I asked this earlier:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1469583

However, will the 605 ruu downgrade work with the new bootloader/radio combo even if you hex edit?

If not, then we would need an official RUU for the OTA, right?

everything is so much easier with s-off. even though it was kind of htc to allow unlocking, they could have done it in a better way. all those kernal flashes, and boot.img stuff is frustrating when coming from a dinc and it was easy then
[HTC Wildfire S] johnnyspritz:
The black background of HTC's Sense looks really lo-tech to me, like they're not even trying to make it look decent. In my opinion, they could have at least given it a gradient layer.

Anywho, is there a way to get a transparent app drawer background without changing launchers? I've really grown to like Sense GUI and all it's useful little widgets :)

If this isn't possible, can the app drawer background at least be changed to a custom image of some sort? Or as a more general question, can the drawer be altered in any other way, shape, or form, besides the column/row number?
[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
you can change your theme, by using uot kitchen, just change the part you like , in your case transparency under options...

here is a link : http://uot.dakra.lt/
[HTC Wildfire S] johnnyspritz:
I don't know. I've used UOT Kitchen before, but I've never come across any such option. Would you, or anyone else, mind telling me which tab to look under?
[HTC Wildfire S] Henry_01:
Tried it in my rom, but it didnt work.

You need to decompile rosie.apk and change colors in xml files.

Custom images not possible.

Google it on xda forum.
[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
look under statusbar, then background...choose colour, and percent, and thats it...
[HTC Wildfire S] johnnyspritz:
Oh, well. I guess I can live with a black app drawer then :( I'd have tried doing that, but since a more experienced person couldn't do it, I don't see why I should bother with it.

@b02

You misunderstood, I meant the app drawer, not the pull-down status bar, but thanks for the reply =]
[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
well, you could be changing launcher i guess... better than messing with anything other ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] m1ndh4x8r:
Ive made a transparent app drawer but didnt release it. cause it looks better in black. in transparent app drawer you always see the wall paper even in pesonalize. you ca also on icons cannot see clearly. n pm me if you want I will make if I have time.

4x5 or 4x4?
[HTC Wildfire S] Ligeia:
please make 4 x 4

can i request a 4x4 paginated semi transparent app drawer please

with semi transparent status bar.

thank you.

i like the one in here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21115614&postcount=1 it's just that it's 4x5.

i cannot post to that thread...low post count.

thanks!
[HTC Wildfire S] The Android Manual:
You could go launcher ex it has that option to change the app drawer background :D:)
[HTC Wildfire S] AceRoom:
If you use Go Launcher, you lose the Sense widgets which is considered by many to be one of Sense's biggest features... And the OP mentioned that he liked the widgets.

And this thread was ages old! :P

My phone is a fascinate running miui, when I try to wifi tether to my xoom I can see they are both working correctly but the tablet just hangs as it attempts to gain ip addy. I have wifi settings off while trying this.......also tried pairing through Bluetooth and the phone and tab pair but won't connect?

New to tethering and going crazy lol.

If I connect to my house wifi it picks it up instantly.

My xoom is wifi only and running stock unrooted ics.

Thanks for any help

Have you tried tethering via a Market app - rather than the MIUI baked in?

WIFI Tether for Root
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave_k605:
Yes, both the baked in and apps have 0 issue sending out signal, the Xoom just won't obtain IP, it shows the devices that it's trying to connect too, just hands there though

I can not get into Yellow download window so heimdall does not see samsung tab 7 SCH-I800. I get this weird Pic. of a( Phone ! and PC.)

Is there anyway to rebuild Boot loader with ADB or force heimdall files with another program? I cant find any files to put this back to stock anywhere all the ways i see use Heimdall.
[Galaxy Tab General] ableeker:
This means the Tab has problems starting, but it's not bricked! This is one of the download screens, and it means the Tab can still be flashed. Heimdall and Odin should still recognize it. Check the drivers on your PC if they don't.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adirtymonkey:
Bit of a tricky one this…

I’m on a Darky 4.1JVT 2.6.35.7 Ficeto and have been for months without major issues. I’m on Vodafone UK with my Galaxy S.

My average data use per month is about 600mb, I’m not a stream addict nor a mobile YouTube user but last week at 6am on Monday my phone either up or downloaded .9Gb of data, two hours later it did it again, exactly the same amount and again in two hours. In all a bit under 3Gb in 4 hours. I was in bed at 6am and off work that day. To the best of my knowledge my phone was doing nothing other than it normally does, sit there, poll emails and ring. It’s not happened before and todate it’s happened again. Have locked the gate now after the event by using Watchdog and others 3g monitoring apps.

Has anyone else spotted a one off massive data movement?

Using Watchdog and PhoneUsage I've found that SEESMIC for Android, despite background updates not being enabled has been the cause. Today I caught it doing another 1Gb via wireless this time. Time to ask Seesmic for my bill to be paid.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ottili81:
What does Watchdog say about the massive data consumption? have u been able to figure out, which app is reasonable for that?

Another good app to show would be radioopt widget from the market.

If u find out, let me know...another option is, to freeze the mean app with titanium backup.

Do u use a GPS app on ur phone? May be its trying to download new maps in the background?!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adirtymonkey:
Many thanks for replying, I only put Watchdog on after it happened to see if it would happen again. I've spoken to Vodafone UK but they say they cannot say where it was going to or came from. However they did say they have had an increase if unaccounted for data issues with Android & iOS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ottili81:
so u still dont know if this is a provider or an android-issue?! If this will happen again, let me know!

I recommended you the radioopt widget...this is just the developer. The one that i meant is called Traffic Monitor, which is more battery saving than Watchdog. You can find it here

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.radioopt.widget&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yYWRpb29wdC53aWRnZXQiXQ..

[Acer Iconia A500] anitree:
hey guys i am an absolute noob at all this stuff, but im a uni student with an a500. It really annoys me that each note taking app just lacks in different ways, but none of them are capable for solid note taking for lectures. Im looking for 'MS word' which for obvious reasons will not pop up on android anytime soon, so i was wondering if i could somehow get windows running on the iconia tab. Im not asking for a dual boot or anything, just like a virtual machine or something, but again, i don't want something like splashtop remoted desktop client or anything, because then i might aswell just use my computer. My tablet is on 3.2.1, so if i have to root it, please tell me that aswell. I downloaded VMware view from the market, but have NO idea whatsoever how to get things running. Please tell me if it is another desktop streamer, because thats not what i wanted at all. If it isnt, then could someone please tell me how to use it?

thankyou
[Acer Iconia A500] colonel187:
check out splash top in the market. It's cheaper on Amazon app store. You can remote connect to windows even over the internet. If you have wifi at school. Fast enough to stream and play computer games on the tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Wow, you didn't read his post at all, did you? He clearly said NO splashtop or such.

As for the OP: no, you cannot run Windows on A500 in any meaningful way. Emulating a complete different architechture would simply bring the tablet down to a crawl. Vmware view afaikis for use with vmware server, btw.
[Acer Iconia A500] karlkarloff:
This isn't really an answer to your specific question, but have you tried Freenote from the market? It works pretty well for me, and allows for both typing and freehand writing with a stylus. A bit cumbersome until you get used to it, but after messing with it for a bit, I manage a pretty damn fast freehand writing speed with it.

As far as Windows goes, its like WereCatf said...not a thing available that would do what you want. At least not that I can find.
[Acer Iconia A500] jon-.-:
You can't run windows, but you could use supernote, that's what I use.

It's laying around this forum, just do a search.
[Acer Iconia A500] colonel187:
I must have missed that. Thanks for being an ass hole about it.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
You're wholly welcome.
[Acer Iconia A500] davanw:
VMWare View is not what you are looking for.

View is merely a client to connect and deliver virtual machines from a pre-existing VMWare ESX / vSphere / vCenter setup... which is thousands of dollars in infrastructure and licensing.
[Acer Iconia A500] haag498:
The 'next best thing' so to speak would be to run Linux (debian) in a chroot (which is basically a very crude form of virtualization, requiring the two OSes to be similar enough to run on the same kernel)... To run Windoze on a simulated x86 CPU, qemu should work but it'll probably be way too slow (it's slow enough running Android ARM on my 2x2.2GHz machine with hardware virtualization support -- which Tegra doesn't have).

EDIT: The best way to get Linux chroot is to use Linux Installer from the market. Many tutorials on the web tell don't tell you about that, unfortunately.
[Acer Iconia A500] icepack:
getting an emulator onto the tablet would waste battery life like crazy.. i see no benefit to running virtualized desktop from the tablet for note taking purposes.

what about just an MS office-like app... OfficeSuite Pro does the job for me with note taking...

it syncs up with google docs / box / and dropbox accounts. paired with my bluetooth keyboard and usb mouse i never have issues taking notes.
[Acer Iconia A500] nstong:
First as has already been pointed out emulating windows in order to just take notes is rather stoopid. There are many apps that will let you make and edit word documents quite well. Secondly if you want to do windows things on your tablet, dolphin (or other remote desktop) is the way to go. Hell vmware view is a remote desktop where you are only using a portion of the server. With fast wifi Dolphin is really really nice.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave_Vader:
Edit:

i have successfully flashed the new radio via the adb. seems that the android flasher was the problem. thanks and this thread can be closed/deleted or whatever you do with outdated threads ;)

Hello xda community.

I am a noob on xda-developers and i hope, i am not asking a too obvious question, but i didn't find helpful posts regarding problems with android flasher.

Yesterday i followed the noob guide to flash Revolution v3.0 data++ version.

I used revolutionary to s-off and installed superuser via recovery.

I did a Nandroid Backup, just to make sure.

I then used Android Flasher 2.2.0.5 to install the CM7r2 hboot and afterwards flashed the Revolution v3.0 ROM.

Everything worked fine, my apps and contacts got restored via titanium backup, but since (even on stock rom) i have been having issues with my wifi, i decided to upgrade to a new Radio version (from 5.11.05.27 to 5.17.05.23).

And here is the problem:

I started Android Flasher, which first didn't recognize the phone, but then started flashing with this message:

"error: device not found

< waiting for device >

security: off

finished. total time: 0.001s

"

Now my phone is stuck (as we speak right now) not responding on the fastboot screen, with a loading bar in the top right corner that is nearly full. Trying to press finish on the Android Flasher has given me no response (although the program seems to still respond).

After reading in the forums, that flashing the radio is a crucial part of the phone and it screwing up might brick it, i want to be very careful and not unplug my phone or try to force Android Flasher to close.

So the qestion is: What should i do? Is there any way to get Android Flasher to finish the process, or find out what the current status is?

I have attached a picture of the Android Flasher window as it is right now. I won't shut down my phone or my computer, being scared of the risks involved. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
I guess you can click "Finish" on the GUI to see if it closes properly. I'm a bit more worried about what happens when you do a battery pull on your phone though. Although the GUI said that device wasn't detected making me think that nothing was flashed, the fact that fastboot loading bar appeared makes me think otherwise.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave_Vader:
I did try and click finish on the GUI but onfortunately with no result. I can copy the log, but finishing doesn't seem to work...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
I honestly don't know what to tell you. You may have to force Android Flasher to close then a battery pull on your phone and hope nothing gets corrupted during the process. I think you don't have any other choice on the matter.

Try to wait for other people to give you some input on this since I never experienced this kings of issue when using Android Flasher.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave_Vader:
Thank you very much, that's what i was afraid of... I'll wait and hope someone comes up with a solution, at least it's no: "you were to stupid to use the search function" question ;)

edit:

After installing android debug bridge and finding the phone was not connected to the pc anymore, i decided to pull the usb cable which restored full functionality to the phone. It just seems now, that Android Flasher is not working at all anymore...

I will try another way to flash the radio, thank you stankyou for the quick and helpful reply

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] projekt1:
The rooting process went smooth by following a few different threads (all about the same thing really).

I used "Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Rooted System Package with Modem using Odin3 One-Click Downloader" then "Install a customized kernel containing ClockworkMod Recovery onto your Rooted phone from your phone, using Mobile Odin Lite or Mobile"

I then flashed "SiyahKernel v2.6.11" kernal using Odin. Once I went into recovery mode I followed everything here. Problem is that it wasn't ClockworkMod Recovery that I was in it was actually "Siyah Kernel Recovery by AF974". I still followed all the steps on how to install the ICScrewD Rom but it never boots up. It just stays on the "Samsung Galaxy SII" screen.

I have tried the same procedure 5 times but no luck. Since I'm a noob I dont know what else to do. I have searched but have not found a solution. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
Siyah Kernel 2.6.11 introduced a new recovery(Red Pill) that you saw. It does the same thing CWM does but its just a different layout/menu's.

How long did you wait? It can take a while for first boot? You wipe data/factory reset?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] projekt1:
Thanks for the fast reply. So using the volume + volume - and power button all at once to get me to the Siyah recovery menu is same as CWM method correct? I waited about ten minutes while it was on that screen. I'm still in that process of waiting. I'll pull the battery then do it all over. Yes I did all these:

"[1] Download ICScrewD_ROM_1.X.X-full.zip and place it on your SD card.

[2] Boot into Recovery

[3] Wipe data/factory reset

[4] Wipe cache partition (+1-4 below)

[5] Goto advanced

[6] Wipe dalvik cache

[7] Install ICScrewD_ROM_1.X.X-full.zip

[8] Boot up phone

If you experience boot loops add these steps after step 4 above:

[1] Goto mounts

[2] Format data

[3] Format cache

[4] Format system]

Is a typical boot longer than 10 minutes? If so about how long? If thats not typical, what can I start looking into?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
Yes 3 button combo will get you to recovery same way.

10 Minutes seems long! Try flashing Entropys kernel, which has CWM, and flash rom from there, if it works then maybe there was some issue with Siyah recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] projekt1:
How do I do that with the phone like this? I'm a noob so please bear with me:o

Is there something that I probably did wrong?

Edit: I was able to get into Odin and reflash Entropys kernel like you suggested. I reflashed the Siyah kernel as well. Now Im going to try to flash the ICScreweD rom.

Edit2: Nope didnt work again. It would just sit on the Samsung boot screen (blank/black screen). Flashed back to Entropys kernel now going to try ICSreweD straight from there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Boobie Watcher:
You didn't have to flash siyah again, you can just flash ICScrewed from entropys kernel as long as it has CWM (which it does)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] projekt1:
That my next step. Thank you.

So there just might be something not allowing the Siyah kernal (v2.6.11)to work with the ICSreweD rom (...RainingRed... v2.0.1)

Edit: When we talk about Entropys kernal we are talking about this one here (I'm using the 2c method) correct? If so, when I go to recovery it gets me into Android system recovery <3e> not CWM.

Or do I have to flash an actual kernal from Entropy?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Just flash a rooted kernel and live with the yellow triangle its the easiest way
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] projekt1:
Oh ok so that must be my problem. "Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to stock, Kernel + Rooted System Package using Odin"" method to avoid the "Flash Counter" is incompatible with ICScreweD Rom for whatever reason. For you Dev's, is the solution easily fixed or does it become a difficult process to decipher the holdup?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] projekt1:
I think I figured out my problem. All this time I have been trying to flash both the Kernel (zImage) and ROM(.zip) from my external SD card so I put them both in the internal SD and BAM! Problem solved:D:D. I also used the Blue version of ICScreweD but that shouldn't matter with switching to the Red or any Rom for that matter.

Thanks for everybodys help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] projekt1:
Udpate.

After running TiBu, installing a few apps from the market and just general customizing I rebooted the phone only to come back to an annoying "com.android.phone has stopped" message that wouldn't go away. I think running TiBu was what caused the problem.

So I did the wipe's and flashed the ROM again but no go. Sometimes it would boot but it would have the same error message, other times it wouldn't boot at all. On one occasion, I don't know what happened but it was my stock ROM look, it had the apps and screens where they were before I rooted. Thats was weird, kinda like a ghost even though I wiped a million times.

So what I ended up doing this time was I flashed the Blue ICScreweD Rom instead of the Red one and it worked like a charm the first time.

One question I had was, why am I getting into CWM instead of the Siyah RedPill? When I first went into recovery mode after flashing Siyah, it did take me to the RedPill recovery screen but every time after that it has been through CWM.

BTW, for any noob's like myself, I'm still on the 2c method of root, the one that doesn't cause the Flash Counter to operate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcracken:
You dun f*cked.

Flash back to Entropy's Daily Driver, Siyah is not compatible with ICScrewed, probably why you've had so many problems. I'm guessing that right now you have Entropy's Daily Driver, since you're getting CWM instead of RedPill. You flashed ICScrewed after flashing Siyah, am I correct>
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] projekt1:
Oh snap! To answer your question I took a screen shot. Im currently on Siyah with ICScreweD. No problems yet. I think it was that I was restoring my apps through TiBu with data instead of restoring missing apps with data. Please let me know if I did fu$k up though and what I can do to fix it..

ICScrewD is compatible with, and in fact includes, Siyah after version 2.0.
