GPLV2 actually covers apps like settings.apk but htc and others may have contracts with google
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Doesn't work that way. Google license Android under Apache, but the Linux kernel is GPL. Apache allows you to develop proprietary stuff from the source code, but GPL does not.

You are required, by law, to release the source code for any Linux kernel you make. You do not need to do the same for Android.
[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:
Well someone said it was GPLV2
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
That someone is wrong ;)

Anyway we are screwed and we don't see miui Rom right?

Sent from my HTC Legend
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Become a part of their team and develop it officially. The reason they don't give the source code out is to stop crap ports with their name on it, thus destroying the MIUI name. It's a problem for CyanogenMOD, it's a problem for Google.
[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:
how is it a problem for cyanogenmod either it is cm or its something else

like my rom is based on cm but i dont want it to be cm there fore i try to customize and edit as much as i can
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Nah, you don't need source code for shrinking images of resources. The only problem is that you have to decompile all .9 pngs and then edit them one by one. Maybe someone with deep knowledge of PS or Gimp could try to make a script to edit all .9 pngs in a batch job. I could tell him/her what to do exactly...
[Legend Android Development] chandramohan1986:
Sorry if i am wrong, In our forum somebody port Xperia Arc to legend, which is HDPI to MDPI , when it s possible MIUI cant be?
[Legend Android Development] smartsreenath:
i think you don't know how to read the develps name bro :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Legend Android Development] beggar23:
If you provide those decompiled pngs and editing infos, I can imagine doing that with my PS.
[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:
looks like the development isnt dead there are some one thats working on it he has already fixed framework-res.apk we should help him in his port
[Legend Android Development] beggar23:
Would you mind telling us the name of this guy and where you got the information from, please?
[Legend Android Development] drakko1980:
Yeah, i'm working on it... and gimp does have a batch script google gimp batch.... but the best way to do it is to NOT decompile the 9's instead to extract.... resize then rebuild them that way there are new markers to fit the size, otherwise resizing a decompiled 9 will throw up errors, it takes longer, but it works. I've got the framework-res done and have given it to tobbeson to try to put into their build...
[Legend Android Development] alexhtclegend:
They only ported the launcher and a few apps. The ROM is actually just CM7.
[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:
i did port the framework-res.apk too

i havent made any changes to systemui.apk yet therefore the black layout
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
So you are saying that just resizing .9 pngs does work? I thought you have to decompile them to get plain pngs with 1 pixel wide markers around. Then you shrink them, manually repair markers, optimize and recompile them back.

But that's actually the easy part of porting. What you also have to do is edit all xmls with dimensions and that's really a pain to do...

How the hell did you do that??? That's at least one month of work! Just copying framework-res.apk to some other ROM cannot really be called porting.
[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:
he showed me quite simple

use apk manager then extract it (not decompile) rezise imagery (could work with batch reziser) open draw9patch draw all around the perimiter

done
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Yeah but how do you know which part of png is actually stretchable and where should text go if you didn't decompile it in the first place???
[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:
i actually dont know
[Legend Android Development] drakko1980:
because draw9patch is a wysiwyg editor, it shows you what the end result looks like when you draw.... as for the text, that's xml based, and in editing the xml's most are based of a percentage, which makes it fairly easy to mess with especially seeing how most you don't even have to edit because it will stretch based off of the screen size you define in the manifest
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Well that is why you have to decompile them in the first place! Otherwise it is plain guessing.

Sent from my HTC Legend
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
I know what draw9patch is. But how do you know which part of let say button is stretchable and where on this button should text be printed if you didn't decompile it in the first place???

I also know what xml is and how it is constructed but saying that everything is proportional is plain an simple guessing.

Sent from my HTC Legend
[Legend Android Development] drakko1980:
As far as how do you know what is what, when you re-draw the lines...the bottom and right side lines designate your buffer area. These lines determine where any font displayed inside this image is to be centered, so if its a timepicker just draw the lines in where the text will be, same with a dropdown menu. The lines on the top and left are your stretchable areas. This tells the system where it can stretch this image, this is where you are gonna wanna look at the image while you are drawing to see what kind of distortion you are getting, and if you are getting "said bad image" it is preferred to draw across the entire side. As far as how the image is displayed on the screen x and y, like I was saying, and obviously you know as you say you know how xml works, that is what you edit....and yes(if this is what you were wanting to hear) you do have to decompile in order to edit the xml only, but you can still resize and rebuild your apk by extracting in apkmanager, as long as you need no adjustments on your xml file. I generally decompile, re-write screen settings, compile, then extract and make changes to .png's and .9.png's. Less room for errors, because when you decompile only, you can have a lot of problems with the draw lines when resizing the .9.pngs. Hope that helped bro....
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
I hear you man ;) loud and clear. I understand you and have understood you from the beginning, I just wanted to know how do you know where to draw those lines and as I suspected you draw them by guess/feeling.

Yeah, I also figured out that stretching decompiled .9 png might pose a problem if some of those border lines suddenly take more than 1 pixel. But still it might be a good idea to also decompile .9 pngs into separate dir to have them side by side with already stretched png opened in draw9patch to actually see where those lines should be otherwise the procedure of drawing border lines is pure guessing...
[Legend Android Development] drakko1980:
yeah, you could do that for reference, but in the end you are still guessing, because when you resize the object let's say 66% for this particular rom, and for this screen size, you will not have the exact draw lines pixel per pixel and you can't always get a perfect ratio and have to move the draw line to the nearest pixel, which is still an educated guess....at least that's what i think they told us in like 5th grade some 20 years ago....lmao:D god, now i feel old haha. Well, thanks for the friendly banter anyways... it's been fun, but now I need to get back to actually working on this thing, otherwise it'll never get ported lol
[Legend Android Development] smartsreenath:
any progress....... :confused::confused::confused:
[Legend Android Development] drakko1980:
Yes and no... have over half of apks done, but its taking longer than I had planned re-writing xmls... hope to have a working Rom up by the end of the week...*crosses fingers* ...I'll give an update later this week for sure
[Legend Android Development] smartsreenath:
thanks for the info:):):)
[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:
you are progressing faster than i thought

sorry but i cant help with any thing im away on a ski vacation

i only have internet on my ipad

thanks for the report
[Legend Android Development] alexhtclegend:
Wow, good luck! I never thought we even had a chance of getting MIUI!

I'm bored of FroYo Sense, I'm not keen on cyanogenmod, and the 2.3 Sense ROM is getting nowhere, so this would be great!
[Legend Android Development] LayZeeDK:
I most certainly agree :D
[Legend Android Development] janarp:
Wow nice work. There is possibility we get this Rom at this weekend? :P

[Legend Android Development] drakko1980:
Tobbeson is correct as soon as I get a port for the Eris/hero I will throw the build to tobbeson so that they can port it to you guys's legends... hopefully with my port anyone with a mdpi phone can port from it. So far still on track for this weekend on my end.
[Legend Android Development] drakko1980:
Update... little bit of bad news... woke up this morning and went to get on computer.... pushed power... click....uhh....click.click.click.....nothing. tested and no power coming through the power supply. Have to wait till Wed to go and buy a new $140 power supply..yay will let you guys know... sorry about the hold up... this really hinders things as I was only 6 more apks away from throwing together a test Rom. Thanks for all the patience. I have not forgotten you guys.
[Legend Android Development] Hitmax117:
stuff like that happens unfortunately

we'll be waiting ;)
[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:
whao that was expensive

for the power supply only?

here in sweden we pay aprox $70
[Legend Android Development] drakko1980:
Yeah... I custom built my comp. The power supply I use is a 620w with 4 SATA outputs 3 IDE outputs and 3 accessory connections. Cheapest one I know of is that price.
[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:
Yeah thats a down side with custom

No warranty

if something like this happens to my mac pro apple Will propably Fix it
[Legend Android Development] Hitmax117:
good thing about custom is you can replace everything when you want how you want, down side costs money

with warranty you have the irritating waiting times for repairs tho

all comes down to what you want/need
[Legend Android Development] speedyink:
I'm glad it's not a mac, then we'd be waiting longer! With custom you just run out to the store, buy the part and slap it in.
[Legend Android Development] drakko1980:
Lol yeah well initially I was writing programs for fun and drafting blueprints for a few of my buds that are contractors... both require a lot more power than what you can get at Wal-Mart, best buy or what-not. I put together a 3000 dollar machine (compare with alienware) for about $600. Guess what part cost the bulk of it...lol if you guessed the one that I need you would be correct

just to update you guys, I put my order on the power supply in and 2-day delivery so I should have it and installed Friday, and will get those who PM'ed me the framework-res file for xperia, and will continue finishing off the 6 apk's I need to complete to make an alpha rom... sorry about the wait guys, this has been a pain, trust me I know, I can't do much right now, but rest assured I am planning to see this through as I don't see it being fair that only hdpi phones get the MIUI goodness.
[Legend Android Development] thugzie:
drakko big props for the info! im waiting for this to happen maybe I will root my phone for your port :)

Sorry you guys, it didn't come on Friday due to the recent tornado activity, it was delayed til today, I got it in and now back to working on the rom... once again sorry bout the long delay, but what can ya do... anywho, on a better note, I have 6 more apk's to port to mdpi and I can get a alpha rom up to see what happens.... :eek: don't wanna set a time or date, cause last time I did that, my power supply blew up on me as to say... f*** you, but I will keep you updated... thanks for the support

note:don't loose your legend for miui
[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:
well the hd2 is not outdated its more quick than our legend and you can boot android, windows mobile, windows phone 7, meego, ubuntu and it has a big hd screen and is cheap

i already have bought an arc but i dont think miui will come to it
[Legend Android Development] smartsreenath:
i know the specs and multi os capability [even my pc don't have that much os options]

go for it bro :):):)
[Legend Android Development] alexhtclegend:
But its got crap multitouch like legend, and quite poor 3D gaming graphics. I almost bought the HD2 last year but I got a Legend instead, though I wish I hadn't now!
[Legend Android Development] MaBlo:
Same here, I ordered the GS2 yesterday, but can't get rid of my Legend. Such a awesome little phone!
[Legend Android Development] chandramohan1986:
I also decided to go for HD2, because i cant afford here in china 5000 RMB(780 USD) Htc sensation or Samsung Galxy S2, HD2 only costs me 1900 RMB(290 USD),

Have any suggestions not to go for HTC HD2! i know the pros, dont know the cons
[Legend Android Development] smartsreenath:
i recommend go for desire hd.if you still can't afford go for desire[it still have enough juice left to show wonders]

hd2 - i hate the screen quality

note:sensation launched in china ? :confused::confused::confused:
[Legend Android Development] chandramohan1986:
No,HTC sensation available for pre order on online stores only, no actual release date yet
[Legend Android Development] smartsreenath:
ok.official india launch date is june 22.

It's more than offtopic - and this even in the Dev Section...

[Legend Android Development] alexhtclegend:
We don't know that for sure, but the developer hasn't posted in a while.
[Legend Android Development] drakko1980:
If this is the case... then why not just close the thread instead of whining about what you regret about getting and what "new" phones you plan on getting. If you've already given up then shut the thread down.
[Legend Android Development] Hitmax117:
calm down guys !!

I didnt heard drakko saying he stopped, okay the armv6 support missing sucks but as long as the dev working on it didnt say he stopped, i'm still supporting him !!
[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:
i have already closed it

and if you manage to port windows to arm then you might get lucky and can port this rom haha

we need the source because the architecture libs are built when compiling and building armv6 libs without the source is going to be a pain

[Legend Android Development] typhoonscotland:
Okay, might be a silly suggestion, but isn't MiUI partly based on CyanogenMod (or vice versa)?

By that statement I mean, isn't the CyanogenMod team a part of the MiUI team now; since they worked together for the FM radio app (on the Nexus One)?

If they are a part of the MiUI team now then why can't we use the same CyanogenMod insides but with the look of MiUI? :confused:

I hope someone on here knows what I mean. This would mean if CyanogenMod could release the information that MiUI needs to be able to support each device then all of the CyanogenMod supported devices could then use MiUI.

I really hope I am right in what I say, as in theory, CyanogenMod and MiUI could join to create a brilliant (if not, the ultimate) Android OS, I suggest miCyanogenUI as a name. :p

Thanks,

TS

P.s. I know no questions in development but I believe these questions need to be asked inside this topic.
[Legend Android Development] smartsreenath:
galaxy 3 had ported the miui except launcher,may be we can port the miui from this rom.
[Legend Android Development] typhoonscotland:
I still think if miUI worked with CyanogenMod then compatibility between devices would be significantally improved.

Would it be possible to have miUI with a Cyanogen core and if so why hasn't this been tried before? I do know that we have png problems however I believe this could be overcome.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazerico:
Hey guys

i was wondering if someone can work with me on this.

willing to pay on paypal for the help

what itis is i got a hd2

i put on and try a few droid

i dont like windows 6.5

so i found out windows 7 was out for the hd2.

i installed it and got it working

But i didnt like it so i wanted to go back to windows 6.5

this is what im getting in my screen

PB81120 SS-B3

SPL-3.03.0000 xe

MicroP (LED) 0x50

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x50

upgrade rom code error please try again

then on bottom it says serial

Anyway si when to the HTC web site to download the road and i get this

Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.

Can someone point me in the right direction to see if i can make this work? or did i totally bricked the phone?

like i said if you can help me im willing to pay you tru paypal.

thanks alot
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tictac0566:
If you were able to flash and use WP7, your phone should not be bricked.

What happened when you tried to flash an HTC stock ROM was obviously that HSPL was deleted, but no ROM was installed.

Some ROMs for HD2 are operator specific (eg. "branded"), which is why you cannot flash an HTC stock ROM - you should try other ones with your serial number in case you don´t know if your device was branded or not.

Just in case, there are many ROMs available from other sites, too.

In the "worst case", maybe just try to re-install HSPL (using HSPL4.exe), then flash whatever WinMo ROM you like (either stock or custom).

One important note, however: Flashing a stock ROM (HTC or operator) via SD card will always erase HSPL, this would bring you back to the same situation you are in right now: You can only flash an "original" ROM for your device.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazerico:
I can't thank you enough

i installed the HSPL4

and i was able to flash the original rom

so the phone is working now

i will stay with 6.5 and droid

windows 7 wasnt for me anyways.

i would liek to repay you for your time

if you PM me your paypal i will donate

thanks.

i check so many websites and i just never did pick the hspl thing
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tictac0566:
I am glad it worked out!

Absolutely no need for any "donation" to myself, helping each other is one of the main purposes of xda devs.

If you want, why don´t you donate to xda?

Hope you´ll be fine with WinMo/Android, there are so many possibilities with your HD2!

Can you please lead me the right direction as to where i can get details to bring back my Gtab to stock.. I have CWmod 8 so i would need to get rid of that as well so not sure which route is the best. If i can get the stock firmware and just load it via CWm or NVflash.

You guys know any fullscreen GPS apps for XOOM? I tried Motonav (I have it on my n1) and it's taking up a tiny portion of the XOOM screen (obvious reasons)

anything out there already supersized?
[Xoom General] Sejanus:
I'm curious whether downloading Spare Parts and disabling Compatibility Mode will make it fill out the entire screen.
[Xoom General] burden010:
Good question, it's something I'm also interested in. Does Motonav use downloaded maps?

Also, have you tried disabling compatability mode in Spare Parts to make the app full screen?
[Xoom General] sangreal06:
The XOOM comes with Google's full screen navigation app 'Navigation'...

I thought it did thats why I was confused lol
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
Not available in all countries.
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
forgot to mention I have the WIFI-only xoom

Motonav has pre-installed maps ... the point is to use the GPS and only the GPS (no data)

what's spare parts?
[Xoom General] wang1404:
Spare parts is an app. Just put it in market and search for it and you'll see what h meant
[Xoom General] rlrbjr:
CoPilot Live runs fine on the Xoom.
[Xoom General] vamp6x6x6x:
Spare Parts is an app that lets you turn off compatibility mode, so that most apps will scale to your larger screen apposed to being small phone size on your big screen device...Why you have to turn off compatibility mode to get apps to scale..I have no clue, but it works.
[Xoom General] PlinXoom:
That might simply be an app issue, Ive used the navigation app overseas in rome even in walking navigation, works perfectly.

I wouldnt know if it's possible to extract the apk, i am sure many others would know.
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
copilot might run "fine" but does it do Fullscreen on the Xoom?

Like I said, Motonav only takes up about a quarter of the screen... by removing compat. mode with spare parts it'll stretch but prolly looks ugly ... is there an actual GPS navigation version (offline) that's made for the xoom yet?
[Xoom General] rlrbjr:
yes, full screen.
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
Awesome, I'll give it a go, thanks!

If you bring up Google Maps a notification should appear saying that your location was set by GPS.

yup, and offline gps apps like MOTONAV work just fine ... the GPS chip is very quick to catch a signal from 10+ satellites

One thing is MOTONAV isn't made for this big resolution...
