[PORT] [XPERIA EVENTS][new Custom BG][TIMESCAPE's "better" ALTERNATIVE]...[ZEUS][CM7]

GOOD NEWS for those using ZEUS& wanting TS but getting graphical glitches.

the screenshots are form ZEUS. so will work guaranteed :D

ok...i did this port long back,for the xperia x10 mini.that time i only use to have an x10 mini. :rolleyes::D

now that i gave TimeScape to the Op. Black, i thought of sharing this as well.

PREREQUISITE: to have Timescape installed.

the xperia events is actually more "FUNCTIONAL" and "USEABLE" than the timescape (i feel TS is primarily a show-off :p)

flash the TS zip from my other thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1471578) & then

just install the attached apk normally :)

the menu shown with much space below is a problem with the theme i am using with zeus. won't be there in yours.

enjoy :)

FOR ZEUS SPECIFICALLYdelete the TimeScapespline.apk to remove Timescape and use the WIDGET along with XPERIA EVENTS :cool::cool:

Edit 2:New custom background Xperia Events Availabe. looks WAYYYYY better. check out the screenies

hope i helped in customizing your black a bit. ;) :)
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
for getting ONLY EVENT STREAM "WITHOUT" TIMESCAPE in app drawer and the timescape widget,

delete the following under /system/app

1. the unneeded plugins (like i deleted the EventStreamPluginK9Mail.apk as i don't use k9 mail)

2. TimescapeSpline.apk (for removing timescape from app drawer)

3. TimescapeWidget.apk (for removing the widget) if you WANT to use a widget with xperia events, do not delete this. it will sync just fine with XPERIA EVENTS

u can use this app while using other home apps like the LG HOME

check the screenshot :)
[LG Optimus Black] inso420:
Im still getting graphical glitches :(

Should i flash the bravia engine mod also?
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
if you flashed the timescape zip, the B.E.mod is incorporated in it.

u sure using "XPERIA EVENTS" from my 1st post of this thread and STILL getting glitches??!!!!...delete the apps mentioned in the 2nd post, reboot and see if the problem persists.

ALSO: please upload a screenshot with the grahics problem with XPERIA EVENTS. it'll help me in sorting out.

i had problem with Timescape on ZEUS, but never had a problem with the XPERIA EVENTS.
[LG Optimus Black] naeem86:
xperia events are working..but the timescape tiles are still glitchy! and i prefer timescape!:$
[LG Optimus Black] inso420:
No i was using Timescape app

Glitches appear only in timescape tried xperia events is fine.
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
then u gotta wait. i'll try to get TS working in ZEUS after some time. currently, am thinking of dirtying my hands with my iphone4 a bit ;) ;) :D. it's not even jailbroken. lol :D :D
[LG Optimus Black] inso420:
Iphone?? booooooo :p
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
GUYS....XPERIA EVENTS can be usaed as a standalone app with SNS integration.

XPERIA EVENTS is pretty light and has a nice interface. collecting all your social feed in one nifty place is very cool according to me. :)
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
i phone is not all bad. i btw neglect the cell so much that it's not even jailbroken in 6 months:rolleyes:. i use it just for calling &messaging....nd NO, i never had the DEATH GRIP issue.

:D :D :D :D..ON TOPIC PLEASEEEE :D :D :D :D
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
follow 2nd post & delete the Timescape app. it'll be lighter on your system. having two apps doing the same thing is :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[LG Optimus Black] naeem86:
xperia events doesnt have its widget?
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
NO!!!..it doesn't have 1
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
u can try 1 thing though, don't delete the TimescapeWidget.apk and use it as a widget for the XPERIA EVENTS. :)..it'll work just fine
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
Xperia EVENTS with a custom edited background. do check this out. looks really cool :cool::cool:
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
created an flashable zip to install Xperia Events, BraviaEngine, Widget, and all the other stuff needed :D DOWNLOAD (link updated)

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

just found out on click e problem.. in the Timescape Widget if you click the upper right icon(button to open Xperia events) i'll get the error that timescape isn't installed.? please Help!
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
yes...because TIMESCAPE is NOT installed :p

this is the xperia events port exclusively done by me, which uses the same skeleton framework as TIMESCAPE.

actually the timescape UI that you see is the app called "timescapespline" and in xperia events, it is NOT installed (since ZEUS is having graphical problem with it).

xperia events CAN use the timescape widget just like normal, so i kept it.

but the upper icon is to open the timescape app and will not work with xperia events.

hope i helped. :)
[LG Optimus Black] diogopc:
ok so I flashed to timescape + be from your other thread but I can't find it in my sdcard in order to delete and install the xperia events :/ basically I couldn't get rid of timespace even if I wanted to lol
[LG Optimus Black] keith456:
no extenstion are showing eg fb or call log or sms in xperia events , i do not get force close just a home button on the screen . other then timescape what else do you need instaled as minimum for xperia events to work ?
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
sorry for replying late...u can find the apps @ /system/app and the respective folders as the provided zip. just use any root file manager and delete them.

BUT u don't NEED to delete timescape for installing XPERIA EVENTS. if you are having the graphical glitch, please delete the TimescapeSpLine.apk and you would be good to go :)

u need the "event streams" (the main app, the eventstreams 'extensions' as given and the spline to get the xperia events going) and also can use the generic timescape widget to get the xperia events notification on your homescreen.

hope i helped.

HOWEVER, please note, am saying this ALL from my memory since someone stole my optimus black a few days back. so please don't flame if i go wrong somewhere.:o
[LG Optimus Black] keith456:
thank you so much , i got it to work ..

with timescape i get large text on the cards does this mean its not suited to my phones res ?
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
which cell are you using?? for MDPI, search the galaxy ace forum, for ldpi, search the x10 mini forum.
[LG Optimus Black] keith456:
using a htc desire thanks again loving the xperia events port
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
:) :)..xperia events was the very first port of mine. did it from the xperia mini of my friends to my x10 mini and then released it at xda:p:D:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsenic.:
I know this is the wrong section but I dont have enough posts to get into the right section , and I cant make 10 posts without creating spam, as a webmaster I know how much spam sucks and users saying "cool post, kthxbai" 10 times.

Anyways,

I'm brand new to android development, I just got eclipse set up and working. When I try to drag and drop any buttons to the emulated screen, the orange lines prevent me from dropping and buttons or elements. I have no idea why the lines are there because I used to be able to drag and drop just fine.

here is an image of my screen, apparently I need 8 posts to have a picture link :(

How do I get rid of these orange lines, and what do they mean?

I very much appreciate any help I can get and I greatly appreciate you for your time. Thank you :)
[LG Revolution] billney:
Just curious if anyone has tried to trade in this phone at Verizon under their trade in program. Is it worth anything?
[LG Revolution] droidgenius:
Nope... my dad got a replacement though... they made that really easy.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
It's worth $66. That's a little depressing lol.

https://www.trade-in.vzw.com/Acceptance_Page.aspx
[LG Revolution] billney:
Oh well, guess I'll have to wait until September and use my wife's upgrade to get a Droid Maxx
[LG Revolution] sgschwend:
How about this?

I have had a few calls to service, the issue is that the 4Ghotspot won't download data to my PC(s) even though I can obtain data using the phone's browser or on tether. If I wait long enough the data will work (something like 10-15 minutes). This does not happen every time but often. If they delete my account and add it again everything work great, but in a few hours it may be messed up again.

The support person offered to send me a Razr, I told him to make it a Maxx, but he was stuck on the idea that he only had a Razr. So one is coming tomorrow to see if this solve the problem.

I will be amazed if this fixes the problem, but I figure it is nice to see them offer a different phone to help with the issue.

Their Network team is working on the issue too. I think an overhead application on their end is where the problem is, I have used a local application that tests the path from my PC to any Internet IP address, it show each IP address, the hop time, and data lost rate in both directions. The my PC, phone and the network hardware is working just fine.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Why would I do something crazy like that? I know I haven't. I still love the phone, and my wife will concur that I only like technology for 3 months before I feel the urge to upgrade. I am getting itchy just thinking about my tv, **** now my laptop. The government is giving me a couple bucks. Hmmmm.

Please hold for a Verizon Wireless sales representative to assist you with your order. Thank you for your patience.

You are now chatting with 'Latonya'

You: Does Verizon have a trade in program?

Latonya: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?

Latonya: I will be more than happy to assist you with our trade in program.

Latonya: Of course, we do have a trade in program.

You: k

You: can you give me a rough est. on what my phone would be worth if I traded it in?

Latonya: I can send you a link to checking to see how much your phone is worth.

You: okay

Latonya: One moment please.

You: And if I trade in, do I have to sign a new contract? Or would I have to pay full price for a new device?

You: And as a Verizon employee what phone do you have?

Latonya: click here please

https://www.trade-in.vzw.com/Acceptance_Page.aspx

To clarify what you are asking, are you Verizon employee?

You: I am asking you, what phone you use

You: sorry

Latonya: That's ok.

Latonya: Right now I have the Blackberry tour but i'm about to upgrade to the Razr 32GB.

You: very cool

You: thank you very much for your help.

You: If I trade in my phone and I get another, then what?

Latonya: How did it work for you?

You: I have a LG Revo, and I love it, it's only valued at 66 for a trade in.

You: So I may keep it.

You: And just wait for my contract to term

Latonya: That is correct.

Latonya: Are you eligible for an upgrade?

You: I am holding my breath to see what Google does with it's purchase of Motorola.

You: Probably not

You: I think I have been a customer for 7 months

You: certainly not 2 years yet

Latonya: I can check for you if you like.

You: plus I have the unlimited data, so I wouldn't want to give that up

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

Jeez, see if they will throw in a kitchen sink too. LOL. They have the MAXX. I don't like Verizon sales. You need to do research, or they will stick you with crap. Heard them telling a customer, that no companies do unlimited data. And he was trying to push the Ipad on the guy.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
There aren't any companies that offer truly unlimited data. Even Sprint recently announced that they throttle peoples data.
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
I'm so happy that I have my unlimited data. 4g speeds and sometimes around 74GB for the month (I pay for the HotSpot) and never a drop in speed. People may complain about Verizon, but I challenge anyone to give me a truly better service than Verizon can. (The only thing that would cause me to leave Verizon at this point is taking away my grandfathered unlimited data plan)

Verizon customer service has gone down a bit, but still surpasses any others I've ever dealt with. Even when they had 3 outages (4g) in December, I made a friendly call and explained I was not happy with the fact my 4g HotSpot was proving useless for the month and a time I really needed it (out of town for Holidays). They gave me a $30 credit without skipping a beat.

T-Mobile has Unlimited 4g Service, which includes Tethering, for $30/month on a prepaid plan. That's the BEST plan/price for max data. But, the 4g speeds are only for the first 5gb, after that, it goes to 2g, which is basically Dial-Up speed. In other words, some major throttling going on there.

Oh, and to add something to go with the OP... eBay or Craigslist your phone(s). Never trade in. You will never get what the phone is worth on the trade in. My Droid 2 Global was worth $56 trade-in. I got $220 on eBay...

-Cybie
[LG Revolution] keynith:
Cybies right. I've sold old ass phones on ebay. Sold the old first gen razor for 25$ and got 40$ for an old cingular sliding keyboard.
[LG Revolution] Big Cam:
I've been on Verizon unlimited for years and I've had 4g for about 7 months. I never thought I was affected by throttling even though I knew they did it until recently this month. I have 3 days left in my cycle, I'm at about 11GB and sometimes webpages take for ever to load and even time out on me.

If i download a file, the speed seems the same, for example I downlaod a 100mb podcast each day and that takes about the same time as normal.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
They only throttle the top 5% I believe so you should be good.
[LG Revolution] ufkal:
The top 5%? of users or data?
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Top 5% of users based on data transfer usage. So all these people tethering for like 100gb a month, they'll get throttled.
[LG Revolution] ufkal:
Excellent information to have. Thanks!!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sufy1000:
Hi I just got a brand new Xperia Play today I turned it on and it had 18% battery life left.

I wanted to ask how long shall I charge the Xperia Play for ?

Thanks
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
Leave it on the charger until it says 100%. In fact, it would be even better if you let it go completely dead and then charged it. I usually just put mine on the charger when I go to bed and it's full when I get up. I think it only takes a couple hours otherwise.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sufy1000:
So you leave it on charge for the whole night ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Does anyone know why the battery goes down even when the phone is idle? By go down, I mean quite recognizably as my old ZTE blade didn't seem to do this significantly.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sufy1000:
That happens with my Xperia Play as well even though I don't have any apps running. Btw how much does yours go down by? A few percent is normal.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n0_face:
Because you're device still requires power to run, even if it's in the idle state. When the phone is in Standby and Idle, it will require far less power then say if the screen is turned on but not doing anything. You may have to see if there are other running services in the background (which is most likely the case).

After rooting and removing most/all bloatware, you'll notice that standby/idle take hardly any battery life from your phone.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LG_fuad92:
Hi! Every phone that was newly bought should charge up to 8 hours. Every phone dealer told me that, I even charge mine 8 hours when I first bought it. It'll be better if you charge it 8 hours at first, the battery will last longer.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sufy1000:
I actually don't think charging it for 8 hours prolongs the battery life.

4 hours is enough.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michealtbh:
It doesn't matter with modern lithium batteries, just charge it as and when you like
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sufy1000:
Yeah true. Just charge it until you reach 100%. It doesn't make a difference if you leave the charger in or not after 100%
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Thanks guys
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LG_fuad92:
maybe, anyways I think just charge it up to 100% and let charge for a little more while, and just unplug it and you're Playstation Certified! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LBTaylor1984:
Ok peeps,

I know if I ask either forum i'll get a bias view but i'm hoping someone here can answer this for me.

I've got a SGS2 (got it on release, with the perfect screen and perfect camera)

Now when the GN came out i loved the design and i've been playing around with ICS on the SGS2 in it's Alpha guise.

So i'm becoming sorely tempted to convert to the 'Google Experience' and get a GN

However as we all know the difference between the two isn't huge.

First has anyone changed to a GN from a SGS2 and can give me a no BS assessment of just what the GN is like compared to the SGS2 in real world terms, and for a period longer than visiting a mobile phone shop.

My main likes is the near instant camera, the larger high DPI screen and ICS of course. I'm also really liking the shape instead of this large square i own.

However in the UK it's £530 and thats in cold blood, i'm uneasy paying that based on a fancy, as i'll be lucky to get £230 back for the SGS2 still making it £300. So you get the basis of what i'm getting at.

Is the GN a worthy change from the SGS2, and if you have a GN and never owned a SGS2 what do you like

and if you HAD a SGS2 and swapped to a GN why and what made it better for you.

Thanks to everyone who responds :)

Luke.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
I had the same thinking you did when I switched from Galaxy S1 to Nexus S. I know you said Galaxy Nexus. But even still, touchwiz cannot match stock Android. Especially to ice cream sandwich. Have you seen 4.0 on touchwiz? It practically made it look horrendous.

I believed I saw some threads in the past in regards to switching from S2 to the GN. If you search for it, I'm sure you'll find something.

Stock android + Developers phone. Can't get any better than that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] str355:
cant help with the questions as i've never used a SGS2, but the nexus is £515 from three (£500 + £15 PAYG sim).

i've not used the three sim i got with mine on release, but they wont sell it without you buying the PAYG sim as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
There have been a handful of threads exactly like this with people switching from SGSII to SGN, you should take a look and see what the OP's came to in those.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mkarps:
No touchwiz makes it well worth it. HD screen is a huge plus. ICS (without touchwiz).

However....both are awesome phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LBTaylor1984:
hmm didn't see anything i'll extend my searching. thanks for the replies gentlemen :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unorthodoxed:
I came from S2 (Epic 4G touch) on Sprint to GN on Verizon. I did enjoy the S2 but disliked the fact that I had to run custom ROMs to get decent battery life out of it. I enjoyed the screen and camera on the phone and I did not mind touchwiz. I ran UnNamed as my daily once it was released for the CDMA version of the S2. I liked it but the speeds in my area on Sprint were on average less than .25 Mbps which I consider horrible and unacceptable. I'd been with Sprint for 12 years and had basically had enough. I had the S2 since 09/2011 and sold it since it paid for my entire ETF with Sprint.

I'd been eying the GN for quite some time but I'd have to make the switch to Verizon. ICS has taken a bit to get used to as it's obviously a huge change from my S2. I've had the GN for just 3 days now and I'm glad I made the switch. The only thing I miss from the S2 is its camera. I really liked the Samsung camera app and quality from the S2. However, I don't take many pictures with my cellphone so I don't need that great of quality.

I'm glad I made the switch but mine was ultimately due to poor service from my provider.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Qortez1:
I've had 3 GS2, all variants with Exynos, and I have to say I love this phone much more than I did the GS2! The screen is the most loved feature, then comes the overall UI speed rivaling the GS2 and in a lot of ways crushing it and everything from the sexy curves to the overall build quality. And you can sell your GS2 for $500 or $600 easily on here or Ebay
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ph00ny:
I'm actually opposite to most of you guys in here

ICS stock launcher to me seems to be as confined as a stock Touchwiz on the S2

Outside of the hardware acceleration and few features like multitasking manager and face unlock, i actually like the overall feel and flow of TW

Anything prior to TW4, i hated TW but subtle addons to TW in S2 was actually livable. I did use LP as my primary launcher purely for the fact that i couldn't select the main home screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] omersak:
The SGSII's camera is great and much, much better than the GN's, which is merely average. other than that the GN absolutely trumps the SGSII.

bottom line: if you don't use the camera much then the GN is well worth the upgrade. IMO, the best smartphone around at the moment.

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

The only decent thing about TW4 is it's launcher. Actually, the launcher's quite a bit more than decent - i loved how smooth it was with LWP's, and also how the widgets were laid out. Perhaps the best launcher out there.

Other than that i find TW4 unbearable - not because it performs poorly but because of how it offends my eyes - from the color scheme used to the overly cartoony icons to the horribly designed and colored phone, contacts, call screen, email, messaging applications to the unbearably fruity ringtones.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thompsd:
Wanted to get a spare cord to keep in my travel bag and was kind of shocked to see how much these are, even on ebay and ordering from Hong Kong they were in the $15-20 range. I just happened to be in Office Depot the other day and thought I'd see what they had and they have the official Asus charger and cord for $29.50. This is about $15 less than amazon, still to much IMHO but better than what else is out there. I bought one & tried it out and it works on the prime, looks to be identical to what came with it.

Not really. You can change the skip-time to "track" which will jump one file back/forward, so if you have one file for each chapter it will work. The player does not read chapter metadata from files.
