The way I see it, it's only $3.00... and buying a smart phone like the G1 I already knew I'd be spending money on apps eventually. So to me, yes its worth it...
[G1 Apps and Games] Ryanmo5:
Wow are we really complaining about a 3.00 app? I will happily pay 3.00 if i can change my icons and make my phone look the way i want it to!
[G1 Apps and Games] d00m:
I guess it's good for people who don't know how to make themes.
[G1 Apps and Games] swaney:
i got it.. now icon searching here i come :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Ryanmo5:
This app is a winner guys!!!
[G1 Apps and Games] Minker17:
Just bought it.
[G1 Apps and Games] swaney:
we should make an icon thread
[G1 Apps and Games] Ryanmo5:
Thats a great idea! I was getting ready to change a few and realized all i have are wallpapers...:( Time to go hunting
[G1 Apps and Games] timace:
???

any luck on those new icons? or icon thread(s)? i think thats a great idea...
[G1 Apps and Games] Ryanmo5:
Just asked dev of bettercut if he had icons or good sites, will let you know if he responds. Still looking myself.
[G1 Apps and Games] Sistum Id:
When you edit an icon, can you edit the selected color as well or do we need to edit that like you would with a theme? I'm annoyed by the orange selected color.

I'm thinking about getting a single icon and apply them to all my desktop icons... we'll see first tho.
[G1 Apps and Games] Kllian:
odd, i still cant find bettercut in the market. :confused:

I got paid apps showing, new view filter, but no bettercut....
[G1 Apps and Games] LGSilva:
I was trying to write an app like this to change my icons but why re-invent the wheel?

This is a nice app for customizing your phone and for $3.00 there was no doubt about buying it.

If the author is reading this forum or someone can contact him I would like to suggest some kind of theme support.

Let's say you have all your icons changed. Then you open the app and select "save theme".

The app would save some file with the icons/app associations so if you're bored with your current icons you could load a new theme without the need to change one by one.

If the app could pack a theme with the icons and the "theme" file on a zip file so we could exchange it with other people it would be awesome!
[G1 Apps and Games] santaninja:
this was the first try for me better cut works really well, i know i hate the iphone two but i do like the icons
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
Oh, very interesting app. I'd definitely pay three bucks for it, if only I could. No paid apps in my market, and since I'm neither on T-Mobile nor in any of the official G1 countries my guess is I won't see any paid apps for a long long time. Man this sucks. I wonder if I could contact the author and buy a copy straight off of him, sort of skip the market.
[G1 Apps and Games] Mr. Moe:
Need assistance with the "Make Your Own" section of this app.

Here's a screenshot..

What info goes in these fields? There's no "Help" or tutorial available either in the app or on the website...
[G1 Apps and Games] jayaustn:
Has anyone's BetterCut simply stopped working? Mine did yesterday; I emailed this to the developer last night:

I purchased the BetterCut application last night, and was very pleased with what I saw at first. I used the application to make customized icons for nearly all of the apps on my three home screens, and did not run into any problems while doing so.

However, earlier today, I attempted to customize the icon of a particular app. After following the same steps I had used for all the others, I hit "create," and nothing happened. After returning to the home screen, the app in question had simply vanished. I attempted to put the app back on the home screen, and just change the name of the shortcut, but that too removed the app from the home screen. Finally, I tried simply hitting "edit shortcut" and clicking create, without changing anything, and still, the app was removed.

After some further trial and error, I confirmed that the problem applied to all other types of BetterCut shortcuts, including phone calls, text messages, etc. Any time I attempt to create a new shortcut to anything, the app simply does nothing, and any time I attempt to edit the shortcut to any app, the app just disappears. I have tried restarting my phone several times, and the problem still persists. Basically, whatever I had gotten done before this afternoon remains an operational shortcut, but if I try to edit those shortcuts or create new ones, the BetterCut app does nothing.

Has anyone else experienced this?
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
Do the icons have to be any particular format?
[G1 Apps and Games] UnkzDomain:
Yeah, they have to be in PNG format. If you have ICOs, check out the official site for converting instructions.

http://betterandroid.wordpress.com/2009/02/21/bettercut-how-do-you-use-ico-icons/
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
Cool I already got IcoFX so this should be easy. Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
So I had anycut & it stopped working. After I changed the name of a shortcut, it wouldn't stick after I restarted my phone. I bought bettercut hoping it was fixed but it isn't! Any one else having this issue or is it just me?
[G1 Apps and Games] punkweakling:
Unsintalled and re-installed?
[G1 Apps and Games] thefoss:
App Idea/Request: Icon database for Bettercut

Bettercut gives us the ability to change our icons without rooting and installing an enitre new theme! I would love to see an app similar to the multitude of background and wallpaper apps and switchers that feature icon .pngs. How cool would it be to download and change your icons with new ones daily or weekly?! I have no skill as a developer or I'd do this myself. Anybody wanna take a crack at this?
[G1 Apps and Games] fdorr:
I want this app, but i cant see paid aplications here in south america :(, any solution????
[G1 Apps and Games] punkweakling:
A lot of us in the same boat. Go comment on their site! I did. :(
[G1 Apps and Games] schizox:
yup us non usa users just have to wait

dont know how things are going to work for us in central and south americasince there is no mention anywhere regarding paid apps support fr those regions

we would just have to wait longer i guess
[G1 Apps and Games] xcallibur:
YEP!... I tried to change the Market Icon, went back to the home screen and then it POOF! Disappeared... tried again with Chomp and a couple others and same thing... I'm hitting up the Dev of this app now with some choice words :D

EDIT:

I was going to message the Dev when I tried Bettercut one more time and realized that it creates the icon and places it on the screen that you are currently on. So if the current screen is riddled with icons already, it has no where to put the one it has just created, then for lack of a better term, it has a brain fart and scraps the original icon as well.

Scroll to a blank home screen or one with few icons and then create or edit the ones that you want. Bettercut will then populate that screen with the icon and you can move it to where ever you want to... Works fine for me now :D

*Brilliant*
[G1 Apps and Games] jayaustn:
This doesn't seem to be the problem I'm having. I did notice that an icon can't be made for a screen that you're not on, and that an icon can't be made when the current screen is full, but I am trying to edit a shortcut for an app which exists on my current home screen. I even deleted another icon to verify there was enough space, but no luck. I do have all of my screens filled -- each with twelve custom icons and four folders, so maybe 36 is the limit? Who knows.
[G1 Apps and Games] xcallibur:
I'll do some more troubleshooting on this and see...

Which icon in particular are you trying to edit?

Here's my screen
[G1 Apps and Games] Minker17:
Sorry to ask, but how do I create folders on the home screen?
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
Longpress -> Shortcut -> Folder
[G1 Apps and Games] jayaustn:
I've tried to edit several different icons, all without success. I've tried paid ones, free ones, protected ones, non-protected ones -- nothing works.

Your screen definitely does have less icons than mine; I'm currently using all three screens with 12 icons on each, along with four folders on each (not associated with BetterCut).

I think it's so odd I'm the only one having this problem.
[G1 Apps and Games] xcallibur:
Quick question? Were any of your icons or the icon you're trying to edit, first edited with anycut? What size are the .png files you are using, pixel size that is? Have you tried a wipe? (kinda drastic, but since it is obviously too late to refund the app, you might as well do what it takes to get it to work)...:confused:
[G1 Apps and Games] jayaustn:
No, the icons are all brand new. I did try to create a shortcut with AnyCut though, and then edit it, but that didn't work either. I've tried .pngs of varying sizes -- some the normal size, some slightly bigger, and that also doesn't seem to have a correlation. I'm using the same icon set that I used for my first thirty or so icons, so it doesn't seem to have anything to do with that.

The wipe would be my last option, but I just finished moving my apps and caches to the SD card, and I don't want to have to redo that. Also, I already have the majority of the icons looking nice, so my concern would be BetterCut still not working after the flash, and then being stuck with nothing.

I emailed the developer on Saturday, and still no response.
[G1 Apps and Games] missxoash:
I am having thew same problems. I have contacted the developers but to no avail.
[G1 Apps and Games] jayaustn:
Yeah, I emailed them weeks ago, and no response.

I tried just taking five or six icons off of the screen that was giving me a problem, and then adding all the icons I needed to that screen, once it was a little cleared up. That seems to have done the trick; everything is working fine now.
[G1 Apps and Games] Ryanmo5:
Well if your screens are all filled up with icons then bettercut has nowhere to put new ones. Just take a couple off then try editing them.
[G1 Apps and Games] missxoash:
From my experience, deleting one or two or even three to make room for a new one doesn't work. I'm really upset about this seeing as my refund period is over and this bug renders the program useless.
[G1 Apps and Games] Ryanmo5:
Thats weird i dont know whats happening to yours mine is working just fine.
[G1 Apps and Games] TruTechGeek:
is this app compatible with dxTop because im having alot of problems with the two working together.
[G1 Apps and Games] ccranford11:
I have a question about this app. Ive had this app for quite some time and injoyed it so. There are a few bugs that I have noticed... but nothing a simple uninstall-reinstall couldent fix.

My question is that I cant seem to edit a bookmark shortcut that i have created on the desktop and I have tryed almost everything I could think of to fix it. I can edit anything else with icons and/or names without a problem just not shortcuts to a bookmarked page. If I change anything it comes up with "Application is not installed on your phone." Is anyone else having this problem? Or know how to fix it for that matter?!

Edit: So I was playing around within the "Create New" tab and found website shortcut... donno why I dident think of that before but whateva. So I just wanted to post that I found out how to go around my problem. Though if anyone still has some insight about why you cant edit broser bookmarks I wouldent mind knowing just to know.
[G1 Apps and Games] Ryanmo5:
No i don't believe so, same with ahome from what I've heard

Bettercut icon to add calendar even?

I just downloaded bettercut hoping that there was a way to create an icon on my desktop that opens a calendar event screen so i can directly put a new event into may calendar. There has to be a way to do it with the make your own shortcut section but i dont see any information about how to use that function anywhere. Can anyone help or have any ideas?

[G1 Apps and Games] TheDudeOfLife:
It does work for me on dxtop actually. I created a contact (direct call) no problems
[G1 Apps and Games] Minker17:
I'd like to create a shortcut to connect to VPN (I'm on Cyanogen's ROM) through bettercut, but I don't know how. Since it is in the same area as wifi, it should be pretty simple.

Anyone have any ideas?
[G1 Apps and Games] speakdeathn1:
If I wanted to create an icon, that when clicked on, would instantly call the person, what information would i have to put into the fields in the "Make Your Own" section?

I know the Direct Call method will open the contact, allowing you to choose between calling and texting, but this way i can just have the 5 people on my top 5 displayed on one of the 5 screens, then click the person i want to call, and have it go straight to them.

also, if anyone has a tutorial for everything (or just about everything) that you can do with BetterCut, that would be awesome too. Or if you yourself know a bunch of input options that you can put in these fields to make certain icons do certain things (to give us an idea of how this portion of BetterCut works) that would also be awesome!

would the admins of this site possibly know?
[G1 Apps and Games] derkoke:
hi there,

is a shortcut for instantly start synchronisation existing? i don't know orders for creating such a shortcut... strictly speaking i don't know any shortcut. isn't there some kind of a list for bettercut shortcut orders existing?

thx a lot.

[G1 Apps and Games] bert269:
Hey

I am LOOKING for exactly the same shortcut. There is not an ACTION for this listed in the default bettercut options. I think the only solution we may have is to 'create your own'....But I need to know what goes into the fields and even what these values could be on the G1.

I will try and get hold of the app-dev AGAIN and maybe have more luck this time. The help/support is pathetic with this app(there is none!).

They took our money and ran, I guess!

let me know if you find a way in the mean time and I'll do the same!;)
[G1 Apps and Games] derkoke:
hi bert,

i'm still searching the whole web but cannot find any shortcut codes nor getting hints/answers in posted threads. i cannot imagine that nobody really is interested in these...
[G1 Apps and Games] cloverdale:
The problem with a guide to the make your own function is that is is essentially the developers guide for android. It really requires knowledge on android to make these. It took me awhile when I wanted to have a pdf file linked to my homescreen. I can give the input needed for this

[G1 Apps and Games] derkoke:

[G1 Apps and Games] derkoke:

I am not sure if you have seen this, but this is the info for devs, that can be used to program Bettercut.

i know x1 cpu is running at 528Mzh , it is not too slow, but not fast enough.

the device will be hotter if OC ,but x1 is a little bit hot while its running.

So, is it possible to make it OC ?
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
gobojane, you have noticed that it is hot and my advise is to not push it more.. the device is small, giving a high build up of heat.. OC may fry your components..

x1 is sluggish due largely to the unpolished firmware... imho ..

Hi,

The post you referenced is from Dec 9th.

The auto rotate is already included in jf 1.41 and newer.

Also adb is run from your computer not the terminal emulator.

You will have to have g1 usb drivers installed 1st.

You can download all the files needed here:

Ok, I have searched the forums as best I know how and cant find an answer so thought I would post here. I was wondering if the 6800 has a port for an external antennae? I generally have pretty good cell reception everywhere but ya you guessed it at home. Lucky to have 2 bars and usually drop 4 to 6 calls per week, needless to say very frustrating. I tried 3 different xv6800 phones in the first month of my contract with verizon and all 3 did the same thing. They tried to push an i760 on me but just couldnt bring myself to change. I've noticed the rubber plug on the back of the phone and actually pulled it off today, it is some kind of connector just dont have a clue what for. Any help would be appreciated. Oh I flashed the rom to 6.1 today then added the Valhalla legends GPS and get 8 sats in no time at all. Dont know if that means anything but thought would throw out there just in case.

I'd say a pledge isn't going to do squat (check's in the mail) :/

Now if you were to have people donate $$ to a dedicated per app paypal account I think you've got something.

Another problem you might have is you need a dev with mad knowledge of android and the hardware of the G1 to tell if said app can even become a reality.
