But you explained it just perfect. You see, I started off just playing around with the rom when I downloaded it and ened up putting this whole theme on it lol. And when I used uot kichen I would take the files it gave me and put them right back in the rom lol I should have been doing the opposite. But I totallly understand what your saying and know how to fix it so I will do it if I get a chance tomorrow and hopefully evrything will be done. But other than that how does it look? Nice?
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:

Thank you both! =) I will try my best to finish it and post it on here tomorrow.
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
Oh and one more thing I wanted to ask. How do I change the script that shows when I install the .zip in cwm? I wanna b able to write what I want. I may just keep the default script for now but for future use I'd like to know please.
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:
There is a file named updater-script inside of the zip, META-INF folder iirc. Inside of that is everything you need to edit in order to display a custom dialog when you flash the zip in CWM.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
If you use notepad++ you can create your own updater-script which is located where thomas said... :). if you open the one that comes with the .zip then you can copy the coding but change the ui_print to what ever.

For themes the code usually runs as such if you want to copy and paste... oh and if you on windows make sure you change the EOL format in the edit menu... to UNIX.

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

extract_package_dir("framework", "/system/framework");

this will extract the framework files.. for the /system/app files you can do this

extract_package_dir("app", "/system/app");

note that the dir or directory is named app... that is the folder inside the .zip.. whatever you decide to name it that is what corresponds with "app".

I wish somebody would do an extensive how to make an updater script :) that would be nice for us n00bs.

Second post of this excellent thread from a while back by Dameon87 contains some commonly used Edify updater-script commands. It is dated, but still relevant. Reminds me of the old amend scripts. Ah the good ole' days

:-)

EDIT: Now that I think about it, that thread was a pivotal moment in Epic development, as before we had the outdated CWM 2.5 for a LONG time. Shows a little history about the progress of this phone

Should I change the name of my test group to Team Bring It? LOL.
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
Okay, I'm finally out of school I'm going to try and change the script. Just to make things more clear for me, th script needs to be commands? Or can I write anything I want and it will still do what its supposed to?
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Commands :P... what displays in cwm is ui_print("what you want to see in clockwork");
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
Alright I get it lol

So can someone help me use pixlar. I resize the image and save it but it doesn't change anything in the saved image. I see like 3 different ways to resize. Which one am I supposed to be using?

Nvm I got it lol
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
Okay so about the bootanimation not changing. I can't seem to find neither bootanimation.zip or sanim.zip in system/media and I've noticed that when it boots up it starts off with half a second of the sprint default boot ani and then turns to the "cut&paste" while sprint's boot ani plays its music in the background. But I can't find either one of the boot animation files.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
no idea.. i guess sprint is getting craftier with their boot animations i have no clue. :(

oh and you might want to look into getting GIMP its much better than pixlr.... you can recolorize stuff... or you can change the hue saturation.. dont know if pixlr does as well but GIMP is usually the go to image themeing program other than those rich boys/hackers that use CS5 and such.
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
lol.. i feel so dumb.. I've been applying a bootanimation from UOT kitchen for a whole week and it hasnt been working.. I just realized that I haven't been changing the "sence rom" to "galaxy s rom" so it can send it to the right place lol. So im just waiting on my file from the kitchen then im gonna flash it to make sure everything is okay then upload it.
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
So, I finally finished it for not. Will upload it in a minute. =)
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
well thats one reason .... hahahahaha ;). I've done the same thing before where i was putting the framework in the wrong place :). took me hours to fix one theme cuz i didnt know it.
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
Lol ya, sometimes we just think we're so good that we forget small things :p lol

But I finally got it done =).

Thank you for alllll you guys' help.

I've uploaded it =).
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Pixlr is awesome. It can do layers and color fills based on saturation levels. When I use Gimp after the third icon edit, it only fills grey no matter what color I choose...it just blows up. Pixlr is an online editor with the power of Photoshop but easy to use commands like Paintbrush. Being online seems to keep it running perfectly.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Cuz you don't know how to change it from grayscale to rgb :p
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
Lol well I used pixlar and just after I figured how it works I found out it was really easy. And I don't know how to change it from grayscale to rgb either so I'll most likely have the same problem lol. So I'm sticking with pixlar for now lol.
[Epic 4G General] Nashdogg:
Hey good job man, looks pretty sweet. Gimp is a little tricky to use until you get it figured out. once you do its golden. its what i use most off the time. If you ever decide to try it out and have any questions just pm me and i can help you out. Keep up the good work:cool:
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
No it just freaks out on me. I do a couple just fine and then the fill just turns to grey for any others.
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
Thank you =). I'll download Gimp and see if I can learn how to use it.
[Epic 4G General] samep:
I'm going to try this theme but think I do have a request.

I like the black and white theme with the white overscroll glow. Yeah, that's been done already and I really like travmofosho's Super Sipper theme but wanted the extended power menu and more blacked-out icons.

The font is sweet but it's been a bit of a challenge for my eyes in the past. I tend to lean to the stock Roboto font. The back-lit glow is a nice addition; I like it. I'd prefer less blue and more back-lit glow.

Oops; meant to post in the theme's linked thread. Sorry.
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
Its okay lol. Just make sure you get the download from there.

And black & white was already my second project and I think I know just what your looking for because I also loved travis' black theme. So just give me some time and I'll work on it once I get a chance.

Hey guys, I'm not looking into any after-market methods, but how to the Skyrocket that I just bought.

It came with Android 2.3.5 UCKJ2, and I believe this should be outdated by now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dimarini:
There is a wide world of custom developed ROMs out there for you to explore. Why limit yourself to what AT&T or <insert other carrier name here> wants to spoon feed you.

Read and learn as much as you can and then get started. You can almost always return your device back to stock for warranty purposes.

This opinion is solely mine and should be taken accordingly.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
FWIW, 17 hours is not bad, depending on what you're doing.

If you are actively using the phone with a screen on time of at least a few hours, with full sync going, that's actually pretty good.

If this is pure stand-by time (you're not touching the phone at all) it's on the mediocre side, but still not terrible if you have full sync going.

I can get 24+ hours if I hardly use the phone at all, or about 6-7 hours if I'm constantly using it for web surfing, facebooking, XDA, games, GPS, etc.

Battery life is completely subjective to how you use the phone.

I had a similar issue. I was using my phone just fine last friday, put it in my pocket, took it out about 10 minutes later and it was off. Thought it was odd cause it had over 50% charge. Tried turning it back on, and nothing. Completely dead. Tried getting into bootloader, 3 different batteries, leaving it to charge, nothing worked. Won't turn on at all. Finally got my replacement today.

Hi, I recently updated to ZV8 and when I try to install CWM Recovery using MTs way :

After gaining root on ZV8 you can get CWM recovery by running this ZV8CWMRecovery.bat.

After my phone is plugged in as internet mode and I open up the .bat file. I restart and I still dont have the recovery option. How do I go through this process?

Also, It seems like my Swype is broken. Everytime I bring up the keypad to Swype it hides right away and I end up using the default LG Keyboard.
[LG Revolution] patsoxfan:
Clear the data in the application. it fixed mine
[LG Revolution] foobz:
you can just run the important bit from terminal emulator.

I copied cwmrecovery.img to data/local/temp then ran

followed by

rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

rm /data/local.prop
[LG Revolution] SnoeDogg:
They recovery option wont be there because you are still running the stock zv8 rom. Use rom manager to gain access to it or shut of the phone and hold down the power and volume down buttons. If you flash the new Broken out Revo it will display the recovery option.

[LG Revolution] Cal8192:
If your reset put you back to stock zv8 (check settings> about phone) then you will not be able to root/cwm.

You'll have to push the zv7 tot, root with zv7 aio, run bat in "easiest" thread, ota to zv8, run bat again for recovery.

Lots of steps but not terrible. All instruction is available in development. I'd post links but I'm on my phone and have been awake going on 24hrs now. I reserve the right to be slightly lazy. Ha

Im looking for either an andriod 2.23 or higher based mp3 player for my little sister.

My sister has disabilities and probably will never use the phone part. But a no contract phone under $200 USD would work too. I prefer devices with replaceable batteries and upgradable memory. At 200, Id probably also buy either a 32gb microsd card or a 64gb micro sdxc card for a hundred more. I know many devices don't support it. Key word is support as Ive read more than a few devices it will work with when formatted thru android.

One thing that is not required is custom roms....but I'd prefer something I could throw cyanogen on. I really would also like at least a 1ghz processor. This is for her birthday in June, I just want some ideas. I know my wishlist is long, but I really dont know about any android based mp3 players and may need to be educated. A 200 dollar phone without contract works too.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelToast:
If you are looking for just an Android MP3 Player there are two options:

Galaxy Player 4.0

Galaxy Player 5.0

Both are pretty much the same except for screen sizes, one being 4" and the other 5". The 4" variant is for around ~$190, while the 5" is for around ~$220. Both have a 1GHz CPU as well as 512 MB RAM and run on Android 2.3 GB.

As for custom ROMs, xda has threads for Galaxy Player 4/5 and CM9 ROMs are available for them.

Keep in mind, these are like iPod Touches, (No Phone functionality).

[General Questions and Answers] la_poigne:
Do you also use Titanium Backup to save installed applications?
[General Questions and Answers] No3x:
No, because I planned to restore from this backup.
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
Have a look in the clockworkmod folder in either /sdcard/ or /sdcard/external_sd/. In the subfolder that relates to the backup in question you should find (depending on the recovery version) a file called data.*.tar (for me it's data.ext4.tar).

If you've got that file then great. Do the following...

Unzip it (either on phone or PC) and look in the extracted data for the folder /data/data/.

In that folder you will find a folder called something like com.developername.applicationname. This is the package name of your app. If you know the package name of your app then skip this next bit.

If you don't know the package name then find the app on your PC on Google Play (Android Market) and look at the url. This is (for example only) Root Explorer...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&feature=sear....etc.

The bit you need is the id. In this instance it's com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer - that's the package name.

Okay, now you know the package name and you've found the data folder. Copy that folder to your phone in /data/data/ to overwrite the existing data folder in there (as everyone will warn you, make a backup of the folder before overwriting it).

So in short, do this...

Extract cwm data.*.tar file.

Copy extracted /data/data/com.package.name.

Paste into /data/data/ in the root of your phone.
