No problem, you either have to install a new Taskbar and install the one you like most, or check in WinMo threads on how to change the existing icons.. I would stronly recommend the first option ;)

Two examples for Taskbars WinMo 6.5:

I have a problen with my widgets. Whenever i put a widget on my home screen at first everything is fine, then it stop updating. Is this a general problem or only with my phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] freakdahouse:
It's your phone, but in the end it's also android's problem. From what I see android has this kind of problems, things working well, and suddendly maybe because of another program several things start working bad.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcwatts:
Originally a tmobile G2 which i rooted because i got bored of waiting for them to release the update to 2.1 straight from htc.

I run launcher pro over the top of sense and all i want to know is, is it possible to have a custom boot animation. I no that it is possible with a custom rom but dont really want to do that am happy with the way it is.

ive tried adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/

but all that happens is it pushes the files over but the boot animation hasnt changed
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
So you're still on 1.5?

You need to find the current boot animation on the system partition and replace that. There are usually two locations and these are usually referenced in bootanimation topics.
[Captivate General] tbong777:
I have voice dialing over BT with 2.1. I am wondering why some are saying it is not there. Unless the wireless BT function in my car operates in a different manner. doesn't that use BT for voice dialing? That would have been a deal breaker for me if I could not dial over BT in the car/
[Captivate General] MarcianoS:
How do you use it? I'm interested! I have a cheap Jabra earpiece; with my old Nokia dumbphone I just pressed the button on the earpiece, and I would get an audio "prompt"; saying the name of the contact would trigger dialing.

Pushing the same button now does not seem to work with the Captivate.

And of course, I'm not the only one interested in your measurements and conclusions ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
This looks really awesome, I'm loving it! :D

As far as the kernel patch goes, though:

Does the same kernel patch work for both 2.1 and 2.2 kernels? They seem pretty different.

Instead of requiring a linux box to patch the kernel, do you see any problems with doing the actual patching on the stock device itself? I didn't see anything in the script that should make this too difficult.

At any rate, this looks like The Solution. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] OrionTC:
love the work all 3 of you are doing with the file system on the i9000!

awesome job.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] z4ziggy:
the patch is for the initscripts only - doesn't mind which kernel version. im doing my testings on Froyo 2.2 but patching should work the same on 2.1 scripts.

I hope to have some time later tonight to update the updater-script to follow all RFS partitions, and test it. ATM it works with my /cache partition only since its easy for testings (or "crashes" should i say? :confused: ).

i will update soon.

[edit]

regarding the linux part - no can do. We patch the initramfs scripts (which resides in the zImage), and i don't know of an easy way todo so from recovery mode. The easiest way is to use linux (even in a WM - you don't even need a full blown desktop, just CLI and compile tools) and patch the zImage, but i saw some Windows tools who might be able to do the same - I don't really know since i hardly use windows.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kalpik:
Thanks for your efforts! Keeping a close watch on this thread :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
That's what rooting your phone is for! ;) Just root the device, copy over all of the required binaries (arm statically linked if required, but busybox should handle 99% of what you're using in the script) and the kernel itself can be easily exacted using dd, of course.

Whole thing can be wrapped in a UI using java without too much hassle as well.

Most users aren't gonna be up to installing linux in a VM to run the script! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] z4ziggy:
just replacing those scripts on your system won't do. you need to patch the initramfs and flash zImage back.

repackaging zImage with a new initramfs is not that simple. I'm using kernel_repacker todo so.

im sure there must be a better way than kernel_repacker, but until then, this is what we use :)

and about the Linux usage - the user would probably never use z4build script. only the update.zip. Modders, ROM creators, etc, should use z4build (or similar method to add the appropriate "mount ext3..." command to the "mount rfs", as i showed in my blog) to allow their kernel to support ext3. Simply apply z4build on any rom's zImage, and it's users can now apply the update.zip to have this rom' work with ext3.

I hope this explanation is suffice.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Ah... kernel_repacker uses GCC. That would be pretty hard to port over to the SGS's stock kernel I guess. ;)

Guess you're right then - would have to be run externally to the device. Bit of a shame since it adds to the complexity of the whole thing, still. :(

This does make it nice and quick to patch up any kernel at all though, which should make it much easier to keep the kernel patching up with any leaked kernels that come out! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
looks like a very promising project! i liked voodoo but sadly we can not use it for 2.2 until we get the sources and it only converts the /data partition...

thanks for your work and i will be sure to check back here & on your blog soon :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
Did you manage to compile ext3 or ext4 support to Froyo kernels? I only found ext2 support in them. (At least in JPK)

Another thing I see that you mount the rfs file on the device, but for me it only got mounted as vfat, so the symlinks in /bin in factoryfs.rfs were gone. (I solved this issue by adding commands to the initramfs that restore these symlinks)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] z4ziggy:
ext3 is built into 2.2 kernel, i assumed the same for 2.1.

ext4 module will have to be rebuilt for each kernel, unless we build a standard kernel with ext4 support built-in, but all this will have to wait until samsung releases the sources.

[EDIT:]

Don't use the method which mounts the rfs files on the device. It uses ext2 and its obsolete already. I've only used the rfs mount on the device since it is the only way to have RFS readable as RFS and not as FAT. if your device mounted the RFS images as FAT, either:

1. you didnt use busybox mount

2. you might need to supply "-t rfs" to your mount command
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
I know ext4 is missing, but I couldn't even get ext3 to work on JPK. (ext2 works)

for the mounts:

1. I did use busybox mount (using toolbox mount I couldn't even mount it in vfat mode)

2. I did supply -t rfs, but it told me invalid parameter
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
Some additions:

When I try to mount factoryfs.rfs in rfs mode it won't work (invalid argument). in vfat mode it works, but no symlinks and other rfs stuff. I can also mount it in j4fs mode, where I get some files not available in vfat mode (like param.blk or charging.jpg), the strange thing is these files are actually the same as in /mnt/.lfs
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jimmy-bish:
There's an easier workaround for that.

Provide instructions to:

- Copy required files to USB stick

- Download Ubuntu Live CD

- Boot from CD

- Run scripts

If you wanted to get fancy it could be prepackaged into an existing bootable CD distro with the scripts included (checking for updates when they're launched).

From what I've read, Desire owners used bootable CDs to root their phones, so it's obviously a viable option for the standard user.

Alright, that's the extent of my expertise. I'll leave you guys to sort out the real issues now! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dirk1978:
I'm also very interested in this so subing myself to this thread.

I quite like the fact you Windows users have to use a Linux install to do it, I get a bit fed up having to find a Windows box somewhere to use Odin and Kies all the time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dirk1978:
Why? Surely the people wanting to do this kind of thing will be the more technical users anyway and us Linux users have to do the more difficult task of installing Windows in a VM to use the normal tools.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] z4ziggy:
my ct-ng seems to be broken, my binaries doesn't execute on my SGS for some reason, so this will have to wait for tomorrow so I can investigate this further.

I need to compile the mkfs.ext3 staticly (which seems to compile fine using several different toolchains, but none works) so i can execute it from z4mod/updater-script.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Not true at all! :D

I've had so much trouble with statically compiling stuff... ;)

We really need some kind of complete guide on all the ins and outs of statically compiling these system utilities. For a lot of them it doesnt seem to be all that straight forward...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ykkfive:
i've a question

i've tried to mount the partitions as ext2/3 before by replacing the rfs in init.rc and recomplied the kernel and pack the zimage, but the system wont boot. it seems it wont accept any other fs other than rfs, rootfs, etc. my init.rc looks like this:

mount ext2 /dev/block/stl9 /system

so how did u simply mount them as ext3 by just changing the init.rc and recompile the kernel?

EDIT: sorry, i just tried it again and it's ok now, but not with the "||" (or) in the middle

ok, i have lots or large high res backgrounds for my phone. all are jpgs. whenever i set them as backgrounds on the evo the image quality is severely degraded. its almost like changing from a 16mil color jpg to a 256 color bmp. whats the deal with this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Probably because the EVO isn't a 1080p device. It's 480x800. 960x800 is the resolution you should be using for wallpapers. Downsize them first on your computer using Photoshop or something similar, to preserve the quality as much as possible.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3project:
resizing the images to 960x800 and keeping the aspect ratio actually makes the images look worse. im thinking its more of a cm6 problem. it does not do this with any sense based rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
And I'm thinking it's an issue of one of your apps, or whatever app you're using to downsize, as nobody else has issues with wallpapers on CM6. ;)

Well Orb really isn't that bad. I had a hacked version of the Android client. I can't post a link or attach it because of this sites Warez policy. Since I'm 12 stepping off windows I deleted the Orb client since I don't need it. I'm sure many people here know the big warez sites and will have no issue finding it.

A few weeks ago Buy.com had some Pogoplugs for $49.99. I picked one up, I'd rather have it and usb drive up 24/7 then a desktop/nettop. The Pogoplug client isn't bad for streaming your audio. I can navigate all 100GB of audio, sort by artist or album name. It' not bad. For video it kind of suxs.

I find VLC server and the Android client are a little clunky and a pain.

first thank you very much for the XDAndroid version for HTC phones

I have HTC Touch HD >> Blackstone

I've successfully installed the XDAndroid in the phone but ..... its too slow ??

I have NITDroid version on my nokia N900 and it work very well ..

but when I start the XDAndoroid it seems the 3D acceleration is not working but the other functions works very well .. so any help

I tried to reinstall it with overclocked version is the setup but the same problem ???

so please help

and another thing

why the screen in XDAndroid looks soooooo pale compared with my N900 NITdroid screen ???????? is it ok ??

[Touch HD General] ho.angii:
have you gone into spare parts and enable windows animation and transition animations to fast? kinda helps.

I also found that once you first installed android on your phone (fresh installation) its kinda slow in the start but picks up.

Did you use the overclocked blackstone settings?

Also i think that because it reading from your sd card this can be the causation of it being a bit laggy. but when NAND/rom come out and it is able to boot from device instead this can help. so look forward for it to come out soon. devs are working on getting android to be stable and we shall see rom. currently fixing the battery display but i guess when they get the camera and the battery consumption down to business we shall see it.

[Touch HD General] andycted:
The hd processor has poor 3D capabilities by itself. On top of it you are working on an OS which runs on top of another OS and which was ported by a few enthusiasts without official support or drivers.

I'd say you can be happy with what it does and can't expect a lot more...

I also think that given the fact that you can play labyrinth 3D quite smoothly, 3D acceleration kind of works, otherwise it wouldn't do anything of the sort.
