Started to update this morning but had to abort as it took too long and was going to make me late for work. Will try again this evening. Stock O2 UK HD7. Incidentally, Microsoft's Windows Phone Update status site still says O2 are "Scheduling" so it's obviously out of date.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Dj21o:
I would like to know if anyone knows how to make the lockscreen transparent, so you can see all of the widgets update in the background without actually unlocking the phone.

I have tried different applications, and I don't like any of them. I had this mod on my Hero and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT.

If it is just a couple of files needed to swap out, please share!

Thanks. :)

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Dj21o:
Dude I have looked into this for so long it is to the point where it pisses me off. Lol. I emailed a dev about it, I've looked and looked and looked, still no progress. It isn't like the sense ROM's, where you can just swap out the apk, you need to change XML files and some other stuff.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dadoc04:
Yea ive looked into it for a while too.... i saw a thread a while back and it looks like JS did it for another device... might wanna PM him.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] neodorian:
That's an interesting question. I never really thought of the lock screen as a layer sitting on top of my desktop. I just use Widgetlocker and configure it with the widgets I want to show up on my lock screen. Works great and the custom sliders are a nice bonus.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Dj21o:
Yeah man I don't like using it because I just want transparency lol.

I emailed JsChiSurf because he was the developer that did it for the Hero.. But I haven't heard from him yet.

I tried changing the default_wallpaper.jpg but it didn't work..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Dj21o:
Yes sir that is identically what I want to do. And I use the menu button to unlock the phone (no sliders). I think this would be sweet to do.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Dj21o:
Yeah, that's absolutely what I want to do. And I PMed that specific dev. Someone should pm that other dev. I'm not on my desktop lol.

One:

I recently have installed the XDAndroid2.2Froyo.012211 on my htc touch pro2, but it is running very very slow compared with the WM 6.5( Operational system, games and aplications very bad). Some one has some sugestion or some procedure i have missing to speed it up ?

Two:

I want to congifugre startup.txt correct, but i do not know my exactly model.

I bought a T-Mobile GSM when i was in USA.

Which of the follow is the correct?

*Blackstone

*Rhodium/TP2 FR

*Rhodium/TP2 Nordic

*Rhodium/TP2 IT

*Topaz

Thanks too much !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Vbeaucher:
1- I would suggest four things for the speed:

-- install another version of Froyo

-- install Gingerbread

-- overclock Android with a new code line in the startup file (read the FAQ, used 748800 on mine)

-- try with another SD card

2- If you have a TouchPro2, chances are that you'll look for a TP2 file... ;) You should by able the find your phone number under the battery, on the phone itself. Mine is RHOD500 -->Rhodium/TouchPro2 500
[Thunderbolt General] Cporcelli:
I used z4root on my Droid x to root anyone try on the TB with luck.
[Thunderbolt General] DigitalDementia:
I haven't tried it or heard of anyone attempting it, there are some easy root options here but personally I always recommend rooting the hard way first, it's rather simple and helps you keep your adb skills up to par.

It may be just me but I like to know how I got from point A to point B so I know exactly where something went wrong. z4root is a great app for people who have already rooted their device and have lost root, however it gets a lot of people where they don't belong with absolutely no knowledge of adb and then come to the community for help but don't know what went wrong making it near to impossible for us to correct, which they then file an insurance claim and send back the device they broke, which in my opinion is one of the main reasons some manufacturers are locking down hard.

Sorry for the rant! However I would NOT attempt to use z4root. Follow the guides here, it's untested and could have adverse affects on your device.
[Thunderbolt General] ProTekk:
No. Don't even. Stop. Use the root method that is OFFICIALLY supported A.K.A. the manual way.

Please.

OK, I was being nice but screw it. Dude, do me a favor and shove your thumb up your ass and spin on it. I did my research before posting. You should have done yours. Enjoy.
[Thunderbolt General] DigitalDementia:
If you're trying to look like a witty person you failed. Last time I checked this was XDA, I thought that here one XDA we hacked phones, removed bloatware, themed them, and had our own SUPPORTED methods for certain things that have been tried and tested. Ninety-eight percent of things on this website would not be supported by VZW due to the fact most of things void your warranty or go against TOS and since you're here, and you are posting in a thread about z4root I can only assume you know that (and that's giving you the benefit of the doubt that you might have the slightest bit of knowledge about what we do here).

I'm not really sure what it is that compels people to post moronic arbitrary comments in hopes of getting a rise out of people rather than posting something useful. ProTekk did his homework and gave the OP a link to the supported method for root here in the Thunderbolt forums, if you have an issue with people being helpful I suggest you move along and find a more fitting environment where people are more inclined to feed the trolls this isn't /b/ for god sakes.

If it says "Delivering Update" then its in Microsoft's hands, not Bell.
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
Just click on the update option in phone settings in Zune and then turn off Wifi. You'll get the update.

They are contractually obligated to allow the update since they skipped Pre-Nodo, FYI. The timeframe is up to Microsoft at this point.
[Windows Phone 7 General] VelJharig:
Umm... I think the original post is an over-reaction, and the subject line is misleading.

Here are a couple of posts from Mobile Syrup, showing that Bell is delivering the update to the LG Quantum and HD7:

http://mobilesyrup.com/2011/03/29/wp7-nodo-upgrade-now-available-on-the-bell-lg-optimus-quantum/

http://mobilesyrup.com/2011/04/01/bell-htc-hd7-receives-windows-phone-7-nodo-update/

If you followed the whole initial delivery system fiasco, the MS delivery schedule update, and looked at the document provided by MS, you would know that:

The updates for a given provider are pushed out over several weeks. Your device may not be on the list to be notified yet.

MS controls the device-specific delivery schedule and updates are pushed from MS servers. Bell isn't going to be able to tell you when your particular update will arrive (though she could have provided the range of dates).

All devices will eventually get the update.

There is no call to claim that users should not expect the Nodo update if they are on Bell (or any other provider showing "Delivering update" as the status on the MS page). The tech support person told you "Please check your phone for any updates that may come in the future, this info is not provided to us or managers any sooner than it is to you." That is because the update is pushed directly from MS servers once Bell signs off on it. MS knows when your device will get the update in the next few weeks... Bell does not.

If you don't want to wait, use one of the Zune disconnect NIC tricks to get your update now (there are quite a few sets of instructions floating around here, and you don't even have to modify anything on your device other than whether wifi is on).
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
I actually got the pre-NoDo. But my phone didn't notify me, Zune did when I connected.

And I know about the wifi trick, but I'm hesitant to do that in case I miss some handset-specific updates or what have you. You just never know.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
I disagree. In the links you posted I'm not sure where they got those images from, but Bell has definitely not released NoDo.

I've dealt with this company for years, I know them like John McClane knows the Grubers. Bell will not be releasing any updates. While I sure hope I'm wrong, but I'd put money on it and write it on a stone tablet. Ain't no one getting updates the official way.
[Windows Phone 7 General] the92playboy:
If you have dealt with Bell for as long as you have, and with their ExpressVu portion as well, then you should have also learnt a very long time ago that these reps, and nearly anyone you speak to in any of their stores or kiosks, are clueless on anything other than what current promotion they are pushing, as they read that from a cue card.

For example, I went into the Bell store here on launch day for WP7.... they had no effing clue what I was talking about. Hadn't even HEARD of Windows Phone 7. So should I assume that Bell won't be selling any Windows Phones? Or should I realize that these people (as in store salesmen and generic help-line staff) are at the bottom of the totem pole, and don't really know much beyond the bare minimum?

I recieved my pre-NoDo notification for my Optimus Quantum on my phone, fyi. I think you are jumping the gun; I bet you could call that same person the day after Bell releases the NoDo update, and you would get the EXACT same response.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
She said that she gets this information at the same time as you do. Why keep harrassing the person?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Good points.

I still believe 100% that Bell will not be releasing any updates, but you do make good points here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
I don't understand. You just claimed in the previous post you got pre-nodo. Am I correct in assuming you are just hung up on the fact that your phone isn't notifying you about an update, instead of you having to do it yourself by running zune?
[Windows Phone 7 General] VelJharig:
MS Worldwide update schedule:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/features/update-schedule-world.aspx

From the commenter that provided the pictures in this link:

http://mobilesyrup.com/2011/03/29/wp7-nodo-upgrade-now-available-on-the-bell-lg-optimus-quantum/

"When I got the notification for an update yesterday morning I did not have to do anything special. Just came up on my phone while connected to Zune.

Both checkboxes in Settings/PhoneUpdate have been checked and, as it happens, my WIFI was off. Message just popped up on the phone.

First install froze on step 6. It asked for a phone to be connected to the PC. It already was. After a 10 min wait I just unplugged the phone restarted Zune and everything went smooth.

Works well, Copy and Paste are simple and intuitive. Market place is definitely more responsive. Other than that the phone OS seams very similar in speed/performance. Can vouch for any overall OS speed boosts like other have noticed. My biggest complaint is that camera settings are not saved and this is still true with NoDo. But this is primarily a phone after all"

--Posted by Sasha | March 30, 2011, 11:16 am

That sounds to me like Bell has authorized Nodo device updates as of at least the 30th, and that updates are going out through official channels. It doesn't get delivered through Zune to a carrier device (without hacking or interfering with Zune) unless the carrier has signed off on the update.

When we have personal testimony from Bell customers that they are receiving the Nodo update (with photographic evidence), and that corresponds with the MS statement that they are delivering the update to Bell customers (over 2-3 weeks)... explain to me again why we should believe you?

Your assurance based on random internet authority that Bell is not going to provide the Nodo update is not compelling. All you are doing is spreading FUD unnecessarily.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
That lovely mobile syrup link contains two random pictures, and then you repost something from the comments section to counter my position? I don't know that person, neither do you, and it's in no way an official response from Bell.

You know, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware you had a single piece of anecdotal evidence. You're right, I must already have the update.

I never said I had the authority, I just said don't expect it. I'm not.

I have clockworkmod and I updated the recovery to 3.0.0.8. When I boot into recovery and try to install EC10 comavolt and it won't let me. I also tried to install other recovery's via Rom Manager but it says download failed.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Rom manager is not compatible with our phones. You will likely need to revert back to an older version of cwm.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ddb1984:
Ohhhhhhh OK well how would I go about reverting back and I am looking for the info while Im sending this
[Samsung Mesmerize] ShadowCassik:
I too would also like to know where I can get this older version of cwm.
[Samsung Mesmerize] emarohl:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...roms-w-root-clockwork-updated-3-25-a-389.html

There should be a link to a cwm.tar file (not the exact name) on this page. Flash it via odin and there you go.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ddb1984:
Thats my problem I cant use my USB right now and I can only zip at the moment but barely can do that do to the Recovery messing up
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
Can't use USB right now...? I think you might be confusing transferring files to the USB card while the phone is booted, with flashing a TAR file via Odin.

Remember--when you're flashing via Odin, your battery is pulled, the phone is off, and then--while you do plug in your USB cable--it's only receiving power through that USB connection.

Use BDE's "How to customize.." guide

here

, and go directly to step 2. If you don't already have it, grab the "Red" Recovery from

this thread

(also linked to in BDE's guide); grab the TAR file listed there. Then go back to the guide and follow the instructions for Step 2.

That should get your recovery back to Red recovery, and I think from there I'd make sure everything else is working and the phone boots before doing anything else. Once it's up and running, then maybe give the kernel another shot.

EDIT: Thought of what else you might mean; if you're unable to get Odin to recognize when your phone is plugged in, hit up the Samsung website to get the Samsung USB drivers. Then, when you hold the volume down key as described in the guide, you should see one cell of Odin turn yellow, which tells you your phone has been recognized. Assuming you have a Windows PC, at least.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ddb1984:
Yea I even put in another post about my USB issues and can't seem to find a solution. I may just purchase another phone. My girls works perfect and no connection problems but I may of damaged it or something but it only charges doesn't work other wise. ADB, USB file transfer, nothing.
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
ChromDog's post was a mess. I'm ignoring it.

So you're saying you can't even get the phone to work in Download mode? Will the phone actually boot up into Download mode?
[Samsung Mesmerize] ddb1984:
Yea I get the yellow screen with the android saying downloading. I have tried 3 cables and 5 diff computers. I even went to cellular south and got a new cable. When I figured it was my phone was when my girls phone worked with the same equipment. Also sometimes when I plug it up to the PC doing download mode it will say USB Not Recognized and I have the drivers installed I even tried to select the specific driver but didnt know which one to do out the that folder of many LOL
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
Have you tried opening ODIN in Download Mode anyway just to see if it'll recognize the phone?
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
Rare is the occasion that wiser words than these have been uttered. XD

While I was getting pretty wordy with my answer, Add's more or less on the same track as me: Even with the USB not working when the phone's booted normally, does Odin recognize it even so, or is Odin what you've been trying and not getting to work?
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
The different computers you tried wouldn't really matter unless each one had the Samsung USB driver installed. Also, does your girlfriend have the same model phone as you? If not, it's not necessarily a fair test.

It does sound like you've tried using Odin, and it just hasn't worked (based on the bolded part). So, try this:

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SCH-I500RKAXAR

Go to the above link. Underneath where it says "Download Center for SCH-I500RKAXAR", look for "Manuals | Software". Software should be a blue link; click on that.

You should see a list of four items you can download. Look all the way to the right, under the "File" column; there should be four little icons. Click on the first of the four, and Agree to their user agreement. Save the file somewhere easy to remember, and run that file. I'd suggest doing this on any home computer you might connect your Showcase to.

Then, try putting the phone in Download mode and connecting to Odin once again.

Does it work after that?
[Samsung Mesmerize] ddb1984:
I dont know how or why but I was able to get odin to work on a XP machine and I flashed the odin files for pick and pack and the odin files for cwm recovery all and was able to get both the recovery and 2.2 but I have more problems LOL. My internal memory is 0. I factory wiped and wiped cache via red recovery but to no avail. Still getting 0
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
If you can get into your phone and do stuff in Android, I'd run a Titanium Backup of your apps and stuff. If not, you may be SOL.

I'd start by just finding a stock ROM for 2.1 or 2.2.1 and Odin'ing that over to the phone. Start completely clean, no custom ROMs. Then load up CWM Red again.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ddb1984:
I have been looking for 2.1 Stock Rom for CS but I have not been able to. I have my apps backed up but unfortunately I can't install them in this Rom yet but I will keep trying to get it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
Ouchie! I just had a look throughout the Mes Dev thread, and the one post I saw for EB11 for Showcase had the link removed. Couldn't find any other reference for an actual stock 2.1 or 2.2.1 specifically for the showcase; the guys *may* tell you the Mesmerize ones work for Showcase, but DO NOT use them until one of them says so. I would guess not, but don't know for sure.

I'd see about hitting the IRC channel and asking for a clean stock ROM from there, and/or maybe getting some "in-person" advice that way. ...or hope Phidelt82 or Elijahblake come across this thread to get it to you/help you out otherwise. XD
[Samsung Mesmerize] ddb1984:
LOL IKR but I have already asked them for a Stock 2.1 Rom for CS and I was pointed to someone but they haven't responded to me so idk. And thanks for some of the info and I am happy I was able to get the files b4 he removed his comments. I had them already saved on the computer.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Some individuals were trying to put together a 2.1 stock image but weren't able to get one working, the one they have is stock 2.2 and that is the only pure stock ROM they have, but there is no reason to go back to 2.1 unless you planned on using it and staying with it, so a clean flash to 2.2 should fix any issues you may be experiencing.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ddb1984:
I am with Cellular South and I don't believe there is a stock for us just yet. I was also able to put the SDcard in a card reader and put Superclean 2.9.2 on it for Showcase. Pray I get internal storage and my phone works.

YES!!!!!!!! Internal Storage w/ Superclean and a working recovery. Well I have more issues to attend to but that's wonderful to me.
[Epic 4G General] jd254:

I installed Launcher Pro Plus on Das BAMF 1.3.2 and whenever i open up the phone/dialer the call history that normally displays behind the keypad is blank. If i select call history from the bottom, then switch back to the dialpad, the history will be displayed. Its a pain to have to switch back and forth every time i bring up the phone. This doesn't happen when using Sense as the default launcher. Anybody have any idea what causes this or how to fix it? Thanks for any help/ideas!

dbu over in the development forum posted this:

Note: there seems to be a little bug with all 3rd party launchers where if you you hit the phone button and the dialer pops up, the contact list is blank and the smart dial does not work. To remedy this long press phone, select a new application and restart Launcher Pro then add the phone back, you may also have to open up the dialer and try to dial a few numbers and delete them and the contacts should appear. Not really sure why this happens.

Going to give it a try and see how it goes.
