That won't help then. For the segmented circle ones you need over a hundred images. If MoDaCo's using the stock battery indicators, there's not that many.

Sup guys, well now that DL30 is available to the masses, I thought I would share the latest version of Super Dark with you. Thanks to Nitsuj17 for the base and promoting my lazyness with xml edits. :cool: If you like my themes and ROMs, help keep me going with brewski!

Theme Includes:

- Accurate battery and status bar clock delete

- Reboot options

- Black menus

- Full Dark UI including themed vanilla lock and mount USB screen

- Themed dark/transparent Dialer remapped to GV VM (Thx Adrynalyne!)

Download

V1.5: Also everyone, I fixed V1.5, I took out the transitions as I think the xmls need editing for the new framework. Look for another update in a couple days.

Download

V1: http://www.mediafire.com/?g67frnzppyxtfp9

Extras

I have compiled a .zip of around 70 FlipFonts, extract theme to SD card and install theme with root explorer!

http://www.mediafire.com/?uq30q666tpts6is

Also, if you want the clock in the status bar back, flash in recovery.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13765981/dl30_clockrevert.zip

Still to come: Even more UI changes as well as a possible notification rework. How do you guys fell about the mesh? Power toggle icons? It's up to you guys. Do you miss the screen transitions? New pulldown? Comment here!

PS: ROM coming soon. :D
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
looks good sir :cool:
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] iceman1183:
Looks sick. Downloading and flashing now. FWIW, I personally like the mesh, the only thing i might change is the GPS icon in the pulldown shade, I prefer something more satellite-ish. But that's just me. Awesome theme.

Any chance you could post the background in the pics in the OP?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] JaeKar99:
Beautiful. Loving it..

Edit - #3 dial pad... EDF??? Flashed Adrynalyne's dialer patch.. DEF.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
Yeah I thought the same thing, was thinking of going a lil bigger with them and maybe making them stand out more while turned on and off. Background in the app is called Nexus Kang. Check it out in the market.;)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dlongb13:
I very rarely ask for anything, but I would love it if you made a version with a clock if its an easy change, if not, no big deal.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] onemotodroid:
just installed over clean rom

looks good and working great

i like the dark theme on this phone
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
????????????????????
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] iceman1183:
He's talking about the letters on the number 3 on the dialer....the letters are "EDF" instead of "DEF"

adrynalyne's dialer patch: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=940487
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] iceman1183:
Yeah, so finally got it on my phone. The shade icons for wifi/gps/etc. could be a little bigger. You could even consider getting rid of the text altogether to create space for bigger icons. Otherwise it looks sick
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
Done. Check OP my friend. :D
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dlongb13:
Thanks alot man!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] iceman1183:
One other nit picky thing....the text in the shade is black, and on the black background you can't really see it....might want to think about doing a light grey or off-white or white for the text in the notification shade
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] orion421:
transitions please...and by please i mean now you 733t jerk ;)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] shdowman:
Since you asked for opinions....

1. Like has been stated, increase status bar icons (change GPS icon) and perhaps even remove the text.

2. Black text in status bar against black background...80%k would be good :)

3. I, personally, am not a fan of the "GALAXY S" on the bottom of the status bar...personal preference.

4. BIG Personal opinion here...but something like this for the keyboard?? Maybe?? :) (be happy to help with it if others like it (I am a designer, not a coder...so you would have to tell me what you need)

[/IMG]

And I'll add in a question...

Will this work with the wireless tether fix?

Thanks again for your work!!!!..was loving this until the leaked froyo and was wondering when you would follow up :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] piiman:
Yes to all the above!

Transitions should be 1 on the list though.

Look forward to the ROM
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Rick S:
Great theme...loved it on 2.1. Is there any possibility of getting the same icons in the notifications pulldown as 2.1 had?...they were awesome. Great theme either way! Thanks.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
I loved those icons as well, I have no .psd or any idea how to make an auto rotate and mobile data toggle to go along with them! Can you help?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] shdowman:
I can help with any design work needed. Just need to know parameters. :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] 92GreenGT:
I love this theme!!!

Will continue to follow it.

A few questions on my part:

1. Which beautiful widget skin are you using in the screen shot?

2. What is a flip font?

"I have compiled a .zip of around 70 FlipFonts, extract theme to SD card and install theme with root explorer!"

Thanks!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alaa:
Hello. I'm new to all this. I've searched several forums for an answer to my issue, but unfortunately I haven't been able to get to a final resolution.

What's wrong?

When I boot into ClockworkMod (2.5.0.7) Recovery, I get the below:

When I try to backup the current ROM, I get this:

When I try to flash LeeDr0iD 2.3d, I get:

So I thought this might be because the .zip file is corrupted or something, so I went on and downloaded and flashed the latest CyanogenMod (checked the MD5 to make sure), but it gave me the same error.

What I did to my device?

I rooted using the unrevoked method. It was pretty straight forward, just installed the Android USB drivers and ran the reflash_package.exe... At the end I checked the root access by adb shell, then su, and I got the ever-so-famous #. I noticed there was an "update.zip" in the root of the SDcard after rooting the phone, but I didn't run it.

What I gathered from my search

When I was searching I read about

SPrecovery

, I'm guessing it's another recovery...thingi, other than CMrecovery, but I never found a .zip file for it [maybe someone can point me to it].

I also read something about a file

PC36IMG.zip

, and that people have fixed this error I'm getting using that file. From what I gathered, I think that file was used in the HBOOT downgrading process (from 0.8 to 0.7-something). I downloaded this file but I didn't copy it to my SDcard because I read something I'm not supposed to "apply" it when I enter HBOOT on my phone.

I have yet to use AlphaRex 1.8 to

S-OFF

the NAND security, but I currently don't have a blank CD to burn the alpharev image. [Question: can I just run the "fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img" command on Windows 7, without having to boot into the Linux livecd? I already downloaded and installed the Android SDK tools =/].

My device information

HTC Desire GSM. Froyo (Android 2.2) out of the box, now running software: 2.29.405.5

And this is what appears in HBOOT:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
As you have a PVT4 Desire you need to use AmonRa instead of CWM, read the PVT4 thread in General
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drSTRIFE:
Use amon-ra recovery. I had the same error as you on my pv4 desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alaa:
Ok, so I'm trying to flash the Amon-Ra recovery but I get the below error:

I'm guessing this is because I do not have S-OFF yet (and I can't get S-OFF right now since I do not have a blank CD to burn the Linux livecd). So, I can just unroot the device, then root it again but point unrevoked to the Amon-Ra recovery instead of the CMrecovery, right?

Question about unrooting: Download the official RUU. Connect the phone to HTC Sync. Run the official RUU. That's it?

EDIT: Do I have to unroot then root again? Or is it possible to just run unrevoked on the already-rooted device but point it to the Amon-Ra recovery instead?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You need to be rooted to S-OFF, just run unrEVOked again and choose a custom recovery
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alaa:
EddyOS, thank you, and you as well drSTRIFE. I finally flashed my first custom ROM.

To whom it may concern, 'what did I do':

I tried running unrevoked but I kept getting the "Error: failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?", so I factory reset the device and gave it another try. Successfully flashed Amon-Ra. I tried flashing CyanogenMod and it was flashed successfully, but the splash screen kept looping. I only wiped the cache before, so now I wiped ALL userdata, and reflashed CyanogenMod. Now it works. Unfortunately though, I did not backup my original ROM, but I have the official RUU, so I guess that's enough if something goes wrong.

T-Mobile to Launch Nexus S clone with TouchWiz - Vibrant 4G

EDIT: Probably a fake picture.

Vibrant 4G looks to be a complete clone of the Nexus S, plus these four things:

http://briefmobile.com/vibrant-4g-front-camera-android-2-3-gingerbread

Vibrant look

4G HSPA+

microSD

Android 2.3 with TouchWiz

Doesn't this feel kind of screwy? At least Nexus S users will have NFC, constant updates straight from Google, and a bare skinned Android 2.3 build. Plus the contour screen.

Yep.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
The picture is fake, but about the final product having 2.3 is up in the air. So many damn Samsung rumors ruin the actual release of the phone. Plus, I doubt 2.3 is on the phone.

It takes Samsung approximately 3 months (assuming the rumored release date is right) to make 2.3 while it takes them about 5-6 months to release 2.2 on Galaxy S (original). Yeah, I don't believe it. Also, why have a USA phone get 2.3 before the motherland? I believe Korea got Froyo before everyone else and then after them it was the international Galaxy S.

Of course, I could just be wrong.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Probably just a website just making a fake story to gain hits.

And it was BGR that first reported this, I believe.

Nexus or vibrant 4g?

Hey guys im looking to go from the vibrant 3g to the nexus s or the newly announced vibrant 4g.

I love the ffc. Does the nexus perform ok on video calls over 3g?

Does the nexus have dlna support like all other galaxy s phones?

If anyonr came from the vibrant 3g to the nexus s would you do it again or go for the new vibrant?

Thanks.

But I do appreciate u taking the timr to answer.

Thanks for that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
eh the only reason is just cause there have been sooo sooo many of these threads kinda just starts to get old after a while of seeing the same one over and over again :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
First time I've seen Vibrant 4G vs. Nexus S.. but yeah there are a lot of "should i get Nexus S" threads.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say:

What kind of user are you?

1) Do you care about the latest hardware?

In this case.. I WOULD not get either phones and wait for a Dual core. As great as this sounds, there are consequences for this ;) [refer to (2)]

2) Does it bother you not having the newest and latest version of Android?

This is the main reason why I moved from the Vibrant to the Nexus S and will be only making purchases towards Nexus devices in terms of contracts.

With a Nexus device, you are guaranteed updates coming directly from Google itself. Google will open source kernels, drivers, and whatever is necessary for devs. I dont do OTAs but it does help the community out by always having the newest and latest.

In my opinion, latest software > hardware because the latest hardware phones are crippled by custom skins (motoblur, htc sense, etc). Although, I DO like the features TouchWiz brought to the game (power widget on notification bar, video codecs, etc) but the lack of software updates is disgusting including the closed source of the leaks which limited development.

Not to mention, winning the "latest software" war is far more easier than latest hardware. Newer hardware is coming so fast that you can't catch up. For example, Tegra 2 is now starting to release on various phones. But media reports that Tegra 3 will be ready soon... so, whats the point in getting a 1st-gen dual core? Just wait for a 2nd-gen. Sources can be googled regarding this.

3) Vibrant 4G is pretty much a Vibrant, you can add a FFC camera to your Vibrant and it already has Froyo.. so..... and HSPA+ speeds of 21 Mbps is just theoretical, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll hit it. Also, why would you need that high of Mbps? Not that im complaining, but really... we're not downloading torrents or anything here so whats the point? I'll live with my 7.2 Mbps.. not in a rush for higher speeds.

Edit: Sources --

Another reports that Tegra 3 will possibly be announced at MWC (which is next month)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.orange303:
I know it does. Really I do. But I never have a problem helping on xda. I expect these things here. Qa is a broken record. It could of been ive bricked my phone lol.

Really thanks though.

It would appear 2.3 may be the only reason to get the nexus s right now.

And if the rumors are true and there is a nexus s 4g coming that would suck.

I think ill wait to see the vibrant 4g and how much it changed from the vibrant 3g.

Thanks for your input.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
those Nexus S 4G rumors seem to kinda have dissapeared after Tmo showed pics of the Vibrant 4G
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Nexus S 4G is a rumor. The I 9023 (or whatever its going to be called) is possibly just a Nexus S that uses the Super Clear LCD screen rather than Super AMOLED due to shortage(?). And besides, Google owns the name "Nexus," so I seriously doubt Google would do that to their customers.

I don't even get what the hype about Vibrant 4G is.. its a FFC and Froyo. You can apply a FFC to your Vibrant and you already have Froyo.

But... have fun with Samsung's updates if you decide to get a Vibrant 4G ;)

Nexus S is out of Samsung's hands to update.

@Slowz3r: The Vibrant 4G picture is a fake. It's a Vibrant with FFC and Nero v5.1 (or v4?). Status bar has AM/PM, stock Gingerbread does not.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.orange303:
The google updates sounds great. Really does. The vibrant has horrible wait times for updates. The broken gps.

But I do use my phone more for movies, music, and internet than anything else.

You make good points about that.

It sounds more and more as though I may need to wait here.

Those dualcore phones are great looking but they are slready talking triple core.

So it seems in 3mnths anything I buy will be outdated by 10 fold.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.orange303:
The ffc on 4g will allow my kids to see me at work when they need. And im not into the paying for a ffc and having to go through all the hassle and time to do it.

But those damn updates.

Do you think the nexus s and vibrant 4g will play nice on video calls?

I may just get the nexus s and get the wife the v4g.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
You can apply the FFC (Front Facing Camera) mod on your Vibrant if you really want video calling and don't want to spend anything. It's on the Vibrant forums (i think development? if not check General). The Nexus S (or Android 2.3 in general) doesn't have native video calling featured in. It will probably be added in a future version, the alternative for now is to download Tango from the market and I never tried it since I don't know anybody else with a FFC. But from market reviews, it seems to work.

Videos work fine on the Nexus S, only thing that doesn't really work is videos in 720p (or higher) and begins to stutter. You'd have to use a 3rd-party video player like Rock Player.

Not sure if Best Buy changed their policies, but you would have 30 days to try it. If you don't like it, you can return it.

In addition to the Nexus S, you'll get great development support. CyanogenMod was enough to bring me along. As much as I like Team Whiskey's work, I respect developers who compile from AOSP source way more rather than basing it off another ROM.

Developers who compile from AOSP source is like building the house. Developers who base their ROMs off co-existing ROMs (or stock) is like going into a house already built and applying tweaks to make it better. Then theres themers that make it look pretty.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.orange303:
It just seems like the nexus s has some quirky small things missing. I may have to do that bb 30 day thing.

But if the vibrant 4g gets 2.3 soon (lol hahahahaha) it would be idea it seems.

I suspect that if Samsung finally got the GPS right with the Nexus S, that future models, like the Vibrant 4G, will have it right as well.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Nexus S does not have gorilla glass. And even though the Nexus S has a plastic back, it is FAR more difficult to drop as the Vibrant. It is heavier and it actually feels better in the hand than a Vibrant.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Oh great.. you're here now. You don't even own the phone and you're bashing it.

Samsung made this phone, but it is maintained and supported by Google. It is a "pure google" device. Every manufacturer has its negatives.

Some people complain about HTC's speaker quality

For Samsung its the plastic backcover and lack of software updates.

and so on. If you don't own the Nexus S, why are you bashing the phone.

Atrix: Have fun with a possible locked bootloader and non-friendly hackable device.

Optimus 2X: We'll see how LG plays this about. Has a custom skin over it, LG is a new player to Android with a lot of potential.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
and by the time you get one... two weeks later Tegra 3 will be announced.

Not to mention, the Optimus 2X is being released with Android 2.2. The phone's OS also have to be optimized for the use of the Dual-Core processor to expand its full potential.

Anyway, the choice is up to you. I'm not going to sit here and debate about it. I personally want the newest and latest Android version.

After all, it's just a phone. Technology grows so fast that you can't catch up with it.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderdroid:
Haha, I completely disagree with this guy.

Vibrant 4g+ and Nexus S are both great.

My gf currently has a Vibrant. I was going to give her my old one but guess what... I bricked it trying to do the FFC mod myself. So now I'm just going to wait for the Vibrant 4g + and get her that. I have the Nexus S for myself.
