I am away from my pc atm, but off the top of my head I beleive it is in /res/layout/colors.xml/trace color

If I am mistaken I will either edit or reply to your post telling me I'm wrong.

EDIT: res/values/colors.xml/TRACE_PATH_COLOR

You will need to get past 3e recovery before you can flash anything, what you are booting into right now on the stock kernel is not cwm. Cwm is green with a lot of options, what you see is blue with only 3 or 4 options right? That is stock 3e recovery. Use this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13249044 to get past 3e and then you will be able to "reinstall packages" to flash cwm.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabotaaage:
just to clarify, i am seeing both 2e and 3e recovery, depending on how i get there. using rom manger i see 3e (blue with few options), but if i hard boot i see 2e (green with many options). so it seems i can get past 3e but only using the hard boot method. im not sure why this is, and im not sure if i should proceed with flashing anyway?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
2e is not the green with many options. thats CWM

3e is still there but there are ways of bypassing it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabotaaage:
sorry, thats what i meant, im getting cwm and 3e. so it a problem that i cant get boot into cwm from rom manager? maybe i flashed the speedmod kernel incorrectly the first time?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
You did not mention you flashed speedmod... That is a custom kernel and like all custom kernels it has cwm baked. So that is why it boots into cwm with the button combos. Because it should.

Rom manager is for kernels that do not have cwm baked in, what it does is it downloads cwm in an update.zip and then flashes that each time you chose reboot into recovery. But since the kernel already has it it boots into regular recovery to flash the update zip and stops there.

As long as the button combos work you're ok.

And at this point all you need to do is put cm7 on your sdcard bout into recovery with the button combo and flash it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabotaaage:
ah ok, it seems like i installed cwm twice then. if i flash cm7 will i be able to use rom manager to flash in the future?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
rom manager is nearly worthless for the captivate. its unfortunate but true. i use it on my inspire, and used it on all my other HTC devices. samsung needs to get their heads out of their asses and join the HTC on this. the samsung way is retarded
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabotaaage:
do you mind explaining why rom manager is worthless?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
You cant do much wit it. There is no reason to use it. You need cwm is much easier to just flash a kernel with it baked in, more so if you have 3e recovery. Getting in to recovery can be achieve with key combos, terminal emulator adb and not to mention most roms have it on the power menu....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
you can thank Samsung for their 'recovery'

so far, samsung is the only phone that i have used that CWM doesnt replace the actual recovery, and instead it creates an 'update.zip' that modded 3e recovery or 2e recovery will 'boot into'

rom manager utilizes CWM to flash roms. when you have a samsung that interferes with that expected behavior it can create some major issues with trying to use rom manager to flash roms. its usually more hassle than its worth.

just download the rom zip, stick it on your phone, reboot to recovery and flash

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3drvr:
OK here is a question I've been pondering. I'm on miui 1.9.9 right now. Can I simply flash over to cm7 or do I have to go back to a stock form first? The way i see it issince I'm running a cm7 kernel anyhow already flashing to stock isn't needed really. Figure just wipe dalvik and cache and install. I'm on froyo bootloaders right now too. N I thought miui and cm7 use same filesystems too. But let me know. I've been flashing roms for months now. Many different ones except cm7. Not to say I haven't tried. Just fails to open package every single time I try in cwm. That was always at a stock form tho.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
MIUI is based of CM7 so with a wipe it should work. Stock is if you going back to i897 or i9000 rom. System needs to be repartition and what not.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
You need to wipe system too!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3drvr:
Thank u. I'm going to try right now. I always get an error tho with these cm7 roms when going to install zip. But we'll see now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
If the rom script fails to wipe system partition, then its a rom built by a retard and shouldn't be touching your phone

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3drvr:
Ok it worked finally! Thanks guys. I have another question now.

my stock android recovery doesn't work. Cwm is fine once I have custom kernel installed. If I'm stock tho, and download rom manager and flash it I can't ever get into cwm no matter what. That's besides the point anyhow. My stock recovery seems to be broken. My 2e recovery, when I'm in it, my power button to select things does not work, period. I can't select anything, can't reboot or anything. Same with 3e recovery. I can pull battery out for a day or 30 seconds, it will still boot back into recovery. Or my other option is to boot into download mode. I've tried a full official eclair and official froyo install. No difference. Only way to get out of these modes is to flash a rom via odin. So any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adicool:
Hmm thats weird,your power button works when you are on custom kernel but doesnt work when you are on stock ha,thats something i havent heard before.....!

How about trying a complete flash back to froyo along with master clear?

Also on a side note: why does it really matter to you?Why would you want to go back to stock when you are rooted and have so many custom roms available....!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3drvr:
Resale. My power button works always, just not on stock recovery. 2e or 3e. So if I'm just using the phone normal I can turn it off and on and all. But if I go into recovery mode I'm screwed. My only way to use the phone again is to flash a rom via odin.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:

Ok, I'm a little bit confused about the various "stock" roms. Here is what I THINK I know.

I897UCJH2: Eclair (Android 2.1)

I897UCJH7: Eclair (Android 2.1.Update) (Various improvments)

I897UCKB1: Froyo (Android 2.2)

I897UCKH3: Gingerbread (Android 2.3.4)

But I dont know what I897UCJF6 is. Can someone clarify for me please? :confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Jf6 is an early beta build of eclair, and fact some newer phones that came with froyo won't run it at all and elk just boot loop.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
jf6 wasnt a beta build. it was actually what came on the first batches of phones. beta to you and i maybe, considering so many things were borked, but it was gold release according to samsung and at&t
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:
Thank you for the reply. Which is recovery.bin? I noticed there weren't any stl items like the thread of a tut I posted earlier although I am aware that this is on a different phone. Also how does one find this information on his own because it would be a great resource to know. Also is all I need to make a backup Odin file the tactoryfs.rfs, zimage, rocovery.bin and modem.bin?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:
is bml5 the recovery.bin? and not the part of the bootloader that can brick your device? kinda of confused
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Recovery is part of the system. In /system/bin so it would be contained in FactoryRFS, bml9. and any additional recovery (cwm) will be contained in the kernel (Zimage)

Not it's own bml.

i believe bml5 is the button combos to boot into recovery, download. which are contained in the secondary bootloader.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:
Thanks for your help again but I'm confused. From the post I was reading about it was saying to get recovery.bin for and odin pack go to adb shell and use to command dd if=/dev/block/bml9 of=/sdcard/recovery.bin bs=4096. Of course though this is for a droid charge and another post i found on another phone was a different place too, so i imagine it is different for the captivate.

is bml4 and bml5 both secondary bootloader?

You need to research Kernel's and find one that can be overclocked and works with Darky's Rom.
[General Questions and Answers] heinz1:
so xxkg6 unable to oc ?
[General Questions and Answers] killall:
XXKG6 is your Modem, not your Kernel, if you look at the first post of Darky'sRom it tells you about the kernels, I suspect you are on CF-Root kernel.

There are various kernels that can be overclocked, look at Ninphetamine thread. I don't know if it is comaptable with your rom, but the only way to find out is BACKUP, flash new kernel through CWMManager or Odin and give it a go:D
[General Questions and Answers] heinz1:
erm ok like this . i jus bought this phone not longer

and didn't even install any other app now

jus F.reset

It would be the app developer(s) that have to update to use the FFC. The big reason Google Talk doesn't work is that it wasn't built for our phones, and we're taking it from another device. So, talk to Google and tell them to fix it.

So my Sensation 4g is only my 2nd Android phone... G2 being the first and i've decided to start modding this one. Last night I followed the 4 steps to get the phone switched to s-off and then rooted.

Do I need TI back up if I already have CWM?

If you dont want all the nice graphics from Sense roms go with No-sense like the other person suggested. If you like Sense, then you can try any rom out there. I really like this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098849

I was using CM roms on all my other phones, but I guess porting it to this phone is taking a little longer and not everything is working properly.

There is a difference between TI Backup and CWM. CWM will back up the complete rom with all your setting and apps, TI back up will back up your apps with data and when you jump from ROM to ROM you can restore with TI back up all your apps with data just like you had them before flashing another ROM.

I would recommend getting the paid version of TI backup, the one click install saves you a lot of time.

Welcome to Android modding.
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
TI Backup can backup all your app+system data, so that if/when you install a new ROM you can restore your apps and any data you want to. CWM is good for essentially saving an entire ROM, but it can't help with restoring apps+data onto a new ROM.
