Or any other launcher that's available on the market.
[Galaxy S II General] Demon_man:
yeah take it back and buy a sensation.

or just change the launcher seriously..............
[Galaxy S II General] ShowtimeR:
I dont know.. If u dont like change launcher... Or phone..
[Galaxy S II General] tfn:
AGILE LOCK - Gives you the SENSE 3 LOCKSCREEN

LAUNCHER PRO PLUS - with MIUI ICON PACK is a nice combo as well and launcher pro has most of the sense widgets
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
Sighs not another Sense thread. Maybe try using the search function to find one of the 1000000000 other people whining about Sense and post on those threads. Anyway if you like Sense so much you should've gotten a Sensation. If you don't like Touchwiz install a different launcher from the market and get a Sense theme.

The End!

I tried this tutorial:

Any solutions?
[Galaxy S II General] mrvtec69:
your phone is stuffed, first of all you flashed the wrong PIT and firmware for the wrong phone the one you flashed is for Galaxy S not S2, you can try the usb jib but 99% sure it wont work, youll have to send it back to samsung or get it repaired at a repair center
[Galaxy S II General] sebyku:
My warranty is lost? And what did happen so wrong that the phone cant go on?
[Galaxy S II General] stoney73:
Read the post above yours.

You flashed galaxy S software, not galaxy s2. Different software for different hardware.

Its like filling up with diesel when your car runs on unleaded.
[Galaxy S II General] Gooner3029:
You can try mobile tech videos. They charge $60 for unbricking.
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
You flashed the wrong software and the wrong partition table to it... You should've read up on the links you gave in your first post before flashing. Second if you'd read up on the flashing instructions on this site you would've known not to use a pit file unless absolutely necesary. And finaly when you encounter a file named s1_odin_20100512.pit which clearly has S1 (meaning Galaxy S1) and the date 12-05-2010 (which is before the S2 was even announced) that should've made you a little suspecious as to whether you had the right files.

You can send the phone to Smasung and hope they don't find out what happened. If they don't they'll repair it for free, if they do you're screwd and you'll have to pay for the repair.
[Galaxy S II General] drreality:
ok mate,

u have 1 of 2 options:

1- u need to send it back for the service centre

2- send it for a JTAG service close to ur place

Why didn't you actually study everything properly before doing anything like this to a top of the market phone?

[Galaxy S II General] Extreme184X:
Yet another motivation why I won't bother with Rooting, roms or just flashing in General.

Flashing should be a once a in blue thing, this phone is way to fast, does not need at ALL any speed enhancements, you Should fine just experimenting apps. I highly encourage everyone not to flash daily, enjoy what you have. don't loose $800 for nothing or have regrets.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Flashing is safe as long as you are able to read simple text and perform the task without errors by understanding the instructions.

[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
I'm pretty sure our devices are idiot proof unless you go about doing absolutely absurd things like flashing the wrong files and repartitioning your device with a table of an other device. If the people would just read the risk is minimal. Like this OP who did his research AFTER bricking, if only he did it before hand. And what gets me the most, in 2 of the 3 threads he links to the answer is present. Wrong pit file need JTAG programming. But yet again instead of reading through the threads he opts to start yet another thread...
[Galaxy S II General] AmesCell:
No way. I'm totally new to this and it's brain dead simple if you read at all. A million people have said don't use a pit file. But people do it anyway.

[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:
The OP just shows that a little "knowledge" in the wrong hands can be a very bad thing indeed.

I am no genius or anything, but I have flashed my SGS2 many times since I got it and had no issues whatsoever. Having said that, if you are incapable of reading simple instructions, and making sure that you actually do things correctly, then I would strongly discourage those people from ever flashing or even trying to root a phone.

In fairness, the SGS2 is a brilliant phone out of the box, but IMO, it can be made even better with a good ROM/Theme/Kernel (Villain ROM 2.4.2, Ninphetamine 2.05 and Zeubug is my combo of choice).
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
It's a bit hard to understand you, do you mean tell them it was a Kies error during flashing? Or that you'll try to connect to Kies (if it's the second, don't, it will not work). And was your second wipe "wipe data"?
[Galaxy S II General] bassie1995:
Try holding the Download Mode buttons for 30 seconds.

If that doesn't work, read the below.

If it does work, read the below, minus the last sentence.

Never, ever, EVER rely on Google Translate for something like this. It is a Dutch site, devving (that is a word, right?) on that ROM stopped after getting an SGS II.

Also, you understand English and XDA, why not look for the thread in the XDA SGS II forum? It's quite popular, for what I've seen.

On the other hand, everyone does stupid things...

Just hope Samsung will fix it...
[Galaxy S II General] sebyku:
yes wipe data ... holding the Download Mode buttons for 30 seconds doesn`t work :( .. i was thinking are a lot of methods for doing a lot of stuffs and repair our phone home .. but yesterday i was so disappointed .... in this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1205469 i explained how my phone melted and my phone said every time battery empty .. after i put the jig .. i unrooted my phone, make an factory reset .. and OMG my phone started charging .. wonderful for me :| .. the phone worked finnaly .. but in a couple of hours i bricked up :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It's because if this very reason that it's explicitly stated in the flash guide not to use a .pit file and it's made bold as well for emphasis. I foresaw people using the .pit file from the SGS and bricking their devices but despite multiple posts people still insist on doing this.:eek::eek::eek:
[Galaxy S II General] sebyku:
was my mistake .. because e never read nothing about pit files :)
[Galaxy S II General] unleashed12:
Those pesky pits; yeah you need a jtag now to unbrick the phone...
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Relying on Google to translate a rooting guide??

You are like the first person I've heard of to ever attempt that.

You might as well throw your phone away now, since Samsung won't touch it with a long pole. Well once they see the repartitioned table and realize what you did.

Anyways they probably won't give it back, we don't want a nuclear blast on our hands.

seems like this is only ported, how about read and make themes easy??

grab all apks you need,

Place the apk inside the system/app

(etc go-sms-pro)

Open go-sms-pro go to MANIFEST-INF -> and open cert.sf on top you will she

SHA1-Manifest-Digiest: (and a lot of numbers and letter's

copy these line,

now go to the rom your building and add the line you copied

META-INF -> CERT.SF

META-INF -> Manifest

(be sure to delete the line Manifest, when pasted in both files)

Should loke like this SHA1-Digiest: 1jfij1giji47mojh8jh/khoi=

now zip all files (system META-INF recovery and boot,

name what you want, and make zip file

And remember to sign it ;)

do have it.

Sorry for any confusion.

Great theme by the way, i'll double check with this rom, but this does have a status bar font issue on the p506 rom. otherwise great job.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] avengin:
Alright its not that hard to get the theme working if you play around with it. So i'll write some friendly steps for you.

1. Download zip file for metamorph theme

2. place said zip in root of your sd card

3. download install metamorph

4. open it

5. it may crash. it did for me so open it again

6. tap on open/install new theme

7. find the zip on the root of your sd card

8. it wont install properly it didnt for me BUT it installed the xml file you need

9. plug your phone back into your pc, usb mass storage it so you can access the sd card

10. find the folder AndroidThemes

11. you should see a folder in that one corresponding to the theme we are trying to install, so if you didnt rename the ZIP it should say CarloRom or something.

12. unzip the entire zip in that folder

13. unmount sd card

14. open metamorph

15. install existing theme

16. you'll see a warning

17. install the theme, it will freeze/reboot DO NOT PANIC!!

18. phone starts and your theme is installed.

****NOTE!! your date and time bar will not be viewable as they are black font you need to search now how to apply the services.jar to change the colour

IF thats too long for you then follow these steps:

1. Download zip

2. mount phone sd card

3. create folder on root of sd card "AndroidThemes" (ps no quotes)

4. create another folder "CarloROM" (ps again no quotes)

5. extract zip to "CarloROM"

6. Download metamorph

7. run metamorph, if it crashes run again

8. install existing theme

9. go to "CarloROM" folder tap on the gingerbread.xml file

10. you'll see warnings... do not worry

11. tap Apply All!

12. your phone will install the theme, it may take a while, preferable to make things smoother, have unknown sources, and usb debugging checked in settings, dont be a noob you can find it, also set your screen to timeout in 30 mins makes the process a little easier

13. Phone will do a strange reboot, (as in you wont see your logos and stuff just a frozen screen, DO NOT PANIC, its all fine

14. your theme is applied

***NOTE!!! refer to note above.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] avengin:
I know that you can change the battery wifi and all that kind of stuff thats accessable in the metamorph theme itself, however it seems that app specific icons are a little harder... also metamorph can change the font colours of everything except the service provider, date, and time, i changed all that to white one my phone, and combined the theme you posted with my adjustments from the carloROM theme. I havent uploaded it, so if you want those specific files that change the colours to white i can upload them.
