I've finally gotten a Kaiser...

...and no I'm not going to ask everyone what's the best ROM or some such; I read the "Read Before Posting". I just thought I'd kind of introduce myself and allow people the opportunity to relive their first experiences vicariously through me.
But yea, I'm very excited to finally get my hands on one of these and I've got a serious amount of reading to do on how to get everything nice and nifty. Wish me luck!
I do have one serious question though, as far as physical aesthetic modification, how easy is it? I may want to repaint things and especially get rid of that awful AT&T logo. I'm assuming there are those out there that have tried similar things to what I'm thinking of.

Someone was asking this before, I think someone else was suggesting sugar cubes, but I cannot find the post... I'll keep looking.
EDIT:
Found It: Search this forum for "Sugar" there are loads of ATT Logo Removal threads

Hey! Thanks for lookin' out.
As far as actually repainting the whole thing, has anyone done it? Faceplate only, though.

I hate the ugly att logo, like most people. although honestly this phone doesnt look all that slick to begin with. The kaiser is an amazing phone, even more so if you know how to use it right xD
welcome and hope you enjoy it here.

I have the Stellar and I thought it was really nice looking when it came out. But since the Diamond / Raph, well ... what can I do
Dave

Hey everyone! I finally got my Kaiser yesterday and I spent all night and morning toying with it.
I'm now using HDIII and I've customized it completely to my tastes with all the different tweaks and such out there. Thanks for the welcomes!
It's so funny now, though, because after all this customization, I keep feeling like there's more I could do to it and I want to do it all, haha.
If I had known the Kaiser was capable of such things, I would've gotten one long ago.
[EDIT]
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to just tell me how to fix one thing. I probably could've searched it, which I did, but I guess I either did something wrong or that wasn't it. I wanted to change the screen where it displays the 'RGD' lines with the numbers. I thought that would be the 'welcomhead.96.png' but I guess that's not it. So, how could I change this? Thanks.

If you are talking about the little numbers in lower right corner when it boots, that's the software and radio version info it can only be changed with a different ROM.

That's the Splash screen, there is a post by pof and by -888- somewhere that will help you.

Not true. He wants to change the splash screen. Not change the numbers themselves. Its a simple flash and you are all set

Help with Android on Xperia please.

Hi guys, i'm new to this forum and would like to say firstly, hello and thanks to everyone for the info!. I've had my Xperia X1i now for a year and love adding apps and games and stuff but Android caught my eye the other day and i've spent nigh on 4 nights solid, running in circles trying to get info on installing the right version but to no avail. Would it be possible please to let me know step by step on what to install, how to get the correct version and also how to "tweak" the startup.t please? I would be forever in your debt. Thankyou.

Where do you get the idea all those problems are already solved ? Maybe asking in that thread would help. AFAIK no progress was made beyond what what HTC users did.

Welcome!!!

[Q] Help with Galaxy Tab Home Screen mod

Hi, I got my Galaxy Tab this week. Have been seeing some nice Home Screen mods. (like this one http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/9461/niteowl360despicable.png by niteowl360)
I was wondering if someone could help me make one like this just a little bit different, and send it to me? It would've been nice to have a phone that is different to others, and I can't make it on my own. Not much of a modding guy. It would really be awesome if someone could do this for me, and explain what I need and what to do when the background / mod is ready.
If someone got the time and want to do it, please answer this thread

[Q] Is the display brightness wears out?

Hi all,
Except the google tracking story, i am a happy owner of a i9000.
Recently, i persuaded a friend to buy the same phone, since he did not want to spend money for a top / latest model.
When i place them side by side, i realize that the new phone was a bit brighter, so i went to system - display - brightness, I unticked the Automatic brightness and set both phones to full.
The conclusion was that the new phone was much brighter.
Is my phone wears out? Or Samsung decided to place a bit brighter screen?
Both phones are GT-I9000HK****, I ware a custom rom v2.2.1 and the new one official v2.2.1.
If anybody have an idea, or if you can compare your brightness with other i9000 phones, please share it to this thread.
Thanks

In time .
Search for answer as this is a repetition of a post from the last week on the same subject .

Thanks anyway

[Q] Bad Cricket Flash, What do I do??? please have mercy

Ok, i just bought the phone under the impression it was new (still had plastic wrap on it), However, the girl took it to Cricket and they supposedly tried to flash it. I didn't realize at the time of purchase.
Charged up, it went thru the motions and into the OS fine, but would not activate. The Verizon Tech said there was no way to recover it. Called it Toast. I called "XDA" on him.. he said "umm maybe". So here i am... begging.
Please be gracious... i have spent a couple hours now searching and my eyes and brain are throbbing with numbers and acronyms...
Can someone PLEASE lay out a ROADMAP for me on what i need to do to get back to a useable phone???
I've got minimal experience with flashing, some WinMo5/6 back in the day, and i know its gotta be different but not too damn difficult. If someone would like to be my Obi-Wan, and show me the ways, i would be forever grateful.
I dont know much of anything, but with some (VALID) links, lol, i can learn. i'm just burnt out at this point.
Thanks Guys n Gals

PM me your gtalk name and I will walk you through it.

thanks so much in advance.... i am on sporadically but i hope we can link up soon!!
