[Verizon Droid Charge] kagaos:
Hi guys!

I would like to install Clockwork Mod Recovery on my Charge but I have no idea how to go about doing that. Is it something I get off the market, or something I have to flash with odin? Where do I download it?

Is there some tutorial out there?

My reason for wanting to do this is for battery calibration, which I understand to need CWM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
You download it by searching in the development forum. I bet there are also installation instructions where you download it from.
[HTC EVO 3D] cswtexas9:
I used revalutionary to root and it worked great but I tried to use Rom Manager to load a rom and since it made me install CWM Recovery. I now do not have a recovery. when in bootloader it will scan for PG86IMG.zip but it is scanning for PC86IAG.zip. Can some help me fix this.

?
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Screw CWM and ROM manager...take the extra 20 seconds it takes and just boot to recovery by hand. flash TWRP and be done with it.

EDIT: Sorry, here, http://www.techerrata.com/dl.php?path=27&file=PG86IMG-twrp-shooter-1.0.1.zip download that, unzip it and then download fastboot from here: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s2 then type "fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img" , make sure all of these files are in the same directory....oh yeah, with no quotes.
[HTC EVO 3D] cswtexas9:
I must be stupid

I cant get fastboot to work. Does it work on win7 64bit comp? I put the phone in fastboot usb mode and go to the comp and try to run fastboot but all it does is flashes for like a mil sec and does nothing.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
You've gotta go to the command prompt....

So, first download and unzip all of the files into a folder called "recovery" (no quotes)....

or click start, click run, type "cmd" then hit enter. then type "cd Desktop/recovery" (no quotes).... then type in the fastboot command I gave you above.
[HTC EVO 3D] cswtexas9:
ok, well thank you soooo much for your help, but I still cant get tis to work.

1 How do I get my comp to now to flash the comand to my phone, do i have the phone in charge, disc drive or go into fastboot?

2. the comand you told me to type into the cmd was 1.0.0.IMG BUT the file is 1.1.0.zip

I had a friend that is very smart with cmd promp and he was confused with how running this on the computer -- to get it to the phone.

all we got was an error that it could not find the path
[HTC EVO 3D] Konfuzion:
Just follow the guide here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192643

Basically download a recovery rename it to PC86IAG.zip power on using vol down and power the recovery will flash and then reboot and delete PC86IAG.zip.

Or turn off quickboot settings/power uncheck quickboot and then reboot your phone and I bet you will have your CWM recovery, but you need to do the above or a battery pull to do a real restart.
[HTC EVO 3D] Konfuzion:
Dont bother with all that cmd prompt crap you dont need to follow what I said. Easiest way is the battery pull then reboot to recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...developers&txt=PG86IMG-twrp-shooter-1.0.1.zip

Download that file. (it's TWRP recovery). Rename it to PG86IMG.zip. (if you're on windows, remember that the '.zip' extension won't show, and is already there. So just rename it PG86IMG). Then place the file on the main directory of your sd card. Shut your phone off, and boot into the bootloader. It will scan and find the PG86IMG.zip, then ask you to update. Press volume up to say yes. It will finish. Then reboot. Then shut phone off and boot back to bootloader. Select the 'recovery' option from the bootloader menu. You should then successfully boot into recovery. That's all you should need to do. And as daneurysm said, forget about Rom manager, and do your wiping and flashing manually, from the recovery menu. You'll have less troubles that way.

EDIT: After you get recovery working, flash this http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...echerrata.com/toastcfh/Shoot...d-unsigned.zip, and then you'll be fully rooted. At that point, I suggest downloading "quickboot" app, and you can use that to boot to recovery or bootloader much quicker and easier. Have fun.
[HTC EVO 3D] Konfuzion:
I think I said that 4 minutes ago :P

Just messing your instructions are clearer.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Yea, your response wasnt there when I started typing mine. I started typing it, then had to get some pizza out of the oven and cut it up. Then got back to my response. Wasn't trying to steal your thunder or anything. Also, you said to rename it to PC86IAG.zip or something....does that work? I've only used PG86IMG.zip. Just curious if you made a typo, or if you can use either one.
[HTC EVO 3D] Konfuzion:
Typo, like I said I was just messing. I figured you started typing before I hit reply. Your instructions were clearer anyway :D
[HTC EVO 3D] cswtexas9:
Thank you guys very very much. That fixed it, my phone is back. All that needed to be done was to rename the PG86IMG.ZIP file to PG86IMG and restart the phone into recovery. Thanks again to all that helped.
[HTC EVO 3D] Konfuzion:
Cool deal glad its working!
[HTC EVO 3D] HeckNoTechnO:
The problem is you let clockwork flash recovery when rom manager per say doesn't support or list the Evo 3D for a recovery to flash. As the earlier poster suggested Quickboot works great
[HTC EVO 3D] bigmikehd2:
wrong

Rom manager does support Evo 3d and clockworkmod recovery. Everything is working fine or me.
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
One of my bigger WTF moments when I started using Sensation/Sense 3.0 was the home screen's NavBar. It looked like crap. To most people it's evident why: it's jaggy and non-transparent. It doesn't look nearly like how it was intended to look. Want proof? Go into the skin browser and look at the previews for skins like HTC and Blue Sky... even in the preview window, the NavBar looks quite different.

I looked around for a fix, but I didn't find anything that adequately addressed the issue, in my opinion. A lot of people have figured out ways to force the NavBar to be transparent. This kind of works, but it doesn't fix the jagged edges and poor quality of the original image.

So I went to work on my own. I first noticed that the lock screen has a PERFECT NavBar image. THAT'S how it should look on the home screen. After a bit of hacking and learning how Sense 3.0 themes work, I figured out how to get that perfect lock screen image showing up on the home screen.

The fruit of my efforts so far is located at:

http://binarybulge.com/android/skins/sense3/sensation

You can download and install the APK's directly, then load them using the built-in skin chooser. Keep in mind these are Sense 3.0 QHD only. If you don't have a QHD (960x540) Sense 3.0 device, like Sensation or Evo 3D, don't bother.

I've also included a /notes folder describing exactly how I fixed the issue. This is only for general curiosity. YOU DON'T NEED TO LOOK THERE TO BE ABLE TO INSTALL THE THEMES. It could, however, help someone fix the skins for lower resolution devices (like 800x480).

Finally, I made the status bar jet black, because that's the way I want it. If you don't like it that way, feel free to insert your own status bar image. It's in the APKs' res/drawable-hdpi folders as statusbar_background.png.

Here's how it looked before (as seen in the stock Blue Sky skin):

Here's how it looks in my fixed bluesky.apk:

Better, no? Now we don't have to wait for HTC to fix it. :-)
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
Change Log

1.0 (7/31/2011):

- added BlueSky, Burgundy skins

Coming Soon

- fixed default/HTC skin (need to track down all images from various APK's in the framework to make an external skin file... blech)

- other skins from HTC hub?
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Nice man! I use the green skin from HTC hub, if you could fix that up would be great

Edit: its called spaceship Earth
[HTC Sensation] tze_vitamin:
nice! thx for sharing! :)
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
Unfortunately until the m10tools guys can decipher the new image type (14) used in that Skin, I can't really get anywhere with it. :-/
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Oooh ok pal no problem because thinking about it the navbar looks good as it is, because of the greeness the jaggedness is not that noticable
[HTC Sensation] yonatan5757:
You are a GOD amongst Men.

It Bugged me too!

Thank you so much :)
[HTC Sensation] platinumandroid:
Looks much better,thanks!
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Can anyone put the original notification bar back? :)

Also, you should change the navbars from the stock skins and add in the straight navbars :D
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
Thanks Nicky, maybe I'll add some variants, at least for the notification bar(s). I initially wanted to keep the scope of this thread/project narrow (just fixing what I saw as problems with the stock skins), but I think I can throw you a bone. ;-D

Can you give me an example of a straight navbar? I've seen some custom skins w/ them so I assume that's what you're talking about, but I wanted to make sure. Again, I'm not sure I want to stray too far from stock.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
I want this navbar :D http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1168270

Possible to make it show that straight navbar on the homescreen AND the lockscreen?

I love the Blue Sky theme. So when you press the buttons on the navbar make it turn blue? Just like the normal curved navbar.

Do this just for me? hehe :P

I'd like to do all of this myself but I'm not that knowledgeable in the theming side of Android. I prefer theming iOS :P

I see a lot of Sense 3.0 themes and I want a bit of each. Nothing "perfect" for my taste XD
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
Gotcha. I know exactly what you mean. I like that straight navbar too, but the skin changes far too many other things (I don't dig the square widgets).

If I get a free moment and can do something for you I'll let you know. I think it's out of scope with regards to this project. ;-)

Edit: Come to think of it, I really like the "Espresso" navbar from MyTouch 4G Slide. Have you seen it? What are your thoughts? I'd really like to see that navbar ported to S4G.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
I'm not a massive fan of the square widgets either XD.

I just want the navbar. I can live the the square widgets.

EDIT: and nope. I don't pay attention to the other forums apart from the devices I own :L

I also wonder why HTC haven't released any skins with straight navbars. I believe they did for Sense 2.1...
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
See attached.
[HTC Sensation] Shizophren:
Are you still theming the original HTC Theme with the green marker? I'm looking for that :-)
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Not my taste :P

THANKS! excellent work really, this should've been the first thing I saw when I first had the phone, would've made a way more better first impression :) I still can't understand why HTC shipped it the way it was.
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
Oh and please do keep us up to date on the progress with the default skin (the one with the green marker)
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
Hoping to kick it out this weekend sometime. Just been in a mad scramble to make some money and pay the bills. :-P
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Can't wait.

Straight dock to come soon? :p:D

EDIT: Is it me or does it use a bit more ram than the original stock skin?
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
Nah it's not just you. It probably does. The normal Blue Sky/Burgundy skins are built into the Sense 3.0 framework, and there is no way that I've seen to load the existing images while changing the nav bar. I had to copy them all into the new APKs, so it's possible it's taking up that much more space. It shouldn't be that much more, though.
[HTC Sensation] dream8441:
Hello, thanks for fix. i cant install it....through CWM. What 'roms' is it made for? Ive been using Leedroid and Android Revolutions..recent 1.1.6 and failed when flashing thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
no flashing required, just send the .apk file to the phone and install it like you would with any other app :)
[HTC Sensation] Scrupix:
Just great, the transparency is perfect, I hope that you will make much more skins

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
Any updates ? :p
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Doesn't work for me :c
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
again, it's a .APK, don't flash it, just install it.
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Yea I'm aware of that.
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
oh okay, worked fine here.
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
hey i downloaded the blue sky one and it looks so much better. one problem is i dont like the black status bar so i done what you said on the first post. i got the statusbar png from the stock version and swapped it out with your one using 7zip to open the archive and replace the statusbar png. however it will not install on my phone...just sais 'application not installed'

any help would be appreciated
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Been trying for a while, can't change the dam status bar back to stock lol think it must be something to do with the way I'm handling the .apks just using 7zip. Mate id really appreciate it if you could upload a version with stock status bar, I know its not your preferance but I'm sure it'd be easier then giving me a guide on how to change it :P

Thank you SO much for the Blue Sky version! Al we need now is a stock version. It would be great to get this working with TWIRL, as it could be used on ANY theme :)

EDIT: Packaged both the BlueSky and Burgundy versions into Flashable Zips and provided a installable APK for BlueSky for anyone who would like to replace the original with this MUCH IMPROVED version. :D

WARNING: MAKE SURE BlueSKy or Burgundy is not currently the set skin or you WILL have issues that will require a nandroid. the package names for the APK changed so you MUST be using any skin other than burgundy or bluesky when you flash these. you can then go change it to these skins after flashing.

Not sure, just packaged the burgandy from the OP>

On another note, top Binary Bulge, would you mind reposting without modifying the app package name from stock? I noticed you added .binarybuldge. to the package name, which can cause some nasty errors when trying to replace the stock theme when it is currently set in use. It would be much appreciated :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borat38:
So I remove preloaded apps like Teeter and Facebook from my ROM (sig) before reflashing it, using 7-zip to remove the unwanted files in /system/app and /data/app. Then I signed the zip with Auto-Sign. Everything went smoothly until I got stuck flashing the ROM. I always end up at the Joker splash screen of S-Off.

Anyone got any ideas what I might've done wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maspro:
It seems you removed a bit to much, it's a lot safer installing the full Rom and after installation removing those built-in apps with Titanium Backup (available through the Market).
