I just read the news about the AT&T Motorola Flipout here and would like to know if there's anything comparable that's available right now. I already know about the sony x10 mini pro, but I can't seem to find any small android phones that have a keyboard that slides out from the bottom.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shawn_pro:
Hi Everyone,

I tried to find a lot on all sections and google for a good touchwiz Mod but to no avail. So i thought of asking u guys for some insight to Mod Touchwiz for our beloved Galaxy S.

So i extracted TouchWiz30Launcher.apk to a folder. Was checking the different resources and i came across \res\anim and i saw two files fade_in_fast.xml and fade_out_fast.xml. Now they are binary XML files. So the question is can we modify or delete some values and speed up touchwiz. I dont care about the fancy transition or effects. Just raw speed. Tried ADW and Launcher Pro but i personally didnt like it. Please forgive me if this is pretty simple. Here is the code for the files.

Guys we modify these values and recompile TouchWiz30Launcher with apk manager.

XML code for fade-in

<alpha fromAlpha="resource_id:0x0" duration="resource_id:0x10e0001" interpolator="resource_id:0x10a0005" toAlpha="resource_id:0x3f800000">

</alpha>

XML code for fadeout

<alpha fromAlpha="resource_id:0x3f800000" duration="resource_id:0x10e0001" interpolator="resource_id:0x10a0005" toAlpha="resource_id:0x0">

</alpha>

check attachment for the files.

Awaiting reply. Thanks in advance.

I might be running Launcher Pro, but I support that you are doing this. Cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hacksome:
Would be useful especially since i've seen Touchwiz drain less battery compared to other launchers. IMHO.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] enzochm:
Thanks for your work, may i ask how to use your file? How could i combine it into the existing launcher application?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] x3gypxtianx:
if it matters that much to you, try picking up how binary numbering works...

Anyways, if I were to try messing around with it - I'd change that last digit in the binary sequence from a 5 to a 3...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nafem:
Firstly, it isn't binary, it is Hex.

I have not tested but I guess if you change the duration to a lower number, you may get lucky but I expect that these values actually point to another resource for the actual value.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] x3gypxtianx:
Sorry, I'm not really a programmer...I just offered an idea because nobody else seemed to at the time.

Also, I thought Hex was 6-digit ranging from 0-F/digit? Or is that for colors only?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shawn_pro:
Hey guys i tried changing the values for the duration but when i over written the modded touchwiz apk to system/app folder i keep on getting Force Closes. Guess i should take a different route. Thanks for the tips guys.

Sorry guys i didnt meant to be rude or show any attitute in the above post. I respect all XDA members. I just hope my findings would be useful to someone who be looking just for it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Not really sure what you're trying to do with this. Are you trying to remove the fade-in/fade-out animation when using the home screen? Why would you? It looks cool!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Nirva2:
I'm interested in removing the animation as well. It looks nice indeed, but it doesn't works smooth on my ZTE Blade. It used to work without lags on my T-Mobile pulse...

After changing the values in the XML file, is it possible to reinstall the file with those changes ?

If so, I can give it a try as well...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] paverhoofd:
Good day,

I have my GS now for about a month, in the beginning everything was really great. No problems but usual ones.

Since last week the alarm clock gets unreliable, it is set for each day, same time, but sometimes it is not doing anything and today it woke me up an hour early. I don't understand why such a simple and basic program screwes around.

And for now i was just texting with my girl, but when i received a message from her it was just displayed in our normal conversation list. But somehow her number was changed into the number from one of my mates, so when i replied my mate got a message. Don't understand me wrong it ends up in the "good"conversation list, but it gets sent to a totally random person in my phone book.

All in all these are not the things i do wish to encounter on a phone like this.

Any other people here experienced similar problems?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] paverhoofd:

Also, are you running an approved ROM or a pre-release ROM
[Galaxy S I9000 General] paverhoofd:
I'm running on the stock shipped rom, haven't rooted anything yet.

Purchased it a month ago at a Dutch provider/retailer, it has no simlock and neither have any crazy (potential dangerous) application been installed.

Rgds Lennart
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Make sure the alarm clock is on the ignore list, though this wouldn't explain the hour early problem. Also, I'm not positive if the ignore list works for automated task killing, though it'd only make sense that it does work that way.

ATK is only worth manual operation IMHO, running it in the background, especially at night when the phone should be idle, will cause battery drain.

Besides ATK, likely cause would be firmware. Though you are assuming that this is a problem in the alarm app based on your question of how a simple program could go so wrong, there could be issues with your clock and/or alarm program syncing to the clock (not actually sure that's a process, but hey). Obviously, bad(/no) info in -> bad (/no) info out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] paverhoofd:
Ok, I've put the clock on the ignore list and also rebooted, it had been switched on for at least two weeks.

This evening (nightjob) i was woken up at the set time and the sms function seems to be working ok now.

Thank you for your help/concerns, if anything else i will keep you posted.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wanted008:
Just wanted to know if call recording was possible with the new 2.2 update?

I know there were limitations with previous firmware recording had to be done via the loudspeaker.

This is a must feature witch should have come with the phone automatically. It's a shame that a 5 year old mobile can do this and the latest hi tech phones can't.

Is there any one that is working on a app? Or work around to get this working?

I have been using Launcher2 from the G2 dump om CM6 because, well, I like it better. The only thing I miss is 270 rotation of the home screen.

Or is anyone interested in modding the launcher?

Any help would be great! Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] ehBrY:
I don't get paid until the 2nd. That is when I'll get my Epic. Will the price drop any more than 199.99 you guys think? The trend of the other 2 Galaxies on the other carriers have gone down to 1 cent.

If I buy from Amazon, and it goes down in price within a few days or a week, will Amazon honor a price adjustment? Because if they didn't, can't I just get a refund and then order it again, but just to save the trouble, they will give me a "price adjustment" like any other store, right? Anyone familiar with Amazon return policy? I just want to know, I'll probably research it myself, but its almost certain I'll buy from Amazon, since its the lowest price around.

Also, do they charge the tax? At the Sprint store they charge you the tax of the original price of $500, can I avoid the tax or just be taxed off the 199.99 price? Anyone familiar with purchasing on Amazon please help me with these questions, thanks, and hope all you early birds come on here to notify us of any major issues, etc.

As you can tell, I'm very tight on money, but I can afford the monthly cost of owning the Epic, are there any other ways to save money? One of the 3rd party local Sprint stores told me they can get me 25% off my bill every month for the duration of my contract. How do they do it? Is it a PROMO code they run into the system when I go through them? Is it possible to get this promotion myself through Amazon? Anyone know? Thanks.

Have a good weekend :)
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
The price might drop after the release. However since the epic appears to be shipping a few weeks after release I suspect the price won't drop for at least a month or 2. Even if it did, you cannot return and rebuy the phone. This is because if you returned the phone you would need to return it, cancel your sprint contract, and then restart. However there is a 90 day waiting period after canceling before you would be eligible for the new contract phone prices.

As for tax, they don't seem to charge it in many states. However phones may be different. I am not 100% sure on this.

Also I don't know what 25% discount they were refering to for you. Most of those are employer discounts. e.g. teachers get 15% off monthly, sears employees get 25% off, etc. If you are a student you can get 15 or 25% off through studentrate.com and they are still taking phone preorders and though the up front cost isn't amazing, the overall price is $175 for the phone and you get a free car charger or invisible shield I think.
[Epic 4G General] ehBrY:
so are you saying if i order thru amazon they won't ship it to me RIGHT AWAY?! Oh gosh, thats a bummer, you're saying I have to wait a few weeks? What about studentrate.com? Are they shipping right away once it hits the 31st??
[Epic 4G General] ForrelZ:
This is false, there is a zero day policy for returning equipt dropping a line and opening up a new line with the same phone I did it about 3 weeks after I got my Evo and got another Evo from a different store since the manager at a Shack wanted to be a douche and not swap out my Evo when it clearly had screen separation issues. I cancelled the whole darn thing and there was nothing he could do about it then got my money back went into a different store and got a new Evo and another line activated at full discount.
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
That's odd. Entropism I believe, who claims to have been a sprint repair technician and is now a sprint sales consultant said there is a 90 day wait, and the wait it tied to your SSN for when they do a credit check, so if you had a contract with sprint and cancelled it, you'd have to wait 90 days for the full new customer discount. Oh well, the internet is full is misinformation.
[Epic 4G General] koolhand79:
Maybe that only applies to people who have been with sprint 30 days or longer. I don't think they would refuse someone who is brand new because they cancelled their initial contract for whatever reason.

Sent from a FRESH EVO using xda app
[Epic 4G General] samsterman:
When I cancelled my Evo in mid-July, I told the Sprint representative handling the cancellation that I was going to wait for the Epic, and specifically asked if the cancellation would be held against me, and he said not at all.

I guess I'll find out for sure on Tuesday!

My guess is that if there is such a rule, it applies to cancellations outside of 30 days while on contract, and perhaps to cancellations off contract as well. In either case, it would appear that the way to get around that is to open the new line first, then cancel the old one. Surely they can't retroactively change the price of the device once you've purchased it, right!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] theintangiblefatman:
Hey guys,

I am attempting to use my AT&T Tilt as a music player, but have run into a problem. When a sound file is played, there is a significant amount of distortion/amplifier hiss generated, mostly in the left channel but a small amount in the right. It can be drowned out by turning the volume up, but the volume has to get unusably loud for this to work. Turning the volume to 0 stops the hiss. This problem is present whether the sound is output through the built in speaker or headphones. Putting the phone in airplane mode did not solve the problem.

I am currently running Myn's Warm Donut, but the problem was present when running both WM6.1 and an Eclair build.

Has anyone encountered this problem before? I haven't been able to uncover any other accounts of this issue.

Thanks for any help.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
CyanogenMod6 is not available for the Vibrant. You're flashiing a ROM for another phone. Pretty much what vortec87 said.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
... Link? the only Froyo that is available is the leaked firmware and its built for the international version and doesn't have JIT enabled.

I'm pretty sure that the original post saying it was CM6 for the Galaxy S is invalid, "HTC Liberty" is the codename for "Aria"

as far as i know as soon as CM6 is out it will be downloadable from rommanager, please someone correct me if im wrong, but i would just wait till you can DL it from that source. be patient it will still be several weeks from what i can guess.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMightiest1981:

I don't mean to be confrontational, but can you either please provide a link to an official announcement or stop spreading rumors?

The only official announcement I have heard is that it will be available for the UK in September. I don't live in the UK.

We can hope that the US versions (damn the US carriers and their stupid shell games anyway) are similar enough to the international version of the Galaxy S that porting it will be easy, but that's hope and wishful thinking. I am only interested in the facts.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
You do know that unofficially when the official ROMs do get released, they can be modified so that when flashing the ROM it doesn't replace your basebands.. basically anything in general that would replace your phone with Euro stuff to cause a brick when you flash and flash back to Eclair (2.1). Eugene has done it for the previous Froyo ROM leak and he's doing it again for the one that was leaked today. So I'm absolutely certain when the official 2.2 from Samsung releases, a developer will do the same.

Is this a permanent solution for people? Especially for people who don't want to flash? No it isn't, but this is XDA, its a place where people mod their phones. Tough luck if you're unable to flash a ROM by just reading instructions.

Would you prefer I tell him that "oh I don't know when Froyo is coming out" and cause another person to post a thread asking when Froyo is coming out?

The answer to that question is pretty obvious. Not being a jerk but don't try to call me out and accuse me of spreading rumors.

And if you really want proof.. this isn't concrete but T-Mobile has definitely made this concrete about a OTA regarding the GPS fix, not promising 2.2 at that OTA but definitely a OTA.

I have the TMOUSA Leo, but I assume the IE is the same in both versions.

Whenever I open a web page in that pocket IE, the text is GIANT, so very little fits on a page. I have to use the zoom bar to reduce the text size so I can read more.

I looked under View, Text Size, and set it to smallest. Didn't make a bit of difference, a page always opens with the same giant text size.

How can I fix this problem? A registry tweak?

Hello all,

The default HTC Album app shows pictures very nice and smooth. We all use it.

Older HTC Album couldn't show even filename of the picture. Now I flashed new AxLor DF2 WWE ROM. It has improved HTC Album app inside, so now you can easily view filename of the picture.

My REQUEST is to add "send by BlueTooth" function to that HTC Album application.

I know that it is possible, because XDA developers already hacked HTC Album app. This will be really useful.

BECAUSE when people show pictures to their friends with HTC Album app, they could easily send/share current picture by BT. Otherwise it's needed to open file explorer, waste time on finding that picture and only then sending it by BT, what is not convenient at all.

WHAT do we need to be done ?

Extend (hack) HTC Album's menu with "send by BT" option

[*]Make an external app that will hook current opened in "HTC Album" picture's reference to send it by BT

[*]Make Pop-up interface
