[Verizon Droid Charge] BuglessFan:
For the boot animations, just pull them out of the zip and rename from sanim.zip to bootanimation.zip and overwrite the one that comes with the ROM (/system/media). There might be easier ways to deal with the order of precedence, but that def works.

I don't know which status bar icons aren't working for you, but I did the Colorpack V8 Animated without issue. Some of the individual icons don't map/overwrite the 'stock' Humble ones, but most do. Notably the Bluetooth, actual WiFi connected (the avail/search one does get replaced) and signal bars don't take over, but the warning, GMail, VM, Debug, USB, missed call, sync and others all bring a splash of color to my phone. Haven't tried the Power ones.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blckngldhwk:
Thank you kindly for the response. Will give that a try.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BuglessFan:
BTW, flip fonts are one of the good things about Samsung. Easy to change with no flashing. There are some on the Market and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894397 has a ton, along with links on how to make your own packages if you're inclined to go through the work for that one font you really want.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blckngldhwk:
As far as icons not working...

3G, Signal bars, wifi, alarm, Bluetooth, GPS, headphones. Anything that would go on the right side of the status bar, except the battery icon which works. All of the notification icons (left side) flashed fine as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blckngldhwk:
Success! Got the boot animation transferred and working so decided to try the same with the framework and systemui files from the uot zip. Copied them to their respective folders and rebooted and voila!
[Verizon Droid Charge] blckngldhwk:
I have to think that there is an issue when mounting system in cwr. That's the only thing I can think of.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Lockett:
I made a post a month or so ago about this same thing. I really wanted to get the signal bars to work (I selected the Radar icon) and couldn't get it to work no matter what. The only thing I didn't do was copy the framework and systemui over.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blckngldhwk:
Update. Still can't get signal bars or mobile data icons to change. But the other icons did change when manually moving the apks from the uot zip.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
I read a thread and either I didnt understand or it didnt work as I understood it. I want to be able to make a system dump of anything that comes out in case I want to import apps or things. Do you always have to use ADB or terminal to extract files from a .tar or .md5 file? So you always have to extract to your sdcard from what I read? Just a little confirmation on if thats how I need to do it or the correct way please.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bfitz26:
Root explorer? Don't know much just a thought
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
you have to explain better what you want to do...you can extract/make roms from odin files without having to flash it...you just use dsxidia's kitchen (requires linux or cygwin with windows) and run the odin through it

to *make* an odin of your current set up for backup, imnuts has a guide in development somewhere, but you would need linux to make the tar (you can extract with adb in windows though)

or to just make a system pull

if adb is universal

cd "whatever folder u want it in"

adb pull /system/

and let it do its thing

to then make a flashable zip from it you would have to have a working update-script and proper file structure within the zip
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Do you always have to use ADB or terminal to extract files from a .tar or .md5 file? So you always have to extract to your sdcard from what I read?

Yes I was basically asking how to extract all the files from a .tar or .md5 file. I want to be able to look at each separate main file and pull whatever I want from there. So one option is to use ADB and pull to sd card. I don't use linux so I guess this is my only option?

dsxidia's kitchen (requires linux or cygwin with windows)
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
the only 2 ways i can think of atm to extract from a tar are this:

push the tar with odin/heimdall to ur phone then pull /system with adb or with terminal emulator to ur sdcard

or use dsxidia's kitchen to extract it on the computer w/o flashing it

(well u can take apart the tar in linux other ways too, but it ll do it in a similar way to the kitchen and thats easier)
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Yeah thats what I was thinking. Thanks.

[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
You will re-lock the phone by flashing the SBF. To unlock reflash the unlock file..you'll still be on the latest SBF.

[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
I have the Kraken on my phone and all my friends have the otterbox(litterally everyone of them). I must say that I like the kraken far better because of why my case has been through and the condition it is currently in.

Im an EMT for an ambulance service in West Virginia. For those that have never been to WV, here is an overview: We have mountains everywhere, it rains A LOT! and the climate is very "muggy".

Now with that in consideration and the fact that I work on an Ambulance, My phone goes through a LOT! And ever since May 2011 I've had this case for my phone. And the case still looks pretty much BRAND NEW! The silicone hasn't worn out and become overlapping on the plastic vs the Otterbox, that my friends have, The silicone wrap is easily pulled out of place and looks "messy" constantly.

The case does make the phone look bigger compared to the otterbox, but If they are Side By Side, you can barely tell, and the Kraken has an extra "flare" that makes the phone actually look better. Overall this is a GREAT case and the holster for the device is amazing. I have yet for the phone to "pop out" unless the clip isnt secured correctly to my belt and the holster will come loose(but the phone stays in place).

I recommend this case to anyone with an x or x2. This case has saved my phone quite a few times and is probably the best 60 dollar(online) investment I've made for a phone.

peace

Trident Kraken does look like a great product, I debated when I got my defender... but Otterbox's customer service is second to none that's why I went with Otterbox.
[Motorola Droid X2] reaktorblue:
I probably would have given the Trident Kraken a serious consideration had I knew of its existence when I got my Otterbox.

I love the Otterbox but my only major complaint is the raised sides. It makes certain screen functions pretty rough, especially with Swype.

Also, the way the silicone wraps around the phone kind of bunches up at times and can irritate my OCD but, that's nothing major.
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
I love my kraken, ill be using it on the x series as long as its continued, ive had 5 diff cases and none compare to the kraken

[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
By bunch up do youmean like the silicone it's coming off? Like not tight enough? Of so, the Kraken has yet to do that.

[Motorola Droid X2] Jeffmeister:
I got an incipio case when I bought my X2 from the verizon store about a month ago in a bundle package.

It's like an otterbox knockoff, and the hard plastic part of the corner already cracked.

Ordered a Kraken II, its on its way and looks really nice!
[Motorola Droid X2] Zues532:
I've got an Otterbox Commuter on my X2. I hadn't heard of Trident until now, but the Kraken looks very similar to the Otterbox Defender series. Looks like a nice case either way.

I'm always blown away when every couple days I gingerly take the case off to flash something or do a battery pull and I realize how small this phone is. These cases are so huge!
[Motorola Droid X2] reaktorblue:
On the Otterbox Defender, from the screen to the actual top of the hard plastic case on all sides, its about 1/4 of an inch. How high is the Kraken II?

Thats probably one of my biggest complaints about the Otterbox. Using Swype becomes a small challenge with some words due to the raised sides around the entire screen with the Otterbox.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
My Kraken II showed up yesterday and there was a defect that wouldnt allow it to snap together on part. Dropped it from waist high last night and the top came unsnapped. That may be due to the defect though. Called Trident and a new one is on its way with a return shipping label.

It seems like it would be a tough unit. I work in manufacturing and know things happen and ship defective items on accident. So no bad thoughts toward Trident. Customer service was excellent.

Buttons work great on it too.
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
My DX2 came with some cheap looking, thin Best Buy-ish case. I do a lot of traveling and found that when the signal was weak, taking the case off made a bit of a difference and improved the signal.

So my question, does this case seem to reduce your signal?
[Motorola Droid X2] reaktorblue:
I'm not sure if your question is in regards to the Kraken II or the Otterbox however, I will say since I am using the Otterbox Defender, it does not impact my signal.

I'd like to get a Kraken II just to see which one I like more (I think I may actually like the Kraken II a bit more) mainly due to the built in kickstand.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
I got the Kraken original for the x, but It does not impact the signal at all.I've had this since early June. Only complaint was I had to cut the plastic off the sensor because the screen wouldn't come back up after a call. But you can't tell the difference...

Random tip:

If the screen protector gets oil under it (when you can see 'bubble'like stuff between screen and screen protector)...buff baby powder on the inside of the screen protector..wipe off and clean...then repeat about 4 times to get it back to 'normal'did this today and worked like a charm.

[Motorola Droid X2] WasabiWa83:
Kraken is the way to go. Trident just seems to have better stuff. I'm using the Aegis right now and love it. Dropped twice and no problems yet. Plus it's not very bulky. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I havent had any signal issues since I started using my Kraken and I live in the middle of nowhere with a poor signal to start.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Been dealing with customer support as my second Kraken II case doesnt snap together right. I saw today the Kraken for the X2 is no longer on their websiite either.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
As I've been saying, A2FAT is buggy at best and takes upwards of 20 minutes to load. We have the attention of the guys who did PyroMod for the G2, so we can expect the real A2SD once CM is streamlined.

I recommend an SD card Class 4 and up for this device.

I just finished making the modification to this device. It's still bricked but I'm working on the UnBrickable Mod for the Sidekick4G. I can upload "Download Mode" to the device when it is powered off. The device will accept a firmware flash. I just need to flash some bootloaders to get it working.

I can't find the boot.bin file anywhere. I need a working set of bootloaders for this device then I can publish the UnBrickable Mod and serious development without consequences can occur.

I need the boot.bin file. Please help me find it.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] AdamOutler:
This device WONT BOOT. It does not have bootloaders on it.

I'm holding a bricked device in my hand. that's why. Also, this makes it possible to develop bootloaders for things like Ubuntu and what not on this device.

If a bad SBL is uploaded the device will not have access to download mode.

btw.. Odin is closed source, Use heimdall.

I don't think any ROM has as boot.img inside it , it would be in the root i'm pretty sure but it's not .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] AdamOutler:
Let me explain a bit more..

Bootloaders:

IBL+PBL=Boot.bin

The Initial bootloader and The primitive bootloader- this makes memory, checks values in the params and launches SBL

PARAMS=Params.lfs

This holds images and values required for booting

SBL=Sbl.bin

The Secondary bootloader is where Download Mode happens. It is technically an entire operating system on it's own.

SBL2=Sbl.bin

This is a backup of the Secondary Bootloader

All of these files are bootloaders. I need the IBL+PBL in order to make this device boot. The device I have in my hand has NO BOOTLOADERS.

I can upload download mode using the UnBrickable Resurrector

[youtube]fw-D_cKeAb8[/youtube]

However, this device is limited to tethered booting because I have no bootloaders for it. I need a boot.bin file.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
and btw adam is possible that u can port other os to the sidekick 4g when it has been made unbrickable?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] AdamOutler:
I don't own one of these devices. I won't be working on this myself, but it is way more possible as the device cannot be bricked.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
from system dump

bml1	256 KB	contains boot.bin (262144 bytes), Primary Boot Loader (low-level hardware initialization)

i will upload the bml1 file but i dont know if you can do anything with it but it does have the boot.bin in it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] AdamOutler:
That's only part of a boot.bin. that's the PBL. A boot.bin has a the IBL+PBL (initial bootloader++ primitive bootloader)

You can't have a full flash without a boot.bin.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
the params and the sbl are in that post to its just ibl he neeeds now
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] AdamOutler:
It's worth mentioning that anyone who tries to flash the above as an IBL+PBL will brick their device if it works. I need the IBL+PBL package called Boot.bin.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
Ok ill just llok for the sl4g boot bin then
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] AdamOutler:
Still looking for a complete set of bootloaders for this device. Anyone who knows where to find them would be helping greatly to make a worlds first resurrection of a hard bricked device.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Not sure exactly what you need, but here's a dump of bml1-7 from my phone http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12704578/dump.zip
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] AdamOutler:
No. I need a boot.bin. it is part of the source which is not usually released in source form by Samsung. It is needed in its original unaltered form. It cannot be flashed. Flashing separates and fragments the file. The IBL+PBL must be in boot.bin format. A partition dump does not contain the boot.bin. it is a modified version which cannot be reassembled by any means I know of. Its not encrypted but missing functions which you can see in a hex editor.

I need an authentic, Odin flashable boot.bin.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Where would we get that, other than working for Samsung and leaking it directly from them?

[HTC Incredible S] xXxTH3 STiGxXx:
Hi all,

I am currently using the ROM by NiK (Trinity Sensation XL 1.5) and overall the ROM is brilliant. However I have found one small fault.

My university has very strict security and since installing the ROM I have been unable to connect, the device shows "connecting" under the wi-fi option and then instantly disconnects and the cycle is repeated.

I was wondering if anyone has found a solution to this (flashing radio, changing settings etc.) that they could post their solutions as using the mobile network all the time drains my battery considerably quicker than I'd like :(

P.S I have not changed any of the radios or kernels since flashing the Trinity ROM.

Many thanks in advance! :)

[HTC Rezound] bast525:
Any way to do this?? on the Dinc, if you ended the *22899 call three times it let you bypass activation.... no such luck on the Rezound? anyone know the right method?

Edit: nevermind. just boot the phone without the SIM card.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Another thing to try would be to gain temp root with zergroot, and edit the build.prop to not require setup.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
n00b question: What is the benefit of skipping the activation screen? Something to do with rooting/modding later on?

I think I'm going to get this phone as my first smartphone and all of this stuff is new to me so I don't want to screw anything up.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Well it allows you to play with the phone before it gets activated. Also, it would allow me to play with it before my number gets ported from us cellular because that will occur during the activating of my rezound next week.
[HTC Rezound] trippnk:
Just wanted to confirm that if I don't install the SIM card I should be able to use the phone on wifi only. Currently deployed so can't activate the phone until I get back to the states.
[HTC Rezound] lekofraggle:
I think if you tap on the four corners starting with the top left and going clockwise, it exits the activation, but am not sure if this is the case with the resound.

I just got the Vivid on Friday and I'm starting to think I made wrong choice and shouldve gotten skyrocket. I love everything about it, camera, interface, gorgeous screen, etc..BUT, the battery is by far the worst i have ever experienced with a cell phone. By battery was completely dead by 3 this afternoon after fairly light use. Even with task killer, I'm at a loss for this battery's pathetic power. Anyone experiencing same problems? I don't expect a super battery, but when using the iphone 4 prior, the battery was worlds better, seriously. Any ideas? Are u guys experiencing same?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] z45123:
I love the phone you have to tweak the battery settings let the battery power up and then power down a couple of times I now get over two days on the same battery. The skyrocket has its own issues GPS which never sets burn in from the screen etc.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
I had the Skyrocket for a few days and went back to get this phone. The Skyrocket does have it's share of issues. 1. No FM Radio which I kinda Like. 2. Not a fan of the UI, as I tend to like Sense more. 3. When watching movies in the dark let's say you get a black screen or dark for a moment, you can see small lines going through the movie until it changes to lighter scenes. If you can deal with those things than I would say go for the Skyrocket as it already has root and an OC/UV kernel plus some Roms are starting to pop up.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] deepsunn:
Were you baking a cake with it? I get at least 14 hours out of mine with moderate use. I switched from an iPhone 4 and have absolutely no issues. What's your brightness level set at, and what are your network/data settings (i.e. Wifi on all day, auto-sync, background data, GPS, etc.)?

Would you mind telling us how you're getting "over two days"? I'm happy with a full day and having to charge in the evening, but over two days would be phenomenal..

Also, I'm totally satisfied with this phone.. I think it's exceptional, even coming from the iPhone 4's awesome battery life. Boom.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] danjson:
Wow, 2 days on one charge?! Can't imagine that with what i've seen so far...hopefully after powering up a couple times, it'll improve. Do i need to let it drain completely before powering up? The battery is the only thing i'm disappointed in right now, but obviously its a major issues if the battery is just brutally weak
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] saint168:
The first day I got this phone, it was dead in about 6 hours. However, when I use it like a phone, I'm getting ok battery life out of it. It's now at 40 percent and it's 8 pm.
