Google Wave has absolutely nothing to do with being a respository for source code. Wave is great for planning and chit chat, if there is an actual project in development, that is needed to build off of. Designing widgets for the 2.1 home if you are trying to build a home replacement is futile. Designing specifically for HelixLauncher is not possible because the source for it is not available.

Does the code referenced above actually exist? If so, where is it, this is the framework that the widgets must be built from if you are wanting to do something new. A house can't be built without a foundation. If this doesn't, I think you're missing how a UI is built from an actually programmer's perspective. All the imaging in the world on Wave is great but imagining doesn't create actual substance.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sinistermatches:
Whatever dude! Sinister is obviously a freaking Android pioneer. If you are going to contribute, just sit back and wait for his instructions. Once the wave gets started, this baby is gonna blow up cellies all over the face of this great nation.

OK, now that I'm done with that scrub... ;)

Man we need a widget that makes the phone get hot when its hot out! I'm going to coin it the "Heatwave" widget.

We could even make it so if you get cold in the winter, you can just turn that on, sort of like hothands you know... except you don't have to shake it, you just switch it on.

P.S. Sorry for the name sinister, I just liked your attitude so much that I had to tribute you somehow with my profile.

Screw the PS!!!

LET'S DO THIS PEOPLE!!!!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sinistermeshes:
Even the most basic of home replacements is third party app enabled, and can offer the most extensive custimizations available. In the grand scheme, yes I suppose Imagine will be a home replacement, but one good enough to completely remove sense to make the space for such an advanced interaction. Point being, all this COULD be done from just an .apk. The .apk I have now is nowhere finished, and ready to be put on anyones phone. The code is not ready to be tinkered with until I brave leaving emulator on PC and install on phone. I am taking the beginning of what I have learned from simple Google searches and created a blank slate.

I can post screen shots if you like.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sinistermeshes:
I truthfully have tears in my eyes from the laughter. You are an amazing soul, I can feel your spirit even through mere words.

Welcome aboard friend.

Go ahead and install HelixLauncher (assuming you running 2.1 of one build or another) and build your Heatwave widget.

Thanks for the support, god knows I need it in what might be a smart community, is still very closed minded.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] BonQuiQui:
Sure, screenshots sound great. I would suggest, based on over a decade of experience, to have your code completely open in a repository from the first comment and first function, no matter how simple, you write. That's the Open Source model, it works for a reason. I don't know your level of experience in development, but things will move substantially slower if no one is seeing the code but you.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrcharlesiv:
I really hate to rain on your parade but there is an app that already does this. It turns all functions of your phone on to overheat it. I thought it was cool for about 30 seconds then deleted it so I can't remember the name. But it does exist.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] toastcfh:
always glad to see some deving

good work guys. ideas are great and its alway fun o have a toy/baby to work and improve. dont let others bring u down. use it to motivate urself and make this something to desire. i always love to see others think out if the box and strive to make a dream happen.

AGAIN GOOD WORK :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dwertz:
There is an app called cubeworks. Maybe that will give everyone more ideas.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jonnythan:
The fact that they plan to use Google Wave as their development platform/code repository says a lot.

I don't think any code exists either.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] BonQuiQui:
No, no, and no. You realize an APK is just an application package, right? So you're saying you want one binary controlling everything in this UI? Monolithic programming worked in 1983, not so much now. You want modular design and interprocess communication. Think about it - if you are a monolithic and one widget hangs or dies, you're bringing down the entire process. That's not what you want, right? While your enthusiasm is great, you may want to familiarize yourself with core programming concepts before trying to revolutionize the mobile world. This may come off negative to you, but it's part of the gauntlet you must run to be successful in the programming world. Thick skin is a must and the attrition rate is high. Our lives revolve around pointers and variables and loops, we're crazy and mean.

ORIGINAL POST

###################

Hello,

I always use the original Android sleeve with my Nexus One. I have it in it in my pocket around 10 hours a day when working. (with the Trackball on the open side of the sleeve and the display to the "Droid" side)

A week ago (got it since 15th Jan) I noticed some "scratches" at the top on my N1.

Here's a crappy picture shot with a crappy cam.

Will do a better pic tomorrow but I think you can guess what I mean

###################
[Nexus One Accessories] St.Jimmy!:
I stick the phone into the sleeve just as you described and haven't noticed any kind of scratches on the top. I've had it since Feb 18th.
[Nexus One Accessories] JAW$:
The Pouch looks of decent quality to me aswell
[Nexus One Accessories] pzumk:
I'm using it because I thought the quality is just great!

Well, it still is great but the scratches annoy the hell outta me..

noticed it a week ago and it wasn't that much as today :\

Maybe it does "rub" it off with some dust and much moving? I'm always going around and anything @ work, much movement in my pockets ^^
[Nexus One Accessories] EdwardUong:
I think the scratches coz' by rubbing on the wall or something else, not by the pouch. I'm getting a case from case-mate though :D I like the pouch a lot but it's quite annoying sometimes.
[Nexus One Accessories] pzumk:
what do you mean with wall?
[Nexus One Accessories] EdwardUong:
I mean some rough surfaces
[Nexus One Accessories] MintyFloss:
Its because the seams are on the inside, including the stitches. Those WILL rub on your phone and cause scratches if the phone moves around inside, even a little.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
Really? Cuz my phone's in the sleeve for probably 14 hours a day and is still flawless. Obviously you didn't look at the pic, cuz the scuffs are at the top that is exposed while in the sleeve. I'm betting the OP puts other stuff in that pocket with the phone... bad idea.
[Nexus One Accessories] thepawn:
same here, I use the sleeve constantly and have no scratches...did you get dirt or something in your pouch?
[Nexus One Accessories] galaxys:
Use the sleeve a lot and have no scratches or marks on the N1.
[Nexus One Accessories] Spinstorm:
I don't see the N1 as being like an iPhone. For me the side and back is durable and I am not worried about scratches - only the screen concerns me which is why I have a screen protector...

Talking about how phones are made I have to say I think the HD2 is the most durable phone right now with quality and style. The top and sides are almost rubbery so quite resistant to scractches and the back is metal -which although not scratch proof is most definately very resistant to any wear.
[Nexus One Accessories] negroplasty:
Keep your case clean, I have experienced no such problems and I make it a point to keep the inside of the case clean for obvious reasons.

When cleaning the case, I turn the whole thing inside out, shake it out and vacuum it.

Edit: One thing I have noticed is that the phone is prone to marks/scratches quite easily when dropped or bumped into something, as opposed to normal wear and tear (in and out of pocket/case, rubbing against keys etc). I am not really surprised by this, just figured I would note it.
[Nexus One Accessories] pzumk:
Mintyfloss is right, that's causing it and I were about to write it right now since I Googled the translation just before reading that post :) I'm not having anything else in my pocket!

How to avoid these "scratches"? Will put the phone with the bottom first in the sleeve now..

Edit: didn't see the second site until now

I also never ever dropped the phone.

cleaned the sleeve yesterday inside out, hope it helps..

Another edit, not sure if needed: I have the phone and. The sleeve upside down in my pocket
[Nexus One Accessories] MintyFloss:
No, I looked at the pics, and i also READ. OP says he puts the top of the phone into the bottom of the sleeve.

[Nexus One Accessories] blackice666:
Yea, the sleeve can't scratch the Teflon coated phone, it just marks it. I have heard in this forums that you can get away the marks with a little bit of alcohol and a handkerchief.

Hope this helps...
[Nexus One Accessories] britoso:
I thought I had a little bit of scratching in the same area, luckily it rubbed off :)
[Nexus One Accessories] pzumk:
You know I'm not talking about the DISPLAY!?

Okay, new pictures.

thanks for your answers
[Nexus One Accessories] omgdaniel:
Actually, to be honest, I'm having the same thing happen with my phone. I put my phone in the the other way than you and I have those marks on the bottom. Although it doesn't really look or feel like scratches. Just looks like little black marks on it and could come off if you rubbed it with alcohol or something.
[Nexus One Accessories] pzumk:
Yes I meant marks and not scratches. Didn't know the word :P

Well, it really annoys me and I'll try it with some alcohol. Tried to rub it off with the fingers but it didn't work
[Nexus One Accessories] arkavat:
let us know if alcohol works. It would be nice to know the solution is in case we face the same problem.

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ysleiro:
Okay, a little back story. I've been a BB user for quite some time now, got bored and made the switch to N1 this past January.

At this point I'm ready to say: The N1 power consumption or battery BLOWS CHUNKS. But folks thats my take.

I mean here I am with the most powerful and best phone in the world right now and I have to keep my brightness at 33% (GOD forbid I forget and keep it at 100%, I wont make it through the day!). I have to keep my GPS off (so my geo tagging is always off by a few thousand freaking meters). I have to limit my use and take it easy on data intensive apps. It's ludicrous, I want to use this damn thing.

Don't get me wrong I'm fine with the 33% brightness and with the light use (because I'm a student and quite frankly I don't really push the phone like that, due to being in class). But I would still like it if the phone wasn't CRYING for the "milk" bottle every day sharply/promptly at 8 pm.

So the phone makes it through the day (hurrah). But it still annoys me that now I have this new "nag": "get home and charge me Ori". So if anything spontaneous pops up like say: a date with a nice young lady, you can bet your bottom dollar my phone won't be making it alive that night. It's another constraint on an already constrained enough life.

My buddy says "dude I don't know whats wrong with your idiot self.. blah blah blah.. my Nexus battery is great". But the damn jerk is coming from a G1 !!! go figure LOL...

When evaluating something you don't compare it to a pitiful performance. You see how you stack up against the best. So if you reached your conclusion because you are comparing it to a G1 or Cliq I have to honestly disagree with your method of reaching that conclusion.

PS. I'm not a nagging *****. I know I came off a BB. Thats why I'm not asking for much. I would just like to see the phone consistently make it to 11 PM every night from a 7AM 100% charge. Is that too much to ask for?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red MacGregor:
my battery never dips below 50%... of course i'm working most of the day instead of playing with my phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Seems about the same as my Nokia N95's was to be honest.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melterx12:
try the undervolted kernel, it saves you quite a bit of juice.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disgustip8ted:
ill toss my input in on this after i run the att one for a few days to see how much running strictly on 2g actually saves, the tmo band one i had last a good 12-14 hours if i was playing with it mildly at work. thats with the check mark for 2g only, wireless is usually constantly on, and gps always on(but not always running up in the status bar), brightness set to auto
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yhbae01:
Not sure if there's whole lot you can do if you want to keep brightness at 100% and GPS chip on all the time.

I hike quite a bit and I use SportyPal to track my progress. Obviously when I hike, the screen is off but GPS chip is always on. Although I never managed to completely drain the battery so far, I would say it will last around 7-8 hours. I do use SetCPU so that when battery reaches below 40%, clock goes way down to the minimum possible.

Other than getting an extended battery, not sure if there is a solution. 100% screen brightness and GPS really taxes batteries on all cell phones.

By the way, this is MUCH MUCH better than HTC Magic (which in turn was much better than HTC Diamond). I'm not sure how they did it since the battery capacity is the same, screen is larger, and CPU is faster. I am happy. :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
Battery is better than the last few HTC devices I've used and on par with the TP2 (all had similar features, large touch screen, Wifi, GPS, BT). So I would say it's about par for the course as far as I am concerned.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antoniouslj:
Try the 3200mah battery from Seido... you can run all day with wifi, gps, and bluetooth plus have screen at 100% and still have 50%+ battery at 8pm.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
If battery life is more important than the slim look, get the sedio 3200mAh battery.

With 0% brightness, occasional use (GMail, GVoice, GTalk), GPS and Sync on, about 20 minutes of talking, meebo IM running... The battery just lasts 12 hours. CPU profile set to 512MHz when below 50% battery; and is fixed at 245MHz when in standby/sleep.

For the amount of things that it can do I'm happy with the battery life.

If I'm going out I carry the AC cable in my coat pocket :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yhbae01:
I realize this may not be the best solution for most of you, but I also have a portable Duracell charger. It normally acts as a charger for 4 AA batteries. But I can plug-in a USB cable on the charger and the other end to N1. It gives me roughly another 2000mah worth of juice using 4 Eneloops. The charger is bulky though so no good if you want to carry them in pockets. But works for me when I carry a backpack with me. I needed this charger anyways for AA batteries so it's a nice bonus that it can provide some mobile juice for N1. :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikon8:
My battery life is pretty great. I'm running the latest Cyan with the EPE54B radio, i keep the screen on about 75% brightness and never change it, I leave wifi and gps on always, I have bluetooth on and connected for about 2 hours a day, for the 8 hours I'm at work I don't use my phone much only to send some txts and maybe use a couple apps. So I unplug my phone at 7am and when I leave work at 5pm I have 82% battery left everyday with my normal usage.

Just for reference; before switching to Cyan and the latest radio i would have 75% battery when I left work.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazzarin:
:eek: What are you people doing with your phones that you have to carry a charger or a spare battery with you?!

I'm coming from a HD2 and I easily get better battery life than half you guys even with heavy streaming radio/youtube usage and that thing has an enormous power-sucking screen!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ysleiro:
zombie..

Thread revival time !!!

OK so I discovered a few things that are worthy of mentioning since I last posted this issue.

My Nexus off/wake button crapped out and I sent it back for repair. When I got it back it was wiped (like new). I forgot to setup my facebook app and widget. For about 2 days I was going around with the facebook app "off" (it was finals week as such I was not paying much attention to facebook or distractions). I noticed better battery performance. Eventually I set it up but my "Sync Contacts" setting is set to "Don't Sync".

Also I got the SMODA widget that gives u direct "on-off" 3G capability. So whenever I'm at around 30% battery life I throttle the connection to squeeze out as much life as I can. Unless I'm browsing and I need 3G.

Good day to you all and enjoy the world cup.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.bruha:
In all honesty, I've been getting the best battery life I've ever had with Froyo. I only charge my phone in the car with the car dock to and from work (25 minute commute) and occassionally let it sit on the desk dock when I'm messing around online. With those charging habits, I typically get two days of use out of it and have no issues doing any of the things I need to do with it without a charger (games, navigation, calls, texts, web+market browsing, etc.). I could not say the same about any of the Cyanogen ROM's I was running before.

Hope that helps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schwacker:
I have to admit...I am a bit bummed about the battery life. I have the stocked 2.1, on the ATT N1. I have turned off the brightness and I can get 3/4 of the day on the battery. I thought it would last all day but I definitely have to charge it by end of day.

I am looking forward to Froyo for, by all accounts, the battery life has been improved.

Again, I should emphasize that "I'm a BIT bummed" for all in all...I'm still loving my N1 and haven't looked back.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuff:
I've got Froyo on mine and this is what I've noticed.

If I turn my phone on, and send about 10 text messages in an hour, then turn it off, my battery life will be around: 94%.

If I let it idle for an hour without any action, my battery will drain about 1%/hr.

If I am using the internet and sms and just constantly using the processor on the phone, in abour an hr I'll be at 85% battery.

This is all with the backlight set at 11% (lowest setting it will go)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b9nez:
my battery last 27 hours on reg use... 17 hours on heavey use...

Pauls Froyo

3200 Bat

GPS always on

Brightness Auto

Listening to music alot on it to.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I find that on the ATT nexus one, setting to gsm auto (prl) makes a tremendous difference for idle time. With this setting I lost only 11 % in 12 hours of idle. And when I unplug, after 1 hour my battery will still be at 100% with no use.

This setting still gives you 3g too, so no worries.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
My N1 on froyo started to hog alot of juice. I don't know why, it was fine the first 2 weeks but after that it started to suck up loads for some reason. Got tired of trying new kernels and i did many options so i gave up and went back to Cyanogen.. Running 5.0.8 Test5 with Froyo Kernel and it's about 20-24 hours since i last hooked it off the charger and it's at 56% left. Amazing. Tho' im a light user and i keep most stuff off when i don't use it. Even 3G.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8gorilla:
I think that our perception of what we should get concerning battery life is a bit skewed. If I have RIM device (last was BB on metroPCS) I can go like two days without charing. All my email is push. There is no Facebook widget, or weather widget, etc constantly updating. The screen is half the size with weak resolution. The processor is half the speed, or less. The ram is barely enough to run the device. I could go on and on.

The fact is you have a computer, a small computer you can carry in your pocket. This machine is about as powerful as a desktop was 2 years ago. You are powering it with battery that is 1500mh and is the size of a dollar bill folded in half. What do you want exactly?

If you want a battery that lasts 2 or three days, get a dumb phone. If want a pocked PC, you are going to have to deal with the fact that doing all of the things your phone does uses battery power.

If I unplug my laptop I get 2hours and 15minutes. My phone lasts about 7-8hours. I stream music an hour or two, text, play some games, browse the web. I know that it is going to die. I have a spare battery. I change it if I can't charge it.

Battery life is worse than a Blackberry and better than iPhone, and you get the fastest device on the market. What more could you ask for?

Blob Editor for PC

Version: 1.2

I've made a little tool that helps to edit camera's interface.

Supports both X1 and X2.

As you know, interface is packed into images.blob. Now you can replace any image there.

Also you can edit sounds.blob with it

Version history

:

v1.2:

-fixed sounds replacing bug

v1.1:

-added command line support. Now you can assign it to *.blob files.

-F1 and F2 now replace or extract current file

-minor interface fixes

v1.0: initial release

Mini-Guide

:

1) Get you images.blob or sounds.blob file from \Program Files\XperiaCamera\Resources

2) Open it in BlobEditor

3) Find any images you want to replace and press "Replace". It is better to extract all files (they will have internal hex-identifiers, not just an order)

4) Save. Move to \Program Files\XperiaCamera\Resources. Enjoy!

Screenshot

:

Attachments

:

BlobEdit - editing tool.

ExampleUI - little changed X1's UI. Changed arrows in options and "play" image in gallery.

images_x2 - may be someone wants to "port" X2's interface to X1? You are welcomed!

sounds_x2 - sounds from X2
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] chichoko:
Maybe write a mini-guide on how to replace the files? :p I thought it was a .cab app for xperia and all the work was done on the phone.. But I dont know where the .blob files are located in the phone memory in order to replace them :/ Any help appreciated ^^
