Awesome work Elex_kr! Downloading now. This could change the entire Theme Community/rooted community. Good work. I'll report back soon.

Updated:

WOW! This is a must have Themer tool. Very nice job. Thanks for posting your initial link on my Youtube video. Very much appreciated, your donation has been sent!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Elex_kr:
Newly updated!!!

Following is your requirements.

1) Show the outer line pixel being drawn. It really helps to see it being draw9 out. This is a must. The shading you designed helps but it will help much more if we see the border being drawn.

2) Your program draws the line from one end to one end. The original draw9patch leaves at least one pixel at each corner. Have you experienced any problems with your .9.png’s being designed like this?

3) Can you add a copy button or port button to allow the image to be immediately opened up in the old draw9patch editor so we can see how the image stretched? Or at least make it super easy for us to save the path to our draw9patch program from command prompt then press a button to have the image created in your program transfer over to draw9patch.

4) Create a transparent border around the png. With your latest release, there’s only a transparent border on the left and right. The top and bottom should also have a little buffer room to make things equal.

5) A save as button would be nice so we can direct the image to a folder where we want our work to be saved. Even better, give us an option to create a default work folder where our .9.png’s are saved.

6) This is of course much more difficult but would be a nice feature. Being able to compile the .9.png upon save. That would save some time. That would for sure be the icing on the cake.

FINALLY a New Draw9patch Program

WOW. Your work is amazing and SPOT ON

I really enjoy having the push button that exports the 9.png to the old draw9patch, I'm impressed. The lines around the png certainly helps along with having an even buffer around the image. I'm very excited for the next release.

Up until now, theming .9.png's have been a serious pain and very time consuming. Another donation sent just now...as promised! Thank you sir. We all look forward to the next release.

So far, so good. The "Center" feature you added saves a lot of time. That's a very nice feature to have.

Here's a thought.

1) Add a "New Project/New" button so we don't have to close the program to start a new project.

2) Batch open and save, based on your "Center" feature you added. I'm sure we couldn't use this feature on all our .9.png's but the majority of the buttons all use the same "center" feature you added.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Elex_kr:
1) I couldn't understand why 'new' is needed. Is there any difference between dropping new image on a workspace? Please explain more..

2) Processing entire images inside a folder with same values, good idea! I'd better let it an additional function for a paid version.

Thank you for your ideas!

Awesome, awesome, awesome work. Every time I have to use draw9patch I'm reminded of how long it takes to do such a simple task. Can't thank you enough for the work you've done on this!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Boni2k:
Hello!

Better 9 Patch Tool sounds great, I hate the normal one. However, dragging a .png file into your program doesn't seem to work with Mac. Nothing happens if I drag it over there.

Could you provide a manual way to open a png file?

Regards
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Elex_kr:
Hello, Boni2k.

Sorry, I couldn't test with Mac (I'll fix it when I have one..).

However, with the latest version, you can set visible additional toolbar through 'setting' menu, then you can open a file using file select dialog.

thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TRusselo:
in the next release could you make the the numbers on the right, input boxes? so numbers can be manually input by hand? eg..

35

[Tab]

65

[Tab]

50

[Tab]

51

[Tab]

0

.... ect.

and a toggle between % (current) and actual pixels would be great. sometimes we know where we want them by the math in our head, eg 15px.

and the square background would be more useful like original draw9patch with the grey/white squares, 1 pixel relative and aligned with image.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Perka:
Looks great :D

Will give it a go when back home.

Your latest program is insane. I literally finished all 50 of my 9.png's in a second. lol. ah, gone are the old days of taking days to theme. :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Elex_kr:
Here's a tip of using Batch dialog.

Textboxes are droppable.

I think I didn't mention it yet, so..

in batch dialog, you can drop a folder inside a textbox instead of using a file picker.

I think dropping could be a simpler way of selecting file or folder.

By the way, couldn't I delete or move this post to another position.:o

Actually, I hope this should be a child of my latest post. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AndroidGraphix:
Sure. I'll try to contact the moderator. And that drag and drop folder option is nice.

EDIT : Elex_kr, is it not letting you select, "edit "? If not, it's probably because you haven't hit 10 post yet. If you like, create another post with the link and all information you'd like in it. I'll link to that post from the OP.

And please let me know when you have a good idea on this tool.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TRusselo:
It has been a few months since I have used this tool, I have one question now. What is the serial number for? is the program no longer free? Were any of my suggestions from the previous page included in the recent updates?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AndroidGraphix:
I really hope people understand what Elex has brought to xda. The dev is saving us hours, if not days of time by building us a new better 9-patch program . This has literally saved me days of work, not to mention is the only alternative to the original draw9patch. That's free to anyone that has a problem paying.

I recommend this program to anyone that themes or deals with 9.pngs.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Elex_kr:
I'm so sorry but it's no longer a free software, now it's a shareware. However, it's only $10. And I sent a serial code to those who already donated.

And your previous suggestions related with pixel-wise workspace are not yet implemented. As you know, this tool is originally designed to use proportional values internally, it requires many time to me to implement your suggestions, because it needs to me to rewrite every source codes from the zero.

I hope it could be available on next MAJOR upgrade.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gunthermic:
Has this app changed or progressed since mar 12?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AndroidGraphix:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thislooksgreat:
I bought this program about a month or 2 ago and I've used it a lot. Today I tried to edit the presets, to add one and hit save. It somehow didn't save and I just carried on. After a PC restart the program doesn't want to load. Double click, it opens in task manager but that's it.

I have Java Platform SE binary installed, working in Eclipse as well, everything is good, nothing has changed except what I tried to do.

I downloaded it again, same issue. Help?

EDIT: I reinstalled the JDK package, reinstalled eclipse. Nothing. It won't open! >_<

Later Edit: Owner replied via e-mail, told me to delete the 9patch folder from Windows/Users, I did, it worked. Thank you!

Hi Elex,

Just a thought but could you develop a batch program to number all PNG's in a folder? If there's anyone that can do it, you could. The purpose of this program would help themers find PNG's on a device without having to modify each PNG wondering whether or not we modified the correct one.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Elex_kr:

Hi just bought a razr couple days ago and tried to install some HD games from gameloft and get a messege that my device is not supported :(

I have seen some youtube videos with gameloft games on razr so i wonder why my razr is not working on same games?

I have a nordic razr but it should be the same all? Anyone have a clue?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Maverick0:
Would ChainFire3D help you?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Is this message being shown on Android Market?

If so, try to enable external APK installation and try to install the game's APK off of the Market. For example, download it on another device and copy/install it on your RAZR, or download it on your PC and copy/install on RAZR.

I hate the new Android Market. For example, apps that can work on my ATRIX / SGS2 are shown as not downloadable (device not supported), but manually installing them works flawlessly 99% of the times.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Buchko:
No root yet so i cant test that!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Buchko:
The messege is not shown on market it shows after i install the game and start it first time. Then the messege pops up "your device is not supported" I also tried to download the games to computer than to dropbox and have tried to install it on the phone that way but it ends the same way..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
So you have to use an updated version of the game... :)

I have noticed that since the OMAP4 is just the latest in the PowerVR line, many games designed for older PowerVR chipsets work on the RAZR! Backstab HD for the Galaxy S for example works pretty well. Very smooth.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] keltai:
Hi, can i check with u wat e version u installed for Asphalt 6 & Fast 5? thks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I think that *maybe* there might be a fix, because on other devices when u have issues like this from the market, you need to change your LCD density back to what is normal for your device, however IDK what the density is by default on this device, but try changing it to something else and see what happens?

For instance everytime i want to update 3 ceartain apps i have to chance my LCD density back to normal on my MT4GS and had to on all my other devices, as well as people are reporting this works on the SG2 forums i believe

[HTC Sensation] rryanosman:
Hi All. I am looking at picking up a couple HTC sensations for myself and the wife, and I am trying to find out if roms/hacks for the sensation (regular version) work with the sensation 4g version? For perspective, I have found out the hard way that ROMs for the samsung fascinate will (temporarily) brick your fascinate 4G, so if the same is true for the sensation, I will likely just look for a couple non 4G models, as I don't see much reference to the 4G models here on XDA (and I've had enough of being left on the sideline like I was with the fascinate 4G).

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] whato1986:
I'm pretty sure the only difference is that the Sensation 4G is a T-mobile device and for HSPA+ instead of displaying 'H' it displays a '4G' icon.
[HTC Sensation] rryanosman:
I'm pretty sure you're right. Hoping to get more than 'pretty sure' though heh heh.

Here in Canada, I see local ads selling Bell sensations, and Bell sensation 4Gs... Either they are two different hardwares, or (, as I am beginning to suspect, ) it's the same phone and it's just that some people here don't put '4G' in their ad. I'm hoping someone can definitely confirm this with personal experience though before I commit to several hundred dollars.
[HTC Sensation] johnpushon:

Look here, same specs in everything, i think its just a market trick also..
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
It's the same damn thing.
[HTC Sensation] rryanosman:
Thanks for the link johnpushon. It looks like the radio section does have some differences, so looks like there is 2 different phones (right?). It's a little over my head to know what it means in practical terms.

It would be great to hear from someone who has done this, but what I really want to know is what are the data rates like (on the telus and speakout networks actually) when you flash a non 4G ROM onto a 4G phone. I may have to find this out for myself.
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
No.

There's the Z710a and Z710e.

Both are called Sensation 4G by Bell and T-Mobile respectively, but the rest of the world doesn't. The difference between the e and the a are their radios, but that has NOTHING to do with 4G.
[HTC Sensation] rryanosman:
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Please help alleviate my headache if you could... by shedding some more light on what the difference is between the two? It's confusing because one is called 4G, one is not, yet you're explaining that the difference between the phones has nothing to do with 4G?

From the gsmarena page:

Regular:

HSDPA 900/2100

HSDPA 900/1700/2100

4G:

HSDPA 900/1700/2100

HSDPA 850/1900

Thank you so much for your time.
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
Ignore GSM Arena.

Forget everything about the 4G. It's just a name. If tomorrow I started my own wireless carrier company, and if I called the Sensation the "Delicious Banana Sensation", it would be no different than the "4G" branding. It's just a 4 and a G that they attached to the name, nothing else.

Now, the difference between the Z710a and Z710 is merely the bands. The Z710a only work with some carriers and the Z710e only works with other carriers. It's like, British power plug vs American power plug. It's the same device with similar capabilities other than what makes it compatible for its environment. Just because my hair dryer is plugged into a 220-240V power outlet doesn't mean it's going to be twice as hot as the same hair dryer made for the American market and their 110-120V system.

Z710e:

2G 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G 900 / 1700 (AWS) / 2100

Z710a:

2G 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G 850 / 1900 / 2100
[HTC Sensation] rryanosman:
I love 'Delicious Banana Sensation'. Whenever anyone asks me "What kind of phone is that?", I'll tell them "It's an HTC Delicious Banana Sensation." and watch their eyes fill with jealousy, because their phone isn't as mouth watering as mine. HAHAAAA! "My phone has Siri, the intelligent assistant." "Oh yeah? Well my delicious banana sensation is made with froyo and ice cream sandwiches!" OHOHHHHHAHAHHA!

Thanks a lot lianw. Got a delicious banana sensation out of the paper for $275 yesterday, and today it's rooted and unlocked. It's all good.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThatNerdGuy:
I got my galaxy s2 (international version) about 4 months ago. Recently I've noticed some weird battery drain mostly when I restart my phone, but it happens other times just out of the blue.

It might be a software bug not showing the proper battery level, but I've attached pictures that show normal battery drain even after that jump down. Obviously, if it was a a software fault the battery percentage should remain level or go up slightly. (Yes the battery level does go up a bit, but I lose significantly more battery than I gain.)

This has happened in many instances and I've only got a screenshot of two. Sometimes I get big discharge and at other times its small. It's pretty annoying when you think you've got enough battery and go out, only to find the phones dropped 20-30% out of nowhere.

My phone is unlocked and not branded (bought from carphone warehouse UK- CPW). It's running stock XXKI4 firmware (2.3.4) and I'm not rooted.

So my question is, has anyone else seen this happen or have I got a faulty battery? Is there a fix?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmy.77:
Hi there,

Battery drain is one one the main argouments you can find in this forums. ATM I'm in your same condition: after latets ROM ugrade (I've got latest CheckROM release), my phone "sucks" al lot more battery than before.

A lot of things could affect this: themes, skin, kernel, application bug, bad battery checking and so on. There isn't a valid answer... I think you must indagate on yourself, comparing what you find with forum's infos!!

Good luck!!

J.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
There are several threads about battery drain.

For example here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16973603

Maybe you find a useful tip.

You have always test it on your phone under your conditions.

You can try to flash special (Custom) ROMs and kernels, which are optimized for better battery life, but as there are so many different influences on battery life, it is nearly impossible to find a general "fix" for all users and phones.

Good luck!

well at least yours lasts 15 hours, mine lasts at most 10 hours on heavy usage.

P.S. I am using 2.3.5
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vlad the Cat:
As to Anwser to those "drops" or "gaps" in the graph, just recently i noticed that my phone was working normally, i was monitoring its battery drain (i have a thread going on about it), and after some time of no using, after class, i noticed that my phone asks for my SIM PIN again, and is in Safe Mode (i dont really know what that it). When i checked the battery monitoring graph (battery info) i notice the absolutr same fall (from 70% to 40%), but i remember that i saw and used my phone at 60-50% too ! So i can only assume that the phone crashes, eighter reboots for some reason, and the data isnt saved (for example it saves the data every 2 hours or so), so there appears the "gap".

Thats simply my opinion, but i do remember using the phone at the % between the two extremes (IN the gap), so i guess the data wasnt saved.

EDIT: Ha! I'll add some pis now to show you guys this: so in my current history i have two gaps, one big, and one smaller before. So, the first time, i turned off the phone and PULLED OUT THE BATTERY aswell cause i wanted to check my batteries mAh (its 1650 but thats offtopic). Thats how the small gap appeared ! As for the big one, my phone seemed to crash and reboot while i didnt notice, because in an hour or so of no using i woke it up and it asked for the SIM PIN.

So there, i think the phone eighter crashes or doesnt manages to save the battery data, and those gaps ("falls") appear.
