[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mb02:
That's for the transparent notification background, not the status bar. Editing services.jar for that hasn't been necessary in all of the pre-release froyo builds AND the official one. If it was just a simple services.jar that was needed, it wouldn't exactly send you to a bootloop for shading up the correlating png file sinc the value would still be in services. What people are doing different in their roms, I don't know but for some reason it isn't allowing this mod.

BTW, I HAVE simply swapped a file for the pulldown bar itself and had it work in the original official OTA build, as long as the rom was deodexed.

Ok I'm trying to use photoshop since I'm on a mac and I'm not sure the best way to change the opacity. I tried to bring the .png in as a smart object which allowed to simply change the layer opacity, but when i saved back as a .png it's no longer transparent looking. Any other ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] joeavery2:
Hello,

I have a idea for a launcher but don't have the programing experience to make it. Unless a launcher is much easier to do then I think. I have done some light app dev in eclipse for android and would be willing to try it my self if someone can point me in the right direction.

I'll put the idea out there and anyone who wishes to use it I only ask to be credited with the original concept.

I call it "No Home"

The idea is that I am constantly hitting back or home to return to the home screen before I press the power button and put the phone to sleep. But the home screen provides nothing I really need, at least not necessarily. So Instead pressing home button will open a app drawer, I like the one Zeam uses since on return you are back where you left it. Also Some of the others allow changing of the number of Icons wide and tall are displayed, This would be a nice addition since I have a EVO and four by four has a lot of wasted space. Also it needs to be able to do folders. This allows for apps to be organized.

On boot you are opened to the App Drawer/screen. Then from there you just leave the phone at what ever app it is in when letting it sleep, if you need to open a new app either long press home for a recent app or press it to get to the app drawer/screen.

There would be no widgets unless they could go in the app screen, The notifications will have to do. I'm sure a always running notification that provides some kind of folder or something for widgets could be developed.

I know this would not be the launcher for everyone, maybe not even you. I also realize it sounds like this or that launcher or that I could achieve the same thing by not pressing the home button, but I think as a App it would be faster and lighter then any home screen launcher could be.
[Android Apps and Games] tbo-art:
Nice!

Nice idea. But I don't have the programming skills either. Good luck with it and I hope that someone can make this soon!

[Android Apps and Games] matt.tugwell:
have you tried vlauncher

search for it in the market
[Android Apps and Games] joeavery2:
Good call. It is not far off, and I'd consider it, but I'm not going for a iOS Home screen, I like the vertical drawer very much over horizontal and, I'm not sure if it is just my phone but I saw serious lag on vlauncher.

I guess What I'm looking for is really just a launcher missing the home screen. A striped down launcher. I need a app drawer that will allow me to get to my apps fast, and I have about 200 apps on my phone. Having to go home then press the app drawer button is two steps vs my proposed one. Also 16 apps vs 25 (for higher res screens like the EVO) makes a big difference.

I think I saw a how-to in a starting with android lesson that had a home screen lesson. Maybe I'll give that a shot... Have to find it again.

Still welcome any other suggestions or help, thanks for the ones so far.
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
AWD Launcher (and I think other launchers as well) has an option to launch the drawer when pressing the home button.

(You can still go to the desktop by tapping a on-screen icon: convenient for incedental consult of some widgets)
[Android Apps and Games] joeavery2:
Ah, I found the home button binding setting in AWD Launcher, I forgot how configurable AWD was, and how much I liked it. This is close, When you press home it brings you to the home screen and a second tap brings up the app launcher, which you can set the number wide and tall the icons are.

This will work, between this and just leaving the phone at it's present state vs. pressing home before putting it to sleep, it basically solves my issue.

It would be a neat add on of AWD to Reverse the order of the home screen operation, maybe I'll suggest a option for that.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions.
[EVO 4G Accessories] DrawnToScale:
Is it possible to connect a memory card to the Evo's USB connector and be able to access files on that card? It would be nice to use the Evo to access photos on my camera when I don't have a computer handy. I don't want to open the Evo and swap cards.
[EVO 4G Accessories] guitardoc64:
I don't think there is any way right now. Probably would need drivers to access the usb port. I know it's been tried on winmob to no success.

go ahead and do the update, or not?. My phone is unrooted, lagfix installed, GPS runs good and so is AP mobile. Everything works flawlessly. I heard/read and saw lots of people have problem with the OTA update. Do i miss anything if i don't do this update? I am thinking of waiting until the Froyo release. I know to do the update, I should remove lagfix, ext 2. My main concern is the availability of AP Mobile after update? Any advices. Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikolaiT:
You may run into issues if you install it with the MobileAP mod.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapinkerton:
There's a new version of MobileAP that supports JI6 just fine - you'll just have to reapply that new version from the MobileAP thread after the update. Be sure you undo the lag fix first or you'll be in a world of hurt.

The OTA may fail on your phone even so, but it's easy to flash the JI6 update via ODIN and get everything working again.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nguyenmd:
HELP Please...

OK. I removed OCLF and EXT2, then go ahead and do the update. However, during the update process, the % bar 0-100%, near the end when it reached 100%, I got a prompt "update failed, your fone will reboot". Now, looks like I am stuck at the boot screen (Vibrant and SAMSUNG screen). What should i do now?

One thing though, I was able to put the phone in the Download mode (volume up/down, pwr button). But when i select re-install packages, i got message "no update.zip file on sdcard". Is it ok if i put "update.zip" file on the SD card (root) and reinstall? Will this restore the phone? Thanks.:confused::(

I just got the OTA update and I was rooted and OCLF lag fixed with clockwork installed and wireless tether installed.

After the update I was still rooted, lag fix still worked (quadrant about 2300~ or so) and wireless tether just worked.

To be honest I don't like the update becase of crap running in the background and the new task killer administers vacuum to genital organs of decayed donkeys...but it all went smooth.

I'm even tethered to the phone now :)

Also shows the device running 6.5.x just found it funny how they demoed it with overlayed images and thought i would share. Also shows they had our beloved device in mind as a subtle device.

Where did you get the download from, because there isn't a WM version on the kingmaker app download page ?

[Nexus One General] Brownbay:
Has anyone experienced this before? I seem to loose 3G connectivity while talking on a call. I can keep talking... but the 3G icon disappears and I see an alert icon notifying me that I've lose data connectivity.

This doesn't happen all the time, but quite often. Sometimes, the icon with signal bars will have a small 'R' at the top left indicating that I may be in Roaming mode.

I've got the ATT Nexus One with Bell Mobility as my carrier (Canada). They have a pure HSDPA network with no 2G fall back, so I'm not sure how I could lose 3G and still be on the call... I've got 2.2.1 FRG83 with Stock Android and the phone is NOT rooted.

Any suggestions? Should I reapply FRG83 -- or the entire stock android image (is this even possible on a non-rooted phone)?
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Not sure if this is the same, as I never go into Roaming mode... but I routinely lose my data connection while making phone calls. I'm on T-mobile, btw.
[Nexus One General] Brownbay:
Is this something normal? Have you just ended up living with it?

I'm slightly concerned about missing an email or SMS during a call if data connectivity is lost. Although, I don't think that data is truly lost as Bell Mobility only has a 3G network, there is no 2G to fall back on...
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Are you sure you're not roaming over other networks? I'm sure you are switched to another network, and the data is dropped because Android has a switch to turn off data (which has nothing to do with SMS, by the way) when roaming, and this switch is on by default.

When the data is dropped, I believe it's not re-negotiated until the end of your conversation, so if you're switched to a roaming cell tower for even a second - your data is gone until the end of your call.

If your cellular carrier has agreement with other carrier's cell towers and they accept roaming (which is sometimes the case, as I've learned from this forum) - you should turn that switch off to retain data even when roaming.

I just want to remove the clockworkmod recovery to regular or stock recovery? I found the info for EVO 4g and it said not to use for anything else. Could someone, please tell me how to remove clockworkmod recovery and change it back to stock?
[Droid X General] thepolishguy:
First- this applies if you are on 2.2 ota- not 2.1 or leaked 2.2

The easiest way now might be simply starting from scratch. The 2.2 ota sbf was released last night so you can use it to restore your phone to factory state. You will need the SBF and the latest version of RSDLite. Google...

VRZ_MB810_2.3.15_1FF_01

and something should come up. It is a large file. 430mb or so. (unzipped)

Also google rsdlite 4.8 it is not a very large file. I have never done the sbf before- but there is a guide on the droid x rootzwiki...

http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Smartphones/Motorola/Droid-X/Droid-X.html

WARNING!!! make sure you are using the FULL SBF for 2.2! there is a sytem sbf for 2.2 that you don't want and there is the 2.1 sbf that you definitely don't want.

There may be just a simple uninstall- but I don't know how. I am a newb. Maybe a veteran will chime in with some help?
[Droid X General] Cyc323:
Thank uou.

I was able to do that lastnight. before I got home from work, I downloaded SBF file with myDX. It took me an hour. By 8:00 pm my phone was rooted again without clockwork mod.
[Droid X General] thepolishguy:
Cool. Since I have never done it before- did you just follow the rootzwiki guide? And was it pretty straight forward? And- how long once you actually started RSDLite did the process take (assuming you used RSDL)?

thanks.
[Droid X General] Cyc323:
It wasn't painful. I used rsd lite 4.8. I searched for info on 4.8 but everything is on 4.7, even on rootzwiki . On 4.7 you are suppose to move an .ini file to another place. I saw a similar file but without the .ini extension. I thought maybe this is one of the improvement of 4.8 over 4.7. You also have to do the bootloader thing. The whole process took about less than 10 minutes. I was surprised that nothing on the phone was erased other than titanium backup. Wallpaper and Launchpro's settings were still intact.
[HD2 General] blpowder:
Hi all, i need to send my lovely hd2 for a SAV...but as many, i changed lot of things on it!

I searched every where but couldn't managed to find a stock splash image.the second one that comes up with all the writtings at the bottom.Who can help me?

thanks a lot
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
the stock roms generally don't have a second splash, they just show the first for twice as long and the writing appears half way through.

if you (like i did) flashed a second boot screen, or you used a cooked rom that includes a second splash, you now no doubt have found that flashing a stock rom hasn't removed it. you will need to make a duplicate of the stock first splash and flash it as a second. i had to do this with my o2 hd2.

some info on how in my sig (the watermarking link)
[HD2 General] blpowder:
Okayyyy, thanks a lot! i was starting to feel lost as i reflashed so many time without making it!lol!

Now my prescious will be able to get it sensivity back....

By the way, maybe you know about this:

I used a froyo desire hd android rom and since then i'm unable to use the touch screen. Thehardware buttons works awsomly(even better than they ever did) but the ttouch screen just keep taunting me like: no no no,i won't anwser!it's kind of frustrating!:(

Do you know about this?

Thanks again guy, you're just incredible:):):):):)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
sorry, i know nothing about android.
[HD2 General] blpowder:
ok no prob...I'll just send it back and see how it goes.

but first, i don't understand how watermarking can help me duplacating the first splash book?can you explain please?the thing is that i don't know how to duplicate the first splash...
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you need to find the splashscreen as a bitmap .bmp file (there are several threads with various stock images, or you can probably make one, i did for my o2 return) and use the method in my watermarking thread to flash that image to both the first and second splash locations. this will then look like one splash when you send it for repair, so they wont notice anything. (Theyre really only interested in the spl anyway, you can probably get away with just using a standard htc splash even on a branded phone)
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
Depending on what boot screen you need, I might be able to help you out. If you need the plain white HTC splash (found on WWE devices) you can download the second-level splash from my sig.;)

Yes i'm looking for the stock splash screen...if i flash yours, will it revert the first splashscreen or the second one(the one i need)?. If it doesn't could you jus post the splash screen image?i 'll flash it by myself. Thanks a lot for all your help

By the way, do know about android on hd2?maybe you could help me with the issue i explained few posts earlier (with the unresponsive touchscreen after a using an android rom.I tried to hardreset,go back to stock rom but nothing changed....)thanks again
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
I have the stock white HTC splash screen (level 2) in my sig (just to clarify, it's just a white screen with a green "HTC" logo in the middle). It's the second attachment here.

What Android build do you have? List your Android build, your radio, and your ROM.
[HD2 General] blpowder:
Yep, this is the one i was looking for. thanks

As i said i return to a stock rom(sd card flashing), so i don't have any android rom anymore.nor coustom windows phone.

i used

hc desire hd rom from meedjay 3.3a

windows rom: ozdroid 1.11

radio: 2.12.50.02.2(not quite sure)

it functionned flawlessly 'till i rebooted.Then the touchscreen became totally unresponsive.Now i can only use the hardware buttons...(sounds really bad.doesn't it?) i have to mentionned that i already changed the screen for aproximately the same issue(the screen used to become partly unresponsive for a while...)
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
No problem.

I'm a little confused. Does your screen respond only in WM? Or does your screen not respond in both WM and Android?

If your screen only responds in WM (but does not respond in Android), then it can't be a hardware problem -- it's something wrong with your Android build. If this is the case, try a different Android build; try one that is not from the Desire HD port because that port still has a lot of bugs. If you want, you can try the phireMOD ROM (based on the Sprint HTC EVO4G) that is working for me.
[HD2 General] blpowder:
Nope,

unfrotunately the screen is totaly unresponsive in both roms....the only things i can use are the hardware buttons....So i guess it's an hardware issue,but i wanted an experienced opinion before sending it....

What confused me is the fact that the phone didn't fell.i only changed the android rom( i'm kind of flashaholic!lol) then i rebooted and since the screen became unresponsive, even after many hardreset.I can't enter my pin code anymore,neither can i enter windows mobile, or android.

Now i'll just have to reflash the stock spashscreen and send my prescious for a little lifting,right?lol
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
Maybe your phone just wanted to fail when you did a hard reset.:p

Yeah, you'll have to send it back. Just flash the stock splash screen (level 2), make sure everything (splash screen, radio, etc.) is back to stock(!!!), then flash the stock SPL.
[HD2 General] blpowder:
LOL!:):):)

Yeah, he wanted a brake,as i tortured him so much during the past 6 months!

Thanks a lot man, it's good to know i can count on all of you experienced guys!

I'll do as u said then wait and see!lol

Last question: can i flash the latest official rom?or will it stop me if i want to reinstall HSPL when i get the phone back?
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
No, I'm not an expert. I just learned a little bit of this stuff over time after reading on XDA.:o

You can probably flash official ROMs because they don't need HSPL. Get it from HTC's website so in the event your phone gets bricked, you could say you got the ROM from HTC, not XDA.;)
