[Captivate General] peurocs4:
No... No!!! NO~!!!!!

I hate Captivate, not just by itself...

But hate the fact that Captivate have RANDOM SHUTDOWN, WORSE GPS SIGNAL, and NO FRONT FACE CAMERA within Galaxy S Family~~~!!!!

If they want to call it, FAMILY!, then they should have made it some what similar to each other... but no, they had to make Captivate squar-ish shape and take out some functions! WOW~ what a grateful thing to do AT&T!!!

And I had problems with this phone from the beginning...

3rd party AT&T store totally tricked me to buy this phone for $300 when other place was $100, and after calling AT&T custom care, they F'in didn't cared about what it happened!!!

Screw AT&T, Go Verizon!!!

The thing that really sold me on how great the Captivate is happened when I was trying to set up Ubuntu on a computer.

I couldn't get the computer to do anything with the wireless USB device (in terms of speaking to the router). After spending two frustrating days moving files to and from the computer with thumb drives, on a whim I hooked up my (Firefly 3.0) Captivate, clicked the "USB Tethering" option, and suddenly everything clicked together. It connected immediately to the router, and I was off and finishing up the setup.

Doing things like that, and all the other fun customization options available, make this hands-down the best phone I've ever owned.

Had my phone since November of last year and I love it. I dont think I will be buying another phone for a while or until this phone just decides to crap out on me for whatever reason but if that happens there are places where I can bring it to, to fix it.

I'm another fan. Would've been so much better out of the box without ATT messing with the software. The great Devs here make up for that, and then some. The Captivate rocks on the great custom ROMs. My buddies are just amazed at how smooth it runs and how great it looks. I'm loving it.

This is a signature.

I have played with almost every available new phone on the market. I can honestly say I do not feel like I am missing anything. Nothing has come out that is worth an upgrade

Miui Captivate
[Captivate General] iPop:
I like mine enough. Had some serious issues prior to Samsung's delayed 2.3 update. Once 2.3 was rolled out for Galaxy S phones, the Darky ROM developers took it and built a solid ROM.

Two big issues that still prevent the phone from being great: GPS and battery monitoring.

The GPS is accurate only when motionless or on a bike. GPS is completely unreliable when in a moving vehicle.

When I unplug from a full charge, the indicator sometimes instantly drops to below 80% battery life. The battery indicator needs to be tuned. Have not had time to run the battery fix or try out BetterBatteryStats.
[Desire Themes and Apps] mexxxico:
The first thing I wanted to do after I root my Desire was to change the boot animation from 'screaming' white to black.

Since a few friends begged me to put them somewhere that is always available, I decided to do here :D

So for those who want the original, but black HTC boot, down and shotdown animation they are free to take it from here ;)

P.S. I added the splash screen, if someone wants to :)

Boot animation for HTC Sensation is here.
[Desire Themes and Apps] jayroller:
Ooh, looks nice, I'll have a go at that thank you - much easier on the eyes!
[Desire Themes and Apps] zare51:
This is exactly what I was looking for :)

Thank you very much
[Desire Themes and Apps] MattBooth:
Haha! I made this exact same boot splash1 for my phone! Took a black background, added the Green HTC and used an inverted "Quietly Brilliant" image!

I tried to have my own down animation wherein it had the quietly brilliant visible which then slowly faded away but it refused to work :(

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1156366

Help me out?!
[Desire Themes and Apps] -Latency:
I assume we can simply replace the zips found in system/resource/customise. Where does the shutdown.zip live though?
[Desire Themes and Apps] mexxxico:
Yes. Simply replace the existing file with this.

Every developer puts the animation to another place :)

Shotdown animation is just for froyo rom because gingerbread has only boot & down animation.

And these are made even while the froyo was topical :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] mexxxico:
Here, your downanimation.zip now works. Checked.

Don't forget to check permition after copying. (rw-r--r--).

Good luck
[Desire Themes and Apps] MattBooth:
Thanks, but, how do I check permissions? I'm not that adept with Linux, so I'm very new to the adb shell.

Also, I threw this into /data/local/ where I think the downanimations and such should be (I think they start in system/customize/resource/ and then get moved on install) but it still didn't work. I'm going to try the resource folder and see where that gets me, but it could be that I didn't manually change permissions. I can't see my data/local/ folder in ASTRO.
[Desire Themes and Apps] mexxxico:
Which rom (LeeDroid, Baadnewz, Robocik, Coolexe...) and which hboot (a2sd, cm7...) you use? Your desire must be a s-off.
[Desire Themes and Apps] -Latency:
Thanks for the clarification, looks very slick.
[Desire Themes and Apps] MattBooth:
I'm S-OFF'd using RCMixS (Robocik) v2.0 using this mod: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1110921 which is just the stock Robocik ROM with D2EXT. I didn't want any of the test unstable stuff.

It's the stock hboot version and I used the stock hboot when I S-OFF'd.

I've upped downanimations before and it worked without changing permissions. Also, I've tried just opening the ROM .rar file and added them to that (replacing the ones already there) then repacking the rar and flashing but that sometimes doesn't like to work. Is there some process to follow when repacking a ROM?

I think that error is the only thing stopping me from changing ROM's to how I like them to be fair.
[Desire Themes and Apps] jozef710i:
This is exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you
[Desire Themes and Apps] mexxxico:
Try with Root Explorer or estrong file manager.

Boot & down animations are in /data/local or /system/customize/resource. It depends on the developer. But you must see a files. Root explorer shows that even if the file on that location is real or just simlink.

After copying the file with Root Explorer to the location, by clicking on the file, you get a menu. Select permission and set permission (rw-r--r--) for downanimation.zip

It must work.

I put my boot & downanimations and other essential items are usually put the zip before the flash :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] willy792003:
nice. i think they will need a matching splash to go with :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] sterankin:
Thanks for this, can you use root explorer to add these?
[Desire Themes and Apps] mexxxico:
Yes, you can.

After copying the file with Root Explorer to the location, by clicking on the file, you get a menu. Select permission and set permission (rw-r--r--) for both animations.
[Desire Themes and Apps] MattBooth:
It's ok, ADB worked well. The animation only works on shutdown, not reboot. So it was just my bad!

Not sure why ASTRO can't see inside the the data/local/ folder, but it sees the rest of the root file system. Strange, but ADB push worked initially!
[Desire Themes and Apps] the-extreme:
Thanks.....

Always on the hunt for nice(r) boot/down screens....
[HTC EVO 3D] Darknight111:
Newbie here, I searched but sorry if this has come up before.

The 3d is my first Android phone - came from Palm Pre minus hell.

How on Earth do you turn off the sound and LED notification of every email / SMS / etc? :confused:

I've got the notifications turned off in the Mail app for each of my two accounts, but still get the BLLLIP every frickin' couple minutes.

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] djwhitey:
use volume-down until it's on vibrate ;)

you configure notifications from a given app from the app itself. so when you're in the main scene of an app, hit the menu key & look for Settings>Notifications.
[HTC EVO 3D] Darknight111:
Thanks, but I've already done that. Still get the notifications. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] jaswolf:
Calendar

I've also noticed that you can't turn on notifications but have vibrate off for the calendar events. I think this is a sense 3.0 thing, as you could do it on the EVO 4G and could do it in some custom sense 2.1 ROMs I ran. Kingdom ROM (sense 3.0) had the same issue. Wish they'd put that back in.
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
If you're using Gmail under settings there is an option that will only notify you once for unread emails. Once you check your mail and get new messages it'll notify once again for the next new message until you check it.

As for SMS the default app either notifies you on each app or none at all. I checked Go SMS Pro but they don't have an option that only notifies you once like Gmail does.

Edit: I had the Pre minus too, and in Android the main thing is that you use the menu button pretty much the same way in the Pre you hit the upper left corner to get the programs menu.
[HTC EVO 3D] Darknight111:
Thanks

Well, I'm either dumber than usual, or something is wrong.

On the page in Mail settings under "Notifications", "Email Notifications" is un-checked and set to "Off". Still get the frickin' bleep an flashing green LED on every single email.

Not sure what else I can do. :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Do you have a gmail or other account. If it's a gmail account when you setup your phone by default your gmail is in the gmail app. If you setup your gmail account in the email app remove it from there and only deal with it in one place which the gmail app is the best place for it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Darknight111:
Aha! I was using an app labeled "Mail" which was on the first page of the home screen (or whatever the proper term is), NOT the "Gmail" app . The Gmail app also has Notification settings. How confusing.

That took care of it. Thanks a bunch!

If on stock froyo u can set install location to sdcard by using adb. On cm7 there is an option in the settings for this. Both these refer to android secure folder of memory card and not ext partition.

The adb command is

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

Command is case sensitive.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildcat777:
Hi all,first off im not gonna say my tab is bricked im to much of a noob to do that,but I've gotta say I'm really worried that my tab might be toast.To cut a long story short my son gotta hold of my tab without my knowledge and flashed a rom onto it.From what i can ascertain he's not followed the instructions on installation,instead of using the computer he's downloaded a zip file with the rom on it,then he's gone into recovery mode via clockworkmod(i have rom manager app on my tab)he's then wiped the cache and the dalvik and then proceeded to install the rom from the SDcard that he'd downloaded earlier.Anyway he said it seemed to have worked because he got a message on screen saying thank you for installing overcom rom v2.0.1 hermes installation complete enjoy using it.The message was roughly like that anyway.It also said that the 1st boot could take a long time as it had to rebuild the cache and the dalvik.So wait he did,4 hours later and all that was on screen was.....GALAXY TAB

SAMSUNG......plus all the hardware keys were constantly lit.By this time id come in and discovered what he done.So i tried to put it into recovery mode so i could hopefully put another rom onto it.But when i press power and the up volume key it just goes straight to the screen i described above,I've not had a problem getting into recovery before but now zilch....Plus another thing when i plug in the charger in instead of getting the green battery symbol gradually filling up i instead get a grey battery symbol that just sits there and does nothing.

I'll be eternally grateful if anyone can get my tab going again,i bought it in the uk open to any network,so i guess its a european tab(ON BOX IT SAYS GT-P1000).Can anyone help me,I'm trying my best to stay positive lol.

Cheers dave.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
Make sure your tab has enough charge (charge it if necessary by plugging it in wall socket even if there is no indication) After that try to boot it into download mode (power & volume down) or any detectable download mode by your pc. Get a stock rom from here or from anywhere (what rom was tab originally on froyo? Gingerbread?). Follow the instructions to flash that stock rom. Overcome guide has great instructions on how to restock your tab.

Kindly ask your questions in appropriate forums.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildcat777:
Thanks darkpal,i was on froyo,although i couldn't get into recovery mode i tried what you said,power button and volume down and was able to get into download mode.

So when i can get access to a suitable computer I'll try what you recommended.

Sorry if this post was in the wrong place my heads been all over the place since my tab has been down.

Thanks again for the tip and fingers crossed it will work. Dave
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
I was about 99% sure thats what your son did. He tried loading the gingerbread overcome rom over froyo. And that resulted on a non bootable state (or as some call it soft brick). GB has different bootloaders than froyo thats why a stock gingerbread should be installed first before overcome 2.X.

Hope to see you up and running soon :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] (•.•):
Good luck man... just try everything, never give up! ;)

It's because of the wiped dalvic cache!

ps: you should check out some bootloop problem threads. use search!
[Droid Incredible General] Amphibliam:
When you download the Facebook for Android app, it asks you to sync contacts. DON'T DO IT. Whenever someone has a phone number in their Facebook profile, regardless of if there is an existing contact that it will link to or not, the number will have a +1 in front of it. For instance, a number that should read 123-456-7890 would read +1123-456-7890. Facebook adds this for unknown reasons. When you send a text to the borked number, the text goes through, even on verizon.com, it says that the text was sent by you and that the other person received it on their profile. However, the person does not receive it on their phone. Also, if you call someone with a borked number, the phone will not ring.

In conclusion: Don't sync Facebook contacts, and your SMS should send fine and calling should work fine. Alternatively, you can use any messaging app but stock, such as Go SMS Pro and the message will go through fine, even with the +1 format.

Hope this helped someone.
[Droid Incredible General] renzo.olivares:
Nice Find man i havent noticed this but ill be weary of this from now on
[Droid Incredible General] ProneTheDuck:
How does this explain people receiving some messages and not others? If it was the number they wouldn't receive any texts at all, not just 30% of them. I noticed this a while ago and I couldn't call people with the +1, but they received texts just fine.
[Droid Incredible General] Amphibliam:
Only people who have their numbers listed in their Facebook profile are affected.
[Droid Incredible General] Amphibliam:
This is what worked for me. If it doesn't work for you, then I'm sorry.
[Droid Incredible General] ProneTheDuck:
I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying maybe there's two seperate issues. Without my Facebook contacts synced some messages are going through and some aren't. Maybe its just me, but I've seen posts with people saying the same. Thank you for your solution nonetheless.
[Droid Incredible General] Amphibliam:
You're welcome. I'm not saying by any means that this will solve everyone's issues. Just my experienced and it worked for me. Best of luck to you on sorting whatever is up with your SMS out. What ROM are you using?
[Droid Incredible General] brando56894:
+1 is the country code for the USA, no idea why it's adding it though. I know that wavesecure requires you add +1 to the contacts on your contact list since the texts come from somewhere in asia IIRC (may not be true now since McAfee owns them).
[Droid Incredible General] Amphibliam:
I know it is, but since it's a cell phone, you don't use the 1 or +1, which messes it up.
[Droid Incredible General] Foobeenz:
Thank you for putting this up. I was confused and frustrated as to why lots of my contacts didn't receive or was able to send any texts or calls to me. But now its all good :)
[Droid Incredible General] JeffBea:
I'm going to test this theory. Hope this works. Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] MorphiousGX:
Try using Contacts Clean-up from Android Market. It works great and resolved my issue on the fly. Dev just made it CDMA compatible
[Droid Incredible General] Jes7er:
I think this only matters on sense roms. I know I need to be on aosp for dialing businesses through voice search to work because it also adds a +1 (at least it used to).

Hi guys,

I have 2 questions. The 1st is does anyone know how to get full screen flash? eg. When I go watch a starcraft 2 stream on team liquid it seems to cut off at the top, probably because the android status bar at the top is still showing. Anyway to get rid of it?

The second question....Does anyone know how to assign a double tap home button action to our galaxy s 2 using launcher pro, like another app or something.

Thanks in advance!:)

I'm not sure if this was forgotten but users running the stock rom MUST install this patch to run properly.

The last comment in the thread was June 5th or so... and was kind of hard to find. I'm assuming no one uses it anymore, but still needs to be done for every factory reset done if running a stock rom.

Here is the link to the patch:

http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-optimus-2x-2x-modaco-com/338158/26-apr-g2x-pre-dexopt-patch/

It needs to be flashed from ClockWork Recovery, thus requires you root first and NVFlash a custom recovery.
