[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duby1186:
Please move if I posted in wrong section. Was unsure where to request some help.

Background: rooted since feb, have had my share of experience with flashing, odin and rerooting, also some minor bricks needing a battery pull. Im also deaf, and I use my phone for everything but music and calls. Still need phone to use with hamilton app if emergency. Main big one, my vision isnt perfect.

I plan to start from scratch. Odic back to stock, reroot, flash it ei22. I have my eyes set for the mostlystock rom by xbtx unless just flashing themes and mods would work better for what im after? Keep reading to find out what. The less clutter the better. And ill delete whatever I may not need. Like the voodoo sound apk or voice record and dialer. I will use titanium backup to restore my apps.

I can just delete anything related to sound or voice controls but im having a hard time when it comes to font size and resolution. I have font an app to change resolution size along with other apps to change just font size. Yeah ok they work but not exactly clearly. When I tried it with roms it seems like the rom is set to a spacific size so when I try to enlarge font or resolution, certain menues dont configure correctly. The text would be half hiding under the icon above it for that menu or id personaly love to be able to make the app drawer 3x4 so the names of the apps or folders are on one line and not cut in half and shown on two lines.

It also helps when when all the menus are black with white text, same for the signal bar. White bars not blue. Blue is hard to see. I think I seen mods for this but if anyone can revamend the rom and maybe create a theme/mod I can flash to correct these problems. Please let me know.

Im sure im not the only person who has bad eyes. :) I just wish I could enlarge things or have a better app or menu to really customize font size. I dont care for fancy font. I prefer arial bold if I had a choice lol or the stock font just bold. Anyone up to help me out? Thanks so much!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeerChameleon:
Ok

So if i read that correctly "

You want a mod or something to make something bigger?

What exactly do u want to make bigger? :confused:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duby1186:
yeah the font. there are apps out there that do this but the main problem comes with the app drawer labels or when in actual apps that has a menu that comes up from the bottom of screen.

spare parts doesnt save the enlarged app size. is it possible to make a type of menu baked into a theme that changes font size? and a 3x4 app drawer option?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duby1186:
ok as i think about this. basically its a theme and has these spacific things baked into it.

--3x4, 3x5 app drawer option

--change font size 12-20pt (i use 16-18 but know others who would prefer bigger or if my eyes get blurry id like the option)

--black background white text for ALL menus

--circle battery mod (green is easier to see then the blue)

--keep signal strength bars white

--the brighter green ive seen used can be the secondary color for the other various things, like wifi, 4g, or bluetooth is activated. or as something downloads. whatever :)

i use golauncher bc i like the folder setup. so no need to add a launcher. is this possible? anything else i may need to make more clear or change?

i appreciate any help! i wish i knew how to do what you devs and themers do! im a graphic designer so thats as close as i get to creating things :P
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alias8818:
Bigger density? That would appear to make everything bigger.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Changing denstiy will make everything bigger but I do not know how to do this... I am sure there is a thread somewhere on here about doing that just search how to increase density and I'm sure you will find something
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duby1186:
An app from the market called lcd resolution does this. But when u change the density, it makes EVERYTHING huge and then ur screen gets very smushed and u can't view as much at one time. I use this but only increase the density a tad. Then I use another app for font. Looking around ill just find the black menu theme I'm after. I've seen it somewhere. I flashed the cleangb rom and so far its got what I was after.

Is it possible to make a 3x4 and 3x5 app drawer tweak? Id like 3 colums to beable to read the app/folder title on one line. Thanks for ur guys feedback!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtex06:
Which font to you want to make larger?

If the font was white wouldn't that work. I think if you make the font larger it would not work in some of the menus. If you still want this done p.m. me.

Hi

I am sorry if this has already been discussed/solved before but I could not find it and so I am posting a thread.

I am using android 2.3.5 on my galaxy s2(i9100) with Simple&Clean Rom v1.2.

I just love the rom except for the Overscroll glow effect. Its just everywhere and looks disgusting to me.

I loved the previous Bounce effect. Is there any script or Mod or any any way by which I can put back the bounce effect.

Please help. Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] walidhiphop:
i want that too........
[Galaxy S II General] djnoicatse:
I believe you can install the Jkay app from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1154278 theres an option to disable overscroll.

Download this browser http://db.tt/EWQHD8zr and push it to system/app and set the permissions. This should give you back the bounce effect in the browser.

Hope this helps you guys!!!
[Galaxy S II General] an_explorer:
i want that tooooo:mad::mad:
[Galaxy S II General] Pfeffernuss:
Sure, but that does not enable the Bounce effect :D

That does work indeed ;)
[Galaxy S II General] BeBeLuShuL:
I want it back! Damn 2.3.5 update :(
[Galaxy S II General] djsharry:
Problem still not solved..

By replacing the Browser.apk we just get the bounce effect in the browser.

And by disabling Overscroll glow in Jkay settings also does not bring the bounce effect back..

Please help with a solution or a cwm flash or a framework change such that the bounce effect is back everywhere and not the just the browser.. THANKS
[Galaxy S II General] ravn1:
AFAIK the reason they changed that is because its patented by Apple.
[Galaxy S II General] atifsh:
2.3.4 is your answer, and thats the same reason im using the latest 2.3.4. plus dont find any different on 2.3.5 vs 2.3.4. because im using the epic4g touch launcher. so everything else is same for me.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
I also want the bounce effect for a very long time.. :( 2.3.4 is the answer i guess..
[Galaxy S II General] an_explorer:
I have already replaced the Browser.apk but why I can't get the bounce effect in the browser:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] djnoicatse:
Did you set permissions?
[Galaxy S II General] an_explorer:
IS IT LIKE THAT:confused::confused:
[Galaxy S II General] vnvman:
Omg i can't believe i didn't think of this before, thanks a bunch :)
[Galaxy S II General] skibadee:
Thats correct.

Thing is, Apple can block stuff in official roms as much as they feel they need to, and are able to convince some dodgy Judge to agree. But as long as Samsung, Htc, or whoever abied by the ruling and change the official rom, they have done there bit so to say.

As for custom roms

AFAIK Unless they want to try sueing every dev out there, (maybe even you and me lol) Apple can't do **** :P

I'd be glad to get the bounce back in everything. Surprised more roms haven't been built with the option to choose, unless they really are afraid of Apple coming after them ?

Could just be others prefer the overscroll????
[Galaxy S II General] nicacapo:
I also want the bounce effect back,for me is such a really good mod.
[Galaxy S II General] djnoicatse:
Download this browser http://db.tt/EWQHD8zr push it into system/app using a file manager (root explorer) don't forget to set the permissions and reboot when you're done.

As for the settings, gallery and everything else I can't help you out on that....sorry

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimhaddon:
Hi,

I'm attempting to decompile and recompile the Email.apk application on

MIUI 1.11.18 on Samsung Galaxy SII

This is the method I am using:

1) Obtain original Email.apk from phone using root explorer

2) use apktool to extract it

3) make minor changes

4) recompile using apktool

5) sign apk using signapk

6) delete email.apk from /system/apps and replace with above copy

The application installs correctly, however when I launch it, it FCs. I thought it may be something wrong with what I was modifying so I followed the above process again but missed out step 3 (so as to only decompile and recompile without changes), however I still got exactly the same issue.

Log file says:

shortMsg: java.lang.RuntimeException

longMsg: java.lang.RuntimeException: Binary XML file line #15: You must supply a layout_width attribute

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimhaddon:
For anyone else that might get this in the future, I seem to have resolved the issue by using the -r flag in apktool when decompiling.
[Captivate General] zoddfrank:
I have tried everything... is the official 2.2 able to be rooted? If so, then I will wipe and reload that version into my phone :D.

ANY WAYS, DO NOT GET OFF TOPIC!

I still want to know if I can Root leaked version of Froyo 2.2 ... there is literally nothing on the web out there that has helped me, so I am starting this.
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
try this:

open google.com

type in SUPERONECLICK

download from the xda link you get

follow the directions
[Captivate General] freekonwheelz1:
this didnt work for me... so i gave up and went to a different leaked stock rom and ill see where that goes lol
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
then you were doing it wrong. i have used superoneclick on 100 different captivates....
[Captivate General] Dvill1126:
I too have tried without sucess...This is as far as I get and hangs....

see attacthment. Not sure what i am doing wrong? Thanks for input anyone has.
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
try changing the exploit from auto to rageagainstthecage. zerg is a dirty hack.

also, if you would read the last 2 pages of the thread, Superoneclick 2.2 seems to be iffy on root. try 1.9.5

i have been using 1.7 forever
[Captivate General] Dvill1126:
Many Thanks to you for that try it worked perfect!!!! Thanks!!!!:D
[Captivate General] zoddfrank:
I told you that I tried everything lol! 100 different Captivates with the Real 2.2 is a different story... I seen the real 2.2 and on that version the Mobile AP and the Tethering looks like it is locked or something. They literally are two different types of the same version, but I think the leaked version was "hacked" to make it work on a Captivate. Or, if possible was hacked to give it certain appearances and give it a few extra things too.

I can confirm that the following DO NOT work for Froyo 2.2 Leaked Captivate: Superoneclick v2.1, v2.2, z4root. :mad:

If you want to sideload apps from your PC for Froyo 2.2 Leaked Captivate then only AndroidCentral-SWM 1.0 works... weird right? The new one WILL NOT work!:mad:
[Captivate General] zoddfrank:
Hey BRO!:mad: Don't leave here without the evidence that it worked ! lol I started this thing... you need to let us know what you used so this helps more than just... "you". The reason I made this is so it helps everyone trying to google search the topic because the topic does not exist! lol

Give some feedback!
[Captivate General] zoddfrank:
Superoneclick 1.7

The only way to root/ Shell Root Samsung Captivate 2.2 Leaked is with Superoneclick 1.7 ONLY! I can confirm that Root worked, Shell Root Worked, Non-Market App Worked. :D
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
You are so wrong here. You think I didn't have the leaked 2.2 over a year ago? I'm speaking from experience here dude.

Sent from my HTC PH39100
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
You know what? Just to prove you wrong, I'm loading leaked 2.2, onto a cappy and rooting, unlocking, sideload enabling. I can do the hacks manually and with superoneclick

[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
LULZ

i just flashed leaked 2.2, aka JI6 on a captivate, enabled usb debugging, fired up SUPERONECLICK 2.2, rooted and enabled sideloading...

soooooo.....lets recap that shall we?

it works. derp
[Captivate General] studacris:
Maybe he meant kb2.

You should do it again on that firmware :p
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
lol. you're right. because there isnt a kb2 pre-rooted heimdall....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1266172

i will totally do it. ;)

the OP insists 'leaked' 2.2 is unrootable. based on the fact that so many people have done it, proves him wrong.

by the way, i wouldnt consider kb2 to be a 'leak' since its officially out on newer captivates.

LOL. psneuter exploit worked on kb2 from superoneclick 2.2....even enabled sideloading. not really sure what else i could try to prove it....
[Captivate General] zoddfrank:
How am I wrong when I tried them all out? hahaha... But, I did confirm that .. at least for me that the 1.7 SuperOneClick works for me... I'm still running the leaked version :)
[Captivate General] zoddfrank:
I didn't make this post the say that the Leaked 2.2 was unrootable... :P I made it so I would get an answer for me and anyone else who got stuck where I was stuck. I was not able to root my phone until you guys told me that 1.7 works :)... what I did find out later though is that anyone who used the Leaked version 2.2 screwed themselves. Meaning, you lose your unlock code doing so... sad when I found out :P. I have a hunch that adding 2.1 to my phone again would fix that though.

But yeah, long story short I made this post so people could Google the answer I was looking for.... "you can't Root Leaked 2.2 for Captivate?" ( Google This)
[Captivate General] zoddfrank:
Explain to me why it wouldn't work for me but, 1.7 worked... HA! you can't can you? sucker :P
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
So based on your extensive testing with multiple captivates and multiple versions you have concluded that 2.2 is unrootable?

Sent from my HTC PH39100
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
can anyone explain why anyone is waisting time on a 2.2 leak when 2.2 official was out ages ago?

you know leaks are beta versions, right? and beta means 'test' or 'work in progress may be buggy'

you know in a few days after he roots, hes going to be asking to install firefly, then a week later gingerbread.....
[Captivate General] zoddfrank:
Nooo that was taken out of context... Let me explain because you keep jumping the gun.

I never wanted to prove anything about the above... I don't run tests or anything lol, I was NEVER here to say something isn't going to work and I am going to prove it doesn't work. No. I am only a guy with an old ass Captivate with the Beta Version... I really don't care for the extra versions because I like the one I have lol. I KNOW NOTHING about the other versions and don't care if they were tested, I only wanted to root my own personal device and after doing a lot of searches I hit a wall. Thus, I created this for myself and others who may possible run into the same issues that I was having. My phone is 1 year old I got it like 1 week after it came out and updated it like earlier this year. I'm didn't come here to prove anyone to be wrong, I wanted help ... could you not see that? LOL:)

hi guys i am in a very bad situation my friend asked me to put hebrew on his galaxy s 2 , so as a good friend i tried to help him idownloaded the orange zip file and use odin to flash it and now it got stuck on the boot screen i can go into download mode but i dont know how to bring it back to life

please help

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidphile:
Zip files are not meant for ODIN.

ODIN normally flashes tar files which has only the necessary files and no scripts inside.

Clockworkmod is used to flash zip files.

I think you used PDA button on ODIN to flash *.zip file.

Find a kernel with cwm , codeworkx's kernel or siyah kernel.

Flash using PDA of odin.

If it doesn't work, flash an entire stock rom using odin, download from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Then flash a kernel with cwm, and flash hebrew zip in recovery

thanks for the reply I have one more question do I need a USB jig and also what custom binary count for mine says 2

is that a problem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSaw:
If you can get into download mode, you don't need a jig. The binary count shows the number of times you flashed from download mode. It's not a problem, but it's a proof that you did, and it probably means your phone lost its warranty.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricey1986:
You dont need a jig if you can get into download mode but it will reset the binary counter for warranty purposes
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruflot:
Well, some people put the .tar's inside a zip to compress it, so it might be a Odin file after all.

Open the zip file, and if there is just ONE file there, extract it and flash it with Odin. If there are alot of files/folders, it's for CWM ;)

Hi there, i'm no expert in this, but i should imagine that if you made a nandroid backup of your stock rom before installing CM7, you should be ok to just restore that.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonarmy85:
I have already installed cm7 buddy nd stupidly I didn't make a backup I understand that I can't completely restore it bck as bl will always be unlocked I just need the stock T-Mobile UK 2.2.2 rom
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decker39:
I can't be 100% sure about this, but seeing as you haven't installed an official 2.3.4 GB, you might be ok to flash the official stock 2.2 froyo t-mobile firmware. Head over to the super firmware thread and have a look there. As i've already said, I can't be 100% sure about this, hopefully someone with a lot more experience than me will chip in and give you the assurance you after, sorry i can't help you anymore my friend.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decker39:
No problem my friend, if our official 2.3.4 GB update isn't here by next week i'm going down the same route as yourself, unlocking my BL and installing either CM7 or Alien. It seems that us in the UK get left behind when it comes to official software updates! !

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
Ok, so this question is for people that used an upgrade and bought the SGS2 @ Walmart. Or any other phone at that.

Story -

I upgraded one of my lines(my sisters') and got the SGS2. The line I upgraded didn't have a data plan on it.

I knew that once upgrading I was gonna at least have to pay a minimum of $10 for the 4G plan even though I was gonna use the phone on a different line(my own).

I told that to the Walmart girl, she activated the phone, she said I was gonna get billed for the activation fee, did all the paperwork and went about my business. However she never did link the new sim card to the upgraded line.

So once I got home I activated the new sim card on (my line) and started using the SGS2. Not once did I put in the sim card of the actual line (my sisters') on the phone.

So now two months later, I still have an upgrade on the same line, I haven't had an upgrade fee or been charged for the data (which I don't even know if it got activated because the phone on that line is just a basic Samsung Gravity) and haven't tried to use the internet.

Question?

So how long did it take you to finally see it (fees)on your phone bill?

Do I not have any fees because the phone got linked to a different line than the one purchased on?

At this point it seems I bought the phone at Walmart at the full upgrade price without actually upgrading the line and no added fees (data fee, upgrade fee)

I'm curious because I thought by now I would of had those fees on my bill and that line would no longer be eligible for an upgrade.

Has anyone else had this experience at Walmart buying a phone?

#Havingablast w/ my SGS2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
Actually sounds like a Tmobile mistake. My little sister and her husband got an upgrade on both of their lines a few months ago. The upgrades never showed on their account and they still both have an upgrade. And, they got an upgrade mid last year, which also never showed on their account. So they've had 2 upgrades in a year and still have a full upgrade on each line. I wish they would eff my account up like that lol. But yea, it doesn't surprise me a bit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
Lucky them, lol. Well sounds good to me, this way I'll actually use the upgrade for my sister and give her a new phone for Christmas.
