hey! i've asked several devs for this, but no one seems to be able to do it.. i want a black bar with a blue droid logo on it for my G1.. i do NOT want this as a MetaMorph, because i dont have an SDK, adb shell, or anything of the such.. i have my G1 (currently running CM5.0.7Test7), Usb cable, and 4 gb sd card.. and besides that, i'm one of the biggest nOObs you'll ever meet.. the bar should look like this:

http://s10.directupload.net/images/user/100413/vlnyc22k.png

it's from the BlueDark theme for CM.. i HATE the theme, but love the bar.. Cloverdale makes Black bar mods that are just flashable .zip files, and they seem to work fine.. can anyone do this for me? thanks!
[Android Themes] B6gSix:
bro i dnt kno enuff to help u but i can say post a thread or re tittle ur thread to ask for help with doing this yourself. i posted a how to theme guide and got a couple replys with good advice i was lookin for
[Android Themes] robertgibson:
Metamorph is a free app in the market, you download the file (If anyone makes it for you in metamorph) put it on your SD card, and use metamorph on the phone to do the rest. It is easy and doesn't require SDK, or anything else.

Even cloverdale is using metamorph now so it is compatible with all versions. It saves a lot of trouble making new versions for each new test CM that comes out.
[Android Themes] Mardenator:
i know.. someone made me a MM bar for my g1, but when i tried applying it, it just said "applying framework-res.apk".. and it stayed that way for hours! i even left it like that when i went to sleep, and woke up the next morning to find it still applying it..
[Android Themes] robertgibson:
Did you superuser permission screen pop up? if you haven't ever given MM su access, it can't work
[Android Themes] Mardenator:
i already did that.. i even tried uninstalling &reinstalling it, but it still didn't work
[Android Themes] robertgibson:
Do you have busybox? if so, I don't know what else to say.....
[Android Themes] Mardenator:
no! lol i dont have busybox, which might be why MM doesnt work..
[HD2 General] luderdune:
I did a search and there were no answers. Has anyone figured this out?

I would like apps like Pocket Informant, the voice recorder, etc. to default to a FreeOTFE folder on the microSD card. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
[Networking] carlosz:
Hello,

As I have always done in my previous HTC models (Touch, Diamond, HD), I have set up the registry key HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/RIL/EnableDeactivatePDP to 1.

This allows to automatically turn data connection off when the phone enters into standby mode.

The problem is that, with my HD2, the connection goes off correctly but activesync is unable to automatically synchronize with the exchange server while the screen is off.

I have tried different ROMS and different radios. All with the same issue.

It always worked with my previous HTCs.

Has anybody a solution to this issue?

Thanks!

Carlos
[Networking] gsvnet:
Forgive me if I'm not understanding this right, but if the data connection is turned off, how would it synchronize?
[Networking] carlosz:
As I wrote, it always worked. While in standby, it always connected/disconnected automatically while synchronizing with Exchange.
[Touch2 General] htc fan89:
Hey guys,

I don't want to use the term "is it worth it?" but, How is the touch2 with web surfing and youtube videos and etc.
[Touch2 General] mirost1:
Imo its good mate, i like it
[Touch2 General] L.J.Silver:
For my requirements it works fine...
[Touch2 General] Gothik:
YES!~ always wanted to answer this. first of all, don't go with GSMArena review on it. yes do believe the downsides.

first as you asked youtube and surfing. its really good in it except some flash contents being supported. otherwise its good.

there are many problems with it. like not supporting alot of mSD cards, lagy, this and that. poor EXTREMELY poor video. mostly LAG makes this phone=crap. after day to day use you will see that. if you keep your sms, then after some time it will disturb you alot. hang and all.
[Touch2 General] LtBlue:
WTF !?!?

FFS !

Touch2 rulez Youtube with it's own WinMo program , which has a super nice interface and plays the videos SUPER FAST and nice !

i do like the surfing on the touch2 with Opera , it supports almost every pluggin on the page , i've never had problems till now , everything works fine , smooth and fast ! dunno what Gothik is talking about but for this type of device and this range of money it's PERFECT !!!

p.s. i got 95 messages in my inbox and no hanging , just some slow reaction with Album , but that's becouse i got more than 700 pictures in it :P
[Touch2 General] EnglishSoccer:
my 1st smart phone, everything good but the GPS connection is slow.

if you use some mp4 converter program for videos before put into the phone, then the videos are great

and I love playing Bejeweled on the road.

attach the game for you guys
[Touch2 General] Goldendawn:
Well I have just moved from a Treo 650 to HTC Touch 2 - so kinda big different step for me - and when I judged this phone I based it on mostly what I need, and what I want.

So far - with the great stuff I have found on the web - and also the SPB (okay more cost but... hey) I have been very impressed with the overall behaviour of the phone, the usablity and also the speed - it is pretty quick (if you don't have 10000000000 tody plugins all loaded at the same time - managed to run out of memory - once -but hey gotta play before serious work!)

The only things I don't like

1) TouchFLO - sorry but that is one of the worse interfaces I have ever used - even worse in my opinion to the Palm 650 default interface! But, I come from usablity, and also from quick access to my main programs. Which is why I forked out for SPB Mobile Shell - It offers a lot of functionality over the base Front.

2) SMS - I really don't like the SMS application with Windows Mobile 6.5 - I'm kinda use to the default Palm 650 SMS - but the thing about it was it was very easy to use, and very quick. I find the SMS in Windows Mobile to be sluggish, and also doesn't even offer things like Graphics Smiley Faces. On top of that I have tested out programs like SMS-Chat, which pretty much does what I want it to do - but can't get the override to SMS-Chat to work correctly - so the default keeps popping its ugly head!

3) Cases - In New Zealand the Touch 2 is new - only been around for about 1.5mths - but getting cases is really impossible - and this is something that has really worried me because I use it for work - and I know oneday soon I'm going to drop it! But - this I will solve - even if I have to use a condom :D

What I do like about it is cost - it did everything I needed and more - and also has the capablity to grow a lot based on the community and the software vendors.

Overall I have suggested to a few of my friends to buy one - and three of them have brought it - and their response was pretty high also. Now, it hasn't got a huge screen - and I feel a little jealous at the larger screens of my IPhone and TOuch2 Pro friends - but - this is light, easy to store in pocket, and also fits in your hand well - so - over all - I find this a nice phone. Not the best - but certainly not the worse I played with before buying.
[Touch2 General] garret_fun:
It's good...

I have been coming to love it more as time goes by.

It's adaptive to my personal use,small and neat.I now often use it as a Hi-Fi Radio.

It has given me much fun...

Hope you like it!
[Touch2 General] Gothik:
oh really? tell me about the video recording. even a crappy nokia these days records a freaKIN better video than this machine :/.
[Touch2 General] LtBlue:
Nokia is a ****ty simbian phone , doing better in Cam/Vid section couse it SUCKS IN ALL OTHER !!!!! i didnt bough this phone to be my cam ... i allready have one and if i need something to be recorded or photoed then i take it ... for ordinary pics of everyday life the touch2 is doing it gr8 !!! SO STOP BOTHERING US !!!!!!
[Touch2 General] bib*oops:
I can't help myself agreeing with you...(in a balcanic way of speaking..)

Anyway, gothic has his own strongopinionsnomatterwhatrealitymeans...

Cheers!
[Touch2 General] jennan88:
Being honest, I was having real problems with it before I changed my ROM. After I changed to the WWE Europe ROM and got the Compact QWERTY keyboard with it, typing became much easier (the Asian ROM doesn't have it) and phone performance became a lot faster.

If you're going to get it, make sure you get DiamondTweak, AdvancedConfig and SKTools Lite. They have fixed every issue and done every tweak I wanted to do

Cheers

[Touch Diamond CDMA] GuestK0041:
I've read somewhere that the CDMA Diamond has TV out, but the GSM does not. Does anyone know whether this is true?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] btest:
Neither of them has TV out
[Touch Diamond CDMA] doublej3030:
EDIT: Would this one work for the diamond and the pro?

http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=730
[Touch Diamond CDMA] GuestK0041:
I know it works on the touch pro, but I'm pretty sure now that it's not the Diamond.
[Nexus One General] serialtoon:
I've been noticing a lot of the apps on the market stating that we all have press release versions of Froyo. Is this true?
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Can you give some examples?

Haven't seen this.
[Nexus One General] Shaolin Style:
yeah, PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!
[Nexus One General] ChillRays:
yeah really

also is that picture of yours gordon freeman?
[Nexus One General] antoniouslj:
look at nexus mod...

and look at this http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/android-2-2s-froyo-goodness-hitting-the-nexus-one-already/ check out the 3rd update
[Nexus One General] mykenyc:
this the only thing that made me believe it:

from @Romain Guy

http://twitter.com/romainguy/status/14650964801
[Nexus One General] Marine6680:
If that turns out to be the case, we will get the new file so we can flash it; if not we can alway download the old 2.1 update file, flash and then let the OTA hit the phone.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
LOL Yes. First person to get it so far! :cool:
[Nexus One General] wocman:
Really? I thought everyone interested enough in tinkering with gadgets (aka nerds, JK :p) knew Freeman, the famous silent protagonist armed with the mighty crowbar. Or maybe I'm just getting old and ppl don't play PC games anymore.

Anyway, hopefully a new rom will come. I still have problems mounting the SD card which sometimes causes crashes. And also missing market links.
[Nexus One General] arkavat:
Man! now I don't know what I want more... Official FROYO or episode 3

Google/Valve... it's about time you
[Nexus One General] mykenyc:
yea i think 70 percent or more of this forum should know freeman from half life gosh i remember the pc crowbar days ... was i the only one who played demos like they was the full game if they didn't have the money at the moment lol
[Nexus One General] ChillRays:
lol.. One of my favorite videos on youtube is called "half life full life consequences". Its not "lol" funny but very amusing =)

Guys, let's continue the discussion in the older thread, too many duplicate threads being created... lets keep all in one place. Thanks though.
[HD2 General] diffstyle:
Hi, i searched but was unable to find a post on this so i shall post my question. I like using windows default home screen but like HTC's messenger and Calender on my HD2. Is there a way to launch these without actually launching sense 2.5?
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
do we just install via root explorer or astro? because i was able to install but i dont have swype. or do i have to install that somewhere else?
[G1 Android Development] smjfosho:
screenshot?
[G1 Android Development] SmartBrother90:
tried installing thru adb & root explorer on supereclair 2.1..it wont install
[G1 Android Development] hoey2011:
Ok, "it won't install" isn't very specific. I don't know enough about Android to put together my own whole ROM, but I do know that logcats are EXTREMELY helpful. So, if you could either tell me the dialogue you get when "it won't install" or give me a logcat, I might be able to help you. Otherwise, please don't tell me it just won't work =/
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
Pretty sure you'll have to uninstall swype before installing this one. I've had trouble in the past installing swype while it was already installed.
[G1 Android Development] SmartBrother90:
i uninstalled before trying to install the blueblack

here is my logcat

[G1 Android Development] G-Fetus6:
works perfect. heeeeeell yeah. this is what ive been waiting for!
[G1 Android Development] hoey2011:
Hm... instead of trying to just plain install this one, try installing it in /system/app, not /data/app.

This is how I do it:

From CMD -

1. adb shell

2. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

3. cp /sdcard/BlackSwype.apk /system/app/com.swype.inputmethod.android.apk

4. mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

5. sync

6. reboot

I will leave more information in the OP about my setup. You can also do this in terminal for you root users.
[G1 Android Development] SmartBrother90:
it worked..thanks man..the theme is koooool!
[G1 Android Development] jriv:
i just used an apk installer and it worked perfectly for me.

(100th post woo hooo!!)
[G1 Android Development] crunkcory:
Any chance you can theme it like the new Swype keyboard on the Mytouch Slide? I think its called black glass.
[G1 Android Development] hoey2011:
I will look into it now, see what I have to do to get it made up... could you point me in the direction of a screenshot or anything that would be helpful?
[G1 Android Development] SmartBrother90:
i think the apk for it is either in crslide or zx slide.. cant remember which one
[G1 Android Development] rapidfire224:
do you think you can make my files into a theme, i try but my swype wont install when i change the files and sign it, it only needs a glow.png because i couldent figure out the transparansy for it. :) http://www.4shared.com/file/U3UWMgFL/swype.html
[G1 Android Development] hoey2011:
I found the apk, I'm testing it now before I post it in the OP
[G1 Android Development] hoey2011:
CHECK OP!!!

I just updated a few more themed apks... tested and working on my G1
[G1 Android Development] arefin:
thanks for this great work! I was wondering how to get Deutsch (German) language pack, I used to have it with the previous version which just expired on me :-(

Any help regarding German lang pack?
[G1 Android Development] rapidfire224:
i could make more themes for it if i can figure out what im doing wrong! :)
[G1 Android Development] hoey2011:
I'm still not entirely sure what it is you were having trouble with, but under to edit transparent .png's I use Photoshop. I'm sure there is a free image editor that will do the same thing. Personally, I love Photoshop because its so easy. I got mine free anyhow ^_^
[G1 Android Development] hoey2011:
I noticed that these files you are posting on your site, are the EXACT same files I signed and posted on 4shared. I wasn't accusing you of stealing my work, but now it's harder not to. There was no link to the thread here at XDA, no mention of my name, or the fact that you were using files I built. The links were to files you had on your server, not my 4shared account. There was no claim to credit on the website, per se, but given the fact that they were posted on YOUR site, with links to YOUR server, using screenshots of MY PHONE to show your visitors, with the exception of one you downloaded, you didn't necessarily need to claim credit. I am not trying to proliferate my forum name, but you were the one that wrote the article. When I started this thread, I had other themers come to me with ideas and completed apks, and I posted them with their name right next to it. I have stayed exclusively on XDA because it has been teaching me what I need to know. I am not new to Android, my friend, albeit new to inner workings. I am teaching myself from the ground up, and its like having the carpet yanked out from under you to see that. I just voiced my disappointment, and you got defensive and hostile. Now, XDA won't allow me to post links to my uploads on this thread, so anyone that wants to stay updated with my themes will have a harder time getting them. But, rest assured "Market4Android" Admin, YOU will NOT be on that list. Simply for the fact that you reacted incredibly rudely to someone that only asked that the source of those files be mentioned.

...and HOW BOUT THEM BOYS?! Born and raised in Dallas :D i'll get to it as soon as i can.

These betas I have been getting are only English and Spanish, as you know. But the only versions that have the full language packs are pre loaded on devices from OEMs due to the contracts that Swype has with those manufacturers. I have already contacted Swype about including the languages in these betas, and they said that those versions are being specifically distributed to North America only, and that only full versions will support those additional languages from here on out. The Swype team also told me that because their current business model involves the pre loaded method, there is no indication as to when the app will be released fully to the public. Also, I asked about built in theme support so I can streamline distribution, and they said there is no word on whether that will be supported "officially." However, an interesting thing to note, the person from Swype that I corresponded with told me that alot of people in their office had seen the many Swype mods throughout forums like XDA here, and are very impressed with it. So, hopefully my themes will find a permanent home with the Swype final product :)
[G1 Android Development] Jaylito.:
thanks for ur hard work!
[G1 Android Development] bluedawgalex:
i'd love to have the black swype with a red trace line on the evo.. but i guess im gonna have to wait.. love the op's designs..very talented
[G1 Android Development] Remanifest:
hoey2011,

Thanks for all the work you're putting into this for the community... you're really doing some great work here. Don't mind the haters, just laugh in their dumb faces - a hater's job is to hate, and a boss' job is to keep bossin - so keep bossin and let the haters hate bro!

Thanks again for your time & effort. You're the man.
[G1 Android Development] jerry43812:
Your loss, not mine, buddy. And rest assured you will NEVER see any of the traffic I can bring to your work. You may think that the world revolves around one website, but it does not.

And you call that "voicing your disappointment" by calling someone a thief? Whatever. Have a great day.
[G1 Android Development] Remanifest:
market4android Alexa Traffic Rank: 4,696,753

xda-developers Alexa Traffic Rank: 1,588

Please come up with a more sensible argument. The numbers are absolutely not in your favor.

The data also indicates that you need to work on your marketing skills. If you need help in this arena, I'll optimize your site for traffic for a flat fee of $500, with guaranteed results. PM for details.
[G1 Android Development] hoey2011:
I don't care about your traffic. And my work started strictly as a way to teach myself this wonderful OS's methods and capabilities. Not to boast a personal attention getting agenda. And as far as Android goes, XDA is THE only website I will be at to get my information, thanks to people like Cyanogen, KingKlick, Maxisma, and all the other Developers that make my lowly HTC Dream useable.

And not once did I say, "You are a thief, stealing my work." All I wanted was for you to mention the source. I never said you claimed ownership. Your argumentative skills could use some work home boy cause your logic is flawed. You can't base your argument off something I never claimed. There isn't even a term for a fallacy like that. Just making **** up. Good job :)

Anyways, I have just signed up for the Official beta from the Swype website. I will no longer be releasing .apks here on XDA, only themes that rooted users with a custom recovery WITH the official beta can use. I am still learning how to create one of these update.zip files, but I have to go to work in 15 minutes, so it will be put on hold.

And just so you know, I'm a 20 year old pizza delivery boy that bleeds that red white and blue, Domino's that is ;) I'm teaching myself EVERYTHING. Not ONCE has anyone on XDA sent me a PM explaining something to me, yet I have sent about 25, very detailed PMs with instructions on how to do various things in accordance with Android. Maybe being new to Android makes me a leper to your high standards of Android information distribution, but I have helped more people than you have in more ways than you, assuredly.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
omg:confused:this is starting to get silly, you guys
[G1 Android Development] hoey2011:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH :D

I needed a good laugh before i went into work xD
[G1 Android Development] hoey2011:
i thought i kept it pretty sensible. i didn't think i was out of line asking to be mentioned.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i know, but i keep seein a new post in my list of threads, and then i look and its this argument going on

i dont know who's right, but just wish we could all get along

edit: on second thought, i think i better stay out of this...
[G1 Android Development] :
Hm.... I'm only a tad familiar with how metamorph works, but is it possible to create a metamorph for the swypes instead of a flashable zip? Seems like too much flashing. :P Oh the other hand, it's bs swype wants to get pissy about the betas getting leaked. As I've said before, the only way to stop something from possibly getting leaked on the internet is to NEVER CREATE IT. That's a different story for a different time, though.

Thanks for all you've being doing. I don't think I've ever thanked you and I've been using your blackglass for a while. It looks very nice with SuperBad. I can't stand how swype looks. Its ugly stock on any ROM. Also, mine always fails to register. Downloads and installs, but never registers... wtf? :[
[G1 Android Development] hoey2011:
well, to be honest, until today, I have been using leaked versions to theme and I finally registered and got to download the official beta. I will invest some time in a MM file format, i kind of forgot about MM (sorry stericsson :p). I got fed up with the new file format never working for me, but i have a little more knowledge of android now than I did when it was irritating me so I'll give it another shot
[G1 Android Development] :
Ah. I've been in beta for a while. Honestly, though, I just caught onto the swype train recently, though. Decided to keep at it until I mastered it and now I actually text! My finacee doesn't ask me everytime "why won't you $%@##$% text me back?!" :P

And MM is just a convenience thing for us. If it's easier for you to just make them flashable, do it. :P If we want it themed bad enough we'll flash away.
