[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
hi.

ive been hearing about unlocked bootloaders lately. Don't know anything about it.

So... what is it exactly? And is out G2x have an open bootloader?

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
When the boot-loader is locked you you have limitations to what you can flash. You can't overclock to my understanding, and you can't have ROM's like CM7 flashed onto it.

G2x doesn't have a locked bootloader. But phones that do are usually Verizon's Droid line. HTC used to lock them down, but have recently changed their minds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
LG's corporate policy is to NEVER lock the bootloader. If you buy an LG phone the bootloader is unlocked, period. If you want to flash anything other than an official update you must have an unlocked bootloader. Phones with locked bootloaders don't allow you to flash custom recovery and roms. There are ways around a locked bootloader to flash custom roms, but that discussion is beyond the scope of this thread. If you want to guarantee an unlocked bootloader stick with LG phones.

1. can a tmobile theme (for cyanogen) change the appearance of lockscreen (as it happens on miui)?

How You create custom ROM?

P.S. Sorry for my english
[LG Optimus Black] masterthor:
You could customize your phone as you seem fit, and then do a nandroid backup which will save it as a zip file, which others could then flash as a custom rom via clockworkmod :)
[LG Optimus Black] SnegovikRZN:
Thank you!
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Each ROM files have it's own decryption/extraction algorithm. I've talk to someone XDA member who has able to decrypt LG ROM, it depend on .dll included.

But because he doesn't have P970 so he only give me his program coded with C# and explain the method. That time I'm trying to decrypt LG Marquee's ROM, but no luck. And because it's not compatible with P970, then I quit :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lithid-cm:
I'm no themer, but I believe the reason the lock screens are not ever themed is because that app can't control the framework elements in its current state. The themed parts are in systemui.apk.

Github.com/cyanogenmod

That will list the cyanogenmod repo. Check out the two themes built with cyanogenmod. You will get a feel as to what's going on.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] championswimmer:
oh thanks lithid!!!

umm...to make my own theme I'll need my own namespace too right? (com.tmobile.mytheme) how do i get to do that?

just edit it in Androidmanifest.xml?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lithid-cm:
Yes
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] championswimmer:
just decompiled some themes and noticed res/xml/Android.xml provides redirections to framework-res. which means the lockscreen pngs at least can be themed.

the "behaviour" of lockscreen however cannot be themed as you said.

Once again... This is news for the International Version of Galaxy S. Our beloved Vibrant was left out way back in the Froyo Days. The International at least got GB source released and even official for all but the Vibrant.

So sorry if this is rude but, this is no news to us Vibrant owners.

read the news today?

http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-includes-face-unlock-and-other-ics-features/

seems like samsung had (or has?) been working on some GB/ICS features for the i9000 series.

Can't complain, it's official software, whether it was leaked legitimately or not. This may be a very good sign for us.
[Vibrant General] Panamon:
GPS Fail

[ROM][07-JAN][4.0.3] ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) Passion v10.6 - Proof it can and does work just fine on Galaxy S hardware.

As far as leaving out Touch Whiz... I seriously doubt most would consider that a deal breaker :rolleyes:. Leave it out if it won't fit. That reason is too lame to explain why official updates just stopped so early in this phone's life.

It is simple in my mind. Samsung screwed the pooch on 10,000,000 phones with the faulty GPS hardware they chose to stick into these phones. All roms, from the "official" garbage Samsung's put to the excellent roms from brilliant developers like the one above, can never seem to get the GPS in these phones working properly.

Samsung wants 10 million Galaxy S phones to just go away, so we'll stop asking them when they're finally going to fix the gps.

Samsung gave up on the Galaxy S long ago.
[Vibrant General] alexdemonumber3:
You know what, the devs here are crazy awesome. They've basically put a stable NON-TOUCHWIZ ICS on our devices (passion and a couple others but passion in particular) and I couldn't be more thankful as I am not well off and have to buy older devices to keep my android addiction fixed :P thanks devs for all that you do. We truly appreciate you guys

Sending my love from Texas <3
[Vibrant General] JettyLife:
Flash ICS passion and call it a day. GPS works, mute/unmute is being worked on.

I've been running it for a week and its silky smooth
[Vibrant General] vinas1:
So, I've been out of the vibrant loop for a bit. What is the best/most stable daily driver for you guys?
[Vibrant General] mikka06:
The most stable rom for me (and not only me) is by far Bionix 1.3.1. After all the roms that i tried(2.3 or ics) Bionix is still the best with no bugs and working gps
[Vibrant General] gatorbob:
Passion still has a few bugs to work out, but otherwise it's the best rom I've ever had on my Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Yep.
[Vibrant General] jsparakov:
Remember that GPS works* for ICS but with an asterisk! Once your phone goes to deep sleep, GPS won't work until you reboot your phone and use it immediately (before any deep sleep). This is a highly accepted observation.
[Vibrant General] papa.steve:
Support for phones

It's official, we are no longer supported.

Not supporting Sammy but.... I've found this problem (little or no support) with anything that is electronic a common practice. These companies are pushed buy sellers and yes the consumer to come up with the next 'latest and greatest'.

Appliances, TV's, modems, routers, computers... you name it, after months of support Sammy and the like, move along and let the buyer find resources to upgrade.

and so a +1 to your following statement and DEVs'

Thank you to all DEVs that have been cooking & porting ROMs with the latest. Without you, my phone would be an expensive and out-of-date purchase.

whats the E911/911 bug?
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
There ARE people who would run official stock ICS. Eclair was a problem for me sometimes, laggy non responsive etc. The only reason I dont run stock is because custom roms seem to be faster. Official ICS = faster custom roms.
[Vibrant General] Woody:
This is reading between the lines. ;) Do you really think anyone will run an "official" ICS ROM? -->maybe my brother-in-law or someone who has no idea what ROM stands for.
[Vibrant General] Jeffe5:
Could not agree more! Passion is friggin amazing! Thanks to the DEVS for keeping the Vibrant community alive and keeping our phones interesting!
[Vibrant General] Panamon:
Pretty sure the only real value of the "official" ROMs are the proprietary drivers for things like, GPS and radios needed from each phone's maker. Each major Android revision needs drivers tweaked at a low level.

The Devs that work on ROMs like ICS do their amazing best without proper drivers but I'm with sure life with them would be far less frustrating for our beloved Devs. We often tend to blame them for some things that don't seem to work quite right within their ROMs. Glitches gladly left beyond their control by companies like Samsung when they decide to abandon hardware in hopes users will have to go out and buy new phones.

Sent from an ICS 4.0.3. powered Vibrant thanks to awesome Devs. NO thanks to Samsung.
[Vibrant General] Woody:
Exactly my friend. Exactly.
[Vibrant General] raj_m_1:

[Vibrant General] misfitpierce:
Only reason I love samsungs are because they seem to be almost impossible to brick thanks to the setup with heimdall and odin. HTCs I've seen people brick quite easy. I don't like how Samsung doesn't keep up with updates making you want to fork out more money for their newest model which is what they want. If you plan on keeping it where you plan to stay modding your android phone then id stick with Samsung. If you want a phone to not mod that keeps up with updates HTC or Motorola seem to do better. Ill stick with Samsung personally.

then it reboots. over and over constantly... I would love just to go back to stock software even.... Just have no idea what to do!

I used the AIO Vibrant Toolbox and used the rom file for Version 10.

I looked at the SD card in a card reader and i see no ROM File at all... so i copied

ICS_NBv10.zip to the root of the SD Card and renamed it ROM.ZIP... and that didnt do anything. also tried VIBRANT_ICS_Passion_boot.zip but to no avail. I admit that im a stupid noob.....

Please help this dumb noob.

I suggest you ODIN back to stock and start over.

Download ODIN (below). It does not work on Macs. You will need Heimdall and can be found HERE << LINK.

HERE IS ODIN << DOWNLOAD THIS

The TAR FILE << DOWNLOAD THIS

MD5: 632730F6B637F53E5B10E5CBC8B966A7

Move all files to Desktop.

- Mount your phone and move the rom to the internal (sdcard/ ) & the update.zip file (if needed)

- Power down the phone, or pull the battery.

3 - DOWNLOAD MODE

*NOTE - IMPORTANT*

On my PC, ODIN will NOT work when my camcorder is plugged in.

If you notice ODIN not working, you may pull the battery if it has not started/hung (again, at YOUR risk, not my fault/responsibility). Remove any USB devices just in case if you are worried about it, I have to.

Quote

1- Open ODIN on your PC. (DO NOT PRESS/SELECT ANYTHING IN ODIN!)

2- Plug in the USB Cable to PC

(preferably the one that came with your phone *My N1 cable doesn't work??*)

3- Power down Phone if you had not already.

4- Remove the battery.

5- Plug USB into Phone.

6- Hold down BOTH volume buttons and while holding both, insert the battery.

7- Two to three seconds later your phone will be in Download Mode.

Be mindful to not remove connection while ODIN is running.

** ALT METHOD

You can also just power down the phone, open ODIN, load the pit and tar, connect USB to pc, hold both volume buttons and connect USB to phone. This is how I do it. Some are not able to do this so the above instructions were used just in case. **

4 - ODIN

Go back to ODIN on your PC. Should be a yellow box under ID COM, Something like COM 5. If not, likely a problem with your drivers, see this THREAD FOR DRIVERS that I created. Should help. If you were on Cyanogen or MIUI you may need the Nexus S Drivers, Google them.

Click the PIT button, Select the PIT file from desktop

Click the PDA button, select the TAR file

** Re-partition is checked now in ODIN - THIS IS APPROPRIATE!! **

Click Start. Unless ODIN hangs, you should see a progress bar start soon after. The process takes a few minutes and you told ODIN to reboot once done.... so... when your phone boots up, you are on stock JFD.

IF ODIN HANGS ON YOU:

- Are you using my files (all 3 of them?)

- Did you check the MD5 using Hashtab (LINK)?

- Are you using the cable that came with your phone?

- Have you tried other USB ports on you PC?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l33thax3d:
no good, as i try to put it into recovery mode, it keeps rebooting, I even hear the USB connecting and disconnecting as it goes threw its boot loop, odin doesn't even detect it since it reboots so fast.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exel:
No, you need to put it in download mode, not recovery mode.

1. Pull the battery.

2. Connect USB Cable.

3. Hold Volume Up & Down.

4. Put battery back in.

5. Download mode.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l33thax3d:
hold volume up and down as i put the battery in? or hold them then put the battery in?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtoman7777777:
Put the battery in, hold both volume buttons, then insert USB cable.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l33thax3d:
I did what you guys told me to, and it just keeps doing the loop. I had ODIN opened without changing any settings, plugged in the usb to the phone, then I went and held volume up and volume down and inserted the battery and kept helding them, I get a pinwheel that comes up for 1 sec, doesnt spin, then another one for another second which also spin, then screen goes black and then I get the CWM based screen that makes the phone reboot, which it does, and then the Vibrant screen appears, goes black, then the Vibrant screen appears, goes black again then the CWM Based screen comes up, then we are back to the Vibrant screen, its a endless loop. I held the Vol + and - the whole time.

Hi dear Galaxy Note owners.

As many of you I'm not quite satisfied by Galaxy Note screen.

Most of the feedback reveal sub-par results, despite we all know the potential here is huge (to say the least).

References:

- [Q] Galaxy Note Screen Issues!!!

- [Q] Video on Note

Worst offender being shadows rendering: my diagnostic: what's supposed to be dark is not so dark.. and then boom its black (ie black clipping)

As a result color look dull, some UI elements show not quite as they're supposed to, and videos exhibit awful banding, blocking and ringing artifacts.

That's why I can announce here I started working on Galaxy Note screen color.

Don't expect immediate results as it's a complex topic and I'm working on other projects where users expect updates (like Voodoo LOUDER), but I wanted to give keep you updated.

Exactly, the sad part is that they are just very dismissive about the issue and outright rude just because they got a 'perfect' screen or their standards are low.
