[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triddirt:
Did a search and didn't quite come up with the answers..

What items from Mesmerize are directly compatible with fascinate WITHOUT porting/recompiling...

I would think certain applications (games/tools - things not hardware dependent)

maybe boot animations.. not sure about startup/shutdown animations sounds..

Clearly NOT radios, kernals, ROMS

What about themes (do these need porting/alignment to ROM)..

Thanks
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
I think the only hardware difference is the radio, so everything is compatible that doesn't work directly with the radio. So, it'd be modem.bin, maybe the kernel (I think the Mesmerize is using Fascinate kernels with Froyo), and the framework within the ROM that handles radio stuff (SMS/MMS/Calls)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pirokosan:
I bet ya'll thought I let this die. Hope the mods don't cry necro. Anyways, I made a GO Launcher EX theme. I'll be uploading it to the market once I get some issues resolved. Mainly google wallet not servicing Puerto Rico devs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkQymya8-XY

*Splash screen*

Made 4 of them. You can see them here. Just rename to "PC36IMG.zip" without quotes and flash. I did it from the boot loader. (Not sure if it would work from recovery)

*Boot screen*

Made the boot screen from scratch, since i don't have any way of getting a decent quality copy of that image.

*Dialer*

The font I found that most resembles the numbers on the hardware t9 keys is AG Stencil. Wrote the numbers on photoshop and edited them to look **just like them** and my computer decided my work wasn't as important as restarting after a windows update...

*System Fonts*

Haven't gotten into it

*App Drawer/Desktops*

WILL BE TRICKY! Basically have the screen shown at 0:42 can be turned into either the app drawer or the desktop (like a full screen widget or a live wallpaper).

*System Icons*

+1500 Hours in photoshop/some are attached

*Animated Rainbow Highlight*

Making the gradient, easy. Having it animated on android... don't ask me how...

*Owl Screen Turn on 2:28 min*

Our phones can't do that...

*Roulette Widget*

Don't see myself using this but not opposed to helping make it.

Dude i'd love to but i'm going to need a little help. Know anything about boot/splash screens?

**edit**

Oh and i was looking at this to finish up the theme :3

hola yo hice un menu flash de evangelion nerv only y tengo las imagenes originales del celular que salio en japon si las necesitas y puedo ayudarte en algo lo podriamos hacer juntos gracias y saludos
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pirokosan:
Nice, I finished the boot screen but I can't get it to work. I'll attach it to the main post if anyone wants to take a look at it and tell me what's wrong.

I'm down with working together :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] LC_Nab:
Good job on the theme +1
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pirokosan:
The theme is by no means dead. I've been working on it. Right now I'm having trouble applying the images I've made. I tried using metamorph but for some reason when I try applying them the apps that are themed start force closing non stop. Also tried making it an ADW theme. Grabbed the template from github and followed the instructions of the tutorial (which are kinda vague) and I get errors that won't let me compile the sauce so I can make an APK and test it out. Anyone have adw themeing experience that could point me in the right direction?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DDiaz007:
Hmm, anyone can help this man out? Please with a cherry on top :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pirokosan:
Managed to get the theme working, but the changes don't apply! D: Srsly WTF!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] anjuice:
Hey this looks really good. How's the progress so far?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] alxrock:
I'm not 100% sure, but from the second pic I found on this website (http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1635223-SH-06A-NERV-closeup-photo-review), it might say "NERV ONLY Prohibit an outsider from using this terminal unit"

I hope it helps!

I've been keeping it pretty basic for a Gundam theme on my EVO! :P
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pirokosan:
Right now the deving's halted since:

1. I have no time cause of work and college.

2. I no longer have a 4G (upgraded to a 3d)

3. I'm still undecided on what theme engine to use (right now it's either miui or go launcher)

4. My computer's at my girl's place (so I can keep focused on number 1)

5. I have no idea wtf i'm doing.

If someone with themeing experience wants to help I'll gladly accept. What little experience I had with android themeing I've probably lost but i'm a quick learner.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pirokosan:
I found out later on but never updated the post. Decided to keep it this way cause it sounds "right". It's the way I see it on all the Air Force stuff. Thanks though, I really need a partner in this. Want the job? Also can you share the link to that Gundam theme? I <3 Gundam :p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] alxrock:
Yeah, I think the way you put it seems to work well. I wish I could help out, but I'm really new at this whole rooting/modding/theme thing. I've had a couple people here on xda help me out by making a splash screen and boot animation, and I made a wallpaper, but that's the extent of my theme so far (I haven't really found any icons that I liked). But hopefully I can learn more and help contribute to projects like this in the future. I have a lot of free time with my current job, so I'll definitely help out as much as I can.

Below is all my Gundam stuff I've been using so far:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pirokosan:
Wow that's really nice... Is there a port for the 3d? :3
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] alxrock:
Well these were made by a couple peeps here on XDA, but I'm sure if you ask around, someone can probably port them over for the 3D. :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pirokosan:
OK, so I finally got a theme made for go launcher ex, but for some reason I can't find it in the market. Anyone have any clue what might be the issue? :confused:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] alxrock:
is this your theme? Market Link?

If so, it looks great.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pirokosan:
YAY! You found it! Thanks :3
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MissionImprobable:
I have a boot animation I made from the NERV boot animation I found on Youtube. The guy who originally posted it wouldn't link it so I just ripped it in GIMP. I'll post it once I have the required number of posts to do so. Or you can head to you tube and look up Nerv 2 boot animation, I added a dropbox link there.

Edit: here's the link

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/42016407/bootanimation.ZIP
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pirokosan:
That boot screen looks bad ass! I had thought about animating the yellow warning lines on mine, but i had already made it and honestly didn't feel like redoing it. I just installed the one you made, it's really nice. If i get some time i'll try to make another one from scratch incorporating concepts from both. Btw, I haven't been able to get mine to work still. :/
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] eviltrain:
Is this project still on goin?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MissionImprobable:
Not on my end, but if I get to see what the boot animation looks like on the new NERV phone being released I may try to copy it.

hey guys I've just put the full review of the Desire S up on hemorrdroids.

You can find it here:

http://hemorrdroids.net/htc-desire-s-review/

I've done some benchmarks, and I've also tested it against the original Desire.

Hope you lot like it and hope it helps anyone looking to buy the Desire S.

Let me know what you lot think, thanks guys :D
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
nice review :)

but i have a doubt

why is the desire hd having a higher quadrant score than the desire S?
[HTC Desire S] xdaman85:
Yeh i'm not sure about it either, I ran the quadrant test so many times, and it never went higher than 1225. I find it odd, considering the Desire HD and Desire S share the same processor and gpu :confused:
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
very nice review! thank you! but may i know why you decided to keep the dhd over the desire s? i am considering between the 2!

can you also pls kindly do a comparison between the dhd vs Desire S in web browsing speed?

thanks for the great review! :D
[HTC Desire S] RogerPodacter:
Well the desire s is running gingerbread right? We know 2.3 shows a big decrease in performance and quadrant scores on the nexus one and other phones. Example, n1 on froyo hits 1650 easily, but on 2.3 gingerbread it only gets 1100 or so, sometimes 1200.

So the desire s runs 2.3 so this doesn't surprise me. Though with its better CPU I would expect it to be a bit higher.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
ah... i thought all android updates are meant to give it a speed increase and enhancements/optimizations :/ also the new sense ui is slightly heavier and will slow the phone down a bit.
[HTC Desire S] RogerPodacter:
They are, but gingerbread seems to be opposite for some reason. Reduced performance.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
hmm...that can be true

but linpac did give a higher score..

could it be that quadrant is not optimized for gingerbread ?
[HTC Desire S] RogerPodacter:
that's always possible, but quadrant and gingerbread have been around for a long time now. it seems to be across the board, i.e. cyan 7 or stock 2.3.3, always lower than froyo. i experience slower choppy scrolling and "chunky" lag on gingerbread, where froyo is just smooth as butter. so i just think something got borked in the newer code base. i just dont know...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Sora94:
Is there a way to run apps with higher resolution than the mini's without the fit screen problem?something like downscale or something? I know the answer is probably NO so if someone can tell me how to edit the res xml in the apk's res folder...
[myTouch 4G General] sunsean:
This is probably a lame thread, but maybe others have similar issues and we can whine about them, because we're lucky and can afford to waste time worrying about our homescreen setup on our smartphones, and not where our next meal is coming from. (wow, where did that come from?)

It's not in any way a development/tech problem, it's just aesthetics: I get so frustrated trying to find a cool wallpaper that still alows me to see the apps/widgets on my homescreens cleanly! I always wind up reverting to a semi-boring wallpaper like a black grid because with busier wallpapers of things I'm actually interested in, they clash so much with my homescreen items that I can't read half my widgets! So just curious as to how you all have your homescreen set up? Do you have a busy wallpaper with minimal apps/widgets? Or do you use a bland "backdrop" wallpaper so that you can see/use the apps/widgets cleanly? This has always been a peeve of mine, because both elements (wp and widgets) seem essential to customizing your phone, and yet it's so hard to get them to play nicely together for a clean, visually pleasing display.
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
I'm currently using Regina Launcher and have five independent wallpapers.

I just use a "blah" one for busy work spaces and use good one for lesser crowed screens.
[myTouch 4G General] Christopher3712:
That's actually not a bad topic. There are tons of images I'd like to use as a wallpaper but I run into the same problem you do. I always end up settling for something not as bright, so i can see my widgets/apps clearly. Recently though, i just started editing my images to a darker tint so the white lettering stands out. This brings up the concept of integrating text color editing into the existing top launchers.

hmmm...
[myTouch 4G General] darinmc:
The one stickied thread in the themes section has a whole host of options with both minimalist and "busy" wallpapers. Some just don't work well, but there are compromises. Its more about finding the right Widgets/launcher to compliment your style.
[myTouch 4G General] sunsean:
Yeah, I know, it seems like a silly thing to complain about, you just gotta make it work however fits your tastes/needs. And you're right, the launcher is a big part of it, I've been using stock sense since getting the phone, but finally decided to try a replacement for various reasons, and I'm loving launcher pro plus, it's got many of the sense-type widgets, plus they work better lol, not to mention the dock and other things. Between that and a little finagling, I think I've found something that works.
[myTouch 4G General] kalel33:
If you use ADW then you can change the background box to whatever color and transparency you want to. I do this for some of my wallpapers so that the icons stick out.
[myTouch 4G General] sunsean:
Thanks for the tip! But honestly, I think I'm sticking with Launcher Pro Plus, I spent the $ already, and it's the only replacement I've tried that can truly top Sense, IMO.
[myTouch 4G General] SoltyPK:
I tend to use brighter more vibrantly colored wallpapers and i run into this issues once in a while. But i usually just place icons and widgets around the spots that make things hard to read or add a shaded box behind the widget.
[myTouch 4G General] darinmc:
And considering the amount of time we spend on our phones, it's pretty easy to remember what icon are for what apps. I stopped displaying names a long time ago. Now I even use icon sets not made for android and just use random icons for apps that in some way relate to them.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charles77:
I am using quickoffice (paid app) and it is pretty easy with that app.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wd5gnr:
There are several options:

1) Web based. Use the browser (I use Opera Mobile which is very capable) and do Google Docs, Thinkfree, Zoho, etc. Some of these might not work or be very hard to use on the tablet.

2) goJimi's site has a ported copy of Quickoffice or you can buy it in the market. It works ok particularly with graphic content, although not as polished as some alternative.s

3) Documents To Go (DTG) is the "gold standard" although I have not had good experience with it for PPT because it basically just shows pictures but (as far as I can tell) doesn't really let you manipulate them. Good integration with Google Docs, etc. though.

4) There is also Office Suite Pro, Olive office, and Thinkfree apps on the market.

Have not tried these.

Hi

Got a little problem for a while now the first way i helped my way worket but not long so mey be one of u know how it work better.

From time to time my tab just says sim is not put in bit if i remove it it reboots cus i "removed sim" so the is be notivied. First i found out that it could be my sim cus i used in my old phone and it was hot a bit from the connectors in it and i should use a strip of "tesa" on the back so that it is better connectet. It worked for a while now the problem came back again when i driving car an its on the samsung-cardock it is sometimes gone or better the sim.

Do i have to reorder a new one or is it a prob of my tab? When it is the tab i`ll have a prob cus its rooted so no garanie o_O

well i'm having the same problem but... as i accidentally "uninstalled" the "call" app after i rooted my SGT... my SIM just couldn't be detected... i'm wondering if anyone knows how to fix this problem...

btw i'm an android noobz... :(
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sh:
neither me :D

you can just try to flash another modem if that didn't fix it , i think its problem with your tab or the simcard , did you try another simcard to check whether the problem with it or with the tab ?

how in earth you removed Call app ?

did you put it back or no ? ?

if not tell me which rom you are in and i'll upload the app for you ( gingerbread ) or froyo ?

and you can check my above answer to see if that help you guys or no
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruuuzy:
no sim card or does´nt read sim card

should anyone find that they have a problem with sim card (not reading) i would strongly advise that you seriously consider that it may well be the conexion in the tab.

it was driving me crazy, but i was determined, and eventually chose to desmantel the device. where i was able to see the false conexion in the sim card holder. i tried to straighten it and it broke off, the next step would be to change the sim card hold which requires soldering (in a fairly delicate place) and i havent got a clue.at the moment i have put a bit of tin foil on the sim card (bridging) so that it connects and it is doing just fine. this post is especially for those who are certain that they have unlocked the carrier network so that they are able to rule out that cause. (sorry about the grammar).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llewyn:
The following post from another forum may be of interest to you in how to reinstall the call app you speak of. The poster is talking about loss of gmail application but it may apply to your situation:

Okay so after I posted this, I talked to one of my software developer friends who is also and Android freak. He told me that any application that linked to google is probably causing the problem. The only application that fit that description was Talk and talk Provider. I extracted the Talk and Talk Provider files from my .zip file, and put them in the "download" folder on the Vibrant's internal memory (NOT THE MICRO SD CARD!). Then I used the Vibrant to access this website: http://www.lysesoft.com/products/andexplorer/index.html and downloaded the "AndExplorer" file manager from the website, NOT the Android Market (remember, my android market was not working). I used AndExplorer File Manager to open and install Talk.apk and TalkProvider.apk. I also reinstalled Swype.apk. Rebooted the phone and VIOLA! Problem fixed.

I have found no issue with removing the battery cover or sim cover. Just sayin. Its a little exaggerated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
I've had no issues either. I can see the possibility of these covers breaking. (The tabs I mean) ...But one would have to be careless with the removal and install. I've only had to pull my battery once, and no issues at all with the cover.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zuriken:
Maybe they're worried about accidentally cracking their screen by pushing too hard in the wrong spot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Well, the first one or two times is no picnic...it definitely feels like your applying enough pressure that, if inadvertently displaced to a more delicate part of the phone, could damage it.

After a few times of doing it successfully, however, the cover starts to loosen up a little, making it easier to do as time goes on.

Not to mention, its all in the technique. NOT using that little "fingernail slot" that's on the cover (it's too shallow and positioned off-center to provide adequate grip), but instead sliding your fingernail in between the volume button rocker and the cover, gives you a better shot at success.
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkside1904:
How did you know I am a weak girl.

;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
If you got yours recently, or within the past few weeks like I did - HTC addressed and fixed the battery cover issue.

How do I know this? On the first inspire I had that I got on the launch day, the battery cover was already on the phone, which meant we had to struggle to break it off with a small screwdriver in the store. I never took it off again after that, but the initial removal was a B----.

The second one I got a few weeks ago had the battery cover in its own little plastic bag, in the box - OFF of the phone. All you had to do was pop in the battery and then press on the cover in the store.

Since then I had to do a few battery pulls when I made the mistake of not wiping the dalvik cache for some roms (I do it all the time now). The first time I removed the cover for this phone was MUCH easier than the first time I removed it on my first inspire.

Long story short, HTC fixed the struggle, and you probably have a post-fix device. It's a good thing - I'm not trying to put a damper on your manliness.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
I purchased mines on launch. The initial battery pull was a PITA. After that it's really easy.

makes sense... mine was in a plastic bag seperate.
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
Yeah, I was relieved when I saw it was in the box and not on the phone. The first one I mangled pretty good in the Radioshack where I bought it at, which really sucks. I'm really glad they fixed it - and it is still plenty snug enough to not worry about it ever popping open.
[HTC Inspire 4G] FirefighterDown:
Its really easy to do. I can dissemble the phone without problems. Dunno why people are moaning, it's quite easy and snaps into place without problems.

[HTC Inspire 4G] booty hater:
If you just put your fingernail right where the little clips are(you can see them when the cover is off) its very easy and doesnt usually offer much resistance or feel like its going to break.

It was a bit tedious at first taking the battery cover off, but after one time, you get the hang of it, and it's not terrible. I'd much rather have it a bit harder to open than exceedingly easy just for peace of mind I suppose.

The SD card cover is a breeze though.
