[Android Apps and Games] singular9:
I made a lust if launchers that can run on any device. Apex is 4.0 plus. Sslauncher, to complicated.
[Android Apps and Games] PaulsX091:
This! +1. best launcher I used. So many options! You can make it look good if you take the time to learn.
[Android Apps and Games] Nucleotide:
Nova.

I tried Apex but found it a little laggy and slow. Ended up removing it and sticking with Nova. I paid for Nova as well so Apex would have had to have been something amazing to make me switch anyway - and it wasn't. It was Nova with one or two extra options which I can live without anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] singular9:
That's still 4.0+, I'm talking 1.6+
[Android Apps and Games] singular9:
I stoill like the stock froyo launcher. Its simple with style. If u want to get it u have to go to my signiture, i have a link.

Hi

I have a sensation s-off, root, with ext4 touch recovery but I cant load a custom rom.

I have try miui, sense 4.0, insert coin but all of them go to boot loops after the second HTC screen (HTC quit brilliant). I try cyanogend mod 7, it boots up but as soon i touch the screen boot again.

Any suggestions? thanks

[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] bilgerryan:
It's hard to find a good case for a slide phone, mostare junk and break within a week. I bought this on Amazon for less than $5, it was an open package return. (you probably won't find it for this price) But it is definitely worth so much more.. I tried everything else including Otterbox and this is the longest lasting case I've had. And the holster is even better, it is made for a phone in a case and the spring clip is awesome I haven't had the phone come out of it yet. If your having problems finding a good case and holster I recommend both of these, you can find them together and separate. I am pretty sure there is a holster that is made for the Shift without the case too. My case is starting to wear down now (too many battery pulls maybe) but it has still lasted 3 times longer than the Otterbox.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Stevenrogers_420:
Wouldnt this be more appropriate in the accessories thread?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SmittyRN:
I thought about that, but it also involves themes and apps, so I wasn't sure just where to put it. If Red5 thinks it should be moved to a different area, I've got no problem with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
Uh, it does have an app, but its mostly for an accessory, so I think Accessories is wher this needs to go. Moved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] FireRaider:
I am going to follow this thread with interest. I run CarHome Ultra and like it. But I wonder why there aren't many alternatives? I am very interested to see what others may have decided to use.

I use the Samsung car dock and I think its worth every penny. I used the Samsung dock for my Captivate and it was a little better but the GSII dock is pretty good too. Better than the hokey clamp style alternatives.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SmittyRN:
Thanks, I couldn't decide on the proper spot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SmittyRN:
If I weren't using a case on the phone, I'd be using the Samsung dock, no question about it. I hate the clamp style alternatives too, that's what I like about the SlipGrip. I wish there was a way to put the microUSB dock on it like the Samsungs, but the phone locks in sideways, not bottom to top like the Sammy.

What would be nice would be if they made an microUSB adapter that had an audio out and still allowed for charging, much like what LGSilva created in this thread (which oddly, still resides in the General section) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321491 Good job on LGSilvas part for coming up with that method! It should be a must for anyone who doesn't have a bluetooth connection.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MaxRabbit:
I have my Prius hooked up with the Blackberry Bluetooth Stereo Gateway at the end of my aux-in. It works well, but I had feedback noise from the power, a known problem with the Prius. I have to run it through a ground loop isolator, which eliminates any feedback but at the expense of a little audio quality.

Any suggestion to eliminate the feedback without quality lost would be much appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raduque:
I use a universal mount bolted to my dashboard, AUX cable into the 3.5mm headphone jack and a 12v USB charger in the 12v plug on my truck's dash.

Home screen is PowerAMP. I don't call out or text while driving, and incoming calls pause PowerAMP and go right back to it after the call.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] FireRaider:
The one thing I have never figured out is how to get notification sounds over the phone while its in the cradle and bluetoothed to my vehicle.

For example, Waze or CarHome ultra. They both make noises, directions, locations, that kind of thing while they are running. But only if its not linked can I hear the sounds. Surely there is an app for that? :)

I want to leave the link to my vehicle active so my phone calls go over the stereo system, but want to hear alerts over the phone. I am pretty sure my Captivate did that. At least on some roms. Any ideas guys?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cbb77:
Here's what I use. Only cost me $25 and seems to work very well. Only negative is you have to place a magnet on the back of your phone, which I first I did not want to do, but now I have already gotten over it. So far no issues with the magnet installed. Have driven around quite a bit and no issues with the phone moving or falling off. Plan to run a cable through my vents to connect to the car stereo input.

These are the different sizes that come with the unit.

Installed on my vent.

Hi all! Since I've got more then 100 downloads in the first 2 themes I've decided to launch the 3rd one with a thread :)

These themes are made for ICS dock tho they can be used on other bases, and they are a product of some research of themes available on other places (except theme 2 my creation) with a lot of tweaks and adds made by me so they feel more complete. Except theme 1 all others were made from scratch, taking some hours in front of pc :rolleyes:

They need a bit of work to set them up but i think its not much for the result. All the step by step tutorials are in the zip files, as most of the things you need.

Since 4G doesn't have ICS, on guide skip the part that you choose on Workaround for some ap... "For Honeycomb Tablet" as this only applies to ICS

For those that don't have photoshop i uploaded the PNG files of the themes (only problem is you can't change wallpapers, icons, text, anything). Still you will be able to have the theme :)

I'm not an expert and I don't present myself as one, I just love these themes and decided to share them with you guys and hope you all enjoy them. ;)

These themes are not to FLASH!! Please read the guide

Credits:

EmixaM for theme 1

The Rubenator for inspiration on theme 3

Does this work on our devices? The samsung galaxy s 4g? It says its for 4.0.3 ice cream sandwich. We don't even have ice cream sandwich..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
im kinda lost on the Guide part. do i flash it or push files into system (which files though?)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] afcrib:
Yes it will work, the dock high is set for apex launcher thats all. Will work with any rom or android version. For example with ADW Launcher the dock could be a bit lower ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zachpozniak:
So say I wanted to use awd launcher. How would I go about using this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] afcrib:
Ok you put the PNG files in you sdcard (home.png, internet.png and so on)

When you setting up the multipicture live wallpaper you will have to pic them from the sdcard to make the theme work.

Since 4G doesn't have ICS on guide skip the part that you choose on Workaround for some ap... "For Honeycomb Tablet" as this only applies to ICS

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] afcrib:
The same way you do with apex. But on photoshop you can lower the dock height as its not need to be so high
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ReelFiles:
Wish there was a simple way to set these up, a theme installer would be dope, that way you could easily return to other setups. Love the look of all the themes, next time I try a new ROM I will try the second one.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] afcrib:
Yes i agree with you, a faster way to apply would be great but I'm not a developer and don't think there is way to do that too :(

Yes, Blue Muze (Trial) will save them as .m3u8 text files to your SD card. They appear to be standard m3u files with unicode text. No issue normally.

They can then be saved, edited, and modified as usual. I looked for a long while before tripping over this app.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] elkpojlb:
Good afternoon, this is a question of users of the wave (S8500) in Latin America for developers hope we can provide a solution to your great knowledge!.

My question is if you can adapt a AMSS.BIN bada bada 1.2 for use in 2.0?. Spend it here in latin america we do not support bada 2.0 and therefore when we installed our wave bada 2.0 do not have signs or fewer 3G signal and therefore we can not call or send messages ... You could adapt a 1.2 as I said AMSS? at least to give us a good reception signal and to call, we try to do that but we had good results from lack of knowledge, so you resorted to see if we could help with that .. I just hope that some developer is encouraged to this project since it will be helping many Latin American countries and thousands of users without enjoying bada 2.0.

I tell them I'll put my phone to test, if you accept to do the project I will go testing your Avanze if it works on my phone.

Of course many thanks to you all. please help us!

[Bada Software and Hacking General] throughtheblack:
I too would really like to see an easy way to do this. Here in Canada, we are still stuck on 1.0 because our phone providers don't give a flip about their customers and refuse to cooperate with Samsung to provide updates. I highly doubt we will ever see an official 2.0. If someone could please figure this out, you would be a hero.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] djanmarsiglia:
Instead of only modifying the settings (NV, etc) a you did, why not generate a new amss.bin file with the new settings, and then reflashing the phone only with that new file?

Maybe this way the phone can acept the modifications... In case of freezing... just reflashing the european file back and the phone would be back again....

Just guessing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] technogecko6:
So today I was minding my own business, riding the subway and listening to some music when my Galaxy Nexus decides to reboot itself. After this, it gets into a reboot loop (never getting past the Google logo).

I tried restarting the phone into fastboot mode and using the recovery option, but I end up getting the icon of the android on its back, chest plate open and a red exclamation triangle thing coming out of it. I assume this is bad ;)

A little back story... this is the GSM/Euro Galaxy Nexus. I've been using it for close to 6 months most likely and have never rooted/unlocked it. In actuality, I don't think I've ever done anything with it out of the ordinary (like I have in the past with other android devices). In fact, I don't know if I ever even plugged it into my PC via USB before (thus no drivers, may have never set it to USB debugging enabled).

Is there anything I can do here? I tried looking at a few options (Such as the WugFresh Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit, which has a Stock resetting option), but since I never enabled USB debugging and installed drivers before the phone decided to go and brick itself, I don't know if I'm actually stuck...

What do you think? Is there an option I have not yet considered? Or am I going to try and convince Samsung to honor my warranty or something? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] af974:
Moved to Q&A, please pay attention next time where you are opening a new discussion ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
When you see the android on its back you have to hold vol. up + power to enter the options.

There you can wipe data and reboot to see if it will boot up again.

If that doesn't work you can try flashing the stock images. Those will require you setting up fastboot on your computer. There are many guides on how to do all of that.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
If you can get into Fastboot mode just fine, then hook it up to your computer and flash the stock images. It'll revert you back to stock fresh and you can go from there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
We also need to teach people how to debug at basic level at least. If we just teach them how to solve it without caring about what went wrong... they've got the phone might as well learn a few things more.

And yea, i know most couldn't care less. Also, this is no brick - this word very much starts to annoy me when it is incorrectly used and that seems to be getting typical around here. Most likely wiping data/factory reset from stock recovery will allow op to boot up again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i had the same happening to me under stock. after quite some time it went into a bootloop out of the blue.

this:

solved it. my data was gone, but at least the phone worked.

then i decided to root and use a custom rom and it never ever happened again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
Sure we do but as long as :

1. people start threads that suggest they bricked their phone and

2. all they had to do is Google some around to discover that what they see is a stock recovery and

3. discover what they can do to solve their problems (like most of us do to solve our problems)

I think they couldn't care less about debugging... How sad as it may be.

If you discover problems with a device that is sold as much as the GN it is highly unlikely that you were the first to have that problem. If you are: just post away.

[HTC Sensation] loolooyyyy:
i'm very scared of posting in this forum, but anyway if this is very noob-ish and shouldn't have posted, kindly tell me and i wont again

no matter what i did (maybe downloaded up to 5 different ICS ROM , 3Kernels , all the radios, whit every possible combination of them)

i couldn't turn wifi on, though it was mentioned in forums the problem is fixed in new roms

so...

extract the file "wpa_supplicant" located on /system/bin from 'a rom with working wifi, i.e cm7 alpha 10

install your new rom , backup the old file (as it is needed) and replace it with extracted wpa_supplicant , set it's permission to 0755 ( -rwxr-xr-x )

reboot, remove wpa_supplicant.conf again, try to connect, it wont

recover the old wpa_supplicant file with the same permissions

reboot

remove wpa_supplicant.conf again, try to connect, it connects

in next reboot if it doesn't connect correct the wpa_supplicant.conf permission to 0666 ( -rw-rw-rw- )

it connects

ok it sound crazy, i am crazy, but looking at logcat realized wpa_supplicant (bin file, not conf) was generating a lot of error, thought maybe the old one works, again looking at logcat i realized it was simply worse it couldn't even run, recovered the old one, and corrected wpa_supplicant permissions, it connected like a charm, but after every reboot wpa_supplicant.conf permission returns to 0660, which i don't really mind since it works at least

if anyone has a logical explanation, i'd be very very happy to hear, i'm afraid i might encounter the same problem in official CM9

(i tried it on two roms, virtuous inquisition 4.0.0 and the one by vorbeth(based on CM) both having overclocked kernel by sebastianFM and the method worked)
