Unrooting is easy and takes 10 minutes so there really isn't ANY reason NOT to. Cover your ass.

Yup, it's just that easy. It will replace your hboot, recovery, radio and restore the factory rom so the phone will be just like it was when it came out of the box the first time you turned it on.

Easy.

Swyped From My Rom But I Will Always Be A Mynion!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdub110:
So I rooted my replacement but noticed that there are 3 lines on the right side running down the screen. So bad pixels or something.

Whatever I did to root doesn't seem to have unrooted hboot if that makes sense? I was able to load a custom rom on it but haven't been able to get PC36IMG.zip to be read by hboot. Keeps saying no image.

The EVO I am currently using, i know it's hboot is older and works but not sure why this new one won't.

All in all, do you know what I need to do to get this to read your RUU? I downloaded the RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip

as that matches my phones settings. Renamed that to PC36IMG.zip and hboot doesn't read it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EfemaN:
I've got this wallpaper from DeviantART in a zipped file in various sizes. I've tried cropping it down to about 480x800, but the phone's selection box when setting the image as a wallpaper doesn't allow me to select the whole picture, which seems silly since that is the phone's screen resolution.

I imported the full image to my phone and set the selection box to cover her entirety, but now the phone sets the middle default screen (out of three) to look like the second image below, and going to the left screen scrolls the background to look like the first image, which is essentially perfect; setting the launcher so the background doesn't scroll causes the picture to look like the second image.

Basically, I'm trying to figure out how I am supposed to get my background to look like the first image, when set to not scroll. Any insight?

I think HTC Vision uses 960 x 800
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EfemaN:
While a multi-screen wallpaper will be 960x800, a single screen wallpaper should still be 480x800, AFAIK.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
Have you tried creating a 960x800 wallpaper with her in the center 480x800 (i.e., 240x800 of extra space on both sides of the part you actually want)?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EfemaN:
That came to mind (and would probably work), but I have absolutely no knowledge of graphics manipulation, so I wouldn't be able to continue the background gradient off to the left.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LooieENG:
What do you mean continue the gradient? Just take the image you have and cut it down so it's got a 3:5 (0.6) aspect ratio and then add some empty white blocks to the side

I had to crop it and stretch it (because of the bar at the bottom) but there's an example

If it's set to not move when you switch home screens, nobody will see the white bars on the side

Try that and if it works post the original image and someone can make a higher res version
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EfemaN:
Oh durr... that makes a lot of sense. I was in the mindset that the background would be stretched out for whatever reason.

That actually worked really well; there's an ever-so-small sliver of white on the left side, but that'll go away with some tweaking. What's the easiest way to crop and add the white bars with specific dimensions? I have access to Photoshop CS5, but I couldn't find anything beyond resizing and simply cropping and hoping I get the dimensions correct.

I actually linked the original 1920x1200 image in the first post, hyperlinked on the second word. Here it is again: http://i.imgur.com/GvEgU.jpg

EDIT: Never mind! I figured it out. I noticed the parameters next to the crop bar. Photoshop is fantastic... thanks for your help Looie. Now, just gotta figure out how to remove the white strip.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
There looks to be a significant amount of banding in those images. Is there any way to reduce it? Perhaps setting the image to 65k colors, I'm not sure.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EfemaN:
I think that was due to my saving as a jpg. I did it as a PNG and the background is a smooth gradient like it should be.

The only thing I'm unhappy about is that, for the times that I'm at my homescreen with the keyboard open and the screen in landscape mode, the white bars are obnoxious and up-in-my-face. I don't think I really have a workaround for it unless I find someone more skilled at Photoshop that can continue the background on either side.

[Fascinate General] pwnjabi1:
I feel like I am in an extreme minority of people that love touchwiz. I used to have a droid with stock ui, a droid 2 with blur, and have extensively used sense on family members phones and touchwiz by far blows them out of the water... There are a lot of intuitive features I can't believe I lived without like setting controls on the notification bar and a redial button after calling. I also find it much more aesthetically pleasing than other UIs, and really does SAMOLED justice with its vibrant colorization.

What do you folks think?
[Fascinate General] ktez:
I actually like touch wiz too, I've used adw and launcher pro and I keep going back to touch wiz. I'm using the one from the vibrant from this forum somewhere because I couldn't stand the app drawer not being in alphabetical order lol. But since I have that version, I love it.
[Fascinate General] pwnjabi1:
I can't stand that either! Are there any disadvantages though? I thought vibrant users couldn't uninstall apps from the tray (another feature I love, no more waiting for application data to load from the settings screen, which is a major time sink).
[Fascinate General] alexdemonumber3:
Can one of y'all give me a recent version of tw? I've searched, but to no avail :[ and I would love to try it!
[Fascinate General] m91-30:
I've been hooked on touchwiz since my omnia 2. I've tried the moto droid, and found it much less pleasant to use, and found htc's ui unpleasant, as well.
[Fascinate General] devistator18:
i dont like touch wiz becuase it reminds me too much of an iphone. If the app launcher was difffernent I would probably use it.
[Fascinate General] hbc.ciccone:
I also like tw over other launchers..although ive never paid for "pro" versions of said alternatives.
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
TW ftw!

It's fun pulling the apk's and changing the icons. And when the icon backgrounds and replaced with blank files the app drawer doesn't look like that apple thing anymore.

good day.
[Fascinate General] galaxywhat?:
Exactly! Jsut came back from an eris, droid 1, and evo. Touchwiz is by far the best one for me... also I noticed on sense there were a lot of glitches like when someone would call me their id would show a toally different facebook friend as their picture lol
[Fascinate General] miguel11691:
I thought I was the only one... I rooted tried a couple of roms but I end up back to touch wiz.... it works wonders... now if we can get a froyo version of touch wiz I would be happy... anybody know where I can get the touch wizard from the vibrant to this one so that my apps can be in order
[Fascinate General] Irishpride:
I've had the Fascinate since it was released and have tried every home replacement, but they have never lasted more than a couple of hours at the most. TW has great widgets, is very responsive and like someone said, without those backgrounds on the icons, it looks nothing like an i*hone interface.

I'm really looking forward to both the froyo and gingerbread ports that birdman and kaos are working on, but I have to say that I will miss TW.
[Fascinate General] maturate:
.....

@chopper.....Hey...is that single clock/date/weather widget on your homescreen?

it looks really good.

I hope un-rooted phone like mine can have one.
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
I don't use TouchWiz, but I would agree it's actually not bad at all as a launcher. Obviously, the Fascinate version has some problems (no Google Search widget etc.) but the Vibrant version is pretty darn good. I even like TouchWiz's taskbar more than the regular Android style. And some features, like the ability to re-sort homescreens, are fantastic (an almost identical method was implemented later on in ADW).

Some of Samsung's TouchWiz extras, on the other hand, are truly terrible. Like their "SNS Sync", which is slow and buggy and unnecessary when the official Facebook and Twitter apps come with their own, flawless in-app sync capabilities. Yet, inexplicably, TouchWiz disables their built-in sync abilities so you're stuck with Samsung's implementation. That right there is the single biggest reason I can't wait for an AOSP ROM.

P.S. maturate: That clock/weather widget looks like the one from Beautiful Widgets, an app available on the Market. It's just a regular app, doesn't matter if you're rooted.

EDIT: It could also be Fancy Widget, actually. The cloud graphic is identical to Beautiful Widgets', though, so I'm guessing it's that.
[Fascinate General] voghan:
I used TouchWiz for a long time before I finally moved in to adw. I actually like the Vibrant version of TouchWiz more and ran it on my fascinate for a while. I posted the apk in the theme app forum. I liked their vertical scrolling app drawer more.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
I like touchwiz too. I know, shocking!
[Fascinate General] s44:
Most of the problems with TW launcher are fixed in gtg's modded version (see i9000/Captivate forums).

Unfortunately, it only works with Froyo.
[Fascinate General] Mean Sixteen:
My launcher of choice is Go Launcher.

Touchwiz for me was way to laggy. It seemed to be in slow motion compared to mine now. Mainly scrolling through screens.

[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
I'm on Kaosinate, and I do miss TouchWiz. I hated it at first, but now, I think it's the best manufacturer UI. It looks iPhone-y, sure, but it has tons of cool little features and animations that make a difference. And it's smooth. Is it even possible to use TW on Kaosinate?
[Fascinate General] teeharding:
Yea I'm on koasinate 2.2 and I have to say I'm reverting back for some TW action. (Do all cyanogen roms run adw?)When they fully get froyo working ill go back. Hope to some day have froyo with TW. It actually has flavor vs plain old android. Don't get me wrong AOSP works well but I think TW looks and feels better.
[Fascinate General] ilogik:
How did you get to group icons like on the iphone?
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
The clock is "simi clock" and the weather is "beautiful widgets" 1x1 with no background.

App called "folder organizer".

good day.
[Fascinate General] CNemo7539:
It seems like I've started new trend... Well I had heavy party yesterday... :-)

Not koasinate, Kaoscinate. Kaos + Fascinate.
[Fascinate General] mknollman:
I too love Touchwiz and wish I could find a way to stick with it. I have been using an apparently little-used or at leat little discussed launcher called TAG - it allows me to have one applauncher page with everything, one that's just games, one that is comms stuff, etc. They are organized in tabs at the bottom of the launcher. Def not as pretty as touchwiz and I miss some of the widgets, but the tabs (aka tags) are great.

Apps also default to alpha order, but you can prioritize if you want as well

No, I am in no way a dev of this thing, just thought I would share. I agree TW is pretty and the paged launcher is a step in the right direction, but I wanted a little more.

Just thot some of the TW users out there might wanna give it a shot - free in the market - so the price is right!

As you can see from my stats I am a long time lurker. I jumped ship from winmo a few months ago. This forum has helped a lot so thanks all.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Hey guys, if you like TouchWiz this much, you should check this out:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=709763

I'd be curious to see if that version of TouchWiz will work okay on Kaoscinate. If somebody here is running it, try the apk and see if it works. If so, you're free to have the best of both worlds. :)
[Fascinate General] DeezNotes:
I also like Touchwiz. it always seemed like the people that hated it just REALLY hate the iPhone or they don't like the widgets. Outside of the widgets, Touchwiz is an awesome interface. It's actually one of the main reasons I purchased this phone.

Coming from using Sense and AOSP, the design and functionality of Touchwiz is simple and clean. The design is aesthetically better - all the fonts and numbers look great (especially compared to AOSP). Then there are other things Google doesn't implement in AOSP, such as a T9 dialer, notification drop-down shortcuts or SMS/Voicemail notifications on the lock screen. The T9 dialer is an important time-saving feature to me. And every time I look at an AOSP dialer, it reminds me how far behind Google is in updating up the UI. It doesn't matter if it looks like an iPhone or not - if it looks nice and it works well I'm with it.

MIUI gets honorable mention as well - they did a good job. I tried ADW EX and it's close... some of the advanced settings work on the main screen, but not in the app drawer. There are some design inconsistencies that I'm not liking. Go Launcher is okay as well, but it's a little buggy and is missing some options for me. I want to give some of the other apps+launchers mentioned in this thread a try.

Google really needs to take a look at what other Android developers are doing to make the UI better and implement those updates in their own code. Forget streaming music from the cloud, can we get a dialer that isn't from the first version of Android?
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Apple is about form, whereas Google is about function. Given the choice, I would take function any day, because looking good and going nowhere means you're still going nowhere. However, I do wish Google would try a little harder in the UI design department.
[Fascinate General] DeezNotes:
Sounds like we're talking about women... Apple is the pretty one who doesn't cook or clean. Google cooks, cleans and will even give you turn-by-turn directions, but could really use a makeover.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nobnut:
You will get no sensible replies to your request.

You have given us nothing to go on. NAND/SD build? Have you deleted any system files/folders? Have you turned on silent mode?

There are just too many potential causes to try and diagnose your problem via this forum if you can't provide more detail than you have.

It will be quicker for you to just reflash whatever it is that you flashed in the first place and try again.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
If you've tried different Android ROMs and then tried a WM6.5 ROM and it still doesn't work then it's a hardware issue. Flashing a ROM means that no software issue can carry over into the newly installed ROM, so it's not software.

If you bought it new then get it replaced/fixed under warranty (if not too old). If you bought it 2nd hand then I hope you've got either an understanding seller or a bit of cash to get it fixed.

The fact that it worked briefly, once, suggests a loose connection. One thing to check is whether or not you get audio when you use earphone/headphones. If you do then the ear piece is definitely knackered.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gibsonusa:
So with titanium backup will it save my contacts? Only ask, because when I go to batch my files my contact thing turns up red.

Just save contacts to sim card, but I'm looking for a similar answer, but with another app.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gibsonusa:
That's a good idea. Thanks for the advice
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Short answer is no, the problem with saving to the sim card is you will not save the custom ring tones/ pictures. The Titanium does backup a contact info, But i am betting that is for those custom ring tones etc, but I never use those features, so I don't really know

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stealthx32:
Thinking of selling this Vibrant...

I'm getting a warranty replacement in the mail for sucky GPS, and I thinking of sending it straight to eBay as a brand new phone. Might be a rash decision (honestly, if GPS worked from the getgo, I'd be pretty happy), but I'm tired of lies from Samsung, etc.

Problem is, what's better? I'm tied to T-Mobile for another 18 months.

Nexus S doesn't have TV-out, has the older BT 2.1, no expansion slot, no HD video recording (although it's upscaled anyways).

Maybe the Vibrant 4G? Comes w/ FFC, Froyo, and HSPA+...but I'd be a fool to come back to a Samsung-supported phone so quickly.

Any other suggestions? Maybe just get a Nexus S and sit on it for a while, while the market evolves? For some reason, Nexus S's go on eBay for more than retail...
