You will have to undo the MOD. the update will download and start, but will fail when checking the existing file system.

You will need root to undo the MOD, but you can unroot and then update if you like, you just won't be able to get the Webtop back without root. The "without root" method doesn't work on 4.1.57 because the script obtained temp root which can no longer be accomplished on stock 4.1.57.

Does anyone know hpw this cam be done
[Streak 5 General] vwauditech:
You are going to be flamed most likely, but before that happens I will give you some info.

The best way is to flash a official Dell ROM that has this feature enabled. Most carriers block that Android strandard feature in their release roms.

There are also paid apps available in Market that will do both USB and Mobile Hotspot tethering.

There is a really nice search engine on this forum. Im sure you will find it useful in the future.

This is a pretty solid review of the LG 2x and the Samsung Galaxy S2. Keep in mind that the S2 is pre-production and the 2x is still running Froyo.

SGS2 vs LG2X: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_ii_vs_lg_optimus_2x-review-585.php

I think the S2 is the better phone and I have high expectations for the Exynos/Mali combo.

I would not be displeased if the next Nexus Phone was a re-hatch of the S2 (similar to what happened with the SGS/NS) or the HTC Pyramid. I feel the HTC Pyramid looks like the HTC sucessor of the N1 (Al unibody, look, feel etc.)

I'll stick with my Google experience phone, thanks. Regardless of what manufacturer it is, I don't trust them with supplying updates in a timely based. Don't care whether or not ROMs will provide it because I use custom ROMs anyway but I dislike seeing threads about "WHEN IS GINGERBREAD COMING?" especially during the vibrant forums.

"WHEN IS FROYO COMING?!" and all these things. It's just not worth it, plus.. I prefer Google maintaining it because they will supply source to the kernel and build as soon as possible.
[Galaxy S II General] Zardos66:
Nexus is my one and only.
[Galaxy S II General] irishrally:
"Reboot" your phone, thanks ;)

It is also unlikely my next phone will not be the next Nexus phone. The purpose of this thread is to take a look at next Gen components that may be in the next nexus phone. There is a good chance the next nexus will have the CPU/gpu of the three phones mentioned above or even a rehatch of s2 or pyramid.

Edit: thanks for adding to your post.
[Galaxy S II General] zephiK:
No that is not the purpose of the thread. The thread states "potential candidates to replace your NS," not potential candidates for the next Nexus.

Edit: you're real mature for changing the thread name :rolleyes:

[UPDATE] May 4th, 2011

Theme from UltimateSL v1 - The First custom ROM for SGSL

This theme is not much of my creation. It actually is amalgamation of various works. I cordially THANK all those wonderfully talented people who created these works (I actually don't remember the names :( Sorry). Yes, it contains your favourite animations too ;)

Enjoy my friends !

Hoping to see more smiles on more faces :)

[UPDATE] April 12, 2011

Completely Transparent Notification Bar and Pull Down Menu

Finally I have got able to make Notification Bar, Pull Down Menu and Apps Notifications in Pull Down Menu fully Transparent :)

I have also used one of the most Beautiful Icons at a few places and I am sure you all will love them. These have been created by Vukandric and I am very thankful to him. He is a very nice person. Thanks buddy !

If everyone like them I will try to completely port his theme to our phones.

Feedbacks, suggestions, appreciations and healthy criticism are most welcome.

I am not perfect but I am learning fast for my friends here.

Enjoy my friends !!! :):):)

Hello everyone,

After some struggle and lot of nervous moments finally I have some great news for all of you reading this here. I have added some very cooool animation effects to our phone. I have also made the Notification Bar pull down Transparent. Hope you all like it !

Next To-do :

1. Transparent Notification Bar - DONE

2. Replacing Icons - DONE

3. Create entirely new Design.

If you like my work and I get enough response I will add different animations and post here.

I have not created the animations themselves. I don't remember the name of the creator or the link but Credit to him.

Install Instructions :

1. Get your device Rooted. How to ROOT easily

2. Install Root Explorer.

3. Give Root Explorer Super User Permission.

4. Transfer my Framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk to your phone

5. Replace both files in /system/framework

6. Reboot

7. Enable All Animations in Settings>Display>Animations

8. Enjoy !

As usual, YOU DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK.

Now enjoy guys !!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Congrats Buddy, Finally you succeeded in bringing first theme mod to I9003. your efforts are appreciated But I would suggest noobs, not change the system files and accidentally brick the phone :rolleyes: until they decide to upgrade to KB3:D. The chances of bricking may be very very low as you have confirmed, but you never know how is your time.

Is it possible to connect the phone with ADB in recovery mode? I mean did you try that? It may be helpful for ppl who wants to replace the original Framework files and get the phone back in working condition:).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Are you rooted? If yes, Did you mount the system files in R/W mode from rootexplorer before trying to replace the files?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
I just checked with the default recovery mode there is no ADB interface available but there is an option to update the zip from SDcard. Then may be we need to work towards the update sdcard zip in case of any brick to replace original files. Any thoughts on this anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
@trip

Update.zip is surely a good option but we are still far from any use of it. Moreover that method is not recommended for beginners.

May be soon we have some complicated stuff that need to be flashed ;)

@cakvid

Yes, mount the /system/framework as RW in Root Explorer.

Parse error is due to corrupt download. Plz download again.

Btw, could you build an optional package with just the translucent notification drawer and menus without all the fancy animations and icons (some subtle animations and slightly modded icons for the status bar would be great though)? I'm more of a minimal fan.

Bad bad!!! This is for the Galaxy SL i9003 only! The framework file is for the i9003 ROM and not for the i9000 (I'm assuming you have a Galaxy S i9000). I'm afraid, you have to reflash your phone now.

Based on your firmware you require the original files that were replaced. framework-res, framework, and android.policy, If you deodexed your system then you will end up having a backup of those in the done_app/frame folders.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
to both of you last posters: as asked by the person on the last page (sorry, don't remember and too lazy to search), there is a question whether or not this has been tested on the latest fw by anyone.

FYI: look at the date of this thread. it's for froyo. I have not tested it either, but based on what you see in the themes section of this forum, a theme for kph may/may not work on kpm, thus the different versions available by their creators. replacing a GB framework-res with one from froyo is likely to cause bootloop, as it doesn't contain the same stuff.

so, unless you're prepared to get stuck in bootloop and be forced to reflash stock before restoring a backup, don't try it when it's not even the same fw ;)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pandasaurus:
I recently flashed GingerShedBread onto my Eris and everything is amazing, but one thing has been really bugging me.

The standard Gingerbread keyboard has a smiley key when using the stock messaging app. I know using Handcent fixes it by replacing it with an enter key, but I HATE Handcent. It's a piece of sh** if you ask me; it's laggy as hell and ugly, too.

Is there a Gingerbread keyboard I could flash onto my Eris that has an enter key instead of a smiley key, even when using the standard messaging app?

Is it as simple as rooting and then being able to install non market apps such as amazon app store, swype, etc? I really dont want to have to do all that sideloading BS...I would rather just root and be able to do it like any other android phone on any other carrier.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kimtyson:
In my opinion side loading is easier than rooting but the answer to your question is yes. You can install non-market apps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
While I've never done manual sideloading, whatever the process is and however lengthy it is, wouldn't it be easier just to root and be done with it, rather than having to go through that process for each app?

Rooting isn't that hard, it just requires diligent attention to the process. Once.
[HTC Inspire 4G] brian85:
That's what I'm wondering. So, after I root (root is easy, I've done it on many phones), am I ready to install non market apps or is there stuff that I have to do AFTER root to be able to install non market apps?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Rooting your phone doesn't in Itself enable sideloading....its flashing a Rom that the developer has enabled that feature. They just tend to go hand in hand.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tjb433:
Look up AC sideload wonder machine, its a very easy few click method to install non market apps on any stock phone, I'm sure some don't work, and I haven't tried on my inspire as I am rooted and rom'd, but it worked very well on the atrix when I had it
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Well I can tell you with complete certainty the "one click" rooting method for the inspire (bubbys tool), does enable "unknown sources."

I went through the process the night before the amazon app store went live. First day it was up I had angry birds Rio on my phone (market didn't have it yet). ;)

While I can't say from personal experience, as I didn't use the original "hack kit" rooting method, I'd be willing to bet my phone that it too enables sideloading as a result of its rooting process.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
I think...and I could be wrong...that both the hack kit and the one click method load a stock image with the unknown sources turned on.

Maybe someone with more knowledge. could tell us..because now I'm really curious to know.

Can a phone be rooted and not have the ability to sideload...not trying to argue...I'd like to know for reference.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Well, I remember with my captivate, the super one click for that didn't enable sideloading in the actual rooting process itself. Granted, the button to do so was practically right next to the root button in the programs interface, but it was a separate process from rooting, and I actually didn't bother to do the sideloading thing at the time (no real need then).

So the two don't necessarily always coexist for every phone at any given moment.

Just depends on the phone and how the devs who created a particular rooting process decided to do it, would be my guess.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tjb433:
Sideloading apps I believe is all up to the Rom running on the phone, and sense this phone has to be downgraded to another Rom anyways to root, I would imagine most roms support it, basically its not going to be available on every Android root, but most likely it will be available on any inspire root.
