    Docking station...

    I don't see a sub-forum for accessories so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. Is there a docking station that will seat the Dinc2 with the extended battery and battery cover you get from Verizon?

    Root 2 Q's....one root related, one not

    Just got the Dinc2 and the first thing I did was root it and get MIUI setup on it which leads me to my questions: 1.) On my Dinc, I use to have access to the emmc folder on the internal storage that I used to keep movies I had converted from DVD's to phone format. It saved space on the SD...

    Help Help with ads being pushed to my phone.

    The last few days I have been gettiing a bunch of ads pushed to my phone that show up in the notification bar with a green plus sign. I have not added or updated any apps in the past week. I also ran addon detector and airpush detector and neither app found any airpush apps on my phone. I...

    Root Battery life, how does a ROM affect it...

    Not sure which section to put this in so it will go here for now. I have been using the Evervolv ROM for the past 3 months. Recently I tried out the MIUI 1.8.12 ROM and love it except for the terrible battery life I get with it compared to Evervolv. I have an extended battery and with...

    Root Some ?'s for MIUI users...

    Just flashed two different MIUI versions, 1.3.5 and 1.8.5. There are things about both that I like so I keep bouncing between the two on a day to day basis. Overall I like 1.8.5 better (except for the white text bug on a few apps), but I have terrible transfer rates from my PC to the phone with...

    Root Slow transfer rates with Gingerbread

    Hope this is in the right place. Since updating to a Gingerbread ROM, my transfer rates\time have gone way down when transfering files from my PC to my phone. I tested it on two different Gingerbread ROMs (Evervolv and MIUI) and both have the slow transfer rate. I even tested to see if it...

    Root Trying to make a transparent notification bar

    Hoping someone might have some insight on this one. I'm trying to make the top notification bar semi transparent. I have it just where I want it except for one problem. It's only transparent on the lock screen. Once I unlock the phone, it goes back to being all solid black. Would any of...

    Root THEME: Question about menu button colors...

    Does anyone know what file(s) effect the colors for the Menu button option icons and text (i.e. settings, wallpaper, etc.)? Is it the .png files or is it one of the .xml files or a combination of both?

    Root Velocity 1.1 help (maybe)...

    Just got around to flashing Velocity 1.1 (just couldn't get away from Frunisher because I liked it so much) and the only thing I am having trouble with is that when I press and hold the end call button, I no longer get the options screen for airplane mode, silent mode, reboot, etc. All it does...

    Root Just a quick ? for the ROM guys...

    Have any of you ever tried to get the rotary style lock screen into any of your ROMs? I tried a ROM on my Incredible that had it built in and it was kind of a nice change of pace to the standard look.

    Help Really stupid question...

    When using Sense, how do you turn off vibrate when you put the phone into silent mode? I don't want it to vibrate. I want it to do nothing when an incoming call comes in during silent mode. Also, how do you get it to quit vibrating when an incoming call comes in when you are not in silent...

    Root XML file help...

    I'm still playing around with themes on my Ally and the one thing I want to try next is making the battery icon change with each percentage like I see in many ROMs for the Ally and Incredible. I downloaded a premade XML file that will display the different icons once I make them, but i'm unsure...

    Root Question about the boot animations from Frunisher

    I really like the Droid Eye boot animation that came with Frunisher and would like to try and make it the boot animation on my Incredible. Would anyone know if it is possible to take that boot animation and install it on another phone? Or has it been formatted in some way only to work on the Ally?

    Root Updating roaming with an AOSP ROM

    I am running an AOSP ROM on my Dinc and tonight I decided to update my roaming by typing *228. It dialed fine, but when it asked me to select which option I wanted, I couldn't because there is no dial pad. Am I missing something really obvious here because I can't see any way to type 2 to...

    Root THEME: What is a .pro file

    Looking through some of the stock .apks while playing around with theming some of them and I noticed some of the files are not .png files, but .pro files. What is a .pro file?

    Root THEMEs: Can I do this and if so, how?

    I opened up the mms.apk and edited a few of the icons to better match the overall theme i'm fooling around with. Basically, it's the three notification icons. So now that I have that done, is there a way to install the updated mms.apk file over the stock one and if so, what is the best...

    Root I gotta give credit to anyone who themes

    I've been modifying a theme from an existing ROM (yes the original developer knows and I don't plan on releasing it. If I finish it, I will give it to him as an alternate theme for people to try if he thinks it's worth it) and I gotta say to anyone who takes the time to create a theme from...

    Help Why does my storage info list apps2sd space

    I'm not a fran of apps2sd because of what can happen if you remove your sdcard and an app that is needed (like a launcher) is on that sdcard. So when I got my Dinc, I repartitioned and reformated my sdcard so that nothing would accidentally get push to an apps2sd partition. I wanted to use no...

    Root Question for a themer

    I'm playing around with the framework-res.apk just to see what I can come up with, but the one problem i'm having is with saving the images with an alpha channel. Most of the images in the framework file are 8-bit images. When I want to alter one, I increase the color to 24-bit, edit as needed...

    Root Lithium ROM

    I just flashed the Lithium ROM. So far I like it much better than a Sense based ROM. Guess i'm just boring, but it performs much smoother than the Sense based ones I tried. I do miss a few things like the video recorder, video player, gallery and camera. Does anyone know if these can be forced...

    Root Want to try my first ROM

    I'm not new to flashing ROMs, but I am new to flashing ROMs on the Incredible so I have a few questions. 1.) On some of the ROM directions, they talk about needing a different version of HBOOT. How do I tell which version I have? 2.) When they talk about doing a full wipe, i'm assuming...

    First off, I take no credit for any of this. I had nothing to do with the rooted Froyo update or any of the files\procedures\experties that the devs put into making it possible for all of us to have the Froyo update with root capabilities. I'm just a dummy who couldn't follow directions and went...

    I got an Invisible Shield cover installed at Best Buy. When the guy was installing it, he showed me a little blemish in the bottom of screen so that I didn't blame them for it if I saw it after the fact. I watched him through the whole process and while he tried to wash it off so I know he is...
