[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InsightGoalie:
I used the GIMP. In GIMP you go to Color -> Colorize. Then you adjust the sliders to whatever you want. If it says that the image has to be a RGB image to colorize then you have to go to Image -> Mode and switch it to RGB. After you save it though, that's when you're going to have to redo the guides on the patch 9 png file as the GIMP will over write the guides. Then you have to compile them... It's a PITA but, it's easy.

I found the text field btw. There is five of them for the browser search. It's in the framework-res:

textfield_search_default.9.png

textfield_search_empty_pressed.9.png

textfield_search_empty_selected.9.png

textfield_search_pressed.9.png

textfield_search_selected.9.png

And the other ones that will be controlling the textfields are:

textfield_disabled_selected.9.png

textfield_pressed.9.png

textfield_selected.9.png

Remember those are all patch 9 png files so you'll need to redo the guides and compile them. The link I posted earlier that is a guide for patch 9's is very helpful for that. That and just Googling around is how I found it. If you want I can send up a zip containing all my text fields so you don't have to do the work. However, I know you have all the different colors, green, blue, cyan, etc... I only did red. Now that I figured it all out though, I'm definitely willing to help others figure it out.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InsightGoalie:
Not the same topic but, theming help. Does anyone know how to theme Gallery3D properly? Can it be done? I changed all the colors to colors I wanted and then tried morphing them. Well, after that Gallery3D wouldn't even launch. I later though that maybe I modified 9 patch files before I knew how to do it correctly. I went back over it and, nope. They're regular .png files that all I did was colorize them but, Gallery3D seems to choke and die if you try to morph it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MicroMod777:
Sweet. Which one of these is the .9.png that is messed up on my red theme? I have the same problem with my cyan theme and need to fix just that one image.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InsightGoalie:
Judging from my screenshot from the beginning of this thread (which is actually of your theme because I had already screenshot it for your thread). I would guess it is:

textfield_search_selected.9.png

Maybe others also. If you're going to fix one, I think I would just do them all and not have to worry about it. Those ones are pretty quick to do.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabakken:
I just downloaded SwiftKey Beta for my Nexus One, but every time I try to download a Language Pack, I get a small error message saying that the download was interrupted and I should try again, but it never works.

I'm running 2.2 and have tried on both WiFi and 3G.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanatos00:
Odd... I'd try the standard various troubleshooting first. A reboot, the uninstall and reinstall. I got SwiftKey without any problems.

Although they did say they had about 100k downloads a day since beta broke, so maybe their servers are feeling it?

It's a cool semantically-innovative way to type. Swype is fun to draw. In the end I'm still fastest and prefer a keyboard that doesn't have to do any prediction (currently using Better Keyboard)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinl1030:
download it from the market instead of using the apk file posted on the forum. works for me fine from the market but the apk i downloaded in the swift key beta thread i have the same problem
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamboking:
it works pretty good on my nexus one ..Nexus one is the best.
[Captivate General] dstevens:
First off I'm coming from the iPhone 3G, and HTC Aria and all I have to say is this phone is so slow when using it with an Exchange server. I have reset the phone several times and it will be running fast but as soon as I setup an Exchange profile, the phone slows down. It will 5 to 10 seconds to load an email then another 5 to 10 seconds to load the content of the email.

I really want to like this phone but can't handle the slowness. The HTC Aria is so much faster (why if it has a slower processor). Even my iPhone is faster (with 4.0) and that's not saying much.

Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
[Captivate General] Croak:
The Aria feels faster because it has half the pixels to push, so there's less overhead in just running the display and UI elements.
[Captivate General] harmon:
I use my Captivat with exchange. With no lag at ll. I have a very large mailbox with lots of folders and I haven't had a problem. My exchange server security settings do force me to set a password lock for the phone though.
[Captivate General] Croak:
Yeah, the password is annoying. Especially annoying since it's a numeric entry but the keyboard that pops up in in alpha, requiring an extra step. If I can't bypass it, I'd like a straight numeral only keyboard, with big numbers to make it faster.

My Milestone running 2.1 never prompted me for passwords when connecting to the corp server, but like most Android devices,(N1 excluded) the Email client was diddled by the manufacturer.

Besides the password annoyance, the email client on the Captivate is superior though, I'd say it's one of the best Android implementations of Exchange support yet (but then again, in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king :) ).
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Password is a policy enforced/pushed down from the exchange server. I know my corp. exchange enforces the password/PIN policy when I use WM. But supprisely, my Captivate didn't ask for one. It may asked but the screen didn't popup. My email app stayed in a blank screen for quite a few minutes. And somehow it get bypassed.

I know my IT admin won't be too happy to hear this.
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
Could it be your exchange itself? have you set the server to sync contacts? have you let it do that? is it syncing calendars? have you let that happen as well. How many messages are you making it download at a time, all of them? remember that while the phone has tons of ram each individual app runs in its own container so sometimes if it can't allocate ram fast enough you will see slow down. Also using exchange is a processor intensive task, do you have a task killer? can you go into settings and see whats running when you do this? these are things you should check. Your phone may seem real chipper and fast but when the big guns come out it'll slow down if there is a lot of apps running.

its akin to a windows comp running itunes, firefox, limewire, dos prompt, and vuze without issue...as soon as you start encoding a video on top of that, **** is gonna slow down.

I have an exchange server and I haven't been experiencing any problems, but I only have it set to download the last 25 messages and I use the server search to search for any old ones should I need them.

lemme know what you find
[Captivate General] kkeo:
No problems with exchange for me.On 3g it takes about 5 secs from clicking on an email to reading it. I'm moving from an iphone and the only thing I'm missing is the threaded emails.
[Captivate General] vjoom:
Hi, I have the same issue on my nexus one. Phone slow to a drag when syncing with Exchange. What i did was, log on to the exchange website on the computer, go to the setting section and then mobile phone section. Then delete all the mobile device ID associate with that account and setup the exchange account from the phone again. I never have any issue since.
[Captivate General] MSHampton:
I'm also getting slowness with Exchange. It takes me about 15-25 seconds just to pull up a new email. It "seems" like it's not actually getting the email until I try to open it, but I have it set to download the maximum size when it arrives.

Also, when I rooted the phone, it stopped asking me for the password on the unlock screen. Go figure. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] indigomontoya:
Hello. I have a AT&T GSM Touch Pro 2 and am visiting Spain soon for a little over a week. I am interested in primarily getting data services (not concerned with making phone calls). Can anyone give me info on if this is possible and what to watch out for?

I would like to get email access mainly, but would love to use google maps and other internet apps. Will these work still? Specifically, do I need to talk to AT&T at all and where or how do I buy/rent a sim card in Spain? Obviously, I want to keep this as economical as possible - how much should I expect to be charged?

Thanks for the help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fone_fanatic:
yes you'll be able to use your tilt2 in spain with data and 3G. spain's networks use 900/1800 gsm and 2100 3g (umts) and the tilt2 supports those bands.

There are several networks you can choose from in spain, among them are vodafone, telefonica (movistar), and Orange. Once you get there pretty sure they sell them in the airports but also in the supermarkets.

From my experience of traveling abroad (europe and middle east) the data rates on prepaid sim cards are pretty high. But its prepaid so it'll only use what you put in, no going over.

Try googling for vodafone spain, orange spain and telefonica spain and see if they're sites have the prepaid rates.

Overall you won't have to use your At&t sim card, which i highly recommend you don't because you don't want to come back to an enormous bill with international data (which i did once!)

Hope this helps and enjoy your trip
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] indigomontoya:
Wow! What a great and thorough response. Other than HardSPL for rom flashing, I have not specifically unlocked my phone. Do I need to do that before using a vodafone, for example, sim? I thought I read recently that AT&T will unlock your phone for this sort of thing - any experience with that?

Thanks again!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fone_fanatic:
Oops, my bad, that completely slipped my mind. Yes you will need to sim unlock your device. Call At&t and they will provide the unlock code for you. Tell them you are going overseas for business and they will offer you an international plan, just tell them your not interested and they'll ask for you imei number (have it ready before) its found under your battery, on the side of your box, or by calling *#06# on your phone and the imei will pop up in a notification.

They will give you the unlock code and for your device to prompt you for the code, you will have to put a non-At&t sim card in your phone. So either grab one from a friend that has t-mobile or just wait till you get there and make sure you have the unlock code with you ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] indigomontoya:
Perfecto! Muchas Gracias!

(Im practicing my spanish)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fone_fanatic:
no worries haha

not gonna even try my spanish, its horrible! but i understand it pretty well.

My gf did a semester abroad a couple yeard ago in spain and she loved it, enjoy the wine!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rockstar420:
can anyone help me out here? i flashed the zen rom, and i love it. the only problem is those tacky ass boxes around the widgets. i flashed that update.zip and it worked but only for the default "mode". if i try and change the mode/theme the widgets go back to the default "bubble-style" widgets. :confused:

pleeeease help me peoples
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thatguythatdid:
well i could be a smart ass and say read the thread cuz i personally posted a way to get rid of them but I won't. The best way to get rid of them on any version is to open up com.htc.resources.apk find container.png and either put a clear mask on them using gimp. or change them to something else or delete them then adb push the com.htc.resources back to /system/framework
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rockstar420:
thanks man. you got me on the right track. do i need to be in recovery to push the file? it keeps tellin me that the com.htc.resources is read-only
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thatguythatdid:
read the adb for beginners link in my signature and it tells you how to do it
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnt8902:
Is there by chance that the G1/Dream will support 4G network with T-mobile sence they say that they are coming out in the future?
[Droid X General] Grims:
What's at the bottom of the phone the cpu or radio? Whatever it is it is being taxed like crazy by something when the phone is idling with nothig running, including widgets.
[Droid X General] synplex:
Same here. After the recent update Im still getting the stuck at 90% indicator, and after I disconnect the phone's bottom will stay hot for th:(e rest of the day... I'm worried it might blow in my pocket.
[Droid X General] exempli_gratia:
It's actually below the battery that gets the hottest, so I doubt the battery is in danger of blowing; can't be good for it's longevity though. At least for me it seems to be associated with charging, so actually doesn't seem bad while in pocket.
[Droid X General] Grims:
Seemed to be push exchange email doing it.
[Droid X General] onelifexv:
Explain? I have push exchange email and see no problems.
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
It must be that new 'Kill Switch' that Apple says is in all phones :)
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
Can anyone get that to happen? Cuz I can't....
[Droid X General] veeeee:
This happened to me last night after rooting my phone. The phone was hot and the battery died on me. I read on another forum someone posted that the exploid executable was still running in the background and you need to kill it manually from the shell or reboot. So that might be the cause of it.
[Droid X General] mcmexican:
I can't get it to do that either tried 10.

-McMex
[Droid X General] Izord:
I took mine back on the first day after I bought it when it did that. It was also locking up requiring battery removal 5 times in the first day. The kiosk where I bought it tried to tell me it was the network being overloaded was causing that. I said 'BS', either give me a new phone or a loaner till you get me a replacement, so they gave me a new phone on the 16th.

Have not had any trouble with the new one. Battery lasts three times as long as my evo did.
[Droid X General] synplex:
Well after fully charging and draining my phone about 5 times, I'm seeing that it still didnt last more then 4-5 hours with minimal use. I just went to my closest Verizon store and got a new battery for free. It's only been 4 hours, but my phone isnt as hot on the bottom( by speaker) and its still at 78%, which is much better. :)
[Droid X General] mdhaliwal:
I thought the phone reported in 10% increments :/
[Droid X General] synplex:
Funny I thought I read 78%... now its says 70%. Maybe it was always 70.

[Desire General] mmorselli:
I want to move some some huge apps data dir on sd card, to free internal memory. /data/data/com.google.earth, for example, is 17MB !

So, I make a folder /system/sd/data/ moving in com.google.earth and doing symlink under /data/data

ln -s /system/sd/data/com.google.earth com.google.earth

but, at reboot, symlink are still here, but folder /system/sd/data disapears with all contents...

Why ? Where wrong ? :confused:

(i'm using MCR R4 with AP2SD++ )
[Desire General] beidl:
I believe that the A2SD script moves all data to internal memory and removes the data dir from SD.

It's not even recommended to move data to the SD card because it's very insecure and can cause force closes.

At least that's how it was on the G1 and the A2SD script is most probably taken from there.
[Desire General] mmorselli:
well, looking into A2SD script I found this:

# don't allow /data/data on sd because of upgrade issues - move it if possible
if [ -d /system/sd/data ];
then
busybox cp -a /system/sd/data/* /data/data/;
busybox rm -rf /system/sd/data;
fi;

And I agree, if you move all /data/data phone never start without SD, but all what I want is move some, less used, big application, link Google Earth. So I've call the folder /system/sd/4data, to prevent script deleting, and seems to works fine, it survive at boot, Google Earth starts and I have 17Mb more memory free.
[HD Mini General] dudesimo:
Does anyone knows how to change languages from the default language into English in the htc hd mini?

:confused:
[HD Mini General] MvBoe:
Language is fix and can only be changed by flashing another ROM, AFAIK.
[HD Mini General] shammanCZ:
There is a application called setup in start menu, its a HTC Sense setup program, if you launch it, it will give you a chance to choose language you want to install for HTC Sense. Worked by me.
[HD Mini General] docshaz:
You will need to look at this page

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694409

Download the program. Follow the steps as he says..

Make a new folder and extract the file to that.

Then go to double u double u double u dot shipped-roms dot com /shipped/Photon/

and choose the ROM that you want (You can choose the latest Europe or Asia eg RUU_Photon_HTC_Europe_1.36.401.1_Radio_Signed_32.2 803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe or

RUU_Photon_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.07.707.1_Radio_Signed_20 100305_Ship.exe

or GCC if you are in Middle East.

Then download this file and use win rar(right click on setup file and find to extract the RUU_signed.nbh file from this Europe or Asia ROM file to put in the folder u have made.

Run this and You will have English with the Latest ROM version!

It works 100 percent dont get scared by the trouble shooting comments!

Just read thru the pages and then follow wht I have told you!Plz comment how it went.

Or you may use another program called OS Kitchen.Search that in this forum and see how it goes.Mine works perfectly as I did with this method but OS kitchen also helps!

Hi guys, I just bought a HD mini on Ebay, turns out its from Taiwan and is all in Chinese, does anyone know if I can put an English ROM on this? I'm in IT and pretty handy with working things out, but I wanted to make sure that it would accept it before I end up with a broken phone!

[HD Mini General] eyprince:
Managed to work it out i think!

Thanks a lot...
[Captivate General] decepticon:
So I just got it around 12:00 my time and after spending that time with it all I have to say is wow!

From the inventive mechanism to remove the back, to the speed of booting up, to DLNA (which I never really knew what it meant till today,) to even Touchwiz not being *that* bad.

When I first got it I immediately rooted it and allowed non-Market apps. After that I went straight into removing all AT&T bloat (would have kept Mobile Banking but my bank isn't supported.)

My first impression was "damn that thing is huge" (yea yea that's what she said) and after putting it together and getting a feel of how solid it was, I was blown away.

Generally when someone mentions Samsung I instantly think of Fischer Price toys in terms of feel and while not up to HTC's build quality....I think this is different...not better or worse just different.

For some reason Root Explorer always sees my System partition in RW mode already...not sure why but no worries at the time. Wireless tether is sorely missed. My one qualm is the fact the /sdcard is the internal storage and my actual card is /sdcard/sd. I have one of those Chinese knockoff iPads with Android on it and it sees internal as /flash.

Not a deal breaker but just one less headache.

Coming from an HTC Magic I am used to 45-60 second boot times so I was shocked when it booted up in about 25 seconds. This hummingbird can really sing!

The camera is on par with the iPhone 4 if not better in terms of quality, never used the iPhone 4's camcorder so can't compare it but I love the one on my Captivate.

I even setup a DLNA server on my Mac Mini so I can test it out, looks like it's a winner as well.

I would love to replace the AT&T splash and boot screens with a default Galaxy S if at all possible but otherwise I love it. Thank you Sammy for such an amazing device.
[Vibrant General] bl4ckdr4g00n:
Unable to turn it on. totally bricked :confused:
[Vibrant General] zoid_99:
So... Are you unable to turn it on due to no fingers?
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
Lol yea what happened?
[Vibrant General] evnldr:
Well, we need a bit more info.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
1. have you tried "power button" ? :)

2. have you charged the phone ? :)

on a bright side, you are the 1st one !
[Vibrant General] narynan:
Maybe your battery is loose? Not to mention that bricking a

phone is usually due to screwing up a software flash. So, is brick really the right word?
[Vibrant General] Schnazzy:
LOL!!

Try holding down the volume down button as you turn the phone on...see if that does anything.
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
Only time I'd allow the "First" comment to be used in a thread.

Im guessing CW Recovery...
[Vibrant General] bl4ckdr4g00n:
Thank you guys

I think it's bricked, and unrecoverable.

After several flashing, It suddenly turned off then never woke up again. Any effort so far is hopeless
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
What were you flashing? Give more info and maybe ppl would/could help you!
[Vibrant General] bl4ckdr4g00n:
I tried with captivate stock firmware, i9000 international firmware, then I flash back to vibrant stock firmware.

After had things done with Odin, my phone restarted, and it was the last time I saw my baby working as a smart phone.:confused:
[Vibrant General] DAKIDD236:
Did you try to reboot the phone into recovery or download mode?

no, a completely blank screen.

no icon, no GUI, no nothing :((
[Vibrant General] fykick:
Yeah, weird...I just flashed back to US firmware and now my phone is totally unresponsive to everything. Keep in mind I've flashed back and forth several times...even once thought my phone was bricked because the power button wouldn't even turn the screen on. But after holding the correct buttons it finally booted into download mode. I was even using my phone earlier just fine, and having it run quadrant test of 1700, but as soon as I flashed back to 100% stock US firmware, my phone now no longer boots. Go figure lol.

Though this time I think it has bit the dust for real, lol. So be weary of flashing back to US firmware if you are flashing a lot of different other firmwares. Cuz I think something happens and the key combinations get deleted so it refuses to boot into any mode.
[Vibrant General] pychobj2001:
I"m at the phone to pc screen..but the Home button is not a "button" it's a touch sensitive button on my vibrant and it won't go into download mode...

I got here because i flashed the custom kernel to put the market and data on a ext4 partition...and it reversed my volume buttons and reversed the routing of sound..headphone speaker..that stuff....so i couldn't hear anything...so when i went to reflash stock t-mobile firmware it told me not to unplug for like hours..it wasn't doing anything.....i took the battery out and now i'm stuck at phone to pc...i think i might just use the warranty..seeing as u can't do a think with it...atleast i can't that is..i feel like a moron...

the forum said to work on com7 but com4 was showing up in odin...i couldn't get it to go on com7 so i thought it should still work....

I hold volume up and down..then hold home with those..then power for 2 seconds..let go and nothing...it doesn't recognize i'm holding the home because it's a software based button..the home key that is..and with no software...no button...so i'm afraid this screen means bricked...adb reboot download won't work either...i'm gunna get it exchanged in the morning..under buyers remorse..
