Hello everyone ;)

I've created a small tool which I use to install themes on my phone. It's only small project I created for people, who want to change theme in the easiest way. And I want to share with you.

I don't know if it's working properly - but I have no problems with it :p I hope it will be working without any bugs :D

I'm not responsible if your phone/PC will explode or anything!

Features

-create signed update.zip with your framework

-possibility to add additional apk (like modded apps)

-possibility to move created update.zip to microSD card and reboot phone to recovery mode

-move your apk files directly to /system folder

-backup your files before changing

-checking if other adb processes are running

-english translation (I've made it very quickly, so there might be some mistakes - forgive me :P )

You have to have full root for adb to use directly moving apk files!

Requirements

-.NET Framework 3.5 (App created with Visual C#)

-Java

Works like charm!!!

EDIT: update.zip is made but it's not compressed..You can fix this
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] benzyniarz1:

update.zip can be compressed? I thought if I compressed, it wouldn't work. I don't remember where, but I had read it somewhere.

UOT kitchen seems now to be somewhat compatible with u8800, somewhile back when i tried, i just got an error.

Basicly you pull your framework-res.apk from /system/framework and upload it to the UOT Kitchen, theme it to your choosing and cook, wait for it to work and then it puts out .zip ready to flashed from recovery.

I made one with super circle battery with % and all sense style black status bar. Only (big?) bug i found that clock color is still black when it should be white... So some quick way of fixing that and then all would be good.

So give it a try! But better to have an up to date backup, for case of boot loops. Some mods may not be compatible...?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sanpsa:
Clock color is in the services.jar, thats why it didnt change. I used services.jar from the GB theme and now i have a white clock color. Could post a sample screenshot later...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sentiment:
Thanks, OUT Kitchen works great for x5 now.

PS. bootanimations doesn't work, atleast on my x5 the stock bootanimation file is on another place than these three listed in kitchen, i also tried to manually replace bootanimation (bios-animation from kitchen), but it didnt show anything, just booted up with black background.

I used stockwells service.jar from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112891

Works great with black status-bars.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tcm9669:
bootanimations work fine.. make sure you put them in system/media AND the .zip file is NOT compressed. If it's compressed it displays blank screen.

[Thunderbolt General] engagedtosmile:
So my just powers off, doesn't matter what state the battery in. It does not reboot. It just turns off. I have no idea what is causing this and I have been running this setup for awhile now without problems.

ROM: BAMF Stripped 1.7

Kernel: leanKernel 1.92x

Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt General] thewebsiteisdown:
You're burning up the CPU from overclocking it?

Asside from that obvious first, thought. I'm leaning more and more towards the fact that these sd cards are having issues wiping the info off of them. You know, the one that comes with the phone that's 32GB.

I've noticed that with mine I keep having issues seeing partitions and wiping old information off of the sdcard for that matter.

I won't delve to much in to details but I know for a fact that a couple of times that I've told my phone to wipe info from the sdcard, it leaves stuff behind and i tshows when I boot up in to my freshly installed ROM what ever it may be at the time.

I've even gone as far as booting in to gparted only to see that it doesn't see the partition...
[Thunderbolt General] engagedtosmile:
I have caught it saying that the SD card was inaccessible but I don't see why that would make it power down. I lowered the overclock back down to 1.4ghz to see if it helps.
[Thunderbolt General] SamZzz:
Just curious.. but are you running the "new" radio that came out with the OTA update? (Obviously not the official OTA, but the leaked version? and no I don't mean GB radio).

Hubby's phone started doing this after he got the OTA. I wasn't even rooted at the time but the new radio started causing his phone to shut down. Mine which was rooted and had received the leaked and rooted version of the OTA was rebooting at random times throughout the day.

This weekend I flashed them both back to the previous radio (Combo #2 in the obligatory radio post) and they've been running ever since with no shutdowns or reboots.
[Thunderbolt General] thewebsiteisdown:
I have mine set to 1.4. There's no reason besides for epenus to really go over that IMO. You don't want to burn the CPU up. Even at 1.4 you need to find out if it likes to be undervolted or uber undervolted as well. Mine was happy with uber undervolt then on the next couple kernels that came out that changed to the undervolted so..

That part is a crap shoot. The sd card is deffinately causing some funky behavior IMO. Probably not shutting down like you said but funky things none the less and I really wish I could get a better handle on it.

I had a program the other day on my computer that seen the partitions fine and now none of them do that I try. I don't know if I'm using the wrong app now or what...

I'm busy getting ready to move in to a house right now though so I'll get to it more later I suppose for now I'm chilling on GB.

I agree with Sam as well a little I suppose but Sam, factory resetting the phone is supposed to fix the new ota update issue or atleast it did for my wifes phone. That was per HTC's advice that we tried that with hers and hers is unrooted not even touched and it stopped it so..

Some people say it didn't work for them but that's neither here nor there..
[Thunderbolt General] engagedtosmile:
I play a lot of PSX on my phone and the few FPS helps sometime. Also helps with the audio becoming choppy.

And yes, this is the leaked radio but I have been using it since day one. I lowered it to 1.4ghz and I think was it. The rise in temperature outside probably wasn't helping.
[Thunderbolt General] thewebsiteisdown:
Sweet glad I could help. You should thank me and Samxxx :p.
[Thunderbolt General] engagedtosmile:
It happened again last night so it wasn't the OC afterall, I am on the stock radio now.
[Thunderbolt General] engagedtosmile:
Happened again with stock radio, I'm out of ideas as to what is causing it.
[Thunderbolt General] ska.t73:
Mine did this a couple times. I read some stats and realized it was reading the battery as dead when it would happen. So I took the battery out and made sure it was in firmly and correctly, made sure the battery door was on tight and it never happened again.
[Thunderbolt General] dlongb13:
Is the phone actually powering off or is it just not waking up? If its not waking up then its just undervolted to much. I would try another kernel that's not as undervolted.
[Thunderbolt General] engagedtosmile:
Powers off completely.

I think I found the issue, it's the hardware. If I put any pressure on it or if it bends a little, it will power off like its shorting out. (Happens mostly in my pocket while sitting.) Going to talk to verizon about it.
[Thunderbolt General] thewebsiteisdown:
Bad thing is you don't like to use the thank you button so I won't be helping you any more at this point.
[Thunderbolt General] engagedtosmile:
lol okay.

heres your thanks.

Thanks.
[Thunderbolt General] LaDamian:
My phone seems to be having a similar issue. I'm running BamfGingerRemix 2.1, the MR2 radio, with Nerozehl's Dream Kernel, overclocked to 1.4Ghz, and with swap enabled. The low clock speed is 368.

I have no idea what is causing it, but I'm pretty sure the phone is actually off. I have to do a battery pull before I can get it to boot. This has happened 3 times over the past 3 days. If it happens again, I'm going to call myself from my roommate's phone to see if it is truly off.

I know it isn't from the battery being too low because last night after I got it rebooted, the battery was at 99% (it was on the charger when I tried to wake it). I'm hoping this isn't a sign of something bad coming to my phone.
[Thunderbolt General] ilovesoad:
I've heard some people call this the sleep of death? I'm on aosp (both cm7 and OMFGB) and I've seen this a few times. Werid eh?

Edit: I'm on the 402w1 radio
[Thunderbolt General] Mr_Joshua:
My phone would also not wake up a few times when I was running various BAMF Roms - I should note that I have only run their ROMs since rooting the phone. It seemed to happen a few minutes after sending a text, not every time but randomly. I haven't changed any of the defaults regarding overclocking, so it would seem strange if that was the reason. I also don't know if it was off, or if it just wouldn't wake up because I had to pull the battery to get it running again.

However, I have been running the newest 3.0 RC3 for a couple of days and haven't seen it happen at all.

When creating an entry in the calendar, it does not give me the option to add it to my Google calendar, just pc sync. Any idea on how to fix?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k-c-0:
The first step to solve your problem could be to provide more information.

Which ROM? Which calendar app?

do you sync your google calendar with your phone?

settings --> data sync. --> is your gmail acc added and active for sync? does it also sync the right services? (gmail, calendar, contacts,...)

edit:

Oh, and an your calendar app, did you choose google calendar to sync with?

Make sure your Gmail account is active in Account&Sync

Then Open calendar, press menu > More > Calendars and check if your gmail is there. If not add it (add calendar).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kev94:
Hi there,

A couple days ago, I had a usb brick. I quickly fixed it, everything got back to normal except for my sd card : I think it's corrupted. Why do I say this ? Because I've got another sd card, and it's working perfectly. I can't get to format it via Gparted. It says the procedure failed, there was an issue and i couldn't format it. In addition, even though it's a 4GB card, it's recognized as a 3gb card.

When I try to use it in recovery mode, it says :

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

But when I use the other card, nothing weird happens.

I'd like you guys to help me repair my SD card.

I already tried this, but it didn't work out ! I'm out of ideas...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
So it says it's a 3GB card? You had an 1GB Ext partiton before?

If yes, that's where your 1GB's gone.

Recommended is to repartition your card again from scratch - Using Either GParted, EASEUS or MiniTool partiton.

Backup everything from it, then delete all partitions - and re-create them.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kev94:
Actually, it's 3.7 GB and not 4GB (I guess it's normal though). And yes, the missing space was from the ext partition. Thanks god, the first thing I did was a backup of my SD card. Yet, I tried to format the card with Gparted (I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.10) but as I said above the procedure fails.

Then, I formatted in Windows, and I managed to create a 3Gb fat32 partition recognized in Gparted.

But how am I supposed to get my missing space back if this space isn't recognized in Gparted ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 (natty) - and i'm able to mount my EXT partiton of the SD Card.

As I said, don't just format the card, but delete all partitions and re-create them, then format them.

Also, if your card is messed up badly, maybe you have to use the termina with commands to recover the ext partition.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypophysis:
Always format SD cards with the "SD Formatter 3.0" from the SD Association: http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/

This little programs formats the whole card (full capacity, erasing all other partitions) in FAT32 meeting all SD specifications.

Furthermore it alligns the LBA parameters (virtual heads, cylinders etc) and the fat32 parameters with the internal structures of the flash memory (eraseblocks), so that fat32 clusters never overlap eraseblocks. This speeds up write performance (in my case about 50%! :D).

There is no better tool to format SD cards.

After that you can resize (But don't move it, just trim the end. The free space in front of the FAT32 partition is part of the alignment) the FAT 32 partition with gparted and generate an ext partition in the free space.

Finally one should run the ext alignment script (it's a zip for recovery mode) from baadnwz homepage (http://www.baadnwz.eu/2011/05/align-your-sdcard-fat-and-ext-partiton_16.html) to align also the ext4 partition to the flash cells.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzumagos:
boot up into android (with any ROM) and go to settings > storage > format SD card

this should restore whole SD as FAT32

funny enough Android could do it, while Gparted could not (gparted didnt see my whole sd, it didnt see the ext partition) :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kev94:
---> As I said too :), Gparted fails to create partitions. It displays a "warning" icon by the sd icon. Unless I'm a fool, I can't get any further there.

---> Sounds great and geeky, gonna give it a try tomorrow afternoon (CET +2 here)

---> Yeah, Gparted is a bit lazy here.... Gonna try it if hypophysis's method doesn't work out. I gotta admit this kinda problem is pretty disturbing and pisses me off so much.... Waiting forward to get it over with.

Anyway, thanks a lot for helping me, you're good people here !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kev94:
Well, I tried hypophysis's method. It formatted successfuly. But as you said, I had to run Gparted again in order to create an Ext partition next to the fat 32 one. But I couldn't --> It says it couldn't find the "first sector" I guess, and it couldn't determine the device specifications, it wasn't able to perform everything he wanted. Actually it recognized the whole sd card, but wasn't able to do anything with it. I couldn't unmount it or mount it.... :confused:

I'm stuck at square 1 :mad: Gonna try to perform dzumagos's method later.

Not sure if you're correct. I suppose you're referring to the stock email program that comes with the SGS2?. This has been modified slightly by Samsung - but, either that, or the stock android email client both do download a certain amount of your emails from the server - Go into the mail program,clickon the options button,click More...select account Settings,select "Size to retrieve emails", and choose 5 kb as a start. This should cover most txt emails.

I've been interested in getting a dock. However, I have no confidence in the current offerings as I don't know anything about them and I don't want to just throw away $30 (yeah, I realize it's under $30, but there's shipping charges).

If someone is willing to actually try these out and give recommendations, I'd definitely be interested in going forward with one of these. Until then, I'm waiting for HTC to drop theirs, if they do it.

Edit: I read some info about the Kidigi cradle and it apparently blocks the audio port. This is a deal breaker for me. The other cradle looks to have that side of the cradle lowered so that one probably does not.
