[Android Themes] TeamMagnaM0d:
​

Hey guys, we have been hard at work with all the crazy fast updates that have been going on as well as throwing in some new work into the mix. With CyanogenMod updating as normal we wanted to bring you some newly themed features give everything a deeper theming run through, and we have a lot of new mods. The Contacts and Phone applications were completely redesigned by DJdarkknight96 and you will see more his work through out the Gtalk, Facebook, Twitter, GVoice, Maps, Wifi calling, SystemUI, Gmail, Framework, and so more mods as you roam around. This is all in Forbidden-v2 and good news we cover the original Droid now and we will be covering another two devices like the G2x and the Thunderbolt. They will be released as we get stable builds to work off of. For more new and what not to keep in the loop with all of our work and future ideas as well as other Android news visit Our Blog...​

The other crazy amount of updates are coming from P3Droid and his partners with leaks of Gingerbread and Blur for the Droid X and Droid 2. Those have almost been coming out to fast to worry about building then testing and so on so we pass on as few problems as possible. With all that said I we are going to wait till the 13th of May to release anymore Gingerbread build of Forbidden so that we can work on the official build that will be and OTA build. May 13th should be the day we see it start to roll out. For more news and information on the Gingerbread leaks and the official OTA update visit Our Blog...​

We have also been hard at work on another theme for everyone. We have been at it for quite a while, but it is all slowly coming together. To give you a little background on the theme in the making. It is called Dark Flare and it will be slightly more minimalistic than Forbidden but will be pumped full of two contrasting colors. It's hight light and lighter color will be a dark orange with about a half transparent black in which will feature 24 custom icons made by StuntinX (aka Acid'smark) and will have a lot of the same mods thrown in by DJdarkknight96. Similar to the mods that are also in Forbidden-v2. Ljbaumer is throwin down on some framework right now and everything is looking great. We can't wait to release this and see it all pulled together and we hope everyone here feels the same. If you want to keep up with the updated info on this theme and others as well as other Android news follow us over to our Team MagnaM0d blog...

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futur1sm:
I've tested this on multiple ROMs including Android Revolution HD 5.x.x, i00 4.7, ViVO Sense 2.2 and the Kingdom port test - whenever I have the messages and mail widgets setup (the large, full screen ones) it seems to cause lag and the CPU usage spikes up to 100% (can see this with OSMonitor installed) but I can't tell why.

Also, Facebook for HTC Sense completely disregards and ignores the option I have chosen for syncing - I can set it to 1 hour, 3 hours or 24 hours but it will just sync either live feed, contacts or both when it feels like it (sometimes every time i unlock the screen which is tedious and probably wastes battery).

Anyone experienced this and found any fixes? :D

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Always worth asking the question though.

Whilst removing the Orange bloatware is not possible (without root) you can maybe hide it using a different home launcher like ADW.Launcher or LauncherPro (will "hide" a lot of sense stuff too though).

Inspired by this post on the blog I decided to ease up the exclusion of directories from the gallery/media database. Gallery Excluder does the job for me.

Here's why:

Many apps create folders on the sd-card and drop their stuff there. Often, they place images as well. Now that Android checks the sd-card for new media from time to time, these folders will be added to the media database and displayed in the stock Gallery app.

Here's how:

Gallery Excluder lists all direct subfolders of '/sdcard' respectively '/mnt/sdcard' and displays them in a list. If an item/folder gets checked there is a '.nomedia' placed in that folder. If the folder gets unchecked the '.nomedia' is removed.

Since it can take a while to have the gallery update you can force a manual update via options menu.

So please let me know if such a tool can be helpful for anyone except myself.

UPDATED VERSION:

I got a new version that supports subfolders (available at the 1st post)

Navigation:

- long press an item to dive into the subfolder

- back takes you up one level

Downside: there is no feedback when you selected a subfolder for its parent. E.g. when you excluded /mnt/sdcard/folder/subfolder/ you can't recognize it when viewing folder /mnt/sdcard/ (folder won't be selected).

Pre-Market release: Please check.

Updated:

- Select all/none

- Hint for 1st time users

[Samsung Mesmerize] con247:
Hi all! I have an HTC desire that I love. My dad got a mesmerize the other day and I do think it is a great phone. I want to root it for him and remove all of the bloatware. I don't really want to do custom recovery/kernels. It was purchased today, so it has 2.2 out of the box on it. Could someone point me to a tutorial for rooting it? I am confused with super one click of what things to do (like unmount the memory card or what usb debugging mode to put it into). I assume that freezing any app in titanium backup would be fine? Such as allshare/ my mini diary, etc.

Thanks!
[Samsung Mesmerize] Ntruder:
Go into your settings, and click USB settings, and there should be three options, Samsung Keis, Mass Storage, or ask.

If you set it to Mass Storage, it will prompt you to mount the SD card when you plug it into a computer. Clicking mount mounts the SD card and pops open a window on your PC for copying files and such. As far as I can tell, when you mount the SD card, you can't do USB debugging. (FYI, USB debugging is enabled in Settings>Applications>Development)

If you choose Samsung Keis, plugging the phone goes straight into USB debugging mode, assuming you have USB debugging enabled. You might be able to get USB debugging mode from mass storage mode if you do not elect to mount the drive, I'm not sure.

Anyway you probably know this, but in non-nerd speak, USB debugging mode is for programming your phone, synchronizing it, and other related tasks. You're going to want to put it into debugging mode any time you want to make changes to the phone's software framework, like flashing kernels, rooting, and other general havok. So now regarding that Superoneclick program you mentioned? Just plug your phone into your computer in USB debugging mode (meaning DON'T mount the SD card) and then you can just click ROOT in Superoneclick from your computer, and it will give you root access on your phone. Its quite easy. As far as I can tell, you don't have to "unmount" your SD card so much as you simply just don't mount it. When you plug it in, you're prompted to mount the card. Don't, or set the USB settings to Samsung Keis beforehand.

There's not much to the instructions, its literally just

1) plug in using USB debugging mode (don't mound SD card)

2) Open Superoneclick and click "Root"

[HTC Inspire 4G] fwempa:
Has anyone seen a good take apart/repair guide for the Inspire4G. Just got digitizer replacement and cannot for the life of me figure out how to attach the ribbon cable without totally disassembling the phone. Hoping to avoid this.

If this is the wrong forum, please direct me to a better one rather than flaming me.

Thanks

[HTC Inspire 4G] fwempa:
Thanks for the tip, but I find nothing for the DesireHD/Inspire4G there other than a total disassemble for the HD that I've already seen, but really did not help me. I just need to change to touch screen. I appreciate the try though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fwempa:
Got it apart. And kinda back together. Apparently it is not a good idea to reuse the double sided tape that holds the LCD to the motherboard and the digitizer to the LCD. At least the phone works. Now, must order some proper adhesive tape and redo the whole thing.... Took me about 6 hours for whole breakdown and rebuild. Doesn't really seem to fit back together all that well though. Maybe I'll videotape my next breakdown.

:confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jeffsmashkot:
Couple of questions as my phone is in need of a new digitizer too.

Did you have any other adhesive tapes in the process?

What did you use to cut the tape that held the LCD together after you baked it?

Does the phone mostly feel the same now that you have it back together, or does it feel flimsy now?

I'm disappointed that it's this difficult to replace the digitizer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fwempa:
Just so you know, I was a TOTAL noob in phone deconstruction. That being said, the old adhesive seemed quite sticky after i took it apart so I just reused it. Mistake number one. Once it was back together, i notice it slowly opening up like an accordion. The tape wasn't holding and the LCD, digitizer assembly started to rise up. I have since ordered some adhesive tape from the place I got the digitizer from. Definitely get the tape.

I did not bake it as in the video (i assume you watched the same one I did). I used an old spark plug gauge tool thingie to just cut through the tape. It was still really sticky so after i struggled to insert the digitizer ribbon cable, I just reused it. Don't do this. Get new tape.

I did have some plain old scotch double sided tape. I used it in one spot. Lesson: Don't use this stuff. Get new tape.

Did I mention that I think you should get new tape? All in all, it was quite laborious. I went really slowly so as not to brick it. When it was done the phone worked, but like I said the LCD raised up after a couple of minutes. The adhesive was not working anymore. At least I have gained confidence for the next take-apart. I can't believe i GOTTA go alll the way back to total break down. Aaaarrrgh.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jeffsmashkot:
So something like this should do the trick?

http://www.harborfreight.com/32-piece-sae-metric-feeler-gauge-32214.html

Thanks for the heads up... Where exactly do you recommend putting the tape? Does it just go on the black edges of the digitizer, or does it actually go on the surface of the LCD? Sorry if that's a noob question, but I haven't gotten the glass off and I want to make sure I have enough adhesive tape from the Ebay Vendor. Did you have any issues with reusing the mylar?

Sorry for the 1000 questions, I really don't want to shell out off contract prices for another phone...
[HTC Inspire 4G] fwempa:
Mylars were all reusable if removed carefully. I photographed every step so I would know what to put back where. Still waiting for my tape from Repairs Universe. The biggest two culprits are:

1] Tape holding back of LCD to the silver chassis frame and

2] Tape holding SIM FPC to the main board.

You might also tape the PCB cover to the upper board, mine was loose after rebuild.

That I believe that is it for the major tape requirements. Of course the digitizer needs to be taped to the LCD. I'm curious, though, the tape framing the LCD holding the digitizer seemed to have some thickness to it. Almost like foam rubber, quite thin, but thicker than regular cellophane tape.

Good luck. Let me know if you have any tips after your attempt.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fwempa:
Got the tape. Retried to rebuild with new OEM tape. Same result. The phone when completed expands like an accordion. The digitizer/LCD assembly does not stay stick to whatever is under it. I know when to admit defeat. Looks like I'm shelling out 500 for another phone. At least I have spare parts!
[HTC Inspire 4G] wade7919:
yeah i was going to do my screen myself till i seen the tear down & then called afew places around here that does screen replacements and said NO we won't touch the Inspire, i spent the money and let HTC fix it. was worth it they replaced the whole shell not just the screen ... IE lcd / digitizer / Outer case that was scratched and dented... basically a new phone with the guts out of my phone
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jeffsmashkot:
I attempted to do this and let me just say that I too now have spare parts. I purchased a phone off of ebay. I didn't realize the no contract price went up to around 500.00 I should have gone directly to HTC. Live and learn...
[HTC Inspire 4G] SantiMun:
I will be in possession of an HTC Inspire for testing purposes that also has a cracked screen. Not sure how bad it is but I was planning on just replacing the display for learning purposes. However it seems that it may not be worth the time spent.

If I do decide to give it a go I'll post my results here. First thing is to acquire new tape. Did you all purchase it locally or did you buy the adhesive online?
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
YouTube has lots of videos. Best to watch a few a see the best way. If you are scared to break it best you send it in for repair instead. Get a digitizer and screen combo.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vissionary:
Ok so I had been running the Axura ROM for a few months with NO problems. Recently I started having this weird issue, when I wake up the phone the phone freezes at the lockscreen for about 10 seconds. I get no response from the screen at all! The capacitive buttons respond but of course nothing can happen till the screen is unlocked. ALSO, my screen won't rotate in ANY apps as well. It's driving me crazy!

So I thought it might have to do with a recent app I installed, I uninstalled all recent apps...when that didn't work, I mastered cleared and restored back to stock 2.1 and that didn't work either.

I am now back on my iphone with it's ****ty reception :(

[Xperia Play General] Clyzm:
Just picked up this phone to replace my Samsung Captivate, and I just thought I'd list out some pros and cons of having the Play vs the Galaxy S Captivate.

Pros:

GPS locks nearly instantaneously, indoors, to an accuracy of 8 meters.

Gaming controls obviously.

Much better UI than Touchwiz (though that was fixed on the Captivate with custom ROMs, I'm actually liking Sony's UI better than stock Android).

Battery life! Dear god, battery life. My Samsung went for just barely a day with pretty minimal usage (checking emails, sending texts).

The speakers on the Play blow every other phone away. Hands down.

Cons:

The screen. The Captivate's screen absolutely destroys this phone's. While the Play's is adequate, the Captivate's was simply astonishing.

Weight and slimness. This is a given with the gaming controls, but it may be important to note for some. I can't even feel the Captivate in my pocket, while the Play has a noticeable presence.

Internal memory. The captivate gives you 16gb to play with right from the start in addition to having an SD card slot for expansion. Going from 32gb total to 16gb total is going to be a little bit annoying.

Definitely a worthy upgrade in my eyes. I can't wait to load this thing with tons of emulators and get some retro gaming going.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pandawok56:
I'm new to these forums so I'm not really sure if this is a known problem but I'll give you guys a little background of what lead to my issue.

So I rooted my Droid X last night using SuperOneClick and worked fine. Downloaded a bunch of root apps including ROM Manager and Bootstrap. I backed up my phone using bootstrap perfectly fine and everything was working good until this afternoon when I did another backup after getting rid of a few old unused apps. During the back up process, my phone crashes and goes into the reboot screen. It stayed on the M logo for a good half hour. I finally pulled the battery and loaded into recovery mode. I attempted to restore my backup from the previous night multiple times but it kept freezing in the middle of the process. After several battery pulls (I know not a very good idea but i didn't know what else to do) my X finally turned on normally but it was like a brand new phone. I don't know much about the backup process but from what I've read, my phone is supposed to be just like how it was, now restored.

I've linked my google account so I can get everything back, my photos/videos are still there and from the apps that I've tried to use, they're like the way they were (haven't tried any games yet because theyre still downloading).

However I'm tempted to try another attempt at loading my back up now that I'm home but is it a good idea? Or is linking google accounts the way bootstrap backs up apps? My phone is currently still downloading all my old apps that i got off the marketplace so I might just wait until thats finished, then maybe think about.

BTW: For some reason my phone can't connect to 3G either. Earlier today it was fine and I was even surprised that I got 3G at work which I never get. But half way through the day it just went back to normal phone connection. I thought it was because of my work but now that I'm back at my house I still don't have 3G connection. Is this an issue with my phone or do you think it's just my connection?

Thanks so much for the help :)
