Non of the download links are working. Or is this just me?
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
Hey everybody,

I feel awful about neglecting this thread. I had a personal family emergency, and the entire thread just left my mind entirly. Sorry I didn't at least post something to let everybody know it might be a few days til I came back.

Anyways, I'm reading through the thread now, and I see several skin requests and a few mentions of broken links. I'll do some skinning and some thread/link maintenance over the next couple days and see if I can get everybody's skin done and all the links fixed.

Until then, requests are closed.

Apologies,

Dave
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
Links working.

Not really sure what you're asking for honestly. Navy blue where and transparent where, like which parts?

Location and condition are hard coded into the widget and can't be changed by just a skin, but here's one with a dark font for the clock numerals. I'll screenshot it and add it to the front page later after getting ddms reinstalled. Grrr@computer issues.

Love this idea. Might take a couple days to get it right. Working on it now.

I've scrapped three ideas, and haven't come up with anything that looks decent at all. I'm still working on it though. I really hope I can get this idea to work alright.

Can someone tell me where I can find the wallpapers for these clocks ive search the thread there were a few posted. Where can I find the rest?
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
Which ones are you still missing and/or wanting? If I still have em, I'll post em

It's not my widget, but you can probably find it by searching for "weather widget donate" in the market

Stolen Skin

David,

You've stolen a photo of mine for one of your skins:

http://lock2.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/3924897493_17b2ed3753.jpg

This photo can be found at my website:

www.versonphotography.com

It can also be found at Interfacelift.com, which I'm guessing is where you swiped it from. This is a copyrighted image and is being used without my (the author's) consent. I need you to take this skin down immediately or I'll be contacting my copyright attorney regarding its use.

I've run into quite a bit of trouble with this image being used online without express permission and have taken action before, I will again if need be.

I'll be checking this site again every day and if it is not gone in a couple days, I'll be pursuing legal action.

Regards,

Daniel Verson

1) That photo is being used as a desktop wallpaper and is not at all being used as part of the CLOCK skin I created. If you had bothered to download the skin in question, you would have seen that I am NOT distributing that photo as part of the skin. It's actually being used as the desktop wallpaper in the screenshot of something unrelated to your photo (the CLOCK). The photo has no more to do with the CLOCK than the icons below the CLOCK. Perhaps by this same logic, I should be getting a cease and desist notice from Google since there is a Google Maps icon below the CLOCK in the screenshot.

2) I originally found the photo on an anonymous messaging board with no statement of copyright. If by using the photo as a PERSONAL desktop wallpaper, I've violated your copyright, I did so unknowingly and will be more than happy to remove it from my PERSONAL device.

3) Public accusations of theft should probably be investigated before they are made. I'm a professional photographer myself, and I have also had to go after people violating my copyright, but I've always investigated prior to making accusations. After investigation, I always send a private notice to the suspected violator, and 9 times out of 10 it's simply a case of the violator not even being aware of the violation. These cases almost always get worked out and fixed right away without damaging accusations being thrown about in public.

4) I'll make a new screenshot of the CLOCK to display the CLOCK with a different wallpaper on the desktop if that will satisfy you. Since I am not and never have been distributing your photo as a part of my skin, I will not be altering the skin or ceasing to distribute it. Also, the image you linked to is on a website I have no control over. I have no way at all to remove the screenshot from any place other than this forum.
[Android Themes] schtuka:
Good answer. He could've asked nicely with better results. That image is all over the net.
[Android Themes] chucky80:
i LOVE THE PHOTOS ON YOUR SITE. THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL SHOTS.
[Android Themes] Mikey:
I should ask for proof that you are who you say you are.

Accusing someone for STEALING is a big accusation.

Can you supply us with proof you own that site?? ;)

i can make a username "Bill Gates" doesn't mean i am.....

Before making your first post accusing someone stealing....owning a site as such you say you do....check the facts with what comes in the download.

Someone owes someone an apology in my book.
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
Thanks guys, appreciate the support. I had to do a double take when i read the first line of the post "You've stolen a photo of mine for one of your skins." I was like whaaaaa?!? Last time I stole something, I was like seven years old.

I actually believe that he is who he says he is. It would be pretty strange if he was going around defending OTHER people's copyrights lol. I also don't dispute that it's a copyrighted image. I'm just pointing out that I'm not distributing it in my skin so there's not any real violation of the copyright going on to be defended against.

Seriously... the TITLE OF THE THREAD says the skins are just for the clock. It's like he didn't even read the post that was the basis for his claim. O_o
[Android Themes] schtuka:
perhaps he doesn't even know how that application works. i do not see any other possible reasonable or logical explanations to his use of big words "stolen" and "attorney". whatta dumbass.
[Android Themes] schtuka:
double post.
[Android Themes] TheBrilliantMistake:
Guys, regardless of where else on the net his photo is, it is still illegal to reproduce without his consent (illegal in most countries, not all).

Whilst it is true that the work is NOT part of the skin, it has been reproduced inadvertently as part of a promotion for the skin. It's no big deal, a new screenshot can be made.

Forget the rights and wrongs of his wording, I too am a photographer, and it's just plain not nice to see your work used in ways you did not intend or consent to.

I am certain that a nice email back explain the mistake and that a new screenshot will be made will keep him more than happy.

You can't expect a guy who has no connection with XDA to check out a skin, or read the entire thread etc. It's his photo, a mistake's been made and that's that.

I have loads of images on my own desktop screensaver that is the work of others... technically I don't have the license to do that.... but when it comes to reproducing them (even innocently), you could land in hot water. Although if he took it to court, the judge in most countries would ask you to pay 100 dollars to him and to be more careful in future (in this instance). It would be a very different matter if it ended up in some brochure ;-)

He's not dumbass... it's someone's livelihood. It's "just a pic" to you and me, but might be 100 dollars he can't afford to him. I agree that the word 'stolen' is strong, he might have said "You're probably unaware, but the work belongs to me, and sadly I cannot offer you my consent to use it, so please could you not do so"... but it doesn't make him a dumbass for going straight to the hardline!
[Android Themes] Charrion:
I don't think anyone is arguing the legality of his stance. Most of the posts I've read have admitted he has every right to protect his work.

However, "going straight to the hardline" is a dumbass move. Accusing Dave of stealing his work is libelous, and just plain rude. He could have quietly requested the photo be removed and saved Dave from being accused of theft and himself from being portrayed as an over zealous twerp.
[Android Themes] TheBrilliantMistake:
It's not libellous.
[Android Themes] schtuka:
not thinking through, not checking what actually is used and how, using "scary" words on the forum is DUMBASS anywhich way you take it. and if he really thought that he has a case here...... well...... i think his retained lawyer is a very happy camper.
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
Yeah, he blew my mind a little bit, but I also think calling him a dumbass may be going a bit far and unnecessary, whether it be true or not. Either way, I have yet to hear from him again, so I'm pretty much considering this done and over with.

And so far as having the image show up in the backgound being a violation of copyright, I did offer to take a new screenshot in my original response, but I'm not totally convinced I absolutely HAD to do that. I just figured I would offer regardless since it might keep the guy happy and wouldn't be any trouble for me to do so.

I looked around, and it actually seems to be common practice to distribute original work (that does NOT include a copyrighted image in the distributed package) but display a screenshot of that original work operating on a desktop that just happens to have a copyrighted image in the background.

But like I said, the offer to take a new screenshot, is still on the table, but I'm offering it out of courtesy not out of any perceived legal obligation.

Check it out, here's Google "violating" Microsoft's copyright of an image in their screenshot of Google Talk found on the Google Talk website:

Pandora "violating" the copyright of the same image on the Pandora website:

DoubleTwist "violating" Apple's copyright on the DoubleTwist website (I doubt Apple gave consent to DT to use their image to promote an iTunes competitor):

Apple "violating" the copyright of another copyrighted Microsoft image on the Safari website (I could be wrong, but I really doubt MS gave Apple permission to use their copyrighted work in the promotion of a rival browser):

Is it possible that the flip clocks can be designed in a diff form position.

I had the weirdest idea when looking at my screen in landscape mode.

Having a clock that is stacked on the homescreen in portrait mode.

Ex say its 10 21pm

It would look like this

10

21

(Weather icon here)

Just an idea I had, thought id share it.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snowmaniac22:
so i tried flashing with a new rom and when i restarted the phone it went to the green mytouch3g screen and just hangs there. i tried everything to restore the phone using the android recovery menu by holding the home and power button. but now im left with a phone with no operating system so it wont boot. i dont have a mini SD adapter either so is there any options that i can take to fix it or at least bring it back to stock ROM. thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] htcclay:
If you have adb you can ums_enable after a format of your card to place an update that way.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snowmaniac22:
how do you do that? im pretty new to this whole thing
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] htcclay:
Do you have adb installed?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
1.	Download the rom you want to flash the phone with.

2.	Download androidsdk if you don’t have it installed yet.

3.	Copy the rom file to your androidsdk folder to keep things simple.

For example:

C:\androidsdk\tools

Place the rom in the tools folder

4.	Once that has been completed, place your phone back into recovery mode.

5.	Connect your phone with your usb cable, one side to the phone and the other to your computer usb port.

6.	Now go to start/run and type cmd followed by the enter key.

7.	Then type c: followed by the enter key.

8.	Then type cd androidsdk\tools followed by the enter key. (this will depend on your location of your androidsdk folder.

9.	Then type the following to connect to your phone.

10.	Type adb devices to start up the services.

11.	Type adb remount, followed by the enter key. (This might now work in recovery mode, but I'm use to adding it.

12.	Type adb shell, followed by the enter key.

13.	While in adb, type mount /sdcard or mount /system, followed by the enter key

14.	Now exit from adb

15.	Now you should be back in the tools folder of your androidsdk folder.

16.	Lets get started with pushing the rom over to your phone.

17.	Type adb push rom.zip /sdcard

18.	Press the enter key

19.	The file should start to copy to your phone.

20.	Wait until it completes before moving forward.

21.	Once the file has been copied type reboot recovery, followed by the enter key.

22.	You should do this to insure that the recovery mode see your new rom.

23.	Once back in, simply choose your new rom from the menu options and flash away.

I hope this helps,

pull the system and check the build.prop thats what i had to do? and ended up with the orange one!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Can anyone help me? lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rvashi:
Where is the build.prop file? Can we access it using a file manager (astro) or does it have to be done through ADB?

If ADB only, could someone please provide directions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
What exactly are you trying to find out here? If it's an operator branded Hero, it will have... operator branding! :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Ahhh...mine isn't branded. Just says HTC
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
Actually, looking at the Orange website, it appears that Orange haven't applied any physical branding to the phone, whereas my T-Mobile unit has a T-Mobile logo on it.

What colour is your Hero? AFAIK, all Orange UK ones are graphite.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] domi55:
ADB way:

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rvashi:
Thanks for the instructions through ADB. Before I try that, I thought I'd give it a shot from Astro File Manager and it worked and I found the build.prop in the System folder.

Confusing though... Mine says its out of 'Rogers' and I know Rogers doesn't have the Hero. I wonder if Paul (Modaco) is using it on Rogers and since I have his ROM on my Hero, that's what it says...true?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] leshii:
Yep I'd agree with your synopsis I too have used modaco's update and my build.prop also has rogers in it however it is in a commented out part of the text so will not cause us any problems so don't worry about it.

I am grateful to modaco for producing this rom as it a a hell of a lot better that the rom that the hero came with!!

suppose if you want the original build.prop you could take a nandroid backup, then restore your backup from before installing modaco's rom (that you should have taken) check then restore back to the first nandroid backup.

Then again are we trying to identify the hardware, if so I'm not sure the hero comes in different flavours (yet) apart from the sprint one which seems to quite different but still may have the same hardware.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] N0oB:
Hey guys,

I recently bricked my MyTouch trying to upgrade to the new cyanogen ROM. I need help. I am going to send it back to T-Mobile under warranty, but I need revert back to the old SPL. I tried the "Unroot" procedure (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=547133), but it says "Checksum Incorrect!" I will also need the original recovery image.

Any Ideas or can you guys point me in the right direction? PLEASE HELP!! They said that if they find issues that were not covered by warranty (i.e. Rooting the phone), I will owe $390.

By the way, fastboot still works if that helps.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] N0oB:
Think I might have figured it out. I'm a retard. The checksum issue was because my SAPPIMG.nbh file was 11 MB instead of 96 MB like it should have been! :eek::o:eek: How I did that I don't know, but I will post again and confirm if it worked.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] N0oB:

Hi, I tried to flash the radio rom with release 1.17.25.09, and my phone is now blocked, I got an information about an issue with the RSA, and now when it boot, I get the message "Update code ROM error, please try again"

[Touch CDMA General] TravisBean:
Will I void the insurance on my sprint touch if I install WM 6.5 ?

And does 6.5 work well on the touch?

And while I'm at it, How do I get the touch to automatically go to speaker phone, without having to select speakerphone at the beginning of each and every call??
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
i don't know if you'll void your insurance but 6.5 works very nice on the touch.
[Touch CDMA General] natefish:
It won't void your warranty as long as you flash back to stock rom before taking it in for any service. I have never even given thought to voiding a warranty because I just back up whatever custom rom I have, flash back to stock, service the phone, flash back to the custom, and restore the data.

As for the direct to speaker option, I've never heard of it, but I'm sure it's just a matter of finding the right registry item to edit.
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
The problem will be if you break the phone in a way that you can't flash back but they can repair it and see that it's something else, like if the data/charging port gets damaged.

I personally don't like 6.5, I've used NSFans roms. Just don't like it
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] estens:
This is my first shot at doing anything with a Device's ROM so forgive me if I mention something stupid.

Basically what I'm trying to do is add one program to the install process, so when a Device is hard reset it goes back to factory + this one other program that I want to install.

I currently have it as a .cab package and the company I work for has given me an I-Mate K-Jam to learn how to do this, and then adapt it for newer devices. (which I'm sure will be a fun task).

I'm using the guide for creating a new ROM found here: (which is fantastic)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=303406/

The only problem is that I have no idea how to tell the package where to put files. The cab I have wants to put files in these directories.

[DestinationDirs]

CopyFiles1=0,"%CE2%"

CopyFiles2=0,"%CE4%"

CopyFiles3=0,"\Temp

If someone could explain this to me, or if there is an easier way to go about doing what I'm doing any help would be greatly appreciated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrxkpex:
Hello everyone! Last night I spent about 3 hours installing the JACXHERO-v2.6.6 rom onto my Tmobile G1 using a method from unlockr.com (http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how...g-best-method/). Unfortunately, it runs extremely slow right now.

For example, when i press home after sending a text message it goes to the HTC screen and simply sits there for about 30 seconds. At first I thought this was due to the weather widget updating but even when I took it off it still does this. Another thing is that it will sometimes take 10 seconds to switch screens when i slide my finger.

I know I am still new to this and realize there are some veterans on this forum that have a lot more experience with this. Can anyone please suggest to me what to do?

The bottom line is, all i want to do is run a stable and lag free (or fast) Rom.

Thanks guys!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
i am taking a few liberties...

from the line, that you want a stable and fast rom, i assume you would like another rom besides hero. so download the latest stable rom off of cyanogen's thread.

after you download it and put it on your sdcard go into recovery then to the recovery console and type

mke2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

that will format your ext3 partition.

now type in the recovery console

reboot recovery

once the phone boots up into recovery again, wipe the phone then flash the rom, then reboot when it is finished.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrxkpex:
alright will do but i was wondering if you could give me a step by step instruction on how to do all this (like i said im very new to this sort of thing) =/ im sorrry
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
i'm no rocket surgeon but here goes

download rom

place on root (no folders) of sdcard

power down phone

boot into recovery with home and power

scroll down to recovery console

enter command above to format ext3.

then type reboot recovery to boot back into recovery

select data wipe/factory reset

press home to confirm

now select flash any .zip (assuming you have cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image, if not, name rom to update in windows or update.zip for mac/linux prior to putting on phone, then select apply update.zip sdcard instead of any .zip)

hit home after selecting your rom (again 1.4 recovery)

when it is done flashing select reboot

happiness is yours.

yes you must wipe the phone and your ext3 partition since you are coming from hero to AOSP (cupcake/donut) (opposite applies as well).

[ROM]JACxHEROSki-v2.1 - Experimental

...that's all I have to say.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingklick:
So are you saying Cyanogen's "experimental" builds aren't fast? If you were following the Hero scene closely you would know that every Hero build is "experimental," some just happen to be faster than others.

I recommend flashing one of the new ROMs such as Hero2 1.5.1, Modaco 2.2 (requires some tweaking to get flying), JACHEROSki 1.7r2(older but more stable/fast), or Drizzy's 1.4r1

NOTE: this is just my OPIONION :cool:
