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...2ยข

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!

This is something with mrhome. I will add to my op post about it. I didn't know that Livewallpaper work with the transitions.
I had it working and had Trigger 0.4 ROM Flashed on it and it was working ok but then Bionix Black Ice came and I couldnt help but want to flash it. I had everything correct and checked my mounts and so on in CWM so I flashed it but then when it came to reboot "Linda" said something about system not found and it was stuck on the Galaxy S 4G start up screen. I did a ODIN install of a stock+root ROM and I've been trying to get CWM back onto my phone so I can get Trigger back but nothing works. Keeps saying failed verifacation. Ive read everything and still can find a solution!!
Who can help!!
(and yes I made sure that in root explorer it was monuted R/W and I overwritten the recovery file over and over again and still nothing.)
Nevermind I was smart enough to figure it out on my own. Turns out that if your root explorer is outdated then it wont work at all. Simple fix just took awhile to figure that out. Oh well. Onward.

And just everyone knows i still cant get Black Ice ROM to install even with all the instructions to do so. "Linda" still says system unavailable and will stay on the Galaxy S 4G start screen and will not go into recovery after so i have to ODIN back to stock and start all over.
I guess ill just stick with Trigger for now.

for that follow the instructions seems that some of the kd 1 have a dirty system partiton put the bali 2.1 on the root of your sd card once u install black ice go and install the 2.1 kernel then reboot let black ice load up do its thing then reboot to cwm and install 3.1
First yoy need to find these files and then flash in this exact order you need ext4 converter,black ice kd1 without voodoo,bali 3.1 uv then you wanna flash them in this order assuming you already know how to get to CWM already. Make sure you put these on root of sdcard not in any folders. Check your mounts
Cache/unmount
Data/mount
Sdcard/mount
Systen/unmount
1. Flash ext4 converter
2. Flash black ice kd1
3. Flash voodoo
4. You shiul be red cwm go ti advanced and Restart recovery
5. Disable voodoo
6. Reboot
And linda will let handle the rest will take abiut 5 mins to load to team whiskey loge and a few more minutes after that ket phone sit fir about 10 mins to settle in and vuala you running one if the fastest stock roms out there i mean superfast hit me uo if you have any problems worse case you will have to odin back to stock i know it took me sometime to almost gave it up and hit the thanjs button if its there.

I seem to be stuck in a loop after flashing Serendipity VII Infuse.
My infuse is at the home screen showing the clock, unlock slider and volume slider. Screens says (no Service). Top of screen is running a media scanner.
As soon as it finishes scanning the media, the screen goes blank, shows the Serendipity boot screen w/progress bar, then back to the home screen with the two sliders.
It does not reboot all the way to when it says Samsung.
I've reset and cleared the cache in the red cmw.
Any ideas?
same thing here.
You wouldn't happen to have a SIM password?
mine worked fine for a few hours. Then I rebooted.

not to hijack this thread, but if i'm coming from froyo, do i need to delete my recovery file before flashing your rom?
mine began after I installed a themed battery pack. sys wipe and re-install and all is well.
Car Dock Issues
So I flashed Serendipity VII yesterday from Infused V1, and let me start by saying it's awesome.
I am having an issue with the car dock, though. It actually worked fine the first time I used it, but now the sound won't redirect to the dock. It's not a huge deal because I can just plug the cable in directly to the headphone jack, but one of the great things about the car dock was that I didn't have to deal with the wires. Anyone have any ideas?
Where do we download it from? I see it in dev section but no links or instructions.

Go to http://serendipityinfuse.weebly.com/ and click download at the top. Took me some time to figure it out too.
I am currently running Infused 1.6 with the Infusion 2.0 Core A kernel. I would like to move to the GB release of Serendipity VII, do I have to go back to stock or can I just flash the download through red CWM from the serendipityinfuse website over my current build and do a full wipe?
Will the download also include the kernel it needs to run?
I'm have seen some mixed information on the actual process for installation coming from custom roms and kernels. This is the first time I am going to be updating to GB.

Backup your apps with TiBu, download Serendipity VII to sdcard, go to Red CWM, Full wipe, flash Serendipity VII, reboot, restore your apps only (NO SYSTEM DATA), Enjoy!
It really is an awesome ROM! I flashed it yesterday and love it!

Don't feel like an idiot, we're all learning over here in Q&A.
Turn the phone off and then hold the VOL + and - keys and the power key at the same time for about 10 seconds then release.
If you are not getting Red CWM then it may be because you do not have Voodoo Lagfix installed. Is your phone stock, have you ever installed any other ROMs? Mine started giving me red CWM after I installed the Infused 1.6 ROM.
Hopefully we can get some more advanced users in here to lend a hand, I would like to learn more about this process also.
im in here let me know whatcha need !
i used to have infused 2.1....or 2. something and i wanted serendipity. so i tried to install and nothing would happen. so i went back to stock and all kind of problems started. but im gonna give this a shot
---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------
ok i held the keys and it sent me to a blue screen. if i press reinstall packages it then sends me to the green cwm screen. could someone let me know whats going on lol
i went back to stock using the unbrick method and now i cant download anything from the market. i hit install and the download bar pops up for a second and then dissappears. cant even install apps that i had before
does anyone know if you can restore all missing apps and data with serendipity. i somehow got it to flash and was jw. thanks
Hello All,
I am a new SGS4g user and have had the phone for about a month now. I've been looking into flashing, and have looked over a large number of forum posts and such to help guide me through what seems to be a difficult process. the guide i've been most looking into was this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122508
I'm trying to flash the ICBINB ROM onto my phone due to all the good things I've read about this particular rom.
I finally decided that I would do it today, but when I went to wipe the data in Clockwork orange, the process got stuck at a file named Android.Secure. The post above mentioned something about this, but I wasnt too sure how to avoid it. I ended up restarting the phone, finding that it had gone to stock, ran the clockwork restore and found that in the restoration it also got stuck on this same file. After several minutes of freaking out and panicking, I did another force restart and found that thankfully my phone is back to where it was.
So I was wondering if anyone could guide me to another post, or help me to find a solution to this problem. And, if you could also help me find a more detailed guide because now I'm scared to do anything to the phone at this point without further info.
Thanks for any and all help!
Did you try just following the instructions in the post for ICBINB?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1157593
The link you posted is to the NOOB's guide, which is cool, but it specifically mentioned ROM Manager. Did you install that or anything?
It's hard to say without a bit more information as to what you were doing, what step you were on, what other changes you may have made to the phone first. Can you provide some details?
Thanks for the response stephen,
Well what I had done up to that point was just create a recovery on ROM manager. Then I booted into clockwork and began the wipe of data, as the steps in the ICBINB steps said. It was here that it got stuck.
I have an update though. I tried again flashing this time through Rom Manager. When I did it, the Rom manager did its stuff and then began a reboot, where the phone got stuck on the opening screen (where it says galaxy s 4g and has the S logo). I shut it down, and tried to restart it and when I did, a voice started says `convert system partition, system not available`` and would get stuck. I pluged into odin and selected-repartition. Now, if I reboot I go into a red Voodoo lagfix recovery v. 3.0.2. Now as far as I know, I never put in a lagfix, so I have never seen this screen before. When I select the reboot option, it just gets stuck again and the voice says the previous statment once more. So what do I do from here?
From what I've read on this forum ROM Manager doesn't seem to work well with our phone. I can't speak from any experience with it, though.
The voice you heard is Linda. That's the voice you hear when voodoo lagfix is converting your partitions from the rfs filesystem to the ext4 filesystem. It sounds like something got hosed in the process of what you were doing.
Boot into voodoo recovery, disable voodoo across the board to be safe, and see if the phone boots. If not, try following my directions above to get on a stable GB ROM.
If you're able to ODIN the ROM & boot, then you can use the phone & flash other ROMs and whatnot.
If you're able to ODIN the ROM but it gets stuck in a loop or has an error, more than likely the voodoo is still enabled and this ROM can't use ext4. You would then need to ODIN one of drhonk's kernels (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032). Use the KG4 one. It comes with CWM Red, voodoo, and root.
Once you flash it you should be able to utilize the voodoo menu in CWM to enable or disable voodoo.
OKAY now I think I effed up royally.
I followed the steps, but then I tried to upgrade to ICBINB GB and now clockwork wont start. The samsung galaxy s4g logo will pop up, then it will go away. Occasionally I will get a full pixelated screen. Is there any recovery from this?!!!??
and it keeps cycling through this over and over again
If u can get to download mode ur fine...get one of the Odin leaks fo gb...put file in pda..flash...then get kj1 Drhonk kernel with voodoo...follow directions to do that...flash...should hear Linda...then, any ROM u choose to flash I'd put it directly on to ur sd...do NOT get ROM manager for anything instead goto market and get qick boot..once u do that...may the phone be with u. I'm nowhere near an expert but this saved my phones more than once.

UPDATE
I have done something (not too sure what) and have been able to get into the main phone, however I am unable to get into Clockwork because whenever I do it is just Pixelatios. I keep seeing pixelations randomly at startup. It looks like I have the ICBINB theme and stuff, but I kinda want to go back and undo this and go to my saved backup. Any advice?
I've had absolutely no luck upgrading from KD1 to offiical GB.
I started off with the official KD1 (from Kies) that I have been running for months.
The only mods are root and CWM.Kies downloads the GB update (taking several minutes) then immediately comes up with the screen saying my phone could not be updated. It leaves the phone in download mode.
If I reboot I'm back to where I was.
Taking a suggestion in another thread, I cleared data and cache, and tried again.
Same result.
Taking another suggestion, I Odin'd another KD1 on top of my original. Same result.
Taking another suggestion, I Odin'd a KC1 on top hoping that Kies would upgrade me to official KD1 or GB. However, Kies took one look and said there was no upgrade.
I've Odin'd back to KD1, so after a lot of work I'm back to where I started.
Any ideas?

First you would need gingerbread bootloaders if you have them then flash away, if not you will need to odin kg4 for the bootloaders then drhonks kernel for root then flash kj6 from cwm.

I probably will, but I also would like to find out why I can't Kies the stock GB Rom. Obviously Kies doesn't like something it sees on the phone.
There is another issue I'm fighting at the same time. Until now I didn't have a data plan and just used wifi for data. I just got a data plan and haven't been able to get the phone to use it (just voice/text). I want to put the phone into a completely stock condition to try and eliminate variables, and possibly get T-mobile to help. I also feel that what ever Kies doesn't like might be a factor with the cell data issue.
Kies is potentially bad news for your phone if you've been on a custom ROM. If it doesn't work smoothly on the first try don't try and force it. What inevitably happens is that in a sudden rush to get it to work you start flashing one ROM after another (something you wouldn't normally do) and end up issues. There have been a bunch of posts about losing recovery and download modes as people start trying to flash back to froyo from GB. A buddy of mine just jacked his phone up so bad doing this...no recovery, no download, couldn't get it to adb boot on his Linux box. I finally got it into download mode with an adb/odin circus trick, hail Mary, and odined ravers hawk.zip to clean everything up. There is no way i want to go through that again, and there is no real logic in the way we fixed it, but it all started with a bad flash from kies. To any one reading this, USE THE CWM FLASHABLE THAT RAVER MADE IN THE DEV FORUM, take advantage of their knowledge and hard work and save yourself (and your sgs4g) some heartache.

I would use ODIN to reinstall Dr Honks KJ1. it will give you CWM and You should be OK. It might have just been a fluke on install the first time
Still no wifi "f.m.l"!!!
Everything works accept wifi reinstalled kj1 kernel frs, wiped down phone completley even used odin again to reinstall 2.3.6 official from ravers post and nothing ive done everything 2 or 3 times the sameway even tried different usb slot i used odin 1.85 i just dont get it anyone else got this problem
As ignorant as this sounds, I had the same problem once. I rebooted my wireless router & it started working again.
