If it was at 53% progress I doubt the flashing of the bootloaders had gone wrong. Probably it was in factoryfs.rfs (if it works same way as Odin).

sometimes it takes more time to enter download mode (up to 20 sec).

I tried holding the buttons for upto 1 minute, still no good :/

Take the battery out for 30 min then place it back and see if you can enter Download Mode, If you can't then you have a problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karan_c1990:
After 30 mins, should I PRESS the buttons first and then insert the battry(while keeping them pressed) OR put the battery first and then press the buttons?

UPDATE : I tried it, didn't work.

I guess all left now is to give it for repairs? :/

No, insert the battery then try to enter Download mode.

It seems bad. I think you'll have to go to samsung. I think you can try saying, you were doing an update from kies (froyo -> gingerbread - flashes bootloaders) and then suddenly your PC turned off (power failure) :D. It seems that the phone can boot from USB too, so samsung can repair it without even opening it. Here on xda, there is a thread, where some guys (much more clever than me :)) are trying to figure out the protocol.

[Atrix 4G General] TheScPCrew:
I've flashed back to 1.2.6 as well as hard reset via the default boot menu on the phone (pressing power and volume). My problem is...it unrooted and took me back through the initial setup...but all my files/folders are still on the device...photos, program folders, etc. I'm having to turn it in this week and I need to find a way to clean all this back to its original state.

So my question is this...

Is there a program that can clean this up?

OR...what files/folders are on the phone by default so I can just manually go in and delete off the other files?

Any suggestions? :confused:
[Atrix 4G General] Pirateghost:

[Atrix 4G General] agentscreech:
The android recovery (hold vol down and power while turning on) should do it. If you keep hitting Vol down after the white text pops up on the main loading screen (M with dual-core under it) you will get a ! with the triangle and an little droid dude. Wait a few seconds then tap the lower right hand corner of the screen to get the UI to show (you might have to try it a few times) then scroll down to the recovery and then press the blue ok button on the bottom left, then do the same thing again when it asks you to confirm it.

I had to do the same thing (turn it in) and that wiped it completely.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rmcgraw:
I thought it would be interesting to see what people have done with their devices, now that we can do at least a little bit of customization within WP7. I've seen some pretty smooth looking phones in YouTube videos and around the internet. I'm sure no two customized phones are the same.

Whether it be registry changes, accent customization, theme changes, or whatever, let's see what you've done!

I have mine below, I switch between the grayer shade of blue and the darker red. I can't decide which I like more.

How to Change the background color on Windows Phone

[youtube]VtOPgJ_7Y1s [/youtube]
[Windows Phone 7 General] tombrighteyes:
is there a way to add colors to the background where "dark" and "light" are just like one the other color accents we can do right now? instead of going in and changing the default ones alone?

would like to know, thanks :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] rmcgraw:
Changing the background color is easy. You just need a registry editor such as this and edit the registry key:

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\*\pageBackGroundColor]

* - 1 is dark theme, 0 is light theme

Enter a hex number after #FF, such as #FF40546e for a steel blue.

You may also want to edit these keys:

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\*\Basethemecolor]

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\*\TextHighContrast]

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\*\TextBackGround]

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\*\pageBackGroundColor]

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\*\SysTrayBackGroundColor]

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\*\TextNeutralColor]

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\*\ContrastColor]

Playing around with these should teach you what each changes. To see your changes, switch themes from dark to light and then back or vice versa.

Wow nice phones!
[Windows Phone 7 General] tombrighteyes:
yeah thanks :) that is really helpfull but is there a way to add an extra menu color like when it says "light" and "dark" lets say create a string in the registry to add another drop down menu inside the theme to get one that one makes like lets say "orange" or whatever and change back to those other "light" and "dark" themes without editing them?

just add another one without touching the old ones?

i will try this though, just wanted to know if this was possible before i moved anything :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] colossus_r:
No you can not add new theme ....Just be aware that messing with registry in that level is danger ..Make a backup first

Make the background transparent. The accent color is behind all Icons/Tiles.

Thanks! And I wasn't trying to rip on your icons, the gloss is just not my cup of tea. I'm a boring minimalist. :o
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
No problem, I know, that's why I made both glass & non glass versions. But yes, you can just cut the background out of any Icons/Tiles to have the Accent color show through. Or you could add a semi transparent icon/tile bg so the accent color isn't a flat color. Something like this;

[Windows Phone 7 General] rmcgraw:
Quite easily.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
But there's a tool to backup (and restore) your phone. Helped me pretty much :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] rmcgraw:
If you are referring to my theme in the original post, the background color is:

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\0\pageBackGroundColor]

Value: #FFe1e0ce

The accent color can be found at:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\0\Accents]

I would change the Teal theme, because apps that use the accent color will still be similar, and it is labelled as "8." In order to change this value correctly, you need to enter a DECIMAL value, NOT a HEX value.

DECIMAL Value: 7912112

Only the background of the keyboard can be changed, and the value is:

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\ChromeColor]

If I still had an unlocked device, I'd get you the keys for the dialer, but I bricked my phone and had to get a new one this week. :( It's a Focus with NoDo pre-installed and there are no ROMs to flash to.
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:

[Windows Phone 7 General] freudator:
Hey thanks for the quick reply.....

could you please give me the hex code since im changing it with advanced configuration from shaps..... and i want to change other values as well...

rgds
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
There are a few Decimal to Hex converters on the web :)

Decimal: 7912112 should be Hex: 78BAB0

So I guess you've to enter something like #FF78BAB0 :)

[Windows Phone 7 General] Knochen1981:
Yes its possible but tricky

You need fileexplorer access to windows dir and a registry editor.

Maybe i write a tut in the next days.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
Maybe you can do it faster with a file explorer, but you don't need it :) Here's my method:

Download a registry editor (I recommend WP7 root tools by HEATHCLiFF74. He's a real genius and managed to get full registry access on all (?) WP7 devices. The tool contains other awesome stuff like a file explorer or certificate manager :) But you only need the registry editor.

Open it, go to Local Machine > Control Panel > Themes. Now you have to create a new key/folder (2) and create the same values and entrys than in one of the two already existing folders (0 and 1). One is for black, the other one for white theme. It takes a lot of time as you can't copy =/ The value DisplayName must be the name of the theme, for example "custom". Then you can change the hex values in this theme :)

By the way: I created my theme like this :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Knochen1981:
But thats halfbaked.

You need file explorer if you want to have it 100%

There are system files in windows dir wich you need to duplicate and edit on your pc, in order to have the Apps use the new correct accent and theme colors not the standard ones.

Open an app with your custom accent color and you will see a different one than you created.

Edit:

Ok heres how

Get the according system from phone windows dir files to your PC

0001_System.Windows.xaml

0001_ThemeResources.xaml

0002_System.Windows.xaml

1001_System.Windows.xaml

and so on

The last digit represents the accent color and the first the theme color.

In order to make a new 100% Theme you have to create

2001_System.Windows.xaml

2001_ThemeResources.xaml

for each accent a new one.

Then open up the xaml file with your editor and customize the colors to your new theme.

For example you create a new Orange one from the light xaml then replace the FFFFFF Values with the orange one.

For custom accent colors change the accent color inside the xaml to the newly created.

The copy all files for all accents to the windows dir of your phone.

I have 4 Themes and 20 different accents on each.

So i have 160 xaml files for the 4 Themes.

Maybe i write a more in deep tut if interest is there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
Wow thanks :) Wondered why some apps used black :)

But you also got file system access with root tools :) They're great :)

And it's best to use the backup tool for WP7 (somewhere here on xda, enables backing up and restoring EVERYTIME) because sometimes.. things get complicated ^^ And then the whole "design" section of the phone seems to play crazy and a backup is better than a full reset :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] Knochen1981:
Of course you have to be carefull.

But if you create the system files nothing goes crazy. It goes crazy because you dont have the according system files for the accent colors and new theme :)

If you create them copy to dir then reboot, it will never go crazy again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
It was damaged because I named some entries incorrect (e.g. missing letter). My theme worked fine for Windows Phone itself but not for all the downloaded apps - that's what the system file is for :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Knochen1981:
nope. if you create a new accent on the new theme and dont have the system files the design section goes crazy. it still works but the background color of the design section change from orange to black or white.

when you put the system files from the accent in windir before you create the accent in registry then it wont happen. can be reproduced 100 times.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
Exactly what I meant :)

If you forget the system file, the design section looks strange and some apps may not use the color =/

If you create some entries wrong named or forget them completely you can't enter the design section anymore and the registry editor (and all the other apps) won't start anymore =/ That's why a backup is useful and helped me a lot :)

A tutorial with more extras would be awesome! :)

Hi,

All candybar phones with a touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard, like i.e. HTC ChaCha, Motorola Droid Pro, Blackberry Bold (Touch) 9900 and the like, have a reasonably small display. And when it comes to touchscreen and especially viewing contents, the following applies: the bigger the screen the better. To this date, Motorola Droid Pro is the one with the largest screen, measuring at 3.1" (very old phones don't count).

I personally like candybar phones with physical keyboard, because it has the best of both worlds. Pushing the "touchscreen world" to the limits has proven to be a challenge for manufacturer, because phones with such form factor can't just have a ever-increasing screen size. For example, a candybar phone with a 5" touchscreen + QWERTY keyboard could be very uncomfortable to use it daily.

So according to you, what screen size will (or could) be the maximum for a candybar phone with a front-facing physical QWERTY keyboard??

[Important note: screen size should be a reasonable one, because I'm talking about a phone, not a tablet that has a usual 5"+ screen.]

Here a link with phones with such form factor:

Long time lurked, first time poster so I can't post to Development threads.

I have loaded Synergy GingerSense and Nils Business GingerSense, loving them both.

I am having a time and weather issue on Synergy. I live in Central time zone but the phone keeps going to Eastern time -network time option is on. Does not do that on Nils and or the earlier Nils Business Sense rom. The other odd thing is the Sense weather app keeps defaulting me to Baltimore.

I usually load GoLauncher and the weather app associate with that puts me in the correct locations.

WiFi on or off and GPS on or off does not seem to matter.

Also, anyone know if I can get the keyboard from Nils GingerSense rom into Synergy? Several of the other keyboards I have used in the Z Roms either force close or obscure the typing window when replying to email in the GingerSense rooms. Nils version of the keyboard works soooo well.
