How do you apply that one fade?? Oh and How in the heck to my 3rd party apps like handcent lights work shortly after a reboot and not immediately.
Got to be something Im doing.
To answer your first question, here is a brief writeup. If your phone is rooted and you already have 2.1 installed, then I will assume you already have a reasonably decent handle on what you are doing. Like anything else, though, you can brick your phone.
Warning: After you do this, your personal information will be wiped. You will have to log back in and re-download all of your apps again.
First, download the
build.prop file. Save it/move it to your sdk. (Usually /android/tools)
open your console and cd to your tools folder. (Make sure your phone is connected and in debug.)
type the following:
adb push build.prop /system
Reboot your phone into recovery (power + x) and select "Wipe data/factory restore).
After that, you are done. Redownload all of your apps and have fun.
To answer your second question, I have no idea. You are apparently further ahead than I am. I don't use handcent, I use ChompSMS, and the LED simply does not work with it.
I did find, however, that "Missed Call" works flawlessly with it. I just shut off all of the notifications from all of my apps and use Missed Call for everything.
