Good morning then :)

How am I supposed to apply this patch? Custom recovery says:

E:No signature (7 files)

E:Verification failed

and then the installation aborts.

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Hacre:
I believe you need something called Metamorph to apply this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] cokbok:
Looks like that! I did not know. Thank you!

And MacaronyMax, thank you for the theme! It looks and works like a charm!

I Just Want To Know How Is The Progress In Adding Arabic Support To The X10 ?

Is The Letters Still Separate In The Internet Browsing?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dontshakepandas:
Ok, so this hasn't really been a problem for me before since I couldn't use the samsung music player at all since it wouldn't sort by artist. However, now that I'm using JM6, it is letting me sort by artist. I really like the widget on the lock screen and on the pull down notification bar, so I'd like to use music player of Mixzing.

The problem is, on both of the widgets the background is an ugly purple color. Why would they do this? Ew. Is there any way to change the background color of these widgets? If I could do that, I would be as close to 100% happy with this phone that I've ever been.

Edit: Nevermind. I got it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] keredini:
Care to share what you did? I didn't see anything in the settings. My ultimate goal would be to have the widget with a transparent background.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dontshakepandas:
You could do that. The files you need to change are located in the twframework and framework apk's. They are in system/framework, but I just used the twframework file from here. I don't remember the names of the files I changed (sorry). I just searched for music or background or bg in the drawable-hdpi folder of the apk's and when I found the ones I wanted to change, (really the only purple ones) I changed the color to something else. To make it transparent just replace the file (keep the same name) with a transparent .png file.

The twframework file can just be edited and then copied back over the original, but the framework apk caused a lot of force closes on me when I tried that. So I just edited the files inside the circle clock.zip file and then ran the .zip file and it applied the changes for me without any problems.

I also changed the ugly pink icon to something that looks like a real cd in the background with an orange music note on top. Looks a billion times better.

I apologize that I can't be more technical with you, if you have any questions about anything shoot me a pm or post it up here.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] keredini:
Strange, I couldn't get this to work...here are the steps i took:

Used adb push to get the twframework-res.apk file to my PC.

Used APK Manager to unzip the APK.

Modified the purple background file (quick_panel_music_bg.9.png) to be transparent.

Used APK Manager to zip the APK using the new PNG file. (I only Zipped the APK, I did not sign it since it was a system APK and did not Zipalign it)

Dropped the APK on the root of my sdcard.

Used Busybox to copy it over the existing APK.

Rebooted.

Any ideas why this wouldn't work? I tried twice, both times the background is still purple.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] keredini:
Hmmm, I went back and looked at the framework-res.apk and noticed i missed a file in there with purple background, so i edited that PNG file, then used APK Manager to zip and then ADB to copy over the original.

Now my phone will boot only to the Galaxy S boot screen, then just goes black. Looks like I will need to adb the backup files back onto the phone. Can you explain how you did this using an update.zip file. That seems like maybe an easier route.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dontshakepandas:
when changing the twframework file I used 7zip to open the archive without ever unzipping the file. I dragged the already edited png files into the correct directory to replace the purple ones.

For the update.zip I downloaded the .zip file for thecircle battery mod. I then put the updated png files that I wanted to replace using 7 zip again. I ran the update.zip file and everything worked.

If you are able to use metamorph (using older su version) you can download the simplistic theme, replace the res files with the ones from the stock apks then apply them in metamorph.

I have a Incredible and I love it, its s-off, 2.15 radio, skyraider 2.5.2 and kingkernel #2. It runs great, and i have no want to get rid of it immediately, but i am due for an upgrade in sept and i was thinking about the droid 2 but i also was thinking about holding out for the next group of phones to come out. Anybody have any advice on the subject? BTW i dont want to leave verizon it has the best coverage at home and everyone i knows uses it.

ok cool i had 1 more question tho i have the vibrant 2.1 flashed which means i should get the update. and after update i am going to loose the root but i can root it again right?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
"vibrant 2.1"

you mean you are stock? Or did you flash a custom rom?

You should be able to root it once you have stock froyo (once a developer figures out how to exploit it)... but I would not do the OTA update. Just keep your eye on XDA and you will have froyo + root, and it will be stock.

In the near future there will be custom ROMs that take froyo to the next level.
[Vibrant General] MTC44:
Wait wait wait...a T-Mobile representative said the first week in September? That goes against the opinion of several members of this forum. Are you sure that was said?
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
I too would like confirmation of this. If so that would be amazing.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I heard in September... did not hear it would be that early. I just read his comment and marked it as a Rep trying to sell a phone.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
Yea T-Mobile rep said early september
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
Well I flashed the odin is that stock? And you said not to do the Ota update why is that?
[Vibrant General] STi489:
Couldn't you just get the OTA update and reroot?
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Not with the same root file. But yes they will have a rooter for it so yea, get the update and wait for root. Or wait for a rooted version of the rom and flash it.

I personally will update ota then root when its available ....
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
I think I will wait for rooted version because the ota update will not include the lag fix
[Vibrant General] rogerchew:
so does that mean even with 2.2 our phones will still lag?????? this is lame...too many issues with that lag fix people are reporting. and then im wondering if people who report "perfect, love it" ever come back to report issues when something goes wrong, or do they just quietly flash back without letting anyone know.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
as far as i know i think even after the 2.2 update there will still be lag. but i am not aware of any known issues with the lag fix. i have been using it and it works fine
[Vibrant General] backslide311:
I did the one click lag fix the day it was released here on XDA. I'm still in love with it, no issues at all.
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
We have no idea what the 2.2 update will change, so there's no way to tell whether or not the perceived lag issues will still exist. Let's not spread speculation...it tends to end up being interpreted as fact by some people.

I tried RyanZA's 2-3 lag fix and had major problems with Google Maps after a while. I'm going to wait and see how the stock 2.2 performs before I do any more tweaking. Even then I'll probably wait for a stable custom ROM with a lag fix cooked-in...there are too many variables involved with re-partitioning the phone for me to trust a scripted installer 100% of the time.
[Vibrant General] hurrpancakes:
I just called T-Mobile, and the rep I was given said she had no idea, but logging into your MyT-Mobile account might show some more information.
[Vibrant General] wbexpress:
Just curious?

Can you clarify why when FroYo comes out it will require a different root procedure? I did not realize rooting was in any way related to the particular Android version. Going back to G1/MT3G days, once it was rooted, it was rooted, and then I flashed ROMS from Cupcake to FroYo as they came and never had to do any re-roots, that I can recall? I'm actually thinking the opposite of your thoughts. I've never had any lag with Eugene's V6, so I'm inclined not to update what works well (assuming what you said is correct) until "root for FroYo" is available. Being rooted allows you to do too many things, so I ain't gonna fix something that ain't broken now.
[Vibrant General] nupicasso:
I work for T-Mobile, and can assure you, we have no information as to when the Vibrant is getting Froyo. Samsung has said that we'd be getting an update in early September for the GPS problem. That's all the info we have.
[Vibrant General] maxomus:
There isnt any method of rooting 2.2 as of yet, and you cant downgrade back to 2.1 so essentially your stuck,well, most the time...

So if you go and update to an official 2.2 update you will be sol, take a peak at the evo forums, a ton of people that couldnt wait,what 6 hours for a rooted version to be released are now stuck on stock froyo with no way of getting root back at the moment... As soon as an official 2.2 update is out I'm sure someone will have a rooted version out with in hours, so your better off waiting unless you want to be stuck on stock for an undetermined amount of time... Seriously go take a peak at all the people crying about it in the evo threads...

Sent from my phone.
[Vibrant General] tehnick:
You were given an incorrect timeline, unfortunately. To address the other question, the phone can be unrooted if needed. Clockwork recovery doesn't modify stock recovery so I doubt it can block OTA installs over modified ROMs like with some of the nexus and moto droid ROMs.

Hello Everybody,

I'm developing an android application which uses the front camera.

As the Android SDK doesn't supoprt it natively, I need to fint the register name which tells the system to use the front camera. Unfortunately, I do not know how this parameter is called. Does anyone can help me?

btw, As I do not have an HTC Evo If anybody can help me by testing my app on its HTC evo, it will helps me a lot.

Many thanks in advance,

Best regards.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pao23:
All I could think of was some of the CraigsList replies I get that want my item shipped to Africa.

GL with your app, hope it's a fun one, not enough stuff uses the front camera yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikenkilr:
Hi,

many thanks for your answer and your help.

My app is quite simple, it acts as a mirror by displaying the front camera in full screen (it crops left and right parts of the picture in order to maximise the picture surface.

My app is avaiblable in the android market under the name : MagicMirror-Lite

I get some feedbacks that my app does work on Evo devices.

Before adding other features (such as zoom and so on), I would like to get first quite a reliable app which works on most of terminals (which have a front camera of course).

I think the same, but as there is no explicit command in the android SDK which allows to use the front camera, I first need to get a reliable way to use front cams.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikenkilr:
Hi everybody,

Many thanks for your inputs.

If I made everything right, my application should now work on Sprint devices.

I uploaded a new version of the application. So, if you can test it on yours, it will be very helpful for me. ;)

Cheers!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apristel:
It uses the main camera on the EVO not the front one like you want.

Sorry.

Image is also turned 90 degrees...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikenkilr:
For the rotation this is normal as the rear camera is rotated to 90° compared to the front camera (in order to use the rear camera in landscape mode and the front camera in portrait mode).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apristel:
Ok well it still uses the wrong camera.

Looks promsing though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikenkilr:
Many thanks,

and before adding more sexy-features (like pinch zoom, or picture grabbing...) I want first to make sure my app is compatible with most mobile devices.

(If you have features ideas, do not hesitate :) )
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apristel:
Cool.

I'll test it again once you see about using the front camera.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikenkilr:
I think I found what was wrong,

in the manifest file, I added:

<uses-library android:name="com.sprint.hardware.twinCamDevice" android:required="false"/>

I hope that this will make the things goes right for Sprint users without generating bugs for non-Sprint users.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianDigital:
how about make a video chat app that works all the time
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apristel:
It works with the front camera now but you still need to rotate the image 90degress. I don't see why anyone would want a mirror that the reflection is sideways!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikenkilr:
You're completely right, if picture is rotated, it is completely useless. ^^

What is that for the samsung Epic, picture owns the right orientation.

Futhermore, picture should be distorded on your Evo device?

Last question, I must rotate picture in clockwise or in counter-clockwise?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max_Pain:
It works on my evo

You need to rotate image 90 degrees clockwise...no matter how I turned the phone the imageit displayed was turned facing 9 o'clock...

Keep working at it!

Swyped from an HTC Evo on MetroPCS...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rufus99:
Yep, me too. The top of my head points to the left no matter how I hold the camera. It 'IS' working with the front camera though.

I'm just beginning to test the front facing camera on my Evo too with some code. I 'think' I read that the Sprint library has to be included in the manifest (to enable the front camera); however, they say the app will not load on phones that don't have this library. that seems pretty severe. Anyone tested that out ?

It would be nice to make apps that use the front camera if possible but still use the regular cam if the front one's not available.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikenkilr:
Hi rufus,

Yes the library must be loaded, but, as I mentioned above, you must add the :"android:required="false". So if the library exists, it will be loaded and if not, it doesn't mattre. But you need to add in your source a test to check if the library exists or not. It is explained in the sprint sdk.

Ok I'll add a test on my program add add a rotation if detected phoe is an HTC evo.

Is the ratio of the picture ok or not?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vballboarder:
The ratio of the picture is good, but I assume once it's rotated 90 degrees, it wont' be. It's still rotated 90 counterclockwise...the top of my head is at the left.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] adham3322:
Asphalt5 is a pure arcade racer. It combines the smash 'em elements of Burnout and the hardcore racing thrills of Ridge Racer into a sometimes silly but always manic speeder. If you go into this expecting a precision driving sim along the lines of Real Racing, you will be severely disappointed. But if you download Asphalt 5 with the expectation of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride with Ferraris, you will be suitably satisfied.

You are hard-hearted if you are not immediately impressed with Asphalt 5's zillion-dollar looks. As always, Gameloft delivers standout production values. The game stretches across several continents, delivering racing scenes in some of the world's most recognizable metros, like Rio de Janiero and Las Vegas, as well as lovely outdoor scenes such as Aspen. Every location is bright and loaded with detail. The car models are excellent, too. From the starting Mini Cooper S to the Ferrari 599 XX, Gameloft has done a stellar job recreating these vehicles. It's amazing that an iPhone game can easily outpace many PlayStation 2 racers in this department.

But Asphalt 5 is more than the prettiest girl at the dance – although the game has plenty of those, too. (Gameloft loves the ladies. You unlock female companions as you race through career mode.) The tilt steering is very well done. I have few complaints about the level of responsiveness, although you can be too severe with your tilting, though. It is easy to over-correct a turn or veer too wildly to avoid oncoming traffic, but a little practice cures this. There are multiple control options, but I recommend the default tilt steering above all of them as you only need to worry about tapping a brake and nitro button. As mentioned, Asphalt 5 is an arcade racer, so do not expect real-world physics. Occasionally, Asphalt 5 feels like a pinball game – but it never sells itself as a serious racer, so this is hardly a fault. In fact, since I usually prefer games like Burnout and Daytona USA over Gran Turismo, I found this endearing in Asphalt 5.

Asphalt 5's career mode offers a host of different events, from straight races and time trials to drift contests. You collect dollars in many events, too, to boost your bottom line and buy new rides. The only event I had trouble with was cop chase where you need to eliminate a set number of rivals, Burnout-style. Now, I'm not expecting a game to roll over and take it, but the computer-controlled cars are way too psychic when it comes to avoiding your incoming swipes. Perhaps if Gameloft dialed back the number of eliminations required or at least made the rival racers a little less clairvoyant, these events wouldn't be so dreaded by the second hour of play. Now, you can choose the events you want to play to get through a lot of career mode, but eventually you are forced into one of these events and it just brings the fun to a screeching halt.
