[Samsung Captivate Glide] VideoRoy:
Agreed. I was a Blackberry user for a long time and finally could not take it any longer. Got a hand me down iphone that i used for 2 months before finding the glide.

I have been through 4 cases already. First used my iphone case that clipped on the belt but got tired of that but it fit. Bought the 2 piece snap together hard case but broke the teeth immediately and it interfered with the top row of keys. Finally got a $3.99 ebay vertical pull string pouch so I can just drop it in my pocket and that works the best for me right now.

Over the weekend I ordered the Cellet vertical pouch with removable belt clip so I could have something a little nicer. The phone is naked most of the time and I just put it in the pouch when it is not in use.

Love the keyboard but it does cause some issues when looking for protection.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dbrannon79:
the phone I came from before the glide was a moto cliq, it also had a slide out keyboard. over time I have gotten used to the swype keyboard! call me lazy but I can swype faster than use the hardware keyboard! I do like the luxury of having the best of both worlds tho! :D

Protection is what I am looking for! I work in a heavy equipment mechanic in a steel mill / scrap yard and a bare phone is not a good idea to have!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] terinfire:
It has been about a month since anyone posted -- and saw plenty of people with problems with the other "mainstream" cases -- is there any case that has lasted pretty well? Sounds like none are very good at the moment...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] The_Bizzel:
I go through the chinese cases that u see on ebay about every four months. Main case is me taking the back off all the time, which causes the clips on the back cover to bend and snap off. But at, $2 or $3 for the case, its not a complete loss.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
i bought the case mate case but unfortunately as i wanted the extra protection of zagg maximum (that includes the back panel cover ad the side cover) you can use the case cos its tight as hell and it hurt the zagg protected cover. so i use only zagg for now.

Battery Cover

Can anyone point me towards a cheap battery door for glide ??

Mine is broken at 3 places now..

There are some available on eBay for 12-15 Usd..

Can i get anywhere online for still cheap ??
[Samsung Captivate Glide] inthepit:
just get one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3800mAh-Ext...824283?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a7834b8db

you get a back, and an extended battery... cant go wrong. i get 2 full days+ on my battery, best $10 spent on this phone
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mapo01:
Hello.

The black generic case, (hard plastic, rubberized) only resisted my first phone drop (table height). The clips that hold the case on place broke instantly.

After looking all places for a diferent kind of case, I found this cheap option ($5.99):

Ebay item number: 110937042636

It is available in 3 color options.

It is made of 2 materials, plastic and rubber. The clips that hold the case in place appear to be rubber, so it should not break and should be easy to take off and on.

I ordered it. I will post my opinion after I receive it and test it.

Regards.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] terinfire:
I bought an Empire Case from Amazon. Haven't really dropped it very far (a few falls here and there, but only from 2-3 feet up). Still works fine. Some of them had me scrambling to try and catch it (and ending up adding velocity/speed to it in another direction). Only had it about a week, but seems to be holding up alright.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mathx:
extended battery cant use protective case?

yeah but if you put that on, then how do you get a protective case on it? wont sizing interfere?

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

Just bought the $5.99 clear rubber case mentioned above. We'll see how good it is. And some screen protectors for $1.99 (4x), free ship to canada (HOW at that price?)

also found this: holster + rubber/plastic case, but Im not into holsters, some of you might dig:

[Samsung Captivate Glide] mapo01:
Hello.

Now with the case in my hands I can tell this is the best case for the Samsung i927 or the i927R.

It fits perfectly, protects ALL sides of the phone, it feels like a quality case, even it is $5.99

Its made of hard plastic and rubber at the sides and at the clips that hold the case in place. It is a little difficult to put on since the rubber clips tend to bend, but the important thing is that they don't break. You can put it on and off all the times you like without breaking the clips.

I ordered 2, so I can post pictures of the case off and on the phone.

The case ON my phone has been modified. The other one is in retail condition.

I modified 4 things on the case with a Dremel:

1. I removed the side that robs the free space between the top of the first row of keys in the QWERTY keyboard and the screen. (Thats a problem in all cases for this phone that makes harder to type). With this removal I lost 2 portions of 2 of the 4 clips that holds the top part of the case in place, but it still holds perfectly.

2. I made 1 hole to the left of the camera hole. This phone have a small hole at the left of the camera, I don't know if it some kind of breathing hole for the camera or something, the point is that my previous case had this hole there and I decided to make this hole to this new case.

3. I made 2 small holes below the Samsung logo at the back of the phone to be able to attach a Strap. This phone does not have a place to add a strap. For me a strap is very important as I use it to pull out the phone of my pocket.

4. I removed the rubber that protects the Power and the Volume buttons. I found those buttons hard to press with that protection.

Maybe you don't need any of those mods.

I hope this post/review helps someone looking for a better case for this phone.

Regards.

I spent the thirty five on the speck sure slider case. I have to say it holds up nicely and is very easy to remove and assemble back. The one and only complaint is that the back is hard to grip. I mean its real slick and will just slide around in your hand with ease. Other than that it has survived lots of drops and me hitting it while its in my pocket.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Alex2221:
Do you guys using a case, recommend to use one?

So is it worth the bigger size and harder typing?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mapo01:
For me a case is always important because in the future when you want to change your phone you can sell it at a better price because the case protected it over the time from scratches, hits and cracks.

In this particular phone I like to put a case, make holes in the case and be able to use a strap with the phone,

The typing is harder in this phone with a case, but if you remove the bothering side then you will be free of that problem. See my above post.

I like the bigger size of the phone with a case on, it feels better in my big hands.

Regards.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Rawr0w0:
Can anyone find a hard plastic case? one without the rubber crap? Just a normal hard plastic case so that I can custom paint it?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] thescot33:
I found mine on eBay for 5.00 bucks shipped for free. Nothing coving the spots for any of the buttons

It's hard plastic ... they painted it to look like a carbon fiber? Just googled i927 case carbon fiber and saw one in amazon under 5.00 shipped?

clear plastic & rubber case makes keyboard not active

I got exactly this case too off Ebay, $5.99. Slides on great, feels solid. Unfortunately it impedes the keyboard sliding smoothly out, and

makes it sometimes kinda... jam as one side slides up and the other doesnt.

Worse, it seems it messes with the keyboard-open sensor and the keyboard doesnt WORK AT ALL sometimes - even tho the phone detects keyboard tray open somehow and turns it to landscape - not sure if speed of opening or it jamming a little causes confusion in the sensor. This happens once in a while maybe every 1-2 days, maybe 3. Powercycle often required to get keyboard open to allow use of kb again.

So, I had the case off because of my suspicions about this for about 3 weeks, its much nicer to use the phone without it, but dangerous in case of drop. Put the case on for 36 hrs and the keyboard problem reappeared. It's off now, and powercycling the phone has reset the keyboard.

Anyone else?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mapo01:
I own this case as I posted here and I don't have that problem with the keyboard. When you put the case on make sure all rubber clips get in place correctly. Maybe thats the problem.

Also, after a month of using the case the phone slides smoothly again. I suppose that the friction has reduced the thickness of the clips.

Regards.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] kekehi:
Get the empire case for the Samsung captivate glide. I bought no brand name cases from ebay and amazon. The only issue with these cases is that they make the sliding realllly stiff. So stiff it feels like there's pebbles between the sliding mechanism.

When I bought the empire case, the sliding wasn't affected at all. The clips did not even break yet, when I took the case off of the generic ebay cases they break after 2nd or 3rd time.

Just bought a Black Body Glove Case and will post how it fits.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] QuickSilverAWD:
Well shiat. I just got the Body Glove case that I ordered in and its identical to the T of the cheap Ebay one that you can get. No bueno.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dbrannon79:
For those of us who don't use the physical keyboard, I may have found a otter box style case that looks to fit the glide! It's from the HTC inspire! The phone body is very close to the same size and the buttons are positioned almost the same. Think with some slight modifications it may work!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gtmaster303:
I doubt it will work, considering the inspire is a lot more curved on the back than the glide. Mind posting a link to the case you're referring to?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] iluvkhk:
Necessary?

This may sound like a dumb question, but is it really necessary to have a case for the glide? How fragile is it? I know a screen protector is a must for the touchscreen, but a case just seems to add bulk...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jevan24:
My case has saved my phone many times now. And for that i thank speck case company..... Anyways..anyone willing to share their views on the body glove for the glide??? Im willing to buy it but i want someones opinion who has tried the bodyglove case.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jevan24:
Purchased the empire case. And so far so good. My one complaint is the power button is hard to press. Other than that its good so far.

[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
YES!! Finally, we have gotten noticed!

For those who bookmarks the Nitro HD forum and infrequently visit the XDA Portal (main page), you might have missed it! We (the LG Nitro HD community) have finally been noticed and our hard works have finally been made widely known. The works of Bytecode64 on CWM 5 and Kernelpan1c with the deodexed /system partition have been posted on the main page. :D

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/cwm-and-de-odexed-system-partition-for-the-lg-nitro-hd/

That, along with kernelpan1c posting on the general forum about the Nitro HD, will surely gain us more notice from other users/members, along with devs, and more adopters of this phone will lead to better things in the future.

Congratulations to everyone here on this forum for the huge strides we have made, and my sincerest appreciation to Bytecode64, KernelPan1c, Schwin97, Malnilion, repherb, gte460z, itiskonrad, v@no, and many many others present and future for all the works you guys put into making this phone a worthwhile phone and not abandoning it for other commonly used brands! Again, together, we will make this phone an outstanding phone!! :)

I am looking for a stock kernel for my i9000 to revert to in case I need to send my phone for warranty repairs. I have found some rooted stock kernels here but there is no version for Android 2.3.3. Plus I would like to find the original unrooted kernal to have in case of problems.

Details of my kernel: i9000XWJVP (2.3.3).
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Alright, let's update this. Someone KANGed my Dialpad uploaded before. Yeah, shame... no credit given.

Single theme, made specifically and works for both Zeus v3n and v3b. But will work also on any deodexed ROM like Marvel.

The final puzzle of the port have met to terms. jasonevil owner of Ice9 Theme agreed to use his materials. I still have to resort to ICS Theme by sonnysekhon though.

If you like this theme, please appreciate their work @:

ICE9 THEME by jasonevil

ICS THEME by sonnysekhon

DOWNLOAD:

ICS TRANSPARENT - Zeus v3b/v3n

ICS BLACK - Zeus v3b/v3n

V2 (GW02) is on 2nd post.

FEATURES:

1% battery increments

Centered time and date

Custom Transparent and Black status bar (2 options)

Rearranged Toggle Icons (Sound is centered)

Custom Pull Down (backgrounds and fonts)

Custom spinners from MIUI

Some icons from MIUI

ICS blue description colors

Custom USB connect/disconnect image

Some things I might forget...

Flash it in CWM, no wipe necessary. To ensure smooth installation, remove previous theme if you have. Flash Zeus again then flash this theme.

NOTE: Didn't change Menu Background, Menu font color, Menu icons (looks awful once mixed with other app menu default icons).

NOTE: I made a mistake in the updater script, but the single package extraction directory might have been enough as it didn't cause any problems.

will add more screenshots
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
UPDATES

ICS Black GW02

Be advised that there are additional apps and .jar in the zips (mms, LGHome, android.policy.jar).

If you don't use or like them, open the zip by double clicking, right click the said app then delete.

android.policy.jar is for Marvel ROM who wants Extended Power Menu.

Credit goes to huexxx and dxdiag32 for the additions.

DOWNLOAD:

ICS_Black_Default_GW02 (Default Time Location)

ICS_Black_Centered_GW02 (Centered Time Location)

I missed framework.jar for the extended power menu in framework folder. So as an additional for Marvel users, flash this:

[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Thanks bros, and sorry for the spinner. Will update it once time permits. Or if you know how to decompile, slap some spinners you want or modify in UOT kitchen. I believe there are spinners available there. But don't use/flash UOT zip, drag and drop apk's to correct folder, zip to zip (UOT zip to ICS zip). Just a precaution. Thanks for the support. :)

Yes it is. Target is Zeus but compatible with the odexed and deodexed variants. But yeah, read OP for more info. Thanks. :)
[LG Optimus Black] pan_ataman:
would be ideal if you have contacts and SMS in the same style
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Thanks, i am considering it. But there's MMS and phone/contacts apk from chinese ICS theme. Do they look far from each other? Didn't flash that one just grabbed the battery for a test. Let me check, then let's do something about it. Since this is a port, Dialpad and MMS would be easy.

thanks again. :)
[LG Optimus Black] andrewbadge:
Really nice theme bro. But I find the icons on the status bar too far away from each other. Like there's lots of space in between them. Other than that, it's really great!
[LG Optimus Black] pan_ataman:
I can provide the modified files and Phone.apk Contacts.apk, they sold a large photo of the contact during the call.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
I see, I'll study the spacings. Thanks bro.

:D I'm on it as well. Look what I've done. This is my version. just few things left. gray squares and gray background on that two icons below and we're done. then i'm onto contacts. :)
[LG Optimus Black] pan_ataman:
ready to test:)

Your version will be a great photo of the contact?
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
You want a custom image for the default contact without a photo? Or the image while in-call?

Still finding those specific images. Those gray parts. It would be a stand alone flashable zip.
[LG Optimus Black] pan_ataman:

None ATM. Maybe I'll make one... or not. UOT can provide transparent status bar BTW.

Thanks bro. Will include this post in OP or 2nd post with direct reply #.

I'm venturing in a different path. I'm cooking a ROM (personal) in dsixda Kitchen while huexxx fix his Zeus. So far so good. :) I incorporated the init.d scripts (filtered) and it's booting fine.

Untweaked PowerVR and unpatched libsqlite:

I can sleep now... :D

Any chance we could use your cooked rom to? :D
[LG Optimus Black] explor3r3:
and UOT can`t implement the transparent status bar , already try`ed , i try to mod this now .... to see if it`s work , UOT change the transparent image in SistemUI.apk but to work on this theme must be replaced on framework.apk

and yes it`s work with the transparent one , replaced from (ICS Black GW02 UOT modded) SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/status_bar_background.png with framework.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/status_bar_background.png , and yes it work , thanks gabwerkz
[LG Optimus Black] interdan:
gabwerkz,thanks again for your update.

In ICS Black GW02 there are many beautiful things such as LG and lookscreen home, and don't know how to do without it now;)

In any case I think that you can improve something in the colors of text messages, maybe you can change something in the combination of colors, especially white lettering on a light background is not very convincing to me.

Probably is a matter of taste, but i want share it with you and the community :D thanks again.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
If I found an improvement in battery consumption I would. :) I'm done with performance via decompiling boot.img + a stricter Low Memory Killer (lowmem-strict), so I'm targeting the battery. And a modified init.d support (insertion of lines) in init.rc and a .sh in sbin folder. I have no ways to modify the unpacked zimage (kernel) though. If no battery improvement, I might as well stick to Zeus. :p

Told you... :) I use UOT for transparent status bar too. Then I just slap/replace a modified transparent image that I like.

I see. This is the white font color of the message in the bubbles?
[LG Optimus Black] Zaihanzainal:
Yup I feel the same abt this, was about to try mod it myself but realised currently if I were to try to do it now I might end up taking an eternity hee
