[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] TheTehk17:
The launcher found in touchwiz 4.0 is more deeply rooted to the system then just an .apk. It relies on a few files in the framework, AKA the skin known as TouchWiz. You will see that it'll run fine on any phone with Touchwiz 4.0 (GS &GSII) but nothing else- until we add the files the launcher needs in the framework to the launcher itself. Or make it independent of those files at all.

I'm researching everything right now. I can't be the one to do this, but I can figure out how to do it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kylecore:
Basically I'm looking for an app that works the way MIUI handles receiving a new message. For those who don't know it goes as follows:

Instead of just displaying an icon notification MIUI actually visually shows you the entire message with the text box underneath, tapping the text box makes my keyboard come up allowing me to respond immediately all while still seeing what was happening prior to the text coming in the background. Once i hit send the message goes away and i'm back to whatever i was doing. (even though i never left and could see it the whole time)

Whats so great about this?

I don't have to pull down the notification tab, select the message, wait for it to open, respond, then hit back until hopefully back to where i left off.

Its all done over top of what i was doing seamlessly.

Is there an app like this for when i may want to try something other then MIUI? If not, someone needs to really make this.

EDIT :

great suggestions given and listed below.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kylecore:
had it for a bit, it would display a pop up notification, but when i hit reply it would take me to go sms messaging app and out of what i was doing. Once i was done with sending the message i'd still have to exit out of the convo thread and the messaging app itself to get back to where i was.

Not quite what i'm looking for.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] whaave:
I use this the way you described in the OP. I answer directly in the popup, and hitting "Send" just sends the message, and closes the popup. Unless I've received multiple messages in which case I can answer them all one by one. I can also scroll this popup to read the individual messages. I urge you to try again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kylecore:
thanks for all the suggestions guys!

although i would like to continue using the standard messaging app and not move to a new one.

Regardless i will update the first post with links to your suggestions :)

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpenDev:
Hi All ...

Any idea when 3.1 will be available for the WIFI version , also if it will be OTA ?

Also i didn't get any OTA update since i got my XOOM (3 weeks ago) , is this normal?

My current version:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MitchRapp:
3 weeks without an OTA is normal - most updates are separated by months (consider yourself lucky it's not a Sony Ericsson device... it's more like a YEAR haha)

patience - the new update will show up for the wifi-xoom soon enough. Keep checking this forum.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:

[Atrix 4G General] sw33ndawg:
Which do you guys recommend?
[Atrix 4G General] MrCooper2012:
If you have any intentions of keeping your phone in a pocket, then I would steer clear of the Defender. I got one right after I bought my Atrix, and I maybe had it on for a total of 30 minutes.

It makes it difficult at best to get in and out of pockets, and whatever rubber they use will attract lint from pants you don't even remember owning.

It's probably a great case if you have a man purse or have an affinity for genie pants, but I think for the average joe it's just a bit bulky.

Oh and the screen protector kinda gives a rainbow effect. Overall I was not impressed by the case that so many had raved about.

-Doogs™
[Atrix 4G General] sw33ndawg:
Thanks for the quick response. Have you tried the Commuter?
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Defender is made for belt clip, commuter is made for pockets, impact is silicon case for purses, etc!

All you have to do is go to the Otterbox website to see this!

Otterbox - Atrix

Screen protector rainbow effect is a very well known issue. There are solutions for this, one using baby powder, the other using the natural oil on your fingers. Both easily found with Google.
[Atrix 4G General] sw33ndawg:
Thank you.
[Atrix 4G General] rocketboy6885:
Unless your planning on running your phone over with a truck, The Otter Box Commuter is amazing. I currently have it on my Atrix "4G" and it works as advertised. I've dropped mine from a 25 foot cat walk and have it survive. Also i've thrown it against a wall multiple times to brag about how well it works.

Otter Box Commuter :)
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
I have the Defender and the Impact.

First and foremost let me say this, Don't waste a dime on the Impact! It is a HIGHLY OVERPRICED Gel Skin Case slapped with the Otterbox name on it.

I know the link was posted above showed all 3, but definitely steer clear from the Impact.

As for the Defender, it's will easily protect your phone if you don't mind wearing it on your belt. It it definitely not the case to purchase if you are gonna have it in your pocket. (way to much of a PITA to take in and out)

As for the Defender Case itself, it's a "Bomb Shelter" and basically turns your Atrix into a rugged Motorola Defy (minus the submerged water test)

Bottom line -

Defender - Best Case for Outside Belt Wear

Commuter - Good for the pockets

Impact - Overpriced Junk!

Hope that helps... :)
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
I have debated buying the Commuter. Suits me more as I play pocket pool with my Atrix! Still contemplating whether I will lose the silky smooth feeling I get when I put my hand in my pocket if I use one instead of the nude Atrix!

I had the Defender on my iPhone 3GS, but got tired of bumping it off getting in and out of the car. Glad it was on there, cos' it sure did protect the phone when it got knocked off my belt and smashed on the concrete.

Impact............what he said -------> ccrows
[Atrix 4G General] sw33ndawg:
Thanks everyone! Went with the Commuter. I'll write up a quick review when it comes in tomorrow.
[Atrix 4G General] dingleberry1:
I have the Commuter. Works pretty well, has survived several drops without issue. It makes the phone much easier to securely hold as well.

I used the included screen protector for a week or so and couldn't stand the feel vs the naked glass. Took the protector off and I have no plans to replace it.
[Atrix 4G General] msd24200:
i have the defender (love it), but in my line of work I needed something that was rugged, so alot of it just depends on what it is that you do.
[Atrix 4G General] airprakken:
I use the commuter and carry mostly in a shirt pocket. It makes the phone a bit less slippery, which is good for a shirt pocket.

I do not use the screen protector. The only problem I have ever had is drops which dent corners. The commuter does that very well without a screen protector.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaker.the.skater:

you can then click on them separately and kill them as needed

[Thunderbolt General] newbaysie:
I hit the back up rom button in rom manager and it went to the htc screen. Its the screen that you see when you first turn on the phone. Its still on that screen for 10 mins now should I pull the battery or wait another 10 min? I have a thunderbolt btw. any advice greatly appreciated. thx
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
Did you flash ClockwordMod Recovery through ROM Manager before trying to make a backup? Pull the battery and reboot. If you didn't flash CWM then you need to do that. It's the first option at the top of the menu in ROM Manager.
[Thunderbolt General] feedhead:
I just had this happen couple days ago. Seems like Recovery went wonky. Pull battery & when you boot get back into Rom Manager > Menu > Clear Download Cache > Then go into Menu > Setting > Check Erase Recovery ... Hit Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and it will download and reinstall recovery.
[Thunderbolt General] stedrocklp:
I think a battery pull is in order. Did you go to backup and restore > backup? I have never had an issue when it comes to backing up my current rom/setup in cwm so I dont know what the issue could be.
[Thunderbolt General] newbaysie:
I just did that. Should I hit backup current Rom again? Maybe I should leave it alone. I don't want to damage the phone. I did back up my rom when i first rooted the phone with rom manager but i couldn't find it in the sd card and I couldn't see it under manage and restore backups. this is so discouraging. Oh one thing I should mention. I didn't update to the lastest version of rom manager. Could that be the problem?
[Thunderbolt General] Cubs2008:
I would definitely update to the latest version of ROM Manager and flash the latest recovery (should be 3.0.2.5 if it's not already.) There were issues with the previous version of CWR.
[Thunderbolt General] feedhead:
Absolutely update to latest version of Rom Manager then certainly try to run a backup.
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
Making a backup isn't going to damage the phone. You should always make a backup before flashing anything (ROMs, themes, kernels, radios). That way you have something stable to revert to incase what you flash ****s up your phone.

Your backups will be on the SD card under clockworkmod/backup.

Update ROM Manager, flash CWM and try making a backup.
[Thunderbolt General] Heelfan71:
if you click manage and restore backups and select "restore" it should be there. If not, you can back up your current rom through Recovery, think it says "backup current" or similar.
[Thunderbolt General] Turd Furguson:
Another option to try is a full uninstall. Then redownload Rom Manager.
[Thunderbolt General] newbaysie:
Ok I updated to the latest version and backing up my rom right now. Its seems to be working. Thanks everyone for your help. I'm a noob at this. What is the difference if I back up with the app titanium backup vs rom manager? It seems everybody that rooted their phone have these apps. I always thought they both have similar functions.
[Thunderbolt General] jamesiaustin:
I had the same problem. I just turned off fastboot and everything worked fine.
[Thunderbolt General] DroidTh3ory:
Use Clockwork... ROM Mangler always causes issue. What's true in life?? Cut out the middle man and go straight to the source. Uninstall Rom Mangler/Download Quickboot/Get your ROMS from here and leave the heavy work to Clockwork. My opinion.

:)

Sent frommy HTC ThunderBolt 4G LTE.
[Thunderbolt General] TheStick13:
Not sure what to say about it not being under "Manage and Restore Backups," but it should be on your SD card under /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup.

Titanium Backup can back up all of your apps, data, and settings, but not your ROM (operating system), so TB can restore all of that stuff regardless of the ROM you're using (for the most part).

ROM Manager/ClockworkMod backups (aka Nandroid backups) take a full image of your phone (apps, data, settings, ROM, messages, etc) in one simple operation, so that when you restore that backup, your phone will be ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL to the way it was when you took the backup.

Personally, I do a nandroid backup right before flashing a new ROM, and again after I get all of my settings the way I like them. That way, I have a restore point in case I completely eff up my phone. I do a Titanium Backup of my apps and settings right before switching to a different ROM (anytime that I have to clear the phone's cache for a ROM install), so that once the new ROM is installed, I can get my phone back up and running the way I like it faster. So, yes, they do a lot of the same things, but have very different uses. Hopefully that made sense! It did in my head, but that doesn't always translate well, lol!
[Thunderbolt General] newbaysie:
This makes alot of sense. Oh the reason the backup file is not on the sdcard was the first backup was never backup. I just assumed it backup when I hit "backup current rom" Thank god I didn't flash my rom. If something went wrong I have nothing to go back to. Thanks for the info it was very helpful.

not neccessarily, samsung would have to opt into this by the looks of it

[Galaxy S I9000 General] cHarOn99:
that for sure only will start for new device which will come with Google Ice Cream Sandwich.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] freakdahouse:
With more than 10 Million devices sold, I imagine that the Galaxy S will be part of the program.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrGreencastle:
Even though Samsung is in on the deal (which is not surprising), it's still ultimately up to the carriers for when and how Android versions are released on what devices.

Samsung is pretty much leading the charge when it comes to releasing updated versions of Android for their Galaxy S phones, as well as releasing the kernel source.

The problem is most carriers don't update the phones with Samsung's releases quick enough for some people, if ever. Here in Canada, we're still (officially) on 2.2 Froyo for the i9000m. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] electrotune1200:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] got-petrol:
It takes samsung 18 month to update a phone so you will only get one update anyway

An "Ice Cream Sandwich" does not contain any bread. It may just be too cold in pommie land to truly appreciate them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Geryatrix:
Some people just like to distort the truth for effect.

I've had my SGS for a year and in that time I've gone from 2.1 to 2.2 to 2.2.1 and now to 2.3.

That is three updates in 12 months which is equivalent to one update every 4 months.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:

we dont call them 'ice cream sandwiches' over here lol,

as if anyone would eat ice cream and bread:o:o
[Galaxy S I9000 General] agnivo007:

As long as the OS is released from samsung and available on place like SamFirmware, you'll get tons of custom roms in here. Carier are only providing an "official" rom with bloatware, you can use any rom if you want. That's the beauty of Android and SGS: Both are so easy to do, it's childplay!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theskymoves:
Actually that's a damn good reason why we won't get the update. If some of those 10mil upgrade to get the latest software.

Also if they did chose to upgrade us, it means a lot more hassle for them with support and actually having to work on code.
