Html 5 is not like the previous htmls. So yeah this will be the next big internet language think web apps and pages that are totally dynamic. Good choice.

The multi tasking can be learned... good habits and time management... mostly learning the most basic of issues there's probably 5 or so and how the efficiently solve the problems and with what tools. Tools are very important every thing from ant or scripts to automate task to custom libraries.

Here's one, it's sort of a snarky developer joke.

You can have software.. done fast, done cheap and done right. You can only choose two though.
[Hero CDMA General] ASimmons:
Hey Sorry

Sorry I been super busy. There small a small re-org in my department and I changed cubicals (this office space) and now I sit next to the "I've done it all programmer". The I've done it all programming can do everything, and its was always easier.

So hows the paper going?
[Hero CDMA General] damiandarkwater:
Done! :D

It was a pleasure to write after talking with you, thank-you.

I get my grade sometime next week.
[Hero CDMA General] rulyskull:
Thank you Simmons I am in 9th grade and am in a it trade school and I have thinking of going more for software thank you for all this I will finish reading these when I get home :)

I have been looking at a few apps in the market and I'm seeing more and more suggestions that the apps are a battery drain. How are these users so sure that one particular app is killing the battery? I can't find any way to see that, only the usage setting that shows display, phone idle, wifi and stuff like that.

Are live wallpapers really a battery hog when the device is not in use (display off and no other apps running)?

I'm using Tasker and have several (ok...17) tasker widgets that manage many settings and apps. I also have a few dozen profiles that manipulate tasks that are associated with those widgets. Any consensus that Tasker is a culprit? I do use it for alot of stuff.

Rooted Aria running FR006 (Liberated with Froyo).
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] zervic:
I'm assuming that by 'usage settings' you mean -> settings, about phone, battery usage

If so, that should give you more of a breakdown than just what you had listed there...
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] sna66:
I think you can use task manager to see what's running. It's a lot of experimentation . I'm testing itnow and it seems ok . I did a clean install of the sense Rom..( I prefer this UI) I installed no utilities no task killer no Setcpu nothing. I did not install Google voice disabled Google talk. Left background data but unchecked autosync. I put the HTC sync widget on desktop so I can hit it ever so often when I got the itch. Keeping gps WiFi bt off till needed will report back
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] duckredbeard:
Searched the market and found 191 task managers. Which dev are you referring to?
[HD7 General] eyan15:
I read sometime back about the inability of WP7 to change the ringtone to a custom music but it totally slipped my mind.

I just want to make sure if that is still true... I couldn't find the option in the phone or anything online..

Is there anyway to change the ringtone to a custom one?

Thanks in advance.
[HD7 General] Jonno2343:
No, at the moment there are no custom ringtones.

There is some indication that ringtones may become available in the Marketplace so I'm not sure when / if we will see our own music used as a ringtone.
[HD7 General] poopilot:
I'm surprised by the concern people show about this -- it must be just me who just lives with whatever comes as standard! :)
[HD7 General] Avandor:
After years of training yourself for that custom ringtone, which you can pinpoint in the middle of a Iron Maiden concert, its hard for some to adapt to a "ring ring ring".
[HD7 General] ceesheim:
"Dong Dong Dong" is also available :D
[HD7 General] frontieruk:
I'd like to be able to hear the ringtones, they are so damned quiet
[HD7 General] Blueightytwo:
vibrate is the best ringtone ever
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
I'm sure I'll get flamed for this because it seems everyone around here is in love with Sense UI, but it drives me nuts. Especially that stupid Genius button. I now have to waste an entire row of my home screen with the Google search widget.

I...

****ing...

hate...

Sense!

Seriously, I can't stand it. I LOVE the hardware on this phone but am thinking of returning it and buying something used and rootable so I can install a vanilla version of Android.

Despite the facts that I would never use the physical keyboard and would rather have the front facing camera and the faster processor, I almost bought the G2 just for the clean version of Android.

Just curious if anyone else feels this way. I swear, if I could just double the RAM on my original MT3G, I would be satisfied to overclock it to 614 or so and go on my merry way.
[myTouch 4G General] Bateluer:
I feel your pain. :P

I'm not a fan of any UI overlays, they just don't seem to add much. Most of their features are already part of Android.

I'm leaning to purchasing the MT4G, just waiting for full root first. Pretty sure I'm going to drop some coins into the pot for the devs next pay day.
[myTouch 4G General] pierrekid:
1. G2 and mt4g have simlar processors, just that the g2 is underclocked. So they are capable of the SAME SPEEDS.

2. Sense, especially expresso on the mytouch, is absolute garbage! Its so ugly I can't believe people actually like it. It looks waaay to much like an iphone...only uglier.

3. I honetly don't care about ffc, if I need to video chat, then I can just use the one on the back of the g2.

4. Keyboard on the g2 is brilliant. Add in the fact that it comes with swype makes it ridiculous. Sorry you don't like physical keyboards, but I absolutely love this one. By far one of the p-keyboards...ever.

5. Screen on the g2 is slcd, unlike the mt4g which has an absolutley crap screen, reminds me of the screen on the motorola cliq.

6. G2 is amazing, sorry you made the wrong choice, should def switch back
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
All good to know. I never said I don't like physical keyboards. In fact I really like the one on the G2.

I just don't think I'll end up using it because touchscreen typing is faster/easier for me.
[myTouch 4G General] Noyabronok:
It's ok. You can install another launcher to make it look different. The genius button, however, is a whole different matter. There is no way to override its behavior, so that really bothers me.
[myTouch 4G General] HeavyComponent:
I hear you! I hate sense as well and it reminds me of Windows Mobile to much!!! I just use LauncherPro which is great! :D
[myTouch 4G General] floepie:
I like it. I'd rather not see all the crazy widgets that it ships with however. I do like that it's prettier than stock Vanilla. I mean, I want to kill myself looking at some of the stock apps. I'd just as soon send them back to 2004. And, having that ugly Android robot thingy peeking out from the corner? Talk about tacky! :)

OK, flame away.
[myTouch 4G General] pierrekid:
Are you kidding me? Sense, especially expresso, is one of the ugliest UI's I've ever seen. But if you like it....to each their own. I actually like what android was meant to look like. If I wanted that look I would have went with an iphone...
[myTouch 4G General] Arcadia310:
Stock android is boring and lacks the great builtvin features that HTC Sense has. The menus, widgets, and built in functionality name HTC Sense more fun to use for me. I doubt many of you G2 owners have even used a myTouch 4G. The UI is a lot more polished than stock android 2.2.
[myTouch 4G General] floepie:
Well, coming from the Vibrant, I like it much better. The Vibrant's UI was little Fisher-Price for my tastes. This just seems a little more fresh, almost business-modern. Why does everyone come back to the iphone when this topic arises anyway? We're here to stay, so let's just drop the iphone comparison. There is almost unanimous agreement that the iOS offers one of the greatest UI experience bar none. It's too bad there are too many glaring omissions in its functionality. So, to compare this UI to the iphone's isn't a bad thing in my book. I mean, if this Android phone were encased in an iphone's garments, complete with a skin that looked exactly like the iphone's, I would be no more apt to go with an iphone. To suggest that you would points to your obsession with that device, no?
[myTouch 4G General] pierrekid:
I understand that, hence why if you love the iphone UI, you should go get one. If you don't, stick to a UI that does not resemble iphone ie anything not sense...
[myTouch 4G General] SE7EN-:
Personally I like the functionality that expresso brings to the table. Its like an ugly girl that has a great package who gives a great blowjob in return atleast that's how I see it.
[myTouch 4G General] floepie:
First, I don't even think this looks remotely like iOS, let's be reasonable. OK, perhaps a *tad* bit more than stock or TouchWiz. Secondly, I won't hide my affection for the iOS's UI. It's very nice. But, your reasoning still alludes me. Why "should I get one" if I like its UI only? Android is infinitely more customizable and inherently more powerful and scalable - not to mention, it's a lot more open-source-y. I make my decision based on the whole package, not simply a phone's UI. While important, it's not the end all. So, can we stop the whole childish "if you love the iphone UI, you should go get one" bit? Really. While it may not be apparent, you're giving the iphone more credit than it deserves by bringing it up in the context of an Android overlay.
[myTouch 4G General] kamasi36:
Preference. Sense has a huge following and for good reason. Not just the widgets but browser functionality and mail pinch to zoom. The cut, c.c.p. and dictionary search, language translation is nice to have. If stock Android had the, desk clock, browser, mail pinch to zoom, FM radio, wifi calling, Flip weather clock, bookmark widget and ffc, I wouldn't mind vanilla. Just that HTC brings nice functionality that many of us prefer. All you have to do is venture over to Nexus development and check out Evil D's following and the EVO and DINC, Desire and you will pretty much see there is a huge market for the Sense UI. If you don't like it or think it is ugly then by all means have you some Cyanogen or Enom or MIUI. Coming on here crying about your preference is kinda lame and retarded.
[myTouch 4G General] RealityDesign:
Install launcher pro, and enjoy having the best of both worlds. The sense launcher sucks (in my opinion), and launcher pro gets rid of that problem. Then the things that the sense UI does better (like the lock screen) you still have. I hate sense, and after minor tweaks and mods, like my MT4G way better than my G2.
[myTouch 4G General] pierrekid:
Mt4g sense is still running smart one, so you loose all that great ram while at the same time running launcherpro. Meaning a severe decrease is resources.
[myTouch 4G General] CyberStorm98:
I have always been a vanilla Android fan, I always bought vanilla handsets and the OS updates, and stock features were more than enough for me.

However, I was open and gave mySense a shot on this phone and I have been impressed so far. The contacts, gallery, music, alarm clock and several other apps are so much more fully featured and integrated than I thought. Also, if you pick the right theme, widgets and wallpaper combination, the UI can really be beautiful. I think I would have a hard time going back to stock android now.

For example, I really miss having the vibrate slider on my lock screen like my Nexus had, but with this phone I get a seperate lock screen wallpaper for more customization and I can read text messages and emails on the lock screen. The trade off works for me.

Obviously it's a matter of personal preference, but bashing someone for liking a skin is idiotic. I have an iPod Touch, and I cannot stand iOS, I think it's hard to understand, boring and limited, but most of the world thinks it's the greatest OS on the planet. I don't bash iPhone owners for liking it. Like most things, you just have to have an open mind, give it a shot and maybe you will be surprised.

I prefer mySense now for what it can do, but I will jump to the next great handset in another year or so and be perfectly happy. If that phone happens to be vanilla or sense I have no idea, but I would be cool with either.
[myTouch 4G General] ArcticWolf91:
I don't mean to sound rude, but is installing Launcher Pro really that hard?
[myTouch 4G General] mixer5911:
I'm just waiting to being able to install miui on this phone. Expresso sense is not THAT bad... i could do without some bloatware but it doesn't bother me much. I happily retired my nexus and traded in the bulky g2 for this phone.
[myTouch 4G General] JWhipple:
I couldn't have put it any better myself :D
[myTouch 4G General] Gr8gorilla:
I have all three phones, Vibrant, G2, MyTouch4G. Before this I had a Nexus one, I love stock android, there is a lot to love about the HTC Sence too though. The reality for me is that I have chosen to use the MyTouch as my primary device. I wanted to love the G2, but the reboots, over and over and also a lot of bad reception, and the bulky feel, was just too much for me all together. The last keyboard phone that I had before this one was a blackberry, I really just don't need it I have found. I am comfortable with swype.

I have my G2 on ebay now. I will keep the Vibrant as a fun phone, for games, media and rom flash fixes. The MyTouch is my first sense phone, I rocked CM on the Nexus never put the desire sense rom on it.

But as said before, it is a personal preference and each phone has its own merits, even the Vibrant (SAMOLED).

So buy the phone that most fits your needs and your style. Saying that Sense sux or is ugly is like saying that chicken tastes bad.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Wow, I really did not expect this thread to take off like this, lol.

I agree, there are some cool features I love, mostly the recent apps in notification bar, but the other stuff I find distracting and obnoxious. The WiFi calling is pretty darn neat, but I really even prefer the froyo lock screen.

NOT knocking anyone for liking sense, it's just not for me. I've decided an N1 or maybe even N2 would be perfect for me.

Again, absolutely ADORE the hardware, just dislike the software. If I could install CM on here I'd be good to go.
[myTouch 4G General] Bateluer:
We need perma-root for these things. :(
[myTouch 4G General] Noyabronok:
Are you sure about that? I have the Home Manager app to test other launchers and after you select your default launcher, after a while (or a reboot) the other launchers' memory print goes away and "Running" state goes away as well, according to the Home Manager screen. So, right now I have LauncherPro set as default and it's showing running, while Launcher (the stock launcher) and ADW are both not running.
[myTouch 4G General] Leggoo:
I love the htc sense UI more smoother then stock 2.2. I had the Nexus One and it lack a look too it you should play with the myTouch 4g then you will decision that. MyTouch 4g is the best friendly user phone on the market
[myTouch 4G General] negreenfield:
I'll start by saying I love Sense, and I love the version of Sense running on the MyTouch 4g (I'm currently running Evil's ROM ported to Nexus One, sort of to try it out for a while).

If you don't like it I don't understand buying this phone? There are options out there with Vanilla android and this phone may have it too one day, so why not wait to find out if a vanilla android solution comes to this phone before buying it? Sense has been around long enough to know what you are getting into before buying an HTC phone that has it.

Anyway, different strokes for different folks, that's what's nice is the options that are out there.
[myTouch 4G General] eViL D::
I concur. If you had/have an N1, you flash my port and check out that version of Sense. If not, I would be surprised if T-Mobile didn't have a demo unit.

*btw, I'll trade you my N1. :)
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
I'm coming from an original mt3g and figured I would give sense a try. 30 day cooling off period in california anyway.

I actually just put a wanted ad on CL for vibrant/n1. If anyone has one for sale I'm all ears!

As I mentioned in the first post, I LOVE the hardware! Sooo fast and smooth compared my mt3g, lol, but I just don't like all this sense nonsense.
[myTouch 4G General] negreenfield:
I've got an N1 and I'm considering the MyTouch 4G so I'm willing to talk. :)
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
I signed a contract so I'm gonna return it instead of trade, but I'll certainly make an offer. PMing you.
[myTouch 4G General] sweetandsour:

+1 Sense UI is much better then stock..
[myTouch 4G General] alexguitar:
This is my fist non stock android phone and while I love Android in all its shapes and sizes I must admit that I was getting tired of stock Android. I started with a g1 then moved to the mytouch 3g to a nexus one one, to the g2 and finally to the mytouch 4g. While there are some things that bug me about this phone (genuis button? Really?) I am enjoying something different in the UI. Just my 2 cents.
[myTouch 4G General] negreenfield:
Uh, oh, thinking of getting rid of your N1? Does that mean your ports are going away soon? :eek:
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
I agree with this statement completely, I get very tired of looking at the boring Vanilla Ui, it lacks many widgets found on sense or other custom ui's, and it's just something new. It's all shiny and glossy and just a beautiful peace of work, I can't say the same about stock, which has barely changed since 1.0, the colors are still pretty much the same. When the 4G is rooted you will probably have access to modded ver of G2's rom and vice-versa...I bet you will want to return to sense:p

Also you may like the look of regular sense(one of desire/evo/hero/etc), instead of Espresso or mySense as you may know it. The approach to make a new version of sense has made the ui blueish+blocky, everything has those boxes on it. I tired sticking on stock with my n1, but didn't like the look, was to used to using sense on the hero.
[myTouch 4G General] Lockeskidney:
one factor that steers me away from stock android. the camera app

it sucks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Abracastabya:
I came across this today and thought I'd share. It works awesome. Check it out in the market if ya want.

http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.elohim.sasc

Open your mind, Quaid.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Visionikz03:
difference between this and spare parts or droidsans other than a paid app?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Abracastabya:
Just throwing it out there as another option.

Open your mind, Quaid.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
Awesome; I forgot about using Spare Parts to speed up the animations. It looks a lot better now IMO.

Thanks! :D
[Click Android Development] marxo:
This is my last resort on this matter, since I've tried almost anything that crossed my mind.

SOLVED! ~ Click to see how!

What have I been trying to do?

I've been trying to add language strings to Rosie.apk (actually trying to cook a ROM for Tattoo) by decoding Rosie.apk with APK Tool, then adding values-sr (Serbian strings, which I manually translated) to the decompiled resource folder and then building again, and then using the new resources.arsc with the original Rosie.apk. This procedure actually worked when I tried modifying Froyo (2.2), however on Donut, upon boot I get a force close of com.htc.launcher, no matter what I do. The frameworks (com.htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk) are installed with apktool, so you can rule that out.

What have I tried so far to bypass the issue?

1. I tried the normal procedure, building the modified apk, then using new resources.arsc with the original apk - crashes.

2. When I realized that the classes.dex is present and changed upon re-building with new resources I tried using both resources.arsc and classes.dex with the original apk and it still - crashes.

3. I tried using original res and META-INF folder, along with original AndroidManifest.xml in the new apk - crashes.

The only thing that I haven't tried is to transfer only classes.dex which doesn't seem as a logical thing to do, because the translation is in resources.arsc after building.

A few additional hints

1. After I added Serbian in the list, I came across a strange thing. It seems that there is a possibility that locale for Serbia isn't implemented in full, because the string is not localized as it is for other locales, for example if you have Russian in the list it will show: "Русский" and the country name will be in Russian also. Serbian is written in English, which seems a bit strange, and might have something to do with the crash. However, a partial Finnish translation is available in the ROM by default, and when I enabled it, it worked, even though the locale was in English also.

2. framework-res.apk already has a partial Serbian translation (date, time, formats and such) and it works if I use Serbian without implementing the new Rosie.apk (changed in any way mentioned earlier).

View attachment 436548

Finnish is not quite implemented, but works, however I don't think that Rosie.apk is translated, so I guess I'm not doing something right with Rosie.apk.

All this is quite confusing, and I would really appreciate if any one of you can give me an idea, because I'm stuck. It's giving me headache, so help me out. Thanks.
[Click Android Development] apa1102:
maybe port from Wildfire(2.1 240x320) will be more easier?
[Click Android Development] marxo:
I'm not sure that it would work, but I'm willing to give it a try since nothing else is working.
