[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kronik03:
I was looking into creating my own applications, I have a little coding / graphic expierience.

Was wondering what type of code are android apps written in.

And if anyone knows of a good guide or something like Intro To Creating Apps?

Don't flame me please...If I knew more than you I wouldn't be asking, and I wouldn't flame you for asking.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intx:
Java, although native code is now supported thru a Java VM.

I'd start by downloading the sdk and going through those tutorials
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decad3nce:
Should be posted in app section but regardless, Here is where you'll find everything you need to learn.

Check out the "Sample Code" in "Resources" for a quick little learning tool.

Oh, and app dev is pure java.

You'll find a lot of tutorials(like video courses) and resources with a couple google searches.

Good luck
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kronik03:
Awesome

Thanks guys :D

Quick response and very helpful, I appreciate it!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fr4nk1yn:
I searched and found no lockscreens.

I see them in custom ROMs so it's changeable?

Something different than the curved Sense slider?

Got any?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] VoXHTC:
In the Market there's an app called Lockbot pro. Best you're gonna get right now. I've tried to understand the themeing and lockscreens but to no avail

I requested a clear lockscreen and apparently it can't be done.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Konikub:
It might be able to be done. With the HTCLockscreen.....does it have a background wallpaper on it...or is it transparent? Do you want the bar to be gone?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] VoXHTC:
That would rock!

a back ground wallpaper would be great, just no black bar or curved bar. clock and text transparent.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Konikub:
I'll send you the link to the clear lockscreen you want....if you can take a screenie for me and send it to my gmail addy......:)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fr4nk1yn:
Calkulin's ROM has a clear lockscreen which got me looking.

There's some nice ones for the hero as well.

Out it can be done in a custom ROM than why not on a rooted phone?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] VoXHTC:
send this screenshot to your gmail? I'm confused :confused:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Konikub:

[Touch Cruise General] pinkstuff:
Hello i was wondering if it is at all possible to use some of the other roms, like say the winmo 6.5 roms that are meant for say an htc diamond or maybe ones made for an samsung omnia, I know it seems silly but i watched a youtube htc polaris and i read in the comments that one guy was indeed using other roms meant for other phones, how much of this is true is not known to me. I have flashed quite a few roms to my phone after hard spl but only with polaris roms. I would be grateful for any feedback from you guys as your knowledge is pretty amazing thanking you... Marlone....
[Touch Cruise General] Alex-V:
î don´t think it´s possible to use roms from other phones...but can you post a link to the video...?

with kind regards...Alex
[Touch Cruise General] speakerphone:
no, not a good idea to try other hardware roms.

just because it's online doesn't make it true.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cp0020:
i apologise if this is a stupid question. i had and htc touch before i got the sprint hero. they were able to make android work on it on nand with everything working. the phone is not 3G but they were able to make it 3G by changing some stuff around in the kernel i guess. so my question is.... is it possible to make the sprint hero 4G with some kernel work??? again, i am sorry if this is a stupid question. thanks in advance :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeroMeng:
I'd imagine not. WiMAX takes a special kind of internal radio the Hero simply doesn't have.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irisht:
correct me if I blunder but I am pretty sure its not possible as our devices lack the necessary hardware to receive a WiMax signal. I am looking into whether or not 802.16 (WiMax) is backwards compatible with 802.11 (WiFi). If it is then in theory we should be able to connect to a WiMax network but with obvious limitations.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cp0020:
thanks for the replies guys. yeah i just wasnt sure if we could or not. now i have a clearer understanding as to why we cant.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] AyanamiZer00:
Hello all!

So, despite the fact that I have an HD2, with it's massive screen and awesome internals, I haven't liked using anything other than the really old-school Today Plugins. Sense bugs the crap out of me, and I'm still not convinced on Titanium.

I use most all of the standard Today Plugins that come with WinMo, but if I'm using HTC Messaging (which I would like to stay with), it doesn't come up in the usual 'Messaging' plugin. Would it be possible for someone to throw together a plugin that fits in with the other standard ones, and just works with HTC Messaging? Or if anyone could point me to some helpful links, I'll give it a shot.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] AyanamiZer00:
Or, here's another idea. I use Windows Live exclusively on my device, and as you can see in the screenshot, I use the Windows Live plugin for my email. Would it be possible to mod the existing Messaging plugin to show results and link to the HTC Messaging app? Seems like that would make life easier.

[Android] Breakthecycle2:
I have downloaded different kitchens and things like that. My question is, where to begin. What's some good reading material that shows you in depth how to build and modify a rom? kernel? etc?
[Android] gnarlyc:
It would be nice if there was one, 'complete' guide to ROM developing. I haven't found it yet, so I'm pretty sure that it doesn't exist. (Well, and things change all of the time. New devices, new versions of Android, etc. It would take some time to keep up to date.) So, we all spend too much of our time just digging the info out instead of spending actually learning it. I hope these help with your knowledge quest.

Sweet info--

trying to find the BEST & COMPLETE kitchen to make customs roms to cheer
[Desire General] rolfd:
Conflicts of interest with Android supporters helped kill Google's Nexus One project, but that is not stopping the search giant embarking on another bid to keep Apple-style control of the Android platform. Google is reported to be planning a unified user interface that will be imposed across Android products, ending the fragmentation that dogs the system, but also restricting partners' development of their own user experiences.

Full story HERE
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
if the UI makeover is any good then I wont mind but I do hope they dont make it harder on HTC to make sense for gingerbread as I quite like Sense UI.
[Desire General] rolfd:
I'm not that fussed on sense to be honest. I could take it or leave it.

I just hope that Google don't start to push people away by trying to monopolise everything. I can't imagine that HTC would be happy if they were having their lives made difficult by Google.

HTC have made an excellent phone in the desire, and if things like this make them think again about a new release using Android then it can only be bad for all of us.
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
True.

Android is open source so Google cant ban anyone from making thier own UIs so in that sense should be fine. if they do start to monopolise then yeah I will get worried as thats going the apple way.
[Desire General] ljesh:
This depends on the implementation if we (at least I) should take it as good or bad.

Good: google unifies the UI but also allows others (developers) to make their own UI and doesn't make hard the implementation of personal UI. In the end, after Froyo, google needs a nice and unified UI. Froyo brings many things which are needed, now the only thing lacking is nice and unified UI.

Bad: google unifies the UI and doesn't allow nobody to make their own UI. Then they will become like apple and I will personally refuse to purchase anything that has to do with them. To speak the truth, I chose the Android (Desire) device only because of Android openness. If someone takes that away from me, I will take my 500 euro from them. Simple as that. That is the least I can do.
[Desire General] bedeabc:
I know this sounds terrible but to be honest I have no problems with Google semi 'monopolising' Android. Unity is so important for a mobile OS IMO. Look how far Apple has got with theirs.

Unlike Apple however, I trust Google not to go too far with it all...
[Desire General] gogol:
If the UI is good, I dont mind.

I hate everytime Google released a new version of Android and I have to WAIT to get it.

Kill that fragmentation ... please ... please Google?
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Whether we like it or not, it seems this is the direction that all OS's (i.e. Microsoft WP7) seem to be going in although Google has under gone more radical changes with it's new versions due to being so new and having developed so fast. Despite what that article above said Microsoft with WP7 are stopping (having stopped development of WM 6.5) OEM's from adding custom UI's so that they can roll out OS updates without OEM's getting in the way or delaying them. This means they can have uniformed releases of OS updates across the whole platform and them not be device dependant.

It's not a bad idea as long as they do not completely lock it down and still allow 3rd party enhancements to be added to the core OS with custom launchers and widgets IMO, as we don't all want or need to have our devices all looking exactly the same. But if it means new OS updates reach users faster as long as the hardware is capable that has to be good for both us the users and Android or any of these OS's.

Also remember Google has said after Gingerbread their will be a slow down of core changes to the OS as it just won't be so necessary as it starts to mature and should only require minor tweaks or fixes from then on. That's not saying development will cease just that it won't need to be so rapid and if by then there are a minimum spec being used with less custom UI's any new features should be easier and faster to apply to all the devices.

[Desire General] lambrospower:
i think that what should be done is a unified UI by google which many users like but it will be awsome if their way of customizing is on top of the main core files and can be customized bu 3rd parties too. so there will be faster updates and the possibility of customizing it. something like a folder with the customizations that will be used instead of the system defaults......

Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] frier:
People like you shouldn't be allowed on the internet.

There is no battery efficient Android yet.

If you had read so much as one thread before you posted, you would understand that Android is still in a quite early stage on the Xperia, with both battery issues and non working functions.

So please, Either read the threads first or leave the internet.

battery is still a current issue like many other functions - noticed that was your first post - please read most of the threads before asking any questions

oooh please, if you look 2 threads down youll seee a one called improving battery live.

like frier sad android on x1 is not close
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] DonDizzurp:
1. battery life + stability (biggest problem for all ports)

2. wifi, gps, bluetooth (solution is there especially for wifi, just needs to be implemented correctly)

3. camera (im sure the solution isnt that difficult)

4. a nand flash so we can create android ROMs for x1 (this one might never happen, would be great though because SD cards can crash easily. i also read that they found a solution for the diamond or tp2? dont remember exactly)

hmm..so the only REALLLL problem is battery life and stability which most likely go hand-in-hand. android on the x1 is damn close, but our devs seem to have left us ..

Hi all,

I'm a frequent traveller, I often change countries for business and/or pleasure and am planning a very long journey by car, from Australia to Europe.

In order to let my friends and family know where I am, I was wondering if there was a app I could install on my TyTN II that would use the built-in GPS, get my position and upload it on a website (but NOT using the Internet). Such beacons exist for yachts, they send once a day the exact position to the vendor, using GPS only, and then friends can know where the boat is. I don't have a boat I have a 4WD :)

Any thoughts ? I've looked online and so far I could only find apps that would use the Internet... Not very practical when you're in the middle of nowhere in Mongolia, I doubt there is free WiFi in Ulaanbaatar :)

Thanks.

Boags.
[General Topics] sirphunkee:
How would the phone connect to upload the information then..? The boat-based GPS beacons transmit their position using a satellite transmitter, but that's separate from GPS (which is a one-way system). Your phone doesn't really have that capability, or any other way to broadcast its location or any other data, without using the internet.
[General Topics] Boags:
Ha ! I didn't think of that, I didn't know GPS was one way... damn. Makes sense tho. Thanks. Now I feel like a tool :)
[General Topics] sirphunkee:
It's all good man...the only way you would have been a tool is if you didn't come to xda to find out what you needed ;)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmoothMarx:
I've had 2 problems with my G1, one of which for quite a while.

Starting off with the most severe and recent one, my phone has been randomly draining by data connection while I'm asleep. A couple of weeks ago, I woke up with my 3G turned off because I had reached my limit. As soon as I check my Netcounter, it seems like transfers up to 250MB had been made. But the phone was lying idle on my stand! I have no idea why this may happen and I believe I have a log that may have the problem included within.

As for my long lasting problem, my girlfriend has been complaining my phone sends her repeat message countless times, at random times. Sometimes 3 at a time, sometimes just 1.

I have no idea why this is happening either, but since I have free texts, I've been ignoring the problem so far.

Hope some of you can help me out with these.

Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
For the first problem, hit menu->settings->accounts and sync -> turn off background data and autosync. Your phone automatically syncs your information with your google account, including gmail, contacts, calendar, market, etc. By turning this off your phone will no longer automatically update that, so make sure that you turn it on when using wifi every once in a while so you don't waste your data.

As for the second problem I have no idea, but I too noticed it does that sometimes.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmoothMarx:
Well, usually I'm not too concerned about data limits because my monthly limit is 300MB, more than acceptable for a phone, in my opinion. However, how can an idle phone sync text-based data up to a size of 250MB? It's like my phone was streaming a tv show to keep itself entertained until it had to ring the alarm!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmoothMarx:
It's happened again just now (a couple of minutes ago) and as soon as I get a USB cable, I'll transfer the log onto here. Hopefully someone can figure out the problem.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
Then you must have installed an app which is using more data then you are aware of. Either try uninstalling unwanted apps or use an app that blocks internet access (I think one of them is droid firewall something, and I think autostarts does this too. check for yourself).

beside this, it is a really good conventional display.

i agree. I lost my HTC magic, and afther a couple of days i agreed with buying this beautiful device. You cant compare it with the desire or legend, but i think for budget phones it is the best on the market! much better then the x10 mini!

the resolution is not really bad comparing with the desire.
