pick the color you want for example RS_Bar_blue.png and RS_Ind_blue.png and rename them to RS_Bar.png and RS_Ind.png then copy to \windows folder and allow to overwrite the original ones, I included in the zip file the original color just in case you want to go back to it.

Man, great work Poorlyduck, let me just give this thread a bump. I used the yellow random access along with the other yellow cube and htc home icons you provided, my mogul looks real nice! Thanks!

Poorlyduck,
Excellent tool. Hopefully will be appended to a ROM or 2 somewhere, with your permission.
Thanks for the excellent work.
WB

thank you guys for all comments.
@wacky.banana you definitly have my permission to use them anywhere you want, enjoy!

BEAUTIFUL!!
Among all HTC's shipped softwares, random access might be the most practical one. However, it's black-grey bar just doesn't see eye to eye to roms with non-htc-black&grey-interface. Your work just make everything perfect! thank you a lot!!

the green is poppin!

THANKS

gr. access is denied?

The Color Is .. Wow... What Can I Say~~~~~
THANK YOU

Access denied
I also get the access denied message, so probably the files are open.
However, besides Active Sync (which I cannot kill for some reason) there's nothing running. How can I overwrite the files?

you cant overwrite the file from the pc to your device if its protected, so you need to move it to storage card or somewhere beside windows folder, and use your device to move the file to windows folder.

I cannot get these to work at all. The files on my device are read-only and I cannot replace them from my PC or when I put the files on my storage card and try to copy them into the Windows folder. It gives me an error about memory and making sure the files aren't read-only or in use. Any ideas?

first make sure contacts (random access) is closed, leaving the app running will prevent you from changing the images. Then using resco explorer (or any other 3rd party file explorer) copy the files from teh storage card to the random access folder (typically this will be the \windows folder). If prompt with a warnign about overwriting ROM files, go ahead and ok the prompt.

That didn't work for me. I downloaded Resco File Explorer and copied the files from my storage card to the windows folder, overwrote the files and nothing changed.

I've had the same problem - tried the storage card, tried Rescoe - what else can I try?

welcome to my world! I can't seem to get random access working on my touch either....says it doesn't have perms to install....aggravating...

HELP!! Is there a way to DELETE files under 'windows' folder?

Thanks in advance!
I was trying to delete some wav file in windows folder. Because, these files exist in the list when I select the notification sound for reminder!

I searched the registry, device and the sd card. I found they are in the 'windows' folder...
But I cannot delete them...
I am using the Energy rom... I do not think it does exist in the rom before... Acturally, it appears after I installed some software....
Does anyone have a way to delete them? Thanks...

im using resco explorer which allows me to delete such files, im not familiar with total commander but there may be something in the settings which will allow you to delete those files....
you could download the free trial of resco and try that way....
hope that helps....

Thanks mate... I have Resco as well...it shows me
Any suggestion? I am pretty sure the ENERGY team did not put these useless wav file with meaningless name under windows folder... It s my fault... I install some software...but I cannot remember which one...

yeah I was wrong I cant delete them either...
it must be to do with the rom though....
il look into this when I get home and let you know if I get to the bottom of it....

Hey
i had a similar issue when trying to free up some space on my old tytn2
the files were ringtones (.wma) but in theory this should work with most files
give this a go: copy the offending file to any other folder (my docs, sd card...)
uncheck 'read only' in file property
copy back to windows folder - overwrite when asked/ warned
then you should be able to delete from windows folder.
(backup 1st, just in case)
hope this helps

Cheers man but that didnt work for me Im afraid.......
I listened to the files and they seem to be sound files for some sort of gps / navigation program.... Ive never installed any such program and as resco says they're in the rom memory it must be something to do with the energy rom........
Cant think of any way to delete them, They dont realy occupy much space its just a pain that they appear in the notification sounds menu......
Oh well...... Im stumped....

if im not mistaken even if you do delete them they will get restored when you soft reset.
anyways rename the files instead of deleting them, soft reset and then delete the renamed files however as i said i think you will just have a fresh copy.

Thanks for the explanation! I tried to play them... Yeah...it is the navigation... I installed tomtom. I though it was tomtom before...
Thanks again... Do you have any idea about how to hide them from the alert selection menu???

I'm having this same problem. I don't want to delete the files, I just don't want them showing up in the drop down menu in Sounds & Notifications. Can't they just be moved to the Sound folder in App Data in the phone memory?

Photosphere feature in 4.2

So I was playing with Photosphere on my Nexus S, and a thought came in.
Samsung, or any other OEM's that make Android Camera, should work hard to bring 4.2 update to their Android Cameras.
Photosphere would be a standout/luring feature to promote their Android Cameras which are somewhat a new kind of product.
While Photosphere is still in beta and doesn't stitch very well, I think people still would like to try it out since it is something new and exciting.

Samsung, Nikon, you heard?
Hurry up before someone does it first.

Hi Robb
I followed your instructions and was able to download the App + Lib onto my PC and extracted the WinRar files.
I've copied them to my Galaxy Camera's Ext SD card and can copy them to the system directories.
But I'm not sure how to change permissions on the files.
Can you please explain how to do this? I'm a noob to Android.
Thanks.

I use photo sphere too on my galaxy camera and work fine.
So for your problem, you need to change right of the file like say on the link provide.
For doing that, you need a file explorer with admin right.
I use ES file explorer.
Once you install this file explorer, you need first to allow him to access to root, for that go to : Settings
Then on the boot you will found : Root settings
Enable everything there.
Then after enable the first one, you get a pop up inform you to agree to give right on Super SU. Do Yes and after agree to give right.
When done, go to your folder app and lib where you copy the file, found the file one by one and made a long push on the file for show a menu and choice option on bottom "Properties" that open a new windows.
There click on "change" button and enable everything in "Read" column and on user for "write" column then click "ok" and again "ok".
Do that for all files (5 if I remember well) and reboot the Camera.
You will got 2 new icon for camera and galery
Hope I'm clear ^^

I've downloaded ES File Explorer and am having difficulty copying the files to the system/app directory.
First I connect the SGC to my PC and after the files are extracted with WinRar I copied them to the Download folder on the Camera.
Then using ES File Explorer I navigate to the Download folder and tried to copy/paste the files to the System/app directory but it gave the message that copy "GoogleGallery.apk" failed? The Gmscore.apk was copied OK.
What am I doing wrong?
I'll recheck the Root settings but I think I did that right as I can access the Root directory in ES File Manager now.
BTW, could it be because my SGC is not Rooted?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes I think you need root your device for get right to change file in system/app folder or even right of file.
So first root your device, very easy for the moment due of Eqynox issue, uberNoobZA and cybriks on the forum confirm he can root with the tools from Chainfire.
You can read the full topic about root Galaxy Camera here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995245
Or go to page 5 firectly if you want use the method from Chainfire where uberNoobZA and cybriks confirm it work
The link about how to use the Chainfire tools :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297
This method should be the easy way compare to the one use Odin, so you should be able to use it, it's only an app you run and do eveything alone
So do it and then try again to copy file and change right and you probably can use Photo Sphere (I like this function ^__^)

Help Flashing Music Player Please

Ok so I just rooted my phone and uninstalled the android music player. I then flashed an older version of the stock android music player which I really like, but the app isn't showing up on my phone. I did the same thing on my old S2 and it worked fine, so I'm not sure what's up.
I've attached the music player zip if that helps. Maybe it's incompatible with an S5?
Also, does anyone know where to get other older versions of the stock android music player?

Did you try to install the music player as a system app......
That is probably the only method that will work......
If you are rooted, you need a root enabled file explorer like ES file explorer or Root Explorer.
You copy your music player app and paste it into.....
system>>app (you have to have RW permissions enabled in the file explorer app)
Then you change the permissions for the music player to rw- r-- r-- and reboot.....
It *should* be 'job done'.......
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg

Hi... thanks for your help. I got Root Explorer and copied the zip file into the app folder, then flashed the zip again, but it didn't work. Am I supposed to transfer the zip file or the apk file to that folder?
Also, in the application manager there's something called "multimedia UI service layer", which has the same icon as the stock music player. Should I uninstall this too? Would I need to remove any trace of the stock player to get this one to work?

No....this app cannot be installed in the usual manner (with a package installer) it has to be unzipped to its apk format, then copied/pasted into that folder and it's permissions changed (as described above).....
As for any other apps that *look* like the app you are trying to install (Unless they are called exactly the same thing) it's probably best to leave them alone.
Just remember, you *must* reboot the device in order for the copy/paste/permission change to take effect.....
Edit.....just re read your original post.....
Not sure if it'll work anyway......
Most system apps are framework dependent.....
Meaning that if your preferred music player was built for an older version of Android, it *may not* work if installed into a newer version.....
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg

I put the apk file in the app folder and it's showing up in my phone now! Problem is, whenever I start it I get the message "unfortunately music player has stopped". I think I may have messed something up when I uninstalled the stock player because I re-flashed it as well before and got the same message. I think maybe I'll have to do a factory reset, which is ok cause I just got the phone.

I doubt factory resetting will help much in this case.....If you've changed stuff in the system folder, it won't delete what you did and reset things, it'll just perform the reset on what is currently installed....
What you changed will still be there.
Did you change the permissions of the app correctly?
Did you reboot afterwards?
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg

Uh oh that sucks. I have the read and write permissions checked, and execute is unchecked. I tried installing it from the app folder and it gives me the message "app not installed".

No fella......you don't install the app at all....
You.....
1) copy/paste the app into the [system>>app] folder.
2) long press on the app until a dialog box opens.
3) select permissions from that dialog box.
4) change app permissions to......
rw- r-- r--
5) Reboot the device.
Job done

and you need to set the permission 'check' marks to the same configuration as in the picture.
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg

Yes that's what I did initially, and those are the permissions I have. I thought that after it didn't work that trying to install it might, but it didn't. I think uninstalling the stock player screwed something up.

Or it could simply be that the version of music player is incompatible with the version of Android you have.....
Where to go from here?......
3 options......
1) download your firmware, extract the music player and install it like you've been trying to do with your preferred version....
2) flash the entire firmware again.
3) try a 3rd party music player
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg

I ended up re-flashing the stock rom and everything is back to normal. Can't get the old music player to work but oh well. Thanks for your help!

It's obvious that if you place the file in Ringtones folder(I hope it's internal) media storage for Sound&Notifications automatically get updated. But if you don't see then reboot the device. Still if you dnt see then in the file explorer(wherever you just pasted) press and hold the song and in menu(options) selects 'Set as' or 'Use as' ringtone

If you want to set custom Ringtone in Moto G5 Plus without any third party apps, Then here is a simple method to set Ringtone in Moto G5 Plus. Moto G5 Plus and Moto G5 run on Android 7.1.1. The UI on both devices are identical. So you can also set custom ringtone in Moto G5 using this method.
1. First, download or save the Ringtone you want to set to your Moto G5 Plus. It is fine if you have the music file on microSD card.
2. Now open the file manager.
3. Find the folder where the ringtone is saved(you can also find it under Audios section).
4. Copy the file by long pressing the file and then tap on copy button(overlapping square box button left to three vertical dots.) which is at the top.
5. Now go to the folder Local->Internal storage->Ringtones.
6. Paste your Ringtone here.
7. Now go to Settings->Sound->Phone Ringtone.
8. Choose your Ringtone from the list which you want it as default phone Ringtone.
9. Click on OK and you’re done! The Ringtone will be set!
Hope it helps. Hit Thanks if it helped.
