[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoophan@gmail.com:
Howdy,

1. I have a AT&T Samsung Captivate and it was modded with CyanogenMod 7 for the past few months. Everything has been working fine until last night when I tried to update to a more recent nightly. Long story short, my phone is now frozen. Meaning, when I power it on it stays on the AT&T World Phone start screen.

2. Yes, I've searched for other threads for a solution but can't find any that resolves my issue.

3. Yes, I tried to boot into Recovery mode. When I hold down the two volume buttons and the power button, the screen powers up like normal and the AT&T World screen flashes three times. Then I release the buttons but instead of going into the recovery screen it just stays on the AT&T screen.

4. Yes, I have that thing that goes into the USB port and forces the phone into Download mode and it does but it stays on that screen indefinitely.

5. I have to remove the battery to get out of each of the scenarios above.

6. I'd like to simply get back to Stock mode so I can wipe everything from my phone and start from scratch.

Anyone up to helping out a desperate, unemployed father of two who needs his phone desperately to look for work?

Thank you!

First, since this is a question is should have posted in the Q&A section.

Second, if you can get into download mode then you can recover via Odin or Heimdall

Just be careful depending on which bootloaders you have on your device.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If you can get to download mode, that's great - you should be in luck (btw, it's supposed to stay on the download screen indefinitely).

First, go here and get the one-click back to stock Odin.

Once you have it, get into download mode, fire up odin, and plug in your phone. Assuming you see a yellow COM:4 (or similar) message, you should be good to go.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Be careful - that link takes you to the odin with 3-button fix - if you flash that first, you could end up in a bad place.

Generally you should only flash the 3-button fix after going back to complete stock with the odin one-click to stock, and only if you need to repair a nonfunctional 3-button setup.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dlev7:
Yes I know I say that in the post, that you CANNOT flash the 3 Button Fixed Odin straight from GB Bootloaders.

YOU MUST flash Odin One Click first to get the Eclair Bootloaders, then that 3 Button Fixed JF6 to get your combo back for the unlucky people that lose it like me.

But on the thread note please stay with me, I posted the thread and the MegaUpload said it should only be another 10 minutes, then bad weather came through my area and froze the download link.

The download link for the full JF6 3 Button Fixed.tar file should be up in about an hour.

Sorry for the inconvenience

So I'm looking for a simplistic music control app for my lock screen or an app which lets you customize the look of the (play, next, previous) buttons. Any suggestions and help will be gladly appreciated.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dreamsforgotten:
I'm in the middle of porting the lockscreen mod which enables the player on the lockscreen. Its in alpha stage now, but the three lock screens that work two have music controls. I can let you flash where its at so far.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ranphi:
Pure music Widget from the Market will give you a nice, simplistic set of music control widgets which can then be skinned. It's capable of being used with various Android music apps, so check the details of it in the Market to see if it'll work with your music app of choice.

It does not have the ability to natively put music controls on the lockscreen. Usually for that, you have to either use a music app that can do it (like PowerAMP or PlayerPro) or you can use another app called WidgetLocker that will enable you to put whatever widgets you want onto the replacement lockscreen that WidgetLocker creates on your phone.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] haphazard1:
What ever happen to that lockscreen mod which enables the player on the lockscreen that was in the works?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zephiK:
You could get CM7. it has those features

I didn't want to release until complete but its kicking my ass lol. Let me fix a bug in the alpha with just the three andes I'll post tonight
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] haphazard1:
I only need the lock screen mod not the whole cm7 mod. I'm happy with simple minimal gingerbread ui but I think that they really drop the ball without this non-music lock screen control feature. Having to unlock phone just to more forward a track or tap music widget just to move back a track is a real pain.

Hello,

I try to Unbrick my A500 with Acer_A500_0.000.00_1.122.01_EMEA_GEN5_update.zip.

At the first time it works, I can boot and I want to flash the system.ing and boot.img for Acer_A500_1.141.07_COM_GEN1 with the Acer ROM Flasher to get german language support.

The HowTo in den Android-hilfe tells my that I will get an error after reboot (right) and than I have to flash another update (can´t post link because I´m a noobie)

Now I´m stick in a bootloaderloop (android logo) and nothing will help.

I try flash the unbrick update again, but the only thing I get is the Bootloop at the android logo.

I need some serious help for this.

Thanks guys

triebstahl
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Doesn't sound like your getting into recovery with the update.zip. make sure you keep holding down the vol- button until you see the little green man. Don't let go of it when you see the big "Acer".

After doing the update.zip to unbrick, run itsmagice BEFORE running Acer Rom Flasher. Then flash the boot and system images from that thread. Then reboot after the 6 minute window. It should boot normally.

Or just stick to the instructions in the other thread... I think your just not getting into recovery correctly.

PS.. Acer Rom Flasher is going to get an update when I get the chance.
[Acer Iconia A500] sc2k:
Have you already tried to wipe your device?
[Acer Iconia A500] triebstahl:
this seems to be the solution. Thanks for your [TIP]

Well now I´m chinese, but I try the Acer_A500_0.000.00_1.122.01_EMEA_GEN5_update now.

Edit: It does work. Now I try the boot.img and system.img.
[Acer Iconia A500] mankev:
i had same problem

I had the same problem with that zip. It was corrupted. Found an other source update.acer.zip and it worked, but some chinese apps came with it. List few other thing. The update.acer.zip would hot boot. The zip had folder with an other update.acer.zip in it. After extracting the zip from the zip it worked.

With a thread of water activity for the Defy, it might also be interesting what results are booked with a drop test measurement using the internal accelerometers. For a first measurement I used ACMeter app.

Sampling rate set to fastest

Lead in to drop has all three axes at 0 for 0.3 seconds (the phone is new :o)

peak measurement was:

X= 2.6

Y=8.2

Z=-1.3

Impact duration was 0.03s

Hi all,

I have SGS i9000 from PlusGSM. It's rooted. Today i'v installed ROM Manager. I cooked "my" ROM, downloaded it - JV5_No_Wipe-v6-20-19-25-21-06-4e00e0a7e252b.zip - and saved on internal card (mounted in /sd on my phone).

I tried to:

1. Create backup of current rom and flash ROM from SD card via ROM Manager

2. Just flash from SD card.

I tried to fix privileges and then do 1 and 2.

I also tried to remove external sd card and repeat 1/2.

I always get after rebooting into recovery mode:

-- Install from package...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:Can't open /cache/update.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

I thought about using manual "update" in recovery mode but then, it looks for

/sdcard/update.zip (not /sd/update.zip) so i assume naming file as update.zip in /sd would give me nothing.

I suppose my problem is trivial but it's my first attempt to flash my SGS with a custom ROM and I cannot find good answer that would lead me to the solution (http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1060352.html).

Thank you for your patience.I appreciate any suggestions,
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zsori:
You don't need RomManager to flash updates. You just need a CWM enabled kernel and then you can flash romkitchen directly from recovery.

I would suggest you install hardcore-s kernel using Heimdall or Odin. Altough CFRoot is also good and has CWM.

RomManager is supposed to be a frontend to CWM, but it did not work for me and I heard that it sometimes fails on the SGS.

Here are some tools to get you going

Apkmanager 4.9

Apktool

CapyChimp Apktool user guide

Attached are examples of what you should achieve if you follow the guide. I made all of the mods below with the guide above.

These zip files path is system/app If you are using a rom with a different path you will need to add the correct path to the zip and then flash.

1 Transparent pull down menu for sense 3

2 5 app drawer transparent for sense 3

3 4 app drawer transparent for hybrid roms based on 2.1 with 3.0 lockscreens

5 5 app drawer transparent for hybrid roms based on 2.1 with 3.0 lockscreens

6 4 app drawer transparent for 2.1 stock based roms

7 Transparent Pull down menu for 2.1 based roms.

Feel free to ask questions.

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] acidspider:
I haven't got a client when it comes to stuff like that. Any chance of a flashable zip?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] klquicksall:
I have attached many examples of what should be achieved with the guide. Go to post 3 and download one of them. They also work on almost every rom for the DHD and Inspire 4g.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] acidspider:
Ok ill give it a whirl. Cheers
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] JLneonhug:
Thanks! Works perfectly.

Dont suppose you know how to get rid of the 'apps' bar at the top and the all/favourites/downloaded bar at the bottom? :D I'd like to fit even more apps on screen.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] klquicksall:
That's part of the frame work. I don't think the app drawer would work without it.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] szilistvan:
Thanks, nice guide. I have a small problem though. I am trying to change tha app drawer background to transparent, I am using Sense 2.1

In the guide you are writing to change const/high16 v23 (v24 in some roms), -0x100 to: const/high16 v23, -0x6700 in launcher.smali.

The only problem is that I can't find const/high16 v23 (nor v24). I am using Rosie.apk that was already modded by Maxdroid to have 5 rows of icons on home screen.

Any idea?

Thanks
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] klquicksall:
If you dont mind which rom are you using this for? Also when you decompile Rosie.apk did you use both framework-res.apk and htc.com.resources.apk?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] szilistvan:
Yes, I used both. The ROM I have is Leedroid HD 2.2.3. (based on Froyo)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] klquicksall:
Well I haven't used a froyo ROM in a while but it should be the same. Look for -ox100 with note pad ++
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] szilistvan:
I have tried that, searched the file with every possible combination, but no luck, I have no entry in that file with -0x100 or const/high16 v23(or v24).
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] klquicksall:
Try to just search -0x100. Also if you search for the 1.84 based rcmix it has a transparent app drawer that comes with the ROM.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] GuestK00388:
Thanks very much for this thread. I've now learnt a lot about carrying out transparency mods! :D

I was wondering if it is possible to edit Seo's Sense 3.0 Mms.apk with the "Bubble Interface" so that there is transparency on the conversation window? I've had a look around and attempted some changes but to no avail... :confused:

Thanks again!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] klquicksall:
well I think it would be possible but, I haven't tried it. Decompille the apk with look for all item background ect... in the values folder or layout folder. see if that works. There might also be a smali edit in there some where. Let me know how it goes.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] klquicksall:
let me know how it goes. If you cant get it ill try to fix one up for you.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] cyber_pete:
In the OP you say to use resources.apk, do we also need framework-res.apk?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] klquicksall:
Youre right just htc.com.resources for rosie.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] szilistvan:
Thanks. I finally made it. I didn't find any of the strings above, but I found an already modded rosie.apk with 4x5 grid and transparent app drawer. And I use widgets from MaxDroid.

Virtuos Unity 1.27 Semitrasp SystemUI

Hi klquicksall, thanks for your guide and sorry for my bad english.

I try to make a semy trasparent pulldown using SystemUI.apk from virtuos unity 1.27.

I followed your guide and now my pulldown is FULL trasparent :o(attached screenshot).

I tried some png (various colours) and tried again but background is always full trasparent.

I do not understand where the mistake. Have you some advice for me?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] klquicksall:
well it looks like you need to add the attached black transparent png. (statusbarbackground.png) Also the white tabs at the bottom need to be fixed in status bar tracking.xml and then changed out the pngs with the ones posted in the second post.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] norifumi12:
Virtuos Unity 1.27 Semitrasp SystemUI

I try to change original png in res/drawable-hdpi with your png but pulldown is always full trasp.

I try SystemUI.apk (already modified) from other themes, and there if I change png it works, so i think I make a mistake when edit files or decompile/compile apk.

So systemUI won a battle but not the war, for now I don't have time to try again, but anyway thanks for reply and for guide.

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] klquicksall:
which base are you trying to make the app drawer for?

Make sure you change the smali value. Also are you using apktool or manager?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ronbacardi:
i am using kingdom 2.0. which smali values to i have to change? have i missed something?

does it matter if i use apktool or manager in this case?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] klquicksall:
ok you need to follow the sense 3 app drawer instructions. The first two edits were correct. You also have to make changes to all apps view .xml in the layout folder.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ronbacardi:
i have changed all the things like written in your guide:

values -> color.xml

values-hdpi -> color.xml

layout -> all_apps_view.xml

Hey, first thanks for the Tutorial. But it didn't work out for me.

I tried the transparent and 5x5 App Drawer tutorial

(portet Sense 3.0 for CoreDroid 7.1 on 2.36 Base)

I have changed the values from ff to cf (and 77 for testing), and for the app drawer 5x5 value "4" too "5"

No Errors or sth. while compiling, but nothing changed after pushing the Rosie.

Is there somebody having a solution for that?

Thank you.

okay the matter with the transparent appdrawer was my fault. i've forgot too remove the background image in the xml file. shame on me

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] cyber_pete:
First thank you for the tutorial I love being able to do this myself.

I followed all of the instruction for Sense 3.0 Rosie to make it transparent (I am using CoreDroid 7.1 which has the Sense 2.1 framework but the Sense 3.0 Rosie. Same as flakesnow a few posts before. Should I have used the Sense 2.1 method?):

Decompiled using com.htc.resources.apk

Changed in values:

#cf000000

#cf000000

Changed in values-hdpi:

#cf000000

Changed the three values specified in All_apps_view.xml

But I do not have a transparent app drawer. Any idea what I am missing? Do I need to replace one of the images?

Also I was successful in creating a 5X4 app drawer, is there any way to make it 5X5? I experimented a bit but didn't have any luck.

Thanks for any assistance.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] flakesnow:
Hey, you have to use the Sense 3.0 Tutorial.

Your changes you have made are right. But in the All_apps_view.xml you have to remove the "android:background"

Compare your file with the file from the tutorial.

There are more changes in the file than the bold marked

Hehe me too. But unfortunately no success. I'm also interested cooking a 5x5 drawer
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] cyber_pete:
Ah, thank you I didn't diff the entire file, just made sure my changes matched his. I will gove that a try.

I will let you know if I find a way to get the 5X5 drawer.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] zhp pilot:
Couple of questions:

1. Do you know how to change the notification text color in Sense 3 GB? I'm looking to change rest to white and pressed to black but if I can just get rest to white I'll be happy. I have blacked out the pulldown and have managed to get all the text white expect for the actual notifications. Quick settings and tabs text are white.

2. Sense 3 rosie, do you know where the text size is for the app drawer? With 5 columns, the text seems to big for my liking. I was able to change this rather easily in 2.1 but I can't find it now.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Vernox701:
I am running Sense3.0 with Incredible2 framework. I have tried adding transparency to services jar and systemui.apk.Nothing seems to work.Only result is systemui doesn't load after changes. I was wondering two things:

1. Which files needs to be changed to use a different pulldown background Services.jar or SystemUi.apk( Only white pulldown menu shows up )

2. Can you use any Services.jar from a Sense 3.0 rom that has transparency already enabled....i.e Evo based rom or Desire

I have changed .png's to transparent ones but only the stock look continues.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] JLneonhug:
Has anyone already cooked a 5x4 with the transparent background on 2.3 but with 3.0 lockscreen..? Don't suppose you would be so kind to up it on here..? The OP one awesome as it is only has black background unfortunately.
