[Q] request for some live support while tampering. - HTC One S

Hey,
If anyone with good experience in unlock, root, flash etc would be willing to support me live some day while I root flash rom etc. Would be great. Probably nothing too much, I sort of know what to do but just as the feel of a safety net in hangouts. Any volunteers just PM me

Just post here if you need any help. So other users will benefit from the answers you will get. Just rememer to search before asking, because people here become nervous if you make questions that have already been answered a thousand times!

Heh, thanks for your reply. Already finished all.
Wasn't tricky at all. Running liquidsmooth rom.
Just for future rooters : it's not that hard and scary as it looks.

"Fancy" looking notification bars

I'm a noob (very). I am seeing alot of screenshots where people have really nice looking notification bars. I especially like the ones with the blue colored wifi, signal status and battery icons.
Are those from phones with custom roms? Can I get a theme from the market that will do that for me?
I am fully rooted but very new and feel I'm not ready to flash "stuff" yet...I paid $500 for our phone. I'm studying hard thought.
If anyone knows where I can download and an app that can make my notification bar look fancy I would greatly appreciate any info or links.
Thank you

What version of android are you running? 2.2?
Edit: Also what kind of phone do you have?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Not an app. A theme that you have to flash. Make sure its compatible with your current rom
Typed by Z using the Gingerbread keyboard.
I'm stock 2.2 froyo. Rooted. Bloat free. Fota fixed. Thats all. Very new but eager to learn

Thank you for your replies. I couldn't find anything on the market. The people in these forums seen to know where everything is.
I was hoping someone would attach a download. Lol. I'm not lazy just cautious. I don't want to find out things the expressive way.
Atleast this is helping me build up my ten posts so when I need serious help I'll be able to ask.

Well to the best of my knowledge you can't really tinker with your status bar until you have a custom rom and for the most options preferrably one based off of a Gingerbread (2.3 +) build. If you are already rooted then flashing roms is really safe. Do you have Clockwork Mod Recovery?

Hahaha. No I wouldn't consider it trolling lol. Trolling would be if someone came into your thread and started talking crap like "Why don't you use the search function noob!" Instead of trying to help you out. I mean I really hope I'm not trolling you I'm sincerely trying to help you out cuz at one point we were all new at this

@pagan HTC Vision. I only asked if you were trolling my forum because after I posted "I'm stock 2.2 froyo. Rooted. Bloat free. Fota fixed. Thats all. Very eager to learn"
You asked me if I have ClockworkMod Recovery. I'm stock how can I have CWM?...maybe you didn't read before you replied. It happens...you also said flashing roms is really safe. So a noob (very) like can flash easily?
Its all good. Lol..
I spend most of my free time racing (at the helm) sailboats. J22's (with spinnaker) mainly.
However I'm a diletante who has recently discovered modifying android phones. I am intrigued. I Want to show people what people are doing. Their genius.. and show off MY phone. I want to be able to do a what you all are doing...
You have gingerbread 2.3 is that custom? Or can I buy it stock?
Thanks for your replies. For real.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Just because you're still running the stock rom doesn't preclude you from having clockwork mod recovery, when you rooted an app called "Superuser" should have been installed on your device. Also you may have an app called "Rom Manager" installed as well, if you don't have that one it's free in the market (and I highly suggest getting it, it is very necessary). Check to see if you have the rom manager app and let me know, if you don't, then download it from market and post back. I'll help you get clockwork mod recovery up and running, then we'll get you a basic understanding of all its functions. After that you can back up your device and get you a custom rom installed.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
@Jerry D - It looks like you have the Galaxy S 4G. If that is the phone you have, Clockwork is not quite ready for our phones. We do not have any custom rom's available at this time. So there is no way to change your notification bar.
@golmar88. Thanks for your reply. I have been reading or forum multiple times a day for a couple of weeks now and definitely up to date on our progress.
I'm that noob who is going to study and wait for something I can handle....
I saw rom manager on the market and thought wow this will be cool. I'll root and I'll have a "rom of the day". Lol.
I didn't know the work involved or the risk. After reading what is going on here I'm "hooked". I love learning new things and can't wait until I know a fraction of what some people on here know. I can't wait to flash my first rom.
Thanks again for all your help!
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
I know right?! As you can see, I'm a junkie (and I don't know anything either). I'm on here pretty much all day everyday, and we don't even really have any development to speak of.
Hopefully we'll get some stuff before too long.

Planning to root my transformer...any suggestions.

Well i just got this bad boy yesterday. Hardly able to put it down when I'm at home already.
Haven't gotten round to root yet. This weekend be the big event...lol.
So im hoping you guys can give me a few ideas as to the best roms and features available.
What rom do you guys use? Any favorites? And why? Too many questions I know.
Thanks in advance.

Still. If anyone can recommend any good mods or roms or themes etc it would be appreciated.

Check your serial number, if it's >B70 then it's not rootable. Yes they are working on it but it's been almost 2 months and nothing. Appears to be locked down in hardware and thus not by-passible via the usual tricks of the past. Most likely it's because of DRM if I had to guess.
If your serial is B70xxxxx check it anyway, some of the B70's may be rootable if they still have the older SBKv1 ROM (or whatever it is).
Mine's going back (B80 serial) - it's a dead duck.
I suggest you return it and get something else so you wont clog the forum with the same stupid questions that have been asked hundreds of times.

spoon feeding gets old after the 99th "GIB INFO PLOX" thread
Right...i just checked the serial number and it looks like I'm safe. Phew!
It says B50. So i can get on with my tinkering afterall. Thank God for that.
Would have been a bit silly to turn up again at best buy for the second time within the space of 3 days to return another tablet...lol.
Thanks for the comments you guys...very informative. Except for the troll that is.

Guys thanks a bunch!
The other two guys, take a long walk down a short pier. This happens to be a Q&A forum...so technically I'm in the right. Had I posted this in say...the DEV forum I could see a little animosity. However being in the q&a forum all I see are a couple of trolls. This isn't my first rodeo, it just happens to be my first HTC.
You guys are the reason people don't want to root, god forbid they be looking for a little support from a community that does nothing but hack android software and their specific phones no less.
Let the mod take this thread out. I've gotten the information I was looking for no thanks to the trolls.

While you're absolutely correct in posting this thread in the correct forum, literally everything you have asked for has been covered in numerous threads before. I'll apologize for everyone for why we get a little up front with threads like these since we see at least 2 every week. I'm glad this isn't new to you, but before you get angry please look at the rules you agreed to when you signed up for XDA. This is a dev. site first and foremost and some leg work is expected on your part. Searching is something you agreed to do before posting a new thread and if you did so you would have found every answer you needed.
Bacon, you can become the official XDA librarian. Users can request features and you will sift through the books (roms) and send them what they want!

That's because the questions of recommending phones or kernels or even ROMs are not allowed in xda. Sorry Mate!

What Arnau said plus many times people don't want to look stupid on forums with as much brainpower and expertise as on the XDA forum. Some of the most brilliant people hang out here and obviously if you don't know what you're talking about, to try and bluff your way through may work on some forums, but not here.
As you visit more often, look for some of the gurus, follow their threads, Thank Them and if they help you, contribute. That might really help you get the answers you need. Good luck.
XDA is not a support site, it is a site for and about developers and development, soooo, I suggest, if you are in fact looking for support, use search here, or go elsewhere.
Meanwhile, development still occurs here at XDA.
Thread closed.

Any roms working on vzw SCH-i705+

There was one early on by Mr Hyde which I installed and have been using ever since. That was discontinued about a year ago though. Was just wondering if there's been any development since.
See...there's hardly any way to get answers here,,, I mean thank God for the geniuses touching down to earth ever so often with there brilliant work but then they flutter back into their bong smoke filled dens to game on or whatever other strange itch they're wanting to scratch at that particular moment...lol. but answers for the old folks....hehehe not a chance!

C'mon man, don't be a troll. There are very few owners/users of your particular tab. Which is why there is little development for it. Have you seen Shakatus contributions to the community of P51xx.Take a look for yourself, and then try spouting off. If he, or any other, of the great devs around here actually had one of your models, maybe they may be able to figure something out. But, he doesn't. So he wont. Unless of course you want to send him yours to try, but I can guess the answer to that. Bashing people around here for problems that you are having (or unwilling to do anything about, except lean on others ie: learn something for yourself) is unacceptable and will be reported. No trolls allowed......next!
I wasn't trying to be crass....I will be happy to donate or whatever in order to advance the work on this model....but there's no current anything for this device.....I've ran down every link and thread trying to find anything useful to break VZW's hold on this device, so it's not a matter of not researching or being lazy....my apologies.
