[Desire General] samac92:
720p refers to it's resolution (the number of pixels) as a 720p video has 720 horizontal lines of pixels.

but the desire display only has 400 horizontal lines of pixels. So whats the point of having all those extra pixels when the screen can't display them?

You need an HD screen to get the benefit of HD video, like an HD TV or computer monitor.
[Desire General] rars:
But it is quite possible that android will take over apple. And I also read that htc will soon release a phone with a 1.5 ghz processor. And I don't think that nexus one is available in the uk.
[Desire General] samac92:
lol ok I meant in my personal experience they have been crap.
[Desire General] rars:
Ok lol. So in that case, can it play videos direct from full YouTube website?
[Desire General] samac92:
N1 is available on vodafone at least, but not as good a deal as the desire.

and don't worry about processor speeds, they're pretty meaningless nowadays.

All the decent modern smartphones do everything instantly, the only place they're going to be different is benchmarks, which don't mean anything anyway.
[Desire General] samac92:
The Desire can, but in really awful quality because it uses the flash lite player. If you use the youtube app you get better quality videos.

This is another reason why the N1 is better, it lets you play youtube videos from the browser without using the flash lite player which is awful quality.
[Desire General] rars:
Can not root the desire and install the stock android rom?

If the YouTube app is anything like the mobile website for YouTube,then it's no good.

[Droid Incredible General] techlogik:
Anybody else get this and ever find a fix?

Tons of info out there.

Downloading RemoteWave for my boss's new Incredible from Verizon. Purchase went through OK and got a receipt from Google Checkout.

App shows purchased, then I click Install, says app will be downloaded, then the details just sits at the Authorizing Purchase screen.

Tried everything, but nothing works...not doing a wipe, boss's phone, don't want to screw with that.

Free apps download and install just fine.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] krelvinaz:
Did you report it to http://groups.google.com/group/androidremote ?
[Droid Incredible General] techlogik:
I emailed the developer. Haven't got a reply in the past 2hrs...not sure how often he checks his email, or if that is even his real email in the product details on the market.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] zerf:
How long have you tried letting it sit at autorizing purchase? I had that happen once and I let it sit for like 10 mins on 3g not wifi and it went through finally. Hope that helps...
[Droid Incredible General] techlogik:
It worked today. The developer emailed me back, nice guy. Seems like it could take upwards of a day for it to finally go through and allow download.

Tried it this morning, boom, no problem. Stupid google...they are really running an amateur hour operation compared to Apple when it comes to their mobile devices, store etc...
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
Gave up on mine

I tried for days to purchase Alien World Abduction. Every time I would sit there and hunt and peck out my complete mailing address, my credit card, number, etc. only to then be met with invalid credit card (it isn't)

The author, who insists on charging in GBP, had a FAQ telling you to call your credit card company, or to use a completely different market. I am surprised to see those are his 2 recommendations ... it's like he wants an impediment to people legitimately purchasing his software.

Yet another example of how people who try to do the right thing have to jump through hoops, and people who do the wrong thing have it super easy.
[Droid Incredible General] Pondy:
I am having the same issue with my Desire, trying to purchase Extended Controls. I have emailed the dev, still waiting. I left it over night and its still sitting on Authorizing Purchase.

I agree, another case of trying to do the right thing, hoops .... etc etc etc

lol
[Droid Incredible General] UgXvibe:
Try soft resetting your phone (aka.. turn it off than on).. then go to Downloads in the Market menu and click on the program you purchased. Works for me every damn time.
[Droid Incredible General] Pondy:
Its OK I emailed the dev and then magically about and hour later it came through with out any resetting.

Cool, thanks

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] htcnoob87:
So I'm new to the whole concept of running the Android OS on my Tilt. I've been searching/reading/attempting this for a few days now and have had no luck. I followed a few threads to a T (or so I thought) and nothing.

Here's what HTC info:

ROM version: 3.57.502.2

Radio: 1.65.21.18

Files I currently have on my SD card:

4shared_desktop_3.2.1

KAISimg.nbh

androidinstall (TAR file) (Myn's Warm Donut RLS5)

I watched a few youtube videos following this setup and when the click the 4shared_desktop exe, it loads... mine says it's not compatible with the pocket pc.

I'm thinking of just clearing my SD card and starting from scratch again, perhaps with an easier setup someone already has(?)

Any help is appreciated. Thank you. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] blindguyinanorgy:
you will need to keep reading. the nbh files is the nand flash file just like wimo. you need haret to run from SD.

if you have really spent days reading i would not suggest flashing your nand

lots of past discussion about this, spend an hour or two on google.

Heres a starter.

Try things like copy only half your music to sd, see if it happens, if it doesn;t, erase that half, copy the second half, see if it happens, if it does, then you have a dodgy mp3 (badly written tags, insanely long path/path/filename, stuff like that.

I tried a 5x6 workspace last night, but I think that went a little too far. I think I'll try a 5x5 one next.

I'm still working on a tutorial and will post here when it's done.

BTW, which ROM's and Launchers are people using so I can look at the xml's?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] signals23:
Updated the OP with a Rosie.apk tutorial. Let me know which Launchers you guys are using and I'll take a look at them.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] TheSeanTeam:
I personally love the Helix Launcher... modding that home replacement to go 5x5 would be great!

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jstamm:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] signals23:
I'll go pull the launchers from both, it should be the same. I'll post if successful.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Master K:
Damage Control

I am running the latest DamageControl rom (2.9.01) and most of the items are not where you indicate in your tutorial.

If you could have a look it would be appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] signals23:
OK. I'll poke around after I get some work done.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] signals23:
@Master K

Took a quick look at DC 2.9.01. Looks like they pushed all of the info to the values folders and left the xml's as placeholders. This is really the way it should've been since the dimens.xml and integers.xml files override the layout xml's anyway. Regardless, check out the dimens.xml and integers.xml in the following folders, everything should correspond then:

values-normal

values-normal-port

values-normal-port-mdpi

values-port

Let me know how that goes. I'm not running DC, so I can't test it right now.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Master K:
Well I thought I did it all correctly but when I pushed over the new Rosie.apk it would not launch. Just a black screen on reboot and then other things FC'ed. So I put back the original Rosie and everything was fine.

If someone with more experience editing inside these APK's gets this to work let me know.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] signals23:
I'll edit it tonight and will post the apk for you to test.

Out of curiosity, did you setup the frameworks in apktool correctly?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] :
@Master K (or anyone using DC2.09)

Try this update.zip for DC2.09. It should give you 5x5.

Let me know and as always, nandroid and keep your backup Rosie.apk handy.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Ulatec:
Hey, so any update on Launcher2? I have been playing around with this with the Launcher2 straight from Froyo, and it is a bit different, have you come up with any solution yet?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] :
Which ROM and phone are you using? Because Froyo isn't running on a CDMA Hero. Let me know and I'll take a look.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] :
If anyone is wondering why the h3ll you would do this, here is my current screen setup.

Center

Left

Right
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Ulatec:
It is a Nexus One. But regardless stock Launcher2 is stock Launcher2, and they are the same apk, if you want a look at the stock Froyo Launcher, here it is :)

Most of the values are located in the same place, but in turn the have changed things around to use different variable instead of straight up saying "xx.xdip"
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] :
Launcher2 may be the same, but the frameworks are different and that's what apktool uses to decode, so it does make a difference.

I'll take a look at it today.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Ulatec:
Alrighty, I am in no rush :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] :
Give this a try. Not sure about it, so make sure you backup everything and have a Launcher2 flash ready to go.

res\values-port\integers.xml
<integer name="folder_grid_columns">4</integer>

Let me know if that helps.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] javila13:
Thanks for the reply. The zip reshaped all my icons; it cut the program names off and the widgets are also cut off.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] :
Really? Program names shouldn't be cut-off, not with a typical res icon. Can you post a screenshot?

As for the widgets, it will mess them up. Which is why the tutorial on the OP shows you how to change the cell spacing to accommodate.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] daryelv:
Thanks for the info, that's what I saw after running the APKTool as well. I'll give it a try tonight.

-Daryel
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] up2no6ood:
how bad do the widgets get messed up? Will the stock htc weather clock still work?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] :
Htc clock is based off of cell spacing which the OP shows how to change (it's at the bottom and is really easy). So, a 4x2 clock widget would need to be modded to 5x3. But I have a modded one that fits 5x2 if you want, I can post it tomorrow.

Beautiful Widgets is based off of pixels, so 320x200 is what it is, whether it eats up 5x3 or whatever. Basically, BW = no distortion, but may eat up too much real estate, thus making this mod useless.

How about sharing some of you your modified widgets with us? Maybe a new thread with all the 5x5 ones? once I get this damn apktool figured out I will post some :D

I was planning on it, but no one has said they got this to work for themselves yet. I'll be happy to post tomorrow, but keep in mind they will work on Zen's ROM with the 5x5 workspace only.

Fantastic job on this, I have been trying to do this for myself, but must be missing something or done it incorectly. If you wouldnt mind checking over what I have done so far, I would appreciate any help you can give. I am working on stock 2.1 and want 4 cells wide by 5 cells long.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] :
Because of this:

W/ResourceType( 5068): Bad string block: last string is not 0-terminated

My first guess is that you accidently erased a closing symbol (i.e. - < or / or >). If the code line isn't opened and closed properly, everything else in the xml file won't work. Styles.xml should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Hi, I'm looking into modding rosie.apk at the moment, but the point where I'm stuck is the signing of the apk file.

How do I sign it properly without getting "Package com.htc.launcher has no signatures that match those in shared user com.htc.rosie.uid.shared; ignoring!" and being stuck in a bootloop?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] :
I assume you're applying Rosie in an update.zip? What ROM? How did you sign it?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] iowdqe:
Well I tried pushing the rosie.apk manually to /system/app with adb while in clockworkmod recovery. Should I have done it via a update.zip?

I'm running MoDaCo r8 on HTC Desire btw, I guess I should still be able to apply the mod somehow.. I tried signing the apk with the testkey and tried pushing the unsigned apk and apparently it didn't work.

Sign the apk, zip into an update.zip and sign that, then apply in recovery. See if that makes a difference.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] :
I think the coding should be the same since they are both Sense based. Take a quick look at the codes and if something doesn't match up, let me know. If you want me to look at it, I'll need your Rosie.apk and your com.htc.resources.apk.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tktouch12:
well, i just tried. i got started on the editing and everything, but the .zml files werent in the exact same spots. i think i got fairly close. i edited the stuff but it ended up force closing when i tried to load it on my phone. i think i was on the right track, it would be awesome if you'd take a look at it. i attached the original rosie, and then the rosie that i tried to make (thats rosiemybad.apk). i cant attach the framework: http://www.filedropper.com/comhtcresources so that should be it

I used 96.0dip for width and 137.0 dip for the height, but i have a feeling like those arent right.
