I just stumbled over this.... is it for real?

WAS with all the functionality will be ported over to Android? This will be the killer app taking all other launchers / home screen apps out of biz.

I am here to betatest!

Hopefully you can get the HTC Sense Widgets to work as well at least on HTC devices where this should not be a violation of copyright laws. I will gladly offer to borrow you a european HTC Desire for testing purposes if that is of any help.

I second your notiong of requiring a script language, but of course it would take one that is not laid out for programmers but also still understandable for regular designers. Search around here in the Forum for SlickUI and KiteUI, both which are still deep in the "maybe wel will do this stage" for some decent ideas on how people imagine their ideal design, and therefore gfgiving you an idea how much flexibility your framework needs.

Things that should really be in the to-do-list: radial icon menus. That means you assign say 6-8 icons to a WAD icon placed on the homescreen, upon tapping this the home screen blurs and the assigned icons circle around the pushed icon. This is a terrific way to organize similar apps IMO, much better looking than the folder blocks we have gotten used to.

WAD actually was one reason I found it very hard to aprt with my WM phone. Thie level of adustability had not been reached before. People who do not know what the heck I am creaming my pants about should use google image search for "wisbar advance desktop". It was a pure naked framework, allowing beasically every freedom any designer could wish / hope for.

Anotherr important thing to note is the touch features which have come quite a long way since WM6.5. You would need to extend the framework in order to allow rotating dials for menu control, swipe movements for changing screen left to right and vice versa.

If you could actually manage to pull the old stunt where you made an app run constantly on a "homescreen" it would be awesome. Imagine 3-5-7-whatnot screen with widgets laid out side by side, but a simple upward stroke brings you into the already preloaded browser (from which you return with the back key into the regular homescreen).

God, I am bursting with ideas.

As I said, I will beat test all days long if you need someone.

I'm just brainstorming here. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to let me know. Right now I'm in the planning stages to see how close I can keep it to Windows Mobile, but at the same time implement new technologies in order to make it the most robust launcher around.[/QUOTE]

#Pinch to zoom and similar gestures will go a long way in allowing to extend the possibilites and ways the users can interact with the interface. Instead of an always visible appdrawer you could just use a gesture predefined that will launch the app drawer

Should we make a thread where all former WAD users and upcoming UI design freaks post their wishlists?
[Android Apps and Games] shaun0207:
I think we should just add them here. No need in creating anew thread.
[Android Apps and Games] PLEEZEFRAGME:
is WAD still in developement for android?
[Android Apps and Games] dancer_69:
Yes, you can find some infos on lakeridgesoftware.com site.
[Android Apps and Games] alboman:
Create wad x android vi supplico!!!!!

io avrei un interesse smisurato ,vorrei riavere WAD,in quanto e' il miglior lanciatore sia mai stato creato......sono passato ad android 3 anni fa e sono 3 anni che seguo la sua probabile uscita......ho guardato proprio ora sul sito della lakeridge e non ce' piu' nulla a riguardo......io pagherei anche 50€ questo software pur di averlo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FATE QUALCOSA VI PREGOOOOOOO!!!!!!
[EVO 4G General] cardiox:
I have an EVO that is completetly stock latest SW-3.29.651.5 and kernel-2.6.32.15 and the battery life stock is looking real good. I have not done any battery saving techniques such as turn off wifi and background syncs. This is an average daily use for me...could easily get 2 full days with some battery saving. Personally I am considering just staying stock on this EVO. Side by Side comparisons with my other rooted one has going either way a good deal...:)
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
I agree. With this latest update and kernel, my battery life is about 1 day now, or 12 hours with a lot of usage, which is what a lot of evo users have been getting from the start.

I'm also running fresh 3.3 and the newest htc kernel, and have stopped using all task kills, startup killers, cpu adjusters, ect.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
I seem to be getting about 4-8 hours of use out of the phone. I am not really concerned with standby time.

So during the week, I will easily get 20 hours of out it before it complains, weekends maybe longer as I am not using it as much.
[EVO 4G General] imekul:
That's really impressive! I have the same kernel and build number, but my battery life doesn't seem as good.

Just curious, are you on wifi most of the time? And do you keep GPS on and always-on mobile data?
[EVO 4G General] thedguy:
How's the battery life when using talk time? I'm looking at picking an evo up but there are days I use a solid 2 hours a day talking.
[EVO 4G General] cardiox:
My wifi stays on as does gps ect. The only thing I do when I do a fresh reset is first off turn off vibrate and any hepatic feedback. That is just a personal thing for me and is the only battery saving thing I do. I did however do a full battery charge thing...you know where you have it plugged in power on and full charge. Then unplug and turn off...re-plug and full charge/green light. This may or may not be why the battery life is so good but I am liking it for sure.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ericFuels999:
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anything adverse that might happen to your phone as a result of using my files. This is a very low risk operation, but you still perform this at your own risk.

CREDITS:

zach.xtr for his awesome xtrROM

.mak for the Espresso lock screen PNGs pulled from zenEXP

Android SDK (source of vanilla PNG files)

*All PNGs were optimized after pulling them from source*

This guide will give an even more vanilla look to xtrROM for those who like the orange highlights and white notification bar. Additionally, I have included the Espresso lockscreen (refer to screenshot) in a modified com.htc.resources.apk file. The lockscreen will still remain transparent, I just chose to use a wallpaper, so the screenshot doesn't show the transparent one. Most everything will have the highlights changed to the stock orange color, save a few things in the HTC-specific apps.

Before you do anything, make a NAND backup and/or make a backup of the files being pushed in this tutorial before pushing the ones I have provided. I have not tested this on another phone, as I only have the one that I performed this mod on, but I can't think of a reason it shouldn't work on another phone.

This was performed with xtrROM v 4.5.2. This may not work on previous versions.

Perform the following steps using ADB:

1. Push framework-res.apk, services.jar, and com.htc.resources.apk as follows:

adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
adb push com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk

NOTE: You *MUST* push the services.jar file if you want the clock to appear black on the white notification bar. Otherwise, it will remain white against a white background. Not very appealing, imo.

2. Your phone will soft reboot - this is normal. If you want, you can just force a hard reboot with:

adb reboot

YOUR PHONE MAY TAKE A LONG TIME TO BOOT. THIS IS NORMAL. If it takes an exorbitant amount of time (say 7 - 10 mins.), then it's probably safe to call it a failure. :( As long as your boot animation hasn't restarted or frozen, don't give up hope.

As pointed out by adrenalinerush12 and jadesdan, you must push com.htc.resources.apk if you want all the notification bar icons to appear white, since the stock HTC file overrides them in framework-res.apk. This means you will also get the Espresso lock screen (which, in my personal opinion, is the best-looking lock screen), but if somebody REALLY likes the boring grey "boomerang" bar, I suppose I can cook one up. Let me know.

com.htc.resources.apk Download:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IYU0T72P

framework-res.apk Download: Link down - file uploaded to this thread below.

services.jar Download: Link down - file uploaded to this thread below. VERY IMPORTANT: the file is named services.zip at the bottom because XDA doesn't let me upload .jar files ;), SO make sure to rename it to "services.jar" BEFORE you push the file to your phone.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] dEris:
The reason why I installed 2.1 is so I can have Sense with a black notification bar. Oh well, some people might actually like this. Nice work!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jadesdan:
This looks awsome! I love the XTR roms but couldn't stand the black bar.....

The framework and services.jar links are down :(

EDIT: I should have read the word "temporarily" a little closer.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] adrenalinerush12:
Freakin SWEET! I love the speed of xtrROM, just didn't like the green highlights and black notification bar. This is perfect for me. Thanks a bunch.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ericFuels999:
Yeah, you're right, they are down. Damn you, Megaupload!!! I think those two files might be under the XDA 8 MB limit...I'll try and upload them directly.

EDIT: OK, framework-res.apk and services.jar (as services.zip) are uploaded directly to XDA for your downloading pleasure. I don't know what Megaupload's problem is right now. Make sure to rename "services.zip" to "services.jar" - I made a little note of it near the bottom of my OP.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] adrenalinerush12:
That's odd, because it wasn't down for me. It let me download them just a few minutes ago.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ericFuels999:
Yeah, I don't know why Megaupload does that. I've had it happen a few times before, and it's never consistent. Anyway, let me know how it works out for you. I haven't officially heard whether it has worked for anybody, so I'm excited to hear back!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] adrenalinerush12:
Okay, when I pushed both framework-res.apk and services.jar, this is what I get:

:( Don't know what the issue is, but I pushed it twice to make sure. Still does the same thing.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jadesdan:
I've tried both with the MegaUpload files and also the ones linked here, but this is what I get. I've even tried wiping Dalvik and all, but this is the best I can do. You can tell that it's taking, but I think there might be some icons missing.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ericFuels999:
Hmmm, actually now I remember that some of the PNGs in framework-res.apk are overridden in the com.htc.resources.apk. I didn't think it was so many, though. Try pushing the com.htc.resources.apk, too. If you don't want the espresso lock screen, I can always change it for you later, but I just want to see if that fixes the notification bar icons.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] adrenalinerush12:
Yup. That fixed it! I actually deleted HtcLockScreen.apk because I like the stock horizontal slide one anyways. Thanks a bunch man.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ericFuels999:
Hell yes! I was worried that I'd screwed something up. I can be a bit absent-minded sometimes. I'll update the tutorial. Thanks to you and jadesdan for testing!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] adrenalinerush12:
No problem, but it seems that the notification bar clear button is black.. and so is the text, which makes it difficult to read. Not a huge deal, but. And icons such as a new text message with the stock app are still messed up looking. (With black as the background).
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ericFuels999:
Download and push the new services.jar (services.zip at the bottom of the thread) to fix the black "clear" button. I actually just fixed that last night - took a lot of fishing around to find out how to do it. I know the stock htc apps still have their original look in the noti bar - I didn't want to take the time to change them. :rolleyes: Haha, maybe in the future.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] adrenalinerush12:
Oh, and when my 3G icon changes to 1X to send a text, it goes back to the black icon. Then changes right back to the right 3G one.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] malpracti:
i am trying to apply this to xtrSENSE. i've got the white bar working, but the services.jar part is doing nothing. do i have to extract anything or just simply rename it? i have renamed it, but it says not found or something to that effect. i do understand that this may not work due to the fact that this is slightly different than xtrROM with rosie and whatnot.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ericFuels999:
Cool, so framework-res.apk pushed successfully. You shouldn't extract anything from services.zip, just rename it to services.jar and push it. There are modifications to the smali code in services.jar, rather than just swapping out PNGs, so it's somewhat likely that it won't work. It's very picky - one thing out of place, and it doesn't boot. I've learned that the hard way. ;)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jeffgman:
May I ask what you are using for the Sense like clock/weather and the icons? They are pretty cool.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ericFuels999:
For sure. The clock/weather widget is called "Fancy Widget". It's no longer on the market because the developers received a cease and desist order from HTC (can't imagine why :rolleyes:). Anyway, just google "fancy widget 1.3.0", and I guarantee you'll find it. I wouldn't have a problem uploading it, but some people might take issue since it's now a black market item. Whatev.

By the icons, do you mean the widgets that I have under the weather/clock widget? Those are all by curvefish and free in the market. Just search "curvefish". And if you're referring to the smiley face messaging icon I have, it's because I found a modified vanilla mms apk on a forum (can't stand HTC's slow as hell excuse for a text messaging program). Since that's open source, I've attached it to the post if you want it. Just be sure to delete HTC's mms, or you'll get some weird behavior.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jeffgman:
Great, thank you for the information. I have heard of Fancy Widgets, just never used it. I have purchased Beautiful Widgets and used it a little bit. I have searched for a theme that resembles the Sense one but have not found it yet.

I am currently using xtrSENSE so I have the Sense UI. Once Zach updates xtrROM I am going to install that and go back to launcher pro and beautiful widgets for my homescreen.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] balltongue:
First off, I would like to say thanks ericFuels999 for making this notification bar package. Definitely adds to the already awesome xtrROM making it that much better.

Anyway, I found another app that in my opinion is way better than Fancy Widget. Its called Weather & Toggle Widget. It's a paid app but i am sure you can google it. Anyway once you download it, You need to install the Clock and Weather Skin from the market. There Called H7C Clock and H7C Weather Icons. Then lastly after the skins are installed you can download the add on app call Weather Widget forecast addon. This is a free app. Here is the pay off. You get the look of the HTC Clock and Weather, when you press the weather on the clock it gives you the forecast and it also shows the effects (rain and windsheild wiper, fog ect) Plus it will show the effects when you unlock the screen.:eek:

So... All of my friends with iPhones and Android phones are raving over the Blizzard Mobile Authenticator.

Basically it's another level of security for your world of warcraft/star craft 2 accounts.

Originally, you would have to carry around a physical device that spits out a code... But now there are apps that do the same thing.

My problem? My phone is rooted, running CyanoGenMod 2 or something, and Blizzard coded the app to not run on a "hacked" phone as they call it.

Is there a way that I could emulate a non hacked environment so that this app would work? Ideally I'd be able to make a custom shortcut on my phones' main screen that launches the environment and runs the app. But even if I have to launch something then run the app, it would still be far superior to toting around this easy-to-lose authenticator.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evilkorn:
No, it would be far easier to see why it won't run on a rooted phone and fix it that way. I briefly read the description and comments about it and didn't see any comments about not running on rooted phones.

Did you try this http://www.appbrain.com/app/flexauth/com.chrisheald.flexauth ?

There really shouldn't be a reason for it to not run or even have a reason to block it from rooted phones. It would sound like there is some incompatibility with the rom, have you tried a different one?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yeager484:
It runs fine on a rooted phone, it just warns you that by using rooted software can have vulnerabilities
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] poordna:
Actually you both make a good point, I haven't yet tried the mobile authenticator on THIS rom, I tried it on a MoDaCo rom I had been using for a few months.

I'll give it a shot and post the error message if I get one.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] poordna:
Yes. You guys were right.

On my old ROM, there was no "ok" button below the rooted phone warning, therefore I believed that I simply could not run the app on a rooted phone.

Perhaps being on Froyo made the difference.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jelive:
A stand alone equalizer. It works by default for all sound and can be disabled, if desired. This version allows independent equalizer for the headphone, speaker, and bluetooth. (New GB apk version contains additional settings.) I am not the DSP Manager dev…just making it available for those whose ROM doesn't include and would like to try and see if it works for them.

Should work on many ROMs and newer phones. You must be Rooted…Make a Nand Backup…I’m not responsible for problems...YMMV

For Froyo: Flash zip file like ROM, kernel, theme, etc. The proper Froyo library files will be added along with the app. Suggest you wipe cache and dalvik cache. If you have an older version in my test it appears you can flash over it and it will overwrite older files and update it. As always recommend NAND backup first.

For Gingerbread: Install apk file. Newer Android GB ROMs (appears to work up through GB 2.3.5) are no longer dependent on audio library files to be added to get DSP working. You should be able to just install a DSP apk to get it working. I've attached an apk. Do Not Use the Zip...that's for Froyo ONLY. As always recommend NAND backup first.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
i dont think for my kind of usage an equalizer will make much difference...BUT, i'm interested in being able to raise the volume of the speaker...is that something I can get done with this app? and if so, can the volume really be increased any noticeable amount without risking damaging the speaker?

thanks in advance!:D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davebu:
gonna give it a whirl on a few different sound systems, never use headphones though so don't know how helpful this will be.

Yes, but without the library file included it does absolutely nothing.

Is there a newer version that works over Bluetooth?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] riassan:
yes actually if you check out Vaelpak it has been using this in the last few updates before it showed up in EVIO 1.3. so if you are looking for it w/bluetooth its in that rom. try it out or at least thats were a newer version is available

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jelive:
You could raise the gain to increase "apparent" volume but with these tiny speakers probably shouldn't do too much.

Jim
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jelive:
Correct, need library, which is included with this one.

Jim
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jelive:
Yes there is a newer version which includes bluetooth...if someone has a newer stand alone version I'll upload it here for all.

Several ROMs are including it...I just wanted to make available as a stand alone for those not wanting to flash a whole new ROM just to get DSP.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jelive:
Since you know how to do this stuff with ROM building you may want to go to devs site http://bel.fi/~alankila/android-dsp/ and get newest source http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_DSPManager. That even includes equalizer for bluetooth devices. If you do and could create a flashable zip with the newest version sure would like to have to post here for others to use as a stand alone. :D

Installed and working fine on headset...will try out speaker when I get out of the library.

In the meantime...how can I uninstall this? After flashing it pandora force closes and won't open at all. Need to uninstall to diagnose what is causing the problem...

If I have to pick dsp or pandora I pick pandora!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jelive:
Look in first post...depends on whether you relied on nand backup or did manual backup of appropriate file.

Ha I did neither....but I had just backed up my whole rom yesterday so I'll put back the file when I get home and see if that fixes pandora

Did you by chance try unchecking compression and equalizer and try Pandora...that should be no effect-stock.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jasonmadcow:
Hi everyone,

I've managed to boot android several times, but always have the same problem (and have never been able to find a fix).

I manage to boot android perfectly and configure everything the first time, but when I switch the phone off, when I start android again it hangs at the black htc screen.

The only way i've found to make android work again, is by deleting all the files and booting again....

Today I reseted the phone by pressing the red button at the back and it started again perfectly, but after I switched the phone back off, same problem...

Are we not supposed to power off the phone?

Thanks a lot in advance
