Problem is, I still don't know how to use Odin. Are there any good walkthroughs that you know of that will help me out? I'm reading this one but still am a bit confused.

(http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/)

I should probably just stay away from all this flashing business.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZacAttack:
OK so in Australia we got the SGS FroYo 2.2 update in November and when I went to upgrade my phone everything went stupid. Basically I'd never needed/wanted to root or anything like that my phone was running with its basic firmware plus OCLF to fix the lag. Basically I got over excited about the update and didn't read anything and well I bricked my phone because I didn't remove OCLF. That was fine and dandy until I released that my 3br would not work anymore (don't ask my why) so i had to send it in for warranty. So thats the background/past before everything went stupid again.

Now I got my phone back and the 2.2 upgrade had been installed the repair deatils where:

Now like I said I got my phone back and everything was fine & dandy but I noticed it was really slow, slower then 2.1 was. Also my D button would not work, no matter how hard i tried to press it, even when I swiped over it the blue line thing goes around it. Along with not being able to press the d button, anything located near the side of the screen would just not register my touch. Also my phone would just decide without me touching it to just select things and malfunction, type whatever text it liked, it also would constantly scroll up and down and basically just screwed my head in. Now I thought this was just a temporary error so I restored factory settings through 3BR and privacy settings method and it seemed fixed. So I applied z4root so i could OCLF back to fix the lag but that bricked my phone so I had to reset it again and then I applied voodoo lagfix (the one click method from market). I didn't really notice and difference with the voodoo lagfix so i disabled it and bam! my phone went even more stupid. So I googled and searched xda and removed voodoo entirely by flashing back to the original firmware and that seem to fix everything but the D for about 5 mins and now its not as bad as it was but its still malfunctioning all over the place and I can't even have it on the 1st screen without it constantly going into my contacts and trying to delete them or type things...

So what do I do? If I send it back for warranty will they notice that the firmwares not optus but the orginal (from samsung-firmwares.com)? will that break my warranty? Plus sending it for warranty now will mean I won't get the phone back till January at the earliest. Or can someone suggest something else to go about fixing it?

Sorry about long post, thought going into detail would be better and more helpful.

Hi I use Beautiful Widgets Weather clock over the stock HTC clock as it offers more customizations. I want to know does it uses more battery than the stock HTC clock?

No significant differences in my experience. But I only use BW when I'm running AOSP ROMs, so there might be a bias there. But BW uses very little juice.

i bought one from ebay is it worth it?could i have gotten a better one?

condition is mint no scratches or anything
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] the-nj:
hey,

i bought the phone a few month ago for about $300...

and of course you could have gooten a better one...

But here's the BIG BUT:

-when you want to have a hardfware keyboard then theres only one other phone...the desire z (about $600)

-if you dont need the keyboard then u could get the HD2 if u want it to hgave windows mobile

-or you could get the desire wich in my eyes is a high end device without any limits for now...

--->but thats all a matter of what you want to spend for a new phone...

but i can only tell you that it is a great phone i use it every day and its just great to have the keyboard...

and for that price $200 you couldnt get a better phone then this one!

just flash a cusom rom and the phone is just awesome!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DebbieNY13:
Not a bad price; was it a 'bid' or 'buy it now' option?

I was lucky to snag one with a bunch of accessories (including 2 batteries, 3 cables, 2 AC chargers, a spare battery cover, extra stylises, & an Otterbox) in mint condition for about $150 shipped. It was a buy-it-now sale, so I assume that I got that deal because the seller really didn't know what it was worth. The seller was changing carriers and just wanted to get rid of the phone.

Since the phone has been discontinued and the new Windows 7 phones are out, the prices are coming down quickly. I'm not ready to jump into a W7 device, so I'm happy with my purchase.

Keep reading the forums and, if you're brave about customizing it, I'm sure you'll be happy with this device, too. Enjoy!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Avatar28:
Was it an unlocked device? It wasn't a BAD price, really but I don't know if I would consider it a great one either. The phone is a bit on the slow side these days, but not excessively so. They are still selling new Android phones with even slower CPUs. But it's no Snapdragon either. The hardware keyboard is nice. I thought about moving to a Focus with WP7 but I really don't like the soft keyboards and I am not impressed with the Quantum.

So, yeah, not a real helpful post, but the TP2 remains one of if not the overall best WM 6 device out there. AT&T is still selling it for $199 and you would be locked into a 2 year contract for it so if you got it for $199 I suppose you did okay. Especially if, as previously mentioned, you aren't adverse to a bit of out of warranty modding and custom ROMs.

so using this guide we can pull parts and what not from other elements of themes we like and create our own framework to push back? Also, based on what you have, shouldn't it be easy to put this up on bid for hire (?) website to create a program to automate that?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nukedukem:
Yes the idea of this guide was to help people pick and choose icons they like in other ROMs and add it to their own. I'm not sure what bid for hire is?

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
Interesting. Didn't know anything like this existed.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evolishesh:
Thank you, thank you!!!! I've been looking for something like this for a while.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nukedukem:
No prob. Let me know if it works for you.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
I couldn't get the auto signing to work, but the manual way of doing it worked.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
Hmm, I got a boot loop on first try and doing this. Does that mean something went wrong with the signing, or that what I created for the theme was wrong? I used the empty .zip folder and re-zipped it, so I don't think that is the issue.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nukedukem:
The signing should be ok. If you are using Amon_ra recovery it wont let you flash an unsigned zip I believe. Are you on sense or AOSP? Are you editing images or just copying from other ROMs?

What you might want to do is just create a simple test file. Change just one image and then flash that. That should let you know that your process is correct.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
I using Amon Ra and using AOSP. I was moving some items out of a sense ROM so I guess that is where I might have went wrong. I think I'll take your advice and move just a single image and see how that works for me. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
I tried again this time I ended up stuck at the EVO white screen. I'm guessing it doesn't like the sense part I'm trying to throw in there. I'll have to try again with a AOSP theme instead.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nukedukem:
A couple things to look out for when swapping sense/CM icons - some file names are slightly different between sense and AOSP. Rename any sense icons to their AOSP counterparts and vice versa. Also, double check the image size of the icon is the same in both, i.e. 70x70 pixels, ect. and make sure you are not adding images that don't exist normally in the framework. For example there wont be any 4G icons in CM framework.

Also, make sure you aren't unzipping the new framework-res.apk you want to theme and flash, or trying to resign it. Only sign the flashable zip, not the individual files inside. The only thing you want to do with the framework-res.apk you will package and flash is open (not unzip) with 7-zip and navigate to the res/drawable-hdpi folder so you can drag and drop the new icons into it, overwriting the old.

I hope that helps!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] spence341:
How important is it to re-sign? I have modified the Framework and Resources apks with 7zip by switching images out. I have also modified the Rosie.apk. I put everything back where it was supposed to go, backed out of 7-zip and flashed. I have never had an issue with it, nor have I re-signed it. Just wondering.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nukedukem:
AFAIK if you are on clockwork recovery, I don't think it checks for signatures. I think Amon_ra requires a signed file to flash. I think it's just added protection against flashing any old junk. If you can flash in amon_ra without a signature and you don't have problems then I wouldn't worry about it. It's the signature of the framework-res.apk ( or com.htc.resources.apk) that's important. That's why you don't unzip it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xlGmanlx:
I think that

1.7.0.2 = yes

1.8 = no
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
Thanks, any advice does help.

I did make sure the the icons I was swapping out were named the same thing in the CM ROM, but I didn't check the size of it at all.

I didn't unzip the famework-res.apk but instead just went into it with 7-Zip and dragged the icons into that. Then I backed out of 7-Zip so that it would save and close everything properly - know that does work because that is how I add the Fold transistions to the ROM - and then I put the famework-res.apk into the folder and zip it up per your instructions above. Then I manually sign it (still haven't been able to get the auto-signing to work) and then flash.

I'll have to try again moving a CM theme to the CM framework-res.apk and see if it is working. What I was attempting to do was take, from the Batman Theme for sense, the drop down notification shade with the Bat Icon and put it into the CM ROM. I don't know if you have time to try it yourself to see if it works, or if you get the same issues that I had.

Either way, thanks for the help! I know I'll get this theming down at some point! :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evolishesh:
Hey buddy.

I’m stuck. I had to download and install Eclipse with the sdk plus java. I don’t know where to go from there. Every time I open the rom that I want to theme and get the framework.apk and edit the PNG’s , how do I go about saving them? Do I just used the same name as the old ones or I have to save them with a new name.

Or pm Me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nukedukem:
So the new amon_ra doesn't require a signed file to flash? I'll make a note off that. Thanks.

OK I'll try and do what you are trying to do and see if it works...

So now you have an unzipped framewor-res.apk with a bunch of images. This framework should be the one that you want to take icons from. If not, start over with the ROM you want to copy images from. You will want to copy the images you want to put into another ROM so that you can dump them into the new framework-res.apk. After you figure out what icons you want to bring to your new framework, get a clean version of framework/com.htc from the ROM you are actually running - i.e. if you are running myn ROM on your phone, download the myn ROM and pull out the framework-res.apk or com.resources.apk that you are going to theme.

Now with this fresh clean framework you will "open" it with 7-zip to navigate to the /res/drawable-hdpi folder so you can now drag and drop the images you want to copy over into it. Then the close the 7zip window and your framework-res.apk is all set to flash. You don't need to rename if the file names are the same, you can just drag and drop and the files will be overwritten in the new framework.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nukedukem:
Is this what you are trying to do? Maybe my steps aren't very clear or something? Here's what I did in under 5 mins:

1. download batman theme and my current ROM (CM6.1.1)

2. extract framework from batman theme

3. unzip batman framework and pull out status bar image with batman theme

4. "open" the framework from CM6 and drop the new image right into the drawable-hdpi folder and close 7zip

5. Put new CM framework into the empty zip I provided (without signing -thanks to xlGmanlx for pointing out it's no longer necessary with amon_ra 1.8)

6. Flashed in recovery.

The boot will take a while because it has to rebuild a lot of caches. Maybe you just aren't waiting long enough for the boot?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
Holy Cow Batman, you did it! lol

I did all those previous, maybe I just didn't give it enough time?

I noticed that the Batman file (status_bar_background) was 480 X 700 and that the same file in stock CM 6.1.1 was 180 X 180. Does the different file sizes not matter? Don't get me wrong, I'm all about keeping this as simple as possible, so if I was almost there before I'll give it a try again.

Amon_Ra will flash unsigned zips? I never knew that.

By the way, I like the icons you have for your LP dock!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
Dang, didn't work. At least this time I didn't get any bootloops. Followed the above. Will have to try again later.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
Yeah; that sums up what I was doing. Going to give it a try again!

Here is the previous zip that I created and flashed, but didn't work for me. See anything different from yours? Or, if you still have yours somewhere can you post it for me to pull apart and compare vs. mine? If it looks the same I can then flash it as well to see if I get it working like yours.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
Great news, the fourth try worked!

I took all the icons I wanted and dumped into another folder. Then put them in the framework-res.apk with 7Zip and closed it back up. The only thing I did differently was that I didn't make a new zip folder, but instead I used the themes full zip.

With success now I will feel more confident doing more themeing.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nukedukem:
Awesome!! I'm glad it worked for you.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] OGWisdom:
Everything went just fine, thanks for your wisdom. I even jumped off the deep end and themed an app, following these instructions....I am proud to say that I got superuser to theme just as I wanted it.

Ok, so which files within the apk need to be changed in order to change the look/style and color of an app icon???
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
Disclaimer:

maybe this is just my phone, but I doubt it since there are *so* many bricked phones that have to do with updating framework-res.apk when installing a new theme.

Also I've bricked my phone with any other suggestion by the theme creators on how this should be done.

Here's how to safely update framework-res.apk (only via command shell) :

- Upload your new framework-res.apk to your sd card:

adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk_new

- Remount R/W your /system:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system

- Move framework-res.apk_new to /system/framework/:

busybox mv /sdcard/framework-res.apk_new /system/framework/

- Update the perms correctly:

busybox chmod 644 framework-res.apk_new

- 'Atomically' replace the old framework-res with the new one:

busybox mv framework-res.apk framework-res.apk.orig && busybox mv framework-res.apk_new framework-res.apk

Its REALLY important that the last command completes (and it does) before the phone reboots because without a working framework-res.apk it won't give access to su to have it replaced afterwards, hence, your phone is bricked! Also every time you tamper with this file the phone reboots instantly! The last commands ensures that there is enough time for the new framework to be in place before the phone reboots.

Hope this helps avoiding some needless reflashes :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
thanks for this :)

"cat" methode" works to your phone reboots without permissions but it will just work :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cupidz:
Not working for me.

Maybe the file is wrong?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
What do u mean? Just compare the downloaded framework with the one in /system/framework
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kingoldstyle:
or

Or you can copy that file (in a routed device with rootexplorer) in folder system, after that change the atributes like in picture down, than, cut from system and paste overwrite in framework , and than restart ( in my opnion is more sigure, and more simply ) ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
This way got me bricked one time :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DaRk_dOg:
nobodyAtall, i have used the root explorer method for over 100 changes of framework-res.apk and i didn't brick even once.

The key is to copy the framework-res.apk first on /system and after chmod to 644, move it (dont copy it) to /system/framework.

Even if the phone reboot while you have framework-res.apk on /system, android can't read it as system element.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
mv is what works. The point is that there is huge confusion on how this should be done, something that bricks a lot of people's phones.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DaRk_dOg:
Check the installation procedure on this one.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicmora5:
I successfully flashed (cm6) for the first time and got everything working correctly but I can't seem to find the Android Market. Now from what I read I need to install the gapps file. I found it downloaded it straight on the phone. Am at the clockworkmod recovery, but.....how do I install it?

install zip from sd card?

Wont that mess up the ROM

sorry im fairly new to all this.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 911jason:
From Clockwork choose - install zip from sdcard, then - choose zip from sdcard, then browse to where you saved the gapps file and select it. It won't mess up your ROM.

Disregard, I rebooted and redid the process and it worked out, thanks for the help!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
Yes you install the gapps.zip file from Clockworkmod recovery by selecting install zip from sd card. You need to install it from ClockworkMod because all of these Google Apps will be installed in the /apps directory. No this won't mess up the ROM because the structure of the zip file determines what gets written to the various partitions on the phone. The gapps.zip file contains files that will be written to the /apps directory. A ROM zip file will typically have *.img files in it like boot.img as well as files for the /apps directory.
