[Epic 4G General] gTen:
I remember hearing someone say they had this issue on multiple EVOs..not sure if its true or not but this is not an issue on the Epic.

Well both phones can do what you want...things come to mind is our Inferstructure tethering is right now 2.1 only, hopefully will be fixed soon..if ad hoc or wire tethering is what you need 2.2 works...as for mp3, we got 5.1 surround sound option if you have headsets that support it..

Boils down to your financials..I say go play with an Epic at the store to get a feel for it before deciding though...you can load up 2.2 on their demo phones while they arent looking too ;) lol

A lot of people use swype..most ppl use kb for long messages and gaming...in my case I need kb for remote desktop programming in emergencies...I use on screen kb by default...but I do enjoy using the physical kb for when surfing the net..I so hate using the onscreen kb when surfing webpages on all phones in general..mostly since..

1) web is ment to be surfed vertical resolution anyways

2) the onscreen kb popping up is a mess that blocks my screen :/

hence the physical KB makes surfing the net more enjoyable for me at least..

If you would like to know what we got going over the EVO its:

1) Better processor

2) 3x better GPU

3) 6 axis accelometer

4) super amoled

5) keyboard

6) Better camera

7) Better Audio

8) Gorilla Glass

9) Built in video drivers such as xvid/divx/mkv etc

10) and more...

and probably a few other things I'm missing...I'm not saying the Epic has no flaws..but its definitely a step up hardware spec wise..

Sorry if this is out there I did several searches before posting...

I have done multiple factory wipes, removed the SD card, using build DK17-Extended.art3mis, kernel 2.6.32.9, 2.2.1

No matter how many times I do a wipe and no matter what rom I use, (have used epic exp, viper, stock, quantum that I can remember) I will get whatever boot animation came with that Rom but over top of it flashing quickly will be an android logo, it will flash quickly for roughly the first half of the boot animation and then go solid but always is there, is there any way to get around it. Sorry if this is in either the wrong place or if I have given enough information. Thanks for any help on this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfsmw_gr:
Hi...

I was wondering if there's any kind of tutorial or something to teach someone how to install languages on android 2.2??

My phone is Samsung Galaxy S and i don't have greek as menu language neither as keyboard language....:S
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sukigu:
Hi everyone.

I installed ROM Manager and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery, but even though the phone said it successfully flashed it, when I enter recovery mode I get the stock recovery. I even tried using the apply sdcard:update.zip option, but it gives me an error:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

I even considered installing Amon RA's recovery, but there doesn't seem to be a version compatible with this phone. What should I do? Is there another recovery you'd suggest me to install? If not, what can I do to get the ClockworkMod Recovery to work? Any help would be much appreciated
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
You must have recovery 3e. Oh well, just flash hardcore's speedmod latest kernel in the Android development section via Odin to get cwm.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sukigu:
Sorry if my questions are too basic, but I'm a new Android user.

When I enter the stock recovery mode, it says Android system recovery <3e>. Does that mean anything?

On the creator's blog it says that SpeedMod "works on all stock Froyo ROMs XXJPO/DXJPA/XWJPA and popular custom ROMs", although his thread doesn't state so. My ROM is Froyo I9000BUJP7; am I safe installing this kernel? Also, I don't know if it matters, but my phone is network locked.

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
The reason you can't flash cwm is because you have recovery 3e which does not allow unsigned .zip

You must have 2e recovery. There is a way to get 2e but you gotta search for it. I'm on the road driving so I am a bit pre occupied to search for you.

Easiest way for you is to flash the latest speedmod kernel via Odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tragusman:
As android.francis said your best bet is to flash a kernel with 2e. I use cf root it always does the job for me.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iyousif:
I am having the same issue, now installed the Speedmod kernel, how can I enter the CWR now?!

My stock recovery still says 3e
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xporter:
Hello,

I had the same problem and I used cf root too. It works very well and if you use a stock rom you will find the rigth kernel there. I only had some problems to find the rigth kernel for my branding firmeware, because this I flashed a stock rom before and after cf root.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reydoog:
Clockwordmod Rom Mgr boots into 3e but up button/power/menu button boots speedmod 2e.

Here is a weird one I think. I installed stock JVH 2.3.3 (from wuala site I9000XWJVH.7z) which I rooted with CF-Root (CF-Root-WX_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS.tar) and then applied Speed mod (speedmod-kernel-k15h-t24-300hz.tar). If I press the 3 button combination I get the speedmod 2e recovery and can backup and restore, install update.zips and reformat partitions to ext4 just fine. So far so good. All updates performed using ODIN.

Here is the problem. I installed a 'paid for' version of ClockworkMod Rom manager (from the market) but when I select backup or 'reboot into recovery' I get the stock 3e kernel and it fails.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hello. I can't seem to get any of the custom keyboard .apk files to work with rubix 1.9.5 . Im trying to get the old droid x mulititouch keyboard on it instead of the new gingerbread keyboard that came with that rom.

[Legend Themes and Apps] Snowtoad23:
From the other thread:

Does anyone know if it's possible to apply such animations to screen rotations? Like how iPhones have a nice rotate effect when you rotate orientation, you see the screen rotate smoothly instead of just jump into place.

And I think these would be a nice addition to the rom:

Smooth Sense Icons: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=733682

would someone be able to port these to this ROM? They're in HDPI in that thread (for Desire), shouldn't be too hard to resize.

that smooth battery icon is even nicer than stock

What do you think?
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
@Snowtoad23: Maybe you could do the editing and upload the pics somewhere...I'd take a shot on incorporating them ;-)

@TheGrammarFreak: nice signature :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
Animations like what you want would be impossible I think, sorry.

It's been doing my head in recently, so many users not knowing about this. I wish they'd read the stickies. Ah well ;)

[Legend Themes and Apps] ayhaadam:
really great job! any plan for Cryshop's lockscreen ?
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
I can make that - no problem, but I'm planning to create a locrscreen that would look like cryshop's navbar - that would look even better!
[Legend Themes and Apps] ogo2:
I am currently working on something very nice...

Gingerbread menu panels - white on trasparent black background! :)
[Legend Themes and Apps] ayhaadam:
thanks a lot , really!!!!!!

can i ask how do i/we make mods like nav bar or lockscreen or stuff like these

i am ok at graphic but really an idiot at those techniques. any place to learn?
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
I actually suck at graphics :D Just obtained 3D max to create the lockscreen.

What you need is to extract the png's from framework-res.apk or in this case com.htc.resources.apk...Those are just signed zips.

Now in those zips in \res\drawable-mdpi\ you'll find three png's:

lockscreen_arc.png

lockscreen_arcglass_bottom.png

lockscreen_arcglass_top.9.png

As I can't edit .9.png's (those are different files than png's, don't ask me why :p)

I wanted to edit just the first png - i like the shape, it just doesn't correspond with the navbar.

If you can edit it, here it is:
[Legend Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
I'll try and have a crack at those smooth sense icons later on. :D Emphasis on try, I'm no themer/graphic designer
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
I already looked into it, the problem is that desire has a slightly different color of the statbar - we would actually have to re-create those icons not to mention those scripts...I already tried to create just one icon with my actual battery percentage just to see the result and it is very difficult to make those numbers in battery readable.

Other rhing I've noticed is that the original circle mod from BlaY0's ROM is in fact HDPI, but when I replaced those png's with those from desire, there was no icon at all...

I'd really need a better understanding how Android works :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
OK, here goes Cryshop's lockscreen + navbar: navbar+lock_B0.2-signed.zip

(TGF would you add that to the 1st post? :) )

As for the other lockscreen, I'll need some time to learn myself in 3ds max to make one :p
[Legend Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
Done, and mirrored too.
[Legend Themes and Apps] Snowtoad23:
Awesome, that would be great. I'd try and do it but I'm sure just about anyone else here would be able to do it more efficiently and I'd probably mess something up!

Another possible lockscreen project.. How about the old Eclair lockscreen where you can set a different background picture for it and it has the cool effect where it drags down smoothly to reveal what is behind, instead of the current Froyo one where it just fades away.

Would it work just by copying the HTClockscreen.apk from an old Eclair Sense ROM to this, or not because of all the things that link to it e.g. messages, dialer, calendar, alarms, everything, and if they've been changed in Froyo...
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
It would most probably not work because of the different framework in Froyo, but you can give it a try :p
[Legend Themes and Apps] Snowtoad23:
Yeh and I think they changed it because the new lockscreen works with live wallpaper.. I don't see the old one working with live wallpapers and being able to freely slide up and down.

What do I need to do/edit to get text showing in the locations shown on attached image?
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
As far as I know, both are 9.png's, so if you need to add a permanent text, you can edit those images inside system/framework/framework-res.apk /res/drawable-mdpi (I don't know how to edit .9.png's)

But for system statuses etc. you would have to change scripts in framework-res.apk, andI can't do that either....
[Legend Themes and Apps] ayhaadam:
so i just replace those png the pack all the folders back to a zip, then it become flashable zip？
[Legend Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
No. You have to edit the fils and put 'em pack into an APK, then you could use ADB to push the APK back to /system/framework/
[Legend Themes and Apps] ayhaadam:
i tried hours and i faild haha....

those are what i did

- download the zip at this topic #18

- extract the zip

- find com.htc.resources.apk , make it a .zip, unpack the zip

- find lockscreen_arc.png, use photoshop to edit and save it

- pack folder com.htc.resources to new com.htc.resources.zip, make it a .apk

- reboot into recovery via rom manager

- adb push the .apk into /system/framework, it shows speed, so it suscessed right?

- roboot

BUT nothing change, the lockscreen is the the same hahaha

so what's my problem?
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Damn, I clicked the wrong button :D

OK, I am pretty sure the apk has to be signed.

However that would not explain why the lockscreen is the same...

Can you upload the edited file? I'd make it a flashable zip :p
[Legend Themes and Apps] ayhaadam:
haha that's ok

i hadn't do the lockscreen design yet

i just want to confirm if this way is workable

than start to design things....

i tried once again but failed the same,

don't know how to do now :~
[Legend Themes and Apps] ayhaadam:
i try to pull the com.htc.resources.apk back from legend, unzip it

i found the pngs are not modified. this means my pushing not sucess i think.

should i push apk under recovery? (the file can not be written under normal mode so i use recovery)
[Legend Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
You need to be in recovery with /system mounted

Battery with actual percentage left!

OK guys! For those who want percentage shown in stock battery, I've finally done it!

this is how battery status looks like - see the 93% png is weird? That is fixed now! :p re-download ;)

This is how charging looks like

And "Unknown battery" exclamation mark made RED ;)

Install like a ROM, no wipe needed.

If you had window animations installed, this will disable them!

Say "Thank you" if you like it! :D

Download: battery_Stock-like_percent-signed.zip

Notes:

I had to replace the gradient background inside the battery with constant grey, but it still looks good.

As we only have 18 pixels at length inside the battery, I've divided the battery fill to 17 parts...(17 because there is no visible difference at the tip of the battery) The text is allways balck to preserve readability (the fact that the inside is only 8 pixels in height doesn't help either ;) )

edit: @TheGrammarFreak, please add this to the first post as usual :)

I'll re-cook it with fly in and bouncy anims. <-- Done. :D

While it might be impossible for someone to create this I believe this is being implemented into honeycomb. I saw a honeycomb video and the screen rotated smoothly.

Looks like this tread is really taking off good to see. Cant wait for even more customizations/
[Legend Themes and Apps] ayhaadam:
woo! I finally succeed with /system mounted!

thanks a lot really!

now i should move on to make my mod into a flashable.zip, is this tool Avabox ok?

How should I make the zip flashable for Official ROM and MOD ROM （ex. BlaY0's ROM）? Different ways to do?
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
I don't know about Avabox, but here's how: Howto ZipPack

Obviously you want to delete the original file and then copy the new file in.

This is done by putting the file in directories system/framework next to META-INF folder and then copying the whole system directory:

show_progress 0.1 0

delete SYSTEM:framework/framework-res.apk
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

show_progress 0.1 10

don't worry, It will just write the one file inside ;)

Looking forward to seeing your lockscreen bar!:D

What's the difference between Cryshops Navbar/Lockscreen and the "remixed" version (if you will) by Dr. Romca? I installed Cryshops mods on my B 0.2, just wondering if I should install this one instead?

Thanks!
[Legend Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
The one here uses the frameworks in BlaY0's ROM, Cryshop uses the ones from the official ROM. In theory it doesn't make a difference, but this way people have more confidence that it'll work. ;)
[Legend Themes and Apps] BlaY0:
Just a note... MetaMorph comes handy if you are just replacing current files in framework apks but if you wanna add something new, it might not work correctly. In such case you'd better decompile apk, add whatever you wanted to add and recompile it back. My framework apks are signed with public test certificate, so you shouldn't have trouble resigning them.

Mods here are great, just wondering whether anyone can help to port the notification power control widgets for the Legend? The link is below, but it's for the Desire, which I assume wouldn't work if only because of the HDPI res.

Would be great to get any help on this :)
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
It's more likely this won't work because of the different framework.jar and services.jar....

Thank you.
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Just download the ROM zip you installed to your phone, extract framework-res.apk from SYSTEM / framework and push it back to phone using adb....

No need to prepare for that :p

I plan to work on yet another version (bigger white font, black outline)this weekend, but I will have to install (and learn with) photoshop...

[Legend Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
See if you can fix the graphics bug in the vanilla lockscreen. (delete or move HtcLockscreen.apk found in /system/app to see this bug)
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
You mean the different color/alpha on the hidden part of the slider?

I'll see ehat I can do, but although I like this lockscreen style more, I don't like the coloring, so I'll see if I can skin it alltogether :)
[Legend Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
I mean exactly that. It drives me mad. And I dislike the unlock screen in stock roms. The vanilla one is so much nicer...
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
I'm looking at it right now, how is it that when I press menu it unlocks? Are there any settings for this unlock app?

EDIT: did you try to solve it yet? Do you know something it is not? Just what to avoid? :)
[Legend Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
I don't really have time to look into it. In CM all the sliders for the lockscreen are composed of multiple pictures. One picture handles the end of the slider, minus the icon that sits in it, one is the main body. I assume these images are wrong. I dunno if it's different in the stock ROM. :S
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Solved, there are 6 wrong .9.pngs...Just add these to your framework-res.apk and it will go away... What sucks though is that when someone calls you, you have the HTC lockscreen to receive/deny call...is there a way to have the same lock for calls too?

Edit: I can upload framework-res.apk I have, but it has my battery MOD and I don't know what you use ;-)
[Legend Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
Yeah, change the phone.apk. Mebbe the one from CM would do it, I'll 'ave a look.

EDIT:

Nope, now I can't make or accept phone calls... Lol.
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
will that mean change in the dialer? It is a separate apk isn't it? I'd really like to have that slider to receive calls ;-) btw, will different phone.apk change anything else than this?
