Hi,

Is it possible to change sense such that when you use the manilla slider, instead of the dark opaque screen you are at with the icon of where the slider is, to have the home backround, empty, with just the icon of the slider position?

I don't know if this makes sense, if not I can try to make a screenshot with this idea when I get home today.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
I'm wondering if I could fit a Brodit holder to my motorbike and mount my N1 on it?

Any thoughts?

If it rained, would my N1 be in danger? It would be real easy for me to pull over, remove it and put it in my pocket. What danger would there be to the Brodit holder, would I need a little cap to go over the 'socket'?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moto1907:
You should be good as long as you tuck it up under the windscreen, maybe right above the gauges. Shouldn't get wet at all right there while riding and very very little while sitting still for those brief moments. What kind of motorbike? i was thinking Sportsbike but on a tourer it should still be ok. Let me know what you come up with because i was looking to do something of the same.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
Yeah, I have a tourer, Honda Varadero. I'm not sure there would be space under the screen... Hmm. Maybe I'll get a pic of the dash area tomorrow and we can brain storm.

Brodit do these -

But they're £37!

Then you attach this to it -

But that's another £35!

That would have to be pretty near the handle bars, which wouldn't be very well covered by the screen when stationary.

I have heard of people doing this though and just putting a sandwich bag over it if rain starts...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r34p3rex:
A few drops of rain won't harm it, just make sure you put it away if it starts pouring :p I've used my nexus in the rain before and haven't had any problems
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moto1907:
Nice piece, for sure get a shot of the dash area and lets see what we can come up with. I'll start messing with it on my 750 to see if i can come up with something here. I would definaltly want it behind the screen some kind of way. I wouldn't want a bug or rock smacking it at 100k or more ya know.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
Right, here's the picture. On the right is the 'glove box' that I'm hoping to get a cig lighter wired into, so even if I don't get it mounted, I can charge my N1 from it.

The mount on the middle left is for my Zumo SatNav, but of course, if I get a decent option for my N1, I can do away with that.

I guess, in theory, there's some decent real estate just to the left of the speedo (the left dial) but it curves away, so I would need a clever way to mount it facing back inwards slightly.

Given that I don't mind paying £30+ for a Brodit holder, which I assume could be wired neatly, direct to the battery, that will screw onto pretty much any flat surface that will hold a screw...

Ideas?

**EDIT** Here's a thought. The Brodit holder is mounted on a ball joint pivot thingy... which means I could attach it direct to the facia and just twist it back in? How firm is that plastic do you think though, maybe a rivet gun would be best instead of screws?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pashax1:
I am on my second X1 phone and both phones when new had the option available for a "Blank Note" along with others (Meeting notes, Memo, Phone Memo and To Do) in the notes application. However the "Blank Note" option mysteriously disappeared after a few days on both the phones. It could be some installed application interfering with Notes but i haven't installed any application that has anything to do with the Notes application. And, in anycase rest of the templates are there and Notes appliation works fine as such without the blank note template. I recall missing the Blank Note template today after i went to "Global input Options" from the Notes Option menu. Is there a file or way to bring the "Blank Notes" option back? I've searched this and couple of forums but seems there's no similar problem reported elsewhere.

Another thing i've noticed is that the sorting order always initiates by "Name" and i have to select Sort by "date" everytime i open the notes application. Is this the same with everyone else??
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draken Korin:
hi

extracted those from my current rom, located under \My Documents\

should do to just extract the archive there (it's the complete Templates folder)

hope it helps :)

cheers
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pashax1:
This is interesting...!!! I have all the files you sent in the templates folder and quite a few more as well!!! In my own Templates folder there seem to be templates for Excel and Word while others definately look like to be linked to the templates available in Notes application. These are *.pwi files that correspond to each of the *.dotx file (which i dont see in the Templates folder you sent me!!! ... strange!?!?). Did you leave out the .pwi files yourself from the templates folder you sent me??? Because what i think is that this is the missing link. I have all the .pwi files (Meeting notes.pwi, Memo.pwi, Phone memo.pwi and To Do.pwi) in my Templates folder EXCEPT "Blank.pwi". I think if i can get this "Blank.pwi" file then the option for a Blank Note should appear in Notes application. This also drives me to question you if you have the "Blank note" option available in your phone running Notes application??

If anyone else who has Blank note option available in his/her Notes application send me a copy of his/her Templates folder under My Documents, that will be great. Meanwhile i will try to create a blank note manually by deleting everything in an available note and try copying the note file in Templates folder as "Blank.pwi".

Edit: IT WORKED!!! I just copied an empty note file in the Templates folder, named it Blank.pwi and Viola..., the option for a blank note now appears in the Default Template option in Notes application. Thanks DrakenKorin for introducing me to the Templates folder :). Does this mean i can create other templates as well?!?!? :cool:
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pashax1:
Just a correction... all the notes template *.pwi files were in the folder that DrakenKorin sent. I just wasn't able to see them on my PC as it was hidding System files from me. So simply copy pasting DrakenKorin's Template folder should work as well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dionysis:
Hi,

I can't seem to stop my phone from reminding me of my appointments.

In the list of times I can set to remind me of my appointments there is no option to stop reminding me of my appointments.

I asked this same question in different forums and people said explained me that the top option in the times list is : "none"

In my HTC Desire the top option is "5 minutes"

Is this some sort of bug in some android phones or is there an alternative option to stop my phone from constantly reminding me of every appointment?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] CyberWalrus:
Hi all! this is my first bootscreen, designed for use with any VillainROM version.

I know you really just want to see the bootscreen, and dont really care what I say, so heres a preview:

first animation:

Looping animation:

Thanks a lot to phaelox, who made the zip attached for you to flash, without him, this bootscreen wouldnt work!

I made this bootscreen because I felt that villainROM is so good it seserves its own bootscreen, and I im kina sick of the nexus one boot :p

Hope everyone likes it, If you want a version with a custom tagline, or have any ideas for a bootscreen that you would like to see, just ask and I will get back to you.

This bootscreen took quite a while to make (photoshop + gifs = frustration)

and was more fiddly than I though it would be, So all thanks are MUCH appreciated
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
Nice one. Will see about getting this added to the Online Kitchen as an option :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] CyberWalrus:
Thanks! that would be really great, didnt expect that!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] hamstermerc:
Wow i love it, just about to try and flash it. Stylish little addition to an already great ROM. Good job.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
did it work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] CyberWalrus:
Well, ive just updated to the latest villainRom, and flashed that same zip again, and it works, so i presume it is ok. I know it wont work on not sense based 2.1 roms, because they have there bootscreen in a different place. However, due to the VillainROM branding on the bootscreen, i dont imagine that will be a problem :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tristan202:
I have made one just like yours, that I'm thinking of using with my theme, if that's ok with you.

Wait for the entire animation to load. It'll run more smoothly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] CyberWalrus:
Looks nice, but will need heavilly optimising, notice how mine loads quick? thats cause the gif is really small. Cut down the colour pallate, dithering to max in photoshop "save for web and devices" leave it as it is and it will stutter badley on your hero, and may not even manage ro run properly before the phone boots...

Still, I dont mind you using my concept, I would like to see everyone elses creations!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tristan202:
Firstly, I don't use Photoshop to make my bootscreens. Secondly, I know how to optimize them. I have made mine as bootanimation.zip, as they tend to run smoother than the gifs, and it run perfectly on my Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
Nice work Tristan :)

I would listen to Tristan he knows what he is doing!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] jusumgeezer:
sorry wrong thread. Moved
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] masterpfa:
Hi

tristan202 is there a guide on how to create these boot screens, I was looking to play around with one or two such as the HTC Quietly Brilliant. Would it involve re-signing a bootanimation zip? (I have managed to find a few from other ROMS)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Orionscrest:
Tried flashing this to Villian 4beta2 but it's not coming up. I noticed that my bootscreen files are in a bootanimation.zip and are all .png files, whereas this is gif in a directory.

Any help here would be hot :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] ddotpatel:
Have a read through this thread --> [BOOTSCREEN REQUEST] - Stargate "Puddle" Effect

PHAELOX basically ended up giving me step by step instructions on creating bootscreen update.zip's from .gif files. If your using .gif files from other bootscreens, I assume you can skip the Adobe Fireworks stuff.

EDIT...... PHAELOX has done a [HOW TO] Make your own bootscreen and create signed zip
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] ddotpatel:
Is that an Android 2.1 ROM?...

Take a look here --> [Boot Animation]Android Supernova v0.9
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Orionscrest:
I've already got that one on my Hero right now lol.

Just found it a little strange that a boot screen made for VillianROM doesn't work on it. Trying to convert it myself but most of the tutorials regarding boot screens that I find contain information on using gifs. Anyone able to help me find one for a 2.1 boot screen?

Thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] ddotpatel:
Im sorry, im not someone who can help you with this one,... TRISTAN202 and PHAELOX are the guys with the know-how,....

PHAELOX has converted a G1 bootscreen to the Hero so he'd be able to do what you want,.... go here --> [Bootscreen] Android Supernova for Hero ... and ask nicely, Im sure he'd be willing to help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Mehumummo:
Love it!

Maybe not as smooth as official VillainROM bootscreen (strange jump between begin and looping animation), but definetly way way more cooler ;)

(Those candyblue colors are just disgusting..)

Maybe better one to compare would be Supernova. Well this wins, but barely because this is not as smooth.

Please make it smooth and it will rule 'em all :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] franeti1978:
Hi!

I have installed this file, and doesn´t run... nothing new happens...

Must I install something other than this file? I have Villainrom 12.0.0...

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2500726:
This was for older VillainROMs if it should work for VillainROM 12 there would need to be made a new flashable zip;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] CyberWalrus:
Well, noticing that this thread has been dug up again, I will try to convert this bootscreen to work with villain 12, stay tuned! (and to the person who said there is a stutter between the first animation and the second, i dont remember there being when I made it, are you talking about a version someone has converted?)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] sajseven:
I can see what he means.

From the end of the text all appearing to the rays of light appearing in the background, there is a slight "jump", where the text seems to grow slightly in height, like the line-height was slightly raised.

Doesn't look like a difficult problem to fix? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] CyberWalrus:
Ah yes, I can see that now, pretty stupid of me. Ill get round to redoing this eventually, for villainROM 12, and perfect. Maybe different colours as well
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] sajseven:
Sounds like you're onto a winner. Good job! :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] :
Woah I LOVE this bootscreen, I'll be flashing it as soon as it's out!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] TheChemist187:
You did good kid. Maybe you have the andriod eat the apple or something like that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] GodsDead:
Looks cool, so does this not work on VillainRom 12? Im new to themes and bootscreens, so im wary on flashing just yet, can i not just copy/paste the system folder over to my Phone using a file manager?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] doublen1:
Awesome! Somebody make this for WVGA winmo. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] katun79:

I love It!!!

Please make a live wallpaper also, or you will force us all to reboot many times a day! :D

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] factualpuddle:
great bootscreen for a great ROM =]
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] factualpuddle:
hmmm, flashed it and it still starts with my old custom bootscreen... and ideas what i may have done wrong..?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] :
What ROM you using?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] factualpuddle:
FroydVillain 1.4.4, the bios one works, and this one doesn't-.-;
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Awt67:
It would be cool to have a bootscreen thats goes with my ROM of choice

Tagline Cyanogen Dominates Apple
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] zidaneff9:
As i know that touch pro is not only can be touched on the screen but also the hard button area ( home, back, call, hang up buttons)

How can i use that feature

Which software that i need to install or how can i active it

Thank for reading my topic
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TomasNM:
What do you want exactly? Do you want to remap hardware buttons?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Maggot #7:
the hardware buttons are enabled by default. you don't have to 'activate' them. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] zidaneff9:
No! My point is how can i use the sensor of hardware button ^^
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TomasNM:
Well,did you mean to use the capacitive surface of those sensors,not the buttons itself? And what exactly do you want? Please explain.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mare123:
google for "G-scroll"
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] zidaneff9:
My point is

Instead of pushing down the 4 hard buttons (call, back, home, hang off) i just need to touch it on the surface?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
You can buy gscroll (mobilesrc.com), but unless you can get the 1.x series, I'd pass. The 2.x series is buggy as hell, and it seems like development has stopped. There are some free apps you can find around here as well. I'm thinking Dredscroll is one, and there was another app called Butler (I think, lol) that allowed you to use it as a launcher with gestures on the area. Gscroll lets you swipe to scroll (it's good for reading ebooks, when it's working) as well as to launch things, but it has the annoying habit of going on smoking breaks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TomasNM:
As I know HTC testing software,I can say,it could not be a problem to create an app of this kind,but...

- Do we have SDK for it(I didin't searched for it yet)?

- Currently I don't know,how to send keyboard hooks to the system

- I cannot prevent/disable default keyboard hooks

So that means,I am not able to solve your puzzle. Sorry.

That was my honest opinion...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Agent Zach:
I don't think he's asking about the Vibrant-Scroll Wheel, I think he's talking about the Optical Track, itself.

[As the Home, Back, Answer, & End Call buttons require you to actually PUSH them down.]

You know, the "OK/Enter" button. When you place you finger on it [NOT PRESS IT], by default, it lights up the Bottom Hardware Keys, as well as brightens the screen.

If it's not working for you, I recommend Backing up your Important Information with either SPB Backup or Microsoft MyPhone, and flashing a New ROM. There are certain Drivers that control the Optical Track. What they are, however, is beyond me.

[Windows Mobile Themes] NeverGone\RU:
Looks very good, thank you for your work! :)

Do I understand right, this theme is for WVGA (480x800) screen resolution?
[Windows Mobile Themes] joshoon:
Actually im not really sure, but I have a WVGA phone, and I use it, so I think it's for WVGA, but you can always try it on other resolutions, and tell me how it is like.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
Thanks dude. Maybe a few SS showing what the highlight (selection item) looks like and the scrollbars would help other visualize it better before installing. Either way, good stuff.
[Windows Mobile Themes] joshoon:
Thanks for the hint man, I added some more screenshotsi n thumbnail section. (I deleted the big ones from the post).
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
Perfect! And the entire theme is really great and professional looking.:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] santino405:
This is a great theme, one problem i've found though is the highlight color of the theme is blue. You can see this by opening up the default windows picture viewer. Another issue is that when a button is disabled it appears to have a blueish tint to it and doesn't go well with the rest of the theme. other than that this is great and is exactly what i was looking for running a 6.5.x theme and sense.
[Windows Mobile Themes] joshoon:
Yes I know about the blue stuff, because that's still a standard theme, I didnt found out yet how to edit .tsk files, but I will found out as soon as possible, and then I will change the blue color to a different color that fits =)

Anyways, thanks for the good comment :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] taox:
I like your theme, thank you very much.
[Windows Mobile Themes] joshoon:
Good to hear :D

Update is coming soon =)
[Windows Mobile Themes] joshoon:
Hmm, I tried to find a software to edit the .tsk fille, but no succes, I can´t find a right one.
[Windows Mobile Themes] santino405:
I've opened the tsk by changing the file extension into a cab, then opened up the cab and edited the right files to change the highlight color, but i can't seem to figure out how to package it back into a cab :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] joshoon:
Sounds good, you changed it into kinda black?

Anyways, can you upload the tsk for me? then I'll put it into the cab =)
[Windows Mobile Themes] hazeline:
Just a little feedback

Hi, i like the design of your theme, however i am not sure whether a white line floating between the topbar and the today plugin is your design or alignment problem. I have boxed it in red.
[Windows Mobile Themes] joshoon:
Yea I did that line with upset actually, because the bottombar has one also, but that isn't so much visible.

When you are in homescreen with Sense, you dont even see it :P

Anyways... I will delete it soon in a update, update will come in few hours/minits :D

(Highlights arent fixed yet in coming update)
[Windows Mobile Themes] joshoon:
Update

1st post updated ^^
[Windows Mobile Themes] hazeline:
Hey, thats great! Your updates come fast hehe. I am going to give it another spin, great work :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] joshoon:
It was just a simple thing hehe.

There is only one thing that has to be fixed, thats the blue windows colors, like the loadbar when you install things.

I didnt found any way to edit that yet.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Bysio:
And this my work HTCHD MINI for LEO
[Windows Mobile Themes] joshoon:
This isnt the original one right?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Bysio:
Treated for LEO.
[Windows Mobile Themes] joshoon:
Hmm, I dont like it that much actually.

but it isnt too bad also.

The button are a bit unsharp 'n stuff.
[Windows Mobile Themes] santino405:
okay heres what i have. Its a zip, what we need to do is take the contents of the zip and turn it into a cab, then rename it into a tsk. tsk are just cabs and the way i opened it up was by renaming it into a cab and using ervius package creator to open it up. Then i changed the color values to the same as the htc black.tsk so it should hcange the highlight color to the grayish black. but now i dont know how to package the thing back up into cab, to rename it back into a tsk. Hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Themes] joshoon:
Hmmmm, I cant convert it to cab/tsk also =/

What did you ectually changed.

BaseColors? if yes... to what values?
