[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Steve.Beanz:
First off, I am a complete noob at all this. I don't understand a word of th

Technical jargon. Anyway, thanks to the devs who spend crazy amounts of their free time to do all of this. To me, that is what makes android, android. Encryption, I one hundred percent agree with your post/rant. Every word. I have tried rooting this phone, but was unsuccessful so far. Personally I love this phone. Its fast, looks good (to me anyway), and does plenty more than what I expect out of a "phone". Maybe its cause I spent six years with bb. I dunno.

Now to go actually on topic. Lol. The g1 was extremely successful because they enhanced what was already there (or at least I think). For this phone, enhance what we have. 2.1. I personally would rather have a complete, stable, finished product than a "we are almost there, but we will move on too the next (2.2 for example). I work on music all day, and that is one of the biggest problems in that field. Too many unfinished projects before they move on to the next.

Sorry for the super long first post. I hope I came across right and no one takes it the wrong way. Lol. I would love to be able to do what you people do, but this is alien language too me. Thanks again. Now back to try and root this phone so I can get rid of the T-mo baggage.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Butzacooky:
Just thought of somethings cool that could be put in!

How about a way to control your music in ur status bar (like the galaxy s) cause I've always wanted that ever since I got this phone :D

Then a way to control some more functions on the lockscreen like if you got a text message, you could swype up and itll go to ur text messaging app or click it to get there.

a partially transparent (like when you press the power button on the phone) status bar background (when it's pulled down)

Another idea would be to make the lockscreen be a "popup" of the homescreen kind of like when you press the power button and everything else in the back gets blurry; instead of having a lockscreen, it would be the home screen but have the lock mechanism over it. kind of hard to explain...

and it could also be implemented into the app drawer. the app drawer could also be swyped up like most of the other phones out there instead of pressing the arrow to open it.

oh and battery percentage :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sandpaperback:
This functionality can be quickly enabled on any ROM with ADW Launcher. You can also do it with LauncherPro, I believe.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
I've been messing around a bit with chiefz's OTA ROM for a bit, I may post it later today.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Steve.Beanz:
@r0man

What do you have going on with it?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
Deodexed, all themes included, T-Mobile stuff removed. Pretty simple stuff. Might even do some theming of my own (gradient black bar, anyone?)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bournefusion:
r0man, that would be awesome. I used Chiefz' rooted update rom and I really liked it, tho right now I'm using CM6. If you theme it up a bit and clean out some of the tmo gorp on there, that would be great, and I would prolly go back to 2.1.

This is probably a dumb question, but wesgarner mentioned that he was fixing the slow gps fix for CM6 and that it would be finished for last night's nightly. I know that CR's 2.1 rom also had a slow gps lock (sometimes 5 minutes for me). Could the same fix be incorporated into your rework of CR's 2.1 updated rom?

I know that might be a dumb question, so for all the guys out there who know more than me, I'm just asking a noob question.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Steve.Beanz:
That's awesome. What do I need too study to learn this stuff?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
Depends on what the actual issue is, if its something that doesn't require recompiling the ROM then I most likely can backport it (can't rebuild a ROM without its source)

Also, that wasn't a noob question :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
I was wondering if a different lockscreen was possible?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bournefusion:
r0manz, thanks. Wes Garner indicated that it was the gps.conf that caused the slow lock, and that the "new libgps" has been uploaded to the repos and was awiting @koush to merge. So it may be more than one file that needed tweaking.

BTW, I enjoyed your 1.7, 1.8 and 2.0 roms. I'm about as bad about rom-hopping as I used to be about distro-hopping a few years back, but I kept going back to those.

I like the black theme that you did for 1.8. That would be fantastic to see as part of the themes. The other thing that would be great would be working Swype like Eugene_373 implemented in some of his earlier 2.1 roms - it was basically stock, and looked and felt perfect.

Finally, is it possible to do a stock/espresso rom that doesn't use the htc dialer? I can't stand that dialer - I much prefer the AOSP dialer that has the favorites tab. That might not be an option, as I think that the dialer is pretty heavily tied into the sense ui - but that's a guess on my part.

Thanks for all your work!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
What kind of lockscreen would you like incorperated into a rom?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
The Espresso one is actually better than the original vanilla ones that required the Menu button to be pressed to be unlocked so I have no problem with it. I just like the other ones (any other one that is easy for the devs to install). Any one that requires touch. The one's you'd find on the current roms like CM6 and others. Seems to be the most popular one.

The one's like GOTO and WidgetLocker are actually the best ones to find on the market and they work well. They are buggy, though. It stops the camera from working, etc.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] i0nicx:
2.1

if someone feels so inclined to fix the keyboard lights on #TEAMSLIDE Nonsense rom I would love them forever. It's a complete vanilla 2.1 which I love, but the keyboard lights don't work and neither does the USB mounting.

Minus those 2 problems I've run this rom for around 2 months without a single FC or any problem whatsoever(even running dumfuq's OC kernal on it =) ) This rom is faster/zippier/more responsive than any 2.2 rom I've used with the OC kernal.

They currently have v1.4 of it up, and I have 1.3 if someone wants it(1.3 ran better than 1.4 for me)

I apologize in advance if someone requested this. However I did try search to prevent this but its temporarily down. Above is linked to the htc incredible android section with their port of the desire hd new sense. My friend has the incredible and is loving what this has to offer. Of course this is at an early stage and they don't have everything working, but since our slide's come stocked with sense, I figured it was worth a shot to throw out there. For the record, I do thank everyone for their efforts, both developers, and the community for their feedbacks to help better the softwares, and the ops and moderators for keeping our section clean to easy display what we need minus the clutter =) I upgraded from the g1 a few months ago, and have never posted because everything was always in front of me. I don't know if the rom on this link is any help or if you need to request the dump, but I'm sure you mod's are well known and have connections in many of the other sections on xda. Thanks

A Samsung galaxy Apollo port would be good its a low Res touchwiz phone so that would be nice if possible

Possibly a detailed guide for building a kernel from source specific for the Slide?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] angelo420:
Can someone port the MIUI rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
now that is a promising looking rom. my biggest issue is the fact that there is no app drawer i have tons of apps even when i use adw and the galaxy s drawer i have 10+ pages to flip through with 4x4 rows so imagine that with all of the widgets i use im looking at 13+ pages minimum thats a lot of flipping!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] angelo420:
Does apps2ext enable me to have that many Apps
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
Yea because everything goes to your sdcard and not internal memory
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dezt818:
Sorry i had. The slide ; / dissapointed in it traded for a hd2 and now have a nexus one waiting for my g2((:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
with all due respect... we dont care man :rolleyes:

and hi guys, im going to be around here in the near future when i get my new/used slide in a few weeks.

and my idea not just for the slide but for android would be a new launcher that allows you to see custom layouts by applying a theme like the ones on sony ericsson phones back in the day, for those not familiar with it here are some screens -> http://www.blogiseverything.com/files/pics/flash_menu_SEphone.jpg

http://img339.imageshack.us/i/themesmg3.jpg/

idk how handy it would be but they are really good looking with animated backgrounds and stuff, the menus are flash lite 2.0 files that go along with a theme... i know a new launcher would take a lot of development and time but its just an idea. MIUI with app drawer would be perfect right now :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
your idea to me seems a lot like how the current my modes works or htc scenes within htc sense ui devices. am i right in that assumption or am i way off in left field.

also there are a couple home apps that let you back up the way it is set up but widgets do not come back right so i am thinking that the launcher developers could take that idea a little further and allow multiple backups with names so you can restore whichever fits your mood is that in essence what you are looking for?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
not exactly... im thinking about the way apps are shown in the drawer, like rosie where you can choose to see the apps as a list and then there is the normal 4x4 but that is it, im talking about making a rotating view you know a wheel with all the apps where you can scroll from side to side and see maybe 5 apps in front and 5 in the back like far away like the first two and the last one with the girl here http://img339.imageshack.us/i/themesmg3.jpg/

is like the 3d view in launcher pro but sideways and just one line with an animated background like a live wallpaper within the app drawer, thats it :D

here is a video of how they look like

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY6Ffqw7M2E&feature=related

this is also a cool thing, shake to change the wallpaper. maybe an app for that?? haha

btw, some guys are already working on a port of MIUI for the g1 over here

MIUI on my Slide would be GREAT!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cingall:
I'm a little late to the party, but I had some ideas regarding themes. I've tried messing around with the U/I colors in CM 6 to recreate themes I used to have on the G1 and it just isn't the same as flashing a theme.

I went back through the G1 themes forum looking for some of the old classics. Just to clarify I'm not suggesting they be ported to Slide I'm suggesting looking into similar ideas from themes we've seen before on other devices.

Two of my favorite themes were Enoch and Darkstar, would be nice to see a dark theme for the Slide. Another theme that was popular was manup's Prodigal Sun theme; would be nice to have something similar for the Slide where users had their pick of what color they wanted for a theme.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Check out my Blackslide, a ported version of Blackmod originally for the hero.

In the themes/apps forums, you'll find that acejoker is porting prodigial sun. He has some versions up already.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] faylix:
My G1 ran HTC Clay's Super CSDI remix.

I always wondered what made the CSDI roms so fast and usable. What was the specific technology employed there?

Would it be possible to port this method, include it in a 2.2.1 rom and release it?

The performance improvement for the G1 was HUGE.

I bet it could do a lot for the slide as well..

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
i think zipalign pngcrush and some other things to make it more efficient as for doing those on the slide roms idk if they will get done because the devs that worked on roms using those don't have the slide anymore or never at all so the only things going on are theme ports and slight mods and hacks. but maybe we will see something great soon.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
The "implemented technology" was/is a spanish dev named Super@tmel that has always made the fastest roms for the g1 and now he owns a nexus one as well. i was thinking the same think a few days ago, port one of his froyo roms for the g1 over to the slide and see what it can do... anyone? :D

no biggie.....no complaints and I am fearful of typing much for fear of Oh, that was mot an idea or request, it was a complaint or a question which it is neither.....

Not gonna happen til tmo releases 2.2 for our slides soooo maybe next year
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
Htc should just skip 2.2 and goto 2.3 to save time, 2.2 is getting old I guess. Google is prepping 2.3 for their N1 and probably the G2.

Will anyone attempt to port a rom with Sense UI 3.0 ?

Like a port from the HTC Desire HD or the MyTouch Slide.

I know, iknow, screen resolutions are different, but to modify the resolution/density is possible, I tried LCD Density For Root app from the market, and I'm able to go as much as 120 or 110, and Sense handles it, although some apps become smaller... Still it seems possible.

I was using GratiousSlide rom, which has Sense UI and Froyo.

So please, anyone! Give out a try :)

Here is a screenshot of screen density changed to 120

You know what I would LOVE? Some sort of a port of the MyModes .apk from the stock ROM! I used that ALL the time, and its the number one thing I always missed from stock before I rooted. Hell, just a .apk would be awesome, but I don't think we can put something like that up here. Oh wells.

You know what I'd really like? To get MyTouch Music working on my phone. I'm not sure how hard (or easy) it would be... I tried backing up the APK with Titanium, but it didn't work when restored into CM 6.

In any case, I loved that program -- current music, no ads, clean and simple.

How about this for a ROM:

Froyo (2.2 or 2.2.1 I guess)

but instead of Sense, ESPRESSO

possible?

I dont mind sense, but the stock rom on this thing + performance boost of froyo and extra features = best rom for the Slide
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
Not possible, you'll have to wait for official 2.2.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JAWheat411:
I agree. I was in love with my Espresso ui. Alot fresher looking than the same old Sense ui over and over. We have been using that for what? A year now.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
The only thing I really miss from Espresso is the recent apps in the notification bar, perfect for multitasking!

Sense 3.0 has it, and some other cool extra features, that'd why I wish someone make a port. Pleeeeease :)

All the applications we install , either we have to accept all the permissions or cancel the installation .

Could we change the permissions of the the applications after installation or while installing ?

There is a google thread on this .

Do we have any application that can change permissions of other applicaitons ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
You could try to modify permissions of an app using apktool, but then it will probably FC.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mercianary:
What about running an app from a sandbox. Would this be possible?

The sandbox could tell the app the phone is in airplane mode and give it access to a seperate filesystem.

Probably not even possible though :(

If you have good programming skills and will build your own ROM, then yes, it's possible ;-)

Selectively allow specific permissions for an application

Reposted from http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6600:

When you install an application on Android, it tells you all the "features" it will be using, like being able to access your GPS location.

I have one or two applications made by large companies that I don't want to stop using, but they periodically poll your GPS location while the application is running, and the application has no reason to do so.

Everything else with the application is fine, I just don't want to permit it to use GPS.

Disabling Wireless and GPS ability everytime I run the application is a headache, and prevents my other GPS required applications from working.

When you install any application and it gives you that list of permissions/features it requires/uses, I would like the ability to uncheck ones I do not approve of, to prevent it from being used.

Examples of items I really desire ability to uncheck:

Your personal information

Services that cost you money

Your location

Phone calls

etc.

Have this modifiable after install in the Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications section.

If an application fails to work if I do this, I would rather wait for an update, or intentionally choose to allow it to work as intended with the feature I do not want, rather than be forced to "take it or leave it".

See Google Code for the issue:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6600.

Any experienced developers interested in working on a patch?

Re-posting in this thread some information for people who kept posting in the Galaxy-specific Android development thread:

Another promising app is apktool, which can re-engineer an APK and change permissions
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] willu:
The Apex tool is also interesting. Links are given in android issue 6266, and I would re-post them here, but the anti-spam tools are not letting me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Izzysoft:
@Willu: There is no "APEX tool" available as far as I know. Up to now, that's just a very good study of what should be established in the Android system itself (APEX stands for Android Permission Enhancement eXtension and is intended as a kind of API, as far as I understood). So e.g. at installation time, when prompted to "agree to the persmissions or abandon the install", there could be some "experts" button where the user could (un)check permissions separately.

They even thought of what would happen if the now "castrated" accesses a feature it thinks to be granted (in case the author was not aware that permissions could be revoked). For most cases, there's an easy way: Internet connection is simply "currently not available", SD card is "read-only", and so on.

I could not download the permBlocker application. However, directly editing packages.xml works for me:

adb pull /data/system/packages.xml

cp packages.xml packages.xml.bak

# modify packages.xml

adb push packages.xml /data/system/packages.xml

adb reboot

For modifying packages.xml, search the file for the package name (or part of the name). There is a <package> block. Inside this is a <perms> block. Delete lines with undesired permissions from the <perms> block.
