It means "White Light of Death". It happens when the phone suddenly reboots with the white LED shining.

My conclusion so far is: photos are very good when there is enough light (sunny weather).

When it's cloudy, photos are not very good.
[Off-topic] papertreeprophet:
Go take a look over at DA, under the categories. You won't find a single category for our dear little Andy. Nope, nada, not even a wallpaper section. Of course iPhone/iPod has had its own section, which you have to expect.

But just take a look here at XDA, and you will see a wealth of talented individuals making amazing designs for our little devices. So why no love for Android? Its not like it hasn't been suggested. I first put in the suggestion back last August, and again a few days ago.

There has even been others suggesting Android at least get a section in the wallpaper category. And i think this would at least be a good starting point. But with the wealth of customization options for Android, DA seems like the perfect place to post all your wallpapers, icons, docks, and themes. There needs to be a whole new slew of Android based categories on DA.

So head on over to the link below; it will take you to Moonbeam's forum for posting new category suggestions. If anything at least post a +1 to the comment I love (I'm 'hornsholdmyhalo'). Or post your own comment about what should be added, and why it should. Lets flood her with the Android love

TL;DR - No Android categories at DeviantART, Go to link, post there should be.

And yes this is my second time posting this. She closed the old thread, so its time to show Android that amazing support once again.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omrij:
One of the highlighted features in froyo announcement was data backup

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html

when you flash a new firmware or factory reset your phone the settings, applications and more important application data are being restored automatically.

SGS doesn't do this.

Did samsung disabled this feature? is there a way to enable it?

I know it's in the settings, but it doesn't seem to work.

When I had nexus one and when I tried CM7 on SGS it worked like a charm

(although many applications doesn't use this feature so application data doesn't restore).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manniakk:
it works... at least for me, but the truth is that there arent many applications using the backup agent. i have built one and the data backup is working flawlessly
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omrij:
after factory reset, does all of your previous applications are installed automaticlly?

does it restore the custom settings you had?

It does when I use CM7, but not when I use firmware based on samsung.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] KInG GaME:
what is a default theme anyway!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pyromatic18:
A default theme is what it would look like after a fresh install
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] skyleth:
the default theme, if i'm not wrong, is the android stock theme. which is the one, in my opinion, every rom should include as default, or at least, as an option (cm 6.1.3 from wolfbreak is awesome, but i don't like the theme)

i think you can get it reflashing the rom
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] festa20:
Why don't you just extract the framework from beta 4 and use it on wolfs cm6.1.3

Or install beta 4 and add Cm settings, then add apps etc from wolfs rom?

Just a thought
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] sofreshjive:
Thanks for the reply guys. Maybe I should have been more specific. I'm currently using Z's freeX10 beta 4 and the thing is I don't want to reflash every thing or else I'd need to customize everything back to the way it is. Too time consuming haha. Basically I want it because when I installed another theme before, some aspects of the theme remained on my phone even though I installed another theme. I'm not sure how to get rid of them, so I was hoping the default theme would get rid of them. I'll attach pictures to this post in a few minutes to show you what I mean. And yeah, I did try to extract the framework from the beta 4 but i failed miserably, It didn't let me install it through recovery:(

EDIT: attached pictures from phone. basically I really hate that youtube icon and I wanna get rid of it and revert it back to the normal one.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] festa20:
You wont be able to install framework through xrecovery, you would have to swap it using root explorer and change permissions, reboot then it should be fine

But make sure you copy the framework that was on before just in case anything happens, and/or backup using xrecovery for safety
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
So... thx to Dj_Steve for the perf v2 rom.

I based my rom off of his ROM and added some of my customization.

ROM features:

launcherpro 0.8.3

flash

reader

updated google apps

updated facebook

updated twitter

mount ro/rw program

quickboot - though only reboot seems to work for now?

bios boot animation

rom is missing a lot of the dell/tmobile apps. especially the wifihotspots app which i hated.

Note: first boot will take a lil while/ Reboots and cold starts will be short after that and will be as long as the boot animation.

more to come in future versions.

To install:

Download attached zip. Extract contents of zip to SDCars\Clockworkmod\backup\

In case you want to go back to your old ROM, do a nandroid backup first.

Do a factory reset from clockworkmod recovery.

Go to the Clockwork Mod Recovery restore menu on and restore the ROM. This is the only way i know how to 'pack' ROMS at the moment.

Link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23637011/Slimmed_ROM_v0.1.zip

Good luck flashing!

Let me know if u run into any issues.

Also, i suggest to install the Solar Wind Live Wallpaper. I really like it.

Will try and incorporate it later on.

thats weird isnt when you do a wipe there isnt suppose to be a os install way is it when you factory wipe and davlik wipe the os is still installed! weird!!!
[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
when you do a Factory you are not wiping the OS/.img files, just the settings, for some reason when I did the wipe everything is working great.
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
so I think I know what the issue is that you are required a factory reset v0.2 will fix that hopefully. I am currently looking at what to add/remove for next version. I am going to try and remove tmo tv and brainpop. I have to see if jit is enabled if not I might add it. Any other ideas?
