I though phoenix was a GB rom, either way this has been seen plenty before, twice by me. Wat I did was wipe the sdcard and redo th rom install. I probably took the long safe way around though.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
You probably are trying to redownload an app that you had before. Use Root Explorer to search your phone for any other files with that name in it. Say you are trying to reinstall the Youtube app, search your youtube and delete any other files you find, then download and install. Say it was the SPB 3D shell, search for SPB. You get the idea.

Today I removed my zagg full invinsible shield because it didn't fit ok so I got new one and I decided to perform a thought I had for long time....remove samsung logo!so I did it with pencil rubber and thats the result...what do you think??I love it :D
[Nexus S General] muldy:
Samsung did good job on this one, and deserves the recognition...

That's my opinion.

I'm definitely doing it...I had this idea of removing the logo for weeks but haven't put it in practice.

turned out a simple way to do that ^_^
[Nexus S General] p00kienrayray:
i personally would just remove everything altogether. not to discredit the 2 companies for the fine work theyve done, but all black no logos just looks sexy. besides, you've credited the companies already by buying their products.
[Nexus S General] stavros86:
I covered with sellotape the area around samsung logo then i rubbed it with a rubber with a red part and blue part, mainly with the blue part(harder) and then cleaning it with cotton.I had no scrathches but the part of the plastic with the logo was looking a little blurry at first from some angle, clean again with cotton and rubbing alcohol and it will reduce it.Today with the invinsible shield looks nice and shiny!
[Nexus S General] vennstrom:
I do some modelling and would normally use a sand paper after I stick 2 plastic parts together (400, 800, 1000, 2000, 3000) and will finish it with a polishing compound.

for budget or practicality I use this

just make sure you use number 4 to make it shining.
[Nexus S General] MaxCarnage:
I have a black soft case on my phone. Looks great and I don't have to rub any logos off. /shrug

EDIT2: BTW I don't have any skins/protectors on my Nexus S, it's naked ;)
[Nexus S General] corythug:
Your google logo is also much brighter then mine. Mine is silver ish. Maybe that's why mine won't come off.... Hmm
[Nexus S General] tylerwatt12:
I'm about to do this. I'm going to use nailpolish remover, rubbing alcohol a soft cloth and pencil rubber. will post results when finished~
[Nexus S General] stavros86:
Very nice job Jeremiah your nexus looks great!I can also confirm the same method works for Samsung Galaxy s, tried it on my cousin's galaxy and it looks great ;)
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:
The one I have is super soft. I might as well keep at it. Can't hurt the functionality but I'm gonna make a backup anyway.
[Nexus S General] tylerwatt12:
finished, looks good. some barely noticable micro scratches though
[Nexus S General] Jeremiah239:
It's the flash, it looks darker in real life.

I used an eraser that has two sides one soft and one hard, The soft side wasn't doing anything so I used the hard side. It was leaving some scratches but it was taking the logo off so I just went for it. After I was done I used a VERY fine polishing compound and after polishing for about an hour the result is a mirror finish, and you can't even tell there was ever a logo there.
[Nexus S General] Jeremiah239:
Thank you!
[Nexus S General] Esteway.619:
Looks good man. I'm going to try that.
[Nexus S General] corythug:
Thanks for the tip. Now to find a double sided eraser and polishing compound hah.
[Nexus S General] rtp20in:
I tried with different erasers. But no go. Any other way?
[Nexus S General] Jeremiah239:
Haha good luck, and remember I'm not responsible if you mess up your cover lol. ;)

Oh and fyi the hard side of my eraser is a "pen" eraser.
[Nexus S General] corythug:
Yeah that's I was thinking of when you said hard eraser. I do work at walmart... Overnight... I so I'm here as I type this I'm sure I can come across everything I need by the end of the night hah.

[Nexus S General] vennstrom:
Well..nothing to do and I thought I had one of those pen eraser but unfortunately I don't.

Just found some pencil eraser, tried for 3 minutes it didn't work..oh well I could buy the hard eraser these days and do it.

after several hours it's bugging me again and this time I do it again with more pressure...eventually Samsung gave up on me...:D

now..time to show it off in subway and let those curious eyes glaring at it trying to figure out what kind of beast this is.:p
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:
First of all, I want that blanket, rug, carpet, whatever the Nexus is laying on.

Secondly, you just applied extreme pressure when rubbing? I thought I was rubbing the logo pretty hard last night but I only have a Pink Pearl® eraser.
[Nexus S General] vennstrom:
none of the above sir..it's a towel :D

I just rub it hard not extreme and fast (very fast in fact) because I get annoyed of waiting for tomorrow to get a pen eraser, I didn't even put a tape around it.

disclaimer: I'm not worry of ruining the back cover because I have a spare one :D
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:
Still rubbing. Kind of annoying. Taking a cheez-it break right now. Gon post a pic of the eraser afterwards, thats more interesting than the samsung logo.
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:
I may do some more tonight.

well done nice job! it requires patience with rubbing (with hard pen rubber) but the result is great :D

[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:


Thank you.
[Nexus S General] formaldehyde:
Mine currently looks like this. It took about 15 minutes of erasing with a pencil eraser.

You can still see the stains left by the eraser in the pic, but it's not as bad in real life since the whole backside is covered in grease left from my hands anyways :D
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:
Kinda like it without the google logo.
[Nexus S General] unomedmen1:
While it does look very stealth-like, I think it also makes the phone look very generic or cheap. Does anyone else agree?

Not knocking your work or anything, just my opinion.

I'll probably still do this but only the Samsung brand.
[Nexus S General] rtp20in:
+1 to that. Even I want to keep the google logo.
[Nexus S General] X1111:
hey guys ,which rubber should we use ? (you that can do it)

can do that the soft ones ? because rough ones might make scratches...
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:


I used a Pink Pearl.
[Nexus S General] X1111:
thanks for the response

i'd seen your post before but i don't have this rubber ;)

is that hard or soft one ? and how long does it take ? please
[Nexus S General] stavros86:
mainly the hard one it will scratch only the samsung logo not the cover!
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:
The pink pearl is pretty soft, as you can imagine by the 'shavings' left over. Took a little bit of time, I paid attention to it for about two hours.
[Nexus S General] X1111:
finally i could do that too :D

now can tell this procedure strongly depends on kind of the rubbers ,not only soft or ragged one

i tried by three different kinds of rubber that had in house....

the result : mealy and thirsty rubber can remove it in less than 10 minutes without any scratches :cool:
[Nexus S General] tfd1978:

I tried to apply this on a white nexus s which is slightly textured; and it does not work.

any idea ?
[Nexus S General] chdeul:
I use car polish (scratch Remover) and after the logo is removed, I use a buffing car.

It's perfect. Sorry for my poor english :D
[Nexus S General] inhirz:
White nexus s ?
[Nexus S General] chdeul:
No, black cover. For me, in the white cover, it's more simple.
[Nexus S General] tfd1978:
How is it more simple on a white cover? I tried with a rubber (eraser) and nothing happens, cause it's not a polished plastic. Someone told me to try using nail polish remover, but I'm afraid that will damage the plastic. Any other ideas, for the white cover?
[Nexus S General] LuvinN1:
I used a very soft eraser. It did nothing at first so I applied more pressure (very hard) and speed and after 1 minute of rubbing the samsung logo came off with ease. BTW I taped around the logo just in case I buffed off any areas where I was not suppose to because it does take a layer of coating off. Use a car wax afterwards and it'll look like new.
[Nexus S General] stexyn:
Hi I removed the Google and samsung logo but now I'm the point when I erase the plastic have the rubber signs.

I maked a pictures.

What can I do now?

[Nexus S General] chdeul:
Use car polish and after a "lustreur" to polish your cover. No problem with this method.
[Nexus S General] LuvinN1:
use a car polish or wax. from the photo it seems you have not rubbed the samsung logo completely off. place the phone directly under a light. I orginally thought i had rubbed it all off only to realise after placing it under light that it was slightly visible.
[Nexus S General] LuvinN1:
anyone who might also think about doing this mod should take the time and tape around the logo. As i mentioned previously it does take a layer of coating off so rubbing off minimum surface area is best
[Nexus S General] stexyn:
Yes under the light the Samsung and Google logos are visible. I dont understand if I have to use now the car wax or the rubber again and then the car wax.

Please help my my cover look so bad now

I have to buy the car wax, it coasts 10 €....

I don't understand, viewing the other users images it seems they are ok just with the pencil rubber :confused:
[Nexus S General] LuvinN1:
keep on rubbing until all logo has been removed. Then rub with alot of force with any cloth to get rid of the rubber marks. i just used wet ones cause i had that lying around followed by polish and a cotton towel. good luck!
[Nexus S General] stexyn:
The logo is now removed.

I have no car Polish here so I tried to use red alcool without result.

I tried also with a cotton towel with little wather but nothing changed...I think the cover is damaged.

Look at the picture

[Nexus S General] X1111:
you should use a soft eraser not such ragged one :(

but take it easy and exchange the cover ;)

Result with car polish and "Lustreur" (i don't speak english very well)

Sorry for the white cover. This week i see that the white cover is not the same than black cover.
[Nexus S General] LuvinN1:
Sorry mate, but as the person has mentioned above I think you have used too hard of an eraser.
[Nexus S General] stexyn:
Yes but reading the thread all people used the hard part of rubber pen eraser!
[Nexus S General] vennstrom:
Correction. not all...several of us use pencil eraser.
[Nexus S General] thejron:
Didn't work for me. :(

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demoguy:
Hello XDA,

I've searched around for this problem a bit, and it seems this issue hasn't been brought up anywhere. If it has, then I apologize.

The S2 has an awesome display with great colors, blacks included, but I noticed this issue one night when I was watching a film on my S2. When the display is showing black/dark images you can clearly see what appears to be glue smudges all over the screen, especially along the rims. It is only noticeable when there's little to no other light in the surrounding environement. Increasing brightness seem to worsen the problem.

It is hard to describe and very difficult to capture on camera but I made an attempt. I can't post links yet it seems but here's an imageshack url:

img842.imageshack.us/img842/5420/blotches.jpg

The image was taken with a Canon 450D with 20 sec exposure (hard to focus when it's that dark I'll tell you). Edited slightly in photoshop to cut down the size.

Here you can see the general color of the screen (gray-ish) and some of the blotches of (what I'm guessing is) glue in the back. If I had to guess I suspect the blotches might come from the capacitive touch layer of the screen. Is this an issue or is it to be expected on phones like these? It's not a major problem but it's actually quite annoying when you're watching a film/youtube clip/playing a generally dark game or whatever. Should I return my device? I've used it for just about a week and a half.

Thanks in advance for any help.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzz:
Hey i was reading up about rooting for 2 weeks before i plunged in and took the step. Let's say on your first try, don't do anything that needs you to change radio etc.

Just use the superoneclick method to root it, then download rom manager (free from android market) and install clockworkmod recovery. This should be easy, as from rom manager all you need to do is click flash clockworkmod recovery, and it will do it for you.

Next find the rom you want, and download 3 files. One is the rom itself, the other is a kernel (example ezterry's) and finally gapps and put them on your sd card. Next reboot into recovery.

First you'll want to create a backup, go to backup and restore click backup, and let it do it's thing. Once it says backup complete, you'll need to wipe cache, and wipe date/factory reset.

Once you've done that, do install zip from sd card, and install the files in this order:

ROM first: (find where you put the zip file on your sd, and select it)

Then do install zip from sd card again & select the Kernel (if you need to flash a seperate kernel)

Then finally do install zip from sd card again and select the gapps, zip (this is basically the android market, and a few other google apps).

Next press reboot into recovery, and it should load into your new rom, if all has been done correctly. I just recently rooted and put a custom rom on my phone, and this is the way i did it, so it should work for you. Make sure you research rooting and flashing roms onto your phone, before you take the plunge though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Irierider:
Trying for dear life to get my new phone to run hulu.com, I've followed every ones instructions (about 4 or 5 people's) can't get it. Got the superoneclick "superuser" installed along with the "root explorer" and did the first 2 steps in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1119530

got hulu mobile on the phone

did this step---> StageFright removal (One time install only):

This is from Adrynalyne. Thanks so much for this fix! Took me all day to track this file that is phone neutral and test!

1.Extract all files from StageFright.zip attached to this post

2.Copy all files extracted to /system/lib

3.Reboot and you are set forever.

Note: Confirmed to work with m.youtube.com app and hulu and movies. YAY!

now this is the killer for me, I can't find the "/data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib" file anywhere? I really am screwing this up with my idiotic n006 head. I was stuck in iphone world too long.

Also I have a macbook pro running Lion OS if that mades it even harder (seems to) any help would be so so so great, I think I did it all right, but I need to find that file so I can copy the hacked flash into it!!

this is the step I have problems with!

Component 3: Hacked flash to work with Infuse 4G

Excerpt instructions for Infuse (Needs to be redone everytime you reboot):

1.Update Flash to current Market version (10.3.185.23)

2.Extract libflashplayer.so from libflashplayer.zip attached to this post

3.Copy libflashplayer.so to /sdcard

4.Copy libflashplayer.so from /sdcard to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib using root explorer, adb, or a terminal. I recommend making an extra copy of the modified libflashplayer.so in case it's replaced on reboot.

5.Make sure the permissions for libflashplayer.so are rwxr-xr-x (chmod 755).

Did I not install my superuser or root explorer right? Is there anyone who could help me trouble shoot my seemingly simple problem?
