I have an .apk file which containing the new HTC keyboard, and I tried to translate the Russian layout to Hebrew so I'll be able to use any ROM which use this keyboard (I can't find the original Android SK on the ROM).

There is no problem to find the Russian XML files, but it's all compiled to a strange binary XML.. can someone help me with it? is there any way to decompile it to a normal XML again and then recompile it so i'll be able to override the original on my system?

thanks in advance ;)

I wish we'll have an app in the future (maybe i'll write one ;)) that can easly decompile/recompile - just like we have for mode9 files etc.

A problem, I can only decode it to a normal txt file - but I can't recode it back to that binary xml format...

How can I do that?
[G1 General] jashsu:
There's a converter in the Android SDK.
[G1 General] avimak:
Which one? there's a lot of them there... ;)
[G1 General] cyanogen:
"aapt dump xmltree" will show the contents but not in actual xml.
[G1 General] avimak:
Hi man, I'm already using AXMLPrinter2.jar to decode the xml file, that's not the problem. I'm looking for a way to recode it back to binary - and jashsu says it's in the SDK, but we have there about 100 different tools so I asked him which one is to recode a simply xml to binary xml that's fits Android ;)

do you know?
[G1 General] zrubi:
Hey Avi,

why don't you use the hebrew keyboard that already published in iandroid.co.il forums?
[G1 General] avimak:
Well, first of all I'm using it now and it's great.. but still the HTC official keyboard looks bigger and wider for me, plus there is a space there (in the Russian layout) for question mark etc...

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
just remove the search images (search for files with keyword search) in the default theme directory.

to replace the bookmark shortcut, you need to have a pro version.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellboy1970:
Hi,

Recently got my t-mobile version of the diamond2, the Compact V.

I was used to the diamond, which flawlessly functioned as an external disk whenever i connected it to my pc.

When i connect the diamond2 to my pc, i can choose the option 'connect as external disk drive'. From my pc, i see it but cannot access the files (it looks empty). After disconnecting the cable, on the phone the internal storage card is gone... When connected with activesync, i can browse my storage card in my pc explorer. But also; after disconnecting the cable, the storage card is gone !

Only option is to turn my phone off and on, then my storage card magically exists again... How can i solve this? I still have the original T-mobile ROM (1.39.114.2 NLD)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peter van lis:
same problem ! The diamond 1 same problem with the internal storage :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasK:
I wouldn't say it's a problem. It's most probably a protection mechanism to prevent the card from being written from 2 sources.

Then again.. you could call it a limitation from HTC (or maybe microsoft)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hummel999:
It happend only if you choose Disk Drive. If you choose Active Sync, you can access it
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_Q:
This is a completly normal behaviour, and as far as I know, other phones do it this way too (Nokia's for example).

This limitation is not directly related to Microsoft or HTC.

The filesystem can not be 'mounted' to two systems at the same time.

For this reason, the phone will 'eject' the storage and act as a cardreader for the memorycard.

The reason you can access your Storage Card using ActiveSync has a reason. When you are using ActiveSync, the files are send to the phone and the phones writes it to the storage card. This has it's advantages and it's disadvantage.

Advantages:

- Memorycard will always be available for your phone

Disadvantages:

- You need ActiveSync installed on your PC

- Copying files through ActiveSync goes much slower..

The diskdrive option is much faster, cause your pc is directly writing to your memorycard and does not need a driver/software to work.

Hi,

I have cracked the camera lens on the battery cover of my ignito and was wondering where I can get a replacement.

I have spoken to O2 but they want to send it off for repairs which in itself is costly when its just a piece of plastic...

I have ordered one off ebay but it arrived without the camera lens included and am reluctant to order another.

If anyone has any ideas how to simply replace that small plastic piece or where to obtain a new cover that isnt via ebay then it would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] zoltar99:
I was going to suggest Expansys, but they only seem to have the extended battery cover. And they are expensive, compared to what you can get somewhere else. Which cover did you buy from ebay? I remember there used to be one which had 'Movistar' written on it, it looked like an original cover. I thought that would have the lens cover on it as well. At the moment I am using an extended battery cover without a plastic protection for the lens and am quite happy, there's no way you can touch the lens with your fingers. Also, I've just seen a Touch HD and the cover doesn't have a plastic lens protection either.

You CAN put your own background onto an SE panel. There are files in the panels folder which correspond to the 10 different colors you can select for the background.

Does anyone try to connect an external device (like an portable hard disk or an flash memory stick) to diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] mysterd:
Hi.

This question has been answered a number of times...

The diamond does not provide any USB Host capability. Thus, it's not possible to attach external devices to its ExtUSB port.

Some attempts have been done using special 'home made' cables, but today to no avail.

NOTE TO MODS: I know you may consider this thread missplaced, It was posted here for greater exposure. If you feel it should be moved them I am sorry for taking up your time.

A while back someone suggested a Haykuro Donation App for the market and as I have finally got my dev setup up and running under Windows 7 and I have the nessicary dev account with Google I bashed out a quick App and have the aproval of the man himself to put it up.

The app itself is a simple thing, just a thank you message with a link to Hykuro's paypal account. My problem is with pricing, I know that many here are young, not working or otherwise short of cash so did not want to make it too expensive. On the other hand, I want this to raise as much money as possible for Haykuro.

My idea was a Gold,Silver and Bronze version priced at $10,$5 and $2 respectively, that way people could pay what they can afford up front and everyone would still be able to donate via the paypal link.

So, what do you think? I probably won't have time to put this on the market till the weekend so will follow the voting till then

[G1 Apps and Games] Baldyman1966:
If I may quote from his last PM to me

"that all sounds great, but i don't have a google account to publish to market

besides that, the way you wish to roll out is up to you. by the fans, for the fans. i do this for the community, as well as myself, so the money is just a bonus"

Haykuro himself is not bothered about the money, but I want to offer another avenue for people to donate to him.
[G1 Apps and Games] Baldyman1966:
Can people who are selecting Other please put their suggestion/reason in a post or I will have no idea what you want.
[G1 Apps and Games] diaztradeinc:
The 2, 5, and 10 sounds pretty fair to me, if there's some of you who wish to contribute more then just hit his donate link. Otherwise this would be awsome, I to have been waiting for an app of this sort to show my gratitude to the big guy..."Haykuro" ......Thanks Baldyman. :D
[G1 Apps and Games] Baldyman1966:
And thank you, seems like you have really understood what I am trying to do here. Also, I think it may be you who first suggested the App.
[G1 Apps and Games] JakeEv:
No offense BaldyMan, but if Haykuro doesn't have the ability to put the app up with a google account, then the 2, 5 and 10 would go to you since you would upload it, correct? Now I'm sure you're probably a good person and would give it to Haykuro, but I personally think the app should be coded so as to donate to his paypal account directly. I don't know if that's even possible, but I'm not a programmer. Basically, I think the app should be free, and you can pay haykuro directly when using it.

Just my 2 cents.
[G1 Apps and Games] Baldyman1966:
No offense taken, I currently have this poll running both here and Androidcommunity and am beggining to see the free with link as the best solution, Maybe if I release the Gold,SIlver,Bronze & a free version it will cover all bases.
[G1 Apps and Games] JakeEv:
Good thinking. I'm glad you didn't take offense, I'm just super paranoid. If I could hand-deliver a donation to haykuro, that'd be the best way to go for me. :D
[G1 Apps and Games] Baldyman1966:
Well it's been about a day since I put this up, from comments here and on Android community I have come to the following conclusions.

1. The majority are in favor of the gold/Silver/bronze option.

2. A number of people do not trust me to hand over the money to Haykuro.

3. A number of people don't like the fact that Google/T-mobile get a 30% cut.

My current thinking is to release the Gold/Silver/Bronze option at $10/$5/$2 as previously stated and also a free version. Since all versions will be identical except for the name and I will link to Haykuro's paypal in the market desciption for all of the paid apps this should please all Parties.

Please believe me that my only intention in doing this is to open another channel for donations to Haykuro, not to rip anyone off.
[G1 Apps and Games] Baldyman1966:
Just to let you all know these Apps are now on the market.
[G1 Apps and Games] sensimila:
i just bought the gold edition. too bad it uses the browser to submit the donation. it would be nicer if you integrated paypal into it. imo.
[G1 Apps and Games] maxawesome:
I think it's a great idea, but I think a better way to go about it is to build an app similar to the JF Updater and let that have a donate button in it.

That way those who really enjoy his work also get the benefit of automatic notifications of updates.

Maybe too involved, but maybe not. Your thoughts?
[G1 Apps and Games] Ryanmo5:
I think there should be one app in the market and thats the free one. I think charging for this is a mistake. I'm sure most if not all people who have his builds also have his blog bookmarked so there really isn't a need for this whatsoever. I will use his donate link on his blog if i want to donate to him. All the money then goes directly to him.
[G1 Apps and Games] sensimila:
i use jf builds and haykuro builds and other donation dev apps. it would be easy to download to any of them from one app. just an idea
[General Questions and Answers] ferns_mccanus:
I've read the wiki article about SPLs, located here

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL Questions?

What is the difference between Flashing and installing?

And I've a few clarifications to make. There was this note that says "You should never use a SoftSPL to flash a full ROM to your device. You should only use them to flash a new SPL and once the new SPL is on your device, then flash the ROM! This is why you need to extract the SPL and flash it first and then once it is "HARD" on your device you can flash the ROM."

From what I understand, a SoftSPL cannot be used immediately until the SPL is extracted first, then flash it, then flash the ROM.

Then why not provide 2 things, the extracted SPL and the ROM, rather than both in one, and thereby create the need for the warning in the article?

Sorry if I sound like a noob, cos I really am!

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] denco7:
Think of it in PC terms, installing is downloading a program Adobe Flash or

Itunes ans installing it on your hard drive. Flashing is like going from Windows XP to Vista, you are replacing your operating system.

Generally , anything installed will get erased after a hard reset, anything flashed will survive a hard reset.

Generally the spl's are extracted from the roms already and are available in the forum to flash to your phone. Once your phone is flashed with Hardspl there is no need to flash a new spl for every rom.

Stock roms come with a new spl for every version, cooked roms do not contain an spl. There fore your phone must be flashed with a hard spl prior to flashing a custom rom.

Some say that when flashing a cooked rom that you should , for performance sake, flash the patched spl (hardspl ) that came with the rom that the cooked rom is based on ie: 3.56hard for roms that are based on AT$T 3.56.xxxx 6.1 roms or 3.34hard for 3.34.xxxxxx WWE based roms. I personally have seen no " hard " :) evidence of this. I have always used 3.29Hard whether I was flashing stock or cooked roms.

Further clarification about ROMs

Thanks for the reply, I think I'm understanding all these a bit more.

Another thing to clarify:

Basically, my phone comes with PAPAGO, a navigation software pre-installed. In other words, after a hard reset, it's automatically installed. So if I do a ROM upgrade, does that mean I won't have this software anymore?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] denco7:
That is correct, you will not have it anymore, unless the new rom includes it.
