[Defy General] networkn:
Hi There!

I have flashed a number of phones, most that I have owned, from Windows to Android and a new in between. I see Cyogenmod mentioned a LOT on android devices. Is it a completely different OS to android or just a new skin or something? I am trying to decide if flashing my Wife's Defy is a good idea and if so what to flash with. She is pretty happy the way it is, but it seems to have an ongoing problem with the speakerphone function (I can only hear part of words unless she shouts continuously.

If I install CM7 (Is this the most improved and stable ROM for Defy, do you think it will fix the speakerphone issue? Secondly, will all the normal android apps work, and lastly can I still sync the phone with the android/outlook syncing product she uses?

Is there any 2.3.4 stable ROM's for the defy?
[Defy General] saiftheboss7:
First things first! You should know what is CyanogenMOD. Click Here To Know

I think that your all problems will be solved once you flash CM7
[Defy General] labsin:
This will not help for the speakerphone issue. It is a known bug. You need to return it to the shop with original firmware. I have to do this to. Will be free.
[Defy General] Adityaak:
If yøµ still haves the warranty than yøµ should replace it.it will easy.

Recently I figured out that while running some apps on my phone suddenly the display becomes dim and the phone doesn't respond. the application doesn't force close but i have to press the back key three times to make the screen bright and force the phone to respond. this issue doesn't always arise on the same app. i faced this issue two times. one such app was friendcaster for Facebook. while moving from newsfeed to the main panel, screen went dim and phone didn't respond to touch taps or option s hard key. the other app i don't remember. running cm7's latest stable release

:confused:hello all i have 3 questions : my phone is HTC legend with rom android 2.1 SFR

1-when i upgrade to this firm whats the probleme i dont uderstand ?

2-tell me what is the Gold card for my phone is it necessary ?

3-what is the best rom for my phone and latest ? and how i can make the rom to my device

thank's
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fouadsba:
wtf no one here
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psyionx:
I can say the best Rom is blay0s Rom. You may also try cyanogenmod and also ogo2s Rom the new ginger-sence ROM ported from other HTC phone.

Goldcard is a must in changing rom at first. It's just some codes stored in the card to fool the phone to take the SD card as an update media.

Before you start reading everything. You can help yourself by finding what hboot version you have in your phone by off your phone. Than press vol down + power button. There's this hboot number will help you in your process.

Read the forum sticky on the sec side for howto. Many have rooted their phone and change to other ROM just reading the howtos. I'm sure you'll manage. Don't worry, your phone will less likely to be brick from the howtos.

Take some time.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
What kind of router do u have

.......infuse.....Infused....infusion.........
[Samsung Infuse 4G] benyben123:
ahhhh i don't know.

the one that came with the REFUSE V1.7 ROM I guess ):
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
No.your router is what makes your internet wireless bro

.......infuse.....Infused....infusion.........
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Mime gets weak signal too I have Linksys wireless n but it was a cheaply so its my fault

.......infuse.....Infused....infusion.........
[Samsung Infuse 4G] benyben123:
ohhh, ok.

how can I know?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] daddymatt:
I just got my infuse and my data through wifi is horrid as well. I have a euro SGS2 also and got the infuse to play around with... The wifi is so slow its unbearable... Side by side comparison is a joke.. I hope this isnt normal. running infused oc'ed to 1.6, but the wifi was absolutely crawing on stock as well so i dont think what im running has anything to do with it. If somebody has a tweak that iv missed, it would be greatly appriciated!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] daddymatt:
Oh, and i have the newest dualband aiport extreme with two airport express's acting as repeaters.... Getting 65mbps... Not the router.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
If it's that slow you'll need to test by connecting to other access points to see if you get the same speeds on other equipment. If you do, first thing I'd try is another ROM. If the problem persists I'd get a new phone.

That's just me. You guys do what you want.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] daddymatt:
Yeah, thats what i was thinking... I was at a hotel this weekend running stock and it was crazy slow... Thought it was the access point... Got home, still the same... New phone time!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZenorGR:
Hello, I am looking forward on creating my own them for Galaxy S2, so I suppose I need to find where all the icons are located.

I will probably open the stock samsung theme graphics in photoshop and edit them, so any idea where they are located?

Is this the correct way of doing it?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Dark Emotion:
Easy and beginers way:

Start with UOT kitchen: http://uot.dakra.lt/

Get the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from the rom which you want to theme. Upload it to the kitchen and edit what you want.

Cook the theme and flash it with CWM as an update.

More advanced:

Get the toucwiz's framework and Settings.apk, you can edit png's of settings menu and touchwiz launcher. (you can not do this with UOT kitchen)

And check out this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=916814

GOOD LUCK!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bluehell:
Thanks Dark Emotion, good guide!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZenorGR:
Thank you, what about the Notification bar power controls? Where can these be found?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Dark Emotion:
In the UOT kitchen: go to icons (check "Use this mod"), scroll down and check "Notification Power Buttons" and just choose any icon set you want. You can choose between 8 types of icons.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZenorGR:
No I meant, in which apk are they found, so I can replace them with my own.

Is it on the framework-res.apk or systemUI.apk ?

/edit: Found them, on SystemUI.apk -> res folder

But it seems they are indexed png images, so can't edit them in photoshop. I suppose I will have to replace them.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZenorGR:
Ok one more question would be, is it possible to change the color of the White popup windows?(like the one that popus when you long press the power button).

I know it's possible to edit the background color, but what about the font color? I suppose it's found on the xml.

Here's how the popup is displayed on kitchen:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Dark Emotion:
Sorry man but I don't know answer to that question. :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZenorGR:
Well I found that the font colors may exist on framework-res\res\values\colors.xml if you decompile framework-res.apk

But after changing a color value, I then compiled the apk, replaced the new on on my phone and got boot loop so I had to re-flash a different theme to unstuck.

If anyone got any idea on how to change the font colors let me know!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dully79:
If you have a search in the "how to theme" thread (link already posted) I put up a zip that I had lying on my desk top that tells you where to find a lot of the text colours.

The only problem with editing these is some apps will still use their own colour code and could cause problems like readability.

Hope this helps.:)

Edit: I had them on my sd card, credit to the creator!!!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZenorGR:
In which page dully? :p
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dully79:
I've posted them in my last post m8
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZenorGR:
Oh now I see it, so the one I am looking for is bright_foreground_light color. I want that in white, so the hex would be this one right? #ffffffff

Well that's what I did, then compiled the framework-res and replaced it on the Systems folder, then rebooted the phone but I got a reboot loop.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dully79:
What did you use apkmanager?

If so did you answer yes and yes then delete what you modified from the keep folder
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZenorGR:
I used apktool:

apktool b framework-res(folder)

but as I can see now, the new apk compiled it's missing the META-INF folder, maybe that's why?

/edit:

So I just tried with apk-manager, I used the same method then compiled (answered yes/yes) now I have this:

unsignedframework-res.apk

But getting an error when trying to sign it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dully79:
Don't sign it, you don't sign system apks.

Just delete the "unsigned" part or rename to framework-res.apk and push or flash and it should work.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZenorGR:
Ok thanks.

I just replaced it but no go, the font is still black(atleast there is no boot loop this time).

I suppose I messed up the part on apk_manager where it says to delete any files you modified on the "keep" folder.

On keep folder there was no value/colors.xml(colors.xml is the one I edited the bright_foreground_light).

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dully79:
Did you delete resources.arsc?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZenorGR:
No, let me try again.

Success! Dude you rock! Thanks a lot, for providing lot's of great info about this, here it is: blue font and full black pop-up menus.

Also attached two more shots of the theme I am making:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dully79:
Basically resources.arsc is the"hidden" xml folders that become visible when you decompile.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dully79:
Good stuff, happy to help.:)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZenorGR:
Yeah, now I see :cool:
[General Questions and Answers] scottydogg:
I have a Motorola Photon, and I had tried to get the old Market backet back with a process I found in the forum. It didn't work, and somewhere along the line I lost the Market all together. I tried wiping the phone back to factory and the Market app did not come back. I tried to just install a version from 4Shared, but still doesn't work with any version I install. It says that "com.android.vending has quit unexpectedly" and then it FC's. It only seems to do this when I go to download an app. I can browse and search fine with no problems, just no downloading!! I admit I'm a noob, and probably messed with something I shouldn't, but I figured this would be a nondestructive thing to learn on. Man was I wrong!! This sucks...please help me!!
[General Questions and Answers] arifafzan:
Did your phone rooted ? if rooted just backup all ur apps, and flash custom rom back. that way will restore all basic app. wait, did u try install market.apk ?
[General Questions and Answers] scottydogg:
Yes...I was rooted but no custom rom. I don't know how to do that yet. This is going to sound stupid, but what exactly is a custom rom? After I wiped to factory condition I tried to install a vending.apk from 4shared and that still gives me same error. I will uninstall again and try a market.apk now. Is that the same as vending.apk?
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
A factory reset will only delete user data, it won't put back something that has been removed. You need to get the vending apk for the version you want and instead of installing it normally put it in /system/app. You can do so using Root Explorer or another root level file explorer. If you don't have one installed, I can post the apk of a free one for you. Mount system as r/w and copy/paste the apk into /system/app, then set permissions to rw-r--r--, then reboot. You should have your market back up & running.
[General Questions and Answers] scottydogg:
That's what I originally tried to do and didn't work, but I will try it again...If you could post an apk of the market you know is good that would be great. Can u post an apk of a root explorer also? I havent checked 4shared yet. Is there another free download service other than 4shared? Thanks for your help!!
[General Questions and Answers] LordManhattan:
Just download Market and install it. If it FC then check the permissions.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1231290

(It's the new market btw. I know you don't want it, but you don't really have a choice at the moment)
[General Questions and Answers] scottydogg:
Ok so this is weird!! I left the Market that wasn't working installed by mistake. I installed the OTA update that Motorola did, and then re-rooted my phone again. Now the Market is working for the most part!!! Only thing is...it FC's every time iot installs an app. It downloads and installs, but right after it installs it FC's!! It doesn't always close all the way...sometimes just goes to Market home screen. All the functionality seems to be working though, so I can deal with that.

Does anybody know why after the OTA update I can only get EDGE instead of 3G on a Rogers SIM card?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camille93:
Hi guys,

I've got a Problem with my Desire: It won't boot up, it's simply stuck at the HTC screen, but I can access the Recovery though. I did a full wipe but still the same problem.

Any idea what's wrong with my phone? This whole thing started when I wanted to reboot it due to connectivity issues with my WiFi network. I used the reboot command from the advanced power menu.

Technical details:

Amoled Desire, Running InsertCoin Nightly A2SD, S-OFF using Alpharev, Stock H-Boot, 8GB Sd-Card.

Many Thanks in advance :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gen_scheisskopf:
I'd try reinstalling kernel or rom, or restoring /system and boot from backup if you have one. It looks to me that something is wrong with kernel modules stored on /system partition (more likely) or with kernel itself (less likely)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camille93:
Thank you :-)

Reinstalling the rom did indeed the job
[HD Mini General] puxus:
I new about DroidExplorer, but it`s not a solution for me. First of all it don`t works on my Win7. And the main thing, is that i use my phone as storage, to transfer files between different computers. It`s not usefull, I can`t install DroidExplorer on all of them...

So, folks, tell me pleace, how do you solve this problem (maybe some mount widget or some other trick)?

Thanks!!!
[HD Mini General] redeye998:
Find HTC Sync from the official HTC Site (just google it).

It worked for me!

EDIT: Also i heard about "MyPhoneExplorer" but I did not try it yet.
[HD Mini General] puxus:
HTC Sync, MyPhoneExplorer - it`s the same story, as with DroidExplorer. Is there some solution without installing any soft on PC? As it works in WinMo.
[HD Mini General] redeye998:
Before I installed HTC Sync, i think that - When i connected my phone to PC, i found somewhere the option to show as a Hard Disk (or removable disk w/e)

I selected that and worked fine! (i did not transered anything but i am 100% that happened)
[HD Mini General] codiak:
DroidExplorer, MyPhoneExplorer and QtADB runs fine on Win7.

I also use Wifi to transfer files.
[HD Mini General] puxus:
Does anybody tried "Multi Mount SD-Card" or "Dual Mount SD"? I found some advices about this apps on HD2 Android forum... Maybe it will work for us?
[HD Mini General] 15MA1L:
How do I use the Phone's Storage Card as a Disk Drive?

Connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable. Open the Notifications panel. In the Notifications panel, touch “Select to change USB Connection Type” and change it to Disk Drive.
[HD Mini General] puxus:
Oh great, so simple!!! Dude, i made it! For several times, with every releace, and it don`t works! And it seems, I am not the one...
[HD Mini General] jomaga:
Be careful, this way works sometimes but usually the files you have copied to SD won't show in Android when you mount back your card, and will be converted to temporary LOST.DIR files. So the best way to copy files is from WM or transfer them with Wifi
[HD Mini General] 15MA1L:
LOL, mine is working correctly also DroidExplorer and MyPhoneExplorer, I think the problem can be with OS and Phone drivers Compatibility on your komputer ?

EDIT:

DroidExplorer is sometimes unstable!

MyPhoneExplorer - always worked well
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
DroidExplorer works,yes..but as he said he is not interested in this...

DiskDrive doesn't work ---> http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/issues/detail?id=36 how come it works for u lol
[HD Mini General] jomaga:
You can transfer files correctly with Usb disk mode?
[HD Mini General] puxus:
I don`t think that the only problem is in my PC, because the issue still present. I`ve read several threads about Android on HD2. And many people says that data transfer don`t works on SD-card port, because android runs from SD. And in NAND version everything is ok...

Did you read my question?
[HD Mini General] 15MA1L:
with Usb disk mode

yes! it work! only astro can not show it until you reboot. Unmount SD card does not help. I copied NOW picture 3.5 MB and reboot and I see with astro the picture is here !

want to make a video ?
[HD Mini General] puxus:
LOL!!! So we need to reboot everytime? Don`t you think it takes a lot of time? Thanks for your posts, but it`s not a solution. I`m Waiting for fix from devs.

P.S. Anybody try widgets, about I wrote before? (I have no oportunity to run android now, so I am asking you, guys, to try)
[HD Mini General] cbolumar:
Multi mount SD works 100% OK.
[HD Mini General] liorderei:
i use virtual data cable it works great!!!
[HD Mini General] jomaga:
Multi mount SD working perfect so far

Thanks cbolumar!!
[HD Mini General] puxus:
YES! Multi Mount SD-Card is working! I think this info must be in FAQ!

P.S. Some devs of HD2 port, include this programm inside of their releace, i think its usefull.
[HD Mini General] 15MA1L:
I am glad that you can finally copy files on your phone
[HD Mini General] puxus:
Yeah! But it`s a pity that I found this solution on forum for other device... (i mean HD2).
[HD Mini General] 15MA1L:
I wrote to help, things what i know...:(
[HD Mini General] puxus:
Of Course thanks for every answer here! I hope this thread will be helpfull for other users... ;)
[HD Mini General] -r0bin-:
it's not a pitty, it's a good thing!

why shouldnt you search there?

most of the issues we face on hdmini were faced before on hd2

its just great if we can benefit from their experience

and you have the right to search for such solution ;)

[Atrix 4G General] WolfFX:
Hello Atrix owners,

(jump to "The ideas" if you dont want to hear my story! :D)

Got my Atrix at&t last friday, still tweaking it to my likings, but when I started playing Apparatus, emulators, AirAttackHD, and other games to test the power of the TEGRA chip, I felt the phone becoming warmer and warmer.

EDIT: Played 1 lap on Riptide, went to check on the processor temp: 61 degrees celsius.

I opened the back case. The bottom area, specially above the microSD card, was very hot (based on motorola defy's temps, my previous android phone)

The battery itself wasn't even warm, except for the region near the bottom left.

I was scared I had gotten a defective unit, so I came to xda forums, and most of the topics related to temps came to the same conclusion: that was the normal operating temps under load from the dual core processor.

Still, it worries me because of the position in which they've placed the microSD port. My card's max. operating temps are 60 celsius, and my processor was doing 52 within 5-10 minutes of gaming. :(

Also, I'm a little obsessed with computer components getting too hot. I've seen lots of motherboards leaving this world because of that.

The ideas:

Since I had recently bought a ICDiamond thermal paste, I started thinking about modding the atrix's case to dissipate more heat, someway.

This page shows a teardown of our phone: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Atrix-4G-Teardown/4964/2

You can see in the board's pictures that the NVIDIA CPU/GPU chip along with the 1gb memory its exactly above the microSD slot - marked in yellow in STEP 10

I was thinking about removing the metal plate covering the chip itself, apply some thermal paste there that would transfer heat to the metal plate. (see picture)

Then, above the metal plate, on the plastic cover shown in this picture, maybe put a small copper sheet (or other heat conducting material) on the inside, to spread the heat to a larger area.

Maybe drill some holes on the plastic cover to expose this metal to the area just under back cover.

One concern (also shown in the picture and in the website) is the magnetic compass, marked blue on the attached pic. Would the metal sheet cause any kind of interference? :confused: I could use some help on this from someone with more knowledge on magnetic physics and eletronic compasses.

I haven't done any sorts of thermal modding on computers, graphics cards, etc., so I would like some help, insights, and improves on my initial ideas, so we can have cooler dual core smartphones :cool:
[Atrix 4G General] G-Man.:
Nice post! I'm curious to see some reviews after some other brave souls try this... In theory it should help. As for the magnetic compass.... maybe try using aluminum foil... non magnetic, and will dissipate some heat... probably not as much as the copper, but hey....
[Atrix 4G General] palmboy5:
This mod would be spreading out the heat from the CPU to about an inch away, but still in the phone, so what's the plan after that? Even without this mod, after maybe 10 minutes the bottom half of the phone is nice and warm under CPU-stressful activities anyway, there doesn't seem to be much need for more heat spreading ability... The heat spreads out fine, the real problem is getting heat away from the phone itself, not from the CPU.
