[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AndroidGraphix:
This post is being written to encourage major cell phone makers such as HTC, Samsung and Motorola to adopt Skin or Theme development within their devices. This post was specifically written to HTC and is a last resort for me to get their attention and if not, Samsung's or Motorola's. If you don't know HTC, I've emailed, called, "Twitted to you" and posted information to your Facebook account....all with no response.

Since the launch of my Skin applications on the Android Market for HTC Sense 3.0 devices, I've seen close to 10k downloads. I know it wasn't that long ago that we had our first base for creating Skins to be loaded by Non-rooted users about 3 months ago. My colleagues and I have a combined download count of over 50k in less than 3 months. That's some good numbers, considering most of the advertising has been from this forum and word of mouth.

My point is the Skin/Theme development that HTC implemented has lots of potential for a couple reasons.

1) No root requirement

2) People like changing the look and feel of their device..without a doubt. 50k Downloads in 3 months!

3) It doesn't deplete the battery like Launchers found on the Application market.

Here's how we can expand on this concept and make it great.

1) HTC's Sense 3.0 default Skin, consisted of roughly 6-8MB in size which included 50% of the graphics on HTC devices.

Expand

on how many PNG's we can modify.

2) As of lately we've been using Diamondback2010's M10 editor. Why should we have to use a program like this to decipher the Fusion.apk/M10 file? Shouldn't this be open source and easily changeable? A great example is Sense 3.5. As of now, we haven't a clue on how to decipher the folder. This is a major setback for both HTC and Themers.

3) Major areas we should be able to theme when it comes to Skins should be the Drop-down menu. Specifically, it should be broken up into to PNG's. One for the notification and one for the background. Seen below.

4) The Dialer and Mms are a main parts of the phone so why not make it to be themed within the skin? A great example of this is below.

I know HTC has always responded to XDA which is great. I'm not sure why my suggestions & emails haven't been returned but maybe now they will. The Skin/Theme concept has proven to be a success. Now, it's up to HTC or possibly Samsung and Motorola to expand on it.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] BeenAndroidized:
I am trying to determine if I have a bad battery or it's the Android costing this issue. While using my Tilt I have wifi on and was using the apps (IE: Market, XDA, etc...) the battery indicated the full charge (or what I have left) drop to 5%. Sometime it will shutdown my Tilt first and when I boot it back up it indicated that I only have 5% or less battery power. That is within 5 minutes of use.

Do I need to get a new battery or is this problem with something else?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cabasse_tronic:
1. battery dead.

2. software problem. I have bought a tytn II with 30Euro because it had a problem with the battery. resoft and radio update made me happy. i have 2 tytn's working perfectly. one is for testing and the other one for every day use.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] BeenAndroidized:
That is what I am try to determine, if I need to go out and buy new battery.

Battery status in the setting stated that the battery is in good condition.

What did you mean by resoft and radio? :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PoXFreak:
In Android there should be an app called "Spare Parts" in the app drawer. Find this app, open it then select "Battery Information". Leave this up while charging because we need to see at what point the phone says it's charged. Normal charge level for ANY single-cell Li-Ion battery is 4.2 volts, no higher.

Once charged, disconnect charger and watch the battery voltage number. It should drop a little once off charge (maybe 4.1-4.0 volts). If it drops steeply, say 3.8 or less, your battery is bad and needs to be replaced.

It sounds like your battery is dropping WELL below the "rest" voltage sometime shortly after charging, indicating delamination inside the cell, an indicator of over charging.

I've studied quite a bit on how Li-Ion batteries work over the past year so if anyone should know, I would...

Good luck!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cabasse_tronic:
resoft = new firmware = new OS = etc

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keyframe42:
Hello all,

I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction to a Gingerbread ROM with a working media start/stop/call end headphone button (I'm using the OEM headphones that came with the phone) and 911. Both of these issues are documented bugs.

I've tried CM 7 and a couple of MIUI ROMs and the non-functioning headphone is pretty much a deal breaker, as I use my Vibrant for podcasts more or less everyday; the fact that 911 doesn't work just seems dangerous.

I've scanned lots of posts for different ROMs and neither issue really seems to come up telling me one way or the other and I don't have a day to load every single available GB ROM and figure it out via trial and error. Search hasn't been particularly revealing either.

For now, it's back to Team Whiskey NextGen v2, but I've tasted Gingerbread and I like it.

Thanks for your time.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moped_Ryder:
The 911 issue should be fixed in the future. As for the head phone button issue - it will never be fixed until the GB source drops for our vibrant.

The button function is a kernel issue, not a ROM issue. The current kernels are ports of other phones hacked to work for our phone (thus another reason not so good battery life). (IE: I9000 kernels)

Don't hold your breath - don't think GB source will ever drop for our phones - Samsung dropped us like a wet diaper.

[EVO 4G General] Indirect:
Alright everyone, time for the important question that no one wants to ask.

Since we have devs already working on ICS, we all know our hardware is a little bit dated which means it's likely we will have to remove some of the cooler features in the roms so, what do you think we might have to sacrifice to get a taste of that nice green-blue goodness?
[EVO 4G General] dabbill:
ICS will run fine on our phone. AOSP does not take the latest hardware to run. It just has to be optimized to run on our phones. Google says our phones are to old cause they do not want to take the time to make it work on older phones.
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Manufacturer bloat will have to be stripped or slimmed out an ICS/sense port will either lag horribly or sense will have to be seriously stripped or be ported back to an older less resource hungry version like 1.0/2.1 as all new ICS/sense roms will have 3.5+ which is already laggy on our hardware with out heavy mods. So don't expect to be running a full blown Ics/sense 3.5 port from a newer phone like the edge or radar. If and this is a BIG IF we are graced with one last official update on the OG don't expect sense to be upgraded they didn't upgrade it for gb, and if it does get a sense upgrade it won't be above 2.1 and it may have some of the major features removed or slimmed, such as the social integration may be downgraded and not have as many features available as it does now. Think of it like a race car if its big and heavy like a muscle car its gotta have a lot of HP to go fast if its small and heavy its gotta be stripped of all non essentials to go fast like taking all the seats but the drivers seat out and replacing as much metal with plastics and composites as possible.

[EVO 4G General] Antebios:
I still have my G1 (wife is using it), and I use an EVO 4G. Any chance ICS will run on the G1?
[EVO 4G General] cnstarz:
from what i understand, ICS heavily utilizes the GPU in regards to rendering images/3D, and our GPU is going to bottleneck ICS to the point where it is laggy. someone correct me if i'm wrong.
[EVO 4G General] dabbill:
I loaded the SDK dumb ICS rom on the evo4g going through the menus and swiping the screens ran just fine. So i would have to say once all the drivers get loaded and the rom tweaked it will be the same as running GB.
[EVO 4G General] dills2214:
Google has nothing to do with releasing OS updates for our phones. That is 100% up the the phone manufacturers, so don't blame google.
[EVO 4G General] skndeep102:
The evo design is only a single core running 1.2, I would say there's a fair chance we can get a pretty good sense port from it.
[EVO 4G General] tonker83:
nothing will need to be stripped. ASOP roms are tiny compared to Sense. Google already said that if your phone can run GB, It can run ICS. The only reason we won't get a official update is because HTC has moved on to newer phones and supporting us makes no money.
[EVO 4G General] Shidell:
Here to happily correct you. :)

Actually, rather than ICS "heavily utilizing the GPU to bottleneck the EVO", it's the reverse. Android 1.0 - 2.3.7 all currently use software acceleration. This means the CPU has to pull double duty: It has to run the OS in the background, and render everything you see in the OS.

(Games and other applications, of course, use the GPU if designed to do so.)

The departure now is that ICS uses the GPU to leverage all of the UI, taking that strain off of the GPU. The result should actually be that the EVO runs better than ever, with a slicker, smoother UI to result, and better performance from the OS in general.

Also, all of that business about having to strip-out components for the EVO is nonsense. The EVO has a 1GB ROM; it has more than enough room for ICS in it's entirety, and all the horsepower necessary to make it run really well.
[EVO 4G General] m4xwellmurd3r:
It seems like in theory the og evolution should get a little better battery life too since the workload will be split instead of all dependant on the CPU. The clockspeeds should have less full throttle time than previous versions right?
[EVO 4G General] dabbill:
I wasnt blaming google. I just ment google is not going to take the time and optimize AOSP for every phone out there. Its up to phone manufacture and other devs to do that.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
Not true for Nexus devices, and I think dabbill was referring to their statement about the Nexus One being too old for an ICS update.

If Wikipedia is accurate, the N1 only has 512MB of storage, while the Evo has 1GB of storage. On the Evo at least that 1GB is split between system, data, and cache partitions. If the N1's 512MB number is accurate and similarly is a total amount for all three partitions, than their statement would make sense for the N1. Our 1GB total should be enough. CM7 only uses 40% of the system partition on the Evo.
[Galaxy 3 General] Caz666:
Hi,

I am tasked with making a Friends Galaxy Apollo ( I5801) usable.

She bought it in Thailand and it is SIMlocked and currently running Eclair (2.1)

1) I first want to SIM Unlock it. I have seen multiple methods for this

This thread has a discussion :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1339705

I will take a look at the youtube video first, but I am concerned that I will lose my IMEI. This seems to happen a lot. How do I back it up? I have seen instructions to backup the /efs folder and others that include a DD command. Which is the most reliable?

2) What is the easiest rooting method? Does SuperOneClick work? Do I even need to root to unlock only?

3) How do I then install a working 2.2? Is there such a thing as an Official 2.2 for the I5801? Otherwise, what is the best way to STABILITY?

4) Other Samsung phones offer packages ODIN or Heimdall ROMs that are pre-rooted in order to do a one operation (sometimes one-click) root/upgrade operation. Is there such a thing for the Apollo?

Thanks.

I tried running a search, and waaay too much confusing crap came back. I have owned several HTC, Mot and Samsung phones and am usually pretty good with this stuff...but I am just plain confused about this phone.

Any help would be appreciated

[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
1.I backup the /efs folder and also manually copy the files for additional safety.

2.if you are on 2.1, z4root works great. get the apk from here, install and root. thats it. you need to root at least to backup the /efs folder.

3.go to samfirmware.com and search i5800. install any of the latest ROMs.

4.Some "stock" ROMs themselves are pre rooted. Dunno how. Install them if you want. (eg. JPM)
[Galaxy 3 General] Caz666:
Ok...my phone is now rooted and SIMunlocked. Pretty easy once you get over the fear of corrupting your IMEI data.

Now I have another question:

I REALLY want to make sure I don't brick this phone, but I think I want to upgrade it to

2.2...sooooo:

How can I be sure where the phone is from and therefore which firmware to flash?

I *know* the phone was purchased in Thailand, but I can't find the firmware currently on the phone referenced anywhere for the Apollo.

The firmware baseband is DXJG2 and the build number is DXJH2. A quick google search yields only hits for a "Galaxy Beam" ??

Am I asking for trouble flashing this puppy? My friend probably does not care that much about ECLAIR vs. FROYO...I just think that FROYO is a lot more modern.

I am just afraid that I have a freakish phone in my hands and that it won't react in a "nice" way.

Any pointers?
[Galaxy 3 General] bscraze:
If you do not flash the bootloader it is not possible to hardbrick the phone. Only a softbrick is possible and a reflash will solve the problem. Android firmwares have been shifted to sammobile.com and samfirmware does not provide them anymore if im not wrong. In froyo you will have a bit more space for appilcations and since your friend in from Thailand(in asia) i suggest u flash an asian firmware. Dxjpc is working find for me :D
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
u neednt be afraid of bricking the phone. and it is not necessary that u flash only asian frimwares. look around the forum to see which f/w works best for the majority of people and flash it. before flashing, make sure u remove boot and sbl files from the downloaded f/w. then u have 0% chance of hardbricking the phone.

cheers :)
