I'm chinese,let me tell your guys who want to use modaco roms but don't like the ime what to do.

1.download "modacopatchedrecovery-1.0.zip", you'll find this useful file from this forum.unzip it to your hd(eg.d:\hero).

2.connect your phone with usb.not mount the sdcard.

3.use "cmd" from windows start menu then type:

d:[enter]
cd hero[enter]
adb devices [enter][this will show your connected hero phone]

4.when you connect your phone correctly.let us remove something:

adb shell rm /system/app/HTC_CIME* [enter]
adb shell rm /system/app/CN* [enter]
adb shell rm /system/app/HTC_IME* [enter]

*notice:this step will remove all your imes.

5.install the new ime.i suggest you use google pinyin and moto pinyin.you can find the google pinyin from market (keyword "google"),and you can use google.com find moto pinyin (keyword "moto text input").

6.install it with htc sync or sdcard.now you have the best chinese ime.

ps. I strongly suggest Paul to use "moto text input" instead of others for next chinese core version.

Application can use Chinese IME after re-installing HTC_CIME and HTC_IME (from Dream);)

Hi!!!Thx Soooooooooo much! It's amazing using your update.zip, I was finding a solution to type in both CHT n CHS with Touch Input! Now it do works!!!! Thxx!!!!! Haha~~~

awesome. Now i can finally type in wubi instead of writing :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tianci86:
it hangs on mcr 2.8 :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Vener:
I tested on 2.6, 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9

Which step did you encounter this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tianci86:
after i rebooted, and try to set it under locale and text. then it was forced to close the app.

i didnt choose to wipe though. i'm afraid all my settings will be gone
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChiLam:
Thank you so much! It would be perfect if there is Traditional Chinese input, is there a way to install it? SEA Hero stock rom does have Traditional Chinese input if im not mistaken.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ericlin0122:
I did the following:

1. A walk through follow the complete steps.

2. After reboot, same problem as u.

3. Follow step 1-7 again.

4. It works now.

P.S. I have never wipe anything. You do not have to wipe anything to make this update work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Vener:
Traditional Chinese is included, it is in the settings

If you are comming from the chinese ROM, I think you will need to wipe, if you are comming from the core rom, it should work.

Based on what you said, it is very possible that you typed the command wrongly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChiLam:
Can't find it anywhere for pinyin input :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Vener:
I think you using the chinese version, it will not work with it.

unable to delete HTC_CIME

Hi Bro,

Had tried to used the rm but these files are read only , I use chmod in terminal also unable to change to writeable or to delete them. (btw I had root access)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CruiseMan:
Ensure you have write permission on the directory before removing the files. Alternative, use root explorer and mount as RW before you remove the files.

Cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] potterang:
Thks bro, found a easier way, just had to

adb remount /system [enter]

adb shell rm /system/app/HTC_CIME* [enter]

adb shell rm /system/app/CN* [enter]

adb shell rm /system/app/HTC_IME* [enter]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CruiseMan:
Just sharing, I am running the MCR 2.9. In order to use the Google Pinyin. This is what I do.

1. Backup only the HTC_IME.apk from /system/app to /sdcard

2. Remove all the IME from /system/app

3. Restart my HTC

4. Install Google Pinyin IME

5. Install back the HTC IME (from step 1).

Everything working perfectly now :) I think I am using the Google Keyboard instead the HTC bundled.

Cheers.

Hello.

Looking for original Launcher.apk file from original 1.5 rom.

Find the file in / system / app

Some time ago, installed advanced launcher, but unfortunately there were problems with the normal installation so i switch this file using

the instant root, root explorer and command cat, but unfortunately by that switching file,original system update to 1.6 is not transferred to the exclamation mark, after pressing alt + l can be read with this problem with Launcher.apk therefore turn to you with a great asking for original file Launcher.apk from the 1.5 rom
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Download a 1.5 based ROM (JF 1.5, Cyanogen <4.04) and extract it's contents, use the Launcher.apk from /system/app.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kashue:
Cyanogen uses advanced launcher in most of His roms.

I remember that some of near 4.04 was with orginal launcher, but can U write me specyfic numer of it? or maybe link to it? Becouse on cyanogen site are only rom > 4.199
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Grab JF1.51 from this link. It has the standard launcher.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kashue:
thx...i try this one :)

i can't install it, i used :

cat Launcher.apk > /system/app/Launcher.apk

reboot phone and do wipe...but update to 1.6 stop on patching /system/app/Laucher.apk

Why does my phone (details in sig) connect to the Internet after all my phone calls? :confused: I see the EDGE symbol notify me its connecting every time i hang up. Did i acquire some type of virus or spyware? :eek:

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I attached the fix I got from HTC. Hope this helps. :D
[General Questions and Answers] TheSlimHim:
I found a Link that might help this. I'm still looking through the Internet but just in case anyone else is having this problem i just wanted to let you know. Btw good google search term is "fuze edge after call" or "fuze edge hang up"

http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&thread.id=118000

I email HTC. I'll tell you guys what they say in case anyone else is struggling with this. From my interpretation this is only happening to some people after doing the ROM update ( http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=198&cat=2&dl_id=553 ) and is a problem with the dialer and not the ROM. So if anyone know how to fix please post it. I'll keep you updated with what I come up with.

Still no reply from HTC :mad:
[General Questions and Answers] TheSlimHim:
Well i was the only one this thread but....

I eventually did get a reply and they emailed me the hotfix for this. I'll post it on XDA if someone asks. (im not sure how so i wont waste my time if no one wants it)

i update to android 1.6

shall i have to root my G1 before partition my SD or there is another way for partition without rooting???

if i must root is there a way for one step rooting or i must downgrade the G1???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
You need to root for the phone to use the ext partition as space to store apps and swap (optional) as virtual memory. The three partitions can be made with one click using Amon RA's recovery.

There is a one click method, but I can't find the guide for it here at XDA. It really should be stickied imo.

Hi all,

looking for an application similar to ftpCAM on the Iphone...I just want to take a snapshot when I see one and want to upload it on an ftp-server.

So far I tried Webcamera Plus, PPCWebcam (2005) and Mobiola Whatsername, but none of them fulfills my needs.

I just want to click and upload manually.

Any ideas / tips? My phone to be used is the Xperia X1.

Thanks,

update: December 13

Added an Answer Button on screen v22 250px no call waiting info and no dialpad button visible

file: phone_v22_250px_button_update.zip (update on recovery)

update: December 12

Added Cytown v22 180px with callwaiting info and 250px without CW info

V22 new layout

Photo: 250px

Removed dial button (it is still in the bottom but only invisible, drag up to show the dialpad or use the menu)

Modified Background and position for text Incoming call/dial/hold

update: November 14

Added Cytown v21 with the background from Eclair, contact picture 210px and a big 250px and for who are asking it a full screen version

In the full width Photo I set to "visibility none" the DIALPAD, it is still there but only transparent... you can call it with the menu also.

And the size of the Phone.apk is 900kb besides 500kb, I have to check why.

Thanks to Cytown / Cyanogen / Brandenk /Bkmo

The files are to flash it in UPDATE RECOVERY MODE

if you want to push it with adb just open the zip and look in the app folder.

thanks to Brandenk for the info.

and Bkmo to optipng'd and zipalign the file.

WITH THIS THEME YOU LOOSE THE INFO OF THE CALL WAITING CALLS.

I am not a developer all I did is some png and hex edit... I don't know if it works with all the roms. Backup your Phone.apk first...
For installation, check the Cytown original thread...

Cytown Phone.apk thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=539752

I am not a developer all I did is some png and hex edit...

My tweaks:

Bigger Caller Photo: 210px

Removed the border background and added some colored background for the call display: calling/connected/ended/unknown/bluetooth

what I changed

The Xml Layout Portrait in the source is:

file: call_card_person_info.xml

<ImageView android:id="@+id/photo"

android:layout_width="116px" Change to 210px or bigger if you want

android:layout_height="116px" Change to 210px or bigger if you want

android:scaleType="center" Change to fitXY

android:background="@drawable/incall_photo_border"

/>

the file is binary I did this in HEX

Offset 0x469 -> change 74 (width 116px, default) in D2 (210px)

Offset 0x46D -> change 74 (height 116px, default) in D2 (210px)

this is already fixed by Cytown

Offset 0x480 -> change 05 (center) in 01 (fitXY to expand the photo 210px)

thanks to Wysie for new offset.

The image is a little blurry because when you add a contact the crop edit in Contacts.apk crop it to 96x96px.

I also changed the Contacts.apk to make crop of 210x210px and it works...we have a very defined picture, but when the contacts are syncronized with Google Contacts the picture come back to 96px :mad:

I hope Cytown will improve in some way the Contacts.apk...

Inside the zip file there is the .apk you have to push it to the phone.

I don't know if this modded phone.apk work with all the roms, I am not a developer, I putting here some tweak for who want to make a "regular build of phone.apk", we are lucky we have Cytown that make the Android Phone usable.

For the apk use the Cytown thread as reference http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=539752

[G1 Android Development] G1-evolve:
This worked perfectly for me. (tried to make it as noob-friendly as possible).

1.) Open terminal application on your phone

2.) type "su" to get root access

3.) type "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" without the ""

4.) type "cat /sdcard/Phone.apk > /system/app/Phone.apk" without the ""

5.) If there is a Phone.odex file in your /system/app directory, remove it by typing "rm /system/app/Phone.odex" without the ""

6.) Your signal may disappear for 10 seconds, don't panic! This is just the phone adapting to the new Phone.apk you just installed. If you still get no signal after one minute, try rebooting.

7.) Don

You can find the V.20.1 in the first post, you have to unzip it extract the phone.apk and push it as somebody wrote in the thread.

For the update on recovery you have to wait that Brandenk build it.

bomb ****!!! ... the best..

turn sync off..

delete contact pics try CONTACT EVOLVED in the market to see all who have pics..

delete pics..

sync your contacts wit google...

then turn update off after final sync... re put new sized pics in with contacts.. then when done sync up and enjoy new size pics!!

thats what i did it worked fine!
[G1 Android Development] xenio2000:
Could you explain a little better? step by step with indication of where are you editing/adding/deleting image? (contact in android, gmail etc...)

I am trying but does not works for me, as I said in the opening post, when you edit a contact and make a crop, the size is hardcoded as 96x96px in the contacts.apk, I changed it and works well until the next resync with gmail contacts.
[G1 Android Development] mrnv45:
ok well

1 sync so all your contacts come in and what not..

2 turn tour sync off ...that away it dont slow your phone down and update after every little change..

3. delete all the pictures in your contacts

4. Sync your phone if contacts are still there (wit pics) just delete em while sync is on it might take a bit more time :(

5. turn sync back off when finished with complete sync of contacts

6. put all your images back in contacts using either sd or sync pics apps..

7. turn sync bacc on

8. ennjoy!

thats all i did.. and i never got pics bacc..i think the key is to sync maybe 2 times once you have all the pictures blank!... that away gmail pics up the no pictures..

also maaybe you should make a rectangle instead of a square.. lik width 225x height 300 or lower if not possible..

Better Image quality using Gmail Contacts rather than Edit contacts in the phone

After some test, I can get a better image using GMail Contacts for upload and crop the avatar. (It is blurry but decent)

Using the Phone -> edit contact give me a very compressed and with a lot of artefacts image (totally unusable)

Thanks xenio2000 for these mod, I like very much the image in big for the contacts, the mobiles that I have had image was seen to full screen

Would it be possible that you were doing a modification so that the image was going out occupying the full screen? or if it is not possible that it was of 360x360, it would be very grateful to you, because I have tried to do it, but not with which he programmes these files XML are edited, the publishers that I have cannot open them.

Thank you very much
[G1 Android Development] xenio2000:
There are several problem to make it full screen or big than 240px

All the text info (caller name, organization, number) will be pushed down until it disappear, it is a relative layout I cant put info over the image.

The original Google Contacts image is 96x96px very small, stretch it to full screen make it too blurry.

I am using HxD to modify the xml.

I have now the source of Phone.apk now, so I can make more tweak than hex edit, I could try to totally rewrite the layout...

[G1 Android Development] nolageek:
Anyway to have it check for a local contact image (on SD card) first then, if none is found, to use the image in contacts (gmail)? Maybe something like name the images /sdcard/media/images/contacts/contactname.jpg

Sorry no way to get better Photo

Sorry guys there is no way to get a better quality from Google Contacts, it is fixed to 96x96px as web service, I have looked the api from GContacts and there is no way to change it.

You can check it at: http://groups.google.com/group/google-contacts-api/search?group=google-contacts-api&q=photo+size

and the api http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/contacts/docs/3.0/reference.html

I did some modify in Contacts.apk to crop and store the photo to 320x320px and it works, the phone is still fast, there is no slower response for a bigger picture.

The photo at 320x320 is keeped inside the Phone until the next sync with Google Contacts, after the sync all the images go back to 96x96 :(

The screenshot with the contact photo is nice... until next resync :mad:

Bump on this thread
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
For anyone interested, the new offsets are:

0x469: Value: A4 = 164

0x46D: Value: A4 = 164

New offset for the fitXY/Center:

0x480: Value = 01 (Cytown changed it already, I believe.)

Change them to D2 for 210px, or whatever size of your choice in hex.

I've attached 2 versions, one with just the size changed and another which is Eclair-themed using images from djengizz's Android 2.0 theme. I believe they are identical to xenio2000's one :).

Thanks xenio for providing the initial offsets! :D
