I'm a little confused. Are we supposed to use the file that can be downloaded in this thread or the file from the link? The file from the link seems WAY complicated compared to something that can just be tossed into eclipse like when I made an ADW theme...

I too am getting the errors when I try to import the template from this thread into eclipse. First of all, when I choose 'select archive file' in the dialog box, I'm not sure what file I'm supposed to open. I've gone through every folder and whatever file I click on, it tells me 'no projects are found to import'. Can somebody please steer me in the right direction. Thanks!!
[Android Themes] ZorillaBiz:
Thanks Quinny899,

but can you help us with finding out activity names for apps we don't have in template (for additional icons).

I found this site for finding activities (activities.droidicon[dot]com) but sometimes there is more than 10 versions of the same app, so is there an easy way to find out which activity app on my phone uses?

thanks in advance!

Ivan
[Android Themes] Quinny899:
The easiest thing to do is to download widgetsoid 2x from the market, add a switcher widget to your homescreen and do the following:

Select the shortcut tab at the bottom and select application. The activity names are below the apps in there

Use DDMS from android-sdk tools, You will se activities ;)

Nice!

I see that you have experience on making themes and I need your help my friend.Did you manage to theme the menu bar below? (I mean the menu "Main Plugins More".I tried but with no luck.I would appreciate it if you would help me on that.
[Android Themes] pandik:
Hallo. I can only change icons and colors of this menu, definition is in assets/app_func_theme

But i dont know how to add somethin into this menu ;)

Got also problem with Market protection system, I tried many times to include it in theme but still no effect. Anyone have any idea?

Pandik.
[Android Themes] gkaipale:
Finally i found a way to theme it.I could not do it manually via app_func_theme (any changes were being ignored) so i do it with GoThemeFactory and export the apk from Eclipse.

I did not try to add extra icons to this menu though, i guess you will face copyright violation issues from go development team. :-)

Thank you my friend.

GZ then ;)

im having trouble downloading all sorts......zips,apk,pdf through the phones stock browser and dolphin. when i click on the download link it brings up the downloads window but only downloads a small html file each time not the actual file i want. have tried holding the linking and then save as, open etc but same result, have also tried an app call download all files from the market. rooted xwki8 fw, 3uk, any ideas?:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] turborider:
Check out Download All Files on the Android Market! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hwkrbbt.downloadall

is the best thing i ever had m8 it works and downloand anything in the web
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
I'm also using Download All Files, but files still get saved as html in stock browser, have no clue why. I download through Firefox though, which works perfectly no matter what type of file i download.
[Galaxy S II General] rojdag:
As in op I have download all files
[Galaxy S II General] rojdag:
Cool look like firefox is the way!

Just tried it and it works but it's not a nice browser at all... But does the job thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] kersey:
Also try Opera Mobile, works flawlessly in downloading files.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Opera works fine if you download from sites where you don't have to wait a certain time, if i try to download from sharing sites where you have to wait 30 seconds or 1 minute untill you can start the download, the counter gets stuck and i can never get to the point where i can start downloading, so that's why i stick to Firefox for downloads.
[Galaxy S II General] turborider:
on stock browser works ok with me :D
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Almost all the free ac in RS, MU or FS have a timer set and with Opera I could download almost anything. Timer never got stuck for me.

I'll give a look at Download All files however. I hate moving to another browser just for downloading. The Stock browser should download all file formats, don't know why it doesn't !
[Galaxy S II General] kersey:
Same here, no problems at all. Is my browser of choice for downloading and Boat browser for browsing.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mictho100:
Hi Guys, I posted this in Android Software and Hacking General, but I didn't get a reply. Probably the wrong section! :rolleyes:

my HTC Desire GSM is stuck in Fastboot and won't boot into the ROM. The background to this issue is that I installed S-Off and then ClockworkMod and flashed Cyogenmod 7 to see if it would fix a reboot issue on the phone. The damn thing just reboots itself when the CPU is used heavily...

Anywho, after realising that Cyogen wouldn't resolve the issue I flashed the standard Virgin UK rom back over it and upgraded to 2.22.351.2 via the system update feature. The problem was that ClockwordMod was still installed and I had to get rid of it to sent the phone off for repair to Virgin!

So I did further research and found that I could flash HBoot via the AlphaRev.nl downgrader tool. I downloaded it and popped it into the root of my SD card and it flashed the bootloader back to Hboot 0.80.0000. That should have been it, but all of the sudden the phone no longer boots into the Rom. All it does is to power on and then go into Fastboot. That's it! When I try putting the standard Virgin Rom back onto the SD it tries to load it and then says "Main Version is older!" "Update Fail!".

How do I get around this now? The phone doesn't boot, so I can't re-flash S-Off and start again, not am I able to run the stock Virgin Rom within Windows because it complains about the versions.

Is there any ways around this situation? I just want to get the phone back to stock so I can send it to Virgin and get it repaired.

P.S. I *have* used the search function and spent the last 4 hours testing various things but I'm now stuck.

Cheers Guys!

Mich
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Well you obviously fckd up with the Downgrader, you should have run it first BEFORE RUU. Also did you flashed Stock Hboot prior to Downgrader? (if you used CM7 earlier)

I never played around with the hboot downgrading etc. so i wont be able to help you but im sure there is some workaround... ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iain2510:
as your returning your phone anyway why don't you try the official HTC gingerbread update from the HTC developer site (sorry I don't have a link). It should return your phone to stock and when you get it back you need to use revolutionary to get s-off back. Also, there is a sticky from user bortac which has loads of help and trouble shooting advice.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Any advice that uses the 2.3.3 RUU to fix something is plain bad advice - it can just make your problem a LOT worse.

@OP Go onto my guide, look at RUU problems for help

What you need to do:

-Make a goldcard (there is a tutorial there)

-Flash the WWE RUU
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mictho100:
Guys, upgrading to Gingerbread has actually brought the phone back from the dead! =) And I can now return it to Virgin to get it repaired properly. The symptoms are that while the phone is plugged in and charging, and I'm doing stuff (taxing the CPU), the phone will eventually simply rebooting itself. Just *BANG*! And it's gone. And once it starts it's a bit of a run-away thing and just keeps on doing it until you leave the phone alone for a bit. Virgin had a look at it and simply re-flashed it, thinking that they could away with that. Typical, overworked, non-creative call centre workers..... I'm well pissed off with them! :mad:

Gonna send it back next week and force them to swap the motherboard or something, cause this is a serious fault with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
People generally complain that the SGS4G doesn't have an LED for notifications, which is why so many praise BLN support.

For those who can't live without it, there's another solution that I've tried WAY back, even before we had CWM (even before I posted on this forum :P). It might not be as pretty, but it's a notification light.

NoLED: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.led.notify&hl=en

This app pretty much puts a little dot or image on your screen as a notification. Works on both Froyo and GB.

I've attached the .apk file, in case if there are some people doing a fresh flash.

Have fun!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Obies:
I love this NoLed app!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bbobarino:
Yes nice effin app thank u
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Nice find
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I'm glad to know that you guys found it useful! :)

Let's hope that gets rid of the no BLN complaints on GB.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flyinbird93:
I would prefer to have BLN because it uses less power, plus i always had issues getting this app to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyy00:
Couldnt get it to wotk with octaine
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ultimakillz:
Can anyone else comment on the effects of this app on battery life? It looks like something could definitely use but I'm a stickler when it comes to anything that drains my battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Locobato:
I didn't notice any battery drain but then again I never got the damn thing working.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
This app seems to drain battery a little more than bln. Got it working on "GB beautiful" though anything that is not a standard call or SMS seems a little sporadic on actually putting a notification icon on the screen. Would prefer bln but this is better than nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ultimakillz:
I installed it to give it a try. It's been working well for the most part, but it seems like when I have a notification it replaces my normal lock screen with this icon screen. I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to work or not. So basically when an icon is being displayed I have to hit the home button to go to the home screen, but if I hit the lock button it does not return me to the lock screen, which is somewhat annoying at the moment but I'm sure I will get used to it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Honestly, I only used NoLED for like, 10 minutes. After a while, I felt the icons looked a bit ridiculous and it might've drained significant battery life, so I removed it.

For those that can't seem to get it to work, try rebooting your device. That was in the app instructions, I believe. Afterwards, turn it on through the app. You could test it yourself by sending yourself an email, text, or whatever. There's a decent amount of settings you can play with.

Also, it should work with all ROMs that we have. I don't think there's anything in the ROMs that would prevent it anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] aburn95:
Hell yeah i forgot about this app. First thing I used for LED notifications on G2X. And it's pretty funny to see your friends faces bouncing around your screen if you have a pic for their caller ID. I get ****ty battery life anyways with Valhalla black so a little worse won't kill me. But FYI guys that say it's not working... on the market app page it says "requires default android lock screen to work" so maybe thats the issue
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dnahughes:
i use this on my sgs4g and have no excess battery usage and it works flawlessly
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
Digging up this old thread as i'm currently having bln withdrawals on Kyndig's pacman rom. It seems to work ok so far it's only been a day but it hasn't rebooted my phone yet and I can't really tell if battery life is affected or not. It also turns on the capacitive keys... never used it before but I wonder if it's supposed to do that?

Also it is kind of annoying that you can't use the power button...
[XPERIA X8 General] chakuchi:
[Q] Do you guys think that SE will realease a new verion of SE Xperia X8?

In my opinion I think that it will be awesome, the X8 is a huge success and I think that SE will continue with this phone and will release a new phone in x8 series at 2012.

I will be happy to see your comments about this topic/:)
[XPERIA X8 General] Graveir:
They already have - Xperia Mini is a X8 body with enhanced hardware - multitouch screen, 1GHz CPU and more RAM. The same white outfit with the same screen size ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] RockitOut11:
Yeup, you can see the differences (improvements) down in italic+bold

Xperia Mini has practically the same size of X8

The outside looks like X8 but a bit more "recent"

The screen has the same size, same DPI, same resolution, but XMini has Multitouch

The processor is an ARMv7 with 1ghz (much better than the X8 one)

The ram is now 512MB, ~ 4x more than X8

5MP camera with Autofocus and LED Flash, a bit better than X8, and can record 720P videos, and some new features like Touch-To-Focus, Smile and Face detection

XMini has Android 2.3 with features like the Bravia Engine and i think it also has the XLoud

The price isn't has good as X8.

In portugal there is only the Xperia Mini PRO, wich more 100€ than the X10 Mini Pro. X10 Mini PRO is 150€ and Xperia Mini PRO is 250€

We don't have the Xperia Mini, but it will be around the 200€, wich is almost 2x the X8 price.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
Price of the mini is really good!

For example:

X8 was 1000kn, (and still is), and new mini is 1500kn

1000kn is around 150€ (1€ = 7.3kn) so mini is 50€ more expensive than X8, but mini has some really great hardware comapared to X8 ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] X8invisible:
I think that se will continue with the "small" phones and I hope that they will be beautiful as the x8 and smart like the xmini

Sent from my E15i
[XPERIA X8 General] chakuchi:
yeah, I think that Xmini mini is an great phone but the small screen doesn't look good and uncomfortable.
[Omnia 7 General] xxcandygirlx:
hi can anyone help please, i updated to mango a couple of weeks ago, i was lucky enough to get the update,

ive put speech on so i can hear and say text messages, but how do i turn it on so that the callers name is announced?
[Omnia 7 General] Hades32:
For some unknown (and probably completely stupid) reason this option is disabled on the Omnia :(
[Omnia 7 General] xxcandygirlx:
ok thanks anyway :(
[Omnia 7 General] IcePlaya:
I'll bet its because the audio at that point isn't routed to bluetooth and for most, that would be the point.

One can hack it on yes. One must also be happy with USA display language. Not so great for this aussie here who wanted to hear the name of the caller whilst driving.

Further, one must have the ringer have turned on too...

Just not ready for primetime imho...but close.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Trickee360:
So I'm thinking of getting this phone with my soon-to-expire premier program upgrade (especially since it looks like we wont see galaxy nexus before the end of december), and I want to be sure this thing will stay satisfying for two years.

Primarily, I want to avoid issues the epic 4g has: limited (although what there is is extremely dedicated) dev support and lack of cm/miui that keeps the phone stuck at outdated os iterations (which is mostly sammy's fault anyway).

What im asking is, is this phone a dev darling and do they promise to love it for ever, even after samsung abandons it in 8 months?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
There is no such thing on the market. Once this phone stops getting Android updates, the community will have no choice but to dump it for the next newest. It'll probably be able to drive your car, have sex with your wife, and make banana pancakes. How will you be able to coerce a developer away from such a dream phone when all you have to offer him/her is a beat up old 2011 E4GT to work on? You just have to let nature take it's course. Buy the phone for what it does now or always ask that same question: "Should I wait for the next one or get this one now?"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
which ROM makes Banana Pancakes?

Mine only makes Buttermilk.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] worldwidepmp:
Premier program upgrade expires 12/31/12 you have a good year and two months to make a decision.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Your Premier upgrade doesn't expire in December. You have all of 2012 to use it.

If you were thinking you could have gotten one additional 11-12mo upgrade cycle, that would have needed to be done by 10/1/2011.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
When it comes to electronics, nothing is future proof!

The SGS2 is a great phone today and while it might not be the top of the line in a few months it will still be able to handle it's own.

There is one thing I am jealous of with the Galaxy Nexus, and that is the HD screen. If the SGS2 would have had an HD screen, it would be right up there with the GN. I do not count ICS because the SGS2 will eventually get it. If the GN only had a qhd screen I don't think I would care as much....Seems almost like qhd screens didn't stay around as the top dog for to long. Guess the lower end devices will be going qhd while top end goes 720p to compete.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Trickee360:
The point is well taken that there's no such thing as a future-proofe phone. I should have qualified that I am asking if this phone appears likely to enjoy EVO or HD2-like developer love. I was spoiled with cm-support on the G1 and I want to recapture those possbilities with my next phone.

I was on the phone with Sprint for an hour and a half talking about my upgrade status and they repeatedly told me it would expire on Dec 31, 2011. I guess I'll call again and ask again. I don't know what to trust anymore. If I get another year I'll be extatic.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] worldwidepmp:
The program itself ends 12/31/11 but you have until the end of next year to use your upgrade.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Trickee360:
Just called Sprint to confirm my upgrade won't expire! Thanks so much for the heads-up, my XDA brothers XD
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] worldwidepmp:
I had to fight Sprint to get my last upgrade but they relented and gave it to me so now it's either ET4G or Galaxy Nexus if or whenever they get it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sean-El:
I did not know that, i just checked and next September I have an upgrade available... cool.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] G1-8701:
Honestly, i'd go with the ET4G, the Galaxy Nexus is waaaaaay overrated
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Add ICS and a 720P screen to our SGS2 and you have yourself a phone that is equal to or better then the GN. We will get ICS whether it be official or not, so that will really even the playing field. So our phone is future proof until you start seeing quad core phones come out and well as Sprint LTE phones. But I would say you are good for at least the next year to year and half with the SGS2.

When the specs for the SGS3 get dropped, I am betting that will be a game changer and Samsungs flagship phone, not the Nexus.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Robbzilla:
I hate you... Now I want Banana pancakes! :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Trickee360:
IMO, dual core SOCs and 1GB RAM are the major milestone for smartphones. Quad cores will improve benchmarks, but probably not much else. Cutting edge OS is what's important to me now, which the GN covers nicely :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trifthen:
Not quite. We don't have NFC or a barometer, either. The lack of NFC means we can't use Google Wallet or Beam... ever, and the barometer means slower GPS locks and we can't use any other aps that take advantage of it.

I don't quite understand why Sprint had Samsung remove the NFC chip... it's the only GS2 variant that doesn't have one, and aside from LTE, that's the newest feature everyone is jumping on lately.

This phone will have a lot of life in it, but it's not future proof.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bman55:
The nexus has a cheap pentile display. Go with the epic touch you won't regret it. And it has a sa+ display!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordOfTheStuff:
I really enjoyed the support out there for my EVO 4G, and was a little disappointed at the lack of options out there right now for my shiney new E4GT:eek: (not complaining, stating a fact, back off flamers)

However, read through the forums for the other variations of the SGS2 and you can see it's out there for them. I just think Sprints baby is a little late to the party, but is going to get it's fair share of cake. Read through some of the Developer posts and there is news popping up fairly regularly about test builds of CM7 and MIUI...:cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jsauce75:
I am getting closer and closer to getting this. I just know a week after I do the galaxy nexus will be announced for sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vadyr56:
I'll be honest, this is my first android phone (epic touch 4g), but I have been tinkering with anything that draws power since I was a little guy ripping apart old stereo receivers and what not! Sure, something with some more bang is bound to come out in the next few months or so; but in my opinion, a device with the capabilities exhibited by this phone are not going to be overlooked anytime soon! Some people may dump the phone and grab whatever is better on the market at that time, but dev is not going to halt for this phone anytime soon as far as I can tell. Even before getting this phone I've done lots of research on android phones and spoken to friends that have owned such, and this is phone definitely marks a milestone in my opinion. Sure it has its bugs, I get LoS once a week or so; but despite its flaws (which will be resolved by the manufacturer or else!) it is a great phone and will serve any user well for YEARS! Hell, I had a Blackberry 8330 for a few years, wasn't anything special by any means at all but with some TLC and mods it was a great phone for as long as I had it. The ET4G should last a Looooooong time... :D

Edit: I also wanted to say, to those who were saying things about the Galaxy Nexus coming out for Sprint. Sure you may be able to the phone with Sprint in the very near future, but is it not quite similar to the ET4G? Really I guess it depends on preference and such. From what I've read and heard, though...the phones are not THAT much different so I guess whatever feel you like best is what you should get! Cheers!

Hi, i have been using the Android Keyboard from Exynos Extreme Rom, and i have issues with typing things.

For example, when i type 'hello how are you today?'

it'll come out as 'hhello how are you ttoday?'

or when i start a new line of words, it'll 'auto transfer' the last word i used.

if i typed: 'i finished my dinner le'

then i press send, then the next line when i type 'have you taken yours?'

it'll come up as 'lehave you taken yours?'
