Android Themes Basics 4:

Finally got round to making the requested .9s video:

-Retrieving and backing up the original framework-res.apk

-Using the Draw9Patcher tool to create the required guides

-Using eclipse to apply the guides to the image

-Pushing the file back to your phone

I hope the video is helpful, I know a lot of people do not like .9 files at all ;)

Android Themes Basics 3:

Back after a long break. Easy one to get going again: Changing system font.

-Backing up original fonts from your phone

-Replacing with new ones

Sorry been lazy recently =o)

Android Themes Basics 2:

Second Part of the video series is now finished =o). The topic this time is changing the status bar:

- Pulling necessary files from phone

- Extracting files required

- Editing the status_bar.xml file and classes.dex file to change status bar colours

- Repackaging the dex file

- Pushing modified files back to the phone

The video is split to 2 parts unfortunately due to Youtube having a 10 minute limit and I didn't want to cut anything out to keep it simple.

Android Themes Basics 1:

Just finished my first video tutorial for creating android themes. The topic of the first video is changing basic images so covers:

- Pulling files from the phone

- Extracting images from APK

- Placing edited images back to the APK

- Pushing the file back to phone.

I know this is very basic and most of you know perfectly how to do this but I thought I would start from the very basics :D

Let me know what you think and any areas you would like me to cover in future videos, Ideally I would like to create a series of videos that new people can work through to create full themes.

Videos:

Android Themes Basics 1: Changing Images

video

How are you I just tried to view the video an youtube is saying that the video is not available
[Android Themes] T3hFurious1:
Just yesterday I was hoping someone would do something like this. Thank you. Much easier than I thought it would be.
[Android Themes] MurderDeathKill:
Looks good, now just do one on .9's for the love of god PLEASE!
[Android Themes] cybapaddy:
Do you know how to create an update file with the Mac?

Now I use windows to create an update file ... is there a signing script available for the Mac?
[Android Themes] smackiesfunkies:
very cool

thanks man

cant wait for the upcoming vids and some .9 vids :D
[Android Themes] fxn:
T3hFurious1, maybe it was your post I saw yesterday that gave me the idea then, it was on this forum someone mentioned would be nice =o)

MurderDeathKill & smackiesfunkies, added the .9s video to the upcoming, I'll start scripting it out soon for you guys.

cybapaddy, absolutely no idea as I wouldnt touch Mac with a veeeeeeeeeery long stick, only reason the video is in windows is cause I thought it would be more helpful to majority than the linux version :D

[Android Themes] fenixnr:
I have the file somewhere hold on.

Edit: http://www.417photography.net/mac.zip comes with all 3 files!
[Android Themes] fxn:
Added a second video now with details on changing the statusbar, details in the first post :D

.FxN
[Android Themes] smackiesfunkies:
awesome man

these videos are a big help

i was wondering tho if you could add voice walkthrough as you are goin through it?

just a preference and a lil bit easier to follow along as youre doing it :]

if not its still very helpful
[Android Themes] fxn:
I was thinking of that but couple of reasons why I decided to go without tho, mainly I do these whilst I'm at work tho :D

I'll see what ill do for future lessons, although I do think the first 2 should be clear enough without audio, even tho the 2nd video gets bit tricky at times.

.FxN
[Android Themes] smackiesfunkies:
ohhhhh lol got it

yeah the first two are easy enough to follow

good job with em
[Android Themes] T3hFurious1:
Could you make a tutorial on pushing a framework-res.apk?
[Android Themes] joshuas_79:
Im waiting for this too

Great job, dude. Thanks!
[Android Themes] fxn:
t3hfurious1, if you have a look at the 2nd part of 2nd video it pushes the framework-res.apk to the phone, is that what you meant?
[Android Themes] T3hFurious1:
Haha, woops, didn't notice it. Thanks for pointing it out.
[Android Themes] FormelLMS:
Hi,

big thanks for the Videos.

Now I have one problem:

The Text is white and quite good. But the clock isn't white. It's still black.

Could you please help me and say where my problem is?
[Android Themes] MFK DGAF:
could you do a video on how to do these changes if you wish to upload a zip to the public. also if you pull the apk from your phone does it physically take it out of your phone till you put it back in? Because what i'm thinking is that instead of pulling every .apk why not just download a stock 1.6 rom and use the files from there. i just dont know how to sign it/make the zip so that i can flash it on my phone.
[Android Themes] fxn:
Formel-LMS, There are two files to change, one of them will change text and the other changes the clock If I remember correctly, both files we're covered on the video however but it could be that some things have changed...I wouldn't know haven't done any of this stuff for months :(

MFK DGAF, No doing a pull on an APK doesn't remove it from your phone just takes a copy of it, the reason I pull the files from my own phone before making changes is because I use a custom rom and it could well be that the person cooking the rom (Cyanogen/JAC) have made a modification to that file or other files which would make the stock file incompatible with rest of the rom.

Toying with the idea of making another video, feeling lazy as hell though so dunno if that'll happen
[Android Themes] fxn:
3rd Video up, easy one mind you but hopefully will be putting another one up shortly =o)
[HD2 General] tsttse:
Hi

I just lost my unlock bar, that when I now press any of teh button i don't need the sliding unlock bar... I want it back but i don't know how i killed it....

THis is what I did...

- installed Torch Button

- installed Bsb Tweak

- ran torch

- ran bsb tweak to realize i need to .net CF 3.5

- installed .net CF 3.5

- ran bsb and made some tweaks (but don't see any pertaining to slide bar)

Slide bar now lost after a soft reset.

Any ideas?

Cheers!
[HD2 General] myth1001:
Go to BSB Tweaks and check if the Auto Lock option is on.
[HD2 General] tsttse:
apparently bsb turned off auto lock for me... sorry
[HD2 General] Archer:
Already solved it - slow post from me :)
[HD2 General] alwayslearning:
I had the same thing happen to me after I upgraded to the 1.48xxx ROM. bsb did not work for me. in fact it seems like when I install certain programs it disappears again. The way I got it back was to press start then lock the phone using the lower left soft key "lock" and then it was back and worked each time. But every now and then it disappears again, this is a bug :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] summeranson:
i flashed energyrom. its fast but my keyboard configuration all ran off..

i need a stock rom.. but i cant get it from htc web..

please provide me a stock rom..

thousands thanks in advance...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] wiper0s:
did you try keyboard changer?:)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NKTA:
Your first post, ... and it aint that good.

Have you searched the forum ? There are several stocks rom's posted around ...

By the way, in which language ? If not mistaken Energy is WWE (WorldWideEnglish), so you want which ? ... Update your profile.

****************

Thats one of the things that are missing in the support for >HTC Touch Pro ... one way of changing the physical keyboard layout, unfortunately most ROM's are using the WWE keyboard, which sucks.

But still, all the roms posted are great and are a result of sacrifice and effort of our cookers here in XDA, and i thank them for it.

****************
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] summeranson:
not good? what you mean? i dont understand..(not offending)

i need a english rom i guess.

anyway how to change keyboard changer?

fyi by config ran off i mean the full qwetry keyboard where you can press on the fn button and caps button and so on..

please advice..

thanks alot..
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NKTA:
It was a little humor, but nevermind.

Please u should read the wiki and check that there are several ROMs for several languages. If it is english, in that case any WWE will do.

By searching found this:

Think its what u are looking for.

Just like i said XDA EWiki rocks the world ! Thx Xda.

Just cruising xda.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, You got country ROM plus carrier ROM, in short, check your country + carrier to see if there is anything specific. If not just use one unbranded (no carrier, operator whatever is named).

If ya got time, check also this post: Perhaps u could also find something usefull here.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aznwongsta23:
Here the link to the stock rom:

http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=140&act=sd&cat=all

This is only for the verizon touch pro. Do not flash this rom if you have any other phone company. Flashing a different company rom will cause you to have a flash code error which is kinda annoying. HOPE THIS HELPS!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekeefe41:
So the blogger over at 'Android and me' has speculated that older devices will not receive the 2.0 update.

This guy has done this before, he also said 1.6 was too big for the G1 OS partition and of course we all know this was wrong.

I want to know what the dev's think, once all the bull**** is striped and the 2.0 source code is at stock for the G1. How large will it be? And how much room will be left over for downloading apps?

Thank you for your time.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vixsandlee:
Shouldnt be too much of an issue if you are running apsd.

They already have 2.0 running on G1's, i havent used it myself, but it is running, so I presume it fits.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekeefe41:
I know, I know... I had 2.0 running for a time and it was great. I used apsd and linux-swap. What i want to know is conclusive evidence that the guy over at Android and me is full of ****.

He always speculates that the G1 will not get updates and is usually wrong. What i am wondering is how large the stock 2.0 for the G1 will be. The Dev's may have an idea.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
the guy at androidand me is EXACTLY CORRECT.

What you are failing to see is the guys over there are writing for non-rooted phones. They have said in previous posts that this was a moot point for rooted phones and admitted they were already running the upgraded OS.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jubeh:
Both htc and t-mobile have officially stated that the dream is still getting the 2.0 upgrade. As somebody else said, the point is moot for rooted users because we can always port the newer code to our aging phones, but there's a hitch: the moment htc stops supporting the device, we're on our own.

I've yet to see somebody build the android code for the dream without help from the pre-configurations found in the aosp for dream, and now that the sapphire is officially the adp2, i smell the demise of the dream near.

The biggest enabler of the custom firmware movement was the fact that the dream was also the adp1, so there was a lot of interest on making building the platform easy. We just piggybacked on that.

Take one look at has been accomplished with the hero so far. I still remember the whole "let's make htc give us our hero kernel code" because all thought it would open the door for custom hero firmware. they couldnt have been more wrong. without htc's support, all they got was a fancy linux kernel that they had no idea what to do with, and also discovered how little the kernel had to do with android.

There's now a grand total of two aosp roms for the hero, and they're both so broken that they're really just novelties.

What I'm going at is that once htc drops the dream, people are going to realize knowing linux will only take you so far and you'll have to know android if you plan to get at least a botched android build working on the device.

So eventually, even being rooted will not be enough to ensure continued ability to run the best and latest, unless, ofcourse, we get real devs (again, I'm not claiming to be one myself) in here.

Oh, and.... a bigger android install wont mean less app space... learn to android...

The android system belongs in the 70 mb system partition and, on a factory, official build, doesnt spill into the /data partition where you install your apps. And if you do have root and a2sd, what do you care how big the system is, you can always make your ext bigger, so it should't be a worry for a rooted user.

Really... learn 2 android...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekeefe41:
You know that the guy at Android and Me has been wrong on this exact issue before right?

When 1.6 was still in the pipes he had a pie chart and everything explaining why it was physically impossible for 1.6 to fit on a G1 (non-rooted). Then 1.6 was pushed to everyone....

http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/t-mobile-g1-owners-dont-expect-any-future-android-updates/

^^
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
He was using his best guess at the time after speaking with t-mo, htc and the lead developer from google. He also assumed we would get a VERSION of OS 1.6. Everything he stated then seemed logical... don't fault the guy for not predicting the future man.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
What it all boils down to is this;

Whether a device will get an update or not has virtually NOTHING to do with the device specifications and/or storage space. There is LOTS of space available on the device, despite what some chicken little's speculate based on a moronic look at the "free space in /system" (which has VERY little meaning). What determines whether a device will get a particular update or not has everything to do with what the MANUFACTURER WANTS TO DO.

In other words, this is *all* in the hands of HTC. Even tmobile has hardly anything to do with this since tmobile themselves don't have the source for the proprietary binaries (which happens to be the stumbling block) -- although tmobile can say "not for ours" if they want, HTC can still build the binaries and/or system image for DREAM/ADP1. Fully in their hands and nobody else's.

Which leads to a couple of options for updates;

1) modify the current state of AOSP to remain compatible with existing HTC binaries,

2) reverse engineer HTC proprietary binaries so they're no longer needed.

I vote for #2. The replicant project seems to have this aim, but I don't know if they are still alive or if they died along with the open android alliance... http://trac.osuosl.org/trac/replicant/wiki
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
Hi,

Can someone please paste a definitive cab with TomTom for the HD2?

I believe this should not upset anyone - after all TomTom won't run without the separate maps which have to be purchased etc.

Collating information from the other threads here it would seem as though the latest version of TomTom would be the best one after all of the .dll's contained within are stripped out (correct?).

Look forward to <whoever> stepping up to the plate! :)
[HD2 General] Tomo1340:
I would also be interested in this. I do think tom tom might object though.
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
I'm sure you might be right.. however (and without wanting to take this thread off-topic).. I have a copy of TomTom Navigator sitting in my hallway - still shrink wrapped despite having paid £60-ish for it.. the reason being that I knew when I purchased it that it wouldn't install on my (then) Diamond, however I did manage to find a working cab on here and maps etc. A stupid situation - TomTom should supply working installation media for popular handsets - fact of the matter is though then don't. So in this situation I did what I thought was 'right'. If TomTom want to argue this with me then so be it..

just my opinion btw!

:)
[HD2 General] maati:
I could post a .cab, but first I need confirmation that this is allowed.

TomTom works great on my HD2.
[HD2 General] Karlos G:
I'd like this too!

Can always email me if you want.... karlxgosling@aol.com
[HD2 General] smartphone.net.pl:
You can use any VGA version - is working just fine.

There's many links on this forum - just use search :-)
[HD2 General] umiss:
Same prob here, I have the maps but the cab file i used couldnt find the maps which were located on the sd-card whilst the program was installed to the device. Also, the voiced didn't work.
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
You need to install the voices seperate to voices dir, and it wont find the maps unless its linked to your device, ahhem....

I have TomTom and Copilot, and i have to say Copilot kicks TomToms Ass.
[HD2 General] umiss:
And how is this linking done?
[HD2 General] Lei Chat:
Does the version you have work with TomTom Home?

If not, how can I get my existing maps to work with it?

I tried a cab discussed in another thread and manually copied over my maps but when I ran TomTom it prompts for activation which needs to be done via TomTom Home as they don't issue a product id to use with ttcode.com anymore. :(

I'm hoping it won't be long till TomTom officially supports the HD2 but would appreciate knowing how/what you have working.
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
My version works fine with the HD2 and even updates.

Hi all,

i've tomtom v7.915(9196) and french map v675.1409

All works nice on my HD2.

I just dont have landscape mode, but i know there is a mod to put the option in the tomtom soft.

I'll search for that.

I've got the cab, but you need to find a voice on internet.
[HD2 General] terrytpot:
that maps quite an antique...do a search for maps on ipmart and you'll find the very latest ones (v8.40) along with all the standard and premium voices you'll ever need...
[HD2 General] secable:
yep i know it's an old one, i'll search for new one, thx for the link :)
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
If you find the rotate option or cab let me know
[HD2 General] band27:
Latest maps are up to version 8.40
[HD2 General] marty41:
get bsb tweaks to add landscape to tomtom
[HD2 General] nadderf:
are there others then me, who has/had problem with tomtom can't find maps?
[HD2 General] sabes143:
You can use TT7 7.916.9189 Vga. Unable to attach

And after you installed the the cab then you need to rename or delete the following files from windows folder

BtcoreIf.dll

BtSDK30CE.dll

This will resolve the "Bluetooth radio cannot be swithced on" problem

Good luck

Why Don't You Go For CoPilot Live 8?

I have been using TomTom since v3 and have been paying full price for every new version. I have tried CoPilot Live trial that comes pre-installed and I have to say I am impressed. I would never go back to TomTom. Give it a try and judge :)
[HD2 General] omneity:
I agree, Co-Pilot is an excellent alternative to TomTom when just compared together as GPS solutions, but when you consider the relative purchase price of each it's a no brainer.

As for using warez copies of sat nav software, that does seem a bit risky, afterall they really DO know where you are!

[HD2 General] yeancheant:
I'm having a problem in the sense that the camera seems to only take octure after the flash turns off. this is when the flash is set to auto mode. as a result my picture looks darker with the flash on then without. anyone with this problem as well or any ideas what to do
[HD2 General] karambolek:
I noticed same thing. Looks weird for me too. No idea how to fix it. The problem not always exist - photos are ok when I shot in total darkness with flash. If i take photo with some light then it looks like after flash turns off.

Anyone else noticed that?
[HD2 General] maati:
No, this is normal. It reduces the exposure time when flash is on, so that pictures do not get overexposed. Every camera does that.

As a result, you may get darker pictures with flash than without, if you use the flash at times where it's not needed. Just turn the flash off then.
[HD2 General] DMAND:
I noticed this too, as in the flash fire and the camera shoots but the image from the preview that remains on screen for a sec if for example you press delete, looks better than the actual photo.

It's like the camera needs to capture the image a few milliseconds quicker or something.
[HD2 General] maati:
No no no. You all got it COMPLETELY wrong. I already gave you the explanation above.

It takes the picture exactly at the same time that the flash turns on. It does NOT shoot too late.

It just reduces the exposure so that the pictures don't get overexposed. ALL cameras do this!

Sometimes, however, it uses the flash when it should not. These are the times when pictures would turn out better with the flash than without because the flash cannot compensate the reduced exposure time. Just turn off the flash and everything is okay.

This happens with every camera that uses auto flash, but it happens particularly often with mobile phones that have an LED flash. This is more or less normal and you can't do anything about it, except for turning the flash off manually.
