[Epic 4G General] bitbang3r:
Well, if you're still wavering... the Epic's keyboard looks nice, but IMHO it was compromised into uselessness thanks to the flat keys with almost no space in between. The problem is that I can't use my thumbs to effortlessly type on it, because I keep hitting two or more keys. Had they compromised its appearance a bit by using keys that were 2/3 as wide and long (with the same center pitch), or significantly raised the keycap centers, it would be fine. Unfortunately, they didn't, so it's not. By the same token, holding it with my left hand and using my right index finger gets tiring quickly, and the phone wobbles due to the screen's weight if I try to type on the keyboard while the phone is laying on a table.

The keyboard design of the Epic just has me shaking my head wondering whether they even bothered to test its usability with real people before committing to the design, or whether they told their designers, "make it look pretty in pictures, and keep the profile low" and decided that actual usability didn't matter.

Sigh. I can't wait for 3D printers to become cheap enough to enable things like aftermarket retrofit parts for things like the Epic that come from the factory "not quite right" by design, but could probably be hacked into comfy usability if there were a cost-effective way to make custom plastic parts in small quantities. Then someone could just make a kit that let you disassemble the lower half of a stock Epic, then reassemble the circuit board in a new bottom enclosure that made the keyboard nicer to use, and maybe added a slide-latch to lock the slider closed for added solidity when it's stowed...
[Epic 4G General] icantdrawanime:
I owned an evo up till the epic came out. I switched because I worked on the processor inside the epic and wanted to own something that I helped to make.

I had a lot of reservations about switching. Chief among them was the support that Samsung would give the phone. I read the horror stories about the moment, but decided to jump in.

Well two updates in I'm gonna go ahead and say that the epic is already at a point where I am as happy with it as I was with my evo. It took 5 months to get my evo to a point where the battery life was acceptable and the phone was running smooth. As of yesterday, I've resolved my battery issues (clean install of the latest update and no restoration of original settings). All this while running 2.1. I'm giddy with excitement over what 2.2 could bring.

In my opinion, people that list touchwiz as a negative simply havent experienced it for themselves. I never liked HTC sense and always preferred ASOP. That said, once you replace the touchwiz launcher (which really is pretty crappy), you're left with things that touchwiz, in my opinion, does better than sense. For one, there are the shortcuts that allow you to toggle wifi, 4g, gps and bluetooth in the dropdown notification menu. This allows you to toggle these settings in any app without exiting to the home screen. Then theres the brightness slider on the notification bar that I use more times than I can count. When you get down to it, the only thing sense has going for it are the widgets. And the widgets can all be had, at a small cost, on the epic 4g via launcherpro plus and beautiful widgets.

The screen is amazing, the keyboard is more useful than I thought it would be. As is the hardware camera button. The only glaring defects are the GPS and the capacitive buttons. Now dont get me wrong, these two are pretty serious and potentially dealbreaking problems. But I have faith that the GPS can be fixed. And as far as the capacitive buttons go, I'm slowly getting used to them...

Thats my take, for what its worth. Good luck w/ your decision.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] crazyg0od33:
can anyone post up a themed version of the stock or new MIUI rom flashable 3G indicator, themed to match this (or both):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788214

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fllash:
Do you mean you're after:

A theme for MIUI which has the 3G icons from that theme

or

That theme with the MIUI 3G icons?

Josh.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] TheWizKid95:
I would like the 3g icon from that rom to flash over SkyRaider 3.2
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] crazyg0od33:
^Same^ but likt the one from the smooth blue theme that is a blue 3G indicator. Or JUST the stock HTC 3G indicator in blue if possible. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] worm-:
just pull it out of the framework and color it yourself, it's like 4 images
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] crazyg0od33:
How do I do this?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Contempt4You:
Funny. I was just going to post asking anyone if they had it in red. I would also like to know how to do it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] crazyg0od33:
I know. I really want it lol, because i kinda hate the 3G indicator in the theme i have currently, as it's hard to see the upload/download arrows, so i just wanted a flashable indicator so I dont lose the cool notification pulldown
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Contempt4You:
I can edit it with photoshop if I can find it. Can anyone give me a hint to the file path?

EDIT: Hah...ok I suck and fail.

I found the apk and edited the images. Looked great. Put the apk back together. Unistalled the original apk and tried to install my modified apk. Would not install. I'm done with it for now. I guess I will read up on signing tomorrow although I thought I had read that system apps didn't need to be signed.

I'll play with it more tomorrow.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] worm-:
do adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk

And the images should n in the drawable-hdpi. Folder if not just look around until u find the images

Then pull the framework from your current Rom and replace your images with the images you want then repush your framework hack to the phone and reboot
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] crazyg0od33:
If you figure it out can you pack a zip of just the 3g icon in blue as well for me?

Thanks man
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Contempt4You:
Thanks for the tips. With a little help from google, I was able to figure it out.

Which icon did you need exactly? The 3g toggle or the notification bar?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] TheWizKid95:
well, i did it and replaced some old icons with cooler looking ones, but the 3g icons (along with similar data icons) did not show up. all of the other ones showed up. also, i read a thread where this dude got 4g icons from another rom and installed them on his phone to make it look like he had 4g, but then hours later, he experienced loss of mobile data... and now i think i am too... any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Contempt4You:
I'm sorry I can't help you. I am learning all this myself and wouldn't pretend to know where to start on that. All I can say is that if you are going to make any changes then backup early and often.

The 3g toggle icons I was looking for were in system/app. I merely reskinned them and dropped them back in.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] crazyg0od33:
i wanted notification bar icon
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Contempt4You:
I'm running a theme and mine is already skinned. I think either way you would still have to adb push it onto your phone. I did some googling and took a crash course on changing system icons.

Once I figured it out, it made sense (i know that sounds stupid, but after i did it, I was like oh yeah I get it now). I know that's not a big help, but I'm new to this and wouldn't want to bork your phone. Maybe someone more knowledgable will come save the day.

Otherwise I would google in terms like editing apks and adb pull adb push etc. and maybe you will figure it out too.

Hell I can't wait to ruin my phone now that I am armed and dangerous =)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] crazyg0od33:
Lol, i actuallly finally figured out how to extract the png's, so i am going to edit in photoshop, then replace the current images with the app ninjamorph.

*didnt work* left a huge blank space on noti. bar and when I rebooted to see if it would show, I bootlooped*
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Contempt4You:
Well. I spent last night learning to resign edited apk files, so literally nothing on my phone is safe now. :D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] crazyg0od33:
Is there any way to pack the png's so that I can flash them or install as an apk?

Anyone know how I'd do this? I already have the edited png's.

Can I send any of you guys the folder with the icons and you can help me out with this?

Thanks again
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Contempt4You:
It seems the easiest way to change or theme icons is to not unzip them. Just open them with 7zip and make your changes, then close it. They will stay compressed and all of the info and size will remain intact.

Once changed you will have to resign the apk or zip file.

I spent the better part of 2 hours reading up on it using these forums and google, but I do not in any way feel knowledgable enough to instruct you on the finer points. There are oodles of topics on editing apk's and signing them when you are finished.

The steps seem pretty clear:

1. download or pull apk

2. open with 7zip

3. make changes keeping sizes and file names the same

4. close

5. re-sign the apk or zip file (most likely have to delete the existing files to the original signing which will be replaced with your own)

6. push or install the zip or apk (make sure the original app is uninstalled prior to reinstalling the changed app)

There are various methods and tools. The most helpful thread I found on signing is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=473580

I hope this covers it all and is helpful to you. I am new at it and can only tell you to backup everything and if you are unclear on any of it, then don't attempt it.

Read all the posts related to it. There is great info and plenty of feedback on known issues or mistakes others have had.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] crazyg0od33:
GOT IT!!!!!!

woot woot. all i had to do was put the theme.zip into my 7-zip archive, without extracting, then open the drawable-hdpi folder in com.htc.resources (all of this through 7-zip), and edit the .png's. When i then backed out to my main archive, 7-zip automatically updated the .apk, while keeping it as a .apk so I could flash the theme again. You can see the new themed 3g icon up top. I did this for 1X as well, so when im not in 3g, that's the same thing just for 1X.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Contempt4You:

I've been searching all around the phone, but i was unable to find the app associated with Google Latitute

i'm not using it, so i'll rather uninstall it to free up some space, but i can't find to figure out which one is the actual file that needs to be uninstalled in Titatium Backup
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Frostshock:
I am 99% sure that that's just Google Maps. Maps has several icons in the app drawer that are shortcuts to different parts.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Arkymedes:
True. The icons are shortcuts for the different sections of google maps. Depending of the launcher, you can hide the icons like when using LauncherPro.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bootx1:
Pretty certain it's just an option of Google Maps too. Go in to maps, click little 'page like' icon in bottom left, which should bring up Latitude, now bottom left hard key and select Privacy - should be the option to 'Sign out of Latitude'.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Hi everyone,

Perhaps this is a dumb question but with all of the great developers here at xda... Is it possible to develop a way to install apps to the external sd card for 2.1 eclair?

I see all kinds of wonderful developments for things like lagfix and color fix, etc so I wonder if someone knows of a way to do this?

I upgraded to the SGS from the Omnia i910 with WM 6.1 and this was a standard feature of the device so why not for the SGS and android 2.1?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i'm sure it can be done

they did it back then for the 1.5 and 1.6 androids

that's how they decided to make it a standard feature in 2.2
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Hmmm... With that being said, I am very suprised that it has not been done yet.

This is the biggest feature I am waiting for with froyo with the exception of a possible gps fix and proper lag fix as well.

Hmmm... Any devs here interested in giving this a go? Something even as simple as downloading the apps to the internal card but atleast then being able to move them to the external card and have them work as they should, etc...

[Android Apps and Games] carguy88:
This probably has more to do with the fact that Angry Birds just got onto Android, and this list is "most downloaded" apps. We don't know how far back they're counting from, and since I downloaded almost all of these apps long before Angry Birds was available, it's likely that AB just hasn't caught up yet. Also, AB was only available off the market at first, which would lower their numbers in this list. It's in the market now, but still not for all phones.

Angry Birds is certainly "hotter" right now, but it just hasn't been downloaded more than these.
