I think they are supposed to announce an android phone at the Mobile World Conference next month, but I don't know if they will have a seperate app available.

http://gizmodo.com/5453577/android-nuvifone-from-garmin+asus-to-be-revealed-next-month-possibly-winmo-handsets-too

I don't know of any existing android apps that can read garmin map files.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
With this theme.

Thing is, it's for the GSM hero. I have no idea on how to port it over, or even where to begin.

So my request is either someone port it over for me, or write up a detailed explanation of how to port a theme.

There may be a small donation (~$5) for whoever completes this.

EDIT: Should probably specify, Fresh 1.1 with MCK 1.2
[Hero CDMA General] Tipharet:
Yeah **** no doubt. +1
[Hero CDMA General] theresthatguy:
5 you say?
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Somewhere around there.
[Hero CDMA General] coldsweat:
Hook it up! Looks great....I've always loved the Gant icon set, had it on my Nokias for years...
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Umm, Buuf is for CM4.2, which runs on Android 1.6. It would be a hell of a lot easier to port to the AOSP 1.6 build...
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Yet I run 1.5. Shame.

I figured if I threw in a $5 donation, someone'd do it.
[Hero CDMA General] magicalan:
wow you bearly saw it ? thats old i like it but i never got metamorph to work haha >.> <.<
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
I bearly saw it?

Saw what?
[Hero CDMA General] theresthatguy:
yeah no joke. I started on this and gave up after like 10 mins.
[Hero CDMA General] magicalan:
the theme :P
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
been looking all day.
[Hero CDMA General] crunchybutternut:
I am working on porting it over. Thread.
[HD2 General] kronas360:
i feel very let down by this phone, it has alot of potential but is bogged down by stupid bugs what is the best rom to load for improvements to speed bug fix and speeding things up ?

:p
[HD2 General] vijay555:
What roms have you tried and what problems have you found?

I'm using Artemis' 2.8 rom, which seems adequate, but I understand a 2.9 is imminent.

I would probably wait a few days for everyone to incorporate the new extra memory hacks before jumping in right now.

[HD2 General] bluearmyb:
Have you updated to the official htc 1.66 rom, it fix alot of bugs for me
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
read up on hspl, which will let you flash any rom. I'm on o2 and currently running sone 1.31 rom and it's sweet as a nut.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=606712

it's also a higher version of windows(start button at the bottom, thumb friendly) and manilla is fully landscape enabled.

read about hspl and various introductions and how to's here

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534&order=desc
[HD2 General] kronas360:
thanks im a newbie to all of this!

not tried any roms

will look in to your link thanks

its the usual out of memory on intensive websites sluggish loading of websites, slow loading of messages inbox folder, things like that

nope, the o2 variant gets rejected by the htc website as not being available for it
[HD2 General] terrytpot:
This puppy likes the sound of that...following your advice and guidance I succesfully carried out my first flash yesterday to 1.66 although I dont think I'm getting the full benefit of it yet as my spb backup has restored the gluttony of tweaks/mods I did prior to flashing :o some of which may have been a tad injudicious :D (if it's free I'm having it lol..) thanx again for the pointers sam...
[HD2 General] terrytpot:
Yup,had the same problem myself and even went so far as to ask O2 and HTC for their thoughts on this...here's O2's response re:using HTC updates and warranty:

I'm sorry to know that your mobile phone has a fault.

Terry, HTC is one of our partner mobile phone provider. So, updating

your mobile phone software by downloading from HTC will not void your

warranty.

All we want is that your mobile phone should work perfectly.

Whereas HTC said this about not being able to download a ROM:

Dear Sir,

Even if you unlock your PDA from your network, the software installed is still locked to O2 thats the reason why you can not download the ROM in our web site. The ROM in www.htc.com are only suitable for HTC branded devices.

Best Regards,

HTC

to which the elegant solution is to make a FULL backup (use spb backup or something similar) download HSPL,unzip,sync phone and run the exe...(make sure you check you do have SPL 1.42.0000 on your phone before doing this)...thats step 1 link for this is:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611433 where you'll find that explained again but in more detail...

step 2 is to grab the rom of your choice from xdev...no need to go pestering HTC and getting blown out as you're not using an unbranded phone...if you grab an official HTC rom and flash it via sd card you'll remove the HSPL but if you do it via pc HSPL stays in there for flashing future ROM's...(just make sure you remove it if you ever have to send it back on a warranty claim by doing a card flash;))

step 3 is to enjoy you're newly flashed ROM :D (I'm typing this on my laptop which is connected to my phones newly activated wifi router...yahboo sucks to you O2)
[HD2 General] majikdragoon:
I was in the same situation - on O2 and unable to download the official ROM updates from the HTC Support site. I very nearly returned the phone, packing it back nice an neatly in it's box and putting my sim back into my 3GS... but I'm glad I didn't.

I decided to keep it anyway because it was a free upgrade and flash to HSPL - then install an up-to-date official ROM. I flashed from 1.43 to WWE 1.48 and things got better, but weren't perfect. Then the other day when the WWE version of 1.66 hit I flashed to that and am loving it. There's no lag on wake-up, no slowdown in messages or emails etc. It's virtually perfect.

I recommend going HERE to get HSPL (and follow the instructions to the letter) - then HERE to get the WWE version of 1.66 (1.66.405.2) - then as directed by the instructions in the Flashing Your First GSM LEO ROM thread - do a hard reset to make sure nothing was left over from 1.43.

Then you're have a much faster, far less buggy phone, and can always fall back on HSPL if anything ever goes wrong. You won't need to install the hotfix's from the HTC Support site because they're included in the ROM.

If you then install a taskbar mod (like say the awesome Touch X battery % cab) you'll lose the volume icon in the taskbar. The easiest way to fix it is to grab a registry editor and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay

...and delete (press and hold for options) these two entry's...

"LoadIconFromResDLL"=-

"SoundIconLink"=-

...then reboot and it'll be back.

I can also recommend:

Touch X Taskmanager

Touch X Screen Responsiveness Less Sesitive

Touch X Reset and WiFi

Touch X Start Menu Transparent

...and some of the visual modifications available in the Sense 2.5 Tweaks % Mods thread HERE

I'd also check out HDWALL (although again, follow the instructions to the letter) to get rid of the ugly black bars top and bottom, apply your backgroud on every page in Sense, and make the background you apply to your homescreen as sharp as it is when viewing it in the photo gallery, or on your lockscreen.

I love my HD2...
[Nexus One General] mcp2009:

[Omnia II General] real_life:
Hi there

I've seen the works from XDA on getting android working on some HTC...

and i have too say... Lucky bastards!! :D

Is there hope to see it working on Omnia i8000... and next on the B7610 ?

Maybe some changes in the drivers could do the job :)
[Omnia II General] chelsea_fc:
also looking for android to work on i8000
[Omnia II General] junalmeida:
I guess that it's a huge new project, 'cause Omnia II have a totally different processor (Samsung S3C6410) and all other devices XDANDROID supports have Qualcomm MSM chips.
[Omnia II General] thaithug:
I wanna try Android on O2... the reason is that the speed is said to be much better than WM. Yet, I'd to keep my WM OS on when I play games coz I still like my WM games.
[Omnia II General] Shiryu:
Maybe there is a little chance for Android for i8000 :)

Look at this link. This device seems to have hardware (especially CPU) similar to our Omnias :)
[Omnia II General] Rul3s:
Yeah, it seems to be most of the some hardware, there's a change to see it working.
[Omnia II General] Ajacied410:
good news

It looks almost the same like a i8000.

I hope samsung isn't going to put a lot of there junk software in this device so we can pick the rom of this device and put it on our device ;)
[Omnia II General] auipga:
also looking for android on samsung b7610. every startup.txt fails on loading the kernel...
[Omnia II General] auipga:
i just found a tutorial how to compile a kernel. the tutorial is for i900 but may work by loading other cpu driver or whatever

well over @ modaca, i today dl'ed almar's android,for i800,

[G1 Android Development] ultra spikey:
First, sorry if this is in the wrong section...

...the only stock Live Wallpaper I like is the Nexus, the only thing I hate about it is that it significant lags my G1. So I dug into the LiveWallpapers.apk and made a change so that there are fewer "cells" that fly across the screen. My theory, less "cells" = less processing. Swiping through home screens is a little smoother, and so is opening/closing the app drawer.

What I need help with, is, is it possible to disable the wallpaper following your home screen when you swipe across it? The cells tend to lag when swiping, and for this particular Live Wallpaper, I don't think it's necessary for the wallpaper to follow your swipes.

Here is my .apk. Rename to LiveWallpapers.apk then push to your phone. I pushed it to /data/app_s. It might be different on other ROMs though.(I also zipaligned it, not sure if that will help much either).

v0.3

http://www.mediafire.com/file/hyzwid2rmio/LiveWallpapers-v0.3.apk

Changelog:

- v0.1 -

- Reduced amount of cells in "Nexus" LWP.

- v.0.2

- Reduced the amount of cells even more "Nexus" LWP.

- Cut the length of cell trails in half "Nexus" LWP.

- Increased delay between a cell going offscreen and restarting "Nexus" LWP.

- v.0.3

- Bumped up the amount of cells a tad in the "Nexus" LWP.

- Optimized resolution to better fit screen in Grass LWP.

- Resized wallpaper for "Water" LWP from 1024x1024 to 640x480

- Made the leaves a tad smaller in the "Water" LWP.

- Reduced the amount of leaves on the screen in the "Water" LWP.
[G1 Android Development] oreoOozZz:
Which dir do you push it to? Ill be the guinea pig because thats the only thing i hate about my WG OpenEclair 2.1 Beta right now. Other then that, everything is gravy but as soon as you put the Nexus live wallpaper on and try to touch the screen or complete any task, it lags miserably.
[G1 Android Development] xaisomboun:
just pushed it and it really does run smoother. i really dont mind the missing cells moving around. thanks
[G1 Android Development] xaisomboun:
data/app_s
[G1 Android Development] tee aiy emm:
I guess it's a little better. Maybe even less cells moving around would be okay.
[G1 Android Development] oreoOozZz:
Thanks.

x2.
[G1 Android Development] ultra spikey:
Done, try it out.
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
I see that other people are getting it pushed just fine. But I am noticing that when I tried to push it it's like it uninstalled all of the live wallpapers and didn't replace any. Any guidance?
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
care to post screen shots?
[G1 Android Development] ultra spikey:
It doesnt actually replace any wallpapers. It's just a small tweak the reduces the amount of, lets say, action on the screen. The cells I'm referring to are the colored squares that fly across the screen in the Nexus Live Wallpaper.
[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:
How to Push?

ummm yeah how do you push onto g1 again?
[G1 Android Development] ryan75:
Hey Spikey,

I'm away from my pc, but shouldn't I be able to use Root Explorer, mount /data/app_s as RW and copy/replace LiveWallpaper.apk with your updated one?

I'll probably do a nand backup and give it a go for the heck of it.
[G1 Android Development] QTeknology:
just playing with it:

:)
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
May I ask which LWP is that cause I never seen that one.

Edit: I see it now, thought it looked different though.This and galaxy have less action than the other ones.
[G1 Android Development] ryan75:
If anyone cares, I was successfully able to mount my /system/app directory as RW with Root Explorer and copy Spikey's LiveWallpapers.apk in. It's working fine and I think it does cut down quite a bit of lag. Thanks Spikey.

I've never seen a moon before...does it randomly appear?
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
The time of day may be the reason for the moon but its 11pm here and I dont see it yet.
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
There's no artwork for a moon, he added that. Looks nice.

I'll look at the code and see if there's a way to make the nexus paper (actually, all of them) static.
[G1 Android Development] QTeknology:
I started to modify livewallpapers.apk

Resize a 512x1024px night.jpg in a fastest 320x480px (g1/g2 size)

then I edited the script grass.rs

at the last I simply added a full moon as background with photoshop cs4.

my apk is 200kb less now =)
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
I know :( I got lazy when I worked on those live wallpapers and just left the artwork that size.

I think the artwork actually has to be tall (width at 320 is fine) because it scrolls through the png as the day goes by, it gets gradually darker.

The only one I did any work on was the nexus one to get the "cells" to align correctly to the pyramids. Then I did a revision to fix a problem where the touch registered at the wrong spot, and that was the extent of my work there.

I hope we can figure out a way to get those to run fast.
[G1 Android Development] QTeknology:
A little OT

talking about resize, I resized the nexus bootanimation to a 320H px

It's 1mb less now =)

[G1 Android Development] zarelli:
i'm using cyano 5.0.7 stable, I've pushed Livewallpaers.apk but when i set wallpapers in menu it crashed why??
[G1 Android Development] moskuito:
I was actually trying to do the same, but neither this or the qtek optimized lwps are working... Strange, I remember that with the very first eclir roms (e.g. OpenEclair) they were working really really good...

Any idea on how to fix this ? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] peenieman:
I too have the same problem, I tried to push LWs.apk from jubeh's eclair but doesn't work.
[G1 Android Development] mittolo:
same problem in the cyano 5.0.7 G1

also the free version of nexusmod in the market don't work, i'd like to try the non free version, but i don't have a credit card...
[G1 Android Development] shekki:
So how do I move files from my SD card and onto my phone? Unless I was supposed to put them on my phone some other way.
[G1 Android Development] blackjackboy:
I have a logcat to back that one up:

http://pastebin.com/nKZ6AzxF
[G1 Android Development] DumbButt:
I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to know if anyone got these live wallpapers to work with cyanogenmod yet. i've tried pushing the apk to 5.0.8 and 6 RC3, both pushed fine but unable to load.

Or if anyone know where I can get these livewallpapers for CM, that would be awesome. I want these so damm bad. XP

Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] el_plebillo:
so, what is the command to push it?
[G1 Android Development] jairomeo:
It actually did the same thing to me, it seemed to remove my Live Wallpapers
[G1 Android Development] moskuito:
Same thing happened to me.. :mad:

Just did this :

adb push LiveWallpapers.apk data/app/LiveWallpapers.apk

Just pushed back the previous apk, so I'm fine for the moment... but I'd really like to see the performance of the revised nexus here...

Any idea?
[G1 Android Development] QTeknology:
I pushed them straightly in /system/app/

try this:

adb remount
adb push livewallpapers.apk /system/app/
[G1 Android Development] moskuito:
Yes! That worked! Grazie ;)
[G1 Android Development] ultra spikey:
Cool thanks...I think the LiveWallpapers would run a whole lot smoother if they were static.

I uploaded another little update.
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
I've tried doing the console way

mount /system
Mount /sdcard
Cp /sdcard/LiveWappers.apk /system/app

Still nothing. I have also used Root Explorer to copy and paste it to /system/app.
[G1 Android Development] akapoor:
You have to make your /system directory writeable:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/<file>.apk /system/app
[G1 Android Development] ultra spikey:
For the people that are having trouble pushing this to their phone, download DroidExplorer for your PC(it's in the applications subforum). With this software, you can just navigate to the app directory, delete the old .apk, then copy and paste the new .apk.
[G1 Android Development] markolo25:
later on when we do get hardware acceleration this may unnecessary but nice work i dont even notice the missing cells:)
[G1 Android Development] ultra spikey:
True, but Live Wallpapers is really the only thing keeping me on 2.1 right now. If I can get them to perform a little better, that just might keep me from going back to 1.6.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
And if that doesn't work, a simple

mount-a
cp /sdcard/<name>.apk /system/app

Will
[G1 Android Development] mssmison:
Here guys, something I'll share with you.

I've optimized all of the google live wallpapers to run better on pixelflinger, including sizing grass to the proper size.

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=f6ec00ed7ed721a8d0d290dca69ceb5c1887c84cd5704e64d6f20ee4ff677d52
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Google wallpaper, meaning traditional stock "jpg" wallpapers no longer work w/ this??
[G1 Android Development] mssmison:
no. Meaning after we got egl working with kernel updates these wouldn't work. But they'll work for you.

There, I updated the post :)

I better take that out of the post so others don't get confused.
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Cool, great work!!
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
They work really well, only thing I don't like is the water wallpaper, the leaves look kind of squished. However, it is way faster and I plan on keeping them.
[G1 Android Development] ultra spikey:
Thanks...the Grass LWP is a lot smoother now. There is one thing I noticed with the Nexus LWP, pyramid_background.png is the wrong resolution. It should be 640x480.
[G1 Android Development] mssmison:
Glad you guys like them. :)

[G1 Android Development] chevycowboyusa:
well, apparently you dont need to specify the file name in the <cp to> folder.....

did this change recently?? or have I been doing things the hard way for the last year??
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Capitals matter
[G1 Android Development] chevycowboyusa:

I edited my last post..... XD

ps... the mount -a didnt work...
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
In recovery console?
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Ok, so I'm for some reason having a hell of a time doing this. You got three files, how do I get them installed? I feel like such a tool...lol
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Push them to the directory they are in. On openeclair it is /system/sd/app (or data/app, whichever you prefer). All others it is /system/app
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Ok, I guess it's /system/app since I'm on Manup's Eclair. Any renaming needed?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Nope, they should be fine
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Great, so now after I had installed DroidExplorer earlier, my PC won't find my phone in ADB...when earlier today it was working just fine. I wonder if it reverted me to an earlier driver. Damn.

edit: That's what it was apparently. I had to update to the latest USB driver and copy the updated .dll and adb.exe files to System32. Wow.
[G1 Android Development] sicksand:
i got a FC after selecting the lwp? any ideas

i push it to /system/app. on LiveWallpapers.apk it appears on the settings, but livewallpapers.apk, not showing in the settings
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Wow...am I having crappy luck today. After pushing the files to system/app, I rebooted the phone and now it's stuck on the boot animation. Geez...I should have just left this alone.
[G1 Android Development] phonetec:
can you post your apk?
[G1 Android Development] moskuito:
uhm...not quite like that.. on OpenEclair it must be pushed to /system/app

At least that's the only path that worked out for me..

It is true there's a livewallpaper.apk also on data/app , but the replacement seems not to be working.. (that's why a lot of people in the early posts were experiencing lwps dissapearing problems...)

[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:
Ohhh ok I see now because when I tried pushing it the one he said, I saw no differences in my LiveWallpapers.
[G1 Android Development] moskuito:
Hey, just pushed it in... works great and looks better ! Expecially the nexus one is amazing !!

Qtek, how come anything you touch turns into gold !?!?! :D:D
[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:
lol ikr.

it would be cool if he made a program that lets you fix up the LiveWallpapers yourself with specific tools designated to different types of wallpapers. that would be killer.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Well for me, I tried pushing it to /system/app and it removed the wallpapers, pushing it to /data/app fixed this. I think it has to be in both directories
[G1 Android Development] QTeknology:
Exaggerated ! :)

Thanks Moskuito !

GRAZIE !
[G1 Android Development] s15274n:
I renamed it livewallpapers.apk and put it in both systm/all and data/app. I can't seem to install it though, and it does now show up when I lon press and select wallpaper.

What am I doing wrong?
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
I thought that if you mounted the /system in console that it already had write access. But I tried what you suggested and it worked. Only it needs to be done in terminal rather than console. Cheers!
[G1 Android Development] yokonunz:
live walls are good but they still unusable cause gpu acceleration is missing.

:eek:

now moving some grass on the screen means using 90% of CPU!!
