I got the ADWex launcher for 10 cents. Unfortunately the folder icon is so small on the tablet. I can't find a way to increase the side of the folder. Any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] andrewjt19:
This maybe premature but I figured I would throw it out there; is there any devs who could tell me about the skill level or difficulty level of making new roms or tweaking existing roms? I'm learning about java programming and using j creator and eclipse. I'm still new but I'm a fast learner. I want to help out the charge community by keeping an active dev. I'm still a time away from that but want more insight..... Please no sarcastic remarks.... Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
I'm attempting to start teaching myself this as well. The advice I've gotten is to start ofs theming. That way you can break open the apks and see what's inside, get a feel for how to change things and reassemble packages without doing any major work, and then expand from there. I'm in the process of changing jobs and cities, but I'm going to start playing around with things after I get settled.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
a lot depends on what you want to do

developing for oem skin (touchwiz roms in this case) is a lot different than aosp

aosp requires a lot of java knowledge, and depending on the phone can be somewhat easy (nexus phones source will boot without changes) to nearly impossible (this phone)

touchwiz roms require some basic tools (7zip, smali/backsmali, apktool, rom kitchens or terminal knowledge) as well as some smali knowledge and countless hours of just figuring stuff out

many of us got our start as themers, from which you (over time) gain knowledge on rom layouts, where things are located, xml/smali editing, making update.zips and updater-scripts, and the like

you dont *need* to necessarily use linux to work on tw roms, but it certainly helps imo...although most of the tools out there work in windows too

my suggestion?: download a stock rom and download a heavily modded one of the same build (infiniti/gummycharged) and compare them with kdiff and decompile the apks to get an idea of what was changed

its a good starting point
[Verizon Droid Charge] andrewjt19:
Sweet, thanks for the advice. I am learning java pretty quick but realistically it would probably be a year before I'm proficient. I also just added computer programming as a minor. I would like another phone, the nexus obviously, but I need to chill on buying phones. I love aosp- if that was possible that would be great, but getting started anywhere is good. Thanks for your help fellas.... I'll keep you all posted here on my progress...

I know that the java language will help-but comparing will help me get acquainted with android. So far I've learned everything from forums so this is a new direction...
[Verizon Droid Charge] andrewjt19:
For those following who may want this information. I had a response from imnuts in RootzWiki where I posted this same question. Here's what he said as well. He complemented the answers already given- I also followed up on a list of software to help get started.

I have searched all over the YouTube and many places but was unable to find how I open the lens glass cover and clean the dust moisture under it.please please help.

Thanks,

[HTC Inspire 4G] dilipm1:
Anybody?????!!!!!...does this mean I'm stuck with a foggy lens forever.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jaxellis:
Someone Told me to go to AT&T and see if they will clean it for you... Might as well try :) Hope this helps
[HTC Inspire 4G] dilipm1:
But no AT&T for me!!!! I dont live in the US, I visited US, bought this phone on Craigslist Sandiego. Came back home to India!!!!!!!!!!...Does this mean again I got no chance. :-(

I found this video finally, the keyword that did it was "dismantling" inspire 4G.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC5KydQ52x4

Please please suggest shall I go ahead step by step looking at this video. This does seem to be a little delicate!!!!!!!!...

Again any suggestions would be nice.

PS: Warning guys, this happened due to me taking the phone into a hot steaming shower room. Not exactly under the shower. But seems like moisture did creep in!!!..I thought these parts were vacuum or airtight packed!!!?!?!?!..maybe I was wrong!!

Please help guys..that guy in the video does make it look very easy. Is it really that easy.

Thanks,

D
[HTC Inspire 4G] DroidRunner:
Put it in a bag of rice over night. Rice absorbs moisture.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dilipm1:
Lol...rice bag!!! will try that and then guys, I am going to open this sucker up...and clean the lens with a cleaning cloth. Damn!!!,,,will keep u posted....wish me luck..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Andy98:
Can someone tell me what is the best launcher ?? Good for system and one who dont use a lot of RAM. I installed ADW Launcher and I have a horrible lag on my phone.Please give me the best launcher + DL link :D.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] timmy234:
Go Launcher EX is the best for me ... It is on Market ...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] distan7:
In ADW Launcher, try changing drawer layout from Vertical to Horizontal Paginated. Less animations = less lag.

Also check setting-- applications-- running service, and see how much memory ADW Launcher is using.

Then try other launchers such as GO Launcher EX / Launcher Pro / QQ Launcher Pro / Tencent Desktop and repeat checking for memory usage.

In my CM 7.2-RC2, QQ Launcher Pro uses around 8 MB of RAM and it has beautiful looks :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cybermessiah:
Oh my goodnees. Today my phone got possessed by Car Mode.:eek:

Car mode keeps popping up and forcibly freezing any app I'm in. First noticed it when I had my phone plugged into my computer and it suddenly exited without ant warning.:mad:

Since then its just gone crazy... almost to the point of unusability. I unplug the phone and it still thinks its in charge mode!!:(

Every few minutes it starts beeping madly with the Car Mode randomly appearing and dissapearing in the status bar... Its bloody possessed!!!:eek:

After flashing various roms and nand backups.. its definately not a software problem as its still persisting.

Did some research on the topic and apparently its due to the usb connection. The note goes into car mode if the usb connector ports are maybe blocked with dust. Tried cleaning them with compressed air... but to no avail... the phone is still possessed.... obvioslt the connector ports are malfunctioning.:(

Looks like its unrooting, back to stock and returning for a new one. Luckily I only had it for less than a month, so should be no trouble in getting a replacement. :mad:

Anyone else had this issue??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zsolti256:
I have few friends with samsungs , first time I saw the problem, With an Infuse 4g, bought off ebay, it did the same thing exactly but with usb connection, but when we flashed 2.3 over 2.2 it stopped, but the battery died in 8 hours no use.

Second my friends gt i5800 galaxy has the same problem too.

I didnt know this is such a big flaw for samsung devices, till now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] easycure1974:
Mine sometimes think it is charging though nothing is connected to the USB port. And othertimes when I connect charger it is not recognised until removing it several times. So something is fishy with the USB port
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cybermessiah:
Well... After reading a lot on the issue..apparently this can be caused from dirt in the usb connector. If dirt gets caught between certain pins in the usb connector .. the phone defaults to thinking it in dock mode. Cleaning it out with compressed air should help... but it didnt on mine.

Another one is dampness on the usb connector.

My phone was in and out of car dock mode and normal mode every 10 seconds and telling me it wasnt charging when plugged into charger and telling me it was charging when not attatched.

When turning off.. it wouldnt turn off ... but just reboot. Then it would turn off for half an hour and suddenly reboot to start the process all over again. Totallty full on possession.:p

Flashed a stock rom.. but couldnt bring myself to unroot.. lol.

So went to work and left the phone with the battery out for a few hours.

Came home , ready to flash total stock through Odin and loose root in order to take it back to be repaired.

Popped in the battery and.. presto... everything back to normal. Its been exorcised I hope.;)

I have a feeling that all this might have happened after I forgot to turn off usb storage on the phone before disconnecting from the computer... but not sure.

Anyway. lets hope its ok.:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kanej2006:
What you waiting for man, take that phone back and replace it!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Cetin:
No, this bug is known in galaxy community. I had this too and things like not able turn power off only rebooting with galaxy s2 and its now on miui ROM and no issues anymore.

I don't remember what I did to solve it.maybe flashing stock again.

But there're threads about it in S2 forum.

now my note is beginning having this issues too. It just not turning off, only rebooting itself.

I will watch progress.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Extremely common issue on the Galaxy S2, caused by a malfunctioning USB port.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zedeff:
I had the same issue as well. Galaxy note India less than 15 days old. Not rooted yet.

I saw on a forum to try

1. Unplug the USB cable

2.On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284# Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode. The correct mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.

3.Plug the USB cable.

This worked so far. One day and counting and no further glitches yet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] james1089:
Galaxy note possessed

Definatly malfunctioning usb port mines doing the same,the real reason is the phone has been subjected to moisture from somewhere.When plugged in to pc just charges but worse mtp connected shows up in notifications even when not plugged in.After a nights charging when I unplug it still shows charging and battery drain is worse than usual.The problem is I cant unroot because its not showing on pc so cant return the phone.Took the phone apart to have look no sign of water damage but they will check under a microscope and will sure see something.Galaxy s2 usb port can be purchased cheaply but haven't seen one for Note hopefully won't be long,post if you can find one.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kuaka:
I am now experiencing the same bug with my Note. I think my only option if cleaning the USB port fails is mailing it back to Handtec in the UK. Dammit. This might be my last experiment with grey-market phones. I am usually not afraid of a <90 day failure with Samsung as they make a good product, but this is ridiculous.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bannork:
I am in the same boat, this is my first grey market and will be my last, it's too bad the US get shaft by carriers.

Mind started freaking out last week, out of no where the driving mode just keeps popping up, and it wasn't plug into anything. Now the charging port is totally dead, so I've been swapping out batteries from external charger, what a pain in the arsh.

when I first received the phone, the setup screen was in German, so I'm guessing that's where my phone came from, shot an email out to their mobile division this morning, hopefully I can send it in and get it repair.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aftabbabar:
I am having the same issues. I have sent it back to my carrier in dominican republic they are just holding on to my phone and doing nothing to fix it. I have a feeling I will get shafted in the end.

The good news is that the usb port circuit module is being sold now from china.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bubblesmoney:
mine charges from charger sent by samsung but does not charge with 3 htc chargers used for my old htc desire. neither does it charge with car charger i used to use for my htc desire.

also keeps crashing within minutes everytime i load sd card it does this non stop, tw crashes and reboots all the times. works fine when sd card is removed or even if still in phone but unloaded from settings. wondering if similar issue. trying deleting various apps but looks like no difference. guess will send back and ask for a refund if cant find a solution soon. too costly a phone to accept not being able to use any sd card in the phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] naimmkassim:
Have you try format your SD card or factory reset your Note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bubblesmoney:
looks like problem sorted (for now!). initially problem seemed sorted after firmware update but then 2 days later back to square one.

anyway yesterday after umoteen attempts at deleting and reloading apps all of which failed to sort the problem, i later took a new 32gb sandisk (got a stock of 4 of them apart from a few other capacities, got them cheap for about 17£ each at a recent play.com sale) and used in the note without issues but had to reload all apps. did crash once or twice in last 24h but working fine otherwise. TW occassionally does get shut down by system and have to wait a sec or two for home screen to get populated with apps/widgets. if i hadnt liked the phone would have sent it for a refund long back. but this will do till the note2 comes along, guess nothing else will do after this one!

btw the old 32gb microsd card still works fine in other devices, so dont know what the problem was with the note and the microsd card

I'm sure we are all aware of the recently announced LTE note for the Korean market, but my question is on whether or not the phone will work on Verizon's network like how the current model works on AT&T's HSPA+

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mortem Tuam:
I have been wondering what the real size difference between the Galaxy Nexus and my SGS2 SkyRocket really was. I know in dimension they are slightly different. Nexus 4.65" and Rocket 4.5".....but I kept looking at those softkeys and ICS dock and was wondering how much real estate those keys and dock would take.

So here is a comparison between the two. Thanks to +Warren Gary for the Nexus screenshot.

It looks to me like the Nexus has less usable screen space.......I am aware that there are fixes and app adjustments in the works and am in no way bad mouthing the Nexus....I just was wondering so I thought I would share.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Thank you for shedding some light on this. I know the nexus was just barely bigger. But did wounder how much was lost to the lack of hardware buttons
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mortem Tuam:
Yeah, I found it interesting. Also of interest is my screen shot was 480x800 while the Nexus was 450x800.

I am really liking the SkyRocket....I had thoughts of going to Nexus when it came out, but I do like this 4.5" screen.

But I will be getting something bigger next upgrade.....4.5" is nice but man....the Note's 5.3" is just alluring. LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Haha ive been pricing the note the past few days. I really like sammy. And your right notes massive display, and hd makes it very appealing to me. There just so expensive. Im hoping i find one for like 400

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mortem Tuam:
that wasn't the point of the post :p

I have been curious about the Nexus screen and if it was truly bigger than the SkyRocket....in terms of usable space, it seems the SkyRocket wins. which is a good thing :cool:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

But back on topic there u have it the skyrocket wins over the nexus for screen space. Id love the nexus but not nearly enough of an upgrade for the cost. Now.that i know this 1 more reason not to
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RealHolyJoe:
I wonder if that survey question was refering to the ASUS Padphone?

I wonder if when ICS is available for the Skyrocket if the build will included the on screen ICS nav buttons like the Nexus or if they'll leave that out to save space since the Skyrocket has the hardware buttons.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Its been stated in several different threads. Phones with hardware buttons will not utilize the on screen buttons
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mortem Tuam:
I believe the soft keys on the nexus will be absent on our device since we have buttons.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cue_32:
I am a Nexus fan since the Nexus One...and was 'planning on' holding out until the Nexus came out before getting the I727R, but I figure I'll just get the Nexus too when it comes out. So right now I have both the Skyrocket and the Galaxy Nexus. (Thankfully the Nexus is a review unit for my website so no need to buy it).

As far as screen space is concerned, there is definitely less landscape if you take the on-screen buttons out of the equation. You really have no choice but to... it's always there. Except when viewing videos including YouTube.

Surprising isn't it? Wanna hear what's more surprising? Watching the same YouTube Video, at the same time, on both devices, on High Definition... you can hardly tell the difference. I found myself admiring the I727R more than the Nexus...all the while thinking that I was actually looking at the Nexus. (Can you blame me? The Nexus is supposed to have the more superior display).

This doesn't mean the display spec on the Nexus is BS...because when you look at the icons, the wallpaper (live and static), you can clearly see the Nexus display stand out. Where you can clearly see some sort of 'grid' (what I call it) or 'Screen lines' on the i727R display...that is no where to be seen on the Nexus.

One more thing, the Nexus screen is longer, where the GS2 LTE is wider...so, its your preference I guess. But if you ask me... I'm glad I bought the GS2LTE, and wouldn't trade it for a Galaxy Nexus even if they gave me an extra $100 on top.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Lol lucky. I wouldnt buy the.nexus but id trade my sr for it..

Lol i just get bored with devices after about a month lol. Lol but i seriously doubt ill ever find someone who wants to trade so ill stick with my sr until quadcores or poasibly the galaxy note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bblanski:
I have both right now and been using the nexus more just because of ics and no lte where I live.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Simba501:
If you had to keep one, which would it be?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ozone777:
According to Samsung's website, the Note DOES have LTE.

But for me the Note is just too big.

I already find the the SR to be uncomfortable in my pocket, and using the screen one-handed is a stretch...literally!

I'd imagine, for me, it would be a real juggling act to navigate the 5.3" display with one hand.

Rather than pay the money for the Note, you can pick up the SkyRocket AND a nice Android tab and still have a little money left over for accessories for both.

Just my 2 cents.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] radon222:
Yea the Note currently supports South Korean LTE (or whatever Asian country)... but I don't know if it currently supports AT&T's 700mHz (or is it kHz) LTE :confused:
