You can't can you? The launcher overlaps some default transitions. Unless the launcher has a setting to use default animations.

Sent from my marvel.
[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
the transitions were from previous launcher that you used am i right ? i guess you have to find them in lp and change to that you used before ... ?
[HTC Wildfire S] danielstar13:
No, I mean, when I use the stock ADW.Launcher, for example from desktop going to messaging through pressing an icon, the transition is ICS-like. but when I use LauncherPro, the transition is not ICS-ish.

I guess it's on the launcher. But I really want LauncherPro and I like the transitions too. So sad for me hahah thank you!
[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
well, it's the launcher features ... :/ i guess you won't sacrifice yourself using 2 launchers just because of the transitions... lol

why dont you try adw launcher ex (its paid ..) and has a lot of nice transitions :)
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
So I have rooted for the first time, I flashed a ROM.

ok so i don't notice much difference.

So I'm guessing maybe its just the ROM I am using, I wont mention it by name as I'm sure the dev. Put alot of time and effort to create it and its just not what I'm looking for.

Other than speeding up the performance a little, what was the root suposed to do?

And

from what I can see ( and I'm not very experienced in this stuff, I'm learning ) most Roms are just stock with stuff riped out. What else is possible? I wanted to set myself apart from my stock user friends.
[Acer Iconia A500] rrroach:
Why did you do it if you didn't already know the answer? Anyways, you can overclock, undervolt, have ROMs like MIUI and CM7, free wifi tethering, and more stuff.
[Acer Iconia A500] ibawanzingee:
You probably shouldn't have rooted if you didn't know what you were doing. As they always say, "If you have to ask what rooting IS, you probably shouldn't be looking up how to do it yet."
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
ok maybe I worded that wrong. Yes I know that I can overclock, Already done. And I have a rom on it. I guess what I'm asking is what diffferent roms have to offer.

I'm just learning and don't completely under stand all the technical stuff and the slang. They all basicly say the same thing. Faster and longer battery.
[Acer Iconia A500] ibawanzingee:
It really comes down to customization. A big one is boot times being much faster - this really seems popular, which I obviously understand. Some people compress all of the apps so the ROMs can really get down to like 200MB and the ROM is usually much better on memory in these cases. Another huge thing is custom kernels (overclocking) and being able to remove unwanted bloatware with system applications. There's apps on the market that only work on rooted devices, such as custom recovery which allows you to take a backup and then restore in the event you screw something up and get boot loops, and apps like cachemate and one of my new favs, the Reboot.apk. It's really limitless. Oh yeah, you can also customize font colors and notification colors, battery (and other) icons, messing with the build.prop, you are able to change certain behaviors of the phone/tablet, and with TrevE's apps, you can find out if your phone/tablet is spying on you. I recently deleted a lot of logs and made those files and folders read only so no more logs could be made. And finally, you customize your boot animation, which is really cool.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
Thank you that's what I'm looking for.

So if I wanted to say change some icons, ist the same as flashing the rom? Can I download icons and install the same way? I'm Not ready to make my own or anything lol
[Acer Iconia A500] ibawanzingee:
Well, you can download full icon packs on the Market. Some are paid, some are free. There are other applications like "BetterCut" or something like that that allow you to change the icons. I'm not sure if you need a custom launcher to do that though, as I've always changed my icons inside of a custom launcher like Panda Home. Panda Home actually has a built in custom icon changer! Not sure if it's compatible with the tablet though, but I know ADW is. Good luck!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Perhaps, you should just flash back to a stock acer rom.

But before you do, take a good benchmark on your battery life.

Then flash back.

Sometimes, rooting is just not for everybody.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
Ok one more question.

I have done a full back up, if i want to try a different rom, i flash the same way. If i dont like it i can restore using the backup i made and everything goes back to how it is now? Including how my home screen is now and widgets?

Thank you everyone!
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Yes if you did the backup inside of cwm.. I used this feature alot when i was messing with the UI Of my tablet.. NOW all my icons text boarders all match the nice burgundy color case i have my tablet in

I Would try to restore your backup to be sure it does restore before flashing a new rom..

just make sure you fallow all instructions by the Rom Developer.Doing this and you should be fine..

If you brick your tablet you can Blame me .......

Happy Flashing...... STOCK IS BORING.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
Ok great thank you

Just to be clear, i hate to asume but cwm is clockwork mod right?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Generally, this is correct.

Each Rom cook usually posts the procedures needed to install their rom. Usually, game data, downloaded files and such, is saved. Usually, but not always. Things on the ext sd card are not effected by this process. Usually the procedures are the same. Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache. Sometimes we like to throw in some formats. Especially with the newer roms.

Your full system recovery, should be done through your CWM recovery or RA Recovery, whichever you use, and NOT using an internal application. And this should be done before you install a rom. It will save your current system, widgets, etc, so your system is just like it was before you installed a different rom.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackjack54:
hey guys i have a captivate that i tried flashing and was successful then i tried again and the screen went black. im not sure if my battery died during the process or what but idk what to do. I cant get into recovery mode, i can only get into downloading mode but none of the odin's ive downloaded have recognized my device today. they worked fine yesterday. then i tried "hemidall one click" to try and get it back to stock but no luck. also when i try to power on I get the "Cornkernel" loading screen since that was the kernel i had loaded when it was working, but it fills the bar then shuts off. so it seems like im going to be at the mercy of a computer program since i am unable to access anything on the phone, right? I recently upgraded to gingerbread before all of the flashing of the new roms. all i want is to get back to either froyo or gingerbread, i dont really care, heck ill even take 2.1 at this point. if anyone knows whats going on and can help me thatd be great.

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Remember to use a rear usb hub for destop and run as admin. Heimdall will mess up your odin drivers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
You may also want to check out the captivate connection issues thread.

Also, to clarify further on prbassplayer's point about Heimdall, it will write its drivers over the drivers assigned to the USB port you are plugged into when it detects your phone. So if you have 4 USB ports and you use port 3 for Heimdall, it would look like this:

1 - Odin port

2 - Odin port

3 - Heimdall port

4 - Odin port

All this means is that you'll need to be aware of the port you used with Heimdall, or just reinstall the odin drivers (they'll overwrite the Heimdall setup).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackjack54:
OK so i tried what you mentioned in that thread on the connection issue and unfortunately it didn't work. is there a way i could start fresh? like delete all the drivers from my computer and then try it again, or do u not think that would work? im open to any ideas/suggestions right now because i hate having an extra paperweight and the thought of buying a new phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NamDark:
Don't know if this'll help or even why it worked for me but, when I had problems with odin recognizing my phone, I reinstalled/repaired samsung kies and odin would work for at least one flash.

Note: used full odin (not oneclick)

Good luck
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackjack54:
hey guys thanks a bunch i finally got it to work. i had to use a different computer like you said. What a great feeling to have a functional phone again..

Thanks Again!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackjack54:
So i got the phone back up and running android 2.1 and I would like to get it back to the stock 2.3 I had before the whole mess of rooting and stuff. but when i try to upgrade with kies or straight on the phone it ends up failing and telling me to try it again. any ideas why this is happening? or how to fix it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayRokk:
Kies sucks lol

look at my sig the first "go to" has the One Click Odin file to get you to stock and rooted 2.3 ...should take no more then 5 mins to do it :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackjack54:
the link on that page for the 1 click odin doesnt work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Try looking >>HERE<<. There are more one clicks there than you will ever need (hopefully)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackjack54:
Thanks I think I might try one of those. But considering what happened earlier in the week i want to clarify/ask a few ?s about that page. How do I know which Gingerbread to use of the 3 listed? How do I know whether or not to click the one with or without the bootloader? I'm new at this with android but I used to flash roms on my old windows mobile htc TILT.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
if you have never flashed GB bootloaders, you need to. Just oonce will work from that time forward. After you flash bootloaders, it's best to avoid them. A bad bootloader flash is one of the few things that will turn a Captivate into a paperwight. About which GB to use, I would say KK4. Its the same as the Official KK4 that was released. So to recap, flash bootloaders only once, then use no bootloader packages after that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackjack54:
Im not sure if I unlocked them or not honestly. I know i had the phone rooted at one point and was running Cerberus rom. is there any way for me to check?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
If you don't know, flash them.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackjack54:
ok i apologize in advance if this is a stupid obvious question..i got the odin one click and i was looking at the page u referred to me to and im wondering what the kernel is for? you cant place it in the odin one click obviously so is that just to keep things together or do i actually need it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
The kernel links are just to use if you want to root the stock rom. You have to use full Odin for those. Stick with the one click until you feel more comfortable in flashing AND do a lot research before your next flash.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackjack54:
so i got the KK1 gingerbread working and everything seems to work fine but now my data doesnt work. So I cant get ATT 3g or edge or anything the only internet i recieve is wifi. anyone know why this is? or how to fix it. ive tried a reboot and nothing ive tried changing the settings under network settings.
[Droid X General] Skyroket:
Got this phone from a friend. She already upgraded to iPhone so this is like a trash or free phone (I will take maximum risk to fix it). There was some moisture under the LCD glass. Put it in a bag of rice for 4 days while the new battery was on its way. That seemed to fix the moisture under the glass, so I'm assuming it fixed any other moisture.

I can get to bootloader (30.04) and the SBF using RSDLite (tried 5.3 and 5.5) appears to go through just fine. Have tried 602.sbf, VRZ_MB810_2.3.32_1FF_01.sbf, and VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.sbf.

Stuck on red M logo. Have tried different ways to get into recovery like holding down Home key or holding down camera key. Nothing I do can get it into recovery so I can wipe and get past this red M.

Should I try some other method I've heard of with Ubuntu and some SBF-flash application?
[Droid X General] FluffyMittens:
Hold power and home key until it goes to bootloader, do a wipe data/cache of factory restore.
[Droid X General] Skyroket:
I think you've got your terminology mixed up. Bootloader is the mode that comes up by pressing both volume keys while powering on. This is where you flash stuff through RSDLite or use adb server to push and do hacker stuff.

Recovery is the phase where you can do factory wipes and data formatting. I can't get into recovery.

When you flash an SBF, it should be flashing a new recovery. I think the phone is hosed.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
If wiping data doesn't help, do an SBF
[Droid X General] Skyroket:
You've got to be ****ing kidding me.
[Droid X General] FluffyMittens:
Haha, I'm sorry, my kid was crawling all over me when I was writing that. What have you done so far?

Edit: Possibly try this, same thing just through ADB.
[Droid X General] Skyroket:
ADB isn't working. I don't think ADB works in bootloader.

You ask me what I have done so far, but I already put all that information in the OP. That is why I was so frustrated with that second guy. If you guys would take time and not skim over my post that I actually thought out and typed ****, you wouldn't have to waste your time asking me what I have done.

I appreciate the ADB suggestion.
[Droid X General] FluffyMittens:
Just trying to collect some information. I'm someone that doesn't let a phone just be deemed as bricked. How charged is the battery?

-Edit: Just checked, ADB doesn't work in bootloader. Confirmed by having RSD open and making sure it sees it, and then tried adb devices. Also as a supporting confirmation for the fun of it, ran the one click root.

-Edit: Further thinking about it, was this phone submerged in water or just had moisture in there? There could just be some minerals formed up on the board that a toothbrush would get rid of. I've fixed phones a dozen times. Some phones will turn on and get stuck. Some wont turn on. Some the backlight comes on but no video signal.
[Droid X General] sekine12:
Deoxit

My guess is that the buttons aren't working. There's no way to test that since you can only get to the bootloader, but if you can successfully SBF the phone the odds of any of the solid state gear being bad are pretty low. It does seem odd though that you can't make it to the boot animation and get stuck at the boot logo.

I would suggest getting some deoxit (tv tuner cleaner) and spraying it in around the hardkeys on the bottom of the phone. You don't need too much (especially since it might end up behind the screen). Spray that in there and then work the buttons a few dozen times. That should loosen up any corrosion on the switches and let them close the circuit again. If that doesn't do it, I'm out of ideas, but at least you'll have some deoxit lying around (stuff is great for static-y radio/stereo volume control knobs, etc).
[Droid X General] Skyroket:
The battery is pretty well charged. When I got it in the mail, there was no charge. I cut a USB cable and hooked it up to power. After about 2 minutes, I tried it. It got to bootloader but said battery was too low. I used the cut USB cable and hooked it around the battery pins in the phone and put the battery in, so it charged it at the same time it was tricking the phone into thinking the battery was full.

Also, if you go into Bootloader and then power off the phone, the green LED comes on. I'm assuming that means it's charging? I was skeptical since all we hear is that you're ****ed if your battery runs out at this stage of the game. It was off this morning and had been plugged in with the green LED all night (no USB cable hack).

As for trying adb while RSDLite is open, no go. adb devices shows blank. Motorola OneClick root didn't work either. It just sat there waiting for my phone. I didn't have the balls to plug in my Bionic to see if Motorola OneClick would work (and therefore the problem is with the Droid X).

As for the water damage, who knows. The lady I got it from was surprised when I told her there was moisture under the screen. I'm not her mommy so she didn't have any reason to withhold information from me. I just thought a bag of rice, a $12 battery off Newegg (free shipping, too), might just get me a sellable Droid X out of the deal.

As for the hardware buttons - they feel like they're clicking, but I know that obviously isn't the 100% test whether they're functioning properly or not. The volume buttons and power button obviously do function, since I can use those to get into BL.

Another brain jog idea: Is there an SBF out there that wipes the data and cache, along with all the other **** it puts on? This probably won't work because I still should be able to get into Recovery - something is FUBAR.

Please give up if you feel like giving up. Bricks exist. This may very well be one of them.

P.S. The girl that gave me this dropped her new iPhone 3 days into ownership. It only cracked the back glass, but the point still remains: she may not be the most graceful phone owner on the planet. Who knows what this DX has been through.

Thanks for all your help, guys.
[Droid X General] FluffyMittens:
I would try cracking that thing open and seeing if there are any mineral deposits and cleaning them. This means those weird clips and stuff too, just take a toothbrush to the whole thing and see where that gets you.

As with giving up, I'm a pretty bored guy and finding something to do is better then sitting around and watching Star Trek.

I haven't lost a phone once :-)

Edit: Except for this !@*% of an ACN voip phone that I buffer overflowed in attempt to gain root.. That ended badly.
[Droid X General] xsurferx:
Same problem

I had the same problem with my dx trying to sbf to .602 I ended up flashing the stock stock froyo sbf and upgrading to gingerbread by rooting and flashing CM7 or any other gingerbread rom. You didn't specify whether or not you tried froyo sbf. No idea if this will work for you but its worth a shot if you haven't already tried it. I also had to use RSD lite 4.9 or 4.8 to get the sbf file to work right.
[Droid X General] jspradling7:
I'd like to toss my problem into this thread if it's alright. The OP is the closest description to my situation I've read. A co-worker brought his phone to me and it would only get to the round red logo and stop there. No bootloop just a freeze at the red logo.

I tried different ways to get to recovery but was only able to get it to the white bootloader screen. (30.04) So I flashed .340 using RSD and it completes and tells me to manually start the phone. But the phone is already at a white logo (not a red one). I do a battery pull to restart the phone and I still can't get the phone to a recovery by holding down home or any other key while powering on. Battery charge is near full.

The owners explanation of how the phone got this way is that he woke up one morning and there was a 'protection mode' transparency on the screen so he rebooted and had the red logo from then on.

So, I can RSD flash just fine but the phone won't get past the black screen with the white and black M logo.

I would try flashing other files or even the Linux CD option but I can't find anything downloadable since mega got shut down.

Any advice would be appreciated.
[Droid X General] NType3:
Flash the latest rom (Gingerbread, .605) and the red logo will appear. Then, assuming it gets to the droid x loading eye, battery pull and enter recovery.

You can enter recovery by holding power and home, then, once the red/white M shows up, release the power button. Once the triangle appears, press the vol. up and down buttons simultaneously. If that doesn't work, press a bunch of random buttons until the recovery screen comes up. I'm not kidding, it works.

From this menu, scroll with the volume keys, and select with the power button. Wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition. Reboot, and you should be good to go.
[Droid X General] jspradling7:
1. Would be happy to try .602. Do you know of a working link?

2. It never gets to the eye.

Edit... I found a 602 iso to make a CD boot disk from and used that. The install went perfect but the phone still just boots to a red M logo and freezes there. It doesn't get to the red eye and no button press combo can get it to the recovery screen. I can only get it to the bootloader or let it go to the red logo. The buttons don't feel sticky or anything and the batt is fully charged.

I have a friend with a P7510 wifi edition tablet whose charge/data USB port only charges the tablet. It used to charge AND allow him to move data back and forth to PC or usb stick (with USB dongle) but ONLY charging works now.

Odin doesn't recognize the tablet, connecting it via usb to a computer plays the sound but the tablet is not recognized in windows at all. It is running stock TW. In addition, his tablet has on that broken version of firmware that Samsung pushed out several months ago that messed up screen rotation and Wifi.

Is there anyway to get him onto a new ROM and/or to fix his bootloader?
