More Home Screens?

Any progress with these additions? This is my favorite donut build. It is fast and stable and everything seems to work beautifully. I have Google Maps with Navigation working very well with it. Additional home screens would be a great addition. Thank you for your contribution. I am looking forward to your additions.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] detour522:
speaking of google maps... how do i access the "starred" items? do i need to log in separately within the app? if so then how do i get to the sign-in screen? am i simply forgetting to turn something on in the google maps menu??
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Ok I've decided not to release an update for this. I'm just going to just go with a different build with a different theme. Nothing to crazy just a nexus themed launcher with 5 home screens and wallpapers. Plus updated apps and a couple additions. It's metamorph compatible meaning that if you install to nand or ext2 sd partitions you should be able to theme your own builds with it. I'll try to have it up later tonight.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Shidell:
Interesting, can't wait to see what you have in store. :)

Have/are you reskinning CarDock, etc. yourself to fit? I had problems with that. I'd like to use "DeskClock", but that too isn't displaying properly.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Rescaling is such a tedious process :(. I wish there was a tool that would open the resources, resize based on a scale, iterating through each.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Shidell:
I might be able to build a tool to do so (in Windows), if it's uniform and straightforward. How complex would such a tool have to be?

(I don't know what needs to be edited to rescale packages.)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
I was thinking the same thing.

Unpacking an APK is easy enough (It doesn't even have to be automatic). If we can get access to the resource files we could run it through the windows app, rescaling the images.

And we could use the goodness of MetaMorph creating a package to inject the images back into the apk and sign it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Shidell:
Yeah, I could probably automate the rescaling process pretty easily, as long as it's something like this:

1. Locate all files (.png, etc)

2. Change attributes of file from 800x600 (etc) to 240x320 (or whatever)

3. Save changes

4. Archive

5. Sign

It depends on how complex it is.. I'd have to walk through the steps manually once to get a feel for it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
if you actually extract and re-archive the apks they wont work you will mess up the signature and the sha1sum and it wont work. the way i do it is just open the archive then drop in what ever i need to so it doesnt break the apks signature
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
+1 James

This is the correct way to theme.. As to resizing the png's I use faststone image resizer in windows and it's works great.

Is there any chance the HTC IME from the Tattoo will get ported to this build or to myn's Warm Donut build? I'd really love to have the Hero keyboard working properly in qvga :D

Loving the speed of these builds, the Tattoo builds are sadly too slow for me to use :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
it aint pretty but here it works in QVGA
[Touch CDMA Android Development] derringdo:
Oops, I should have clarified. I installed that one but it looks pretty terrible in qvga, so I was hoping a proper qvga version would come out. I'm assuming the Tattoo IME is built for qvga?

Thanks anyway for the link!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
yea that was a quick hack the tattoo one is proving impossible:( and well not worth it to port:p

sorry

where can i find the "lcd.density and resolution files to change them manually? I would like to find these and change them cause I would like to run at 320x480 res and just increase the size of my icons.. but ive never done it before so dunno where to find it, can anyone give me some info pls?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
if [ -d /sdcard ] ; then

echo "its in the default.txt, edit that!"

elif [ -d /nand ] ; then

echo "resolution is what you flash, density is set in build.prop"

else

echo "you're screwed"

lol sorry bored as hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
lol.........
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hhearld88:
hmm cant find "density is set in build.prop"
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
it should be something like this

# density in DPI of the LCD of this board. This is used to scale the UI
# appropriately. If this property is not defined, the default value is 160 dpi.
ro.sf.lcd_density = 120
# ro.sf.lcd_density = 160
ro.com.google.locationfeatures=1

'

where the #********* is commented out
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hhearld88:
I mean i don't know where to look to find this file
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
its in the system.sqsh

and located on you phone:

/system/build.prop

you need to unsquashfs the system or edit the file via adb

there are plenty of tutorials on unsquashing system.sqsh files and setting up adb on xda

if you have adb set up do this

adb shell mount -o remount,rw / /
adb pull /system/build.prop .
#####make your changes in the file then
adb push ./build.prop /system/

then reboot phone
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hhearld88:
tried looking all over the forums and googling it, but i cant seem to find a tutorial on how to open the system.sqsh.. can someone post a direct link to a guide pls? or program i need to use.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
first you need to run linux and have squashfs-tools installed. version 3.4 not 4.0+. install those and run

unsquashfs system.sqsh

. it will create a directory called squashfs-root and extract the files to it. i have a tutorial thread which i'll let you find. it should be in the next couple pages in the forum or you could use the search function. they are a big help. good luck.

help with defaul.txt

I set my default.txt to, mddi.width-240, mddi.height-320,lcd.density -120 and eveything is way too big!!! And I've tried changing the numbers around and its either too big or too small.any suggestions??? 1.5 looks good with 320 width and 480 Height but 1.6 just Looks like crap
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
i just pulled the working java from the donut build i've been running. it's attached below. i know for a certain that it works because i've ran it with opera mini beta 5 and also several java games with no problems. the attached is just the apk which goes in /system/app and the lib which goes in /system/lib. check the java thread on how to push them manually through adb or you can make your own androidupdate.tar by making a folder called system with two subdirectories app and lib and then putting the Jbed.apk in app and libjbedvm.so in lib and tar the system folder up. good luck. i hope it's not an eclair specific bug.

Good to see Vilord back.

Vilord was wondering if you fixed the issue with the QVGA HTC IME keyboard.

That's the only thing missing.

One more thing, I set it to home, then sleep in spare parts,

but it still doesn't go to home.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
Just out of curiosity, is there a reason there is no unlock screen? When the phone is asleep and I hit menu, it goes right to my home page. There is also no way to set an unlock pattern, since it just skips that screen.

GPS

hey i have a question about GPS on this build when ever i try to use it i don't see the little satellite icon at the top

however if i boot WM and and locate my gps and then boot android to works

but only once, if i exit google maps and go back to the app it no longer locates me.

is anyone else having this problem

beside that its a great build and i love it

this will be my default build until i buy the Droid in few weeks, have to wait to have the money

great work zen glad

Do I have to change data.img files every time I switch to a new build? I just got mine up and running and want to switch to this already:p
[Touch CDMA Android Development] casualonejp:
buttons

This build is fantastic, fast, and lots of coolness! One thing though, the touchscreen is iffy. When I click on icons or use the keyboard it isn't really accurate and sometimes a key or icon from across the screen winds up being the one that gets hit. On xrom it didn't do this but on certain builds it is just all over the place! WinMo is fine though. Any suggestions?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
Use the screen calibration tool
[Touch CDMA Android Development] bzo:
Is this working for everyone in this build? It used to work for me in an older donut build, but after updating to this one it doesn't work anymore. I'm running it on ext2.

I just push the top left red dot with the stylus, then the bottom right red dot with the stylus, it says calibrated! then I press menu and save. Seems to work okay...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
Hit the two dots with stylus then hit menu and save. If the.development app is installed you can hit test calibration otherwise it will force close

Zen, I would just like to commend you for this excellent build. It gives a nice themed look to Android without the slowness of Hero. Well done, sir.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] refthemc:
I seem to have a problem, I'm using all the latest files and it seems like 1 minute its running just fine and then for a bit it slows down, then runs fine, then slows....Makes it a little irritating when all i'm trying to do is use the broswer.....or simply open the dialer....

One other thing, there also seems to be a bit of a lag when waking up, I have to press the button like 4 or 5 times to wake this phone up.

Are these normal problems? if they are then forgive my ignorance because I'm not used to using Donut.

the QVGA market sure is small lol.. or does that mean the google account i'm using is fouled? i dont even have facebook. do i switch google accounts?

argh. it keeps rebooting itself. it's so so responsive though, i had no idea android could be this fast on our phones
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Rhys'Droid:
What you need to do to get the full market:

1) Delete your Data.img (or you might be able to clear the market cache, not sure...I started with a fresh data.img)

2) Set your resolution your default.txt to 320x480.

3) Boot up Android, log in to your Google account, open the market, everything should be there.

4) Change the resolution in your default.txt back to 240x320, and reboot, everything should still be in the Market, and will stay there unless you clear the data file. :-)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] scouzer:
Thanks a ton for the help, but unfortunately it didn't work. I booted into 320x480 on a blank img and sure enough, the market was normal. I blanked out my data.img again, switched back to 240x320 and booted up again, market was crippled again. :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
scouzer, don't delete data the second time.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Rhys'Droid:
That's 'cause you blanked out your image again. You have to log back into the same image that you created under the 320x480 default.txt. (hence the "unless you clear the data file" caveat at the end of step 4.)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] scouzer:
Ohh!! Sorry, I've been up all night, apparently my attention to detail is about zero :o

Hey, I really like this android build. Definitely fastest/smoothest/prettiest I've come to use (and in actual QVGA!!). 2 quick question though.

First question: I've been told that I can use the internet from my computer to pass through Bluetooth to my phone. Considering I don't have a data plan (and the vogue has no wifi), this is kinda necessary to back up contacts and whatnot. Is this true or can anyone confirm this works?

Second question: I can't get Bluetooth to turn on in Android. It sits and thinks for a bit, the blue light comes on, but then it just uncheck's the settings option and does nothing beyond that. Any ideas why? TIA!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] kkruse:
Call me crazy but vilords new rootfs seems to have helped some on the mogul. Might even buy me time till my contract is up in Jan.

Now i need to figure out whats up with the GPS. I was tempted to replace the gps lib from the 1.5 img on the vogue-android site. That one seems to work fine with mogul (only app that does work is "where").

Im by no means a linux newbie, but I am a newb when it comes to this type of appliication. What is the /dev for the gps?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
gascan555, I don't know about bluetooth but if you want to get online on your phone via USB internet from your computer, assuming it's running Linux:

If using Windows, maybe ICS would work to enable IP forwarding then on the phone:

With 1.6 it works great (not Market) but like 1.5 it can hard freeze requiring a reboot. I'm looking into that though..
[Touch CDMA Android Development] gascan555:
Considering I'm not running linux, and my computer doesn't recognize drivers when I plug my phone in running android, what should I do?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Link9228:
if you look on the vogue-android google code page there are adb drivers for windows. Those will allow you to connect your phone.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] gascan555:
They don't work. I'm running Windows 7. That a problem?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Link9228:
That's a possibility. I have XP and they work on that, but it's well known that there are many compatibility problems between xp and vista (and therefore 7)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
the drivers up there should work for 32bit win7 (i use those at home).

I installed this rom on my polaris and it works gr8 with the latest basefiles

smooth fast wifi good camera OK (quality is low)

but there are few apps which are crashing such has the barcode scanner.

kindly let me know how do I solve it. (libraries / upgrades / patches)

Also my windows 7 doesn't detect the phone. on the phone it shows usb debug connected but in the laptop I dont get any popups etc. cannot install the drivers if the device is not detected and even with inf file it throws error

How did you get to W7 64bit ? The driver is designed for Vista and my W7 don't recognized it. I try to allow install unsigned drivers, but seems this is not my problem.

Thanks for a hint.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
Niranjan: glad to hear it is working with your polaris!

The barcode scanner crashes for everyone, as far as I know, on these nonofficial devices...

For polaris to work with USB, the cable must be connected *while* you are booting up... So put the phone in activesync mode in winmo, connect the cable, *then* run haret. Once it starts up fully you can unplug/replug the USB and after a short delay you'll see it pop up on your PC.

Also you will want to disable sleep when USB connected, because as soon as it goes to sleep the usb will disconnect and will need to be replug-ed to show up again.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] arlojj:
Okay, I know this isn't a how-to thread, but I've never had an Android for Vogue build not boot, so I'm completely stuck.

I had settled on using Google Ion a long time ago due to it's speed. Checked XDA recently and it sounded like this was a great build, and I wanted to use some applications that use the camera, etc.

I decided to start fresh. Formatted my SD card and followed all of the instructions in the first post. Installed the latest basefiles, overwrote the conf from the first posting, set up the default.txt and tried to boot, but it wouldn't.

There's a bit more than this, but I've posted the error bits.

Any ideas? It doesn't even get to the "creating data.img" stage.

Thanks so much.
