ok guys my galaxy s is borng...suggestions :S ?

Hello every one , my galaxy S i bought 2 weeks ago is boring , i was exploring the stock 2.1 Eclair update 1. i have no ROM , no lagfixes or any builds
just stock GTi9000
Frimware: 2.1 update 1
basband : i9000JXJG2
Kernal version 2.6.29, build number , EcLAIR.JPJG8
most versions i see on youtube , are with more advanced looking , i mean they don't have the boring " green phone " on the homescreen next to the orange contacts , and the messaging , then application ,
looks like this one " http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-c...g-Galaxy-S.jpg " ( pic taken from google )
they have a grey semi transparent one and some how it looks like higher resolution and cleaner pic, every thing is stock here, and since i don't have market i strugle to get an app, but i downloaded a vending.apk file and i have the market too bad i have the starting download stuck bugg ( didn't fix it yet )
i was wondering if someone could tell me how to pimp my Samsung galaxy s i9000 ( international )
to get all these cool looking things and cool looking phone with the nice lock screen and big digital . thx in advance btw iam new to android mobiles and samsung galaxy s is my first mobile
i hope someone understand what i want

I would suggest you go to this thread for all pimping related queries.

Generally, people customize there Galaxy S 3 ways
1) Widget Customization - This includes downloading widgets and icon packs from the market. This will change the way the icons on the homescreen look and lets you personlize your homescreen with the info you want.
2) Launchers- There are a variety of home launchers available but the biggest two are LauncherPro and ADW. ADW comes with themes that can be downloaded from the market, some are paid and some are free. LauncherPro gives the option to resize widgets if you have the paid version. Each person has their own preference as to which one they use.
3) Themes and ROMS- These are the biggest changes to the phone and usually involve rooting and flashing the phone with odin. ROMS are altered software releases that have customized status bars, docks, wallpapers, etc. Same thing with themes but instead they replace some system files to alter the status bars and etc. This is more recommended if you're willing to spend some time learning about the phone. Offers the best "pimping" in my opinion.

mind me asking where u'r from enigma ?
That eclair build is the same build im using (Africa & ME Test Version) and have market working absolutly fine using market enabler for paid apps (ERIS Market Fix didnt help at all ) .
fix the market problem by doing the following
1- in the time settings, use 24 hour time format ( u can change it back after you finish)
2- in the dial pad, dial *#272*ur four digit time# (for EXAMPLE its 0846 now so u input *#272*0846# )
3- a menu will open, choose xsg then intall the market. (by install the market i mean click on the option down below to apply ur choice)
ps: this will wipe ur device, just make sure u backup before all this.
after this the phone will reboot like factory with the market icon available, downloads should work just fine.
after that u could tweak the phone with root + SU + lagfix
from there u could enjoy the market, install games/apps/whatever
i know i was bored with my phone without the market but after i got it working im almost always on the phone and with only 1 problem left to fix, Battery life
if u need any help pm me

@ Lawliett , thanks for the reply i will look more into the pimping thread i will also try the launcher pro and let you know of the results thx again btw can you suggest some apps ? i know about launcher pro and beautiful widgets , also can you recommend a stable/fast ROM and i hope it doesn't need root , is it safe to Use ODIN ?without bricking phone?
@mazroui , iam from Egypt ^_^ , i was going to try the dialpad thing but i read on some forums that it is irreversible , and since i don't know what does it do i didn't do it , but i would love to try it out , i was also looking for someone to help me pimp my mobile and you jumped out of no where lol thanks for the offer, i will PM you so we can talk , thanks again my Emirates brother i will try help you and help my self for fixing battery life

[Q] Lockscreen gives same wallpaper as Background

Hi there,
Currently I'm using Darky's v9.2 Extreme Edition and I'm very satisfied (except for a bit battery drain on which I'm still trying to improve).
The thing is, before upgrading to Darky's I was able to set 2 different backgrounds for lockscreen and unlockscreen.
Now when I select a wallpaper it automatically becomes the lockscreens wallpaper as well. There is no way I can seperate the 2 anymore by my knowledge.
Is there any way to have a different lockscreen again?
Thanks in advance!

Same problem here,
Hoping for some answers soon!

Yup. U need to flash darkys rom with the samsung gallery3d. The default gallery is asop thats why u cant choose a seperate wallpaper

Is that the only way? If I have to flash it all over again then nvm. I just customised everything. Isn't there an easier way to do this? Like use darkys configurator for it?

If you flash using darkys configurator and unselect 'wipe device' all ur settings will stay the same. And if you flashed a theme u can flash the theme again straight after flashing the rom. Non of your settings/customisations will be affected.

You can install the Modded 3D Gallery directly from the app "SGS Tools" without flashing a new ROM, by Fr4gg0r, here : ht*p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775154
(Idk if it's exactly what you need, try it )

its the same with me, you can only change lockscreen wallpaper when your using 'samsung unlock'
with the other 3 - android unlock - puzzle unlock - epic unlock it will not work

Awesome , That was that I mentioned.
When I'm back home I'll check it out.
Hope now progress on this will be faster.
I think many people will help in resizning if it will be show somewhere. Is there any guide on XDA?

[Q] Tablet UI on the Note with ICS

Hi guys I got a question.
My galaxy Note runs ICS with the Team Rocket 1.5v rom.
My question is, can I enable the tablet UI on this rom and how do I do that.
I have seen that it has been done on other roms and I was curious if it was posible with this rom
Thank you and byebye

I don't know about RR1.5, but here is how it's done on AOSP ICS:
- go to Market and download Rom Toolbox (it's free)
- after you start RTB, go to Performance/build.prop tweaks
- you'll see a slider for LCD density there
- set your LCD density at 213 or lower to get tablet mode activated
- press 'yes' when RTB asks you to reboot your phone
That's it.

Well I tried it onTRR 1.5. The status bar at the bottom dnt show up. Dial gets messed up. U cant recieve calls and some more issues i dnt remember so if u want tab mode. Flash AOSP first
Galaxy note

Thanks guys. I will see what I can do.

thanks for this tip. works perfect
but the text and icons are quite small. is there a possibility to increase the text-/icon-size?
especially the text-size

You can modify font size in Settings/Display/Font size.

Ok I tried this, and setup 213. Didn't work atall, and now I have a problem to return my phone to standard 320! Rom toolbox lets me setup 280 at highest.. anyway to get 320 back..?

You need to run an AOSP ROM to enable the tablet UI. It won't work on TW ROM's. To get back to 320 DPI, go to /system/build.prop and change it manually there and reboot.

Use Root Explorer, edit /system/build.prop and change the RO.LCD.DENSITY line to a value of 320, save, reboot.

Thanks mates! Im just too curious to try everything
