[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
That is good news:D

I assume just a small update zip:cool:

On a battery matter i just fully recharged the phone and was playing around with DSP manager i then left the phone unused for a couple of hours but with DSP switched on for Headset and Phone speaker strangely the battery drained about 20% in that time was that DSP manager? is it known to do that, bearing in mind no music was being played and the phone was unused seems odd!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] croques:
Yes there's something strange going on. I have similar effects and sometimes can visibly watch the percentage charge fall off.

I've been watching the logcat and inspecting via top. (./adb shell top | less seems to work if you don't mind scrolling! Without the pipe you only get to see the bottom of the list.)

I removed setCPU as the thing was producing errors in logCat taking up CPU cycles unnecessarily. The speed is now 4.3 as opposed to 4.7 - so hardly noticeable. I think it used more juice than it saved!

I also removed amazon-mp3 as that seemed to be calling home for no reason. Similarly I had a BBC News widget that was caching news for a faster start: now removed.

I note that the power widget switches ON Google's background syncing but doesn't switch it OFF again! Although it gives the impression of having switched syncing off. And that leaves Google vending to do whatever it wants, when it wants. Switch it off via Menu -> settings->Accounts & Sync -> un-check Background Data.

com.cooliris.media as mentioned yesterday is to do with the camera. I removed it. The camera wouldn't start. I put it back. The camera worked. But there is a fault with is calling. It is called on the main thread ( a developer's no-no as it can lock); it really needs to be called via a runnable interface. But I guess all that stuff is upstream from these Devs.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rujelus22:
I am making myself a theme and was wondering if anybody knew which files changed these two things.

-Box when moving widgets

-Title background for folders (apps organizer)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Sorry I can't be more help immediately but I can tell you the green widget moving box will be a .9.png and will probably be pretty small.

Obvious places to start would be in the 2 framework apk's but they may well be somewhere in system/app too. I'd look in anything widget related (downloader, updater, etc) and I'd look in rosie.apk too..

again, sorry thats just a couple shots in the dark but I'd like to know too. I'll poke around some tonight and see if I can find them
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rujelus22:
Yeah I figured it was going to be a .9 file, probably 1px but I just can not find them.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] phinnaeus:
Well it would probably be a minimum of 9x9, and it looks like it has rounded corners so maybe more than that. Also, both of these things might not be pngs. Could be simple xml drawings.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rujelus22:
I was thinking maybe xml also. are there any good tutorials on how to edit the xml's?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Use APK manager to decompile the apk, it'll output readable/editable xml files. I don't have the link on me but a quick search in the forums will bring it up.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
AwardTour, have you recompiled a framework apk with AppManager yet? I tried but kept getting an error when it got to the manifest.

OP, here is a link to Apk_Manager_4.8. I can't offer any advice on editing xml, yet.. I just decompiled and saw a readable xml for the first time a couple days ago :D it was cool

Hello community,

i need some help from the developers.

I used a Samsung 3D LED TV and I want to use AllShare.

The problem is only Samsung Devices have it.

Now I extract the dlna.apk off a Samsung Galaxy S ROM, but I can't install it on my Desire.

What I have to do?

Someone can help me please?

Sorry for my bad english
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex-V:
maybe it´s a try to flash a non htc sense .....???!!!??

or make a update.zip (there is a thread for update.zip)

or download a rom put it in system app (flash->deactivate signed) or use autosigner to sign it and then flash

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vorbeth:
You also need the correct framework files

How I do it?

I erase the text but I don't can install it

I modified the framework-res.apk to push the files in the res folder and create an update.zip, but nothing change. Flashing the update.zip are success. Don't have a link to AppShare in my menu
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex101uk:
if you are just looking to dlna from the desire to a samsung tv, TwonkyServer does that. Its on the market and does the trick. (I have a samsung LED TV)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChronoWerX:
I want use the message and call function from the tv
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackDragonBE:
I don't want to sound harsh, but it's not really a project when all you did was download a Galaxy S ROM and extract an apk out of it.

You'll need to port the TouchWiz UI (or at least the relevant parts) to the Desire.

At this point, not even the HTC Camera has been ported to custom stock ROMs so I doubt it will be easy, if not impossible at this point.
[General Topics] Baccarat:
I recently purchased Quadrant Advanced from the SlideME store since that's the only place it is available. Unfortunately, SlideME has implemented a policy where they will charge your credit card for a random amount less than $1 when you add a credit card to your account. In my case, this was $0.61. They try to justify this as a "security" measure to verify that the card is really yours; however, they let me continue and buy the application without first verifying the charge.

Even though the amount of money is small, I find this type of business practice despicable. I will not purchase any applications from SlideME and will e-mail any developer whose application I am considering purchasing that they have lost a sale until they move their app to a respectable store.
[General Topics] SlideME:
Wanted to follow up on this post to mention that we are indeed aware of the problem that is causing and maybe even loss of sales for apps sold via SlideME.

We did not assume that such a nominal fee (for end users) per card setup considered a registration fee, will become such a big issue.

The reason we took this approach from our early days in 2008, was that we wanted developers via our Marketplace to earn 'the lot'. This means if our payment processing costs are only 5% + $0.05 (as per Amazon Payments fees), the remaining balance will be paid out to developer.

As we have additional payment methods such as our 'direct card' payment option, we need to confirm the real owner of the card, much like PayPal and Amazon Payments require to verify the cardholder.

With the issues related to combating fraud e.g. users using stolen cards, there are processing fees for setting up a card and such fees are not directly related to the transaction of the sale of an application, therefore could not be applied to the developers account. This fee that our direct card processor charges has to be covered from somewhere, and this amount is funded from the < $1.00 fee that we charge per card setup. You only need to setup your card once, and customer is never asked to submit any sensitive card information from their phone ever.

Without such a verification process which consists of two states, 'pending verification' and 'confirmed' to place users account in 'good standing', there is a high risk there could be a large number of chargebacks and related fees, which will be charged to developers account. Not something we will be too happy about nor will developer.

A customer like you, has the option to choose other Payment Methods via SlideME that do not require any such verification, such as Amazon Payments & PayPal (due this coming week), since they provide their own verification process.

So your complain and from many other users, has been taken into consideration and it seems that we will have to charge some additional fees to developers to cover such processing costs via our Direct Pay option. I expect overall this will not mean less income for developers but could reflect to actually more sales via SlideME.

We took the initiative to create a discussion topic at http://bit.ly/aADcvo

Look forward to getting some feedback on what developers think about this issue.
[General Topics] Baccarat:
The idea that charging a fee that a user must verify to prevent fraud might have some validity if the user must verify before being allowed to purchase any apps. However, I was able to purchase an app immediately after registering as a new user and adding my credit card. If I were a credit card/ID thief instead of a legitimate buyer, the victim would now have two fraudulent charges: the app purchase AND the verification charge.

In reality, this is just a way of passing on a processing fee to the end user and trying to disguise it as a fraud prevention method. It may not be fair that the merchant takes all of the risk of ID theft and fraud but that is the way the system works.

If you want to charge a registration fee, you should be up front about it when the user signs up with a full checkout page so that there is no ambiguity that money is about to change hands. When I purchased the app, I went through a full checkout page that clearly showed what I was buying and how much I was paying. This was not the case with the "verification" fee.

If you're not going to prevent users from buying apps until they verify, quite calling it a fraud/verification fee. If you're going to charge a registration fee, be upfront with it and have a full checkout page so that the user will clearly understand what they are buying. Better yet, just take credit cards like 99.999% of online stores and charge the developers an amout that covers your costs.
[General Topics] SlideME:
It's clearly stated that the <$1.00 is considered a card registration fee and we have it in several places on our site. It seems you are the only one that missed it if your name starts with a K. We have had users complain about it, but not one be surprised of such a charge that they did not know it was coming.

Yes we do open up and permit account holders to purchase without verification when we have eyes on the system to prevent complaints from customers that want to buy now!

We send many warnings to customers that have a high fraud score and such require to verify their card to proceed.

We will do what it takes to satisfy developers and users alike.

I guess now we will have to restrict only to all verified users, which will just make it more difficult for that ones that don't seem suspicious to purchase.
[General Topics] SigmunDroid:
You can't make everyone happy.

There will always be people that complain.

If you make them wait, they will complain they can't get their product

fast enough.

If you don't make them wait, they will complain that you didn't verify

their identity...

My experience and 2 cents:

Do what makes your largest user base happy and focus on them.

You won't make everyone happy but at least you'll have market share

and happy customers to reaffirm you've made the right decision.

Some people want their cake and wish to eat it too.
[General Questions and Answers] nadiaa91:
hy all!!

I was wondering if anyone here knew of a program that allows you to turn your Pocket PC into a drawing tablet which interfaces with Photoshop or other drawing programs on your desktop PC. Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] cbeck:
What do you mean by "interfaces"? There are several programs which allow freestyle drawing and can be saved as a jpg/bitmap etc. All of these can be imported to photoshop. I personally use MiTo Team Paint. You might also check out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=678556 . That may be more what you were looking for. There was or is a beta of photoshop mobile available from adobe also. Search google for it.
[General Questions and Answers] pmprog:
I don't know any, but it's certainly possible to write. You wouldn't get the "pressure" part of the tablet (unless you're phone registers pressure too?).

Because of the comparative sizes of screens though, you might find it hard to select what you want on your PC.

I was going to write an app for my PDA a few years ago to do exactly this (basically set the mouse X,Y to the stylus position, and "click" buttons), however, I ended up just buying a Medion (Aldi's electronics brand) tablet. It cost about £25, A4 size and works perfectly for my purposes.
[General Questions and Answers] cbeck:
Ahh, that may be what the op is talking about. There is a program that lets you use your ppc as a touchpad for pc. I guess that might be how you can "write" directly onto the pc using your ppc... or was there some other program you had in mind to do that?

I'm curios now, as I hadn't considered this possibility before.
[General Questions and Answers] cbeck:
PPC Tablet 4.0

Found something that claims to do what I understand the OP was wanting. There is a free trial available, so that will give the opportunity to text compatability with WM 6.X. Note that there is a specific installation guide for WM 6. Also, it is VGA, so vga fix may be required if WVGA resolution is on the phone... or perhaps it will just run at part-screen resolution.

[General Questions and Answers] kain144000:
I'm interested in a wacom–like tablet solution for my Windows Mobile 6.5 tele, as well. It'd be great to be able to use my resistive touch screen as a pressure-sensitive tablet in Photoshop. Anyone know of any solutions? 'Cause the hope of such an app is the only reason that I've kept my Rhodium.

UPDATE: I've started a thread for an app request here, so let's generate a buzz to stimulate the dev community.
[General Questions and Answers] cbeck:
Just thought I would point out the the AandA company I linked in the post above offers to make custom software, so it could be worth contacting them to check on the price for adding pressure sensitivity to the app that I linked. Could potentially take collections from other interested members to get it paid for and provided in their next version...
[General Questions and Answers] kain144000:
Thanks, I'll look into it. Glad I'd actually come back to this thread, 'cause my posts've been gettin' so little love lately, that I was just all 'round apathetic. But, friend, you've inspired me‼ :p
[General Questions and Answers] cbeck:
Glad I could be of some little value around here.:D

Pencil Box Deluxe is a step towards getting pressure sensitivity also... you can't actually get different pressure responses, but you can select different pressure settings... too bad it doesn't interface with the PC. Best of luck.

The Flashfiles are in normal HD2 section. They are compatible with 1024MB Leo?

[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
I for one have never heard of Jtag. You don't have to unbrick the phone because if you phone was bricked it wouldn't be working ever again. You have to flash hardspl on the phone to allow you to change its rom. And because you already said that you have a T-Mobile USA phone it should already have the proper radio. Take a look below for instructions on how to flash your phone.

How to install ROM

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
actually jtag is the one possibility for fixing the 51 radio meets tmous brick, but they're fairly expensive, and not many people have access to them. It allows you to write directly to the rom chips so no bootloader necessary.

@Chris021286, you have a brick? and you are going to jtag it? What type of jtag do you have?

We'd all be very interested in your results, please, if you would keep us posted on how you get on.
[HD2 General] Chris021286:
Yes, the phone is bricked. It was flashed with a Europe LEO flash (512MB). Phone won't start in bootloadermode anymore.

I'll try to reflash the BL via JTAG tomorrow. I'm sure it won't be a problem.

GSM repairing and flashing is my hobby since 8 Years so I have some experience ;)

If you want to know more about JTAG and how to you can send me your ICQ Nr. as PN.

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
hehe, interesting. I've never had chance to play with one, but read a bit of theory.

Let us know how you get on, a lot of people have bricked them with the wrong radio, it would be good to know it can be done.

Most people just take them back to tmo and play dumb.
[HD2 General] Chris021286:
Finally I take the time to unbrick the HD2. I sucessfully flashed the bootloader.

Now the phone starts in Bootloader Mode again :)

But I don't know how to fix the rest.

If I start the phone normal it hangs at HTC Logo (There stands only HTC and nothing more) and the phone isn't recordnized via USB.

If I start it in BL Mode phone is recordnized from Win.

But active sync won't find it...so I can't do step 2 :(

So I continued with step 3^^

Flashing worked ok. I flashed the files from: Energy.Leo.23127.Sense2.5.GER.Aug.28

And have done also an hardreset. But still the same. HTC Logo and Bootloader mode.

I guess I need to install any HSPL or Radio rom, right? But how???

So please tell me how to finish my work :)

THX!

Regards

Chris

PS: When I fixed the phone I'll introduce you how to unbrik any HTC device via JTAG. And will show you the 3 jtag boxes which are on marked.

It is nothing special, everyone can find it via google, but it seems that it isn't know in this great forum yet ;)

EDIT

Phone starts now :)

HSPL flashing was starting after I reconnected the phone when the flasher was searching for phone (search takes about 15sek^^).

After that I repeated flashing ROM and it was still the same. But after flashing 2.07.50 Radio, as NRGZ28 wrote, phone boots as it shoud!

Maybe titanium backup?

Yep, titanium backup is the way to go. It backs up your apps and app data on the sd card. After you flash, simply download titanium backup again, and select restore user apps and app data. Simple as that.

if call records are "full", new calls should automatically push away the oldest call records...if that is not happening, something is weirdly wrong.

try using pimbackup to backup all your call records, and then restore the call history with pimbackup with the "Delete all existing call records" CHECKED. see if that fixes things up.
