Call up your CC company, they'll get in touch with Google, and you'll have your refund/replacement asap.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stickerbob:
I bought a dev phone 3 days after it was available and it was still the amoled.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Thanks for the info!

I even contacted the company responsible for delivering the nexus one dev phone, and they told me that they haven't heard anything about an nexus one with slcd.

Well it was just some women from the customer support, i don't expect them to know such details but at least it seems like there are currently enough AMOLED screen N1 available trough dev program.

Good for those who still want AMOLED, bad for those who can't wait to give away their amoled version for an slcd with much better resolution....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
Apparently google is out of stock.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shahpur.Azizpour:
oh really. so no more dev phone N1 available? that could mean that we will soon see the Nexus One SLCD emerge!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techlogik:
Did you pay with a credit card? Then tell them it is broke/DOA, you aren't paying for it and want your money back, get them involved.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrawnPoBoy:
Sorry to thread jack, but if you really want the Nexus One with an SLCD, your best best might be to find a way to purchase a Telus HTC Desire from Canada. It's only $449 off contract though I'm not sure how to actually buy one if you aren't a Telus client... ebay or kijiji.ca maybe?

http://www.telusmobility.com/en/AB/htc_desire/index.shtml?INTCMP=ILCq3htc

It's basically an N1 with an SLCD, only it's significantly cheaper, and it's still possible to run Cyanogen on it if you don't like Sense UI.

Edit: This phone is for AT&T 3G so if you are on T-Mobile this might not be useful to you.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Well I can get an HTC desire with slcd in Germany too. But will I be able to unlock the bootloader so I.can flash the stock froyo Rom and get all further updates OTA? Like on a real nexus one? I'm not that much interested in custom roms...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hbkmog:
Don't know why everybody wants SLCD. It's no better than AMOLED. Search for videos on youtube SLCD vs. AMOLED, the latter one is an obvious win.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shahpur.Azizpour:
The videos are a bad joke and nonsense, because you don't see the difference of resolution quality. The only thing you see is that AMOLEDS have deeper blacks but that's a given. I had a Motorola milestone, so I have a real live comparison between Amoled vs. lcd. And I know how much better lcds reproduces text and natural colours. Don't rely on bad YouTube videos to judge this.

This is just my opinion so hope nobody gets mad anyways I have a Nexus and my dad has a Droid and I think the nexus one makes the Droid screen look like crap and he agrees
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shahpur.Azizpour:
That's perfectly fine. Some people prefer the over saturation of those AMOLEDS. But regarding resolution I just have to say one word: pentiles.

[Vibrant General] vinnydakid:
Regarding Nandroid and apps I backed up with Titanium, do those remain on the phone when you wipe to install a new ROM or do you have to put those on your computer and replace them after you wipe?
[Vibrant General] vinnydakid:
Bump... Anyone? Please?
[Vibrant General] ArbitrageMan:
The backups are kept on your SD card, not your internal storage. So as long as you only wipe your internal storage, the backups etc will remain.
[Vibrant General] vinnydakid:
Thanks so much!
[Vibrant General] vinnydakid:
Actually, I just looked at my SD card and no backups are there, just the movie that came with the phone.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
He's wrong nandroid backups done in Clockwork are stored in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/....
[Vibrant General] The K-Zoo Kid:
I was actually wondering the same thing...
[Vibrant General] p()()pypants:
They are actually contained in the internal storage card but you can specify a diff directory in your external sd card if you prefer, it can be changed in your settings.

Either way they standard wipe only effects the section off the internal storage used by your phones system/data n apps and will not effect the internal storage you put in the"root" folder /sdcard, more specially in your case /sdcard/titaniumbackups (titanium) or/sdcard/backups/apps (astro) should survive.... Nandroid restores, flashes through clockwork of new roms and manual wipes of system, cache or data shouldn't hurt your astro or titanium backups.

Any full reformat of the card or as I understand it reflashing back to stock 2.1 with odin will kill your nandroid restore points but I don't know what effect that level of reflashing will have on your backups but when in doubt back up to a computer is never a bad idea.

Pooped from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA app...

Dont mind the skidmarks...
[Vibrant General] vinnydakid:
Thank you!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pulpoff:
I have made this theme and I think its not bad.

Feel free to try it out ! :)

P.S. it only works correctly on Android 1.6 E10i/E15i firmware

Instructions :

1. Root is a must!

2. adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/fr-black.apk

3. adb shell

4. su

5. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

6. busybox cp /sdcard/fr-black.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

7. chmod 755 /system/framework/framework-res.apk

8. reboot your X10 mini

apps.zip has standard apps with HTC icons, extract them in /system/app/

If your phone gets stuck on booting after playing with framework or some other stuff, I've found a way to repair it without reflash :

restart phone, connect it to usb

in adb shell run rootshell command again to gain root (wise to keep it after rooting), the "su" won't work cause it depends on gfx libs and they are not started yet..

mount sdcard with this command : mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard

and put your backed files where they belong.

Good luck!

27/10/10 new version of my black theme for X8 (E15i) released.

25/09/10 Updated framework-res, some small details.

27/09/10 Added colourful theme, status icons are not b/w any more!

29/09/10 "Black" theme updated, now its more or less final!

07/10/10 Uploaded somewhat updated framework, not sure if its better or worse, so keeping the old one too. newframe.rar

P.S. don't forget to backup anything important to you, Sony Backup tool works pretty well btw.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rylo:
screenshot^^?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
Will it replace the default Blue theme or install as separate theme ?

Will it occupy additional Phone memory or replace Blue theme without consuming additional mem.

Lastly a screenshot please.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eseb0:
It replaces it, but be careful. It's best to back up the default framework-res.apk just in case.

This looks very interesting. Pics would be very nice though ;P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Mitchio:
Any way to do just the status bar?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eseb0:
Looks good. Any chance you could get rid of the remaining blue? :P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] noel_leon:
Thanks! I was getting really tired of the glaring blue. Much appreciated!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
How to backup the Framework-res.apk?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eseb0:
Just copy it over to the SD card. This might work, but I've never tried it myself so not really sure.

su

cp /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard/backup-framework-res.apk

If not, someone else already posted a copy of the original file in another thread anyway :P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] oversim:
pulpoff, great job :)

I like this Framework-res.apk ! (but also the grey one is not bad... boh are better than SE blue!!! :) )
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anoopverma1:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] thabobo:
Nice Job man!

Looks great!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] albertine:
Wow ! Very nice work !

Many thanks :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mperkovic:
I like the look of the theme, thanks! Is there a way to enter these commands on a macos system or is this only available via windows? I am on a trip for the next month and only have my macbook with me, no windows installed on this system yet.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
The last step is optional and by "standard apps" you mean to say the default apps of X10 mini which have been modded with HTC icon. Isn't it?

BTW I have installed your theme. I find a small problem. In some screens a whitish font is displayed on whitish background making it difficult to read. Say, when I pull down the "Notification" screen the "Clear" button on top right is displayed with whitish font on whitish background. Is it a problem in my phone (should not be I think) or its general. If its general - can it be made more readable by darkening the font? I am talking about your first version. Meantime, it seems you have uploaded another modified version in which I don't know if you have taken care of this.

Anyway, yours is a very good attempt to change the theme. Thanks for your effort we have a option to go for a second theme.

Lastly, is there a way to keep multiple themes installed and select one as and when mood changes?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eseb0:
Installed it myself, looks awesome, just a few issues:

- A lot of buttons have dark backgrounds and dark blue text which is hard to read, like the Market Install, Open, etc buttons.

- The clear button is white text on a light grey background like the person above said, which is also hard to read.

- Tabs on apps look odd, for example the Dialer app has white icons on the light grey BG for the inactive tabs. Other apps like Nimbuzz have white inactive icons and black active icons, making both hard to see.

Great work though, I'm glad to be rid of that nasty blue ^^
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
What about RAM consumptions. It seems that this custom Black theme is consuming a bit more RAM than the default blue. ANy opinion on this.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] FiDra:
Thank you :D

I changed my phone to UK Generic firmware and now it's 1.2.A.1.174 :D

The alarm work fine and theme is so beautiful :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
I am gonna do the same!

i'm so excited! :p

@pulpoff Thanks for this theme!:D

wish me luck guys! :p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mdelolmo:
Looks great

Hi!

Thanks for the excelente job, it definetely looks better, I just pushed the framework-res.apk and I was wondering what else I should replace in order to get out some of the remaining blue elements: virtual keyboard on screen, Google search widget, the power management widget, some icons on the notification bar...

I would like to contribute as long as I'm able, just need some tips :P

Cheers
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] draco_ag:
I tried to replace the Phone.apk file in /system/apps directory ans i almost ****ed up my phone.

After phone restart i wasn't able to do anything, enter menu or any other option.

Is there any additional step required? Any chmod command needed?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Passaralho:
M8,

Which app you use as power management widget? Don't have and can't find nothing like that... Maybe I'm too noob! :)

Gracias!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
same here!:(

have you solved yours yet..?

i dont wanna reflash and lose everything...

i just wanna restore my original Phone.apk...

a little help anyone..?

preferably a dummy guide..?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] draco_ag:
Yes i fixed it.

I restored old Phone.apk and also removed black htc theme and back to blue one.

To restore Phone.apk You should have original one, just put it on Your sdcard.

To restore it just connect phone in USB debugging mode and do the following steps in command line:

1. adb shell

2. su

3. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

4. cat /sdcard/Phone.apk > /system/app/Phone.apk

5. chmod 755 /system/app/Phone.apk

6. reboot your X10 mini

Good luck!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Fidauz95:

Good luck!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Pau1p:
Hi puploff,

thanks a lot for the skin! I spent the whole day learning how to use the android sdk. I had some problems with rooting and stuff but with a lot of help form google(and xda) I managed to root my phone and install this skin. Im very happy with it. Thanks a lot! the blak is much cooler then the blue(and you save display energy i guess haha.)

Now I only need to change the bootanimation. I already found the folder from the se animation but i havent been able to change these files yet.

thanks mate!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
try this within adb shell

cat /sdcard/fr-black.apk > /system/framework/framework-res.apk

then just follow on to step 7.

cheers!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] draco_ag:
I pick up my previos question:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ravencz:
Hey, I just wanted to ask, are those modified applications working fine on X10 Mini Pro (U20i) with 1.2.A.1.174 as well? Thanks in advance ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] draco_ag:
Any news in this case?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] adamo86:
Hi I'm running your newframe on my x10 mini pro with the latest firmware it seems to be running fine.

Thanks a lot its a nice theme.

You mentioned to run system panel light and check cpu usage how do I do this.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
Donwload system panel when you open it upperleft is a green circle with procents under it
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:
i have tried both frames and there is a bit blue in the top status bar, i see it then the phone in index files on sd card, under the icon the colour is not the same as the status bar
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ScootyPuffJr1:
Any chance of using the analog battery in this thread in your theme pulpoff?

Cheers
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] arcatarc:
Get it!i've make it for me(but i share it with all)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ScootyPuffJr1:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] draco_ag:
Accroding to newframe there is still a problem with blue background in notification bar - first one for new message icon and also for music player.

Please fix it if possible :)

Regards,

Draco
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pulpoff:
Really?

I think its ugly. use circlebatt one if you prefer..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dmbardal:
I love this. I hate the blue theme.

However, I still see that there are some unfinished icons for the dock or whatever its called.

The download arrow still got blue edges, same with the 'datatraffic' or what its on english.

I used the 'newframe' if it matters.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] langeman:
did not work with black framework on my mini, after copying new framework to system the phone rebooted by itself, and got stuck in startup..all i see is Sony Ericsson text...

wont respond to power on/off button,

i can still access the phone via adb so hopefully i'll have it running again soon!

sucks to do a clean reinstall :P

thx for this, i'll use it to try and recover my phone :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Devilover:
Hey all, when I type

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

cat /sdcard/custom/Phone.apk > /system/app/Phone.apk

chmod 755 /system/app/Phone.apk

reboot, my phone boot but I have lot of com.phone.android error any idea ?)

edit: busybox cp doesn't works for me (

I think it's because I have mini and not mini pro... :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
haven't tried the custom APK's yet...i also have the mini pro...

anyone else tried it..?

i remember trying it before the update and my phone got messed up...:p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cleobis:
Hi, this is a great theme....soooo much better than the pesky blue ....I installed it and everything working fine except market! It keeps force closing when I try to download stuff....tryed with original vending that I had in a back up and still the same happens...any help?

Thks in advance:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] makii187:
Hey, im new here. I dont dont know how to follow those instructions on the first page.. never done done this before!

i downloaded android sdk. but i cant start adb....

1. Root is a must! = done

2. adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/fr-black.apk = how?

3. adb shell = what?

4. su = what again:P

what do i do with these lines??

5. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

6. busybox cp /sdcard/fr-black.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

7. chmod 755 /system/framework/framework-res.apk

8. reboot your X10 mini
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bimasakti85:
Pulpoff, after using this theme, I notice that my market always force close if I want to download or update my program. Is there any solution for this ? Btw, I use the default one for vending.apk.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bimasakti85:
Just figured it out. After uninstalling the updates for my market app (from the settings-->Applications-->Manage applications), and revert to the factory default market,the problem solved. Anyway, thanx for the great theme.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] draco_ag:
Pulpoff, please modify the Phone.apk to remove blue background from notification bar icons.

I found the blue background in message icon, also in animated download icon.

Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
I assume you're using Windows Vista.

Good Way

right-click to My Computer>Properties>Advanced System Setting>Environment Variables>Double click the "Path" variable>Enter ";C:\WHERE\YOU\EXTRACTED\ANDROID\SDK\tools">click Okay

Go to command prompt (Windows+R>cmd) you can now enter adb commands anywhere (try typing adb and if something comes up, you're doing it right)

or

Easy Way

Enter command prompt

type cd C:\WHERE\YOU\EXTRACTED\ANDROID\SDK\tools

in there you can enter adb commands.

Hope this helps

But I recommend you don't mess with the framework-res if you don't know what you're doing. Chance of bricking your phone is high if you don't know what you're doing. Especially with su.

OT: is the phone still recoverable if I accidentally type

su

rm -rf

in the root directory in the terminal emulator?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
Or

The easiest way -

Copy adb.exe to system32 directory and AdbWinApi.dll to windows directory..

ADB will be available on command prompt.

How can I edit Phone.apk file myself?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pulpoff:
Open it as zip archive, in ubuntu just double-click file, than replace any png's u find in it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
I cant get market to download anything either. Cou you describe a bit more what you did to get it working?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Nash976:
Did this theme works with a X10i ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] draco_ag:
I spent a few hours and i fixed the black layout a little :)

I have updated files and I can share them with others, also within this topic.

Anyone interested in it?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hypersnap:
Hey everybody...

Im totally new in this android area and rooting a phone.

But i got this x10 mini pro, and want to get this black theme instead of that blue.

But im a danish user and latest firmware is 1.1.A.0.8, does that mean it can not work?

Wich root guide will you use (the most easy one), read about some one-click root but dont know what to use?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
cheers!:)

i'm in!:p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
to learn more of how to get compatible update...go here...

for rooting, you can either use Exploid or One-Click...

hope that helps!:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hypersnap:
Yeah i understand a little more now. thanks

But inst there some kind of step by step guide to everything?

Like whats important to do before i start something (backup, what to use for that)?

And maybe some guide with a little pictures, im not so strong in reading english :(

But using pc companion now to see if i can update firmware to 1.2, then i dont have to do anything after the root to keep it danish and as it is?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] patton82:
I installed this theme in my x10 mini pro without using any pc :D

downloaded apk in sdcard, using Terminal emulator:

- su

- busybox cp /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard/old-fr.apk

- busybox cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

before I could change permission to framework-res, the X10 reboot by itself but all works well

It will be great :)
