[HTC Aria General] Anthony1s:
I'll be getting my Aria tomorrow. I don't mind the chrome and I think the screws are unique. I didn't know those buttons weren't backlit tho. That kinda sucks.
[HTC Aria General] eortizr:
The buttons are backlit,,, they just don't have the circle around them like in the EVO 4 they are the same as the Incredible, and I do like the changes,,, the original design had this shiny back cover that looks kind of cheap... the new backcover looks better.
[HTC Aria General] Anthony1s:
Ah, thanks for the heads up. To tell you the truth, I haven't even touched an Aria yet. Just did a lot of research before buying and it was the best option for me.

I like the flat black better too. Seems less prone to visibility of scratches. Is the shiny one also the rubberized paint? I think the rubberized paint on the released one was a great idea.
[HTC Aria General] uberamd:
The non AT&T branded HTC I was using wasn't glossy on the back. It was flat matte but it had black body screws and a black volume rocker. It made the device look very sleek, nothing stood out and tried to catch the eye.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
Does anyone actually own one of these non-branded ones? If so, please contact me.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] genuser:
Is there a primer somewhere on how themes work for noobies? I have rooted and installed Fresh 2.3.3. Started experimenting with Sense v.s. LauncherPro. What I am struggling with is where the boundaries are between ROMs, launchers, themes and even apps.

Any help or links to read would be much appreciated.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alijones:
Hi, I am sorry I have to open another thread but I am very desperate!

I used "One Click Root" to root my SGS and worked great!

After I installed Titanium Backup to removed some default apps. So far so good.

The problem comes when i installed Clockwork Recovery to backup my Rom before removing the apps. I followed the guide, the phone rebooted but didn't go to the new recovery screen (yes, I had the update.zip in the right place). After rebooting the Titanium Backup said I didn't have a rooted rom.

I runned "One Click Root and Unroot" many times and wiped my phone to stock. After rooting the Titanium Backup keeps telling me the same.

How can I fix this? I am afraid this is not my only problem since my phone can't connect anymore to my AP (it can't get an ip address).

Please help me!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lalaca:
What version of firmware, plus any custom rom packages and/or kernel mods, were you using? It's hard to help without knowing some really basic info like that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alijones:
I have stock rom JF5 with update-1. All other apps seem to see my root priviledges. But the titanium can't! And I cant find to fix My AP connection problem. Is tere a way to REALLY clean my SGS or to fix this? All I did was the steps I said before...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ickyboo:
Maybe you need latest busybox installed. Do a search on forums for version 1.17. Also email the developer as titanium backup has has lots of problems on age for me with restores and only the 3.3. 5.2 only kinda works for me
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alijones:
Will do. Now i will go to bed (it's 5 a.m. in Portugal) and tomorrow i'll give you feedback. hope it works. I should have removed the apps before... now I have to endure with them still and worst with no way to remove them... Thanks for you help!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alijones:
Still no go, tried everything. Can anyone tell me why this even happened? Is there another app to fix this? Please help!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neferym:
my response is HS . . . .
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alijones:
HS? What do you mean?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] monzablue16v:
Have you tried reflashing it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alijones:
No I didn't because I could't store my stock rom. Would an upgrade to Froyo (the official one) fix this? I can't connect to any wi-fi network (can't seem to fix an IP address...).

By using a terminal emulator can I reconfigure my wi-fi configuration or IP aquisition? How could I do this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] moonstruxx:
I'm expering the same problem. i use samset 1.9d with it's lag fix. I guess the problem is that TB dosen't follow the sysmlinks. ATM i try to rewrite the init script, so that it bind mounts the direcotries in data...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] odyssey61:
The update.zip file isnt still in the root directory of the sdcard by any chance?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
look at the bottom of my one click root app for instructions to fix titanium. launch titanium then choose problem? button bottom right then choose yes do it..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alijones:
Those were the stpes I followed the first time and it worked great. After trying Clock Recovery then Titanium stoped working. I managed to fix my WLAN problem (so so). I can use Wi-Fi if I connect with a static IP but for that i need to connect to the network first with a computer so I can get the DNS IP. It's more trouble but at least my Wi-Fi works again!

Still no go on Titanium....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xyloncrea:
So I tried to root my Evo and now I think it's fubar'd, I try to restore it and get an error where it says that it does not have a or can't find the restore file. Also, when I try to run Unrevoked on my PC, Evo can't seem to find PCIM36 file.

Does anyone have an idea what I can do to fix this error? Help me please, I don't want to have return this awesome phone. :(

So I managed get the file reinstalled by locating and renaming it!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] BigJayDogg3:
The thread is far from final. I still have a few things I would like to work out design wise, but its finished enough to be posted.

The Pimp My Captivate thread exists, but the OP has admitted to no longer having access. Not only is a thread far easier to update, but it is also more user friendly in my opinion. If you’re just getting your phone I suggest checking out that thread.

This is my first time doing one of these, so any suggestions on arrangement would be appreciated. I'm modeling this off of the one in the Rhodium forum (skyler17 and this is the thread).

I plan on updating the post, but I'm not installing every application on my phone to provide information on it. When you suggest an addition, please provide a few words about the app and why you think its notable and any requirements or known incompatibilities the app has (requires root, another application is needed, Vibrant vs. Captivate, etc). For example:

QR codes may get added later, but not right now.

This first batch of apps came from the pimp my captivate pdf. Not all of them are here since I do think there is good information in the pdf, and you should read it.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] BigJayDogg3:
The only way i know how is to use google calendar online and have it sync with your phone.

Though i don't use the calendar app on the phone to schedule repeating events very often, so someone with.more experience may have found a way to do it.

To do it on the site TR and MWF events have a preset. If you need to do something different though, select weekly and then select the days you need to repeat.

Sorry i couldn't be of more help.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
It's okay, thanks anyway.. I've been using Gemini Calendar actually and it's pretty good so far.. has some kinks to iron out although it does have the "repeat these certain days" feature.. which is great for putting down my college schedule.

So I guess

--RECOMMENDED--

Gemini Calendar

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dster:
I'm using a rooted/flashed Telus Hero on the Rogers network. When on the Telus network all of my network connections were fine.

Now, on the Rogers network, I get the icon "3G" when the network connection is inactive, and "H" when it is active. On Telus it was always "H".

When checking email or using most apps, the network icon switches immediately, and the data connection responds quickly.

But when using any web browser, frequently (but not always) the icon does not change, and the network connection times out. I can fix this by forcing a gmail sync, but it is a pain.

Does anyone know what could cause this, or what might fix it? Are there different OS level network behaviors for the browser vs. apps in Android?

many thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nalinbhatt:
Hi,

All apps are installed on my 'Internal phone storage' which is capable of storing only 1.87 GB. However, my 'Internal SD card' has 13.02GB storage capacity. So is there any way to store installed apps to my 'Internal SD card' or 'External SD card'?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Frostshock:
In Froyo if the app supports it, you can copy it to the SD card. I'd imagine once Froyo is out on more than 3 phones you'll see more apps update to allow it.

Unless there's another hack, you can always flash a Froyo Galaxy S ROM, but I'm not sure if they play nice with our 850 HSPA band.

Edit: Oh, I kind of forgot about Apps2SD. Not sure if it's been put on the Galaxy S but before Froyo there was that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nalinbhatt:
So I can't even save them to internal SD. This SUX. 'Internal SD' has 13 GB space where as the 'Internal phone Storage' (where all my apps are saved) has only 1.87GB space available. With 10-15 apps, it has already sucked 1.12 GB out of 1.87 GB. Why was this thing made like this in first place.

To be clear again, I am not asking if apps can be saved to External SD. I am asking if they can be saved to Internal SD coz mine are saved on 'Internal phone storage' (which allows only 1.87GB)

Is this a problem with my phone or general with all Android 2.1 phones ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] masterotaku:
Well I have about 3 times as many apps and still have 1.37 gb free so I'd say something else is going on . Relative to older android devices we have a veritable crap ton of app space.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nalinbhatt:
1.37 GB out of how much? And if we are not allowed to store apps to Internal SD what am I going to do with 13+ GB?
