Thank you!

Thank you for providing an alternative to this thread, I am going ahead and jumping over to that site right now!!!!

No problem here ot help ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] anthonyandrews:
In the first section, you see a group of address like:

020889A4 - pESN

0209AC38 - MEID

020A0344 - pESN

020A9BD0 - pESN

020B012C - MEID

020B06D8 - pESN

025A4158 - MEID

You need to enter those as:

0x020889A4

0x0209AC38

0x020A0344

0x020A9BD0

0x020B012C

0x020B06D8

0x025A4158

In short, I added 0x in front of each one that did not have it, and make sure you do NOT enter the -MEID or -pESN into QXDM. Becareful to watch out for "extras" as some entries showed my ESN two or three times on one page.

Any luck? I have the same issue on Sprint. On my first phone call, I got routed to some sprint number for an "error 16," for security verification. I can now make and receive calls, but no data. Did I miss a step somewhere?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zarboz:
Why not use the qmat script and not mess with finding all the esn locations

If you'd like instructions please PM me

I have an easier solution than lookin for all the esn and meid locations its contained in a qmat script for use with revskills

Once again PM me for the solution I don't like posting publicly
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] disco_y2k:
can anyone direct me to the revskills script and let me know what radio version i need for this?

thanks,

cheers,

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Starburst13:
Let me get this straight we have to flip the meid, then zero them out after?

What is the point of flipping the meid? What does the actually do?

And why do we have to flip the ESN, I thought that did not have to be written, as it would follow the MEID write.

Thanks

I am just the opposite I can get great Data services, but no calls. I believe the data has to do with properly inserting the AAA secret passwords, ha shared passwords and then your get Data.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] c00lfij0les:
How exactly did you do that? I got the script but how do I run in in revskill I can't figure it out. Im stuck in the same place you where When i go to write it it gives me an error
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cisco3280:
I am in the same boat !! Help !!!

One more thing, will it work with the HTC Incredible?

Switching with dumb phones

After about an hour trying to convince sprint to activate my evo shift with out a data plan, even confronting them about letting there partners and employees being able to do it they still refused, not even jedi mind tricks would work.

Rather paying for a data plan, could i switch my evo shifts ESN to my current dumb phones ESN and be able to use it as such?, thanks for your time.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zarboz:
Yes
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zarboz:
You may need to manually edit the mdn and MIN numbers tho since you'll have no data the hands free activation won't finish
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Rafabaca:
Thanks so far guys.

Im completely stuck on this part

"Now carefully copy a MEID or ESN address from your saved notepad file to the "Address" field and press enter. Example: 0x108D8FE0"

When ever i place my ESN my phone just restarts and i can't find my reversed ESN or MEID in the matrix below.

I noticed that the example is different from what he used earlier as well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zarboz:
Use a qmat script to repair your meid
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gzetski:
I'm in the same boat as this guy ^^^

Phone reboots while trying to search for ESN, will not accept the MEID as a search string.

Am I possibly on the wrong radio? As far as the Qmat script, I found something dealing with the Evo 4, not the Shift. Is it the same script?

I have been searching high and low for the solution, and come up empty, stuck rebooting

Okay did not want to resort to this, but i'm asking for help. Been working on flashing an evo to boost with a rant donor. Rant IS activated and fully functional, evo is xx9.01 radio or w/e and ready to bend over and receive. i will zero out meid/esn's verify, change profile, nam, mdl, msid, prl. Reset after profile<which i do last> yes i set active user to 0. when it comes on nothing so I ##RTN# and reset i get a quick 3G "boner" cancel the activation as soon as possible and the 3g goes away. I ##RTN# and check esn, msid, all of that other happy stuff and it all gets reverted to origional! im sooo agrivated doing it for my father after i get home from work daily and is starting to become not worth it.

OK I understand a bit of this thread but don't understand all of the steps. Can't you just use cdma workshop to do all of this? Just put in the 16 digit password and re write the MEID and ESN using the HTC method and be done with it? Or is there something I'm missing. I just am not getting the point of this thread? Can anyone fill me in?

[Off-topic] VeryCoolAlan:
Hello again.

I tried talking to a girl but failed miserably so I decided to post here and see what great suggestions I get.

Alright there is this girl I think is really cute.....her name is Alanna.....I know, I know ...."Alan, you like a girl named Alanna?" Yes I do.

Okay so I have a class with her (Cullinary Arts) but my schedule is about to change in a day or so ...I wanna get to know her before I leave the class as I see her in the hall sometimes.

The thing is I don't wanna randomly come up to her as that would come off as really weird....how do I come off as not creepy and at the same time how do I say hi?
[Off-topic] duboi97:
Do the opposite of what your doing right now. So you get it since your weird now do the opposite to be unweird lol.
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
She's just a human being like yourself. Don't make it complicated when the only thing you need to do is to open your mouth.

If you act weird, she'll see you as a weird guy. Act normal as you would do around your friends and just imagine that you've knowned her for years.

I'm using the last part myself when i talk to strangers, and it makes it much easier to have a conversation.

Don't be scared. She won't bite (i hope).

Just be yourself and don't act like a fool. Well, at least not too much like one :P
[Off-topic] Dirk:
You're doing 'culinary arts' together so why not invite her over for dinner one evening? Tell her you're trying out a new dish and want her opinion.

When i was at school it was known as home economics, and was considered something that only girls studied. I've always said that real men know their way around a kitchen and it's a great asset to have when wooing the ladies!
[Off-topic] Bundles456:
First step is when you see her, say "What's going on." (Which really translates to hi) She should smile, say hey and you've just made your first move. Now you are free to start speaking to her more and more.
[Off-topic] xnopasaranx:
Take that tip by dirkgently! Just walk up to her after class and tell her honestly that you would like to get to know her better and invite her to cook with you. If you act all cool she will look right through you and you'll probably make a fool of yourself. If you are genuinely nervous, she will probably think it's cute! Nothin can really go wrong if you are genuine and if she then thinks you are a creep, well then she might just be a superficial douche and you don't want to date someone like that anyway.

Good luck man...

[Epic 4G General] turbosocks:
I know I am new to the Android Modding world and these forums and all, but today I finally figured out how to make a 9 patch PNG image quite easily. I was playing around with RandomKing's Modified Transparent MMS.apk and his Blue Swype.apk today to get it to look more like I would want it on my device.

This brings me to wondering what other people would like to see in these to .apks and far as theming goes. I am going to totally revamp the Swype Keyboard with the font that is used in RandomKings Hawk v.2 ROM as well as change the look of the buttons, colors, etc. side note: I tried playing with transparency of the swype keyboard a bit to mimic the transparent MMS, but there is the other 'keyboards' behind that image. IIRC it is the 'shift' version of w/e active keyboard.

For the MMS.apk, I am looking to make more color options, bubble styles and some gradiesnts'borders/glow instead of solid transparent colors.

I have been given the 'go' by random as I understood as long as I credit his original modifications.

I have no idea to code or compile a .zip to install and all that stuff, so these will be just the .apks that you will need to replace. ( I have done this already with my Swype.apk and MMS.apk about 20 times, haha)

Brings me to my next area of biniss... What would YOU guys like to see as far as themes go? I will probably do a few variants (colors) of one or two major styles.

Personally, I am all about dark themes, but i know everyone has their preference's

So, post up, throw in some ideas, ask questions.. I will NOT be taking donations or charging for ANYTHING, ever..

It took me a while to find out how to get this 9 patch stuff working and I almost lost hope when I saw that you had to use Eclipse (which i am NOT ready to learn) but now I found a MUCH easier way. I can do a tutorial and compile everything you need for this also if i have enough requests.

EDIT: you can choose as many or as little choices in the poll as you would like. If you don't see something you want, post it in the thread. I will try to keep on top of the comments in this thread, but I am going to start working on it right now.
[Epic 4G General] GuestK00145:
I'm a fan of dark themes myself, and I really like the froyo AOSP theme with the white status bar. Do you think you can make a theme I've been thinking of for awhile I have a lot of ideas nd icons you can use?
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
Wp7 bubbles on mms?
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
I'm just excited you showed up! Make the background transparent.
[Epic 4G General] tpike:
Pm me I'll help you do the zip scripting.easy peasy.
[Epic 4G General] turbosocks:
just started all the mms bubbles from scratch.. not exactly the look i was going for but here is 1 hr of work..
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
Ooh I got a great idea

Make swype full transparent

except for the line and add it a changeable theme to nexus swype
[Epic 4G General] turbosocks:
as i said before, i dont think the way the swype keyboards overlay that the transparency will work. i will have to look into it a bit more though.

here is a little more playing and refining with different colors.. i think the slight borders will look nice and the transparency on the bubbles is about right. i think making them a little more transparent will be nice for people with dark wallpapers, but might get a little busy/ugly looking with people with lighter wallpapers that have a ton going on, like so VVV

let me know what you guys think about the general button look so far.

@tpike, sending PM in a moment, really appreciate the offer to help a n00b like myself.

background of the MMS is already slightly transparent, what you see in the background is my wallpaper.

@gtuansdiamm, show me exactly what you are looking for and I can try to make something for you.. and let me know what colors you would like.

again, I just figured out how to get these patch 9 dealios to work today, so don't be to critical :P I love these things now.. SOOO easy.. created, edited, patched and compiled 12 pngs in ~1hr. not to bad!!!

I will try to make a camstudio video tutorial on how to create a patch 9 from scratch. I just downloaded it and had an issue, so ill try again tomm. Starting to be a huge PITA looking at this screen also. I have my computer hooked up to my 52" rear projection TV right now o.O.. my eyes hate me..
[Epic 4G General] shane6374:
That looks pretty cool. That blue is pretty close to what I was thinking for HCFE mms in the update.
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
I would like left blue and right black

And the shape of the bubbles like the ones in the crappy low res picture I gave

Thanks for taking the time

xda app now has ty button so I'll do that too
[Epic 4G General] turbosocks:
^^ ill try to get on that this weekend if i get a chance..

heres the start to my re-vamp'd keyboard for swype, im not just coloring it, i am re-designing the buttons and using the smooth font in RandomKings ROM.

the 14 different pngs for the keyboard will keep me budy for a while, but since i will be saving PSDs of each one, i will be able to fully customize colors and the look of the button (bevel, shadow, etc.) quickly and save them all to PNG, recompile apk and voila, new swype look in less than an hour...

i can also post any PSDs i create for those interested in taking this on themselves as long as you credit me with the PSDs
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
This Is looking good dude!

Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G General] turbosocks:
thanks.. I think I am going to add some subtle gradient to the button itself, but not so its to flashy and eye burning.. not quite like the dark horse theme with the glassy look, more subtle.

I am going to keep the .psds so i can easily modify the look of the buttons if someone wants something different. these PSDs are going to end up being like 100 layers a piece.. o.O at least the layout of PT and LS are pretty much the same for the button layout!

For the MMS, I am also going to try to modify the look of the top 'contact background' and the compose line background to match the respective theme.
[Epic 4G General] turbosocks:
alright!! sorry for the week or so hiatus!! I HAVE been trying to find time to work on this..

I just spent a couple hours getting the 9 patch tutorial together and posted that up.

I started working on an Actual theme that should be complete by tuesday. This will be a blue/black theme with gradients.. the send message for example will have a blue top/ black bottom and the receive will be black top/blue bottom. the shades of blue will differ slightly. This should cover the blue/black theme. The bubbles will be slightly transparent and less transparent when pressed.

Some other theme mods will include the 'NEW MESSAGE background, text input background, contact header background (within message stream) contact PRESS background within overall message area, the 'slide for call and message' (left and right) will be darkened slightly to more match the theme.

Next up will be continuing to work on the Swype theme to match the blue/black theme. After everything is complete, creating new themes based on these will be a cake walk..

There hasn't been many votes, but as of right now i will be doing the following themes for MMS and Swype.

Blue/Black

Gray/Black

Purple/Pink

Green/Black

I will be modifying a script and such so these can be installed via a .zip flash and WILL test it on a few phones before I post it up.

Hope you guys enjoy! and I hope this will continue to go decent so I can continue to theme other apps!!

[Epic 4G General] turbosocks:
nope, this is for EG22 still.

can you send me a EC05 working MMS.apk possibly and I can go ahead and see what is different? if its as simple as changing the names of the files it will be quite easy.

have you tried pushing this to EC05 by any chance?
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
We tried. Do you have a dropbox you could share? I'm using mms from honeycomb fusion.
[Epic 4G General] turbosocks:

yeah, i tried pushing it to frozen 1.2 last night when i flashed it without result.. ill download the honeycombfusion theme right now and take a look at the MMS.apk.
[Epic 4G General] turbosocks:
The root, can you try flashing this?

its just with the moved over bubbles and a couple other things.. id rather not flash my phone to ec05 to try it out, haha.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39465740/EG22-TurboSocks-MMS_BlackBlue.zip EG22 TESTED and working

let me figure out how to 'share' my dropbox. i haven't played with it much, only uploaded to my public folder. i don't have much time to figure some of this stuff out as i do most of it while i'm at work or very rarely at home with the kids runnin' around causing chaos.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Will do on break at work.

Btw, you should post a thread in apps. If the EG22 is working, it's your badboy to post.
[Epic 4G General] turbosocks:
I will post it in there! I just want to get some feedback from a few users on both EG22 and the EC05 (it looks like it will work, but who knows) before I consider it something that should be posted.

guess i need to write a silly disclaimer and such also. haha
[Epic 4G General] turbosocks:
just had a friend confirm that the EC05 app works on EC05!!
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Stunning... Just stunning.
[Epic 4G General] turbosocks:
now that they both work, ill get together a thread in the app forum. I will have to have someone test this on EH06-17 and if they don't work, get them a working one also.

I just bought an hd2 and it has some paint (I'm guessing wall paint). Its really difficult to see the notification light. I just wanted to see if anyone knows how to remove the paint without ruining the phone. I've added some pictures have a look.
[HD2 General] GnatGoSplat:
If there is no screen protector and just glass, any solvent would work fine like lacquer thinner, mineral spirits, acetone and you might even try rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol.

If you use any of the thinners, I would use a Q-tip to ensure none gets on the plastic housing. Alcohol won't hurt the housing.

I know for fact lacquer thinner is strongest and will remove almost any non-enamel and uncured enamel paint.

Also, a little soapy water and just scratching at it with your fingernail might do the job as well.
