I dont understand how this is a stupid question? As I posted before, it looks like this will be possible. It's Lifestyles in the new Hero ROM. if on the main screen you select lifestyles, it gives you four options.

default

communicaton

internet

multimedia

If you select one of these it will change your home screen icons and widgets to the default for that "lifestyle".

You then have the option to change and adjust it to your likes.

If you then switch back to Default it returns to the previous Rosie layout.

Back to internet or whatever you choose before and ALL your changes are still there.

This combined with the theme changer that has not been implimented 100% yet gives the OP the option to do EXACTLY what he wanted to do, easy as pie.

So I believe that this is far from a stupid question, let alone the STUPIDEST.

thanks.

All you have to do is get the script that allows you to load boot recovery.

#!/system/bin/sh

echo "boot-recovery

--update_package=SDCARD:themes/"$1"/update.zip" > /cache/recovery/command

reboot recovery

Save that as theme.sh with gscript

Go in terminal and do this

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cp sdcard/gscript/theme.sh system/bin/theme

cd /system/bin

chmod 755 theme

Now get bettercut so you can backup your desktop

Save each theme update.zip file in a folder for example

sdcard/themes/theme1

sdcard/themes/theme2

Now you can type

theme theme1

And it will load theme1

After reboot restore desktop with bettercut

DONE

There. It's more complex than a regular desktop replacement, but you can save different layouts and backgrounds, etc...
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] uberingram:
Best answer in this thread. I keep folders each named after the theme or build then the update.zip in each of them. Keep a script for each update.zip on the SD card appropriately named. Launch GScript, pick the script from the theme directory I want and run it. Bam. Done. No ****ing with file managers or typing. I keep a plain Jane ROM as an update.zip on the root of the SD card in case of nasty things like boot loops even after a wipe.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] og01:
ok I think this is possible to a degree,

use a rom which mounts the second partition to /system/sd

first do this in a terminal:

mkdir /system/sd/app1
mkdir /system/sd/app2
mkdir /system/sd/app-private1
mkdir /system/sd/app-private2
mkdir /system/sd/data1
mkdir /system/sd/data2
mkdir /system/sd/dalvik-cache1
mkdir /system/sd/dalvik-cache2

cp /data/app /system/sd/app1
cp /data/app-private /system/sd/app-private1
cp /data/data /system/sd/data1
cp /data/dalvik-cache /system/sd/dalvik-cache1

rm -r /data/app
rm -r /data/app-private
rm -r /data/data
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache

ln -s /system/app1 /data/app
ln -s /system/app-private1 /data/app-private
ln -s /system/data1 /data/data
ln -s /system/dalvik-cache1 /data/dalvik-cache

reboot

install and run gscript

then create gscript with this:

rm /data/app
rm /data/app-private
rm /data/data
rm /data/dalvik-cache
ln -s /system/app2 /data/app
ln -s /system/app-private2 /data/app-private
ln -s /system/data2 /data/data
ln -s /system/dalvik-cache2 /data/dalvik-cache
reboot

and run it

wait for reboot

once you boot you will notice your phone has been wiped of all settings and apps.

install and run gscript again as it will nolonger be installed

set up the phone for your new user, install gscript and make this (slightly different) script:

rm -r /data/app
rm -r /data/app-private
rm -r /data/data
rm /data/dalvik-cache
ln -s /system/app1 /data/app
ln -s /system/app-private1 /data/app-private
ln -s /system/data1 /data/data
ln -s /system/dalvik-cache1 /data/dalvik-cache
reboot

run the script and you'll be back to the origional 'profile'

run the gscript again and you'll 'switch' to the new 'profile'

I have not tried this as i have no desire to make profiles.

but it should work. you will be able to switch back and forth between two completly different users, with different email, phonebook, wallpaper, apps... etc.... etc... etc...

with a bit of pissing about you might be able to change the script so that reboot is not needed.

(this version means faster switching than loading an entire image, and less writting to the internal flash)

combine this with beagz's post and you'll change the theme aswell
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] sonikamd:
Can this be done? Create a script to just replace (and resign or something) the desired *.png images?

I assume there are signing issues with this or something but it sure would make life easier.

Edit: Also if this were done we could get themes down to around 3mb in size(that's to to swap every *.png located in the Ion update rom). And for another 3mb you could replace all the default /media/ sounds with special theme_sounds.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] rydr1:
To the OP. Hopefully you find what you are looking for, but I would never share my phone like that; it becomes to complicated. I purchased a black one for me and a white for my wife. We are both happy that way. If your wife doesn't want a full technical phone, get her a basic one. My wife always thought that she would not use a lot of features on a phone, but you should see her now. :D
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] nolageek:
Seriously guys: sweeterhome. Why would you mess around with all these crazy shell scripts.. just make the desktop layouts how you want them and save them as themes in sweeterhome. It's a pain, but it has to be easier than constantly flashing and rebooting your phone and runnigng shell scripts, etc...
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] erasmogjr:
Why not just use a home replacement that does not reflect the home screen? I do this for when my daughter plays with my phone so she doesnt get into terminal and the like. Just set home for you and the replacement for your wife. Then either do not select one as default and everytime you hit home you can choose which one to go to, or clear defaults each time the phone changes hands. I have a friend in the military who moves so much that he and his wife use a cell phone as their home phone so I can see a use for this. As for taking them on your own days, that could be a hassle but you know whats best for you!

Stupid question

There are no stupid questions, only stupid people. And whoever said that this was a stupid question, is without a doubt, a very ignorant, stupid person. I don't understand why so many people like to hate on forums like this where people are only trying to solve problems to make their Android experience easier and more fun. This open-source operating system is constantly evolving, and the possibilities are almost endless to what you can do with it. As you can see, there have been quite a few solutions already to this "stupid question", and I'm sure within a few weeks some of these solutions will be tweaked and perfected to give that person exactly what he wanted, plus some. Never underestimate ANYTHING, especially when there are thousands of people working toward the same goals, ANYTHING can (and will) happen. This just goes to show all of you who are closed-minded that you shouldn't try to close the minds of others to make you feel smarter. People on this forum are here to solve problems and make things happen, not be told that they can't happen and are idiots for thinking so. There is not a big difference between a phone and a computer. They both have processors, CPUs, memory, disk space, screens, keyboards, and fricken operating systems. That doesn't seem very different to me. This should serve as a lesson to all of you who think you know everything and tell people they are wrong for wanting to get more out of their user experience. If people want something to happen that looks like it can't happen, they figure out a way to make it happen, plain and simple. Don't ever criticize anyone on this forum again for trying to solve a problem. You would be better off somewhere else.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] sonikamd:
I remember a wise man once telling me "the only stupid question is the one not asked..." or something like that. So ya please ask(after you do a search of course), questions are what lead to ideas which in turn tend to lead to innovations.

It seems to me this shouldn't be too difficult of a task (tho I have no clue how it would be done). There's only a few files that contain user data which would need to be saved/swapped per profile. The framework-res.apk seems to hold most the images (besides individual program icons) which would need to be replaced to change the look of the os.

Perhaps a simple script that replaces fram...apk1 with fram...apk2 then deletes fram...apk1.odex, builds fram...apk2.odex, backs up data*1 to the sdcard/profiles folder, deletes data*1, loads data*2 then reboots the phone.

I'm sure there are several more steps required but it seems plausible idk.

[General Topics] Flapjack:
I'm currently using Packet8. Before that it was SunRocket, and before that it was Vonage. I got in on the 2 years for $99 deal with SunRocket and made it through 1.5 years before they tanked. I was able to port my number over to Packet8 and get a real IP phone (no analog converter) for around $10 a month, pre-paid.

The service has been great, but they keep raising their rates. The main reason I've stayed with them is so I can use VOIP at home and keep my minute plan down on my cell.

With the last bill being $31+, I've finally decided to pull the plug on them. I thought about going with MagicJack... but then started thinking about the VOIP capability on my HTC Fuze.

Most ROMs support VOIP (via SIP) nowadays. Is there a provider that is cheap (like MagicJack) that I can also use through SIP on my phone? Does anyone enjoy a home-style VOIP service that they can also configure to ring in or dial out over 3G?

Any input/advice would be greatly appreciated...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jaze219:
So I was able to update my rom to the new 5.11.502.2 rom for the HTC Fuze on At&t. I have been enjoying the update, and it seems like the reception is improved.

But I did run into a problem....iono if someone could verify if this is correct or not. So when ever i send a mass text, i would only get one thread for the message and not for each other person i sent the mass text to. With the original stock rom, whenever you send a mass text, a thread conversation starts for each person you sent the mass text to.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] itsAUG:
i think everything about the text messages in the update is buggy. when i get a text and then reply but still stay inside the thread, my text message icon in the status bar stays there and then when i get more than one text from the same person and then go back to the message list it says there there is still unread messages even though i already replied to them.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] thehyecircus:
That's been an issue for forever.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] toxicsociety:
Nah, this is different. In the stock ROM, it used to automatically show the message was read, just by opening it. Now I have to scroll up to the message to show I've read it.

Sure, it's not that much of a hassle by itself, but when you text as much as I do, pressing the up botton a few times and then bringing it back down, just so the notifications go away, becomes a daunting task.

It's almost depressing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] toxicsociety:
Not in this way though... it used to be that I could just open the message, and it would register that it was read. Now, I have to manually scroll up to show I've read it.

It's not a huge problem, unless you text as much as I do. It's a major nuisance. Is there a registry tweak we can change to mark it as read upon opening? NOT having to scroll to the message itself, in the thread?
[XPERIA X1 General] completelyhis:
Is R3 out yet for the x1a silver, because the SEUS says my phone is current with R2. I thought r3 was released a while ago. I'm so confused!

Thanks,
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
It's released for specific language versions of Xperia. I guess your language or your region doesn't have an update yet.
[XPERIA X1 General] M.Ozturk:
Or you have a branded Xperia like me. I have a Vodafone branded Xperia and I also can't update to R3 because there isn't Vodafone R3 software.
[XPERIA X1 General] Nebor:
There isn't an R3A NAM (North America) available from anyone yet. My poor x1a thinks it's an x1i because I'm using an R3A with Windows Mobile 6.5 from the UK.
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
WTF...are you serious? Windows Mobile 6.5 is already released on the Xperia?
[XPERIA X1 General] WhyBe:
WM6.5 isn't released yet, but you can get it on this site. Just look at the top of the X1 discussion board on this site.

WM6.5 is beta, so it is still buggy. It doesn't stand up to day to day use for me, but it gives a nice preview of what is coming for WM.
[XPERIA X1 General] augie7107:

R2AA008 still the latest for NAM.

I also tried SEUS last night and there was no new update. I am in NY.
[XPERIA X1 General] jcsxda:
Guys -there are already a couple of older threads on R3A...

Check out this thread

R3A has been appearing on SEUS over the last month, different countries and operators are coming online gradually...

For me (with Vodafone UK) I just got R3A via SEUS this past weekend -at last! :D

Better signal reported by many (I certainly notice it), but none of the goodies that were previously leaked (new panel mgr, xtract, new WMP, growing panel, etc. ...none of these -guess they will eventually appear in R4A)

So R3A is a bug-fix release ...nothing really new (but worth it for better signal IMHO)
[XPERIA X1 General] augie7107:
I have been reading these threads for weeks. It seems that, like the release of the product itself, NAM wil be last to get a ROM update if at all.

I'm desperate for signal improvement because I live in a rural area.

My K790C reception kills the X1a but its lacking in features obviously.

I'd like to flash the UK R3AA0010 but I'm not sure if the radio will work well with AT&T's network
[XPERIA X1 General] augie7107:
I finally got tired of being ignored by SE in NAM.

Kaiser Notification for screen
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Balrog82:
Just got G-Profile myself and it seems to work great, just like G-Alarm already does for me.

Regarding KaiserNotification, you should be careful with that one. I used it myself for a while, but at one point it just smashed something, my device wasn't working well anymore and after a hard time with making the backup I had to hardreset.

I am from the Philippines and I am planning to get one. The nearest I could find was this:

http://www.expansys.com.hk/d.aspx?i=179097

But it is the UK version, is there any difference in hardware (keyboard layouts etc..) and software?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kraize:
There is always a difference. Usually in the bands, style, looks, and keyboard. I would suggest you wait until all three come out. If you are hasty, you may end up buying a version that doesn't support HSDPA in your region.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Chainfire:
TP2 EU/UK is MSM7200A with 2100mhz 3G. TP2 US (RHOD210) is MSM7201A with AT&T 3G. More versions are still coming, Sprint version uses MSM7600.

Wait until more is known and are out there to make sure you get the correct version. In general EU/UK versions are also compatible in large regions of Asia, but thats a rule of thumb, not a rule.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] LordLugard:
Also the U.S CDMA TP2 (Sprint and Verizon version) is going to be dual mode (CDMA and Euro GSM) i've heard. This especially has me tickled pink :p .

Basically i'm a happy Sprint camper and love the CDMA service, plus as a bonus if i'm visiting my big sis in the U.K, i no longer need to drag along my unlocked Moto Krzr, i can just pop in an o2 prepaid SIM in the same TP2.

Hope this comes to pass.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] muzikfreakah:
Well if it works in Hong Kong it should work in the Philippines I think. Thanks for the opinion guys, will ask expansys also regarding this matter.

Cant wait to get my hands on a TP2. Actually, I am getting a free Iphone 3G from my service provider as loyalty award and I am selling it to get a TP2 :-D
[G1 Apps and Games] Chirality:
I've been using the G1 as my primary music player and it has been working well for the most part, but the built-in music app is missing some features that I relied upon when I had an iPod. I maintain 1-5 star ratings for most of my music and use those ratings to play just the songs I like from the entire library. Does anyone know of a third party music player that could read star ratings from, e.g. ID3 tags and allow you to browse by ratings? Sort of related to that, I also relied on smart playlists that filters for, say, songs by a certain artist and at least a 4 star rating, so I could play a list of songs by an artist that I like. Static playlists would be a problem since the songs on the phone itself is only a portion of my entire library, so at any time the phone may not have all the songs of a static playlist like that. I was able to find a few third party music players but none of their websites provide detailed listings of their features. Does anyone who has more experience with third player music apps know of any app that provides these and other advanced features, or are just really good? Thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] tshizzle:
im not sure if there's one that does it all, but meridian player does recently added playlist automatically, and has 5star rating options. it does sorting by artists, albums, genres and has an option for resuming last played...and a lot more.

Hello there,

Few days ago, I was using G1 in rainy day and looks like the water has done some damage on it because now the screen keeps turning off. I have checked the liquid damage indicator and it's still white. So I'm planning in replacing in t-mo.

However, my G1 is rooted and I have WiFi tether program in it. Is it possible that this will void my warranty ? Should I restore to factory (although it's hard coz I can barely see )

Thanks
[G1 General] tubaking182:
very easy to restore to factory settings, justt grab the RC29 DREAIMG.nbh file and throw it on your sd card. then boot holding camera and your phone will say press power to update, let it flash and press the trackball then it's done. then your phone is back to factory settings
[G1 General] maennj:
One more thing, there is a sticker on the battery with pink lines on it, is that normal or is it water indicator ?

Cool thanks, I guess I'll have to do restore to be in the safe side
