@ bhupatib: thanks for that suggestion. Unfortunately, I cannot buy stuff from the Playstore from here...so I'd have to try to get it directly from the dev(s) so I'll wait... There is also a free one called "ICS Taskmanager" which isn't so bad [appart from the ads that I can't tweak coz their app doesn't decompile properly...].

OK, a little off-topic but here's one for maniac103 maybe or anyone with apk building experience:

--> Is there an easy way to make the cam/videocam shutters buttons rotate with screen orientation?

I had a look into this and I thought that in: \Camera\res\layout\camera_control.xml,

I could just change the beginning of line #13 from:

<com.android.camera.ShutterButton android:id="@id/shutter_button" android:background="@drawable/btn_shutter" android:focusable="true" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/btn_ic_camera_shutter" android:scaleType="center" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

to this:

<com.android.camera.[COLOR="Red"]RotateImageView[/COLOR] android:id="@id/shutter_button" android:background="@drawable/btn_shutter" android:focusable="true" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/btn_ic_camera_shutter" android:scaleType="center" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

like it is for the last image preview, the cam/videocam switch and other small settings icons, but that didn't fly: the camera starts but then FC right away... :crying:

So what are those "<com.android.camera" entries calling for exactly?

I'd need to change/create a specific smali file (with array, matrix, canvas and what not) for those buttons to rotate or am I missing anything else?

Anyhow, just asking and no big deal... It's just that I like the shutter icons I currently use in my theme but the shadow on them kind of look weird in portrait mode because they stay in landscape mode....

- - -

Now for the real off-topic part...

Since I'm a nice guy and since no one even bothered downloading and commenting on the two new keyboard skins I posted 2 days ago on my theme thread [what's wrong with you guys!?! :silly:]...

I've bundled the theme's keyboard files into the stock kb app, zipped it and attached it here (undo zip also).

Maybe some of you will enjoy it this way....

Comments and changes suggestions are welcomed...on my theme thread. Thanks.

This should work on pretty much any recent cm7-jordan(+) build as the LatinIME.apk doesn't see many changes.

com.android.camera.(value)

in xmls can be a reference to the

smali/com/android/(value.smali)

folder structure.
[Defy Android Development] pradeeppk:
My defy is running with wiui gb. I am not faced such issue till now
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Thanks, I've figured that out right after sending my post...

And what I've tried was silly because it basically cancelled all the smali code for the ShutterButton.

So I guess that what I'm after is a way to apply the RotateImageView.smali to the ShutterButton.smali; something like:

<com.android.camera.RotateImageView <com.android.camera.ShutterButton ... -the rest of line 13- ... /> />

But that didn't even compile...

Anyhow, I doubt that there is always an easy way out like that for dirty hacks...

I've got to get myself a Linux setup and learn more coding :cowboy:
[Defy Android Development] adiq_ambro:
Yep, what you were trying to do was complete nonsence. Just look here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/declaring-layout.html .

In your particular case you changed a widget type from ShutterButton to RotateImageView.

Just look at example:

You have

<TextView android:id="@+id/text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello, I am a TextView" />

Now, change TextView to Button and voila! In your application instead of simple line of text there should be a Button!

BUT! Code for 99% won't compile, because it's expecting that element with id text is a TextView, not a Button.

Thats what you accidentaly acomplished.

If you want to have an image rotated on orientation change you have two choices:

- defining another layout which will be used on portrait orientation

- changing code to detect orientation change and only rotate particular images (eg. shutter button) to match it.

If you have any idea of programming you can try nice tutorials to Android programming located here

just download the rls yourself and just extract the battd and the libbattd...

[Defy Android Development] pepcisko:
http://get.cm, get the appropriate release for your phone.

extract /system/bin/battd, /system/lib/libbattd.so, copy to your phone, set permissions, reboot.

Android 3.0 Bluetooth backport or app for hardware

I got a bluetooth keyboard that unfortunately needs >Android 3.0. Is there an app that workarounds the problem?

On the Android site is stated that beginning with 3.0 there are certain "Vendor-specific AT commands" that most probably are the culprit because I think that my keyboard wants to send a PIN to the Defy which doesn't work and so I cannot pair them.

Any idea?

/edit: Dumb typo: "<" was meant to be ">"
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
So the problem is during pairing and is due to the keyboard? Well one strange thing I have noticed between my laptop and my bluetooth mouse is that if I pair them in windows and then boot into Linux, they are still paired! It's a shot in the dark but try pairing them in cm7, then flash cm10 if >3.0 is not supported. Maybe the keyboard will remember it the same way my mouse remembers my laptop bluetooth module irrespective of the os... whacky and maybe just a bug with my laptop module but worth a try :P

The sticker is always right, you see ME525+ in menu, because you have a ROM installed which is for ME525+ (Chinese Defy version). Do you remember how you installed this rom on the phone? Was it a full chinese .sbf?

So you flashed a full GB sbf on your MB525, that means you can't downgrade to Froyo (which would be the latest version official firmware for your phone) so in order to use camera again, you have to use a CM10 rom with custom kernel to get a working camera..

I have a Defy MB525 with red Bayer lense flashed with Nordic Froyo 2.2.2 and I have some problems with this rom.

What I made:

1. I rooted it with SuperOneClick;

2. Installed the recovery with 2ndInitDefy 2.0;

3. In Custom Recovery wiped data, cache and dalvik cache;

4. Flashed the CM7 Stable .zip and again wiped data, cache and dalvik cache;

5. Flashed the gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip and again wiped only cache and dalvik cache.

I tried also to not wipe at 3 & 4 steps.

The problems are that the launcher isn't smooth but laggy, and I can't find the Gapps even if I connect to the Internet.

I have a WiFi problem too: after some minutes (or seconds if I try to download something) the connection break and I have to turn off and then on the WiFi to make it works (anyway I can't download anything...).

What's the problem? :rolleyes:
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
If you don't wipe data wiped data, cache and dalvik cache then got back and wipe it.... This is necessary when moving through android versions (CM7 to CM9 etc) or from stock to AOSP (CM etc)

then reinstall gapps

Hi to everybody.

I have a problem on CM7.2:

Under CPU performance i don't have 800 MHz step.... any idea???

sent from my NS
[Defy Android Development] shade0723:
go to bootmenu->cpu settings and depending on the device you have (defy or defy+) you will have 3 or 4 clock values clk1,clk2 etc. and their coresponding vsel values. For example clk1 300mhz@vsel1 18, clk2 600mhz@vsel2 30, clk3 1000mhz@vsel3 52. Don't set vsel values too low otherwise your device will become unstable. These settings are perfectly stable for my defy (green lense) and battery efficient. Lower vsel = less energy used by cpu. Do some research on cpu overclocking and undervolting for defy if you are in doubt. You can also do all the above outside the bootmenu with the app SetVsel from market.

[Defy Android Development] measel:
AW: [DEV][ROM] CyanogenMod 7.2.0 (Android 2.3.7)

defy was undervolted... if you check again for the chip, forgot the model right now, you will see 1000mhz id's standard for the chip. and btw. the phone is over 2 years old and ALL custom roms run on 1000mhz so there is no need for reasoning really... its very well tested.
[Defy Android Development] shade0723:
defy and defy+ share the same hardware only difference being the camera module. Defy was underclocked and overvolted to be sold as a low-mid budget device and to not influence the sales of higher end devices by motorola. So it is only logical to overclock it and unlock its full potential (maximum safe frequency being around 1200mhz but i've seen people overclock it even to 1350mhz) thus the default on custom roms is now 1000mhz.
