[Q] just bought a vibrant. now what can i do with it? - Vibrant General

Hello, I just got my samsung vibrant, and I want to customize it a little bit. I wouldnt mind changing the theme of it. I've got an ipod touch that i jail broke and got this cool blue carbon theme that I really like. I dont wanna pay $10 or$20 for a theme pack, but just looking at my options. How Do I do this? Do I have to root this phone? im not very experienced in hacking other than what ive done with my ipod. I also want to be able to play videos on my vibrant. Someone told me I can use something called double twist, but once again im inexperienced with all of this.
help?

here's a thread just for you:

anyone want to help me?

I have a 8525 and I need some help.
two things, I'd like to get WM6 and keep all the stuff I have put on it. second, I have no clue how to set the WiFi.
Now here is my question;
would anyone in Brooklyn, NY care to help me out and do this for me? I'll bring the beer! Just one catch... I don't have a computer.
I hate to make this my first post, but kinda had to.
pretty please with a cherry on top!
Read HERE. It will help you alot.
Also MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS!!!
You're welcome in Holland........
i've done so much reading...
but to be honest, I need someone to show me in person so I can understand.
But thanks for the links, I have already used the search.
my offer for beer still stands for help, I'm willing to meet up within NYC.
I get it... does anyone want money to help me instead of beer?
or is it a trust issue because of I'm new guy here?
I'm sure if you were a blond with a couple of nice boobs you had 20 offers already. But hey sometimes things aren't always as we want it

Wait a minute - no one mentioned boobs before. I'll fly in from Michigan if you need help... oh wait... damn. Misread that. Oh well.
Actually, you may want to PM austnsync - I think he is an NY guy. He may be available or know someone.
You guys crack me up!
sorry but yes i'm a man, although i'm blonde with a shaved/bald head I don't go that way. If you want some boobies I'll gladly put some pictures up
hopefully there will be someone will see this cry for help and offer some.
As for credentials, check out itrca.com's forums. I'm a mod and member there for a long time.
So beer and money is not attractive enough and I can't find any hood rats for you... What will it take to get some help?
(watched ''40 year old virgin'' last night)
You want someone to go to your house and set your phone up with WM6 and whatever else you may want? What if after they have left, you run into some huge problem? Are you then going to ask for someone else to come help fix it? I don't mean to sound like an ass but the stuff you want done is really easy. If not having a computer is a problem, then surely you must have at least one good friend with a computer who will let you set your phone up. If so, here are 3 links that should help a lot.
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/
^ This link is a "how to" install WM6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=355
^ There are newer and better roms in this link here.
Last but certainly not least.. the holy grail of information about anything you could ever want to do to your phone is here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Basically Yes,
I just got myself a new laptop and now I deffinately need help.
I'd be willing to meet up with anyone who knows how to upgrade my 8525 and get the sync working.
I'm not going to hold anyone responsible for messing up as long as it was unintentional
What I'm looking for is some instructional help, show me what to do and walk away.
I really suck at computer stuff, Really suck!
I have looked through those links and to be honest, it's like a different language
Beer, Coffee, money, whatever is needed to get me some honest help.
Or should I just go to GeekSquad and let them have a shot at this?
So not one person needs some extras cash?

Traded My Vibrant - GOT A GREAT DEAL!

Ok so no flaming cuz im not saying this phone sucks at all.
I love it and had it running 1.6 along with so many 3d games i bought such as avatar, ganstar, and a few others. Also running launcher pro plus and android phone 7 look
Well i was offered $130 + and HD2 and i thought about but i just couldnt give in. Then i was offered a $100 + HD2 + Samsung gravity Touch. It might have been a good deal then but i just love the phone so much, it was like nooo..
So To end it, it was a 2009 Hp Desktop with Wireless keyboard and mouse + HD2 + SAmsung gravity Touch i think its a good deal anyway. and ill just be selling the hd2 and gravity and getting a vibrant again next week!
any comments?
sounds like you know a very stupid person.
Well done.
Now post again when you get your vibrant.

Congrats I mean if you can get a free computer out of the deal and buy another Vibrant why not right?
No, you haters, Definately not a moron or stupid. Computer is fairly Fast and has 2gb of ram as well as a 250GB HDD with the 19inch monitor. To get that plus a touch and an HD2 is more than a good Deal. For i am already getting rid of the Gravity touch tomorrow and selling it to a friend for $150 since he was looking for a phone.... I can easily sell the HD2 for about $300 since both phones are 9 out of 10 condition.
$300+$150=$450 - price to get a vibrant. $380-$450..... At the end i got a free pc after all...
BTW: When someone insults or flames others about something they share, i think others just follow along and hate too because they think it makes them cool or something! - Bet you anything to whoever said admin delete this thread it wont happen... Why?? it was posted in general where i can basically share samsung vibrant related chat.
EDIT --- I guess mods are cleaning up ...
Lol! Its funny how none of your posts In xda are of any help, yet come ***** about stuff. Move on. Picking up fights in forums. Oh geezzzz !
Thread cleaned and guess what...I really don't like having to come clean this stuff up. This is in fact the General Section for the Vibrant...which is defined as follows:
"Discussion about the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant (general chat, tips & tricks, etc)"
If you don't care about this thread DONT POST USELESS COMMENTS and move along... if there is more flaming people will start getting free vacations....now let’s stay on topic and respect each other!
Howd you get 1.6 on it?

Lol, we are not hating on you. We called the person that got your Vibrant stupid. He traded $600+ for something he could've traded his HS2+ some cash.
Anyways, good for you, and don't post threads like this anymore since it has nothing to do with the Vibrant. Good day, and bye.

nahh you missed it there were a bunch of other posts, but hell yeah the OP got a good deal ...
But as the MOD said this forum is General for general chat, tips & tricks, etc, by that ANYTHING that has to do with a Vibrant fits here, including selling one.

Yep, agreed. Even if the OP had traded the Vibrant because he hated it, which he didn't, he said he loved the phone - but even if he traded because he hated what he received in return still stands as a good indicator of the perceived value of the phone by folks who don't own one and want one.
Just last week my cousin offered to trade me 2 iPhone 3G's for my Vibrant. Not a bad deal at all, in terms of overall value.
I dig the Vibrant now that it's rooted and tweaked with a custom ROM, but to be honest if I were able to get 3G speeds with an iPhone running on T-Mobile I most likely would have taken him up on it. As much as I am now liking this phone I'd also be plenty happy with an iPhone as well, not to mention I could have given the second one to my wife and negated the cost of her upcoming upgrade in December. She's a photographer and I'm a designer, we have macs here at home and the iPhone would play well with our setups.
It is what it is man, preferences are preferences. Just because someone wants an iPhone, or doesn't like a Vibrant, that's not some kind of insult. People have their preferences, yet a lot of folks really seem to take the fact some other folks aren;t digging their phone as some sort of personal jab.
OK, end off topic tirade directed at no one in particular.... - what I'm saying is that my cousins offer and the deal the OP just received tells me people want the Samsung GS phones and I have options should I ever want to trade.
Agree 100% with the watcher (not to mention the moderator as well!!) This certainly concerns the Vibrant and fits just fine in general.
Awesome !!!
Nice to know there are still suckers out there and those who will help them prove their mental midgetry
Ok...if you don't like the phone nobody blames you. But would you please explain to all of us why you are posting here. This topic is not going to help nobody in the forum... If everyone start sharing what a good deal they got out of their phones the whole forum will make nonsense. And it will be hard to find helpfull things.. I hope you all understand what I'm standing for....

Did you just ignore what the Mod said ?????
I am not sure what you are standing for but sure is not this community ....
EDIT:
May sound like I am insulting you but I am not trying to , I am just trying to explain , IMHO, the "General" Vibrant forum really is for anything concerning a Vibrant, chat, tips & tricks, etc, by its definition, and this thread would qualify as chat.

He said that he loved the phone and that he was getting another one! Stop trolling and read the first post before you jump in and start trying to criticize people.

Hey Thanks to all of you who supported me and backed me up, But honestly the only thing that truly pissed me off was the fact that ive been around xda for quite some time now, being part of all android forums relating to GSM Devices starting from the g1, so i truly know whats right and wrong, and where things go of course....
Over time i have helped a great number of users, specially the mytouch slide by giving them my gmail to gtalk and help with rooting as it wasnt an easy process... and i decide to ONE time write in the general thread and share my story and all of sudden users with a POST count of Under 10 or 20 start Flaming. No offense to others who have a low post count, just to the ones who were rude and thought they were right...
Anyway this is my last post as i dont want to keep bumping this thread as the thread has been read and seen by others and i have had the comments and opinions i asked for... Once again thanks to you guys and the mods who helped clean up the mess))))

[Q]Typophone 4 slider mod for widgetlocker anyone?

can someone teach me how to do this? i know someone can do and give it to me, but i'll be detected as pirates by teslacoil with 3 seconds delay. I purchased widgetlocker, and now i just wanted to make it like this
http://angelman8.deviantart.com/art/Typophone-4-175481865
i know its possible using widgetlocker. just that i dont know how to do it~~
anyone wanna help can PM me for receipt if you dont trust me.
i have the sidget, now the slider~~
For the widgetlocker mod, ask ultralinx at his website for instructions.
For the widget, search his posts for a screenshot with it and it'll take you to a xda thread with it
Sent from my HTC Desire
i got the widget. but for the mod, is he the only one that can do it?
Here is a the Android version of it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802061
yup i got it already. been using it for a week. now i want the slider~~
I doubt he's the only who who can/has modded it, but he's done one very similar to what you want. He can probably provide you with the .pngs you need and tell you exactly how to do it.
Worth a try.
Sent from my HTC Desire
He's already made the images.
I think he charges for them, though. IDK.
he charges for it, thats why i'm asking it here. cuz so many designers and devs, how come cannot do. I would sincerely donate if a person didnt ask for it. thats for sure.
well if no one is doing it i have no choice but to pay him then cuz i really want this!

[q] evo4g rookie

hey guys, im new to this website thanks to a good friend of mine (he doesnt have an xda account but he has knowledge of it). I'm basically interested in XDA because i wanted more to do with my phone (EVO4G) and i have heard the best source of help would be XDA. i've had the phone since its release date and havent done much with it since i've gotten it. Now im convinced to "root" it and see how fun it is. i'm having trouble doing anything i've seen on youtube and i dont want to do anything stupid to damage it, but i'd love to know everything on rooting and the likes of it...anyone willing to help a brother out? LOL

You want to start on the unrevoke website,than download the software and hboot drivers,you need them to root your phone,without them it will not work.

Yeah man I'll help you out... Rooted my evo before I even made a phone call... You're going to be amazed at how much better your phone is rooted/customized...
The best advice I can give you is to READ... try the stuff out, if you have issues or questions, like dan330 said, search first cuz more than likely whatever you run into has already been figured out. I've been here a long time so I know what will get you help from the people that know what they are doing.

I remember reading a forum whare someone said they had honeycomb or gingerbread for a certain phone just flash it with that .zip and you have it. Two responses later (Thanks for the Brick)
Look, i hear what you guys are saying about not doing your homework before asking a question but that thread is huge and I really don't understand a lot of it to be honest with you so I figured I would ask.. A friend of mine actually did the dexter rom on my a7 and i wasn't there when he did it. He was going to walk me through it before he went back to Afghanistan but we never got a chance to so here i am.
I am trying to read as much as i can so I don't have to ask you all. But for now I am a noob so you can get on me all you want but i am sure this isn't the last time i will ask a dumb question about something that was discussed somewhere else so please have some patients with me and the rest of the non-enlightened folk...
the A7 was very disappointing out of the box... i just want a better functioning tablet... same as you all.. and i am happy with it now.. I just need to figure out how to do the patch. I wouldn't suppose there a "for dummies" version of how to do this anywhere is there?
try out some video streaming sites thru the skyfire browser. if you cant find it on the market i could post a link for you.

Yes, there are some know it all butt heads in this forum that leave yo guessing and having to ask again. Ignore those idiots-some of us do care.

You can always PM people that you see that are frequent posting, because when you ask a question about something that has been covered it drowns the important information, then we have other be lost, but me and others here would be glad to help, seeing as the community has started to grow
