This one is thankfully simple:

- Open up the framework-res.apk in 7zip (open archive)

- Go into - res/drawable-hdpi/

- Change zz_moto_gradient_bg.png to whatever you want (540x960 px)

- Replace that file with yours

- Close the archive

- Put it back into system/media

- Change permissions to RW-R-R

- Move to system/framework folder

- Reboot and enjoy!

[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Does anyone know what controls the animation for the back + home screenshot function that was added to the GB build? How hard would it be to simply make a theme without the animation?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
The screenshot feature was available on stock EE4, not just GB. As far as what controls it, I have no idea.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fitti28:
You use screenshotu which is free in the market
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
No the stupid animation was added in GB. It delays the actual capture by a few seconds.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
What screenshot animation?
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
On GB when you do back + home it lags for a few seconds, then lightens the border of the screen so it looks like you're taking a picture, then takes the shot, whereas on FroYo it immediately took the shot with no animation or lag.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
well unless you can find a dev willing to write a new screenshot apk for you or modify the existing one you're probably better off using an app like Drocap2 or Shoot Me (search for the apk's on google as they're not on the market anymore)

Hey guys

Finally got into CWM :D with my SGS2

But tried to install the BioHazard ICS ROM, and it gets to the Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9100, then sticks there with the warning triangle.

What can be done, is it bricked?

Thanks

Oli
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagicMan3:
Pull the battery, go into download mode (power, volume down, home button) and try flashing the rom via odin
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oli3107:
No worries, she works on ICS now :D :D :D

But, no Wi-fi... anybody know why
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudferret:
Not bricked. You can boot into CWM (volume up + home + power) and:

-flash it again

-or restore the back up you made before flashing (if you didn't, you should have)

-or DL Samsung firmware and flash it.

Edit; you're sorted out, I recall first boot up on one of the ICS alphas taking a LONG time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oli3107:
No wi-fi or camera so far...

Either of the last two options I listed above or if cwm wasnt retained then you will have to use the last option.

I'm sorry I just need to vent this, mostly because they have been horrible at communicating and have yet to respond to prior inquiries.

This entire order/experience has been botched from the beginning. I ordered Thursday morning requesting overnight shipping for delivery on Friday. Apparently the bank flagged this transaction as suspicious but I never received an email/call/contact of any kind from Expansys until late Thursday night. I just happened to check the status on the website and noticed that there was an issue about 20 minutes before your offices closed, so I called and was on hold for almost 35 minutes (at this point past closing time) and no one ever picked up. I then called today, Friday, to request priority overnight shipping for Saturday delivery and to change the shipping address to my home address (as I was originally expecting to have it delivered Friday at work). The man I spoke with said it would be an additional charge for Saturday delivery, to which I agreed. Now I get the tracking number for "standard overnight" which will be delivered to my home on Monday while I will of course be at work! Additionally, I was still charged for the priority overnight shipping and Saturday delivery! I'm not taking off work to receive this shipment so I imagine I'll have to drive way out to go get it from their sorting facility.

The end result is that something that was ordered with overnight shipping on Thursday will be arriving on Monday, if I'm lucky enough to have the time to go pick it up myself. This could have been completely avoided had you not dropped the ball more than a few times. At this point I'd like my shipping costs refunded, or someone get a hold of FedEx in time and have that packaged delivered on Saturday. How does this happen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Had this not happened, you would have received your phone by now.

That's not Expansys' fault.

My transaction from them was superb. Phone in my hands hours after ordering.

My bank also did not flag anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ellesshoo:
They had about 7 hours from when they knew this before close of business that day and did not contact me in any fashion. Their FAQ even implies this happens to them often. One would think they might want to get in touch with someone who requested/paid for overnight shipping at some point before it was too late. Instead I had to find out myself and when I did and tried to contact them it was like everyone skipped out of work 30min before office closing time. The next day, still no contact until I called them and what do they do? They botched things up royally again and charged me more money. Just not smooth or impressive at all.

I'm on the hook for freaking $40+ for "overnight" shipping that is going to take from Thursday to Monday (Monday at best since it will not be shipped to my work). Can you even call it a "delivery" if I'm the one who will be driving 14 miles out to a FedEx facility to pick it up?

I just find it amazing that I talked to the same rep twice today about the shipping thing, confirmed, yada yada.. Even charged correctly for it. But then they still managed to drop the ball.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyhigh2004:
I ordered mine from them and my bank did the same thing. Didn't you notice where it said if the delivery and billing addresses don't match additional security checks will be needed? It said it right at the bottom of the order confirmation page you get right after you submit your order. I called and got it squared away preemptively right after I ordered. It took 23 hours for me to get it. :)

i also want to add in experience for NEWEGG.COM

I ordered from newegg.com, rather than expansys, mobilecity, pvcs, or any other specialty shops, because newegg is an established and credible retailer; ive purchased stuff from them for over 10 years.

i paid for expedited shipping because i travel often, and i needed it to arrive home at a precise time.

2 days after ordering, my order was still "processing". then i finally received an email saying Order on Hold - phone # or address does not match credit card information.

i called back immediately, but was placed on a 20 minute wait before being able to speak to an agent. (the online chat service had a similar wait). the agent confirmed that my information was 100% correct, but that she would need to forward this information to the "security team", and the order would not ship until cleared by security team..... despite, yes, that she herself was able to confirm my information, as entered, was 100% correct

i canceled the order, and im never buying from them again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BarryH_GEG:
Overall, Expansys is pretty decent to work with. Their systems are only semi-automated which means inventory levels shown on their site are wrong and back-end communication is almost totally manual. They're very good at after sale follow-up even though their bankers hours can be frustrating when you need to talk to some one. They and Negri are the only two that provide warranty support and that's a plus that goes on longer than the initial purchase which is a one time event.

P.S. - NewEgg's international phones have no warranty so the last poster may have dodged a bullet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ellesshoo:
After my experience I whole heartedly disagree about their "after sale follow up". I got my Nexus S from Negri and things went smooth as butter. I have no idea why I didn't go with them this time. Negri from here on out for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
Good luck with the warranty from negri. I think someone posted that they had a problem with their SGN and negri blew them off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] markzip:
My experience with Expansys

I pre-ordered via website and gave them PayPal. They emailed me to confirm and told me that I would need to confirm again once the stock arrived.

Then they emailed me and said "we've got the stock, please confirm the mailing address, method and payment". I did and the parcel arrived 4 days later (with the Thanksgiving Thursday in between).

All was well and smooth with my order, I have no complaints and I am loving my Galaxy Nexus. Thanks Expansys.

[HTC EVO 3D] Porsche.V:
Hi people. I have my evo for 3 months now and i want to root it. Vut i have some questions that are holding md back.. Should i root it via htcdev or cmw? Will i loose my warranty with cmw? Because i don't want to change the rom for now as i am waiting for the official release of ics.. Last question, if i root it via htc dev or cmw, will my apps and personal data and setting be deleted? Will the rom itself be untouchted and will still receive official updates? How do i now my evo is gms or not? Thank a lot in advance for your help
[HTC EVO 3D] greeg32:
Turn your phone off, press power and volume down until a white screen comes up. Look at what Hboot you are on. If you are lower than 1.5, use the method found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1218193

If you are 1.5, you have to use the method found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239821

Technically if you root, you void your warranty. But if you unlock using the second method, HTC will have it on their books, voiding their warranty. From what I can see you still have Sprint to fall back on. You will also lose all of your current data on your phone. Your SD card is untouched.
[HTC EVO 3D] Twolazyg:
There its no rooting system with cwm, that is a recovery. Your choices are htcdev or revolutionary. 1.5 hboot requires you to use htcdev. 1.3 or 1.4 you can use revolutionary. All user data will be erased, then you have the option to flash a new ROM.

To answer your question about whether you have CDMA or GSM, you probably shouldn't root your phone. If you have sprint, you're CDMA. If not, you're GSM.

Please do some more research before you root, you probably don't want to brick your phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Porsche.V:
I'm not on sprint, i'm from portugal.. I will read some more and then try it out.. Thanks a lot!
[HTC EVO 3D] Porsche.V:
This is strange.. if i press power+volume down, nothing happens.. i keep pressing it for like 20 ou 30 seconds and nothing.. but, when i release them, the evo boots normally but instantly.. usually it takes like 2 minutos to fully boot and, this way, as soon as i release the power+vol down it is completely booted..

bad thing is that, this way, i can't check if i'm 1.5 or under.. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] greeg32:
Not sure how GSM works, like twolazyg said, maybe do a lot more research on it before doing stuff. Sorry didn't think of that before, I forgot there were GSM folks here.
[HTC EVO 3D] Porsche.V:
it was on reboot and not on "turn off" and on by that method.. it is HBoot 1.49.0018
[HTC EVO 3D] thos25:
You probably have fastboot checked under your power settings. You have to shut that off in order to get into your bootloader screen.

My advice.... Read a lot more. Then once you've read up. Read some more.

I am willing to bet you need to htc development unlock that phone. Or, I guess if you are gsm version you can downgrade your hboot now, so that might work out well for you.

Either way though.... You are a long way from rooting (htcdev Or revolutionary) , downgrading hboot, or anything else based on the comments you've made thus far.

Read up. Read up. Watch youtube Vids on rooting. Read more. Watch more Vids. Then root (as you are reading a step by step tutorial and watching a tutorial video on youtube). Good luck.
[HTC EVO 3D] Porsche.V:
Sure will thanks.. But of my hboot is 1.49 cant i use the step by step guide that greeg told for my hboot? Why do i need to downgrade?
[HTC EVO 3D] Porsche.V:
Just one quick question. if i only root my evo, the rom will still be updated officially right? thanks

In that thread, it use mock method.

It has some latency and do not have star map.

This picture, it's a star map.
[Kindle Fire General] Glasairmell:
The picture you show in the op looks like sat postions to me. I was not aware of a star map.

Perhaps you could elaborate more so I can be more clear on what you have accomplished beyond tether gps and what apps you are running. :)

Since I am a pilot any improvement on the KF gps navigation is of great interest to me.
[Kindle Fire General] lionclaw:
Did you somehow manage to add a hardware GPS? I see the GPS icon in the notification bar is active.

If so, I'd love to see any pics you have and instructions for the addon.

So it's totally different from mock gps. It has very low latency.

[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
One of the most missed features on the KF was a lack of GPS. There are a whole bunch of Weather related stuff I could do with a KF enabled with a GPS.

I saw the other article about using Tether GPS and thought I'd give it a try.

I already have a copy of SQLite Editor so I just used it to change the mock settings in the database on the phone. Real easy.

Loaded the TetherGPS on my Droid Incredible and the KF and linked the KF to my Dinc to get the signal.

Works Great!
[Kindle Fire General] Glasairmell:
Yes and the OP seems to have coded a better solution however is being rather quiet about what or how he did it.
[Kindle Fire General] fr4nk1yn:
just to throw some kerosene on this.

it was mentioned in another thread that the wifi chip also has gps capabilities.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
I think he has written an app to pull location info from WiFi access points. The problem with that is you have to have access to WiFi that has GPS.

My 4G Hotspot for example does not have GPS in it. I think the other model 4G, the MiFi model does. Not sure you can get that info from a Hotspot tether from a smart phone though.

The difference between his GPS Status display and mine, is his shows Sat positions, mine does not. I'm pretty sure that is because TetherGPS does not send that info.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] nitrous²:
I don't think so. I had the Palm Pre 1 and still have the Pre 3. They're great and easy to use. WebOs has so much potential, it shouldn't be given up that easy. It's so innovative and full of interesting functions, I would love to see a port to the SGS!!

Some of it's benefits:

really fast!!

easy to use

a great solution for "multitasking" (some say it's a useless gimmick, but they should take a look how other OS's solved this problem (!...))

Opensource

To compare how good the software architecture of WebOs is, take a look at the Moto Droid (Milestone 1) and the Palm Pre. While the Droid is very laggy on Eclaire or even Froyo, the Palm Pre, with the same processor as the Droid, runs very very fast and smooth. Even with WebOs 2.1, which isn't really released for the Pre. There's a port of WebOs 2.1 for the Pre and even then it's still so smooth and fast. Flash contents on websites are running very fast, but when I take a look at my Droid using flash contents on websites...I'm able to count the frames...

I still belive in WebOs, because it'S, in my opinion, a great OS!!
