[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] KennyC92:
Hey xda-developer users. I'm am indeed new to this site and I was wondering if anyone can please guide me through a step by step to upgrade my T-Mobile Wing to the best of its ability. I've seen the videos; but still as simple as they look, I still have trouble getting through it all.

I really just need help in getting actually playing youtube videos, Windows 6.1 [or if there is anything better at the moment], and honestly anything that new [like battery status, nice home page, etc] and that could be helpful and for me to use as an advantage to my phone.

Please someone guide me through and shed some light to my question.

I Truly appreciate it! :)

Hey all,

When your browsing the net or checking an email.. and u spin your thumb in a cirlce motion in the bottom middle part of the touch pro it zooms in and out.. i am wondering is there a way i can change the setting of this to scroll up and down?

I think it would be much more useful that way...

So I was wondering if anyone was planning to do a that's what she said app like the one on the iphone
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MDtouchDiamond:
sorry I did not see a post about this, but I am sure some of you have experienced this. As a lot of you know shapewriter is a great and fast way to text, and you can download the app, and hit cancel, and still use it. but after 30 days I believe, it wont let you use it at all. has anyone figured out a way to keep using it? (not asking for codes or anything) I tried to uninstall, and re download but same thing
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] arjit_b:
Well one way is to install a new rom....or for that matter the same rom again...btw is it just me or even u are experiencing some bugs with shapewriter..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] FuzzFuzz:
Could it possible be that you need to buy an activation code for this program?

I did see a button "buy", which might get the trial version off.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] the-equinoxe:
getting rid of a trial, extending a trial, asking for serials, asking for cracks, it's all the same..

It's making warez from a paid app.

Respect the Author, if you like to use the application, pay for it!
[Touch HD General] AmokPL:
Since a couple of days I started to hear some noises in the speaker when calling or receiving a call. It's something like hearing the other person outdoor with the wind blowing, and its getting worse when I am moving.

Any idead what to do before sending Blackstone to the provider? I tried to change rates/bands from 3G/GSM because I played with it before and also reflashed the rom with 1.7 DUtty's - no effect. I think I am gonna reflash the radio - not sure if that would help.

PS I've also checked the speaker in search of hair, dust, debris - it's clear but doesnt sound like. Funny thing - the voice in the headset are perfect also the music is alright so I am getting the feeling that it could be software issue.

Please kindly advise
[Touch HD General] AmokPL:
another strange issue - I did a hard reset and the noise is gone (using the 3g) however when lying down on bed talking through it in the horizontal position I can hear that noise again (although not so loud and often as before which is fine)

could it be the g-sensor issue?:eek:
[Touch HD General] nikolsko:
Had The exact same problem with my first 2 touch hd`s. I got both replaced on warranty. The first one worked at first but got gradually worse. The second one came like that. I am now on my third and no problems so far.

Tried everything to fix the first 2. New radios, hard reset. Nothing seems to fix it.
[Touch HD General] AmokPL:
why there's no interference when on loudspeaker or playing music? seems that the speaker is fine.

checked the sim in other phone - fine. WTF? I'll try to reflash the radio tomorrow if not sending it back to be replaced.

How to obtain orange fault code which is needed by my phone provider? call the cs?

[G1 Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
Thanks doooshty,

You beat me here :)

I plan on releasing dxTop : The Android Home Alternative this weekend for $3.99 and I'm hoping to get support from developers to write widgets for it. I posted a how-to and a sample desktop widget that graphs memory usage. These is also a demo version available on the site to try it out and use to develop widgets.

Also, I want to make sure I can sell it. I've read the Apache 2.0 license and it looks like all I need to do is provide a link to the license. Is this correct?

If you have any comments, please let me know what your think!

Cheers,

John
[G1 Apps and Games] dom2684:
i think i love you
[G1 Apps and Games] doooshty:
Demo = Love

I will gladly give you my $4.00...you can even keep the change.

THis is the kind of thing I was expecting to see from android...you sir have delivered.
[G1 Apps and Games] qtronix:
I just down loaded this it force close after I set it to default. Then my phone wouldn't

Reboot I had to do a wipe.

[G1 Apps and Games] zoetrope:
I've been running the demo now for a couple of hours and I'm convinced this the best app yet for the G1, paid or free. MasterBaron, you sir are a very talented developer and I'll be eagerly awaiting the paid version in the market this weekend. I will also post my 5 star review of dxTop on as many Android forums as I can find. Keep doing what your doing. and thank you so much for extending and greatly improving Android. You have my $4, and I hope you get rich from this app.
[G1 Apps and Games] RandumAccess:
I installed it but the "launch" link after installed was greyed out and i couldnt find it in the app list but i could uninstall it from the manage applications settings... what am i doing wrong?
[G1 Apps and Games] doooshty:
It was greyed out for me as well...I hit the home button and it asks what I want to use and I select dxTop
[G1 Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
Yes, press the home button and it will ask which interface you want to use. DO NOT click "Use by default for this action" until I come up with a recovery mode in case dxTop crashes.
[G1 Apps and Games] RandumAccess:
cool got it, this is awesome! but hows the battery with it? any change that you noticed? and how will we add stuff to the second tab?

I cant wait for full version! will definitely pay!
[G1 Apps and Games] dom2684:
is it me or does it overwite the clock that u have on the theme?
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
Did anyone elses wallpaper cropping get messed up? I wasn't able to choose the whole image to crop. I tried with a few standard size wallpapers & 800x600 wallpapers but it never let me choose the whole image.
[G1 Apps and Games] qtronix:
I tryed again without selecting default and I still had to wipe as I couldn't get off the force close box. After a reboot it it started force closeing again and left the phone unusable.

Qtronix
[G1 Apps and Games] Ryanmo5:
Yeah it did on mine as well. Great first step much love for the app. I liked it but will wait to see how it comes along before buying. Its simply too young right now but with all the potential it shows will definately buy in the future as it progresses. Great work!
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
maybe it should be in beta for a bit longer until all the bugs are worked out- beta testers galore..... so idiots on the market don't start voting it down.....
[G1 Apps and Games] start_developing:
To be honest the only thing that I really would like to have are the widgets and they will be available on the standard Android with 1.5.
[G1 Apps and Games] fdorr:
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the best app in the market, very very good, i love you, please im from south america and i have no access to paid apps, put a webpage to buy the app, thanks!!
[G1 Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
Should be no change to battery life.

his tab is your recent/running apps tab, they appear automatically when you run apps.

You have to be quick, press the force close, then the home key as fast as you can. I'll work on a recovery option.
[G1 Apps and Games] Karolis:
I understand you wanting to earn some money from this app, and I would glady pay for it, except that I'm in the UK and we still do not see paid apps.

Did you think if how you could deliver the app to non-US residents?
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
Wow, this looks extremely promising, very nice indeed!

Please please please make this paid app available outside of the market, somehow, because a lot of us are in countries where paid app support is nowhere to be seen. I figure the UK etc will get in on the paid app action soon enough, but for the rest of us, in countries where the G1 isn't even considered by the operators yet, I fear the wait will be long. Too long.
[G1 Apps and Games] Meltus:
absolutly fantastic!!!

i would buy but, oops, i live in the UK. ><

like everyone's said, make this avaliable via a website/ebay or whatever and you'd probably make twice as much money. i know i'm definatly gonna buy. :D
[G1 Apps and Games] knoxbrder:
Very cool. Did you figure out how the existing widgets are done or is this a custom approach? I guess the question is really: will widgets made for your app work when google officially supports more widgets? (small tweaks may always be necessary when things rev, but is the general idea/framework the same?)
[G1 Apps and Games] friedgoldmole:
I thought the reason widgets haven't been deployed yet is that they reside within the launcher which has permissions which could potentially be misused. Is there anything in this implementation to prevent widget developers causing mischief?
[G1 Apps and Games] JonFolse:
this thing is gr8!!!!
[G1 Apps and Games] nolageek:
I can't seem to figure out the desktop placement. Say if I'm looking at the old center panel and scroll up (or left) then scroll back down (or right) it's another desktop. I'm CONSTANTLY flipping around the four destops trying to find things since they seem to keep moving around on me. It's like that terrible movie "The Cube" :)

Am I missing out on some obvious piece of navigation or is it wonky for everyone else?
[G1 Apps and Games] Meltus:
ok bare with me, this is kinda hard to explain.

it's not a set layout.

from any screen if you swipe up you'll get the bottom screen. even the left and right ones. say if you want the left screen and you're on the right screen you don't have to go past the centre one. just one swipe and you're there.

they're not "attached" like on the normal G1 home screen, just one swipe in whatever direction and it jumps to it.

hope you understand my terrible explanation lol. :D

edit:

whilst im posting this, heres some bugs i've found so far.

if you are in an application and hit back quickly to get back to the desktop it can sometimes confuse it, either crashing/closing it or making the countdown timer to loop indefinatly. the only way to fix this is to open the keyboard and shut it again.

also happens if your phone is locked or asleep and has been for a while and you press menu twice quickly to unlock it.

apart from that it's a fantastic app :D
[G1 Apps and Games] d0nkey:
how do you download the demo? says the content is not supported on the phone. and yes, i have unknown sources turned on
[G1 Apps and Games] dom2684:
you need to have an apk installer on ur phone and install it from there
[G1 Apps and Games] nolageek:
Ok. I see now. MAN that makes sense and it's brilliant, but very different than what I was expecting. Basically, there's no middle... left and right are always the same no matter where you are... up and down are always the same.. but, it's not a grid.

It's so very zen.
[G1 Apps and Games] d0nkey:
neg. its not even allowing the download to my phone.
[G1 Apps and Games] dom2684:
download it from the pc then move it to ur sdcard
[G1 Apps and Games] d0nkey:
well that is difficult to do from work. hopefully i wont forget about it when i get home then.

speaking of this, and maybe i should start a new thread, but is there a way to hack the phone to allow any file extensions?
[G1 Apps and Games] dom2684:
idk....

i think steel allows you to dl other types of files
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
Download Crutch Lite. You'll find it in the market.
[G1 Apps and Games] Karolis:
Download Linda or ASTRO file manager and you'll e able to download any file extensions you want.
[G1 Apps and Games] speoples20:
Great so far liking what I see. Not to sure if I like the two tabs set up, looks kinda weird. Also is there gonna be theme support? Would be nice for people with non rooted phones to be able to use themes. Shouldn't to hard since its a shell and doesn't need root.
[G1 Apps and Games] Ron Overdrive:
I just installed it with adb. :confused:
[G1 Apps and Games] Karolis:
Not quite sure if this is a bug or done on purpose, but if I am using say Browser, then I go to home screen and put the phone to sleep, once I turn it on again, it is showing me Browser rather than home screen.

Then of course I have to click home, wait, etc. So I though maybe that is done on purpose?
[G1 Apps and Games] jleake:
pretty darn cool. will pay for this, hoping for theme support.
[G1 Apps and Games] rickymello:
love the demo and i too hope for theme support and option for one or two tabs.
[G1 Apps and Games] Meltus:
it already has theme support.

just open the APK, open the res folder and edit away! of course all the XML files are encrypted (damn! :D)
[G1 Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
Thanks to everyone for there comments!

We will have to see, I still have much to do.

This is what the demo does to make it "annoying"
[G1 Apps and Games] dom2684:
its spelled Their

lol but honestly im in love with this app

cannot wait till the final is released:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[G1 Apps and Games] Smokuevo:
can someone release a video of this? thanks !
[G1 Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
OK, I have added some code that allows user access to the default Home if for some reason dxTop crashes and fails to launch. If dxTop crashes, then next run will popup options to try again, or run the old launcher.
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
do we still have to not make it the default home when it asks? Anything else to be aware of when installing the new demo?
[G1 Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
Feel free to check the default checkbox. The recovery option I added should be solid (Famous last words)
[G1 Apps and Games] Rafase282:
I really like this app. But where are the new widgets?
[G1 Apps and Games] Phromik:
Yes, but I'm sure it's frowned upon (possibly illegal) to decompile the app, since you have to pay for it (the full version). Then you'd have to recompile the apk, and share it out, but therein lies the problem. Then ANYONE could download your themed dxTop and get the full version for free. Until Google somehow links your gmail with paid apps for authorization that you paid for it, that's stealing. Who knows if Google would even do that.

tl;dr Themeing is possible with it, yes. But then your themed dxTop is open for piracy.

I know we may be "hackers" (or whatever you want to call us) but piracy in the Android community is something I'd like to avoid. (though probably inevitable)

On an unrelated note: Bugs I've found:

1. When you long press something on dxTop to delete it, the middle trash tab slices the other two in half before it pops up/as it pops down. This happens in themes for Home, too, but I'm sure the transition could be fixed. ;)

2. No matter what side of the screen your cursor is on, it selects the right/top tab. And you can't navigate to the other one with the trackball, it jumps to the left screen, or doesn't respond at all. Which kind of ties into my next bug:

3. You can't navigate right in landscape, and down in portrait modes. The cursor won't pass the menu tabs.

EDIT: 4. The right tray (processes tab) jumps your cursor back to highlighting the right tray after about a second, whether you're moving it or not. (the trackball cursor, just in case you don't know what I mean)

Will update if I find more.

Also, I'd like the Home button to bring you to the top/center screen when you press it, like the default Home would. Just an easier way to navigate to that screen in some cases. ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
I changed the wallpaper size selection to be more of a square. This is because there is no "middle" screen that lets yo see the center of you desktop. Having a square (1x1) ratio instead of 4x3 ratio helps fix this issue.

If things go badly over the weekend, I may hold off.

Widgets made for dxTop should be easy to convert when the time comes because dxTop doesn't require hardly any special coding.

I believe dxTop has this problem, but I haven't tried testing it yet. The widget's context and not dxTop's context is used to inflate the widget so maybe the permissions are still intact.

I haven't had time to write any myself, I was hoping some other developers would try it out and post there work.

Thank you! This is great feedback!

1. I've noticed the animation, but haven't gotten around to looking into it.

2&3. I don't use the trackball much so I missed this. However, now that I try it, I don't seem to have any problems moving the cursor around other than you can't select the All Apps Tab. Maybe I'm not understating the issue? Can you explain more?

Thanks everyone!
[G1 Apps and Games] UnkzDomain:
All you need to do to enable theming support is make it get the images it uses for the sliders (maybe even different ones for each slider!) and other resources from a folder on the SD card.

That way you don't have people redistributing "themed" versions of this and they can just distribute zip files that can be extracted to the SD card.
[G1 Apps and Games] Phromik:
I use the trackball for a lot of navigation in portrait mode, cuz it's easier to move your thumb in a small circle, then all over the screen sometimes.

Anyways, if you have your phone in portrait mode, and have your cursor on the bottom left, and move down, it selects the right tab. The left two grid spaces should move the cursor to the left tab when you press down, and the right two should move to the right tab. Same type of issue in landscape, just up/down instead of left/right. And as you said, you can't select the all apps tab.

EDIT: Apparently dxTop assigns one of the tabs as the default, and only allows cursor selection of that one, since my roles just reversed when I rebooted the app. Now I can only select my all app tab, and not my app processes tab.

Also, if you select the tab, and try to move down, it won't move to the lower screen. There is also some sketchy movements when you try to move left/right when one of the tabs is selected. Sometimes it won't move to the left screen, sometimes it will. Etc.

Another bug: The right tray (processes tab) jumps your cursor back to highlighting the right tray after about a second. Whether the trackball cursor is moving or not.

That would actually work well. Themeing dxTop would be easy then too. And the two tabs do use different images, separately. So you could theme one to be blue, and one to be red, for example. :P
[G1 Apps and Games] Binary100100:
In my opinion I think it would be better (and easier to use) instead of adding the 2 on top and 2 on bottom configuration is to have the original 3 and then another 3 on the bottom of that. That way we can have the same homescreen that we are used to AND have the addition of the other screens to flip through. Maybe with a little work we could have something like SphereXP (which didn't do so well for some reason).
[G1 Apps and Games] RandumAccess:
Skinning wont be hard, but i dont want to violate or cross any lines by sharing or pirating a paid app...

to the developer... i am sorry if I crossed any lines by doing this? please let me know and i will take it down and never do it again... I really dont want to cause trouble i just like to mod things...lol :D
[G1 Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
I think it's ok to skin the app for personal use, you just can't give it out.
[G1 Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
Thanks, I'm working on this now.
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
let us know when it is updated- i will check it out.

is there any way to get bettercut to work with this?
[G1 Apps and Games] Gimpeh:
Do you plan on implementing a another home screen while sliding up? Howabout changing the feature of always having to slide up after moving to any other home screen? That feature added and the second fixed and I'll worship you!
[G1 Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
AnyCut is working, not sure why BetterCut wouldn't. Is it not putting a shortcut on any of the screens? It's not free anymore, so I can't try it.

I'm not sure what your asking for? Can you try to explain your request some more?
[G1 Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
OK, I just uploaded a new version that should fix the focus problems on the tabs. Let me know if that fixes your other issues as I was unable to reproduce the problem where it would switch to the wrong screen.

Thanks for the help testing,

John
[G1 Apps and Games] Phromik:
Tab focus problems fixed. Process tab still cicks you back to tab focus after one second, not that it's a big deal.

Bugs: When using the trackball: Can't move to the bottom screen (down) at all in portrait mode. Can't move to the right screen at all when in landscape. Can't move right in portrait if you're highlighting the bottom-right tab. Can't move down in landscape if you're highlighting the bottom tab. If you highlight the bottom tab in landscape, and move up (to highlight the process tab) it skips it and moves to the top screen.

Yeah, I know, a lot of trackball selection bugs. But you do want people who use the trackball for navigation to buy/use you app, don't you? ;p

Will update if I find more.

EDIT: Found another: If you open the left tab, and highlight it (so it would close if you clicked) and move right, you'll notice that nothing is highlighted. If you then click the trackball, it crashes the app tabs. No force close, but the tabs are invisible, and you can't navigate at all. The same goes vice versa. (open the right tab, highlight, move left, click, crash)
[G1 Apps and Games] AsaSpades:
Wow, great app, im deff buyin it
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
bettercut puts icon on 1 of the orignal screens. workaround is you can easily tap and hold on shortcut and drag down to next to bin but will then open up new screen and you position the shortcut anywhere on this screen.

i will definitely buy this when out- had to turn off autorotate- too annoying with delay.

tips: maybe have a default screen it goes to when pressing home? is this possible?
[G1 Apps and Games] Gimpeh:
There is a home window to your left, right and down beneath the main screen. What about implementing another home screen above? Also, every time you slide to the left and right home screens you have to slide it up to always get back to the main screen. Can this be an option instead of it always doing this? Thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
so you mean like a cross? I think this would be great too if you do- so you have one main home screen, the usual one to the left and one to the right and then the two new screens, one above and one below..... ?Possible?

i

-0-

i

****actually after playing with it i can see why you made it like this- i really like the layout..... maybe just a default screen would be great... oh and a way for us non-Tmob, non-USA, ADP users buy this!! :D

***edit2*** maybe we could donate to you and get the full version that way by you emailing it to us?
