With 1.83, the default background for apps was black, but with 2.3.4, they seem to have changed it to white or light grey.
Is there any way to get the default background color back to the way it was in 1.83?

Why are you guys acting like asses? All I did was ask a simple question.
Sorry. Not trying to be an ass. Your guess is as good as ours unless ive overlooked something too. Will probably have to wait for cyan7 release to get it sorted out. Lmao. You got admit it is pretty funny though because there isnt a good answer. Yet.

Thanks for the advice - on both counts.
why would you ever want it to be black? You can't see it in the sun. White is better to see it in the sun.

You are on Orange UK i resume? If so, you need to restore to the old radio, as Orange UK seem to be a nuisance with this
Grab the second most recent radio from http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=323 and flash it as normal

Nice. Just be sure to make sure it's unrooted and running the old Orange ROM first
yeah, i'll play around with the stock rom for a few hours.
then ill root it and try the new cronos rom and the newest villain rom.
eventually i am going to make my own, simple, non sense rom.

BTW, there will be a new version of SuperHero coming out soon (http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=43 for info on the old version), which is basically a non-Sense ROM, but with a couple of the best sense features added )

OMFG i just realised you are pulser. GENIUS. love your work. ermmm, i am considering donating. ill do it next week when i get my moneys. sounds good, i'll try that too, I have always stuck by villainrom, tried some others, but always come back to it.

I don't.. understand why it's such a huge deal? Use a custom launcher?
I'm tired of dealing with themes and roms.... each has it's pros and cons, but what I really want is a way to just get rid of the AT&T sign in the top left corner of the screen on my Atrix!
Is there any way to get rid of it on either a rooted stock Atrix, or a de-odexed system?
(I'm assuming a de-odexed system would be easier for developers, but I really have no clue.)

I used Gingerblur for a while, but there were a few things I REALLY hated it.
First, I really like the stock alarm clock, second I noticed a battery drain because of it.
So I got rid of Gingerblur...
You have to edit the framework-res.apk. If I have some time tonight I might be able to do it for you.

I'd really appreciate the help! I wouldn't even know where to start if I were doing this myself...
I did not have enough time tonight (finals). But Ill do it tomorrow evening.
No worries.... just finished mine
That would make me really happy too! If this could also remove the AT&T microcell logo from when I'm at home too, it would be amazing. With that, wifi, and vibrate all together it gives room for all of one more notification.

Here this is a .zip you can flash from CWM. It will also deodex your system if you have not done that. if you want I can create one that just pushes the framework-res.apk and does not touch anything else but since I wasnt sure what you were running I did this. Also it should only be used on 1.8.3 and on att atrix.

hi guys
couple of questions:
i have a XEUK firmware on 2.3.4 at the moment, unbranded, unlocked and rooted and phone notified me that there's an upgrade available:
- will the upgrade work via wireless from the about menu straight away or i need to go via kies?
- apps, contacts, photos and videos are gonna be deleted?
- root, will that stay or i will have to do it again?
- camera, is the white balance improved when using flash with ICS? right now colors act up with the flash, thats a known bug..
that being said, my phone runs great so i am wondering if is worth or not to upgrade, i dont care of having the very very latest release...
for who will answer these few questions, thanks in advance!
Gabrio
1. I believe you do need Kies, I wasn't able to update my phone without it.
2. No, however I strongly recommend you to backup the phone, just in case.
3. You will have to root again.
4. Not sure about this one, sorry.
Honestly, I was extremely disappointed after update because, although everything worked just fine, the phone became a little laggy and I wasn't able to change screen DPI (I bricked my phone twice as well).

No you didnt, unless you fixed it via JTAG.
Screwing up while flashing resulting in rom not booting isnt "bricking" unless you cant enter download mode or recovery.

Thank you. I wish people would stop throwing around the term "brick" so loosely.
Okay, I got a bootloop twice. The point is, it hasn't been very stable for me lately.
That too... Stable means the thing runs without any issues and Ics do run without issues, you fiddled with it than say thing is not stable is also wrong.

Omg. Why don't u all kill him while your at it.
yay "bricked" is a wrong description and ics runs without issues.
a correction to "semibricked" would have been enough and ics isn't that great yet. Bit sluggish and very poor battery, even on cm9-aokp-aosp and cn,but the Devs is working hard to solve these "issues".

bootloop = not bricked
formated system partition = not bricked
kernel issues with boot loops = not bricked
so on
Thanks for answers everyone... At this point im not sure i will upgrade now.. I was really curious if they fixed the camer with flash white balance problem...
Anyone on ics up for a test? Just take a pic indoors with flash possibly in the evening or a bit of dark area..not pitch black of course, do colors look strange?.. As of now white balance looks really funny. With a quick photoshop fix looks good.. Agreed is just a phone but doesnt seem as so hard to fix..

so if you use flash be as close as possible, if you use flash in low light situation from little far it will comeout blue tint....

Kill him?, stop over-reacting child. Simply correcting his misconception. Also yours.
There is no such thing as "semibricked", Its either bricked or it isnt, simple as that. Screwing up your flash which results in rom not booting as normal is not "bricked" or "semibricked". Its only bricked when it wont boot into rom, download or recovery and only option is hardware recovery like for example when you wipe/corrupt your bootloader.
i forgot to ask one thing... how is the battery with ICS? at the moment my phone does 1 full day with heavy usage and 2 days with moderate/medium usage...

im currently running resurrection remix on my 5x and like many other roms it force enables the horrible round icons. i have tried to edit framework-res.apk a few times but have not been successful. every time i switch the apk's i end up in a bootloop. im sure its the recompiling part thats messing me up.
so, does anyone know of an easy way to disable the damned icons? i know i can use an icon pack but none look good in anyway to me and i just want to use the stock icons. i heard somewhere that just opening framework-res.apk with 7zip and replacing the bools.xml will work without all the other stuff.
i want to try this but i want to make sure before i go risking another bootloop issue since its early in the week to fix my phone. any help is appreciated!
It's up to RR team right now, all you can do is slap a custom launcher and an icon pack

You can simply take a nandroid backup before trying that method. So if something goes crazy, you can restore.

Just wanted to drop in. Oneplus One, same exact issue. I can go disable this iWare (iPhones enforce the same shape for all icons) on every single rom by modding framework-res, with the exception of RR which bootloops. It's a shame, I'd love to use RR, but those round icons are atrocious and no icon pack will satisfy me (even though I like icon packs), because it's just a fix over made up issue, instead of treating the root cause (useroundicons=true).
I really hope that RR devs figure out a way for us to NOT use their **** round icons like every other rom.

THANK YOU!!!!!! so this is mainly an RR issue? weird! i have only tried the mod on RR and gave up on trying it on Cypher-OS because i didnt want to deal with the bootloop.
i too feel that these damned round icons should not be shoved down our throats. it should be optional but on N its not. O seems to have implemented differently but that is far away and for now i have to deal with these damned icons.
im going to the Cypher g+ in the hopes that i get some help with this. i hope RR changes their implementation. thanks for the help Lirannl!!

It's up to them to determine if they'll use round icons or not, but I hope they bring the option while flashing to choose between Normal and pixel icons

Let's wait for Android O. Google added an option to choose what the shape of the icons will be. Circle, square, squircle, and the Allo shape icon.
