*head explodes*
[HTC Excalibur] Shadow152:
Using a HTC s620 with Ricky's ROM, is it humanly possible to use the memory card 8GB SDHC as the default storage when i open file explorer and default locations when i hit save?
[HTC Excalibur] jdshifflett:
don't quote me for this but i think he expanded the sd memory capabilities from the 2gb default to 16gb. so i'd say yes?
[HTC Excalibur] fliparsenal:
pretty bad explanation. However, if u mean u can use your memory, the answer is no. you can put music on pictures and such but the /windows folder etc. has to to stay within the device
[HTC Excalibur] Shadow152:
Better explained, hopefully...

ok lemme try again, what i'm looking for is something most phones have had for a while, on my sony ericsson W580i for an example, not the newest of phones but not quite ancient, when you go into file viewer you can select whether or not you want to view the phone memory or the memory card, when you exit the file manager it remembers the setting and automatically saves everything to the memory card and opens the memory card by default.

Just wondering if this is a possibility with the s620 by either a 3rd party application or maybe a registry edit? hopefully someone out there knows how to do this as goin into the memory stick, into the appropriate folder and then find my files seems like a lot of hassle that need not exist :-/

hope this is better explained than my first post and hope someone can give an answer
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Resco Explorer can be told the default location to view :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] arturobandini:
Hi,

Windows only allows to turn-off the backlight automatically after 10 seconds (which is too short), or after 30 seconds (which a little bit long).

Does anybody know if there is a key that can be modified in the registry to have the back-light turn off after 20 seconds.

Thank you.:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jfrm:
Please....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] earni:
i use s2u2 and it lets you choose whatever amount of time you want
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] arturobandini:
I modified this in the Registry:

\registry\HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\BatteryTimeout to value = 20

But, I'm not sure it's correct..:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fwt:
You're on the right way ... but (there always is a "but" :p), if the Data in Value "BatteryTimeout is Hex 20 => 32 Dec, that means your Backlight will turn off in 32 Seconds

To get 20 Seconds you will have to take Hex 14

Hope this helps ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] arturobandini:
Thank you very much fwt
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fwt:
No problem, glad if i could help! ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibulabu:
I don't know if I'm paranoid but I believe this is a real problem. Do you notice that if you put the phone on a desk, the screen becomes very unresponsive.

Only when you hold it in your hand that the screen is great again. I think it's the digital compass that senses your hand (It's possible because there's the MetalDetector app on the market.)

What do you think? It's really annoying for me because I can't just throw it on bed and play with it, always have to hold it in my sweaty hand.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsnipuhx:
Don't take offense to this but hand eye coordination may not be that great when its on a surface and not directly looking at you or not enough pressure maybe?

On a side note, why is your hand always sweaty..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mannyb:
Do you have the white G1 with the glossy faceplate/backplate?

I know some people with the HTC Magic is having the same problem on some surfaces, such as fleece. Seems the shell of the HTC Magic is slightly conductive and on some surfaces that becomes a problem for the capacitive touchscreen (which as we all know uses the static electricity in your fingertips).

The reason I'm asking if you have the white G1 is because the shell of the white G1 resembles the glossy shell of the HTC Magic.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibulabu:
You're right, I have a white G1 with the weird back cover (something soft, cannot be scratch.) So is that the problem? I try to hold the phone in my hand and scroll a list, I don't have to push my finger too hard on the screen, just make a slight contact between my finger and the screen and that's enough. But with the phone on a desk, I have to push my finger to create a larger area of contact between my finger and the screen
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mannyb:
Yeah, that sounds exactly lite the issue a bunch of HTC Magic users are reporting. I don't think there is a solution to the problem though, other than to use a thin silicone case for it, something that ought to disable the conductive properties of the regular shell/casing.

There are some really slim silicone cases on the market, that won't make the phone much bulkier than it already is, you might want to try that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibulabu:
So there are different kinds of white G1, ones without the weird back cover like mine? Wow, guess I just had bad luck getting this one lol
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
it happens to my black g1 too but its only noticable when i pulling the notification or apps trays
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Woah, same thing happens on my black G1. If I put the phone on the sofa or carpet and use the tip of my finger it is completely unresponsive, but works fine in my palm or the palm rest of my laptop. Must be to do with conductivity
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibulabu:
Yeah, pretty annoying huh? I really hate it, especially when I'm lying on my bed or couch.

So this is a hardware, not software problem? :( I was hoping adev can fix this
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mannyb:
Weird, I don't have any issues with this at all with my ADP1. Does the black G1 have a "rubbery" matte backplate like the ADP1?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
ya its a rubbery matte lol

it works when i use the flesh of the finger but not the tip
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibulabu:
Hey guys, the problem is solved if you:

1/ Plug your phone to the wall charger/USB cord (you don't even need to plug it to the computer or wall plug, just the cord)

2/ Plug in the headphones (not even the whole headphones, just the miniUSB-3.5mm adapter is enough)

This makes me wonder maybe this is not a hardware problem. What do you think? I think Google is trying to prevent contacts by accident, so the screen is "on" only when you hold it in your hand.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
they both are wires that conduct electricity lol
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibulabu:
So do you think buy another backplate will solve the problem? There are G1s out there that don't have the rubbery matte or whatever backplate like mine?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Thanks for tip :) Would be great if someone could make a dummy plug for the mini usb connector which would have the same effect.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinetreehater:
my phone does this too. It is a conductivity problem. To prove it, make sure when you lay your phone flat, make sure at least two fingers or another part of your hand is firmly touching the phone. Responsiveness should come back.

This bothers me too...when I'm on the crapper I like to rest my g1 on the clothes hamper and browse. But it seldom registers a touch unless I have at least two parts of my hand touching the phone.

and spare me the comments please :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
I have a black ADP1. Mine does this too. Its quite annoying.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cigar3tte:
Same issue here, but it has nothing to do with the surface for me, but rather the flatness level. As long as the phone is lying down flat, be it a wooden table, bed sheet, or bathroom sink counter, if it's flat, it's less responsive (it's not completely unusable, just less).

A little tilt solves it for me, so i'd find something else to sit the top of the phone over.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
UPDATE: I no longer have my G1 so I will not be continuing development of this program. Currently, my only project is Find and Pull (in my sig), so feel free to use that (quite useful for me ;) )

Hey guys,

I've been working on a Windows program that will switch your clock widget for you.

Decided to start my own thread so I could manage the updates easier.

CWS v1.9.6

CWS v1.9.6 Mirror

Confirmed working on:

CyanogenMod, TheDude, JF 1.5, Google/HTC Ion, Rogers, JACxRom

ALL CLOCKS - 4x3 and 2x2 - :D

PREREQUISITES:

Android USB drivers installed (More info on this in next post)

USB Debugging Enabled

HOW TO USE:

1. Connect G1 to computer via USB

2. Extract the files from the .zip

3. Run ClockWidgetSwitcher.exe

4. Everything after that is self-explainable!

HOW TO ADD CUSTOM CLOCKS:

There are now 10 empty folders within the ClockWidgets directory.

5 for 2x2 clocks and 5 for 4x3 clocks.

Move the AlarmClock.apk into the proper folder:

If it's a 4x3 then you have the folders: customclock1, customclock2, customclock3, customclock4, and customclock5

If it's a 2x2 then you have the folders: 2x2customclock1, 2x2customclock2, 2x2customclock3, 2x2customclock4, and 2x2customclock5

Now open the program like usual and 5 new options are added at the end to push those clocks.

HOW TO ADD PHOTOS FOR CUSTOM CLOCKS:

Add the screenshot of each custom clock into its respective folder.

Make sure it's named "device.png". If no photo is available, the default will be used. (Default just being a picture which says 'Custom Clock #_').

HOW TO ADD NAMES FOR CUSTOM CLOCKS:

Add a text file to each custom clock into its respective folder.

Make sure it's named "name.txt". Also make sure there is only 1 line, which has the name of the clock. This will be used in status label at the bottom. If no file is available, the default will be used. (Default just being 'Custom Clock #_').

Changelog and credits are all in app.

If anyone wants the source code, just ask me, and I'll PM it to you.

If anyone has any suggestions or features they would like implemented, LET ME KNOW. :D I'll try and see if it's possible and if it's useful enough.

it seems that the regular CWS works with Rogers so I don't have to have 2 diff versions anymore ;)

i tried every single clock too just to be sure

so enjoy Rogers users :D
[Android Themes] g1junky:

[Android Themes] 2leaponover1:
Could someone please elaborate on these instructions as if i was totally ignorant to this idea at all (which i am).

I had someone design a theme for me for ahome. I decided to switch off of ahome because it is just too damn slow. I bought bettercut and used the same wallpaper and have been basically able to replicated the design part of the theme. I unpacked the developers original apk and got all the images from there. The only thing i can't figure out is how to get the clock back. It was an NY Islanders logo clock with hockey sticks for hands. I have the images, but have no idea how to get that to replace the generic clock design widget. Check my signature to see what rom i am running and i would appreciate any input.
[Android Themes] david1171:
its in AlarmClock.apk/res/drawables

appwidget_clock_dial.png

appwidget_clock_hour.png

appwidget_clock_minute.png

just replace those 3 files in that folder mentioned above. resign the .apk. in adb type adb shell rm /system/app/AlarmClock.apk push your resigned .apk to your sdcard and install it from there like you would a normal app and it should show up when you add analog clock widget to your home screen. hope this helps.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
Updated the program .. now with over 25 clocks :D
[Android Themes] golferguy17:
WIll this work on windows 2000?

I extracted the files and ran ClockWidgetSwitcher.exe and it acts like it's going to load but then just stops and nothing happens. Any ideas?
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
do you have all the necessary usb drivers installed?

and you might need to upgrade .NET framework (i have 3.5 installed)
[Android Themes] golferguy17:
yeah i use adb all of the time so i'm sure my drivers are working. I have no idea how to do that or check what i have ha, want to elaborate on that?
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
umm quick way to check it would be to go to add/remove programs and see which version is there ... and if you have more than 1 listed whats the newest one?
[Android Themes] golferguy17:
It says "Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1"

Seems a little old compared to 3.5 haha
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
yea just a bit ;)

run windows updater or hit up microsoft.com and update through there :D
[Android Themes] golferguy17:
run windows updater or hit up microsoft.com and update through there :D[/QUOTE]

I tried to download the 3.5 .NET framework and when i double click on the downloaded .exe file it says extracting with a progress bar and once that bar loads nothing happens... ugh stupid old computer
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
lol i think its because its an incremental update ... so you would have to find 2.0 first ... then try to go up to 3.0 and then finally 3.5
[Android Themes] doubleokneegro:
hey a member hit me up with a request for a pittsburgh pirates theme, and i made this clock

might think of making more, or maybe this will spark other people's minds if they want an easily personalized feel, sports fans, team fans, whatever...

um if anyone wants to add it lemme kno
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
hey nice clock .. some sports clock like that one would be raw ... maybe a yankees? ;)

can i use them in the switcher? just send me the AlarmClock.apk if i can :D
[Android Themes] doubleokneegro:
yeah what exactly did you need? i can chop up a yankees one as well.. ill use the same clock, its a good base
[Android Themes] doubleokneegro:
http://www.box.net/shared/4mzls1jd40

here is the alarm clock apk, i didnt sign it, but it should be in order and ready to go
[Android Themes] doubleokneegro:
http://www.box.net/shared/j8h9z6dzsi here is the attached apk

here is a yankees concept, i like the look

yes i can make a regular one 2
[Android Themes] doubleokneegro:
here is an eagles clock ill add the apk in a sec
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
im liking the look :) yea a regular yankees one would be awesome too
[Android Themes] Adam17:
Detroit Tigers pleeease

This could keep you busy for a long ass time, if you just did say NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB and the euro soccer clubs, but it would be an amazing addition to the community.
[Android Themes] doubleokneegro:
lol i kno i will tend to them as they come as i can i get to them....

yankees original coming tommorow
[Android Themes] doubleokneegro:
one more ive come up with, if people requst teams ill get to them... i didnt forget the last request working on it now
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
a suggestion for your clocks .. maybe put a little bit of transparency with the hands? i was planning on doing it to the yankees one before i use it ;)
[Android Themes] Adam17:
OK I am sure I am doing something dumb...

I got adb, I installed cws, the ui pops up, g1 plugged in, unmounted, pick the clock I want, it asks me if I want the 2x2 (no), and then... nothing

Also, on a side note, the backup wont work for me. I love the idea of this as I change themes all the time and usually hate the clocks, so I really hope I can get this to work.
[Android Themes] doubleokneegro:
Transparency of just the hands? Or the entire clock as well? I can set that upp for the yankees clock and after I'm done w my claasses I hope to post my yankees clock and detroit tigers clock....

Did the person requesting the tigers have a preferred logo?

Long as there is demand ill keep pumping them out, ill try to do "top" teams or whatever comes upp next lol
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
try running adb in a command prompt

try "adb shell" and see what you get

it seems like adb isn't working properly on your computer but lets see what we can do :D
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
transparency of just the hands mainly so we can see the design of the clock :D
[Android Themes] doubleokneegro:
Im on it, I hope to have it up soon with updated apks and pix
[Android Themes] Adam17:
Well ****...

It was working yesterday during the day, was using adb file explorer v3 and pulling mp3's out of soundboards that didnt support ringtones, and now it doesn't work at all. Guess I'll get that fixed and then cws should work, I hope.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:

ok.. OP updated with newest version :D enjoy
[Android Themes] Paulroberts:
it says it's pushed the clock but nothing happens on the phone.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
the problem with the status bar is that i havent error trapped it yet so once you hit the button it'll say that it already pushed it EVEN WITH THE PHONE NOT PLUGGED IN ;) ... i hope to get that done before 2.0 :D ... but if you have the usb drivers installed correctly and the phone is connected theres no reason why it shouldnt have gone through ... just remove the current clock widget and re add it :)
[Android Themes] Chosen_on184:
ok having problems pushing clock to my phone...i followed the instructions and downloaded the file upacked on desktop ran the exe file then when i click on the clock nothing... i saw someone was having a similar issue in a past post and saw the comment when it said to check the framework to make sure its most updated and its is i got 3.5 i got adb running on my comp so i dont know what could be the issue ...can anyone help

** ok somehow i got this working cuz when i went to the clock widget it has the new clock but as before when i click on one of the clocks in the exe file and it ask wether i want 2x2 or 4x3 and i click no it doesnt let me know wether it got pushed or not.. im trying to change to a different clock and no luck so far ... when i go to the app in the system file and install then open it goes to the alarm clock but the widget doesnt change sooo if anyone can help greatly appreciated
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
just to double check try running adb shell in a command prompt to see if you get anything
[Android Themes] doubleokneegro:
hey dominican.. (not a slur)

i have another clock i made, any way to make it 4x3 and maybe add it in? i can re-edit if if needed..

http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/852/screenshotsjn.png

the "dream" clock is the one i made
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
yea grab a 4x3 clock and replace the app_widget dial, hour, and minute hands ... then push it to your phone and see if the size is alright ... if not keep resizing the pngs until they look good :D
[Android Themes] priide:
Someone should try making a sun dial clock, with the shadow casting to show the time. Think it would look hot if done correctly. Just an idea I had. Thanks :]

Does this work on an X64 machine? I ran it as admin, can't remember the error but the clocks came up and said there was a sucessful push but the clock was never changed.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
yea the label says that theres a successful push even if its not (i gotta figure that out) ... but make sure you have the usb drivers already installed and then to check if all works try "adb shell" in a command prompt to see if adb is working properly
[Android Themes] ggrant3876:
I put adb shell in the command prompt and used clock switcher to open it with. I then get adb remount sucessful. I then get ophone gray clock pushed. Nothing changes on the phone, no new clock.

X is Ten!

XI is eleven!

VII is seven!!!!!!!! OMG please fix waaaaaaaa.... what is this world coming too...
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
you have to remove the current widget and then add it again ... if after that it still doesnt change then im stumped :confused:

i have no idea what you're referring to, lol, but i think it might be one of the clocks? ... i havent made any of those clocks all i do is find them and ask the creator for permission to add it to my switcher ... what i can do is let the creator know that there is a problem with his/her clock :D

EDIT: ok just looked through the clocks and i see that you're talking about the 2 ophone clocks ... ill check the ophone theme thread and see if he fixed this, if not ill let him know the bug :p
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
i meant to take the clock off the screen sorry about that :p
