When i had my DHD, i loved Revolution Theme by he_stheone64

one thing i missed when moving over to my beloved SGSII was the themed Google search widget.

I pushed it staright to system/app/

and it works beautifully.

Thought id upload it here.

For some reason you get 2 icons added to app list, Maybe needs looking at.

But Market works as far as i can tell
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cheekystew:
Been wanting this for ages. Thanks alot
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cheekystew:
Do you have anymore loving the black theme mate

EDIT: market search didn't work for me so I used root explorer event to vending.apk and changed owner to 1000-systems, rebooted and all was fixed. Love the new look
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] skaif:
Hi, just installed this and have the same problem, can't search market! I have root explorer, can you provide instructions on the fix?

Much appreciated

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sexpest699:
Right figured it out. Open root explorer navigate to system/app find vending.apk hold for options

Click permissions

Set user group and other to read

Set user write

Then untick all other boxs.

Hope this helped
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cheekystew:
Go to root explorer, system, apps press+hold on vending.apk, Vito change owner, 1000-system. Also make sure your read-wright at top of screen. Reboot.

DONE!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bgx:
Black Market worked! Thx!

Also have Black gmail and black dialer; But need of black gtalk. All versions I found FC. Somebody has a black gtalk for me?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] the_Calen:
fixed the search bug only by rebooting without changing permissions, maybe i was just lucky :)

I pushed this badboy to my phone, rebooted and everything worked fine for me as well. Thanks for this great mod.

Ehm ehrr... cough cough... never tried looking at general Android forum in Themes subsection? XDA is so big and this is only a small part of it but most of the times the bigger gifts came from other sections than sgs2 one ;)

Edit: and don't forget to check the android apps forum as well :p

Umm ... When I try to install the API, I am told it cannot be installed. Is there some trick I need to know please? Al other apk files install ok.

Help please ...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sexpest699:
You do not install it by clicking, you have to push. Apk's to system/app/ using adb or file explorer like root explorer
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sexpest699:
Then reboot obviously
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] aussie_boi:
Okies, thanks. Didn't realize it was a system file, and didn't think of that at 3am, haha. Installed now :)

In an attempt to root my Nexus S I flashed by boot image and now I'm hanging on the google startup logo. I've tried restoring to a number of factory boot img's but still with the same result

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamice4u:
The Samsung Epic is better than the EVO hardware wise in every way except of the HDMI port. Why are developers turned off with the Epic? Is it because of the lack of source code for the hardware drivers? Is it because we have a smaller community so their is not much profit for developers? Is it because of the backlash of the Samsung Moment? Or is it because EVO came out with a phone that needed much improvement so developers have a better market in the EVO section? Or maybe Evo users are more tech savay than Epic users? I believe if all the developers can get cyanogenmod working for the Epic I believe this will turn the tide. If have seen a lot of post were people are leaving the Epic because the HTC devices have more rom variety. This Samsung Epic is a great phone the reason I purchased mine because it is a solid phone. We some great developers we have a few but they are very good. In my opinion cyanogenmod will open the door for all different kinds of Roms and not just Touchwiz based roms. I want to thank the developers who are currently working on cyanogenmod it is a lot of hard work I just wish you guys had more help. I believe this would be a great time for the developers to come together and see if they can get cyanogenmod 7 working since there won't be much rom action until the source code for the official gingerbread hits.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSaint:
i Believe they pick most of the time because of marketing as you can tell sprint marketed the hell out of the Evo... i've seen maybe 4 Epic commercial in total...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silver03wrx:
Evo was the first 4g phone. Also much more advertisement. Sprints flagship. Attracted much more customers. Yes the epic is better but sprint hyped up the evo much much more therefore creating a larger population of evo owners vs epic owners
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris41g:
Because they have been around forever, this site was built around htc phones...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSaint:
Not really I mean shells yes it would mean alot for us ... but as far as getting newer developers I doubt it sadly. They'll probably get something else now with dual cores all over the place
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resetreflectt:
I agree entirely. I actually came from an Evo. Great phone, but I needed a keyboard.

So far the Epic is a better experience, and it's pretty fun finally using Touchwiz, even though it's a slimmed down version of it (sad face, I wanted the puzzle lock)

I can say, that the Evo does have better development. I lost count of how many different roms I would use on that thing. And they're still getting better, especially those newer Sense ports.

And here? I've had it for like two months and all I've tried is EE03 Swiss Cheese, which I ended up taking off because of how terrible the lag was, and the one I'm currently on. Simply AOSP, but with the Gingerbread launcher for a close to stock gingerbread.

That's about it. All these roms are boring. And they don't look too great.

I hope CM7 gets finished soon, tried to use it and it got stuck on the Samsung screen.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
Th reson the vibrant has working cm7 is because that phone is the same as the international i9000 so everything the i9000 gets is easly ported over to the vibrant. And the interantional i9000 has had a gingerbread sourse code for a minute.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iModMM:
The reason the devolopment is better and everyone thinks evo is better than epic because the EVO was marketed the hell out of. It was first 4G phone and had biggest screen at the time. Sprint advertised this thing everywhere! Epic hasn't been advertised not once! They advertised the EVO shift over the Epic! That's why they are more devs in evo devolopment. But people don't understand epic is better hardware wise. Epic screen compared to EVO, evo looks like complete shi*! We have a keyboard. I believe our processor runs smoother and faster than theirs. Camera is amazing! Evo is just way too big, 4in is good enough! There's more comparisons, but people don't get that because the media fooled them.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
The Evo has better development because of three things:

1.Popularity, the more people who buy a device the more developers there are available and the more demand for features. That's why Cyanogen himself helped with the port to the Evo.

2. Hardware, the Evo was the first device on Sprint with some truly top-tier hardware, not to mention the first 4.3inch Android device, HDMI out,and a FFC.

3. Hardware similarities to the Nexus 1, providing a code base to work off of along with a timely update to Froyo.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AXHEJAZ:
Hi XDA DEVELOPERS, can you find an auto root software for the new gingerbread 4.22.651.2 update? I didn't know when you update to the new 4.22.651.2 gingerbread; you can't use any of the previous rooting programs to root a phone such as the Evo 4G. I would really appreciate your help or the help of the forum community, because i really want to root my Evo 4G Thanks. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mcgriff1985:
I would agree I got my new phone today (old one was broken and was rooted) and I cant seem to root my new phone I have 4.22.651.2, 2.3.3 AV, and 2.15_003 PRI. If you can point me to a rooting solution I would greatly appreciate it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] (•.•):
how about rooting it yourself ??

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KFlannigan5:
Is there any sign of root for the 4.22.651.2 update? my replacement came with it and this Sprint garbage is horrible. I had MIUI previously and miss root access. Unfortunately I'd have no idea where to start to look to do it myself.....So is there anything going on with it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] EnderTheThird:
I'm in the same boat. The right 1cm of my screen stopped responding to touch input, so they sent me a replacement with 4.22.651.2 and 2.15.00.05.02 baseband. Really missing root and CM7 right now!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] garak0410:
I am loving my SAMSUNG INFUSE...I am nearing my 30 day return policy and I've been tempted to go get the AT&T HDC HD7s only because I've had my eye on WP7 for a very long time...but I realize that while that phone was pretty good when it was released with T-Mobile, it's hardware is aging and even Mango isn't enough to lure me...here's why:

Front Facing Camera: I've used it several times when my daughter and I are out and want to snap a shot together. My wife and I have also used Qix video chat a few times a week to chat at lunch.

4G: Yeah, it's not "real" 4G but it counts...

Customization: If I want a totally new launcher screen (live tiles on WP7), I can go from my built in touchwiz, to LauncherPro or my currently in use SPB Shell 3D. I like having "tiles" of screens of categories of apps/functions. On the flip side, I DO like live tiles in WP7. I did convince someone to purchase a WP7 and I played around with it for a while and it seemed more like SPB Shell in a sense...nice look, low utility value.

Here is my "day to day" that I use with my Infuse

Outlook Syncing: I sync Contacts, Calendar, Tasks AND Notes via Companionlink/DejaOffice...it works rather well...not as clean as ActiveSync did but it works well and wirelessly. I used ActiveSync for 4-5 years and simply can't live without syncing with Outlook.

Remtoe Desktop: When I get paged, in a pinch, the VPN and Remote Desktop (especially Citrix receiver) come in handy with my Android Phone.

Dropbox: I am a heavy DropBox user. I know better SkyDrive functions are coming with Mango but I need this now. I can also do the same with SkyDrive on Droid with an app called Sorami.

I am not trashing WP7 at all...just couldn't take a step back for 18-24 months (contract). The HD7 is a fine phone but it does lack some in the camera area compared to the Infuse. Considering I don't want to lose my most important features now, I could really never leave Android...they are now leading the pack in terms of being cutting edge...thoughts?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DarkDvr:
Personally, not a fan of WM7 at all. Used WM devices in pre-android era and loved it, but as soon as I saw the horrific (personal opinion) WM7 interface, immediatly switched to android and never looked back.

In my opinion, the whole design idea of WM7 (partial display of a big palette with info) is ballsy, but incredibly stupid.

Personal opinions aside, WM7 has many limitations which I won't list here. Also, their sales are terribad, Microsoft just confirmed that themselves (see engadget). Also, merger with Nokia (WM7 may suffer from that), slow buggy updates (Mango, cut/paste).. Plus, u'll be throwing away the huge android community.

My personal advice is that switching from Android to WM7 is an all-around a really bad idea.

But, your decision.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
not really. i used to laugh at the guys that started all the " can we port wp7 to the captivate" threads, i couldnt understand what the appeal was when andriod already had a huge comunity and range of hardware. i think the vertical scrolling is a good idea if you keep the number of apps down. it is good as a phone but not good as a smart phone.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] tankmorph:
WP7 is really good at basic functions like phone calls, texting, pictures, sharing pictures, email, etc. The lack of apps is the real deal-breaker for me. I generally like it, though.
[Android Software Development] mtrax:
I have recently got a Samsung Galaxy phone after having a HTC Legend which the Calendar App on Sense when notifying a calender notification turned on screen so you didn't have to unlock screen to see event description and could dismiss it without more clicks.

So can anyone point me in the direction of how to code a notification App which has a popup on screen regardless if screen is off.

eg similar to handcent.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
I got my phone setup the way I wanted and decided to go ahead and reboot to RA and back it up. The back up went fine. When it finished I told it to reboot and it got stock in a boot loop I haven't seen before. It goes past the splash screen at starts the boot animation. The boot animation I have is one that loops through 70 or 80 png's. It will go through maybe the first 9 or 10 and then the boot animation starts all over again. It will not go past this screen. Any ideas what is causing this? I am getting ready to flash again and see if I can bring it back to life.

I did a nandroid of Giger yesterday before I flashed Mik 1.01, and I rebooted in between. No bootloop, but my Widget Locker was acting weird, Missed it Widget was only 2/3's showing and few other minor issues, which is odd. Never had that happen after a Nandroid before

Hello All

I have been using Windows Mobile all this while, but the

Galaxy S2

had to replace my old Windows Samsung, which makes me new to Android. Just like a new born :o

I have gone through a few posts, but the more I read, the more confused I get :confused: and more questions creep in, and here I am with them.

Windows Mobile has MSC, NB0 and CSC's. How does Android compare to this and what does flashing them with a custom one do?

Is there an option to backup my stock rom before trying something new/cooked?

What does Rooting the phone mean?

I like the theme 'http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098781', but it says only for deodexed roms. What is a Deodexed Rom?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPRobber:
No. You need a custom recovery to backup the whole phone, but you can always download a stock ROM from the internet and install that.

Admin/Superuser access. You need it to delete system applications and run apps like Titanium Backup. If you don't have any app that needs root and don't want to mess with the /system folder, don't root just yet.

Villain ROM is a deodexed ROM. I'm not exactly sure about the technical details but it has something to do with the format of system APKs.
[Galaxy S II General] donharden2002:
Just saw that famed captivate developer designgears had bought himself an sgs2.

He also said in his post that he has been working on cognition for ke7.

I for one can't wait, I've used cognition on my captivate. It was actually the very first android rom that I ever flashed.

Just thought I'd pass this along.
[Galaxy S II General] ale922:
Not to bash on anyone but i come from an atrix 4g, sold it to buy a gs2, designgears was on the atrix forums offering help on a bootloader unlock/bypass method. A lot of people donated to him so he could buy an atrix and help with the bootloader. Once he got the money and the atrix, he bailed and never again appeared on the atrix forums. If you go there, there is a lot of hate towards designgears because of this.

He was great in the captivate forum. I've always enjoyed his roms. Both perception and cognition
[Galaxy S II General] tjjensen23:
I Dont blame him for leaving the atrix ;)
[Galaxy S II General] ale922:
I dont blame him either, but if a bunch of people donated money for you to get an atrix and then he bails once he gets it, the least he can do is give the money back, or donate the atrix to another developer that is truly interested in helping the atrix community, and doesnt just want a free phone

Enviado desde mi GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II General] Sebring5:
I purchased the Atrix 4G. One of the reasons was designgears. When he bailed I bailed shortly thereafter. I certainly agree with his decision to abandon Atrix. Has anyone asked him about all this? Send him a private message, maybe he is not as bad as you think.
[Galaxy S II General] varunkumars:
I have used his perception ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] ale922:
Yes, i used his perception and cognition on my captivate also, im not saying his roms are bad, actually, cognition was one of the best roms available for the captivate IMO. Im just saying that i dont agree with his behaviour towards the atrix community. It was a good phone with to many restraints, many people beleived designgears could help and donated money so designgears could get an atrix and help. What he did was just take the money and bail.

This doesnt mean his roms are bad, and if he gets a rom out for the sgs 2 im sure itll be great and illl probable use it, but i still think what he did is wrong. Maybe he returned the atrix or the money, but last i knew, lots of atrix members still want their money back

Enviado desde mi GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II General] designgears:
Keep reading...

lets not forget about all the rooting, rom scripts and such I put work into even after I got rid of the POS.

And for the record, once I got the money, I bought the phone, I kept it a full 30 days, went thru 6 phones working on bootloader unlocks and problematic units.

The Atix was then swapped out for the inspire which I promptly put a rom out for. My captivate fans wanted updates, so I swapped the inspire for another captivate and went back to work on that. Again they requested I get an SGS2 and make a rom, so, here I am, down to bug fixes and prepping for a release soon.

Still no bootloader unlock for the Atrix. Why put up with that crap when phone makers like Samsung and HTC encourage us?

The sgs2 is a world class device I will support for some time to come. I don't take donations for my own personal gain, sure, it says buy me a beer, and I buy a few from time to time, but most of the donations go to new devices. (I use an iPhone4 as my primary device and I have a day job as a programmer)

But hey, haters gunna hate... and I'm ok with that... If I wasn't I would have been long gone.

98% of people that donated for the atrix donated to the sgs2 fund. Truly, just a few pricks trolling up the Atrix board.

I have stated my reasons so many, many times now, they don't listen...

read above
[Galaxy S II General] blunted09:
I was part of the atrix forums and it was a little edgy at times. Great potential but bootloader was locked and motoblur installed to make things worse. You donate to a developer for best efforts not pay for a job.

Gl with the rom dude...your gonna love this phone.
[Galaxy S II General] designgears:
Thanks, send me a PM and you can check out the preview build when it's ready ;)
[Galaxy S II General] donharden2002:
I loved your captivate roms, they are legendary. I followed you to the atrix also. Once I realized there wasn't going to be unlocked I bailed on it and bought a nexus s.

Got bored very quickly with it and sold it. Bought an infuse (too much like a captivate) got rid of it and am now a happy owner of the sgs2.

I'm looking forward to your work. I can't blame anyone for walking away from the atrix. And I appreciate all the work you put into it.

No hate will ever come from me towards any devs. The work you guys do is amazing.

Thank you

Forgot to ask, are you bringing Adam with you or is he still doing work on the inspire?
