[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ivipopi:
Hi,

I would like to change look of some icons - for example wifi icon in upper rght corner and others.

Is there some possibility to use something like themes (no themes in launcher) because I see on some pictures on internet that it is possible.

Could you tell me,how to change it?

Thank you very much
[Epic 4G General] y2bangali:
Okay so I just found out that froyo has been released for the epic (yeah im late).. but I'm kinda confused on how to install it.. i'm a noob now so please help by giving the easiest steps.. I have bakedsnack 1.6 rom and kernel install in my phone and so far what I know is that i have to use odin to install the dk28 update. Question is how do I use it step by step? i checked the acs and viperom thread, so I dont wan't to go through the hassle of rooting my phone again. How can avoid that and use biperom at the same time?

Thank youuuuuu..
[Epic 4G General] mikel719:
There is numerous threads with step by step directions all over this thread. Do some searching and you still find it. You will want to start off by downloading odin. The files you will need are in the same thread to put in odin to flash. Just search, search and search some more and you will be fine.

A quick backup, wipe, reflash, restore apps worked for me...just saying.

battery is at 50% now, after 12 hours of moderate use. Whereas before it would be beyond dead.

Wonder what could have caused this? I've flashed RC2-4 with the same battery drain problem (no wipe). Any insight?
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Just have to make sure you wipe cache and dalvik before upgrading to new cm. Its the proper way to upgrade as far as the kernel goes. That should be your steps as far as flashing any kernels. Battery life on stable version seems a lot better to me. I can go well over 24 hours of use with good usuage.

[G2/HTC Vision]
[G2 and Desire Z General] sundar2012:
u using cm kernel or pershoot?
[G2 and Desire Z General] bdong:
ah, yes. :facepalm: forgot to include that

wipe dalvik, cache, and battery stats.
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
I'm using cyanogens kernel. With all my profiles set to the ondemand governor. You'll see a big difference in battery life. Pershoots kernel is amazing as well. I've used both. I get great battery life with either.

[G2/HTC Vision]
[G2 and Desire Z General] kcm117:
Backup from Within Rom Manager or in the Recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ok11:
There's 1 thing that confuses me. In recovery, it has the Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and in the advanced menu, it has the wipe davlik cache. Do i wipe the data AND cache partition with the davlik cache? Just keep seeing people mention 2 wipes, but there's option of 3 from recovery to choose from.
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
If your upgrading to a new version of CM OR flashing a new kernel you ONLY wipe cache (NOT DATA/CACHE aka Factory Wipe) and you wipe Dalvik cache under advanced menu.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ok11:
Thanks for clarifying that for me.
[G Tablet General] prerunnerseth:
So I got a good report on battery life from this morning. We had an especially long and boring staff meeting. When i started I had about 90% battery. With very heavy use including video, flash, pdf viewing, after 4 hours I had 33%. not too shabby.
[EVO 4G General] fmedina2:
When I was running CM I used Google Voice since I couldn't get Sprint VVM to work with it. However I wiped data/cache/dalvik and am now running Warm (Sense ROM) so Sprint VVM will work. Even though this ROM does not even have the Google Voice application, and my voicemail settings are set to 'My Carrer' I am still getting my voicemails through Google Voice and not Sprint VVM. How can I fix this?
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Did you unsubscribe on the google voice website?

[Fascinate General] bigal2908:
Hello Everyone I felt my previous explanation of the problem I am facing may not have been a good one so I am going to try explaining my problem again. I am currently experiencing several problems. I have a samsung Fascinate. When the phone was working fine I rooted it and all was still fine. I then installed clockworkmod(rom manager). I tried installing several roms by downloading them to to rom manager then selecting the one I want then rebooting the phone. But everytime I tried installing a rom by selecting apply update.zip from sdcard E:signature to verifly whole-file signature, E:signature verification failed, installation aborted. After reading through some of the links in xda developers forums I realized I need Odin. Once I installed Odin it never recognized my fascinate in the ID com column with in Odin. I made sure the phone was mounted by selecting mount from top drop down menu from fascinate. At the same time I notice that in Windows XP it would say USB not recognized although Fascinate would show up as a mass storage when checking under explorer and see a F: drive for the phone. Iam able to see the files in the phone and transfer if necessary. I then tried getting a new update.zip and rebooting to menu where u select apply sdcard update.zip same error of invalid signature. then tried cwmrecovery and rebooting ..no luck either. Then I found a link containing a file named stock.zip...but no luck either. So I decided to wipe and reset to start all over and when I did that and the phone started and I unlocked the screen I began getting endless forceclose. This is where I am now. Does anyone have any suggestions.
[Fascinate General] azreedtech:
You need to download the Samsung drivers first. Then proceed to use Odin.
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
Also wrong section.
[Fascinate General] soba49:
Download mode is easy:

Step 1. Power up your phone (while phone is off, press power and release), then

Step 2. Immediately hold volume down until you see the yellow Android warning sign.
[Fascinate General] bigal2908:
I downloaded the usb drivers for mobile but ti still didn't wok. What else do you think it might. When I connect the phone to computer (windows XP) on the lower right it says USB device not recognized.
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
Are you pointing the device driver installation to the path where the drivers are? And did you download the drivers for your correct cpu 32 or 64 bit?
[Fascinate General] bigal2908:
I forgot to mentioned that I have installed the samsung usb drivers two times. still no luck. I even read that if you unplugged the usb and then shoutdown windows xp and physically disconnect power and wait about a minute or two sometimes this would help xp recognize usb port. I also tried disabling and enabling the port via manage in my computer on xp while the fascinate was connected and also tried it disabling and enabling while phone was not connected no luck eitherway. Any other suggestions. Thanks inadvance for everyones suggestions.
[Fascinate General] bigal2908:
the drivers I downloaded are 32 bit. how do I point the drivers as you have mentioned. I also tried downloading android sdk tools and tried to figure out how to push the files top the phone but when I typed adb device under listing devices it does not show the phone or anything for that matter. I am confused now as to what may be the original problem and how to tackle the problem should I work on USB problem first then force close then update.zip any suggesstions.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
You need to go to device manager, find the phone under the section that talks about not recognized usb's, right click on it then go to properties, then you need to manually select the drivers you downloaded..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
i used odin to flash stock 2.2 froyo, then flashed bionix fusion. i have all of the features of froyo, but when i check on "about phone" it shows that i have 2.1update1... what's up with this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
Can you tell us what features are you talking about?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
most notably mobile ap (wifi tethering)... don't know how to check if i have adobe flash...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrizk07:
Ummm, fusion is a 2.1 rom. So it makes perfect sense for it to show 2.1

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
but its showing that i actually have the stock 2.1-update1 operating system... not just the 2.1 fusion. do i need to flash a custom kernel or anything?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
I think that's fine. Everything's working normal? And the mobile AP is really usable even if it's not froyo.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnielsen40:
As was said, Fusion is a 2.1 ROM. "2.1-update 1" doesn't mean anything other than it's based off the firmware released a while ago by t-mo that "updated" the existing 2.1. As far as Mobile AP - that's not a 2.2 exclusive feature. I remember it being the first thing I enabled after rooting, but was still 100% 2.1 stock.

If you want 2.2 back, but also want the custom goodness that is TW, check out their Obsidian ROMS (or Onyx if you don't like touchwiz).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrizk07:
2.1-update1 is the version of android you are running. Not the model of the ROM. if you flashed Fusion and you see all the stuff that Team Whiskey added, then you're running fusion.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
actually, it doesn't appear flash is working... when i went to a site that uses flash (for streaming music) it would not work....so apparently this is a problem i'm having?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnielsen40:
Dude...you're not understanding that Fusion is 2.1, NOT 2.2! So obviously you won't have Flash 10 support.

You need to reflash a 2.2 based ROM if you want all the 2.2 capabilities.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
diesel, thanks so much... sorry i missed that in your above post... you have been very helpful. i started a new thread asking about a 2.2 rom. Thanks guys!
[Desire General] djattiman:
Hi, I am a newbie in the Android world.

Here is my problem: when I turn off my HTC Desire HD and connect it to the charger, after a few seconds the screens lightens up and show the menu of the Clockwork Mod Recovery

How come? How can I solve this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
I'm uploading a Gingerbread system image as a zip so you guys can try some Gingerbread apps or pull images to make Gingerbread themes and what not. Enjoy!

DOWNLOAD

There doesn't seem to be anything new in these apps other than new themes for the launcher and keyboard, but if you still want to try, copy them to /system/app, change the following line in /system/build.prop, and reboot.

Working

Not Working
[Captivate Android Development] biggem001:
STOKED, i'll be checkin out the apps ASAP
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
What does this system image include? it's too small to be a ROM...
[Captivate Android Development] biggem001:
trying out MMS, Brower, and clock? on CM 6.1. lets see how it goes.

... booted fine....
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
An entire system folder.

edit: Changed wording here so people don't try stupid things.
[Captivate Android Development] KCutrer1:
Now when you say "...booted fine..." what exactly do you mean?
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
huh? what? how....?
[Captivate Android Development] biggem001:
re adding one app at a time. had to restart

added mms.apk.. lets see...

Parse errors, i believe the files needed to be edited to work on 2.2(.1)
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
screenshots of the apps??? :D
[Captivate Android Development] KCutrer1:
Alright let us know. I tried moving Launcher2.apk and Music.apk to /system/app and then rebooting, but Launcher2 doesn't appear anywhere (Home Switcher, etc.) and the Music icon is just gone from the app drawer, so I guess I'm doing something wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
Not one that you can install...
[Captivate Android Development] biggem001:
you did nothing wrong, the apps WONT install. parse errors? i believe the it's something to do with the manifest? manifest does say for android 2.3
[Captivate Android Development] Athailias:
How funny, I am downloading all the sdk stuff now and came on here to see what people were up to only to find that you already posted what I was trying to get to ...
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
Try changing this line in build.prop and reboot:

ro.build.version.sdk=8

to

ro.build.version.sdk=9

edit: This works. At least for Launcher2, which I just tried.
[Captivate Android Development] KCutrer1:
Well then I guess it's kind of bittersweet. That's a scenario where I would've gladly been wrong if the apps worked.
[Captivate Android Development] biggem001:
in CM6.1

MMS.APK - WORKS - looks nice (pretty much normal AOSP look), super fast.

edit- lost all signal.. restarting...if still no, changing modem.

edit2- restarted, signal back.

Browers.apk - FC

Music.apk - FC
[Captivate Android Development] KCutrer1:
How'd you do the install? Did you use a file manager to move the apk to /system/app, or did you just navigate to the apk and hit install?
[Captivate Android Development] biggem001:
once build.prop changes, any method works.
[Captivate Android Development] jivy26:
Anyway you can upload the launcher2 and messaging for gingerbread?

Running Perception Build 4 w/ Setiron 1.4.1 1280
[Captivate Android Development] KCutrer1:
Hey guys just thought I'd report in with some observations. I got Launcher2, MMS, Music, and LatinIME installed and working. With LatinIME the only problem was there was no prediction of upcoming words. Then I installed DeskClock.apk, NetSpeed.apk, SystemUI.apk, and UserDictionaryProvider.apk (in hopes of fixing lack of text prediction). When I rebooted after installing these four, it got stuck in a boot loop. Unfortunately since I installed four apks at once, I couldn't localize the problem to one in particular. Though if I had to guess I'd say it was probably SystemUI.apk, as when I installed that it told me it was for the status bar, which may cause some issues. I'll try to install one at a time and see for sure which one causes the issue.
[Captivate Android Development] KCutrer1:
Hey gtg, when are you getting the FC in LatinIME? I installed got that running fine, it just lacked prediction. Did you move the libjni_latinime.so from the gingerbread system image to /system/lib?
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
Ahh... nope didn't move that.
[Captivate Android Development] KCutrer1:
One other thing that's kind of weird. After I got caught in the boot loop, I reflashed CM (Beta3 nightly), and now for some reason my change in build.prop won't stay. I'll save the changes, remount/reboot, and then when I check it again, sdk version is back at 8. Don't really know what's going on.
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
Hmm still can't get LatinIME to work.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Checking this out. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] KCutrer1:
Really? Like at all? That's strange. How did you install it? Because rather than installing it by clicking on it, I moved LatinIME.apk to /system/app and libjni_latinime.so to /system/lib, then changed the permissions to read access for all, first check box for write, and none for execute, on both files, and I could use the keyboard no problem, aside from no predictive text
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
Got it. I was copying over the Gingerbread user dictionary provider, which I guess was causing problems.
[Captivate Android Development] KCutrer1:
Ah see that may have been it. In an earlier post I said I couldn't localize the problems I was having since I installed 4 apks at once, but i guess userdictionaryprovider.apk was contributing
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Is there any significant changes to the gmail app on gingerbread? Anyone willing to take a chance to see? :)
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
That's not part of Gingerbread. You get that from the market so you already have the "Gingerbread Gmail app".

No go on Assonance

I have tried to get this working on a Captivate and its a no go.

cant wait to try sounds like fun

I got mms.apk worked, like the white background rather than black

email.apk is same as Froyo don't see any changes. I like email.apk from Galaxy tab better

keyboard has been worked flawlessly!

[Nook Color General] sdelcegno:
I have a nook color, I was wondering if anyone notices a very slight screen flicker like a low refresh rate? Most people would not notice. It doesn't bother me much but I wanted to see if its normal. I notice it most on a dark grey background at 50 percent or lower brightness.
[Nook Color General] ericejs:
Yes! finally someone that notices it! I have been posting this on other forums. I notice it too on dark backgrounds with about 20-40% brightness, Not sure if it can ever be fixed with an update, but it is sometimes annoying, although not highly noticeable.
[Nook Color General] sdelcegno:
I have worked with computer enough that I can tell the refresh rate of a crt just by looking at it. If its normal I am not to worried I justed wanted to know if it was defective because ill switch it out before I root it.
[Nook Color General] boret:
I get the same thing, very noticeable when you are changing the brightness setting. I use the lowest brightness to read an eBook, and I can really notice the flicker when I lower the brightness, but I can notice it when I get back to the reading screen.
[Nook Color General] rckymtnrfc:
I see it on darker images...its so subtle I ignore it.
[Nook Color General] jta:
I still have mine stock... but I see it as well.

Anyone that has loaded any other apps notice it in those apps? i.e. does it flicker noticably in Angry Birds? or other apps?

thanks.

[Nook Color General] sdelcegno:
I wonder if it being an IPS screen has anything to do with it. It doesnt bother me to much but causes more eye strain than reading from my htc g2. You would think they would make sure an ebook reader doesnt flicker. oh well i can deal with it.
[Nook Color General] plympton:
It's not the screen, per se, but the LED's that are lighting it up. From what I've read, LED's can't vary output with respect to voltage (they're not dimmable), so you have to pulse them very fast to change the output. I assume that the lower the "level" the more the LED is off vs. on, hence the flicker.

Dang I can't post links yet...

Go to Wikipedia, and look for :

/wiki/Backlight#Flicker_due_to_backlight_dimming

I'm pretty sensitive to this, but haven't noticed it on my iPad, but apparently it does it as well. I was wondering why the stock lowest brightness levels were so friggin' bright - probably at the threshold of flicker. You can dim more in a browser or ebook app, which is where I see reports of flicker.

Another reason why I like my old CCFL IPS 12" ThinkPad X32!

[Nook Color General] nemoscat:
While you can dim an LED by limiting the current (either via inline resistors or with constant current drivers), you can only do so to a degree. Below a certain current, they will simply not light even though the current goes through the LED. On high performance LED's this is still at a pretty bright level. So instead you use PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and vary the duty cycle to brighten and dim the LED. As the PWM is at a fixed frequency, with more or less of the cycle being lit or unlit, once the unlit portion becomes substantially longer than the Lit part, you can detect the "Flicker" if you are sensitive to it. This is usually particularly noticeable in the "corner of the eye" if you pan you vision across the area and the device gets paned across you field of vision.

This is done on all the new LED tail lights on cars as well and I hate seeing them at night, when they are almost making me nauseous from the flicker.
[Nook Color General] sdelcegno:
Good info thanks. Makes sense but wonder why I don't notice on my led backlit netbook. Guess every screen is different.
[Nook Color General] ericejs:
yea I really wish there was an update to fix this, but i guess it's just the screen, funny how I have never noticed this on any LCD screen I have ever had from computer to TV
[Nook Color General] glacon:
three nook colors - my experience with flicker

My first nookColor had screen flicker, also a mind of its own with phantom taps. Nook #2. Did not have noticeable screen flicker but did have a handful of stuck pixels. Took it back and picked up #3. No stuck pixels, but I've got screen flicker on dark colors. Find it strange that nook #2 didn't have te problem with the flicker. I don't like the flicker at all but think it may be timento live with it.
[Nook Color General] glacon:

Has any one returned a flikering nook color and gotten a better one in return?
[Nook Color General] jpl605615:
Hello, I am having a similar problem with angry birds. My screen sometimes will flash different colors and today the screen stayed completely red for 2 or 3 seconds while playing the game. But other than that I love the rooted nook color. Maybe the graphics chip is not powerful enough for this game.
