[General Questions and Answers] dtaylorjones:
So I've been using a totally great Dell XPS M1530 running Ubuntu 10.10 as a daily portable machine for a few years now but I'm getting a new uber PC for my birthday in the summer and I'm thinking of getting an Android Tablet aswell to replace the "portable-ness" of my laptop. I considered a NetBook running Mint or something but something about Tablet's just draws me in.

I have a HTC Legend running CM7 so I'm not new to the Android scene but I AM new to the Tablet scene. I want to get the "right" tablet because I regretted getting my Legend and wished I'd got a NexusOne instead. I don't want a repeat of that.

What Tablets should I look out for?

Any-body got any suggestions for me? I want something slick, elegant and well built, fast (1.2ghz dual core?) with a 10 inch screen.

I'd get an iPad but I just hate Apple's restrictions and I want something running Android.

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 looks good but Samsung's (Nexus S and galaxy tab) build quality is usually poor (cheap plastic and stuff).

What would you guys suggest? Is there anything amazing on the horizon that I'm unaware of?

That might be available in about October at the latest?

Thanks for your advice and sorry about the wall of text.
[General Questions and Answers] seven2099:
well if you want a 2.1 Ghz dual core one you'll be able to get the Motorola Xoom 3000: has 1 terabyte of internal SD2 (new format), 8 gb of RAM and is running Android 5.0 (Blue Grass) and of course will have a 2160p high definition 2 screen, made out of the tears of new born babies...

which is due to come out in 5 years.
[General Questions and Answers] dtaylorjones:
sorry typo should have said 1.2 lol. 2.1 that would be nice. for a moment i thought you were serious hahah. fixed it now.
[General Questions and Answers] paronnax:
Hi dtaylorjones

I took the plunge and bought a tablet a month ago - notion ink Adam - pixel qi, 3g.

It's a great piece of hardware. Fast, quality build, good camera, light, the pixel qi works well. Overall I'm happy with it.

The down sides are:

- the Eden UI still has a few bugs. I'm going to run Ubuntu anyway so not an issue for me. Ubuntu should be up and running over the next month.

- pixel qi is not the same as a kindle. Similar, but pixel qi is more for usage in the sun.

Thanks man.

Ive since decided to go with the Asus eee Pad Transformer.

[Desire Themes and Apps] aeggedeler:
Downloading. Will report when it's flashed :-)

Edit: it works. But It's too flashy for my taste :-) doesn't look bad though. Keep it up :-)
[Desire Themes and Apps] that.dude:
Very good idea & nice theme. I can't move away anymore from Redux anymore, so I'm really happy to see some good theme coming up (besides UOT and the great kitchen of daniel.mitran).

Good work. Thanks.
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
Update:

v1.1: colored bootanimation

I've got 34 downloads, thank you guys :)

but don't forget to give me feedback
[Desire Themes and Apps] Mystenes:
no offence but you have choosen ugliest colour i have ever seen in skins :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] os_sleepless:
Hi there,

i use it with sony fonts.

i like your theme very much an i am happy you created it for redux.

your new release with boot animation should be nice too, but i am

not a friend of boot animations. (but know how to remove it ;-) )

i wait for your updates and try them too.

hope you will do a theme for go launcher ex

graet work !!!!

regards

tommy
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
Choose a better color and my your own theme!

I will asap :)

Which aspect would you like to see themed?
[Desire Themes and Apps] os_sleepless:
do you know the espresso mod for leedroid for example ?

this one is my favorite theme, but it isnt actual for current 2.33 roms

i like black and blu themes like yours

what i wish to be better ?

the sms standard app (the apps from the market are too bad) should be

like the original sense with showing the hole text, not only one or two lines...

regards

tommy
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
I have 4 screenshots in the first post... they are uploaded on dropbox, don't know why you can't see them. Anyone else the same problem?

Thank you! Espresso is for sense and to shiny for my taste^^

I don't remember the HTC sms app... But i can think what you mean. If you are in the sms overview, then you see only one sentence for each contact, am i right? To see the whole sms would be really coding and my possibilities reaches only image editing and easy xml change like colors... Sorry mate :( But i am sure there is an sms app like this already!

Which system apps would you like themed?
[Desire Themes and Apps] dezz28:
Looking good i'll defently try it although i also love the green theme version made by Ihlades
[Desire Themes and Apps] franchu29:
i will try it

[Desire Themes and Apps] os_sleepless:
Hi again,

It should be nice to have the colours of the energy widget blue instead of green. It will fit perfectly into your theme i think...
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
Hi everyone,

You are certainly waiting for an Redux 1.2 update.

But it unfortunately it seems like that i've lost my theming skills :(

I'm unable to recompile the SystemUI.apk with the apk manager.

And i will have time to look at it first i a few days.

So please be patient :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Hafficci:
Congratulations, mate!!

The theme looks very cool!! I'm still on Redux 1.1.1, but as soon as I update, I'll try it, no doubt!! ;)

@Mystenes, mate, no offense, but your post is offensive itself. Just don't use the theme or at least, try not to be so rude. ;) Maybe another way to say that you don't like the colour would had suit better.

Keep up the good working, @affmalg, and don't worry, good wine needs its time, so do the good themes!! :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
Thank you mate :)

Updated to Redux 1.2

Sorry that it took some time but apk manager didn't work any longer and i had to learn a new tool. Big thanks to xavierjohn22.

As always please give feedback ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Hafficci:
I'm already trying NeoPhyte's Reflex S, but as soon as I come to Redux again, I'll check your theme, ok?? ;)

I knew you would find out how to "defeat" Redux 1.2!!! :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
I am to busy that i could switch the rom so often and Redux is working so fine :)

I will update with some more changes and some apps themed.

And please come back to Redux ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bertosch:
Hey your theme looks pretty cool. Can you compile it for the latest Redux Test Theme that would be awesome ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
Hi, nice that someone would like to have my theme.

I will update the theme and change it a little bit too.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bertosch:
That is great ;) I really miss the battery percentage :P
[Desire Themes and Apps] Erkan75:

I could post a "beta" if you want to try it out.
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
A first version of my updated theme is ready to download:

0045FF for Redux TEST 22.08.zip

Please try it and give feedback to me :) I will try my best!
[Desire Themes and Apps] Erkan75:
Great thx....
[Desire Themes and Apps] Erkan75:
No chance to install on redux2 test 2208!? The phone is running on oxygen r2 hboot. If I flash the package in recovery, it says done, but nothing has happend.

Now I unzipped the package and integrated the files from /system in the original rom package - also I deleted some apps he don't need. After that I flashed the whole modified rom again. Reboot takes now five times longer than before (most time on blue redux bootanimation) and is coming up without launcher ...

Anyone with better results?
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
The reboot takes longer because the whole ROM have to be installed and set up again. Which apps have you deleted?

I am running the theme with Oxygen r1 hboot and Redux test build lite and have 11mb free. So space shouldn't matter.

And when you first tried nothing changed? did it show the blue redux boot animation?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Erkan75:
I know the first boot takes longer, but the 4 reboots I did, took 3 to 4 minutes. I have flashed the normal rom, not the lite.

I deleted launcher2, email, news. Installed is GoLauncher. I tried to flash hboot n1 and cm7 r2, but nandroid restore wont work. Only with oxy r2 :(

The only way I see is to flash another hboot and make a fresh setup, but no time for this.
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
I would guess that you have with oxygen r2 hboot and the standard redux test build still to low memory for the theme. how much free space do you have on the system partition?

And launcher2.apk ist your stock android launcher. Afaik its necesserly for Android.
[Desire Themes and Apps] :
No it is not necessary! If you have a replacement...

But how did you include the go launcher apk into the rom? You have to be careful when using WinRar, that compression is --> only saving!
[Desire Themes and Apps] Erkan75:
Launcher2 is not necessary and I deleted it with tb.

I also think the problem is less space and therefore I deleted the apps. So there should be enough space. As I saw, the system_ui and framework is just a bit larger.

I have to check free space the time I have his phone here again...

Edit

I did not include golauncher in the rom. Installed out of the market and deleted launcher2 with tb.

That what I tried was to unpack redux2, overwrote system_ui, framework and fonts, deleted launcher2, email and news, zipped again and flashed over after wipe cache and dalvik.
[Desire Themes and Apps] adskankster:
Supported Versions?

Hi, I was waiting for this before I tried Redux 2, so thank you for making it.

Just a quick question though, I've downloaded Redux 29-08, and you currently say that it supports 22-08. Have you tried it with 29-08, does it work?
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
I haven't the time to try the newest build. But with a nandroid backup you just try it out. I will try it myself and as soon i have some time again update the theme. Some suggestions?
[Desire Themes and Apps] adskankster:
Okay, thanks for the reply. I haven't updated to v2 yet. I'll do it when I have some time and get back to you. Should be later today, or less likely, tomorrow.
[Desire Themes and Apps] paul8944:
I am Special....well I am a noob

Hi

I have tried flashing your theme with Redux2 Test 2908 and nothing seems to happen,

is it me doing something wrong or is this some further development needed to get this working.

sorry for the noobish question but if you don't ask you don't know.

Cheers

Paul :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] Erkan75:
Which hboot and which redux, normal or lite?
[Desire Themes and Apps] paul8944:
It is the normal Redux 2 and my Hboot is 0.93

thanks for your assistance
[Desire Themes and Apps] Erkan75:
Ok, but did you flash another hboot table? I ask, because I have the same problem with oxygen r2 table.
[Desire Themes and Apps] paul8944:
I haven't flashed a new hboot table, as I am still new to this so have not gone that far. Also the other uot update on the main redux 2 thread is not working , so am starting to think its compatibility with redux 2, any suggestions welcomed, thanks again
[Desire Themes and Apps] Erkan75:
TB says 15MB in system free. So space should not be a problem on son's phone. I also just tried to flash the theme 3 times and no errors, messages, but also no effect!?
[Desire Themes and Apps] paul8944:
Sounds the same as me, but I have 130mb free in my system and similar on internal according to TB. Guess we have to wait for an updated version. One thing I have noticed is the difference in file name 0045ff and 0054ff. Could this be the issue?
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
@paul8944 and Erkan75: You both have tried the theme (22.08. version) with the Redux 29.08 build? and it didn't work?

I can confirm that the 22.08. theme doesn't work with the latest build. You have to wait untill i have updated the theme.

I'm sorry :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] Erkan75:
That is very strange, because if you take a look in the update script, just 6 files should be overwritten, nothing more. So space should not be the problem...
[Desire Themes and Apps] Erkan75:
No, my son is still running on 2208...
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
Have you tried to flash a theme made with the UOT Kitchen? If not could you try? Because I do the first changes in the kitchen (lazy i know^^), then copy my images and do some more xml changes myself.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Erkan75:
Not yet, but I will try if my son and his phone are back..... not so easy with teenies :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] paul8944:
I have tried the uot theme from the main redux 2 thread but this won't work either, oh well will just have to wait until you get time to update for redux 2 2908 build, thanks for your help guys in giving a noob confidence in that it is not me being special! :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] paul8944:
@erkan75, there is a uot kitchen theme on the main redux 2 thread which worked fine with the 2208 build, have fun!
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
I got the UOT base with my images for Redux2 Test build 29.08 here :http://www.multiupload.com/FGXSTAIX6U. Make shure that you turn off the zip verification in the recovery because the zip ist unsigned and that Battery percentage is unchecked in the Interface settings.
[Desire Themes and Apps] paul8944:
Spot on, that worked a treat, thanks for you help. Here are a couple of shots of how it looks if anyone is interested. Thanks again
[Desire Themes and Apps] adskankster:
Got delayed testing the earlier release, and came back and found the new one.

Works great, many thanks.

Just one suggestion, sometimes the grey text in settings can be hard to read - esp. in wireless when adding a new access point. Might be worth making it a shade lighter?

No other issues yet. :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] adskankster:
Re-reading the post, I guess that this is a test build of the theme?

Anyway my only real issue with it so far is related to what I posted above - a lot of the menus' text is black on a black background. For instance the widget selection pop-up menu. It's still usable though (highlight enables it to be read), so I'll keep using it for now.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Erkan75:
Wow :) Now worked also for me - Redux2 2908 and the package above ... thx a lot!

But there's a new release Redux2 3108 .... lol
[Desire Themes and Apps] paul8944:
And I have flashed both this morning with no issues, apart from the dark text on black back ground making some options difficult to read, buts that's just a minor tweek required ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] adskankster:
Yes sorry to all, I forgot to say that I installed it over 31-08.
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
Yes, its just a test build. I know the issues because I'm using the theme myself. I just have to find the corresponding colors.

Ihlades is really fast :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
Hi guys :)

I just tested the latest build of my theme and it works fine with Redux2 Test 31.08.

I had to do a compromise with a font color which displays with either black or white background so the font color is now blue^^

Voila:

0045ff for Redux2 TEST 31.08.zip

I have added some new pictures in the OP

Please try it and leave a comment :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] adskankster:
Just flashed it and it looks good at first look. I'll play with it for a day or so and post back here.
[Desire Themes and Apps] paul8944:
Been running this theme for a couple of days now and can't fault it at present . If I do find something up I will let you know, but for now it is fine. Thanks for a good theme
[Desire Themes and Apps] adskankster:
Right well I haven't found anything bad - though not used the phone outdoors much last day or two so haven't done anything in bright light (not that there has been any). If that brings any issues I'll post back here.

All in all I like it a lot, very nice theme. :)

I quite like the fact that the Launcher Pro menu items under Settings aren't themed as it makes it obvious what's LP and what's Redux. I'm assuming that the LP stuff can't be affected by the theme, but if it can, please don't. ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] paul8944:
Been running this theme for a few weeks now and the only problems is in bright sunlight it difficult to read the different options to select when a menu is available. Apart from that it is spot on. Oh some different colours maybe good apart from that thanks for a spot on theme

Links are dead !!! Plz someone, I realy need this themes for Redux2 test. I hate that shi**y dark orange brown default color.
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
Ho, someone still using good old Ihlades Redux :)

Here is the new link: http://www.mediafire.com/?pbvz9cy99c1nra1

Respond if you have problem.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Gusta_HR:
Ty for your quick response, can you made it with stock font, because this is too tiny... and blue color is too darky, make it more ICS's .. :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
Sorry but i won't support this theme anylonger.

But you could try it on your own. Just look at the linked threats in the OP.

The best tool is the autoXDATool. My theme just changes the framework-res.apk and the SystemUi.apk. If you want to change the color. Decompile those two apk with the xdaAutoTool and look into the drawable-hdpi folders. Then you can edit the pictures with gimp. Make shure you have the Android sdk set up right.

Here have zipped the orginal fonts i think: http://www.mediafire.com/?zzore2s5mlt8w1m
[Desire Themes and Apps] Gusta_HR:
This is far beyond my free time and knowledge, but thanks anyway...

Edit.. how to change those fonts?

[Droid X General] jazaddict:
Is it possible to reroute the headphone jack via software so it behaves as line in?
[Droid X General] rudyy:
I would think it is possible because there are adapters that plug into the headphone jack that people use to charge credit cards.
[Droid X General] SharkBaitDave:
Ummm, doesn't the current setup support that already?

This one for instance,

http://www.thinkdroidxaccessories.com/motorola-droid-x-mb810-wired-headsets-3117.html

seems to be Mono sound + Mic; but I believe the Dx supports Stereo sound + Mic if you have the right Plug/cables.

Should just be a matter of making/finding the correct cable to work as a line in.

A little more information on what you are looking to do would be more helpful, recording from a wired input rather than built in microphones? Use your phone as a amplifier/speaker?
[Droid X General] jazaddict:
Well, I've been playin with 4-tracks lite and thought how nice it would be to be able to record some loops from another device. Then I got to thinkin about midi I/O as well thru the hdmi port or maybe the power port (hadn't asked that question yet

..thought I'd start small). Stereo isn't really necessary ...mono with panning is fine. I was toying with the concept of developing a nicely appointed music workstation app.

I have these brilliant ideas that turn into silly ideas after a nights sleep and the realization that software development will consume all my songwriter /production time. So thanks for the the tips...I was not aware of the mic portion of the hheadset...obviously proof of concept.

Hi! I cant get GPRS to work with my Norweighan Lebara refill. I simply cant find the settings ANY WHERE on their website! They have it set up so that if I want to have the settings I have to use a program called Featurebooster. But it doesnt work!

So I was wondering if maybe someone know the settings so that I can add them manually?

This is pretty frustrating :-D

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
It looks like every aspect on G2x is far superior than MT4, but one thing I still worry about is the calling quality.

Optimus T and Virgin don't have good call quality and the earpiece has some strange behavior, so this raises my concern. In addition, I'd like to know how is the speakerphone. It's poor on MT4, but speakerphone is exceptional on NS (this is a reason why I use NS more than MT4).

Now I'd like to know should I shell out $500 and get G2x and sell the "no defect" MT4?
