1. Buy a plain TPU case.

2. Spray this on the case.

3. ???

4. Profit!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
Also in real life it's not going to glow that much probably. Looks like for that photo they put it under a black light.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
:) I was actually thinking of doing the same thing during my holidays.

I'm just wondering if its safe/ok to use a case after painting it :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ALIHISGREAT:
Its might asplode if you spray in wrong.

People have lost hands before!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
Well, you could potentially explode something if you spray near an open flame.

But seriously, you'll be fine as long as you use clear coat to protect it from being rubbed/scraped off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] QueenHawkeye:
I love glow in the dark things! I actually have an extra TPU case that I'm not using right now that I can experiment on, and a little bit of that of the glow in the dark spray can that I have left over from a project.

If I were to spray it, should I spray it from the inside of case or outside?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
Wow, how convenient :D

I think spraying the outside? the inside won't be exposed to light, making it pointless :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evochuck:
Not to be a downer or anything but, unless your paint is somewhat elastic(rare in canned paint) a TPU case will make it crack in no time since its flexible, and itll look like crap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
:) No, constructive criticism is good.

Would this problem be less significant in say a hard plastic bumper case then? like these?:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/18085156...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_2750wt_922
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
You should be okay if you use a hybrid case that has a hard plastic backing, or you could just be really careful with it. The amount of flex required to get the case on is pretty minimal, but of course.getting it off is a different story.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timmiej93:
Seems like a slight risk to me.. If you spray the cover, and then clear coat it, you would have to sand it all off if it cracked and you wanted to replace it. Ofcourse you could try sanding only the cracked part but that could result in poor results
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
At the moment, I'm considering buying:

This as the case. I'm on the fence about whether I want a full case or just bumper. If I get a bumper, I also want one of those fancy metal battery covers :p

This paint. I think blue would go nicely with the ICS theme. Orange would be my second choice :)

How should I go about clear coating?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
I would wetsand that case with a high grit sandpaper first like a 600 grit. Then use a plastic primer you can spray on. They sell it in any hardware store. Then wetsand the primer again with 600 grit then spray your paint on. I would do it in 3-4 coats maybe more. A light coat each time will give you the desired finish. Also wet sanding it will allow the primer/paint to stick better while still keeping the case finish in good shape. It's time consuming but if you want longevity and a professional finish this is the way. Make sure to wipe down between sanding and all coats to allow better adhesion. As far as clear coating goes I would use the same formula. Finish your main color coats and let it sit overnight. Then lightly wetsand again and apply your coats of the clear. I would say the same amount of light coats but it depends on the product you use. I'm sure you can find a good sprayable product if you do research. Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
Wow, and I was just thinking of painting over it with a few layers. Guess I was really wrong :p

I guess that means I'd need to make a few trips to local hardware stores to see if I can track those things down. The hardest thing to find IMO would be the glow in the dark spray paint (white in the day, blue glow). This project will need to start a few weeks later since I'm occupied by UNI.

I've contacted Slickwraps, the makers of the decals for the iphone 4s. They sent me a "request a device" link:

http://www.slickwraps.com/New-Wraps-Skin-from-Slickwraps-s/398.htm

:) If it's not too much of a hassle, maybe you guys can sign in a request too (if you want a GITD case/decal ("glow in the dark" is way too long to type...))
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
Cool, thanks for the link. It's a process but what I laid out is to achieve the best possible finish. You can do it anyway you'd like but that's the way to come off like a champ.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
I'll still follow your steps, since I'm doing it, might as well do it as well as I can.

:) project for the holidays!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
HUZZAH!

Hello!

Remember me? :p I have some good news to share:

I found this decal on Ebay

. Shipping took about a week from UK to Australia.

I love the decal itself, it's white when not glowing, now with the decal, it resembles the white Gnex. I would have preferred a blue glow, but seeing there is a glow in the dark decal at all, I'm not being picky. The texture itself it like masking tape, which makes me worry about how durable this will be.

I only used the decals for the sides, the pack comes with a decal for the front screen and back battery cover too.

Thing I don't like is the cut outs at the bottom. I know its due to our curvy design, but it's really the only thing I don't like about it. The sides and top are fine, bottom cut out areas still have bits that aren't sticking too well, but they might stick better over a bit more time (the top ones did). I've never really used decals before so maybe my sticking skills are poor. Pics:

Packaging

Lights on

Lights off

(Sorry about the blur)

As with all glow in the dark things, you'd need to charge it by light. I found it to work well. I might try cutting out some of the left overs to patch the holes.

[EVO 4G General] Dgsaxhitman84:
OK to start goto the cyanogenmod website and get 7.2 rc1 and then download tiamat-dev.com Tiamat Kernel... Download the latest... I use the SBC if I'm not mistaken it is 4.0.6 and love it I am an extremely high data usage user and get around 6-8 hours of non stop Internet and app usage. When I run CM 7 I also run the kickass kernelizer script... Sorry I don't have the URL for the but I'm sure you can Google that
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
As far as the download speeds, that's normal for Sprint. Nationwide 3g is averaging about 300kbps right now. I personally haven't seen ANY 3g speeds above 100kbps in almost 2 years.

For your other problems, how long have you been running that rom? When I had my Evo, I found that no matter what rom I was running, after about a month and a half it would get sluggish. A rom re-flash, or a new rom will help fix this.
[EVO 4G General] Teamscrooge:
Your Problemo

You probably did something wrong during ur installation... you can overclock and underclock to make stuff faster and underclock when ur not using it to make it faster
[EVO 4G General] ryryv2:
I would do as Dgsaxhitman84 said update to the new rom. i had the same problem and i updated to cm7.2 and it started running like new again.
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
Mason kernel with wheatley governor will give you the most battery life. I am currently running his v15 rc on decks. If you are sticking to GB, make sure to get the non hwa kernel or else you're in for a bigger headache.
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
Check out the thread in my signature. It will help you get the cleanest flash possible to get rid of some if not all of those problems. If you do everything like flash kernel etc you can also get superior battery life

The Retail Diagnostics is used in Sprint's Slate test. It is used to test the primary functions of the phone and make sure PRL and profile are up to date. Fortunately it is pretty harmless at this time. There would be no point in it checking for root because Sprint M&P does not care whether you are rooted or not.

Boot Any PC operating system.

Download images from open availiable servers an the app does it all for you! no guide or anything.

more OS constantly updating!!!

This app is a proof of concept

This app will enable you to run ubuntu, windiws xp, windows 95, windows 98, dos and any operating system using bochs emulator.

The app contains full automatic instructions to download and install bochs emulator and run the images.

Please Note:

1. requires at least 1 GHz processor

2. images size can be large so at least 1.5 GB free on sdcard is recommended.

2. downloading an image can take a while and running it also

3. just a proof of concept. not meant to run Office Photoshop etc...

4. if something does not work - don't give bad rates before you contacted our support: please contact support@yossoft.com

5. the app installs on sd card and runs on-top of android so it can not damage your phone. However, the developer (yossoft) is not responsible for any damage, data loss or cost.

6. Does NOT require root

7. now you can install ubuntu, install linux, install windows, debian ,win98 win 95 or windows xp with ease!

Get it here!!!!!!! we update regularely so you never get bored :)

[Motorola Atrix 2] Chrisruns:
Most (All?) AntiVirus software from Play Store do not have permissions for the inner parts of your phone. Android runs apps in a "Sandbox", meaning that they are seperate from the other parts of the phone. If you installed something with funky permissions, get worried, scan with NortonMobile and nothing comes up, still be wary! The virus, malware, spyware, etc can still be hiding as the Antivirus only scans the SD card and Sandbox.

I haven't heard of this happening but it's just a safe bet. Check those permissions!

Is this your first flash into cm9? If so be aware that some have had problems with loss of service. Are you GSM or CDMA(sprint)? they little detail can make our break it. Most times, people are referenced to flashing through CWM into CM9 3.1 let it boot, than flashing into a more recent build.

first question... are you unlocked? you need to be unlocked
[Motorola Photon 4G] hirent:
Don't move, seriously don't even blink. Or you might screw up your phone!

You are way ahead of where you need to be, if you are asking this query.

First, as asked above, are you unlocked....as in, is your bootloader unlocked?

You need to be rooted and have your bootloader unlocked to flash this ROM.

When your BL is unlocked, the phone reverts to factory default, meaning it is wiped clean. Also 4G is broken. There is no way around these so you better make a backup of everything you care about; viz, contacts, sms, call logs etc.

Read the first three threads in the stickies.

Also, 'Qbking77' has posted numerous videos of how-to. Here's one about rooting and CWM.

Don't hesitate to ask for help if you feel stuck. Better that than bricking the device.

Good Luck!

After you flash recovery, you should boot into it. Then flash a ROM. If you leave it stock, there is a script that flashes stock recovery every boot, so you lose cwm.

There is a way to disable that script if you want to remain stock, but i can't remember where i saw the instructions for that.

"Note: There is a script in your phone that will remove ClockworkMod recovery when you reboot. In order to stop this from happening, download a root explorer from the Market (ES File Explorer, Root Explorer, File Expert). Use it to navigate to /system/etc/ on your phone. Find a file named “install-recovery.sh” and rename to to something like “install-recovery.sh.bak”. This will render it disabled and will make sure you keep your custom recovery."

So I just joined the Photon crowd coming from the EVO 4G(it finally died and a friend let me have this one, as he had switched to the iPhone) and I noticed no one has tried porting a Sense rom to this device. I'm enjoying CM7 right now but really miss the flair of Sense. I know it's purely an aesthetic thing but I've always liked it, growing very fond of it from using my old EVO over the last two years. I did some Google searching about it but couldn't really find anything to help me. I'd like to see if anyone here knows what's required to port Sense to the Photon, and if it's possible, a good base to start with. Any help or sharing of knowledge is kindly appreciated.
