[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Dread 7us:
This is a theme very similar to my black and green version for CM7 but red instead of green. The new version should work with any version of CM7 but I've only tested it on Stable 7.0.0. New version is an APK compatible with t-mobile theme engine (Theme Chooser). Old version includes LauncherPro (as seen in pics), custom font (SonySketch) and flying windows and transition animations. Bottom dock easily setup the same as in screenshots with instructions below.

Changelog:

New! 4/13/2011: T-mobile theme engine version available for Theme Chooser! This is version 1.0, so far everything seems to be working properly. Any issues please let me know here.

Disclaimer:

I'm not responsible for anything that may happen to your phone.

Instructions for new Theme Chooser version:

1. Download and install the APK (make sure you have "Unknown sources" selected in "Application settings").

2. Go into your apps and select "Theme Chooser".

3. Select "Dreads_BlackAndRed" (see pic below in screenshots).

4. It will say "Theme error. Sorry, this theme is missing assets for your device's screen size.", ignore this and select "Apply anyway" (this is a known issue with the method I used to create it - assets aren't missing and it will work just fine ;)

5. Reboot phone to make sure everything takes correctly, enjoy :D

Instructions for old RC4.1 version:

1. Make a nandroid just in case.

2. Wipe Dalvik cache.

3. Use CWM 3.x to flash.

4. Flash over CM7 RC4.1.

5. Make sure you have "System" selected in the app "Theme Chooser".

LauncherPro Setup:

LauncherPro is automatically installed to data/app when flashing this theme (to make it easier to remove if you don't like it). The bottom dock and icons seen in the screenshots are copied to your SD card under "DreadsBlackRed". To easily setup the bottom dock as seen in the screen shots follow these simple steps:

Dock

:

1. On the homescreen on launcherpro press menu.

2. Select "Dock background".

3. Select "Custom".

4. Find the bottom dock under the folder "DreadsBlackRed" on your sdcard.

Icons

:

1. Press and hold on whichever icon you're changing from the bottom dock.

2. Select "Change icon".

3. Select "Custom icon".

4. Find the icon under "DreadsBlackRed" on your sdcard.

Setup the rest as you see fit.

Font too small?

1. Go into your app drawer.

2. Select "Spare Parts".

3. Under "General" change the "Font size" to your preference :).

[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Dread 7us:
Its beautiful widgets found on the market.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Cubeology:
This theme is great and I will probably use it for awhile, but there is one incongruity that I can't figure out. The power widget is half red and half cyan. I used the instructions provided to get the icons red on the widget but the narrow on/off lights are a color close to cyan. G2X CM7 Nightly 34

OK, great job, just found it confusing when I set the color for the widget that it only changed part of it.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Dread 7us:
The new version has it themed up a lot more than this version. I'll have to upload it soon.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Cubeology:
NEVERMIND THIS POST, I WAS CONFUSED BUT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH CM OR THIS THEME, I WAS LOOKING IN THE WRONG PLACE.

I am confused about the odd behavior of themes in general with CM Theme chooser. After updating from one nightly to another all the themes disappear. But oddly the elements of your theme or at least most of them are still applied.

I know you have the apk posted in this forum, but I paid for the app in the market which I think is a newer version (1.2 vs 1.0) and now I can't find it even after searching for "red" or "dread" or browsing through the long list of ADW Themes. Also it is not in the list of purchased apps. I also tried to restore it with Titanium Backup but while I'm sure it is floating around my phone somewhere it isn't in Theme Chooser. Obviously I'm a Noob but what #%@#% am I doing wrong.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjhanifin:
How can I switch from the internal ClockworkMod to the microsd version?

I already have the internal version installed, and I copied the update.zip and recovery folder to the root of my microsd card. Then I rebooted using the recovery install instructions, and nothing changed. Is there a config file that needs to be modified to point to the new location?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
bjhanifin,

Either way you just install CWM to your tablet. Only reason for having multiple ways

to install it is for use when folks are having problems.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjhanifin:
I want to store my ROMs and backups on my microsd card. I'm uptight about my file organization like that. :) Besides I have a 16 gb microsd card, I would rather keep the internal memory as free as possible.

I should point out that the internal CWM does not -- as far as I can tell -- allow me to install ROMs or place backups on the microsd card. Which I why I want to make the switch. I was just going to muck about and tinker until I hopefully got it working, but I thought I should check in for some tips before I risk fouling things up.

Would placing a /recovery/command file, which points to sdcard2 do the trick? Or am I going to have to use nvflash to restore to stock?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadness:
I think you're a bit mixed up. Internal or MicroSD are just the install methods. After installation, they are the same.

To make sure we're on the same page:

The G-tab comes with an internal 16GB card. Most of us partition 2 GB of that for the system to use, leaving the other 14GB to be used as the eMMC card, which is seen by many things as the SDCard. Any external microSD card you install will be SDCard2 (or just SDCard for something that references the internal extra space as eMMC). This is what gets the most confusing - most things refer to that extra space on the internal card as the SDCard.

Since the extra 14GB from the internal card shows up as the SDCard, this is where backups and media are normally stored. ROMs get installed to the 2GB partition. Though you might be referring to where you put the ROM files to be able to install them, this is not actually the installation location.

Now, if you want your external card to be used as the eMMC, so it will be the one you connect to over USB, your backups go to, etc., you have to change a system file. (Note - some ROMs already have this reversed) To do this, you'll need to use Root Explorer (this costs about $4, but it's the only thing that makes this easy), and edit the file /system/etc/vold.fstab. in there, you will see two lines that look like this:

dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2

Changing those will reverse which is used in what role:

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2

This second one will allow your external card to be used as you want.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjhanifin:
OK, I made the assumption that the difference between the two ClockworkMod installers was a different "sdcard" pointer. I thought one build would point to the external card, instead of the internal card. When in fact the build is identical, only the location of the initial cwm update.zip changes.

Thank you for setting me straight. I guess I was trying to recreate the cwm environment I have been used to on my droid phone. Perhaps I will setup a (Tasker?) routine to monitor the download folder for .zip files which I can then automatically copy over to my ROM folder on the internal memory to streamline my ROM update process. :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadness:
I know what you mean, I expected it to be like my Droid, too.

When I update ROMs, I start by doing a USB mount in Clockword mod, then copy the ROM over, then do the update.
[Thunderbolt General] behringtheweb:
I got the tb on 3-28-11. From day 1 it has been in a protective case and has a screen cover. Today I took it out of the case and got in the phone for the SD card. When I pulled the battery out I noticed a white sticker on the battery with small d'a thru it. Then to the left while looking on the back on the left side I see a small black sticker with a white word saying void.

My question is does this mean it has water damage? I'm not sure how that's possible because I have kept it excellent condition. I have not once had the phone near water and pretty much treated this phone like gold.

Am I just reading it wrong or is there damage? I have not had any problems with the phone but I'm concerned.
[Thunderbolt General] corenojoe:
Did you buy it from Verizon or best buy?
[Thunderbolt General] JBO1018:
I'm pretty sure the void sticker is covering a screw that must be removed to open the case. Hence if you open the case this void sticker will be gone and Verizon won't honor your warranty.

Edit: there should be a white sticker with a red dot or line that will bleed and turn pinkish if there is water damage
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
When I worked selling phones we used to use stickers like that to tell if there was water damage and sometimes they would be activated inadvertantly by customers who would take their phones into the bathroom, close the door, not have a window or fan on, and take a very hot, steamy shower. Mind you though, these were POS flip/candybar phones at the time, nothing as sophisticated as a Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] behringtheweb:
I bought the phone from a Verizon store in fenton Missouri. I am 99% sure it was a corporate store. I searched the back of the phone and there is no other sticker. The only one seen was on the battery.

As far as the steam in the shower the phone has not entered the bathroom once with me. I know what the white sticker would look like cause I've seen it on the back of other phones I had but not this one.

This is puzzling me and I don't want an issue exchanging this phone out in the future I have a true malfunctioning issue.
[Thunderbolt General] thunderboltglass:
Hmm usually the sticker turns red on the battery when activated by water the void sticker is covering a screw to get to it you must tear this sticker showing you have tamper with the phone. In my opinion the phone should be fine you can buy a new battery if your worried.
[Thunderbolt General] Forgetfull:
This is true. The sticker you see is for unauthorized disassembly.

There is another indicator for water.
[Thunderbolt General] behringtheweb:
Kk just double checking. I've had great phones in the past but this is the first time I spent this much money on a phone. Maybe I'm just being paranoid just wanna double check just in case. But other than that I love this phone.
[Thunderbolt General] bhowell423:
U don't have water damage. That's how the strickers look on the TB. The comment about the void sticker is right. Verizon uses that to make sure the casing of the phone wasn't opened.
[Thunderbolt General] thunderboltglass:
This is the easiest void sticker though I've seen to remove its not recessed like most. If you ever need to get into the phone the sticker is easily removed with a safety pin and care and replaced just as easy.
[Streak 5 General] Neo3D:
So, the Streak's default LCD density is 160, but how did they arrive at that figure?

Is this setting really true to its "native resolution"? It seems like 160ppi is simulating a higher resolution screen. This is how I arrived at this conclusion:

I have an Evo and the text and icons on the Streak appear smaller than the Evo. Given that both devices have the same resolution (800x480), shouldn't the text and icons appear larger since the Streak's screen is larger?

Is it possible to find the true PPI that would yield a "1:1 pixel display"?

I set the ppi to 240 and the text and icons appear proportionally larger than on the Evo as would be expected.

So, why is the default ppi set to 160? :confused:
[Streak 5 General] Neo3D:
After digging around it looks like the native ppi is 187:

http://www.brighthand.com/default.a...ell+Streak+Google+Android+OS+ATT+Tablet+Phone

I think 200ppi might be the ideal density for this resolution and size display based on the Evo.

The Evo has a hardware ppi of 217 but its software display ppi is set to 240. So, if we apply the same rule to the Streak, then:

240 / 217 = 1.106 * 187 (hardware ppi of Streak) = 206 (software display ppi)

I noticed after doing this and comparing pixels in the icon graphics, the 200pi makes the pixels look sharper and less blurry (anti-aliased).
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
The reason its set to 160 is so it can utilize the screen size.

If it was set to 240 (like the evo) then it would like just a blown up version of the evo.

For example. the streak's default at 160 lists 3 or so mor apps in market then the evo. But with a simple edit of the build.prop you can set it to whatever you like. I know someone that has their streak set to 240 just because they have bad eyesight.

I personally like mine at 160 cuz i can view more stuff and really use the 5" screen. But the downside is some developers don't code their apps properly and they don't draw right for the 160dpi
[Streak 5 General] Neo3D:
True! And you could do that with any display. This example is kind of a stretch but my Panasonic 720p plasma can display 1080i. I guess it does it thru interpolation and shrinks the image so the whole desktop fits. The result isn't as sharp as a true 1080p display.

By going with 160ppi, are we doing the same thing? I'm curious what resolution it "emulates" by going that low?

As a developer myself, we never had to worry about ppi because pretty everything was as 72ppi! This is an interesting new territory we're moving into with all these different display sizes and resolutions.

But, something I want to understand and figure out a "best practice" or "golden rule" for :cool:

Oh, btw, I'm not saying tha HTC's hardware ppi to software ppi ratio is the "golden rule" but they're a billion dollar company, I'm sure they spent some time figuring out why they chose that ratio. In the end it's all very subject at the moment.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Keep in mind that at least with tvs everything's pre-rendered, on a phone it'd be more like a computer game or a desktop, it knows what to strech and what not to.

Android 2.x uses 9.pngs for a lot of strechable dialog boxes so that it should look good at any resolution.

Most apps also come with icons/images in multiple sizes so that it's streching/shrinking one that's already closer to the target size instead of only a single image to all sizes.

It's like the dpi setting in windows, it just zooms everything in/out, it's independent of the resolution. (though windows isnt as good at non-default dpi's, some icons do in fact look worse at non-default dpis since virtually all installs are at it's default dpi)
[Streak 5 General] SonicTab:
I find the Dialer crashes often with dpi=200.

Would like to run it 200+ otherwise?
[Streak 5 General] The Jack of Clubs:
you can change the density to whatever you want. dell liked 160 mdpi for a tablety feel and to utilize the large screen while most manufacturers use the hdpi of 240 to keep the ui elements the same between devices. i found that the interface has to be changed alot to suit this and choosing something in between is a bad idea as you get overlapping ui elements such as buttons and text fields, and things like blurry notification icons.
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
i would love to go to an hdpi only..not mdpi
[Streak 5 General] The Jack of Clubs:
all you have to do is modify your /system/build.prop then.

http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/10/how-to-change-lcd-density-on-rooted-dell-streak.html
[Streak 5 General] Neo3D:
I'm only using this to replace my iPod touch so I don't use the dialer but everything else runs fine.
[Streak 5 General] mid_life_crisis:
I don't understand. Why would lcd density affect program functionality?

What is this? Windows?

I found a free file explorer that opens the file but won't save my edits. I assume I have to change the file to r/w, but I'm not sure how. Any thoughts?
[Streak 5 General] SonicTab:
I Used root explorer, change to r/w , edit .

Yes it does crash at times as the Dialer does not scale at all when you change density.

Anyone in Canada looking for a streak let me know.

This is now included in SFR and Anova's Rom!​

Even though most customs roms now have the wonderful keyboard patch posted by mkasick here, I've found that almost all of them still drop keys. But, with some experimenting, I believe I've found the perfect value to set the key timer at :)

If you want to make these settings stick at boot, flash my handy dandy zip attached to this post. :D Credit to the method goes to user_none. If you flash and still get occational dropped keys, it's because you're a typing beast. Flashing the speed demon version should fix it 100% for you :D

If you want to do it manually, or try it out first, use the command below:

Download terminal emulator from the market

Open it up

su
echo 5 > /sys/devices/platform/s3c-keypad/timer_delay

Should be good! Marvel in the ability to type as fast and accurately as you'd like on the Epic's keyboard :)

Sorry if this has already been brought up.. I did some searching and didn't find anything on this. For the past few days I am all of a sudden getting this error showing up on my screen. It will pop up on it's own and I'm not sure if something is really wrong or if its actually an issue that I need to contact Sprint for. Below is the Exact message that I am getting.

"Streaming on your HTC EVO Device

Streaming quality on your HTC EVO may be impacted by a known issue with the Sprint carrier network. To resolve this issue, please contact Sprint at 888-211-4727. Let them know that you are having trouble streaming multimedia on the HTC EVO with software version 3.70.651.1.

I have rooted my phone and just running the base Sprint rooted image so far.. I haven't decided on which ROM I want to try next. So my question is has anyone else seen this problem yet and if you have what have you done to resolve this or did you actually contact Sprint on this? I have a funny feeling that Sprint is going to want to push or have me re-download the update. Which we all know will reload the ROM and wipe Root.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated and again if this has already been discussed and I just couldn't find it I've missed it. Sorry!
