I have been having a problem with my rooted epic's. I get popup messages about online dating with zoosk and other affiliates. I am unable to find out to get rid of these annoying adds. They are both running the syndicate frozen 1.2 rom. I have looked through the forums and am unable to find anything related to this issue. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

ok just a simple question.......Can we apply the OTA update from HTC or not?
I am not ready to root yet but also do not want the ability taken away, I know that people are reporting that the unrevoked method still works but is this really where the rooting method is going to stay since it seems to me its really not complete yet.
I could be missing something so please let me know what you think as coming from the Hero I am a bit confused
wow, not 1 opinion.........this is weird for this forum
There is already answers in this very forum page, you didn't even looked once before posting the question. Yes, you can do the OTA Update.

man oh man, I post a question in Q&A, and this guy wants to talk trash on his second post since 09' you are truly an asset to this community
If you do update you are going to want to get ready to install atk to kill the calendar app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695515
I did not use the phone pre update so I have to say the update is actually good beyond the calendar issue. The other sprint bloatware that people are saying are running and draining battery aren't running on their own in the ota.

He is trying to help....We dont need multiple threads with the same questions. Please use the search function.
I would think that a member with your number of posts would know to do so without being asked.
No problem with the Calendar here and I updated, it is something else that is causing the problem. Are you guys that are having that problem rooted?
Pictures in the buddy widget seem to be stretched (beyond what they need to be) and are horribly blurry. Anyone else find a way to correct this?

One thing to remember is that only"fully loaded"will contain the touch wiz widgets "buddies now being one" since touch wiz is not included in the other
And yeah... The dead threads walk lol

Um so has anyone figured out the topic at hand? Why the pictures are blurry and how to fix?
I am having trouble installing the Buddies Now widget on SyndicateRom Frozen 1.1.0 Fully Loaded as well. I read the release notes for 1.1.0 and now where does it have the link to the flashable missing widgets that you mentioned.
If you could help me with this i would really appreciate this. I am trying to get this phone working for my wife.. Buddies Now is definitely one of her must haves.
Again, Thanks in Advance!!!

For some reason I can't get any thing from Droid pirate to load on my dinc. I'm using the redemption rom 2.3 if that's makes a difference and I'm trying to install these using metamorph. Help would be awesome

Im gunna guess droid pirate is not good for talk here
Flash n flush gives new meaning to wipe everything!
It's because it's probably a virus lololololololol
Pirated software is frowned upon here.
Apparently some people don't know what droidpirate.com is. If one checks the site as I just did, it would be noted that it's not a piracy or warez site.

Can you give us specific examples of themes you've tried to apply?
Can you clarify what you mean by the statement that you can't get them to load? Does that mean you can't open them in MetaMorph at all? Or does MetaMorph say that it has applied the theme and then nothing changes?
I gave just tried to install custom notification backgrounds. That's it. I didn't Droid pirate was bad.
Dinc
I had someone tell me about Droid pirate and how good it was. That's why I tried it. I didn't knw it could be a virus. But I have only tried installing custom notification backgrounds and nothing eles.
Dinc
As far as I can tell, the comments about viruses and such were knee-jerk reactions to the site name.
I'd like to help you, but you still aren't providing the necessary information for me to be able to do that. Can you provide a link to the specific MM theme that you tried to apply? There are pages and pages of notification backgrounds.
Also, can you please specify the problem? Is MM failing to open the theme file? Is MM claiming to apply the theme but nothing changes upon reboot?
I still don't know exactly what you mean when you say you can't get them to load. That could mean many different things.
Yes mm is applying the file but nothing is happening on the reboot. I can see if I can get the link real quick if that will help.

Droidpirate is strictly a name the sites dedicated to everything theming related to Android.

Owner of Droidpirates.com here. And what's going on?. Why is everyone (almost) blaming my website in this post
No clue what is going on here, but this has nothing to do with the phone, nor does much of anything in this thread make sense.
Closing this up.
after trying every flavor out there, ive decided to stick with di18.
i am picky, i know, but the stock rom (rooted) is 100% what I like. there is not one thing that doesnt work the way i like it to.... so.... on that note
ive removed all the sprint apps, update.zip and its rooted but i cannot get the darn thing to stop asking me about the update...
<picture> epic with 2.2 and caption "DO NOT WANT!" </picture>
help
make it stop!
I believe you could just rename or remove the systemUpdater.apk and it would stop checking for updates
.. I think thats the correct name but if its called something else please correct me
Edit: I would just use Titanium and "Freeze" the system updater at first. but i think this is removed on custom roms anyway so shouldn't be a problem to remove it

well, im a big fan of the syndicate rom but it carries over what i dont like
the "google" search is slower than the stock search
the browser seems slower
messages in the "call log" annoy me
cant search in phone app by last name
keyboard seems to "miss" letters
except syndicate, dk and ce based roms just seem slower
if i could build roms i would and remove the carrier iq and add the extra functions when you hold down the power button.
btw, im a guy.... i need to change my sn lol
so, im going to just remove system updater, hope that works
I'm with you,I liked DK28 the best out of all 3 FROYO releases,and I actually had DI18 on all day today just to see what it was like again; And I forgot how damn smooth it was compared to this hacked-up **** we have right now,I know EC05 is young (and I plan on building EC05 still) but I'm making a DK28/EB13/EC05 ROM with no carrier IQ,and most if not all EC05 mods should work,I start on that as soon as I get off work.

What you listed doesn't make sense...
the "google" search is slower than the stock search It is the stock search.
the browser seems slower Fast and checkerboardless in SRF.
messages in the "call log" annoy me Not present in SRF.
cant search in phone app by last name Fair.
keyboard seems to "miss" letters Better than DI18 and user-adjustable in SRF.
I don't think you need to defend SRF kOnane... I think my problem is UV kernels,but I still can't narrow down the static/pops. But this is what I've seen sofar,when fast scrolling (scroll fast,then remove finger fast) no pops,but if I scroll with my finger on the touch screen the entire time,it pops like crazy ; Which makes me think its the touch screen driver,or interference on the bus when using the touch screen...

So I phoned my mother telling her she was right and that I was special...
Anywho.
I have Syndicate ROM Frozen 1.2 on my Epic. Well, I took out the battery because I thought my phone had frozen a while back and now I can't see the boot logo, but once it's done turning on all I had to do is to slide out the keyboard and the phone shows the home screen and all is well. Well because of this "blackout" during inital boot, I can't access CWD since I can't see the options (I want to install a theme). The closest related thing I did find was here, but it's solved in a way that I currently can't afford (that's right, I'm poor). So the question is:
What can I do to try and fix this?
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Best bet would be to Odin or Heimdall in stock and start from there. Sounds like either the param.ifs or bootloaders are damaged. The 2nd post tells you about Heimdall and doing just param.ifs, boot.bin and sbl.bin if you choose:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
But not knowing what else is damaged maybe a full Odin tar would be best.
Awesome, thank you. It did the trick
