i tend to find the themes just change the top and bottom bars.is there a way to change the white background when you access the windows mobile part of the device?
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
I guess this is not possible then? Everyone must be content with the plain dull White windows mobile b/g?..MODS can you transfer this article over to the themes and apps please might get some hope over there
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
I doubt most of us delve into WinMo enough to care.

Not only that, would you be able to read the text with a darker colour or pattern?
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
Thanks, Possibly most users aint interested but it's really bugging me. If only i could change it because it looks so bland!
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
short version: try "ui tweaker" (lets you adjust windows theme related colors, look, and feel)

long version: there are some TSK files available that give the effect you desire. however most of these work well with WM6.1 and earlier. same goes for "ui tweaker", but these same approaches don't work well with WM6.5 and later. this is largely because WM6.5 has newer, different, bigger GUI control elements.

if you choose the ui tweaker approach, rp-x1 is correct because you would indeed have to play with a whole bunch of colors on a whole bunch of GUI elements before you'll be able to get the contrast right.
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
hey thanks man, it sounds difficult but il give it a go..have you tried it yourself?
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
i have used ui tweaker many times to change the selection highlight colors and what not when i was using WM6.1 ROMs on my kaiser. i even once tried exactly what you are looking for :D

i found the WM6.5 themes to be a much more improved bunch, so never felt the need to customize them further, though i wouldn't mind a white-on-black theme some time, like a "negative" of the GTX themes, that would be stellar! :cool:
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
i tried uitweaker but it doesnt give the option to change the white background!! i tried another app called settings+ that didnt also -but they are quite handy to tweak windows side of things
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
forgot to add..the white background remains but i managed to add some colour to tabs at the bottom and every box is highlighted i've also changed the font it makes a massive difference to me thanks
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
!! the white background is no more!!! haha i've managed to change it with uitweaker...thanks again

- the button never works

- with the basic headphones, sound is ok
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] The.Opethian:
It took me a lot of reading to know what the issue was. Apparently:

Apple and RIM (makers of BlackBerry) use the same headphone configuration, meaning their 3.5 headphones with remotes will work between themselves.

On the other hand...

Samsung and Nokia have their wirings a bit different. Opposite you could say. So headphones with mics that work on a BlackBerry/iPhone, will never work on a Samsung/Nokia, and vice versa.

You can try buying one of the authentic remote/adapter on eBay and give it a try, but take heed, the sound quality will suffer a bit, and expect a VERY LONG CORD.

I miss the remote system on the BlackBerry/iPhone very much. Double click on the remote to skip the track, triple click to rewind, click to pause, and click to answer the phone. Such convenience has spoiled me, but not so much to abandon Android. Why developers cannot incorporate this features into Android, I do not know.

I have since then found a way to re-live the convenience by simply using earphones without a remote. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MagicOnline:
I have the exact same issue with my Zagg Earbuds with mic. When i press the mic button and keep pressing it the sound is perfect otherwise I hear no bass and no voice of the song.

This is really a bad joke this wiring.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] The.Opethian:
Tell me about it. Nokia and Samsung, instead of embracing the competition, have decided that 3rd part manufacturers NEED to make special versions of their iPhone-ready wares. It's annoying as hell I tell you.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
What doesn't work? Can you see the tweaks? If not, you need to add the server. Can you download them? If not, you've got a network issue. If you download them, you can either flash them automatically (through reboot) if you have Amon RA, or manually by flashing the .zips through Clockwork (reboot). The .zips are downloaded to /sdcard/download by default.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Scrotius:
Is there a way to change the MAC address functionally, so that other devices think it has that address?

I have tried these methods (tiwlan0 corresponds to the wifi mac, no, it's not eth0)

In ADB: # ip link set tiwlan0 address 00:12:f0:dd:cc:dc

error: ip: SIOCSIFHWADDR: Operation not supported on transport endpoint

In terminal emulator on the phone: ip link set tiwlan0 address 00:12:f0:dd:cc:dc

error: ip: socket: operation not permitted

I have heard that some do change it but it reverts when communicating with a device.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vincentru:
The right answer

Permission is not given because you do not simply have granted SU (Super user rights) to your terminal application.

Just type: SU in your terminal window (if your android device is root of course).

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Singhman:
Just bought it last week. The phone did this on the 1st and second day i had it, but hasn't don't it for the last 3 days. Bestbuy said I can exchange it, but do you guys think its worth the hastle? (contacts, apps settings will be gone). Could it have just been an app acting funny, but now its ok (perhaps its got something to do with leaving on GPS or wi-fi?)...what do you guys recommend?

Also, some people have complained about gps issues, but i have not had any issues, locks in seconds. Is this a hit or miss thing? If i exchange it, could i be stuck with that problem? I live in vancouver...maybe it has something to do with location? Thanks

[General Topics] klaberte:
My brother-in-law thinks he wants an ipod touch. I would like to discourage his use of locked-down apple products.

Basically he wants a wi-fi only pda with excellent music player and web-browsing capabilities. Should be memory expandable via sd or similar. Not sure how much he needs the calendar/todo/contacts...

I would add the following hardware requirements: nice, reasonably priced (i.e. cheaper than ipod), with good xda-forum rom support. Used and refurbished is fine, although new would be great as well.

I was thinking about a new android tablet, but he says he wants something smaller, to fit in a pocket.

My experience with this site is with my smartphones, so I am not sure where to start looking for wi-fi only recommendations. Please be gentle with my ignorance.

Thanks!

well i use my player only for music.. it doesnt have wifi or any webbrowser..

but im using a cowon s9. freakin best **** i ever used to hear music, just amazing quality!! the ipod or the zune is nothing against this!!

but if he really needs a player with wifi.. he should probably go for a zune player, looks cooler and is just cooler than any other apple ****

probably u can browse through the homepage of cowon, maybe u find a good player with webbrowser.. all their players are just awsome..

www.cowon.com

the players of them doesnt need any other programm like itunes.. u just drag and drop ur files like to a extern hdd or memory stick
[General Topics] maxpower097:
Well naturally if your gonna pay those prices why not just get a nice WM or Android phone. Other then that check out Zunes, and Archos makes some ipody things.

But for what your looking for! I would get a Dell 51v PDA. You can get em for 40-50 on ebay now and they rock. Check up on the stats on this badboy. I used to carry one before smartphones were really good. Big touch screen, graphics accelerator, runs on WM so you have TCMP, Core, Mortplayer, etc... Wifi, BT, CF, SDIO, etc.. I'm about to make some scanners for garage saleing and this is turned out to be the best PDA for that purpose. I loved mine.

[General Topics] Dratini:
Dark Sorrow, I own a D2. I would not EVER recommend Cowon products until they have rockbox ported. Sound quality most people don't care about (I do obviously), the software is some of the worst I have ever used, and I have a Windows Mobile phone. I dumped it in lieu of my rockboxed iPod mini (went back actually). Any sound quality that Cowon could formerly charge huge amounts for is beaten soundly by a cheap refurbished Sansa Clip(+), something with decent stock software as well as full (but crash prone) rockbox support.

iPod touch 1G 8-16GB go for 50-70.

I don't see the problem with the touch.

A Zune HD 32GB can be had for around 130 refurbished.

I think he would be happier with an iPod touch. It has a better browser (despite crappier hardware), games, and applications, and is easy to use.

Definitely not an Archos 5, its too big, and at that price might as well buy two iPod touches.

So far I've bashed everything but haven't given suggestions.

Droid Eris sounds like something that would fit in your criteria.

[General Topics] Dratini:
Have you tried the Sansa Clips? They're much better (I prefer buttons to touchscreen, only good thing is you can skip to any place in the song, but thats not what I usually do anyways). I meant the actual Cowon firmware, everything is really non-intuitive. If they hired some good software professionals they would actually have a solid device. I didn't get the S9 since it wasn't microusb,
[General Topics] Spl4tt:
i tried the sansas, yes they are cool, but quality is crap compared to cowons devices. im talking about music quality, not design, or whatever

it doesnt matter for me if it looks cool or is easy to use, the music has to sound awsome :)

probably the firmware isnt that awsome for everyone, but the fact that its all flash opens many many new possibilities

but anyway, the sansa clip is too small, and i hate non-touchscreen players xD
[General Topics] slim6596:
I have had a Zune 80gb (not HD), iPod classic (now 64gb Touch), and briefly the Archos 5 Android Tablet with Android. Other than the Archos, I would say that they all have their good points. The Archos was a complete fail for me. I couldn't charge the unit while using it, it would not connect to my home wifi, and the screen felt too soft (resistive, not capacitive). I would say that if you want more storage than 32gb, currently I would go with iPod Touch (I see Zune has already released their 64gb version). Seeing this, I would recommend going with the one that has the screen size you like.

I do find it funny that (over at an iPod Touch forum I frequent) the very people that automatically denounce anything ro do with the Zune HD all but salivate when they see a Zune HD theme for their iPod Touch. But then, I am easily amused...and distracted. What was I saying?...
[General Topics] Spl4tt:
btw dratini, u know that u have a dragonir as avatar and not a dratini? xD
[General Topics] Dratini:
Yeah I thought Dratini wasn't too pretty, in synthetic sound tests the Clip and Cowon have no sound quality problems, so I don't know why you didn't like it.

With features like MP enhance and the soundstage settings for the Cowon though, it does sound better, but at stock they sound pretty much the same, except the Cowon is a bit colder and more analytical (I like this sound, but the UI is too bad for me to use), the Clip is more compressed but people rarely notice that unless they have expensive headphones.

Wish they would port Rockbox for the D2 already, its been unstable for years now.
[General Topics] Spl4tt:
thats what i mean. i hate stock settings, and the cowon is one of the only players that got so awsome settings, wich make the soundquality that much better..

i just set my s9 to stock settings, lol it sounds so cheap xDD *switches back*

and im using expensive earplugs, u know >.<

Is there a way to use the HTC calendar style date picker control in my own program?

Or, is it something that could be ripped out of an apk and used in my own program?

Just curious if anyone has done this before.... I like being able to 'flick' the wheels, the stock control is a little boring. :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb02:
its a part of either the framework apk or resources apk. but the files in the apk are linked to a .jar that controls the function of not only that selector, but just about everything else in the OS that is java related. so you could probably find and pull the png files, but unless you know java code and can write the function on your own itll be worthless.

Make sure before you do this, your phone is plugged into your computer with the Charge Only option and USB debugging ON.

Enter these commands using command prompt (assuming you have your sdk folder on the root of the C: drive)...

Once that is done boot up into recovery, then select flash zip from sdcard and flash the PB00IMG file.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidVicious:
Your wasting your time... If your just going to flash the original pb00img file, you can mount your phone so your sd card pops up on your computer screen, and drop the pb00img file on to your sd card. Then boot in to your hboot by powering your phone off abd then powering back on by holding down volume down and power at the same time and the phone will find the file and then just accept the update by pressing the track ball to confirm.... Thats it your good to go! Your phone will be original 2.1 root or leak whichever version of the pb00img file you use to downgrade..
[Touch HD General] Hoppah:
Hi everyone,

I bought my HTC Touch HD in April 2009 and I didn't customize the phone in any way. I only installed some backupping software and TomTom.

Anyway, the phone tends to freeze a lot. Sometimes it works fine for a week straight and then it just starts freezing. What happens is that the screen stops responding, as well as all buttons. The only way to fix that is by removing the back case and press the Reset button or by removing the battery. The freezes got worse over the last days. After a reset the phone sometimes already freezes before I can even enter my SIM card password.

It started freezing last year, but it seems to be getting worse now. I already tried a hard (full) reset, but that didn't solve the problem. Anyway, I found this after I removed the battery today: see attachment.

One of the 3 copper terminals is bent down, so it might not touch the battery. It looks like this might cause my problems. I tried bending it back carefully, but no success yet. Does anyone have an idea what I can do? Is it actually possible that a bend terminal can cause freezes?

[Touch HD General] 4x4nic:
i started having a similar problem yesterday, it gets worse if when I access the storage card and just locks up.

can anyone offer advise
[Touch HD General] mybetrayal:
The storage cards have been known to dramatically reduce the stability of these phones... I think I am at that stage (again) too...

My procedure, that's worked before, is:

- remove storage card from phone, put it in a adapter / USB/Flash port and connect to a Windows PC.

- Back-up required files to PC

- Open "My Computer" and right click on the removable drive (containing your SD), choose "Format"

- Make sure you select FAT file system over NTFS if offered the choice.

- Reinstate backed up files and try back in your phone.

Be careful when teasing that battery terminal, on different phones I've tried to re-allign the little brass terminals and snapped it from the tiny solder joint inside the case, despite it still being attached to the case... First I knew was the phone went from charging poorly, to not even powering up....

This is not a problem with the phone, it charges fine in Windows Mobile 6.5. When I have the phone plugged in when in Android, the battery actually drains faster when plugged in.

I noticed that some of my favorite Roms died with the notification "The roms wont be updated anymore, i am done with magic, the hardware wont last, so feel free to work the roms into what you desire, it belongs to us all.". I wont mention any name or jump to conclusion about anything. But it made me think what the real reason might be.

It's sad to see the direction this section has been going for a long time now. Some devs haven't really worked together, some even against each other. And lately devs started to throw mud at each other. It kinda makes me sad that things is like this specially in an Android section.

Anyway, time for me to move to another section myself due to upgrade of hardware. So beside throwing a bit mud at the developers myself i also want to thank you all. Thanks for giving my mobile so much more potential and choices.

But a bit to think about, this shouldn't be a popularity contest, if you guys worked more together you would bring so much more to Android than you do now. Android is supposed to be about open source, but some either misunderstood or lost that spirit.

But thanks again, and hope to see some of you devs in the sections of my future hardware.
