[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crawlgsx:
Am I the only one who would rather pay the $100 than spend 30+ minutes on the phone with an ATT CSR?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kaze105:
Hmm my local ATT store asked me what area code showed 149.99, but ones I knew that should have showed 149 seemed 250 and he said he cant bring down the price.

What area code shows 149 still from ATT website.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] digitalnrg:
If you bought it from Bestbuy, just print out a screen shot of the AT&T website showing $149 and they will refund you the $100. I attempted only 1 time and had no problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Danielk425:

Not cool..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DANIEL133337:
Whenever I get home I am going to do this.... Those extra $135 will definitely help!! ($100 for phone + $35 restocking)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jmcgarrell:
Tried this with 2 different reps.... no dice.

Before my upgrade, my account expires next month. Told them ill return the phone, and move to verizon as "it seems your company has a $100 mark up" on this device.

Was pretty much told good luck with verizon. LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] distortedvoice:
I just went to Bestbuy and showed them the price on my phone. So he looked on their computers and it said $250 and that it was because my zip was in Oklahoma City on my phone(I used the zipcode a few posts back). I just said my parents moved out there, and after this semester of school I would be moving too. I just said I didn't want to return it and have to have my parents buy it and ship it to me.

He asked a manager and they approved it. Probably didn't want to lose store numbers on contract renewals and bit the hundred bucks.

I would advise saying you didn't want to have to return it and buy it there if your zip is different, they want to keep their numbers up.

This mod is meant for people like me, who generally like the stability of the stock rom, but want a better battery meter and the CRT off animation. It may break custom roms and will not work on de-odexed roms.

I just made my first mod. I used UOT kitchen, which is a really cool website to cookup minor mods for most roms. You folks probably knew about it forever, I just discovered it. All hail the creators of this website!

http://uot.dakra.lt/

Anyway, this mod was based off of the framework and system file extracted from my phone which is running:

Stock EI22, odexed with mkasick's kernel and CRT Off Mod Custom and non EI22 roms may not like this mod.

It also includes the CRT-OFF mod that was posted by Tortel1210 (I had that installed when I did the mod.)

I don't know if the kernel version will matter or if it works on any other roms, all I know is it works on my phone.

Flash it using CWM 3.x, I strongly suggest making a backup in CWM (nandroid) before flashing this, just because it works on my phone doesn't mean that it won't cause your phone to burst into flames
[Epic 4G Themes] kstephens98:

Use battery solo widget from the market if this doesn't work for you until we get some themes
[Epic 4G Themes] poit:
If it doesn't work you can go to the website listed in the OP and make your own mods. Its so easy even I could do it!
[Epic 4G Themes] poit:
You're welcome.

Here's how I made this mod. Your steps will be different depending on the mod you do.

Go To: http://uot.dakra.lt, click on Kitchen. Click on Battery (or whatever mod you are doing), select Use this mod. This brings up a list of possible styles and options. Pick what you want. Click "Generate Preview" if you want to see what it will look like. Continue along with Popup, Lockscreen, or any other options you want to modify. You only have to go into the options you actually want to use.

Click on File Upload. Under update-binary, Select "Type Galaxy"

Where it says "Select your rom from kitchen's list, or upload your own files" Select System files.

Below you will see boxes to upload your framework , twframework-res and SystemUI files.

Go to Summay screen. Click "Submit Work to kitchen"

Let's see, how does it go now....

????

Profit.

Anyway, that's the best I can remember. There is a howto section on the UOT page, and the xda thread for it is at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=990829

I take no credit for this great tool. I'm barely smart enough to use it, let alone write something like that. The sigs at the bottom of the website are:

My favorite mod, does this work with non stock roms? Eg ACS ICS or ERA?
[Epic 4G Themes] bit1:
did you take the file down? i was interested in flashing this. I never use TW Launcher anyway. Can you PM me the file? Thanks
[Epic 4G Themes] fredknex:
thats unfortunate, just a bug in the kitchen or something? I saw this thread and made a similar battery mod with the kitchen. Chose the one with the smoother looking blue circle.

Anyway, touchwiz is still working for me, no problems.

[Epic 4G Themes] r2m:
Just tried it, sits at the Samsung screen.

EI22, rooted, CWM 4 if it makes a difference (I know the OP says 3.x)
[Epic 4G Themes] lorenza:
Works fine for me
[Epic 4G Themes] poit:
All that I have tested this on is CWM3 purple and stock rooted EI22.

The kitchen's website says:

"Flash your downloaded zip in recovery.

Zips are compatible with Clockworkmod 3"

Maybe clearing caches and dalvik will help?

I don't know how using CWM 4 will affect the results, perhaps that's be why it didn't work for you. Hopefully you have a nandroid backup.
[Epic 4G Themes] r2m:
I tried, no dice. Thanks either way :)
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
You made my day!
[Epic 4G Themes] zanderman112:
I'm gonna use this framework as a base for an odexed theme. So I can have the CRT off mod.
[Epic 4G Themes] poit:
OK by me. I accidentally stole the framework (and credited) Tortel1210 because I had already installed his CRT off mod when I cooked this up!
[Epic 4G Themes] zanderman112:
Gotcha. Will credit both of you. Lol

[Epic 4G Themes] bit1:
Thank you OP. This kitchen is amazing!! I'm still on stock odexed ROM and it's great to have animated slides, battery the colors and way I like. I took the twframework.apk, framework.apk, and systemui.apk from the OP's zip since I couldn't find them in the official zip. Thanks OP. This kitchen is pretty awesome!

For those having issues installing I'm using the ACS Recovery. Do a nandroid of course :)

Go to install zip, then choose pre theme wipe ( you wont' lose any settings) and then install your zip. I feel I'll definitely donate to this kitchen and go back to make another theme. My theme is odd but if you guys want to try it. give it a shot. These are my settings. you'll have to rename the file to .uot [/ATTACH]
[Epic 4G Themes] Epic4GkID:
This works great but it made my 4g connectivity stop working correctly do I switched back to another theme.
[Epic 4G Themes] saintirish:
I am on ACS ICS v4. I added this mod and nothing happened. I still have the same battery meter that came with ACS and not this one. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Themes] poit:
today I was in an area with 4G service, and it worked fine. It's possible your 4G problem was unrelated to this mod.

This has only been tested and only expected to work on stock odexed roms (as is mentioned in the OP). Since ACS ICS is not stock, and is deodexed I'm surprised the phone even booted. Plus, any changes that ACS made to the framework or systemUI would be replaced by the stock odexed versions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssmr2t:
Hello Android world!

I would like to set tasker to have complete automation over my screen if possible.. do you think this could be done?

I would like to be able to turn my screen on with just the wave of my hand over the proximity sensor, and also turn it off too..

If those things are not possible, how about actual turning of page to page on the launcher? It just seems that all the documentation for tasker is so detailed, it's hard to understand.

Thank you!
[Venue Pro General] r000li:
I want to buy the Dell Venue Pro, and I was hoping to buy it on expansys. But sadly they removed it from sale os I can't get it there. So I am searching for a european store (UK would be nice) that sells this phone and ships to Slovenia. Does anyone have any idea where I could get it? Nobody seems to have it anymore and there are no other phones (except HTC 7 PRO) that have QWERTY keyboards. So if anyone has any idea where I could get it, please tell me.
[Venue Pro General] dilzo:
The dell website.
[Venue Pro General] r000li:
Which proabably doesn't ship to Slovenia. I couldn't find any information about that. Now if I go to Slovenian Dell site, the mobile phones and tablets doesn't even exist.
[Epic 4G General] spykedvodka:
I really couldn't find a clear answer on any of these, so I thought I would ask. Sorry if it's been cleared up.

1. Can I get VVM on my Epic flashed on Cricket to work?

2. Has a practical MMS solution been discovered?

Sorry, like I said, I searched but couldn't find a clear answer. Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] terinfire:
1. VVM - not sure - if it's something the Kyocera has on it as a stock application, probably could just take that app. You can always use Google Voice as well for VVM. Not sure if they actually support VVM, though.

2. This has been done, supposedly, but I believe the solution is ROM specific for some reason. Someone hacked one together and offered to do it for other ROMs -- I would search the forums for his post about it. (MMS, Epic, Cricket tags should find it) Basically, you'll need the custom APK to use, in addition to correctly setting up the APN's on the back end of the phone.

The guy who did the MMS post should have steps on how to do everything for #2. For #1, I've discovered that for Google Voice to work, you *need* to have the GV phone number in a similar area code as your Cricket number. i.e. Houston has 281, 713, and 832. I tried using a Dallas forwarding number and it wouldn't work. Using an 832- extension, did work, though (and my phone number starts with a 281 area code).

Hope that helps!
[Epic 4G General] spykedvodka:
Yes, I'm currently using GV, but it doesn't always forward and some messages get left on my regular vm.

Yeah I did find a post where a dude said that he had it all figured out but then he took it down saying that he was going to post it on Ebay for $1 each. So that's why I figured I'd ask.

Personally, I'm thinking of getting this flashed onto Boost. It might run better and about the same price. Too many headaches with Cricket and this phone (plus ****ty service).
[Epic 4G General] spykedvodka:
How do you like the new GB update? To me, it sucks. Seems like there is nothing new on my phone except for the design/menus and stuff like that. I was bummed. **** they still have Asphalt 5 listed on there... like wtf. I was hoping that the GB update would help me with my cricket reception, but it doesn't so that's why I'm thinking about Boost also.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Theklown:
After rooting my phone I decided to cleanup some of the bloatware that was installed. After removing several items I found that my Contacts and Phone app now FC every time I try to interact with them. I have restored all the apps but for some reason my Titanium Backup is missing/lost two apps I need to get it working again. I have searched but cannot find a full system dump to pull them out of.

If anyone has these apps backed up and can post I would be greatly appreciative. Please make sure you clean the contacts up b4 you send as they MIGHT have personal info in them and we don't want/need that can of worms.

Thanks for the dump, but that doesn't help me. I don't think its possible to read those files. Could you root (there's a guide for that at androidcentral forums) then install root explorer (or alternative file explorer that supports root). Then go outside of your sd card into the root space (keep pressing back till you see a couple other folders). Then press mount r/w at the top right. Then press and hold on the system folder and press create zip.

[Android] TheLoonyRebel:
To me the Stratosphere is the Thunderbolt + better battery life + QWERTY keyboard. Its a nice phone overall and works well for my needs such as music playing, e-mail, Hulu Plus via the hacked Titanium Backup, and such. Now take it for granted the Stratosphere is not going to win awards for being the greatest phone ever but for its purposes it works.

Also yes I'm in full agreement that the Stratosphere needs its own area on XDA so we can discuss not only ROMs but also accessories and general stuff about the phone. Especially after places like Best Buy have given the phone away for free (or cheap) so I'd imagine there are quite a few potential folks looking to root and ROM this beast.

Finally yes once the ROMs (and other stuff like kernels) start coming out I'll run the ROM & Kernels Listing like I did for the Thunderbolt until a few months ago.

I read somewhere, maybe here on the forums, that they did away with rfs on the strat, that is why our quadrant is not in the 900's like the Droid Charge. IDK for certain though.

Nope this phone is in fact on RFS. Open a terminal emulator (install from the market) type in mount. And you can see on several lines showing that it is RFS (example below). So this phone will get (if you care) even better quadrant scores with a EXT4 file conversion.
