[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Branwen:
EDIT: DOES NOT WORK FOR 1.1

Ok so here is my first shot at a theme.

I've done some image editing on this, but mainly its a compilation of stuff from other themes on this site.

Flash at your own risk/do a nandroid backup!

How-to Theme Development

And NpRussell for making this rom

And Oshaka for making .jar's easy to edit

And the themes I borrowed from:

Luminescence by Amoredraven

Blue_Haze by Cloverdale

And Enoch's theme, which I can't find atm.

So go send those people some love :)

And of course

hTC :)

Oops, to help clear it up, its using Home++, which is a home replacement app, in beta on the market
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] nattskift:
Works with the Hero? :D Vanillian might be hero-only tho... still, does it? Looks sweet! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Branwen:
Thanks.

I think the .jar edits would cause it to bootloop, but I'll have a look and see.

But only for vanilla roms, nothing with sense
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] MrPappy86:
This theme work with CyanogenMod v1.0 ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] djmace:
Is the file corrupt?

Ive downloaded it and attempted to extract the files to view exactly whats been changed but it wont extract correctly?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] e.japonica:
are this really for htc hero? after i install & reboot but the btm scrolling icon was not there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] nprussell:
It may well be solely for the VanillainROM, which is in my sig.

It depends exactly what's been changed and where.

Good to see someone theming my roms anyway :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Branwen:
Its for AOSP roms, so anything from Sense Ui will not be changed
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] e.japonica:
im using AOSP vanilla the bottom also didnt change >.<" i really like ur theme ='(
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Mikeytjee:
Yeah i really want the bpttom 2 very nice theme!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] e.japonica:
my G1 using SuperD rom also have that. so useful... i want it.. T_T...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Branwen:
Ahhhh, the bottom is Home++

Its a home replacement app, in beta on the market.

IMO its the best one out there, GO. GET. IT.

[sorry for the confusion]
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] e.japonica:
THANKS Branwen!!! muackz! =x *oops im guy*
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] djmace:
Any way to get this to work on Kagudroid 1.2.2?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Branwen:
I tried it this morning, but could not get the .jar files to edit properly.

Will have another go now
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] djmace:
Brilliant news, thanx

Ive been trying to get the che changes you made to GenieWidget to work on the version in kagudroid and couldnt, I tried copying the whole apk across, just the 2 folders with the changed icons and even opening the apk on the desktop and copying the folders in and then installing it but none would work. Not exactly sure what i was doing really lol.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Branwen:
Ah, that needs to be in an update .zip, I can do that easily.

Two ticks.....

Here you go:

http://zerotwonine.co.uk/dropbox/modified_genie_widget.zip

Should just be able to flash that
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] djmace:
Didnt work sori, flashed with no problem but when it rebooted the original genie widget was there with out the changes, tried removing and re adding the widget but still no changes to the graphics
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] e.japonica:
very nice theme & with the home++ ;p i juz pwned a friend who using diamond2 at my work place with this theme & home++ hehe...

we r android vs winmo war going on ;p *win everytime* its a theme/apps/functional war!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mrcharlesiv:
Will this work on my CDMA Hero w/ an AOSP 2.0.1 ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Branwen:
I would think not
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] djmace:
I tried using metamorph to get the graphics to change and although it seems the files have been copied accross correctly the widget still didn't change. I then discoveredy that the app is also installed in data/app folder under com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget.apk and it seems that this is the one in use. I've not tried to metamorph this location yet but will do when I get home.

On a side note are you able to edit or resize. 9.PNG files? I'd like to change the background image used but the one I have is from a theme for the Droid.

edit: Didnt work either.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] djmace:
Ive got this to work now, i didnt uninstall the previous one before running the update zip for this one, all is working now thanx, just want to change the background now......
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Zwart:
Tried this theme on Vanillian 1.1, but keeps hanging on HTC-logo. More people with this problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Branwen:
I made it for 1.0, when it was based on Cyanogen's sources. Cant get it to work atm for 1.1, sorry
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] nprussell:

Thank you in advance!

[Windows Mobile Software Development] pdcpa:
I installed .NET 3.5 and I'm guessing it was bad copy or something was corrupted as now, when I try and install a program called Lexi Drug Interactions, it will not install saying something is wrong with .NET.

So anyway, is there a way to UNINSTALL THIS?

No (DOH) it does not show up on the remove programs program.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stephj:
I would recommend a hard reset of your device. The .NET CFs tend to embed themselves quite deeply within the operating system. Trying to get them uninstalled can be a nightmare. At least a hard reset will get rid of it completely.

Transfer your personal data over to the storage card first.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DMaverick50:
It seems like a very basic function to be able to search the SD card and modify/ manipulate files and folders. Is there not a way to do this sans some 3rd party app?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rmrector:
Files on SD card are not accessible without 3rd party apps, or mounting to your computer.

The idea might have been that applications should take care of their own files on the SD card, and you shouldn't have much of a need to poke around there much yourself. Maybe.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ionizer12:
I had to replace the digitizer on my Touch pro and decided to try it myself. One problem- the lcd screen was fuzed with the digitizer and I couldnt get them apart. i ended up messing up the screen in the process. I am getting a new lcd, just waiting till it arrives. My question is- when I go to put them both in, how would get them together like that, or will i just have them pressed together then installed in the phone they will work? Idk. any help would be appreciated. I just got this phone and Im looking forward to using it once its fixed.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] matthewb57:
Okay... so I have never played around with using different ROMs, unlocking phones, or anything to do with hacking perfectly good devices. I want to start!

I am quite confident that I have the technical know how to play around with the above mentioned items. I have spent significant time reading up on the different programs, methods, ROMs, issues, fixes, etc. I understand the risks and am willing to try some new things on my TP2 from Telus (CDMA).

My objective right now is to simply play around with some different ROMs. At a later date I may be interested in unlocking the GSM radio to work on any US/Canadian carrier. But for now, simply custom ROMs.

Before I venture off into the unknown I'd like a couple of questions answered if possible that I can't seem to find answers to:

1) Does the HardSPL offered here (rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com/hard-spl.php by "OliNex" team) require the phone to be unlocked first (CID/Security/SIM Unlocker)?

2) If the phone does not need to be unlocked first before using HardSPL, is there any complications unlocking the phone after?

3) I see that it is possible to revert back to a stock ROM if necessary (for warranty, etc). I notice there is a Telus Stock ROM listed at PPCGeeks, and that the HardSPL info refers to putting back on the original SPL (v0.63.0000) as a final step (obviously for warranty). My question is that I have v0.62.0000 on the Telus TP2 and is it possible to get this SPL somewhere? I don't want to run into issues with warranty if it should be v0.62.0000 and they see v0.63.0000 loaded...

*My knowledge on the separation of SPL and ROM is a little limited right now, so maybe this is packed with the Telus Stock ROM? Please clarify if possible.

I think that should be it for questions before I move forward. Basically I want to ensure I can put my device back to its original condition if necessary and that the resources to do that are available right now.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] defaultdotxbe:
1: no, in fact its the other way around, HardSPL must be run before the phone can be SIM unlocked

2: none

3: i think SPL updates can be packed into rom updates, but im not sure, i know one of the features of HardSPL (other than flashing custom roms) is that it cannot be automatically overwritten, so there must be cases where people are flashing official roms and getting SPL updates as well

Hey guys,

Friend of mine's working on an app called Zazu. It's a cool alternative to a regular alarm clock on your phone that gives you weather, news, emails, etc. I was told they're signing up beta testers this week (http://bit.ly/8YUiv9). Check out http://www.getZazu.com for more info.

Too bad I'm still stuck on WinMo :(

Hope you guys like it!!
[Android Apps and Games] m0bstar:
I registered to Beta Test, if they accept i will let give critique here to spark more interest.
[Android Apps and Games] e5oteric:
Thanks man, signed up for beta today.
[Android Apps and Games] tbaker077:
based on what they are showing there seem to also be a WM version, you were not able to try that?

Maybe a bad question, but is the beta free?
[Android Apps and Games] getZazu:
Zazu says Welcome!

Hey everyone,

We appreciate all your enthusiasm and interest in Zazu. We are working hard to get the beta app (it will be free for beta) ready and we can't wait to let you guys try it out! The best way to keep up to date with the Zazu happenings is to sign up for the beta so we can keep you in the email loop (and might as well join the FB group while you're at it!). Looking forward to hearing about your mornings and giving you your own cool, new talking assistant!

Cheers,

- The Zazu Team

[HD2 General] micmicsa:
Hello all,

i am planning to purchase HD2 as of my new year toy, but recently i found that some peoples said that it's not supporting video call, so i called HTC and they replied the same answer...:(

may i know if someone from XDA has a cocked rom that come with Video function?

tks

mic
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
no till now, and no one could , i asked several times i this forum and no one answerd.
[HD2 General] Stephen Selby:
There's no camera facing you when you look at the screen so it can't do video call even with a software update.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] anthro:
I just visited http://getsongbird.com/ to see its desktop app and was surprised to find that it now supports Droid and Hero http://getsongbird.com/gadgets/ .

I can't find it on the market, though. I'm also wondering why only those two Android devices are "supported". I'm Googling for the apk, but I can't find it. There's not much online buzz about the new stuff on Songbird so I find it weird.

Imagine the power of a powerful open source music player on the desktop and on our superphones :D

Can anyone share the apk and tell what's going on? :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rmrector:
It doesn't run on the phone, it's just able to sync music to your phone from within Songbird, so you don't have to move your music via file browser.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] anthro:
yeah... my hopes were too high
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rickstone:
Also, if you're trying to put music on your Linux-based Android phone from a Linux-based OS, you're SOL. Don't know why the Linux folks get screwed on simple sh*t like this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 513:
Yep because it is clearly written on the page that it is just a sync.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
There's something horribly ironic about that. I use Win7 exclusively at home, but am forced to use Ubuntu at work and find it kind of sad I can't sync music there. Not that I need to--I'm more inclined to do that drag-and-drop thing anyway--but still.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pixlgeek:
lol... forced to use Ubuntu...? Ubuntu is a dream to use i think, maybe im biased though. :)

Windows 7 is nice too.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JunoonX:
Why are you SOL on Linux? http://banshee-project.org/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rickstone:
That doesn't work. Hasn't since it was announced for the G1. They seem to refuse to do anything about it. And Banshee is buggy, extremely slow and crashes constantly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rickstone:
Agreed...I would LOVE to use Ubuntu at work. Also, I would love nothing more than to never have to see any Windows/MS product again.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] anthro:
All I can say is LOL

@jairuncaloth

I was just reading about how you got debian + x11 working on your nexus. I think thats awsome how you got a fully oprerational linux OS on your phone. I just had a few questions on how everything worked.

You were saying it doesn't mess with the default android OS, is there like a duel boot option to chose what OS i want to boot into. I was reading on how you have to start an ssh session to get into debian, and was just currious on some more info. I would be intrested in trying this out some time after i did a little more reading to get a better understanding of how everything was working.

If this wasn't working out after i installed, is it a pain to remove.

Thanks,

Justin
[Nexus One Android Development] enomther:
Nice post, appreciate the thoroughness.

I'm going to pour through this when I get some free time. :) Whenever that is :D

Thanks!

~enom~
[Nexus One Android Development] jairuncaloth:
Hey Justin. The reason it doesn't mess with the default android OS is when you boot, you're booting with a kernel image living on your desktop/laptop's hard disk. fastboot allows you to boot images without acctually flashing them to your phone. Debian lives on the SDcard so no flashing required.

You can also use adb to connect to debian now. It's as simple as copying over the binary from android.

Removing is as simple as rebooting. When you reboot it will be like debian was never there.
[Nexus One Android Development] jairuncaloth:
I would love to hear ideas for improvements you may have :)

This is still pretty raw.
[Nexus One Android Development] dahui9:
now my question is can those devs good with the linux kernel use this to hack into the android OS and unlock the security on the device without bricking the phone? ;)

-Charlie
[Nexus One Android Development] jjkwasnik:
@jairuncaloth

I understand what you mean, i have used fast boot a few times. I know how to use it, just haven't used it a lot. So with using fast boot, once Debian is booted can you disconnect the usb cable. Is the kernel copied in RAM, or does it still need to talk to the kernel that resides on the PC?

I like where you are going with this, i am experienced with Linux. Not super advanced, but i know more then i think i do sometimes. I would like to try this out sometime to, but i'm very busy with work and the little free time i have gets spent before i know it. So knowing a little about it before i get my feet wet, always helps.

Thanks!!
[Nexus One Android Development] Lancealot:
Great news guys! Glad to see progress is being made. Can't wait to see where this goes from here!

Cheers
[Nexus One Android Development] iamwhoamnot:
this is so cool, i was trying to get the chroot version to run on my nexus one the other day like i had it on my g1 but it was giving me trouble so i gave up. if proper support for the radio and the touchscreen/keyboard is created this would truly be monumental.

kudos for you man awesome job!
[Nexus One Android Development] jairuncaloth:
Should look something like this after you run the fastboot boot command

creating boot image...

creating boot image - 2240512 bytes

downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY

booting... OKAY

At this point it's safe to pull the usb cable. If you are using adb to connect, you'll still want it though :-p
[Nexus One Android Development] jairuncaloth:
I got the code aurora X driver to build last night. I ended up building it in debian on the phone. I couldn't get it to build against AOSP kernel headers, but it does build with the code aurora kernel headers. X won't start when you tell it to use the driver. I suspect this is because I built the driver against a different kernel then the one the system is booting on. I have not been able to get the code aurora kernel to boot yet, but I'm working on it to see if X will start with this driver and the CA kernel.

Also, I've uploaded the kernel I've been using to my blog. In case someone wants to play with this, but doesn't want to build a kernel.

[Nexus One Android Development] babijoee:
Can anyone post any vids for this?

Would love to have a look at this and then maybe i'll have a try at it afterwards :)
[Nexus One Android Development] jairuncaloth:
No videos yet.. I've got some snapshots of X running though.

http://picasaweb.google.com/JairunCaloth/Debian?feat=directlink
[Nexus One Android Development] Lancealot:
Thank you for the pictures, it really feels good to see this kind of progress being made. I can not wait to try this out!
[Nexus One Android Development] tizzl10:
looks interesting, but scary to a new guy like me..im sure i will try it though..continue the work on streamlining the process !
[Nexus One Android Development] JHaste:
so how is this running? by that i mean is everything running smooth/snappy?

looks good by the way, i may try this out
[Nexus One Android Development] jairuncaloth:
It's fast enough for you old man!

Really though, it runs pretty smoothly. Once we work out the kinks it could even be pretty nice. :-p
[Nexus One Android Development] swetland:
One thing you could do, if you don't mind nuking the recovery partition, is flash your debian boot image to recovery -- then you can reboot into debian with "reboot recovery" from an android root shell, or by entering the bootloader and selecting recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] rheza02:
it will be great if it is more simple. :(
[Nexus One Android Development] jjkwasnik:
@jairuncaloth

I love the pics man!!!

I just came up with another question with running Debian, is there any software to still make phone calls through your cell provider? Or do you just have to reboot back into android?
[Nexus One Android Development] imperiallight:
If anyone can test the annotation and note taking app Jarnal below as running it would be much appreciated:

http://levine.sscnet.ucla.edu/general/software/tc1000/jarnal-down.htm
[Nexus One Android Development] Rafase282:
where do I put the zimage file? on the debian partition?
[Nexus One Android Development] jairuncaloth:
The zimage lives on your local computer. When you tell fastboot to boot the image, it is pushed to the device and then booted.

@gazzaaa87

Are you using adb from linux or windows? Can you connect to the phone while in android?
[Nexus One Android Development] Rafase282:
Well I don't know what to do then, it didnt work for me. I'll just wait for an easier way. I do have debian shell working.
[Nexus One Android Development] gazzaaa87:
Yep I can connect to the phone fine when I boot into Android. I have installed X that way in fact by logging back into the debian bash.

When booting into debian I have tried connecting to the phone using both Windows and linux. Neither gets a response.

Any ideas?
[Nexus One Android Development] Flippy125:
I don't know if this is possible, but wouldn't it be awesome if we could set up a phone/SMS app for this and somehow access the radio and have this as an alternative to the Android OS?
[Nexus One Android Development] jairuncaloth:
Ofono is the most likely source of being able to do this. I've played with it a little using the g1 drivers and have been able to send an SMS. Making a phone call did not work with that driver.

Basically the phone communicates with the radio using AT commands over a virtual serial bus. I believe most standard AT commands are supported, but there are some extra proprietary to HTC commands too.
[Nexus One Android Development] jairuncaloth:
Hrm... If I just had to guess, i'd say ADBD isn't starting. Either that, or you phone never finishes booting. Usually the biggest problems I've run into while booting is / not being able to be mounted. Double check your fstab.
[Nexus One Android Development] Bombenbach:
Hi jairuncaloth,

may I ask you a question concerning WiFI?

You are using bcm4329 module, right? So, if you run

"iwlist eth0 scan" (assuming that eth0 is your wireless), does the scanning work?
[Nexus One Android Development] gazzaaa87:
Sorry for the slow reply, I was away all easter weekend.

- Ok so regarding ADBD, I have checked it is definitely inside the folder /data/local/mnt/sbin and my rc.local file inside /data/local/mnt/etc reads:

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

/sbin/adbd &

exit 0

- I have also checked my fstab (inside /data/local/mnt/etc), which reads:

# cat /data/local/mnt/etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# file system mount point type options dump pass

/dev/mmcblk0p2 / ext2 defaults 1 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/sdcard vfat defaults 0 0

Thanks for helping, can anyone spot anything wrong with the above?

-Dan
[Nexus One Android Development] gazzaaa87:
I'm in the process of starting from scratch to see if that makes a difference. Something I've noticed that's worth adding to the original post (since it took me ages to figure this out the first time), is to assign the PATH variable *before* executing the chroot/debootstrap command in Step 6. If you don't do this, you get an error. I used the following:

export PATH=/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin

If you install chroot to /system/bin, the 'chroot/debootstrap' command should be able to find all it needs. Hope that helps someone.

I'll let you know if I get it to work once I'm done.

-Dan
