[MOD] Hide Clock/Hide AM PM - Mesmerize EB16

Thanks to sbrissen for these awesome mods. He whipped them up for us and let me post it for you guys.
If anything bad happens, it's not our fault. Make a backup before you flash.
EB16 Mesmerize Hide Clock
EB16 Mesmerize Hide AM PM
Just in case you get confused, only flash one of these. Hide the whole clock OR hide the AM/PM.
If you like these, stop by sbrissen and give him some love.

When removing either one do the rest of the icons shift over or does it just leave a blank space?

FYI - You make a (nandroid) backup in the Red Clock work recovery screen (under backup/restore from the main menu)
Did you even read your post before you saved that edit?

What about ESKBL? or whatever it's called that extends the back light timeout for the soft keys.

Heinz 57 issues

So I downloaded the heinz 57 rom with the steel blue theme. Everything seems to be working, except the home screen transition effects. Like the book flip. I tried flashing a different theme and reflashing the rom. Any ideas?

I noticed that they didn't work when I was using a live wallpaper. When I switched back to a regular one, they worked fine for me.

I found that out as well.

If you are trying to use the LED as a flashlight try instant heart rate from the market. can't be left on while you multi task and probably is a huge batt drain but works great for both purposes...2¢

I'm having no issues with my flashlight app. I use Tiny Flashlight

The only issues ive had with Heinz57 is that I cant get the clock on the status bar to change any color but black. And sometimes the market does some weird things, and force closes. So I am having trouble downloading apps/games.
EDIT
I fixed the color issue by restarting my phone after I changed the settings. That worked.
Im still having trouble with the market though. I will try to reflash my phone and see what happens.
Is anyone else having that issue on Heinz57?

my setup
EC10 with root and recovery
CWM 2.5
Heinz57 v4.40.11
OTB Reloaded v 1.3
so far 0 problems whatsoever and its faster than hell. if you dont match this setup. try it. its been literally flawless for me.

i cant get Heinz57 to install. i got the latest update version (5/3/11) and i also completely wiped my phone all the way back to stock (Froyo 2.2) and i have followed directions to a T. but my problem is when i select the zip file to install the ROM from the red recovery it gets to "Installing Update..." and just freezes. the loading bar does nothing and the phone is useless. any suggestions?

My guess is that you aren't waiting long enough. This Rom takes a little longer than most to install.

how long should i be waiting? i can run the EC10 PnP v0.3 ROM with no problems but when i want to switch to ANYTHING else it just stops when it gets to the "Installing Update..." step. it even still has the lines in the loading bar instead of being solid with the download progress. AHHHH! it's driving me crazy! i've been going at it for two days solid now with no luck (although i'm only a noob).

try using the 4/30/11 or wahtever it is. thats what im using and its perfect. the only changes in the new version is he fixed a bug with the MIUI lockscreen i beleive. its basically identical.

You should make sure you're using the latest version of cwm located below, let us know if you still have the issue. I typically flash the .tar in odin (it will replace the existing blue stock recovery so that you don't have to apply any update.zip to get into CWM)

A plus I have noticed is there is no longer a full battery pop-up when charging.

For heinz 57, you require to already have EC10 and the PnP already installed.
So the order i did things in was...
1. EC10 Root and Recovery flashed using odin
2. installed update.zip from blue CWM to get red CWM, , then cwm-recovery-all.zip to keep it red on boot (i think i rebooted once here to make sure i got to red right away alright - no problems)
3. installed mesmerize ec10 .5 pick n pack, from red CWM,
4. then Heinz_57.Hybrid_v4_30_11_OTB.zip installed from cwm red.
hope this helps - i had problems installing heinz 57 until i ready very carefully.
addition: you only need EC10 for heinz, but i could not get just the EC10 root and recovery to work with heinz, so i tried installing the PnP ater the Root and recovery and then heinz installed fine no problems. I am, however having problems with the gps. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067693 for details if you can help - thanks).

er...not exactly.
I've flashed this rom a dozen times, and every kernel available. It works just fine.
Try This.
1: Do a stock (non-rooted) odin flash.
2: Boot your phone, do any account setup, blah blah.
3: Turn Phone off, flash custom recovery-all-fixed
4: Reboot, let fully boot, then turn off, reboot to custom recovery.
5: Install heinz 5/3 (it comes with a kernel, and it's rooted) from zip on sdcard (not update.zip)
6: Reboot, let fully boot, then turn off.
7: Boot to recovery, wipe dalvik and data and then flash your theme.
8: Enjoy.
Make sure you read all the info provided by the devs on their respective threads. If you're applying a ported theme, then read the original thread for that theme.
And remember kids...if you don't know what you're doing, and you have trouble following clearly outlined instructions, and don't check in chat for answers, fail to read guides and tutorials sticked, or are just downright simple...you probably have no business messing with your phone.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Read, alot, ask lots of questions in the right places if you can't find the answers you need from reading. Then post a thread.
And tell 'em J sent ya!

CWM partially flashed/some glitches?

My brother got tired of all the bloatware on his G2x with 2.3.3 OTA, so I proceeded to try to flash a custom ROM. Did the process of NVFlash, but with some unexpected results:
1) As I'm lead to believe, I should see an orange "ANDROID" show up when holding volume down and power. But instead I get a green "ANDROID" with a bunch of Android icons like messaging.
2) When it gets past the screen I mentioned, it does go into CWM Recovery but as soon as I let go of a button to navigate, the phone shuts off. Sometimes it stays on if, while still holding down volume and power, I press volume up, release down, then release power. Even then, it sometimes still shuts off.
3) When trying to flash a rooted ROM (CyanogenMod 7.1, after doing a data wipe/factory reset), I get an error message and the installation aborts.
Was able to restore the 2.3.3. OTA because I had backed up, but any ideas?

I am no expert but I would start over from scrach. Rinse and Repeat. it sounds like it did not install right.

Are you sure you flashed the CWM for the G2X? If you flashed the wrong recovery all kinds of problems, such as you described, could occur. Good thing you had the backup.

Would you recommend I reflash CWM straight up, or the stock recovery through NVFlash before trying again? I'd assume I should follow all the same steps as if I was trying to flash CWM, but instead of clicking on CWM, click stock recovery instead.

Positive. I downloaded the necessary files and followed all the steps from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

Again I am no expert but that sounds like a good idea i would say you it cant hurt. I think you will have to reflash cwm but you have to do that anyway so I would say it is the best way to start clean.

Got CWM Recovery to work. It still shows the green ANDROID with the icons, but I no longer have to struggle to keep it from shutting off. I was able to flash xboarder's tweaked Gingerbread ROM, but still unable to flash CyanogenMod 7.1. I did a factory/wipe data, wiped cache, and dalvik cache. Still get an error message upon trying to install.

when i first did the nvflash my phone was getting shut off when it got to the recovery and then i let go of the power button. Until i realized that you are supposed to let go of the power/volume button when the word android appears and all those icons u mentioned, yeah i get the same screen. i had no problems flashing 3 builds of cm7 and xboarder's rom 2 times.

Not sure what's going on with the CM 7.1RC but I was able to flash the latest EaglesBlood ROM this mornibg and he's really enjoying it so far. Thanks for all the help!

The green android with the icons is just a different splash screen in the newer version of cwm.

Could've been a bad download. Sometimes you just gotta download the file again and it'll flash no issues.
But I'd go for the latest CM7 nightly. They are leaps and bounds ahead of where they were with RC1.

I figured that might be the problem. Eaglesbood seems to be working really well for him, so I think he'll just stick with that. My bro is more of the "If it isn't broken, don't fix it" type, whereas I'm more inclined to try the latest. I'm tempted to try the nightlies myself on my Glacier, if they really are better than RC1.

Need help with my sidekick 4g, crazy story.

Well, let me start from the beginning. I am sorta of new to the whole android modification arena, and the sidekick 4g is my first android phone, but I have learned a lot since june and so it's not like I don't know most of my way around the low level software hacking and such. I was there when clockworkmod was released, and I was there when smooth maximus was first published, I know what is going on, and what is in recent sidekick 4g hacking news. That aside, I rooted my phone around june 10th ish, and it was fine. Then I installed clockworkmo, and with a few forum reading I managed to fix all the litte mistakes I made and everything was fine again. Then I decided to flash smooth maximus gingerclone v1 after become more comforable with the whole idea(skipped over the first couple of smooth maximus ROMs). And part of tmobile android is having an app called tmobile contacts backup. EXTREMELY helpful for a person like me, I hate having to put contacts back in, and syncing from gmail didn't solve my problems either, it just wasn't the same . So I could freely download this app from the market wenever I pleased, with no trouble. Getting it back on my phone after flashing gingerclone v1 was no hassle. Then a few days ago gingerclone v2 came out. I followed the same procedures as before, but fell into a bit of trouble when flashing gingerclone v2, ad gingerclone v1 would keep booting up anyway. But I eventually got it working by just kept following instructions again and again. And before I flashed, I backed up a few apps with titanium(great app)(and made a NANDroid backup of course) but I didn't back up tmobile contacts backup because I thought I could just download it from the market(forshadowing). So I got gingerclone v2, and I tried downloading tmobile contacts backup and it was gone from the market. Just plain disappeared. And I looked on other websites, some no link, some saying it had been removed. Then I got the the online market on my computer, and google said that the app was not compatible with my sidekick 4g, not when it had stock ROM, or when it had custom ROM. I was confused. So I did what the poster of smooth maximus said to do if we wanted to keep our apps when we flashed over. In recovery, go to backup\restore>advanced restore> restore data. And all my apps were there(not functioning, but a simple reinstall would fix the problem. But I couldn't reinstall tmobile contacts backup because I couldn't find it anywhere to download. So I decided to restore my entire nandroid backup and I had gingerclone v1 again, but a lott more app were gone(including market, etc.) And I was used to this happening(didn't know if that was a good thing though) and so I couldn't download titanium backup to back up tmobile contacts backup and try gingerclone v2 again. So I decided to ODIN to stock ROM. Seemed easy enough, I had already lost everything, why not try it?(forshadowing). I followed ayoteddy's guide exactly step by step, and when I did ODIN, it got to the last section, and then said FAILED(on the computer) in the box as it turned red. I tried it again and it wouldn't do anything so I figured all I could do it just try and boot up the phone. I did, and it showed the sidekick bootloader but with the android logo flickering along with it. It booted and did all the female robot voices(patitioning...estimated time: 2 minutes, etc.) And then it booted just fine. It really started to mess up this morning, freezing rampantly and going back to a black screen with the android logo and light shining across it(like the windows 7 loading bar) and about an hour later all of a sudden it stopped messing up, everything was quick and jumpy and fast(for a stock rom, it was as fast as smooth maximus gingerclone, and I got a quadrant score of around 1500!, weird I thought so) I double checked to make sure it was stock rom and it was. So I decided to try to root it, and superoneclick rooted it, and always got stuck at putting su in system\xbin, it never got past that part. So I had to leave it at that. I want to ODIN again and try to make it work, but I have no way of getting to "download" mode and doing it. Not through the software, and I tried the volume +, trackball, power combo and it has never worked(trust me, I've tried). So I was hoping maybe you guys can tell me I'm doing something wrong, I'd really like to hear that right now. How do I get to "download" mode without rooting? Maybe take me step by step to do it the hardware way. I might even just root it through adb and make sure everything goes right? Any suggestions would be nice. Thanks in advance everyone for your help!

Wow.. you went through alot for that Tmobile backups app. but i have it posted in my TouchMIUIwiz ROM thread . Heres the link Tmobile Backup
And heres how you get into download mode. Just remove your battery, open odin and load the pit into the pit slot and the tar into pda, then plug your phone in without the battery. Now this part is a bit awkward but it works 100% , while holding the vol down and trackpad put the battery in. you must put it in while holding that button combo and you will get into download mode
and BTW it was running so fast on stock cause the lagfix was enabled (thats what that voice was doing)

Oh gosh thank you! I need to look more often. I really appreciate your help ayoteddy. After i follow those directions I should know how to handle the rest! On a sidenote, I am a HUGE fan of your work, without people like you and all the other developers who give each android phone a fair chance to flourish(especially the good ones), android would be...not as good as it is now. Once again I'd like to thank you for your help and I hope everything goes fine!

so, I've done download mode and tried ODIN. I get the same fail message. I will continue but I would like to know if this will cause any problems in the future...

Update Gone Wrong

Hello - I tried to update my phone from Infuse v2.2.3 to Th3Bill JB 3.3.2 and got in an endless loop. I then tried to go into recovery mode and do a restore. Checked the MD5, Erased boot and then started restoring boot image and thats where she has been sitting for some time. I will pull batter and attempt again however I may be hosed. Any help greatly appreciated.

It is not possible, that I am aware of, to go from Froyo straight to JB. You will also not be able to restore a backup at this point due to changes made on the phone in the borked attempt. You should be able to wipe data, cache, and dalvik, and after a couple of attempts re- install a Froyo rom from scratch. If you can't do that, do this.

Thanks to qkster and Entropy for this.

I had that issue as well. Only cause I like to see if I can be done. But no. What I do is go back to stock and rooted then flash a ICS ROM then make sure it boots. Then go wipe all stuff in cwm and flash jelly
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app

Hey Pony, I was on the custom ROM Infuse v2.2.3 and not stock Froyo. I ended up doing the gtg ultimate unbrick to bring it back to stock and then did the full back to Infuse v2.2.3 and then did a nandroid restore. Everything looks good but it is acting a bit weird. Like I will try to open my applications or folders it sometimes hangs. I consistantly get it to free up by locking the phone and then unlocking it. Weird huh? Anyway I would be interested in trying to upgrade to JB but would like more instruction on that. Thanks for responding and if you can recommend anything that might help Im all ears.

See the post below - if you need more specific instructions let me know.
Thanks rkkaranrk.

Use Odin or heimdll to get stock GB Tom and then from there u can flash any rom u like just follow the instructions in the OP. You can go directly from GB to ICS but for JB u have to flash any ICS rom first and then JB.
Read the instructions on every thread.
