I am beginning to wonder if it is the EC10 kernel source.. I am not overly concerned about it.. it may be one of those side effects of a custom kernel and/or a source originally destined for the mesmerize...

Yah but now it will soon be the past!!!!! Hopefully we get some great undervolted NV kernels out there now that get great battery life!! I would be so happy!

Yes you do not have to change anything other then Odin the EC01 Modem...

You are correct - Download the modem to your computer..

Make certain the follow the directions for flashing in Odin.

You will be able to boot and go on from there..

I wanna try out CM6 on my phone. I'm running on ec01 right now, if i flashed CM6 and the compatible kernal could i just flash ec01 debloated and a touchwiz kernal to get back?

I am not familiar with Cyanogen Mod builds - I just know that you have to have a compatible AOSP kernel on board at the same time or you will not boot.. I could only imagine that based on that you will have to install your kernel and ROM in the same flash session. - The same may be required for return to the TWhiz ROM.. but I am only guessing.

There is also a prerequisite GAPPS package that you have to install as well..

I would imagine that the process is detailed more thoroughly in the entire thread located here.

Sorry I could not be of more help -

Changing ICons from theme to them

Just flashed NitroDark 4.1 and am really enjoying it.

However, I don't like the honeycomb Music, Clock, Email Icons included. Is there any simple way to change/switch these icons to the icons included in 2.9.2?

I read the one post about moving the .png files and decompiling and recompiling the themes but this is beyond my knowledge.

I have also tried to just copy and paste by locating the icon .png in the respective places in astro, however, I was unable to delete the .png for the honeycomb icon, and was unable to paste the .png file from 2.9.2.

Thanks in advance.

Gets a bit more complicated when dealing with themes.... There really is no simple way to just change one or two icons in a theme.. it is a package deal and it does require the theme be disassembled (decompiled) - changed - then reassembled (complied)... then flashed to the phone..

Thanks Jae. What is involved in decompiling? do you have any resources/thread about that?

As a matter of fact I have a link to a very good resource in the XDA forum.. There is a TON of information here but you can find what you are looking for... it will take some time.

I just tried it out, I booted into CM6 with no problem, played around with it.

Then when i flashed EC01 debloated and comavolt kernel, I booted into a wave of FC. I rebooted my phone and the same thing happened.

Then i just flashed EB01 stock and did the whole process with odin to get back to EC01.

As of now I'm staying away from Cyanogen Mod

When you flashed the TouchWhiz based ROM (EB01 debloated) on top of the AOSP ROM (CM6) there are artifacts left behind that the debloated ROM will not replace that is why you got the FC loop..

The debloaded ROM is designed to be flashed over a TouchWhiz ROM... did not like the AOSP flavor.

Glad you got it figured and resolved..

If i would have tried to flash adrynalines EC01 with touchwiz kernel, reboot, then flash debloated EC01 would it have worked?

No. (corrected in Edit) - it was not the kernel it was the ROM.. The EC01 debloated ROM requires a an established TouchWhiz ROM to reside upon to be effective.. you would have to flash either SC2.9.2 or the EC01 Stock ROM to get the proper base.

Edit: After re-reading your post with fresher eyes.. the answer is 'Yes'.. it would have worked fine..

I appologize for the first answer... I really have to get out more.

Well i gave that a try, now my brains are laying on the carpet.. the $1 fascinate is still working though..

With some more tinkering I have isolated the old music icon from 2.9.2 and have been able to upload it on the dock of my LP. I wasn't able to change the icon for the app, but I was able to assign the old icon as a custom icon in LP. So now I have the old music icon in the dock of my LP. Not a great fix, but a patch...
