[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Showtime7:
It's definitely lacking features right now... $15 is way too much for a home replacement, especially one that isn't clearly superior to all other launchers. I bought it and am deciding on whether I will keep it or not. Not being able to customize every little thing is not a big deal for me, I just want it to look nice and run smooth, which it does very well. I like the messaging and gallery widgets, as well as weather and all the rest. Everything runs smooth. I just think it's more of a gimmick than anything; they're trying to sell the "3D" aspect of it, which is not really all that impressive at all. I mean it's the same thing we saw on Windows Mobile, nothing new here.

I think this post just convinced me to uninstall.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] MishXT:
i tried this launcher too, the illegal way, got to work too without it saying you need to buy it from market place, but its just horrible, its absolute rubbish, it aint worth the money
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jonathanacohen:
I bought it and I like it, but I agree with the comments that it's not ready for prime time - yet.

I had an HTC Touch (Windows Mobile) before the Android revolution, and back then, you could entertain yourself with the shell itself. Now we have good apps, so the shell just needs to get out of the way...

The thing I like most is how smooth the app launcher is. The thing I like least is the lack of widgets, lack of landscape mode, and especially that the 'special animations' only appear when you put the shell in rotate/demo mode.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] boogsta161:
I agree 100%.

I came directly from an HTC TouchPro2 with SPB and absolutely loved it. It changed my opinion of WinMo up until the Tmo G2 dropped. ADW and LauncherPro have done amazing jobs as far as replacements go.

However the 'old' SPB 3.5 and the themes, skins, etc. that followed it - excuse me for saying this so feel free to flame away ;) - SPB 3.5 poops-upon what is currently out for android. Until the devs get the hang of the SPB interface in android, and friggin release the darn UI OEM only tool..It will just be a pretty piece of eye-candy.

Yes I paid for it. I have paid a total of 25$ for my apps for my phone..and I got all the shiny toys on my G2. Pimp'd to the maxx.

And how many of you suckers pay $60 habitually for video games that do the same thing...over, and over, and over. Duh...

I'm just say'n. ;)

[Trophy General] viking13:
About an hour ago I got message that there is an update for my phone. It is HTC Update, not MS one (I already had NODO). It updated my Firmware and Bootloader to latest versions. I already had latest Radio, so I do not know is it also contain latest Radio, but it should.

My previous information:

OS: 7.0.7390.0

Firmware: 2550.09.10908.401

Radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U

Bootloader: haven't wrote version, but it was somthing like (114xxx)

UNLOCKED before NODO update

My new information:

OS: 7.0.7390.0

Firmware: 2550.09.12000.401

Radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U

Bootloader: 1.20.2250.0(117833)

STILL UNLOCKED! :D
[Trophy General] Terenth:
where

where did you get the update?

was it a message on the phone???

thx
[Trophy General] Avandor:
Have yet to receive that update on my Vodafone Trophy, but found this insteresting piece of news related to the HTC update:

http://wmpoweruser.com/has-the-htc-update-caused-some-windows-phones-to-go-16-bit/
[Trophy General] viking13:
Yes I get message on the phone. Then I connected to Zune and update.

I was curious to see what will happen if user doesn't have latest Radio, so I flashed my phone with older release of ansar's ROM (7004 OS with 5.52 Radio). I know that someone will ask that once, and I had a little free time.

First I got notification about February update and clicked install later.

I unlocked my phone and installed patch to prevent relocking. Then I installed February update.

Immediately after that I got March update notification but there was also a notice about HTC Update, so I got BOTH NODO and latest HTC update AT ONCE. This update takes VERY LONG (40 minutes maybe), and I do not count download time there.

Result is same:

OS: 7.0.7390.0

Firmware: 2550.09.12000.401

Radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U

Bootloader: 1.20.2250.0(117833)
[Trophy General] Terenth:
It looks like I got the firmware-update too, when I got my march update from ms...

But I dont see a difference :S
[Trophy General] viking13:
My phone is Vodafone DE (unbranded with ansar's ROM).

I downloaded this image, converted that image to JPG (for some reason I can not add PNG to my phone via Zune ?!).

I also downloaded image from here, and cut off the left part, and left only original image.

I can see that my phone is 16bit now (why I have a feeling that I will restore old ROM to see was it 24bit earlier? :)), but on my phone picture of that girl looks MUCH BETTER than on part I cut off.

Strange!
[Trophy General] Anderdroid:
Just thought I'd say... Just updated my Trophy to Firmware: 2550.09.12000.707

I originaly followed the Hack Kit to Root my Inspire but recently came upon another Inspire, does the One Click Root/Radio S-Off accomplish the same thing as the hack kit ?

Except for the black cwm screen but there is a fix for it if you go two or three pages back I have a thread posted

[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
The hack kit IMO is easy enough it's worth doing it that way over the "one click" method.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chukkie07:
The CWM black screen is due to something not going right with the Super One Click...even with a fix for it wouldn't you sleep better knowing it was done right from the start?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
I used Simple One Click and never had the cwm black screen. Not everybody has that issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
what blank screen issue? you're scaring me :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
I hope this doesn't become another versus thread, we've already been down this road. They're both great but both require paying attention and common sense. Read, research and be merry.

[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
Ummm, the One Click fixes the black screen too - click Fixes and it will enable full S-OFF by flashing the engineering bootloader.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
I personally used the One-Click method. I also got the black screen for CWM.

I have read the tutorials for both. BOTH methods are very solid. And BOTH methods work.

What it boils down to is this: Can YOU follow instructions? If you can, you will be fine, using either method. the One-click specifically states that some users WILL experience a black screen issue. AND it tells you how to fix it, which is built right into the program.

In conclusion: Pick one. Read the instructions completely. Then download EVERYTHING you will need. Then test your ADB is working properly. Then read the tutorial again. Then start.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bahairus:
I found the one-click method to be pretty easy and did not get the black screen. Tribalartgod is right, though: be sure to read over all the directions for whichever method you choose, and get everything you need downloaded in advance. A user did a youtube video for the one-click which I also found helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0sQFoS_m_8
[HTC Inspire 4G] ronnie498:
Hack kit is easy
[HTC Inspire 4G] xKrisx:
Well, I think this answers my question, I guess I will just do what I did last time and use the hack kit.

I was not trying to start a debate over the two, was just curiouse if One Click was faster ? easier ? or more fail proof ?. I have been developing my own RoM for my phone and havn't paid attention to all the changes to it. But now since I have another inspire, I noticed all these changes to how the Hack Kit and One Click work.

Oh well, gonna root my Second Phone today and go back to my kitchen.

Thanks for the info.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
what's that blank screen issue you guys mention?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Some users would get a black screen with cwm/Rom manager.

[HTC Inspire 4G] M.leonard2:
Do u have a link for the one root click.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
One Click is faster and easier as long as you can follow instructions. Example, if you forget to put it back on Charge Only mode, you have to start the whole process over again. Also when you get to rage, the terminal app doesn't always restart itself so you have to exit the app after it forks the childs and then continue from there.

I personally think that it was faster using the One Click but I'm also adept at following instructions - it took me about 25-30 minutes total to get totally rooted, radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. Its certainly a LOT faster to make the goldcard with the One Click.
[HTC Inspire 4G] judicious:
i pretty much used both..i used the 'one click'..but i got the black screen..so i had to follow the other set of instructions to fix..which was part of the instructions for the 'hack kit'..after that i did eng s-off..very simple tool..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touness69:
New big move from Samsung ! After modifying the inside of the hardware with bumping the clock speed to 1.2Ghz, Samsung has now taken care of the outside :

A traditional Samsung logo on the front

Samsung has even updated all the photos of its microsite => Here and There

Well Nice photoshop indeed sammy eh

Personaly I still prefer the "old" one , its slick and minimalist design attracted me more. But hey, not that much of a modification btw the lack of this logo on the front was initially surprising.

I bet that this logo'ed version will be the retail version and that therefore it will be equiped with the final 1.2Ghz processor, that is pure logic from me I have no source

comments... go !

EDIT : LMFAO GSMArena just copied the title of my thread

http://blog.gsmarena.com/this-is-how-you-spot-a-retail-galaxy-s-ii/

Looks like more people than we though are yurning on XDA forums :rolleyes:

EDIT2: My bad they actually quoted this thread as source, they are cool guys
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] open1your1eyes0:
Hmm, good point. That is definitely something to lookout for.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ayrlupine:
Wow, way to ruin the design D:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] open1your1eyes0:
I like Samsung's logo. And honestly, I was expecting it to be on there from the getgo.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ayrlupine:
I don't mind their logo but it looked so much prettier when it was blank!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buttes:
Looks much better without it, but now along with this logo, there will also be another one for the carrier right? Samsung should put their foot down like Apple and tell the carrier to keep their logo off the phone haha.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwokwchoy:
Bah... it looked sweeter without the logo, but at least I won't get, " Is that an Iphone?"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MXIIA:
Uhh.. yea you will.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoonRaven:
Nice pic on the first post, is it an iphone?

Well I actually like the Samsung logo on it, missed it a bit :)

Noooo..

I promised that i would never ever buy another Samsung product in my life.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rizmal:
BAh its kichy now with samsing logo on the front,i think that ruin the design it looks better WO it,god damn it we have it on the back why we need it on the front of the phone :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] open1your1eyes0:
So you can advertise to everyone and yourself when you're showing off you're phone. ;)

From a business standpoint, this was a smart move. When you have a product people obviously like, you want to put your name on it wherever possible so everytime you see or use it, you can connect it with that company.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijat91:

Release it soon and roll out updates instantly

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rizmal:
U r right for showing it to others,but im not the classic serbian Iphone or nokia fan that the moment he/she sits somewhere in the club/bar/... puts his/her phone on table to show off.I like minimalistic sleek design so for that for me its better to have blank front like on prototypes(its better ot have x-files front than comercial logo banner front;) ).Even descret silver is ok,but totaly contrast drechy white is bad design imo.About connecting to company,i always know what im holding so that falls into water from my perspective,and if some1 need proof of company u always have samsung logo on the back ;) so front logo is too much showing of ;)

PS-also meny people in serbia Samsung name connects to home appliances more then with good mobile phones

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
Man this thing looked sexy before they spear headed it with the huge SAMSUNG logo... I wish it was clean and stealth like before. One SAMSUNG logo in the back is sufficient.

I guess they dont want it to be mistaken for an iPhone. Although Apple has done a wonderful job on the design aspect and they dont put APPLE all over the place.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touness69:
Just noticed s'thin at the back, looked at their press shots and particularly the picture of the back and the one that shows the side and man... doesn't they ****ed up something lol ??

The little hole for removing the back plate is up or down ? samsung make up your mind
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walk.away:
Do other people think the is colour different also now? Or just the "lighting"? As it looks more blue/black now, also maybe a bit more matte finish?

Lol, if that's actually a real question you're deciding, I think you need to get your priorities reevaluated. XD
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nameless21:
that would be the flash.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jazazze:
They might have moved it so that you don't open it at the 'weakest' point of the cover. Bendy as the back cover might be, I'm guessing it could get stuck as you were 'un'popping' around the corner at the top?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
LoL, from the demo's it seems that it is on the top. Some tard might have messed up while photoshopping the Samsung logo.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touness69:
Eh ? So you saw demo's of it with the samsung logo at the front ? They changed the design to add a logo, they can also change such a small detail too...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
Read what you just wrote....

According to the Image, included is the SAMSUNG logo and it shows the little opening for the battery cover to be on the TOP...

On the side view of the withing the SAME image, you see the opening for the batter cover to be on the BOTTOM...

This clearly is an mistake by either using an older version of the SIDE view image OR an error with Photoshopping.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touness69:
What I think is that if they make this mistake that means it's not definitive and it might end up with the retail device having that opening on the Bottom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
Well, it would make no difference where the opening is placed. The importance would be that its at a location where its is the most sturdiest and does not damage the back piece while removing it.

I wonder what the possibilities are to add a extended battery with a slightly larger back cover.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EinPaul:
Maybe the hole is for the microphone?

Could imagine to be quite practically there...
[Droid X General] SlyHusky:
I am getting two notifications for any text message that I recieve...

This is what I have tried...Renaming of conversation.apk to conversaTION.BAK

Freezing messaging 2.2.1 in titanium backup, freezing com.motorola.blur.home.message (by accident I deleted this, but I still get txt messages, will this hurt my mms?), and froze com.motorola.blur.conversations.

I still get text messages from both handcent and what I assume is the messages app built into the droid. The icon is a postcard icon with a stamp on the top right corner.

I've tried to delete handcent and see if that was the issue. No go. Reinstalled and still no go they are still there.

I can clear the message but it comes back everytime that I get a text.

I have disabled ALL notifications in both text message and messages app, and I still get it, from the respective apps (messages AND text messages)

This is where it gets hairy, I would say just to click on it and see where the icon takes you...Problem is that when pressing on the icon from pull down it goes nowhere, and I assume that is because I deleted that blur.hom.messages thing. It also says "you have 0 unread messages". IDK though I have searched through everywhere and tried everything but the right thing.

Any suggestions?

I sbf'ed the x this morning with 2.3.340, and the only thing I have done since that is root, installed apps from titanium, and overclocked via jRunny's app, and of course the above.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Droid X General] zehkaiser:
Are you using any apps that use a custom LED color? I've found that they usually put an icon in the status bar to do that, and they usually lead nowhere. It could also be another app. Just take a look around your app list and see what you can find.
[Droid X General] SlyHusky:
No LED app...It was driving me nuts, so I decided to sbf again to get the message junk back I deleted. When the pc would not recogonize the droid I wiped and factory reset. I had no sms app and none would go through...I wondered after I got stuck on M if it would have worked if I installed handcent after the reboot???

I kept trying to sbf but no avail. Finally tried to flash a rom I downloaded yesterday I think Liberty 1.5...Ha made me stuck on M. Pulled batt and will wait till I get home to complete a sbf on this dang thing and start all over...I'll post on the text issue I was having to fill you in after the sbf..

Thanks,

BG

Thanks tho
[Droid X General] SlyHusky:
for future reference...The problem was noted to Asurion, they shipped out another phone. I have rooted it and all but no custom roms yet...I have no idea what was causing this and neither does assurion.

It has thus been resolved as I got a replacement phone from Asurion. So unless there is more need for this thread for others. My issue has been solved and this thread can be closed.
[Droid X General] breed_corona07:
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm having this same problem, I believe what happening is that both the old froyo messaging icon and the new gingerbread icon are displaying at the same time, I also believe this problem stems from titanium backup after restoring settings after I updated from froyo to gingerbread using an sbf... but I am still unsure, just curious if anyone has a solution?
[Droid X General] chaos254:
use root explorer and delete the messaging app you don't want or you can turn off the notifications in the actually app
[Droid X General] JayGoat:
I too was having this problem when I was on a deodexed pre-rooted version on Gingerbread .605. However, now that I have flashed to Liberty V3 I haven't had that problem at all. I know this isn't much help but I have reinstalled all my previous apps and still don't have the problem.
