Add the "big icon" using DV - Don't assign any app to it, leave it blank.

Add a transparent icon using DV - Assign the first app.

Add another transparent icon using DV - Assign the second app.

.. Yeah. Then use LauncherPro to resize the blank shortcuts to fit the big icon nicely.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Kameo:
Thanks for the tip, it might come in handy.
[Desire Themes and Apps] korbi:
Thanks for the answer! But I cant figure out how to do this:

I can add the big image. And I also added to transparent images with DV. But I cant move the transparent images over the big image. This doesnt seem to be possible?!???

Cheers

Anyone else with their G2 having this problem? Everytime I delete a picture I just took, a blurry image of it will stay on the screen and I HAVE to press the back arrow for it to delete completely and go back to camera mode.. Thanks guys.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gurk04:
I have a similar problem. My pictures do not go away until I press home. If I press delete and then back, when I go back into the gallary the pictures will reappear.

Other than this, I have none of the other issues with my phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] Skunk2 DC:
Weird.. Wonder what's causing it.

hi i am currently unrooted after i recently restored my phone using the 2.2 SBF. i redownloaded most of my old applications but a few of them for some reason will just not install and i just get the yellow /!\ mark that says "install unsuccessful" everytime. specifically angry birds and i few other paid apps do this to me and i really want to install them. i tried clearing market data and cache in settings but still did not work. so any help with this?
[Droid X General] thepolishguy:
I know you sbf'ed. But is it possible some data got restored and possibly corrupted since when you log into your google account they automatically restore data for you? Have you tried using root explorer to browse through /data/app and see if there are any files there?

Of course you will have to be rooted to do that. just a thought. the only thing I could come up with.
[Vibrant General] patriot1973:
So a friend called me today and said he is having problems with his Vibrant and wanted me to come take a look at it. He explained that he flashed a rom and now everytime he boots it up, it gets stuck in a force close loop hell. I got there and verified that's happening and said that I could just flash him back to stock. Well, come to find out he's also hardware locked! I tried to figure out a way to enter safe-mode (have used this on my Mytouch but it had actual buttons to make this work) but it was no-go since it's capacitive. On top of all this, he doesn't have debug mode enabled and I can't get to the settings due to the force close loop and no working launcher/home. I couldn't get any adb commands sent to the phone due to no debug mode, so that means I can't even adb reboot into recovery. I spent almost 2 hours on it before I had to give up. Does anyone have any suggestions that I may have overlooked or not thought of?

Greatly appreciated! XDA has some of the smartest damn people around!

[Vibrant General] patriot1973:
Yes, in fact I had that very thread open on my netbook as I was working on his phone. There's one (of many) problem with this:

"turn on USB debugging in Settings-->Applications-->Development"

As I stated in my OP, he doesn't have debugging turned on already, and I'm unable to get to it in settings because at startup it's in a FC loop and I can't get to settings either by holding MENU or using the launcher.

Is there another way to get to phone settings besides those two methods? How about going into safe mode? I've done that before with my MT3G, but it has hard buttons that facilitate this with ease. With capacitive, not so much. Is it possible to enter safe mode on the SGS phones with capactivie screen?

[Vibrant General] cthach11:
What do you think caused the force close loops? Was your friend tinkering with his phone? Did he install a lagfix?Are you doubly sure he's hardware-locked?Did you try Download mode?

Lots of questions...I had this problem once. It was due to the fact that installed Ryanza's early lagfix and tried to remove it. My phone had a force close loop, BUT I had enough patience to wade through the loops and in the very short gaps at which they appeared, I managed to navigate the phone into settings (~an hour). The moral is: Try very hard to get into settings and don't lose your patience.
[Vibrant General] icandy75:
You can try booting into safemode, maybe that will help. Just turn it off and when it powers on the second you see the animation start press and hold the home button.
[Vibrant General] patriot1973:
From what I gathered, he tried installing the FrankenTwiz rom and something went wrong. He couldn't fully explain exactly WHAT went wrong, and so I'm coming into this whole thing without a lot of answers to help troubleshoot it. I know he's HW locked because that was the first thing I tried (recovery mode) and it's not able to get into it. When I fist got my Vibrant it was HW locked and the behavior is the same. I exchanged mine the next day for a non-HW locked. I tried every method to get into recovery/download mode but unable to. I remembered "safe mode" from my MyTouch 3G, but it needed the hard button (menu) pressed on bootup. Being capacitive screen, it doesn't respond the same way so I couldn't even use safe mode. He doesn't have USB debugging enabled and I can't get to settings to enable it due to the FC loop. I sat there pressing CLOSE a million times to find that "break" in the process to try and get to settings with no luck. Hope that answered everything.
[Vibrant General] patriot1973:
That didn't work. I thought safe mode was MENU, not home? (btw- which animation? The tmo pink or the Galaxy S? Tried both an no result.)
[Vibrant General] patriot1973:
Ok, figured out SAFE MODE!

Power up the phone and start pressing the capacitive buttons. As soon as they light up during boot up process, press and hold MENU & HOME all the way through until you see SAFE MODE appear in the bottom left of the screen. At that point you can release the buttons and you will now be in safe mode.

Now I just need to get in touch with my friend and meet up with him to try this. Hopefully it will break the FC loop from Hell and I can get into his settings to enable debugging mode.

**MODS - I didn't find how to get into safe mode anywhere in the Vibrant forums. Maybe it can be added to the Bible to help others? Thanks!**
[Vibrant General] icandy75:
That's new for me, mine goes holding the home key. Timing is of the essence though. I have to press and hold the second the S forms on boot.
[Vibrant General] patriot1973:
I tried multiple times using your method and no dice. I get consistent results with my method (MENU + HOME), so not sure what to say...

Anyhow, it looks like he's screwed. Met up with him after work and even though I can get into safe mode, the TW Launcher is still going nuts, FC hell! Unable to get it to stop long enough to get to settings to enable debugging. He's going to put it on Ebay for parts. Dude had it for a week and is out $400. Feel so bad for him, but I guess it teaches him a lesson. If you don't know what you're getting into with flashing ROMs, better step back and either ask for help from someone with experience or just not attempt it at all. This was his first flash attempt and he crashed hard.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tewilove:
Since we don't have vendor's source code, it's hard to modify JNI parts.

I have an idea.

For example, I want hook all operations through SQLiteDataBase.

SQLiteDataBase is registered in libandroid_runtime.so, then I modify framework Java byte code, inject an library(System.loadLibrary) into it.

In this library I first unregister the class SQLiteDataBase and then register it again with my implementation in the library.

How about it?

First time poster...

I bought an unlocked T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant from and Ebay seller two weeks ago. I am having problem connecting to kies mini, having tried the debug mode and updating to the working driver. (returns the message "unregistered device") I decided to look at the registry values to see what's up.

Apparently the product code is SGH-T959ZKBKOR and it's running JI4. I know that kies mini has problem updating JI5 to JI6. As I am a huge newb with smartphones in general, could someone kindly tell me if this is situation is out of the ordinary or if there is a solution to this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
Looks like the phone you got was played with, I would suggest flash it back to JFD via ODIN, and then upgrade to JI6.

Is that the right ROM for me?

Is it the original one?
[7 Mozart Windows Phone 7 Development] DerVampir:
If your Firmware ist: 2250.09.12505.111

your device rom should be: 1.25.111.05

and as you say your Radio software is: 5.50.09.18_22.24.50.09U

it is the same as in this thread:

TMO_DE_1.25.111.05_5.50.09.18_22.24.50

(see here: http_://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=915827)

Hi@all. i flashed my german nike300 several times. the last times especially with rataplans very well done roms. but now, the on-off-standby-button on the top of the cell works strange. right now i flashed the last german stock-rom (2.09xxxx). the cell works as it shout, but if the cell goes for the first time in standby and the display went black, i´m not able to reactivate it by this button. the only possible way to do this, is to slide the hardware-keyboard out. some flashes before, this button works as it should. if i try to reactivate the display after a few seconds been black, it worked with this button, but not, if it spents more time. could it be a software-problem, that comes because of to many flashing? or could it be a hardware-defect? is there any solution? may be a disambley-guide or so?

best regards

[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
I am keen to remove the redundant settings in the TouchWiz taskbar - you know, the brightness settings and toggle switches.

From the logic of previous android devices, these settings are an app running in the background. I suspect the app is CP Message. Can anyone confirm this?
[Galaxy Tab General] randomlinuxguy:
Oh man i cant tell you how badly i would love to get rid of the brightness toggle when sliding my finger over the notification bar. it is my most hated feature of these devices. Unfortunitely it is still prevalent even with touchwiz removed.

someone should make a work around, put it in the market, charge $5 and make a living off sales forever.

unfortuniely i havent been able to find any accounts where people have been able to remove it or some of the other redundent touchwiz features.
[Galaxy Tab General] jeebspawnshop:
Why not try switch to a new launcher app, like ADW.Launcher or LauncherPro?

;)
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
As you probably know, because custom launchers dont modify the taskbar. For that you would need a custom rom.
[Galaxy Tab General] randomlinuxguy:
So far it appears as though custom roms are not replacing the taskbar though. Which makes me one sad camper.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
So far there are no custom roms.
[Galaxy Tab General] randomlinuxguy:
What would you call any of the roms that are posted at these forums? Why wouldn't they be called "custom roms"
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
I would call them roms for devices that are not the galaxy tab.

These particular subforums currently have have no custom roms.

If you want to be the first to make one, I and many others will be suitably impressed :)
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
bump - please move to development shr
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
So, you know, um, set Brightness to "auto" in Sound and Display and that locks the notification bar invisible slide to brightness feature.

I will say that the TouchWiz notification bar tweaks are one of the big selling points of TouchWiz for a lot of people. No accounting for taste, I reckon. :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shival:
A lot of things are never explained. Its really easy to just flash a ROM but there is a lot more to the process that could help.

I have soo many questions its ridiculous.. Why not ask them all at once? Im not dumb, I would like to see someone find complete information on any of these things..

1. Nobody ever explained what we can do with Clockwork Recovery, I know that I can restore previous ROMS with it but what else? Could I easily just flash back to my original 2.1 out of the box modded phone ROM even though I am on 2.2 now?

2. When I flash these ROMS, should I be doing like a format of the internal SD card to make it all fresh and what not?

3. What about App2SD? Thought sounded way cool when I first heard about it. How can I get that working? Couldn't I just use that and never have to backup my apps between ROMS anymore? Maybe I don't get it but theres no info on it either.

4. What is Nandroid? Sounds cool.

5. What would be the best way to back everything up between flashes?

At the moment, I just use TB to back up my important apps and then restore them + data afterwards. And for contacts and stuff I just uses Google sync, easy enough. It seems pointless to back up though because the Titanium Backup folder still remains after flashing, why do things still remain? Is this a good thing?

6. What the heck is kernel swapping and more specifically, what does it do? I have a general idea what a kernel is but feel free to explain!

7. Anything else about the finesses of flashing would be awesome to read about. This is all that comes to mind but yeah, feel free to really lay on the details.

I don't really care how ridiculous this seems, its a forum. More specifically, the Q&A section. Any help would be awesome!

[Edit] Ha, go figure. No replies. Was worth a try.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulphur4724:
Clockwork Recovery is a very useful tool. With it you can do many system type things before the os proper (android) is loaded.

You can install "mods" which are modifications to the system, such as zmod, or replacing your battery icon. They are given to you in zip files that have the instructions in place as scripts and such that install the mod for you. No creeping around your internal file system wondering what goes where and I hope I get it right.

You can install roms the same way.

A nandroid back up is the backup (for us) that clockwork recovery provides. If you do a rom manager or clockwork backup, you just did a nandroid backup. It lets you rollback to a point of your chosing as long as you can root your phone and install rom manager.

rom manager downloads the clockwork recovery app to your phone. As long as it's the most recent version you can move the update.zip it puts on your phone to your computer, and then you can put it on your sdcard anytime you want. Once it's there, reboot into recovery, select reinstall packages, and you should be in the clockwork recovery program.

From there you can create or restore a backup, install a mod, or rom from sdcard and quite a few utiliy scripts like formating your sd, removing battery stats, and the like. Careful. Some of this will wipe your data and leave you without apps and such. Like new.

Titanium Backup is your friend. A nandroid backup is a fallback spot, or a relatively easy way to switch back and forth between roms, sort of. If you flash a new rom you don't want to do that. Titanium Backup allows you to backup all your apps and thier data. If you pay for it, and you'll want to, it allows you to do it all as a batch operation, instead of one app at a time.

While it's beyond my time constraint's AND expertise level to answer all your questions, I hope these helped some?

Edit: Before messing with this it's a good idea to be sure you can do the button combinations to get into recovery and/or download modes. DesignGears has a thread in development that explains this and offers a fix if you can't do it. Will help keep/get you out of reboot loops if something goes fubar.

Recovery: From power off, hold both volume buttons down and push power. Hold all three until you see the at&t white screen. Hold for a second or so then release the power button while still holding the volumes. You should boot into recover there. Blue text with some choices. Move with volume up and down, choose with power.

Download: From power off, hold both volume buttons and plug in your usb cable. You should get a big yellow graphic with "Don't turn target off." That's download mode. (If you are planning to use odin or odin one click then have that program running on your computer when you do this.

(Just in case ya didn't know. Don't mean to talk down to anyone.)
