Another way to dump is using itsutils. (Its by Itsme, one of the mods).

Just search xda for it. You will get a descriptive guidelines about how - what - when.

Also there is a thread about imei changing in xda, either dev / hack or general forum.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] techboydino:
been lurking here for a while and own both a G1 and Magic on Att in the states. want to say thanks to everyone for all the hard work.

just wondering if there is or could be a thread that is just composed of links for Rom's. it would be a simple/dedicated way to see what is out, updated and works with your phone. no posts or comments, just author and their work.

with so many Rom's, Recovery's, Kernel's and updates, its hard to keep track of what works with 32A/32B and what is the latest out. I know the threads list what model they are for (32A/32B) but still some work with both and only list one.

if this exists, please let me know. thanks again.

If you come here often enough it should be pretty easy to spot what's new and what's not.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
And it is pretty nice for most authors to include the date updated in the subject line now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] karnovaran:
As a noob, I'd have to say something like this would be useful if anyone has the time to make it. I'm sure over the next couple of weeks I'll be familiar enough to have a clue about what's available here but it's very slow going sifting through pages upon pages of comments. I've also noticed every Hero ROM has someone saying "this is absolutely the fastest Hero ROM here, thanks!" It would be nice to read something more definite about which ROM really is considered the quickest, which has the fewest bugs, etc. I'm sure that might take a lot of work, though. Either way, many thanks to everyone here for developing these items and letting us play with them.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
+1 lol

I think it'll be too much work to test it that way since you would need to wipe, flash, and test it for a substantial amount of time to find out how buggy/fast a rom is. And if multiple people do it, it will be hard to compare the results. The rom will probably be updated before the first test is even complete making the result somewhat pointless.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ricardomega:
Not only that.. The most fast ROM nowadays (in my opinion) is the one with less features and with more issues to solve (I wonder why ;) ) ...

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone knows a way to define a priority on the connection to use based on whats currently available, i.e First go for USB (laptop) if available, if not then WiFi if available, then 3g, gprs etc...

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
umm?

if you're connected to your laptop through Active Sync, i'm pretty sure that automoatically will make your phone use your computers internet.

If Wifi is on, that should automatically take priority over your phone's data service. If it doesn't, just disconnect the data service in the Comm manager.

So yeah, what you want is already an implementation of WM.
[Android Themes] BlackElvis79:
I want to make a thread for both those that are already Dev'in themes, and those that want to start, can trade info and techniques. For example:

Photoshop Editor:

Then a description of a given process...

Etc.

I know that there are How To's, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=471586 but I'd like a more direct, and detail orientated place to discuss the specifics. I've tried a few attempts myself and found that some programs work, some don't. Plus, since the prices of some of these programs are as high as $600, and the fact that there are thousands of web-based programs, it'd would be nice to see what works best for who, and how.

Hopefully, this will turn into a good resource, and we'll soon have a forum full of the most excellent themes.

photoshop is my primary weapon of choice but I've also found that for minor edits like color changes touchups transparency changes and resizes photoscape and fotoflexer work pretty well especially when I'm at work and decide to mess around because I can't install photoshop on my work computer due to administrator locks I just downloaded photoscape and installed to the documents folder and fotoflexer is an online image editor and both are free
[Android Themes] Ted417:
Okay... here is something very usefull...

You know those pesky indexed files right? they corrupt if you open them in photoshop?... I figured out how to remove the indexing... first you need to download and install Paint.NET off of the web... and then install(of course)... and then open any indexed file in Paint.NET... then save it... and it will be un-indexed... :D... this will be very usefull for lots of people... cuz it is for me! :)
[Android Themes] beagz:
I like paint.Net myself. Its free and if you load the plugins available you can get a lot done quickly and easily.

Best tip is to make sure you save stuff in layers so that if you only need to edit part of an image you can.

Another tip is after you finish your edits you can expand the canvas on all sides by 1 pixel then use solid black for doing the .9 marks. Once done you can dump your files right into the latest eclipse and draw9 isn't even needed which saves a lot of time.

Also 7-zip is just amazing. You can use the file manager to move files between zip files and apk and even jar files without unpacking or packing over and over.
[Android Themes] armyranger251:
I agree with beagz 7zip is a must it makes it a hell of a lot easier when porting your themes for new builds another life saver is the android sdk lot s of useful information in there and eclipse for compiling .9 images which there are samples of in the android sdk to show you how to do the guides properly like beagz was talkin about in his previous post because if you mess one of those your phone can end up totally screwed
[Android Themes] brandenk:
This is easy

Apps

.zip/.apk management: 7-zip (the most important part of theme development)

image manipulation: GIMP

Software

sign/resign files: Java JDK

.9.png editing: Eclipse to compile the apk

Pre-reqs

ADB working properly through the command prompt
[Android Themes] jonnybueno:
Applications that make theming possible for Jonnybueno

I use Photoshop for images. Hue and Saturation(ctrl+u) is my best friend for changing the color of stuffs. For hex editing, I use HXD, outlined in this thread by Stericson: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=479019.

For signing, I use Stericson's Autosign.bat. If you don't know, you can double click on this to pull up the command prompt rather than launching the command line and then typing "autosign". Also, you can copy the file path by right clicking while holding the shift button on Vista.

And finally, for notification text, I use Ohsaka's colorChange.jar. Along with this really simple batch file.

White text:http://sharebee.com/b6b43290

Which is just one line(that I'm too lazy to type everytime I update)

java -jar colorChange.jar theme.zip ticker=FFFFFFFF clock=FFFFFFFF date=FFFFFFFF ongoing=FFFFFFFF latest=FFFFFFFF clear=FF000000 network=FFFFFFFF roam=FFFFFFFF

Resources

For viewing source to reference those xml files, I use these sites

Cyanogen source:http://github.com/cyanogen

Android reference (stock): http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.attr.html

And then this website for finding just the right RGB codes: http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html

Tips

I've learned that it is totally possible to rotate .9.png files using windows without having to redraw them and that images don't have to be the original size. There is a limit to how big you can go... but i have no idea what that limit is.

Oh and for different colored(other than black) notification text for downloads, edit the only xml file in DownloadProvider.apk/res/layout. For example, 0800001C 000000FF becomes 0800001C FFFFFFFF. In case you're confused, whats happening is that you're changing an ARGB code (which is backwards, so you're looking at BGRA... see stericson's thread please) from black (000000FF) to white (FFFFFFFF).
[Android Themes] ZilverZurfarn:
Working from Linux (Ubuntu) I've found File Roller to work as nice and easy as 7zip in Windows for working with zip/jar/apk.

GIMP is my gfx editor of choice in both worlds. Glad I discovered you don't need draw9patch to put the .9 guides in - draw9patch is a pain to use!

In Windows I use XVI32 a hex editor, ghex in Linux.

testsign.jar is all you need to sign - very simple from command line in both Linux and Windows

I am about to re-partition my SD card. I currently have Fat32 and Ext3, and according to some posts in the development section, having a swap partition on your SD will speed up your phone, especially when u r using Hero ROM. Is that correct ? If I do so, do I have to reflash the FW ?

Thanks in advance. Hope you guys won't get annoyed with those noob's questions of mine :p
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
I don't know how people can run Hero without swap, it does help a lot. 64mb is a good size, anything bigger is too big imo.

No, you shouldn't have to reflash.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djosiah:
i asked a similar question not too long ago. all you have to do is backup your ext3 partition if your running apps 2 sd and want to keep your apps without having to install them all again. then you just repartition your card with the swap partition included and then restore your ext3 partition. hope this helps :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oblika:
The phone was too loud when booting up (too loud to reboot when in school ;) ) so I created an update.zip which disables the sounds at boot time - when the little android pops-up and later at the HTC logo (boot sound).

You should be able to install these whit the cyanogen's recovery image (copy the file to the /sdcard as update.zip, boot the recovery image, apply update.zip and you are done).

* file disable_boot_sound_update-signed.zip disables the boot sounds

* file enable_boot_sound_update-signed.zip reverts it to the stock (re-enables)

The process is done by replacing the /system/media/boot_animation.xml so if you have any custom boot animations/sounds this will possibly override/discard them. You have been warned ;)

If anyone would contribute a new (better/different) boot sound, I can package it into an update.

WARNING: To disable boot sounds on a MoDaCo custom ROM versions 1.2-2.0 use the 1.5.1_bootscreens* files

To disable boot sounds on the 1.79.482.3 firmware or prior please use the disable_boot_sound_update-signed.zip.

If these files exist in /sdcard, use them:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oblika:
Hmmm... must check how to do that with the update script... I know it could be done by a bash/shell script within the system (booted up/no recovery)...

It's actually only one file (boot.mp3) and there are also .gif files for screen animation.

What are the trade-offs between using Jblend vs. Jbed?

It's been a while since I've used Jbed. I remember it had a background mode, which Jblend still doesn't have. And I'm not crazy about how Jblend throws a wobbly when I change screen orientation.

But, beyond that I don't know how the Jblend version on the TP2 compares with the current Jbed. I haven't found any good comparisons that were less than a year or two old. Even the MIDlet Bible is out of date now.

I don't have a particular attachment to Jblend, but saying it "sucks" isn't a real compelling argument against it. Are there any real performance comparisons you're aware of between Jblend and other JVMs?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
I base my statement off the fact that if you open/close the keyboard, the whole thing crashes/resets/whatever... That right there was the deal breaker.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vasra:
I use mini instead of 9.7b w/ turbo.

Why:

Mini is an order of magnitude faster in real life.

9.7b is still buggy as hell, often crashing.

Scrolling on 9.7b is painfully slow and redraws take a long time compared to Mini Opera.

Granted, one must install the above linked JBED+signed Opera Mini+associated quick link to get anywhere near usable installation of Opera Mini, and even after that one has to tweak the font size.

But once this is done, there's no contenst - at least for me. Mini Opera is waaaay faster than Opera 9.7b with turbo enabled.
