This is a lot like the Metro (WM7/Zune HD) UI. I like it.
[Nexus One Android Development] ruqqq:
yup. the source code is available. ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
ahhh, I hope a dev can get it poppin.
[Nexus One Android Development] mburris:
the source code is available here (android open source project)

@Geniusdog254 that't actually exactly what I thought when I was looking through the Gallery3D in a folder that had a ton of pictures.

I would be willing to help organize a project to get this up and running based on community coding and support. Here's the grocery list of what we'd need to get started:

Project Manager/coordinator

2 - 5 Code Contributors

2 - 3 graphics guys (or ladies, wink ((kidding (((kinda)))

hand full of testers / guinea pigs
[Nexus One Android Development] Randel77:
A music app PLeeaaze. The stock music app is so boring it would be so much nicer with the gallery look.
[Nexus One Android Development] bobdude5:
i'll be a guinea pig :) unless somebody wants me to point in my the right direction of what code i should learn to properly contribute because im getting kind of bored being a tester lol
[Nexus One Android Development] teknomanelvis:
I think the 3d gallery would a be good implemented for music collection
[Nexus One Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
Just thinking about it...

You could even have the 'gallery' as Genres or Artist..etc.

Lots of scope here.

Very happy to test but no coding skills I'm afraid :(
[Nexus One Android Development] ztrafe:
Link to source code?
[Nexus One Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
Seriously...... read the thread.
[Nexus One Android Development] mburris:
I recommend two starting points when getting into actual android/java programming.

First you will need a crash course in Java programming... from what I've read, this is one of the best books to start with: "Head First Java"

maybe a quick google search can turn up a 'preview'

Second, I highly recommend "Beginning Android 2" for the android specific stuff.

again... a google search does the body good

That's where I'm starting. Oh by the way, if anyone is even slightly interested in java... BUY that head first book from Amazon, its a gem.
[Nexus One Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
I'm down to be a tester...

also, since the source is available you should rename this thread [think tank]
[Nexus One Android Development] newjaruz:
Sounds like a great idea. I hope Google has already thought of this and its under development and part of froyo. Anyway... the albums can be the new album and the pics can be the songs.. this would be so epic and such a nice way of implementing and recycling what already exists. I use to code when I was in HS but i don't remember enough and don't know almost anything about java or whatever else is needed to contribute. But I am willing to test.
[Nexus One Android Development] ruqqq:
It's not as easy. You guys would need experience coders. I've played around with the code sometime ago. It's Java+OpenGL ES. Expect to see dirty codes of Google etc. ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] anthro:
I'm a UX guy. I can help with UX ideas when this starts to materialize :)
[Nexus One Android Development] jroid:
Graphic designer here.. can contribute graphics
[Nexus One Android Development] InGeNeTiCs:
I'm keeping my eye on this thread. Seems like a lot of really cool stuff can come of it.
[Nexus One Android Development] Guy_Fawx:
I know a little bit of Java, but probably not nearly enough to help you guys with this... I would however be able to help test this if/when the project needs testers. ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] bobdude5:
wow thanks man :D So java is all i really need to know for android?
[Nexus One Android Development] jroid:
and knowledge of linux programming
[Nexus One Android Development] coolbho3000:
I love how you link to Google searches of the PDFs of the books then encourage people to buy the book from Amazon. At best it's no worse than sceners who encourage you to buy software that you just downloaded in the NFO.
[Nexus One Android Development] mburris:
First of all, I appreciate your work on the SetCPU app. Very nice program.

I do not condone downloading copies of someone's hard work for free, but I can't control the order of Google search results either.

If you click the google link for "Head First Java" that I linked to, the first or second result is actually exactly what I was referring to as a 'Preview'. It is the entire second chapter in PDF format hosted by the book's Publisher, O'Reilly.

And the reason I said to buy that book on Amazon... It's really something that you need to have sitting on your desk, right next to your laptop, so that as you go through the chapters you can actually do the programming exercises they provide.
[Nexus One Android Development] bobdude5:
oh crap ahaha i didnt even notice the link lol
[Nexus One Android Development] popophobia:
Is someone still working on this? This is such a great idea and I don't want it to lose traction after a small quarrel over some unrelated issues.
[Nexus One Android Development] mburris:
There was no quarrel.

The first post lists what type of contributors we need to get this project started. Aside from a few people willing to do testing, the most crucial roles are still unspoken for.

If anyone would like to see this project become a reality, but don't think you can contribute one of the main needs listed on the first post, there is still something you can do: Get the word out, create some buzz, rally a call to arms so to speak.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
we need a tinychat think tank sometime. I'm going to start learning

java and Linux this summer so I can help eventually!

[Nexus One Android Development] ady:
I'm thinking of writing something like that as a pet project. A bit more refined and customizable though.

What I'm thinking is to have a tab like interface, much like HTC Sense on WinMobile but more customizable, with the ability to add tabs by some kind of configuration, preferably XML description files. So those who aren't code savy can still make tabs combining RSS feeds/XML Websevices from across the web without having to dive into java.

I'm not yet committed to it though so lets see.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
that would be...AWESOME
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
I'm searching for something to dev for Android.. this is actually very interesting!

Hope to be good enought to help you guys on the code, otherwise, consider me as a big tester!
[Nexus One Android Development] RoboPhred:
Rather than starting off as a new program, this should be made as a list type ui element, so multiple programs can make use of it.

I'm up for helping in the development if anything comes of it.
[Nexus One Android Development] jroid:
i agree, it should be able to be called by other activities
[Nexus One Android Development] darx:
You guys are really onto something here. I wish I couldhelp myself with the development... I need to learn how to!

It's apps like this that could really set Android apart from other smartphones, I hope you can all put a team together.
[Nexus One Android Development] ErickPetru:
So... Is this nice idea dead?

I really would like to see it growing and runing on my Milestone.

Maybe I can help in any way (I'm developer, but no experience with Android yet. I'm designer too, had created many designs for Windows Mobile at past. And I speak portuguese and spanish to help translating it).

If this project starts some time in future, I'll be there. :rolleyes:

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rarewolf:
Sorry if this issue has been posted before ... my search didn't find it ...

My Xperia X1a has quit playing my MP3 ringtones, and instead seems to only play WMA. If I try to designate a MP3 as a ringtone, and sample it, no sound happens. If I browse to the MP3 file and try to open it, a message appears that states no application is associated with MP3. But Media Player still plays MP3s ok(??)

Please advise ...

TIA, and cheerios from the Avalon Peninsula :)

Hello, was wondering if anyone here has a list of the bloatware and files to remove from the htc pure, and how to customize the start screen and get rid of unused programs?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] cmstackar:
This has been answered before, but for the start menu, use the file explorer (I think ATT put it in tools) then go to my device > windows > start menu > programs. From there you can add or delete items from the start menu
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Keltisch WerWolf:
i understand that it has been answered before, i have been searching all the forums and still have not found an actual solution! Pointin me in the right direction with a link would be appreciated.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] leemoss84:
just flash a new rom
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Keltisch WerWolf:
ok which one? gimme a link cause i havent seen anythin specific
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
Flashing a ROM is a little more indepth than just finding it.

Read the flashing guide from the Wiki.

Start here.

HSPL must be first!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Keltisch WerWolf:
ice thanks, but i have been there and nothing states HTC Warhawk (Pure), everything says TD 2 or Topaz. Been searching for 2 days, I need a specific pure rom! I have flashed new roms before on the Samsung Blackjack II. just need specific instructions and rom files to do it!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
They're all the same. Topaz = Pure = Warhawk = TD2

If you're looking for a stock ROM upgrade, you have to do it from HTCs site with your S/N.

If you want to flash a custom ROM, once you're HSPL'd you can flash any ROM in the Topaz forum.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Keltisch WerWolf:
cool m8, thanks! Now does it update the radio, or do i need to flash the radio to the newest version
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
Cooked ROMs may contain a radio but usually not. It would be denoted in the title of the ROM, i.e., WM6_5_23541_4.49.25.91_TOPAZ

There is also a radio thread where the radio ROMs have been posted separately in the Wiki.

I have tried a few Topaz radios but have not noticed the difference I've noticed with flashing radios on other devices.

ps, there have been issues with HSPL so if you aren't able to flash per the instructions in that thread, you will need to download the autoinstaller and "make a donation" for it to work. They have been fairly slow to respond to requests as well.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Keltisch WerWolf:
Bruce any recommendations on a rom, i hear Dutty is good but does he do Pure or Topaz? And how do i choose the best one out of the list givin?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lucaryholt:
Hey

Is there anyway that i can do a custom bootscreen on defiance, which by the way is the best rom i have ever tried.

thanks.

[Desire General] niraveg:
I got my t-mobile Desire yesterday and didn't hesistate to crack it open and set it up etc etc.

Checked my box today and its says HTC Bravo so can everyone check if their box says Bravo or Desire?

Just trying to see if its pre-release models or actual release models...
[Desire General] lukaswat:
It says bravo yes. Its normal ;)
[Desire General] irkan:
Typical of HTC, they release a public name and non-public name, just like "Touch Pro2" .. and "Rhodium" they are the same

same goes for the desire i guess "Desire" and "Bravo" ... same :)
[Desire General] jacktodd:
Inseparable!

I love the colour and style of the graphite HTC Desire. Under the light it shines and appears to be in different colours.

Mine came from Mobile Phones Direct, ordered last Wednesday and got it Thursday and have been inseparable from it ever since.... Is that sad?? :)
[Desire General] vegetaleb:
I still don't know what to choose: N1 or Desire

Personally I preffer the look of N1 over Desire, but after I have red so many complaints about missing calls because of the low volume speaker I wonder if the Desire has a better speaker or it's the same :confused:

Actually some devs are trying to get an extra volume for N1 so a slight loudness of the Desire over N1 is ot sufficiant to convince me
[Desire General] s1977:
vegetaleb

I used to have a N1 before I decided to switch to the Desire. My reasoning was as follows:

1. The soft touch keys on the N1 were a hit and miss at times. I thought the implementation was not effective as it should have been. Hard buttons on the Desire, I thought were the best option.

2. Even though the N1 has some technological advantages like noise cancellation, I wasn't convinced that it was such a big deal. I felt my voice echo a couple of times during calls, so that was another no no.

3. Google's support was pathetic TBH. Buying something for over $500 and not being able to talk to a person was the last thing I wanted. What would happen if my phone stopped working and I was stuck between google-htc for support?

4. As with speaker loudness, Yes, it was far too low. Also, the back cover has a very small opening for the sound as against the Desire.

HTC being the manufacturer would give me better support and besides if the necessary softwares are ported over to the Desire, then it is good enough. I used the N1 for a month and TBH, even though it is good, I won't be missing it once I get the Desire. HTC, I assume has learnt and corrected the mistakes it learnt from the N1, I hope.... :)

My 2p's worth of opinion. :)
[Desire General] gandalf027:
Read the reviews even comparing the legend and the Nexus .. the ringtone volume is almost the same .. so the Desire is for certain the same.

Google Nexus One 79.1db

HTC Legend 79.7db

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_legend-review-462p4.php

@s1977 ... but you don't have the Desire yet .. correct?
[Desire General] vegetaleb:
Yes but there is something weird with Gsm Arena db test because the N1 is then louder than Milestone and iphone 3G while all the test proved it was way lower :eek:

Unless they tested the physical potential of the speaker directly on the circuit with a db meter,meaning the n1 speaker need lot of tweaking
[Desire General] trion:
the desire is not the legend, so we have to wait.

If holes in the back is the problem, then maybe drilling more holes will help?
[Desire General] benko286:
Yeah that will help but there is a dust problem and you can forget about your warranty...
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
On which phone?
[Desire General] ephumuris:
On any phone you drill holes in!
[Desire General] irkan:
NO! they are not the same, Desire has Dolby Sound Enhancement, .. the legend does NOT
[Desire General] benko286:
This!

I wasn't thinking on a dust issue with screen(which some N1 has) but if you drill any holes dust will go in easily....
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
Hmm really? Because I thought the Nexus had the dust issue and since we are comparing the Desire and NX-1...I thought that the people who have recieved their Desire handsets had the same problem!
[Desire General] gettingtired:
Yes, really. The Desire may or may not have the same dust problem, we don't know yet. But the post about dust was an answer to someone talking about drilling holes in the phone, which obviously may lead to dust getting in where it shouldn't.
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
Gettingtired, I was being sarcastic by saying "really?" :D

I know it's possible to get dust under the screen. However, I read somewhere in the forum that the Desire has some sort of screen over the front and back speakers.
[Desire General] firedup:
I have had both phones and can honestly say the Desire is much better than the N1 which U also love.

Drilling holes into a phone? Mucking fuppets.
[Desire General] vegetaleb:
@ firedup

Did you noticed a much loudervolume on Desire(ringtones)??
[Desire General] firedup:
Not much louder to be fair but it vibrates in my pocket so its OK
[Desire General] vegetaleb:
So the Desire is just slightly louder if I understand and if N1 get an audio hack it would be the same right?
[Desire General] vegetaleb:
Ok so to sum up :

Desire advantages:

+ SENSE UI (but N1 can have it through ROM)

+ Slightly louder speaker (N1 devs are working on an audio hack)

+ more RAMs

+ HArdware buttons under screen

N1 advantages:

+ Better look (my personal opinion)

+ Speech to Text (Desire has text to speech)

+ Dual mic for cleaner conversations

+ Available right now while Desire is being delayed
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
Double post :(
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
Thanks for comparison.
[Desire General] vegetaleb:
Actual Desire ROM for N1 is in alpha when the devs will port a final retail ROM of the Desire on the N1 (beta) those problems would be solved

Xda devs saw worse problems than that already :D
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
True, but I have never owned a Sense UI phone before. Now that I have the chance...I will probably jump on it. Unfortunately the stock Android UI on the MyTouch was a major letdown for me :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shatterpoints:
Hi,

I'm new here-ish, I've lurked quite abit and love this website. I have a verizon xv6900 (vouge) and around december/ january I loaded a android build called "cupcake" after a while it crashed and my sd card went loopy and I had to do a long format to it. Anyway this morning I found the time to load Myn's "Donut" android build and I am super happy with it. So that said I know my way around WinMo and Android, I read somewhere the xv6900 is GPS capable but I can't seem to find anything solid on the matter.

Does anyone know if there is a GPS crack and if so can it work with the "Warm Donut" build I have now?

Thanks,

James
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
if you are with verizon, getting GPS working is a pain, but do-able. best to find the threads in other parts of this forum to get it working in windows mobile, once you have it working there, it will work in android - even after you flash to nand. easiest way imho.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:

Follow that guide to a T and you'll be good to go. When GPS doesn't work no matter what, do that. It takes a few hours but it will work if you follow all the steps.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
believe so, adding it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shatterpoints:
Thanks for the prompt reply guys. I am weary of the coke unlocker as when I used it on my old xv6900 (the one I got the day they came out) it bricked my phone. It booted once after being "unlocked" but had no radio and after a few minutes it crashed and would not boot past the verizon splash screen. I had to find a stock ROM to put on the sd card and even then it only worked once. I had to send it in and get a replacement phone. This one seems to be more cooperative but I'm not messing with the NAND. One bad experience like that is enough to keep me from trying again.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myriad67:
I followed the mentioned post with my xv6900 and GPS works wonderfully now!

Now that some Desire got unleashed in the market, I still don't know what to choose :confused:

The single(but very important) annoying thing I have found with N1 is the speaker, Desire has a loud speaker giving actual owners point of view but nobody compared it actually to N1. So if somebody knows if a difference exist and if it's a big one please help me decide
[Nexus One General] lordofsilence:
I would never recommend the N1,I am having the worst signal ever,the worst fluctuation.

This is just my personal experience with this device,I am sure others will have better ones.
[Nexus One General] Schwacker:
Veg,

Tough call for I, too, was going to wait for the Desire but A) I have no idea WHEN it's going to be released in the U.S. and B) if it'll be available for ATT users. So I got me a N1. So far, so good. I've had no problems and love the darn thing. I'm in Denver and the signal is fine.
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
Can you hear your N1 ringing if you are in a noisy gym room for exemple?

I heard the speaker is weak because it's at the rear and when posing it on a table it's that that meaking it ''un-hearable''

It seems the Desire suffers the same speaker location righ?

Who knows though... Maybe I just have a loud ringtone.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Blah......
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
For some reason GSMarena gave the N1's loudspeaker a pretty good score. I found that the max volume of loudspeaker is disproportionally higher that the volume one notch down. At 50% the volume is actually very poor even in a quiet room. This makes me think that the loudspeaker is actually capable of producing loud volume but for some reason it is not doing what it is fully capable of.
