You can just open a rom zip and delete the apps the from /system/app/ directory.

Alternatively, you can download titanium backup from the market. This app allows you to backup or uninstall apps.

how i need resize a launcher or other things
[Wildfire General] Solar_:
Please use the 'search' tool..

Plus VigiDroid recently typed a guide for resizing .xml's.

A real dev should know what to do instead of opening these useless threads.
[Wildfire General] XDeveloperX:
You shouldn't be too harsh to him. He was either unsure or confused on what to do. ;)
[Wildfire General] Solar_:
Look at the other threads he have opened. The answers to all his questions are just somewhere at XDA (I think he can imagine that) so the next step is using the 'search' tool.

I think everyone can do this.

I was traying resize rosie.apk but nothing i was in the values-mdpi file
[Wildfire General] VigiDroid:
Wait did you even read my guide...? Nothing about values-mdpi... If you read the guide correctly you would learn that to resize you have to edit the values in xml files in /res/layout or /res/layout-mdpi or /res/layout-port or /res/layout-land

And it doesn't just happen all correctly with one change of a file and majority of the time when you change something you notice nothing has changed, this happens to me all the time, it just takes patience to get it right!
[Wildfire General] stevie67:
@VigiDroid

Sorry my friend but i must correct you the .xml files that you must edit are not in the res/layout or res/layout-mdpi folder they are indeed in the res/values and res/values-mdpi folders unless i'm mistaken but as i resized your lockscreen for SenseOnFire rom those were the .xml files i edited:D
[Wildfire General] VigiDroid:
Are you questioning my experience? haha :p

Now you see it seems I have overlooked lockscreen (which is why I could not get it to resize) nearly every other app you have to modify the .xml files in the layout folder but as a general rule you should just go and look into every .xml file and try and note if anything might be related to a layout..

Read the 1st page of the custom ROM threads and you will know if it is lagfixed or not. Many Devs also try not to do a lagfix but implement other tweaks which makes lagfix irrelevant.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonitfcfan:
Hi,

I'm currently looking for a good Twitter and/or Foursquare client for the Android platform, but I'm not too sure which of the ones currently available in the Market either have an option in the settings to connect via secure connection (i.e. SSL) or which connect this way by default. I know Plume [Twitter client] has this option in the settings, which I like, but I'm exploring other options to see what's out there. I like the look of TweetDark (themed version of TweetDeck) because it allows for both Twitter and Foursquare to be used (among others) but I'm not sure if this connects via SSL or not, or if the app alone can be configured to connect this way like Plume can. Any ideas?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :).

P.S. I'm not sure if this is the right section to be asking this. If not feel free to move it if you're reading this and you're a mod/admin :).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PghPittViper:
Hi,

I have done a lot of reading and searching, and I think I understand most of the basic pieces of what I am trying to do and how to do it. Let me explain.

Ultimately, I want to be able to install custom roms to my captivate.

Firmware: 2.2

Kernel: 2.6.32.9

Build: FROYO.UCKB1

I installed rom manager, but I see that with my hardware, I cannot install cwm recovery. It seems I need to downgrade my kernel using odin. Problem is, although I found the thread listing all of the kernels for download in zip format, I have no clue which one to use.

I found the instructions on how to reboot into cwm recovery, but without the new kernel, I cannot do it, at least that's what I gather.

Can you guys help me here? I know I am on the right track, but don't know what to do to go any farther. Also, I cannot get into recovery mode buy clicking the buttons. It seems I must now use adb. All I want to do at this point is reboot into cwm mode. Can that be so difficult.

Well, this is my first post. Thanks to all who reply.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
3e recovery. Look in the stickies to fix that. OR flash another kernel (like Cog 4.x.x kernel) and flash a rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
+1 to the above. Personally when flashing a custom ROM I just always start with JF6, the flash the green CWM update.zip file followed by the ROM, or if it's got an initial-kernel like many ROM's call for now days.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PghPittViper:
Quick stupid question...

Does the sim card need to be out to do this, or any of the other things I have been trying?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
It does not matter. The whole (remove SDCARD and SIM steps) in my opinion have always been false info. The only reason I'd remove anything would be the SDCARD if using a recovery that's untested to ensure it's not formatted or something like that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PghPittViper:
error?

No matter what I try flashing with odin, I get this message:

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

This indicates that the process failed. What gives?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
Re-install your drivers. Then ensure the ODIN is open BEFORE connecting your phone in download mode. You can get the latest drivers in a package I made with ODIN here:

www.mediafire.com/?eyr42m5ilf03566

Edit: Also only use a genuine OEM cable when flashing. There are two many issues with non-oem cables and the usb data transfer they provide.

Need big time help now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Possible Brick!!!

Now i have been playing with flashing roms. Now I have a real problem.

I flashed darky 10.2 i believe and now I am in a boot loop. It cycles between the white att screen and a colored pixelated screen.

I have been reading and researching for hours now. Present time 3:15 am. Research tells me that the cappy is pretty much un-brickable.

I KNOW I have to get into either download mode or recovery mode. I cannot do either.

I have researched this subject exhaustively, but my brain is fried now, and I work at 6:00 and need my phone.

What to do????

I emplore anybody up at this time to help.

TIA

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Nero:
Did you flash gingerbread bootloaders before flashing the ROM?

I am not amused by your phones performance
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PghPittViper:
Did not flash gingerbread...

I apologize, my intent was not to amuse.

How now can I flash gingerbread if the phone wont stay powered on?

I ran home during my work break to check my replies.

Because I didn't flash gingerbread, I presume I was hasty in flashing darky becuause it seemed so great, is it possible to resurrect this phone?

I am feeling pretty discouraged.

Thanks and please continue to help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
As long as the phone shows any type of life its not Hardbricked and can be recovered with key combos or a Jig. Your fine. Get in to download mode and flash a clean stock and start over.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PghPittViper:
Entering recovery mode in my situation.

I am currently trying to hold the 2 button volume control and the power key.

The phone comes on to the att white screen, then goes black, then comes back on, etc...

I am very worried.

When I plug into the usb, it will connect to pc, then disconnect, then keep repeating this. I read that kies has an emergency recovery feature. But,, I can't connect to kies. Odin recognizes a port, but kies just says to connect your phone.

Any advice?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beast534:
You don't need gingerbread BL for Darky 10.2. I've flashed Darky 10.2 before, his directions were pretty clear. I moved onto Fasty since his updates stopped. I suggest reading the stickies for making jigs or buying them as well. You can do it! & Good luck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
^what he said. You can try and taking out ur batter open odin, connect your phone hold Vol up and down insert battery. If that doesn't work you need a jig. Not hard to make, takes a little time though (if you peel a cheap cable for the plug that is)

Hi guys,

there is a good way to remove scratches from our phone display?

I've a big scratch visible also with the display powered on....and this is annoing for me....

Any suggestion?
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
Depends on the scratch. I've had a pretty big one before, but managed to get rid of it by rubbing it with a wet soft tissue paper. As long as its not a dent (like a deep one that does change the surface of the screen), you can remove it if you wipe it gently but strong enough :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Wing_Zero85:
You've removed scratches with a "tissue paper" it's right?

I didn't believe it was possible :eek:

My one is enought deep to see is with display lighted up...generating some refractions...
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
You could try and polish it out, but you might make the surrounding area bad too. Best of leaving it I reckon.
[LG Optimus 2x] Wing_Zero85:
with a tissue paper? really?

this:

is able to remove scratches from gorilla glass?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I wouldn't expect it to work, no.
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
Yes, that, seriously. I told you, as long as it doesn't leave a dent, it is possible. I dropped my phone to marble surface, and it left a pretty long scratch. It looked like the glass was actually damaged, but turns out it wasn't. So I had to rub it hard enough for it to dissappear.

The glass itself is scratch resistant, so unless the glass cracks or gets damaged, you can pretty much wipe off anything above it without leaving trace.

Now if the scratch we're talking about now is an actual damage to the glass, just clean it and leave it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Wing_Zero85:
in my case, there is no way to remove a real scratch in the display with tissue paper...
[LG Optimus 2x] Wing_Zero85:

Using this link to ROOT LG Thrill 4G

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-lg-thrill-4g-with-super-one-click-app-guide/

What's the best ROM that may allow me to still have 3D & will remove potential Bloatware from the phone?

This is my first ROOT, any help or suggestions?

I just need some good ROM suggestions, maybe something that will change the Dock Bar(Bottom of Screen). Or give me a feel like Motoblur.

Just suggest some.

I'm also trying to figure out how to change the UI.

It's mostly me being more concerned with changing the look of the phone and feel.

I just want a new look and feel. New dialer, Contacts, Messaging.

If possible that is.

Again, I'm also new at this. If you could tell me if or where to place things and how things install that'd be very useful.

I'm due an upgrade around March time so hopefuly by then the 900 will be out. If it isn't I'm very impressed with the 800.

FFC I really do not care about and 16gb storage is fine for me. I've never come close to filling my 8gb Omnia - I'm a tidy freak, if i don't use something it's deleted.

Do you know which one - 5.0.2.0 or 5.0.2.6?

[HTC Amaze 4G] gaww:
5.0.2.6 would not read and flash from internal SD either - only 5.0.2.0 did - so I stayed with it.

I have 5.0.2.6 showing up on ROM Manager because I had flashed it earlier. When I first installed ROM Manager, it wanted to install a 4.xxxxx version.

That is why I was wondering if people who had never first flashed 5.0.2.6 were seeing a different one when they first setup ROM Manager.
