My $0.02:

For a guy who love to tinker but doesn't want to spend a lot of cash-o-la, the NC is awesome. Even if I had unlimited funds, I would still get a 7" tablet. 10" (like the girlfriend's Viewsonic Gtablet) is too big, and the speed difference between our processor and a tegra for what I do (PDFs, surfing, etc) doesn't really come into play (I am overclocked at 1.2 GHz, however). If you want to play HD vid (on a non HD screen?), or want HDMI out or a full sized usb port, get something else).

This is the best community I've found on XDA, and the developers here are nothing short of amazing.

As mentioned earlier, you can get a NC for $180 on ebay. It's tough to beat. Then again, I have a desktop for CFD, a laptop for portable power, and a NookColor for accessing stuff on the fly. I couldn't justify spending $500+ (give or take) on a Android tablet when I could buy a laptop that could do a lot more and still get a NC for the same price.
[Nook Color General] OGPI:
Well the issue isn't money although I am a very frugal/ value conscious individual. Like I said I have a HP touchpad but I plan on returning it cause of the size; which I feel instead very portaboe, and due to me being so deep into android that I'm not extremely interested in webos. I got a great deal on the touchpad but I like to get the most enjoyment out of my time and from the capabilities of the NC I've seen on YouTube it is a tempting device regardless of price. My only fear is that it will soon be a forgotten device like I see happening to my HTC evo. Thanks for all your input.

i have had a major problem with this for days.

I was soft bricked and i couldnt figure out how to go to the download mode screen. however after a users comment i learned that on some phones it may be in download mode but just not show it. so just follow the steps to put it in download mode and just connect to odin and fire away. (make sure to have the pit file and pda file). i hope this helps!

also i noticed it worked everytime i took my sim card out so theres some word of advice if you have not done so.
[Vibrant General] nevrlow:
Also if your familiar with adb you can just open command prompt and type adb download

Meaning of Ideos

For interest:

The name "IDEOS" embodies creativity and inspiration: the "ID" represents the industrial design-centric hardware platform, the "OS" represents the operating system as the core software platform, and the "E" symbolizes the evolution to mobile Internet.

From Huawei press release on launch of the original Ideos on 2nd September 2010.

a fried buy a blade gen2 with android 2.2 i unlock it to 512 and flash it with 2.3.leaked rom V880-GingerLeak-V2.5.1-eu-fix2 and Ginger Stir Fry Beta 19 the problem is that phone can locate satellites ,it just ligths the gps icon and can't locate , on ndrive it gives me gps:no status (i left it for an hour outside but nothing) any suggestions is there any way to be a hardware problem how can i check it ?
[Blade General] slashdotted:
You can try to check if it gets some satellite signals using the GPS Status app (available in the market)
[Blade General] xmdroid:
Have you tried a diferent rom like cynogen 7,try it and if the problem still happens i think the a gps fix for the blade,do not rush and install these kind of patches.Search for it.
[Blade General] carden12:
can you tell me how did you unlock it to 512
[Blade General] lepidas:
The Ginger Stir Fry 19 was tested on my zte blade two weeks ago and had no pronlems finding gps signal,it was fastet than the factory rom.perhaps you try the gsf 25

[Blade General] unrandomsam:
It depends whether you are on gen2 or gen1.

And don't do it on a chinese blade (V880 or X880)

Any of the gen1 -> gen2 old style TPT's will unlock 512MB

or going through the windows flasher process (which gives you a gen1 oemsbl / partition.mbn) will also do it.

Try using different app for searching location...

Thanks & like i said before this looks great :)
[Android Themes] pendo:
Hey thanks for the kind words everybody. It does mean a lot and keeps me encouraged to keep trying new things.

I didn't know anyone used that app lol

I normally do take requests, and this is not a 'no,' but I have a couple other projects that I probably should give some attention before I start a new one.
[Android Themes] chris6278:
Would one of those projects be what we discussed awhile back? Lol just playin dude take ur time i know ur busy
[Android Themes] rel500:
one thing im noticing about the "themed" markets is that there is no option for bill to mobile... dont know that it could be..

I was running a black themed market and no carrier btm, reverted to 2.3.6, which updated to the newest market and the option was there

flashed this market and its missing again....

hmmm... i flashed original market 3.0.27 and some apps dont give me the option.. could it be app specific??
[Android Themes] avvgopal:
It looks great on my Galaxy5.

Thanks
[Android Themes] pendo:
I don't think I'll be working on any other's right now. If theming is something you do, then I invite you to decompile mine and see the methods of my madness. :p Besides the editing of png's, I can tell you that I try to anchor as much xml theme work as I can in styles. This minimizes the amount of layout xml that I have to edit. I also try to avoid editing the manifest if at all possible which minimizes potential UID issues. Thankfully in this one I could work around the manifest.

If you do decompile it and have a specific question, I'll be happy to answer (hopefully I'll know the answer, lol)
[Android Themes] pendo:
I have this option. I definitely remember it, too as I had issues with the popup text, lol. Once you click the price button of an app, it will have your default payment method in a spinner dropdown. Press in the spinner and you'll get a popup to select payment method.
[Android Themes] rel500:
Some apps give me the option and some don't. I think its the apps or something because same thing happened on stock market. Oh well. Awesome job btw!!!
[Android Themes] damngood98:
do you have any plans to do red/green/blue transparentcy like you did with the old market? just curious.....this was really great to find btw, thank you! ;)
[Android Themes] pendo:
I would've liked to, but I couldn't really come up with any great ideas to that effect. Especially since one of my primary design goals was to retain all the dynamic color features from the stock version. I really like the color coded sections, and I don't want to lose that added touch.

What I would've really liked to do was to color coordinate the buttons, download progressbars, and loading spinners to each section as well, but I haven't figured out how I could exactly do that yet. Another thing I could do would be change some of the smaller items like the review stars, radio buttons, buy buttons, and maybe make a new color/version of the progressbars. Except I would want to keep the "decline" buttons red like I have now.

I might try some of those things at some point, but as I mentioned there's a couple other projects I should give a little attention to first.

And THANK YOU for the kind words sir. Very much appreciated :)

[Android Themes] MrEpic:
When u say the link is the "themed apk only"...exactly what does that mean...thanks in advance?
[Android Themes] pendo:
Not at this time, sorry.

In the first post, there is an attachment at the bottom. It is my themed Market by itself, not in an update zip. I attached this since the mount system command in my updater script won't be compatible with all devices. Therefore, it is the "themed apk only."

In the second post, I linked to the stock version of the market in case people want to revert....it is in an update zip. I suppose I should also attach just the apk there as well. Stock Vending.apk is attached to 2nd post now.

Clear things up?
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
hey man i recently downloaded this for my theme here--> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1145714 & i really really want an all white or red font version of this, is there any way you could hook a mofo up??? pretty please......:rolleyes:

P.S. I'd prefer both versions bc i have also recently joined up with ACS & plan on making a triple theme debut when i release my themes on the ACS forums, which of course will also be on good ole' XDA. I really really want this version of the new market, but i have no idea how to edit xml's...SMH :( So any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Themes] pendo:
That's actually a pretty tall task there. At least to do it right. I spent so much time on this I really can't remember the specifics, but I know that the text colors on 3 different pages (the categories page, top paid, & top free) are tied in with their "sections" color. It would take a bit of trial and error to get it right I think, and even then you might end up with a less than perfect solution.

My suggestion would be to spend some time learning this yourself. Not trying to preach or anything, but it really is worth it. Here's a great guide to get started with, written by some pretty well known guys around here :)
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
Is that a xml or .9.png or do both hafta be changed

Sent from the Trans-Epic Express
[Android Themes] pendo:
Text colors will always be in an xml (unless they're part of an image).

OK...I'm gonna help you out a little here. Are you familiar with styles.xml? In the manifest most of your activities call the theme FinskyTheme. So open styles.xml and you'll find FinskyTheme towards the bottom:

<style name="FinskyTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@color/loading_background</item>
<item name="android:ratingBarStyleSmall">@style/FinskyRatingBarSmall</item>
</style>

Now, what I'd suggest is to change the listed parent to a new theme you create. As a small example, you could do this

<style name="FinskyTheme" parent="style/[B]YourThemeName[/B]">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@color/[B]your_new_background[/B]</item>
<item name="android:ratingBarStyleSmall">@style/FinskyRatingBarSmall</item>
</style>
<style name="[B]YourThemeName[/B]" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar">
<item name="android:windowShowWallpaper">true</item>
<item name="android:colorBackgroundCacheHint">@null</item>
<item name="android:attr/textColorPrimary">@color/[B]your_new_text_color[/B]</item>
<item name="android:attr/textColorSecondary">@color/[B]your_new_secondary_text_color[/B]</item>
</style>

The bold terms you'd replace with what you're actually using. Now anything that calls ?android:textColorPrimary, etc will be using what you just made in styles rather than what's in framework-res. Remember there's a general colors.xml file that's in the res/values directory along with styles, and then you have the res/color directory. The color files in there will usually be in state lists. Say for like a button that has one text color normally, then another when pressed.

So for an all red text, you could add

<color name="red">#ffff0000</color>

to colors.xml then in styles, you would change the your_new_text_color to say red.

That is just a simple/abbreviated example of how to manipulate styles for theming. :)

Now, while you have colors.xml out, you'll notice that there are several colors that are for different texts. Just edit the hex values to the color you wish.

That should give you a decent start on the text color part. :)

nice looking theme.

[fixed]Altho this market seems faster then the stock market(kinda odd) it is not transparent on my phone. i am now wondering if my phone is HDPI after all...i was sure it was i have a telus Samsung fascinate wich is pretty much the 19000...i have used HDPI stuff before and always worked fine....i have MIUI 1.8.12. had no options to uninstall updates for market before copying the apk using root explorer...is it just my phone or something i can try to fix this??[/fixed]

Nevermind i figured out that it has been working all this time but my background was 2 plain for me to notice. Great mod. thank you for sharing.
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
i have never edited an xml... im not sure i can, i cant even de-re-compile to edit .9.pngs ive tried numerous times & apk manager errors all the time & im unable to read apk tool in cmd window, so im completely lost on all this...
[Android Themes] pendo:
??? Like this?
[Android Themes] pendo:
Nothing against apkmanager, I've tried it a few times and I guess I can see the appeal. I prefer to use apktool itself directly from terminal.

As far as terminal....I'm not exaggerating this either....I had NO, nada, zip, zero experience with command line until I rooted my N1 last June. A couple months later, I wanted the circle battery so I went about trying to learn apktool. While a deeper understanding of apktool doesn't come overnight, you can learn the basic operations in pretty short order.

But learning apktool is only part of your problem. It sounds like even if you were given a perfectly clean decompiled apk, you wouldn't know how to work with xml. I could help you a bit with apktool, but you should read up a bit on what the xml files are doing in android. This page is a good place to start, and definitely look at the links regarding the various resource types.

Pm me if you'd like a little bit of help with apktool itself.
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
Ya you got it man since I've had no luck with either I haven't attempted to try xml or smali. So apktool don't run in command it runs in like say the run.bat in the one click root that's the "terminal" right??? I'm still abit noobish but I learn quick as hell I've only been theming for a few months & I do have kinda good knowledge of what xmls do but not smali @ all... I really wanna learn em but I think I'm missing something with using apktool, I downloaded it & the windows helper for it & extracted em to the same folder & I opened the cmd window typed in the command to access it & it says path not valid or found or something like that... these instructions are followed word for word where I downloaded apktool. So that's my first problem to overcome...

[Android Themes] pendo:
Smali edits are a whole different beast. I do not know much about that at all. I've only recently been able to make a couple smali edits of my own creation. Prior to that I was just following instructions I've found from others. It made a little more sense to me after taking an into to programming class.

You must have the the program located in a directory that's included in your path. Otherwise you will need to type in it's absolute path when using it. For instance, if you unzipped it in C:\Users\greenmuggy then you could call it like

C:\Users\greenmuggy\apktool.bat

But it's preferrable to add that directory to your path variable. Then you don't have to type the absolute path, you can simply type apktool.bat no matter where you were at in command. Here's some simple instructions I found for editing path variable in win7.
[Android Themes] greenmuggy:
I have xp not 7 & have never used 7...lol does that make a difference what the path will be called?

[Android Themes] pendo:
I'm pretty sure it's the same procedure. And the term "path" means the same thing no matter what os you're on.

I've played with Vista just a little, and from what I can tell Win7 is what Vista really should've been. Win7 isn't so bad....if you gotta be on Windows ;)

*Very* minor update to the theme. Only rom that I know for sure affects is MIUI. MIUI has a shorter height dimension for it's horizontal progress style which caused my custom progressbar_indeterminate to not look right. It now displays properly.

If your progressbars are of the "normal" dimensions then you would not notice anything with this update. It will only be noticeable if your rom/theme uses thin progressbars, ala MIUI.

The links are the same in the op, but are of the new version.

You are quite welcome, but I'm concerned about the button issue. So you are seeing the regular rectangle buttons then? But everything else is from my theme? That would be strange for sure.

Thanks so much for the update. The Honeycomb Fusion Explosion theme on the Epic likes this much more. Are you toying with the new beta market?
[Android Themes] chris6278:
Hey pendo not sure if u knew or not but theres a new market version out so u may want to update ur version
[Android Themes] pendo:
Thanks. Yeah, every once in a while I switch over to MIUI for a little bit. I was one of the early supporters in the N1 forum. Around this same time last year I told a couple dev's I thought it could turn into a huge success....wish I could've found a place in vegas who would've taken the bet :)

Anyway, with this last install, I noticed the problem. Easy fix, but more importantly I learned a bit as it exposed a weakness in my mod.

As to a new beta, this is the first I've heard of it. Got a link? I will tell you I'm NOT very fast with stuff like this. Heck with this version I didn't even think I could do anything worthwhile for quite some time. But I'd love to look at it. :)

Out of every single member on xda, you above all should know that I'm always late on that and I actually depend on YOU all to keep me up to date, lol.

I just found a link to it in your forum. v3.1.3? Hopefully not much has changed, updates can be a major pita.....especially as my mods have grown in complexity. It used to be I could just swap out a couple folders, but now I've got several places in smali that require a bit more effort.

Thanks for letting me know :)
[Android Themes] chris6278:
Lol just keepin u up to date my friend. From what i saw theres only 1 new feature but i cant think of what it is right now. I saw a video on android central that shows what the new feature is. Its bothing big i dont think
[Android Themes] Grondinm:
Thank you for the reply. I have narrowed it down to my theme causing the issue. so nothing you can do as the theme i have applied is replacing images for buttons. still i love the transparent aspect. keep up the great work.

i really need to read more... that's what i get for being on here at work....better to be told something twice then not at all tho right...lol

oh and a new market app has been released in case you did not know.

http://forums.miui.us/showthread.php?3700-New-market-3.1.3-apk

don't think anything is to different but...
[Android Themes] pendo:
Well, there see I'm guilty too. If I would've looked in your signature, I would've seen you were on MIUI and I would've know right away. One of the things I was trying to do was make my theme were it looked the same on any device, no matter what theme they were on.

Just thinking out loud here, but I've got 2 different ideas on how I could fix it. Depending on what all the theme has included by far the easiest would be to modify the theme slightly. Just depends on the theme. The other way that *might* be possible would be to build the button attribute into the app.

However, at this point in time all that is moot. The new market does look similar, but I can tell you it is quite different inside. It doesn't even decompile properly with apktool (in it's present form). There's support for large and xlarge layouts and xhdpi. (I'm only focusing on hdpi as before, but I'll have to start looking at the tablet stuff soon) There's tons of differences in smali....I basically have to go through each file that I modified and read through to find what I think is equivalent code then apply the mod. Lol, some of the modded smali files from before don't even exist. I've got a good 15+ hours in it so far and it's a ways off.
