Shouldn't the moderator be moving these threads to the accessories forum so we can have them all in one place? Or is it up to us to notify them because they only have so many eyes, and minutes in the day?

when you fit it can you upload some pictures?

Play.com ones haven't even come in yet. Were due for release last Monday I think. May cancel order as still at status "Order Taken"
[Desire General] Nelsaidi:
Same :/ - Pretty annoying, however the screen does remakrablly stay clean! - Scratches seem to be avoidable if your not abusing it, but I still want that peace of mind - ie using dirty fingers xD

Doubt I'll use play.com again.
[Desire General] Arthur Hucksake:
Got it from Carphone Warehouse and its a universal one, so ill have to cut it to size myself.

With this quality of screen though, I get the impression a screen protector might not be needed. It feels pretty scratch resistant unless your clumsy and don't keep it in a case of some sort.

I fail to see how general usage could lead to scratches.
[Desire General] alpha1-:
I bought those - absolutely rubbish! not worth it at all, buy the official or a more decent set :)

Anti-glare screen protectors

Accidents can happen. :)

Has anyone seen somewhere screen protectors with anti-glare? Wonder if they could help improve the AMOLED screen visibility under sunlight.
[Desire General] Pyr0x64:
i was wondering the same thing...

i found the screen really hard to read today in the sun :(
[Desire General] irkan:
thanx for the heads up mate :D

anyone tried decent screen protector for the Desire? "tried" not heard :p
[Desire General] crazybones:
Agreed. They are very flimsy and hard to apply. That said, they serve a purpose until some decent screen protectors are available. A file with a hard plastic binding slid across the screen today of my desire and the screen protector saved the day. It left a mark a across the protector which would otherwise have marked the screen!

Hi,

After a crash screen accident, I bought a black housing for my G2 and I ran into different problems...:

-I gave the broken phone to a shop to replace the screen and gave them my black housing in order to replace the white one. They gave me back the phone. everything works, except gps: no detection. The shop told me it was due to my 'fake' housing :( but I suspect an antenna problem? how can I test that? someone could tell me where is that antenna?

-I've noticed that screws were missing inside the housing.... first I suspected an error from the shop... and I saw that in fact there was one screw broken in its place... I should replace them, but dont know which type of screw I have to buy (on the pic below, it corresponds to the red circles). And should I buy only the screw , or the screw and the small metallic part going with it (that is on the back side of the housing), and where to find this kind of screws...

Don't know it's really clear, but hope that someone could help me....

Thanks

JR

Since you used poor sentence structure, it sounds like you want a cupcake on your phone. I suggest you make one or go buy one in/from the Q&A section.

If I may ask though, why are you looking for cupcake?

hi guys i would like to make the X button to close the program and not just hide it. im using manila 2.1 duttys HGr0
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] qingcao:
not sure the M2.1 is the same with M2.5, in M2.5,

Start -> Settings -> System -> Task Manager, switch to the 'Button' tab, choose 'Enable the X button to end running programs', select the 1st one 'Eng programs by tapping X'

enjoy
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] ramdroid77:
I don't know anything about the ROM you are using but if it's based on WM 6.5 then this X button setting might not exist anymore. Try out AMeBa!

[Hero CDMA General] pwc realtor:
I have tried to like 2.1 (Thanks Damage for the almost perfec ROM). My majoe issue with ti is the non-working Facebook integration but another issue really bugs me:

Whne using the Browser in 2.1 many mobile sites come up zoomed WAY out and completely unusuable unless you double-tap to zoom in. I tried changin te mobile view option in settings with no avail. These are the two sites that I use on a regular basis where it happens (probably more but didn't test):

http://m.facebook.com

http://matrixwireless.mris.com (site I use regularly in the field for my job)

In 1.5 these two sites come up perfectly formatted but in 2.1 they both come out with such small text its unreadable.

Any ideas if this can be fixed or if its an issue that inherent to the HTC browser in Android 2.1. If so looks like I'll be staying on 1.5 or the forseeable future.
[Hero CDMA General] wiiguy5:
Try Dolphin Browser, it's great! ^^(unless you absolutely MUST use HTC's browser, but I fail to see why, unless Dolphin doesn't support flash... I haven't needed flash on my hero at all)

Pre-themed/Pre-built skinned keyboards.

Custom skins for Jonasl's HTC_IME high res.

These are signed with the exact same certificate that jonasl uses so if you can install his, you can install these and go back and forth with no problem.

These are no longer flashable update.zip files, all you need to do is download the zip file, extract the HTC_IME_hi.apk to your sd card and install with a file manager (linda, or something that supports reinstalling for future installs).

Special note, if you have not already installed v22 or higher, I highly suggest you read Jonasl's thread here for important information regarding this keyboard. You will need to re-enable and completely reconfigure this keyboard after installing (only if you haven't already done v22+).

One last note, there is a new hi res Clicker.apk available too. I have not included it in these downloads, you will need to get that from the official HTC_IME Mod download if you haven't already! Update: or get it here -> Clicker_hi.zip

v24 links removed because v25 is now available in the kitchen, screenshots represent some of the many themes you can create there!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] marra2:
Thankyou so much all working perfectly !
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Eclair~:
Oh thanks for this, I definetly don't like Metamorph - so this was a life saver. Well not really a life saver, more like a life enhancer lol..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ehsan021:
Great job thanks .
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] trillonometry:
I know this is an htc forum but is there any way you can throw an update.zip of v18 for us droid users? The candidate bar is broken on v19 for droid but it worked on 18... if you can do it would you make it the black with white text theme? This would be much appreciated! Keep up the great work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Sure thing, I don't want to maintain to many old versions going forward, but this one is the most frequently downloaded one, and it sounds like Jonasl isn't going to get us a new version real soon (i could be mistaken tho).

I'll try to get it posted here in the next 30 mins or so.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] trillonometry:
Actually im a fool... with the candidate bar on v19 you can long press and dragit to the correct position so don't bother. I read This aafter I posted and gave it a try and voila. Seems like a lot of Droid users didn't read the entire OP like me. Thanks for the quick response. Hope I caught you before you wasted any time!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Hahah I almost suggested you try that, but wasn't sure if this was different bug.

Glad you got it sorted, no time wasted here!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] philsfan:
I'm still having problems with installing the themes...I tried all 3 methods you posted, everything installed with no problems or errors...however, when I go to a text screen (sms, for example) I click on the input area and the keyboard just doesn't pop up at all, nothing. Any explanation for this? I don't understand why I can't get this to install properly. I'm convinced it has to do with my rom, jrummy's desire remix on koush's cyanogenmod
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
It must. Have you been able to install the un-themed keyboard from Jonasl? If that is the case, I have absolutely no idea why these wouldn't work. They are identical to the APKs he produces just with my theme changes.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Talderon:
These themed versions work like a charm on stock N1.

I extracted the APK, installed with ASTRO. Just to be safe, I uninstalled previous version. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Glad to hear!! I assumed they would, but had no way to test it (short of nanding and flashing back to an unrooted stock rom of course).

Thanks for letting me know!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] marra2:
just tried the htc ime apk on wifes stock n1 and no joy also tried installing the clicker apk too and still nothing !
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Which install method did you try????

For stock I would recommend option 3 with astro file manager or similar.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] marra2:
I used option 3 with astro go to choose input method and it only gives me android keyboard option ? rebooted phone too just to make sure .
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stlcity:
Thanks bro for the update.zip. I had almost given up on flashing the penguins skin as I could not get MM to do it no matter what I tried. Anyway this method worked. Have the keyboard themed with penguins. :)

quick question: if I install a new ROM and wipe data prior to that will I have to apply this again? If so can I do this directly without installing the orginal HTC keyboard? Thanks again.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I *think* either on stock firmware and/or first time you run it you have to actually enable it first. Try going to settings, language and keyboard, and see if you have touch input that you can either check mark to enable or go into for settings, then try to set it as your input type.

Yes you will have to apply it again, and yes you can go straight to my pre-themed keyboards (by flashing, pushing, installing, however you want!).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] marra2:
that did it thanks very much

Hi, gIMpSTa,

Thanks for your excellent theme,

Could you make a theme base on original Nexus One Android Keyboard color. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I gotta be honest, i'm not 100% sure what that looks like anymore :) but I'll see if I can add the images to the library (explained in next post...)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Testers needed!

The reason I've been slower at posting requests lately is about to come clear!

I have created an "online kitchen" of sorts for creating custom skinned, signed, HTC_IME high and low res apk files. This means you guys can very easily create your own skins and customize the ones I've created!

What is this?

A website you can visit on your computer or directly from your phone that will let you a> create a custom skinned keyboard based off of any of the images currently in the library (various colored keys, backgrounds, etc) with whatever text color you want and b> customize existing "skins" (will be known as "presets") however your heats desire.

Currently, it should be considered very beta. All the features that are here should be working 100%.

Why beta, that sounds scary?

It's beta for a couple of reasons, 1 because it's currently UGLY as sin (concentrated on features and back end first) and 2 because I'm actively working on it which means it could break at any time.

What is the point of this?

Besides the fact that you can now customize the hell out of the way your keyboard looks, it drastically reduces the amount of work I have to do in the future. Currently, i'm uploading 46 pre-themed apk files for every single update. While this isn't really a big deal since I automated the process, it slows down how quickly I can put up updates. With this new method, all I have to do is upload the original unthemed keyboard apk and classes.dex for each new version and my work is done!

Everything else:

If you select a preset, you will still be asked to choose each portion of the keyboard (background, buttons, text color etc). The image with the yellow background around it (you'll see what I mean) is the default "piece" for the preset.

One last thing, depending on server load it could take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes to generate the keyboard. Most of the time I suspect it will be < 1 minute tho.

I don't mind if you use this to generate a keyboard and include it with something (theme/morph) or post it somewhere, just give due credit :)

URL for HIGH RES online kitchen: http://www.gimpsta.com/themer/

URL for LOW RES online kitchen: http://www.gimpsta.com/themerlo/

Current feature list:

Start from a "preset" (any of my current themes) and change any component of it.

Choose any of my current backgrounds

Choose any of my current primary/function key styles

Choose any of my current "symbol sets"

Choose any of my current space bar logo/images

Upload your own spacebar logo

Choose any color text for letters and alternate characters

Built in bug reporting/feature requests (for new image sets, for example)

Choose any color for background image

Preview keyboard before generating it

Option to see/reuse all skins you have generated

Option to see/reuse last 25 skins anyone has generated

Choose any color for symbol sets

SO EXCITING!!!! I wanted to break the news badly ppl but couldn't!!

EDIT: Ok so I just baked a theme!! Worked slick as **** with adb install -r *path*... Been wanting to mix oil slick w/ the redsox theme for awhile but seems you all have been bombarding @gIMpSTa with requests I figured mine (being a friend) would get pushed off....Well the time has come, I just baked it myself!!! Screenies below!! Oh ya one last thing, no server load so mine baked in <20 seconds.....SIIICK

Thanks a lot, gIMpSTa :)

Attached here with how it looks like the original Android keyboard color and layout :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Ohhhh yes. I'll grab the images and upload em to the "library." will be easy one to make.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sh0ebox:
Sounds pretty sweet! I'm definitely willing to test it out if I can provide any help for you, since you've been so gracious to put together these themes for us :)

This is a great idea btw, kudos to you for that one!

edit: found it! lol :-)

but nothing is happening when i click on custom image

The code is in place, I just ran out of steam before I enabled it for all users. You will be able to in the morning. :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] qvert:
what kind of image should it be?

.png with transparent background? and which high/width?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
It checks on upload to make sure and ill post this on the upload screen too.

Png with transparent background

No more then 100kb

No more then 100px wide by 62 px high

Personally, I try to keep the content of the image (logo for example) around 50px high, but as long as overall dimensions don't exceed you'll be good.

thats why it is beta i think

to hear suggestion to improve thinks

Excellent work so far, sir :) Made a few skins just to test, and it appears to be top notch. I hope a custom key skin color would be allowed as well :)

I must say ty for doing this. thx to you i didnt go to bed until 2 am trying this thing out lol. Big ty again. Attach is a Screenshot of the best looking one i made... all it needs is an FSU logo and it will perfect :P.

(Suggestion) As someone stated earlier, it will be nice if the Symbols will have more color options. Any way it can't be done the same as when choosing the letters colors?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Thank you thank you!

I'll try to add the keys to the library tonight (should be all you need)

Thanks :)

I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle this. Not sure if I want to allow uploading of custom symbol sets or if I should just bang out 10-15 base colors and add requests as they come. I'll try to make a decision on this later.

I'm not sure how to handle this one either. The key files are .9 patched png images, they need to be formatted very specifically in order to work correctly. If anyone here wants to take on the challenge of making some more images for me to use as keys (only 1 image technically required as I can use 1 for all the "key files", but it needs to be .9 patched CORRECTLY) I'll certainly add them to the library (and I will still be taking requests, so I'll add more colors as I have time).

I've got a couple ideas floating around in my head to allow changing the color of the symbols on the fly, but I'm not sure how it'll work. At the very least I'll be adding some more choices before I give this my "seal of approval" and add it to first post.
