[Android Software Development] Spectral8x:
Alright so I am trying to help out and get a backup of /system from my GF's samsung intercept. A dev over on SDX managed to flash a custom recovery to the phone. There are no issues from what I can find with the recovery accept for the fact that I cannot backup /system....or atleast I cannot find where it backs it up.

The recovery says it backs up successfully but it should be on the SD card in a folder named sdx but there is no folder. The dev told me to open up a terminal emulator and type mount. This is what it spit out:

ootfs / rootfs ro 0 0

mpfs /dev tmpfs rw,mode=755 0 0

evpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=600 0

roc /proc proc rw 0 0

ysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0

mpfs /sqlite_stmt_journals tmpfs rw,

dev/stl5 /system rfs ro,codepage=utf

check=no 0 0

dev/stl6 /data rfs rw,nosuid,nodev,c

=128,xattr,check=no 0 0

dev/stl7 /cache rfs rw,nosuid,nodev,

)=128,xattr,check=no 0 0

mpfs /sdx tmpfs rw,size=152k 0 0

Can I get any help on how to find this backup?
[Android Software Development] jles1693:
Ok I did see this issue as well rooted and custom kernel on intercept but does not create the folders

go to the root of your sdcard and create the following folders

/sdx

and inside that folder create 2 folders /backup and /zip

reboot the phone and let it come back up, then reboot into recovery and choose the option for backup and then backup both /system and /data, then when you go back to the sdcard, the .tar file will be in the backup folder
[Fascinate General] daavy:
ok now that we have a recovery...

was there already a fix for the gps on other galaxy variants?
[Fascinate General] Mike_Fascinated:
***Credit to sessionthree over at droidforums.net***

"Try downloading GPS Status (free) from the market. I read somewhere that this app did something to the initialization of the GPS that fixed it for other apps on the Galaxy series. "

ive personally tried this and its fixed my GPS issues on 3G.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoking3:
Hi guys,

I am experiencing something really annoying. Many times when I press the left arrow (the one that opens the menu with all apps) the Status bar drops down. This is not all: sometimes when I hit an app to open or even when I try to type something, the Status bar drops down... Could it be a screen calibration issue? Any1 experiencing the same?

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ed-UK:
I've noticed the same thing occasionally, but I came to the conclusion that it was my thumb or finger wrapped around the back if the screen holding the phone just touching the top corner/edge of the screen, causing the notification area to pop downwards!

Have a fiddle around using the phone and if it happens again look closely where your fingers are ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anotherdroid:
stop holding it like it's an iPhone :) seriously, your left thumb is bumping into the status bar. knock it off...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoking3:
I hate the iphone.:) Very very much. So I wont ever do anything iphone like. I thought it might be my thumb but still.. Touch is better on galaxy s unfortunately. But that phone is worth as a whole.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtrab:
I am so curious about my first android toy (X10), I am very excited, so I'm ready to be flamed and bashed for my noob Qs (search is not working properly :confused:)

Oh yes ! I'm a noob again :p

My Qs:

1- How do I sort my contacts list in last/first name instead of fist/last ??

2- Is it possible to auto-sync contacts avatars to their corresponding facebook profile pic ??

Thanks for being kind :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suzed:
If you've come from WM then you will know we all have to be a noob at some point.

On the contact front, don't think the stock phone book works that way. I use a freebie app called Gesture Search, you use it to draw with your finger the first letter of your contact, be it first or last name. You can add more letters if you need to narrow your selection down. There are probably other phone book/contact apps out there on the market and others can point you in the direction of their favorite.

There is another app called Sync my pix which lets you bring over Facebook contact pics but I think that the 2.1 update due very soon gives you a better Facebook for Android app that lets you sync Facebook and your phone.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Android!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtrab:
these are small issues, but somehow dissapointing :(

will I be able to sort my contacts with the OS upgrade ??

.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1sr:
I must admit, the flavour of this post is a little better than the one asking us to read the user manual for you ;)

You're going to go through a big disappointment phase, noticing Android just isn't anywhere near as customisable as WM. This will soon turn into elation when you realise Android isn't anywhere near as buggy, ugly, or downright crap as WM.

Android 'works', WM doesn't - it's kina the between WM and Apple - you sacrifice some customisation but you get something nice in return that doesn't need quite so much anyway...

I don't think you'll ba able to sort your contacts - google "Android releases" or something to find out a little more about that... there's also a thread in here somewhere that lists a whole lot of changes.

also, think outside the square on this one - maybe just re-write them lastname, firstname and there you have it. of course that's a pain, but it's a method.

I think syncing with Facebook is part of 2.1 (not sure though).

My advice is to let go, and embrace the new platform for what it is - I went through a ton of pain moving from WM, but it was worth it!

Enjoy! :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtrab:
thank you k1sr

Soon there will be less Qs and more collaborations

Great to see u on here gtrab and I'm stoked for what's to come. :-)

Imho once u get familiarized with android u will like it way more than winmo
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Singhman:
On my iphone i can stream mp3 files easily, but cant on my sgs. Ii normally just click on the "download" icon, and it starts playing, but on my sgs is says "cannot download...the content is not supported on this phone"

Even if i can just save it as a mp3, thats ok too...but it wont allow me to. Here is the link:

http://gnosticradio.org/lectures/le...-retreat-2008/131-1.-imagination/view-details

i normally hit the download button on iphone. OH...i should also tell you that although these are mp3 files...when i save them on my computer, it automatically puts them in folders according to complexity of the lectures. They are imbedded with that info...but what options do i have to save this file on my phone? thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jimmy-bish:
Downloads perfectly fine in JPC Froyo. 73.46mb MP3. Damn!!

Try downloading Astro File Manager, going into Settings, More, Preferences (In Astro) and then Enable Browser Download. That might help you before Froyo's released officially.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nkhambal:
Hi,

I loaded FroyoStone V2 release on my HD2 yesterday. First of all, thank-you for a very stable release. It is great release with much improved battery life. Now the battery on my HD2 last through the whole work day which is around14 hrs.

However, unexpectedly my HTC market app seems to be not working. It opens up fine as a widget or as an app launched from the programs folder. But when I try adding any stock symbol for tracking, it crashes and force close on me as soon I hit the + button on the screen.

Any idea why this is happening and if there is any fix for this?

Thanks,

hi guyz .. i just saw this post today surfacing on the top of our forum...here is the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=785645

since the clock is ripped is it possible for this sense flipping clock to be ported to our samsung galaxy s????
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LevitateJay:
Omg pleeeeeeeeeeeaseeeeeee
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
I doubt it...... you need sense and it's a little limited and convoluted.

Why not just install something like Fancy Widget or Weather Widget?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] devabhishek:
i have been using fancy widget for a long while now.. i agree there is not much difference ..... but we are here to get the best and the most for our devices... if we start being satisfied in everything then this world would come to an end ..

satisfied-----> no development

no development -----> boring world

boring world-------> no point living like dead
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
i can agree to that expect the last part

it's actually quite comfortable pace and quiet, until some one stirs up the water again.

specially all those false alarms at bugs and problems some make it out to be a big deal when it's just a tiny issue.

Now back on topic, I do like Fancy Widget better, is nicer cooler, softer, and those touch spots are configurable as a soft menu to launch apps, which is perfect !
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
You need the htc framework to support their widgets.

Alternative ?

- Well considering the "scrolling/animated widget" is open source (by koxx if i recall), someone with experience in java/time on their hands could come up with such a widget.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
Agreed on the framework, that's why I mentioned Sense being needed.

As to someone else creating a widget, whatever they create they would have to be very careful as other widget developers have had to either terminate their widget or alter so as not to infringe HTC's patent.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Iacopo91:
in order to install this last version of Htc Clock (from sense 1.6 of desire hd) you need to flash the up.zip on a SENSE rom, if u read the entire post he explains how... bye

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] scottishwarrior:
Looking good, may have to try it out when you release.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] frostman89:
Thread updated with link to an installable zip.

Hope you guys enjoy!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] bblanski:
Just installed. Went smooth.. will let you know how it goes..

Could you change the lock screen where it says move puzzle piece to something else?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] frostman89:
Not unless I start working with someone who knows xml lol. It's text, not an image, I can only change images.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] bblanski:
That's cool. Still looks better
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Whitepaint:
Love the theme! install went smooth, and looks fantastic!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] money226:
Awesome theme. Thank you very much. I wish that when I selected something that is was still blue though instead of orange :( Orange reminds me of jail.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] frostman89:
Can you point me out where it shows Orange? I will see if I can fix it.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] money226:
Here is where I'm talking about.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] money226:
And here.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] money226:
And finally here. I'll let you know if I find anymore. Blue or green please anything but orange. Thank you again. Just looking at it now it's also like that in the messaging app and pretty much anywhere else that a selection is made.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] frostman89:
Gotcha, i will work on it soon, I will be busy these next few nights, but I definetly know where those images are so I should be able to take care of them. Also I see a bug in the battery on your screenshots, so I shall address that too.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] ludeboy:
I also realized I didn't swap out the signal meter. I just took care of it. But you're better with this than I am so I'll leave it to you and use your framework instead :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] tats_06:
I get orange selection highlight in all menus/screens...but I don't mind it...although like a smoked blue would be sweet... Otherwise, theme looks fantastic!!! :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kinjutsu:
Installed through root explorer, and works and looks great, minus the orange highlight issue, minor IMO.

Had to use Root Explorer because Im using a mac, and can't put clockwork without a PC, havent had a chance to go to a friends with a Windoze computer
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] billakid:
Looks nice Ima install and let you know how it goes
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] billakid:
Download link dosent work
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] money226:
Thanks for the fix. Looks awesome now.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kinjutsu:
Looks better as far as highlights go, however, on certain popup dialogs (like when setting a default app for a specific action), the bottom buttons, ok and cancel, look off compared to the modified dialog based on your modified framework files. I'll try to get a screenshot of what i'm talking about when i can
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] frostman89:
Yea I know what your talking about, I noticed it before even posting it but its a minor bug and it was really late. I have to track down and see which 9png I need to fix.

I have to reupload the attachments anyhow, courtesy of a failed xda system maintenance.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] frostman89:
Uploaded newer files again.

Changelog:

9/24 - Added roughly 250 more images to framework-res. Eliminated all orange highlights with green glossy ones from NexTheme. Fixed the signal bars. Fixed some unthemed battery images. Few other things. Also added back to stock framework to the attachments. Flash same as usual.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] TheMayor5152:
Is there any way to get the stock lock screen with this?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] frostman89:
stock lockscreen as in you don't want the puzzle and glass screens themed, but want to keep the other parts themed?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] tats_06:
Theme looks great!!! One thing I wonder is if the download icons can be a bit nicer...the download arrows look too big...may be like froyo htc ones? :o
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] TheMayor5152:
No I want the original puzzle piece lock screen
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kinjutsu:
Is this with the popup dialogs fixed, or just a re-up of your last upload?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] frostman89:
Re up haven't had time
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitewalker033:
Thanks installed nice and smooth
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Saz5:
I'm on a mac as well. Can you quickly explain how you installed this using Root Explorer please? Thanks!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kinjutsu:
unzip the attachment and put both files (framework-res.apk and twlauncher-res.apk) on your sd card

In Root Explorer:

go to the "sd card" folder

hit the menu key, and select "Multi-Select" and select both "framework-res.apk and twlauncher-res.apk" files, hit the "Copy" button

scroll to the top and select "..." to go back to the home directory

scroll down and select "system", then "framework"

**Make sure you have r/w permission by checking the top right corner button. If it says "Mount R/W", push the button to allow write permission***

Hit the "Paste" button

DONE!

I suggest backing up your original framework files, however in the OP there is a back up zip provided, so you can do as you please. Push the original files back following the same steps as above, using the stock files.

Hope this helps!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Saz5:
Thanks so much for the quick reply! I'll try this out as soon as I can wrangle my laptop back from my wife...Will let you know how it goes.

Update: Worked perfect! This theme is beautiful!

Is it uploaded already? Thank you for such hard work!!! :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] frostman89:
Yea it is, just look next to the views on the attachment. Should tell ya how new it is depending on how many times it has been downloaded. I don't like naming it v2.2.1 or something like that because after 10 versions your phone and my pc both will be very cluttered.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] DrewDanger:
Ok here comes my totally rookie question. Do I need to do that De-tox thing before I install this? Ive tried reading all about it but Im just not sure what the heck it is, can someone please dumb it down for me and let me know if i for real need it or not?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] yankeeboy73:
LMFAO!!!! :D

I will let a Dev answer this for you - but from what I understand, it makes the theming easier to implement. I have the Deodexed with the theme, and it is now running smoooooooooth
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] frostman89:
Nope your good as is. The framework res never had odex files to begin with. If you want to start theming your apps in system, then you will the deodex apps.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] DrewDanger:
Thanks for being an idiot. I asked a simple question, if you dont have an answer for it then why bother replying. You were a rookie at this at one point and time. I would rather ask questions before I do something rather than mess it up.

Frost thanks for your timly reply my friend, its greatly appreciated =)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] DrewDanger:
Last question since this really isnt a "rom" but rather a theme. If and when a rom does come out, can I just flash it over this or would I need to go back to stock?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] yankeeboy73:
@Drew - I wasnt making fun of you, it just sounded funny. Not only was I a rookie, I probably still am - I ask many questions where people would think were ridiculous to ask. So in retrospect, sorry for making it seem like I was being a ****...it wasnt meant in a bad way.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] frostman89:
It would all depend on the instructions of that Rom. Your phone with this theme applied is pretty much in the same category as a stock rooted phone.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] TheMayor5152:
Just another heads up.i have black on black text in the notifications ticker. Like when downloading or updating apps
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] frostman89:
Are you using the stock android market app or a substitute?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] CDODGE:
If you have 2 e-mail accounts setup when you open the e-mail app the account you are in use to be highlighted in blue but now it is black. Honestly not a big deal at all but i just wanted to point it out.

Also is there a way to get the default lock sscreen back? I am looking for the puzzle piece not the stock android. If not, not a huge deal because the rest of the theme is awsome :)

I am loving this theme. keep up the great work.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] frostman89:
I will make a flashable one during the weekend, sorry keep forgetting.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
Again man, this is good stuff. Takes a lot of the estrogen out of stock. :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Lieb909:
Install went smooth and it looks great.

Only thing is that when I press a key on the keyboard the white box that is supposed to come up with the letter is just blank. Not sure if that's a bug or not. Either way great job. :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
I am noticing this horizontal line about mid screen at a slight angle which I find very annoying. It goes away when I reflash stock, which leads me to believe it's in the theme. Is anyone else having this issue?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] frostman89:
That's a glossy reflection I put there lol.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
Rofl. Alrighty then, might not be bothersome now that I know it was intentional. :P

Extract it, and look at all the images in framework-res.apk with the zz or zzz beginning, they are all towards the bottom.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] emplox:
What weather widget is that?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] suzook:
Sorry to be a pest, but is there anyway for someone to create a .zip to get the original puzzle lock? I love this theme...just liking the puzzle lock better...thanks...would appreciate it.
