Hard Reset Black Shadow - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

I used black shadow on my phone and wanted something simpler so I went back to lvsw but when I reset the phone, the reset screen is black shadows, is this just a remnant of Black Shadow or could it possibly be affecting my phone.

This is just because Shadow also flashes the bootscreens but lvsw obviously doesn't so lvsw does not overwrite the shadow boot screens. look at mrvanx's site and it will show how to flash just the bootscreen

there are two splash screens.... boot and main... as shadow flashes both you need to change both... www.mrvanx.org/cms

Wrong Colors - Sliding Panel Media

I have searched in as many word combinations as i can think of, but i cannot find and answer to my problem.
I just installed Kavana 6.1 (RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080408_WWE.exe) rom a couple of days ago (on a T-mobile Dash) and noticed something while i was customizing and making it my own special blend.
I have my Home Screen Layout as the Sliding Panel Media. The problem arises when i attempt to change the colors.
When i change the color scheme to:
Blue - I get the base hue of BLUE but the panel background remains GREEN
Brown - base hue correct, panel background remains Green
Green - everything matches with green (of course)
Grey - base hue correct, panel background still Green
Lake - everything matches with Lake
Light Green - everything matches
Magenta - base hue correct, panel is Green
Purple - base hue once again correct, and panel is still GREEN!
Red - everything matches in Red
My background image is set to Default. I am so sick of looking at green right now. Has anyone else encountered this???
I am having the exact same issue. I just switched to Kavana 080408 from Ricky's v24 and now I can't get the home screen background to work correctly.
Loving that I am not alone in this but sorry you're going through the same issue. Me likes my colors and gotta have em!
Replace the Background
I just did this update today and it seems that you have to replace the background image with something that is a color you want. I don't think that changing the color scheme changes the background image color.
I have encountered this so I tried a hard reset and it worked...
so Try a hard reset and see if this will work for you...
Thanks guys..... I will eventually try the hard reset.

Also, if you would like you can backup everything using Sprite program to back it up so you wont have to reload everything when you do a hard reset on your phone. Let me know if you would like this program.

Yes please......Sprite would make my life easier because there's nothing I hate more than starting over. It usually ends with me remembering the one thing I needed before the reset only to roll my eyes in disgust. I lost some good blackmail material in digital land.....

Black and White text on the Start Menu Screen - WM6.5

Hello all
First off.... sorry if this has been touched on else where. I've searched the site and can't find a pot like this however will apologise if I have missed one.
Ok, so.... has anyone else found that when they press the start button to access the start menu that the text underneath the program icons is either in a black or white font? With mine there doesn't seem to be any pattern to this either (e.g every other program name is white). I can have 5 white then 7 black and then 2 white and so on. I'm guessing you get the picture. This is making program selection super difficult, as if i choose a light back ground I can't see the white text, and visa versa.
This is also changes too. If I rest my device then they change the order of blacks and whites. If i change the theme it has the same affect as well.
So... does anyone one else have the same problem? Anyone get a fix? or magic cab. to remove this problem?
Thanks in advance

Are you on Vodafone?
If so, this is what you need to do, it's a slightly bad ROM flash from 6.1 to 6.5. It did this to me.
Remove any files you have on the phone's memory, then carry out a hard reset. then re-flash the 6.5 ROM. you should then have a light grey back ground and all black text.

Odd stuck white pixel?

Hey XDA, wanted to get thoughts or suggestions on this.
I noticed what appears to be a stuck pixel on my m8 today, but it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me.
Pixel appears to be stuck on (all white), but is only visible on lighter images such as white backgrounds and other lighter colors. Not visible on gray or black images, which seems counter intuitive.
I've restarted several times, run a pixel fix app for about twenty minutes, and verified it's also visible in TWRP recovery, so definitely appears to be hardware.
Any thoughts on a fix, or why it's only visible on lighter backgrounds although is "stuck on" and all white itself? I'd figure it would be more readily visible on dark scenes, but nope!
Thanks in advance for any input.

Im not quite sure how the display works, but maybe the darker images dont activate or light up that actual pixel? Anyways, why dont you bring it to your dealer?

[Q] Is there any way to completely 'black out' the booting process?

As of right now, everything during my boot process has a dark theme except for a white screen that says Google and has an unlock icon at the bottom. This screen is rather blinding I darker light. Thanks to substratum, I have just about everything darkened in some fashion to not only save my eyes, but also that sweet battery life.
Isn't a significant concern, but more of a discordance in my system's general theme.

No fix for that one at the moment! However, I would definitely agree with you on the blinding aspect. Which is why I don't look at it during a reboot!! ???
I think there was a bounty for this for someone to change it in the OG pixel thread, and the time I was there, no one was able to modify it.
Seems like this Pixel 2 is only tougher in regards to development, so I wouldn't get my hopes up :silly:
Any chance that someone has come across a solution for this since?
None have showed up yet....
