Just checked this out, BRD launcher, 7 x 6 grid with resizable widgets and modded pixel density.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1390935

Just wondering if anyone could mod the stock launcher to have a 10x10 layout and resizable widgets, possibly with and without the Google search. (or 9x10 if necessary). This is really the only thing I'm looking to change with the stock launcher.. Is anyone willing to give this a shot?

edit:

Yes I know this can be done easily with a home replacement, just wondering if anyone would be interested with the stock launcher. I've used LauncherPro religiously on previous phones, but I'm really liking the stock launcher on this phone..

[Optimus One, P500, V General] vikasb32:
i don't understand what is not work.did you manage to install recovery?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gamingking3000:
This is what step seven says

7. select the extracted recovery folder as "image folder or select image" in lgmdp

The button "select image" is not working. I am able to click it but it doesn't do anything. Do I need to download lgmdp from another site or something?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vikasb32:
First download your recovery file in .img format then follow the step of lgmdp and when you click select image file then a small window is open where you select that recovery.img file after that some Waring is given just ignore the waring and follow the remain steps ie click on download button.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gamingking3000:
Thats the problem. I cant select image because the screen doesn't pop up if I click image select
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vikasb32:
If you are using window 7 or vista run lgmdp as admissiontator and if this don't work redownlod lgmdp and try again.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gamingking3000:

I am beyond annoyed with Sprint as of late. For a few weeks now I have had my messages delayed or not sent. Then all of a sudden, the following day I get a bunch of old texts. People think my phone is possessed. I've had to use Google Voice to check if my messages are being sent. There are numerous complaints about this across Sprint Community and across platforms, so it's not isolated to one particular phone. Sprint is pretending like this isn't an issue. Here is just an example

http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/381442

I don't know what can be done about this. I've already complained and reported it, but they claim it's not a widespread problem. Thoughts/comments are appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aimbdd:
Same thing. Happened with og evo, evo 3d, and epic touch.

I don't know if this is related to their "network upgrade" or what, but it's beyonnd annoying.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:

I don't know that it's just location specific. It seems to be happening across the board according to other complaints on Sprint Community

Unfortunately wiping profile and PRL only works sometimes. I tried with and without Google Voice. It still happens. I end up checking if my messages are sent via Google Vice which uses wifi as opposed to data with Sprint, so messages are more likely to go through with GV.

Hello guys

First of all, I'm new in here, so I don't know much stuff.

I recently got my transformer and wanted to check out the Android Revolution HD rom. Before flashing it, I made a backup using CWM.

I tried the rom (before installing it, yes, I did the superwipe thing) but didn't like it because the gps issues. I wanted to go back to stock and did again a superwipe and then made a restore from the backup.

When I rebooted my tablet, the configuration screen came up and started freezing and rebooting. I tried re-flashing the backup but it kept going on with the crashing and rebooting stuff.

I've been searching far and wide on how to go back to stock and I have found just the nvflash but my serial starts with B70 so I know I can't use it.

I decided to reflash Android HD Revolution because it's the only way the tablet will work, but I would love to go back to stock so I can use the gps properly.

So, Is there any way I can go back to stock? If this means something, I live in South America, so I assume I need a WW thing or whatever that means ;)

Thanks in advance for your help :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodeffect:
ok guys, I'm so confused in rooting and flashing kernal, ROMS and stuffs.

Here's my phone info:

Baseband - I9100GDZKJ2

Kernal - 2.6.35.7 se.infro@SEI-30#2

Model - GT-I9100G

The problem I'm having now is I don't know which guide to use.

Does those guides only applies to "GT-I9100" and not "GT-I9100G" ? Is there a difference between with "G" and without "G" model? I really need help from the experts here. Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manishdev:
Yes there is a difference between them. I have a G model and the following rooting method worked for me

1) Rooting: Use DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su

2) Use odian to Flash superatmos_I9100G_kernel_v1.2 and get CWM mode

After this you can use the few Custom Roms available for G model

I've tried searching everywhere and used Google but couldn't find anything. Anyone know how to change the bg color in the actual conversion?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
I can't find it either. And I certainly for the life of me get the ET4G mms.apk to compile correctly. I think there's an app that's dependent on mms.apk when you decompile it. Anyways, a reference I found to the background color would be this.

<style name="cmas_alert" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">

<item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>

</style>

Inside Styles.xml.

Also Colors.xml has some grey shades. It's in one of those two. Both inside the values folder when you decompile the app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
I never decompiled the MMS.apk. I opened it with 7.zip and replaced all the files that started with message_bubble with ones I liked from another mms.apk I found. When I flash a new rom, I merely replace the folder "drawable_hdpi" with my modded one. I had no issues doing it that way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] suwu10:
Ya I've tried searching in the colors and styles xmls and changing stuff but nothing seems to work. And I've been using twframework.apk as the dependency to decompile and compile.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] suwu10:
This is fine if your just replacing images but if you wanna edit xmls you have to decompile and recompile
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
I agree...but in your OP you asked about changing the background color of the conversation. I assumed you meant the "bubbles" the conversation text occurs. Those are all .9.png located in res/drawable/hdpi. There are 19 of them. I changed these out with two shades of blue from a themed mms.apk I pulled from another Rom.

However, if you're talking the true background and text here is a post in another forum with the XML edits he did after decompiling:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] suwu10:
Thanks a lot. I'll take a look at it. And ya I was talking about the gray background where the conversation is.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JFMFT:
(Personal opinion here, of course.)

I don't care about battery life. The battery on the Galaxy Nexus is removable. When my phone is dead, I swap out my battery for another one. Two batteries gets me through ANY day, regardless of usage patterns. Batteries are small and fit in men's and women's pockets easily. They fit in glove boxes, desk drawers, etc. They're portable, lightweight, compact, etc. You can take them almost anywhere.

I purchased the Samsung battery charger kit and haven't looked back. Instead of charging my phone and feeling tethered to my charger all day, I use my phone however I want and swap batteries in/out as I need to, and I only charge my phone overnight while sleeping now. The rest of the time, I only charge my batteries through the charging kit.

All these threads on battery calibration, battery life, etc. just seem unwarranted to me. I'm used to toting a charger around with me, so now I just bring my battery kit (usually it sits in my car, not needed) and if my battery dies, I swap in a fresh one and charge the spare with the kit. This way, I can have my phone on me all the time without worry. If I have no nearby electric outlet I can still take along the extra battery and charge both batteries later. I actually have 3 batteries, if I need them (I can't imagine ever using all 3 in a day).

I don't even use the extended battery. Why fatten up my phone, even if only by a little, if I don't need to do so?

This is food for thought, that's all. Does anyone else just use spare batteries and no longer worry (or even obsess, as I used to do with my Thunderbolt) over squeezing out every drop of battery life? To me, life is easier and better this way.

There's a name for the feeling of not being tethered to your charger all day. I call it freedom. It's awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smacman:
I see where you are coming from.. What do you think of the battery cover? Is it difficult to work with when swapping batteries and will it last with such frequent use? How do you make sure that your spare battery is always ready (I guess you must be in the habit of always putting it on a charger)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JFMFT:
The battery cover is easy to remove. I ordered two spares when I ordered my battery kit (door covers are only $3 each) in case they wear out over time, which I doubt will happen. Many days I don't even swap batteries, as my phone typically lasts 10-12 hours on the regular battery anyway. I do charge my phone in the car (why not? my phone would just sit there otherwise) which is ~30-45 minutes a day, enough for an extra 20% charge mid-day which helps my battery hit the 10+ hour mark. And if it doesn't, I just swap for a new battery.

The spare is always ready because I always keep it in the charger kit so I can grab it when I'm in need. The kit has a light which turns green when the spare battery is charged to 100%. The light is red otherwise. It's quite handy.

At night I plug in both my phone and the charger kit using the Y cable charger that comes with the kit (allows 2 devices to charge simultaneously on one charger). In the morning, I have my phone and spare, both ready to go.

May I also say, I've impressed a few of my iPhone-using friends with my spare charger kit. They always say "I wish I could do that, but I don't have a removable battery." I lol every time (silently to myself...)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lithoss:
I completely agree. That and who is really not near a charger ever all day? Maybe a few but hey that's what changeable batteries is for.

I see nothing wrong with improving what we have with calibration and optimization though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Lol sounds like you are super jaded from using a thunderbolt.

IMHO your logic is flawed. Why not get good battery life on one or two batteries rather than mediocre battery life on two batteries.

You shouldn't have to carry around two batts just to get usability out of our device. Two batteries is for when you demand extra from your device.

Like when I went to New York I carried two batteries for my BB9700. Not because it was a battery hog but because I was GPSing and texting all day and didn't want to be stranded with a dead battery. I ended up using both batteries several times skipping charging both of them one night.

edit: I get great battery life on this phone btw. I love it and am very happy with its performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ferradinho:
I do the same thing. Have the extra battery with wall charger and just throw the spare in my pocket if I go anywhere. Like the OP stated I would much rather swap out the battery (if/when needed) and be able to use my phone like I want than worry about trying to conserve it all day.

I haven't had any problems with the battery cover and even if it did I can buy a new one from VZW for $3.25 with my discount ($4.99 retail) so it is a nonissue.

I honestly don't know why so few people do this. And I very rarely even end up using the spare battery, I just like knowing I have it if needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JFMFT:
Agreed. I read that stuff to be informed, but no longer out of a crazy desire to extend my battery life because I can't live without doing otherwise. It's a nice change.

Again, I'm not saying anyone else has to or should do this. But it makes so much sense to me, and I like to share what works for me to help others who are looking for other options regarding battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JFMFT:
I'm a realistic type of guy. What I want from my phone and what I get from my phone are two different things. To believe they are the same is literally delusional, by definition. To complain about X Y or Z company not providing me with what I want is also a bit irrational if I know that, given today's technology's limitations, what I want might be asking a bit too much. We must work with what we have. I have spare batteries. I use them, liberally if I need to, and I don't mind doing so.

I don't expect a 4G phone to last all day while I play WWF, browse the web, text constantly, check and compose emails, take photos, transfer data, and make phone calls. To get 3-4 hours of screen on time on one battery is great (to me).

I think carrying an extra battery is being more responsible on my end for my own admitted usage of the phone, rather than complaining that the battery life "sucks" or hacking my phone to get an extra 20% battery life (although I'm not against this at all - it's just more work overall). Instead of blaming Verizon, Google, and/or Samsung, I'm taking ownership of the fact that I use my phone quite a lot, and I'm fine with carrying an extra battery or two. Instead of blaming others for the battery life of my own phone, I take responsibility for it and I provide my own solution. If anything, I'm speaking of personal responsibility. And in said responsibility I've found freedom from the dreaded phone charger. Again, it's a nice freedom to have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spywhite:
I agree completely with the OP. A second OEM battery and quality wall dock charger are my second accessory purchase with any of my smart phones. The first being a good case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Having a 2nd or 3rd (or 4th!) battery and/or a charger around shouldn't be a requirement for using your device throughout the day. Sure if you use your phone hard then you're going to be used to having a charger nearby, but it shouldn't be a req if you're a normal user.

I don't think its unreasonable to expect a normal (12 hours) days use out of a device. FWIW most people are getting that (especially GSM users), and I don't think the battery issues are as widespread as people seem to think. There are "omg batterylife" threads in every new device forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spywhite:
For sure, I'm happy with this phones battery life (WAY better than the EVO 3D) but I like having the extra charged battery on hand for when I'm traveling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I often go a full day without seeing a charger. Sure I could carry one around and hunt for outlets throughout the day, but I don't think that should be a concern. Just want the phone to be reliable.
