Found this in the Android Themes > Post your Home Screen section

Decided to try something different with my screen and use BattStatt/Tajm widgets, however, mine ends up looking like so

Either I'm not setting something correctly :confused: or this doesn't display well on our Vibrants using custom fonts. I'm using Helvetica Neue. It works with the default DroidSans font but that defeats the purpose.

Please help! ><
[Vibrant General] Phromik:
You can't expect widget makers to plan for every font available. They test with default fonts only, I'm sure. Contact the devs maybe?
[Vibrant General] The_Chrome_Coyote:
How did you get the text icons for the launcher bar? I like them a lot
[Vibrant General] inku:
Tried the Helvetica Neue that comes with osx and is a bit better i think
[Vibrant General] ellesde:
I got the icons here: The Kobhens Iconset. It comes with some premade icons.

I used the .psd to create my own. Modified the text in photoshop and exported as .png.

I'm using LauncherPro btw. Not sure how to do it in ADW.

Have you guys tried to format the card inside the phone? unmount it then format (don't forget to do backup!)

Seems to work fine for me
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chluk2425:
we can write stuff into the card in our phone, but not by connecting to the PC then choose Mass Storage / Kies to copy file over there :(

There's a workaround. Not a good one, but at least it works. You can get full r/w access to the external sd card from within Kies, with the horrible Kies file-explorer.:o

tried changing the permissions in root explorer as well, no joy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikulec:
There is a easy way how to solve this. Plug in the cable, select Kies (on the phone), u dont have to run kies on your PC, after the Kies is running on your phone, on your pc there should be mobile phone connected, go there and there are both cards(in, ext) and u can use them.

Has anyone had luck with signal boosters on the dinc and or know of a good one?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] krelvinaz:
The stick on types are bogus.

You can purchase a signal booster from Verizon, but they are $199 (or $99 after rebate) but require a subscription to use as well.

http://tinyurl.com/lqb63e

There are other products as well, but they are typically north of $150 as well.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] magneticzero:
it doesnt require a subscription lol
[Droid Incredible Accessories] krelvinaz:
Think it was the AT&T one that did.

Not a bad deal, especially if you have a number of phones and a weak signal.

not sure that is what he was looking for though.

Think he was really asking about something you can attach to the phone itself.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] totmur:
Either attach or stationary. I get horrible signal at work and just need something to setup on my desk for better signal.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] azturbomini:
I have Verizon signal booster. It just broke so I need to send it in. It works great in my house within 20'. Farther than that its no better than a regular signal. The thing I hate about it is, if your talking on the phone and walk out of range it will drop your call. I do it walking out in my back yard by the pool and if I get into my truck and drive out of my driveway it drops the call. I have a home office and it does help while in it but no where else. I have very mixed feeling about it...
[Droid Incredible Accessories] g00s3y:
ask your work if you can connect your phone to their wifi network, free signal...
[Droid Incredible Accessories] totmur:
I work for a large corporation who has a closed network and religiously watches bandwidth usage. Can't use the wifi. Sadly a booster is my only option. I may just make one this weekend.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] g00s3y:
ahhh, well its time to get a different job then lol
[Droid Incredible Accessories] azturbomini:
Make one you say?! I am all ears!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] totmur:
couple different methods, if im successful ill probably post a tutorial on it.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] azturbomini:
Cool, thanks.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] obededom:
subbed for you to miraculously fix my signal problems also :p
[Droid Incredible Accessories] heffe2001:
If you're only getting 20' range on your booster, then it had a problem long before it 'broke'. I have mine set up in my basement, and I get 5 bars anywhere in my house (and that's well over 20'. It's set up in a location that also lets it cover my front yard, and well into my neighbor across the street's front yard as well (I REALLY need to get it set up in private mode). The signal drops in my back yard to about half, but I live on a hill, so some of the signal is being blocked by the ground between the phone and extender. Between that and my Wifi at home, I'm more than pleased with my box.

I will agree with the dropping of calls when you go out of range though, but that's the nature of the beast and can't be helped. You can't switch from a Voip-based call over to a cell tower, at least not with current tech...
[Droid Incredible Accessories] azturbomini:
I am going to try another one (sending this one back) and hopefully it works better. My WiFi n router also suffers from significant signal loss too. I always kid that our house is built on an old Indian burial ground. I do live in Arizona... Hummmm
[Droid Incredible Accessories] krelvinaz:
I'm in Arizona.... The spirits around here lift my signals higher... you must have bad mojo... :-)

The Verizon booster looks pretty cool, but I don't need one, signals here are great even at work though we don't have WiFi at work due to PCI compliance issues.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] veloslave:
Just a personal opinion possibly turned RANT!

Please people... just say NO to femtocell signal boosters... they are the most insulting rip off ever offered.

Call Verizon and complain about your signal where you live... do it every few months until they do something and guess what... they usually will.

Why pay them (a lot) your greenbacks for a piece of hardware to make up for their poor coverage in your area?

Why pay them (a lot) so they can use YOUR already expensive broadband on the expensive hardware to make up for their poor coverage?

Why pay them (a lot) so they can STILL CHARGE YOU MINUTES when you use the expensive hardware that works on the broadband you are paying for???

I know that some people feel they must have it... but seriously, this is a principle worth standing up for... this is like letting our government give us higher taxes... the government and Big Red (a company I like BTW) has got enough of our money... make them get the job done with what they have!

Thanks for listening so respectfully... I'm all done here :)
[Droid Incredible Accessories] heffe2001:
The ONLY way they can fix the signal where I live, would be to put a cell tower in my front yard. I currently don't WANT a cell tower in my front yard, so the femtocell will do nicely.

Also, my work paid for it, so it's no cash out of my pocket, they pay for my cell, so again, no cash out of MY pocket. 99% of the time, my outbound internet bandwidth sits unused, so it's no big deal there either.

Also, with the current sale, it's only 99.99 after the rebate, so it's not THAT expensive...
[Droid Incredible Accessories] madman34:
Wilson Electronics and a few others make a device, actually made for mobile use but works great if altered for home. It comes with a mag mount antenna for the top of the car and a dome type for inside the vehicle. I have a 12db gain wilson antenna on a pole up high and a mag mount inside the house, and a 12 volt power supply. Works great for everyone near me and even repeats EVDO ;-)
[Droid Incredible Accessories] jager420:
can you explain a little more detail about how you did that? I went to the site and the mobile attenna had to be connected with the amplifer and then the amplifer had to be connected to the phone. I got lost real quick. But i got some ****ty service and would like to do something like that.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mihneagabriel:
If you call verizon and complain a couple of times then ask to speak to a supervisor they will probably give you one if those cell boosters for free. Also call and ask if you can get a verizon/sprint hybrid PRL. That might help out depending in what towers are around you
[Droid Incredible Accessories] ToyTank:
This is from the vzw product page. So basically you are paying vzw to use your broadband to enhance their network.

"Where a compatible cell tower is unavailable, other callers may access the Network Extender when not in use by priority callers."
[Droid Incredible Accessories] GMFreak8:
I've got one of the wilson mobile boosters and it's amazing the difference it makes. I paid around $250 for the kit, so it's not cheap but where I live cell towers are spread way apart. I have one stretch of road where I drive to work each day that's about 30 miles long where without the booster I have no signal at all, and with the booster I can make a call and keep it with minimal chance of dropping it. Internet on the other hand is a little touchy. Keep in mind I'm boosting from no signal to two to three bars. As far as dbm goes it boosts it at least 30db. I can go from having no signal (-120dbm to having -89dbm in a "no signal" area. In areas with strong reception the booster will literally boost my signal to -19dbm. I've never seen a signal that strong. Only downside is if the signal is extremely weak you literally have to have your phone on top of the inside antenna to work, but it's better than nothing. I've got a setup at my camp for in home that is rated for a 65db boost versus the 35db boost of the mobile version. I'm 30 miles away from the nearest tower in that case and it boosts it from no signal (-120) to around -75dbm. That kit was $600. I rather invest the money in the wilson than get one of those verizon branded "extenders" that offload their issue onto your broadband connection. I rather pay and at least use the tower i'm paying for.

Anyway, for anyone who doubts the wilson system I can definitely say it works.

I got the 801212 mobile kit for my car

as far as the in home solution I got the 801245 amp a 800mhz and 1900mhz yagi antenna and a directional panel antenna for inside. I also used the ultra 400 cable for less loss.

repeaterstore is a great site to research options available. If you look around though you can find cheaper dealers.

Hopefully this helps. Hoping to add a little back to the community. :)

Also a great app for monitoring your signal and breaking it down into 1x and evdo signal strengths is "real signal" in the market. Awesome app, especially if you want to see the difference in signal between the evdo and 1x signal. Apparently the Incredible only reads the 1x signal dbm and displays that as the dbm rating, so you don't have any idea what the evdo signal is.

Can anyone tell me how i can replace the "click" sound for the Unlock screen on the new 2.2 ROM that was leaked? i want to use the Droid sound .ogg file instead of the unlock sound HTC put in.

I tried doing a adb push Unlock.ogg /system/media/audio/ui

but it didn't replace it,

I did it in recovery and it said it went through, but audio is the same

am I missing a command?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jdkoreclipse:
Did you mount system and data
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] NCX Designs:
hmm, not sure how to so i doubt it
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jdkoreclipse:

NEWB...Please Help

Hey guys,

I know this thread is a bit old but I am new to this stuff and have very little idea about how to do this.

Is there a resource somewhere here that explains the how to's for guys like me?

Or just a noob guide to making my dinc play a different sound when I unlock it.

Thanks so much.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] sunder74:
It was explained earlier in the thread. For this update zip method reboot into recovery. Go into mounts/storage mount system and data. Then flash your update zip just make sure to rename the audio file in the zip to the file name mentioned above. Hope that helps.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Stoney 666:
No... that is not a flashable zip. You need to extract the file from the zip, rename it and adb push to its location. If this doesn't make sense, don't bother cuz you can f#ck up your phone...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Comicazy:
Can any audio file be used for this? ie: can I rename laser.mp3 to unlock.ogg? Will that work?

Comic

Sent from my IncREDible.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] NCX Designs:
That will not work, you must convert the file from mp3 to ogg first, use this site to do that

http://media.io/

simply upload your file you want to use, select the format you want to convert to (.ogg for UI audio (ie: unlock sound, alert sound, etc)

before sending to your phone, be sure to rename the audio file to be exactly the same name (including Caps) ie: Unlock.ogg NOT unlock.ogg

I hope this helps, if it does, please click "Thanks"!

The reason for the caps vs lowercase is because this is a Linux operating system, in Linux, the OS see's file names as OS files if there named a certain way, take for example

if you put a folder called Media on your SD card's root, and then have another folder called "Notifications" inside that, the phone will show those files as Notification sounds when selecting them to change

if the folder was called media and not Media, the phone would ignore it If its on the SD card, but if its inside the System folder it won't.

Media>Notifications>Name.ogg <<SD card))

Media>Audio>UI>Name.ogg <<system/media/audio/ui) internal memory

but all the audio files inside the System/Media/Audio/UI folder have caps then lowercase.

Unlock.ogg

Lock.ogg

VideoRecord.ogg

KeypressReturn.ogg

KeypressDelete.ogg

Effect_Tick.ogg

camera_click.ogg

if you rename a file that doesn't exactly match what the system wants, it will not replace the existing one and still use the stock one.

make sense yet? (No Pun intended) lol :D

do you get it? :) (the UI folder must be inside the System/Customize/
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Comicazy:
What you said makes sense. Although I can't seem to get that website to work from my phone. Every time I click convert, I says cannot locate. Do I need to do this from a computer?

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] NCX Designs:
can't do it on your phone, it uses java and some other sort of code that won't work on a mobile phone.

simply save it to your pc where you know it would be easy to find and then just push it using ADB (make sure you move or save the file inside the tools folder of the sdk if you push it using adb or it adb won't find it
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Comicazy:
SUCCESS! I was actually able to use a different site using my phone. http://www.online-convert.com/

I then used root explorer to rename and copy the file into the correct system folder. Works great now. My only complaint is that it seems I can't control the volume of the lock/unlock sounds I chose using any of the volume settings. It's always on full blast unless I set to silent or vibrate. Any ideas? Thanks.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Comicazy:
SUCCESS AGAIN!! I did some research and found out you can change the system volume, which controls the lock sounds, via an app called Audio Manager. I just used the free widget version and lowered my system volume by one or two. Works great. I don't personally use the widget portion of the app. Thanks for everyone's help on this. Hope my trials help someone else find the answers they need.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] NCX Designs:
lol yeah, its media volume is what you want to control the sounds volumes, and you can control this under settings>sound>volume

be carefule with those volume apps they can screw up your speaker, some are designed to send more voltage to your speaker than it can handle making it louder but as an end result can fry your speaker and cause it to crackle or have static
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Comicazy:
Actually, media volume does nothing to adjust the lock sounds once you change them. System sounds is what you want to change. Although keep in mind that this also changes the volumes for 'sound on keypress' and 'audible selection' options. I just lowered mine from 7 to 6 and it made a HUGE different in the volume.

That's why I dont use them to make anything louder, but more to individually control each sound. If I want music or something louder, I'll plug my phone into some sort of external system.

You guys doing this on a stock sense rom? Because i've done the exact same thing and nothing changes on either the unlock screen or the camea shutter.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] willemrt:
I have a little problem with the way my SGX works with third party headphones.

When listening to music, everything is fine. Crystal clear sounds from the OS and from music.

However when I recieve a phone call, the sound wont come out of the headphones, forcing me to pick the phone up to my ear, which is of course exceptionally annoying.

Am I just missing a setting or could this be a problem with the firmware? I did reflash it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
Na it's a probleme with the jack allignement. Unless ur using Nokia or stock earphones u'll have this probleme (if i'm not mistaken, and i hope i am cuz it is annoying).

A workaround is using a nokia headset kit (ad-54/57 or whatever, remote won't work though), remove the crappy earphones and put ur good ones.

Might get a long cord though.

It would be perfect for me if the remote functions were to work, would make my day.

I think small adaptors exist also, but i'm not sure at all about that
[Galaxy S I9000 General] willemrt:
But I dont understand how it works brililantly for everything else but calls? That makes no sense.

And it doesnt just give crappy audio quality, there is no sound coming out of the earphones at all.

I actually hook it up to my car stereo as a makeshift car kit and has worked fine for everything but calls.. it cant be the jack alignment because then nothing would come out when playing music etc.. right?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tomtor:
I discovered the same (stock firmware). It's strange.

Excellent sound for Music and events, but no sound at all only when being called.

But do you say you CAN use the Samsung supplied earphones in that situation?
[Captivate General] bwolmarans:
You may have seen my whining posts about the things that soured my captivate experience, and a big one was for some absurd reason (probably to eat up more data minutes) they made it show ****ty looking videos in the youtube player unless you navigate through a bunch of menus to make them HQ. See that way, you use more data.

Anyway, at least one thing is better because I put a youtube player from the Evo on there and it is a little bit better. Still not perfect because the stupid thing still shows low quality at first, but at least in this youtube there is a single HQ button on the player by the fast forward one touch and you've got HQ.

So I'll take that tiny victory, however shallow, over AT&T and Samsungs herculean efforts to f- up the nice chips, speaker, and screen on this device. Note I didn't say hardware because I'm not a fan of the case overall.
[Captivate General] cachookaman:
the player defaults to lower quality if youre not connected to wifi so you use less data and it loads quicker. this would be useful to people who have the 200 mb data plan. IIRC it was the same when i had an iphone 3g a couple years ago.
[Captivate General] autoxer:
"a bunch of menus"? You tap the menu button, hit more, then HQ. It takes less than a second. I usually have it hit before the low-quality version is even buffered. Three taps is more than one, but it's not like they were asking you to do analytic geometry. Maybe I don't care because my fingers are fast, or because I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan.

As for their herculean efforts, if you don't use the AT&T/Samsung stuff, you don't notice any of it once you've rooted and enabled sideloading. At least I don't.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Mine defaults to high quality. Whenever I hit menu -> more the option in there always says "watch in low quality". I've checked several times because I was thinking the video looked pretty bad, but then I realized it was already in high quality mode.
[Captivate General] TheSopranos16:
My old HTC phone used to pick the quality based on available bandwidth. This type of functionality doesn't seem like it should be beyond google and samsung with their latest and greatest phone lol. Google owns youtube for god's sake.

[Captivate General] Qmotion:
What does sideloading do and how do I enable it. I too have an unlimited plan so I just want the best performance. I'm new to Android phones. I use to be a Nokia fan but got tired of waiting for the N8 or something nice from Nokia.

Not to Hi-jack this post but I'm open to any suggestions to make my Captivate a better user experience. So far I'm loving it !!
[Captivate General] autoxer:
There are, very nearly literally, a million threads on sideloading here. It means the ability to load apps not found in the Market--a feature AT&T disabled by default, without the ability to switch it in settings. Search for it, and you'll find how to enable it. Once it's enabled, you have the only real handicap AT&T put on the phone out of the way.
