@thatruth132 & eenbox: *this* is why I posted this here.

Also, I am sorry if you misunderstood the "**not for HD2**" part(s) of the title - all apologies. :rolleyes:

If you don't like it make your own Rom instead of disrespecting somebody who has put a lot of time and effort in creating a decent Rom for all of his followers its a great Rom and I hope he keeps doing what he is doing :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bangsters:
hopefully this isn't for me right? i didn't read the rest of this thread and just wana make sure i'm not disrespecting anybody by trying to merge CM6 final to make it work for HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 11calcal:
Well I'm lookin forward to testing it out bangster, ignore all the haters there are too many people on here these days attempting to be mods.

The more builds out there the better IMO, will feedback upon testing

Cheers. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bangsters:
currently working on it... so far only issues (but big ones) are that market is stuck on the terms of service, and the default browser just closes right away.... trying to fix. i think both issues are related...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] songokussm:
i appreciate this thread here (otherwise i would have never seen it) and the people interested in cyanogenmod. i'm not a sense person. cm6 gives me lots of functionality, and tools that the other android builds do not.

thanks guys.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thatruth132:
first he never got disrespected there was confusion on the title and what he was really saying in this thread , so who are you talking to.........
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Raudi1:
So it seems that Shu8i has heard our prayers and is providing a CM6 final build without that theme and by doing that will make his great builds even better. I'll patiently wait for shubCRAFT 1.5 and pray that everything works!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 11calcal:
Oh well good luck with the probs,hope they get ironed out asap. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bangsters:
ok ifxed both bugs....

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spankmaster:
Im on Baked Snack 1.5 and im trying to use the built in/stock usb tether. everything connects correctly and seems to be working except that my 3G data turns off when my computer tries to connect. I tried it with wifi enabled and it seems to work great, but just not over 3G. Ive tried the wired tether for root users app and it wouldnt even connect over wifi. Ive read all about the enabling and disabling scripts that it might need and havent bothered trying them yet because id rather use the built in one for simplicities sake (well, i guess it needs the htc sync driver installed so its not always a better solution). Anyone possibly have an idea as to stop 3G from shutting of when i try to tether with the stock app?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kf2m:
Are you paying the $30 monthly tilthe to Sprint? If not you are not going to be able to tether normally(which it sounds like that is your problem). But you can use EasyTether, or PDANet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spankmaster:
thank you for your reply. But i do believe the 30 dollars a month only covers the wireless tether app. From what i know it has nothing to do with the wired tether option when you plug in your phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mchunu:
You have to pay the 30 a month for any tether at all. On 2.1 you were able to tether with usb when on 4g but sprint fixed it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spankmaster:
Not to rude, but don't think that's right at all either. The free tethering was for sprints wireless tendering app. The wired always gave the error 67 or something like that until it was fixed in the new kernels or until SOMETHING was done. Im almost certain that built in Android wired tether has nothing to to with the Sprint wireless tether app. I really do appreciate the effort so thank you. Any one else have any ideas?
[Vibrant Accessories] juggamonkey:
hello everyone, here is my vibrant with a white skin on the front , a painted white back cover , and a android logo decal on the back . let me know what you guys think .
[Vibrant Accessories] StefanB86:
:eek: Love it man... really nice job! what steps are involved in your mod? :)
[Vibrant Accessories] juggamonkey:
Not to much to it really i bought a white decal kit from ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/WHITE-PROTECTION-DECAL-SKIN-SAMSUNG-VIBRANT-T959-/300453304661?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item45f4699955#ht_2662wt_1226

used the front piece from that.i then used some krylon plastic spray paint in high gloss white for the back cover, shot it with about 3 coats of spray on clear coat

and threw a android decal i had laying around on the back. thanks for the comment
[Vibrant Accessories] speoples20:
wow nice, def want to get one to go with my white case. Is it a screen protector as well or just around the edge? Also does it effect the touch sensitive keys?
[Vibrant Accessories] Alex530:
That's flucking sexy. Im trying this!
[Vibrant Accessories] umarism:
awesome..

Hey this mod looks awesome! I have a quick question -- does putting the front decal cover the light from the touch sensitive buttons, or does it still come through? Also are they still are responsive as before? Thanks!
[Vibrant Accessories] pittphan:
Nice Job! I was thinking of doing the exact same thing. But didn't know there was a white face cover... Which is also great for covering the excessive logos on the front.

Can you be very descriptive about how you painted the back?
[Vibrant Accessories] kboater:
looks great
[Vibrant Accessories] MilkPudding:
looks awesome. It makes me want to do it too but I know I will mess up the paint job.
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
I might try this been looking for a white Texas longhorns battery cover might just make my own!

Is it sticky or smooth? Does the white battery cover feel close to the stock one?
[Vibrant Accessories] juggamonkey:
Hey everybody sorry for the late response but I just got off work and decided to check what everyone had to say hopefully I can answer all your questions first of all the buttons at the bottom do shine through but not as much as if it were off and their still really responsive .second the front piece is just around the edges and is not a screen protector .third the back feels smooth with the paint on and the clear coat but has a little grip to it which is nice .thanks for all your positive responses . I loved the cat photo lol
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
So 2 coats of white and one clear coat? did you hang dry on a paper clip or let sit flat on the ground?
[Vibrant Accessories] speoples20:
If your painting plastic like that you want to sand it down first so its no longer shiny, that way the paint can adhear to the plastic. I would do 2 coats of color and 2 coats of clear and let it dry for several days.
[Vibrant Accessories] ThisGuyJohn:
That looks great dude, and it would've been perfect if the sensor and speaker area was fully white too.
[Vibrant Accessories] juggamonkey:
Yea I wet sanded with the finest grid sandpaper I could find then sprayed on a coat of krylon for plastic let that dry for about thirty min then shot it with another coat of paint let that dry for about a hour then coat of clear coat every hour I would suggest about two coats of paint and two or three coats of clear coat i look forward to seeing how they turn out
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
You didn't happen to do progress photos did you?
[Vibrant Accessories] scrizz:
nice job m8!!

excellent idea

:)

:D
[Vibrant Accessories] kizer:
I've never been a real fan of white phones, but WOW that looks really nice.
[Vibrant Accessories] solidkundi:
how easy was it to replace the front cover ?
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
Sorry for the Huge pictures, forgot to resize them.....

It looks like he used the Decal on the front so its a sticker .

So i decided to do this with my spare battery cover I couldn't find the Krylon Fusion clear coat at Lowes so i only picked up the white for now.

I used my spare purple back so you know what that looks like so i didnt take a photo .

Then this is 1/2 way done with Sanding it.

This is what it looks like after its fully sanded.

Note i had not wiped it all off yet and after i did i saw some shiny parts i missed.

Got a can of White Krylon Fusion

Moved outside to a well aired place

Applied first coat using steady left to right movements 6"-8" away from the product , turned the paper to get the sides.

I am now waiting for this to dry, then i will apply 3 more coats.

*Note all photos to this point have been taken using the vibrants camera!!!!*
[Vibrant Accessories] pittphan:
:D

Thanks

sent from my Vibrant.
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
Finished 4 coats of white and now im on my first coat of clear. Going to do 3 more then let it cure over night.
[Vibrant Accessories] StefanB86:
Lookin' good man ;) are you going to get thewhite front piece too?
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
That i am I want to do a longhorn Cover and figured because theres no orange front ill go with white :-p

Now if i could just find a good Galaxy S decal that would just top it off. Kinda like on the Mesh cases or even like we have on our OEM battery covers.
[Vibrant Accessories] juggamonkey:
hey good progress man its looking great so far cant wait to see when you get done with it. whats wierd though is when i was searching for a skin before i did mine i remember seeing orange as a option. dont know why they removed it but maybe if your message the seller they can do a orange front for you just a thought
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
If i can find it ill look into it however i don't want Pumpkin orange im looking for Burnt Orange.
[Vibrant Accessories] juggamonkey:
yea i would just email them that pic and ask to see if they can do it .im sure they probably got a million colors lol
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
Will check into it but i already bought the white one :-p two questions, how does the decal effect the home button and what clear coat did you use?
[Vibrant Accessories] DroidDavi:
lol im a die hard oklahoma sooner fan but nice job on the case
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
They have a hot red.... but that would be like me going with the orange and not burnt orange... see you at the red river shoot out!

[Vibrant Accessories] juggamonkey:
I used krylon automotive spray on clear coat and it doesn't effect the buttons at all really I don't think you will be disappointed
[Vibrant Accessories] dnguyen1988:
So with the front piece would you be able to put it over a screen protector or will i have to remove the screen protector first? Sorry if its a dumb question i was just curious because i have a the realook sp and its on perfectly lol
[Vibrant Accessories] Gusgom:
You would have to remove it...thats the reason Im going to do it like the Japan white model thats supposed to come out and just leave the front as is just do the back.
[Vibrant Accessories] DroidDavi:
see you there

and i really like the idea i might try that with my spare back
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
Having trouble with the edges they have a pink hue to them even though i fully sanded off all the paint. Not sure if i scratched too deep and that is what is showing up on the paint or not.

The only thing im not happy about is if you take your fingernail to the back it will indent into the place where the paint is. I would like to find someway to get a hard gloss finish, how is this done anyone know?
[Vibrant Accessories] Gusgom:
Yea u might have I just did it but didnt sand too far in cuz I didnt want to mess it up I put 3 coats of white and now I'm on my first clear coat....
[Vibrant Accessories] LatinSilEighty:
I'm thinking about doing the black just to do away with the Samsung and the T-Mobile
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
samsung comes off in like 3 seconds with a fine grit sandpaper.
[Vibrant Accessories] wendellc:
the pink hue is probably coming thru if you didn't apply a primer. I suggest a primer and then the white paint.
[Vibrant Accessories] SeanFloyd:
Definitely would like to try this.... in the mean time, do you think sandpaper is the best way to get the T Mobile off as well?
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
Never thought about that but don't know if i want to go don't know how the glass would react to it.
[Vibrant Accessories] Gusgom:
I did it no primer and it was all good waiting on the gloss to dry...
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
I'm thinking on sanding and using a nail Polish or something the gloss wasn't hard enough for me.
[Vibrant Accessories] Gusgom:
Nail polish might leave steaks though...
[Vibrant Accessories] Gusgom:
This is the one I boughg
[Vibrant Accessories] wendellc:
Gusgom, did you sand down deep pass the layer of clear like tall texan did or did you just scuff it. Or maybe you did not sand it which is ok but the paint might not adhere as great as some light scuffing. If you just spray without getting rid of the clear you should get bleeding because the clear protects the layer under it from interacting with the fresh paint.

I just recommend primer because I once painted a friends door on his car white. We sanded the red and put bondo on some parts but did primer the whole door and got some bleed through, so I had to resand and primer the whole door and painted and the fixed it.
[Vibrant Accessories] LatinSilEighty:
yeah there just something about sanding down the front of the phone that doesn't sit well with me :eek: seems like its something that Ide rather not experiment with, i mean if i sand it then Ide have to buff it and nah I don't think i want to go through all that
[Vibrant Accessories] joshthewaster:
I had been thinking about a custom paint job since the phone came with a spare cover so when I saw the OP I had to try it.

I used a 220 grit to get the down to the plastic and went straight to color, I must have had a tiny bit of residue because it bubbled a bit. I resanded down to plastic making sure I got all traces of the original finish off, then finished the plastic with a 320 grit. Primed and wet sanded with 600 grit, repeated a couple times, for a really, really smooth finish. Now I just have to decide what to put on it.
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
Was taking a look at it and the Tmobile and Samsung logos seem to be inside the glass the Galaxy S you can feel the bumps but the Tmobile is smooth, not a decal.
[Vibrant Accessories] LatinSilEighty:
Seems embedded in the glass fo sho
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
I think I figured it out the, stickiness of the paint, I lightly sand after the application.

I will keep sanding and repainting till i get it. I have just a few scratches on the top im smoothing out.
[Vibrant Accessories] NickMl:
Are you putting anything over the paint to make it hard and durable? When I used the plastic paint to paint my Wii classic controller black, it wore off right around where I was gripping it.
[Vibrant Accessories] SamVib:
Awesome. Too bad I don't have the tools or patients to do it.
[Vibrant Accessories] blink6583:
color full here
[Vibrant Accessories] Gusgom:
ok so for the past 3 days I've been doing this I sanded the cover very nicely and smooth, put 3 coats of paint in yesterday throughout the day and this morning around 9am i put a coat of clear acrylic and around 11am I pit another coat of acrylic.. I went to pick up the cover today and it looks day but on the side by the volume rocker my fingerprint left a mark...now im gonna have to sand and repaint atleast that part put the acrylic and let it dry over the whole weekend hopefully thats enough time for EVERYTHING TO DRY...this is hard work....samsung should just make a danm white cover LOL!!!!
[Vibrant Accessories] CurtJRees:
It looks really good in white

I'm thinking about doing my Nexus the same way

Anyone know where you can get that decal from?
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
Just resand with a fine grit paper over that area and to a small sweep you should be fine. This is what i am doing to mine i have sanded and resanded this thing about 15 times haha. (kinda have a perfectionist thing for these items)
[Vibrant Accessories] wolfvgang:
Burnt orange case

That's the link from where I got the decal from it comes with a big chrome decal and a small freebie which is the one I put on the back after I applied it I peeled off the arm and spinned the arm around to make it looked raised hope that helps
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
lol we were both wrong!
[Vibrant Accessories] cire253:
So far so good with the coats of white paint, but first time through using the clear coat I got the pink bleed through, resanded, fine sanded and then wet sanded now finished my last coat of paint waiting til the morning to try clear coat again hopefully no pink this time... Any suggestions? How to avoid the pink?
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
Not sure have any pics of it?
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
@juggamonkey so i am finally done the case is nice and smooth as my stock one , not as high of a shine i cant see myself in it but i can see a blur so about 1/2 way there. I put it on my phone...... only to find out during my perfection and reapplication i had apparently applied to many paint applications. While this adds a bit of heft to my phone i found that i cant hit the power/volume rocker very easy as they are flush with my phone case now. Could you do a Macro shot of your volume/power button so i can see if this was due to me painting too much or if it is just how it is.
[Vibrant Accessories] Liselotte:
purrttyyyyy :)
[Vibrant Accessories] cire253:
Love it, finally finished, sanded, fine sand and then wet sand, 3 coats of white, 2 coats of clear coat, and had it ghost armored and its CLEAN! looks AMAZING!
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
Ghost armor type of epoxy or clear coat?

Also note i attempted to use some of my wfies "Hard as nails" something in it reacted to the paint and caused the paint to bubble, seemed to settle down after a night of curing but still not perfect. Looks like i might be sanding down bare bones and trying again UGH. Ill take pix whenever i get home from work today.
[Vibrant Accessories] Mouahmong:
I just painted the white mod. All you Need is 2 coats of paint! If you do more it'll add too much bulk and the case won't fit on very well. I don't know how to post pictures :confused: so if anyone wants to PM me and tell me how I can post pictures.

Steps that I did (This is a long process so you need to be patient. It will take over 48 hours if you want perfection):

1. Sand the back cover with 240 Grit sandpaper until the shiny stuff is all gone from the case. In regards to the area with the design you can just sand the shiny off but the design will slightly show through the paint, but I went ahead and sanded everything until the case was all black.

2. Use a medium grit (140-150) sandpaper to get it ready for painting. Just sand and make sure it is nice and smooth all around.

3. Apply first layer of spray paint (I used a GLOSS WHITE Krylon spray paint which can be purchased at craft stores like "Hobby Lobby" or "JoAnns"). When applying it be sure you really do hold the spray can about 10-12 inches away from the case (this takes more paint to do it this way but it looks better too). Spray until the whole case is white. In a clean well ventilated area let the case dry for 30-40 minutes.

4. BE PATIENT DON'T TOUCH IT, LEAVE IT OUT OF YOUR MIND UNTIL THE DRYING PERIOD IS UP.

5. Apply second layer just as you did the first layer. But this time around be sure you apply enough so that it covers the entire first layer so that the second coat of paint is even. Again leave the case in a well ventilated area free of dust. This time around let the paint dry and cure for 48 hours!

6. Be patient! DON'T MESS WITH THE COVER WHILE THE PAINT IS CURING! If you do it'll be soft and take in finger prints and you will have to start over. (I don't recommend applying a clear coat because it will leave the cover looking pinkish. If you purchase a GLOSS WHITE, after it cures it'll be so shiny you could see your reflection.)

But on another note. My brother-in-law got a vibrant just this last weekend and he wants me to do the paint mod for him but he wants to keep the "Galaxy S" on the back. To do this all you gotta do is get a cheap screen cover and cut it out to cover the "Galaxy S" and just do all the same steps. By using only 2 coats of paint it ensures that when the paint is dry it isn't too thick to where you can't pull the film covering the "Galaxy S" off. Also it lets the cover look and feel even all the way around.
