[G1 Android Development] deprecate:
Nothing is permanent.

The reason those apps returned after installing a theme is because those apps are present in the app folder in update.zip.

You can remove them again or simply remove them from the theme update.zip and then apply it.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
The actual theme only consists of modifying framework-res.apk. In /system/apps is where you would delete stock programs, but it generally leads to stability issues when done so.

As far as permanence, if you do a wipe, then install a new version of an os, you will be stuck with whatever is in the update.zip package. You would need to pull the framework-res.apk from that new version, and then resign it, then install it in recovery mode.

The splash1 image is permanent, the splash2 isn't permanent if you decide to change themes, or wipe your phone (from my experience.)
[G1 Android Development] Stericson:
Actualy, theming has to deal with modifying every apk. Yes majority of the work is done with framework but a good deal of work is done to launcher.apk, contacts.apk, and various other apks for custom icons and things related specifically to the apps theselves.

Stericson
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
Now see, this is why I said right away that I'm a noob in this. I don't know what framework is, how launcher.apk works, etc, etc etc...

I kind of figured out that I will need to remove alarm and amazon again (from my earlier experience) but I really need someone to basically go thru the list and say "this will stay" or "you will need to do this again". This way I will compile a little "to do after theme install" list. I also would like to know what would happen if I end up doing the same mod twice, like running a command to move move all the apps to sd, not that I want to do it but hey, sh** happens.

At any rate, thanks to all for your replies.:D:D

Oh yeah stericson, I forgot about those haha. =]

[Touch HD General] stsalkit:
I have the following requirement and would like some advice:

I have two PCs - one for work and one for personal use at home. My HD is connected directly and constantly with microsoft exchange server of my company, so using push mail I have all my mail, contacts etc. totally synced with my office.

I would also like to be able to sync the calendar and contacts info (not emails), with my home PC, which obviously does not have the certificates etc. required by my company. My home PC runs Vista. When I first connected my HD to Vista, it created a new partnership, along to the Microsoft Exchange one but it did not exchange any data.

I hope I described the issue clearly. Is there any way I can do it?
[Touch HD General] Farcorfe:
I would suggest you delete (end) the partnership woth your home PC, then reconnect. When setting up the new connection, untick the box next to "email". That should be a straight forward back up.

You might also like to tell the home PC that the mobile device is the updated one, and it should not over-write any duplicates.

Hope this helps!
[Touch HD General] stsalkit:
Thank you - just one question, how do I tell the home PC that the mobile device is the update one?
[Touch HD General] Farcorfe:
My mistake, it's a mobile setting, not a PC one.

Before you're connected On your mobile go to Activesync then select Menu>Options and click on "home PC" or whatever you named it and tap "settings".

There's a drop box saying "If there is a conflict:" and change it to "keep the item on my device". This way your work PC's contacts, calendar etc will be themaster and any changes won't be affected from home.

This works for me and hope it helps.

I've got Juicy ROM 3.7

and this problem is one of my only problems

90% of the time, I hit that little keyboard button on the screen and it presses save/menu or a key. Its a big PITA.

The Button to open/close the keyboard is very hard to hit. Is there a way I can assign a button on the phone itself to open/close the keyboard instead of hitting that little box? Its not very efficient and bugs the crap outta me. Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Zexell:

I used the Oxygen Refit icons from deviantdark over on deviant art to create this theme, as well as a wallpaper from ToffeeNut on deviant art also. Got the idea when seeing some web2.0 sticker icons. Most app icons replaced on stock theme and most of the icons in menus (at least the ones I see all the time :) ) have been replaced. Again only an rc30 theme but if someone wants to port it they can. Autorotate browser is built in but just like in my last theme for it to work you need to remove the Browser.odex from your phone for it to work

my question is though, why the starbucks coffee cup? haha

and also, would it be possible to replace it altogether with the fingerprint from Blue Star 5? if so, I'd download that in a heartbeat!

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] TurboTsi:
Do you still need to remove the browser.odex for the auto rotate to work for 1.41?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] LPChris:
I really like the icon set, however I don't think the status bar really matches the rest of the theme. Can you change it from the dull gray to a light blue or green or something?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jdwme:
nope should work just fine without removing it
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jdwme:

# rm /system/app/Browser.odex

rm: remove '/system/app/Browser.odex'?

What do i do now? type in yes?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jdwme:
you shouldn't have to remove the browser odex after updating to jf 1.41. Do this,

su

ls /system/app

and see if you have the browser odex listed. If you do then use the rm code you listed, if it ask if you want to remove it you don't have root or superuser is not giving permission to the terminal emulator

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] martalegawa:
hi guys...

i've been using the himalaya for almost 4years now (bought it brand new for about $750), and last month i got myself a mint Alpine in my hand for about $90

after almost a week sneaking some time in the office to browse the forum, i realized that i can't put WM5/6 in my alpine

too bad, alpine's way better than himalaya (wifi, better bluetooth compatibility, better camera, better stability)

but i'm in a middle of a crossroad here, one of the must go (it would look ridiculous for me to carry 2 XDAs anywhere)

should i choose.......what? can't decide:confused:

any "illuminati" from anyone?

(well, to be honest i also had been saving money to buy a decent XDA FLame...cost about $450 2nd mint condition)
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] martalegawa:
hmmm.....

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] ShadowswordPL:

-Wifi

Wm2003 is still cool!
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] kalya:
Old is gold

If you got a decent backup then 2003 doesn't matter,apart from mail function,but please do check the internal batteries of both the xda devices because my 6.1 himalaya resets after every 2-3 hours and date and time are set to 2005 something but apart from that everything is fine.So do check - compare the hardware.Cheers.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] nicktgr15:
I also have an alpine and a himalaya ...and of course i prefer Alpine. But wm2003 are a bit annoying....i really like wm6 threaded sms :/
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] martalegawa:
thanks for the reply...

really appreciated:)

@nicktgr15:

yup...too bad alpine can't be upgraded to WM

@kalya:

feel sorry for your problem, but mine's still good.

it's just that the himalaya's battery is dropping (50% and it's dead)

gotta put the 'ol battery out from its misery...:p

@ShadowswordPL:

couldn't agree more!:D

...so there's absolutely NO WAY an Alpine used WM6? Oh well....

the reason i want WM6 is that i want to try PointUI, they got their new version for WM6

my friend, who got a cooked Himalaya w/WM6, use it and it looked awesome.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] abuabdillahaljawi:
You can use pointui 1.02 on Alpine. The animation is better than the pointui 2.

for threaded sms you can use VITO SMS chat. and so on.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] karateka_sd:
Guys,

I'm in front of a peculiar problem in my HTC Touch diamond; it started around 2 weeks back when I powered on the device it got stuck up at the point where it displays "Touch Diamond" in white fonts in black background...normally, after this point the version details flash in red font at the bottom right corner... But in this case it's getting stuck up at this point not displaying the version details like R 1.09.25.23 …. etc.

assuming that the battery charge is low, I put the device on charging, then after flashing the centre (round) button white light twice or thrice, the device start reboot again and again got stuck up at the "Touch diamond" point, if I continue to charge the set, this cycle starts repeating endlessly.

Then, to check, I got the battery charged in an external charger for 24 hours, and also procured a thick battery (Model. DIAM171, Rating: 3.7 V DC & 1340 mAh) too, and kept the device open for 48 hours or so. The device started smoothly and was functioning well for next ten days.

Then this insect called "new ROM" started biting my brain (?), and at first I had flashed an unsigned hardSPL v1.40 Olinex. Then Radio 1.09.25.23 and then the Sone wwe 2.1. All the flashes were done individually, and successfully.

And by the way, I'm no monkey to this flashing thing too, of course, the courtesy and credit goes to the whiz kids of XDA-Developers for the learning imparted on me. Earlier I'd flashed i mate KJam, then HTC ARTEMIS successfully too.

But, alas, after running the new rom nicely for a few calls, and after one more soft reset, it has come back to square one. That is, "when I powered on the device it got stuck up at the point where it displays "Touch Diamond" in white fonts in black background...normally after this point the version details flash in red font at the bottom right corner... But in this case it's getting stuck up at this point not displaying the version ......"

Please help...friends.... plzzzzzzzzzzzz...help....:mad:

By the way, the device is going to the Bootloader smoothly on pressing the volume down button while soft reset.

I tried hard reset the device by pressing the round button and the volume down button while soft reset the device and did hard reset it successfully. Still the problem remains.. plz buddy, plz help...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] seatone:
Yep, found your post...after replaying to ur PM :)

But I'll post here my answer in case that anyone else could also been interested in it:

"Sorry to hear this issue, although I haven't seen this post in the forum...

Ok. based on your story I think that this issue has nothing to do with the cooked rom you've flashed.

It seems more like an SPL problem. I'd suggest to flash the latest HSPL, the 1.93 one.

Till now none complained about such kinda issue... They bricked the phone or they didn't...But such kind of intermediate behavior :o never heard...

An other suggestion, try to flash with a branded ROM (try downloading the latest official for ur device).

Waiting for ur feedback.

Good luck!"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] karateka_sd:
at last my Diamond is working again...

Warm regards to Shaks1979 & SeatOne for ur kind and quick response... anyway, my diamond is working again......Yeterday... I had started flashing the Radio... earlier the Radio version was 1.00.25.03 (that came with my phone from the factory) which was upgraded to 1.09.25.23 as the ROM Cooker i.e. Seatone is too using this radio ( SONE v.2.1 WWE by SeatOne)

Yesterday, I flashed the Radio version 1.00.25.05 and the phone started working again.

Guys, as soon as the phone started working, I had flashed two more roms, just to understand what went wrong, & the ROMs are (v6.4FullHDTFl by christonge) and (XBMOD_V2 by xboxmod). The flashings went smoothly. At this moment my phone is on XBMOD_V2 Rom & Radio 1.00.25.05.

After seating back, I tried to understand what went wrong, why the phone was not going beyond "Touch Diamond" display point (in white font) and getting stuck up at that point before the R.... G..... etc version details appear on the screen with font colour red and background black.

The problem was with the Radio 1.09.25.23; but the mechanism of the problem went tangentially above my head, I'm in total darkness. Guys, can anyone of you genius can throw some light.

I shall wait for your inputs in the matter.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pjtripp:
I have the same problem. After rebooting ok it goes to start up and gets stuck at the touch diamond screen with info about the radio and stuff in red. It won't turn on for me to re-flash it.

So you just fully charged it and left it a while without the battery in then tried again and it worked :confused:

Any help would be great... 8-s

[General Questions and Answers] gula187:
anyone have the s2u2 lock/unlock sound thats like the iphone? i searched and couldn't find it
[Sable] axlastro:
Hi guys. I was thinking about the camera of the ipaq 614c - it sucks. But is it the camera hardware or just the software. My gues is the software. I have tried Cool camera and the barcode recognition software Barcorama. It seems they both capture images from the camera and none of the blurry and distorted "effects" are present. The only problem is that Cool Camera doesn't work properly with the ipaq and the image is always rotated 90 degrees and shrinked

so it's no use for now. My question is : Is there a newer (and probably better) version of the Arc Soft camera software. As you know, they don't sell it as a separate piece of software - they sell it to manufactures to implement it into roms. I saw there are new versions that support image stabilization, smile detection and so on. Is there any phone that has that superior software and would it work with the ipaq camera.
[Sable] dirlan2001:
Nope, it's the hardware that sucks. No matter what soft u throw at it, u won't get better images. It's the lens that's in no relation with the CMOS-chip

:D

Dirk
[Sable] axlastro:
Are you sure

Yes, technically speaking, this is what causes most of the cameras to suck.

Lens aberation and so on. BUT.

I have some experience in photography and physics and the things i see here are not due to the lens (at least not only)

If you have noticed that some of the images get distorted in a strange way (something like a photoshop filter "twirl") - that's not the lens, as it happens only from time to time on some photos. I must say that blutty and coloured images on the edges are probably because of the lens, but the other things are due to poor software. I have taken images with still hands and they sometimes come out very well. But when you move even a little - the photo is blurry as hell.

So, if someone has an idea of an alternative camera App that might work, i'm willing to help with whatever I can - say can we make Cool camera work on the ipaq, or some other camera application extracted from another phone.
[Sable] dirlan2001:
Hi,

Yes, i'm sure :) ... As u say urself, even moving a little makes the pic blurry. In fact it's almost impossible to have a 'rocksteady' hand, cos of the relative high power u need to press the button. And again ; the lens is much to close on the chip and much to sharply bent to give good images. Just take a pic and look at it. U'll see that the sides are showing almost everything on the left or right from u. Looks like HP built a combined 28-35mm lens on 4mm²...

It's even better viewable when u take panoramapics ... then u get a kind of 'ondulated' result.

The only real solution would be : removing the lens and put something more apropriate in....

:D

Dirk
