Great, was waiting for this before I flashed the latest nightly. Was having the same problem with both keyboards so I delete both pingyin and openwnn as part of my routine.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Jeraimee:
Working perfect here. Thanks phinnaeus.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] -shift-:
yessss!!! thanks phinnaeus!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] phinnaeus:
Here you go!

A few notes: I use save for web, png-24 settings, make sure to turn off the white background layer, and everything in the unused/old groups is, obviously, unused.

Have fun, and I'd love to see what you come up with.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] clamknuckle:
Thanks for the updates phinnaeus!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] -shift-:
I just saw this. Yea, some people have that issue. I haven't come across it and I'm on the latest nightly.

something weird happened with sculpted and the latest 8/26 nightly. it causes bootloops.. any ideas why?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrcharlesiv:
Flashed fine over the stable CM6 released last night in case anyone was wondering.

P.S. First post over on the EVO side of the forums. It's about damn time, too.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] EyeslikeOlives:
Going to download. Just to be very clear, though the post above mine seems to assure my curiosity, this does work with the final release of CM 6.0.0 for the HTC EVO 4G? As long as its AOSP it should be fine? Anyway, so it's just a theme that I flash over my current ROM? No wiping?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] phinnaeus:
you got it all right.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] EyeslikeOlives:
Great, thanks. I went ahead and just flashed it and its great. I love the lock screen and the icons. Are you planning on extending this to apps?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] phinnaeus:
nope, it's done.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] EyeslikeOlives:
Well I love it :) great work. Especially with the wallpaper, beautiful widget home screen, and battstatt. Its perfect.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] EyeslikeOlives:
It seems as though apps aren't able to be installed after download. I found that after applying this theme the apps started with this.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] KnightMAREcrow:
Is there any chance you could make some of the circular icons to work against a black status bar. Inverting the blacks to white. I tried and failed miserably.

Also, to maybe add a status bar icon for hsdpa. If you do I would appreciate it, if not, then no worries.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] shymog:
Any chance we can get a version that works on the latest nightly? All I get for the battery icon is a black battery with a question mark.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] phinnaeus:
Orly? I will look into this.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] shymog:
Thanks, I know you said you were done extending it, but I love the theme and hope to keep using it. Using 09-06 nightly.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] henderjr:
Yep I was getting the messed up battery icon too last I tried. Thanks for putting some time in to fix! I'd like to start using this theme again!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jkinnison90:
Can't wait for an update for this.. always have used this theme for CM
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thepowerofdonuts:
Here's a question for anyone who can answer. If I were to flash this, then flash the Smooth mod that is based on ManUp's REVOlution, would I be able to keep the lockscreen, dialer, and contacts app from this? The reason I'm thinking this will work is that I don't think the second theme changes anything but the notification/status bar. I would like to keep the buttons when you have to make a selection from this theme, but since the other one does change that I don't think it would be possible without going in and editing the theme.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] daniel06gt:
I can't get the time to show up on the right. How would you do that?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] phinnaeus:
Hey guys, checking back in for the first time in what seems like (and probably is) months.

First of all, I just want to apologize for my absence. I really wanted to keep working on this and other projects during the semester but the realities of my major have forced me to nearly abandon it. Proof of how busy I am: I am running a stock ROM right now because I honestly haven't found time to put anything else on it.

You guys have been more than generous with your support and you deserve better. I promise if i can find the time I will update this to at least boot up on the newest builds but until then, I think shift_ might be working on something better.

I wish I had better news or could stick around and see what amazing stuff you guys have come up with in the past few months but right now I am knee deep in a lab report that is due in a few hours and am just on here on a whim.

phinnaeus

PS happy 10/10/10
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Mayonesa:
do your thing.. .thats more important than this. i did wonder what happened but i figured things just got busy..

at the end of the day everyone here is just here to help each other and make our phones better..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gear.h34d.2012:
Here's hoping your semester is going well dude. I'm about to flash this over the top of CM6.1 RC1, will report back.

Best theme I've ever used on any ROM bro. Keep up the good work. :cool:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] -shift-:
i agree, one of the best themes i've ever come across. i'm in the process of porting it over to cm6.1 with some slight modifications, obviously with phinnaeus's approval. i'm waiting for 6.1 to get released so that any and all framework changes can be finalized. in its current state, sculpted won't work due to the different framework in 6.1rc1.

anyway, i'll start a new thread once i have some substantial updates to share :)

much respect and thanks to phinnaeus for inspiring me to work on this and get involved in android work in general :D

[Captivate General] YeaItsSlo:
and how much of a difference does class actually matter? right now im cardless and need to pick one up... any info?
[Captivate General] crashcarruthers:
A SanDisk 32 GB Class 2

If the micro SD is not formatted and is bigger than 16 GB you have to format on a computer, android 2.1 limit. The Captivate will work with a 32 GB micro SD card, I have a net usable 29.29 GB on external SD on my phone. I am pretty sure Class 2 is about all that is available for 32 GB micro SD card (I could be wrong). Class rating have to do with how fast a card can read and write. If I was shooting HD video I would go to a class 6 probably (do not know if this is needed or not). Most comments I have read say a class 2 is okay for a cell phone.
[Captivate General] rodimus_prime:
i just put a 32gb in works fine except for playing 1.5gb movie files from it, i have to put those on the internal memory for some reason?
[Captivate General] mterrence5:
there is a 32gb class 6. Around $200. Im sure its awesome if you have a money tree. I got a 16gb class 4 for around $44. Playing some 700mb avi episodes of Dexter at 960x544 i downloaded off the web a few year back i have no lag in video or sound.

[Captivate General] nbs11:
Thank you I didn't actually add that link it was from systoxity, but i will fix it.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
I Fixed it :)
[Captivate General] Rad_Fishy:
A few small things:

Intel should be intel.

Under CPU Optimization:

"Samsung’s CPU is set by default the run at 1gHz."

The should be to.

Sideloading:

"(don’t forget that after you install it from the market you still have to go to your app drawer and run busybox once so it installs)."

Should this be after you download it from the market?

ClockworkMod Recovery:

"ClockworkMod written for us by a developer that goes by the name of Koush"

Missing is.

"This gent puts a ton of work into helping us captivate owners out"

Replace puts with put and Capitalize Captivate.

Changing Your Messaging Ringtone:

"well the ones that matter anyway.."

Extra period.

Other than that, excellent guide. I'll definitely be using it when my Captivate arrives.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
Thanks! I fixed all those errors but I'm not gonna upload the new version just yet because I will keep finding more errors so it just seems wasteful. I did not actually write most of the guide myself I just formatted it so there may be some mistakes I didn't pick up on.

[Captivate General] ask_j:
Hi,

Thanks for publishing this. It looks very useful, similar to Energy ROM.. But I am very new to Android phones (trying this on Samsung Captivate from AT&T, bought yesterday). I am running windows 7 ultimate 64bit and I exactly followed this guide. But somehow I am still not able to see the sd card. I tried placing the update.zip at Computer\SGH-I897\Phone and shut down the phone and tried restarting the phone by holding the up/down keys as well as power button. But after selecting reinstall packages it said could not find /sdcard/update.zip.. Pls held. Again very sorry if I did some mistake..
[Captivate General] nbs11:
The SD card is simply the root directory of your phone. You do not need to open a folder, it is the highest folder you can place it in. Hope that helps
[Captivate General] ask_j:
Somehow it was not able to find the sdcard root. Then I realized that you mentioned something called as Droid Explorer, I searched for it and installed it on my PC. But when I opened Droid Explorer, my device was not recognized, then I clicked on link on the explorer window, upon watching that video I enabled the USB Debugging, then I was able to see my device, then I selected connect to my device. After that I saw an explorer but it had empty root and I was not able to copy anything. There was a menu button at the top row named "Transfer to device or Copy to device" I selected that and selected update.zip file and tried to transfer. Something happened but still explorer was empty. Then from my phone Top slide down menu I selected mount USB storage and I started seeing windows explorer on my PC. Then apart from other folders I could see a folder sd in the root. Then I again put update.zip in the root.

Then followed the restart sequence, this time it found the file but exited after Signal 7. It was trying to asert something but could not find the correct model number I guess. My cell phone's model number is Samsung i897.

Please help

I did not write the PC instructions, so I can not help you (I only have a Mac). But the person who did can probably help you his username is systoxity.

Because not enough errors were found to make it worthwhile to update the PDF i will wait till tomorrow to fix the minor errors.
[Captivate General] AllTheWay:
Good source of information

Thank you for putting this together. I am going to sticky this for the time being.
[Captivate General] rp88:
For installing the latest version of busy box, you should include that before the instructions for running titanium backup...the latest version of busybox installed from the market will work with titanium backup so theres no need to have to click the "problems" button...this way you wont have to do the busybox download step twice...should also save a few megs since titanium backup wont have its own copy of busybox installed :) BTW nice guide
[Captivate General] S4NDM4NN:
You can also just mount the phone memory using windows explorer and move the file over. I was never able to get droid explorer to transfer the file. It always said it went but then was never there.

Anyway all I did was connected just as I was going to connect to kies but then when windows asked me what I wanted to do I clicked on open file view and dropped updated.zip on my phone.

Only issue that I had with rooting was I accidentally opened the file in windows(winrar). After I moved the file over it found it and attempted to install it but then exited with an error(do not remember exact error), but had to do with mounting. Anyway I re-downloaded file and saw file size was different. After I moved the file over again everything went great. I still haven't removed bloat-ware and such but thats next on the agenda.

Also I was on windows 7 64 bit, saw some other users in other threads saying they had issues connecting the phone. Everything so far has worked great for me :)

Thank you very much for this handy pdf file!

Somelinks aren't working

First of all I have to say very good guide for noobs!

1. when I downloaded the update.zip folder I didn't work I guess because the name of Samsung captivate is not in the folder or something. So I just downloaded the other file from the forums.

2. Link to CPU optimization doesn't work.

3. I downloaded the droid explorer. It connected to my phone but I was unable to transfer anything. So I just tapped on the USB connected in the notification bar and mounted the phone. This allowed me to use windows explorer to transfer files. I believe one can transfer files by selecting the option of Samsung Kies under USB settings.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
I got all your feedback. It will all be corrected by tomorrow night.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
Cool guide however the rumor is the GPS only gets turned on when pulling up an App that uses it, so that step in the "battery saving" section might not be necessary.

Also you may want to replace Market Enabler with Market Access. It's a rehash of Market Enabler but also has a Set on Boot option that keeps it persistent versus being reset each time.
[Captivate General] warri:
You also Might want to add a Tips/Tricks Section..

Question about the 'ClockworkMod' section. I would like to do as close to a complete backup as possible before I start modding stuff. If I do things in order of this guide, will the backup I create have all those mods done to it? If so, can I just do 'ClockworkMod' first and then do the rest?

Didn't work on AT&T Captivate

Droid Explorer connects to device but doesn't see any files. Does not copy any files.

Copied update.zip using Kies, ran reinstall packages. Install aborted couldn't find product/build ID for SGH-I897. Update.zip file only has GT-I5800, GT-I9000, SGH-T959
[Captivate General] ask_j:
anyone please help with this

Hi,

I have the same question. The issue is that I have already deleted bunch of apps and made the modifications until this section. The question I have is that I have a friend who has the same phone, can I somehow get his ROM and prepare that as a backup? or if anyone has a same stock ROM? I am only worried because what If I need to goto AT&T for any warranty issue?

Thanks
[Captivate General] systoxity:
Hey guys, you're welcome to everyone who said thanks for the guide. I really hope it helps. For those of you who are confused, dont use droid explorer to put update.zip in the root of your sd card. use your "my computer" icon.

secondly, as long as you follow the guide and root your phone, you can backup with clockworkmod b4 u do any of the uninstalling apps or etc.

That being said, the only thing i would change about this is, you gotta talk to people b4 re releasing their stuff. i understand you added some stuff to it, but I wasn't quite ready for this to go out to the wild (kinda a perfectionist).

Anyway, I'm glad so many of you found this helpful, its your ball now roll with it :).
[Captivate General] nbs11:
Oh I'm sorry about releasing it, I was worried that because your post was getting buried in the forum that it would not get the necessary attention. If you want I can send you the edited DOCX and you can repost it again with your revisions. I wasn't planning on keeping this updated anyways past tonight. I just wanted to post my version we the kinks could get edited out (and it worked some people (thanks) literally helped fix dozens of errors.
[Captivate General] bird333:
Droid explorer question. Droid Explorer seems to detect my phone, but I can't navigate to the 'update.zip' file on my computer. All I see on the screen is a root folder on the left and a blank screen on the right? How do I get this file to the phone? My os is Win7 x64 Ultimate.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
bird dont use droid explorer to upload update.exe use my computer.

no prob nbs, i'll be droppin by leavin edits, if you could add them to the pdf that would be doing people a big favor.

for starters, in the root section of they guide, they aren't supposed to be running droid explorer to upload update.exe to root. have them enable usb debugging, pull down the notification menu, click "usb connected" and select mount. Then they will see the storage in my computer and can just double click it and paste the update right in.

droid explorer is for sideloading and making changes in the phones data, its not outlined how to get it fully functional untill the sideloading apps section. Also, i would put in how droid explorer is different from sideload wonder in that it have much more functionality.

lastly, you should take the functional update.zip from the how to root thread, rename it to "update.zip" and upload it here at the bottom for simplicity's sake.
[Captivate General] ask_j:
Thanks a lot

thanks for replying. I have one more question regarding contacts. Is there any way of copying photo contacts from Tilt 2/Outlook to Samsung Captivate?
[Captivate General] systoxity:
im pretty sure if you have photo's and you sync them to google contacts they carry over..
[Captivate General] nbs11:
I posted a new PDF version and I will PM you a link to the DOCX.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
naw dont worry about it, i'll just bring things that need editing or adding to your attention in this thread. Keep up the good job :)

*edit* thanks for the link

also dont forget to get the working update.zip attached to your first post and instruct them to dl it from here to prevent confusion.
[Captivate General] bird333:
When I right-click on the phone the only options are 'open' and 'create shortcut'. Open just causes Droid Explorer to open. Wow, this is frustrating.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
I wasn't planning on updating this forever, but I guess I will keep doing it for a little while and then I will publicly post the Docx so either you or some other person can continue the upgrades.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
sounds good.
[Captivate General] bird333:
Well I got the file on the phone but I am getting an error 'status 7'????
[Captivate General] systoxity:
not the right file. and make sure after you download it you change its title to update.zip

also, follow the directions in prepping your phone and prepping your computer. that should let you double double click your phone's memory in my computer to open up the root of the sd card. also amke sure you followed the instructions stating dont use an external sd card while following this guide.

double check all your steps.

here is the correct update.zip http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=725555

in the first post of that thread you'll see an attachment. download that and rename it to update

if you are on a mac rename it to update.zip

Wiki

Would it make sense to create a wiki that could be updated by all for the Captivate?
[Captivate General] pacman1134:
I downloaded the root, renamed it update.zip, and then i am dragging it onto my phone just in any old place... I know it says to drag it into ROOT DIRECTORY, but WHERE THE F*** is that?!!! im on a mac and new to android please get at me!
[Captivate General] nbs11:
The root directory is what it naturally mounts to (I am also on a Mac) in other words, lets say your phone is mounted. You open it and without clicking on any folders inside you are at the root directory.
[Captivate General] alkiter:
All right! That did it, worked great on SGH-I897 now.

Thanks for the great guide!
[Captivate General] systoxity:
You're welcome akiter, im glad you got it worked out.

Pacman, if you followed the instructions under prepping your phone and mounted your sd card, then just open the phone from ur mac and paste update.zip right in. "root" merely means base of the folder. Think about going to your c drive, that would be the root of your computer. Each folder in the c drive would be a branch, effectively making up a "tree"

cambridge4sale, it would be nice to have a wiki as well, anything to facilitate the diffusion of knowledge to newer users is a big help. If you have experience with wiki's id be happy to work in tandem with you to get a proper one set up. P.M. me.

NB, in the faq section, whenever you have time, you should clarify about what it means to place update.zip into the root of the sd card. It seems to be a point o confusion for many people.

Also, don't forget about uploading update.zip to your first post as an attachment. They got that "7" error because of having a wrong file.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
Did the updated link also not work? Also, as someone brought up this would be awesome as a wiki. Would you like me to set it up as a wiki alternatively (obviously it would have to be on a external server because XDA Wiki is down). Its your call because after all you did write it.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
You know you can attach this stuff straight to your post right?

Who ever asked if rooting will impede ota updates, you can always remove root if its a problem.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
Yes, but do you think I should create a Samsung Captivate How to Wiki. That seems like it would be pretty awesome. And as people come up with things on the forum they can add them to the wiki
[Captivate General] loweb1:
I think a wiki would be a good idea. I wouldn't mind helping out.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
I'm actually starting it now, but before I upload any of it I want to run it by systoxity because it is technically his say.

EDIT *And yes you can help out considering it is a Wiki*
[Captivate General] phonerrr:
Could someone please confirm the correct update.zip file to use. The PDF doc lists

a link that downloads (SGH-959 Root Update) while the other link is (SGH-I897 Root Update)
[Captivate General] nbs11:
Truthfully I'm not sure because I am already rooted any I forgot what I used. However, you can just Google how to root Samsung Captivate and find a different root file that will work.
