as long as you are rooted and have purchased titanium backup you can do whatever you want really. i would also purchase root explorer. also make sure you are renaming files to .bak or .old or whatever your choice may be that way if you mess something up you can just restore it and not go online to forums and say hey does anyone have the blockbuster apk file (just an example)? you can use the wireless tether as well it works great if you are in the car with your pc or some other place not offering wireless. also when you download and install rom manager, go to the market and download the droid x bootstrapper and install the clockwork recovery. you must have both bootstrapper and rom manager to easily and quickly install clockwork from rom manager. so you spend about 10 or so dollars and you can do whatever you want to your phone for the most part. also another way to not brick your phone would be to make a post here in the forums if youre thinking about doing something crazy or unorthodox. other then that enjoy the phone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Joshr:
Is it possible to make the screen rotation happen any faster? Using an accelerometer app to view the sensors values, it looks like the values for a rotated screen are produced pretty quickly after a screen rotation takes place. Could the process responsible for detecting this change increase the sample rate of the accelerometer values, resulting in a faster response? Or is the pause due to error prevention, to help eliminate false rotations?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AndreXX:
I would like to bring this back to the top, as it is a valid concern for me, as well. There is a full 1.5-second delay for switching orientation. Far too slow.

Thank you,

Hi,

I just asked this same question in another thread yesterday so I would also like to know. I'm using a Huawei u8100 running android 2.1.

Thanks!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] gilrad:
Since upgrading to 2.1 all I have been rocking is the Nexus live wallpaper. I have tried plenty others, but they either dont play well with orientation switching in ADW or they seriously eat up battery power. In fact, most wallpapers that I have downloaded tend to get my Streak a little warm just from sitting at the home screen for a minute or two.

So for those rocking 2.1, what live wallpapers have you found to work great?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] spences10:
I just use the nexus wall paper, there are a couple others i use galactic core recommended from another thread i think along with silhouette

Both really nice, and not heavy on the battery at all
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] spences10:
Oh and flying toasters is a good one too, not sure abt the battery useage on that one tho
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] cue_32:
City at Night is amazing on the Dell Streak...

I also use the Thunderstorm live wallpaper but it seems pixelated... but not too bad
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] lilkarl71:
Try the Droid X ADW theme. Looks great on Streak!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timurinamanu:
Hallo everyone!

I am new to this board and i have a few questions.

I recently bought a Samsung i5800 with android 2.1. Unfortunately i have problems with the pin requesting (i read in forum, that this is a known issue, my provider seems to use a modified firmware, that causes the problems).

So i want to update my mobile because people in forums say, that this is fixed by updating to samsung original 2.1 or 2.2

However I read, that I should make a backup, before I do so.

So please can you give me instructions how I should start(with links)?

And do I need to root my phone? to do upgrading or to install an official firmware?

And how do I unlock my mobile for all sim cards?(In my Country Austria it's absolutely legal to unlock the sim card).

And shall i first root it and then upgrade or upgrade and root it?

And how do i do a backup without rooting?(I want to have this current system as backup, for warranty issues).

If possible, i want to do an upgrade without rooting.

Thanks for the answeres.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timurinamanu:
ok

I began with downloadin odin a.s.o

now i just noticed, that the download mode (vol- + home+ power when you turn the mobile off) is not working...

I bought my mobile 2 weeks ago from telering.

Is there a way to enable this download mode?(maybe as root?)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timurinamanu:
ok

now i rootet it, however i have the problem, that i cannot back it up

i tried clockwork recovery... with rom manager

I go to recover system, then it reboots and then i come to the recovery menu but there is no option for recovery...

is there any other way to recover a samsung galaxy 3 i5800?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] choffy21:
I was wondering if there is a way to reverse icon colors in the status bar. I just downloaded a black status bar and a lot of the icons blend into the black bar (if that makes sense).

If anyone can help me out, thanks. I don't know anything at all about coding and very little about the root process, so a Metamorph option would be the easiest way for me, although I can figure out theming.

Maybe you like those...http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...tatusbar-icons/page__view__findpost__p__33425
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] choffy21:
I saw those. I wasn't quite sure if it changes the Messaging, Gmail, Voice and other icons since all I see is the USB and USB Tethering icons. Do you know if those are changed?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Haven´t checked that...best, open file and have a look before you morph.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] choffy21:
Wow that is a great idea. I never thought of that haha (still brand new to this stuff). Well, unfortunately it doesn't have icons for Messaging, Gmail and a few others. Thanks for the idea though. Now I know I can check.

Any other ideas?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] choffy21:
Shameless bump because I really want this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djdarkknight96:
There is a desire morph around somewhere, locate the files or images you want and I can make a morph, just need to know what rom and icons.

Also bumping. Now that CM has theming, I think someone should have one out.

Use ninja morph and inverse the images u want in framework-res.apk ...really easy
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tr.slate:
Made this one a while back...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=766561
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unknownrebelx:
I checked out ninja morph. You're right, it does exactly what you said...EXCEPT you have to modify every icon individually, which ends up being an enormous pain.

Also, I could have missed something but how do you inverse icons directly on the phone? I looked around and still couldnt find anything. Ended up transfering them to the pc and editing them from there.

In the end, I'm just amazed that android doesn't have a unified icon / theming system yet. To edit messages, you have to go in to mms.apk (took me forever to figure that one out), to edit gmail you have to look in gmail.apk, system icons were in framework, etc. What a pain.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
Finally it's done :)

The script...

Should work for every firmware.

Requirements:

Java (JDK) on a windows pc

rooted device, busybox, ClockworkMod Recovery

How to use:

Download zip file and extract.

Start Script.bat and follow the steps described.

If you have a odexed rom your launcher will be deodexed automatically :)

I used parts of this script for deodexing

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=598026

Make sure that you have installed (and selected as default) another Launcher (e.g. LauncherPro or ADW) while flashing, otherwise the Launcher won't work.

If someone has an explanation for this, give me a hint :)

Known issues

It's not possible to deactivate landscape mode. Even with auto-rotation off, TWLauncher will still get in landscape mode. (thx Daneshm90)

Your homescreens will be resetted. Solution:

Backup this file manually

/dbdata/databases/com.sec.android.app.twlauncher/launcher.db

and put it back in place after you flashed the modified launcher.

Once you put your Widgets back on screen they should have the same settings as before.

It may happen that the first flash won't work (even with an alternative launcher installed). If that happens, restore the original launcher and retry again. Another thing I don't have an explantion for...

Download

TWModder.zip

The script has been tested only on a few devices up to now, so please use it at your own risk.

No problems detetcted though.

Thx to Daneshm90 for helping with the script.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Old files

These files were made with TWLauncher from JPK.

Install them using Recovery 2e (rename file to update.zip if necessary)

Download

update.zip

If you like to change your default screen, get one of these

update.zip_default_screen_2

update.zip_default_screen_3

update.zip_deafult_screen_4

Use this file for flashing the original TWLauncher

update.zip_restore

Rename in update.zip and flash through recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skiddhard:
Hello. This certainly seems very interesting indeed. Could you explain a little further what you mean by the options to change the default screen? Perhaps posting screenshots would better help understanding the available screen options that you are giving as "update.zip_default_screen_2" and so on..... :confused:

Cheers....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
If you press the HOME-button using TWLauncher it always gets you back to screen 1 (on the very left).

With this one

update.zip_default_screen_2

it takes you back to screen 2

...

One thing:

Using the TWLauncher with default screen 4, please do not use less than 4 screens!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _JKay_:
update.zip link does not work
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PlanetJumble:
Nice! I always wanted that. I even noticed it somehow gets activated by accident - like when I open a folder from Folder Organizer while holding it sideways, the icons in the back (and certain popups) are in landscape orientation.

Is this mod possible on JM8?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skiddhard:
Oh. Brilliant. Thanks for that....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
Sorry for that.

Fixed.

Sure.

If I can get a deodexed TouchWiz30Launcher.apk from JM8...

Upload the file and I'll make it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] exadeci:
There is an app for that :P SGS screen changer
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appelflap:
Great work. Question do you have a deodexed dialer from JPK? I like to mod the dialer to work with the density tweak.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] quaff:
Could you do this for Portrait mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
Yes.

I can upload it this evening (or maybe tomorrow).

Just use the files I posted. It also works in portrait mode...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appelflap:
Great... Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _JKay_:
Maybe it would be better just to move the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk and TouchWiz30Launcher.odex to some .bak files.

Note: The homescreens are all reset!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
Did you do that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
Widgets should appear with the same settings as before once put on the homescreen.

Or you can backup this file manually

/dbdata/databases/com.sec.android.app.twlauncher/launcher.db

and put it back in place after flashing the modified launcher.

Will add that in the first post...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jollyz:
I can also confirm that update.zip_deafult_screen_4 doesn't work on my JPK rooted, the phone go to a black screen, i can only open to the notification windows but nothing else.

Can i revert to normal touchwiz? Is there an update.zip with jpk standard TW?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jollyz:
Sorry, my mistake! i haven't read all the post, i have found the original TW file and the info about other home launcher to configure. tnx anyway for your work ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jollyz:
Work's Perfectly now, and the transition is fast, also in application menu! That's what i'm looking for! Thank's a lot you are great ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _JKay_:
Yeah, I got it running now aswell. Is it a modified version of the JPK launcher or from the old sourcecode?

Will it also work on the new XXJPO firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hey OP,

For this issue :

You try setting orientation in the manifest to "user" instead of "sensor" ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
OK, that's the difference between someone who knows what to do (you) and someone who has no plan (me) :)

I would love an explanation of what was modified, I'm hoping this can be brought back to 2.1 ROMs.

I'll try looking through the files manually, but a point toward the right direction would be great :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
It's quite simple...

You have to edit one field in AndroidManifest.xml, that's it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PlanetJumble:
Sorry if this is too lazy, but isn't that file included in Doc's RomMod V5 Full, JM8 Edition? (can't verify from here right now)

If it is, please make a JM8 Version, I guess this is still quite a popular ROM (as far as I am concerned, you can skip BOJI1 since that is mainly based on older stuff than JM8).

Thanks OP, works great.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andreas_k:
yesterday I split Your mod, and also I have problem with one app (it's not visible in market - call informer). I do factory reset (two times, from settings and also from recovery) and after that phone boot up but with black screen - I see a notification bar, I can start task manager (long press home button) but I see only black screen.

Even when I connect to pc, phone is not visible to pc (on phone pop up message - close all apps to start usb connection...

I must to use again odin (and lost everything.)...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
I'm sorry for that.

What do you mean with "split your mod"? (Sorry, I'm not that good with my english learned in school)

For me, call informer is still visible in the market.

What firmware are you on?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
anyone have a de-odexed ugjh2 one so we can get this mod on that f/w thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andreas_k:
not split only install (swype) :)

I use jpk, but now i comming back to jph, because i buy Call informer on jph (i use market enabler), yesterday i install jpk and Call informer is not vissible for me (on market and also on downloaded apps)...

Update: I install jph and Call informer shows in Downloaded apps, I install it without problems (even without market enabler) :)... Weird

EDIT: it's possible to auto rotate phone app?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
I can't do all these mods (JM8, JM6, JH2...) on my own.

What I did:

Get a deodexed TouchWiz30Launcher.apk and decompile with apkmanager.

In AndroidManifest.xml (search and) change ScreenOrientation from "nosensor" to "user".

For changing the default screen you have to edit

/res/layout-land/launcher.xml

/res/layout-port/launcher.xml

Search and change DefaultScreen the way you like (0=screen 1, 1=screen 2,...)

Save changes

Compile with apkmananger.

That's all I did.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PlanetJumble:
Compile it only, no signing? And what about the options on compiling? I did the copy untouched files thing, strangely complicated process. And in the End, the new APK is quite a bit smaller, should I reduce compression level (defaults to 9)? Also it is reported to be a few bytes larger uncompressed, don't have a good feeling flashing this.

If I would flash it, how would I do that? Just replace the Launcher APK in your update package and run it on JM8?

Sorry for all those questions, I am a technical person, but I don't want to screw up my phone. And I wanted landscape in the launcher from the very beginning. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ADeadlySpoon:
I love the idea of changing the default homescreen as all other mods I've tried, failed.

Does applying this mod wipe the homescreens? If so how do I back them up? :)

Thanks,

Luke.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
1. post

My way using apkmanager 4.9

Decompile apk

Compression level is set to default (9)

Make your changes in AndroidManifest.xml and launcher.xml

Compile apk (confirm two questions with yes and follow the steps described)

Take the new apk (named unsigned...), rename to TouchWiz30Launcher.apk and replace the file in my update.zip.

If you can flash unsigned zips, that's it, otherwise try this one

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717437

Be sure you have installed another launcher (and selected as default) when you flash your modified version.

And be sure to have an update.zip for restoring the original launcher (that might be very useful :)).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
or the update.zip to boot into rom manager to restore that way..

now if only i could find an de-odexed one for jh2

hi,

i've got a question just to be sure.

I'm currentley on JPK and rooted and with the OCLF with the app Mount /systems r/w and i flashed an update.zip for the original android lockscreen. So my question is can i flash another update.zip without problems?

and can there be any problems with the lagfix i use?

and why do i have to use launcher pro before applying the lagfix?

many thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
Yes.

Don't think so.

That's a very good question. :)

BTW, it's not a lagfix...

I don't know why, but when you don't use another launcher it is very likely that the modified launcher won't work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jurguh87:
thanks for the quick reply,

and i'm definitely gonna try this one out

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jurguh87:
hi,

I used the update.screen3.zip and flasht it trough recovery but when the phone rebooted i was still on launcherpro so i deleted launcherpro and now i only have a black screen and i cant go to the TWlauncher any one an idee??

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
Flash the original launcher by using the update.zip from the 1. post...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jurguh87:
ok I'll do that but how can i get your mod TWlauncher cause it looks kinda nice
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
Just try it again :)

I posted this mod in another forum and there has been the same problem too.

The second flash worked...

Maybe I'll add that in the 1. post...

Now, just to be clear:

Restore original launcher, install LauncherPro once again and reflash my mod. That should work (hopefully).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jurguh87:
ok thanks,

gonna try it let you know
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jurguh87:
Hey man,

I used the normal update.zip and it worked so after that i used the screen 3 update.zip and now it works like a charm thank you very much!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
Glad to hear it works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yo OP, u could easily create a batch script that could :

1. Pull twlauncher from phone

2. Decompile (apktool)

3. Manipulate the xml's based on user input

4. Recompile

5. Push to phone

This way user chooses his default screen, landscape and u don't have to keep manipulating twlauncher from each new firmware revision ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
Define easily :)

But you're right, I will try this.

Sounds not very hard to do...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Not very hard at all.

Work with

"adb pull/push"

"apktool d/b"

Find a command line text replacement tool. (Perhaps something like rep.exe which i used for my "Custom Lwp" script)

This "Swype skin replacer script" should help. Link

I'll b busy till 2moro so won't have time, if ur not done/started by then i'll take up the project.

One more thing, put in a check for .odex, if it exists abort the script and tell user to deodex first.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
Because I'm not very familiar with scripts, it will take me days to get this working :)

Besides, my family won't be happy at all...

If you really want to take up this project, please do.

Thx!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Lol k, should b fun. Expect in a day or two.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
you're forgetting on pretty much all roms the twlauncher is odex so you cannot just pull and modify you have to de-odex first.. which is not trivial.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Script will abort if odex exists n ask user to deodex before proceeding.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
@Daneshm90

Just thought about it the last hours.

Can I use apktool by just putting the apktool.jar in the working folder or do I have to install it in a way?

If I only needed the apktool.jar it would be really quite simple to do...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yup,

U just need apktool.jar (adb if ur pulling/pushing from/to phone)

Hence i said, very simple ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scheichuwe:
OK...

Have got any idea. Must to flash again with odin.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ykkfive:
perhaps u r luckier than me

no matter how i installed the mod or change the xml myself, the phone booted without twlauncher running
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
U can always check the log to see why.

Perhaps u made a manifest change while core was running hence it detected an invalid digest and shut the launcher off.
