So I've been experiencing an issue with my Epic. I dont remember exactly when it started, could be about a week after I got it which may also have been when I first rooted but I'm not sure.

But the stock messaging just shuts down periodically, no force close error message, it just shuts down. Happens right when I open it, if I open it a few times sometimes it will let me get into writing a message, then it closes and the message is totally gone.

This is the only app this happens with, except when I try opening apps right after booting but I suspect that is more related to boot process and Startup Auditor preventing certain things from running.

Anyway, has anyone else experienced this or have any help? I haven't seen any other reports, anyone thing the modified MMS.apk which is floating around might help? Thanks!

EDIT: okay so if I could delete this i would... just realized as i typed this out that I had Startup Auditor set to "keep disabled...." ugh

Why does our youtube app suck you know what... bad quality and not even full screen support... my touch pro1/2 was waaaay better...our phones can handle it obviously.

Now my question is can it be done? I've searched and searched and came up with nothing.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
It's already been done in some of the custom ROMs.
[Epic 4G General] usfslacker:
Menu> Settings> View in High Quality will fix your problem I believe.

Don't own the phone yet, but I've done this in Sprint stores to prove to reps that the SAMOLED screen is not worse than the Evos "because Youtube videos look better on the Evo."
[Epic 4G General] lazydazed:
Thanks people!

I'm holding out for 2.2 from sprint (crickets) so I don't really want to root just yet...

Cool it works, lame that I have to do it for every video and it isn't a general setting...oh well

someone in the development section said this was possible... he explained that he flashed clockwork while already in amon recovery. said he was able to make a nandroid backup thorugh the clockwork recovery then when he rebooted he was still on amon's recovery. i thought it was pretty cool.

i am sorry but i cannot remember who it was that said it.

Let me know if there's a better forum for this, but I'm looking to get into Android development as soon as I get my phone next month. I've already written some sample apps with the dev environment running on the simulator. So I'd like to start writing some utilities next - they are the most simple to write usually (and people are more forgiving), and it'll help me up my skillzors.

With that in mind, what Epic specific things would people like to see? Throw out anything Epic specific. I'll probably come up with my own list once I own the phone, but so far I see a few things like:

Easy flashlight app

Better LED notification system

Better 4G management widgets

Keyboard remapping for smiley button etc

Throw out anything. I'm not promising anything, but I definitely want to get dirty and, while doing so, improve my own device.:)
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
Bluetooth audio and in-line audio preferences. Id like to be able to designate what apps push audio through bluetooth, speaker or in-line.

For instance, since my bluetooth headset supports stereo audio, evrything gets sent to it, but the speaker on it sucks, good for calls and nothing else. When in the car, I want music and notifications to go to the inline audio and calls to go to the bluetooth.

Also, the mic works now with in-line audio, but bluetooth still poses a problem. I don't have bluetooth in my car, but want it in my next car.

Thanks... btw, were did you do your research for development. I'm trying hard to get a better beackground and struggling. You can pm me this answer. Also ill test things for you.

Hi,

I have an App that listens for broadcasts from the stock Android MediaPlayer (com.android.music.metachanged, for example). On Samsung devices (Galaxy S, TouchWiz, etc) I cannot figure out if a similar intent is being broadcast and, if so, what it is. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All

Have searched for similar threads with no luck, so I hope this is in the right place and not going over what others have sorted out.

My phone is at HTC Touch Diamond 2 with WM6.5. I used to be able to store 100s of messages on the phone, decided to clear them out, and now every time a message comes through it says that the SIM card is full and I need to delete messages to free up space. When I look there are none, I have checked the deleted and there are none left in there. Is there a way to have messages saved to the SD card instead of the SIM, or is there something I am missing.

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G General] onyx00:
I found other threads potentially relating to this, but none mentioned Exchange ActiveSync specifically. I'm running Evio 1.1 and KingXKernel 8 - I don't believe it is related to these, but feel free to blame them.

Basically, I get unread mails in my Exchange account. I read them using a computer. My Evo is set to sync the Exchange account every 5 minutes. I get repeated new mail notifications, which I verify are being triggered due to the Exchange ActiveSync account using ABD Logcat.

Has anyone seen anything odd like this? I wanted to just float it out here before I really started digging in to it elsewhere.

Thanks in advance for any input. :)

[G1 Android Development] erasmux:
While working on a ROM (for the hero), I have recently tried to do some theming by small changes (i.e. color changes) to the drawables in the framework-res.apk.

It appears the both for me, and the fellow that is helping me (floomat), these 9-patch files are giving a headache. We prefer editing them in some normal app (i.e. photoshop) but this seems to mess up the 9-patch "code".

I have written a very small program to apply the changes to a 9-patch image without disturbing the 9-patch itself. Note that this program is mainly meant as a "proof of concept" and hopefully one of the apk managing tools will pick up the ball and integrate it. In the meantime it might be useful even as it is (with some scripting around it most likely). Or it might be just a way to prove I am fool and there is simpler way to get around this I am not familiar with ;)

"Program" and source: http://www.sendspace.com/file/sw4atc

(its really too small and simple to be called a program)

Usage:

java copy9patch original.9.png changed.png

Will copy the changes made to the changed.png over to the original.9.png but keep the 9-patch data of the original.9.png.

Its code (also included) and the way it works is very simple: It takes the size of the original image (i.e. 19x27), without the 1 pixel border with the 9-patch codes - so in our example it will be 17x25. Now it just copied the center 17x25 pixels from the changed.png over the original's center pixels. It has some very basic boundary conditions if the image sizes do not match but this could probably be handled better, possibly just by issuing an error in these cases.

If you want to use my code, change it, do whatever you like with it please do so and I'll be glad to checkout your result!

NOTE: I feel a bit uncomfortable posting this in the "G1 development" section but I see both apktool and apk manager are here....
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
Huh. I've been wondering if this was possible. I haven't tried this yet but if it works, nicely done! I think that this would be a huge improvement and addition to the themeporter programs that are out there. There is a high demand for this in that area and in the area of HDPI>MDPI/MDPI>HDPI conversion. I'm certainly bookmarking this! ;)
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Awesome, just checked out ur source, so simple but effective ;)

Anyway wanted to ask if ur ok with me incorporating it into theme-porter ? Link

Wht im thinking is perhaps when "Hdpi to mdpi" is on, it would resize the .9.pngs by 66%, after which it would transfer the .9 data using this program so (9-patch) code is preserved.

Let me know. Thnx

FYI : Just gave it a whirl, works perfectly.
[G1 Android Development] erasmux:
Maybe my original post wasn't blunt enough, my code is just "proof of concept" because I am bit lazy in this department (themeing tools) - I'd rather spend my time compiling kernels (go figure ;)).

So my main goal for this post is for developers of apk managing tools and etc. to pick up the ball and go forward with this :)

And to be even clearer:

If you want to use my code, change it, do whatever you like with it please do so and I'll be glad to checkout your result!

(am also adding this to the main post)

Regarding your actual resizing idea, you might want to resize it with the 9-patch "codes" (in the 1-pixel border) because you want the codes from your original HDMI files just resized. This should work, just be careful with resizing algorithms which average pixels and such. If I understand correctly the edge pixels should be either white or black (defining stretchable and context areas). Need to play around with this until it works well.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hmm k i'll spend more time with it, perhaps the resizing program im using causes mishaps. Currently when i resize it completely messes stuff up even though the resolution corresponds to a mdpi device.

I'll do the good ol' trial/error n let u know. Thanks for the (proof of concept) ;)

Edit :

Ok so upon using ur code for transferring images of diff sizes u can obviously tell whts up ;)

So one improvement im thinking off, is if the images differ in size, it could draw the border and eliminate anything outside it. Ugh gotta brush up on my java though :S

[G1 Android Development] pratyush.creed:
Can U just tell how to use this code for bulk images?????
[G1 Android Development] erasmux:
Hmm, haven't used this for a very long time and don't really remember whats going on here.

Still attached is the version which I have on my HD, and it does support bulk images if all the images are in a folder.

If I remember correctly (mostly going by the help that is displayed by running the program without argument):

fixResPngs drawable-mdpi drawable-mdpi.org

Will go over all drawable-mdpi/*.png files (possibly also sub dirs?! I really have no idea, sorry), and "fix" each such file. If I am not mistaken it needs a "reference" file only for 9 patch files which are identified by their ".9.png" suffix (regular pngs I think are just rewritten without any change which I found improves compatibility). In case of a 9 patch file, the original file with exactly the same name should be found under the directory given in the second argument. For example: If drawable-mdpi/aaa.9.png is processed the 9-patch data will be copied from drawable-mdpi.org/aaa.9.png.

Obviously it also still works on single files. It does *not* work on lists of files or lists of directories.

If anyone is interested in the code, I am sure I have it somewhere (I hope)....

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFurriousD:
I would like to almost completely replace the stock messages app. My dilemma is that I really enjoy the stock notifications for the stock messages app, but I like how handcent is set up brr than the stock app. I have the notifications turned off in handcent and the notifications on for the stock app. But this makes it so when I read the message with hand cent it doesn't mark the message as read in the stock app thus the notification stays up in the status bar until I clear it manually, which is becoming annoying. So the only way I can think off to fix it, since I could not find a setting to mark them as read, would be to take all of the handcent files except the notification settings and use them to replace the stock app files. hopefully someone can help me figure how to do this out provide me with an easier way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] jerrya:
So, saw someone ask something about this over in the HD2 Themes and Apps, but thought I would ask over here.

This is a challenge to the brilliant minds over here. I was wondering if anyone was willing to see if they can come up with a program that allows you to place a point on a map, and by using GPS, activates an alarm when you get close.

What I am invisioning is this. You get on the bus, want to catch a few zzz's, but don't want to miss your stop. So you know where the bus stop is going to be, so you pull up the program, find the general vicinity where you want to stop, and pick that place, then go to sleep. When you get within 1 mile, the phone wakes up and sends an alarm indicating you are close to your destination.

I currently do that, except I don't really sleep, since I don't want to miss the stop. I get up crazy early, and catch a few winks on the hour long ride. BUT I have almost missed a stop a few times.

I was also thinking using it on flights as well. Imagine being able to call your friend (using the planes phone) letting them know you are flying over thier house at that moment?

So is anyone up to the challenge? I can't program or script, but I can help with ideas and testing. Is this feasable, or am I asking too much?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zyphuris55:
I've thought about this too since I'm an often train user. With the program also containing a cell tower feature when the gps isn't found.

I have the skills to make the program, but I sadly lack the time to start another major project :-(.

The closest program I know of which allows location sensing and change something via registered locations is PhoneAlarm ( http://www.pocketmax.net/phonealarm.html ). Get some code from them, add in a new interface and features, it should be easy.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] gorelshv:
You are lucky, as I am currently using a pre-alpha version of a program

I wrote myself, which does exactly what you want and also has the cell tower feature.

The interface is very basic and not so intuitive and there is no help file provided.

Also, units are in Kilometers (which is what we use here in Israel) and not Miles and

preferences are not saved (there is only one available, anyway...:p)

The program, however, allows you to save multiple locations with separate setting

for each location and a quick search box is available, and the best thing - IT WORKS! :D

I use it myself daily so I won't miss the bus stop.

Sadly, I plan no further development of this software.

You can download from here:

http://www.multiupload.com/0I5VCLAKV4

Switch alarm.mp3 file with any other mp3 file you want to use as an alarm.

If you need further assistance, just leave a massage here. :)

BTW 1: there is no map feature. use google maps on your PC to extract the destination

coordinates or use the Program's "Insert" function to store current coordinates.

BTW 2: this program works on WVGA and WQVGA devices. Tested on HD2 and Omnia.

BTW 3: I still haven't found a name for it so I just call it PBA - Position Based Alarm.
