yea that looks like a good thing to do. if it was me, i would be sitting there playing skyrim through all of xmas vacations xD but you should totally go out with your friends and all man, enjoy that :)

also if you give me the name of your company, id buy a couple of your apps to help out (i cant donate for cultural reasons) and enjoy using them apps :D

for the xda bit, i would use google chrome or whatever to see the HTML codes in the website structure (in www.xdaforums.com) and convert to XML code for app. then app simply follow other important pages such as forums quotes etc while logged on.

if that doesn't work, I saw somewhere that the XDA app is created from tapatalk (or was it?) app. i would try see if thats open source or not or if the original dev allows your access to it or not. hope ive helped :)

Update time!

So I tried to implement my own dock today, and it somewhat worked.

Still have to find out why it gets resized (it's not an .9.png) but I think I know why..

I hope to post a screenshot with the first version of the dock tomorrow.

I also thought of what to do with the Music app.

I'm not going to redo everything, I'm just going to add some stuff and a neat, special ability..

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ak700:
Great!!

BTW, for the music app, you could just use the MIUI music player and re-theme it. (if you are allowed to do that:D)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I don't know.

As far as I'm concerned, all MIUI apps are closed source.

I KNOW the Music App from CM7 is opensource, so I can go and edit it, as long as it stays opensource (which it will).

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] neo1691:
A music player integrated with social media??? Can you do it???
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
What do you mean?

Like, you can tweet what you're listening to?

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] neo1691:
yup or maybe post on fb?? or share with some friends!!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Okay, sounds do-able.

But then it would just be something like:

"I'm listening to <Artist> - <Song Name> on the Ra-mod Music App!"

Shall try and implement it ;)

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] neo1691:
All the best!!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] andreapier:
I wish you all the best but...

why did you choose CM7 instead of AOSP GB? And why did you choose to customize ADW launcher instead of stock AOSP launcher?

Isn't ADW closed source?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] neo1691:
dympy says
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
https://github.com/boombuler/ADWLauncher2

Seems open source to me.

But still, I give him all credits, since he made it, and now I'm just modifying my own modified version.

And I'm still thinking of switching from CM based to AOSP based..

I think AOSP based will be faster.

If I knew how to delete my Poll, I would put up a new one.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] josip-k:
Aosp much better.its better to base your rom on stock ginger than on cm7.cm7 already is a custom rom. :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] neo1691:
Ask prateekgujral. Maybe he can do it!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
yes. this is exactly what spotify does. I like that idea. i suggest putting an on-off button for this, I dont wan people to see all the songs I listen to! (like some songs that are parodies and are kinda not appropriate in the strictly polite Persian community)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] coolfire92:
I'd say stick to cm7 as the base.Taking aosp GB then adding most of tweaks which are probably implemented in Cm7 will only add to your workload.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
Really, that is true. we would also have to miss on a range of CM features... but AOSP is cleaner and easier-ish... and less people complaining (Rather unthoughtfully, i find) that "you are creating a custom custom ROM. what is the problem with this? its like having inter-racial marriages!!

I suggest you make a CM7 base, mainly because of the Theme changer App and the DSP pack. only that.

suggestion: porting the task manager from samsung froyo would be cool, maybe the only stock samsung app i always kept.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] coolfire92:
+1 for the task manager.Theres almost no way to kill a haywire app than go to setting then app......forcestop. The whole process is cubersome
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I was just thinking of adding an extra button to the music player "Share" which will give you a list of opportunities.

This way you can only share songs you want to share.

I shall see what I can do.

If I know how to force stop an app, maybe I'll try and implement my own task manager into the launcher.

Right now I'm going to try and redo the Dock, just to make it work.

Tomorrow I won't be at home, have to go to Amsterdam with my sister for one of her school assignments or something.

So the sneak peek screens may be delayed to next Saturday.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
have fun in Amsterdam man :) good solution for the music thing :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] moikop:
It's not hard.. check out ActivityManager :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
Yea, you can just kill the pid maybe when the user long presses the back button

From my fingers to your eyez
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] i_rnb:
ya thats what i ws goin to say.. but u hav to enable it from setting.. :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
Not necessary, but better

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] alen1901:
Personally i dont like killing with back button because it kills launcher too(not the stock one). And i dont want to put launcher in memory.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] neo1691:
One disadvantage, many advantages :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
what about this for music player:

when i press and hold vol +/- buttons, skip through tracks. holding both of these buttons would play/stop :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] RafayelG:
i'm jealous i'm stuck with my stock rom, no dev's in Live walkman forum's

Kyrillos' ROM GWK74 Alpha4

powered by

CM7-ultra kernel 1.2
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
lol :D

what i do before buying an android is look in the xda and see if it has a good dev section. if yes i buy if no, i dont buy (for now, i plan to learn so many things about programming :( i dont have aclue what im meant to do though :confused:) can you not buy or get a new SG3? it is only like 150$ USD cash and 10$ per month subscription for contract
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] RafayelG:
No point in buying one now.

I was thinking maybe i can work together with dympy and make a ra-rom for my device?

Sent from my phone
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Well, Rafayel, it was part of my master plan to take over Android :D

Just kidding :P But yeah, I did intent to port this ROM to as many devices as possible. When the first Pre-Alpha is released, I'll contact you with details about how to port it to your device. Maybe eventually create one central site for all devices and see how it goes from there :P

On other news, I can now start with adding my own dock! It seemed like there were still old unused files which were blocking the resizability of my own dock. I shall work on to it tomorrow and keep you guys updated ;)

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] RafayelG:
Thanks looking forward to it :D

Sent from my phone
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
you are epic
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Hey all!

Remembered that sneak peek of the new dock? Well, you just have to wait a little longer.

I just need to rearrange some stuff and I'm not quite fond of the center button..

I shall update you later this evening, and I hope I can post a screenshot then (;

Dympy.

EDIT 1:

Hmm, it seems the way of interacting with the functions behind the original buttons is somewhere hidden in code.

Before I continue I want to know where this happens, otherwise I'll get in trouble later in the progress.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] aropop:
Can't wait already :eek:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I'm tired, but I finally implemented the dock somewhat.

Tomorrow I'm going to add my custom icons and hope to find where the buttons actually get their task..

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Sorry guys, no updates for now or the following days.

My dad fell in the garden and broke his leg..

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Smonic:
Tell him to take it easy. Home he get's well soon.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pixdev:
Don't worry about us, we'll be fine - family health comes first! Tell your dad to get well soon from all of us at XDA :-)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] i_rnb:
that is so sad! Get well soon for your dad.

-tapatalked by rnb
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
wish your dad health :o
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Thanks for all the support guys.

He had to go into surgery this morning but everything went just fine.

Anyhow, to keep myself distracted from things, I made myself a little deadline thingy.

At the end of next Friday, I want to reach Milestone 1 for:

The Launcher

The Theme

The Social HUB.

Now you're probably wondering what will be in the first milestone release.

Well, here are some details:

RA Launcher:

- New Dock

- Quick Settings

- Extra stuff I might add

Now, the biggest part of the custom launcher is still missing, but I'm keeping it a secret..

Theme:

At least new colors in the statusbar itself, just to match the ROM.

Maybe I'll also redo the notifications part.

Social HUB:

- Weather

- RSS

Still, more to come, hence Milestone 1

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
So my dads surgery went well and he is home now.

Any updates you ask?

Well, yes!

The launcher Dock is done (except for the actual functions of the buttons..) and I think the framework is done too, that is: I like the way it looks.

The screenshot function is giving me errors and qtadb doesn't work either. Anyone an idea on how to fix this or a workaround?

Dympy

EDIT1:

I want your ideas of what kind of UI to use in the social hub thingy.

A kind of list with all things, or big buttons aligned in a 2 column table?

Also, if you want to help in any way, do contact me through PM!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] coolfire92:
For the social hub ,keep the interface as clutterless as possible.I was thinking instead of list or buttons,by using a gesture(like pull down to refresh in facebook app) to bring a foward a overlay with options to choose what sources(fb,twitter etc) to use for the sns feed.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Smonic:
Use an app called andross
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I was referring to the main page, the pull down to refresh and such was something I was planning to implement.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ak700:
For the social hub, you try have the main page to have the icons of Facebook, twitter etc.

When you tap on one it should lead to sth like a news feeds and we can swipe left and right to coment/like/follow etc(like it was in the sammsung's contact app).

Kind of the basic ui . Hope you understand.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
do you need qtadb? the usb problem is fixed in a7. i dont know about the screen shots though.

for the social hub=> tabs: all, fb, twitter, sms, something else (xda?)

go through the tabs by using two fingers to scroll. (horizontally, obvously.)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I decided I'm going to implement multiple types of main screens, changeable through settings.

And I use qtAdb for developing purposes, for example, using it to explore root directories on my pc.

Tomorrow is my day off and I hope to finish v0.1 of the framework and fix some graphic bugs in the Launcher. I'm also going to finish another paid project first, because I only have about €15 on my account xD

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
bro just say your market dev name and i will probably buy some of ur apps. btw, what is your main theme colour? that would be one of the most important bits of the mod i guess, theres an old persian proverb which says: people's wits are in their eyes. also if you want you can send me the launcher and i can test it for you since you look so busy ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] antaine:
is the theme is a theme chooser theme or you modded framework and apks like in our samsung ROM ??

What you're doing seems to be very nice ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Modded framework and system apks (:

I hope to upload some screenshots later this day, first I have to get my ANTLRworks working for a school project, simply hate the program..

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] antaine:
Did you finish your school project ??
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
No, I completely misunderstood the assignement.. It should just take about half an hour now, but first a break, I need to redesign/align the icons, not happy with them as they are right now.

Also, my modded framework stopped working, have to look into it.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
Just a Suggestion dude, don't mod the base frameworks, instead make a theme using the T-Mobile Theme Engine, it's better, and then you can set it as system default - less chances of it not working that way (as you're already familiar with java/xml n apps)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
the t-mobile theme engine also fails. so far 3 crashes i think (in 3 months... coincidence? i think ont! :p)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] RafayelG:
if you want i can help with the theme, just send me the frameworks and tell met what to do ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
dympy, hows about you putting the new openfimg thingy there? apparantly has real good effects. i recommend you take a look :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] RafayelG:
I think it cant just be put in any rom, if i'm not wrong it needs to be compiled with the source code
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
its just a flashable zip. cwm flash i mean... I THINK, NOT 100% sure

i meant include in ROM from start so ppl dont have to go around looking for it and then flashing and everything. not everyone can compile and all :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
The openFIMG project is something in the kernel (I believe).

So if it's implemented in the kernel, it will be implemented in the ROM.

Also, for other updates.

I somehow did something wrong (still don't know what) because earlier this day my launcher just went into a force-close-loop.. I think I fixed it, but my ADB log is whining about missing permissions for BIND_APPWIDGET, though I specifically declared that in the manifest file.

On other news, the Dock is almost done, so a first impression screen will come soon.

And yes, I know I promised them earlier, but last Sunday I found out this week was packed with exams.. Oops? I had 3 today and have 2 more tomorrow, then I'll have 12 days of doing nothing.

I'm going to work on Milestone 1 for both Social Hub, Launcher and Framework, hoping to release a Pre-Alpha in about 2 weeks.

Rafayel, I would love some help with the framework, I'll PM/mail you my ideas/the needed files later this day, thanks bro.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tomsi191:
Just an idea, but could give your launcher an option to change the wallpaper automatically when switching from portrait to landscape?

The msn messenger:mercury app uses that for the background picture, you have to assign a portrait and a landscape pic and then they autochange as you tilt your phone, its pretty cool.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
^+1 to that.

how about we press manu and rotate phone to landscape from prtrait, then the wallpaper changes? thats cool too.

(translation of what i mean xD) :

1-input several wallpepers

2-go to screens

3-press menu

4-rotate phone

5-wallpaper changes.

6-go back to partrait mode and wallpaper dont change

7-back to step 2 for changing again :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tomsi191:
that looks messy to me...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
The rotation -> change wallpaper thingy is possible, and achievable.

However, I want to focus on other stuff before I start adding things like this.

Just reworking some icons now and then I shall upload a screenshot of the Launcher with dock. I shall probably need to explain what certain buttons do, but it's going to be neat (;

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] koko008:
Sounds really nice, I'll definitely try it! What kernel will it use as stock?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Probably stock with extras, I'll just have to see about that later (;

Anyhow, I believe I promised you a screenshot?

Well, just take a loot at the attachment (;

About 3 buttons are pretty self explaining, the all apps button (most left), the call button (next to the all apps button) and the browser button (2nd from right).

The center button (triangle) will reveal a scrollable list of all favourited apps, this way you can have certain apps available on every homescreen, I thought this was a nice replacement for the dock scrolling.

The most left button (the three dots) will allow access to some quick settings, hardcoded and ROM specific.

Any questions, please do ask them!

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
i think the 1.3 since its on a7 :p but arakmar has changed g3mod too work with alpha 7 so he can also use that

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tomsi191:
That dock looks great, brilliant ideas!!!

please add some color to the notification bar icons and also the setting menu ones, i can't stand all this gray/black/white mess

can't wait for this now :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] koko008:
Dock is really cool! I'd really like the icons on the dock to be customizable (both the app and the icon itself), and some gestures would also be nice -> I really like the option to hide the statusbar with a gesture in GO Launcher Ex.

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

I asked about the kernel, because Kyorakernel looks very promising and also moikop's newest (Astrum), but they're both in developmental stage (Kyora works but not on GB :()

I was planning on making the mms app from source, with some little additions.

So I'll look into the code and enable the enter button through settings or something (;

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Not in version one, was planning on releasing a version with theming later in the process.

Right now waiting on school for some feedback on assignments, when I'm done I'll have myself a mini vacation (12 days off) which will mostly consist of developing and finishing other projects.

But today is my actual day off of programming, since it's my moms birthday :P

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] alen1901:
I was asking in general, not for 1st release. :P thanks. And happy birthday to your mom, make some program for her, for birthday gift. :P

Sent from my GT-I5800
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Okay, well I was planning to make customization a big part in this ROM.

Not only the Dock from the launcher, but also a modded version of CM7's music app to support some theming, maybe even mod the mms.apk in such extend to support theming? Don't know yet.

Today I'm planning on finishing some other apps lying around, retry the systemUI.apk and the framework.apk (@RafayelG, can I PM you for help?) and pick up the Social Hub thingy. We'll see how many screenshots I can release by the end of the day :P

First of all, Updating the first posts!

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Hey guys, update time!

Yesterday I tried messing around with the framework, and realized I need help with this, if you have some advice, please, PLEASE, PM me (I got about 7 bootloops yesterday after trying to change the framework..).

Today was a day without a PC (until now) so not much work is done, however, I think I know how to implement a certain thing in the music player.. Shall try it later this night/tomorrow(And if it works, I'll also know how to add that in another app :P).

Dympy.

EDIT:

Going to try it with dhirend_6d's guide in the themes and apps section. I'll see how far I'll get (;
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] RafayelG:
bootloops? Did you decompile, try wiping cache and dalvik? if that doesn't work then try from begin.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dhirend_6d:
Hmm what had you changed in framework??

I need to update that guide too regarding .9.PNGs.:P I ll do it tomorrow.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Yup, tried both so decided to just go with the stock for developing now (:

I changed some .9.pngs (and yes, I did them with the draw9patch tool in the SDK, it's pretty easy to use IMO).

But tomorrow is a new day and also the day I'll work on this again (or my DIY guitar, not quite sure yet..) Hope you'll update the guide, if so, let me know (;

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Everyone, I asked Pixdev for some help (He's awesome, if you see a post of him in this thread, thank him!) and he came up with a marvelous idea for the settings.

I'm going to try and make his idea come to live, one way or another, probably going to take up a lot of my night, but I don't care, I want it done xD.

Also going to redo the framework, start from scratch, it seemed I edited the wrong files, so I'm going to retry using dhirend_6d's guide (it has exactly the things I want to change explained :P).

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] nsdj:
Good Luck!! I wish you the best. :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
good luck with that! hop to see that done soon ;) :D is the change in settings also a surprise? :p
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Yes it is, I shall see how far I'll get, but I hope to post some kind of first impression screenshot quite soon. Also going to work on the quick settings of the Launcher, having the sources of the original settings is going to help me with that, a lot.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
And I know what was going wrong with the framework..

I pushed it to the wrong folder (why I got bootloops, don't know.. I guess that will remain a mystery xD).

However, I'm still new to theming so I have to look into what to change and their effects on the UI.

So I guess just some trial and error till it works :P

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
you where pushing back to wrong folders? LOL man hahahaha classic mistake :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
And now the editing actually works xD

I managed to change the default wallpaper, so that's a start :P

Now, what do I need to change for the statusbar color..
