First of all I am a noob but reading your threads, i was able to root my captivate and install cognition v2.3b8 on my phone... everything works great... i have a dumb question... the new setup came with 6 home screen/ windows... i want to delete all the windows/screens and just keep one... but after long search have been unable to find a way. Can somebody please help. Thanks
You need to find a launcher in the market that you like and stick with that so you are not always at the whim of the developer with regard to the launcher included in the rom. The launcher included in that rom is not customizable...at least not in a user friendly way.
Thanks
Ok that makes... any recommendations for the launcher? Something that keeps the original look
zeam is my favorite and worth trying

If you're a complete noob the easiest way to get a gingerbread look on your captivate would be flashing a theme package the same way you flashed your rom.
The best and safest way for a beginner I think is to follow a youtube video and this one shows you all the steps with a preview of what you're about to install. But as said before you need to have ClockworkMod the same method you probably used for flashing your rom.

Now that i have done the one click rooting to my phone"nexus one 2.2 Froyo with ""universal androot"" I was just wondering what would be the BEST rom to install on my phone.What advice would you give me with your experiences. what extra things do i need to consider putting on my phone. what would be a good security apps to hold intruders from getting in my phone..i have heard of overclocking but have no clue as to set it up and at what frequency...I would like to keep my hot-spot , perhaps increase the sound quality and have a 720 cap camera just to name a few.Any help would be greatly appreciated

I've got Cyanogenmod 6 on mine and I've loving it. Fast, stable, and looks great!
cool.now my question to you is where do i get a safe link to download and what are the steps to do so..thanks for your feed back
Go to Development section and read. Each ROM has a thread containing instructions for installation.
I suggest Enomther's ROM.
hey!!!
I am so happy.I tried into recovery mode but I could not find the rom there.did not know if i had to rename it or....anyways ...i went into the rom manager that I had downloaded from there the whole thing was self explanatory.I did download the cyanogenmod 6 fist and then the kernel .wow this is amazing .I wish I had done that a long long time ago.My contribution to this great team is on the way ang in the near future!! thanks guys!!
Nice going! Where did u find universal androot?
so if i use this on my unrooted nexus one 2.2, i can get root access apps?
Im not interested in custom roms just want to uninstall apps like amazon and twitter and use apps like titanium backup.
Will i receive OTA updates? and you can un-root right?

homeswitcher doesnt change themes....its a launcher switcher...
what exactly are you trying to 'theme' and what rom are you running. most roms have specific themes that you can use with them...
Hey guys
I couldn't find anything about this.
Is it possible to get the lock screen and the weather app from the Sensation on our IS without flashing a different ROM?
I like the stock ROM but I want that lock screen and the weather app...

Thanks. I cant get it to work though.
Flashed the lockscreen and weather app with CWM. Killed my phone. Just startet looping at the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen.
No problem to fix and go back off course but still...
Can anyone tell me how to get it to work?
I tried flashing CoreDroid. It looks very nice and have many of the things i want. But i want it in the stock ROM.
Anyone can give my a kind of idiot guide to emplement some 3.0 stuff in my IS?
Me too, I'm new to customising Android. I have done iphones and psp in the past but the information is not clear on this topic and seems to be all over the place and spread accross many topics.
I currenty have flashed the standard virgin Rom to debrand my IS and I have made it s-off and its now rooted with clockwork mod recovery installed. I would like to install some Denver 3 stuff to the standard Rom but being a noob I'm reluctant to try with out a better understanding.
Could someone please give us noobs a straight forward guide in doing this.
Cheers
Pat.

why don't you try the Virtuous Unity 1.25.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122805
It works very well for people who like sense!
Yeah just downloaded it and about to give it a shot. I hope I dont screw up my phone. Never done this before.
I just figured it would be easier to add the stuff to an existing rom rather than flash a complete custom one.
Cheers
Pat
I personaly don't like the Sense 3.0 to much animation which gets kind of boaring after some time and sucks performance and battery!
Just my oppinion
well, with a Nabdroid Backup you should ot be worried to try a new ROM as you can always go back!
I tried the first relase of the Cyanogen ROM and that's the one for me so far.
I already liked the stock ROM on the Nexus S - but not the device itself.
So the Cyanogen ist very close - but better!
Is it easy to do? the instructions seem simple enough. I have made a back up of my existing rom, so if something goes wrong I can re flash my original rom and be back to square 1 correct.
Correct - it is a full image.
You go back exactly to the point where you created the recovery.
I love this feature - it makes it possible to try out a different ROM without loosing all the work you did on the ROM.
Last thing before I do it. It says to do a full wipe? Is this done in the recovery menu? do I do wipe data/factory reset as well as wipe cache partition?
Or is this a different thing all together?
Cheers
PAt
A wipe data/factory reset is sufficient. People will say do it three times, but you only have to do it once.

All good, alreay done it and applied the fix for the soft buttons.
I was thinking, Apparently the incredible s comes with all of Australias maps pre installed. Now that I have flashed this rom, would I have lost these and if so is there a way to get these onto my system
Cheers
Pat
Im really just after the lock screen and the weather widget. The other stuff imnot fussed about.
The resolution on the unity rom is a bit funny. It all functions great tho.
I tried the android revolution HD and that worked except for the market wouldnt download.
Is there a way to just flash the lock screen and widgets to a stock un modified virgin au ROM?
Cheers
Pat
Would HIGHLY recommend this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088498
There's nothing different to the Stock Rom apart from the fact it runs alot more smoothly.
You then install this:-
•HTC Sense 3.0 "All in 1" (version 0.3) for Android Revolution HD 1.0.x
And voila - Sense 3.0
Thats the one I had and the market didnt work, formated and flashed it 3 times.
hello guys! im also a newbie here(esp in android) but i also want to S-off my incredible S, i know that there are already several topics regarding s-off but honestly i dont know how to perfom it and im really afraid to brick my phone, can you please help me guys! any help will be greatly appreciated! thanks : )
Using this link to ROOT LG Thrill 4G
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-lg-thrill-4g-with-super-one-click-app-guide/
What's the best ROM that may allow me to still have 3D & will remove potential Bloatware from the phone?
This is my first ROOT, any help or suggestions?
I just need some good ROM suggestions, maybe something that will change the Dock Bar(Bottom of Screen). Or give me a feel like Motoblur.
Just suggest some.
close to stock but without bloatware
definatelly thriller rom
but a slim down rom then you should go with doom slim
i tried both and for now i'm going back to thriller
follow the steps on thriller and you won't go wrong, i didn't!
I am currently on thriller and am using the lunar ui theme, its nice. I haven't had time yet but I was planning on trying doomed froyo slim Becquerel it is the roms with current and up to date devs support, where as gtg is now working with the galaxy s2 so I don't see thriller rom getting much support in the future.
It was a little tough getting the cwm recovery on, but I followed the guide on here and everything is working fine.
I also like the ics theme, I think I'm gonna go back to that theme, but ill probably switch back and forth

Follow the steps. With you saying that I'm lost, and thanks for the recommendation.
Is there steps? If so how 'WOULD' I find them? Sorry, first time ROOTER here.
And where would I place these ROMs? I know there's supposed to be a ROM folder or do I have to make it? I'm just trying to get as much info as possible, please work with me despite my troubles.
Where would I place ROMs? And do any of these ROMs change the Dock at the bottom?

How do I change my UI?
Please don't be frustrated with my questions.
Ok, so I've Backed Up my ROM. But how do I change my UI and what are the choices I've got of ROMs?
This should be moved to the general section as it doesn't have any development involved in it.
Please post questions in the "general" section unless you are actively developing something.
Hello, I only recently upgraded my Note via the OTA to 4.0.3. I like the look and feel of it but the appearance is not so good in my point of view. I was wondering if anyone could suggest ways to delete TouchWiz or a good stock ics ROM like the one of the Galaxy Nexus. I have never rooted before but i'm open to the possibility if I can find a good tutorial.
Thanks in advance for coping with my n00b question.
hey
hi this is a new member
Well, if you want to get a stock ICS look (or something close to it) without the need to root or tamper with your device, check out Nova launcher. It looks almost identical to the stock ICS, minus the widgets being in the app menu which can be done to with root, and also it has the ability to have 7 wide dock bar like the Nexus 7.
precisely, as stated above, do you want to change the launcher or entire ROM? there's plenty of launchers in the market, as for room, you may find few with clean, un-samsung-ed Android, like CM9, paranoid etc.
What is better?

What would you as a senior member suggest to just get the clean stock ics look rooting or not doesn't make a difference?

If you're feeling adventurous, I'd recommend paranoid android, cm9 or aokp for pure ics feel.
If not feeling adventurous go with an alternative launcher.

Root Galaxy Note
Hello again, after extensive research I have come across a forum post here on xda that says I can root my Note and using root explorer remove the twlauncher which is basically the touchwiz interface.
I was wondering if this can really work and will it just be like a stock ics like on the Galaxy Nexus?

TW Launcher should be removable, however, I'd install another launcher first - otherwise you mught end up with no possibility to run anything. Besides that, removing tw launcher, will not give different system look, it's just an app launcher.
