[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Sinistertensai:
It's been a while since I have released a new theme and this was something I threw together for myself but Thankfully for you friends convinced me to share it!

Theme based off of the work of Envynet and or jabbawalkee Re-Vamped by yours truly

Sinister-Slate Theme Download​
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
I really don't mind people using my work but it especially pisses me off when a) someone uses my work without asking permission or even giving credit and b) releases my work and butchers it with poor themeing. The majority or this "theme" was completely ripped from my "MattedBlues" theme without even messaging me to ask if it was okay.

OP: if you had asked for permission or given credit, I would have been nice and allowed it. But, since you did not do that, I am kindly requesting that you take this down immediately or else remove my work from the zip. Thank you.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CheesyNutz:
looks like mattedblue but it looks like Slate too
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Envynet:
Hard to say. My slate theme the only thing I used from mattedblues was the battery icon. If this was based off of mine then it should be similar. Just for future reference no body needs to ask my permission or give credit to me cause its just a free dev community. That stuff is not important to me, neither is monetary gain.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
I don't care about monetary gain either, I have a real job. I just believe it's polite and respectful to give credit where it's due and ask for permission to use people's work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lordsyrinex:
While true, this is a free dev community, nobody likes to see their work stolen and passed off as someone else's ideas. It looks very MB, it looks very Slate, it's hard to tell where it truly came from but if it did come from MB, I believe that credit should be given and/or permission asked prior to gangstering for your own.

All anyone wants is to be credited for their hard work.

/rant
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Envynet:
My only point is that almost nobody EVER reads the credit lists anyways. I just feel instead of bashing somebody right on their thread about something that should be kept to PM's.

I had a issue where I forgot to credit JsChiSurf for the aosp lockscreens and he was cool about it and just pm'd me, it was just a mistake on my part.

Just point being here is that there are better ways to handle things imo, but as most people have seen lately this entire community is turning into a disaster anyways so I should not expect much... Won't be checking this thread again.:)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Sinistertensai:
I had a theme in my SD it was titled slate not sure where I got it none the less if you are the maker a simple pm would have been nice and its modified and again I was not sure who's this was as I stated but coming here and bashing like a complete ass is no way to handle this
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Trust me, you'd know if I was bashing. And calling me a "complete ass" certainly isn't a "mature" way to handle things - ironic since your PM to me talked about dealing with it in a mature way and moving on. Done with this (just remembered why I don't use xda anymore). Have a good night.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
I started a new thread asking for ROM suggestions that met specific criteria... no where did i ask for a ROM without issues.

I got a few suggestions (most were "I like X" and not what i was after) and then the moderator locked the thread with the answer:

Your best bet is to try a few roms and stick with the one you like best. Most of the custom roms are good but to ask for something that has no issues when they are being built off a port and not Captivate source code is a bit of a stretch. There are no promises with custom roms, that is just the way it is.

So what good is the QA section if i Can't ask which ROMs support Exchange, BT, etc. I have tried a bunch that don't but now that there are 20 or so, there must be one that fits my needs.

I don't usually call people out, but closing a thread in Q/A when there is all kinds of other stuff going on is silly.

Do we have new rules for the Q/A section? Apparently soliciting advice on specifics is offensive to some. If it was closed because people can't answer the question - then you are punishing the OP.

I am a mod on other sites, and i am surprised this thread was closed with such impunity.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
I guess this thread will be closed or deleted soon too. But thanks for reading.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
1. All ROMs may not work the same on all hardware. So try them out to find out which suits u best.

2. If u have any issues, ask in the ROM specific thread preferably.

3. Read the ROM thread. Generally in the OP or in a post or two that follow, all the things included in the ROM are listed, along with anything that doesn't work. That should take care of u knowing if the ROM u r looking at has it or not.

Last but not the least, people may not always appreciate a question for which answer is easily search-able, or has been answered already many times, or are present in the ROM thread on page 1. Literally every rom today has the OP or the post following that details what all the ROM has, and where it fails.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
I understand the op's concern as he was asking about some specific features which, although important to many users, are usually not addressed in the rom op.

You happen to be a casualty of the war against "which rom is best" posts.

Feel free to start a thread questioning when we will see gingerbread, or speculating on why we have yet to receive froyo though. Those appear much more frequently and are allowed to blossom into flame fests.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpicaso:
wow, thought I was the only one who noticed that..:p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Best 2 sentences I've read in a long time.

As to your issue. I agree that you should be able to ask a legitimate question like that. You're not one of those asking which is fastest or which will get me higher quad scores. I'm thinking there's probably not a great deal of people who would have tested all those options either. Like myself, I have no use for Exchange or BT or even GPS for that matter. I can speak for the parts I use, which are the google apps and other things.

I would think that if you want the most complete ROM you should stay close to stock. Right now I think there are only 2 custom ROMs built from the stock Captivate ROM, Cognition and Firefly. Firefly does use an i9000 based kernel/modem, so I don't know if that affects the functionality you're looking for.

When in doubt, just keep loading all the ROMs to test them out.......j/k terrible idea.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Well sense you wanted to call someone out, I replied to you telling why I closed it and if you are a mod on another forum you should understand about asking for info that can be searched for and found with a little research. So lets look at your requirments for a rom that is built from a port and not Captivate Source code.

1. Stable-Most roms

2. Americanized-? the local settings can be set in each rom

3. No FFC stuff- not sure what FC issuses you are talking about.

4. Good sound/voice quality-Love the sound on mine mixed with the sppedmod kernel and vodoo sound app

5. BT support (voice dial would be nice - even with vlingo) 2.2

6. Exchange Support-2.2.1

7. Decent battery- that is all on what you consider decent battery, Mine lasts 12 hours and that is good battery for me

8. 2.2 or 2.2.1-most roms are built off of 2.2.1 there are some that are 2.2

9. Good data-Speeds is what I assume you mean, that is as much carrier as rom based

all this was found with a search, which I see more and more people are not using. This is not a make my phone cool forum. For lack of a better term this is an Research & development Forum.

Might want to Look at the FAQ in the threads that have them to see if you see any issues that is a deal breaker for you.

As for your other thread that is all you were gonna get was I like this this rom or I like that one. We all understand that custom roms are a give and take deal. You want the newest Unofficial stuff then you most be willing to deal with some issues that might come up. If you want something that works 100%, 100% of the time then I would stay stock as there are no promises with custom roms
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boborone:
+1

I also think more should be done about all the questions in general. Move those to q&a and start handing out warnings. This is ridiculous.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
At least I am not alone.

How many ROMs are there now? For me to search every single ROM thread (including all change logs) to see if a ROM meets my specific needs is silly.

I hate when people ask "how do I flash back to stock" and this is not one of those questions. I can't type this in the search field "Rom support for 1-10" and get any meaningful hit. And many ROMs link to alternate sites, and you have to view the features there - when they are all listed.... Some don't list email support until you go to the FAQ and it says email.apk was removed.

Again, I am not a newb looking for sympathy - I just want some equality in the heavy hammer. Next time I will title my thread "when will we see gingerbread" and all will be good.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
So you think that If a question is posted that can be found with a simple search that a warning should be handed out?

I understand that the Captivate is for alot of people their first smartphone, and can be overwhelming, so new question threads for things that can be searched for are gonna happen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I remove those threads when I see them come up. As silly as it might be that is what your gonna have to do. If you want a perfect rom your best bet is to learn to make it your self. Do you understand what "from a port" means. That means it was not made for our device and that there will be issues. The Dev try to fix them but like I said there is no 2.2 Captivate source code to build from so they do the best they can. Look I am not trying to come across rude but all these threads asking for this and that and "wtf this doesnt work" Is really starting to get on my last nerve. The only advice one can truly give is "Read, read and read some more to make sure you have all your bases covered."

I am not gonna argue the point any longer and will give this thread a few minutes for people to reply before I close it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xstop:
+1 Make your own, I did.

The time you flash all the rom's in the forum and test it out, you probably could of custom built your own to your specifications. So many roms out there, just not the flash freak like I was, too much time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blackmamba:
Hi...I have a HTC HD2 (TMobile) that has had the HSPL2.08 installed (the bootloader screen shows SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE , CotullaHSPL 0x40)

I'm on a Mac Mini running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit under VmWare. I was able to flash HSPL under VMWare.

I am unable to run Radio Update and MAGLDR1.13. It errors out with Error 266 stating it cannot communicate with my device over USB.

Is it a driver issue? Any advice? I see the device listed as HTC USB Hub under Devices while in bootloader 3 color mode.

Can someone please help? Would love to get Android installed on NAND.

Thanks!

You're going to have to drop your standards and slum it on a Windows pc for a little while. AFAIK magldr can't be installed via VMWare.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] visitador02:
Hey guys,

I am trying to decide which 2.2 custom Rom to use. As far as I can tell, Firefly (which is based on Rogers 2.2) is so far the only one that provides bluetooth voice dialing, right?

Any opinions or advice on other Roms are greatly appreciated, but I really want to have bluetooth voice dialing.

Thanks

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
One option would be to download the rom directly to your phone. Skyfire is a good browser to use.

Ok, i have been doing some research, and there are seemingly more than one method to root the glacier. Can someone please tell me which method to follow? And all of them are from december so i am wondering if they still work. It looks like one of the methods requires you to use a computer to type code, while the other method allows you to use your phone to do this..idk..im confused.

Please explain in little detail the steps which need to be followed for me to gain permaroot S=off and be able to flash some ROMs.

Links to the steps would be appreciated :D !

Ive tried making my own theme including this using this awesome kitchen: http://circle.glx.nl/

I would love to have the Power options (GPS, WiFi, BT, etc) in the pull down, anyone know how?

I checked out this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=885326&page=2

And pulled the framework apk from this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=764787

When I tried using the framework from evils Desire port and I clicked on the option in the kitchen it would error out, when I used the framework from the rom above it was fine. Phone booted, no issues, but since it is not from this device its missing things, and menus are spaced with blank areas.

Sorry for the super noob questions, but can someone point me to a guide on how to incorporate this feature on our Roms?

Widgetsoid

I know you are trying to implement it into a rom. If anyone is just looking for this feature, give Widgetsoid a try.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] garynsa:
Hi

Tried this but not the best thing. This requires the widget to be on the screen as well. Also what I see in the HD forum is to get rid of the latest used app and the carrier name.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
Actually you are incorrect. This doesnt require the widget to be on the home screen. You can have it only in the notification bar. This app did take a minute to get set up how I wanted but it is GREAT!!! One of the biggest things I was missing from CM7 was this feature and now I can make sure to have it on any rom I am running.

Have you tried backing up the phone, reflashing the ROM and then restoring everything again?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
********This is only a ROM. You must have first flashed the EA11 LEAK first.********

********You must have the modified RED CWM recovery to flash this. If you don't already have that installed, go here to get it.*********

*********DO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU ARE STILL ON 2.1************

As always, I am not responsible for what you do to your phone. Make a backup before you flash anything.

Download the ROM and the addons. (unzip the main addons zip) Decide what addons you want. Put everything on your sdcard and boot into recovery. Flash the ROM first. Flash any addon packs that you have put on your sdcard. Reboot.

I've tried to group the addons so there aren't too many of them. If you want, you can always reconfigure things using 7zip without having to unzip anything. If you don't know how to do this already, it's probably best to just flash each pack seperately.

Thank you sir very much
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
Now for some voodoo?
[Samsung Mesmerize] v_lestat:
why do we need to flash the original Froyo leak first?

i dont understand this Mez thing about using Odin.

once you have a Rom flashed to your phone and Clockwork working there is never ever ever a need to use this odin program. i have never once used it and have flashed a few roms, one of them your very own pick-n-pak , just not the froyo one.

so can someone explain to me this crazy need to backdoor flash the phone?

the Froyo leak is just a rom, just like this and every other rom. its just a factory flash rom, not a rom you guys built....

so why not just build a rom from it because the odin stuff seems just to be massive unnecessary overkill.
[Samsung Mesmerize] vluhd:
It doesn't seem like a bad idea to have a stock backup solution available.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
This ROM doesn't have a kernel or a modem with it. If you don't have those files, your phone won't work.

The Froyo leak is NOT a ROM it is a recovery system just as the recovery system for 2.1. It has everything in it.

Odin is not overkill. It's just a different way of flashing things. As soon as we have everything in place for a fully flashable ROM including kernel and modem, that will be an option too. My original PnP ROM also did not include a kernel or modem, but you were already on 2.1 so you didn't need to get there. Had you have been on 1.6, you would have had to update.

Also, there is only two of us working on all of this. We can only do so much. We are trying to do what we can, with what we have. If you can help us out, hit us up on irc. We could use the help.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:

[Samsung Mesmerize] dcow90:
Over 700 posts here and a thanks meter of 1.. <-- maybe you should just cool off a bit..

Two things:

Number one: Read my reply to your la]st rant. It explains a lot.

Number two: As far as I know, phidelt82 and I are the only ones who own a Samsung Mesmerize and are offering our time up to work on this stuff. Thank God our device is very similar to the other Galaxy S devices so we can dip into the community and share resources where appropriate. I promise you without the resources of the great XDA community, you would have none of this from us.

To answer your burning question I already answered once:

The reason we don't have this in an update.zip form yet is because I am a college student who spends most of his days studying. Every so often I get some *leisure* time to spend working on things I enjoy -- like helping out this community here. I am not as skilled as the prominent Fascinate devs but I am learning. So is phidelt. The refined packages will come.

The fact that you are so worked up about ODIN tells me there are reasons far beyond your understanding as to why we are using it. There is nothing wrong with odin. IT DOES THE SAME THING THAT YOUR RECOVERY PARTITION DOES/CAN DO.. just attached to the computer. I actually think it's more reliable (well at least Heimdall is) and easier to use.

If we were to release a froyo-update.zip and everyone tried it out, without ODIN, they would be potentially stuck in 2.2 land. That would be a big hassle donchathink -- especially because EA11 is not a final release, there ARE some bugs? The current solution for Fascinate users is to flash a froyo.zip from their phone, THEN USE ODIN to flash a <2e> recovery partition so that CWM will work properly. Why not do it all in Odin for the Mesmerize for the time being? Once there is a reliable solution that doesn't need ODIN/Heimdall, I promise you, it will be implemented.

Cool off. I've wasted enough time responding to your ignorance. I am being abrasive now because I already answered you once, and you find the need to ignore the contents of my reply and rant about the same old..

I had some time to put up a new package tonight, but, thanks(?) to you, that's not the case anymore.. =/
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
you tell him dcow....i like odin...its simple and reliable...cant complain about that ;)

Amen!

BIG thanks to dcow and phidelt. Without your efforts, I'd still be on stock 2.1. Just wanted you both to know your time and effort is appreciated. Don't know how many of these phones USCC has sold, but it's got to be a small community in comparison to, for example, the Fascinate.

Glad the other devs have been kind enough to help you out where they can...big thanks to them as well.
