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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1) Is better if you report this into the thread, you will have more help.
2) Which icons? Icons on sense or?
3) It's working fine everything here.
Hi guys,
This is not a big issue, but i'd love to understand what's going on...

Base :
HTC one M7
android 4.4.3 / sense 6.0

I didn't noticed what moment it happened, but now, i got the native HTC clockweather which i like on my lock screen, but as soon as i unlock my phone, the clock disappear.
i tryed to add the widget to my main desktop, but weatherclock widget is not in the list. i have the application in my list though, with last updates, and it's on the lockscreen... So, i wonder where this damned widget is hidden ???
i haven't touched any option about the clock after i installed all the custom softs...
Does anyone know "how to" ?
many thanks in advance
