[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curlymanoliver:
Hi,

basically, i want to install darky's rom onto my sgs, but one of the pre-requirements is for me to have 2e recovery. i am currently running speedmods k12i kernal and have got 3e recovery (which is the problem).

i have found this guide on darkys site:

How to install Recovery 2e manually?

* Download Recovery 2e files from here - Download

* Open Root explorer or ES File Explorer

* Remount system with -rw

* Copy recovery file to /system/bin (replace if asked)

* Copy xbin folder contents to /system/xbin/ (replace if asked)

* Done, you've Recovery 2e on your device now.

but dont fully understand it, especially the 3rd point.

alsoone more thing, i made a backup by booting into recovery and going to backup/restore and backing up from there, it contained these files,

cache.img

data.img

dbdata.img

efs.img

nandroid.md5

system.img

are these the correct files for the backed up version of my rom? and if it is how do i go about reflashing it all?

thanks

oliver

p.s - i never thought id be this needy for information, there is just soething about it i cant wrap my head around without a little bit of guidance.

thanks again.... :)

if i was you i would leave darkys roms alone and stay with it stock darkys roms are supose to be stable why bring 3 versions out in one day i installed 9.0 from 8.1 and it broke my phone so had to reinstall everything if you cant install Recovery 2e if any thing goes wrong with your phone you will be stuck
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolah:
Firstly Darkyy's rom IS stable. If you had a problem with it then thats just unlucky. if 10,000 people install the rom and only one ruins there phone i would say thats stable. Even kies can crash peoples phones.

Ok now on to the OP.

I went from stock JPY to Darkyy's rom literally in 10 minutes.

Install a kernel such as speedmod or voodoo 5.2 which is compatible with JPx ( presuming thats what your running ) as these have CWM in the kernel via Odin.

Then just get darkyy's rom and put it on your SD card. Boot into CWM recovery and flash the zip from your SD card.

In root explorer, you have a small button on the upper center of the screen. It says Mount R/W :P

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Or you can just go to www.samfirmware.com and flash any old Eclair rom. That would be safest route in my opinion because it will completely remove any trace of you from the phone - meaning that the phone will be as good as new (at least in terms of software).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curlymanoliver:
i am running speedmod k12i 500hz, and my firmware is JPB. this speedmod has CWM, but it doesent say anything about 2e recovery...

but i am going to try and put 2e recovery mon it using that guide now i know...

also, are the files i posted right for a backup of the rom?

EDIT! i have succesfully made the 2e recovery, CWM running from rom manager works perfectly now, (it dint before)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curlymanoliver:
so it wouldnt have root or anything like that? i would then do what with it? flash cf-root and then just install darkys?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curlymanoliver:
cheers for your helps guys, darkys v 9.0.2 is on and running smooth =D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuryriderX:
Just for clarification - the 2e recovery is to allow flashing unsigned .zip files.

ClockworkMod will do exactly the same thing, its a more 'full featured' 2e recovery, if you want to call it that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curlymanoliver:
Eh, im not too fussed now really, it put my mind at rest knowing I had the 2e recovery...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guy27:
Hi everyone greetings, i plan to install Spike Speedy Edition v2.1 ROM on my phone and it says to "Make sure have the 2e recovery". Can anyone please explain that to a newbie?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curlymanoliver:
Erma, basically it means. You can install unsigned.zips what are you running¿ 2.1 or 2.2?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guy27:
Running 2.1 i think eclair stock rom... Basically how do i install 2e recovery?

[ROM] Spike Speedy Edition v2.1 site says "Download clockworkmod recovery"

Do i need 2e recovery in this case? Or can i use superoneclick?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curlymanoliver:
well, if you are running eclaie stock, you should already have 2e recovery. are you rooted? if not, do it. i beleive you can with superoneclick (i think) but yeah. just follow the instructions for flashing with that rom and enjoy =]
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imfromwales:
out of interest how do i downgrade to 2e from 3e on 2.2? im trying to use run voodo lag fix for samsung galaxy s and when I try to run update.zip from (by pressing vol up, home and power) it says "E:Signature verification failed..Installation aborted", which im told is because I have 3e on my Samsung Galaxy S instead of 2e?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curlymanoliver:
Ill link you to a site when im on a pc in like 30mins. It will have a dowload link to the relavant files and a guide. Or you go to darkyrom and look at the guides in one of the sub forums there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moon_walk:
Hey,

I have the some problem.

Can you explain me how can I remove the "failed to verify whole-file signature" error?

I have JW5 and I´ve used the kernel placed here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108 .

I don´t know what to do to access the recovery.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
That because you're on 3 recovery(samsung's own) u need 2'recovery there 2 ways to get it.

1.flash cf-root kernel with Odin.then your phone is also rooted.

2.root your phone(eg.oneclickroot).when your phone is rooted, download rom manager from market and follow instructions.

Yay.that the right kernel in your link.but u need to flash it from ODIN.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moon_walk:
What i don´t get is that I´ve rooted my phone with ODIN.

If I´ve done that, why should I do it again?

Your saying that I should root my phone 2 times?
[Networking] Reeonimus:
So I was talking to my Provider today and they have a new unlimited data plan and the Rogers Rep said the unlimited data does not count with tethering. Now if I was smart I would have inquired more as to what she meant but...

So my question is to anyone who may know it: How does a provider know when you are tethering?
[Networking] BodenM:
Normally, they make you use their app, which is tracked by the carrier. Easiest way to get around this is to download another tethering app from the Market.

Swyped from my HTC Desire running LeeDrOiD 2.3d with Tapatalk.
[Networking] coldest~~~:
before download 3rd party tethering app, you gotta have your phone rooted
[Networking] vandaleca:
Is it illegal to tethering?
[Networking] bur2000:
That depends on your data plan. If the contract says "you shan't do it" then it's illegal.

If your provider will ever find out if you do is another thing.

Just out of curiosity, those unlimited data plans, how much do you pay? And is that really unlimited data with full speed? In Germany you almost always get traffic based flats. For example 5gb/month for 15€ and if you go over that amount speed will drop to 2kbyte/s... like in the days of 28k modems. ;)
[Networking] R-D:
It is not "illegal", but it may be a violation of your providers terms of service.

currently i have 2.1update 1

should i look into the 2.2 froyo i really want some new themes and i see most of the nice ones say 2.2...or will they still work fine with 2.1?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xstreetz:
and is 2.1 eclair different from the 2.1 sony fw?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3ej4y:
Themes designed to work with 2.2 won't work on 2.1.

And yes the Sony 2.1 firmwire has custom UI layer and apps (timescape, mediascape, face recognition etc) on it that affects performance but provide extra functionality out of the stock 2.1

This is a step by step to how can you Modify the WP7 accent and background colors for WP7

first you need to unlock your phone using ChevronWP7

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857127

and Install the registry editor

http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=593

to modify the accent colors use the Advanced Configuration

http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=590

Use the registry editor to modify the background of the dark theme go to those Keys and change the value to your favorite color in HEX

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\TextHighContrast]

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\TextBackGround]

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\pageBackGroundColor]

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\SysTrayBackGroundColor]

You might also need to change the font Color

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\TextNeutralColor]

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\ListPickerBackgroundPressed]

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\ContrastColor]

to modify the light theme back ground color:

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\0\Basethemecolor]

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\0\TextBackGround]

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\0\pageBackGroundColor]

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kabumm:
I played around a bit yesterday and nearly f*cked up one of the themes :D

I changed only pageBackGroundColor to some greenish ones as i wanted on my homescreen, but everytime the theme got f*cked pretty bad. After first change _everything_ was black except systray/status bar and i had to change design blind, after 2nd change everything was white with some pretty bad distortions and again had to change blind.

So can anyone tell me, which exactly to change or do i need to change all of them to my wanted color? :/
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dbs11:

Can some one put a picture of home screen after doing this?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kabumm:
no comment on that one ^^

yeah, i just changed the edited registry values back to normal manually.

so which entry is the one to edit the homescreen background?

it should be just pageBackGroundColor and sysTrayBackGroundColor right?

//edit

oh man, i forgot "FF" in front of hex-color-code ;)

now it works :D

so it has to look like #FFhexcodeofyourcolor -.-
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Moaske:
Nice to see these options get out... :D

But...Has anyone devised a way to not only change the background but even apply a wallpaper as background? Now THAT would be really nice :p

Blacktiles are worthless... it just shows an all black tiles on a black screen. Blacktiles on white is meh.

I confirm changing PageBackGroundColor changes the home screen and apps background very cool, also systry color works as well. Just reset ur device after the changer for it to take place. And it looks like the first variable has not effect .

works great. Hopefully we get an unlock once the update drops (this weekend?).

Use registry edit and goto:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\1]

"PageBackgroundColor"="#FF......"

"SysTrayBackgroundColor"="#FF......"

change these to what color you want, and make sure to leave the first 2 FF then your color code. Here is a link to some colors.

try to check the values for the fonts in the light theme if you found it with teh value of #FFFFFFFF change it to #00000000

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xpistou:
If anyone could just run through your registry and see where what I have is different from yours, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xpistou:
Okay, I figured it out. The problem wasn't with the registry, but it was with the accent creator in the Advanced Configuration Tool app by Julien Schapman. Whenever a custom accent was applied in the light theme, for some reason certain text in third party apps (Mail wasn't affected for some reason) was rendered white instead of black.

However, this did not seem to be a problem if you used the tool to modify one of the default colors.

I'll post if I run into any more issues.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] seekdestroy:
Just an update on this guys. I found out that the email app uses the Light theme!!

I've successfully managed to change the email app from black to white. Although not perfect at the moment. (Due to the email message background being white and the text being white, Maybe a more grey text colour and I've successfully changed the Email client to Black!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] seekdestroy:
Heres a pic of what the inbox looks like. Managed to change the text colour inside the Emails to grey, however the Email Background is still white, Don't think I can change that.

hmmm, seems that I can't add a link or picture until I get 8 posts....
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] seekdestroy:
If anyone has any suggestions or ideas on how to change the email background colour it would be great. As we almost have a black email app! woooo!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xpistou:
I would think that if you copied the color registry values from the black theme over to the white theme that that would accomplish what you're trying to do.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] seekdestroy:
I have copied most of the colour codes. I tried changing the res:// registry entries but they crashed the app when clicking ok.

The only thing that is different is the text is greyish, so it shows up. I'm guessing the white background in the actual email is integrated in the app more, I duno.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] diaahussein:
all the colors you are using in the font are light colors so you need a dark back ground for them to showup

try to change the BaseThemeColor to a Darker color try blue #FF006699

or something darker

i think this will solve your issue
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] seekdestroy:
Heres the black email app!! I think it looks sexy!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] stillbrad:
Exactly what entries did you change to get the email app black?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xpistou:
I prefer the white myself.;) But glad you got it to work.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] seekdestroy:
Ok in the light theme I change colours to:

BaseThemeColor #FF000000

Chrome Color #FFFFFFFF

Contrast Color #FFFFFFFF

SysTrayBackgroundColor #FF000000

TextHighContrast #FF0000FF

TextNeutralColor #33FFFFFF

TextNeutralColor20 #33FFFFFF

TextNeutralColor30 #66FFFFFF

TextNeutralColor60 #66FFFFFF

TextNeutralColor75 #99FFFFFF

TextNeutralColor80 #CCFFFFFF

TransparentBackgroundColor #AA000000

I'll take a quick pic of the problem I'm having, but I can't see a way around it without being able to edit the email client.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] seekdestroy:
Here you go. I probably need to tweak the text colours abit, to stand out a bit more. The picture makes it look worse than it is. I can clearly see the subject text etc.

but as you can see, the content for every email is still white. Don't know how we could change that.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] seekdestroy:
Yeah, main reason I did it was because my AMOLED screen uses way less battery when showing black instead of white. Longer battery life for me :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Barbbachello:
Does anyone know how to change the text and icons on the tiles to black? Im trying to use white tiles with the dark theme but am having trouble due to white text and images on a white tile :\
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Vintage144:
Is there a way to change the font size? I like the dark green background I have , but when you go to contacts the fonts are so small you can barely read them and unless you have a super bright tile you wont be able to read them anyway!

There is currently no way to change the text on tiles. :(

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\ContrastColor]

Here is what I've been able to achieve with registry changes:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] colossus_r:
This is not changin the font color ...

My background is dark, my accend color is dark green or red and its hard to read the numbers in contacts..

Is there a way to change the color for the numbers in contacts ..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rmcgraw:
Oh okay, I thought you meant the font of just the list of contacts. The phone number within the contacts is the Accent Color, so in order to make it a little brighter, you'd have to change the full theme color.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] erebusting:
How would you revert it back to default?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rmcgraw:
The Accent Color? It depends how you changed it in the first place. If you did it with AccentChanger, there is an option to "Reset to Default" within the app. Registry-wise, you'd have to know the hex code for each specific accent. The values can be found here: http://www.wpseven.de/2011/01/rgb-default-colors-on-windows-phone-7/

Remember that when changing the registry for Accents, you need to enter the corresponding decimal value of the color's hex number.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] erebusting:
Thanks!...

Also, I was wondering if someone could (or already has) provide(ed) a diagram pointing out which value(s) correspond with which element(s)...?

additionally, could one just add another theme besides the light and dark themes?

i.e.:

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\0\****]...

could you put something like

[HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\2\****]

?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rmcgraw:
I could work on one. I don't know every single one specifically, but I'm sure it would be easy enough to do with trial and error. The hardest part is figuring out which "TextNeutralColor" value goes with what...there's like 6 different ones. Some of the others I don't know are:

ListPickerBackground

ListPickerBackgroundPressed

ProgressBarBackground (changing this never seems to change the progress bar while downloading apps)

ProgressBarDisabledBackground

TextHighContrast

TransparentBackgroundColor

Any help with any of these?
