Sorry. I am new.

So i have done the whole revoke thingy so now how do i go about getting themes on my desire? How wet behind the ears do i sound?????:(
[Desire Themes and Apps] zHk3R:
1) Find a ROM

2) Find a theme for it

3) Flash the .zips

Done.
[Desire Themes and Apps] beemer1972:
I have looked in the tinterweb and is it really that scary?
[Desire Themes and Apps] zHk3R:
I have no idea what that means.

You need a custom recovery image to install a ROM + theme. So download ROM Manager from the Market and install the ClockworkMod.

I'm guessing you have a Desire, seeing as it's posted here: Go into Desire Android Developement and find a ROM you like. Since you're into themes I suggest OpenDesire, LeeDroid or Cyanogen.

Flash the ROM

Boot the phone

Reboot to recovery

Flash the theme

Boot the phone

Now it's all sexy.
[Desire Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:

First this is similar to newones757`s. (sorry I´m not allowed to post links, new user restriction)

I`ve changed some things here and there but i thought this too different to post it in his thread.

ALL LINKS IN THE RESOURCE PACK.(attached)

(some tiles are "german", in the following days I`ll add some more)

Need:

LauncherPro Plus (resizable widgets)

FolderOrganizer (directories)

Desktop Visualizer (for custom widgets)

Resources/Tiles (psd/pngs)

I Also recommend to get Astro but its not necessary.

___

Do:

Get the apps and resources.

Set LauncherPro in settings to 5 rows (in Advanced settings).

Remove Apps from dock and change the launcher icon into a transparent one (in resources pack).

Get some free space (3x3) and longpress on a homescreen. Go to widget dialog and take DesktopVisualizer (large), choose a tile and an app/FolderOrganizer label.

Remove the name and hover-effect. Press ok.

Now longpress the widget/tile until it gets bigger and moveable. Just release it now where you have taking it and resize it to 2x2.

For private service write me to nanis-ce@freenet.de

Congratz and have fun with your Windroid 7 UI :)

At least, please forgive me for any "bad english" in this thread.

I meant apps to change themes and wallpapers all over Xperia X10. Modifying everything including SE dialer, messenger, Mediascape and Timescape...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] _calum_:
You'll need to check out the link that XperiaX10iUser posted for that. Or check out chewitts Dark10 series, as these are pretty complete so you can see everything that is being modified.

You'll get 3rd party apps to change the wallpaper, but these won't be able to change the Timescape or Mediascape background. It would be possible to write an app to do this, or if you had the modified backgrounds you could maybe use something like ninjamorph to update the background files. I'm not sure if Mediascape would update immediately or after a reboot, and for timescape you would need to go into the themes and reselect the current theme...

Long story short :D It would be possible to change the wallpaper, ms and ts backgrounds using an app but there isn't currently one (and probably won't be untill 2.1 is out for the X10, I know I won't be doing anything major with ms and ts until the next version is available). You could do it with ninjamorph but you need to copy each file individually.

I pretty much just settle on a theme for a while and if I want a change then I connect my phone to my PC and run a batch to update the theme with adb.

Hope this clears things up, rather than confusing things :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
How hard would it be to change the Lag Fix to use a small 128Mb virtual RAM drive, rather than the internal SD?

this will solve the corruption seen often in many of the devices people have reported problem with during install, use, and dead internal SD, also avoid unnecessary partition changes which are usually the cause of some SD getting damaged in the process, and voiding the warranty.

in a way the RAM drive will work more very much like a swapspace/pagefile to cache the most recently used files and writing them back only if changes have been made

if it a new App that loads up needs more buffer/cache than it's available it'll write back all the stuff on the cache back to the physical SD to free up space for the new App being loaded.

Also apps that are too big for the 128MB RAM drive will be loaded directly into memory bypassing the RAM drive, and it will safe files directly back to Internal SD, the only times this are expected to happen are with Games, HD movies and such

this will keep the phone fast and responsive, meanwhile reducing the usage of the internal SD

ideally the size of the virtual RAM drive should be configurable to like 64 Mb, 128 Mb, 256 MB, or more (after froyo)

BTW... the goal of this is to help people getting into the situation of getting the internal SD corrupted
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanZA:
We already only have like 300mb ram total, with less than 200 free. With a 128mb ram drive, I don't think we'd have enough ram to really run more than 1 app! ;) Plus loading apps into and out of the ram drive would be pretty slow, I think? Managing how to load-unload apps from the ramdrive sounds very very difficult too. You'd modify the dalvik system I guess? Wow, I have no idea how! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
yes currently we only have a bit over 300 MB to use, and with a RAM drive it'll be even less, but once we move to Froyo we might be able to get full access to our 512 MB of RAM.

From PC experience even when you have little RAM (512MB Win9x, Win2000) a small RAM drive can still improve system performance drastically even when after mounting the RAM drive you have less RAM available.

Most apps in android even though they reside in memory they don't consume RAM/CPU cycle unless it's actively running in the background or foreground

this can be seen clearly in the stock Task Manager

so even though the amount of RAM is reduced, end users should theoretically be able to run several apps in memory and no experience any delay as only the active 3~5 tasks are swapping in the RAM drive then going back to idle.

in the old times Win9x/2K didn't have that, all the stuff kept running in the back-burner even when the software & services were idle, yet it still worked better with a RAM drive installed than working off the slow 5400 rpm hard drive swap (very similar to the problem with have with the RFS from Samsung vs. Ext2,3,4 FS from Linux)

the current methods that you are the other guys are using for the Lag Fix could work if we can tweak them some how to hold the space elsewhere (External SD), or as you said if we can add 2GB of RAM into the phone :p

this will give advantage to speed/cache buffer, and prevent wear on the External SD, and even if the External SD does dies, it can be easily replaced without having to send the phone back to Samsung to replace the internal SD.

I have Tasker set up to periodically record certain data to log files on my phone. Moving these log files to a PC/FTP Server/Etc is done easily enough manually, but I'm looking for an automated solution that works on a schedule without any manual intervention.

Have you looked at the SL4A plugin for tasker? You might be able to write a Ruby, Perl, etc script to do this and execute it on a schedule using tasker.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
Hi sl0wd0wn,

I have both the SL4A and Locale Execute plugins, but I am not an experienced coder. I wouldn't know where to start to write a script that uploaded a file somewhere.

My script writing knowledge is limited to little kid stuff: variable manipulation, if/then, etc. If someone can give me a relevant script, there's a good chance I could figure out how to adapt it to my needs, but I don't have the knowledge to start from scratch.

Thanks though
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:

FTP_USER=*****
FTP_PASS=*****
FTP_REMOTE_DIR=/

ftp -inv $FTP_HOST <<EOF
user $FTP_USER $FTP_PASS

put *****.log

quit
EOF
exit 0
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VCURamEngineer:
What you provided is an example of a linux shell script. You can still run it from s4la, but it's different from a perl/ruby script. It will work, but you have to be rooted. If you're rooted, take a look at the ftpput command in your system\xbin directory. Here's some documentation on the command. .

http://www.busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html

It looks fairly straightforward. The most difficult part will probably be dealing with file names
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
Awesome! Thanks so much for the help - perfect.

Of course I seem to have run into another speedbump... I have a working .sh script: it runs perfectly from within the SL4A GUI. But if I use the SL4A plug-in from Tasker to execute it, I get a Force Close from SL4A :mad:

Guess I'll have to keep experimenting.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
OK - instead of using the SL4A plugin in Tasker, I used the Execute plugin to run the sh file. Same thing, sure, but the latter solution doesn't cause Force Close (for whatever reason)

niiiiice
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
I don't know if the forum is acting up or my computer is acting up, but I got email notification of a reply that doesn't actually seem to be in this thread. Still, let me give an answer in case anyone else finds it useful...

Yes, indeed.

Your prediction that file names would be the biggest issue was correct. For some reason (which is probably common knowledge to others, but wasn't to me), commands behaved differently from the adb shell than from the SL4A shell.

From adb, I was able to simply type:

ftpput -v -u username -p password 11.22.33.44 ./remotedir /sdcard/localdir/file.log

and it worked properly. Running this same exact command from the SL4A shell (and/or script) resulted in complaints of the file/directory not being found. Changing to this format for the sh script worked, however:

cd sdcard
cd localdir
ftpput -v -u username -p password 11.22.33.44 file.log

Then, running this script worked from SL4A GUI, but caused Force Close issues when I tried to execute through Tasker's SL4A plug-in. Using the Locale Execute, plug-in, however, I was able to execute the sh file by using:

@! sh /sdcard/sl4a/scripts/MyScriptBlaBla.sh

Now Tasker just executes this on a regular schedule.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VCURamEngineer:
Awesome. Glad to hear you were able to figure it out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gronph:
Wow thats great! This is exactly what i am looking for a long _Time.

I am a noob in Tasker and programming ;)

Can you please explain how I can set this up?

Thank you very much!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
Sure, gladly. My described method may not be the most efficient, but it has worked perfectly for me.

You will need:

Tasker

SL4A and

Locale Execute

Go into SL4A and click Menu > Add > Shell

This will open a new .sh script for you to edit.

In the top window, type the name of the script (let's call it Synch.sh)

In the bottom part of the window, use the following code:

cd sdcard
cd localdir
ftpput -v -u username -p password 11.22.33.44 file.log

In case it's not apparent, replace "localdir" with the directory that contains the file, "username" should be the FTP username, "password" should be the FTP password, "11.22.33.44" should be the IP address of your FTP server, and "file.log" is the item you want to upload. Adjust the script as needed.

Now click Menu > Save & Run

Wait a minute or two, then check that your FTP server did indeed get the file. Assuming you typed everything correctly, your script should have worked.

Delete the file from your FTP server (so we can run another test later)

Now go into Tasker and create a new Task

Within the new Task, the action you want to add is under "Plugin" and should say "Execute"

When the Execute action comes up for configuration, hit the Edit button on it.

You will get a free text box in which you will want to type the following:

@ sh /sdcard/sl4a/scripts/Synch.sh

Now just click the back key to exit the text input box. Click "Done" on the Execute window, returning you to the Task itself. Now click "Test." Wait a minute or two and check your FTP server. The file should be there again.

Assuming everything worked out properly, you can now just choose how Tasker executes the Task. You could make it time based (every x hours, for example), or context based, etc.

It's worth noting that this method will overwrite the file if it already exists on the FTP server... so keep that in mind.

(There is also a SL4A plugin for Tasker that should theoretically be easier as you would just select which script you want it to run. I've encountered bugs and crashes with that plugin, however, which is why I choose to use the described Execute method above)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gronph:
Thank you!!!

But it is not working here...

When I click "Save and Run" nothing is transfered. Can I activate logging so that I can see what is going wrong? I saw a logfile in the sl4a Folder but it is empty

EDIT: I am still trying... seems to be my Webspace ;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
I'm not sure about logging.

Should have asked before, but are you rooted? And does your device have busybox installed?

Try this:

From SL4A, when you are just looking at the list of scripts that you have, drag your finger from the right side of the screen to the left. This should take you to a screen that says "Interpreters" up top. Click on "shell" which will open a terminal window. Now try typing the commands directly into the terminal (the same commands you put into that script). This should allow you visibility of what is happening. For example, below I've just opened the terminal window and typed "ftpput" without any parameters:
