied approval of Da_Sheezy, I am attaching the modified apk, so people don't have to do the whole 7zip thing.
In short, here are the steps:
1. Turn off Wifi in your phone, this is just a precaution.
2. Download the attached file.
3. Save it to root directory of SD card.
4. With Root Explorer, [/B]copy original apk (for backup purposes) anywhere in the SD card, but the root directory.[/B]
5. Now, copy the downloaded file to system/app, it will ask you if you want to replace the file, say yes. You phone will freeze for a couple of seconds and reboot automatically.
6. After rebooting, go back to system/app using Root Explorer and change permissions to rw-r--r--
7. Reboot your phone one more time and you are done.
I hope that this helps some people. I am currently running CM9 RC2 and it is working like a charm.
Thanks again to the OP for this.

[Tutorial][Tipo,Miro][CM10]Apply HDPI themes on MDPI phones

How to make HDPI CM10 themes work on CM10 Tipo and Miro
When you try to change the theme does it give you this message?

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you want to change that you will need:
-Root explorer (you will need to access system folders)
-Root
-Phone
1. Open your file manager
2. Go to /system and look for a file named build.prop
3. Open the the file in a text editor
4. Now search for the line ro.sf.lcd_density=160
5. Change 150 to 160
It should look like this:
6. Save and exit
7. Reboot
8. Apply your selected theme (I would recommend to reboot)
9. Open up again build.prop
10. Change 150 back to 160
11. Save, exit and reboot.

huge thanks!
thanks a lot, solved my problem.
but i have a question: do you need to change that value back to the original or it can stay at 150?

I'm using this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161111 and tried doing this with es explorer but i'm unable to save the file after editing.
can anyone help?

I knew how to do that in the older es explorer. Now that it has updated to 3.0 I don't know how to do that. I know how to delete system apps but I cant do the other things like this one and make apps system apps. Can you explain it to me?
thanks

the new version of es has a little different setting for that, you should look carefully! to convert user apps into system apps you can use titanium backup app. it has this feature.

Hello Everyone,
this is not my work, i just tried it on my phone and it does work!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/app-z3-keyboard-t2868406
if you have previous version of the keyboard installed, please make sure to delete app data from settings->apps->xperia keyboard after flashing (or manually installing) it.

It is, fast and pretty

It's a custom (and dumbed down) SwiftKey built using the SDK. Get the free SwiftKey instead.

Yeah, I know but why should I, if I've been using this for ages now and I like the look and the features? And honestly I don't want any more fancier features for a keyboard.

Can you explain step by step how you did it ?
And how did you get the android l statusbar icons?

Sure, for the icons I downloaded and installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/mod-gwbt-theme-g3-tweaksbox-themes-t2852754
you must have G3 Tweaksbox installed to use the theme.
To install the keyboard, downloaded the Zip file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/app-z3-keyboard-t2868406
Extract the lib and app folders. Using Root Explorer insert the contents of the lib folder into the /system/lib directory and changed the permissions to rw-r-r- to the file. Do the same for the contents of the app folder and also change the permissions to rw-r-r- to every file. Once completed reboot, it should say "updating" for 1 app. Once you are loaded up open the keyboard settings and download the language pack of your choice. Any questions let me know.

Does the Keyboard support other languages? (Arabic?)
and can we still change between the LG Keyboard and this one ?

Yes and yes

I wish to flash it too, but can you tell me do the keyboard has Japanese and Chinese built in, or language packs that can be downloaded? Thanks.

apk in /system/app ignored

Hello guys,
As the title said, i was once able to copy apk in /system/priv-app and got them installed after a reboot; too bad it looks like it doesn't work anymore. I tried also /system/app, but still nothing.
The Story Behind: Few ROM flashing ago, i decided to install the pixel launcher app. Downloaded and installed it, it works well out of the box, whit the exception of the swipe left gesture. Some googling revealed me that the launcher must be installed as a system app for make the swipe work, and here start my struggle: i can't remember what i did (did i cut the /data/app/com.android.nexuslauncher-1 folder and pasted it in /system/app/? Or did i download the apk again and moved it in /system/app?) but anyhow it started work flawless at the next reboot (also the swipe function!) . I have tried booth and countless other path and reboot, but there's no way to see it installed. I can of course install it whit the default android package installer.
More info: Honor NOTE 8, rooted, build B320, android 7.0, emui 5.0

I believe the apk must be inside a folder (like all the others)
Name that folder "nexuslauncher".
Then rename the apk file to " base.apk"
Finally, move the apk file into the nexus launcher folder, then give it the proper permissions and reboot.

Hello, thanks for the reply.
I just tried doing as you said, but still nothing. I forget to mention that if I install it manually, it get uninstalled at reboot. As attachment a couple of screenshot: the first taken when the app is installed, before the reboot, the second one taken after the reboot: the whole "installation information" tab is missing after reboot ?

Install it using the package installer, then use titanium backup to move it to the system.

Not even titanium backup worked.
This is by far the strangest thing I've ever witnessed.
For records, TB "convert to system app" feature took the Pixel launcher's app folder in /data/app, packed it as com.google.android.nexuslauncher.apk and placed it in /system/app/.
Still, it keep getting ignored on reboot.
As attachment a screenshot pre &post reboot. I do also try to remove all orphan data about PL, and deep searched the whole volume looking for PL residual, deleting anything.
I tried also flashing it with openGapps, with the same result. (Google camera, installed with the same openGapps installer, is up and working).
Now, I can totally live without PL, but I'm really curious about what's happening

A late update: in case someone at some point get through this post.
The launcher work fine (swipe right included) if I unroot the device after placing it in the app folder: still don't know why ?

place apk file in /system/app folder and install that apk file then reboot your android.

Just tried, no luck with the working apk placed in /system/app and than installed from that path. I tried also to maintain the folders structure /system/app/com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher-1 and install from that path, still without luck: in both cases the app is gone after the reboot.
Thanks for your interest.

Ok, it's done for good.
I cleaned the /data/app folder from all the launcher installation: there were something like 5 launcher folders. Placed the APK in /system/priv-app/Nexuslauncher and installed with the "root package installer" of FX explorer instead of the standard package installer. Don't know why, and I got the filing that I already have done this a couple of thousands time,but this time it worked.

[iOS 10] Ringtone and Notification sounds

Hey Guys,
if someone wants the iOS10 default ringtone and some nice notification/alarm sounds of it, I made 2 zips I extracted from Alexis ROM (Galaxy S6) a few years ago.
If you want the default ringtone, just download iOS10 ringtones.zip below and extract the folder with root explorer in
Code:
/system/media/audio/ringtones
and give the ringtone permission 0644 (rw-r-r). Reboot phone and enjoy.
Same for notifications: download zip, and extract it to
Code:
/system/media/audio/notifications
and give all notifications 0644 (rw-r-r) permisision also. Reboot once again.
If this was helpful for you, I would be happy if you hit THANKS :good:

Sure do. Tried 2 different file managers but no joy. No worries though, I was able to select and use the notifications i wanted by applying from the relevant apks directly. So all good.

Unzip the files and save them in a file folder that you have in the root of the memory, I have saved it in my Zedge folder, then when configuring the sound you choose storage tone and there you have them, I am not root said on the way

You have to extract the files inside the specific folders and then change the permissions for it.

Check Magisk if your filemanagers have superuser rights.
I got no problems at all. Downloaded the files, extracted in download folder en copied the files into the right folders.

No difference bro.

Than do it in TWRP or Mount System R/W common logic.

You guys do realise that you can literally extract the zip to your Ringtones folder (/sdcard/Ringtones) on your phone and then you can use them straight away, no root or Magisk needed, right?
Just tried it, works like a charm!

Not just mp3, any sound file like aac, or OGG which is in these zips!

The path for the ui sound is actually /system/product/audio/ringtones
On android 10

On the ringtone part I experience a gap after every ring.
