Cpt.Curry, I don't recall you asking for permission to make a port using either of my MIUI themes. I started both threads with "Please do not repost (or port & upload) my work without permission; do not claim any of my work as your own; I've put a lot of time into making this what it is today. Before doing anything questionable, ask yourself how you would feel if someone took credit for your work. Thanks for understanding." Did you read that? You did give credit for the work appropriately, but what concerns me is that you didn't honor my one request.

Anyways, If you guys like what you see here, check out my original Smooth Green thread- I've made quite a few changes from what Cpt.Curry is using in this theme and continue to work on it every 1-3 days. I've worked out all (as it seems) bugs and continue to theme the system apps. As always, check out the original thread for updates and to report any bugs you may find. Yes, it works on Nexus, too.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793358

In addition to that, check out my Smooth Blue theme- again, where Cpt.Curry got most images from. I haven't posted an update in a few days, but the next one is ~70% complete and should be up within a few days. It, too, will contain all the latest fixes and is an improvement on the last. Check out its thread here:

Overall, these are pretty much older releases of my themes with some extra [not necessarily appealing] color from different works.

Cheers.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Cpt.Curry:
I apologize to xvenom89 I had no intention to steal his theme in any way, for now the links for the theme will be removed until I get permission for theme. I made this port for myself and decided to share it with the nexus one community but didn't know it would hurt the theme developers for using there theme. I am sorry....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sold1erjjt:
Ok, i hope this wasn't addressed, but I don't believe the Captivate (or the Galaxy S line for that matter) has native support for FLAC Content. Just wondering if there are any apps or anything out there to get FLAC support on the Captivate? I know there were a couple mods to add FLAC into the Nexus One with Custom ROM's. Is there anything like that for the captivate?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryman27:
It does in fact have FLAC support, but it's not very good with the tags. So everything is by unknown artist on unknown album.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sold1erjjt:
Wow, ok cool, so do you know of anyway to get the tags correctly, I am kind of a neat freak when it comes to organizing my music (i.e. i have to have album cover and album name and artist, track, etc.) haha.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryman27:
Other than converting to mp3?

No, but "AMPlayer alpha" on the market might work, although it doesn't look as good as the built-in player.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sold1erjjt:
Yeah well i would like to rip some of my CD's in to the Holy Grail Lossless format, but i would like to be able to know what song i selected, haha, hmm ill have to look at it, thanks.

[Vibrant General] denny_1986:
anyone else having this problem? Before i was able to connect my phone to the computer and add/del the files to/from the phone's main memory and sd card. Now the phone won't show me the "mount / Unmount" option anyone (although it does play the ding sound when i connect it to the puter).....:confused:
[Vibrant General] denny_1986:
nvm got it to work. Changed the usb settings to "ask on connection" and that did the trick for me. :D
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
I've the same problem... setting it to "ask on connection" is just a workaround... It should work with "mass storage" option set like it did on stock JFD.
[Vibrant General] Metalman1020468:
I've had the same problem but it doesn't matter what is chosen under usb settings. After about ten to twenty minutes it finally pops up. This is very frustrating does anyone know a solution?

Anybody else have the problem of getting a force close when dialing *2 to call sprint customer care? I get the error "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly blah blah.." Any ideas on causes or fixes?

This really isn't a big issue...I haven't seen any other related issues. But I just can't help but wonder why. I am running Fresh 3.3.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] KaLiBLeeK:
Figured I'd share these since I threw 'em together after using 2.2 for a bit and going back to 2.1...

They're modified framework-res.apk, Mms.apk, and Settings.apk files. You can copy and paste them over the existing apks via RootExplorer (which is the method I used), or you can push them via adb...provided your permissions are setup and you don't get the "access denied" messages.

I think I managed to get all the notification/settings menu/power menu icons skinned. Most of the dialogue pop-ups are also the dark blue now, instead of the regular blue from 2.1. Also, the battery meter is basically the stock battery meter, but it's actually accurate. It's the same one used in the Cognition ROMs, minus the numbers.

I've only tested these on my phone, obviously, but they worked on Cognition 2.1 as well as stock 2.1 ROMs.

Instructions:

#1: Rename files by removing "TWEAKED-" portion from file name(s).

#2: Copy or push files to appropriate folders via RootExplorer or adb. (framework-res.apk goes in the "/system/framework/" folder, Mms.apk and Settings.apk go in "/system/app/" folder).

#3: Reboot. Depending on how you copy files over, you might get a force close error before you reboot.

Enjoy!

[Captivate Themes and Apps] tytdfn:
That's awesome. How did you do this if you don't mind me asking?

Yay no more fc
[Captivate Themes and Apps] KaLiBLeeK:
I just copied the framework/mms/settings apks from both 2.1 and 2.2 to my computer, and then grabbed the image files out of the drawable-hdpi folder in the 2.2 apks...moved those into the 2.1 apks, and then moved the updated apks into the appropriate folders on the phone with RootExplorer.

Hopefully that makes sense. Haha.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] 88EVGAFTW:
Any idea why my battery icon wont show? I have the phone rooted and have Root Explorer installed. I renamed the stock apks and just pasted the new ones in. Also the Power Control widget does not work any more. Says "problem loading widget"
[Captivate Themes and Apps] KaLiBLeeK:
No idea, I've never had either issue. You can try copying the APKs over again and rebooting to see if the battery meter shows again.

None of the APKs should have any effects on the widgets. I don't use Power Control but SwitchPro and everything else works fine.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] KaLiBLeeK:
Also, if you're renaming the stock APKs on the phone with RootExplorer, instead of just making backup copies of them, before copying over the new ones, that could be causing problems. That's the same as actually deleting the stock APKs, which are necessary system files. I've only installed them by overwriting the existing APKs with the new ones, then rebooting.

via the SDK:

adb push <file on your computer> /data/local/

If you don't know how to use ADB, search it up, please.

I have no idea how to do it via root explorer, but I assume it involves replacing the bootanimation.zip in /data/local/ with the one you downloaded.

Sorry, I just do everything through ADB.

Ok - just tried using the X10-Root apk, and it didn't work. Neither did the UniversalAndroot.

When you said "2nd link", it leads to something in the middle of a gigantic thread, and refers to steps 1, 2 and 3, but doesn't explain what either of those are. I may be a programmer, but I'm also not familiar enough with the process.

I really need to root it to get VPN access, so any help is appreciated.

[XPERIA X8 General] shranksy:
Hi all,

I'll start with apologies as I'm a newb but while we're on the X8 does anyone know how I can flash a UK generic firmware / add the Market to the phone. I've Googled for the firmware but there doesn't seem to be anything out there. Problem is I've bought the X8 in the UAE and Market isn't installed. I had the same issue with my X10 but there was UK Generic firmware at the time so that was easy...

Please advise.

Thanks
[XPERIA X8 General] goeland86:
As far as I know (if you read this thread early on, and other threads about the X8), you can't actually flash a new ROM onto any of the Xperias at the moment.

For market, there's probably a way to install the apk if you can get a hold of it. You might need to root it though.

EDIT: I mean non-official SE firmwares, there's a digital signature involved that makes things complimacated.
[XPERIA X8 General] shranksy:
thanks for the reply goeland, I managed to flash an official uk generic firmware to my X10 a while back and that's how I managed to get the market working but was wondering if SE had released a UK generic for the X8 so I could do the ame and get market...but it doesn't seem like they have.

Would using the new root technique help me in anyway to installing the market??? Perhaps with Market Enabler or the other one (that I can't rmember the name of) or is that just for enabling paid apps?
[XPERIA X8 General] wolfilein:
Maybe eris market fix help you ;-)
[XPERIA X8 General] goeland86:
Or I can upload the market jar or apk files. I had the stock install with market et al. Tho I did root it, and tried to install vpn. Let me know if the market enabler works. If not I'll have a few zip files to upload.
[XPERIA X8 General] shranksy:
well it appears neither Market Enabler not Market Access can add the Market to my X8. Neither does the Eris Market fix. So would you mind adding the Market apk files and hopefully I can add it manually...other than that I'm pretty screwed until they release a new UK generic firmware.

Thanks again for all your help guys.
[XPERIA X8 General] goeland86:
As promised. Just sideload it and see if it works. Let me know if you need any help with it at all?
[XPERIA X8 General] shranksy:
lol I need help already....what do you mean by sideload? Do I need to use something like Linda file manager to open it?

EDIT: Ok I used Linda FM to open it, it has installed but still no market. Any other suggestions?
[XPERIA X8 General] goeland86:
Ah, let me upload a few more .apks then. I thought that was it but I suppose not.
[XPERIA X8 General] shranksy:
coolio thank you
[XPERIA X8 General] goeland86:
argh. I keep looking and looking, and none of it makes any sense! I'm not sure what apk files you'd need to have the market running.

If anyone else knows where I need to grab the files from, please feel free to jump in anytime...
[XPERIA X8 General] shranksy:
Anything yet??

And I know this is off topic but how is the progress on cracking the bootloader do you know?

Wondering whether or not to update this week.
[XPERIA X8 General] shranksy:
Hi again,

What if I flash UK Generic for the X10 mini/pro??? I've read that the X8 & X10 mini run on the same software. Is that possible?
[XPERIA X8 General] shranksy:
Anyone???
[XPERIA X8 General] goeland86:
I'm guessing they're not the same software, actually.

The X10 mini has such a small screen that the keyboard drivers are different. On top of that, the internals of the hardware (aside from CPU & Ram) are most likely different. The camera, for instance, is a different one on the X8. The touchscreen as well. The X10-mini ROM won't work properly on the X8 because of that, since it's been compiled with drivers that are incompatible.

Sorry!
[XPERIA X8 General] shranksy:
Ah ok, thought I was hoping for too much. Goeland, any luck with finding the Market.apk for me?
[XPERIA X8 General] goeland86:
Sadly, no.

But I do wonder - if you install the PC-companion and install the software for UK/Europe version, you can go in the support area and "repair your phone", which essentially is going to flash a clean firmware on it. Obviously you'll want to backup your contacts and settings to the SD card before doing so, but you might just get yourself a different firmware installed on the phone from the SE website itself.

Just think it might be worth looking into.
[XPERIA X8 General] shranksy:
Ok good thinking, anything's worth a try. Thanks again for all your help and quick replies
[XPERIA X8 General] shranksy:
Goeland (or anyone else that can help),

This is my last cry for help. What is the customization code you have for your X8? It has to be from an X8 that currently had the market installed. I'm hoping I can trick it in the same way the nordic updates have been done for the X10.

Thanks again
[XPERIA X8 General] goeland86:
If you tell me how to get that code, I'll be glad to help you out. I just don't have a clue at the moment, and been swamped with hw. (working on a master's is hard work!)
[XPERIA X8 General] shranksy:
A Masters hey...genius in the making?!?! :o)

From the lock screen press the following key sequence:

Home, back, back, home, back, home, home, back

You should then have "service info", select this and then "software info" the customization version is what I'm after.

Thanks again mate
[XPERIA X8 General] goeland86:
Uh, this is a pain. The key sequence doesn't work. Tried using the dialer code (*#*#4636#*#*) and there's no software info tab anywhere in sight... Does it have anything to do with the build.prop file? That I might be able to find.
