I'd be more than happy to pay $20 but I would like to see it in person first.

Hmmm

edit : not worth it
[Vibrant General] pittphan:
I like it! I don't know if I want silver or white. How dirty do they get?

sent from my Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] CapitalM3:
I'm in. From my past DIY experience I have to try it 9 times before I get a result I'm halfway pleased with. I had looked at Phantom Skinz and they're $20 with a coupon so having it cut by hand and done by someone with experience for the same price seems like a bargain to me.

I'll get in touch with you via your website shortly!

Edit: Payment sent. Look forward to seeing your work.
[Vibrant General] Hrshycro:
More photos. ;)

Thanks for all the orders so far!
[Vibrant General] vikramdhani:
I am interested as well but wait for some real users feedback before i pull the trigger on this
[Vibrant General] Hrshycro:
I sent yours back today. :)
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
lol, looks nice but I dont see the use for it since it doesnt protect the sides or front rim of the screen.

whats with the weird grass shots...lol
[Vibrant General] kizer:
Yard Porn. :eek:

I'm guessing he was showing it in a better light than on top of a brown table.

From reading through that Evo thread it appears he not only cuts it to fit, but uses a heat gun to insure the wrap conforms to the shape of the cover.
[Vibrant General] daobn24:
Can you do the white cf now? I'm very interested
[Vibrant General] Hrshycro:
Brown table top...wahhhh? I don't think I've ever posted photos with a cover on a brown table top.

Yeah, people wanted more shots of it, so I did it in natural light.

Yes, that's pretty much how I do it. Put it on, heat shrink it, cut it, re-heat shrink it, re-cut it, file any burs, ect..

Yes, 2 or 3 people have said that they wanted it, but no one has actually ordered it yet. When you order, just put in the paypal note which color you'd like, address, then send it out to me.

White vinyl on an evo 4g:
[Vibrant General] turbosix:
i love the idea but i really dont like not having a case, i wonder how this would stick to a TPU case... you could even roll the material around the edges towards the inside to keep it from peeling. hmm.
[Vibrant General] Hrshycro:
Send me a link. I know the stuff doesn't stick to innocases.
[Vibrant General] eff0rtless:
My decision to purchase this was to provide my vibrant with a new look and a better grip on the back of the device. the slick and plasticy back cover was just okay for me. I'll report back once i get my new cover!
[Vibrant General] sareen:
Can you do leather effect? Cause tht would be awesome
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
Wow I must say there is a lot of hate going on in this thread. I would hope our Vibrant community would be better than that, but I guess with this popular of a phone you are bound to get some asshat kids.

Anyway OP I must say thats some top notch work and for the price is a really good deal. I think the white looks really sharp but the phone already looks like too much like the iphone. A white back would make it even worse. When I get paid might send in for a black back. One question though, does this effect reception at all?
[Vibrant General] LatinSilEighty:
hey quick question how good does that vinyl stick to the soft touch hard cases? like this http://cgi.ebay.com/Hard-Back-Case-...59-Black-New-/370415560201?pt=PDA_Accessories

It has the feel of that HTC soft touch material that they use on a lot of their phones (like the G1 battery cover), because it doesn't make any sense to me to get the battery cover wrapped if I'm just gonna put a case over it anyways

what you think?

maybe the rubber soft touch coating should be sanded off prior to doing this maybe?

i dont think a TPUcase being wrapped in this would work because the TPU case has too much flex

lol Ive been telling one of my friends that the Vibrant forums are full of little *****ing cry babies, and that i dont remember this many little *****es being on the G1/Mytouch/Nexus/HD2 forums, maybe those are the kind of people the vibrant draws? :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] kizer:
Does the new skin give it a less of a slick surface? I've nearly dropped my phone 3 or 4 times because it tried to shoot out of my hand like a wet bar of soap. I'm guessing there must be a little bit of a texture to it too.

As well my comment earlier about taking photos on a brown table was my way of picking fun at you a little bit, but also saying at least you are not taking photos on a brown table and being creative with your shoots.
[Vibrant General] Hrshycro:
Yes and no. 3M does sell di-noc in a lot of different textures, one of them being leather. I haven't ordered any of it or even seen it.

Yeah, just a little bit on the first page, but it seems to have died off now. ;)

Okay, sounds good. Nope, it's just a plastic vinyl. Nothing that would block the signal anymore than a case; probably less than a case does. Idk wtf that guy was trying to get at that said it would kill the signal...

Not sure. Mine has been on the back of my OEM-Evo battery cover for almost 3 months now; not one side is coming up. So it sticks fine to that type of rubberized matte, but it sure doesn't stick to the black innocase 2 rubberized matte. If you want to take a chance at it, just buy it, have them ship it to me, I'll try it out, if it doesn't work, $1.50 and I'll ship it on to you. ;)

It's definitely less-slick then the vibrant's battery cover. It adds some grip and a really cool feel. As with every battery cover/case, it does get slightly slicker over time from the palm sweat, dirt, ect..

Ohh, okay, gotcha. The first 3 photos are actually in my home-built light box, but even my nikon dslr has a hard time getting the colors/focus right because it's all white and then a pattern. I fix the colors in photoshop though.
[Vibrant General] badaphooko01:
So you can wrap in white right?
[Vibrant General] Hrshycro:
If I ever get an actual payment requesting white, yes, I'll order a piece of it. ;)
[Vibrant General] talltexan:
How well will this take paint and what type of paint would you suggest? I am a dihard Longhorn fan and would love to get a stencil and put a burnt orange longhorn on the white one and be the envy of all my friends during football season. Also i have a friend who has an Evo that would love this same thing if it is possible.
[Vibrant General] Hrshycro:
No clue if paint would stick to this stuff, but probably not very well, it not for very long.
[Vibrant General] Hrshycro:
Please do not place an order for the time being:

I knew doing the vibrant covers would be much more difficult because of the harder corners on them, but after the first once came out quite nicely, I thought that they might come up faster from usage or heat.

Lets take a quite step back...My evo is still rocking the original skin from about 3 months ago; not a single edge has come up. It also gets used more than average everyday and I've left it in the heat for quite some time.

Now back to the first vibrant cover: I got it on Friday, did it that night, but couldn't sent it back until Monday. Since I was worried about the corners, I left it in my car outside all weekend in 95 degree heat/100+ in my car and checked all the edges right before I sent it off; not a single problem. However, when the XDA member received it back today, the corners had come up. Apparently the USPS trucks get realllly hot! Hotter than my car.

I'm going to order some 3M primer, which should fix any problem with the corners. ;) I hadn't ordered it yet since my evo is still like it was on day one, therefore I wasn't worried.

I'll keep everybody posted. ;)
[Vibrant General] sareen:
i hate u america's cause u get 2 covers and extra cool things like sims and avater and less iphonely look while in the uk nada nothing i want to get this done but dont have a spare case to send :(
[Vibrant General] Bernardos70:
What do we have here? That sounds quite interesting, especially since that other cover was just gonna sit inside a drawer until it disintegrated....

Please let me know when you have sorted it all out, I'm quite interested in this.
[Vibrant General] Hrshycro:
Ordered the 3M primer yesterday. Ebay seems to be the only place that will sell less than a case/12 cans at a time, or not charge $45 shipping for one can. ;)

The primer will fix the problem for sure. BTW, I haven't been able to replicate the issues on the corners.
[Vibrant General] ecogeek:
Yeah, but you get guaranteed health care ;)
[Vibrant General] xtzc:
Just saying, they sell cases just like this in Wal-mart for like $12.00 or something like that. It may have been Big lots. I can't remember. That white case looks bad ass btw. T-Mobile stores have a hard pink case and a nice body glove case that i use on mine, it has a real nice grip to it. But the down fall to it is that once you put it on you really dont wanna take it off because you will see that you have to push on the screen pretty damn hard to pull the chrome painted top to take the case off.
[Vibrant General] Bernardos70:
I'm still interested in this. Please keep us (me?) posted. It looks pretty cool and you sound like a stand up guy and the price is quite reasonable.
[Vibrant General] dezvous:
Holy hell, how did I manage to miss this thread, I wasn't aware you were taking orders on the Vibrant covers.

I already ordered a piece of the black and the white to try on my covers. If they don't come out right I'll probably be taking you up on your offer. But wish me luck anyways. :P
[Vibrant General] Hrshycro:
Yes, I'll keep you all up-to-date on this. I got the primer yesterday in the mail and will try it out tonight. In theory, it should permatize the vinyl to the battery cover; we shall see soon enough. :)
[Vibrant General] Bernardos70:
Funnily enough I completely lost this thread, bit thankfully I had opened a tab in opera for your site and came back here and searched for it and found it back, otherwise I would have gotten back to this thread earlier. This is exciting! [/nerd]
[Vibrant General] CapitalM3:
Glad to hear you got the primer in. Can't wait to see my cover!
[Vibrant General] Hrshycro:
Yeah, that stuff is hard to get. It's like $9 to $12 on most websites, but then they make you buy a 12 pack; I found 1 website that sold it by the can...and then $44.89 shipping. I got it on ebay, finally. I don't think the USPS wants you mailing it which is probably why it's so hard to get.

Going to do them now. ;)
[Vibrant General] jkcheng122:
Can't wait, so sick and tired of rubbing the greasy fingerprints off the backcover and I lent out the mesh cover (which I don't like using for the bulk it adds to the phone, but it sure feels nicer) to a friend so stuck with stock cover until I receive the vinyl covered backcover.
[Vibrant General] Hrshycro:
I got two done last night; I'll do thee other two tonight. They take a good hour each. I think the primer is working well. All the edges are really stuck down.
[Vibrant General] FSY2K:
it would be cool of you got some pre made ones like you did with the EVO on your website. =) white look interesting!
[Vibrant General] Bernardos70:
Let us know when you're taking orders again
[Vibrant General] CapitalM3:
What's the latest? Have any of the primered versions been sent out?
[Vibrant General] jkcheng122:
Is the original skin I had on mine still on? If so I'll just have that one back. If not I'd still like the skin applied. Corners coming up every few days really doesn't matter to me.
[Vibrant General] Hrshycro:
3 people still haven't claimed their refunds ($20).

Please let me know if you received your battery cover back and would like a refund. me@carbonfiberskins.tk
[Vibrant General] eff0rtless:
thanks for the refund man. Wish it woulda worked out. I'll definitely be back with the next device trying the service again!
[Vibrant General] btje:
The solution for this problem is using a silicone plug you made from the mould. After applying the carbon put in the plug and the corners will be perfect.
[Vibrant General] Bernardos70:
lol, if it was that simple. Too late?
[Vibrant General] avetny:
can you do on Nexus S ? :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malachakla:
Currently, I'm running froyostone and the camera app only displays quality as "3mpx" when in reality the HD2 has a 5mpx one.

Which android build allows full camera quality? Is this the type of thing a new zimage would fix or is it more of a build issue?

It's kind of driving me crazy.... I've built a mostly functional daily use build where everything but the full camera (and WiFi hotspot, which I know is being worked on) is working.

Also, what's the story with 720p video recording? Is the HD2s camera capable of that resolution?

If anyone would like to see the steps I took to make my daily use build, a tutorial is on my website but as a new user, I am unable to post links.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Stech1987:
There are already builds with the full 5MP camera working (mattc nexusleo, for example).

Obviously the Leo's camera is able to take 720p videos, and in theory even 1080p, in fact 1920*1080 is something like 2MP... The problem is in codecs and CPU usage, but soon we'll have 720p as the N1 and the Desire have.. And probably we'll never see 1080p because it's too big to calculate proprely for the CPU, and it would take too much space on the SD, too...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] naeem151287:
mattc NexusLeo v1 has the camera working perfectly at 5mpx.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iamgpc:
I don't want to use no sense ROM anymore. The interface is very crude. :mad:

Is there any solution for HTC sense ROM with 5MP camera?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stratplayer:
Each to their own, but I think the Android 2.2 interface with LauncherPro is superb.... I am fed up with the HTC Sense look, its like WinMo (and I am not going back there again! :-) !!! )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] treobwoy:
If you are willing to pay for an app then vignette will not only give you full resolution but will give you a much more robust camera app with a ton of features and much better jpeg compression
[Legend General] xedma:
I recived a HTC Legend from Italy [Fast Web], unlocked, but the problem is I can't access to the phone with the HTC sync, the phone is hardly recognized by the computers (tried win7 x64, win 7 x86 and for XP x86 not working at all) windows say "can't recognize usb device" but with some tutorial here in the forum windows reconized the device as Android phone and that all, HTC sync still don't work and either if I use the phone as a flash disk, windows can't access to the MicroSD card, but the card work well if I put it directly to the computer!

What this problem? what can I do? If i debrand the phone it will resolve the problem?

Help plz!!!
[Legend General] ilos:
you are not in the correct section.... take a look in the part of the forum dedicated to the Legend and you will see answer to your problem....
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cray1000:
Hi I was watching a browser speed test video on androidcentral and they had a galaxy s phone and when they pulled down the notification bar at the top were a set of power buttons letting you turn on blue tooth, wifi or gps from any screen (really useful IMO)

So i ws wondering if this was part of touchwiz or an app or something we can port to the droid x. I find myself wantng to turn on wifi bt and gps alot in apps and ont want to go to the home screen to do it. i think this is so cool, anyone can elaborate?

thanks!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] gerelee:
i believe it's part of touchwiz and it IS very handy. i don't use it all the time but it's a lot easier than finding the screen with the quick toggles.....if you're even using them.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] tvith:
Yea my friend has the one for T-mobile and i didnt' know it till i pulled down the notification bar, and I thought the same thing...sooo useful. I use my phone for navi a lot and it's annoying to go through screens to find the widget.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] 1barlog17:
Quick Desk Beta

Check out the app Quick Desk Beta its essentially the same idea but instead of pulling your notification bar down you double press your home button and it pulls up a transparent screen that you can put any widgets on like wifi toggle or your music player. I used it all the time with my D1 when id be on a web page and forget to turn wifi on or want to listen to music while on the web but not want to go home and find the widgets then back to browser. I just got the DX and haven't tried it yet on it im still figuring out all these new moto blur things but i would think it should work with the DX. Hope that helps you out alittle :-)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cray1000:
Thank you.

yes extremely useful indeed, i need to have this!

thanks i will check it out, but i do once in a while use the double tap of the home button for voice dial on my x, but that shouldnt b needed anymore once we get froyo and the new voice search app from google.

i still would like to have this in notification bar and wonder if it could be done as an app or as a theme mod or what. IF anyone has any ideas how this can be ported? maybe i can request a port in the DX android dev forum?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] HostileJava:
Yes a friend and my inlaws have the Galaxy and I would love to have something like this for the X.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] RMHisCOOL:
Check out the app Quick Settings. Lets you put whatever settings in there you want. It's not as pretty, but really useful.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Irishpride:
Smart bar works pretty good.

Sent from my DROIDX
[Droid X Themes and Apps] amontem:
I would really love this too. I know the Galaxy S has it and certain ROMs have it but I'm not willing to root my DX quite yet.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] drewlamo1:
i use quick settings as well, works really good.

Also you can download the app called Homesmack which can allow you to program the search hard button on the X to bring up the quick settings app. pretty convenient when i want to turn on wifi or bluetooth etc on the fly and saves space on home screens
[Droid X Themes and Apps] tttuning:
which ROM has these????
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Acid'sMark:
It is not apart of any Droid X ROM or theme yet... it is likely that Fission may get this mod though.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] PsiKoTicK:
I use Power Control Plus - can't post a link yet, apparently, but it's easily googled.

It's awesome.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Kov695:
this is the only feature i miss from when i had my Captivate.....i can only hope the guys at team defuse can get this to work on the X!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] GregTard:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dplate07:
Hi recently i found a problem with Samsung's Music Player.

I installed several games like RealFootball. However, the game sounds like "sfx_...." is also being loaded onto the music player. Its quite a irritating problem to me though.

Any fix??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] praveen6585:
i had read somewhere that you need to keep a blank file with the extension of .nomusic in the folder that you want to exclude the music player from scanning.. not tried it myself but u can give it a shot..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] webcrtor:
Just create a file ".nomedia" in every folder that has files that have to be hidden from gallery/musicplayer, that's it ;)
[EVO 4G General] imran5911:
So i dont no how to write apps but i have a great idea that maybe someone here can work on.

when the phone is locked and the screen is off its a little inconvienet to press the on/off button on the top of the phone to unlock the device.

so how about if there was way to swipe across the four buttons (home, menu, back, and search) at the bottom and unlock the device liek that.

i would really like that and i think so woulda alota other peepz
[EVO 4G General] 063_XOBX:
They're capacitive buttons they won't register touches without the screen being on
[EVO 4G General] ritzbrie:
I love peepz, they are delicious. Especially the yellow ones.
[EVO 4G General] Franteeko:
Awesome idea. I'm steer there had to be some way to get it to work. Might consider making a request thread in the dev forum and see what people say. You could always hit the power button to wake up the phone just like normal unlock then use the bottom buttons to unlock like you said. Either way, cool idea.
[Desire General] Kickasskev:
Is there a way to charge ya phone through the USB as quick as it would charge through the mains?

It takes for ever to charge through USB?
[Desire General] monsterfly:
No. Because USB hub doesn't have as much output as charger.
[Desire General] jbej:
I know standard usb gives 5V

how much does the wall charger give??

I have a freeloader solar charger, and don't know if I can use the 9.5V output on my desire.
[Desire General] Ben77uk:
It's not the Volts that's the problem its the Amps ;)

The wall charger provides 1A, a USB connection provides 500mA, so half as much.
[Desire General] Kickasskev:
Ok thanks people
[Desire General] torwag:
Never tested never heard about but maybe a Y-cable (2 standard A plugs on one side, a micro USB A on the other side) is what you are looking for. It provides the 500 mA from two individual USB ports. However, you have to make sure that both ports can supply 500 mA individually and simultaneously! E.g. a passive USB hub will not work since all USB ports have to share the 500 mA from the host PC. You would need a powered USB hub.
[Desire General] mercianary:
Get a cheap USB cable extender.

Cut it open.

Short the 2 data wires (white and green)

Tape it back up.

Use this in-between your normal USB cable and your USB port.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gary.lavin:
I've seen a few posts talking about whether the power button problem is a hardware or software issue. My N1 got a little wet (warranty now void) and I had to reinstall CM 5.8 to get it working again. Since then the power button has gradually failed completely. I'm wondering if upgrading the Rom will fix the power button but booting into recovery is tough.

Thoughts or suggestions anyone?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobiousdigital:
I had the same issue with my N1, ended up having to send the phone to HTC for repair, took two weeks to get it back.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gary.lavin:
I can't be without the phone for two weeks, so that option means effectively replacing the N1 with something else....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Booting into recovery is as easy as connecting phone to PC and writing "adb reboot recovery" (after you have the SDK tools downloaded, of course).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gary.lavin:
I probably should try upgrading to CM6. Also a used N1 on eBay is about $350, repair is $200 and my N1 even with a broken power button is worth $200. So now I'm thinking what can I get to replace the N1 and there really isn't anything out yet.
