Hi Every One

I have a Question and i also need a solution

Question

Today i saw a guy showing his Galaxy S2 to someone he had some unique lancher or tweak on his stock Rom,i Couldnt ask but i saw him

* Opening application just by gestures from side of screen

* It Had Mac like animated Dock on the top

* Pages had slide animations,not like touchwiz

I want to ask is there an app like that? or its a typical launcher?

Solution?

I Have Galaxy Note i find it slower than my Older S2,So i was thinking if some one knows any better launcher which uses less ram like the one he had (Mentioned Above ^) or any of ICS rom or any other rom closer to stock which can fix laggy Transition issue's on galaxy note

(More on this Galaxy Note issue in my this post :- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1521829)

Please let me know if i am posting in wrong section,but i think as my question is much more important here and its about having that app on any android phone so i posted it in Android(Or should i post it Galaxy Note or S2 section too ?, That would be wrong right?)

Looking forward to your kind replies :)

Did anyone has tried the dsixda Android Kitchen to make a custom rom for OB ? Is it working ?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246

or just give me a link to very helpful site about how to make custom rom for OB
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
For starters, yes it works. but nothing compares as to compiling and building from source (Linux).

What you need is a mere system dump or backup from CWM.

That backup will be saved in your CWM folder in SD

Grab the boot.img & system.ext3.tar

unpack the .tar with a zip/RAR propgram

grab a base upater script from the many ROMs around here

Now for a start:

your base ROM like Zeus etc.

Delete the system folder and boot.img from that zip.

Replace files.

Use dsixda kitchen via cygwin (windows)

Now do as you please... :) it can unpack boot.img and add features like init.d etc.

Adding apps:

Apps can be added together with som libs (system/lib). Example: Terminal Emulator. the lib is some "jackpal" or something. .

When you download an app, apk will be saved in data/app in your phone. The lib or added files will be saved in data/data/(app name folder)/lib. Grab the apk and insert in system/app (kitchen's working folder). Grab the lib and insert it in system/lib (kitchen's working folder).
[LG Optimus Black] mdfaisal:
many thanks gabwerkz. I had been searching ebook The Complete Idiot's Guides to custom rom, but I think the book has not published yet. :D
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
I only once tried to cook with kitchen, but that's waaaaay back and there I simply had no clue, of what I am doing :p and those days, the cust ROM I made, didnt work, but I simply randomly applied mods/tweaks and also had no clue of how things like updater-script work, but now I do and maybe as soon as I got some time again (in about 2 months :p) I'll give it another shot and also read a lot about deving on my own and all the stuff related to it. Then maybe I'll be able to help all the cookers here out in a better way, cause until now, I only got the basics ;)

You can start with simply things, like extracting the files with a packer, remove LG bloatware, add files/patches, you can find in dev section, add apps you like and think others might like as well, change lockscreen, launcher, keyboard,...

Remember to always do this step by step and make a changelog for yourself, so you know, where you might have made a mistake (also important for others to be able to help you). Then repack your ROM, sign and test it, if it works properly, use kitchen, to zipaligne, deodex, change filesystem,... And as soon as you are satisfied, post it/PM the good ones in here, to test it and ask for opinions, what you might change next. Custom kernels are always cool, cause you can change way more, like governors, iosched,... But that will take more time to dev and a lot more time to test for errors :)

Hope this helps you out a bit ;)
[LG Optimus Black] mdfaisal:
Your post help me a lot... thanks... I will try what you told me todo...

And If your rom need a bootanimation just PM me right... :cool:
[Vega Themes and Apps] 2minuutes:
I have a terrible Market problem. My Vega loaded with HoneyIce 3.2.7 auto installs Google Play Store which is fine, but when I'm going to click accept on the Terms, it just force-closes. If I'm fast, i can click accept, but it force-closes after that top. When i install an older version of Android Market, it just auto updates and the problem is still the same :S Does anybody know how to fix this?
[Vega Themes and Apps] ejmoska:
I'm having the same problem and i think alot of people will since google play just launched , i havent tryed it yet but i think it should work.

Do factory reset over cwm ,

then in terminal emulator:

su -

pm disable com.android.vending.updater

hope this helps , im gonna try this later myself.
[Vega Themes and Apps] 2minuutes:
It works, thnx :-) You don't need to reset it...
[Vega Themes and Apps] ejmoska:
I just assumed it would need reset because it reverts back to android market from google play. But oh well , glad it helped. :)
[Vega Themes and Apps] 2minuutes:
Okay, I got Google Play wokring. I don't know what i did, but it works... :)
[Vega Themes and Apps] yani2000:
Thanks for the fix! :)

Every time I tried to install/upgrade an app from Market it would say that this app can't be istalled on phone or usb storage. I even tried to install apk files thru manager and it didn't work anymore. :mad:

What I did was:

1. Freeze "Market updater" in Titanium Backup (pm disable does the same thing!)

2. Go in Settings-->Applications-->Manage applications-->All-->Google Shop and clear cache+data and then "Uninstall updates".

3. Restart tablet and Market should work once again! :)

Someone could also post a link to old version (last version before Market was transformed into Google Shop).
[Vega Themes and Apps] ukdtweak:
I had same force closes, all I did was force stop the app, then cleared its data and now it works fine?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] miiike:
I recently purchased a 7+ and not liking the fact that many of the apps seem to run in "phone" mode, two specifically are Words with Friends and Facebook. I've played with the screen density and no settings (tried various 120 -160) seems to change the way those two applications display on the device. Is this something I can change or is it going to depend on the application due to the screen resolution of the 7+?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] orb360:
Reddita and a couple other "tablet only" apps I used to use won't work either.

I think it has to do with the 7" screen resolution or build prop file.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] miiike:
What a shame. I was really hoping I would be able to stick with this over the 7.7 but find it hard to keep if i'm basically going to have 2 similar devices (GN).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] prinzhernan:
I'm about to buy this tab soon. So you mean to say they run as they would on a phone only? Either I get the 7 plus or the 8.9.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] miiike:
Yeah that's the problem. Even changing the screen density down to 120 doesn't change the way they open unless there is something more that needs to be done that i'm not doing.

Does anybody know if it is safe to delete the double items in the android_secure folder on the sd-card ? I have asec files who have the same name ( just the number at the end is different) and the same size. Can I delete the oldest one of the duplicates ? Can the double items cause problems like restarting youre device when you do a full restart ?

[General Topics] Sam Sung:
I just received an update notification for 'Google Play'. Being the cynical type, these type of changes make me suspicious. Oddly enough, a quick search throughout XDA and the internet seems to show that people's only objections to this change revolve mainly (perhaps only ) around the name change. Most don't like the way it sounds, the icons, theme integration, etc.

I find it odd that I can find no mention of Google's probable intent in this matter beyond marketing and 'unification' of Google services. I find it beyond coincidence that Google, just a week or two ago, started sending out notification of changes to their privacy policy.

More than that, I find it odd that no one suspects that there is more behind this than a simple rebranding. After all, Google is a corporate monster whose CEO has clearly and unequivocally stated that privacy of the individual is not only of no concern, but that violation of such privacy should be a given!

A quick look at some of Eric Scmidt's public statements leaves no doubt:

http://www.stateofsearch.com/top-15-of-eric-schmidts-remarkable-quotes/

http://www.seobook.com/eric-schmidt-quotes

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/04/google-ceo-eric-schmidt-privacy_n_776924.html#s170420

No doubt at all in my mind. After all, to the contrary of what many may think, Google is not free. Google makes money (and lots of it) by collecting and selling our personal data.

I'm not sure, however, what can be done about it, other than to either root and lock down one's phone as much as is possible, whilst still retaining as much as possible of the functionality desired. One sure way is to give up my smartphone. The former is an ongoing practice here. The latter? I'm not ready for that (yet).

But does no one really see a day when smartphone tech will be used to track and control

everything

we do? Are we not anticipating that Government will see the value of this data collection technology and use it to their own ends, good or bad?

Another example:

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/01/android-photos/

Our personal data is already being mined and profited from by untrustworthy entities, but at least they only seek profit. How long can we expect profit to be the only driving force?

Paranoid? Maybe. But remember the old saying: "It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you...". To my way of thinking, if they aren't now, they soon will be.
[General Topics] Pantx:
The solution is to crate a separate system. Like diaspora. An separate market, mabe an XDA-Market. I was searching the xda app on the market, yesterday it was there, today not but only the premium. This "update" is not normal, updates are here only for fix and repair from my point of view.

Yep is odd.

Let's create an indipendent system for freedom and liberty, open sorce to improve and sharing ideas.

No country restriction. One world, one nation, one free net global wide.

[General Topics] alpine101:
As you have indirectly pointed out, one can no longer get into the Android apps market unless you agree to accept whatever Google's legal terms are for their 'Play' and 'Books' services. But I don't intend ever to use these.

I wonder how applications developers feel about this.

Google really is getting beyond the pale, presumably introducing this change on a day when they hope that attention will be focussed on whatever Apple are up to. I shall now be looking for alternate market places. A real nuisance for me as I have a new phone and had intended installing my standard set of add ons.

Me: Yeah, the Android Market is now called Google Play Shop

Me: Because Android is made by Google.

Them: Oh, I didn't know that!

Seems that Android is known as a brand of its own. I just assumed everyone (or most people) knew that.

privacy ...

What do you think about this statement ? (in Google Play Terms of Service)

2.4 From time to time, Google may discover a Product on Google Play that violates the Developer Distribution Agreement or other legal agreements, laws, regulations or policies. You agree that in such an instance Google retains the right to remotely remove those applications from your Device at its sole discretion.

So, if i understand right, Google have the right to delete things in my phone ??? :eek: C`mon ... isn`t this weird ??? Google Play mean that Google can play with our phone`s content ???
[General Topics] CharliesTheMan:
Didn't google retain this right with the market way before this change?
[General Topics] joyradu:
Google Play

Did it ? I admit i don`t remember, it was a stock-app and if there was a question about my agreement first time when I used market - well i didn`t read it because i was sure the stock-apps can`t be sooo ... malicious ?

Maybe is not the best word but how would one describe an app wich is able to delete his phone content without his permission ?
