[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxcaptcrunchxx:
This may be a stupid noob question, but does installing themes use any more battery? I installed RC6, everything was great, performance and battery life. A few days ago I installed the Blue Steel theme... It could just be a coincidence, but my battery life has sucked since then.. 50% in 3 hours minimal use. I've got it OC/UV 1200...100, 100, 100, 125, 125, 125. Running beautiful widgets and desktop viualizeR for custom icons (also installed around same time as theme).

Would any of this make it drop that much? Any help would be great. I don't want to loose RC6!!

How do I get bing to unbind from this search button!? Moving the apk doesn't do anything other than block other apps from using that long press button..

You don't say what ROM your using. For EB01, it's hard coded to Bing unless you install a manual patch via CWM.

I just got a T-Mobile MyTouch 4G (Which is an amazing phone btw) and I noticed it doesn't like to allow internet use over EDGE service. Unless I'm connected to the HSPDA/HSPDA+ network (which is still a bit spotty...) I can't use data. My old phone (Touch Pro 2) had this problem too, but only when tethering so it wasn't a big deal.

How can I get the phone to allow data connections over EDGE networks? Is there a workaround for this? I have searched but I haven't found any conclusive solution yet.

I can have it billed to my T-Mobile account now. Is that new?

Correct me if I misread, but when I was going to purchase Titanium Backup and use T-Mobile as payment (since money was going to a foreign country and I didn't feel like paying the extra 10 cents in fee), the terms said T-Mobile has the right to remove your apps if necessary. I think it was near the bottom of the terms. Am I the only one that saw that?

Here's a great way to use the Notion Ink Adam Canvas app to show a changing "sticky note" reminder widget on your desktop.

Use Canvas to create as many reminders as you need (1 or more), using Paint or Text. Put them all in one directory, with no other files.

DL the free "Android Photo Widget" from the Market. Put it on your desktop (I used the 4x4 size). Configure as follows: for source, "specify folder", and pick the folder with the Canvas png's; Recursive off; Random off; Update every 15 seconds, or your preference; Frame type, "Thin Solid Black", or your preference; Click OK.

Voila, a desktop widget that cycles through each of your reminders every 15 seconds!

I love it!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] pbrauer:
now that is a great tip!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] smalis:
Glad you find it useful. Much better then being limited to text sticky notes and having to put multiple sticky notes on the desktop, IMHO.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sircaper:
Question to the OP. What makes you think this camera is supposed to be and good? Are you comparing to a friend's pictures with the same camera?

It is ok, but there is no flash so unless you have perfect lighting, maybe you have to lower your expectations.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUARDIANBD:
'Cause :

a) its the same camera as the Galaxy S series and the same as the Samsung Wave.

b) by compering to the photos of nissy86.

c) by compering with my workmate which has the same phone.

flemh) i saw dozen of photos from this camera and know's that somthing went wrong and all

after the ROM Flashing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sircaper:
Sorry I can't help. All I can think of is that the defaults change on flashing. Your resolution is probably set at 640*480. Try changing the resolution and other camera settings and see if that helps at all.

I recently did a back up if my stock mt4g using clockwork. When I went to do a restore of that rom and rebooted it stayed stuck on the mt4g load screen. Anyone else have this problem? Did I do something wrong?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
what version of clockwork did you use to make the backup?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spokenjeremy:
3.0.0.5
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
Welcome to brick world, that's exactly what destroyed my phone and, like you, I was running 3.0.0.5 If you ever do get the phone working again let me know how you did it, please?

Not sent from my MyTouch 4G because it's a brick now!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
The reason your phone appears to be bricked is it (CWRM 3.0.0.5) is a ext4 recovery image, and 2.2 is a ext3 ROM....

. If you find a 2.x version of CWRM you can flash it via the ADB commands and restore the phone.

OR

boot into recovery and flash the CM7 w/ gapps then download CWRM ( the free one ) and flash 2.x that way. You'll have to scroll to the bottom and select one of the 2.x recovery images.

If you can get into Recovery or into fastboot your phone is not truly bricked.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pentlander:
I have CM7 installed and Rom Manager, but when i try to flash an older recovery it says it cannot be flashed. How exactly would you flash the 2.X version via ADB? Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
You nor he is bricked.

If you can get into CwM recovery then just flash my zip and use the 3.0.0.6 recovery that is included. Then make sure that you make/restore all backups from recovery and not rom manager. Rom manager is not compatable with CwM 3.0.0.X when it comes to making nandroids.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pentlander:
Thanks a lot, but i keep running into and issue at the recovery. I followed the instructions from your thread, and i got into the blue recovery screen, but it says

"E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command

E:Can't mount DATA:data/recovery/log"

And the only option to restore is the Applysdcard:update.zip and that fails
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
So, that is the stock recovery. You need to choose the 3.0.0.5 version from "All ClockworkMod recoveries" if using my zip. If that wont work, try sending a new recovery via fastboot or terminal emulator.

You can set up adb/fastboot by checking out the link in my sig and using the command (make sure you rename the recovery to recovery.img for ease of use)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

or you can try terminal method by placing the recovery on your sd card and renaming it recovery.img Then open up TE and type "su" then the flollowing

flash_image recovery recovery.img

If that doesnt work, then let me know and we will find some other things to try.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pentlander:
Whoops haha. Thanks for all the help it's working great now :D

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] shortskoolbus:
So i'm not sure how the Theme Chooser works. All the themes i've seen for CM7 are based off of the nightly build, so its not always kept up to date with the latest build.

Is it just because CM7 is still new and not in RC that themes are still being built with the whole ROM?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Lakeshow423:
The theme Chooser is meant to give you options, you can change the look of CM7. They included 3 themes in there so far. Go in the market and type CM7 themes. You install them and they will automatically appear in theme Chooser. Try MAU5 OR HONEYBREAD, they look pretty clean! Reboot anfter choosing. You could also try theme mixer and flash it in recovery. They will always he making themes for this Rom as it is one of the most popular ones role usually run. Theme will be made during nightlies and I'm thinking even after the RC comes out. Hope this helps...

[Epic 4G Android Development] amosher13:

[Epic 4G Android Development] amosher13:
its got to be at least for some items. a lot of it will be in framework-res.apk in res/values/styles i think. a lot of the text parameters are here. others are in res/layout etc.... depends on what you want to change. and i'm only familiar with a very small number of them tbh. but check out dreams theme guides in the themes and apps section if you wanna read up on how to decompile an apk and get into this stuff.

[Epic 4G Android Development] TheManii:
Hi sorry to bump this old thread but I've been experimenting with the code snippets in OP's post.

.line 63
const/4 v6, 0x6

const/16 v7, -0x26

invoke-virtual {v4, v6, v8, v7, v8}, Landroid/widget/TextView;->setPadding(IIII)V

is the only part that really matters apparently. The rest of the code is just shuffling around some resource names for some reason. As I dont actually own an epic 4g (I did this on a dell streak with a rom based on 2.2.2/FRG83G) I dont know what's going on with the mass renaming.

the code works as is: register v7 is loaded to c in setpadding( a, b, c, d) (i dont know what the final variable is in the actual smali code)

which is

setPadding(int left, int top, int right, int bottom)
Sets the padding.

hence loading a negative value will push it farther to the right.

At least on my rom 0x1 != 1 pixel. It's closer to 0x1 = ~1.5-2.5 pixels as -0x20 leaves 1 visible pixel of AM but -0x21 cuts off the last time digit by approx 1-2 pixels. For mine i'd need like -0x20.5 but as this is hex that's nonsensical.

A better way would be to find where the AM and PM strings get loaded and to NOP that or to change it to a blank/null string, but I have no idea where that is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xanthinealkaloid:
+1 -- It would seem TheManii is quite correct with the code snippet he posted above.

It does represent the only change which is necessary to move the clock over to hide the AM/PM.

@amosher13

It appears when you used WinMerge to get a diff between the files you received a handful insignifigant deviations in the resource names probably caused by the difference in source device of the files.

Thank you both for your efforts!

@TheManii

Based on the related XML, it certainly looks like the values here are in the dp unit, so, for the screen size of our devices, the values would indeed be multiplied by about 1.5.

Also, I'm fairly certain the time gets loaded with the AM/PM attached, as with the dateformat class, which would require additional formatting to get rid of it.

I have sort of thought about possibly using the simpledateformat class to change the am/pm to a/p, but now I moved my clock next to the date in the pulldown.
