[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZenorGR:
Hello, is there an application to make all the application icons installed smaller?

Or do I have to do it for each icon separately?

I suppose there should be an xml setting somewhere for the icon size?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ekoandrew:
this question of yours should be in Q/A section
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] morg01:
Root your phone and modify the build.prop file under system/

ro.sf.lcd_density=240 (default) I set mine to 200

reboot
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZenorGR:
Hey, I just tried that but it doesn't work, icons are still the same size although it's set to 200. Do I need to delete cache/dalvik?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] aydc:
In ADW Launcher EX, you can set icon size freely. I don't think it's possible in TouchWiz.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZenorGR:
Forgot to mention, I am using go launcher. I am sure it's possible because a lot of go launcher ex themes use smaller icons, any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] karotti:
worked for me with standard TW 4.0 and KI4.

looks a little weired. not anly the app icons are smaller now. everything is smaller now. notification, phone, dock, apps, menues.....

take a look
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZenorGR:
Yeah because it has to do with the screen not the icons. So everything changes resolution. What I wanna do is to reduce all the icon sizes by an amount. How can this be done?

I suppose it can be found if you decompile a go launcher ex theme and change the xmls, but I can't find an option for icon size anywhere.

//EDIT:

I just found it, it was <scalefactor> on XML.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] larsemannen:
Hello, I recommend the free app Multicon.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] maheshhtc:
Try this

Hi.

Try with Multi icon widget. Its free in market. I have tested it and it works.

Rega
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZenorGR:
Yes guys but this doesn't resize all your icons in the system right? Only in the desktop. I was talking about the whole system, like App drawer.

Anyway I found the solution so thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] djmaz:
Try alt drawer. Use it instead of the default app drawer. Can change icon size and various other stuff
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] anibalin:
hey guys

Is there a way to get the icons labels transparent on desktop?

Yes, another camera thread.

First off, my camera seems a bit sluggish, like it pauses when I tap the gallery pictures, or settings.

Second off, when I exit camera, the screen like, re sizes itself, I have it in "8mp mode"

Does anyone else experience this?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rip Syntaxx:
I use Camera360 (free version) instead of the stock camera, but it tends to behave strangely as well... This may be completely unrelated since you're most likely referring to the stock camera. Anyhow, the camera will go to a black screen after I've taken a few pics and I'll have to close the app before the viewfinder will fully function again.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] scheatyj:
My camera360 does that too. I think the screen is funny there cause its not formatted for the qHD yet. The camera issue, I think is a update Camera360 needs, cause on my GFs Captivate, it doesn't have that problem.

Hi Everyone. I am trying to larn all this rooting and flashing thing! I have a rooted HTC Evo 4G. The Rom I am using is MIUI android 2.3.5 the kernel is 2.6.35.13-cyanogenmod. First off I need to know if this is the right rom to be using, I have a couple issues. One is that i dont have 4g anymore. Two is that my phone no longer works with my bluetooth in my car. Before it was rooted my phone hooked up to the car with no issues.

Most important like i said im tryng to learn, I had my phone rooted by someone else and have no idea how to flash a new rom or what I need to do so. So if someone could help me answer these questions and maybe direct me to where ever I need to go to learn, like flashing new rom for dummies! Thanks!!!
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crump84:
The reason your 4G isn't working is because it's not supported on MIUI. The ROM may be causing your bluetooth issue as well.

I can't really say if it's the right or wrong ROM, it's all about personal preference. You should probably look through the development section and see what ROM would best fit you. Also, there's several other threads on this section with people giving reviews/opinions of different ROMs..

As far as flashing ROMs, take a look at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1266885

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notsointeresting:
idk too much about miui because I dont use it.

MIUI does not support 4G as of yet (and may not ever) thats just something you lose.

As for the other issues I really don't know and can't help you with

To flash a new ROM you have to do these steps.

Download the ROM of choice

Put it on your SD Card (anywhere)

On your phone turn it completley off and hold down the "Volume Down & Power" at the same time

*From this point you use the volume keys to scroll up and down and power to select options*

Go to recovery and select it

once in recovery (you will be able to tell) go down to factory/data reset and click ok

Once that is finished go to wipe cache and select it

Once that is finished go to -advanced- then wipe dalvik cache and select it

once that is done go to "install zip from sd card"

then go to "choose zip from sd card"

find the ROM you downloaded and select it and flash.

Depending on the ROM it will take from 1-5 minutes to complete flashing. Once done just go to reboot at the top

It is also recommended to do the "wiping" steps 2-3 times (steps 7-9)

edit: damn crump you beat me to it :D

thank you for your help. I have been reading and reading and I have a better idea as to what i need to do. Im in the process of downloading Mikshifted v1.6. I did not see anything about weather it supports bluetooth or 4g, do you have a suggestion as to what rom does if this does not? And do i need a different Kernnal?

Thank you!
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
MikShifted G v1.6 is fully functioning. Everything works, 4G, Bluetooth, WiFi, WiFi Tethering, USB Tethering, everything works. Plus it has a lot of extras. One thing I will say it cannot at the present time be OC'd. No you do not need to flash a different kernel with it. Believe me when I tell you it does not need it.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crump84:
Everything should be working with MikShifted ROMs, as far as I know. Also, there's no custom kernels for Gingerbread Sense ROMs until htc releases the source code.

Edit: prboys ninja typing got me again!

thanks so much! i do not know what OC'd means though I am sorry... newbie! lol
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crump84:
Oc'd is just short for overclocked. Basically, until htc releases the source you can't use any overclocked kernels so you'll have to run at 800mhz, but MikG is surprisingly quick for running stock

another issue for the newbie!

I recently flashed the mik rom v1.6 and loved it everything went smoothly until i realized I am not getting any text messages. and before i go back to the miui rom I was using i figured I would ask if anyone else had this issue?

Thanks

I did switch the rom and still have the same issue any suggestions?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jedman67:
My personal preference for ROM is CyanogenMod (CM). It has everything a person can need and more, but its not noob friendly by any means (I learned that the hard way! Muchos thanks to Root Master Crump for taking me off the straight and narrow!). I've tried a few other ROMs and its really all about personal preference, as others have said. I like being able to customize out the wazzoo, but if you're looking for speed/performance and ease of use, Mik is very solid.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crump84:
You could try updating your prl and see if that helps.I think it's probably an issue with Sprint and not the ROM though. Maybe post something in the MikG thread and see if others are having issues.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessperry:
I have talked to sprint and its not on their end. I have doing alot of reading and not on answer on how to get my texting back. I tried going back to mIui and still not texts coming in. Im lost any ideas out there?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
You need to update your PRL and Profile. Then reboot the phone, but you have to be on Sense to do that. Also, as soon as you finish the flashing process. Send yourself an SMS/MMS. Before you start loading things onto the phone. That way it will help you narrow down the issue. So your sure it's not something your loading on the phone causing the issue.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entertain:
Hi guys,

I know that there are many threads about this topic, but no one of them helped me to find a solution for my problem. I hope somebody of you can give me the right advise how i can fix my phone.

These are the steps I did:

- Unrevoked Root

- AlphaRev S-OFF

- Installed Bravo CM7 r2 (by doing wipes in recovery-mode and install PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip)

Now I wanted to install one of these ROMs:

[ROM] Aurora v02

[ROM]Cool3D Sense 3.0

I proceeded like it is described everywhere. I choosed "Wipe data/factory reset" and "Wipe Davik" and then clicked on "Flash zip from sdcard" and choosed the zip.

However, my phone will stuck in a "quietly brilliant" loop. I proceeded a few times without success.

What did i do wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
You need 1gb ext4 partition on SD Card.

Repartition your SD, wipe everything and reflash again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
What Hboot you have?

Usually roms have two versions - stock and alternative hboot version

If you have stock hboot table use stock rom
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iga2iga:
Yes all you need is to download the right version of the rom cool3d CM7 r2, partition your sd with first FAT32 and the second EXT4 partition. 1gb EXT4 is enough. then wipe everything and flash your rom. then boot the rom set it up, restart it and flash app2sd (stockusers.zip from coolexe), don't flash a2sd right after the rom!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonbove:
Do what he says and it will work...

If you want even more space, then flash Bravo CM r2 hboot from alpharev...

Remember to update your radio also...

There is some small bugs in the ROM, but they are easy to fix :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iga2iga:
Sorry, just to add if you are on cm r2, you may flash the rom, run it, set it up, and then reboot and flash a2sd.kd.zip it will move dalvik cache to sd-ext, as i understand his roms for cm r2 contain a2sd from the start. so you get all aps on sd-ext and also dalvik on sd-ext.

I had trouble installing c7 mod,I have root ,supberuser,busybox,clockwork ROM manager, butall I got was skateon arrowrevolving over and over.so I kept doing recoverys with ROM manager. I was told use amon ra. Now I can,t get back to ROM mgr,or recoverys.

All I get is a white screen with HTC in it and ijumps to the stock power/volume down screen which all choices lead back to that.I canget the aman ra menu but i can,get the clockwork mod recoverys. Sprint tech said nothing can be done and warranty is void. I just bought it when I tresses in a 3d evo that got smashed they replaced in one day but that has boot 1.50000 any ideas? Is there away in amon ra to flash toalternate recovery mod?

the way clockwork let use amon ra?

Thanks inadvance

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
If you can get into recovery with Amon Ra, go the wipe function and wipe everything except the sd card itself. Do the Factory reset/User Data wipe. Wipe cache and dalvik cache twice, then reflash your ROM.

Remember, it'll take up to 10-15 minutes to boot up the first time
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
Not really sure what you mean but you can flash amon ra 2.3 from hboot if thats what your asking you can get the link to it from my sig.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
Yea you have to be more clear on exactly what it is you want to do and for crying out loud dont call Sprint and tell them your rooted. They wont help you and now you probably have been flagged....What ever it is you want to do, try a google search for it and make sure you read up on it carefully. If you are rooted and have Amon then you are in a great position
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan prevatt:
i agree with the last two posts.relax,and think.if you can get into hboot you are not bricked.do you have an og evo or the evo 3d?if its the og evo,then you need to find a pc36img.zip file and put it on the root of the sd card.you can find all the files you need in this forum.once you have found that file download it and then put on the sd.go into your hboot and it will read it and then select update.once its updated,do not select reboot go into recovery.if you have a green recovery screen you are golden.i would put an su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed zip on the root of the sd card as well.go back into hboot.DO NOT SELECT UPDATE OR REBOOT WHEN PROMPTED!!select no to both of those then select recovery.it will go back into the green recovery and select install zip from sd,then select choose zip from sd.then scroll down to the su signed zip and let it do its thing.once you have done that,reboot the device and you will have a stock rom.redownload rom manager and update clockwork mod to v.4.4.whatever and you are golden.if you have the evo 3d,i know revolutionary dont work with the hboot v.1.5....ive tried with a friend of mines 3d.i hope i have helped,Lord knows i have done it enough with my own evo.if i helped you please hit that little thanks button for me
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonperis:
ryan thanks for relax and think advice

I fixed problem ( which was basically I could only bring up amon ra and the only recovery image it saw was a a bad one that wouldn't recover anything). Among Ra would let me hook up to my laptop as a usb drive where I could see my SD card , I was able to take a clockwork mod recovery image of a ROM disliked but it worked, rename it exactly what was in the anon ra folder ,move it and the files into the anon ra folder, and viola!!! Amon Ra recovered into that ROM and I now switched to swag rom which is great. Now I do wish there was a viper ROM for the 4g, and a way to unlock and s-off my EVO3D that came locked and has hboot 1.50000.

Anyway all is ok, and the advice about relaxing and thinking from Ryan might have seen simple but was what I needed, thanks Ryan.

By the way, swag-on is a great ROM, stable, WiFi tether, hdmi mirroring, great dock ,and funny boot animation.

[Android Themes] rockb.blues:
I was wondering if there was a widget of an app that allowed a to do list to look like a picture frame or like the scotch tape picture and pure music players I've seen.

If there is no widget maybe a mod to an existing one that would allow for such?

This is gtask

I would like to make that list on a frame kind of like this

Or even better yet on the one's that look like a paper stuck with scotch tape.

Thanks for any help !
[Android Themes] holgalee:
I can't help you with that, but will like to see that too. :)

And more interesting and realistic photo frame widgets for photos will be nice too. Hope someone skilled in these areas will sail along.
[Android Themes] Dunc001:
Moogly (I know, **** name but brilliant app) has the option to use images for background, although at present I think it crops your image to fit so a scotch tape mod may not be that great as it would crop off anything outside the background area. But check out the thread and ask the dev what he can do to allow oversized background images - he's real active in the thread and very helpful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fertyop:
I hate it when I'm searching for a place nearby and it won't let me plain search for what it is. Everytime I type something in it auto-corrects to an actually location and that location is NEVER nearby. I can't find a way to bypass that auto-correct and just plain search. For example: today I wanted to eat lunch at subway while I was out doing some shopping and I tried to search "subway" but it would always search for "subway near SOME PLACE FAR AWAY". Its so annoying, anyone know how to disable it in just maps. I like auto-correct for my texts because it helps when I'm typing fast and not always accurate. Or maybe even just a way to get around it.

Thanks

[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
I dont think it does, not within the next couple months anyway and with the little Dev/Roms i do feel that way.

im waiting on the Prime, then i will just give the infuse away, prob to my mother who still has the Captivate.

again this is just MY opinion.....i have been reading up on devices coming out. and i think they held the SGS2 off to long with HTC's new phone ( Runnymeade ) and then Nexus Prime and a few others i dont see this phone competing

ALL MY OPINION though
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Infiniti350GT:
Agreed- Unfortunately. Although I enjoyed the S2 while I had it I did have a few complaints (all personal opinion) BUT with the recent talks about the Galaxy S3 and Nexus Prime I'm defiantly waiting being that I'll be gone from November to sometime at least after January with no phone or anything else I own with me I'd rather wait.

I will say -Phone technology is exploding and soon the market will be flooded with amazing devices that far surpass their predecessors. Pretty exciting stuff looking at what we have now & what is due out soon. For $700+ I didn't think the S2 was all that worth it, but for those that do want one & that could pick it up for the upgrade cost...MUCH better deal for around $200 that's worth every penny regardless of what I felt was wrong.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] strychninetwitch:
