[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KodeRiter722:
A locked phone is just a phone that is tied to one carrier.

A rooted phone is a phone where the user (you) has enabled root access to the phone, which provides you with (nearly) ultimate control of the phone. It typically voids your warranty, although there are many ROMs and root methods that will not trigger the flash counter (which shows your carrier that you've tampered with the device). It can be risky, since you are able to damage your phone, the worst case scenario being a "bricked" phone, which means the device will no longer turn on, rendering it fairly useless. The benefits include:

access to grant permissions to certain apps (which lets you do some pretty cool stuff, like making a backup of all your apps so you don't have to download them individually every time you reset your phone, or the ability to uninstall carrier bloatware)

the ability to flash custom roms!

do you need any others? you can FLASH CUSTOM ROMS dammit!!

Without getting too technical, custom ROMs are third party pieces of software that alter, and hopefully upgrade, your current (Stock) rom. This means you can get updates to your phone long before your carrier releases the OTA updates, and you can get customized versions which look and feel better and allow you to do awesome things like overclock your cpu for faster speeds (which improves overall perfomance), or undervolt it for increased battery life...or a little bit of both. A lot of the time you don't even need to do this yourself, because these awesome developers will set all that up for you.

So just to recap, you are taking a risk every time you root your phone or flash a custom rom, however, the guides make it very difficult for you to hard-brick your phone (soft bricking can be frustrating, but is far from the death of your phone), and there are safety measures you can put in place, like nandroid backups (only once youre rooted! :D). Also, most phones have a guide for getting back to stock in case all hell breaks loose on your phone.

I am by no means an expert at this, but I have flashed a few hundred roms, and rooted at least 30 different devices (phones and tablets), and I have yet to hard brick a device. I believe the rewards far outweigh the risks, although to each his own.

EDIT: I've made a newer version now, which has shadows and is HDPI AND MDPI

You can find it here

------

So here is my finished version of the modified 360 launcher.

Changed things:

Removed dock

resized workspace

Changed icon and font size

themed icons - over 2500 different icons using signa and vexillum

-------

App drawer still works, just click underneath the page dots.

To get layout go into preference and change layout to 9x7, i changed app drawer to vertical also.

If you use one screen multipicture live wallpaper and set 360 launcher to vertical scroll you get transparent status bar.

Credits go to icon creators and 360 dev team, I've just modified the launcher to my liking.

Launcher can be found here

and wallpaper here

CM7 theme used is MIUI v4 with chargebar

still waiting for your ICS theme for cm7

or this is also no going to release as LABEL one:(:(:(
[Android Themes] gfs222:
what happened to your icon set ? love this btw^^
[Android Themes] shiniyoyo:
Ouuu me likey ;) Can you please put up a MDPI version? Thanks and keep up the good work! :)

Miui v4 CM7 theme by JasonEvil?
[Android Themes] Taine0:
I lost my PSD's and haven't had time to recreate them. :/ I miss them.

There's quite a few label themes out there and one that's just a copy of my preview buuuuuuuuut my ICS theme will be out very soon, it's almost finished now, once i get chance to finish some of icons i'll release it!

I don't have an MDPI phone to know sizes! :/ but we shall see ;)

Yeah, really nice clean theme!
[Android Themes] baySF:
yeah this is breathtaking and it would be really awesome if someone could port this to mdpi. i love all ur work taine0. keep it up.
[Android Themes] shiniyoyo:
@Taine0 the sizes for MDPI is 320x480 :)
[Android Themes] kcls:
But he needs to know how to size XML and stuff which isn't always resolution dependent.

Really nice tho Taine! I'm to busy right now to size to mdpi, but maybe in the future (if supetawesomedude doesn't beat me to it :D) Do you think you could share that ribbon in the statusbar?
[Android Themes] DowneyJM:
damn.....looks great

how much work is it to resize everything?

anybody got a link to share that can show me how to?
[Android Themes] RyanTX:
That's an amazing looking theme.
[Android Themes] akabadnews:
I have the settings on vertical scroll for the wallpaper but the status bar is still black. Is there something I missed?

EDIT

I didn't enable transparency in my ROM. Duh. -_-'
[Android Themes] baySF:
if im not mistaken, ur ROM or CM7 theme needs to support transparency. does anyone know what will happen if this theme is applied to an MDPI device when its only for HDPI?
[Android Themes] nitinvaid:
But your is still best
[Android Themes] -Grift-:
Yeah mdpi please :D
[Android Themes] kcls:
Read above post...
[Android Themes] baySF:
just to let u and others know, u do NOT need to have it on vertical scroll. i have mine set on horizontal and since my cm7 theme is a transparent one and my status bar is modded to be transparent, its transparent. so having the app drawer a certain way does not make it transparent unless i just got lucky lol.
[Android Themes] Taine0:
I just suggested vertical scrolling wallpaper in desktop settings so that multipicture live wallpaper doesn't scroll resulting in smoother transitions. You need a live wallpaper to have transparent wallpaper.

Does anyone want an MDPI version then?
[Android Themes] ratchet789:
following this now looks great can't wait downloading now.
[Android Themes] afrayed:
yes!yes!please make one for mdpi:)

wanna use this one ASAP:D

thanks^^
[Android Themes] kiltedthrower:
Sorry if this was answered. The dock is tiny. I man really, really little. My phone is a galaxy note.
[Android Themes] baySF:
yeah i have noticed that now that u mention it. imma switch to ur method and see if it improves for me. to answer ur question, i would love to have an MDPI version ( :
[Android Themes] Taine0:
That's the point :) Just remove the icons from the dock. The whole point of this mod is to remove the dock and have a wide workspace.
[Android Themes] Sertug:
please change phone icon it look very bad :(
[Android Themes] SevereDeceit:
Taine, do you have to be running a custom ROM to get the transparent status bar? I followed your instructions, but my status bar is not transparent.

*Nevermind, I got my answer.*
[Android Themes] xxxMADxxx:
Yup..i like page indicator at the bottom...its look so different..ifu want dock n app drawer at the bottom u better use muiu lsuncher modified by vipitus...
[Android Themes] RobZarzecki:
What is the file name in the res folder for the green phone icon. I'm looking to change it but haven't had any luck
[Android Themes] Taine0:
Updated the first post with a HDPI/MDPI version, so enjoy guys.
[Android Themes] SevereDeceit:
Love what you have done with this Launcher. Is it possible to have both the Signa theme and the new one you just updated? That way I can switch when I get tired of the icons? I like both icons sets.
[Android Themes] Taine0:
Hmm, I'll have to update the other one, or you could just copy the image files into the new apk and sign it again. Don't have to decompile.

Also to answer another post, Yeah. I just noticed the phone icon is from the old suave set, I don't really use it. I'll have to change that when I can be bothered! Or you can just replace the icon by using apktool, just extract, change icon and zip it back up.
[Android Themes] SevereDeceit:
I can do that. I like both themes a lot, so it would be nice to switch from time to time for a change of scenery. Thanks for the reply, Taine. :D
[Android Themes] RobZarzecki:
For the phone icon, do you know the exact icon name.. There's a few.. Phone, phone 1,contact etc. Thanks..if you know the gmail one also.... .. Btw. Suave theme is a fave of mine but doesn't match this
[Android Themes] Taine0:
hmm, not sure. I guess you can either go through the folder or use windows search and just search for phone and see which icon is the suave phone one. It's what I'll end up doing! ;)
[Android Themes] RobZarzecki:
OK That's what I'm doing.. There's a ton of files... Appreciate this great job
[Android Themes] alboz83:
It's possibile to have this launcher without signa icon? It's high size and i would use only my icons. I try to delete the icon and the relative voice in /values/public.xml but i get errors in apkmanager.
[Android Themes] Pseudonym:
I think you can delete public.xml before recompiling. I've read that it rebuilds itself.
[Android Themes] alboz83:
Yes this works :) but after to install the launcher, it don't start
[Android Themes] cmajetic:
thank you, awesome work, too bad i am a noob at decompiling, editing and so on because i would also like to have the signa phone icon :(

one question:

when i update the launcher, your themings and so on won't stay, right?
[Android Themes] cmajetic:
hi!

first thing: most of the icons you used are not signa, they are MIUI v4 project vexillum.

second thing: can you please tell me what xml files have you edited? i would like to edit the new version of the launcher (v2.4) as you did, because now it supports transparent statusbar, no matter what settings you have, no live wallpaper needed.

thanks!
[Android Themes] Mello^:
It looks really nice, a close look of MIUI home screen launcher. Too bad it's not available for LDPI devices, can you possibly make one for LDPI?
[Android Themes] aaiko:
Thanks a lot for the mdpi version, but is there a way to make the font a little bit smaller? cause it looks so big on my device, thanks in advance.

And actually I fix the shadow for drawable mdpi cause it looks a little weird with miui icons (the original one has rounded and squared corners, this one is just squared and I move it 3px to fit the icons correctly)

hey everyone

i've got a question: I have an MPDI phone, so I downloaded the HDPI+MDPI-version of this Launcher...

But when I install and launch it, I just get the standard 360Launcher like this:

Do I still have to set something? :/
[Android Themes] darklord20k:
This is not standard look :D, you can try the orginal version to feel the differrent :D

@Tanel0: 360 lancher v3.0 is released and I am waiting the 3.0 themed version from you :D

[Motorola Droid 4] gdeeble:
So I feel stupid, but maybe I am doing something wrong and someone can punch me for it, but I decided to try to run the cheesecake program from the bionic on my phone, which apparently killed my updates all together due to the fact that it now says about the Moto Service Account need. So I decided to try to use my nonsafe back up to see if I could restore to an earlier date, and it won't let me. It says error restoring systemorig. Has anyone ran into this?
[HTC Rezound] cpurick:
There's a patch to allow people who've run the ICS leaks to see their SD cards after returning to GB. Why is this necessary, and what does the patch do?

I ask because since S-off I've completely reverted to GB, and I'm still having problems seeing my SD, perhaps because it either had its format changed due to ICS, or because I previously applied the patch to the ROM I'm currently running.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
It's probably more due to the s off process I've seen a lot of users with this issue who weren't on gingerbread also.

Take the data from your SD card and copy it to a folder on your computer. Wipe the card completely and format it in windows. Then put it in the phone and format it in Settings/Storage. then once you've done that put some stuff on it and see if it's being recognized. Finally you can copy all of your data over to the sd card again from the backup you made at the first step.
[HTC Rezound] cpurick:
Yeah, I've got s-off, and I've reverted to GB OTA. But I've restored the ROM I was running on top of the ICS firmware, which must have the SD patch on it. So I'm trying to understand what's changed in order to navigate out of it.

In fact, I am already copying the files off so I can format the SD on another device. Something about great minds, I suppose...

Just wondering what's causing it, because I really don't know if the format's gonna help. Right now the phone doesn't even recognize the card from the ROM. Sees it fine in recovery though.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
The mount points changed, if you had installed the patch to allow you to run a GB rom on the ICS firmware your mount points would be broken now. You should be able to flash the patch to allow you to run ICS on the old firmware and you should be good.

The patch just updates /system/etc/vold.fstab
[HTC Rezound] cpurick:
So it looks like a device number associated with a drive is incremented. Apparently the ICS firmware reports this device at a higher number than the GB firmware, and so the GB won't see it unless fstab points to the correct index.

Since I'm on GB firmware now (thanks, s-off!) I can set the number back to the value in the GB RUU.

Having done that, my phone still does not recognize the card -- except in Amon Ra. Furthermore, the card was not recognized in an unmodified Droid X belonging to a co-worker. So something's wrong with the card, but it's not a clear failure.

I'm now running a FAT32 format from Windows, through Amon Ra, and I'm doing the full format rather than the quick version. Taking forever. We'll see. If this doesn't work, maybe I need to look for a card reader to format it.

Why might Amon Ra recognize the card, but not Android?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
HBOOT 2.21 simply mounts the "/sdcard" partition to a different EMMC block than previous 2.10/2.11 HBOOTs did. That is it. Its that simple. WHY did they make the change? I have no idea.

So, if you're on GB and you can't access your internal storage (/sdcard), all you need to do is simply flash an earlier HBOOT (2.10, or the 2.11 ENG HBOOT from the dev section) and make sure you're also using the corresponding GB radios. Then you have no more issues.
[HTC Rezound] cpurick:
I have the 2.11 HBOOT and GB radios.

The problem is the External SD. I can share it between Amon Ra and Windows, but I can't mount it from Android. Android shows it unavailable. When I go to mount it, it briefly says, "Preparing SD Card," followed by a message telling me I can remove the SD card. The same thing is seen on multiple phones.

I did a long format, Fat32, from Windows 7 while the card was mounted in Amon Ra. I put a zip on the card and Amon Ra seems willing to flash it. I can definitely read and write it via recovery. But Android doesn't see it, and I think it's the card rather than my phone. Ideas? Anything I can do with partitions? Maybe there's something that can be "reset."

Each time I explore the card I find "lost.dir". I don't recall seeing that before.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Yup. Leave it alone. Been there all along, and not anything new. I've seen that directory going back to my Incredible two years ago, and I'm sure it goes back before that.
[HTC Rezound] Dstu03:
Try flashing the patch for gb firmware
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
It was probably the formatting that did it. I would take it out, remove all partitions on it, and let the phone reformat it on its own.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I will tell you I tried hand editing mine and it would not take the changes no matter how many times I rebooted it. Flashed one of the patches and it worked like a charm. Don't ask me why, that was just my experience.

Do I just flash the new ROM in CWM recovery like I did to get my first ROM? Or is there more to it?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
That's a problem on your end, that rom is flawless and you flashed it wrong
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] penance:
This is the guide I used to flash the ROM

http://www.traemcneely.com/2011/12/27/install-custom-rom-at-ciq-removed-short-review-instructions/

I compared it with ones on xda and it was identical but more noob friendly which I preferred. I dont know what I couldve possibly done wrong.. I followed EVERYTHING step by step. I love everything about this ROM except this one major annoyance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
It was a bad flash or bad download. Try to redownload and check the md5, then simply reflash it making sure to follow instructions and wipe properly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] penance:
Sorry, but may I ask what an md5 is? And the specific ROM I want

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1377087

doesn't provide instructions, at least that I know of so I followed this guide

http://www.traemcneely.com/2011/12/27/install-custom-rom-at-ciq-removed-short-review-instructions/

Only problem I can think of that I made was flashing the RC 6.75 Stock ROM and then wiping cache partition and flashing the 7.4 Stock Nonewipeupdate right afterwards which is exactly what the guide asked for. Was I suppose to reboot after flashing the stock RC 6.75 ROM before flashing the 7.4 Stock Nonewipeupdate?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
You need to flash the base and boot it before flashing an update, like you said.

Before flashing any rom this is a general procedure

wipe data/factory reset 3x

Wipe cache 3x

wipe dalvik cache 3x

format system 3x

flash radio if need be

flash rom

reboot

dont touch phone for at least 10 mins

set up basics

if it has an update

reboot to cwm

wipe cache 3x

wipe dalvik cache 3x

flash update

reboot

Okk. ONE LAST question. The SkyRocket ICS (2.3.5 Gingerbread) ROM I'm using doesn't have or provide a radio file to DL on the page which I linked earlier. Does that imply that this particular ROM doesn't need it? Or am I suppose to find a radio to flash before flashing the ROM and update?

Thanks alot for your help/advice!! Really appreciate it! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
In about phone, what does it say for baseband? Kj2 is the 2.3.5 stock radio
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] boobah204:
If the radio you're using is working and you're flashing from gb to gb, you shouldn't have to worry about the radio. You'll still have the same one. Radios flash separately from roms. I don't think you'll NEED to flash a new radio unless you change to an ICS rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] penance:
Android version 2.3.6

Baseband version I727UCKJ2

Kernal version 2.6.35.11+

Build number Sky-ICS RC7.4 Stock

When I purchased my phone and after I rooted it, I was v2.3.5 but after I flashed my first ROM (which is my current ROM) the android version changed to v2.3.6. So if KJ2 is the stock radio for v2.3.5 is there a possibility my problem of not having the att logo and wifi signal on the top of my phone due to not having the correct radio for this ROM? or for v2.3.6 in general? Or is it from what you said earlier, my flashing process was wrong? Or a mixture or not having the correct radio and flashing wrong? :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] penance:
Well, I don't really know whether or not the radio is working. I suppose in my case it is working since I am able to recieve and make calls, text, and go on the web. However, I am unable to see the att logo, wifi/cell signal on the top of my phone. I don't know if this problem has anything to do with the radio though. Sorry for my lack of understanding..

I'm assuming the problem is more my fault in terms of not flashing correctly. I have no idea whether or not I need a separate radio for this ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Sounds like a systemui /frame work problem

Wipe data/cache/dalvik

Reflash

Fully boot

Shutdown

Flash update

Wipe dalvik

Reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] boobah204:
The signals at the top wouldn't be affected by he radio. You would most likely get them back if you reflashed your from or flashed another. As long as it's a 2.3.5 or 2.3.6. And also follow the instructions (usually pretty standard, wipe data factory reset a few times, wipe cache partition, advanced, wipe dalvik cache a few times, go back, mounts and storage, format system a few times. Then install zip from SD card) oh and always backup first and make sure you can restore the backup. But yeah if you can make calls and use internet, your radio should be OK.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] penance:
Thanks! That's what I figured the problem to be :p JK.

Not sure the deal with your cell/wifi signals not showing in your status bar, but, the carrier logo could have been removed in the ROM itself.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] phoenix2217:
So how possibly will it be now to port MIUI V4 to the infuse now that CM9 is up and running? I'd like to see it. I tried to do it myself. The ROM gets past the kernel splash and to the MIUI boot animation. The bottom buttons light up but it dosen't boot in.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kirin0ichiban:
Same here. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, and I've already pm'ed some of the other devs, they don't feel like helping. Did you use a guide, if so which one?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] phoenix2217:
No guide. I've ported ROMS before, did it for the Infuse back when Mikey did his first port of MIUI GB. Kinda just know what goes where, or at least I usually do. Not sure what I'm going wrong this time. I'm kinda purposely flying solo as I don't have a full dev environment at home but if I have to I will get ADB working and get a log cat. Any chance you can get one?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kirin0ichiban:
Yeah, I have a pretty weak environment set up, I might be able to get you a logcat. It might be later on today or tomorrow, I've been unusually busy this week.
