[Android Software Development] greysight7:
hello I am wondering if someone can help. I would like to create a simple wallpaper test app. I have tried a few things with no success. eventually I started playing with gallery codes and have a few achievements. but...I am not sure how to attach a wallpaper function to the gallery. i am new to all this (I am only a few months into learning Droid apps with eclipse) is there someplace where I can find complete java coding and possibly the xml files for a working wallpaper? I cannot build from scratch but I am getting better reading the source code creating buttons etc etc.

another option is how can I insert a save as wallpaper function to the working gallery I have? I am assuming I can set a long press function but I am not sure how to go about that either. I do have a tutorial for creating long presses but I am not sure about the proper java setup to accompany this.

any help will be appreciated. keep in mind I am new to both java and android coding. in other words keep it as simple as possible please. or if someone has a simple wallpaper app and they don't mind sharing the source code... that would help immensely..

Hello all,

On Eclair (MCR r3.1) I used to edit framework-res.apk by pulling it using adb, unzipping, changing some graphics, zipping back up and pushing it back. It used to work completely fine. I tried doing this on Froyo (MCR r7 to be precise) and it just stops sense loading and just forces the phone to reboot. I thought I'd maybe copied a bad image or something so I tried to push the original back and it still wouldn't start sense. Luckily, I had nandroided before I started so could just restore but was still a bit miffed. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks, Rowan.

Hello,

I unfortunately (like many others) received my EVO with the OTA update being performed. I was excited to test flash video on my favorite website but had intermittent results. The sound would work on some videos but not others. I was wondering if some other EVO users with other roms installed could try and post their results.

The website is otaku-streamers.com

The video are in a streaming mp4 format, some work fine but other's have no audio. I have also tried many other web browsers but with no success.

Example:

1. Hajime No ippo new challenger works with video and audio synced.

2. 07 Ghost loads video but will not play sound.

Thanks,

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] anilo:
First of all, I'd like to say HELLO to all forum members!

I've purchased my original tmo mytouch 3g in September 2009. Now that 1 yr is almost over and the warranty will be void, I'd like to try and run 2.2 on my phone to see if things will improve (this phone is sloooooow). I've spent ~2-3 hours reading the posts and I came to realize that I am completely lost :confused: I always considered myself a tech savvy guy but what was I thinking!?! I have absolutely no idea whatsoever what a goldcard or SPL is. Anyways, I will try hard and achieve my goal.

Keep me in your prayers :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] anilo:
It's my great pleasure to announce that I officially rooted and flashed my MT3G as of now. It's running CM 5.0.8-DS (Android 2.1) but I will try 6.0 (2.2) soon! Even now, I like my phone much much better...

If any newbies out there need instructions, feel free to contact me!

Thank you for reading my adventure on this forum :D
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
From what I understand, the Incredible has 512 MB RAM Memory. Under my setting though, it says phone memory total space 748 MB, available 608 MB. what am I missing here? How much memory is available for RAM and how much is available for the ROM?

(phone internal flash storage is 8 GB and SD Card is separate.. all of that is understood).
[Droid Incredible General] MadSage:
748MB is your ROM. This is where the system image is stored, applications, etc.

512MB is your RAM. This is like "live" data, where applications currently running are storing their temporary data, etc.
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
okay, so the RAM is not displayed under the settings then uh?
[Droid Incredible General] MadSage:
I don't believe it is.

However, there are several system information apps that will show you your current RAM usage, which apps are taking up how much memory, etc. Just search for "system" in the market, and you'll find plenty.
[Android Apps and Games] wowstigmark:
Hi I wasn't sure if this should go in general or apps, sorry if it's mis categorized.

When my phone goes into sleep/standby mode, I lose the app that is open. It gets shut down automatically. This is fine most of the time, but doesn't work in situations where I'm using the app.. Like on my jog, using sportypal, I lose the session and information because of the shut down. I can't seem to figure out a setting that fixes this. With the longest standby option only 30 minutes.

Is there a hack or app that will help, or if I'm an idiot, what have I missed..

thanks for the help in advance.

The first thing that came to mind was you might have a Task Killer running and maybe a bit too aggressively. If this is the case, then you can just go into that app and uncheck the things you don't want killed. If that isn't the case, then check out this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717303 . Hope this helps...

Thank you friend. It was the aggressive task killer.. Much appreciated. Just saw the tasker thread while searching previously and I'll be downloading that when I get home from work.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciuino:
someone has the kernel 2.6.34.2 overclocked to 710mhz
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Whatever difference you perceive over and above what you get with 328 MHz is 100% placebo. The only thing you accomplish with "710" is that you risk destroying your phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Achal3241:
how is it a placebo, if it was a placebo then overclocking to 710 would not risk "destroying" his phone, even going to the stock 528 would be a huge difference
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
It is placebo because it HAS NO BENEFIT.

And just to make it clear, NOT everything that carries a RISK has a benefit.

Connecting 24 vdc into the USB plug at the bottom of your phone has a huge risk and ZERO benefit.

EVEN IF the CPU could spin at 710 MHz (which it CAN'T), doing so would have NO BENEFIT -- there is FAR FAR FAR more to performance than simply making things cycle faster. I.e. what you plan on doing about the memory bus bottleneck?

[Captivate General] saint168:
I have one more week before my 30 days is up. I need to make a decision if I should keep my Captivate very soon. Do you think Samsung will be able to fix the GPS issue? Can it be fix by a firmware update? Is it a hardware problem? I don't want to live with this problem for the next 2 years.

The time it takes for Captivate to get a lock is one problem but the GPS accuracy is a bigger problem for me. I can be driving down the street and all of a sudden the arrow will jump to a neighboring street. Sometime I stop at a stoplight but the arrow continue on. Basically it's unusable.

Last night I used Glympse to share location from my wife's iPhone 4. The 2 phones were sitting side by side. For 15 minutes, the iPhone's location was steady while the Captivate location kept moving within a 500 yard area.

I've try every solution I could find and none of them would fix all the problems I have.
[Captivate General] metaltyphoon:
Im at the same page as you... i have two week from my 30 days. This phone is awsome.. the battery is good enough for me. But thw goa is trowing it off very badly... im forced to go to iphone 4 since i muat stay at att cuz of family plans... shame.. i love this phone and i will wait for an update till the very last date..
[Captivate General] Brian_W:
I had the same GPS problems as everyone when I first got my Captivate, I even tried the fixes by changing the server and enabling skyhook, etc. Then I flashed the JM2 ROM from the Development thread, and my GPS works great now! I always get a lock within 1-2 minutes on a cold start, and within 10-15 seconds on a warm start. The accuracy does jump around a bit, but it is usually within 15-20 feet.

Not to mention the ROM just flies, especially with the Lag fix.

Cheers

[Captivate General] madjsp:
Do you have the message bug that does not allow gmail and texts to clear? That it wkly I always go back to stock.
[Captivate General] thindery:
Does your google navigation work with the flash rom? I can never get it off of the "searching for GPS",
[Captivate General] Brian_W:
I have seen it a few times, but mostly it does clear.

Cheers

Brian
[Captivate General] Brian_W:
Yeah I just tried it. It did take a bit longer than normal to acquire since I am at work and inside a 6 story building, but I just put it by the window and in about 2 minutes it acquired 4-5 sats, launched navigation and it said searching for GPS for about 9-10 seconds. I am VERY happy with the JM2 ROM with lag fix.

Cheers

Brian
[Captivate General] thindery:
Well you talked me into flashing this rom and seeing if it is any improvements. The GPS issue is the only thing holding me back on if I should keep this phone or not. I have a week to decide and hopefully this JM2 ROM does something. Was the ROM designed to help GPS problems?
[Captivate General] typ44q:
I am in the same situation as you, I really love the phone but do not want it if they can not get the GPS working properly.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on flashing the ROM!
[Captivate General] madjsp:
The only way I can get a text to clear is if I click each individual text that I receive. It stopped me from using the stock rom.

Anyone knows about a bubble level app that works in Acer S200?

I tried some freeware but they give me error insted of open the application.. :(

And this is a app so usefull for me... :rolleyes::):o

thanks!
[neoTouch S200 Themes and Apps] madmax1379:
"bubble level cab" with the 2 dll of the hd2 in windows folder... Run perfectly.

take care lot of the other use the "light captor" that's why they don't run because Hd2 or omnia or S200 "light captor" doesn't have the same drivers....
[neoTouch S200 Themes and Apps] StRuTcH:
.

thanks for the answer madmax1379! :)

but I didn't understand what you mean by "bubble level cab".. Is it the name of the app??

are you talking of jObro's BubbleLevel v1.02 in the HTC Diamond section?

Is so... what 2 dll of the hd2 in windows folder are you talking? :confused:

Thank you! :o

[Nexus One General] gIMpSTa:
I debated if this belongs in Q&A or General, I think General, but mods please move it if I'm wrong.

I'm running the latest CM6 nightly. I have been flashing almost nightly (skipped few nights here and there) and this morning I decided to completely wipe my phone first before flashing latest + gapps.

I've gotten everything set back up and am noticing some different behavior with the stock E-Mail app. I have an Exchange Activesync connection for my work e-mail. I have server side rules set up on our exchange server that move specific e-mails to specific folders (completely outside of the inbox, but within my mailbox, obviously). Up until this morning, if mail came into one of these other folders, my phone did not notify me (this is partially why I have them set up this way, that and for organization purposes). After wiping and resetting things up, however, if a message comes in (never even hits my inbox) I get an alert for a new message. If I goto my email it's (obviously) not in my inbox, I can of course goto menu/folders and find the e-mail that triggered the alert in the appropriate sub folder.

I don't believe I'm overlooking any options to disable this, and am kind of curious why it suddenly decided to start behaving this way. I know some people have complained in the past that the email app doesn't work this way, myself however, preferred it the "broken" way.

FWIW, I already own Touchdown. I preferred it to the stock email app for the longest time, but once the stock app got the few options I was forced to use touchdown for, I switched back to stock. I know I could fix this issue by just using touchdown, but I'd rather just keep using the stock app if I can.

Anyone else seen this or have any suggestions?

Edit: nm, found the git commit responsible for this new behavior. Perhaps we will get an option to disable/configure this before cm6 is final.
[Nexus One General] Matt_TX:
I have been having a similar issue. How did you fix it?
[Nexus One General] gIMpSTa:
I didn't. It's a new "feature" you could push email.apk from an earlier Rom (rc2 should do it) or wait and hope it becomes a customizable option. I'll proly end up pushing an older apk myself tomorrow.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma1nz:
I believe Cookie's Home Tab is a Manila 2.5 mod, so needs to be installed accordingly, not to bare 6.1. I had been playing around with Energy Cookie GTX and find it very agreeable. Before then I used Nuts 6.1, which is excellent indeed as far as WM6.1 ROMs are concerned.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma1nz:
If your device is working properly and the process went as it should: is your device detected by computer and connects via USB at all? Check the USB connection tick in AS, File, Connection Settings. It must be ticked in order for you to be able to synchronise.

POSITIVE EXPERIENCE WITH A LITTLE NUDGE AND A NAME DROP FROM XDA!

Bought and just received one of these hybrid TPU/Hard Plastic cases: http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=44427&cat=4947

Very nice. Fits snug and feels slim still (I have been going naked, and finally decided to get a few cases).

It actually IMPROVES button functionality (Unlike some other TPU style cases I've read about) for those of us who's EVOs have a difficult power button. I really like using it with no battery door, so the red back shows through like a clear battery door would (Still have 2 of Joey's battery Doors ordered though!, and YOU SHOULD TOO!!!)

One complaint is that it shipped form DayDeal with a crack in the back, seen in the attached picture. I have written DayDeal to see what they say, and will update this post with a verdict if/when they do..

EDIT: They are sending me a new one free of charge, and are seemingly lettimg me keep the defective/cracked one. Had to arm wrestle a little, but they agreed. I would recommend purchasing from them still.
[EVO 4G Accessories] timtlm:
Cool, thanks for the info. I actually ordered this one off of ebay, but am still waiting to get it. You can get it for a few bucks cheaper. I also got one of the standard TPU cases, and they are pretty nice. The standard TPU cases have a great tight fit, but as mentioned, you need to add some tape to get the buttons to react better. So, I'm glad to hear that the buttons work well on these. The other reason I don't like the TPU cases is because they are not of great quality. They just feel cheap because of the edges not being smooth (excess plastic). Definitely worth the $5 price tag, but I want something a little nicer looking on my $450 phone.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Smoke-Hybrid-Flexi-Skin-Cover-HTC-EVO-4G-/400142192129?pt=PDA_Accessories

Also, I would definitely be demanding a new one because of that crack. Hopefully they don't crack easily.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Bang3r:
Wow...I feel like I got bent over for the price I paid compared to what they are selling them for on EBAY....Oh well...Shipping was included on mine so it's not too big of a difference.

On the crack...The hard back feels nice and sturdy and don't think it will crack easily. I think I just got a bum one.

There is also a little bit of a chip @ each of the cut-outs for speaker, cam and flash, that look like a byproduct of production, but they are hardly noticeable and would it have been only those, I wouldn't have complained probably...

Thanks for the info that they're on EBAY now!
[EVO 4G Accessories] noah2383:
Thanks for the link to their ebay listing. Saves me a few bucks over purchasing on their website.

Does the case protect the camera lens?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Bang3r:
The lens does sit recessed from the case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sanjsrik:
Daydeal made good on an order I had when i had my TP2. No questions asked, actually contacted me to tell me about defects. Very good company.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sanjsrik:
I see this question a lot from people and I'm guessing they don't realize the camera has a bezel around it that already protects it when you put it down on the desk, etc.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ritzbrie:
I realize the camera has a bezel around the lens. But if I set the phone down on a rough surface and uneven and surface, such as asphalt, that tiny bezel will not protect the lens. However if the camera lens does not protrude at all from the case, there is more of a chance the camera will be protected.
[EVO 4G Accessories] twerk:
I just got mine today. I ordered from ebay. I am quite pleased with it. I can't believe how much easier the buttons are to push with this case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Ryno23:
Great Case

I bought two of these cases straight from daydeal and one was cracked and the other was messed up on the side. I called them and they sent me two more no questions asked. I love these cases they are great. I have bought many cases for my phone and these are by far the best and and Daydeal is a great company.

Clear TPU + PC Cover Case for HTC EVO 4G
[EVO 4G Accessories] Bang3r:
^^..chuckle...got my replacement today. Came in totally current packaging. The first one was already a return probably.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Main Frame:
I'm guessing you don't realize that this so called "bezel" is nothing more than fail. I have never set my phone down on anything I would consider a rough surface (certainly not asphalt) and my camera lens has at least half a dozen noticeable scratches on it. There is not a single scratch on any other part of the phone, only the camera lens itself is scratched.

If this bezel does such a good job of protecting the camera lens then why does mine have scratches all over it?
[EVO 4G Accessories] sanjsrik:
I'm curious about this and I'm asking with no malice of forethought or intention, but why would anyone set a $500 piece of equipment down ON a camera lens, regardless of what the manufacturer tells you about a bezel or not (regardless what I have said) face DOWN on asphalt and then state that that the camera lens has scratches on it? I'm really curious.

Do you also key up your car door and stand back in amazement that keys have that effect on car doors and paint and metal?

Reminds me of an old joke:

Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I stick this pencil in my eye.

Doctor: Then don't stick the pencil in your eye.

WHY take a device with a camera lens and put it face down (up, that is, meaning with the camera lens on the asphalt) and then act amazed that the lens was scratched? Was it something unexpected?

I mean you haven't set your device down on asphalt but what do you imagine would be the outcome? The bezel is not meant to protect your device's lens from irresponsible behavior, just casual putting it on a desk.

I put my device on a desk all day long and my camera lens is perfectly fine. What kind of desk do you put yours down on that it has so many scratches after only 2 months?

I just checked my device, not a single scratch. I've had it since the first day it was released. Absolutely NO camera lens scratches. And, I keep my device in my pocket.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Main Frame:
Yeah, I'm not sure why anyone would do that (setting $600 phone on asphalt). That's a question you should be asking ritzbrie. :confused:

I have taken great measures to keep my phone looking brand new. I usually keep it in my pocket, but when it's charging I will lay it on my computer desk or coffee table. There have been times I have placed my phone on the couch or the bed, but I seriously doubt the couch cushion is what scratched my lens.

I started out always laying it camera side down because I wanted to make sure I didn't get any scratches on the screen, but I soon came to find that I now have multiple scratches on the camera lens. It's frustrating to say the least. To my knowledge I have never placed the phone on any surface that could potentially scratch the lens even if the bezel wasn't there.

Now I won't even set the phone directly on any hard flat surface. If it's going to be on my computer desk for charging I place it on the mouse pad. On any other desk I will make sure it is resting on an envelope or a note pad of some sort.

The accurate analogy for my situation would go more like this..

And my answer would be yes! (although I wouldn't put it past some douche bag to key up my car in the Wal-Mart parking lot just for the hell of it, but that is clearly not what has happened to my phone)
[EVO 4G Accessories] sanjsrik:
THIS is why I don't go to Walmart, the douchebags. Of course, in NYC, there are no Walmarts. Probably to keep the douchebags out of their parking lots if there were any.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ritzbrie:
Ever try lifting something heavy in a pair of gym shorts? I rather set the phone down on the concrete than risk having it fall from my pocket onto the asphalt.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Main Frame:
Just a little FYI, under VERY close inspection, this so called bezel that is supposed to protect the camera lens, doesn't even protrude from the back of the phone as far as the lens does.

What I'm saying is, the lens itself sticks out further than the surrounding bezel. So when the phone is resting on a flat surface it is actually the camera lens it is resting on, and I guess this protects the shinny bezel from getting scratched?

:mad:
