Truth be told, as much as I bitch and complain about my crappy Sprint data connection, the customer service you get from Sprint on both the corporate and local level is far and away better then dealing with Verizon.

I average around 100kbps on my 3g.... The best speeds I've ever seen on my phone is around 600kbps in the middle of Houston...

When I stream music through google music I listen to one 5min song on my 30min ride... And I've yet to cross 5mb of total 4g usage since I've been with sprint...

The customer service is spectacular no doubt but when I'm paying 210$ for my "unlimited" plan and I get piss poor data speeds I don't care about killer customer service...

Hello all.

New themer here, but catching on quick, thanks mostly to this thread (and linked threads) and all who have contributed.

I've got a question that someone here may be able to answer.

Some of the spinners in the ICS Sense 4 framework are separated into "inner" and "outer". They are named spinner_##_inner_holo.png and spinner_##_outer_holo.png. I am trying to color theme all spinners, and I've been able to do others that aren't separated by inner and outer without a problem. However these particular ones don't look right, I suspect because they are overlapping and the colors are mixing.

The descriptions of "inner" and "outer" don't really tell you much. Does anyone know how these animate and overlap or how to make it more color friendly to theme?

Thanks in advance.

They both spin at the same time. It's that new effect you see sometimes, and yes they overlap. I would say theme one and leave the other, see how it looks. You could also find the xml that controls the double png and edit out one of them, might work.

Good suggestions. Thank you il Duce. I'll report back on what works.

Did just the dark ones, which are "inner" and it looks pretty good. Thanks again.

Got another one for you folks...

Browser.apk in Sense 4 has a launcher icon that is a jpg with a strange background which is not transparent and has a strange pattern that doesn't look like it means anything. Somehow, it knows how to render just the icon without the background. When I edited just the image, and not the background, it now renders the weird background as well as the relevant part of the image. It's as if I broke some kind of encoding...

I looked through the XML to see if I could make this a png with transparency just like most launcher icons and be done with it. I found references to the file name without the extension, so I thought maybe I could just remove the jpg and replace it with a png by the same name and it might work. It did not.

Anyone know a good way to resolve this problem?

Maybe it was an indexed image? Because those images show up with weird backgrounds in photoshop. What I usually do is use gimp to convert the image to RGB mode and then make the edits with photoshop. It should work after that.

I use Gimp exclusively. I don't have Photoshop. I do recall changing images between modes frequently with no noticeable effect until now. Maybe I should go read up on what an indexed image is...

Edit: Just checked, and the source file is RGB.

Here's what it looks like:
