Looks like it moves the dxTop launcher to the SD card?

McGill- But shouldnt it alteady be on the SD card? Or am I reading that command wrong? Is this in Term Emulator?

Preesh the help guys
[G1 Apps and Games] T-McGill:
First, let me say I'm no expert. What little I known about Android and linux, I learned by reading posts on this site. After I kept getting errors, I looked around in /system/sd. I noticed that after I uninstalled dxtop, com.android.dxtop.launcher remained in /system/sd/data. I kept re-installing dxtop and I kept getting the same errors. So I figure, what do I have to loose. So, I uninstalled dxtop and did:

#rm -r /system/sd/data/com.android.dxtop.launcher

I reinstalled dxtop and it worked great. I stopped getting the errors.

This also fixes force closed errors when moving apps to sd after a wipe. Remove the apps reference from /system/sd/data.
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
it removes the data from the app from the sd card back to the device.... i think it moves it back.... if you don't have all data moved then it shouldn't be an issue...
[G1 Apps and Games] xShadoWxDrifTx:
I think MontAlbert means it just removes the data from the sdcard app folder that used to be the dxtop folder

And reinstalling it will be starting dxtop with a fresh new start, because the files will now go back to the sd card

[Just hopefully trying to clear things up]
[G1 Apps and Games] ei8htohms:
performed a Nandroid restore to a pre-update version

Love the app and I'm sure TMB will fix it, but got fed up with the lag and the force closes.
[G1 Apps and Games] nolageek:
I have these errors as well. I don't run many themes so I dont have the other issues. My biggest complaint with dxTop is the random unbelievable lag I get from returning from programs, especially the browser and messaging. It's sometimes 8 or 9 seconds of just sitting there with the wallpaper and two tabs by themselves, mocking me.

I moved the browser cache to the sdcard, but it only helped for a day or two.. now the lag is back.

Yeah, it seemed to start with the themes update.
[G1 Apps and Games] gPhunk:
Ya it has seemed to get worse as the days go by. I have reached my limit so have gone back to the OEM desktop. Master Barron was pretty good about updates & responding to emails but must be on vacation. (The NERVE right?! ;) ) Hopefully we get an update sooner than later as my brain has already been programmed and I find myself swiping down and up to no avail in the stock desktop...
[G1 Apps and Games] wydog:
I know this was a joke but I for one believe it does take quite a bit of nerve to make over $4,000 (1000-5000 downloads at $3.99) and then refuse to answer emails or put an update for current problems.

I'm starting to feel short changed. I took awhile before paying for a home alternative and decided on dxtop as it is the only one that improves on the original. Now when you search dxtop you get 10 widgets and themes, when you search open home you get 22 and 47 for ahome.

He may be a lone person and not a team and he may have a full time job, school or need time off. Thats fine but he' made enough money to hire an assistant. Not only am I feeling like this but the further behind he gets in things like widgets, themes, and good updates the less likely this will be a viable home alternative in the future.
[G1 Apps and Games] ei8htohms:
BTW, he really is on vacation

Check the dxTop Wikidot forum. Fingers crossed that he'll get the app back to its former brilliance soon.
[G1 Apps and Games] Henchman:
$4k enough to hire an assistant?

Are you in gradeschool?

$4k is sweet F'in all.

That's 2 weeks wages at best.

Get a grip.
[G1 Apps and Games] wydog:
So you really think someone should be paid $2k($104,000 a year) week to help build themes? Maybe he could pay someone $20/hr to for 20hrs a week to help and answer emails. Or maybe he could just acknowledge that he released a program that is having a harmful effect on peoples phone and postpone a trip to somewhere with no internet.

He's not just some guy trying to better android. He's making money and is therefore a business. Sorry if I expect some business ethics, even walmart answers emails.

But maybe that $4k-$10k is burning a hole in his pocket.
[G1 Apps and Games] Henchman:
Or maybe you could grow the F up, and stop pretending that the world is coming to an end, because an app has issues, and the guy who wrote it, and is selling if for a paltry $4 is on Vacation.

And, if it's that important to you, learn how to make your own themes. You obviously have more than enough time on your hands.

I'd be more concerned about the crappy OS that's been dumped on the G1 buy programmers who are getting paid more than $110k a year, and who did a half-baked job in the first place.

But no. Let's jump all over a guy who made a couple of bucks off an app he wrote in hios spare time.
[G1 Apps and Games] wydog:
Once again you just don't get it.

If this was a free app then I'd totally agree but this isn't just some guy who wrote an app in his spare time. This is a software developer making money off customers. When you take someones money you have an obligation to you patrons to produce a quality product.

Maybe when he gets back he'll release a fix and 19 new themes. That still doesn't excuse leaving paying customers out of the loop for a week.

I'm sure he's a good guy and I have a lot of hope in his app but he has a lot to learn about customer service.
[G1 Apps and Games] Henchman:
The guy is on VACATION.

For crying out loud.

And he has NO obligation to supply themes.

Period.
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
Next time you make an app, YOU BETTER NEVER TAKE A VACATION!!! So now that thats said, good luck on that app. Maybe you can make wyTop... Till then, please don't post again till you have something worth reading
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
he has gone away for a holiday for all of 4days!! i personally have no problems with dxtop- runs great. no slowing down or anything. is your wallpaper a big png image?

As for themes i just installed a theme from here and it works over the top.
[G1 Apps and Games] FlawedLogic:
I've downloaded every theme in the competition with no issues with dx top

Ok it force closes on startup but it pops right back up, I don't consider that an issue as it only happens when a new comp theme was applied and not for every one.

I even switched to adp 1.1 and had no issues.

The guy released 3 updates Monday so he could get non rooted people themes and auto rotate before he went on vacation. I'd say he's taking care of his customers .

Yeah some people are having issues, but I'm willing to bet the majority of people aren't, he released his updates and fixed all the major bugs I'd say he earned himself a vacation.

It's not like you can't switch to the default home or to another home alternative until he gets back anyway.
[G1 Apps and Games] Gimpeh:
I hope he begins to add new features soon. His competition is picking up.
[G1 Apps and Games] forceshield:
You are ridiculous. Do you use windows? I've been suffering through vista's bugs, still and Microsoft hasn't fixed it overnight. I'm going to go raise hell on a windows developer forums now! You don't get it, you bought his app, you don't own him. If you don't like it, call your credit card company and get a charge back done. No where in your terms of buying it did he say he would fix it immediately if anything went wrong, he has no obligation to do anything after he released it. Now go download the other free home and swipe 43 times to get to your last screen.
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
Yeah dxtop is my favourite by far- people just want more and more. I hope he makes a decent amount of money off it as so far he has been coming out with updates nearly daily (except for his holiday or a whole 4 days!).... and always new features.... does it need more? I am happy with it as it is- maybe just a bit faster and more stable but it is fine as it is i reckon. He should make a few widgets himself though to help it along- a decent weather widget would make the app go gangbusters i reckon!
[G1 Apps and Games] khoaitaychienvn:
erhhh, so now I know customers fight each other because of the developers. Rare case!!!

Okie, dxTop is the one I bought after I tried all of these 3 Home Screen Alternatives: Open Home, aHome and dxTop. I dont know why aHome is laggy. I dont know why OpenHome makes my phone shut when someone calls, not everytime but most of the time (it's a deadly fault) and dxTop is running great, smooth and reliable.

I've experienced bugs that u guys have but I can live with that. Themes havnt never been an issue for me. Deep Black is my fav one anyway.
[G1 Apps and Games] juangil:
I would like the same here, thx
[G1 Apps and Games] nolageek:
Wouldn't the "use root themes" option in dxTop do just this?
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
certainly does
[G1 Apps and Games] shaneaus:
I guess no one has read the letters sent to the theme developers advising them that using widgets for their Home Screen is NOT advisable due to security loopholes.

They have been advised that Android did not release any more widgets because of those issues and state that Home Screen users/devs will be using widgets at their own risk. They further stated that they will advise the home screen devs when they get these issues fixed.
[G1 Apps and Games] dmm0816:
can you use the themes on this site with dxtop even if your phone isn't rooted or do you still have to have a rooted phone and dxtop?
[G1 Apps and Games] cal3thousand:
dev themes need ROOT

dxtop themes need DXTOP
[G1 Apps and Games] mmafighter077:
You know what I really want from DXTOP... I want 1 tab to only have apps and the other tab to only have games. I dont really care for my most recent apps.

I also wish there was a way to hide themes, icon packs and widgets from my apps list. My app list is getting pretty messy with all my themes and icon packs and I really dont need to acces those from my apps list either. Just causes more clutter.

Oh yeah and the cupcake soft keyboard would be nice. I still love this app tho.
[G1 Apps and Games] xShadoWxDrifTx:
Master Baron is back and sent out an update fixing the stability issue

This is still my favorite app, because of its screen swipes and theme integration
[G1 Apps and Games] Ron Overdrive:
I like dxTop, but personally I'd like to one thing that would make it more intuitive to use. Do away with the second tab and replace the original tab with a quick launch bar like in OpenHome for the most commonly used apps. Pull up on the quick launch to open the window with all the apps. It would look a lot cleaner and improve functionality.
[G1 Apps and Games] cooldude86:
aHome gets HOT !!

Hey guys. chk out the new aHome theme... !!

& u will love ittttttttt

my iphone frnds r really man !!
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
After installing this new version i no longer have droidsans autorotate working for any programs. My accelerometer is still working as it still rotates in browser, bubble, chompsms, and dxtop. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this? I even uninstalled this version and then uninstalled droidsans, rebooted and installed droidsans by itself and not working..... somehow applying new theme stopped autorotate? new version stopped autorotate?

I did also install an update of the theme i am working on... could that have done it?

***edit*** BTW: i am sick to death of bloody ahome themes clogging up the bloody market!! do they really need that many themes and if they do, do they really need to put them ALL on the market?
[G1 Apps and Games] cooldude86:
hey.. itz working fine with my G1 !!

may be you must have make this theme as Default home..

jst chk it out..

theme rockz on my G1 !!

if you still have problem.. you can contact aHome support bcoz.. this is their own creation..
[G1 Apps and Games] james44:

[G1 Apps and Games] Henchman:
Wow, that's really ghey.
[G1 Apps and Games] t1h5ta3:
Lol...yha... I guesss itld be ok for a school kid, might be a supliment fot there national geographics and sears catalogs... lol
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
dxtop now has a dock for 5 apps at the bottom- swipe the tabs out of the way to access them. Personally i leave the dock there and swipe the tabs back over the top when i want them. Another nice addition to this app- sure to make it more popular.
[G1 Apps and Games] All~G1:
Im loving the dock... I never have to lift the tabs. I leave it defaulted to the dock and It has help me keep my desktops clean. Good job Baron.
[G1 Apps and Games] t1h5ta3:
sweet update!
[G1 Apps and Games] jayaustn:
Has anyone had success running dxTop with the Magic port? My dxTop force closes instantly every time.
[G1 Apps and Games] Gimpeh:
No such luck. I'm about to revert back to RC33 since I miss my DXtop aero theme so much.
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
love yet another update. dock works great and now folders are supported it is great!

I have made my own custom theme- for Geelong Football club- can someone please try it out and check if there is anything i can do to improve it. Works great on mine- ihave it combined with a root theme i made for Geelong as well. If anyone wants to try that i can provide it as well.

thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
I think the best update is the fact that you can now rename your shortcuts right on the homescreen they're on without having to go into bettercut or anycut! Awesome upgrades man! The only thing I could ask for is maybe make it compatible with the font packs that better android are releasing?
[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
Looks like cupcake compatibility is close at hand!

DreamManagerDreamManager 4 Apr 2009, 22:15 -0-700

I have dxTop running on cupcake, but needs some testing on non-cupcake before I will release it."
[G1 Apps and Games] Gimpeh:
In the latest update it is stated that icon packs from better android are now supported. What good is the icon packs without the themes to go with it. Has anyone tried any of the better android themes on dxtop yet?
[G1 Apps and Games] TheDudeOfLife:
I'm running dxtop on the latest 4.5 haykuro build.

So happy right now.

Booo, no 4.5 widgets show up....hopefully that'll change soon.
[G1 Apps and Games] gPhunk:
Anyone experiencing Memory issues with last 2 DxTop Updates?

Let me preface this with I am have a rooted G1, running JF's RC33 ROM, and am running apps off the SD Card (8gb Class 6)

I downloaded Version 1.3.10 of DxTop over the weekend and it all went to hell. My phone would not allow me to access programs such as camera, music, wallpapers, or download apps from the Market. I could view the Market, uninstall, but could not download anything. Basically anything that pulled info from the SD card was hosed. I initially thought my SD card bit the dust, but curiously I could view the files ON my SD card via ASTRO (but could not open any of them.) I noticed that there was new Dxtop version (1.3.11) that "fixed CPU bug" available in the market, but because of my SD issue I could not download it. So I uninstalled dxtop and was STILL receiving the SD issue. I tried flashing to a previous backup but could not do so. So I ultimately wiped my phone and just reflashed JF's RC33 ROM. I have downloaded 1.3.11 and haven't had the SD card errors anymore but now am getting a lot of "Low Memory" errors from DxTop. It doesn't force close, it just flashes a quick message that says something like "DxTop is suffering from a low memory... blah blah blah" and then will switch to the Dxtop - but my icons disappear. The Memory Monitor widget I have starts to flash at about a 1sec interval. Though the icons have disappeared if I hover over one and click it, it will launch the program. According to the System Monitor App, I am utilizing 66.7% of the system memory when all of this is occurring. I have power cycled and it seems to fix the issue this time (thankfully didn't have to wipe again) but am worried it will happen again.

Hopefully I am not the only one out there with something similar. The DxTop update is the only app I have downloaded recently so it has got to be something with it unless it's just a crazy coincidence that my phone's memory has decided to expire. Anyone experience anything similar or have any suggestions?
[G1 Apps and Games] nolageek:
I'm running the 5.0G Magic port and I can't run dxTop any more. It doesn'nt force close tha tmuch, but it freezes CONSTANTLY and it gets stuck in landscape mode almost every time I exit a landscaped app... it's really just driving me bonkers. I hope he fixes that soon, cause I really miss it. (Also, Id like to see live folders.<g>)
[G1 Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
Can you try disabling persistent mode to see if it helps.
[G1 Apps and Games] nolageek:
Hey Baron.. no, still weirdness. I turned off percistant mode and when I get back to the desktop it froze halfway between moving to the right home page.. and then it caught up and I'm missing the icon for twidroid. (see attached) Plus, it's just going REALLY slow to go from page to page.. lag is really bad. This started when I went to G.01G Apps-2-SD
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
did you move data as well? dxtop works fine on my 5.0G a2sd. Occasional hang for low memory and when it stops rotating i just open bubble and it fixes it- not sure if the stop rotating thing is dxtop or the 5.0G though as others have had this issue and i dont think they were running dxtop.

I am hoping that the bugs present with dxtop in the magic build will be fixed now that 1.5 SDK has been released. Hopefully all developers will fix their apps so they work.
[G1 Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
1.4.0 is out. Please give it a try! Oh, and Live Folders
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
where are the live folders? can't seen to get them 2 work- or find them actually!
[G1 Apps and Games] cal3thousand:
Went to check change history for 1.4.3 and saw that dxtop.wikidot.com is down?
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
can anyone tell me how to get music widget for dxtop?

someone posted on dxtop website and they had what appeared to be the stock cupcake widget running on dxtop:

http://dxtop.wikidot.com/forum/t-150007/the-music-widget-looks-ugly-when-not-moved

hopefully its a free solution as i dont have access to paid apps in australia.....

***edit*** the developer made them- on market for free!!!
[G1 Apps and Games] jj71787:
I cant get the weather or the music widget to appear is it because i have the demo version of dx top
[G1 Apps and Games] ShoppingA1:
For those that purchased via this link; how can we expect to recieve updates? I lack patience and if theres anyway I can get it prior I will but this will make it difficult to get updates via the market.

Update via market may not work if you buy it early with this link, but since TBM can see who purchased it, he can send them the new versions as they come out. Maybe even betas for this app (and possibly other apps...? <_< lol) But you get my point.
[G1 Apps and Games] Algernon:
I just grabbed Jeff Sharkey's Forecast Widget from his blog (http://www.jsharkey.org/blog/2009/04/24/forecast-widget-for-android-15-with-source/) and its not showing up as an available widget in DxTop. Is there any way to make this widget recognized?
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
if you see an update via atrackdog just go to the original link you got when you purchased the app. this link always points to the most recent version.

not a dxtop widget. you need masterbarons dxtop weather widget in the market
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
This thing is constantly force closing on me with Haykuro's G build... Anyone else?
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
i am using on H build and it is great- was going to flash back to G tonight and check it out now that G has market....

Do you have the latest dxtop?
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
Actually it fixed itself... It happened for like an hour after I flashed to the G build but its good now.
[G1 Apps and Games] Gimpeh:
Masterbaron, It would be a pretty nice feature to be able to use stock widgets and 1.5 widgets with DXtop. As mentioned by a previous poster, 1.5 widgets are not compatible. Many of us like the new forecast 1.5 widget but in order to use it we would have to ditch DXtop. I'd rather be able to use both of these great products and not have to choose.
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
Yes it would be nice to be able to pick & choose which widgets to use, rather than just be stuck to one set.
[G1 Apps and Games] yeticomes:
yes, that is a MUST HAVE please!

Hope it will be possible soon - I like DXTop so much but with that new weather widget & the "old" calendar widget from Dudecake 0.7 it is very hard to use ;-)
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
Also another thing I would like to see added (or changed) is the little orange squares when you use the trackball, they don't change when we change themes. If you could make those use the themes colors like you did with the tabs, that would add to the experience
[G1 Apps and Games] centecente:
Hy

I purchased dxtop some time ago and I have the 1.4.3 version

I've seen there is an updated version but I didn't received the email with the link.

I would like to try the 2 new widgets so can you send me the link?

thanks

filippo
[G1 Apps and Games] testing567:
Don't worry. It's already in the works. Give it time and read this: http://dxtop.wikidot.com/forum/t-151357/cupcake-1-5-widget-compatibility-in-the-future
[G1 Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
The same link is used for updates, just download again using that link.
[G1 Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
dxTop 1.5.0 is released with BetterAndroid font pack support and Cupcake widget support (If your running cupcake)
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
Sweet I asked for the fonts a while back & now cupcake widget support!!j! You DA MAN!!!

EDIT: this new version broke the compatibilty with my other widgets... nothing I had installed shows up in the widget menu now
[G1 Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
What widgets? I didn't implement support for widgets that require scanning in the cupcake widget menu because the scanning method is obsolete and should have never been done. The widget developer needs to update there widget using the new location method located on my how-to page.
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
Well I have your widgets installed, which don't show up in the widget location. Or have you just not updated those yet?

EDIT: Now that I look at it, where's the orignal wigdets?? The clock, search bar & the picture frame?
[G1 Apps and Games] centecente:
ok I 've downloaded the new version 1.5 but It doesn't start at all...

always force close

I've cleared default settings and no widgets are installed

any suggestion?
[G1 Apps and Games] t1h5ta3:
5/8/09: Version 1.5.2

* Long-press back button to open recent/running apps tab

* Long-press menu button to open all apps tab

* Fine tuned font & color options

* Cupcake picture frame widget fixed

* Cupcake blank screen when returning fixed

* Take screen shots option. (Enable in options menu and use camera button to take screen shots)

* Smooth scrolling when dragging of dock <—> tabs
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
Something I have been wanting to ask for but just keep forgetting, in the wallpaper dimension selection, can you add the default android dimensions to the list?? I know this is designed for a square wallpaper but none of my wallpapers are square & I don't like cropping them. Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] t1h5ta3:
screen shots
[G1 Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
Picking 4x3 allows for the standard wallpaper size (ie. 640x480). You can expand the selection area if you need to.
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
Ah cool thanks I never even checked that out.

Another thing, in the newest version, you have to ability to call the 2 tabs by long pressing the menu or back buttons. Can you make this optional?
[G1 Apps and Games] xtrip0dx:
I just dragged a widget into the dockbar... didn't fit quite right but I think it would be awesome if they did

I've been running DX since the begining, and I just want to say thanks for making the best alternative home screen.
