Well, going to skip pre-alpha and going straight to Alpha.

I really hope I get things done by the end of this month, as explained in the blog, I found a spanish tutorial for Youtube and trying to implement this now :P

Just have to figure out which one of the 2 UI's I have in mind I'll use..

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Well all code snippets are English, so that in combination with all other text translated to English will do :P

Also, please other devs, don't hesitate to upload your own Custom ROMs over there!

I want to be able to add them to Pyramid once it's done :P

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Hey all,

Today I'm changing the libraries I use from ActionBarSherlock to GreenDroid.

Why? Because the GreenDroid Library has a lot more customization options(and easier).

And beside that, GreenDroid adds more then just the ActionBar.

However it does require some rewriting of code, but when that's done it's pretty easy to create newer layouts, for example the YouTube Layout (I decided which UI to use, but couldn't do that with ActionBarSherlock).

If you're interested, look them up on Google (:

Both libraries also have demo apps in the Market (Or Google Play, but I hat that name).

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pixdev:
For anyone who is interested, I've posted a screen-grab of the hits for the RA-Mod site over at RA-Mod Forums - you can access them here. Thanks for the support from the community - it's great to have that level of visitors especially considering we've only been tracking site visits for 2 days!

EDIT: It's probably worth pointing out that those stats don't include the forum stats, I'm going to work on enabling recording on there tonight.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Totally forgot to provide updates for you guys!

So yeah, not that much has happened, I ported the existing app to the newer library, harkan89 made pretty neat icons and wiggierip redid all weather icons for the Social HuB.

Oh, and speaking about the Social HuB, I kinda got YouTube working :D

More info will be found on the newest commit, available soon on my github, just have to find a way to define the quality..

Since I can't get screenshots working, I'm just going to make a new video showing off all new features.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] harkan89:
Hey.. I've sent you a PM on RA-Mod Forums.. Do check it out when you get time :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I saw it, looks pretty neat, but for site related stuff you'll have to knock on Pixdevs door :P

I'm finishing up some layouts for the YouTube part and then I'll make a video of the current progress.

Well, this is a CyanogenMod derived ROM, so I think this image is appropriate (and no, this isn't a RA-Mod screenshot)

Although you haven't technically asked for an ETA, it still puts Dympy under pressure - he wants to get it right before it is released, as Dympy said in a previous post I believe.

Also, I presume you mean releases instead of updates, as Dympy has been releasing updates on ROM progress fairly regularly ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] koko008:
I've just visited the homepage for Ra-Mod, and I have to say it's qiute impressive! Congrats to the devs! :)

Another update, brought to you guys from my ride home from John Carter, awesome movie btw :P

Anyhow, regarding the YouTube part of Social HuB, I'm having the weirdest layout bug.. I know the XML is right, because of the sizes, but absolutely nothing except the title is set. The thumbnails get downloaded and everything else is parsed correctly.

I just want to finish this part before I make another video.

More updates will follow as soon as I get that nasty bug fixed..

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Almost forgot to post it here, it was already on the RA-mod forums, so kinda forgot it :P

I fixed the YouTube UI bug!

It was quite simple and stupid of me to oversee it..

So now all I have to do is fix minor parts in the list items, transfer the code to his own class and reimplement it for the search part and then YouTube is mostly done (Except for comments and the user subscriptions, have to look into that)

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] koko008:

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Hey guys, not a lot of updates lately because I'm sick (did post it in the RA-mod forum, forgot to post it here).

But to make it up to you guys, here's a little update (Copied from RA-mod forum).

I couldn't sleep because my coughing keeps me awake, so I decided to do some programming.

Found a nice temp solution for the subscriptions in the YouTube part.

Do you guys mind filling in your YouTube account name instead of signing in with YouTube?

Thinking of finishing YouTube tomorrow, right now going to give my bed a second chance :P

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Sorry for so long not updating, but I just finished another school project, so I'll have some more time on my hands :D

In case you are wondering what that school project was, I'll give you a brief explanation and a link to the video.

For the course Embedded System we got the task to program an Embedded System developed by school (It was called the IvIbot, don't ask me why).

The task we had was quite simple: Come up with something creative and do it!

Me and my colleague already decided we wanted to do something with the movement of a Wii-mote. The first thing we thought of was making the little robot Radio Controlled, but then we found out the motors in the thing were kinda broken.

Then, after watching an episode of The Big Bang Theory, I came up with the idea to remake a Theremin (link)! We did some research and found out there was a little speaker on board of the robot which was able to produce buzzes, after some code rewriting I had a working method which took the frequency as a parameter.

Then I had to write some Java Code to intercept the movement of the Wii-mote and parse the values of the pitch to the IvIbot, this wasn't that hard, the hardest part was finding a working bluetooth stack to go with BlueCove.

After that was done I could make "Music", you can check it out here (In the description are both a Dutch and English version ;)):

Question. Will you base your rom on cm7.2 when marcellubse release it?

Sent from my Nexus S
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Yes it will.

I'll be compiling from source using the device MarcellusBe made.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] antaine:
Will you base the ROM on CM9 when it will be stable and every hardware working ??
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Well, yes and no.

Yes, if there's a stable ICS release I'll start working on porting the apps to ICS (with the real ICS look and feel, so not libraries needed).

No, it won't be CM9 based, most likely AOKP based because of the amount of customization you have.

Will have to see how both will work, maybe a mix of both, so the best of both worlds.

Just thought I'd let you know that the main X10 SQL server is down (I think), so the forums are currently unavailable. Looking at alternative SQL servers as a backup in case this happens again...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Still messing around with the framework, I think I finally found a decent reference guide.

I'm trying another change right now, but I think something went horribly wrong because I'm bootlooping xD

I'll just wait some more and then I'll push the working framework back, hoping it will fix things..

Dympy.

Ps. If you know any good tools for editing framework-res.apk, please do tell, APKtool/APKmanager doesn't show the values folder, in which I want to edit things..

EDIT1:

Yup, bootlooping, going back to previously working Framework xD
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pixdev:
http://ramod.x10.mx/forum is back up again :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Hey guys, another framework update, but not a good one..

So yeah, I'm currently stuck with the framework.

I use APKManager 5.2 to edit the apk (for now, just to test, eventually it will also be build from source), but in my opinion, the way it's not working is just not logical..

See, this is what I do and what has worked so far:

I decompile the framework-res.apk, I change some .9.png's, I recompile without signing (Because of System app), I push, reboot and it works.

Now I'm trying to edit the text colors, which are located in a few XML files in the /res/values/ folder.

Now when I try to recompile I have to remove the resources.arsc file from that folder, but the folder doesn't appear!

So I just remove the global resources.arsc file and push, reboots, and get a bootloop.

I thought, hey, there must be something wrong with the XML.

So I push the framework backup (edited, working version), boot and everything works.

Now I re-pull this working version, decompile, don't change anything, recompile, push, and again, Bootloop.

I don't know what's wrong, but something is wrong..

Any help/tips are appreciated.

Dympy
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] alen1901:
I used winrar to extract framework-res.apk, than changed pngs there and just opened another framework with winrar and pull changed pngs in there. Maybe you could do the same with changed xml files? Because i used modified progress_horizonal.xml and pulled it to framework opened with winrar, and it worked fine. This is the only thing that came up on my mind.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Thanks, I'll try that, hoping it will work..

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dhirend_6d:
I didn t get you. You can t see the "KEEP" folder when you recompile??

No this method does not always work and will definitely not work if the XML is in /res/values/ because the "values" folder is only visible when you decompile framework-res.apk. The whole values folder is actually a part of resources.arsc.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I do see the KEEP folder, and inside that the res folder.

But inside the res folder there isn't a values folder.

But then again, if I just decompile and immediately recompile without changing anything, it still causes a bootloop..

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pixdev:
Not sure if this will work with framework-res.apk, but when I was editing SystemUI.apk I extracted the apk, opened the original apk in 7-Zip, did all the edits in the extracted files and then copied them back into the original APK via 7-Zip (without recompiling). It's similar to (for any Crafties out there) how you would edit minecraft.jar ...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ahsanaimad:
you don't have to delete any file for xml edit in values except deleting the resources.arsc
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Nevermind, I fixed the problem :D

First I decompile it with APKManager, make my changes, recompile, open a working framework-res.apk with 7zip, open the newly compiled framework-res.apk, copy the edited files, and done.

This works with .9.pngs, hoping it will also work with xml files :P

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
BTW, I found out why it got me bootlooped (probably).

When I open the created framework-res.apk with 7zip, there's no values folder..

Absolutely none!

So yeah, that DOES explain a lot xD

Dympy.

EDIT:

Nevermind, it seems there's no values folder in the working version either..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
Nope, it doesnt, as the values folder is in the resources.arsc file, appears only when the apk is decompiled :p
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Yeah, I just figured that one out :P

Anyhow, any tips on edutting XML in the values folder?

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
yea, got some

Use a proper text editor if using Windows - Notepad ++ preferred

You already know how to make apps, so thats it
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Yeah, the actual editing works, but when I recompile using APKManager and push it to the phone, it just bootloops.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dhirend_6d:
Well make sure you have selected "Compression level 0". If you don t get errors while compiling then you should notget bootloops.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
And still if it does (shouldn't really unless you've messed with something else), you always have logcat (you might also know how to use ddms, dont u? :p)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Well, I finally found a way to make it work xD

First I pull a working version of the framework from my G3, then I decompile it in APKManager, make my changes and recompile (with compression level 0).

If I push that, it gets bootlooped.

BUT, if I extract the resources.arsc file from that apk and using 7zip add that to the working version (overwriting the old version), it won't bootloop and the changes have been made!

Now I just need to change the shadow of the notifications, the selected state of the notifications, the subtext and the widgetbar, then I'm mostly done :D

So I hope I have a new screenshot by tonight :)

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
(The following post is literally copied from the RA-mod forums)

Okay, I've kinda had it with the framework for now xD

It kinda looks like I want it to, but there are still minor "bugs" I can't get rid of.

For instance:

Underneath each notification in the expanded statusbar is a white line I can't seem to remove.

It's something which really bugs me and I've just had enough.

So I decided to do some actual developing of my own, and I just finshed the major part of the YouTube part in the Social HuB.

I can now receive my own subscriptions after entering my youtube account name in the settings.

I'm probably still missing some checks (Like checking if it's actually one word, or if the account entered actually exists) but those are quite easy to fix and I'll fix them once I get the VideoOverview part done (the full description, full title, number of likes, number of comments (comments will be added in a later state) and ofcourse the actual video playing :P).

Now for the actual videoplaying part I have to edit the library itself.

I don't know why, but the creators of the library thought It was a good idea to automatically go for the highest quality..

In my opinion this is not the best way to go, especially if you have low bandwidth or slow internet.

Well, this was your weekly update, I'm going back to developing :P

Build 1?

So guys, I was just wondering how many of you would be interested in a build one with the following functions working:

- Slightly customized Launcher

- Slightly customized settings

- Slightly customized Music

- Slightly customized framework

- Current version of RA-Social (no Twitter or Facebook yet)

- Current version of Pyramid (for the next update)

- All build from source

Let me know what you guys think (:

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] antaine:
Can you add a watch later/ watch offline function in youtube it would be nice
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Don't know and honestly don't care :P

As long as the ROM I'll make is something people like I don't really care about the feedback.

Thanks and noted (:

The watch later function is quite possible, it would just mean adding the model to a temporary array list which I can write to the sd card and read out when needed. The watch offline is basically downloading the video to the SD card, but still make it appear in a special section in the youtube part. So this too is possible, but will take some time for me to figure it out.

Before I actually release Build 1 I still have to figure out how the OpenYouTubePlayerActivity Library works into his full extend, wouldn't take too long though, it's just that I'm kinda time bound because of school projects and such.

Dympy
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
BTW, I got the source to the OpenYouTubePlayerActivity library and figured out what to change to actually choose the quality.

Going to add that tomorrow, right now I'm tired and need some sleep (It's 02:23 right now).

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Yeah, YouTube is pretty much hating me right now I guess.

You see, the quality of the video is defined by a so called fmt value.

These values correspond with, E.G., 360p, 480p, all the way up to 2304p.

The only problem is, the Android Media Player (which is pretty much used in a lot of apps (Including stock video and music app) only supports 3gp videos for streaming..

..At least, that's what they want you to think.

You see, the fmt value for LQ (240p, which would run on our phones without any problems) doesn't appear in the supported fmt values list YouTube provides.

Now I found a work around to make it work, but that means it only works with 360p as the lowest available source, in MP4..

Now this is according to the documentation not possible, but somehow it just streams perfectly..

..Except for the fact that video isn't supported because of the quality.

I'm going to try it with Lebidou's video codecs and experiment what qualities it will support.

I'll report back if I know which formats are supported.

Dympy.

EDIT:

List of working qualities:

- 360p (MP4 format, 640x360 resolution, 96 bitrate, working without any flaws.)

- 480p (WebM format, 854x480 resolution, 128 bitrate, working sound, no moving pictures)

- 1080p (MP4 format, 1920x1080 resolution, 152 bitrate, 1 second of sound, no pictures, then it crashes :P)

Also, since the RA-Social is going to be used on multiple device, I'll keep the options to choose the quality. My Archos 43IT (one of the other to be supported devices) can decode 1080P, so that device could use that option.
