He's running 1.0.4. An old RFS version.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
Well I just ODIN'd to DI18 and added in the DK28 modem. No problem installing the app. So I then rooted with cwm 3 (didn't do ext4 yet) & rebooted. Installs okay here as well. After booting to cwm 3 to do ext4 and flashing Bonsai 2.0.1 it immediately says that I have an unsupported phone.

So I figure it either has to do with the ext4 file system or Bonsai 2.0.1. Do you know when the i9000 got added into the rom?
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I didn't notice it until just now. I'm not sure why Mammon changed it. You should be able to fix it by editing your build.prop file with the following-

ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2.1 FRG83 60505 release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.1/FRG83/60505:user/release-keys
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
That didn't make any difference. It still shows as an unsupported phone. Could be anything, but there isn't a way to test just ext4 as you need a rom that will work. I think I will try another ext4 rom and see what is up.

EDIT: Went back and tried it again with the build.prop file. I can see all the protected files on the market. The app will install, but when it hooks up to a server it states that I have an unsupported phone. I'm guessing if other people get it to work with cwm3 then it has to be something peculiar in the Bonsai rom.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
I tried it while running the Genocide kernel and it was nogo as well.
[Epic 4G General] tmspyder:
This seems like a security hole to me... Just enter the phone number and we will text the pin to it....

Would be better to send it to an associated email.

How do I retrieve a forgotten Protection Application PIN?

To retrieve a forgotten PIN, click here to have your PIN sent to your phone via text message.

BTW I love the rest of the app.

One user running Frankenstein ext4 already reported that it worked. Did you reboot after editing the build.prop?

even if it reports to ausrion its been rooted they cant do anything. Nothing in therms and conditions says it will relay such information and could be deemed a violation of privacy pllus I dont think sprint is smart enough to do that lol
[Epic 4G General] ChodaBoyUSA:
FWIW, I am running a copy of the stock Epic 4G Froyo ROM (FROYO.EB13) that was pre-rooted, de-odexed, and using EXT4. I also receive the unsupported phone message.

FAQ / Common Issues / Other Resources

Common Issues:

Images do not transfer to new framework.apk files

.

(typically the applications all have the same folder names, so no problems occur here.)

As stated in the guide, all folders within each res folder within each .apk file used in theme porter must have exact matching folders/files for the .png to actually transfer. If it's been edited with apktool, it typically has the -v4 extension.

Troubleshoot your issue by opening the resulting .apk file in 7zip and comparing to the downloaded theme file in 7zip.

You may have to pull the res folders out and look that way to actually see which images didn't transfer.

First thing to check is the folder names within the res folder

, if the rom folder's names are "drawable-hdpi" and "drawable-land-hdpi" and the theme has "drawable-hdp-v4" then you need to remove the -v4 from those folders and run theme porter again.

NOTE: I've also run into situations where both folder's existed in the .apk file, meaning both drawable-hdpi and drawable-hdpi-v4 folders were there, but only one actually had the themed .pngs. In this case it was the drawable-hdpi folder that had the themed ones, but I needed it to be -v4, so I deleted the existing -v4 folders and renamed the others to -v4 - this also slimmed the rom because you really don't need the extra folders/files (nor wan't them!)

Some times icons don't exist on other phones

, or they are completely different icons. I.E. with 2.2 fascinate theme's the Silence icon does not exist and therefore would need to be pulled from another theme or created to be fixed. This can be done with 7zip, no need to decompile the file if you're just swapping .png files (in the final framework-res.apk .

[*]Problems after testing theme.

This has happened to me on all sorts of levels;

Problems Restoring

- Sometimes after testing theme's you'll go to restore and things will not be right when you boot, FC's and whatnot. Best case scenario you can restore to a vanilla restore (meaning your rom + any app's you wanted, but no theme's) or just flash your rom to fix.

Problems with icon's not being correct on a restore or a flash.

Same as above, sometimes things just go awry when you're flashing theme on top of theme, so i'ts best to start from the rom. Make a restore point with your rom + all your apps, then you can always go back to it and flash your day to day theme - this will give you the least trouble.

Phone stuck in airplane mode, setting is disabled.

I had this happen to me randomly once, no idea why but if you do run into this the only thing that fixed it for me was an odin back to a full build. No restore or flash would fix it. Typically your problem should be solved with a fresh flash of your rom, but sometimes going to a full build with odin is the only way.

[Samsung Mesmerize] bwot75:
So, I tried using apktool to decompile the framwork-res.apk and it worked fine, recompiled it and everything was good, are these the same steps I would use for other APK's such as in the apps folder (i.e. Settings.apk) because I cannot get them to work I keep getting brut.androlib errors
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Usually if you get errors in compiling there have been things added or removed after compiling, this is sometimes caused by using theme porter for example.

Apktool works on any apk, but i'ts fussy about what's there before it recompiles. Try decompiling and recompiling with no changes, if it doesn't work then it won't work on that .apk (to my knowledge). You basically will always need to start with one of the deodexed apks from phidelt's pick and pack, then add changes while i'ts decompiled, then run theme porter after it's recompiled if needed.

And glad you all appreciate it :)

[Samsung Mesmerize] trip007in:
I followed this guide and made XML editing for Framework-res.apk to change font colour in the Menu using Notepad++, but after xml edit, cant build the framework.apk, it says sources have changed and does not build the apk. Am using apktool for this. Any suggestions how to go about it. Or somebody can guide, how can I change the menu background so that Menu texts are visible?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
As stated in an above post, try decompiling the framework-res.apk you are working with - without any edits and see if it will recompile with no error. If it doesn't then re-read my guide ;)
[Samsung Mesmerize] trip007in:
Ok thanks will check it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phillup:
Never mind, I figured it out.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
I did some major fixin' on the OP, hope it's more clear! :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Awesome man, thanks! This actually clears up a couple questions I had. So manually pulling the battery .png's out and copying them over isn't needed now? Just the .xml file? Nice! Hope to have some pnp themes coming quickly if all goes well!
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Whoops I think I still need to tweak that part, if you're editing the charging animation .XML we'll need to make sure the charging images that are referenced are there too (otherwise it won't recompile correctly) so you would need to pull in only the charging animation .png's and drop them in before compiling your framework-res.apk (replacing any that exist of course)

Back when I wrote the original guide some of the ROM's didn't have an accurate battery so I included those step's - now it's pretty much standard practice so I decided to take that out to keep it less confusing. Once you have edited the charging .xml and added those icons in, it should recompile and be ready for theme porting (assuming you're already done with the text color editing too)
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Ok so if both the theme and the ROM have the battery files do you still need to manually move the .png's from the theme to the rom? Or only if the rom didn't have them to begin with? It's not hard either way I just don't want to waste time doing it if it's not needed.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Basically the only time you'll only need to worry about this whole step is if the theme you're porting from has a different charging animation than the rom you're porting the theme to, which typically they are all different (you could compare the charging.xml from both to confirm) because you're going to be adding the new xml that references images that may not exist in the ROM framework-res.apk, you'll need to add those .png's in from the theme as stepped out in the process.

The battery icons will almost always already be there, because they all go from 0-100 so there is no "new" images that you're bringing into the ROM, so that's why you don't need to worry about them. (same for the battery.XML, it's the same for any theme using the "accurate battery mod")
[Xoom General] bhuggans:
so ive got an evo. and i use my wireless tethering quite often. and when the galaxy tab came out, i tried to tether it to my phone, and i couldnt get it to work. i have no interest in a 3g or 4g connection for a tablet, atleast not now. so does anyone have any idea if i will be able to piggyback the xoom off of my phone?
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
It should work the same as any other wireless device. My wife uses her IPAD off my evo all the time.
[Xoom General] bhuggans:
have you tried tethering a android device to another android tablet? i tried it with a hero and an evo. couldnt get either to work.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
I have done it with other android phones ( ie someone sharing my internet) but never an android tablet.
[Xoom General] setite:
Which did you tether to what. HTC EVO, being designed for tethering has the proper wifi drivers to offer full infrastructure mode tethering. Some other devices, maybe the Hero, originally not being designed for wifi-tethering, only offered a certain kind of tethering that didn't work with some devices. IIRC this was fixed in the freely available Android Wifi Tether app. So if you tried to share your EVO's connection with the Hero, that should have worked. The reverse maybe not so much.

I tethered my HTC EVO to a Viewsonic G-Tablet with no problem so I don't foresee a issue with the xoom.
[Xoom General] bhuggans:
i was using wifi tether on my evo to provide the galaxy tab with internet. couldnt get it to work. so we tried the wifi tether on my brothers hero, and that would not support it either. im crossing my fingers that the xoom will be able to.
[Xoom General] copualt3:
Your wifi tether program might not be working, I had the htc evo 4g and tether to the ipad, laptop, galaxy tab without a problem.

Samsung Galaxy Tab
[Xoom General] socomdark:
are you using an app or the native tethering btw? theres a few apps that only offer ad hoc wifi which isnt really "meant" for internet. It more of a device to device type thing. while infrastructure is internet to device and thats what you want from your evo. i think i explained that right, i havent slept for like a day. i got too freakin excited about preorder i couldnt fall asleep lol
[Xoom General] setite:
I had that problem initially with the Viewsonic G-Tablet and with my Kindle. Change the wifi channel in the tethering app to anything but what it is, and try again.
[Xoom General] herbthehammer:
Wireless tether, I've been able to have other android phones and an iPhone see it. For some strange reason barnacle won't show up on a scan with other wifi phones. It's probably going into a different mode that laptops can see but some phones can't.
[Xoom General] BBruin66:
I think you are right. Android devices can't wifi connect to ad-hoc connections, thus tethering doesn't work. However, if you have hotspot capability on your phone it might be different. Or even different tethering programs that don't do ad hoc. Do these exist?
[Xoom General] Bukem75:
I could wireless tether the Viewsonic Gtab (pre and post root) to my Evo using Fresh Rom and the included wireless tether. Fast and stable
[Xoom General] bhuggans:
I'm using the wifi tether app for root users from the android market. And yes it works great with my netbook, work desktop, home desktop, and even my ps3. As well as supplying a connection for a buddies iPhone. But when trying to connect the galaxy tab... nothing. It didnt even recognize it. I guess we will see in a few days. Cause this "will be a dealbreaker ladies" (for those that watch 30 rock)

[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
I dislike how the app is called "Circle Launcher" when it isn't actually a launcher. It basically just makes fancy folders (only using the resources of a widget), which for me, seems unnecessary.

[G Tablet General] jasco13:
Sorry if this had been discussed before, but I was excited when my battery finally read at 100%. I bought a dock a couple weeks ago and I've been using it for charging since. If I charge it up fully and then pull it off the dock for a few seconds and then put it back on the dock the meter well go up to 100. normally my battery won't read higher than 97. This trick seems to get it up to 100.

Not sure if that indicates that it really is a calibration issue or if just spots charging early. Anyway it was nice to finally see the meter at 100%.

Matt
[G Tablet General] nunjabusiness:
I don't think I have ever seen mine at more than 97-98% - while plugged in.
[G Tablet General] jasco13:
try charging all the way, unplugging, and then plugging back in.
[G Tablet General] nunjabusiness:
I do that every day. No joy.
[G Tablet General] jasco13:
Maybe it its something with the dock. battery lasts forever even if it doesn't say 100%. I'm not too worried about it.

[EVO 4G General] Sulten:
Ok i have Cm7 RC1 loaded but for some reason i cant connect to 3g or wifi so im guessing its the prl. i cant do a update perl since well u know. So how would you load a perl manually hopping this will fix my issue.

Unless anyone has ideas on why i cant. I cant connect to wifi also.
[EVO 4G General] mekaneck:
You can only load a PRL on a sense ROM. You'll have to flash back and update. You can do it over air using the update prl option, or you can do it manually with ##data# if you have the older epst.apk. Check out the verizon hack thread in the ROM development section for more info. Sorry, there's no way to do it in an AOSP ROM.
[EVO 4G General] Sulten:
ok so which rom has sense so i can do this? im using CM7 RC1 or can u tell me how to install the nightlies from the zip file? i can download them from cyanogem site #1 and 2. im not sure how to do it through rom manger. maybe the perl will be updated in one of those.
[EVO 4G General] wrapkgb:
In the development section, the roms state whether they are aosp or sense
[Nook Color General] czarjohn:
I am running auto nooter on my nc (lovin it) but i have noticed that the available memory is slowly leaking. On reboot, i usually have around 300 available and that number slowly but surely decreases until its so low that it reboots automatically.

I have advanced task killer installed and periodically kill all the tasks to make sure nothing is running in the background.

Any idea what might be causing this?
[Nook Color General] mrapollinax:
Advanced Task Killer is not helping you. Google has come right out and said Task Killers will do more harm than good on your Android device. Here is a good read:

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/04/multitasking-android-way.html
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
It will not reboot when it runs out of ram. My suspicion is you're seeing the 'random reboot' problem that happens on the stock B&N ROM. See here for a workaround: http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Issues

I totally agree with this on 2.2 upwards... Unfortunately 2.1 is a little more lax about memory handling, and can sometimes get quite slow and jumpy and can benefit from a flush. I use System Panel and exclude all of my important tasks and widget, and if I see my NC getting jumpy or such, I'll kill all (which excludes those already excluded apps of course). But auto task killers are always a bad idea.
[Nook Color General] nrune:
Thanks for the post, that was a great read and I am uninstalling my task killer now.

Mike
[Nook Color General] miemens:
Regarding task killing, I recommend something like Watchdog to monitor apps as opposed to an auto-task killer. Watchdog has a really nice widget for monitoring system resources and in the rare occasion that an app starts misbehaving, it will give you a notification and the option to kill it. Otherwise letting the OS handle things itself is the best option. I've been using computers for a very long time and idea of leaving apps running seems counter-intuitive, but in my experience there is no reason to not trust what Google says about the issue.
[Nook Color General] luigi90210:
i am also having these problems but im on honeycomb

i dont have any task killer installed but i installed one last week to check if my memory was leaking or if the rom was just rebooting
[Nook Color General] czarjohn:
Great stuff here. Thanks for all the info. I think it was the random reboot since it did seem to happen most often when i was putting the nc in to standby.

Lots of good stuff here. Gonna miss the little green widget on my home screen, but i guess google knows best...
[Nook Color General] luigi90210:
well i installed honeycomb preview v2 on my eemc from samuallhaff and it seems to remove this problem

i suggest you switch to his rom if you want the memory leaks to stop

Don't confuse "memory leaks" with "weird wifi sleep reboot bug".

So I flashed serendipty and had the rotary lock screen. Then I looked into getting colored setting icons because I was tired of the black and white ones that I've had with 2.1. I found some colored settings and installed them on my phone. They look great, but I lost the rotary lock screen that I had with the original Serendipity rom. Does anyone know how I can get that lockscreen back. I still have the full rom from Serendipity but I don't know how to separate the colored settings and the actual lockscreen choices. Thanks.
