Comming from an Hd2, love the vibrant, absolutely, loooooove Android!!!! Anyways,

1. On my hd2 there was a mod to keep bottom buttons lit, home/back/windows/ECT, can I do this on my vibrant????

2. is there Any way to get android taskbar, white/green, instead of tw taskbar, maybe black with green, that would be cool...

INFO: Not rooted

Stock Rom..

Thanks guys....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamVib:
1. Not that I know of, but I doubt it's made yet.

2.No, You can not change the color of the taskbar, it's a TouchWiz feature. If you head over to the themes section, you can change the icons in the taskbar.

If I am wrong, someone please correct me.

Just wondering if there's something I can do to simply make all my apps and/or widgets black and white?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meech1889:
Or I suppose if someone can lead me to a tutorial on how I can just do it myself? I can just throw them all in Photoshop and greyscale em, if someone could just point me in the right direction
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungSinema:
adb pull each app/widget that you would like to theme. Extract the apk using 7zip, winrar, or whatever you use. I prefer 7zip because I think you have to change the file extension with winrar, and there's no point in using extra steps to achieve the same thing. Anyways, after you extract the apk, navigate to the res folder. You'll then see folders that say drawable, drawable-mdpi, or something like that. In those folders are the .png images that you can edit using photoshop. Save them with the same name in the same directory that you got in from. Now, go back to the .apk file you pulled from your phone. Open the archive (DON'T EXTRACT). Navigate to the res/drawable folders within the archive and drag and drop the edited images into the archive. Now (still in the archive) back up to META-INF folder and delete everything in there. Now, close the archive and sign the .apk. Now, you can push it back to your phone.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
Or you could get better cut or adw from the market and download icon packs that meet your monochromatic needs. Seems easier than the above.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASimmons:
There is no need to ever rename any archive with winrar just goto "open with" and choose winrar and then check the box to associate winrar with apks you can do this with jars also.

Check black mod them in apps and themes I think you'll be satisfied with that.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
You failed to mention that modifying the 9.pngs will have to be 9patched or else they will get distorted. But an easier thing to do is look in the themes section and find a theme or use an alternate Home launcher and use themes for those found in the market.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
A lot of what u want to do is XML edits. U can always change icon colors. 7zip is a must use cause winrar is crap and to many steps.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungSinema:
Oh yeah. Thanks. I recently read that we can edit 9.pngs using photoshop if a 1px border is added to the image. Is that true? If so, it'll be easier for me that eclipse.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] translux:
For the life of me I can't figure out how to paste a phone number from say email into the dialer. I don't even see where I would paste.

Right now I copy the number, then create a contact.

There just has to be a way!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orris:
Um, even though it doesn't look like you can do it, you can. Just single quick press the number (if typed correctly, eg; 555-555-5555). If it's all together I don't think you can do it. Works for me with my MobileMe account and Gmail. When you click it, it automatically opens your caller and after that you only need to press call.

Hope that helps.

I have a HTC EVO 4G with a problem :(.

Every time I try to open Android Market I get the following error:

Sorry.

The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

This started a couple of days ago. I can't seem to find which application did it or if it was an application that I installed that did me in.

I would like to run a log cat on my phone, but need to install it on my laptop first.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks d[~_~]b
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Last-Chance:
is it rooted? if so what kernel/rom?

if its unrooted then go to

settings -> applications -> All -> Market -> Clear cache/data

Usually works on some applications.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
I'm trying to help him but I can't figure it out either.

He hasn't rooted the phone or anything. It's completely stock.

And that was the first thing I recommended, to clear data in the settings and force stop the app and reopen it. But he keeps having it stop on him.

I know there's something called logcat or something to help record the error log entirely, but I don't know what it is/how it works exactly since I've never needed it. Can anyone suggest anything or help?

No it saves under clockwork mod on the sd card in 3 convenient files. So when u flash a custom rom u can run restore and it will restore all your files and data. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Razor1973:
h doesn't do anything. I still have the "Android system recovery <2e>" screen with the following options: reboot system now, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. If I pull the battery and put it back in and turn the phone on, I get to this same screen, but can't get out of it. Sliding the keyboard out and pressing the "h" key doesn't do anything. I had a rooted DI07 before I flashed build 32. Any ideas? In case it matters, there's a yellow # MANUAL MODE # below the menu.

EDIT: OK, nevermind. I just learned that blue menu is the stock recovery. I turned the phone on pressing volume down and camera and got to ClockworkMod's green menu. I then pressed "h" on "reboot system now" and the phone booted up normally. Pfew!
[Epic 4G Android Development] FoxRacR17:
Did the "try first bat" and i got some permission denied stuff and failed stuff. Tired the second bat and it looks like it did it alright but how do i know if CWM is actually on my phone now?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
I'm trying to figure out the difference between this and the ClockworkMod compatible kernel that Koush recently released. It's a bit confusing, but this what I have:

Unlike previous Galaxy S models, the Epic comes with both KERNEL (bml7) and RECOVERY (bml8) partitions. In the stock firmware, the contents of these partitions are the same, and they both contain a recovery binary in the initramfs. From what I gather, "adb reboot recovery" boots the bml7 kernel+recovery, whereas volume down+camera+power boots the bml8 kernel+recovery.

The kernel Koush released contains an updated initramfs that allows the stock recovery (in whichever partition the kernel is flashed) to boot the fake flash ClockwordMod binary from /sdcard/update.zip. Although I don't think Koush actually specified, the update.zips provided for use with the old ClockworkMod builds flash this to bml7. It's not clear if this is required for ROM Manager to boot into ClockworkMod, or if that will happen regardless of where the kernel is installed.

On the other hand, this ClockwordMod Recovery installs to bml8 and includes the ClockwordMod binary itself, so /sdcard/update.zip is not needed. Is that a fair summary?

If all of the above is true, then Koush's initramfs modifications aren't needed in regular kernels as long as either this, or his zImage is installed to bml8. However, by installing his zImage to both bml7 and bml8, one can access the same version of ClockworkMod whether "adb reboot recovery" or the power-up keycombo is used.

I guess the only problem is that, if one only uses Koush's zImage and it's installed to bml7, and their /system partition gets hosed, there's no way get into ClockwordMod to fix it since the stock recovery will refuse to load /sdcard/update.zip.

Can anyone help me out? every time I try flashing a rom there will always be a Signature verification error.

[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
so does this work with rom manager?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jsnryn:
I doesn't for me. rom manager just takes me to the stock recovery. Power off and reboot with the volume/camera/power button combo works. Nice to be able to nandroid....
[Epic 4G Android Development] jimmyz:
I am slightly confused-when you use rom manager to flash the recovery where does it go? I'm assuming bml8? It also look like from the post above that for rom manager to work bml7 must be modified but this post seems to say that rom manager can work if only bml8 is modified? I am really confused!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jimmyz:
From this "stock recovery" can run update from koushs file (renamed to update.zip and placed on the root of your sdcard) to get to clockmod? In other words can you fakeflash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
That's the problem I ran into... It only boots into Koush's CWM Recovery when I go to ROM Manager and specifically tell it to reboot into recovery. The 3 button power up and apply sdcard:update.zip keeps giving me signature error so I can't get into CWM at all if the ROM doesn't boot. LOL

To me, n00b NL's permanent install is the best since you can always recover from a bad ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jimmyz:
But why not install koush's CWM recovery to bml8 as well- that way the 3 button should take you to the CWM recovery giving you a way out if your rom doesn't boot.

What I would like would be a custom rom that is a rooted stock kernel with CWM capabilities- is that available yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
That's why I said IMO, n00bNL's method is the best because you can always recover.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jimmyz:
So maybe the best of both worlds is koush's on bml7 and nobnl's on bml8- I think?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
If it's permanent, I don't see why you'd need to use koush's method because it only works if you've got a rom that can boot and load rom manager. LOL.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jimmyz:
Yes- so you would have the additional "advantage" of using Rom Manager
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
so this one doesn't work with rom manager but is better? and the other one works with rom manager? jeez, this is getting so difficult, maybe I should just wait for Amon Ra :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
Yea, too bad the developers don't really explain what's going on, but after reading mkasick's post, it makes sense.

"The kernel Koush released contains an updated initramfs that allows the stock recovery (in whichever partition the kernel is flashed) to boot the fake flash ClockwordMod binary from /sdcard/update.zip. Although I don't think Koush actually specified, the update.zips provided for use with the old ClockworkMod builds flash this to bml7.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
But does it really matter at all since the permanent CWM install is the same binary as the non permanent.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Can someone make this flashable? I have the ROM Manager CWM Recovery, but the logic in the posts above makes sense to me (Koush's on bml7, noobnl's on bml8) and getting the best of both worlds. Is it even possible to make this flashable?

Also, does this method allow proper abd reboot recovery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
I think that It should already be flashable. You would have to flash both n00bNL's version, then koush's. Or vice versa since they're both overwriting different partitions.

So i clicked Flash Clockword MOD Recovery from within ROM Manager, selected Samsung Epic and downloaded 2.5.1.0. I have tried Backup Current ROM and also Reboot into Recovery and both seem to go to the Stock Samsung Recovery and appear to "find" an update.zip and then fail due to it not being signed. I don't have an update.zip in /sdcard/.

I am fairly new to this but I've been reading every thread and post and havent seen this happen to anyone. Did the recovery not flash correctly or do i have to rename it to update.zip and move it to /sdcard/? Any help is great,thanks!

PS - am rooted with Joeykrim's permanent root method

EDIT: just tried update.zip method from first post and received same error about it not being signed, any help?
