download your theme , put it somewhere on your sd card. EX: create a folder named paragon themes or whatever and put it in there. Enter CWM, install zip from sd and find your folder with the theme and install. then go back, then reboot. Voila!! :) but I'm not responsible if your phone decides to do some other dumb stuff. :) hope this helps.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] CapnPez:
Thanks for the comments! I've been working on a few changes and decided to theme the settings.apk since you mentioned it. Go check it out and let me know what you think! Also, it's not in the screenshots, but I changed the red X to a blue one.

Default Stock wallpaper

Hello All,

Loved the RC6 ROM, played around with the wallpapers and changed it to a personal picture. Now want to switch back to the stock wallpaper of the green background with Android robot. How can I do that? Where do I need to go to find that wallpaper?

Thanks for help you can offer.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I think somehow you delete whatever picture you are using for a wallpaper and it will revert back to the green android wp. Been a long time but I think that's how I did it before.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] warp8x:
Thanks for your quick assistance. Unfortunately it didn't work, possible it's been cached into the system somewhere. Does anyone happen to have a jpg image of that stock android screen?

Cheers.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] CapnPez:
Is this the one you're looking for?

If you ever need to dig one up again, this is the way I grabbed it:

extract the ROM zip file with 7zip (or whatever else you want to use) and then go into

system

framework

framework-res.apk (you just extract this too or open with 7zip)

res

drawable-hdpi

default_wallpaper

Let me know if you were looking for a different one.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] topiratiko:


Do you happen to still have the blue version?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] warp8x:
Yes sir, CapnPez. This is the one. Thanks so much for posting it and the instructions how to extract future ones. You guys are awesome.

Cheers.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] JustinUhhh:
Thanks!

With these awesome themes/boot animations I can make the ROM feel new enough that I don't need to flash a new one constantly. I just have to install these, which is much safer. I appreciate your work!

[Vibrant Android Development] Chalup:
You have got to be kidding me.... a week or two ago I reported that developer to Google numerous times for publishing stolen apps (e.g. pew pew) and inappropriate content. And now look, it turns out they were trojans. Google has to do something about these ****ers spamming the market with pirated and otherwise useless/distasteful/malicious content. I'm getting so sick of seeing the "latest apps" category littered by scum. It's unfair to legitimate indie developers who need all they exposure they can get.
[Vibrant Android Development] jnutz:
It is just as easy to not install untrusted apps. People who just download random apps and install them deserve this. Perhaps this little incident will be a wake up call to everyone to make sure they only install trusted software. I say this security flaw is a feature for weeding out the idiots.

Hello,

i plan to buy me a xoom, but it will be releaed in april in germany.

So my question, can i use another 3g card in the xoom then verizon if i get on from ebay us?

regards

sphings
[Xoom General] mazz0310:
First, no 3G doesn't use cards, it's built into the Xoom. Second, the 4G has a card, and it trasmits in different frequencies than Germany carriers do, so you most likely cannot swap the SIM cards.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
True, there is a slot in the Xoom with a dummy sim card that reads something like put a sim card in ONLY after 4g uprgrade, so thats not possible.
[Xoom General] sphings:
seems i've to wait until t-mobile will release it ... damn ...
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Even then the 4g modem is the only thing that will use the sim card. The LTE frequency will probably only work in the US.
[Xoom General] knut150:
There are two technologies used in the USA: cdma and gsm. In the EU typically is only GMS.

The xoom that was released in the States has the cdma technology, as for the LTE, it’s been deployed first here in the states.

Since you are in Germany you could use the xoom as wifi only.

RESOLVED!

I have been on these forums long enough that if you violate protocol you get spanked but please resist if you can. I am out of ideas, I have the flu, I have a sick phone, I think this is the correct forum, I hope I have dotted all my I’s and crossed all my T’s. I have searched this forum and I have searched using Google.

Folks, I know there are dozens and dozens of "help me I've bricked my phone" threads. I have read and read and read but I can't seem to drill down to the exact issue I'm having. I used AIO Captivate Toolbox to attempt to install Cognitionv4.1.1.zip ROM on my newly updated to the official Froyo 2.2 Captivate. Having never seen the process before, but having been ROMing phones for several years it looked like it went ok. There was a progress bar on the phone as the file was downloaded, the phone restarted, and the screen displayed a gray battery alternating with a circular progress animation. Reading all the advice out there, and based on previous experience, I waited. And I waited some more. I went to watch a couple of TV shows and 90 minutes later it was doing the same thing. I pulled the USB, no affect; really nothing left I did a battery pull. When I returned the battery to the phone it went into a loop displaying the AT&T logo following by a black screen. Then I spent a few hours, seriously, trying to get the phone into the Download mode following what I read in the forums. I was unable to do the three button process so I cannibalized my Kindle USB to get a connector to make a jig. I had the resistors I needed to get the 301K I needed, soldered it all together and was able to get the phone in Download Mode. When I plug and unplug the phone I hear Windows make the sound it makes when it finds a USB device. I tried to use Odin to restore to factory, it said it was successful, the phone restarted, back to the gray battery and the spinning progress bar. Now when I run Odin, plug in the phone Odin doesn’t see the phone even though Windows does. Please, how can I get a working ROM on my phone?

Thanks,

Brian

[Captivate General] smokestack76:
Have you tried one of the One click stock odins? Try that and see what happens
[Captivate General] Burstaholic:
It might help you to note that that battery+spinner screen is what happens when you plug in the cable with the phone completely off - it's supposed to do that. This allows you to charge the battery with the phone off. You should be able to just press power and boot.

The boot might fail, but that battery screen alone isn't an indicator of any problem, it's just what's supposed to happen when your phone is off and plugged in.

This is assuming I'm reading your post correctly, of course.

I've had trouble getting Odin to work before, but never had it claim success and then be unable to boot (I've recovered from a complete soft brick twice now, yay DIY experimenting).
[Captivate General] carlsbl:
I just did a workstation restart, battery pull in the phone, put it back in Download mode with the jig, executed Odin, connected the phone and Windows sees it as a Samsung Composite USB device, hit start on Odin3, Odin returns this message and here it sits:

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

<ID:0/005> File analysis..
[Captivate General] watsa:
Put your phone in download mode after connecting to USB and it should work
[Captivate General] carlsbl:
I know there are more than one version of Odin, do I need to look for a specific one? Obviously I need one for the Captivate.
[Captivate General] carlsbl:
When I first read this my jaw dropped. I was trying to remember if I tried powering on. Well Odin completed a moment ago and when I powered up it went back to the looping between AT&T and a black screen. If only were that simple. :)
[Captivate General] james.roddy:
when Odin fails you, you are doomed!

I'm kidding... but really... good luck
[Captivate General] existz:
Look in the development section for an Odin 1 click, this will flash you back to stock... open Odin on your comp first...then plug in your usb and goto download mode, for me I have to take my battery out, plug in usb, hold both volume keys and insert battery while holding them...and then it goes to download mode and Odin sees it, its the only way I can get it to flash successfully, ...

As long as you can get into download mode, its not bricked... just finding the right combo can sometimes be tricky

EDIT

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36

Thanks to all of you for any contribution. What pointed me the right direction was drilling down and searching for specific versions of Odin rather than "unbrick" my phone. It was that search that led to this link. Several folks above mentioned Odin, thank you.

What I didn't say in my original post, because I didn't want to sound any more pathetic than I already did was, I worked on this issue from noon yesterday until 2:00AM this morning. I was back up at 5:30 and worked on it pretty much continuously until now. I really do have the flu and I feel like crap, but the good feeling that comes with not having a bricked phone has been restored. I *know* you all understand. I am crawling back in bed where I should have been all along.

Thanks again!

hi guys

htc singapore tells me the GSM 7 pro is for the UK only and they're not gonna bring it in, which leaves me the option of importing one

i'm looking at clove and not expansys cos it's so damn expensive on their site

my questions..

1. is clove reliable?

2. are there any other reliable sites that ships to singapore?

3. can the 7 pro be chevron-ed?

4. it supports gsm 900/1800/2100 in the uk. singapore uses the same bands. does it mean it'll work too?

sorry for dumb questions. this is the first time i'm buying a phone from outside of my own country

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebc100:
Hello,

I just thought that I would let you know that the 7 Pro is available not only in the UK, but also in Germany (through O2) and Luxembourg (through LuxGSM).

I have one these devices, and I can honestly say that the phone is great.

I purchased my one without contract when it first came out, and it cost the same as what Expansys are asking.

I don't think that you will in fact find it much cheaper (not as a new phone at least).

Good luck!!

P.S. Yes, it will work in Singapore so long as the phone that you get is not simlocked.

i've heard

but the dvp is also in a bad state with hangs and stuff

if the 7 pro is really that bad, then i'm really stuck between a rock and a hard place given that

1. i need a keyboard. big, fat fingers hate touchscreen keyboards

2. there are only 2 choices, 7pro and dvp. lg quantum is not sold here in singapore, neither would i want it cos it looks....bad

3. the dvp. just go to it's sub-forum to see the complaints. getting better, but i would rather not deal with a troublesome phone which dell singapore says they have no idea when they're bringing in, if they would even bring it

4. my touch pro is on life support. it was showing me funky screens yesterday, with delayed sms messages of up to 12 hours (timestamp is correct, it's just when it actually appears on my phone) and some keys on my keyboard is actually alternating between registering multiple presses and not registering anything at all
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z33dev33l:
My suggestion is get the 8 gig dell venue pro. There are no issues with the 8 gig, the issues are all due to the poor memory cards used in the 16 gigs. I recommend picking up an 8 gig and upgrading it to a 32 gig. It's an easy process and leads to easily the best of all WP7 devices.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blanket:
i actually emailed htc and dell on warranty issues

htc singapore is willing to take it in for a fee, dell singapore just said NO

i'll wait till next week to place an order. meanwhile, i'll just try asking dell singapore again

i'm keen on the dvp too, just so u know. i'm only getting the 7 pro out of desperation

Thanks for the suggestion anyway, will keep it in mind before making my purchase
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z33dev33l:
I understand, it's well worth it and it is without a doubt the best looking phone out there today. The 16 gigs are the only ones with issues... major screw up on dells part but they've been reasonable about it. If you want the WP7 phone that works best the DVP is it

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danilupion:
I meant vanilla android, i am aware of resources where you can find stock samsung compilations (namely samfirmware -sorry but as a new user i cannot post links- although there's also an updated list in a thread somewhere in xda forums) and i also follow some of the custom made roms (currently i'm using Darky's v9.3).

I would like to get to know how to get my custom rom compiled and packged so i9000 can load it, the reason: i really dislike samsungs additions to android (touchwiz) and i haven't found a custom rom similar to what i am seeking.

For the first steps i suppose i should grab the code from aosp but i just don't know if i need some drivers (i suspect i do), and if so... where can i get these?

Then... once all that stuff is compiled, what are the steps that should be followed to make the compiled image flasheable?
