No the button bar is hidden and the buttons are up in the notification bar. But when I copy he new framework apk th only thing that changes is the wallpaper and the size of the notifications, battery, and wifi icon. The home, search,back and settings button arethe same size nd so is the notification bar its self. I need the bar to be smaller along with the rest of the icons. That is what the neq framework apk is suposed to do but it isn't. That is what I don't understand. It must work cause someine on here did it. But none of them work for me.

Bacically the notification bar at top of screen is 2x the normal size because of the buttons being added . I want it back to normal size but still have the buttons there. It just won't work.
[Gen8 General] tashtego:
Perhaps you need to full reinitialize your system or even reinstall it from scratch.
[Gen8 General] saprano614:
I thought about that.
[Gen8 General] Unmensch:
No, why should you, that doesn't make sense since it would revert any changes you had done.
[Gen8 General] saprano614:
Problem is the changes I wanted to make didn't work. No matter what I try they just dont work. Maybe someone can figure out the issue and put a custon framework into a rom or something.
[Gen8 General] tashtego:
I hope fisha21 will add this feature to his custom framework.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Good idea;) maybe someone can ask him to do that..:D

he is a really good "design" guy:D
[Gen8 General] tashtego:
Maybe no need to ask him already? ;)
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Oh sorry i dont read that:D shame...:D
[Gen8 General] ArchosRocker:
i think the easiest way is with a launcher. try adw or golauncher.......
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
You can't change the soft buttons with a launcher! :D

They are deep in the archos/android system and you cant change it with a normal launcher;)

At last i've receive 70it today, and first thing i do is root it, create local.prop and install framework-res.apk (24px version). It works as expected.
[Gen8 General] fly_us:
Will this framework method works on 101 or 70it only? any 101 user tried it?
[Gen8 General] saprano614:
should work on all of them
[Gen8 General] fly_us:
Thanks.

Decided to give a try with both 24 px and 32 px, 32 px version is look good on 101.
[Gen8 General] saprano614:
can i get someone to upload a framework from the new firmware with a 32px status bar and a 24px version if you would be so kind. thanks in advance. i have no way ir idea how to do it my self or i would. oh and if you want a custom boot animation check this out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1036238

[Gen8 General] saprano614:
thanks a bunch fisha21
[Gen8 General] fisha21:
No problem

Have to say, I'm still not happy with this as it shrinks all the icons in the notification bar. So whilst the buttons are an ok size, all the notification icons are tiny. Still looking for a way just to resize the button images, but leave the other icons alone....

sorry Guys.

I rooted my A70 , I moved soft buttons on bar.

now I would like to reduce the dimension of only bar of 50%, because soft buttons are too large.

I red all the tred , but sincerely I do not understand what I should do and what/where I should download apk, framework or something similar !

Sorry, I'm not expert.

I followed CHURLI mode explanation to root and I would like, if someone is so Kind to do it, a similar "for dummys" explanation to reduce button bar.

Please for many of us, is not so clear how to upload a custom firmware in the Archos ! paste and copy in the HD like an official update ?????

If you did, then all your contacts will be restored when you flash and add back your google account.

If you stored your contacts on your phone though, you're gonna lose them if you flash again.

What is the diagnosis then? just corrupted interal SD?

Can I just flash with any ROM (e.g from ROM kitchen? Or Darkys for example?) or I should only flash what I had before Eclair 2.1 Proximus branded.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaBlo:
No, you can't change the hardware. But have you looked at different carrier frequencies? Maybe some of them match the Orange network.

I'm assuming Orange is GSM so maybe at&t or T-Mobile?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
There are a couple of ways to do this. 1. Buy a T-mo or Simple no contract for one month and buy the sims that go in it. This is easiest and about 45 bucks (29-quid)

Or there is a way to make the phone register through Tmo but if I remember correctly the surcharge on the phone for being out of country is more expensive. This way you need to use the test codes and go into the gsm settings and force it to only look at a certain band. This i have done not stellar results but i did get it to work.

Buying the short term no contract w/ sims is just WAY easier and cheaper

hope that helps...........

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revned911:
So I've had my gtablet for a little while and found some things I really like. I'm going to list them, and maybe say why. There are a couple things I couldn't get working. Really though, my purpose with this post is to see if anyone knows about anything really cool I'm missing!!!

The ROM: Calkulin's 1.1 - this ROM has been great. VERY responsive compared to TNT lite, a couple of the CM's, and Vegan that I have tried. I'm also running it with Clem's kernal. Still haven't been able to change anythign to fix the random shut off problem, but it restarts pretty quickly and I'm still getting 10+hrs batt life if I just leave the screen on when I'm at school.

Thumb Keyboard: From the market - this keyboard is awesome. It costs a couple bucks, but it's worth it. The keyboard is optimized for tablet use (ie - letters on the sides, so you're not reaching over the middle). Using it for a week now with no complaints.

ADW Launcher: I paid. Used it on my fascinate. Like it on my tab. Are there launchers optimized for tablets or anything cool/unique?

Hard Keyboard: it's a "genius" USB keyboard. It was 18 bucks. Kids at school make fun of me for having a corded keyboard but I don't care. It's light weight and works well.

Calibration.ini on my SD card. IT'S LIKE A DIFFERENT SCREEN!

Carbon Fiber Pattern Stick on from Ebay everyone else seems to have found. Like it a lot.

Market fix, although once in a while appbrain has an app the market can't seem to find. No real complaints yet though.

My biggest complaint is a widget problem - the Widget for SPRINGPAD does not exist! It's not even on the list. I wish I could find it.

I really enjoy using OFFICESUITE for taking notes in class and it supports keyboard shortcuts like copy/paste, save. 30 day trial is nice, too. RepliGo Reader has been my go-to pdf reader (I read a lot of those in PT school). Alkilido (sp?) Ebook reader is my go-to for ebook readers. Dropbox, and the titanium media sync for dropbox is great! I've been switching between Firefox Browser and Miren Browser for web browsing, but haven't found a browser for the tablet I'm completely sold on.

What i'd really like to find is a stylish looking folding case I've read through the posts and I'm not really excited about anything I've seen on amazon or etsy.

I guess my big question is: am I missing out on anything really cool?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Nice timeline of what you've done. Looks like you've tweaked the system to your liking.

As I thought about things you might have missed, it occurs to me that there isn't any one or several things you just have to do. It's more about the process of tinkering and playing with a new toy.

as for ROMs, I've tried TNTL, Vegan 5.X, and currently Vegan Ginger. They've all been great. Each has their own little quirks, and if you put made me use one or the other, I would be less upset about the actual choice, than the lack of choice.

I guess all I'm saying is just keep tinkering. Make sure you get comfortable with CWM backup, and flash away into new territories.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roxxas049:
bah stupid forward button
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roxxas049:
Only thing I did in addition to those things was d isable the hard menu buttons on the side (I kept hitting them when I didn't want to) using button remapper and used button savior to make software keys that are easy to use.

As far as accessories VS dropped the ball in that area, from what I can see they are getting a nice penny from slapping their name on the tablet and paying for someone to update it a few times and they'll quit supporting it. I don't expect to see any "official" items for this tablet no matter what VS says.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revned911:
Create a file on the SD card called calibration.ini if you are unhappy about he responsive ness of your screen. I was, and the difference it made was like it became a completely different device!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Better yet, download this App and calibrate at will:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=934500

The 'problem' with calibration.ini is that if you leave it on the SDcard, it recalibrates everytime you reboot. Not a problem unless you happen to be touching the screen while it does it!

With this app you can run the calibration at will.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruceCLin:
That's the first thing I tried. Unfortunately, like some others on here, it did not fix the screen at all time. It worked the first day, but not anytime afterward for me. I then tried the .ini file fix, perfect!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revned911:
I did the ini before I saw an app was released. Deleted after boot n its worked well since but thanks a lot! Can anyone recommend a good mobile web browser? I'm using Miren and Firefox. Tried skyfire and don't much care for the dolphin apps.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamhead:
Can you be more specific? I'm running Calkulin+Clemsyn Froyo combo and VTL is included in that ROM. Seems to work as advertised for me.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraftwerksfit:
Great thread OP!

Im running skyfire for now as my browser. Firefox all the way for my macbook and pc! The reviews for firefox in market make me not want to bother. Is it any better than skyfire? Only thing that bugs me is can't delete tabs, you've got to wipe cashed or after a reboot they are gone.

So what's the issue with the calibration of screen? Is this something everyone with a Gtab should do? Only just out of bootup is my screen unresponsive.

EDITI ran it and can now tell a huge difference! Everyone run the app that was posted.:eek:

Can't wait to run VTL once launcher widgets work.

[Vibrant Accessories] thegreatcity:
Later this month I am moving north. Im flying, and have a couple layovers. I want my Vibrant to last the whole day, but Ill probably have trouble not playing with my Vibrant the many hours Im stuck sitting on my ass. I considered the cheap Energizer charger, but it uses double-A batteries, and last time I flew (dont know how lax the rules have gotten, probably not much) batteries were a no-no.

So I checked the best website on the net (next to XDA) Monoprice, and saw they were selling this: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083311&p_id=7663&seq=1&format=2

They also sell a 2800mAh variant. Only issue is, I see Motorola and Blackberry owners saying it doesnt work for them, and HTC and LG owners saying it works great. Nothing from Samsung owners, however. So, anyone tried this? I believe there are identical, unbranded versions on eBay, so if this looks familiar, tell us how it worked for you.
[Vibrant Accessories] degeneration:
No, but I will try to say something useful.

I made my own battery pack. It puts out 5v at some where around 300mah and works fine. Higher would be better. It works just fine for me. Point being that the phone seems to not care much about the incoming current, and 5v has to work because it charges off a USB port (which puts out around 500mah)...

So no guarantee, but if something I whipped up on my own works I would assume the phone is pretty accepting...

What have been the best playing roms for video playback particularly 720p H264 MKV's?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Stick with the ROMs with hardware acceleration enabled. If a ROM does not have this, it's usually listed as such (and usually "experimental" in nature).

Keep in mind the Tegra 2 issue with high profile h264 files -- this should be common knowledge by now. If not, an FYI that the Tegra 2 does not like h264 files encoded in high profile, it just chokes. Not just on a GTAB, but ANY Tegra 2 device (including the Xoom).

To find out if your video is high profile, I would recommend the excellent (and free) "MediaInfo" tool -- http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Judo Jeff:
TntLite and Vegan 5.1.1 both have hardware acceleration enabled and Rockplayer (or the stock player) both work. The only sticky thing is that I don't believe 720p mkv is supported by the chipset. Yes, it's only a container, but I don't think Android supports the container. If you remux into an mp4 (assuming it's AAC encoding and not AC3) you'd be fine.

if i do the update will it mess up the Metro Flash..
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmckenzie:
I just did the same thing. MOST Roms will not adjust any Metro Flash settings. Talk/Text should work after a fresh Rom.

However, be aware of any OTA Sense Roms and FlashBack Roms. They WILL revert your phone back to Verizon settings. I made this mistake twice.

--EDIT--

I would also recommend downloading APN Backup/Restore from the market, and backing up your current APN settings before flashing a new 2.2 ROM just in case your settings get wiped.

Been searching for a few days now, but haven't found what I'm looking for. If someone knows if something like this exists, I'd appreciate the heads-ups.

I'm looking for an app that will alert me to a severe weather condition, especially at night. I normally put my phone on silent so I don't hear it everytime an e-mail comes in. What I'd like to find is an app that will go ahead and make a sound (even if my phone is in silent mode) in the event the national weather service issues a severe weather alert. Ideally it would tie into the NOAA weather radio service, but even if it could get its alerts from Weather.com, Accuweather, etc would be OK.

Any ideas? I sure haven't found one yet.....

THanks.
