[HTC Desire S] :
Yeah a few of the skins have a few glitches in the notification area. Glass Sense is one of them. Some others have some ghosting. It's due to different framework between DHD and DS.
[HTC Desire S] gaz77:
Same issue here with the glass sense, the notification bar is all messed up.
[HTC Desire S] metalbender:
Got an over the air system update for my Desire S, sent by HTC I think. Since the update the extra skins posted here, though still installed in my phone are no longer accesible and have been rendered inert. Help please. :(
[HTC Desire S] :
I do not know what to suggest. I am on a rooted phone with custom ROM so am avoiding the OTA update. It must have changed something to do with the framework. These skins were developed for the Desire HD, so it may be the case that they get updated if HTC roll out an OTA update for the Desire HD that makes the same changes, otherwise I'm afraid it sounds like you'll need to roll the update back somehow to use the skins again. I do not know how to do this. Sorry.

Some SENSE3.0 skin the better
[HTC Desire S] isaekrem:
thanks. for sharing
[HTC Desire S] rzzhao:
very nice,thanks
[HTC Desire S] metalbender:
I see, thanks. :) May I ask which custom rom are you using? I was finally able to S-off and root my phone. Currently using a Sense 3.0 custom rom. I'd be interested though in using a custom rom that allows the use of the Extra Sense skins featured in this thread. :)
[HTC Desire S] :
I'm using Coredroid. All skins work fine on this rom. I can also recommend the LeeDrOiD rom if you don't like the eye candy of CoreDroid.
[HTC Desire S] metalbender:
^ That was very helpful. Thank you. :)
[HTC Desire S] Fritches:
Is there any reason why these themes won't work on my Desire S?

My Desire is 2.3.3 with HTC Sense 2.1
[HTC Desire S] :
Do you have the latest ota update? There was mention a few posts back that since the recent update, they've stopped working.
[HTC Desire S] Fritches:
Sorry I'm new to Android, what's an ota update.

The phone has the same firmware on since I brought it.
[HTC Desire S] :
Sorry didn't realise! OTA means over-the-air. I.e. an update that is downloaded by your phone from htc. If your phone is new our probably came with this update already on, which us why these skins won't work. They were made for the Desire HD originally, so have a poke around in their 'themes & apps' section. See if there are any others that work?

I've just put a sense 3.0 rom on so I'm definitely unable to use these now!
[HTC Desire S] Fritches:
Ohh I see, How would I delete the themes from my phone? I've installed them but since I can't use them I might aswell take them off the phone.

What's a rom? Is it just another word for firmware upgrade? and how would I go about installing it and would it delete my settings.
[HTC Desire S] :
Firstly welcome to android!

You can uninstall apps by going Menu> settings> applications> manage applications then hit the 'all' tab and scroll down the list until you find the skins, select them and hit the 'uninstall' button.

Ok there are several threads in the development section that you need to read before you can change a rom. It is basically the whole operating system minus a few other bits. You won't be able to just install one like an app, as your phone is stock and will need to be unlocked first. Search for how to "s-off" and then "root" your phone. Don't do it unless you understand what's being explained, and then only if you feel unhappy with the phone as stock.

Have you checked out my guide for android newcomers in this forum section? Should help get you started with the basics.
[HTC Desire S] Fritches:
Thankyou for the information

I'll go look around :)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad3qz:
To all vibrant devs here,

i make a new thread so i can find a clue to my vibrant which is getting stuck in recovery mode <3e>. i searched for all stuck in recovery mode thread, but it seems i can't find any clue there.

here is the situation:

i have a t-mobile vibrant in t959uvkb1 baseband, was using bionix 1.3.1 rom, and overstock kernel.

i updated the kernel accidentally to cwm7 kernel (cwm v3.0.2), then my vibrant went in bootloop. i couldn't even get back to bionix and overstock.

i was using odin to flash the vibrant back to stock (t959uvjfd.tar), and somehow i didn't uncheck the re-partition, so it became totally blank.

then i found t959uvkb1.tar in this vibrant forum, i flashed it again with odin, and now my vibrant get stuck in recovery mode <3e>

i see there are 5 choices only:

reboot system now

reinstall packages

delete all user data

delete cache data

format internal sd-car

everytime i reboot, it come to this recovery mode again

i try to reinstall packages, it says E: failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip (no such file or directory).

i have bionix 1.3.1 rom and overstock kernel files stored in internal sd-card though.

my question is:

which rom is suitable with this recovery mode?

is there any way that i can downgrade to 2e?

need help from anyone.

thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad3qz:
update:

i managed to find eugene's froyo that doesn't brick file (t959uvjk2).

i used the file with odin, and i have my vibrant back to normal.

just curious, the baseband was t959uvkb1, and now it's jk2.

thanks to xda forum.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad3qz:
update 2:

everytime i reboot the device, flight mode always activated. i have to deactivate flight mode in order to get the signal.

i tried to flash the device back to t959uvkb1 and use odin to flash, my baseband goes unknown.

what should i do?

i need help desperately.

thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad3qz:
no one answered yet??

need help desperately.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Might try Odin flashing all the way down to JFD? If you have a pit file and a full image (like JFD), repartitioning shouldn't be a problem. I always do it when flashing down to stock. Edit: Do be careful though!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad3qz:
@inconceeeivable,

thanks for the reply.

i've done flashing this vibrant so many times, with jfd, kb1, jk2, again and again.

everytime i flash it with jfd, it always stuck in vibrant logo.

when i try to flash it with eugene's froyo that does not brick (jk2), the baseband is there. but everytime i reboot the device, the baseband become unknown again.

i am confused now.

it's just the same when i updated the device with bionix 1.3.1, that changed my baseband to t959uvkb1.

do you know what i should do next?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
That's strange that JFD is not working.

So wait... the baseband is disappearing with Bionix as well?

Have you tried flashing a modem on top of either of those?

[Desire HD General] ivolol:
Do you think HTC will have any plans to update the DHD after gingerbread?

Is it planning to backport some features of Sense 3.0?

Do you think they ever plan to support the DHD when Icecream comes out?

I know they've been pretty good to us so far, but I'm not sure about much updates after GB.... what's your opinion?
[Desire HD General] zla.mas:
Last night i got downloaded 2.3.3. Android for my DHD, but I don't think so that they will release updates anymore

Custom is best solution, just waiting for my waranty expires, and custom ROM here we go

Sense 3.0 is for dual-core as I heard
[Desire HD General] CodeNameUnknown1:
na they most probably will make an update. On Twitter they said that some components will be given to the desire hd but not all of it ... and im guessing that going to be htc sense 2.5 or 2.2 (whatever they want to call it) but im quite positive they'll release an update since everyone got mad about it not coming to previous phones.

whether its just a sense update or a system update, i expect an update to be released
[Desire HD General] shaithis:
I fully expect the first official gingerbread DHD rom to be the last.

As much as I hate it, it is the same marketing strategy that all the phone manufacturers seem to employ. New features require a new phone :mad:

They all see it as money wasted as the operators are shoving phones down peoples necks at a phenomenal rate.

Don't dream friends. There is too many ads, pics and reviews over web, HTC can't alter ui soo much.
[Desire HD General] Henshinagogo:

[Desire HD General] LupusHD2:
It's true HTC has claimed to continue their support Update-wise for DHD, their ex-flagship model, with part of sense 3.0 (EVO 3D, Sensation) but my view is that, firstly, it will take forever, not because the developers of the manufacturers are weak by any means, rather cause they will always keep delaying updates for older phones (older = 3 months old + btw, its getting ridiculous..) for marketing purposes, and secondly, it will be so minor contrary to the actual full sense 3.0, that it 'll only be a tease to enforce the need to buy the Sensation, or any model to come after that during Q3/Q4 2011.

Sad, but true.

[About XDA developers] sparkyryan:

[About XDA developers] svetius:
So you mean, if you press a link in the browser or email, you want it to open in XDA App? I don't think there is a way to do that from a technical standpoint. Interesting thought, though.
[About XDA developers] sparkyryan:
That is exactly what I mean, mainly from twitter and facebook apps as this is where I generally click links from on my phone. It'd be cool to click on a forum link and it ask you if you want to open app or browser.
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
Won't work I'm afraid. It would be messy, as we would need to write a handler overlay to intercept ALL URLs, and detect if they were XDA ones. If so, somehow open tapatalk to the right place. If non-XDA, we would have to pass them onto the browser.

It would be messy, though perhaps possible, but not really a good idea.

I have several CWM backups of Froyo on the internal SD card and odin back to JFD. I test something and done with it. Now, I want to restore back previous froyo backup. I then boot to recovery and reinstall update.zip then restore last CWM backup. It finished without a problem but kept looping at recovery screen. It wouldn't boot up to the restored backup Froyo. What did I do wrong?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] german103:
You were using cm7/miui before restoring to froyo? you have to odin to stock before doing that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
Agreed! You can try to disable voodoo which will revert your system back to rfs and try to restore nandroid, but the safest and surefire way would be to ODIN right from the get. Good luck!:)

**EDIT**

I believe if you always backup your nandroids to PC you should be able to ODIN and restore any nandroid you have stored on your PC at your will.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
There is so much wrong info in these two posts that it's ridiculous.

Read the damn question in the OP.

Back on topic:

You were restoring a nandroid backup of a Froyo ROM with the eclair kernel (from ODINing to JFD). Nandroid backups do not restore kernel or modems so you need to first flash a Froyo kernel and modem before restoring a Froyo nandroid backup.

For the modem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=868774

For the kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=870480

I'd get the ODIN flashable versions from each thread. (You'll probably want KB1 modem or whichever works best for you) and the KB1+Voodoo kernel from the second thread.

Make sure you get the *.tar files for ODIN compatibility.

They just came out so I don't expect miracles but I figured that one of these stretch rubber kind might fit it. However, I hate to add more thickness to the phone so does anyone know of an extra thin one?
[Nexus S Accessories] Carne_Asada_Fries:
You can try a i9023 case as I believe the super LCD Nexus are slightly thicker than the i9020s. I'm not too sure if the thickness is the same as the sprint versions though.

As reported in other thread incipio case fits NS4G without problems, the only "complaint" is that the cutout for power button is not centered but lowered, still it doesn't affect/press the button.

Honestly I had the hard case from best buy and it fit my ns4g better than my tmo ns Im sure any hard case will work with it. That said dont get the platinum hard case from best buy it is garbage. Those gel cases from sprint seemed about the same thickness as the best buy hard case it hit the holster perfectly but i didnt put one on the phone. Instead I went with this

http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onli...ryID=CHS8564R&topPageNumber=0&subPageNumber=0

I am very happy with this case it fastens together very securly and fit even with the invisa-sheild
[Nexus S Accessories] xxproblemzxx:
When I got my ns4g I had the same problem so I got both a red incipio feather and the case/holster combo from sprint

http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onli...ryID=CHS8564R&topPageNumber=0&subPageNumber=0

The incipio fits fine minus the fact that power button is a little off but its really not a problem or a deal breaker. The case from sprint works great and isn't too bulky either, though not as thin as the incipio case. I personally would suggest both.
[Nexus S Accessories] styckx:
Just a heads up. The gel case at the Sprint store sucks.. It's so tight you barely have to touch the phone to turn it on, or key a volume key.. It's really awkward pressing buttons through a layer of gel.
[Nexus S Accessories] XxsydenxX:
Here you go, the phone was very thin to begin with [Coming from an evo mind you] so i wanted to add some bulk using the case, but it doesn't add much at all...very little

How does this phone fit the ZAGG Invisashield? Does it match up well with the power buttons etc?

[Nexus S Accessories] Zorachus:
The Incipio Feather case is perfect. Nice matte black finish, feels great in hand, and us thin, but still overlaps the top of screen which is great.

I know it fits slightly off on my 4G version but that's barely noticable. Looks awesome.

I have the Feather case on my EVO as well, but it does not come up and overlap top of screen, it only goes up 90% on the sides which I do not like. Wish it was designed same as the Nexus-S version.

[Nexus S Accessories] Wiley_11:
Thanks for the heads up. :)
[Nexus S Accessories] herbthehammer:
The clear argyle gel case is what I have. Yes, in the beginning it was a pain in the ass to push the buttons. I tried a little cutting on the case and now it's not so difficult to deal with. I got a brand new exacto knife blade with a tip blade. I put the case on the phone and gently made a surface mark on the top, bottom, left and right of where the buttons actually are. The volume seemed centered correctly but the power wasn't. Anyways, I made my marks with the tip of the knife so I knew where to cut. I went about a millimeter farther than I needed to go on the borders. I removed the phone and put something the same thickness as the phone on the inside of the gel to give me some leverage to carefully make the cutouts in the gel. I didn't try to cut it all in one shot. I made many passes on the line I was cutting until I managed to go all the way through. It doesn't look stock and it's not ocd perfect but it got the job done and the case is still strong. I originally got the two piece with the holster at sprint but I didn't like it quickly when holding it in my hand with a flat palm, the phone would slide down easily in my hand. I was too afraid of that adding to the chance it might fall out of my hand. The gel is still strong, covers all the phone, has a lip on the front where the screen is so it's not flush on the screen and it doesn't interfere with a zagg screen protector. I could post pics if anyone is interested in seeing it.
