New User - Very Impressed

I'm one of the roughly 10k people who bought a gtab a couple weeks ago off woot.com and I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed with the community, and your work in particular. I'm running Vegan 5.1.1 and now this launcher, it's a very effective combo.

I did have issues with a couple of my input methods after switching to this launcher. The keyboards would just show up as blank areas which would lock open after I tried to open them a few times. I was coming from LauncherPro so IDK if that had anything to do with it but a quick "clear data" on each did the trick.

Perhaps the wrong place to ask, but does anyone know if I can make "custom shortcut"s for the |Back << | Play/Pause >|| | Next >> | and Mute <X functions to add to the newly enlarged dock area? (Being a newb) I figured it'd be a simple matter of finding the command and linking it to a shortcut, but it's baffled me so far. ATM I have a custom widget on each workspace to do this, and probably eating alot of resources for no real reason.

Kudos on the launcher and thanks in advance for any input^^

I need some help. I messed up the default keyboard and its a big and ugly white keyboard now. How can I get the original one back?
[Android Apps and Games] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Try this:

https://market.android.com/details?id=net.cwfk.ig88.mediakeys&feature=search_result
[Android Apps and Games] stilgar27:
Sounds like you might have accidentally selected NI keyboard. Quickest way to get back is hit the search button, and press in the search field like you were going to type but hold it for a second or two. When you release an option should come up that says "input method" and from there you should be able to re-select android keyboard (or whatever you were using before).

If the android keyboard got corrupted instead somehow you can clear it's data through settings > applications and hopefully that will help.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twfbnc:
Ok so I have updated to ed01 and rooted my fascinate. Everything seems to be working ok except now when I try to connect my xoom or ipod touch using the WIFI Tether 3.0, it disconnects the 3g. Usually I have a red and green arrow under the 3g icon, but if I have wifi tether on, a dim "D" is under it instead, now I can connect to the wifi tether from both these items but they give me errors saying "NO internet connection" Has Verizon put some sort of block in the rom???. Also if I open the browser or market on my phone the 3g signal activates again, but still no internet to my xoom or ipod touch.:confused:
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Tech_Ninja:
Wondering Same thing.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe_knowitall:
Ihad to turn on wifi tether, then turn it off. Power down my phone and power it back up and tether worked.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gthirty6ptime:
I'm having same problem but with my dell studio 15. Odd thing is my HTC Eris that's not activated anymore connects to my fascinate using wireless tether. I updated my WiFi drivers and it still won't connect WiFi to my pc. I'm gonna try on ny work laptop tomorrow. I'll keep you updated.
[Vibrant General] ZombiiBite:
Just wondering if everyone would like to share their setup of their using this app to give ideas and show the capabilities of it's awesomeness, thanks :D
[Vibrant General] jeffhbo:
this is a good idea. Why am i the first to reply? I think it would be awesome to have a place where everyone could share their mtpref files and post pictures showing what they look like. That way people could build upon what others have created. I think it would be a good way to get the creative juices flowing. OP, you should think about creating this thread in the android themeing section. General thread for a specific device? no wonder im the first to reply...
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Two of mine from this week:

.

The only thing needed were the wallpapers: @KeithSwisher & @Romanbb

If you touch cookie monster's mouth, circle launcher loads 20+ apps.

And the App: Simple Text (get this if you like text icons).

Did not use the app mentioned in the OP... but I prefer this.
[Vibrant General] jbulluck:
Minimalistic Text

I too, think this is an excellent idea and I'm really surprised there hasnt been more responses. Whats up community?

I just purchased a new Xoom 4G upgrade version and I am searching for setups to get some ideas from all you great peeps. If anybody knows of some good sites to check out that would be great...or of course start posting some Minimalistic screens here would be even better. :)

For some reason, the Camera function on my G2X no longer works. It worked a few times previously, but now every time I launch the screen flickers and nothing launches.

Persists across reboot. Cleared data on the camera app, want to avoid wiping the phone if possible.

Anyone run into this, before, or know a fix?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baldwinguy77:
Haven't run into this problem myself but you could try downloading an alternate camera app from the market to see if that works. If it does, you may have to factory reset your phone. If it doesn't, it may be the hardware(the camera itself).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zoman7663:
I noticed this problem as well, after rooting the phone. I'm not sure if it was an issue before that or not. But what I found is that if you rotate the phone into landscape mode and then open the camera app it works fine. Only trying to open it in portrait caused me any issues. Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Casao:
This is ridiculous.

Yet true.

I'll be resetting my phone tonight to fix the battery drain, hopefully this will be resolved at the same time. But this definitely worked, so I can test out this camera some more while I wait. Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] djcense:
I had this issue too. Try opening while in landscape. Once open switch to portrait then close while in portrait. You should be able to open on portrait after.

Edit: This only works some of the time
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vinnyjr:
Has anyone figured out the camera issue? I had my camera working fine, I rooted the phone and now the camera just flickers around the button. Must have this camera working.

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vinnyjr:
Had same issue, as you noted the reset solved my problem, camera is working AOK. I would have hated to loose the camera function, it is a good camera.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vinnyjr:
2nd phone that my damn camera stopped working after about 15 minutes. I didn't root this phone to make sure that wasn't the issue. The camera worked after I did a factory wipe, got it all set up and was taking pictures while I was setting it up to make sure it wasn't a rogue app. Thought I was in the clear and tried to take a picture and nothing. Same problem everyone else is having. just wiped the phone again for the 3rd time and camera works, going thru same process, can anyone give me any advice on this camera. Very strange and getting real pissed off. :mad:

Vinny
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vinnyjr:
I use anylock to bypass my lock screen so when I get a text message (ssm popup) It will open up my screen automatic and display text message. This way I'm not always pushing my power button to gain entry to phone. Problem is the lock screen app is some how screwing up the camera app. Also tried no lock and same problem.

Just wanted to let anyone using lock screens what I encountered, maybe save you hours of resetting phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bls2633:
Mine was doing the same thing and I was about to blame it on Pauls patch. It turned out to be widget locker. I froze it in Titanium and then it came on with no problem. I was really close to wiping AGAIN. Really glad I saw this. Thank You

[Tutorial] Make your own custom rom

​

Hay guys i made a easy interactive video on how to make your own custom rom..

Here some of you do not know how to make one, this one is for them

[YOUTUBE]vsxPfZ76Rrw[/YOUTUBE]​

The video is 100% complete!

So please do not start hate speech here..We are here to share knowledge/work than just picking on each other.

And also special thanks to Dark Lestat for everything.:)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
Simple Steps:-

Flash the rom you want as base(Stock JPM,JPF etc..)

Deodex the rom(optional)

Root your phone

Apply live wallpaper Mod(optional)

Remove un nessasory apps(optional)

Add custom theme(replace the framework n tw framework)

When done Type this command in adb

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs

And wait for 10 min(max)

**MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SD CARD INSIDE BEFORE TYPING THE COMMAND ABOVE**

Then go to sd card and there must be a new file called factoryfs.rfs

Now copy the factoryfs.rfs file from sd to PC.

Now open the .tar file of the base rom which you flashed before,using Total Commander.

Replace the factoryfs.rfs from the base to the one which you just made in sd.

Then close Total Commander and flash your custom made rom using odin.

If any failure then start form step 1 again! And this time stick to the procedure.

Can u pls make a tutorial on "[How to] port themes and applications"
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
i can show how but not completely show how to port the whole theme because there are many pngs to resize and its not possible to finish them all in one video...

But as i said i can show how to compare and resize, well thats if you'll want
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jazux:
hmmm... thats from my thread... :p i was just going to do a different thread abt this...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
yeah i saw haree post on your thread and that gave me all this idea :p
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jazux:
ok.... this IS NOT hate post! but i replied to haree´s post that i will do it, so why did you do this if you knew i was going to make one? :confused: :confused:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
i did not just do it for xda but my YouTube channel also and would you do it as i did? videos ways?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jazux:
no but my idea was to expand my tutorial on time, maybe videos who knows (nobody now :( )... still if i already said ill do it then why??? sorry but i just dont understand you... :very-very-confused-face,maybe-a-little-sad-too:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
dont need to get sad dude, you can still make another one...

Explain it your way(maybe better than what i did)

And there is nothing like reserved thread idea or something like that ?

You could have at least reserved a thread for it..

Anyway there is no one stopping you on xda,dont get upset you can still do it if you want

and about making video guides i make them even before i joined xda..no point there but just telling
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jazux:
you know what? just forget it... i think i will never understand you :rolleyes:

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] soulstaker:

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] haree:
hi

as i saw that u had given a tute inside ur rom thread i had given the suggestion:D

that was all and nothing stopping u even right now:D from doing the same people have different kind of understanding and may be ur tute will be more usefull to others who like reading and feel they understand better reading and they might still come here and still see the video that way both of u are helping the forum to have some more good developers like u guys :D:D

ill add this to the roll up thread :D

tnx

hari
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
Oh, sorry. Didn't know critics are not allowed in xda forum... thread ignored...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] osbozzy:
Tht'd be greatl :)

Or may be a hand written tutorial would also do
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
ok then

its nothing but comparing the png of the theme you want to port, just compare the png's of an sgs theme for example to a sg3 JPM theme then just see the png names and look for the similar function on sgs theme which you wanted to port and smaller the resolution as sg3, then just replace the png with the one you just resized.

Continue this till you get all the pngs.

When done open the .apk with winrar or 7zip but do not extract or unpack then just delete while in archive and replace the new png you just resized in the archive.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
thanks dude :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] anant.0097:
hey in case of porting a theme or anything...... is resizing the pngs the only thing to do??? or does it involve any programming too??
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
only resizing the png...no programming is required i guess..

It would be better if you conform form arunmcops or lestat as they have ported some themes and have more xp abt it
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] anant.0097:
thanks.... i'll sure do....
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] reddead66:

None of em useful?

2) If none of em useful to us, i guess we hav to do it teh hard way resizing teh png's.

I guess we have to decompile the apk, edit the Png's, re-compile and then resign.. right?

But There are so many folders in teh framework-res.apk which's got teh .png files.. There's

drawable

drawable-en-mdpi

drawable-land-mdpi

drawable-ldpi

drawable-mdpi

drawable-nodpi

in teh framework.apk

and

drawable-land-mdpi

drawable-ldpi

drawable-mdpi

in teh twframework-res.apk which's got teh PNG files,

which one do we hav to edit?

3) How do we check teh resolution of an image file?

And Resize as in teh object which is in teh PNG file or teh file size of teh PNG file?

4) How can we port teh applications? Like if we hav to use the dialer from some other model, can we use it as it is or do we hav to do some changes in it?

5) How can we change teh build number? (Check out teh screen shot)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Y0RGI:
@rudolf895

Great tutorial, thanks for it.

I've go two question:

1. After you de-odex apps, you copy them to SD and then copy it to /system/app.

Why don't you just use "adb push" ?

In that way you can save time on skip copy files to SD card.

2. Are "missing files" which we have to download fit for all stock ROMs or only one specific?

EDIT:

Ok, nevermind.

I checked that by myself.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dabhirahul:
Nice tut...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hodostamas:
interesting..

replaced orig apps with deodexed.. then rebooted, and it has bootloop.. pressed power button long, restart, and now its ok, booted. :)

Hi!

I flashed my phone with stock JPM. Deodex the rom, works fine. Flashed fugumod 2.2 and now I can't root my phone. SuperOneClick stop waiting for device ...

What can I do?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jazux:
stock JPM is pre-rooted... so no need to root :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] bende.laszlo:
I know but after de odex not rooted.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
yes the su app is removed so its better to re root :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] osbozzy:
The first boot after u de-ox your ROM would be a lil slow..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
1>none can be used as its not capable with our png sizes

2>yes sadly hard way is the only option, and you have to resize all the mdpi &l ldpi folders

3>its actually very easy,use Photoshop to resize them and see the resolution of image by right click properties(windows) or there is another easy way(windows 7) just click on the image and look at the bottom, see the picture for better understanding.

4>yes we can port app and many have it would be better if you ask them how.

5>built number can be changed by editing the built.prop via word pad/notepad using a computer
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
about the push command, i dont know i'm asking can we push files in bulk from pc?

if so how?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] bende.laszlo:
OK but SuperOneClick dont work just write waiting for device ...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
are you doing it right?,

Power off

click root

power on

Also try

Turning off antivirus

removing unnecessary usb connections

try using a diffrent port
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] haree:

hey rudolf.. nice tutorial..

can you tell us, how to add the power extension [reboot download recovery] and how to change lockscreen [android lock] and the 5 lockscreen mod [samsung, android, epic, rotary, gingerbread] ? it would be nice, because i am tryting to create my own rom..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jazux:
you have to extract the android policy.jar and framework.jar from ROM that supports them.... heres link to download --> http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PKHVA57W download that and put those in /system/framework

p.s your ROM has to be deodexed ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] :
already deodexed ;)

i am using the xwjpf firmware, is this compatible with that? oO

a nice tutorial how to change them would be nice.. i want to know, what i am doing :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
its actually easy just copy/push the file to system/framework using root explorer or using adb push
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jazux:
check my new thread in dev section!!! ;)

you can use ddjp2 also, but you´d eventually have to port themes over, since the frameworks may be different

yes you can

Any tutorial on porting? ?

I need those awesome themes on ddjp2....

Sent from my GT-I5801
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
First try if they do work eventually. If not you'd have to use apktool to decompile framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from both, ddjp2 and the desired theme and move the folders drawable, drawable-ldpi and some more i don't know now from theme to the ddjp2 framework and then recompile... i know its a little complicated, but its not even half the work than porting a sgs theme
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] osbozzy:
I don't think we hav to resign the apk if we jus extract Res folder, edit PNG's and then replace the edited Res folder with the stock one inside teh apk file.

Or do we hav to resign it?
