Hello again all. I have been using Fatal1ty's Hero builds for a while now which are fantastic Thank you again Fatal1ty. But no matter what i seem to set swapper to it makes the phone run really slow. When I actually disable swapper is when this build runs the smoothest for me. Was wondering what settings everyone here uses for swapper to get the performance increase from it.

currently is set to the following

/sdcard/swapfile.swp

65mb

20 swapiness

i have tried 20 60 and 100 swapiness with upto 256 mb and really didn't seem to help. just wondering what settings that everyone else uses to have it run more speedy. Also I was wondering if it is possible to put to system memory like in the space for applications although I think that may be a bad idea depending on type of memory as will more then likely make that memory fail with all the read / write cycles
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] combat goofwing:
with the phone left switched on i put it on charge last night at around 10.30pm

got up at 5.15 this morning to see the green light on

when i went in to battery info to check it said the following

full charged at 00.50monday 06 july

stand by time 4 hrs 15 mins

device usage 13 mins

how can this be

i was in bed so didnt use the device

and why is it saying fully charged at 00.50

with the charger still in and power switched on does this mean it does not take any charge once the light is green

hoping this may solve my battery problem as im on my 2nd TP2 and the battery lasted less than 18 hrs use yeaterday with about 15 mins of use

thanks for any help
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] poppinpengawen:
k first of all, it's not a good idea to charge it overnight like that. take it from me, when I first got my Tilt (which was my first phone that used a Li-ion battery) I would charge it overnight all the time so that I would have 100% in the morning. but I noticed that the overall battery life slowly began to decrease the more I charged it till the status light was green. I ended up going the warranty path and had a brand new one sent to me, and ever since then I've monitored my charging, making sure that it didn't charge to the full 100%, and it's been fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] quarintus:
It could also have been that specific battery. I always charge my phone overnight, and nothing goes wrong.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Shawn_in_Tokyo:
Do the instructions for rooting a Magic handset apply to retail versions?

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting

I ask as the HTC info on fastboot states:

"you cannot flash these images to a retail devices such as the T-Mobile G1 because the images do not have the appropriate cryptographic signatures."

Does this mean only developer phones have bootloaders that can flash or that the ROMs available on this site have cryptographic signatures that allow the bootloader on retail handsets to run?

I know there is a "hacked SPL" later on at step 13 but I don't know if I can get past booting with fastboot at step 11.

Sorry if this seems obvious to you.

Thanks

Shawn
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ekindangen:
Not all Magic can be rooted as instructed. Mine with HBOOT 1.33.0010 cannot be rooted as fastboot will not work. Still waiting and searching for ways to root my Magic till now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Caid444:
Shawn, which model do you have?

If you've got hboot 1.133.0009, you should be able to do it, but be careful as there're a lot of people who're putting their phones out of service (myself included) by attempting to do it with too little understanding of what to do first, and then next, and then next.

Caid.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Shawn_in_Tokyo:
I've got nothing right now. I'm trying to figure out which handset to get knowing I'll want to root it.

Options:

1) Hero (not available yet and not know if rootable)

2) Google Magic Dev. phone (via auction in Japan -- $$ ouch)

3) Retail DoComo Magic

Other ideas of handsets that are known to be rootable?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Caid444:
The htc magic, and the vodaphone magic are both rootable, if you follow the tutorials to do so.

Caid.

Is there a way to make the touch diamond look and run like the touch diamond 2.If so how would i do it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tom62:
you should flash a rom with TF3D2 and another tachi options !

you can find it in Diamond ROM development. I use Gen.Y D2 R1.2 and it works very well

Hi,

i would like turn the screen off then i listen music, to save battery

can anybody help me?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Kraize:
Not possible buddy. You'll have to either assign suspend device to a hard button or use something like ChangeScreen which allows you to turn your phone's screen off by a)fliping your device down or b)putting it in your pocket (aka orientation is upside down and lightsensor is not detecting anything.)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Tirronius:
You could use Mortplayer. It has an option to turn off the screen after a configurable timeout. When pressing the standby button the screen comes back online again.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] 65coupei6:
Cann't you just press the power button? :) Works with most music players. I use nitrogen.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] porridge:
Thats what I was thinking, it works for me with the Media Player that came with the phone.

[Touch HD General] saksman:
I use the "Automatic" profile in "Settings - Sounds" which switches the phone to Vibrate if it is during the time period listed as an appointment in the calendar, which is great. However, I've noticed that it doesn't always return the phone to ring once the appointment time is over. The idea is useful but I've missed some important calls as a result of it not changing back.

A related issue is that the Sounds profile defaults to "Normal" after a soft-reset which means that I have to remember to go back into settings to change back to Automatic - which is annoying. Will the HD Tweak fix either or both of these issues?
[G1 General] Glen L:
since im using HTC_IME can I delete the android keyboard?

also would it be possible to include HTC_IME in JF 1.51 rom?
[G1 General] cal3thousand:
If you have root, yes you can delete it without adverse effects. Also remember to delete the Dalvik-Cache file

As for including HTC_IME in JF 1.51... yes, you would have to put it in the ROM and resign the ROM. Not sure if it requires special framework files, but I doubt it highly.

Should be straightforward from here.

[Touch CDMA General] jmitr:
Yes they are different.

Do you have those cellular booths in a mall near you anywhere?? I saw one in Montreal that sold Vogue and elf housings, cases and screen protectors (yes, even those are different).

I'd stick with something that said Vogue
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
Thank you for your quick reply. :)

I'll get the Vogue one. (I hope they have a Sprint digitizer available :()
[Touch CDMA General] criminalogic:
its true..

I have tried hard cases for tha GSM touch and it wouldn't even fit at all, tha back Speaker hole and self portrait mirror do Not line up with tha CDMA variant....

and that's true iv seen exactly tha same images used in auctions for both.. lol
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
And all this time I've just thought the cases I bought sucked... lol. :o

I replaced the casing on my phone with a used one from an Alltel touch. Both were obviously vogues, but mine is a verizon phone, and the alltel digitizer is working great on it with no issues.

Hi Guys,

is it possible to change android (magic) taskbar color/theme for the device without root access?

I don't like the boring white, I want black taskbar with white font.

any suggestion will be appreciated :).

thanks
[Android Themes] Draxter:
I would like the same :) my device is rooted though :)
[Android Themes] MontAlbert:
dont think it is possible if you aren't rooted. If you are rooted open up the update.zip file you are using as your rom using 7-zip, go to where framework drawable folder is. Open status bar and change its colour, drop it back in and resign app. There are instructions how to do this in themes section of Dream.

I'm using the Vodafone rom... I don't think I can get my update.zip from that? I rooted my device with haykuro's stuff in this tutorial.

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting

I want to keep my Dutch XT9 so I can't flash anything else but smartphone france or my stock vodafone...
[Android Themes] MontAlbert:
all the drawables should be in the root-me rom. open it and have a look for them.
[Android Themes] Draxter:
But if they aren't I will brick my device by flashing a wrong framework...
[Android Themes] MontAlbert:
no you wont. All you do is open it and drop in the .pngs you want, then resign it. they will be there in the rom- if not look at one of the other roms- Rogers, or daldroid will have them.

If it does go in to boot loop reboot into recovery and flash the last working rom you have until you figure out what went wrong. The only thing you are changing is the pngs. you shouldnt go intoa bootloop doing this- i have done a heap of theming for myself for the G1 and each time i got a boot loop it was cos i was playing around with services.jar and xml files. each time i just rebooted into recovery and reflashed previous working rom.
[Android Themes] Draxter:
The thing is, I don't know which ROM I have... I have rooted my magic by using the android-dls tutorial with haykuro's stuff. There are still some vodafone relics left. I still have the vodafone shortcut, and i still have support for Dutch XT9.

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting

I haven't made a Nandroid backup and I don't know how to make a backup either so... There is only one alternative, flashing Smartphone France firmware, it has Dutch support. I wouldn't mind trying out that one but that'll be the first time that I flash firmware onto my Magic so I'd like some guidance on MSN with that :)

Drawer

Im looking for the application drawer button in the res folder that is inside framework... found the status/notification bar and all icons but can't seem to find the app drawer button... i want to change it to a darker grey and make the notification bar black...
[Android Themes] Draxter:
the app drawers are in launcher.apk
[Android Themes] fxn:
Easiest/safest way of changing the graphics I have found was to:

1. Connect your phone via USB and make sure you have the drivers installed

2. do adb remount

3. Do a adb pull on /system/framework/framework-res.apk for example

4. Open the apk with something like winrar etc

5. Locate the png files you want to change and extract them

6. make modifications to the files

7. pop back to the apk

8. do an adb push of the file back to the device

I've done this with fairly few apk's such as the launcher.apk and framework-res.apk and never had to resign the file =o)

The advantage is that you are using the file from your phone that you know works =o)) certain apk's don't even need a restart such as the Launcher.apk, I did alot of modding with the app drawer without ever needing to restart the phone.

This is good for changing the images but things like changing the clock color is ALOT harder, it requires you to edit the services.jar file with a hex editor =o(

Hope this helps.
[Android Themes] pep1t0:
Ok, i did find the file in the launcher.apk, i edited it and all the other files and now need to resign in linux... was looking for the SignApk.jar in the SDK and didn't find it... also tried JF's testsign.jar and didnt work... can anyone point me in the right direction so i can resign the file using test keys in linux.

Thanks,
[Android Themes] fxn:
If you just changed the png's you shouldn't have to resign it
[Android Themes] pep1t0:
What about the hour and date font in the status bar... if i change the notification area to black it wont automatically switch to white text... do you know where i can find the parameters to change it?
[Android Themes] fxn:
Some of the text like notification texts etc are held in framework-res.apk xml files in the drawable folder if I remember correctly.

The clock is the difficult one as it is inside services.jar file, its a serious pain in the back side, the dream forum has more info about it but it involves opening up files in hex editor and changing the hex code directly there

I'll be having a look at this and see if I can make step by step guide of this but it is seriously a pain!
[Android Themes] babydraz:
Any idea which XML's in framework-re.apk (or other location) hold the various notification font colour(s)?? I can't seem to find it.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mda71:
After searching for days, I found a solution:

Initial problem:

Most of my contacts are stored in the following formats

xxx-xxxx

(xxx) xxx-xxxx

+1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx

If i dial a local number using this format xxx-xxxx any contact saved as another format would not be recognized. Also, If i recieved a call or sms from a contact saved as (xxx-xxxx) it would not be recognized since tha callerid from i receive is either (xxx) xxx-xxxx, 1(xxx) xxx-xxxx or +1xxxxxxxxxx.

Solution:

Edit "HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIDMatch" to the number of digits for local calls. In the US, local calls require only 7 digits. So, i set it to 7. Worked like a charm.

Ok just do it, and don't even ask. Name the user name (who actually owns an Xperia) that you

1) Notice the most

2) Disagree with the most

3) Admire the most

4) Notice the second most, and third most, and everyone else (in order)

and give a reason why.

1) Olrelsi

He's posting messages like fish or ants lay eggs

2) Olresi

Love's his Xperia more than I love mine, and gives it more attention than it deserves

3) Gtrab

He's got the NAM American Roms; and he's even got other goodies that don't require the custom Roms

4) Spikegotti

When I see his avatar I always think if that is actually him and what the phone is he holding, and what country he is from

Ethermind

I don't know, don't ask

SouljaBoy

I hate Soulja Boy as an artist, and I wonder who in the world names his user name with that artists name
