[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
are you going to be building from source? If so it's just a matter of editing the values in /res/layout-finger/dialpad.xml

This is the same for both eclair and donut builds.

then theme it with whatever png's you like

pretty easy to test after making it just ./adb remount

./adb push contacts.apk /system/app/contacts.apk

Or feel free to take the dialer from my last build, I'm fairly sure that was sized properly for qvga.

Once you understand how the layout files work it's easy to adjust any aosp app to whatever sizes you like.

Something handy, assuming you have your build environment all setup,

mkdir ./vogue

cd vogue

repo init -u git://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/androidhtc/manifest.git -b android21r2

repo sync (wait.. a long time, it's like 2.5gb)

than make
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Alex-V:
big thanks for the info...but i need a little bit more....what editor you use for android xml....

i tried a few but no xml editor work with the file...

can you post your apk...i only have found your eclair buld and if i copy out the dialpad xml it do not work also if i make a androidupdate from the contacts.apk...because of eclair i think

mmhhhh...hope you can help me

edit: also i tried to exclude it from a old *.sqsh system but i can not find a way to extract...

Thanks Alex :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
As I said this is building from the source. You cannot edit an xml that's already been compiled.

My contacts.apk is in my download for my build, just open the androidinstall.tar file and pull it out.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
I was able to edit XML in compiled apk's by using apktools. it baksmali/smali's and recompiles into an APK.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Alex-V:
a nice tool..

Please be patiend be with me....but i´m a german user and its not so easy for me with the commands in this tool...

so can you give me as Example you commandline started with :

That would be wonderful....thanks...Alex

Please be patiend be with me....but i´m a german user and its not so easy for me with the commands in this tool...

That would be wonderful....thanks...Alex
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Place all of the files into a directory including the windows apktool.bat file.

=== To decompile/decode an apk ===

1) place apk in this dir

2) open cmd

3) run apktool.bat d Contacts.apk ./out

4) an out directory will be created

=== To compile/build an apk ===

1) apktool.bat b -f -d out

2) the apk file will be placed into /out/dist/out.apk the translated source will also be in /out/build

You then must sign the apk.

Use AutoSign or RightClick Sign.

With all of this said. I think there may be an issue with the workflow or decode/build process. Please give it a try yourself and see if you get different results. I would love for this to work.

Please read my experience here starting at post 247.

I was actually trying to resize the dialer to work in 240x320 by editing the Contacts.apk in Warm Donut --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=640592&page=25

Nice work :)

So what did you do to get Contacts.apk re-built correctly?

I was having all kinds of problems with apktools and that signing tool.

Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Alex-V:
i follow your instructions...i decode the apk... edit the xml....rebuild the apk...extract the new apk...open your original apk...delete the xml...and add the new...save all....

i need 8 time´s to get the perfect values

The other way... :) :) So i have to say thanks too :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Ahh so you didn't need to sign it? You just used the compiled XML from the rebuilt Contacts.apk and place it into the original apk?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Alex-V:

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone has run in to an application that will do text-to-speech on the notification ticker?

I've found about a billion for SMS but what I really need is Email, Phone, and Calendar TTS to my bluetooth. Seems like if there was an app that just read the ticker I'd be covered.

Thanks,

Hi,

Does anyone know of a way to change what the '+' button at the bottom of the home screen does. At the moment it links to the ad widget/program/shortcut option menu. but once you have your home screen all sweet you don't really need this. You can always just long press on the screen to reach this menu anyway.

I would like to customize this button to launch directly into an application, or perhaps a shortcut to a sound profile context menu.

Any ideas?

Noticed over the past month my upload speed took a dump on AT&T wireless.

I finally confirmed it by getting a sim card out of a friends AT&T data card. With his sim, I can get over 1.5Mbit UPLOAD with the isp.cingular APN, when I switched back to wap.cingular (for smartphones), I can't get above 0.2 Mbit upload.

Please note, DOWNLOAD does not seem to be affected (as much). This is still a real ***** if you want to upload anything at all. I mean it use it pound 1.5 up all day long.

I called AT&T business care and they all but confirmed it, I was given a very dumbed down explanation of "data cards are locking on to a better signal". Translation, wap.cingular APN is now being throttled. I don't think this has been rolled out in all markets yet so YMMV.

I made a post about this on howard forums, but I wanted other AT&T users here to download speedtest.net from the market and confirm, or see what areas are affected.

Those that have access to a data card sim, and can switch to isp.cingular, you're input would be greatly appreciated.

http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1641557&page=1&pp=15

Other notes... no proxy. Switched between isp.cingular and wap.cingular about 5 times to confirm. It's very consistent.

[Nexus One General] ATnTdude:
The issue the OP has is not throttling, but prioritization. Laptop users on isp.cingular have higher priority, so if the cell site is maxed (as almost all AT&T sites are these days) wap.cingular will be slower than isp.cingular, since you're probably the only one on the tower connecting via that APN. The speeds the OP saw on isp came at the expense of crowding out (further throttling) of other users on that tower using wap.

As a bit of extra trivia, if a cell site loses power and is only on battery backup, the wap.cingular APN will be shut down, but isp.cingular and voice will still be active.

[Nexus One General] :
This is exactly what mine, does it's very strange.
[Nexus One General] :
This is the kind of information I am looking for.

I've called AT&T a few times about this issue and sometimes they admit as much, that data cards have get a "better signal" (stupid way to describe it), but today when I called they said data cards did not get priority.

So I'll take this as a confirmation, that wap.cingular users get throttled (deprioritized) for the benefit of data card users (isp.cingular) under congestion related conditions.

Thing that seems weird to me, is this did not use to be the case a month ago, never had issue with wap.cingular and now it's just gone to crap.

I wonder if something really did break and they aren't ware of it. Me calling them certainly hasn't convinced them their is something wrong, if there indeed is, or perhaps we in Salt Lake never got throttled until recently and this is just new policy being rolled out.

I've been doing mine in a few locations between home and work that are all full bars, and was getting consistently 0.2 MBit up regardless of location.

[Nexus One General] ATnTdude:
They really don't. When you complain about data speeds, they're told to apologize and spew the line about the fastest 3G network, and do everything except admit there is a problem. Though, they're encouraged to file a ticket so technical services can check it out.

Call them for sales and billing issues. If you have a service issue have them file a ticket. Don't excpect an answer from Tier 1, they don't know, and while Tiers 2 & 3 will know, they're too busy with problems they can actually fix. For a network issue, they'd have to file a ticket too.
[Nexus One General] ATnTdude:
Aircards do get better signal. Data cards are built with function first, with appearance barely making the list. Cellphones are design with looks first, hence why the stub antenna is long gone, voice second (which is latency, not bandwidth intensive) and data third. All else being equal, a data card will get a better signal and drop fewer packets, therefore increasing usable bandwidth.

Your area might have been surviving just above the crunch point, but either an influx of new users, and increase in usage by existing users, or maintenance reduced capacity enough to make this a significant issue.

They know, they have excellent diagnostic tools. They just might not know how to fix it. They're not going to tell you this, but when they switched on the first half-dozen towers with HSPA 7.2, they all crashed within an hour. Took a week to get them running after they were supposed to be live.

Having said that, which I said just to be spiteful, there is no easy fix for lack of bandwidth. That's the issue. The tower is full, the backhaul is full, or both. Of the finite amount of bandwidth that's usable, aircards get first dibs, since their users are paying twice as much for the same plan your smartphone does.

[Nexus One General] ATnTdude:
Long story short, had an extended power outage about 2 years ago (thank you ComEd). All Mobility employees are given cellphones, COU's in company parlance. A COU line is given unlimited domestic everything (you can get unlimited international services if your job requires it). Relevent to this discussion, that meant unlimited wap service (medianet,PDA connect) via wap.cingular, and laptop connect via the proxyless isp.cingular. the phone I used at the time was a Samsung blackjack, which I still have as a sidenote complete with Cingular branding, and it allowed me to rather easily switch between apns. Wap stopped working the moment power went out. ISP did. Sap did not start back up again until the outage was over, which was 2 days later (again, thank you ComEd)

If you're looking for more than an anectdote, you're not going to get it. They don't publish this kind of information. However, it isn't unreasonable given that emergency responders can be given priority on the voice network (used to be a code you could punch in on your phone until internet asshats that thought their calls were more important than everyone else's, now its provisioned on the account ). One could assume that Eng rspdrs would also need laptops connected to the internet to help coordinate. At least that's my theory, never knew anyone well enough on the network operations side to get a confirmation.

I just want to let you know that AT&T in no way is throttling a certain device. They all perform the same, if all are allowed to. It's your own location that is causing you to have bad upload speeds.

Don't claim that it is the cause of the Nexus One being throttled by AT&T, when you have no facts.

[Nexus One General] deprecate:
Zero issues at home (Seattle - 3.04 down / 1.72 up) or at work (Redmond - 6.41 down / 2.77 up).

I assume this is less of a throttling issue and more of an over subscription issue.
[Nexus One General] :
A little update for those that are curious...

I think I may have found something. There are some of you in this thread that mentioned your upload is also slow so it's something you can try.

What I think might happen when you leave your APN Proxy setting blank, which is the default setting, is that the phone gets a default proxy setting from AT&T, in this case wireless.att.com.

When I changed my Proxy to ".", yes a period with no double quotes, My upload speeds shot through the roof.

A . is not a valid address like wireless.att.com so that potentially blocks the proxy from working.

I tried going back and forth between a blank proxy and a period in that field, and so far, every time I use a period I get greatly improved uploads speeds of 1 Mbit or more (1.6 max so far), and when I set it back to blank, it's going down to .01 - .02 Mbit.

So what's interesting about this, is that when I was testing with the sim card that was provisioned with the isp.cingular APN for the datacard, that APN maybe doesn't use a proxy at all and that's why it was getting such better upload speeds here.

So what this could mean? There is at least some evidence to suggest it is the proxy that is buggered, at least in my area. Disabling it by putting a period in the Proxy field, maybe you can get some upload speed back. Maybe this is also causing a problem for download performance for others as well.

Something I also thought of, is that this could also mean the speedtest.net app is using port 80 and the HTTP protocol thereby running into this slow proxy issue. Other apps not using HTTP over port 80 might not even be affected by this!

I would love for those that were experiencing horribly slow upload, with speedtest.net, to try this little work around and see if it does you an good.

This would also jive with another posters comment about AT&T not prioritizing traffic by device, since in this case, it's the proxy that's causing me an issue.

I can not lock my phone.

When I press the power button to lock the phone, nothing happens, but I can unlock the phone by pressing the very same power button. No problems! Also, at a long-press of the power button, the menu appears as it should.

The only exception is when I do unlock the SIM-card at phone boot. At that time, I am able to lock the phone, but as soon as HTC sense apperas, the ability to lock the phone is gone.

I have tried to hard-reset the phone using the built in feature, but still no luck.
[Hero CDMA General] boredmug:
I unrooted my phone and returned it to stock to send it for replacement after it quit charging.. I hate to say it but 1.5 seems so much smoother than the 2.1 roms i've been using. Hopefully it's just the fact that everything 2.1 is using a test base and not an official release? I know i'll be rooting my replacement and going back to 2.1 when i get it just for the added features, but i was really surprised how well 1.5 ran on my phone. Especially the keyboard... There was no lag and i've been used to lag for a while. Anyone else notice this?
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
I noticed the same thing. Seems 2.1 is just slower no matter what rom I use. I don't think it is optimized as well as 1.5, but that will probably change once the kernel source is released.
