[Captivate General] chazkenji:
Hi guys, I'm going to edit a custom ROM based on UCKJ3 for my own. Almost done, but there's still some little things confusing me, don't know how to change... :confused:

1. While flashing a ROM via CWM, as known, there're text lines running to show how's the progress going, for example:

I'm wanting to change those text, where to edit and which file?

2. From the very first start, the default wallpaper is live wallpaper, how can I change it to normal wallpaper (located in framework-res)?

Thanks in advance. Any help is appreciated... :D
[Captivate General] chazkenji:
bump, any help? :(
[Captivate General] zelendel:
To edit the text you have to edit the update script which if done wrong can prevent the Rom from flashing. As for setting the wallpaper I am not sure how to change it
[HTC ChaCha] BloomerzUK:
Hi Guys,

My Girlfriends ChaCha is getting progressively worse. She is getting some odd issues:

Blue Icon staying on screen after keyboard select is up

Screen not registering touchers

Losing spaces rather quickly (even though I make sure all apps are to SD when possible)

General Slowness.

Question is, what is the best way of sorting this out? Is a factory reset a good way to go? Is there any new firmware for it (bought in June this year). I will checking whether it's S-OFF tomorrow etc.

Thanks for any input.

Jake
[HTC ChaCha] hashtowent:
try hardreset =) (factory) best to be done using bootloader (disable fastboot then boot with vol. down presed while pressing powerbutton)

what apps were installed?

just get the ones you really need!

maybe a virus? (yes there are ones for android!)

report if issue is solved when no additional apps are installed (directly after hardreset)
[HTC ChaCha] BloomerzUK:
Thanks a bunch! Will help a lot.

She will be installing mainly Handcent SMS and 1 or 2 games (which will go straight to SD Card).

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove stock apps without rooting? Some of the apps on the phone are useless to her, like stocks etc etc.

Thanks :).
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
These are called "bloatware" mainly because no one actually needs them. Unfortunately you need to be rooted to remove them, via Titanium Backup. To be rooted you need to have CWM installed. To install CWM you need to have S-OFF which is only possible via XTC Clip (currently).

What I suggest is find a local gsm service that has an XTC clip (most of them have it, since it's compatible with all HTC devices) and pay 9-10 euros for a S-OFF and a superCID; they know what to do.

After the S-OFF you can update the OS to the latest 1.52 version which has Android 2.3.5. The roms are in the dev section. You can find more info in the guide in my signature.
[HTC ChaCha] BloomerzUK:
Thanks for your detailed information!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrik.svensson:
So we know that the AT&T Models come with NFC which is supposedly built into the battery.

Has anyone tried using this battery in the european model of the phone which boasts no NFC ? I am very interested in knowing if in the future I could just buy a new battery to get NFC on my Galaxy S2 instead of having to consider purchasing an new phone which is NFC enabled...

Thanks for any responses, any information on the topic is appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSaw:
The NFC chip is built into the battery. But I am not sure how will it communicate with our device if you put a NFC enabled battery into any SGS2... does it need extra pins, or some wireless black magic?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wql:
I have a battery with a NFC chip from the Korean version and I have a European Galaxy S2. NFC does not work.

Apparently not enough drivers. And maybe hardware support.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benlc:
Nop, no way for us to get NFC through the battery. The chip is in the phone, the battery acts more like some kind of extended antenna to cover all the back of the phone. Even if the chip was in the battery, we unfortunately wouldn't have the connectors to make it work ( there's some pictures about that somewhere on internet comparing the internals of korean SGS2 and international one).

I guess the only hope for us to one day see REAL NFC ( read and write NFC tags, not some simple stickers ) would be some homemade hardware (+ rom going with it...). I know that we heard a lot about Micro SD with NFC on board but I don't think it's going really fast, and that it will bring full NFC functionalities ( probably only paiement... )

Very nice. [Q] Why alienware? Are we hoping Dell will put liquid cooling inside our Streak 5? :confused: :D
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] ramtix:
hi nick,I always like the aesthetic of alienware its pretty cool.Im not fan of gaming, but their models are freaking awesome. Although, I settled for a Dell XPS17 on my new laptop with almost the same specs as the alienware I was looking at, but half the price. Why get an expensive alienware when you can customize/theme me xps :D.

Same for my streak..I dont think alienware will jump in the bandwagon and make their own phone.so might as well get it themed.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] ramtix:
yeah mate..its kinda tiny those text are..when I get the chance again I'll resize all the pictures and zip them again.

unlike the one shown on youtube :/
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It likely doesn't have sound. Most Streak ROMs don't support sound for the boot animation, though I know Longhorn 2.93 does.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] krtk6160:
Can you please tell me which particular tool you used to distort the text. [Image- F0115 and F0123]

I'm also creating a custom Alienware boot animation, and I'd like to use the same effect of distortion that you used.

Thanks.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] 17mm:
whats the resolution for this thing? my screen is 1440p
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Well, you're in the Dell Streak forums, a device which last saw an update 7 years ago. The 5" screen, introduced long before Samsung made them fashionable, only had a resolution of 800x480. The animation most likely matches, though the possibility exists that the actual images are smaller. [1] On your screen it will look tiny unless you modify the desc.txt file inside the zip to account for your screen. If you do that however the image will be fuzzy. On top of that, unless Samsung changed things, if you have a Samsung device you can't use boot animation zips at all. You'd have to use Samsung's tool and convert the boot animation to Samsung's proprietary format.

You probably will have better luck looking for a high res copy of the source and making your own boot animation.

[1]My boot animation for this device used this trick to keep the size of the final zip manageable.
[Atrix 4G General] esag21:
Guys help me ,

I have Motorola Atrix 4g running with froyo 2.2.2 ... Yesterday I receive notice via OTA that gingerbread ready to download ... After download finish I'm install the package but the package failed .. Stuck at android logo with triangle .. Why can someone help me ... I'm running rooted froyo 2.2.2 Asia version ...
[Atrix 4G General] :
Once you root you dont get updates ota anymore, you get them here at XDA.
[Atrix 4G General] esag21:
So i need to unroot isn't? Tq bro for info ...
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
You can do an OTA update any time you want, you just have to have a stock version running on your phone. When you do an OTA update it checks and verifies your phone to see if everything is there that needs to be there. If you're running a non stock ROM, it'll fail. If you're running a Fruitcake, it'll fail. If you want to OTA, which...there are other ways to upgrade, but...if you WANT to OTA, flash the Froyo .sbf to get back to stock. Since you're on Froyo. Or you can flash the Gingerbread .sbf to upgrade that way, or...do it online at the website.
[Atrix 4G General] esag21:
thanks for the info .. but im running stock ROM froyo 2.2.2 just rooted only ...
[Atrix 4G General] FtaWolf:
Then unroot .. Then update should work,, If u used Gringerbreak.apk there was option to unroot in setting of app..
[Atrix 4G General] esag21:
yup im using Gringerbreak.apk tu root .. can u teach me how to unroot .. i can find the option that yours said ..
[Atrix 4G General] thedawg03:
i was rooted and i still got the OTA update for gingerbread... i had no problem installing... just needed to re-root
[Atrix 4G General] esag21:
same like me ..i got the OTA .. but failed to install it .. stuck at andriod robot with triangle ... .. i need tu pull out batt in oder to turn back the phone ... any solution ??
[Atrix 4G General] :
No guarentee you will be able to root again after each ota, its just a general RULE of all custom firmware, once you root/jailbreak/whatever your device, you no longer get updates from official sources, you get them from custom sources same as you got root. Of course you CAN do whatever you want but that doesnt mean you arent gonna f*** something up. For example: the first three updates for the Atrix you would have been f***ed accepting the ota beofre running "retain root" software. Just fyi, you may have only lost root accepting the ota (this time), but you still did it wrong. Read and learn. Follow the rule for all devices, or you WILL without a doubt eventually cause yourself more trouble than if you just did it the right way the first time! And the right way, again, is: Once you root you dont accept ota updates, you get your updates here at XDA.:D
[Atrix 4G General] mscott998:
same here.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
I went through 2 Invisi-Shields on my Thunderbolt + hated how they made the screen feel. what's something good for the Bionic?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] roebling:
invisi-shield

I've not found anything better for protecting the screen than the Zagg product. Bubbles can be a problem when installing it but liberally misting the screen and both sides of the film when installing, plus repeatedly squeegying the bubbles from center to edge, gets rid of them.

Zagg film has a funky, sticky texture but you get used to it (if you don't want to replace another cracked screen). The Zagg film seems to protect best and it interferes least with touch-screen operation. In fact, on previous phones the Zagg film improved touch-screen functionality.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
I take it Zagg sent you trying to grt me to buy another Invisi-Shield. ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
lol I was actually a big Zagg fan myself. Now my favorite screen protector is......

wait for it....

Gorilla Glass!

Yeah I know you can still scratch it, but I've come to the realization that I prefer not to mess with screen protectors. But if you do want one, I vote for Zagg as well. They are pretty hard to damage and the lifetime replacement is nice to have. As far as the feel...I have really oily skin, and I've noticed that it's a pretty good lubricant for the screen protector...ewww gross I know...but I wonder if there's something you can use to lube up the surface so it feels more like glass?

Anyway, I since grown tired of all the gunk and residue left behind from the Zagg shields. On my DINC there's gooey crap all over in the seem between the glass and the body of the phone. Seems like after about a month or 2 the edge of the Zagg shield starts to look like crap. So I've decided to go naked and just handle the phone more carefully. So far it's worked out for me.

Also FWIW, my friend just bought a replacement glass kit for his DINC for $11. Yeah I know it's an older phone, but if it ever came down to it, I think I'd rather buy a replacement screen for the Bionic than deal with the headache of protectors again.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Jstylen:
I opt for the screen's own durability myself. I have only had it for a few days but I carried my Driod 1 around in the same pocket I keep my keys in and the thing never got a single scratch. Honestly I think a screen protector is a lot more trouble than it is worth.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sir_Eagle:
I just get the ones VZW sells. They last forever, 3 in a pack and only use one for the life of the phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Spectredroid:
I like Zagg alot myself. I really don't worry that much about scratching. The finger print buildup drives me nuts. Zagg keeps that way down. I have one on my bionic and my xoom.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Baked-Potato:
Zagg is definitely the best out there imo. I'd rock it naked but i'm too much of a pansy haha
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Caputto123:
I like zag aswell you get used to the feel after ahwhile. The touch seems just as responsive.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
+1

10 characters.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] astrogiblet:
+1 also. Have the Zagg full body protection on my Transformer and hate the feel of the screen protector. First thing anyone mentions when I let them use my tablet is the feel of the Zagg shield.

I got the 3 pack from Verizon when I bought mt Bionic. They probably aren't as good of protection but they feel like your touching directly on the screen. Also, don't get the anti glare ones from Verizon as they have a horrible feel to them. Worse than the Zagg.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Lol. I was endorsing the anti-glare. They help with fingerprints IMO. I've never tried the others, how do they fare with prints?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sir_Eagle:
This is what I have as well.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] astrogiblet:
The regular ones are pretty bad with prints, I'd say. My coworker has the anti-glare one and the feel/texture is unbearable!

The "normal"/Non-anti-glare ones are very smooth and, like I said above, pretty much feel like you are touching the touch screen directly.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
I only use a screen protector to avoid smudges.

And yeah, they do feel weird, but after using them for a year or so - everything else feels weird! Zagg is definitely weird. My buddy has them on his Incredible and Tab. Not sure how I feel about them yet. They always look like crap.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
I wrote to PPC Techs to see if they would be releasing a WriteShield for the Bionic. I used their stuff for the last 12 years on almost every phone I've had, and on my wife's iPad. They are tough as nails, piece of cake to apply and a good value. No response from them yet, but if enough people send emails, I'm sure they'd cut some to size and sell them.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terror_1:
Right now I have a Steinhall on mine and the fingerprints and smudges are minimal. They also make it in an anti-glare with a textured feel. Easy to install and once set you probably wont even notice it again.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] YoungSkeezy:
Why do we need screen protectors?

It has gorilla glass, does exactly what screen protectors do, and still maintains the sensitivity...

Really believe glass covers on gorilla glass phones is a gimmick.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bgs_piece:
I prefer the Steinheil screen protectors. They cover the entire screen, and can be tricky to line up properly since the edge of the screen is beveled down slightly, but once installed correctly you can't even tell there is one on the phone. The Zagg products are good, but I prefer the smoothness of the Steinheil; it feels exactly the same as the screen itself.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
Are the Steinheils of the type that you can remove, wash and replace? I can't seem to find a link for the Bionic version.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
Steinhiel SGP yum.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bgs_piece:
Here is the link for the Steinheil screen protectors; I use the the Ultra Crystal but I'm sure the others are good too. You can't take them off to clean them, but they come with stickers that will remove dust from the sticky side if needed.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] tghockey07:
I was just like you with my Droid. It was amazingly scratch proof, but more prone to shatter. I broke two digitizers on it. My new Bionic, however, seems to get scratched easier than the Droid, so regretfully I went with a screen protector and hate it. After the first year I will probably just take off the protector, but until then I'm going to use one
[Motorola Droid Bionic] imp85:
I had gotten the VZ standard protector (that comes bundled in 3). Within a day the middle of it got a tiny poke, and bubbled up. I've since removed it and have been loving the stock gorilla glass.

I do tend to keep it in my pocket on its own, never with my wallet or keys, just as a precaution.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Just got a Zagg put on today and absolutely love it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] o0TheFLaSH0o:
I went naked after awhile with my X and never had a scratch. I had planned to do the same with my Bionic until my son showed me his X's screen. I know he does not make a habit of carrying sand in his pocket and his screen had plenty of scratches.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bionicmonkey:
On my Eris I used a vzw screen protector but on the bionic I've been just rockin the gorilla glass no screen protector and so long a it's the only thing in your pocket should be no scratches.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] vegabyson:
I use zagg and its super awesome
