and yes...I did search and yes I did find a few things that may help but I was looking for a more definitive answer really haha
so, I just got a samsung galaxy s 2 X (hercules sgh-t989d) I'm with Telus. version 2.3.5 kernel version 2.6.35.11 gingerbread TLKJ3
so...
I love it .. sick phone...really pleased. I did the unheard of and gave it to my now ex girlfriend to 'have a look at'
well...she took a few pics and changed the lock screen image to something I don't want to see...
I simply want the old normal slightly feminine bright pink lock screen back hahaha
I can't see to find out how to do that...
I found this...but I'm not sure if this is the fix or not to be honest.
Can you guys maybe help me out?
Thanks very much...from a guy who dumped his girl cause she hosed his lock screen on his new ill phone hahaha
I fixed it...
after hours of digging around in the os I found under settings/display/screen display (which simply looked like a subject as opposed to something i can click LMAO)
well, under that you can change the home screen or the lock screen and clock position etc there.
thank god, no rom hack or lockscreen apps.

that is windows mobile. not android and has nothing to do with the brand of phone....
Yep...what you see on there is basically widgets that you'd see with Google/Android. That stuff will come eventually. WM has been going for what? 10 years and those types of widgets have only been effectively available for the last 2 or 3 years. I've already got similar stuff using the aHome desktop widgets for weather and time. More will come with time.
I created a GTX boot splash and decided to share it in the ✰✰✰✰ Everything GTX ✰✰✰✰ thread. Since it was made for the HD2 I thought I would reference it here. The direct post is HERE
I will take any requests for boot splash screens GTX style or not if you upload a 480 x 800 image for me I will create the NBH.
take it theres nobody interested in a custom boot splash screen?
I'm fine thanks, but on a completely unrelated question... What was ****e about the k750i? I kinda loved Sony Ericssons back then, and I used that phone a lot. On days when my HD2 annoys me, I sometimes think back to it

It was ok at first like most SEs but then the problems. The d-pad stick became really un responsive, I had to really mash it to get it to select a word while texting. One day the keypad seemed to completely 're-wire' itself as in my phone crashed one day and when I went to type in my PIN code random things like 1 went to the right and 6 deleted backwords in other words it ended up blocking my SIM card. Then after I got my PUK code started working again. Then few weeks later it died completely. Im not having SEs ever again. My wife had a w810i that randomly died. When I learnt about flashing etc I managed t fix her c902 when it randomly lost its entire file structure. Have had t do the same to a friends c902 and again for someones c905. I find they just seem to destroy themselves in general SEs.
By far the best phone (or at least my fondest memories) are of the Nokia 7610. Amazing phone and it had multi tasking which i really missed with the SE. Rant over
Haha thanks for the reply, wow that sounds like a bad build of phone. I found mine (I went through about four of that generation) got battered after about a year but generally held up, and I lovd their music players and cameras, although not much else However they were still my favourite type of phones until the HD/HD2 came out - I'm still not a giant fan of typing on touchscreens, although I think that's down to the HD2's particularly awful out-of-the-box texting client. (I can't stand iPhones, but if I touch one I always open the keyboard and find I can rattle along with no problems)
I'm interested in an alternative boot screen... however haven't a clue what I want as yet lol

I'm not the worlds best with a graphics editor but i will try. i was mainly just going to convert existing images into nbh's. However what are you after? the same as the one i have done without the GTX logo? what colours do you want background and text. if you have an image already post it here and i can convert it.
I had a couple of Nexus...and they are everything they say, that we all know they are
Sure some say hummingbirds are better, 4" is more, but you always have Froyo and you will always have the newer updates
I ask this cause of the probs I am experiencing with the Vibrant in another thread.
Black screens, comes back on, sits still, Launcher locked, then it does the vibrate thing in your hand ten times....Occasionally I have to restart
Is there a cause to this?
Should I do a factory Reset?
Could this be caused by using the Green Taskiller? should I use another? None?
Bottom line: if this is normal with everyone, would I regret going back to the Nexus One . I would have to pay more now from an online store AND I am leary about support
Thanks
Fix is in the galaxy s section
Thanks
I will look for it. I am not here to be spoon fed...
but if I can't find it I'll be back....if that's ok
I was just opening up email on the phone also, took 20 seconds..made me even miss my Blackberry 9700
Will it help with that
Again, thanks.. Heading out now, but will look and if I can't find, I will let you know if you are able to help
ERic
by the way, you were quick...thanks a lot
Hi all,
I have a friend who has a bricked Legend, and I have said that I will attempt to install a updated ROM for her.....
Problem is, although I have done this a few times with MY LG GT540, I have done nothing with HTC.
Could anyone point me in the right direction for a guide to updating the Legend to the latest ROM, including any downloads that I'd need.
Thanks very much,
Mango
I would start with the sticky at the top of THIS page.
Good luck.
Thanks Dirk (Love the name, by the way!)
But looking through that it's very difficult to get a sense of what I'll need to do, and in what order.....
The LG is pretty easy, as you have a KDZ installer......But on that stickie it seems a bit random!
Right....having now got the Legend in front of me, I need to know what to do!
It seems to be having a software glitch on the previous update.....Cannot get in to see which update it was, and my friend has no idea either.
She had sent it back to V'phone, and also HTC to get them to do something, but they keep fobbing her off.
I said I'd have a look, but it really doesn't seem as straight forward as LG!
Are you ever able to boot into a working OS (doesn't sound like it), or does it crash out before loading the desktop?
What sort of errors or faults are we dealing with here basically?
Basically, it starts up.....
It loads up the OS, but from there, it can take anything from 2-5mins to freeze up.
The notifications bar will not pull down, and then, when it does it sticks.
I've said that she probably needs it to be re-installed.....(Hopefully with a newer version).
Vodaphone and HTC have both been useless for her. I woulda thpought HTC would've just flashed it and be done....but no!
So I thought I'd come searching on here! But the sticky doesn't help me that much! I'm from the LG forum, where everything is set out in !idiot guides"!!
I do work in IT, so I am pretty competent, but haven't touched an HTC before!
Thanks for your replies
Right....Done a factory reset, and when the Legend comes on, it is completely unresponsive.
Plus, the screen image shakes from side to side, in a quite violent manner!
It would appear that I can move the screen without even touching it!
Any help is gratefully received!!
Sounds like a hardware issue then. If you were able to factory reset without any improvement at all i'd say that software problems are pretty much ruled out.
If i were you i would have a good rant at Vodafone until they agree to swap the unit with a working model.
Thanks again, Dirk....
I have emailed her to let her know your thoughts!.
Long, dark tea-time awaits
Always a pleasure to speak with a fellow fan
Good luck with the phone. Vodafone have always caved in when i've kicked up a stink about various faults etc so i hope your friend gets a result.
Apparently, she has already been intouch with both HTC and V'phone....and neither are prepared to do anything about it.....
Still worth a screaming match with them???
On an unrelated point..... Did you see Steven Mangan as Dirk? Was disappointed that the book was so thoroughly mashed, but was still entertaining!
I sent my Nexus S to get fixed and when I got it back it was completely different, it was like they left a developers version on it.
I don't want to send it away to fixed again.
I attached some pictures of the software that is on it now (more in the zip), if anyone nows how I could get it back to 2.3.4 like I had before I got it fixed I would be very greatful.
If not than maybe the information could be helpful to someone
sorry if this is in the wrong place but i couldn't find anywhere better to put it
Nesus S GT-I9020A
Model number: Full Android on Crespo
Android version: 2.4
Build number: full_crespo-eng 2.4 GINGERBREAD 142 test-keys
Is this a joke or is this legit?
I would do a nandroid backup and upload it for other Nexus One owners to check out before you wipe ANYTHING.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
i call fake.
Agreed
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
Model number: Full Android on Crespo
Compared to mine;
Model number: HTC Sensation Z710e
(Its a DZ running Virtuous Fusion)
So its a terrible fake.
Oh wait! My phone just update to Android 5.4.9! OMFGBUTTONS!
I can...
I can confirm i have a 2.4 device, looks like its a developer phone or something...my friend is a mobilicity dealer, and fresh out of the box we were greeted by a big red and black wallpaper ...its brand new...from the dealer. how do i extract this firmware? or does someone want it?
*Edit
it seems alot smooter and quicking in comparison to another nexus s we have with 2.3 on it, my friend said he recieved a batch of 10 and only one of them was like this....
Will this wrk on NEXUS S 4G

Your photos look a lot more legitimate than the OPs. I'll forward this link to an ACS member and see what he thinks of it.
I think this is fake. I don't think that 2.4 would have the same kernel version as 2.3, but maybe it is a minor update or something.
If this is real do not try to customize/wipe/reset and keep it as is until you can make a full backup.
u could adb shell into it and get some more information from there.
Could they extract the whole thing using Odin?
It's legit, but it's dead old.
2.3.3 is newer.
in all honesty it feels way smoother...i mean absolutly no lag on the home screen with widgets i know you guys feel a bit of lag on the 2.3.3 home screen...if not your lying lol but ...the launcher feels like its Launcher pro...it doesn't do the reel thing..if you know what i mean...yeah i really want to extract this...we boxed it up and didnt even put a sim in it...let me know what to do guys...
+1 On the wallpaper. Actually no, it's a fail.
1) The phone wouldn't even boot if the OS wasn't installed completely not to mention I've never seen an Android phone throw up the 'warning' like that. It just writes it to the log and reboots, crashes, carries on, or doesn't boot at all.
2) It's an obvious wallpaper because the widget sits in front of it. A warning would pop up in front of every other task if that's what Android did (normally it boot loops or crashes).
3) The phone info screen makes no sense. You can also edit the build.prop file to make the info screen say "your_mom_is_hot 5000.00.543.158" and the kernel could say "pot.head 2.35.420".
4) We've seen this sort of thing before. If you're going to fake it - make sure you don't have a bunch of Android geeks around to call you out.
5) If it's really 2.4 (which may not even be the number for the next version) then tell us, what's new? Oh it's smoother? Great, so is CM7 and MIUI. Smoother doesn't cut it, sorry. New features that we don't have are where it's at and are what proves it to us. So do it....

Please don't base your opinion on one post. I suggested something to help and then had to go to work. Then again, if you're going pose it in a way like you're extorting us or are some picky, middle aged lady at Jcpenney threatening totake her business elsewhere maybe they should help you. A couple people here offered assistance but you're choosing to listen to those who are skeptical. We see a lot of bogus info.
Sent from bat country!
Honestly, it's not worth dumping.
2.4 was GRI05.
If you really must, install ClockworkMod and take a NAND backup.
lol at the jcpenny old lady....
well i'll try to extract it tonight using Odin like you said...i just dont want to muck it up and not have it work anymore...i hope theres more than 1 try.
Google has already announced only version 2.3.5!
So why we are talking about 2.4? It is easy to change you android version in build.prop =)
Hey,
I have exactly the same problem with my nexus s. Not going to bother with photos because people will say they are fake but it looks the same. I took it to get repaired because it was freezing, they didn't repair it but it came back with what I think is a developers/maintenance version of android. It's called 2.4 but it's not a new version. It has lots of developers apps e.g. 'Dev Tools'. It doesn't have Android market though so you can't really access any new apps.
Does anyone know how to get back to 2.3.x so I can just have a normal phone.
I've tried updating to 2.3.x (1, 3 and 4) and it fails every time as it's not really an update. I think I need to do a 'full' install of 2.3.x. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks for your help.
Andy
