[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
You are trying to SIM-unlock your phone?

Don't use the boot menu (where there is the sim-unlock option), I'm not sure what that's for but it's not needed.

If you use the recommended root method, one of the side effects will be that your phone will also be sim-unlocked. This is what I'd recommend.

Okay well I guess I should change the question: how do I test sim-unlock on my phone without another simcard?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
On the same page I linked above there are instructions for running gfree verify which will query the phone to determine the status of sim-unlock.
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
Can be done by apktool decrypting status_bar.xml in the layout folder.

Under first LinearLayout... you need to replace the next two lines with the following...

<TextView android:textSize="0.0sp" android:textStyle="bold" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/screenName" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:paddingRight="6.0dip" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="0.0dip" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" />

this adjusts the padding and layout width and height to 0.

This is in the framework-res.apk and not in services.odex or androidpolicy like other android devices.

Thanks to Jhotman again for pointers on APKtool.... will update the 345gingerkrad with an option to have the framework without the Carrier.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
I was previously on Vaelpak Rom then noticed my market wouldnt let me download apps nor would it allow me to update apps. I nandroid recovered to a previous and still the same problem. Then I complete wiped the phone and flashed myns warm 5 (like the transparent customizations :D) and I still cannot download from the market. I even tried to download before and after a titanium backup restore and still wont work. The Market allows me to search for an app, select "FREE", but when I select "OK", it just highlights as if its about to download but NOTHING happens. Any ideas? Reformat card possibly?:confused:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayharper08:
Have you tried moving all your apps to your phone and deleting the android_secure folder on your SD card yet? Sometimes that folder will get corrupted when switching roms and it will do that. Move all your apps, delete that folder. Then reboot. Then try to download from the market. (Don't worry it will create that folder itself again.) Then you can move your apps back to the SD card. Good luck.

I have been looking for a custom 2.1 rom with all the SE junk removed and nothing more added.

I have found several guides to cleaning the stock 2.1 and custom 2.1 roms (like kX10) which are in the Devs section.

The "Overview available ROMs (Custom+Generic) [Updated: 2011/March/18]" thread is great but under Generic Roms there isn't one with the junk removed :(

The other ones that DO have junk removed have alot of others stuff added, like custom HOME etc.

Would anyone know of a rom which has all the sony junk removed, rooted, jit etc.

A nice clean rom ;) Thanks

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] JonesWTF:
Just booted up my Milestone for the first time in about a year and I have no sound. Nothing through headphones or speaker. I tried flashing a new SBF and the problem is still there.

Just wondering if you guys have heard of this happening before?

I reckon it's probably a hardware fault. Is it worth getting it repaired if I have a Desire now? I was quite interested in it again now the keys have been released.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
I doubt that both the headphones and speakers would go.

It does sound like a software thing somehow.

So you did full wipe/factory reset and all that from scratch?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] JonesWTF:
Yep, did the lot. I remember when I was using it originally I used to get a lot of crackles and squeeks. I also remember the sound just dying as well, but would always come back on a reboot. Now there's just nothing.

I'm wondering if it could be the headphone socket? Say for example it's constantly picking up a signal as though headphones are connected. The headphone icon is now flashing up a lot on the status bar.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
Oh yep that's what it sounds like.

So the phone is fine otherwise.. the phone rings and whatever else...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] JonesWTF:
It'll function completely fine in every other way. Just can't hear anyone on a call or hear it ringing. Do you think it's going to be an expensive repair?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
I dunno.

It may be as simple as a loose connection inside.

In that case, it'd probably be a cheap fix

[G Tablet General] isthisagoose:
I just installed the Calkulin v1.1 ROM & 2.6.32.33 pershoot kernel and am loving the combination so far, but I have two issues and I'm wondering if others are seeing the same things.

The Tweetdeck app will force close every time I click on a tweet to reply, click on URL, etc. I initially saw this after restoring from a Titanium Backup, but after reformatting/reflashing, I'm still seeing the behavior after a fresh install of the app. Any idea what might be happening here? Other twitter applications are working fine, but Tweetdeck is by far my favorite.

Secondly, I'd like to get Launcher Pro Plus installed but I can't figure out how to get the Launcher Pro free version uninstalled first. I tried dropping the .apk into /system/app but that didn't work, and ultimately led to the reformatting/reflashing I mentioned in the previous paragraph.

Other than these two nags, I love the ROM. It's definitely the snappiest of any I've tried so far.
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
Did you try using home switcher to get launcher pro active after install?
[G Tablet General] blanksuspect:
you shouldn't need to unistall launcher pro if you have the paid version, just either restore the backup you did of it before you flashed the Caulkin ROM or go into the settings and unlock it with the code they gave you.
[G Tablet General] isthisagoose:
The package installer returns an 'Application Not Installed' message when I attempt to install.

I assume this occurs because the full version can't install alongside the free version?
[G Tablet General] P00r:
it's Probably due to the fact that it's in the system partition instead of the data/app folder but you should be able to activate it anyway
[G Tablet General] blanksuspect:
there aren't two different versions of launcher pro, just one. you have to unlock it in order to use all the features. just reflash the ROM and go to the settings for launcher pro and unlock it with the code you should have paid to get.

Blackened by TazzPatriot for Theme Chooser is here . Simply download the apk, Install as an app, open Theme Chooser, Select Blackened and reboot. There are still a few things I know need to be addressed such as the green on/off indicators in the pull down power widget and a few of the app icons are not changing. I am looking into these things as well as some others and also adding the theming for the genie widget for the next update. If anyone comes across anything else that needs to be addressed please let me know. Also if there's any other suggestions or requests I can look into for you. I'm planning on making some other add-ons and options to go with this theme one being adding another option for one of user7618's black and red keyboard that I think goes great with this theme :)

Note: When you apply the theme you may get an error saying there are assets missing for this device... Just hit apply anyway ;)

All credit for the theme goes to Tazz. It's his theme I just put it into Theme Chooser. The wallpaper was done by workshed. The keyboard is from macrodroid. I did a few changes and additions as well.

Theme Chooser does not support lockscreen theming so I made a couple of additional files you can apply with metamorph or ZipThemer. I personally prefer ZipThemer but it's up to you. Either app is free in the market .

Anyone having problems with Theme Chooser displaying themes I've put together a zip you can flash from recovery to bring your themes back :)

Theme Chooser Fix

Blackened V3.7 - Added some more theming to Go Launcher, added "Harvester of Sorrow" and "One" ringtones. Last update for a little bit while I update my Cyan theme with a few things :)

Blackened V3.71 - Same as V3.7 but with no keyboard theme in case you want to use a different keyboard. If you like the red keyboard use V3.7 :D

Blackened V3.8 - Same as V3.7 with Speedometer battery icon reading 1% increments.

Blackened V3.81 - Same as V3.8 with no keyboard theming

Iron Cross lockscreen with more red highlights including lockpatterns

Skulls lockscreen with more red highlights including lock patterns

Here is the Iron Cross Sliders

Here are the Skull Sliders

Uploading for testing but still a WIP

Following are Blackened Themes for GB and Froyo that can be installed with MM or ZipThemer. As stated previously I prefer ZipThemer but it's up to you which you use :D Remember to make a nand backup before doing either!

Blackened GB

Blackened Froyo

Enjoy!

I will post updates as I fix the things that need to be changed and get some other additions put into the theme as well :D

The following Launchers are themed in this apk. ADW as shown in screenshot 1. Go Launcher as shown in screenshot 2. LauncherPro as shown in screenshot 3.
