if your talking onscreen keyboard then yes. theres an app that lets you customize but i dont know of a way to customize the slider keyboard
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sohr:
Just got my hands on the Epic Touch 4g about two hours ago, and in playing with it I notice the apparent brightness/contrast of the screen changes slightly based on the content currently being displayed.

This is most apparent when scrolling through the home screens-- on the default screen the bottom icons are nice and bright-- but when panning over to the empty calendar (which I'm guessing is supposed to be white, i'm guessing, but looks more grey than anything) the icons at the bottom are dimmer and less contrast-y (yes, I know that's not really a word).

I noticed in the Display settings you can adjust the "Screen Mode"-- but it exhibited this behavior no matter when setting I chose (Dynamic, Standard, and Movie).

The effect almost reminds me of lower end flat Plasma TVs with cheap circuitry that can't handle certain currents when an all-white (or mostly white) screen is being displayed-- it limits the current, so the end result is a light grey screen instead of a bright white display.

Is this considered one of the features of the phone (perhaps to save batter life or screen life)? Anyone else notice similar behavior? Don't want to freak out if this is normal, but at the same time it's a little disconcerting to see something whose major claim to fame is it's "brilliant display" exhibit such behavior.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sideman7:
Go back to the display options, scroll down to "auto adjust screen power" and turn that off and see if that helps...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sohr:
That was exactly it... thanks.

Nice to know this is a software feature and not something glitchy with the hardware.

[Motorola Droid X2] stanleyj42:
Does anyone know of a tutorial on how to build custom roms. Im not really trying to do anything fancy like eclipse or some of the other experts but i would like to take the "naked" version and add a few things in that i like from other roms.

Im just trying to make a buisness like rom that has blur corprate email, calendar, desk clock, camera, camcorder, gallery and really thats about all. I can get the rest of the stuff from the market.

Sorry if this has been asked over and over again.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I think most likely u could just use root explorer and sift through the rom zips for the apks and lib files needed for the features/apps you want and push them to the necessary spots. I'm sure there is also more complicated and in depth things you could do but for the most part this should work. Just might take a lot of experiments to figure out what is needed for anything that is interdependent on other features/apps to work.
[Motorola Droid X2] stanleyj42:
Thanks

I will play around with the root explorer and see what i can tear up. :D
[Motorola Droid X2] stanleyj42:
Best rom making software

Is root explorer the better option or can the premium version of the rom manager be used also. I hate to buy an app if its not the best one.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I think that feature in rom manager will work.

I have never used that app tho as the x2 isn't "officially " supported on that app.

Root explorer is the best (2-4$)(can't remember how.much exactly cost)

I have spent for an app. (Wave launcher is close 2nd)

It makes editing system and other files simple and easy. Also a majority of people use that app which makes it easier when explaining how to change things and etc.. when everyone uses the same app lol.

It even makes mounting system from r/o to r/w and back again as simple as touching a single.button once at top of the screen. Just an all around simple smooth easy to use and explain app ;) /end rave lol
[Motorola Droid X2] stanleyj42:
would you happen to know of any reason why i cant install the blur email and calendar? I have the apk's but i just errors out when i try to run them.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I think u will need to push them into system /app and fix permissions and maybe owners..permission needs to.be like all other system app. Rw-r--r--

Then they should show up after reboot. If they don't work u might need to add in email authentication apk or something ...
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
What this guy said is what you need to do.
[Motorola Droid X2] knuckleheadTech:
This is actually something my boss and I have discussed. Taking some open source apps and changing them so they are specific for our company and also trying out a basic rom. Once the reality of the fact that only a handful of the people have the same type of Android phone put a quick halt on the rom idea. Would be a fun project though.
[LG Revolution] droidfever:
I am new to LG Revolution (trying to install custom ROM on sister's phone). I am coming from 2 different Samsung devices.

I have VZ6, 2.2.2, rooted. Windows 7 64

Here are my questions:

1) Thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1121952

CWM download link gave me a "recovery-cwm-pr1.tar.gz", so I extracted it with 7-zip and get a "recovery-cwm-pr1.tar". How do I get the .img file??

2) What exactly is ADB shell? Where do I find instruction on that?

I assumed installation of Revolt 1.5 is straight forward after I get CWM on the phone. I am just having a hard time to follow those instructions on CWM tho.
[LG Revolution] pendragon11:
Heya,

I'm no professional at all of this, but I'd recommend downloading the revotoolkit. i;ve not used it on vz6, but that is how most of us went about getting cwm. believe there is a thread about it in development (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1144951).

hope that helps you
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
I would get the GB update. Then root with using the post in development by mtmichealson. Then flash Gingervolt.
[LG Revolution] droidfever:
is the Gingervolt mature?? this is my sister's phone, so I am not going to flash it every week when there is a patch or update... I highly doubt my sister (technologically challenged) will appreciate Gingerbread anyways.
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
Gingervolt was just released so there will be more releases soon.

If she wouldn't appreciate it just get stock gingerbread on and leave it at that

Edit: not to take anything away from any the developers here don't take it that way please.
[LG Revolution] droidfever:
Thanks for the tip. Installed without sweat.
[LG Revolution] droidfever:
Nice to see people are still working on new ROM on this phone. All devs on Droid Charge have moved to Bionic and left us in the cold.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
That's gay
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Thankfully we have dedicated people here, who get excited about the little breakthroughs on this phone. The phone is great, the hardware is fast and responsive, the programming (from what I hear) is a disaster. All the Roms I have tested have been stableish on this phone, a couple force closes here and there, but nothing too intrusive. Gingerbread is perfect, and the Gingervolt from Mtmichaelson is stellar, no hangups, no force closes yet. I would expect themes to roll out soon, and some more stable Roms. I would assume the dream of CM7 is on the horizon now.

In agreement with Haro's comment, you will find that we will not simply give up on this phone, we have been through too much.

I'm pretty sure theres a free app on the market that will give you your unlock code if your phone is rooted. Not too sure about the galaxy s 2 but I think chainfire came up with some method for an unlock. Your probably best asking over the the sgs2 forum for an unlock.

Hi Everyone,

I'm coming form Germany and own a Xoom MZ601 with 3G, Tiamat 2.2.2 flashed. Works like a charme! :) ...thanks to all developers for this!

In this forum I found the modded framework-res.apk to enable SMS via 3G...and it works perfect with GoSMSpro.

Now, I would like to enable voice calls via 3G, too.

Because I haven't found any suitable framework-res.apk for this, I tried to recompile it (with several versions of Apk Manager on Windooze and PengiOS :-) ) in order to enable this feautre by editing the regarding parameter in BOOLS.XML...but at the moment there seems to be nooooo way to decompile Tiamats framework-res.apk with any version of Apk Manager. ...apktool breaks the toolchain. ...updating this piece of SW, ended up in some kind of version-conflict-nirwanas.

Could/would anybody lent me a hand?

TIA

StevieXoom
[Xoom Themes and Apps] adamelphick:
Wow man if you could do this it would be amazing. Many people tell me the Xoom has no hardware to make calls - but personally I don't see it. If it has a 3G radio that can send text I can see no reason why it isn't just a software issue stopping calls via 3G too!

Keep up the good work!

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a really good case, preferably something softish for the Sensation.

I had one from Rearth for my Nexus S http://www.rearthusa.com/Nexus-S_c_109.html

and it was awesome.

It was soft but had a nice texture on the outside that didn't stick to your pockets when you pulled it out, the ports were easily accessible and the buttons were still very easy to press.

If anyone knows of anything similar to this it'd be much appreciated.

Thanks :)

I know you're looking at a soft case, but for those in the market for piece of mind and security, the otterbox is phenomenal. I got mine about a week ago, and, albeit makes the phone a touch chunkier, I'm not worried about it falling or anything.

If you inspect the back case of the sensation, there is a hole on top of the camera lens, a hole below the LED flash, the speaker grill and 2 small holes at the bottom (which are antennas I think).

I ended up paying 1200 pesos for it which is roughly $28. It has a free screen protector but I ended up not using it because it doesnt cover the whole screen. So I also have a Zagg Invisible Shield placed on the my screen only.

I have to say it's the perfect combination if you want to protect your phone from scratches without spending much. :)
[HTC Sensation] tase25:
I tried that link but it won't let me purchase from it. I read that the aluminum case interferes with the strength of the wifi signal. Have you experienced that yet?

What colour did you get? And how thick is it compared to other cases like the Otterbox?
[HTC Sensation] the-other-gordo:
Tight fit, looks good, minimal bulk, all holes are perfectly aligned and the hole for the micro usb is not too small. The ONLY thing that I don't like is the white / clear case yellowed over time. The black case did not (obviously).

I've tried similar cases by Nillkin, TPU-Cases and many cheaper cases bought from e-bay and Amazon.

Hope this helps.
[HTC Sensation] tase25:
Cool thanks. This ones a top runner for me. Not too expensive too.

Is it easy to remove? bc i find when I have a screen protector on, the tight cases always peels the screen protectors off.

And lastly, are all the buttons really easy to press still?

You will like the incipio case. It doesn't add much to the thickness. Keeps it thin like a gel skin but is much tougher so it adds a lot more protection. It has all the holes for mics in the back. The only problem is that it is a harder to press the volume and power button.

I was using a cheap gel case from amazon since I got the phone and recently decided I was fed up of the low quality feel and the microphone and antenna holes being covered despite the case keeping the phone well protected I was going to opt for the incipio after its price drop but thought I'd try HTCs offering first, so I purchased the official HTC tpu case and my first thoughts are that its of very high quality it feels amazingly well made as well as all the ports and holes being open. The only gripe I have at the minute is how open the case is as well as the material being more "sticky" than my cheap Matte gel this does give it a more quality feel but can cause lint grab unfortunately, Ill keep using it and update my findings and maybe pick up an incipio as well.
