I think it's also because in order to change the text color you have to modify services.jar. Boot speed is back to normal, that was what was slowing it down.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] NegativeOne:
Phew, gosh. It took a long time to boot, nerve-wracking. I didn't mind so much during deodexing, but when I was applying the theme, my heart almost stopped.

Then, right when it's almost done booting it makes a little TICK on the vibrate, and I exhale :P.

Anyway, first attempt worked!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
Awesome! Congrats! I'm still trying to figure out a way to edit the XML files. AXMLPrinter2 apparently doesn't work with FroYo. Once I can edit everything, and I get home from work, I'm gonna really push on getting more images done.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
Wanted to let you know I FINALLY got the XML's all sorted out.

Get this: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/

Download and install per instructions on the front page.

Run in cmd like this:

apktool d -f <path to framework-res.apk>

It will decode the apk and pop all the files into a folder named after the apk. Then you can just open the XML files, and then you can build back again....though I haven't tackled that step yet.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] NegativeOne:
Some of the apks are encoded? i don't think I have noticed one I couldn't open in winrar
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
No I can open the APK's just fine, but I couldn't open the XML's and see the plain-text. The apktool converts the XML so that they are readable in plain-text. Then you can use that to read the hex values in the XML properly. When I did this in status_bar.xml

I changed the HexValue AFTER 08 00 00 1C from 00 00 00 FF to FF FF FF FF. This changed text like "USB Connection" to show up in White now.

But it seems that status_bar_expanded.xml and status_bar_latest_event_content.xml don't have Hex Colors in them anymore. I'm still looking into this...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] NegativeOne:
I just did this one and it does most of what you already want. may be a good starting point.

i'm just trying to see if I can sort out the transparency issues (see screens) and the fact that you can't seem to get transparent shade in 2.2 for DX
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
I have all that stuff done as well. The main problem I'm having is that, you see in yours where you have the actual notifications and the text is black? Well if I make a dark colored image/theme that text is almost unreadable. I'm trying to figure out how to make that particular text color white. Clock and everything I was able to do with services.jar hacking.

I'll delve into it more when I'm not at work :P

Here's the latest version, skinned the battery (and charging) animations, and the signal strength images so far. Just lightened it so that the text is readable until I figure exactly where those text values are stored.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] tk44uk:
I would love to find out what could cause the following:

I bought my SGS when I was on holiday in the UK, and I used it to take a few dozen photos.

I used the highest resolution setting which gives a file size of approx 1.5MB for each jpg.

After backing them up on the 'external SD card' , I copied them to my wife's laptop, where she noticed that some of them were really low resolution.

So I checked the file sizes on my Galaxy S, and I was amazed to find that about half of the files were not the expected size.

I selected the option to list them by order of size - the first 20 or so files went from 17KB, 20KB, 35KB, 100KB, 340KB etc... then the remaining 30 or 40 files were all the correct file size, i.e. 1.4MB to 1.5MB.

None of the photos had anything missing regarding the subject, but they were just lower resolution, as though they had been somehow resampled to a smaller number of pixels. :confused:

If anyone has any idea as to how they could get corrupted like this, I would love to know.
[HD2 General] me:
What language dictionaries have readers found to work well on the HD2?

Of course, that is mostly a general Windows Mobile question--what good WinMo dictionary apps are out there?

However, there are some factors especially important for the HD2, besides the general factors important to all devices. The features important for the HD2 would be finger-friendliness, and support for WVGA resolution. (As well, of course, as overall being a good dictionary app.)

What are your favorites, and why?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SugarMouth:
Just received a replacement Vibrant and can not boot into recovery through the power/volume up/down method, has something changed?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaduma:
To get into recovery mode you need to hold Volume Down and Power Button.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SugarMouth:
I have booted into recovery many times with my original Vibrant, my replacement will not boot.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newkirk:
Um, the OP explicitly said that they can't get into recovery with volup+voldn+power, on a replacement phone. Replacement=more likely they know how to do it that I do, but I just received a new Vibrant from T-Mo-USA today and I cannot get it into recovery either.

VolUp+VolDn held, power until 'vibrant samsung' then release power is supposed to be recovery, but not working for me. Just VolDn or just VolUp and power only boots the phone as well. Waiting with power held until screen goes black again then 'vibrant samsung' returns is also ineffective. I can get to download mode with vol buts while plugging USB, and I've double-checked that both vol buts are working. It /is/ possible that a change took place and recovery is no longer accessible through that key combo... :(

Shiny new handset, never yet had a SIM inserted. (Trying to get clockwork recovery running to do nandroid backup before setting up first time) (adb gives me a permission error, going to research that now)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unrenowned:
Quick Boot specifically states that you must ALREADY have root status for it to work.

So we need Root for Quick Boot to get into Recovery Mode, but we need to first get into Recovery Mode to get Root...

Ring around the rosy...

Anybody else have any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
^ he didn't say he didn't have root already. I also posted an alternate method to root above without stock recovery.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mentalex2:
Have either of you found a way to recovery with key combos yet. I too can not get recovery with vol buttons. Only thru terminal, adb, rom manager, etc. i'd really like to know if anyones found a solution to this??? I'd like to be able to boot recovery manually in case I cant boot into home screen for some reason.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unrenowned:
Someone mentioned getting it to work while having it plugged into the charger.

Frankly, the only way I was able to get into Recovery Mode was through the ADB method.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SugarMouth:
I called T-Mobile regarding this and they agree it should work with hardware buttons and are sending me a replacement.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gill_za:
Same issue. Got the phone on Aug 23 and the only way I can go to recovery is via ADB and ClockWorkMod
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbingham:
Hmmm, I have the same issue. The funny thing is that I can get into recovery on my girl's phone just fine. And I can't on mine. They only way I could get into recovery was by using the 1-click root. Now, I can use ROM Manager to get into recovery while "on-the-go". At first, I was honestly afraid that maybe my phone came without the recovery installed!

I know it gets frustrating listening to the stupid T-Mobile jingle taunting you every time it fails.

I guess it's not a big enough deal to me to send it back now that I have a couple of options, but it seems like it's a more common issue than I thought. Only way to get Samsung to do something is to keep sending them back . . .
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mentalex2:
Its important to be able to get recovery with the buttons tho. What if your flashing roms or anythimg for that matter and the phone wont boot regularly. Then you cant get into recovery to restore. Called tmobile and Im sending mine back tomorrow for replacement, unless somebody knows another way to get into recovery if you end up in a boot loop???
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roguespy0:
My friend just got his Vibrant, I went to root it for him and wont go into recovery. Mine works fine,I can get into recovery fine on mine everytime. I told him to return it and swap it out. Getting into recovery is very important if you flash a rom and you run into booting issues.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newkirk:
I really suspect what we're seeing isn't a defect per se, but the result of a suit at t-mo being told that people are using recovery mode for rooting their phones and restoring things like wifi tethering, who responded "then disable recovery mode dammit"...

If you return a Vibrant that won't go into recovery from buttons and actually get a new-in-the-box vibrant in its place, I suspect there's a very high probability that the replacement is the same, and if you get a replacement that WILL enter recovery from buttons I suspect it's likely to be an open box or what-have-you. For the latter, as more Vibrants are returned for not entering recovery, you're more and more likely to end up with a 'like-new' replacement that won't enter recovery either.

Long-term I suspect the solution is going to have to come from us, not t-mobile.

[Android Software Development] buraksimsek:
Hi I am trying to develop an application and don't know where to start.

the application will do following:

- It can set alarm 1 to 5 times a day,

- It will have a widget to show how many minutes left to next alarm,

- It will have an activity to altar alarms, add new alarms etc.

The question is how my design should be? Is Remote Service necessary? What will update widget for every minute? I want my alarms run even though activity is killed (Naturally :) )

Thanks..

[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
EDIT: The phone seems to be back in stock online. Still says ships in 8-9 days.

Amazon.com just got the EPIC 4G on their site for preorders, it's $199.99 with new contract, or $499.99 without any service. Best deals I've seen anywhere. If these don't sell out, I bet it'll hit $150 by september 1st. This is just great if you are a new customer on Sprint.

[Epic 4G General] icantdrawanime:
Kinda blows if you're an existing one though...
[Epic 4G General] chipstar1:
Does sprint allow you to cancel and then sign up as a new contract? Because of the pro-rating of their cancellation fees, it would be significantly cheaper to get the discounted Amazon phone (even better if it follows the other Galaxy S phone pricing) than it would be to buy the unsubsidized Epic.
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
You mean cancel your current sprint plan, then take the amazon.com epic deal with a brand new contract? I think you can do that. However like you said, there is the prorated early termination fee, and you also need to consider that you would of course lose your current phone number. You could of course also switch to a prepaid account with some other carrier for a week or so though, and just port your number over a lot, but that could be a bit risky/flawed.

If you wanted to buy a cheap amazon epic 4g then cancel right after though, you'd pay a ton, amazon.com would hit you with early cancel charges, as would sprint.
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
If you cancel your contract, you have to wait 90 days before you can qualify for new customer pricing on devices.
[Epic 4G General] chipstar1:
Yes, I meant the first part. Cancel my sprint contract (and risk losing the #), then rejoin sprint on the cheaper (possibly much cheaper) amazon phone deal. Switching phone numbers isnt always a bad thing.
[Epic 4G General] BrianFX:
$199 wow! Way to stick it to Wirefly and their cheapo $10 off price.

I'm currently on the $30 SERO plan, and converting to either a 5-line EPRP, or a 5-line corporate discount plan. I guess there's no way in hell I can do either one thru Amazon. :(
[Epic 4G General] chipstar1:
Aha, thanks for the definitive answer. Could a family member qualify immediately? We don't share a last name.
[Epic 4G General] BrianFX:
Oh man Amazon is annoying, is there any way to see the final review order page without submitting the credit check info? I'd assume they don't actually perform the credit check until you submit the order, but I'd rather not take that risk, especially just to see a check-out price! I just want to see if they charge taxes and activation.

[Epic 4G General] rawsoup:
I did that before, and it's 200$ per line... a very hefty sum
[Epic 4G General] ickwonder:
I called and they said they dont do that with sprint yet.
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
radioshack has 10 dollar off coupons, so its 240 + tax. I would do amazon, but with 2 phones, it will be a hassle, so I'm doing radioshack for ease of return if there are any problems.
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
From what I was told at the Sprint store, its a total of $240 early termination, or $10 a month, for each of the 24 months of the 2 year contract.

The longer you have the contract, the lower the termination fee is.
[Epic 4G General] vince2398:
Does Amazon charge an activation fee of $36 per line? Also has anyone purchased from them before? Just wondering if they would actually ship the phone on 8/31 and if the return policy is any good? Thanks in advance.

wait so you're saying for every month left on your contract it's ten dollars off? Maybe thats why I had paid 200. I think i was about 4 months into my contract

Im due for an upgrade with Sprint, but i want to get this price from amazon.
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Yea sadly Amazon doesn't do upgrades for sprint. At least they are creating competitive pricing and other sites might discount the phone. Ive been ready for a new phone didn't buy the epic because it was $250 and you cannot buy a Evo pretty much anywhere.
[Epic 4G General] FoxRacR17:
thinking about buying through amazon so i wont have to pay tax. My question though is that i will be paying full price for the phone since i do not want to extend my contract and it will be replacing my hero, will the $7 TEP insurance transfer over to the epic if i bought it though amazon?

where did u find a 10 dollar off coupon for radio shack>?
[Epic 4G General] nismology:
I'm seeing $499.99 as the "full" price. When/where did you see $469.99?
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
Sorry about that, I fixed my post. They were $469.99 originally when Amazon first put the phone up. It was up or like 30 mins, this thread was made, then it was taken down for a day. I also heard someone say that they preordered one for $489.99 but right now the price is $499.99. Which given the fact that Amazon.com might not tax and that the price is the same as sprint, the price isn't bad at all.
[Epic 4G General] nismology:
It's all good man. You saw what you saw LOL. :)

Despite the fact that the "full" price is the same as Sprint I'm probably going to order it from amazon since (like you said) it appears that there is no sales tax, I get free 2-day shipping since I'm a prime customer, and I'll actually be able to unbox the darn thing myself! Priceless.
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
Yeah, it's a shame they changed the price, but there's no way they could have sold it for less than $500. Also everyone gets free 2 day shipping on cell phones from amazon. As a prime member I think you can get $8 next day shipping though, I think someone said they were getting that for this phone. I'm gonna keep waiting til the phone has been out for a week or 2.
[Epic 4G General] Dman10:
Does Amazon let us add lines at least? That'll be great if they do.
[Epic 4G General] ftnguyen1:

[Epic 4G General] celemew2:
Just an update to this thread, the EPIC is $99 with a new line of service when I looked at it today. If that isn't a great deal for an AWESOME phone, then I don't know what is. I played with it in the Store for a good hour before looking for a better price online. ($350 in store with $100 mail-in rebate)

And this phone is just as the name implies . . . EPIC!

[Epic 4G General] wheezyfbaby:
Does the amazon deal only apply for new sprint customers?
[Epic 4G General] ansong:
I called amazon and talked to them about it several weeks ago and the rep said that sprint was new customer only. That they couldn't add lines or handle existing customers yet. The rep did say that they were working on it. I could have saved $100 if sprint and amazon were being nice to each other :-/
[Epic 4G General] wheezyfbaby:
Thanks, I had a feeling that was the case. I guess radioshack has the best deal available.
[Epic 4G General] celemew2:
I just went with Newegg.com to upgrade to the Samsung EPIC and after everything plus 2 day shipping, it turned out to be about $247 without needing any rebates so that's still better than buying it in the store and once I get it I'm going to fill out the rebate and see if they'll still send me $100 back. :D
