Yesterday I met up with Anderson King who is in charge of the development of Creatouch™,
an application that allows the user to personalize the home screen of their Sony Ericsson Android phone,
to talk about how Creatouch™ works and how it links to Creations™.

http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/developerworld/tag/creatouch-creations-sony-ericsson-android-x10/
[XPERIA X10 General] McKebapp:
Japp.. within that article, they're just talking about wallpapers...
[XPERIA X10 General] kud0s:
You're confusing a theme and a wallpaper.

Themes change colors/fonts of menus etc. wallpaper us just a background, which I would hope you already know you can customize.
[XPERIA X10 General] Udonitron:
Install Home ++ in the Android Market. It is a full theme and a damn good one! Plus it has a new task killer that works better than any other ones. Loving it!
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
I'm not confusing anything.

You can change the wallpaper now without any Creatouch.

By "Creatouch™, an application that allows the user to personalize the home screen" i understand something else but well, we will see.

Hahahahah, still laughing quite hard here.

Not so sure about yourself anymore are you? Creatouch is probably the most useless app ive seen on android yet.

AND STILL no option to change the theme (Well into android 2.1 - )

Anyway thanks again for the laugh.

Hahah

You dragged up a thread from May to say that?

Picture of class, you are.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Ok I have seen a lot of confusion over the months regarding the LCD Panel fitted to the Kaiser, I will attempt to answer most of these issues here.

Hardware: The kaiser series is fitted with a 2.8 inch 240x320 TFT LCD panel, which means that it 240 pixels wide by 320 pixels deep, the optimum density of this LCD panel is 143 Pixels per Inch.

Resolution: This refers to the screen resolution that the Operating System will use to display on the LCD panel, the 3 most common being 240x320, 320x428 and 320x480, the reason this is possible is that the OS is capable of fooling the display into using the fixed 240x320 panel to display more pixels, ( it does not really have more pixels, it just looks like it).

DPI: DPI or Dots Per Inch, also known as Density, and correctly known as PPI or Pixels Per Inch, this refers to the number of pixels the screen displays in a One Inch Square on the screen. As I noted above, the actual PPI of the LCD panel is 143 PPI, this is fixed by the hardware, and cannot really be changed, however since the LCD is software driven, it can be persuaded to look as if it is displaying more or less pixels in that same area.

Panel Type: This refers to the actual LCD panel fitted to your device, there are 3 types fitted to the Kaiser series, one manufactured by Sony, the other two by Topoly. While the 3 different types of panel are functionally identical, they differ at the electronic level. On Windows Mobile this difference can be detected by the OS, however on Android this is not possible, so the panel type must be set in the parameters passed to the kernel at boot time, either in default.txt when booting from SD, or hardcoded in the NBH when booting from Nand. Also there is no easy way of telling which panel type is fitted to any given Kaiser, since the panel type was chosen by HTC depending on price and availability and stock at the time of manufacture, so any model of Kaiser can have any of these types fitted.

The main problems encountered with the display are usually solved by changing the Panel Type, either by editing default.txt, or reflashing the correct NBH, ( note that you can also edit the kernel parameters of an NBH using a Hex Editor, however this would be a relatively advanced method, since an error could cause major issues).

Changing screen resolution and density: As noted above there are 3 main resolutions used, 240x320, 320x428 and 320x480. These easy to change either by editing default.txt, or flashing an NBH, depending on how you run Android, resolution is usually a personal choice. Density is not as easy to change, although Rogue Tools by Myn, (available in Market, and discussed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=667581), is excellent for this purpose, there are various common PPI settings, and again mostly personal choice, a little experimentation with resolution and density will allow you to find what you prefer.

Hope this helps clear things up a little :)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] bandur:
vertical lines issue

just to add to the above: the vertical lines issue some have is related to choosing the wrong panel type. Chosing the correct one will solve the problem.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Dark-Side:
Wrong panel make errors display, ok! But Can it lead to additional consumption of the battery?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
I suspect it may, since display errors such as vertical streaks, pixel errors, colour issues etc are actually caused by a mismatch between the OS drivers and the actual physical electronics, and it's possible that the panel may demand more power than it would normally, I'd have to bench test this to be sure, but it's probably easier just to use the correct panel type setting.

The correct panel type should lead to a 'normal' demand on the battery.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Dark-Side:
I use panel 2... I go to use panel 3 to test this. panel 1 make for me pixel errors. I'll report here.

Thank you

EDIT: no difference between panel 2 or 3 on my kais130
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ggoogle:
Thanks! That helps a lot.

I havd a thought, which is to change a physical LCD panel for my kaiser, HVGA or VGA... Is that possible? I would look into some electronic files later...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Maranevim:
i guess that our chip has max resolution only 320x240 so no higher resolution :(

but as I look in the pdadb.net there are some devices with higher resolution and same chipset as ours so perhaps it is possible :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
It is unlikely to be possible to use another panel, since there are a lot of differences with the interface, it's not just the chipset, but how it's wired, plus higher resolution panels may need extra address lines which are not present in our kaisers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
For those of you experimenting with LCD Density settings. You may wish to try the following density settings.

100

121

144

169

196

Remember, pixels are square, so the density settings should reflect this, also the extreme ends of this table are just that, extreme ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
density 106 works very well with 240x320 if the build is designed for 320x480. I'm using that on the CyanogenMod port. Haven't tried it with other builds though. I did try 107 once with another build but that did not turn out very well.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
106? that should really look a little blurry, but I think it depends on the resolution that the build was designed for, however I think I'd find it a little small personally, have you tried 100? it should look clearer than 106, although I have noticed that some people just prefer a certain density regardless of the actual mathematically 'correct' one.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] AnomynousPierson:
So how do I detect which panel in winmo?

I don't like the idea of just stabbing blindly in the dark and hoping I get it right. :P
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Basically? Stab in the dark, there is no way in wm or android to know which type is fitted, type 2 seems most common, and is usually a 'safe' default, if the graphics/colours are wrong, you probably have type 1, if you have issues waking from sleep then you probably have type 3. So try panel 2 first.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] someguy124:
I'm running Android on my HTC Tilt and am using panel 2. I tried panel 1 and the colors were off so Panel 2 seems good.

But the problem I am having is that when I open up the dialer, it doesn't fit correctly on the screen, the bar which shows which numbers you have entered covers up the numbers 1,2,3 and the sides are cropped.

Everything else seems to be fine why is the dialer messed up?

Should I try changing density its at default right now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jessfortress:
I personally like to use 110, but every time I open detail application on Market, it gave me force close. Facebook for Android does that too (I mean FC) whenever I open detail message or upload picture from gallery.. I've tried 106, 104 and 100 and still having the same problem.. it's not happening when I use 120 for density, everything seems work properly normal.. is that common or I have to do something to fix that problem?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Thats not normal behaviour for market, although it has been known to be a little flakey on some builds, however this is unlikely to be related to lcd density, since density only affects the visual appearance of the screen, not the OS itself.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] stajan:
Which Panel?2 or 3?

Am using HTC Tytn II and recently i tried almost all Android builds(donut,eclair,froyo) on my device.panel 1 shows some pixel errors and panel 2 and 3 makes no big difference for me, both settings showing a white flash screen on wake up!:mad:

and panel 3 i feel little smudge,not sure.panel 2 wake up with white flash screen and follows by grains(just like noisy TV screen).All these for two seconds.after that TYTN II behave normally.Any body can help me please?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
As previously stated, panel 2 is the most common of all.

As for the white flash and grainy display, this is due to the fact that we have to "fake v-sync" in order to display anything on our screens. Remember, Android was not designed for our Kaisers, but developers got it to run, piece by little piece, really well on our devices. There will always be drawbacks to this as the hardware doesn't really meet the requirements of what Android was developed for.

If you want to see whats going on when you have a white screen or snow, slide the keyboard open and press "Fn-left softkey". this brings up a screen that shows you what Android is doing.

To return to the main screen, press "Fn-right softkey".

Hope this helps...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
To those of you who are using the OFFICIAL Google N1 car dock...

More specifically, to those of you who used it for longer periods of time (1hr+) on the dashboard, in the sun..

I know the dock will get really hot, but what about the N1? It's hard to see on the dock pics, does the dock cover the phone completely from the sun? It does look kinda enclosed, so does that help N1 to stay cooler or the opposite, doesn't allow it to air-cool?

I'll be making long roadtrips, using N1 navigation, and I worry about it getting too hot, and thus damaging the battery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaximReapage:
At least when you're using navigation, you only really have to worry about the GPS connection, as the 3G idles once it's cached the route (which I'm sure you know already anyway). My phone does get fairly warm when I'm using navigation + playing music for extended amounts of time, but not to the point where I'm worried about it. If you're gonna be driving for a LONG time, and don't mind the inconvenience, you can see if it still works with the battery removed, that way there's no question as to whether or not it's damaging the battery....or you could go for one of those 2 batteries for $20 deals on ebay and slam in a battery you don't care about.

TL;DR version - yes it gets pretty warm but not too bad, use spare batteries for peace of mind
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
Thanks for the good advice.

However, I want to know about the google car dock and how hot does the phone get while in the sun.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
My battery hit 53C (or 127F) while I'm on GPS, Pandora, and the car dock positioned under the sun. I have no doubt it'll kill your battery. But I'm not worried since a spare battery is only $25. Cheaper on eBay I'm sure. At the rate I'm going I'll be surprised to get a year's worth of charging cycles on my current battery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
i took a 2 hour road trip, using navigation the whole time. pulled the phone out of the dock once i reached destination, and didn't think it felt hot at all.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
It gets pretty hot for me too. The best thing you can do is use SetCPU and set up a profile so when it reaches a certain temperature have it down clock the processor.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
SetCPU is not a good solution for me due to several reasons.

I was mostly wondering if the "enclosing" type of dock (the one that covers the phone completely) will keep the phone cooler, or the opposite, allow it to build up heat... that's basically the question..

I have a chinese one-size-fits-all dock that works, but most of the N1 is open to direct sun. Which I don't like.. hence, this thread.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saint327:
Turn on your ac and activate the windshield defroster vent. That will keep the air temp around the device much cooler than it otherwise would be.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
mmm... Yeah.. I guess putting my N1 into a zip-lock bag and drowning it in liquid nitrogen would help too..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wick12345:
it gets really hot but not hot enough to damage anything
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
Thanks.. That's a shame..

Technically, phone doesn't care that much, it's the battery. LiIon batteries hate heat, they degrade in heat pretty fast.

That makes me reconsider buying the google car dock =(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh_lorax:
If your $25 battery dies in a year and a half, rather than two years, does it really matter?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
Actually, frequent prolonged heat will destroy LIB pretty damn fast, about twice as fast as when in room temperature.

Oh and my second official battery was free, I called google and they sent me one for free.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
WOW! Did you just call them up and say that the battery isn't charging or something? Did you have to send the other battery back? Would be nice to get a free battery! Which toll-free number did you call?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deim:
We had a fairly hot sunny weather last week, it was almost +35C (95F), I had running Waze (nav), Online Radio, and 30 minutes later - got a phone call (phone was paired to car's BT). Well, Nexus crashed, or, more precisely - hang. I had to remove battery to revive it. Nexus was HOT! I mean - so hot, that it was painful to hold it in my hand!

Btw, idea to turn on a window defroster would not work well in my car - defrost is available only in 2 modes: 1) defrost only 2) defrost+feet warming. So, it is either nexus or me sweating :-)

I am trying to think of adding a small fan at the back of google car dock. Shouldn't it help a bit?!

Another idea friend gave me - to use an aluminum duct tape, and stick it to the back side of the dock to create a reflective layer to protect from sun. I like it, will try today.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
I guess other drivers will love it when you blind them ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deim:
Well, it's not brighter then the reflection from windshield or headlights :)

But now I think that this thing not gonna help. Found couple discussions on Nexus support forum. Apparently, the problem is not about sun, but more related to the hard charging by the dock. Looks like that instead of regular 1A of current as desktop changer use, car dock is pushing 2A.

If that is the reason, then the only solution to overheating problem would be to not connect a power line, converting a dock into a primitive $55 phone holder.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walliester:
same here i got a free battery from htc cause i am still in the one year warranty, i just told them that when i use to charge the battery to 100% it goes down to 82% percent in less than 10 minutes that's what i told them and they said that if i was using wifi or gps and i told nope ...so they send me a new battery i am still using the old battery ..and have a new one just in case......just make sure u don't even think about telling them your phone is rooted...or was cause you wont get jack.....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D200P13:
if your worried about the battery heating up do what others say and just buy an extra battery. im sure it gets fairly hot. i live in texas and is also something that worries me but i will still buy this car doc but place it in an area that the son will not hit it. lots of alt locations for me that will be in good eye location.

I was on here all day trying to find a combination that works and so far I have found none...Can anyone help me out with the right combination of files?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] mackdaddy09:
the error message is

[4.002655] mmcI: error -22whilst initialising SDIO card

and also the GEN.Y duelboot says the android is missing.

I am using the ATT FUZE stock att rom
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Just dump all the files in the AIO package at the root of the SD... no need for a "right combination of files". Granted, there's daily updates on the kernel (zImage) and almost daily updates on the rootFS, but those are just that - updates. Some are better than others, but I just try to stay up to date and grab the newest every time I run Android. If Gen.y said Android is missing you probably have it inside a folder or something... this really isn't the Gen.y support area tho.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] mackdaddy09:
thats what i did...do my sd chip need to be formatted a certain way?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well, FAT32 and no partitions (well, one partition I guess would be the proper way to say that :P). I think they may have got the partitioning issue sorted, but I'm not sure - to be safe, I'd just run a card with only 1 partition.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] mackdaddy09:
its still showing the same error message from above
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
I already stated this is not the support section for Gen.y. I can help with issues with Android, but unless you're testing with a regular WinMo ROM and Android, I really can't help.

My point being, I just double click on haret.exe and it works. Gen.y launches Android on its own, and I have no clue. It seems like an issue with Gen.y, you need to go talk to them.
