Edit : Ouch, I was wondering where this comment went. This was supposed to go to the touch pal Dialer threat.

Anyway, since I'm here, what the heck. I'm using Xscope right now. Its interface is a lot better than others and it has pin to zoom which is the closet thing we get to one touch zoom in the album. But I'm also keeping skyfire around to fire up its video capability if I ever need to.

It depends on each persons personal needs. Nothing wrong in the stock browser , SE has done quite well in bringing out the best from donut
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] spence91:
Can you even cut and paste in the stock browser?

I like the stock browser but there's just a few little annoying things that forces me to use other browsers from time to time.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] siddharthsai:
If its something that I wanna cut&paste then ill use either my desktop or my other phone ! Browsing is not very easy thing on the mini's even if you have a different browser. Just not worth it. Screen size kills user experience

[Android Themes] JeroenGijselaar:
Hi everybody!!

Before I tell you my question I want to say that I'm totally new to Android and ofcourse theming it.

This morning I was trying to modify the GenieWidget.apk to make the background transparant. After reading a few topics I was able to change the background. But now I'm a bit stuck...

My question is, is it possible to change the widgets alignment? The GenieWidget is normally on the left of the screen (the content) and what I want is to center the content of the Weather part of this widget. So the weather has to be on the center of te screen... (the whole widget has to be centered...)

Is that possible? I attached my GenieWidget.apk

Kind regards,

Stylooo
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Good question.

(BUMP)

- You could always resize the widget with LauncherPro Plus. But that doesn't really fix the 'problem'.
[Android Themes] JeroenGijselaar:
That won't work like you said. What I need is just a few padding at the left of the widget... And my guess you have to edit a .XML file, but I don't know how to edit them.
[Android Themes] rori~:
I guess, yes, it´s possible...if you edit the values in the right xml.file.
[Android Themes] JeroenGijselaar:
Okay but how do you edit the files? The xml files in the apk's are not standard xml files right?
[Android Themes] okolowicz:
Do a search of these forums for APKManager. It is a really fantastic script/tool that consolidates and utilizes a number of other useful tools created by XDA members.

Specifically, it will decompile the apk you want to modify (GenieWidget) and convert the XMLs into a format you can view and edit as you would any other XML. And, once you are finished your changes it will recompile the apk, converting the xmls back into the otherwise unreadable format, and even sign and install if needed.

It is probably the most useful tool I've yet to come across.
[Android Themes] Emama:
I am looking for the latest version of the transparent or no baxkground geniewidget for my Samsung vibrant as i am using the version 1.17 rc6

I tried to install the one in the first post but it said cannot be installed

Why? It is only for nexus one?

And anyone know what is the latest version of it?

Thanks all
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
You have to uninstall the one you have on your phone before installing the 'newer version' (Excuse my lolz).

If not you can push it through adb. Works aswell.
[Android Themes] djphillie:
is it not possible to install geniewidget with a transparent background on a non-rooted phone??

I can use calwidget with a transparent background, battstatt with a transparent background and tajm with a transparent background.

is there no crisp looking weather widget with options for a transparent background or resizable features???
[Android Themes] Emama:
Uninstalled but doesn't help

Actually is my version the latest?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
There's no "newer" version.

People modify widgets to their liking.

You need basic ADB knowledge to replace applications on your phone.

1) Get the Android SDK

2) Install it to C:\ and rename the folder Android

3) ADB-debugging on your phone = YES

4) Start CMD and type cd C:\android\tools

5) Type adb devices (See your device?)

6) Type adb remount (Read/Write privliges)

7) Type adb pull system/app app (Makes a new folder in /tools named app)

8) Put your GenieWidget in the App-folder, overwrite the old one

9) Type adb push app system/app

Done.

Awesome, Seems no lagfix will be required.

Dident notice any difference from JPH

Will edit tomorrow after playing thoroughly! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cyq1857:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rickstur:
It says it already is in R/W
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vlad88:
when any rom just install it did not need lagfix, but later yes :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stuclark:
It seems much better than JPH (which was unusually bad) - quite close to the performance I was getting with JP4, but slightly better.

I haven't applied any lag fix yet as it doesn't really seem necessary on these ROMS, but I'm going to give that a go later.

One word of warning though, JPH, JP4 and now JPK all hate corruption in user databases. If you're getting FCs / massive delays at startup, this is what will be causing it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cyq1857:
then ,it cannot do any custom changes.it is really inconvenience

One bug i found. Cant switch language from english to swedish. Every time i restart the device it reset to english language.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] r3loaded2010:
I'm able to delete apps from /system/app just fine... (using ADB)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pbruck:
Me too :(

The Device is rooted, i get access with rootExplorer and can delete any App from system/apps but everything appears again immediately.

I wanted to uninstall the crappy Voice Dialer App. Because it is absolutely bad if i use my Helmet Headset on Bike and my BT Handsfree.

Voice Dialer starts and recognize NOTHING right. Even if i try to speek english.

In comparison. Voice Dialler on my Blackberry Bold 9700 works absolutely great and recognize also if i speek German. And it tells me who he dial before he do it.

Voice Dialler on Galaxy calls any Number (and in nearly 100% of trys the wrong) without any comment.

And.

Once again.

Since the first releases of Froy Samsung has broken the connection between Google Sync and third Party Apps. Specially Calendar Apps.

So also in this release.

All Tasks that are created with third Party Apps (Jorte, TouchCl .... ) Appears in Calendar on Device and ar dedicated to the right Google Calendar on Device. But not synced with Google.

After open, editing or new saving with Stock Calendar it will be synced.

This belongs to ALL Cal Apps i have tested!!!!!!!!

Absolutely bad (for me):eek: :eek: :mad:

With Lagfix: 1860
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] captive:
To keep this post useful try to specify ALWAYS what you flashed (odin version, pit verison, etc) and how you rooted the phone.

Moreover, report if you installed any other app, or had to restore nv_data, or made any other modification to stock system.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ewok666:
Lagfix is an absolute MUST. Anyone with more than 50 apps will need one sooner rather than later. Don't believe any clowns telling you otherwise. RFS is here to stay and RFS is nowhere near as good as ext4. The sooner Voodoo can get ported to Froyo the better!

Product code changed and the backup of the nv_data.bin is crap. Restoring it resulted in a corrupt imei! Needless to say I have multiple offline copies of the EFS files for this....

GPS is complete and total crap. While it does lock to many satellites and it does lock quickly it seems to have this nasty feature where it just 'assumes' where you are going to the point where if you stop abruptly it keeps on going. I also misses sharp turns etc. While you are going in a straight line it is almost spot on but I assume it outright 'lies' about the position in an effort to hide the lag. How else could one explain the other symptoms?

Generally JPK is usable but still very beta in a few places. I sure hope GPS goes back to what it is in JM8. I ran a few tracks with JM8 and it is almost always spot on and without any errors.

For those that have the issue: to edit things in /system it must be remounted rw......
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vlad88:
Database and File system still very slow, quadrant score 992
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stuclark:
Oh, forgot to add:

GPS performance in JPK is much better for me than it was in JPC or JPH :)

Today I again the the problem with the unresponsive lock screen. The phone was connected to Kies when an incoming call arrived. I missed the call, and when I tried to call back the number I was unable to get the phone out of lock screen. The screen was completely black, the touch-keys were responding with the usual buzz, and the riht hand side button was active but it only offered the four usual options, including switch-off.

However , I was unable to pull out the "Swype to either direction to unlock the screen" type message.

I had to switch off and reboot the phone to be able to initiate calls again.

In the end this version gave me weird problems and some serious lags. I wait until there is a mature versin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
I think it weird that many has problem. Its not logic. After i put the lagfix on it i did say not how had any problem. No lag. No weird thinks. Gps works fine. I think many times i must got me a super phone.

My question is why its so different on different phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Some people do some very very strange stuff with their phones. I've noticed it on some of the questions I get. There are also a lot of different types of SGS, not just the I9000. Some people will also treat an issue like video's having a slightly different shade of green as the end of the world. Don't worry about it too much if it works on your phone, it works fine on mine too. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheNikkoMan:
Never happened to me, after reboot everything is just the same as it was before rebooting.

I think that jpk is better or the same as jph (the only two firmwares I have tried). Yes, the gps uses five minutes to find my position, but when it does, it updates it every second, compared to jph which just updated it every ten seconds.I haven't noticed any other lags, bugs or anything. Will keep using it :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] flypubec:
I have problem with exchange sync when having more than 500 contacts.

It seems that only about 300 contacts are synced and the rest is not.

There is also strange bug in the contact list, which always jumps to letter A when scroling contacts in the bottom of the alphabetical list.

FROM JPH 2nd hand phone

Hi guys, i bought my SGS some days ago, with already installed JPF rom, iv read around the faqs, so now my question is:

What i need to do before to try this K revision, iv understand that i must backup all using titanium, im a bit in confusion for the product code, what and how to backup it?

Thnx
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Backup the efs folder and do a backup of your apn setting.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rickstur:
Okay my steps:

- Flashed with odin 512 pit and no repartition (could this be it?)

- Rooted with the JPK root following exact rules

- Reinstalled all my stuff with Titanium
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rickstur:
Please give us some intell how to
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Frostfree:
Quadrant score seems a bit of a red herring IMO, however I only have about 30 apps, so maybe it's required if you install a lot more. I didn't feel the need for a lag fix on JPH either.

No noticeable improvements over JPH, GPS still inaccurate and bluetooth still FC's connecting to my car.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] captive:
I'd try to do it with repartition on, root with Aery package, and try if you can write on /system before restoring any application, just to be sure.

If you are root and /system is rw there should be no reason you cant write on it..

@vlad: can you make a list of known bugs and keep original post updated?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
yes same here...

in adb shell

su -

Seems fine,

I like flash 10.1, new design, task manager.

I dont like slow browsing, small lags sometimes.

I think I ll use it until the end of the week and maybe go back to JM8+voodoo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] divaboy:
I seem to be getting a few FCs and huge delays between loading different apps up etc. Did the usual stuff witht he cache etc etc. seemed to help for a day or so now its gone back to lagging like hell.

Got the lagfix and rooted , whats best way to correct or fix currupt user databases ? And what sort of data does it hold?

Be grateful if you could take 5 mins to explain.

Many thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pbruck:
OK.

So far, so bad.

I also like the new features and possibilities of Froyo.

But.

I want to WORK with my Galaxy.

Not only Gaming.

And due to this i go back to JM8.

A lot of bugs (see my posts before) preventing me to use this Phone as i want.

JM( is (for me) until now the most reliable and useful Version of OS for the Galaxy.

I will still give a try to future Releases. But XXJPK is gone for me.

Good for playing around. But bad for working. :cool: :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dutchcow:
Flashed with Odin and 803 pit, got some error at first boot and was stuck in the recovery menu, did a factory reset, rebooted, rooted and applied one click lagfix. All seems ok. Restored backup with titanium without a hitch. Even market links are restored properly. Score in Quadrant is around 1800. Not bad. I wonder if this is the final.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stuclark:
The way I found out about this bug was 2 fold:

1) Phone would not always boot correctly, displaying a blank screen after the S animation

2) Contacts / Messaging took an age to load

I then found that my contacts database was corrupt. If I tried restoring it using TitaniumBackup I would end up with NO contacts showing. If I tried to import from my CSV backup NO contacts would show. If I used m:IQ to sync, NO contacts would be shown.

However, if I did a factory reset, then used the CSV backup, contacts re-appeared. (if I restored from TitaniumBackup, the corruption was restored too)

I also found that while my email accounts would restore; all mailboxes were empty, and accessing an account would FC the mail application. (deleting and recreating the accounts was fine)

So, in essence, I think it's fairly safe to restore apps with Titanium Backup (when moving between firmware revisions), but try to avoid restoring contacts / messages etc. If you can get these back by other methods (m:IQ for example), that seems to work better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rickstur:
Solved:

I rerooted with the CF-Root v1.1 JPH version and sofar everthing is working fine I can acces the /system (and edit) without any problems
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
A VERY big bug is kswapd0, takes loads of cpu...

What can be the source to this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prankey:
m:IQ seemed to me a SPAM! "Call Logs Backup & Restore" and "SMS Backup & Restore" are the best and NEVER gave any trouble.

For Contacts, Google contact sync and Import/Export to SD are the best.

Above observation is valid for all the firmwares I have tried till date (almost all beta, released 2.1/2.2 including "alpha" JP2/JP3).

JPC and above works great for me (barring GPS accuracy and slight lag issues). They are getting better with every release.

I've noticed Internet browser bug. Closed with vibration the first time I used it via EDGE :rolleyes:

Edit: Actually it does it all the time. The browser is too buggy on my phone!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aeo087:
I've been using this firmware for about 12 hours. Initially as any other clean rom it was very snappy and I was very impressed with the speed at which the market installed apps. Once I installed ~50 apps the phone crippled and got very unresponsive... At that point I rooted, got autokiller, and installed RyanZa's OCLF V2. I've used Flash 10.1, IMAP email, and tons of apps and have yet to see any FC's, it has however gotten very slow and unresponsive. Overall i'm very happy with this firmware, it is by no means flawless and I'd like to see a much better performance increase over Eclair, so far it is barely at the level of performance of JM8 if not less, the good thing is the new features make up for it. JPK works great and I'm going to keep it as my daily driver for now. With the lag-fix and Autokiller this firmware works very well.

Noticeable changes from Eclair (I never used JPH or JPC):

-Faster IMAP email

-Text selection while typing is now awesome!

-Text selection in the browser is awesome!

-Contacts search bar stays and google contact groups are now available.

-Touchwiz now has the leap feature for both app drawer and homescreens

-Touchwiz messaging app icon now displays unread count. (maybe call button too?)

-Bug: Text reflow doensn't work well on the browser

-Settings are reorganized and colored

-Samsung Keypad now has voice button and is much improved...

-Modified recent apps menu with only 6 recent apps...

-Dialer has a button to send sms to a number

-All the new FroYo features we love...

-Bug: /system/ folder is all read-only for some reason (has to do with 803 pit file)?

Walking is one thing driving another. I find it extremely useless while driving as it seems to be 'looking ahead' a tad too much.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Joghurtbecher:
That dog shure likes to swim a lot...

That looking ahead is something I noticed too. I recorded my way home under JM8 and JPH and JPH is much more prone to smooth your trajectory. When I drive on a straight motorway, all is well but when there is a curve, the SGS doesn't belive that I'm changing direction at 70kp/h and starts to guess my position wrong. Both releases do that, but JPH is much more resilient towards changing my projected direction. I hope that gets sortet out!
