[Android Themes] opasha:
ah true i forgot about that new png that is in froyo roms. (the second one which is the png behind the first one). that's actually much easier.
[Android Themes] Hieber:
Anything like this for 2.1?
[Android Themes] MYxdaUSERNAME:
its exactly the same. they didnt rewrite and rename file names from 2.1 to 2.2..just find the png's you want from one theme and apply them to the framework however you know how to.

hell, i've taken images from Sense roms for HTC phones for my droid..
[Android Themes] opasha:
i don't know if you've ever done any themes or where you're getting your info from, but that second image that he is referring to does not exist in 2.1, which is why so many of us had problems trying to make the notification panels transparent for the experion theme when the idea was first intro'ed. now, if you're telling him, that he can magically just drop that png in there when it serves no function, then i'd like to see it happen, lol. logically speaking, that is like saying, let's name this file poop.png and make it transparent and expect it to become transparent for that panel. just saying...
[Android Themes] itpromike:
So are you saying transparent notification background can only be done on Froyo? Did you ever get it to work on the Experion theme?
[Android Themes] itpromike:
Anymore ideas guys? I know this can be done on some level because I've seen this in many pictures in the home screen screenshot forum.
[Android Themes] volcomdesigns:
Which experion theme are you speaking of?
[Android Themes] opasha:
the first one that you were involved in (donut version) and the second one (eclair version). g1_lucky had asked both myself and david1171 about the notification panels countless times and how to make them transparent, and there was no way of doing so because that second image did not exist with that name. if it did exist, it was not in the framework folder, and at the time probably had to do with some xml for it to work. if you guys solved it, then go ahead and explain to this kid how you did so because to my knowledge there was never any such png in either donut or eclair frameworks.
[Android Themes] E_man5112:
I don't know how it's done, but I have a metamorph theme on my phone that gives me a transparent notifications pulldown. I'm on 2.1
[Android Themes] opasha:
interesting. can you please upload/post that metamorph here so i can crack it open and see what file is responsible for allowing it to be transparent. thanks :).
[Android Themes] volcomdesigns:
Oh, I wondered about that, but wasn't sure if you were speaking of the theme I was involved in. Any progress with that by the way? Lucky kinda just disappeared on me some time ago, and the project died to my knowledge. I remember this issue coming up in the past, and I agree, I don't recall ever seeing any such image in the initial framework. To my recollection, it was a issue that never had been solved.

I agree! I would like to see this as well, as I am really quite interested.
[Android Themes] keredini:
Samset Rom for the i9000 had it as well. I flashed my Captivate to the i9000 Rom and then flashed the Samset update.zip. Check it out in the appropriate forum.
[Android Themes] opasha:
you would need to be more specific because his current samset rom 1.9 does not show any transparency in regards to what we are discussing. it would be helpful if you posted the actual thread's link here. thanks.
[Android Themes] keredini:
I thought you were referring the pull-down notification panel and the ability to make it's background transparent. If so, Samset does that. Here is the Samset thread, look at th second picture in the first post for an example:

[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
I have a feeling we are talking about the actual status bar.

Or we're talking about having the status bar items translucent:
[Android Themes] keredini:
Ahh, I see what you are referring to now. Sorry for the confusion.
[Android Themes] Adamsville MITM:
i thought we were talking about the bottom bar and the actual background
[Android Themes] itpromike:
I'm talking about the pull down notification bar panel... not the statusbar itself... That's what I've been talking about this whole time and I apologize if it wasn't clear... I'm new to this stuff sort of so the terminologies get me sometimes... So let's try this again. How do I make the pull down notification panel on my phone translucent?
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
You mean the image that fills up the empty space in the status bar?

Just make the framework-res/res/drawable-*/status_bar_background.png image opaque.
[Android Themes] itpromike:
Yes like the picture you pasted above with the black and white notification shade.... it's clear/translucent. That's what I want... so what app should I download to do that or can I not do it on the phone itself, do I need a PC to do that?
[Android Themes] darkamikaze:
if i edit any of those .png files.. and insert new ones via ADB..

will i have to do some chow commands or something o-O for rights? o-o

or do i have to edit any of the xml files o-o..
[Android Themes] xthephreakx:
dude can you tell me where you got this from i like the theme being used there :)
[Android Themes] opasha:
he got it from here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=764496&page=10
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
The link opasha gave was a much better version of the theme. The one I showed you was me trying to make the Elegant Steel theme a reality.
[Android Themes] darkamikaze:
For the captivate the only one present in the framework-res.apk is status_bar_background.9.png and statusbar_background.9.png ..

I've tried to change those images to opaque X-x but no dice.. is it called different on the captivate?
[Android Themes] GunToYoMouth123:
i'm wondering...how can you make the STATUS bar transparent ?

i have an eclair rom 2.1 runnin' on a G1.

thanks.
[Android Themes] darkamikaze:
mmm.. you can do it a good number of ways..

one way is to copy the .png file inside your phone.. and change it to a more opaque/transparent .png file

another way is to get a theme that has that already. :T
[Android Themes] GunToYoMouth123:
ah, i see. thanks !

but whats a more easier way?

can you help me out with some steps?
[Android Themes] darkamikaze:
lol well i'm a noob myself.. x\ so i'm not much help..

I guess the easiest way is to do the 'theme porter' thing which you'll find here in the themes forum (front page actually) ..

find a theme you like with a transparent notification bar...and do the procedure in the theme porter thread.. then adb push the new framework folder to your phone -- mm :/ nvm I'd continue.. but it's so confussling and complicated for a noob like me to explain X_x.. I hope someone picks up after me.
[Android Themes] chancellorr:
Both of my theme's have translucent shades. It's simple, at least from my experience. Take the status_bar_background.png and change the opacity. Save.
[Android Themes] itpromike:
So just extract the status_bar_background.png and change the opacity? Is there an application on the phone that can do this or do I need to use a computer?

Where is that file located?
[Android Themes] chancellorr:
I used Photoshop. The images is in the framework-res/drawable-mdpi folder.
[Android Themes] overthinkingme:
Okay I want to make the status bar transparent and the pull down tray as well.

I want something like the transparency the top bar in osx 10.6. I hate hiding my background and since I'm going for a minimal look, it's awfully distracting.

I tried to make the edits myself in photoshop and went ahead and resigned the .9.png files too. But when I pushed the framework-res.apk file back...only the notification bar had changed. and the pull down bar stayed solid.

Can anyone list for me which files specifically I need to change so I can make the notification bar and pull down tray transparent?

I would go ahead and make the changes myself.

I'm currently on FreshEvo, anyone think it would look better on cm6? or easier?

Also, the first time I edited my framework-res, I had to re-add all my accounts on the phone? what happened?? lol

Hey all, i noticed people were asking for a "exercise/fitness" app like ifitness.

this is html one i was developing so made it into a quick widget for you all to see.

its main design is to be a guide.

this is a beta look and feel, i'll start filling out the exercises soon.

iv given it a nice nike+ look as i love the orange !

is been developed for Wvga 480x800 first.

ideas/development..

it will be split into male and female

it will have things like..

Intake, Nutrition and Diet, Weight lifting, Strength Training,

Cardiovascular Exercises, Weight Loss, Aerobic, Motivation,

Preventing Injuries, Avoid cheating, Calculators.

iv put in as much as i can about water intake and Vitamins & Minerals.

im playing around with a BMI Calculator to fit in there too.

im trying a kcal Calculator soon.

im hoping someone brilliant could make a nice flashlite jog meter :)

also when i can get embed wmp to work or a nice flashlite player maybe we can have music too :)

im open to ideas and info or people who want to work on it too.. hope you all like !

There should be a way to use the accelerometer as a pedometer. And, a body fat % calculator would be nice.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] josh_prayyforplagues:
maybe a cab, instead of a zip? :X :o

and a food log..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zeusalmighty:
Hey, first of all, THANK YOU! For reals, thanks for taking the time to develop such an app. Now moving on to suggestions ;)

I mostly do weight lifting and some jogging so my suggestions would be these:

- Include a catalogue of available weight lifting exercises (www.bodybuilding.com is an excellent resource)

- Add the ability to create a weight lifting schedule that works as following:

Design a schedule beforehand and fill in sets/reps/weight

This mode would have weight lifting days pre-set by the user (for example I have a chest-lifting day, in which I do bench press, incline bench press and a couple more. I'd like the ability for that to have been designed beforehand by me, and I'd insert the weight/set/reps on the spot during my workout)

Design a schedule on the fly

Start with an empty training day and add exercises/sets/reps/weight on the fly.

It goes without saying that each set should have its own reps and weight ;)

Awesome work so far mate, keep it up!

PS. Haven't tested the app yet, will do so as soon as I can.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] J-r0en:
Thanks for developing this, love it already =d
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Johev:
Well I have been looking for something like this for a long time.

It would be nice to have the calories intake measured.

One way to do this would be for people for people to use the label of the article to help them input the right data:

If they weigh the food (cereals / chocolates / anything that has a label), and put the weight in grams (example, as I live in Europe), and the calories for 100g, the program could calculate how much calories they consumed.

It would then add them all up, and tell you how much calories you’ve consumed.

It could have some database of some food like fruits that do not come with a label of how much calories per gram they have.

If it could calculate too, how much calories you’ve burned during the training session, it could even tell you if you’ve consumed more calories then you’ve put in the body (witch is what you need to do in order to loose weight).

Regarding the training:

It would be nice to have some specific areas trained, so if you want to train your biceps, you could find 2-3 exercises to do it.

In training some muscles should be trained together (during the same training session), so it would be nice to have it do a training session A for day 1 and B for day 2.

Third request would be if it could have a timer, so that people know how much they are resting (between the series). If they need to rest 30 seconds it should not be 2 minutes.

I know this information is not new to many, but this would be the things I would look for in a program like this.

Good luck and let me know what you think about my suggestions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amcolash:
i love the idea, if you want me to help out with anything to do with graphics, please ask. i am a photoshop nut, and i could help make the screens look even prettier ;) also if you need, i could help resize things for other resolutions ex: qvga or vga. again great idea =]

edit: as for the player for music i dug this up on another site...

"From Wikipedia "The Advanced Stream Redirector (ASX) format is a type of XML metafile designed to store a list of Windows Media files to play during a multimedia presentation."

Flash doesn't play any windows media native files. It only plays Flash video files (flv) and Mpeg4 (h.264 encoded) either as a .mp4 or .mov file. So to get that to play in Flash you'll need to figure out how to convert it to a file type that flash understands or look into something microsoft native like silverlight." - http://www.ozzu.com/flash-forum/playing-asx-files-flash-player-t103840.html

as for a m3u playlist it appears possible....

Some links

If you need some workout / nutrition info here are some good sites. The first link has a list of all the different muscles and exercises that you can do to work them out along with an animated gif of the exercise in question. The second link is just a food database. Maybe these can help give you some ideas to incorporate into your program.

Nice work - I look forward to seeing some content;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MadSci:
Thank You!

Some nice work here. A couple of suggestions that might ancrease it's appeal, and a question.

I installed the program and ran it. It then put a bunch of files into the Main Memory of my HD2 without asking permission. Naughty! Naughty! For various reasons I need every Mb of storage I can keep, so this was a problem. It resulted in memory management issues that drained my battery like crazy, so sadly, I had to un-install it :(

The program was not fully uninstalled via the phone, and there is no uninstaller in the package, so I 'm going to manually delete all the related files I can find. I suggest that you either provide an uninstaller program or a complete set of un-installation instructions.

And please! set the program to be installe din the Storage Card! I would really like to give it a serious workout!

Thanks again - and keep Developing!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mektah:
One neat idea would be food log integration.

As in built in foods with calories that you can search through, including fast foods and such.

Also camera/barcode integration, so you could just scan the barcode and it looks up the food and it's calories/nutrition info.

I know those are a big big reach, and probably not likely but they would help make your app complete.

Also if possible the calorie burned exercise should be weight specific, i.e a heavier person doing 2 miles would burn more than a light person doing 2 miles at the same pace.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] elvisn:
Hi guys,

I would like to try this app but my Windows Mobile version is 6.1 due to the fact that is much quicker than 6.5 on my Smartphone (I have a Blackstone).

Could you please provide this app as a CAB installation file as WGT files aren't supported in this version of WinMo?

Thanks and regards,

Elvis
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Martin25:
yes i believe so i have seen a nokia widget that uses g-sensor in html so should be possible. the bmi calc tells you % fat when you type in hight+weight.

i may do it as cab for those who do not have widget engine.. this will be open with native browser. as for food log i cant do html that remembers things yet.

-yes this is first been designed as a guide book for most exercises.

-i believe this would be bit much for html/java.. if can be made in flashlite id love to add it.

-im adding kcal intake calc soon so you type them in and it calcs if you have eaten more or less than 2500kcal.

-database of foods without labels is good idea.

-not sure how i would work out calories burned.

-thats the idea lol

-hmm could put a small configurable timer in each exercise page

-too complicated.. bmi calc will tell you if you are over weight from ur hight+weight.

- .wgt files always install to main memory, .cab you chose.

- uninstall via settings uninstall programs.. should be in the list like mine.

yes i will try doing as cab file sometime.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santrapper:
well i like working out for the looks more than the weight gain, so if you can add some Calisthenics Exercises with like daily reminders and routines you have to follow. like make an alarm go off when its time to do your exercises..

[Captivate General] kangi26:
I've done some looking around, and I found the Captivate at Newegg.com for $79.99 with a renewal of contract,

BEWARE!!!!!

I didn't get the warm and fuzzies from Newegg, so I stopped the process with them and called AT&T. Here's what I found:

My existing plan affords me the unlimited Data, without the new data plan restrictions.

When you buy from one of these Authorized AT&T Dealers, they effectively cancel your existing contract, and start a new contract with their name, and that is how they get paid(from AT&T). The Up side is you can get a Captivate for $79.99, the down side is if you have a "true" unlimited data package, you will loose it, and get the data plan with the cap.
[Captivate General] darkamikaze:
That's not completely true..

If you mean "authorized dealers" such as LetsTalk or wirefly .. they let you keep your old unlimited 30$ data plan.. I'm a little surprise newegg wouldn't let you do that.. try calling newegg and argue it back.
[Captivate General] zeezz:
Best Buy was able to do this for me as well, selling at the 99.99 price and giving me the unlimited data after a call to AT&T.
[Captivate General] kangi26:
I dont know about LetsTalk or Wirefly, but Newegg said I would keep my data plan, and appearance wise, it would all remain the same, but it was the AT&T Rep that said the plan would technically change, I would be changing the plan and I would loose the current true unlimited data plan, and would be under the new unlimited data plan that actually has a limit. That's why, they could only offer me the cheaper phone IF my plan was still offered by AT&T.
[Captivate General] malicenfz:
Amazon.com is selling the captivate for .01 with a new contract.
[Captivate General] alex4lex:
Bought my captivate for 99.99@letstalk, and there was an option to keep the unlimited plan. Sounds like you got hosed.
[Captivate General] smurfgod:
I don't know about the contract changes and stuff but, I got mine for $9.99 off Wirefly with a new 2 year contract. Needed 3 lines, now I have 3 lines..lol
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Mnay "authorized dealers" treat a new contract different then an upgrade. Some of these deals ONLY apply to new contracts and it is up to the retailer to decide. New Contracts should not get Unlimited Data - even AT&T store managers get in trouble for doing this. Upgrades to hardware on current contracts do allow you to keep the unlimited data plan if you have it already.

There is nothing magic here, but if you are not sure, you should ask.
[Captivate General] RobertDeBord:
I was able to keep my unlimited plan when ordered from letstalk.
[Captivate General] slim6596:
I also just ordered my Captivate from Amazon for 1 penny (new contract, 4 lines). Quick off topic question, how is the call quality?
[Captivate General] esox23:
I just purchased from WireFly and was able to my unlimited data package no problem. What's odd here is NewEgg uses the same company called Simplexity, that being said there should be NO issues with keeping your current unlimited data plan.

[Captivate General] Belaflek:
I went thru letstalk and they set me up on the limited..I called at&t adn told em I didn't want the plan and I wanted my old one that was grandfathered in. They said ok but not again. I bricked my phone and sent it back to lettalk and they sent mea phone back and changed the data plan on me again...I had to call at&t but they set me back to unlimited data for $30. I thought they were going to allow folks to keep the unlimited forever so long that they stayed with at&t
[Captivate General] pmpntl:
How'd you manage this price? They are showing $149 right now online... any haggling?
[Captivate General] darkamikaze:
costco has it for 99$ too with free bt
[Captivate General] droidal:
I thought I read somewhere they were 99 cents at Amazon.?
[Captivate General] pmpntl:
Is that for new or upgrade?
[Captivate General] kangi26:
There are some GREAT prices out there for the Cap no doubt, I was just warning everyone about what AT&T told me regarding these plans. I didn't want anyone with the true Unlimited Data to loose it, and get stuck with the "New" Unlimited Data, which is capped at 2gig's per month(Not sure of the exact limit)
[Captivate General] darkamikaze:
upgrade :x
[Captivate General] smurfgod:
A buddy of mine has an iPhone 3g and will be upgrading to a Captivate. He called and made sure about his data. If your already on the unlimited, then you get to keep the unlimited. But if you drop it from unlimited..you don't get it back.
