I don't really know where to post this. I tried searching but there doesn't seem to be any info on this. I'm running Damage 2.08 which originally came w/ the stock black notification bar. However, after flashing that ROM, one of the first things I did was flash a white bar. This was months ago so I can't restore that version from nandroid, it would obviously kill everything on my phone now.
So what I'm looking for is basically a way to remove the white bar that I flashed or a .zip that has the stock black bar that I can flash over the white one.
Thanks,

Just flash the rom zip over it again without wiping. It will basically reset the visual tweaks (including the black bar) without affecting your settings.

For some reason it doesn't work. It hangs on the black HTC screen. That's right after I turn it on. Whenever I see someone's phone hang it's on the white screen - mine doesn't even get that far.
1. Does my A2SD have anything to do w/ it?
2. I tried black themes through Metamorph (old .jar version and new .xml version) and neither work. Both make the phone hang on the black screen.
3. I also have close to 100 apps installed - could that be part of the problem?
I appreciate any help!
I hope you did Nandroid before you made change? If yes, restore from Nandroid. To change back to the stock Black you just need to replace the PNG files in Framwork-Res.apk and push back to the phone.

Yes, I already restored from Nan. As far as pushing the stock PNG: that'll leave me with a black bar, yes, but also I'll have a black clock, wouldn't I?
Thanks

Try wiping dalvik-cache before reinstalling 2.08, then let it try to boot for 20 min. There might be a conflict that it can't sort through now. That, or just try upgrading to the most recent version of DC (2.09.01), that should reset the visuals too.
In truth, back when I was running Damage I had the same problems (with the hang on black htc screen after every mod ... upgrade to 2.09, metamorph, etc.). I just ended up moving on, and found many roms to be much more stable and expansive in terms of options. If you love Sense, then check out nfinitefx or ZenHeroFX; if you can handle moving to AOSP (for the sake of a HUGE boost in speed), then check out buufed or the CM6 nightlies. DC 2.08 worked very well for when it came out, but there is much bigger and better, so you might wanna consider an upgrade .
Either way, good luck man.

Thank you for the advice my good man! I actually seriously considered running Sense-less (lol) but I kind of like the Facebook/Contacts integration and the nicer camera... I'll give it another go - I never use the Sense Home, I use LauncherPro, so I know I WON'T be missing that..!
HOWEVER
Here would be my 1st question if I decide on AOSP: How do I make the notification bar black like in Sense?!
Although perhaps I could get Metamorph to work properly or that "services.jar" mod where you can change the color might actually work...
I'll give it a go probably tomorrow but if you have any more insight, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks

As far as the black notification bar goes, I'm running froyo with the blackmod theme, although there is one for darchdroid as well. It includes a themed black bar (as well as a ton of other sick theming features). The camera thing I cant help out on, but the new version of"facebook for android" in the market syncs contacts very well (better than my wifes with facebook sense). Another heads up, if you can find fancy widget on the forums, it looks just like the clock/weather widget everyone knows.
Hope this helps.

OK, I've run into a brick wall. I nan'd just in case (good thing). I wiped my phone. I wiped dalvik chache. I flashed 4 different ROMs because NONE of them load. I gave them all 30 mins of boot-up time. They all go past the black HTC screen, then continue on to the white HTC screen (good sign), then to the logo screen (better sign). However, all the ROMs, after about 20-30 minutes just go into the loop of white HTC screen to logo screen and it just loops.
The ONLY way to get the ROM to load is to remove the SD card. BUT All my apps are on the card. Do I have to wipe the ext partition too? If so, I'm puzzled by A2SD - I thought the whole purpose was to never have to reinstall your apps. So apparently, A2SD seems to be causing this...
You do have to wipe your ext partirion. A2SD is only to save space on the internal memory.

Hey guys, I'm hoping one of you can help me out !!
Downloaded the WP7Android Contacts app recently (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818607), (Loving it BTW) but have got a couple of niggles, i'm running an unrooted HTC Wildfire on 2.2.1 the top half of the app (the people banner) is taking up half of my screen, is it possible to resize the app at all or do something so it doesn't take up so much space ?
Also when i'm trying to log in to Facebook through it, when i get the permissions page, the 'Allow' tab is right at the bottom of the screen and i can't get to it to press it, has anyone else had this issue ? is there a workaround ?
Please help !! love this app, but can't really do much with it at the moment !!
Does anyone else have the problem I'm having where when I open up my app drawer, and most of my apps aren't in there but when I go to the market it says installed and I'm able to open it from there. I'm running Clean Fusion V1 right now but this has happned on every ROM I've flashed. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem or a way to fix it.

I have had this problem even on the Stock build.
I had the app in the Application uninstall list, but it was not in the tray, and the homescreen link (shortcut?) showed the "android icon".
I HAVE noticed that if you don't let the thing catch-up on boot (let it boot a solid 5 minutes) things like this happen, especially when booting the 1st time after a ROM load, or stock restore.
It is all about them screwing with Vanilla source and the crappy TW Launcher tweaks they did to make TW particulars work the way THEY want it to, NOT CORRECTLY THAT IS...
Ok so I was all about using the Tiamat Hammerhead 2.1 rom on my Honeycomb 3.2 Xoom mostly because I wanted the desktop UA string for the native browser. I had a modded framework-res file for 3.1 that took care of it for me when I was on 3.1. After updating to 3.2 I had lost that (obviously) and was rather annoyed with using the about:debug trick again. After searching for a while to find something similar for a 3.2 build the only hope I had was the Tiamat 2.1 rom. I have no problems with 99.9% of this rom, the one thing I am having trouble with though is the very thing I was looking for. My Google homepage has a nice picture as a background instead of the classic white page with multicolored Google logo. It wouldn't show up on the mobile version of the site but, do the debug trick and there it is! Since installing this rom however, when the desktop version of the site loads, the background image is distorted. It doesn't fill the page and is shoved to one corner of the screen. I'll attach a screenshot so you can see. I don't know if it's a rom thing, a google thing, or a 3.2 thing but if anyone else has this problem or HAD this problem, I'd like to know how to fix it, if possible.
Hi!
I'm a developer over at the GSM Hero section. I recently got the camera working decently on our phones with ICS, you might wanna try it out, I can't see why it wouldn't work for you guys too.
Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?d0ccs22yr447fby
Just put it in /system/lib/hw. You'll also need the proprietary libs in /system/lib/.
Happy Hacking!
I'll test it out

Any luck?
Bumpity bump
i can confirm this works
i ported the eris ics 4.0.4 base that mongoosehelix has provided in their forums to my heroc, since the copy of ics i have for this device wouldnt work for some reason (kept fc'ing when trying camera). i had camera preview, not jerky at all. looked pretty good actually. just did as you said op and copied the file to the lib/hw folder and bam good to go. taking pictures was another story, a combo of touching the onscreen button and hitting the trackball finally yeilded a picture. cannot say anything for camcorder preview, did not try it.
thanks for making this for us, and hopefully we can get an ics 4.0.5 rom when its time
That's awesome!
I've updated this lib since my first post, I removed the support for barcode scanning since it was leaking a lot of memory. Here's the new version: http://www.mediafire.com/?fp7tryck4qsh1zu
Hello,
Please expand on what exactly is needed from the Eris rom when you reference "proprietary libs". I have built the Evervolv HeroC rom from code several times now and adding your file changes nothing for me? The current build version for our HeroC's is Evervolv-Ignis-2.2.0b1.
Cheers
i ended up using dsixda kitchen to port the eris ics 4.0.4 rom, and the only file i changed afterward is added op's file in lib/hw. it just worked after that.
im trying to figure out how to get this working on matt/jaybob's 4.0.3 rom, copying libs to it and while i cant get a preview yet, it doesnt force close right away. it will sit with a black screen until you press home or back. so thats a start.
i suspect it has something to do with the annoying red borders that show up whenever something visual happens, is there any way to fix that?
if i figure this stuff out then ill post my work, thanks op and thanks matt/jaybob for your work getting ics on our trusty old hero's
Weird that you can't get it working on jaybobs/matts build. You should only need the lib posted in the OP and these:
libcamera_client.so
libcameraservice.so
libcamera.so
liboemcamera.so
I downloaded your ROM to take a look and those were all there so that can't be the problem... What happens if you replace all those with ones from our GSM Hero build or the Eris build?
i made an update zip with those libs from the hero gsm 4.0.3 build, and no dice. also tried the eris build libs on our 4.0.3 and no dice. there is progress though, it used to just fc right away, but now it stays at a black screen and doesnt do anything until i press menu or back. ill keep trying to get something working
While you are at it, could you post that Eris port of ics? I would love a new ROM to try.
i do not wish to steal op's thunder in this thread, so i am opening a new thread in android development. im uploading to mediafire as i type this so check it out and get your hopes up for camera lol
