[Android Themes] overground:
GDE should take wallpapers with normal handheld screen dimensions (640X480), and re-size for Droid. When developing any theme for GDE, please consider that the theme also must reside in the same app space as GDE which has Android normal runtime limitations of 16mb. Brief spikes above that limit before and during garbage collecting are allowed before the whole app throws a fc. Here is an excerpt from a recent conversation between myself and the GDE dev regarding a theme:

Rob: most drawables around 15kb instead of 1 or 2 kb
some are the original... menu_row 127 bytes
menu_row_selected (modified) 8.1kb
around 80 the size it was
toolbar buttons all around 15kb

me: are you talking about the theme?

Rob: yes

me: so should I ask him to somehow reduce the drawable sizes?

Sent at 1:46 PM on Tuesday

Rob: if you could... and also the wallpaper...
original android wallpapers are between 30~50kb
his are around 120~160kb... almost 4x

me: k

Rob: way too large...
just counting and you will loose around at minimum 400~500kb using this theme
if not more

Sent at 1:48 PM on Tuesday

Rob: 129kb of complete pngs etc of GDE against
350kb of only the wallpaper drawables of this theme
almost 3x

Rob: wallpaper seems to be the biggest issue
its also not using normal handheld screen dimensions (640X480)

This theme dev thankfully fixed it within hours. I don't know if this answers any of your questions, but it's good info to keep in mind when making a theme for any app. Also, before the theme mentioned above wallpaper's were re-sized to correct dimensions, GDE wallpaper changer would oftentimes fc when scrolling through available choices. This stopped after theme complied with guidelines.

search for the droid rom dump in Dream android development and look at the images .here are some of the image sizes wallpaper is 960x854 tray handle is 480x84 and focused application and pressed background are 115x96 some of the images gde has in it but i don't know if the droid resolution is supported. you would need to post on the gde thread.i don't think you would need to resize the 9.pngs.

Errors with DMP2PKG

[Resloved]When I want select folder on DMP2PKG, i have an errors message, " Impossible de charger le fichier ou l'assembly 'PkgCommon'

Edit: Hi, after several hours of searching I finally not find the answer to my problem. However, after compiling file Flash(_new).Bin. I flashed my Acer and it remains blocked at 98.4%, had you ever had this problem and if so, could you help me?
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] arkon-n:
Flash 99%

Hi, when I used any non-official Roms I can't passe the programming FLASH sequence. The soft stop downloaded at 98% or 99%, but I dont know why?
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] chris9999:
Does anybody knows how to use this Kitchen?
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] :
I know how but, its not very user friendly and you really need to have ext realloc knowledge and xip, i might release a cooking guide but i dont know yet, some russian guys are working on a visual kitchen for the acer s200 so lets see what comes first.
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] netnerd:
i tried it, it always give me errors. so i give up! haha

rafyvitto, please release a cooking guide, or fix this current kitchen, i always getting errors! haha

i really love to try the newest/latest build, current build 28014 ?
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] chris9999:
Thanx Rafyvitto!

So it means that you cook and build your own Roms with this Kitchen, right?

I assume that you extract the latest HTC HD2 Custom-Roms and then you try whether they are working on an Acer S200 or not, if I´m not mistaken cause many HD2 modifications, like transparent Clock, 1 percent HTC Battery bar or Max Manila 2.5 etc. are also working on my Acer. (Logically it´s simply the HD2 Manilla 2.5 version...)

Yeah Please release a guide when you have some time left. I would also like to build my own custom-Roms...

Can you upload your beta v0.3 Rom?
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] :
Yes i dumped the 1.43 leo rom and used all the necessary packages from OEM to make manila 2.5 work on our acer s200, i cant upload my rom yet its still in beta stages only my beta testers can use it at this moment, but il release it by the end of december maybe.
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] chris9999:
OK!!! I got it...
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] FloatingFatMan:
A little off topic I know, but does anyone know of a working kitchen for Acer's beTouch E200 device?
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] :
Ask hdubli i think he has one, idk if hes planing on releasing it tho, but you can ask him =]
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] hdubli:
E200 i have the decompiler and recompiler, tested a vanilla rom already, but as of now there is no way to flash rom from sd or from boot loader.. so am waiting for that
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] FloatingFatMan:
I have the compiler & decompiler too. Fired you a PM. ;)
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] :
Heres my xip porting guide its a bit ruff i havent fine tune it yet but it should get you going:

1.After dumping both xip.bin and "make pkgs"

2.Go to 28XXX out/files & out/modules and copy msxipkernel folders to out /files and out/modules of xipport root, delete first the msxipkernel folders from out/files and out/modules them do the same for xipport/out/files/modules

3.Then go to xipport root open xipport.exe and click undo

4.Go back to xipport/out/files you should be able to see a lot of files

5.Do the same for xipport/out/modules you should also see a lot of files.

6.Then look for kd.dll, osaxt1.dll also there .txt files and deleted them.

7.Now go to the root of the kitchen folder and execute Build ROM_p_6.5_osnbt, let it finish.

8.When it finishes close is, then extended reloc will aperar,the hit open romhdr+vm+rom then after that is done hit open xipport.

9.Now hit realloc V (dll)

10. In xip port hit realloc P, close all the error prompts

11. hit write maps in xipport.exe

12.Select realloc nk.exe option in extended reloc
selsect again realloc P(again close all error promts) in xipport.exe

13.drag the vertical left lineall all the way to the left, then select relloc imgfs modules.

14.After that finishes a map.txt will show up, scroll to the buttom of it, and check

16.close ext relloc

17. on xipport hit build xip_out.bin and close it

18 G o to xiport folder and copy paste the xip_out.bin to the root of your kitchen

19. Now go to the cmd and hit any key until it statrs building the rom

20. After that is done it will as for a yes or no option type N and hit enter, then another press any key prompt will show up..press any key let it finish, after that is done yet another press any key prompt will show..hit any key...your done.

21.go to temp folder in the root of your kitchen and take out flash_new.bin place it in your preffered flashing tools and rename it to flash.bin and then flash your device.

This guide was made by me of instructions by hdubli do not distribute as your own, do not post on other forums without my consent, thank you for respecting my requests.

Sincerly rafyvitto

i'm really new to this. i just downloaded "23518 Rollup - All Packages (~200MB)" from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544445.

now that i got this big rar file. what do i do now? (i planning to donate if i able to cook my 1st rom! :)
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] eddiexda:
hi hdubli, hope you are well.

i remember seeing that you used to work on some wm 6.5 roms for the m900.

now that you have released a kitchen for the F1, do you think you could work on a new wm 6.5 rom based on the acer 204 builds please?

it would be great if you could, i know you must be busy but if you can please do :)
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] TiJay:
Thanks a lot! Just bought device and want to try kitchen, and also have some questions ))

In step 20 you say that user should type N? but in video it is Y desition - what is right?

Also I want to ask: what parts of rom are flashed while using ACER_EUU.exe? Is it flashing bootloader or not? Is there any way to flash only flash.bin?
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] TiJay:
And one more question: do you need to port xip every time you cook your rom or one time for every build would be enough?
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] TiJay:
looks like this thread is dead )
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] :
Yes you have to extreloc/xipport every time you make any change to the rom, and this thread is not dead its ust that cooking for the acer s200 is not as easy as using a visual/envirius kitchen, you need to read about cooking using old style kitchen cooking.
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] TiJay:
I used to use old style kitchen - it's good for me :)

Could you please explain why do you need to xipport every time? Using EXTreloc every time you trying to make imgfs is obvious, but why do you need to reallocate xip modules?
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] hdubli:
some kind of.net error or missing dll
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] Stefano_1986_:
I have found the solution.

The problem is this dll:

TOOLS\pkgcommon.dll (version 5.2.0.0)

I have deleted this file and I replaced it with this dll:

XIPPORT\pkgcommon.dll (version 5.1.0.0)

Now the program is it ok! :D

I am using eastern european 1.48 rom for my hd2 and locale settings is set to Polish (where I use the phone). after the reboot I cannot set to 24 hours clock and this thick box is grey out. WTF?

Any ideas or reg key to change it from 12 to 24hrs time?

Change region first to england, then change the clock to 24 mode and then change region to poland. worked for me with 1.48

[HD2 General] DicEvsTytnII:
Settings tab in SenseUI; go to the 'Menu' (right softkey): All Settings

in the start menu, select the 'System' icon

Then Regional Settings and adjust your clock on the 'Time' tab by setting the 'h' to 'H'

that did it for me

Just wanna ask is anyone experiencing the same thing with 24h format. When the clock should turn to 00:00 it just turns to 0:00 is it possible to change it ?

[HD2 General] richardirv:
I just noticed today that all my Facebook albums have stopped working. I just get a circle with a diagonal line through it instead of a thumbnail. I have tried logging out using data.services and I have soft reset a few times. don't really want to hard reset yet. it was defiantly working when I first got my HD2.

Anyone had this problem?
[HD2 General] tnyynt:
Never worked for me either on 1.43 nor 1.48 ROMs.
[HD2 General] TML1504:
same problem here!

but worked for me the first few days i had my hd2 (with stockrom 1.43 GER)!
[HD2 General] Torben-h:
I had the same problem. I found out, that it was caused by a tweak i installed. It was theTouch X LEO turbo.cab when I uninstalled it. the Facebook albums worked again.
[HD2 General] loomx:
Ah, wish I read that early, i just did a hard reset to make it work again lol.

Although saying that, I think alot of the "tweaks" had a negative effect on the phone, now I have my programs re-installed but non of the tweaks, it feels much faster!
[HD2 General] richardirv:
I haven't installed that cab so I can't explain why mine has stopped working!
[HD2 General] mike91t:
I have found that using the performance Cache tweaks on BSB Tweaks causes this same issue. Of course turning the sliders off and doing a soft reset fixed the problem for me.
[HD2 General] loomx:
Seriously, I recommend just hard reseting and not bothering with half of the tweaks, its seems that most of them have caused bugs and caused the device to slow down for me.

Now its hard reseted, its fast and perfect again.
[HD2 General] tsttse:
o wow you guys are right... my facebook album wasn't working.. i uninstalled the LEO turbo cab and all is well again! cheesr
[HD2 General] ClownShoes:
The specific tweak that causes this problem is setting file cache to high. Avoid this and you are golden. :)
[HD2 General] tnyynt:
Not to question your statement but I don't quite see a relation between the two.
[HD2 General] ClownShoes:
Not really sure why! I guess it may have something to do with the native size of the images sense is trying to load into memory? Why having a higher file cache would be worse in this scenario I don't know.

Edit: Just noticed that Makeveral has removed the file cache tweak from his latest release of BSB tweaks 1.3
[HD2 General] richardirv:
Sweet, turned off performance tweeks and now ok. Cheers
[HD2 General] Jackuuuuu:
Hi fellow HD2 users.

Sorry kinda OT: Anyone have problems with uploading photos with Microsoft Facebook? My is random, doesn't always work and annoying!!! It uploaded my data, but nothing shows up in my Facebook (Mobile Upload folder)! Waste of my data too!!! :(
[HD2 General] DMAND:
i recently installed Bsb tweaks and found the same thing too, that facebook album stoped working.

Jackuuuuu, I wouldnt bother with the MS app for uploading photos as the HTC album seems to do a fine job, although it would be nice if you could comment on pics from there.
[HD2 General] ijob:
Is anyone else experiencing this when attempting to reply to a sms message.

The message 'Tap to compose your text' appears but it wont let me 'tap'. I have to wait for about 10 seconds before tapping the screen actually allows me to compose a reply.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Yes, I have delays in the text messaging app. It is very laggy. I can be typing and press a key 3 or 4 times before it registers.
[HD2 General] ijob:
Cheers, I've just figured it out, the issue only happens when I have lots of messages to load in a conversation. It doesn't occur when its a short conversation with one or two messages in.
[HD2 General] marty41:
i think its a known bug keep your conversation list down by backing up on myphone is a suggestion i read somewhere, then you can delete on your phone without losing them completely

hope thats helpful
[HD2 General] onisuk:
yes its all do do with the amount of messages in the "thread" but even if i've got say 100 messages in a convo ....whys it lag so much ??? its only loading kilobytes of info... and for the spec of the phone i find this poor coding very annoying !!!!!!!!!!!!
[HD2 General] erosennin:
if you look bottom right of the screen (just right of the paper clip) you'll see a thin grey line decreasing . When that's finished you can tap and type. And yes the more sms you have the more the delay.
[HD2 General] Torben-h:
I have the sams problem. I have over 500 texts under some contacts. and It's a big waiting game to answer a text.

I dont understand why HTC have choosen to load ALL texts. the last 20 would have been enough.

In the new ROM 1.48 the problem is the same.

I must say HTC developers are under qualified. END.

[HD2 General] Stormenet:
Oh man, that sucks :mad: was hoping it would be fixed there :(

I'm actually beginning to get a little dissapointed by the official rom :(

I love tweaking stuff etc... but having problems with something every other phone handles perfectly like SMS is ridiculous.
[HD2 General] polystirenman:
you are rigt.100% right mate.i am so pissed off about this.
[HD2 General] nicelad_uk:
Has anyone actually fed this into HTC to make them aware of the issue so they know it is everyone who is complaining and not just a select few?
[HD2 General] Stormenet:
Well, I've actually reported this today, as I am sick of it :mad:

I wonder if HTC uses their own phones they make...
[HD2 General] kensong:
I think they made it for people like me who delete every sms at the end of the day. Don't get mad, just a joke but that's really what I do unless I need to keep it for reference in which case I copy it to an alarmed note.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
It's a rather strange issue. I have several lengthy conversations (not 500 messages long, of course, but with dozens of them), and all but one load instantly and the keyboard pops up also instantly. One of them is incredibly laggy, although it's like 10 messages long. The only difference I see is that the other person has a contact picture attached and she is my wife. :)
[HD2 General] lancelot54:
Perhaps is there a way (cab, setting, ...) to makes auto-delete messages after a certain limit (for example, delete messages when there's more than 50...) ? Already looked in settings, but didn't found that..
[HD2 General] MeowMeowMan:
Here are work-arounds for the SMS lag problem...

Option 1:

when the SMS conversation is building (the gray bar is shrinking), just click the SEND button. It will prompt "This message is blank...", then click No, and it will go back to the SMS conversation -- but this time, there is no lag and you can start typing after pressing the "Tap here to compose text"

Option 2:

if there is one or two persons that you exchange lots of SMS with, put them as a Quick Link (to SMS) on the front page. That way, when you press the Quick Link, it starts a direct SMS composition without dialogue, and thus no lag.

Can't wait till HTC properly fix this!

Enjoy!

[HD2 General] Stormenet:
Option 1 doesn't works here, the second does :)
[HD2 General] mox123:

I wanted to ask, if there is an Android version that is running without haret.exe. Cause Android is flying and since the WiFi works it really kicks ass. And it will be even faster without having WM running in the background. Isn't it possible to like extract the Bootloader from the Hero or G1?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] asticinzano:
It would be nice of you to stick to the other Android threads. (http://gprime.net/flash.php/postingandyou)

The developers stated they prefer to concentrate on a near feature complete build with squashfs as it is. Only if that works (progress in the recent time has been really good) a more permanent solution will be investigated.
[HD2 General] Nooky:
Hi all,

I am having the following problem with my HD2:

I use it to sync with my Exchange 2007 server (push mail, syncing when receiving new mail). The device enables an auto-screen lock then. Therefore it locks after max 5 minutes and I have to slide to unlock each time.

This is very unhandy especially when using TomTom. When navigating with TomTom (or CoPilot) it goes into screen lock every 5 minutes too and you cannot see the map anymore. The strange thing is that Sygic MobileMaps doesn't seem to have problems with it. When using Sygic screen lock doesn't appear.

I tried disabling it with the use of the tip (/.cab) in the tips/tweaks sticky but that didn't help. Seems to be a different sort of lock although it is the same way of locking/unlocking

Does anybody have the same problem when syncing with Exchange 2007? I didn't have this problem with Exchange 2003.

I would like to disable the lock totally. Any other workaround would be great too of course...

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 General] Nooky:
Found it!

Hi,

Found it!

In the registry:

HKLM\Security\Policies\00001023: 0 = Enabled; 1 = Disabled
[HD2 General] Studebaker72:
Yeah, that sucks...

Hello Nooky!

Well, that work-around does help you just until MS-Exchange enforces the security policy again. Have the same problem though, so far no luck.

There is some really smart Dude who created a Exchange Policy Patch to avoid that phenomenon, but also that does not survive the next enforced security policy before syncing the MS-Exchange account. But if you want give it a shot:

http://khason.net/blog/how-to-disable-exchange-security-policy-for-windows-mobile-devices/

Greetings, Studebaker
[HD2 General] Nooky:
Mmm, thx for the tip...

Can I change something on my Exchange Server to disable it?
