Can I change my texting back ground so when I open a text the background is black instead of white?? Also can I get my notifications to be clean instead of white?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
I'm sure there has to be a way to do this
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
I use chompSMS, it lets you change the backgrounds for the conversation and the conversation list. Handcent works the same, if you want to try those.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
I'm not sure how I feel about them although my battery is dying a lot slower without the white background (I think) I'd like handset a lot more if I could have the icon for it... I think the stock icon just looks better. Can I change icon and name?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb02:
Changing the background is probably just an image file in the MMS.apk that you can edit the color you want in. only problem is the text is black, meaning you will have to edit an .xml file which is a much longer and difficult process.

I tried another Android (mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.8).

I installed Radio ROM 2.08

1.) I runned CLRCAD

2.) Runned HaReT

After the Message "Jumping to Kernel"

The display looks very scary, looks like a graphics bug oO

The orange Power-LED is on.

And nothing happens

EDIT: Now with the Radio ROM 2.08 I tried darkstones Froyo one more Time, and it boots, it seems that Stock Roms need Radio ROM 2.08.

Thank you guys

Hello...

I have the european version of the HD2. It was branded with T-Mobile Software and all calls have worked fine. I changed my provider so i was forced to flash to another ROM.

I took this one : RUU_Leo_HTC_GER_1.66.407.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship

Then i installed this Radio ROM : Radio_2.10.50.08_2

I wasn't satisfied with Windows Mobile, so i copied a Android Version on my SD.

This one : darkstone_HD2Froyo_v1

Now i have the problem, that everyone that is calling me hears an echo of himself. I have no problem on my side. And before i start Android this problem is also present in Windows Mobile.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a solution to this?!

Thx
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
The best thing you can do is upgrade your radio. Get something 2.12 or above, but get a 2.x.50, not a 2.x.51.

Hey guys,

i wonder if its possible to pull the MIUI lockscreen into a sense rom. i dont like the "click-on-colored-babyish-iphone-icons-style" of MIUI but the lockscreen is awesome!

Any ideas if there is a way to do this?

greets

sebastian
[Desire Themes and Apps] fllash:
Last time I checked, the lockscreen didn't have its own APK. I think it lives in the launcher's APK. That mean's it'd be pretty gruesome to port over - at least not as simple as copying over an APK. Its a pretty cool lock screen though.

Maybe MIUI will donate the source for their entire launcher - it runs as smooth as silk...im sure there is code that could be used to speed up the stock one. Not to mention that it has the transparent notification bar - which launcher pro doesn't do yet (which is the next fastest/smoothest launcher, aside from MIUI)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] DroidX007:
I just noticed that Raiderep has been hard at work getting another solid theme out there for the Epic users. From what I have read this theme is a port from a Galaxy S phone that was created by a developer dena1994 over at Cyanogenmod forums. I'm just drooling over this theme... :) If anyone else thinks we need this theme for our fascinate. speak up on this thread, hopefully we can get someone to work on getting this ported over and working on our fascinates soon!

If someone is willing to port over this theme for us I will be a tester for it to help the wheels of progress along.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Goron:
Having really massive battery drain with ALL recent builds (±8% per hour in Standby), i found out, that it seems to be related to the hardkey lights. In former builds i just ignored the installation instructions and everything was fine (1% per hour in Standby). But since i followed the instructions carefully my battery started to drain like hell ...

Now, this is what i figured out:

- running clearcad and haret with hardkey lights ON results in really heavy battery drain

- running clearcad and haret with hardkey lights OFF results in WinMo like battery life

Anyone with similar issues who can confirm this, or maybe has a solution as well?

Cheers

Got question? feel free to start a new thread over at HD2 Android General Discussion!

IDK I thought the other way around ???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raysacr:
I thought it was the opposite as well. I read in threads where people were saying to press the back key so that the keys light up when Haret is loading, and that would help with battery life.

could you tell me how to turn off the hard key lights

thank you
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Flashben:
I too have the same idea as the thread owner, if i change to Andriod with the Hardkay lights on, it will remain on in the Andriod mode and will drain my batt like hell!!!

how to make the Hardkey button off/on?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Goron:
??? In WinMo start explorer, navigate to your android folder and start clearcad + haret when lights turned off?

The light is turned on by keypress and the effect wears off, after about 15 seconds, when no key is pressed ... starting android only requires tapping display, and not pressing any key ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
Maybe this will help

Light File

This solution sovled my problems in earlier builds.

But now I'm using mattc 1.8 and hastarin 7.1.

Hastarin adds such a light file to his kernel. Try this out.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyballoonot:
I have a Samsung Captivate. I recently flashed to Cognition 2.2 Beta 5 via Odin.

With Titanium Backup I was able to restore ALMOST everything, including most of the apps and account settings, which makes restoring almost painless

However, I can't restore TEXT messages. When I restore either:

[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage

[SMS/MMS PREFS] Messaging 2.2

I get the following error every 5 seconds or so making the phone virtually useless- Sorry!

The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Force close

The only way I found to recover from this error is to use AnReboot (or manually reboot into recovery) and delete all user data. It took me a while to track down exactly what was crashing the phone, as I was randomly restoring stuff

One time I was able to catch a glimpse of the texts before it would repeatedly crash, so, I know that they are intact

I suppose my question is if there is any way to port the messages over, or should I just install an older ROM use another tool to backup the texts and then re-flash...Heck, I should just do that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
its because you are restoring system files from 2.1.....i would recommend using something like SMS backup+ to backup all your SMS messages....it sends them to your gmail so you never have to worry about it. no mms support, but its in the works
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyballoonot:
No MMS support definately is unfortunate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulletproof1013:
This is Not q and a , this is android dev.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahlquist:
As pointed out this is not Q and A and should have been posted in Captivate Q&A or Captivate General or Captivate Themes and Apps..

First off though while I wish everything worked together perfectly this isn't a perfect world. Secondly your complaining that an app doesn't work properly with an unofficial OS release that is called beta even by its creator and that was released 6 days ago! You downloaded a bleeding edge release, be prepared to get cut every now and then.

Cognition rocks as a whole but you need to have realistic expectations for the software developers. They may not test their app with every hacked rom out there, they may be unwilling to possibly brick a device just to see if things work right and they may be wholly unwilling to support 3rd party roms.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8Danes:
I know this may be a silly question, but did you do a reboot after you restored with Titanium? I know my SMS and MMS did not show up again until after the reboot. May also affect many of your other app data.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sicwan:
I had this problem too. first, backup your SMS messages with SMS Backup & Restore. then, archive your MMS Messages with Save MMS (it will move all your MMS pictures to the sdcard folder) AFAIK there is no program out there that will restore MMS messages to 2.2 from 2.1. you can restore the SMS messages w/ SMS backup & restore just fine going from 2.1 to 2.2

mine would flat out hardlock the phone when i restored my SMS/MMS w/ TiBU, or with my backup pro
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetablaze:
I had MMS issues when I was running beta 4, all I did was one Odin click back to 2.1 and install beta 5.5 with clockwork recovery and It worked fine after.

- DG + Froyo + Captivate = The best threesome ever!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyballoonot:
Apologies, this was obviously my first post. I wasn't sure whether this was developmental due to the app, or a phone issue...Please move if necessary.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyballoonot:
I wasn't complaining at all. I was simply asking if there was a way to port the texts over.

I simply said it was "unfortunate", as it would have been nice to have my MMS/SMS work as everything else does.

I do agree that the Cognition release is pretty awesome. Not sure why the mail was changed, and a couple other features, but, all in all, 100% better than stock 2.1

I realize it's bleeding edge. I wasn't "expecting" anything, but, when MOST things worked and this didn't I was simply trying to figure out a solution.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyballoonot:
GR8Danes-I did reboot. In fact, nothing really restores until after a reboot, and after the reboot is the exact moment it "breaks".

Sicwan-to be clear you can restore SMS, but, not MMS? by archive you basically mean save the attachments I assume. With the SMS, does it at least maintain the threads?

cheetah-I wasn't aware that you could use clockwork with 2.2 beta 5. I thought that involved kernal swapping, or the like. Could you provide a link, or a few more details? This is really the only caveat I've found.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyballoonot:
Ooops...Double post
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrrrramos:
I had the same problem you had, where I restored data from 2.1update1, and it caused a phone crash. I now use SMS Backup & Restore, it backs up and restores every text message, and maintains the threads as well. The only issue I have had with it is that it puts all the MMS messages I've received as the first messages. But on that note, I've also found that it does back up MMS, at least for me...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyballoonot:
Maybe I'll give that a try. The TXT's are really the only thing that has me stuck. I have a clockwork backup of my 2.1 image that has tons on it, I have new one's since I've been testing these ROM's.

OK, well, maybe not JUST the texts, but, trying to stay on topic here.

I find myself in an odd spot though. I would like to get all my texts consolidated though so that I can make images of both the old OS, and the new OS, however, I know that if I use clockwork to backup everything as is, it will likely "break" when going backwards.

I'd like to try BETA 6 as well, but, there's even more hesitation as I actually dig car mode (although the music button doesn't work), like moxier, and a few other things that were removed. (Now I've digressed)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] designgears:
Do NOT restore system data with Titanium Backup!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyballoonot:
OK, that was subtle. Would you happen to have a constructive alternative to restore app settings, MMS/SMS and the like? If TiBu can't restore system data, it's virtually useless.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
app settings can be restored by using the batch method on TiBu entitled restore MISSING apps and data NOT apps and system data!

anything in your batch restore that says 2.1 DO NOT restore

USE a different APP for backing up/restoring SMS messages
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyballoonot:
[BOOKMARKS] Browser 2.2

Accounts

Bluetooth Pairings

Wi-Fi Access Points

[USER DICT]com.android.providers.userdictionary 2.2

[CONTACTS/CALL] Contacts Storage 2.2

[VOICEMAIL] Dialer 2.2

Well, I've successfully restored all of this with no issue (except I don't really believe that my dictionary restored, it just didn't break)

If there was a different APP to restore my SMS/MMS without limitations I'm open for suggestions, why they would choose to make those system files to begin with is beyond my comprehension...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
i never restore ANY system data....it only takes a few minutes to change those settings for system apps anyway.

as long as i dont restore ANY system data, i dont get any FC's
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] designgears:
set everything up manually. Save your MMS pics to your sdcard. If you have something important in your SMS, forward it to your email...

My comment is not useless, you got an error, posted on here about, and I tell you not to do it because it doesn't work... This is where you should realize something, "HEY, THIS DOESN'T WORK, maybe I should find another way to do it". Seems you didn't get that far, so I have given you an alt route.

If you need a one-click solution for everything and refuse to think outside of the box, you shouldn't be using android. <3 my iPhone4 and iTunes, click backup, click restore, all done. (btw, iPhone4 is my primary phone.)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyballoonot:
Touchy aren't we? I am here to find a (Simple) solution to make the process a litle easier. Like most, or maybe more than some I have lots of data, and it's pretty painful setting everything up from scratch. (especially if you changed 3 ROM's in a couple days). I would prefer for the process not to take several hours to get everything back to the way I like it.

I did figure out that it didn't work, which is obviously why I'm here. Again, trying to find a solution that DOES work. I'm an IT guy by trade, but, not a coder, and new to the Droid scene. I do appreciate the effort from ALL of the app/ROM developers

I have an iphone4 for work and despise it. I had a 3G for the last 2 years. I find nothing appealing about it, or iTunes. In fact, the sycn/backup for iphone I'm not fond of either. The ONLY thing IMO the iphone does well that the Droid doesn't is OUTLOOK integration, and Itunes. I have no idea where to even begin to buy music on my droid (as if I buy music, "just sayin")

There are pro's and con's to both I suppose, but, I whole-heartedly prefer the Captivate. I'm actually drooling over the Windows Phone 7, but, I'll give them a while to get up to speed.

Regardless, it's just that you came off, and are still coming off as a bit condescending. I understand this is your release. I do enjoy it, thanks. Just simply saying "DO not" without suggesting an alternative (aside from different hardware) really isn't helpful.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] designgears:
Extremely condescending... but what does that have to do with finding a solution, which I offered in the text you quoted and you are still going off about no solution and failed to present one yourself and decided to just go off on me about not handing you everything on silver platter...

Oh hey, moved to q/a, back to the dev hideout!! bye..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyballoonot:
Your "solution" was to save my attachments and FWD SMS's to email. That's not really ideal. I would like to maintain the SMS/MMS as is, with threads, attachements, etc. Maybe I'm being picky.

I don't have a solution myself. That's why I'm here, trying to get input. For F#$k's sake man.

My original IDEA was that I could restore back to 2.1 and use an APP that would allow me to save the TEXTS, AS IS, flash back to your release and restore the data. Obviously TiBu isn't the solution. Other's have offered other apps, but, none that seem to do this flawlessly.

If it's not possible, it's not possible. That's why I'm here. I uderstand that you do this for free, as a hobby, or whatever, but, if you were in the business of selling your warez, would you have the same attitude towards your customers? I would gladly have this discussion with you via PM or email, but, you have no contact info listed.

I never intended to start any kind of battle, or whatever with you. Just a guy trying to make his life a little simpler while enjoying the quality product you provide. If I would or could develop software perhaps I'd be able to offer a better solution. For now I'll just assume that there's no feasable way to make this work in the manner I desire. Thanks again for Froyo!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrrrramos:
Download the app and back up all your new texts. I'd make a copy of that whole folder and back it up on your desktop just in case.

From there, do what you would normally do to back it up, and Odin Once Click back to stock. You'll be on JF6, and you can restore your CW backup with all the settings and your old texts that it has stored. From there, again run SMS Backup & Restore, and copy that file just for safety's sake.

Load up Cog2.2B6 and restore everything you've been doing that isn't system data (although like you said, there are some portions that won't give errors) and then restore your SMS through SMS B&R, restoring the texts from 2.1 first, then the texts from 2.2 secondly. It should maintain the thread structure, and you should be able to have all your apps.

It can be a pain and take a while longer than you'd anticipate, but that's all part of flashing ROM's. I've gotten to the point where past TiBu, it only takes about 15 mins to get everything back to exactly how it was.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyballoonot:
That seems like the best course of action. Thanks

Do you have a suggestion for backing up the "folder" that contains the TEXTS. Not sure where it is. Again, I kinda have stuff everywhere. I was able to reload much of what I had simply by mounting my SD card to my PC and copying everything, but that shotgun approach kinda sucks, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't copy some of the sytem folders. (how could it while they are in use)

Sorry for asking a trivial question

SIDENOTE: I fond this app on another site: Android Manager WiFi. Seems to be similair to Kies and New PC Studio for anyone that owned older Samsungs. I does have Outlook sync, Syncs MMS/SMS, Photos, Videos, Music and more. I've only started testing it, but, seems like a nice app
