HA! Your right, I remember somebody found the same pic on google! I forgot about that, lmao. I agree with the second part of your post. I remember mrinehart or something close to that was the main Dev for that project. He went away for some break at school for 2 weeks. In the mean time this cat (OP) started saying he got it to boot and started posting files. The first brick was blamed on the flasher not following directions or something. Then it was he posted the wrong ROM files. Then he loads up more files, claiming these were the ones. By that the mods got wind and locked the thread down. Same should be done here before some n00b gets a brick from this clown!
[EVO 4G Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Yea that was me that found the picture and duplicated it, don't forget 2 weeks later when he posted it again after that boot from sd card thing came out and nobody took him seriously
[EVO 4G Android Development] cordell12:
Good find! I do recall the dual boot script and him trying to re-release his bricks/files, lol. Kinda sad because he sent mrinehart into hiding. I ran into him on Android central not to long ago though. We were both working on building a AOSP for the Optimus S, didnt get to far. SD mounted, sound worked, then Beezy got the radio working, right after that Zefie released a CM7 rom :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] RileyGrant:
A little joke? You bricked phones by intentionally posting files that you knew would damage the phones. In all reality you should of been held responsible for the cost of those phones. And now your back trying to start another thread about the same thing for another phone? Please tell me your kidding.

hi i d like to know if there is an easy way to port wm 6.5 from htc hd 2 to htc desire hd?tkx a lot:confused:
[HD2 General] oleggl:
Quick answer: Nope :)

Frankly speaking, it is stupid idea to port awful WM to the real Android device.

Why do you intend to do this?

Buy HD2 and use both WM and Android (... and Ubuntu, etc.)

doesnt it need to be able to turn on to download mode or something for that to work ?? cos it doesnt do anything apart from that screen in the pic
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtom624:
What you have to do is when you see the phone to PC screen hold the power button in until you see that screen pop up for the second time, as soon as it does plug in the USB into your phone and a com port should show up. After that your good to go. You can Odin back to stock from the phone to PC screen. It happens to me every time I use Odin and forget to disable Voodoo first. Good luck man.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle51:
i dont get that screen, i did before but it connected straight back to odin then froze right at the end just before it finished going back to stock
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstevenson1017:
I did the same thing.... what you need to do is, pull your battery, plug your phone into computer, hold down volume up and down while holding down put your bat back in... odien back to original...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle51:
tried that loads of times but still nothing
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Kyle, you tried with the battery out, sd card out, and sim card out to get back into download mode right?

Loading odin, usb into pc, plug usb into phone, holding both volume buttons and then inserting the battery back?

Also, you may want to re-download your stock files for ODIN.. and check the MD5 (if they were given) to make sure your downloaded files were good.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle51:
yeh, everything out and tried with both my usb's but still just stays black
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstevenson1017:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle51:
i read somewhere that someone said you can get to download mode from that screen but iv held buttons, unplugged plugged back in but still nothing

if the phone has to be on or whatever for a jig to work, like the 'phone ! pc' screen it works on maybe plugging a jig in while on that red writing screen will take me to download mode ??

worth a try but need 1 first
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstevenson1017:
I read the same thing when I Google it. They said once on the red screen just go striaght to download mode from there, but I was never able to... it just shut off everytime... ya maybe the jig. Stupid thought but maybe it had something to do with it, when mine finally went to download mode my bat was almost dead the moment I flashed it the phone died when I un plugged it... maybe worth a try...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle51:
i cut the charger i got with the phone down to make a jig out of the end of it, i got right down to the board but only looks like its got 4 pins, 2 on the front and 2 at the back

looking closer it looks like theres 2 soldered together on the back and then 1 by itself but the 3 should be on the front :confused:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samyvibrantuser:
I had similar situation.

Try thid

1. Pull the battery.

2. Connect USB cable to pc.

3. Open odin program in the pc.

3. Hold vol up and down key and power button of phone and plugin usb cable. As soon as you see the vibrant screen leave the POWER button only. You will see android icon - aka download mode. Let go of vol keys

Insert batery now.

Check Odin for com connected.

Now you are ready to flash.

Good luck.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayn_pryde46:
Try this have your phone powered down plug it in, open odin make sure it recognizes you press start with no tar or pit... Just like that tell me if it works cause that works for computer to phone bricks... Its should reset it to just how you had it only in theory though so try it... Or your bootloader is gone...

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decalex:
First off, i always do a nandroid backup before flashing a theme or ROM.. which usually saves me.

I've noticed recently that, pretty much every time I clear the cache 3 times, then clear Dalvik 3 times, (in clockwork 3), after flashing anything, upon reboot, i get the boot animation, then vibrate, then double vibrate > bootloop.

This seems to happen even if I don't flash anything following the cache clear. Has anyone else had this experience? I'm more interested in the cause of this. I've since restored everything manually, but I'm a total flash/pushaholic, and looking for ways to avoid this situation. Any help is appreciated.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Did you properly shut your phone down prior to the cache wipe? As in power off then wait for the vibrate to signal it shut off.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris41g:
Why are you clearing cache and dalvik 3 times after flashing? Once should be plenty sufficient..

As for the cause, I would assume its the dalvik clearing.. cache is its own partition, where the dalvik is is on the system partition, and you are probably corrupting it with excessive writes..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
Also remember that the version of CWM 3 we run on the Epic currently is not official. It can be a PITA sometimes. Dameon has done an awesome job porting it so we can have ext4, but I'm hoping some of these issues get cleaned up when we have the official version.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decalex:
Hm, I almost never do that, but I will start. I usually do the death grip, then reverse death grip into recovery. (Can i trademark that name?) :)

@Mattalica: also good to know I'm not totally alone on this. I hadn't considered that. Thk God for nandroid + unyaffs :)

@Chris41g: i was trying the cache wipes on their own just to try to isolate the issue.

Thx everyone for feedback.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
If your phone is running a "no-journaling" Rom that will cause corruption.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decalex:
Gotchya, yes, i remember reading that- I'm running bonsai 4.01 with twilight 1.1 kernel - i forget off-hand if journaling is enabled , but I'll research.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
No journaling alone will not corrupt data. You have to shut down improperly or have a lockup caused by an unstable App (like beta wireless tether) or an unstable overclock/undervolt.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
And that was what he did, I quote:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
Yep, I know you know what your talkin about. I just didn't want decalex to take your response out of context, as some have been stating that the lack of journaling by itself causes corruption.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decalex:
Is the vibrate, then double vibrate during the boot animation (then loop) indicative of "data corruption" ?

Next time it happens, I'll try to logcat.. I'm curious what is actually happening .. unless one of you already knows.
[Epic 4G General] ddhawkfan:
So a couple weeks ago I installed syndicate frozen rom, works amazing, restarted my phone today, now its in a constant reboot? I cleared everything and reinstalled. same problem. Any advice? I would post this in developement but dont have the rights do so. Please any advice is better than me scratching my head lol
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
It's good you don't have rights to post in development, it doesn't belong there, only posts where something is being developed belong in development.

And you should probably try reflashing the ROM and if all else fails then use ODIN.
[Epic 4G General] socos25:
My guess is he was talking about posting in the thread for the Frozen Syndicate ROM, which I would say is precisely what he should do, although They would probably just tell you to Odin to stock and re-flash.

When you say restarted your phone did you pull the battery, or shut it down normally and restart? If you pulled the battery you have data corruption from the EXT4 using no journaling.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
You can try a factory/data reset if the reflash doesn't work. Then if even that doesn't work you are left with Odin back to stock. I would recommend the EB13 prerooted with CWM3 found here:

THANK YOU! You hit the nail right on the head.

[Gen8 General] saprano614:
i was wondering if there was a way to change the size of the soft buttons for home, back, ect. I was hoping to make them smaller as to not interfere with games and other apps. as well as making the home screen larger and better looking. please if any one has any info on this i would appreciate it. i am not a developer but do have lots of android experience so any info may be useful. Thanks

EDIT: with new firmware out if you have updated the frameworks posted here so far wont work. i am trying to get someone to post a new framework from the new firmware. Hopefully someone will. Thanks
[Gen8 General] fisha21:
The icons you're interested in are located in the drawable folder of the framework-res.apk (buttonbar_sys_*), along with the relevant xml files. I tried resizing the existing icons, but all you get is smaller icons! The buttonbar remains the same size. I'm currently looking at which xml file to edit to resize the bar itself.
[Gen8 General] saprano614:
cool looks like a start at least. keep me updated. thanks
[Gen8 General] tashtego:
You can remove side panel alltogether. Buttons will then placed in the top status panel. Root is needed.

From Archos Gen8 FAQ on 4pda.ru (can't posting outside links, sorry):

In the /data/local.prop file add string

ro.board.has_buttonbar=no

reboot

to change buttons size, install app LCD Density

add to local.prop sting

ro.sf.lcd_density=120

reboot

PS. Perhaps with modified buttons from reply #2 we don't need the last step, as it change font size too.
[Gen8 General] CarsnGadgets:
you can also use the app 'lcd density' to change the resolution of the screen, which makes the buttons smaller.
[Gen8 General] fisha21:
This (and other system settings) can also be found here at XDA

Just to clarify, you either need to add that string to local.prop or install LCD Density, no need for both. The only problem with this is that it changes the size of the entire UI, and makes the icons in the status bar really tiny. That really bugs me!

There are different images for the icons in the notification bar. They are also in the drawable folder, but are called stat_sys_*. Also, simply resizing those doesn't work either. Tried it, but the icon area stays the same, so the smaller icons are just stretched out to fill the space - doesn't look good!
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Why all the guys want to kill the softbuttons?:D

Without them, it don´t work:D

The only thing is bad on the buttons is the fact that they still there by playing games:D

But on my Archos 5 IT , theres an fullscreen mode with that you can disable the bar/buttons by playing games.. maybe a dev can look at it:)
[Gen8 General] LeoNg628:
no, kill them than install softkeys, it works for me, no any problem^^
[Gen8 General] tashtego:
Reading through gen8 thread on 4pda.ru i have found another method:

For example, for 32px notification bar height, unpack framework_res.apk and change file \res\values-long-mdpi\dimens.xml as follows:

<dimen name="full_statusbar_height">32.0px</dimen>
<dimen name="compact_statusbar_height">32.0px</dimen>
<dimen name="statusbar_button_width">40.0px</dimen>
<dimen name="statusbar_button_height">32.0px</dimen>

And don't forget string "ro.board.has_buttonbar=no" in the \data\local.prop

No need to resize images. They will be scaled down automatically.

See attached screens.
[Gen8 General] Bickmista:
ahh looks like progress :), im guessing im going to need root if i want to change the framework_res.apk? which one is best for this archangle, uruk or churlis method?
[Gen8 General] saprano614:
Can you attach your moded framework-res.apk? I have an A70S if that matters. I don't knw how to mod the xml myself so please help out
[Gen8 General] fisha21:
Nice find, thank you so much for sharing. Was still looking at xml files in the drawable folder.

Won't work with Archangel root, as that doesn't allow you to make changes to system files.

Attaching zipped framework apks, 32px and 24px versions fo 70IT, courtesy by bokorez from 4pda.ru. He used rooting method from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=930197 (permanent r/w). I myself now only waiting for tablet, so i can't check files yet. Use it for your own risk please :)

It would be fine if somebody much knowledgeable than me would explain here, how to upload these files on the device.
[Gen8 General] saprano614:
Thanks alot. that helped out a great deal.

EDIT: I think that both are the same. i used them both and they worked but both changed the size to the same. i think that they are both 32px.
[Gen8 General] saprano614:
Ok I can't find that file in the framework-res.apk. there is no values-long-mdpi folder. A little help
[Gen8 General] tashtego:
I don't know why, but if you open apk with archiver program, there is really no such folder, but if use

apktool -v d -s framework-res.apk

you get:

$ ls framework-res/res/values-long-ldpi/
dimens.xml

No, they are different. File framework-res/res/values-long-ldpi/dimens.xml are the same in both versions and contain "24.0px" value (this is error, i suppose). Files framework-res/res/values-long-mdpi/dimens.xml are different and contain "24.0px" and "32.0px" values in 24- and 32-version respectively.

It seems i need to sort it out with the author on 4pda.ru, as i don't have device yet. Or you can try to change file dimens.xml in the folders values-long-* by yourself.
[Gen8 General] sibere:
Very happy with the 32px framework!

Next step is to get button savior working properly (return and menu and search get disable themselves after a while , only home keeps working... ) and get completely rid of those buttons on the side AND in the bar :)

[Gen8 General] saprano614:
ok so i copied bothe the 32px and the 24px framework-res.apk and neither one did anything. i used root manager to copy the file to the /system/framework/ folder then rebooted. if i need to do it another way let me know. i really want to make the bar smaller. i can hide it with go launcher but it is there with browser and other apps and it is just to big. i tried the LCD density change but that makes everything to small. PLEASE help.
[Gen8 General] sibere:
I did try softkeys and it was working better indeed... but I didn't like it.

At least the home button is always working and this is the minimum to get back to the home screen and then use the softkeys in the notification bar. And if I'm stuck, I can always make a long press on the power button to get the big button bar :)
[Gen8 General] tashtego:
Maybe permissions problem?

1. Copy framework-res.apk to storage

2. On the device copy framework-res.apk to /data (use SUFBS, for example)

3. Set file permissions 644 (you can't do it in the storage because of fat32 fs)

4. CUT (not copy!) file from /data, go to /system/framework/ and paste.

5. Reboot
[Gen8 General] saprano614:
Ok so I have tried every method here to get the custom framework apk into the /system/framework folder.

Colud it be that I m using a custom launcher? I use GoLauncher. I just don't know.

Wallpaper means that new framework-res is working. I don't understand about bar - do you mean side button bar? Is it still here?
