[Epic 4G Android Development] A_Flying_Fox:
I like this rom

Realllllly light

And everything I flased went through flawlessly

Good job!
[Epic 4G Android Development] xjman:
Update to the rom. Just mainly some basic stuff and some changes that I wanted to make. See the change log in the first post.

I'm trying to make this rom as light as I can, without changing a whole lot. I want to remain fairly stock, so I don't introduce more bugs than already exist. So this rom isn't going to be adding themes or anything any time soon, some of them slow the phone down, and I don't really want to have to try to overcome that so if you want a theme add it later.

I'm working on some AOSP stuff too, and eventually this will move further in that direction, but I've got to get a few things squared away for that to start that venture completely. Look forward to it at a point, probably not in the near future, but eventually. I've compiled more and more of it, most of it breaks, or hurts performance while paired with this at the moment, I'll keep slowly working on that.

Anyway, please let me know how it runs, if you have any bugs or oddities that are related to the rom. I've not narrowed it down yet, but there is an issue existing with ext4, I can reproduce it across any rom with ext4. Any time I reboot, shutdown, or boot to recovery I have a loss of data or data corruption. Some said to remove dual fs support but it didn't solve the issue for my rom. Therefore I recommend to stick with rfs for the time being, it doesn't hurt your performance regardless of what you read.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waveboy2u:
I can say i am a little disappointed about the phone, because a lot of app are crashing, i can't see google docs on it and so one.

are there any custom Roms for this phone? or 2.2.1 ?

rooting is soo easy.. i rooted with One click Root...also i did Un-root because i had to send it to guaranty because of the screen

another disappointing problem is the battery...its lasting around 1-1.5 days, and thats not cool

it is a good phone but i believe it has lots of bugs in the OS.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bratski:
i was able to root my galaxy 551, however rooting thru one click root doesn't install any recovery. how do you install a recovery so i can flash the zip files.

i also have the htc wildfire and have rooted it and flashed different custom roms, however rooting and flashing the galaxy 551 is an altogether different procedure. could someone make a guide for this? thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waveboy2u:
far as i read on internet there is a app called ODIN...and you can use it. i coudnt try it because i sent my phone to service because of the display.

also...can you enter google docs from your 551? my browser is crashing every time...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bratski:
i haven't tried the phone's browser yet, its been with me for only a day. i installed rom manager and clockwork mod recovery. however, i can't seem to start recovery (when the phone is off). in htc, you press volume down and power. In samsung galaxy 551 what buttons need to be pressed aside from power button to go to recovery mode? i tried the home button, back button, and volume buttons but nothing seems to work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waveboy2u:
try volume down + home + power ...

i cant try since my phone is gone to service

try and tell me the result

also can you please try to enter docs.google.com and tell me if its working on ur phone....thanks

update: you can install the Android SDK, and after that you can use adb...when phone is connected to pc and and debugging is on:

adb reboot recovery
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bratski:
the combo of volume down + home+ power didn't work, the only way i can go to recovery is to go through rom manager

people...install busybox...

i can't create a tutorial yet, because my 551 is still in service (screen problems), and far as i find out we can enter recovery mode with busybox

update: busybox can be installed if you root your phone using SuperOneClick Root 1.6.5 or higher, and if you have your phone rooted, but no busybox, just install Titanium Backup, and it will install it automatically
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bratski:

Hello,

I managed to flash my galaxy 551 with one of firmware available at samfirmware dot com.

The keys are "q" for a qwerty keyboard or "a" for an azerty keyboard (the first letter of the physical keyboard) + power for boot in download mode.

But the physical keyboard is now in qwerty : I'm interested in azerty.kcm.bin file + *.kl from an FR rom.

Thank's in advance and sorry for my bad English : /

guys anybody how to enable live wallpaper in 551 i used terminal emulator but it sys busy box permission denied any solution for this please help me
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splattx_x:
Hi, found lots of useful stuff reading the thread. Does anyone know how to boot into recovery mode? the vol.down+home+power didn't work for me... or I'm doing it wrong :S Has anyone booted into recovery succesfully?

UPDATE: for the record I have the GT-I5510L model (L is for Latin I think) rooted using SuperOneClick 1.7 (which I think installs busybox in the process).

I found out that the "Q" key + Power combination during power-up takes you to Download mode, and so far the only way I found to enter Recovery mode is through "terminal emulator" executing:

#su
#boot recovery

After that the phone reboots and enters Recovery mode.

To navigate in Recovery mode use the following physical keys:

Left and Right arrow to move Up and Down the menu options (weird, right?)

Shift key (the one on the left above the red "Alt" key) to select the highlighted option.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraka23:
Hi guys. There are some keys to enter en diferents modes.

Q + Power button: Download Mode

W + Power button: I don't understand this mode

First push and hold the key button and then push and hold the power button until the screen power on.

Try Odin 4.28 to flash your i551.

Make sure you have the CALLISTO_v1.0.ops file and the correct ROM.

Hello all. I have a I5510 and after rooting i've got some problems with the battery readout. I thought to install rom manager, install CWM and reset the battery meter. I installed the first option in the list, i think version 5. Everything was ok. I clicked reset to recovery. Now the phone does not boot. No above combination works, no life sign. Is it bricked? Is there a way to save it?

It's kind of an ugly gray, so it needs to be changed.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MikeyMike01:
So, any idea where the color for the time is?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
Time Color

Short answer: Yes I think I do.

It is making a call to the twframework-res.apk for the text appearance but, when I try to change it, the resulting apk will just FC.

I think this is the line we need to modify...

\res\layout\conversation_list_item.xml

<TextView android:textAppearance="@touchwiz:style/TwTextAppearanceListTwoLineSecondaryGrey" android:id="@id/date" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="3.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="2.0dip" android:layout_marginRight="5.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="7.0dip" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />

Here is the styling from the twframework-res.apk

\es\values\styles.xml

<style name="TwTextAppearanceListTwoLineSecondaryGrey">
<item name="android:textSize">14.0sp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="android:textColor">@color/tw_textappearance_listtwolinesecondarygrey</item>
</style>

Okay the @color is referencing the

\res\color\tw_textappearance_listtwolinesecondarygrey.xml

<item android:state_enabled="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#80ffffff" />
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="@color/tw_color002" />
<item android:state_selected="true" android:color="@color/tw_color001" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:color="@color/tw_color001" />
<item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="[COLOR="Red"]#80ffffff[/COLOR]" />
<item android:color="@color/tw_color005" />

That is the value that is giving us the grey color we see.

tw_color001 = white (#ffffffff)

tw_color002 = black (#ff000000)

if you want to make it just plain white change the 80 to ff. Don't know if you know the color code make up but the frist two are the alpha or "transparency" value, the other six are the color code.

I have a meeting to go to tonight and then the GF wants to see me so I won't be back to play with this until late tonight.

Thanks,

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MikeyMike01:
Should be able to change:

<item name="android:textColor">@color/tw_textappearance_listtwolinesecondarygrey</item>

To something like:

<item name="android:textColor">#ffffffff</item>
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MikeyMike01:
Meanwhile I started working on the buttons:

I think it looks nice.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
yeah you could but if your going to go ahead and recompile the twframework-res.apk you might as well change it at the last level...Idk just a personal pref thing. (Although since we are making changes to the twf that might affect the calendar and calc as those probably make calls here too.)

Yeah the balloons are looking nice there.

Are you going to change the textfield image to something green as well?

[Captivate Themes and Apps] tysj:
I'd maybe contrast the two bubbles a bit. Slightly different shades of grey could help different those longer texts that take up the width of the screen.

I don't think that they are check the images it's called textinput or something.
