[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sebrina:
As most know the Galaxy S series will soon have 4 variants, one for each carrier will this section break off to 4 different sub-forums?

I know usually you'll be able to find ROMs here but say we get a CDMA variant the unlocked GSM version won't work (or at least I think it won't). Just wondering how this section will play out since this is sort of a first for a phone to come to all 4 carriers in a different variant with different specs/features.

Money is not an issue.

Looking at Dell streak, galaxy S and Desire.

Have thought Abt going to the darkside but like

If money is not an issue, then go for the iphone 4, I meet yesterday a mate that works apple, he has one, and I was using it last night, the pictures taken with are great, and no signal problems at all, we where inside in a pub, I tested the phone for 30 minutes, doing everything with it, multitasking etc, no probs at all. Once my contrat is finished, I will get one myself.

Or maybe a Desire but not an Iphone because the OS isn't as modifiable than Android..

Dell streak is a really good phone but I personally would love to have a HTC Evo 4G...

And plus it is ready for Gingerbread...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] roddiedroid:
Dell sounds like a good option. I personally won't buy a HTC next time and won't recommend HTC to anyone since what happened to my phone after their recent firmware update. It took so long to roll out and then almost bricked my phone making me to switch back to the old version of firmware. No decent phone manufacturer will send out an update that fails so bad without any support.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] liljom:
the best advice I can give to go a place where you can try these devices, and than make a decision.

I'm sure I will buy a Desire after the Hero. I tried and I love it, big screen, fast, has 2.2 soon and very responsive : )

The original firmware can be found in c:\program files\sony ericsson\update service\db\13xxxxxx\blob_fs\

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blubber83:
Hi,

I was trying to modify status_bar.xml in framework-res.apk. I downloaded the source from git, and started changing the xml files. Then I used aapt to package them into an apk. However, when I move the binary status_bar.xml to some other framework-res.apk that worked before, I get stuck in a boot loop. I compared both status_bar.xml's in a hex editor, and it seems aapt inserted a lot of zero bytes (see screenshot, left the new one, right is the working one), at first I thought it might have something to do with UTF-8, but setting another encoding didn't do anything. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
Yeah, you're right, file on the right was built using new encoding introduced in Froyo and it can't work on Android <= 2.1 . It's used when you set minSdkVersion to 8.

But you said, that this one is ok and that normal encoding ("normal", cause it was here for last 2 years) on the left isn't working. I don't really know, why.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blubber83:
The status_bar.xml on the right is from this AOSP Desire rom. I just tried to built it with minSdkVersion set to 8 and it seems to work. Thanks for the help!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blubber83:
Got one more question on the subject. It's working now, in the sense that I edit the XML file, use aapt to build an apk, then move the binary xml to the original framework-res.apk. When I try to sign the homebuilt framework-res.apk and boot my phone it goes into a boot loop. Is there any way that you can replace framework-res.apk without resigning all other apps?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
I think you must install it through an update.zip file.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blubber83:
And right you are. Thank you very much :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blubber83:
And here I am again. It does seem to work, signing it and putting it into an update.zip, however, when I boot my phone, it gets to the sim unlock screen, and it starts FCing. Logcat has the following messages:

W/PackageManager( 400): Unknown permission android.permission.VIBRATE in package com.google.android.gsf
W/PackageManager( 400): Unknown permission android.permission.WAKE_LOCK in package com.google.android.gsf
W/PackageManager( 400): Unknown permission android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS in package com.google.android.gsf

Basically it shows these messages for all applications, for all permissions. The weird thing is, I tried this yesteray, right after your post and it worked fine. But now it doesn't work anymore. This is, by the way, the newest framework-res.apk from git, no changes.

@Axelman8

thanks bro for your reply.

whats custom rom??

for factory reset i do the following

(start/utilities/default settings)

my phone doesn't have any gsensor for autorotation.

acer e101

processor Qualcomm MSM 7225 528 MHz processor

256MB RAM, 512MB ROM

Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional (major version 2,minor version 004)

there is an option named screen under settings/system

there in orientation there are three options

potrait(default)

landscape(left hand)

landscape(right hand)

when i set it to landscape mode, all the options including my today screen switches to landscape mode. but when someone calls or i try calling someone all the option switches to potrait mode. and it does not switch back. so all i have to do is go back to the above option to switch it landscape mode.

what i want is when i switch to landscape mode the dialer should be viewed in landscape instead of potrait and stayed that way unless i change it to potrait from the setting option.

(hope you'll can understand my need)

A few days ago I found a detailed guide about porting HTC apps to non htc-ROMS. It was a ****load of work, but doable I guess. In the example he ported an htc app (music player?), by using nice constructions with opening and resigning apk's, pulling necessary parts of the htc.framework and more "mojo jojo".

Problem is: I really can't find the guide anymore, and I have been testing that search function for way to long....

So is there anybody that remembers where I am referring to perhaps?

Hi, I've got my Galaxy S for 3 days now and can't figure out how to change the notification tone for calendar reminders.

Searching the net and this forum did not bring me really further (there is supposed to be a "more" under settings but it is just not shown for me).

Thank you for your help and sorry if it's a dumb question it is my first Android after years of HTC WM. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dbtomas:
1) On SDkard make a new map called; media.

Inside the map of notifications attach your personal mp3.

The program Calendar Snooze lets me choose an alternative tone for reminders BUT additionally to the original tone (but still better than nothing).

There is a hint screen in Calendar Snooze saying that one should disable the default alert in the calendar to exclusively use the one chosen by yourself - what of course I can't do.

My friend's HTC Legend shows (within the calendar app) the option to change the reminder tone.

And yes I read something about reaching the "more" option in the calendar by using hw keyboard or trackball both not available for us.

Any further hints on this highly appreciated :)

I hope i put this in the right section.

Long and short yesterday I started having market issues where anything I would install would get stuck on installing on the market app but in the notification bar it would say it was installed. I figured something was screwy so i did a full wipe and installed another Rom. The issue repeated itself on the next 3 Roms i tried even when i went back to a 2.1 build.

I also noticed that my phone likes to remove the stuck on installing app's on a reboot. I am not using Apps2Sd.

Is anyone else having this problem? I did a few searches but could not come up with a solution.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_Bag:
Had the same/similar problem with the OTA froyo build (stock), Apps would constantly report they had failed to download, and market would crash if i tried cancel a download while another was running.

Now even after going back to stock froyo the issue is still there after wiping.

workaround is to kill the market app, but that doesn't solve the issue. I think something is stuck on the google server side.

If I sign in with a different google account, things are fine.

I signed out of my google account removing the sync. I then pushed the vending xml to the phone and rebooted. Signed back into my google account and now the phone is no longer getting stuck on installing.

how did you 'sign out of your account'.

Can you precisely make a list of steps to follow, not omitting anything? Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kavyt:
I sure can :)

1. I went into setting accounts & sync and removed my gmail account.

2. I then moved the vending_preferences.txt file in this thread to my sdk folder and renamed it to vending_preferences.xml

3. I then used adb to push the file to /data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs/

4. I then rebooted the phone.

5. Went back into accounts and sync and added my gmail account again.

6. Market stopped doing the getting stuck on install garbage.

*Update*

You do not have to reboot (Step 4) you only have to kill the market after you push the vending_preferences.xml file to your market. However if it does not work try the reboot method.
