[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] _calum_:
Alright, it seems that a lot of people have started trying out all of the themes that are popping up here. And why not eh ;) there's a lot of great looking themes flying around (once I've finished constantly messing up my phone with dodgy modifications I might even settle on one myself :D)

Problem as I see it is, the same questions are getting asked over and over again. And the same solutions are being presented. I know there's the 'How To' sticky for using chewitts installer, but the installation issues are getting posted everywhere: all through each theme thread, in the sticky and even in new threads (I have to admit, I've only seen one, but I don't really want to see a trend starting).

My suggestion is to make this the one-stop shop for all installation and restoration issues. I'll use the next few posts for the different kinds of issues (phone won't boot, market doesn't work etc) and their known solutions.

As the thread progresses with new issues I'll update.

Please note: I do not want to do this on my own :p

I will need (and I expect) the help of all of you out there that are creating these things that mess up our phones :D But, seriously, it would be nice if you guys subscribe and help out when you have the time.

This is really just an effort to clean up the forum here a bit, and make life easier for people trying to get information out of the theme threads, and, last but not least, to help the themers (is that a word??) avoid posting the same answers to the same questions over and over again.

I will look at the poll again after the weekend. If the aye's have it, then I will ask for it to be stickied and fill in some gaps. If not then this thread will self-destruct... well... you know... I'll ask a mod to delete it...

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] mezo9090:
First of all, great idea :D

As for me the problems i mostly met was:

- Market issue not installing Apk's after applying themes, to solve it you have to clear cache and uninstall updates from the "manage applications" menu.

- The other issue was the phone not booting and stuck on SE logo, and had to do a reflash, i remember seeing somewhere that you can flash only on file using flash tools and it will make your phone boot and keep your data but i actually don't remember where i read it :mad:

- Other issues at start of my theme"ing" life was chmod, installing adb and setting environment in windows settings but thats easy now - at least for me -:)

i will try to add more later :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] crecsky:
Market issue - uninstall market update. Not related to theming.

Phone boot problems - improper installation of framework-res.apk.

chmod - if you have the improper permisions (shell root) you wont be able to push framework-res.apk to your phone, that's why they have you check your permissions. If they aren't proper the installer tells you how to remedy that.

Protip: backup your apk's after you've flashed your phone the last time and set them all up. In theory all your setting should be saved as well. The backup and restore program should be useful as well if you have to reflash.

***I voted no for us needing this thread because all the theme installation questions are easily answered in the theme's thread itself if the person properly reads the post. Also, if people are having doubts they shouldn't be theming their phones without properly figuring out what they have to do, let alone rooting it.***
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] _calum_:
Theoreticaly you're absolutely right, that's why it took until now to open this thread. Practically, however, things look a bit different... I think another two or three threads popped up yesterday... And how many times have you read about "the market issue" on one (or all) of the theme threads?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
Absolutely correct. The Market has been having issues since 1.6, and it's not just on the X10 either. Do we need the thread, not really, as most themes popping up use Chewitts installer and there is a sticky for that already or the issue has already been addressed in the themes thread.

However, you could change the thread to a common X10 issues thread which could be moved to general or rewrite THIS thread as you seem to be covering issues that are more general than theme related anyway.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] _calum_:
yeah, fair enough. I just saw all the issues coming up in all the theme threads and how you guys were having to repeat yourselves again and again. I don't really want to get into any other issues other than theme related stuff.

Like I said, I agree that the market issue has nothing do do with themes, but just count up the number of users that posted in the res mods thread because of it.

Anyway, as I was primarily going to put this together to make yours and chewitts life easier (as you two bare the brunt of this), I'll ask the mods to delete it.

I might just write a little bit on recovery and send it to zm4.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
TBH, I'd rather you focus on your your reference thread, as that will be of more benefit. :)

Hi!

I have a big problem!

Since I flashed JK5 I don't have any vibrations when touching the soft buttons! I already checked the settings and it its enabled! What should i do?

Sorry for my bad english!

Greetings jakob
[Galaxy Tab General] blacklevel:
Hi there!

I don't think it's a JK5 problem because it works here. But I had to do a wipe/factory reset after flashing. Before this many apps were missing on my device after flashing without wipe/reset.

Cheers Mike

Actually i got no vibration since i installed clockworkmod! now i uninstalled it and did a factory reset now it works fine :)

I appologise if this has been asked before but did a quick searchand didn't find anything RE: Cloning.

With the upcoming MAGLDR i'm assuming it will wipe any trace of WM 6.5 from the NAND so Android (and WP7) can be written to it. No doubt there are flashaholics out there who will want to flash different versions of Android but from a WM 6.5 point of view is there anyway to clone our current build with settings so it can be restored at a later date?

Thanks,

I'm looking for a app that has video chat, Are there any good ones out there?
[Droid 2 General] HerroMoto:
You can try one called "Tango". Video is a little choppy and sound isn't too great, but they are working on it and it's one of the more popular applications.
[Droid 2 General] newmod:
I am using Fring from the market.. it works great! video quality and sound are great! except from the fact that there's no front facing camera on the phone, it's right next to skype imo.... i use it to talk to my daughter at work
[Droid 2 General] wyzzerdd:
I was going to use fring but I cant seem to get it to work with any of my contacts.

Ive been messing around with bambuser which is more of a broadcasting tool.

To solve the non forward facing camera I created a nifty little gadget which mounts the camera facing toward you and uses a mirror on the other side so you can see the other person on the other end. It works very well for being a cardboard box, curtain rod wall mounts and duct tape lol I attached some pics of the rig.
[Droid 2 General] HerroMoto:
That's quite clever lol! I can't believe I never thought about that.
[Droid 2 General] toberino:
Yahoo has a plugin for messenger for video chat. Its in beta right now and seems to work pretty good. The mail, messenger, and video are intregrated into one another really well.

Cool ill try it out, I wish there were more video apps out, video calls are the future for sure.

I just reinstalled cyanogen mod 5 (HTC DREAM) because I was having problems. Reinstalling it fixed the problem I had (it wasn't booting for some reason)

The problem I have now is retarded. When I push the end (red) button it doesn't lock the screen. [I've done this: spare parts > end button > set to sleep & settings > apps > dev > stay awake off. ]

Also the home button does not do anything anymore (it still works, as it will unsleep my phone and light it up). It should return me to screen 3.

Also, when I hold the end (red) button it use to suggest airplane mode. Now it just has restart/shutdown. thats not really a big deal though. It not locking the screen at all though is a huge problem. makes the phone unusable (due to pocket dialing :( )

Please help. thanks!

Did you wipe your phone? For me this happened some time ago and the only chance was wiping data. You can try doing a nandroid backup, wipe your data and chech if it works then. Otherwise you can restore your backup ;)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
was it the latest version of 5?

I do remember in some of the RC's the menu button would unlock the phone no matter how it was set, that was specifically fixed in the next version, same with the home button. just throwing out ideas :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
I don't know @ the unlock screen stuff, but the home button action in cm6 can be configured in cmparts, so I'm assuming it can be configured in spare parts in cm5. Sometimes it can also be configured in the launcher's settings. @ the power options only containing restart and shutdown, if I remember correctly, the addition of airplane mode and sound on/off into the power button hold menu was an addition in cm6, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong there.

For the screen not locking, definitely suggest what the other guy said, do a full wipe/factory reset and reflash, and make a nandroid backup beforehand. So either way, even if it doesn't fix it, you can just restore, like the other guy said. Start with that, beyond that I don't know what else it would be.

If it's bricked you need to flash it I believe.
[XPERIA X10 General] iconata:
i looked a bit on the web and found that if my phone displays a yellow exclamation mark (like it does) that means it's not actually bricked.. there is hope for him, but that hope may only lay in the hands of the sony ericsson service center... because my phone bricked during a seus update process and according to Bin4ry that means the phone has a bad nand sector.. and we'll only have to find out if it's true..
