[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Keethos:
The thing is, ADW seems to affect the native home screen too, the crop box gets reduced to 600x500 for either the wallpaper for the native home screen or the ADW homescreen which is annoying. I've managed to get a proper picture to fit the screen properly by setting the wallpaper I want for the native home screen, then install ADW, then that will take that full image and set it as the wallpaper for ADW, but as soon as you try adjusting or setting a different wallpaper, you'll face the issue of having a square crop box and this sometimes even messes up the native home screen to a stretch image.

No, it's very, very annoying :mad:

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] squalllion1uk:
Maybe its just me but I notice when using the streak in portrait the wallpaper fits 'a bit better' nothings worked for me regardless of the rez it just has to zoom in mind you live wallpaper works fine. Also I'm using pro launcher even with its the same.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] checkbox111:
:eek: is that your country's national flag :eek:
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] rahulkadukar:
Yes it is, why the surprise ? I happen to like it ;)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] squalllion1uk:
Okay I now believe the wallpaper fits almost perfectly in portrait on the homescreens but zoomed in when switched to landscape.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] checkbox111:
Are all the people as 'gay' as the fag (sorry flag)?

Must be the 'friendliest' country on earth :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Desibouy:
Nahh, i think he got confused with his avatar. That is his flag. India's. that link that has those colors is not a flag. I happen to be indian lol..
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] checkbox111:
Yeah i gathered his avatar was India, it states 'Location: Mumbai' :rolleyes:
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Desibouy:
lol.. haha ...did you check his res? im gonna try it now see if it works but using launcher pro and i can bloody cant take a screen!! :(
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] craigdabbs:
im using launcher pro, loving this launcher btw :)

But the way the streak implements wallpapers is terrible, i for one would just like a static 800*480 wallpaper at full resolution as my background and not have it scrolling. You can turn this off in launcher pro but still zooms in. Currently using 800*480 landscape pics like this

cannot get the streak to stop cropping into the middle

all i get is
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Troute:
Do you know that the crop box is adjustable? You can drag it about and resize it by dragging on the edges/corners.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] craigdabbs:
yep thats as big as it gets when its dragged to maximum size
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] checkbox111:
The way it zooms in isn't the streaks fault, as it doesn't zoom in when you don't have launcherpro or adw installed, these 'launchers' just aren't compatible with large widesreens if you want to use a backround.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Troute:
Try this then Craig and resize your other images to match before loading them to your Streak.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] zgmf-x322a:
thanks for the info
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] craigdabbs:
i find its the same on the stock launcher from dell, seems that android really dont cope to well with it being in landscape and just cuts out the bottom half of the pic, looks perfect in portrait mode.

Thanks for you suggestions tho :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] checkbox111:
Try using a wallpaper resolution of 960x800 this seems to work better than anything i've tried so far, and still looks good on standard launcher IMO.

So have set phone up for ADW for play, standard launcher for work related.

Now if someone did an app that automatically loaded the appropriate launcher at the right time like you can with themes on an HD2, that would be good.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Desibouy:
Has anyone tried this? I think it is Dell's Fault. dont think any other Android phone has wallpaper problems?

I will try 960 x 800 and let you know. I have tried all the above and used multiple launchers but prefer launcher pro. but still get the wallpaper crop. And someone mentioned about using the crop box. Yep even after using the crop box it zooms in. So no matter what it will zoom in,.

Il post once I tried.

Thanks
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Desibouy:
Ok tried the 960 x 800 wallpaper still zooms in. Before you say I HAVE USED THE Crop box and selected all of the wallpaper. still no luck :(
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] checkbox111:
Looking at the wallpaper in portrate and you can view all of the picture from top to bottom and side to side when you scroll, using ADW or LauncherPro?

If it's not, you're doing something wrong! works for me with every wallpaper i've tried with 960x800.

Landscape is obviously going to look different because you're now looking at the screen using a resolution with a height of 400 pixels.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Desibouy:
Man of knowledge,

height of 400? what would i need to be able to set a wallaper as landscape? :D one screen please :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] checkbox111:
400's wrong :rolleyes:

The screen resolution on the streak is 480x800, minus 36 pixels at the top of the screen for the status bar = 444x800 for a single screen.

And before all the knockers scoff at 444x800 the equates to a pixel count of 187, which knocks spots off the Galaxy Tab 170, Blackberry Playbook 170 and a laughable pre-historic 133 on the ipad bookreader.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Desibouy:
didnt we try this before? im sure i did. but yet again zooms in!!!! I saved the image as 480 x 800 and filled in white for the 36 pixels at the top. but the crop box filled the whole image but after setting it zooms in!!!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] EZ44:
It really pisses me off when people say "You must be doing something wrong because it works for me". I have never, repeat NEVER been able to get fullscreen wallpaper on my Streak (other thank stock wallpaper on 1.6 using the stock launcher). ADW or Launcher Pro 'ALL' crop/zoom the wallpaper on 1.6, 2.1 and now on the custom 2.2 Froyo build. There are Dell Streak fullscreen wallpaper issue posts all over the place so clearly everyone cannot be doing the same things wrong. I have resized the wallpapers using so many suggested sizes that I'm literally going mad. Changing the LCD density also has had little effect. It amazes me that an OS and/or phone can't do something as simple as make wallpaper fullscreen. I haven't heard of any other Android phone having nearly the same problems with this as the Streak. It seems like almost any other model works with 960x800 but God forbid the Streak do it.

Clearly I'm at my wits end with this BS and can't believe that no one has been able to figure this out yet, whether Google or Dell or the devs who make home screens/launchers or wallpaper apps or the Android community. Something is messed up and I wish I was smart enough to figure it out.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] checkbox111:
What am i supposed to say? i've done it so i'm better than you?

I'm nothing special, (although i do have an IQ of 141) but i only use about 20 when selecting an almost square picture using a selector tool that selects pictures of the same resolution :confused:

Basically it's a lot easier to get right than wrong :rolleyes:

My SDK Manager never works for screenshots since 2.1 update, otherwise i would post some pics for your perusal :eek:
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Desibouy:
+1 - Totally Agree. Im in the same boat and it is Mod Edit!! up!!

hmm could you not record a video and put on youtube lol. :)

then we can see what you doing different. I need to get a Screenshot for myself :(

@all,

my streak is not responding to my touch I keep pressing on it but nothing. have tried to restart and take battery out still same problem... :(

anyone else having problems?

Can you please not use swear words when posting thanks
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] checkbox111:
And what would i record the video with? the streak i'm trying to show screenshots of :rolleyes:

I don't own a video camera as i bought a streak to record video :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Desibouy:
ooh, thought another camera or perphaps a phone? webcam? friends or family, neighbour lol :)

do you want me to crawl on my hands too :D

please dude, it would help us alot
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] checkbox111:
Only ot one phone, a dell streak :o

Don't have one :rolleyes:

LauncherPro works exactly the same.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Desibouy:
Hi,

Erm its my own mistake as I wasnt clear, I meant Landscape mode. Not potrait. I think the potrait works fine still need to check but would love to be able to view landscape walls properly.

Thank You :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] checkbox111:
You have to be sensible with your picture choice, i choose this then changed it to 960x800 in photoshop.

It looks great IMO in both portrate and landscape. Although some of the lake in the bottom of the picture is obviously cut off in landscape.

The only issue i have with landscape is that with my icon rows at 7 look good in portrate but cramped in landscape.

This one would good in portrate and landscape as the main focus of the image in within the top half of the picture.

But you would never have any icons on your screen.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Desibouy:
well i havent tried your images as yet. but why does the lake get cut off? thats the mystery we all trying to figure out. the top half of the iamge works fine but the bottom doesnt.....

:confused::mad::confused::mad::confused::mad:

the girls pic, could you provide that for download :) i saw it elsewhere but i think it was a pespective view.

Thanks
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] checkbox111:
You won't see the entire image in landscape.

The snow image has a resolution height of 800 pixels, the Streak screen in landscape is only 444 pixels high, minus 36 for the task bar equals 408 total viewable pixels. And 800 into 408 doesn't go :(

Just use that one, who cares if there's icons covering their feet, who the hell is looking there :eek:

And to pee on your fries, they're not real, it's from a video game :(
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Desibouy:
I tried this size too and also the above one with the orangey wall.

but still the same thing it zooms in. I tried this black wall but it still zooms in.

hmm checkbox we need your expertise. I have tried everything like you asked. even tried to change the res from 480 x 800 potrait works fine but i tried landscape mode too with the same size but it zooms in!! why?

I need to buy a screenshot app.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] checkbox111:
There is no expertise involved :)

If screenshots were obtained by such a simple method as a screenshot app, i would buy one myself, you have to root your phone for any of them to work, something which i'm not prepared to do. :(
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] checkbox111:
Just use this picture, utterly, totally and completely awesome :)

This is portrate pic

You see this this in landscape :)

[Nexus One General] flak4:
Just updated my N1 AT&T version to FRF85B. Phone is only weeks old. Everything stock. The update was done via SD card.

Now none of my music is being added to the music player library. Only WMA tracks show up - no MP4 tracks. Not even the few MP3 tracks are showing up.

Oddly, the music will play via Astro just fine.

All tracks are in a folder called Music on my 8GB SD card (newly formatted with Fat32). Astro has no problems browsing the card nor does my laptop's card reader.

I noticed when I put the card in the phone, it became unresponsive after about 20 seconds after boot. Then the phone restarted itself. It's super fast and smooth as ever (loving Froyo) and no other issues have come up (so far).

Has anyone come across this issue?
[Android Themes] cypis:
Hello :)

First of all thanks goes to Daneshm90 for his script :)

I really like HTC_IME but JIT dont like it :( So I had to use other keyboard which is working with JIT. I found Swype but I don't like how it's looks like. I did't found any skin for Android Swype... So I've made my own HTC_IME like skin.

Here is the result of my work:

WVGA (now only portrait but I'll make landscape too) = N1, Desire, Incredible, EVO 4G, Liquid, etc

HVGA = Dream, Sapphire, Legend, Backflop, Eris, etc

To install new skin you have to download attached file for your resolution and fallow this steps (SDK needed):

1. Extract files.

2. Connect your phone to PC with enabled debuging mode.

3. Run Swype.bat

4. Wait untill the script finish.

5. Unplug your phone and you are ready to go ;)

Those seemed to work for my swype. It could be version specific.

You can also download only images.

If you downloaded images you can apply them by using some root explorer and replacing files or you can use apk manager (sdk needed) and fallow this steps:

1. Place your apk into this folder "place-apk-here-for-modding"

2. Run script and choose decompile.

3. Open folder "out".

4. Go to \assets\keyboards

5. Replace images

6. Run script again and choose compile

7. choose sign.

8. Your app with new skin is in folder called "place-apk-here-for-modding".

I tested HVGA version on HTC Magic 32A.

But I dont have WVGA device so if you will test it post your opinion.

If you want also that popup look:

Read THIS.

Sorry for my English :)
[Android Themes] Adamsville MITM:
*looks at big sign that says NO SWYPE APKS*

*runs away*
[Android Themes] MicroMina:
I always wondered if this was posibble.. Thanks a lot for this.

I'm confused how to install however.. i downloaded the images zip file but have no idea how to apply it. There is no such setting in swype settings. Any help??
[Android Themes] IOmega666:
i've installed it, its cool ! but i want it in blue xD can i edit the images but then where i put 'em ? and if i unrar the apk and edit it, i have to sign it :S but i dunno how .
[Android Themes] cypis:
You have to download apk file and just install or found app folder on your device and replace images.

You can use APK Manager to do this. Just put apk into correct folder run script and choose decompile, find your pngs, edit them and compile apk. And you have also option to sign application.

But this is a theme? And Swype is in beta.
[Android Themes] Mikey:
Remove swype.apk due too swype asked us to remove all apk's.

You can make this into a morph just too replace the images ;)
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
That wont work. morph cannot sign apk's and this will require signing the apk since its content will be modified.

Ur best bet now would be to create a simple script, where a user with swype running on their phone can connect it to their pc, the script pulls it from their /data/app folder, extracts it, replaces its png's with urs, repackages n signs it, uninstalls the version on the users phone and then installs the newly modified one. Let me know if u need any help creating the script ;)
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
K so heres my little simple script. This is how it works :

1. Requirements adb,java,windows

2. Have ur phone connected and run the script.

3. Once done u'll have ur themed swype installed on ur phone ;)

It basically pulls the apk from ur phone, extracts it, replaces the images, rezips it, resigns it, removes swype from ur phone, installs this modded version.

Hey Cypis, its wierd, when i try to modify with compression level -mx9 which apk manager uses, it force-closes me on the phone, however if i change it to mx0 which is no compression it works. Did u have these issues as well ? Reminds me i gotta add an option to customize compression level in apk manager. Admins, u should have no trouble with this script as it requires u HAVE swype installed on ur phone ;)
[Android Themes] cypis:
I didnt have these issues... thats great that someone care about make it working.
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Hmm, k. So perhaps its just me :(

So users who care about app size, you can edit the .bat file in any text editor of ur choice, and change -mx0 to anything from -mx1...-mx9. 0 being least/no compression, 9 being most compression.
[Android Themes] eViL D::
is it just me or are the images only hvga? aren't they supposed to be wvga?
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Not sure, dont own any wvga device. Works fine on my htc magic though, im guessing cuz its hvga :rolleyes:

Anyway in terms of script, i added a little thing more, it now backs up ur /data/data swype folder cuz some might complain they dont want to lose their swype dictionary. :rolleyes:

Link
[Android Themes] eViL D::
Hrmm, OP says WVGA.... ah well. I'll check back later. :cool:
[Android Themes] cypis:
OMG. I'm so sorry :) It's my bad. I made it for HVGA and I dont know why I wrote WVGA :confused:

//edit If I'll find more time I'll do WVGA version.
[Android Themes] ZeroBarrier:
Ok, I just had to ask. I noticed in your screenshots the Language notification overlay on the Q key is black. I've been searching on how to get mine black as I'd like to skin my Swype with an HTC skin.

Did you just edit the .png's to have that PL on there or did you manage to edit some other file (probably some smali file in the classes.dex)?

If you did change it (non-static/ changes depending on language selected), can you tell me how?

I use a Motorola Droid and while I love Swype to death, I totally dislike the stock skin it has.

Thanks for your time.
[Android Themes] lbsk8addict:
that looks so sexy
[Android Themes] cypis:
I didn't change anything :) Language notification in default is black.

I'll make skin for other resolutions.
[Android Themes] ZeroBarrier:
It's definitly not black in the Motorola Droid version of Swype.

He has update his original post. Its hvga, not wvga. So wait till he creates a wvga compatible one.

I noticed an app shortcut missing from the upper right of my home screen today. I called my GF with same phone and asked her what was in the upper right on hers (I set them up to be similar layout) and she had a blank but couldn't remember what it was either.

I know something was occupying that space and I thought it was useful enough not to move it to one of the side screens, but now I can't remember what it was.

It would sure be nice if there was a log of apps installed/removed that one could access after the fact.

I noticed after one of the updates that pandora went away, but I redownloaded it and it even kept my authentication. I removed slacker a while ago because it kept losing my login info.

I think a list of what we notice missing would be interesting, so please chime in (with missing items, not trolls)
[Nexus One General] xyellx:

Google changed some of their package names. This will cause some icons to disappear, it doesn't necessarily mean it was removed entirely.

That's what kills me, I don't remember.

I thought I would use it frequently so left it in a prominent position, but apparently they wiped my brain along with the app (or shortcut).

Should we guess what it was? My guess is google voice.
[Nexus One General] fubaya:
This won't help now but one does exist, you just have to install it beforehand. There is an app called AppHistory which keeps a list of everything you have installed and removed. I don't backup my apps and have found that useful once or twice to remember an app that I uninstalled and want to try again or something.

I just fully rooted my phone to the OTA 1.32.651.6 last night and everything was working fine. I completed a nandroid backup, updated the radio, and followed everything to a T. I haven't had any issues with my sd card until a few minutes ago when I shut my phone off and turned it back on. Now I am getting a blank SD card error and it is telling me I have to format the card. I don't understand why it was working after I rooted and now all of a sudden it is not. I even did another nandroid backup earlier today. Any help on fixing this would be appreicated.

I just got home and tried another 8gb sd card and my phone reads it just fine, so it's not the phone. Looks like somehow my SD card got corrupted during the restart. I tried putting my original card in a reader on my computer but in both mac os and windows, it is telling me I need to format the card in order to read it. Is there any other ways you can think of to get my data off of it? Also, since I am in root, is there any files you think I should put back on my memory card if my original one can't be saved?

Mine is doing the same thing. A few days after putting the latest Fresh on my phone it suddenly told me that my sd card dismounted and now needs to be formated. Trouble is the phone won't format it and it won't let me do it from my computer. I'm trying to find out what's going on but I don't know that there's anyway to salvage the data. My phone did this once before and I couldn't save anything which sucked, but it still formated the sd card. I'll report back if I find anything.
