[HD7 General] Jim Chapman:
It's just a different way of thinking about storage, that's all. To improve security, and reduce the risk of a bad app trashing your phone, Microsoft adopted a model where pretty much everything operates in a 'sandboxed' mode. You are not meant to share data between apps on the phone (except using copy-paste :) ).

If you're coming to WP7 from Android, (or from WM6) that model is going to seem strange, but it doesn't make the phone unusable. You just need to get used to the idea that each app will have its own preferred cloud location(s) for keeping its data. So for media, it's Zune; for MS Office it's SkyDrive or SharePoint, etc.

And third-party apps can provide their own choice of locations (so for example, among the book-reader apps, Freda offers you SkyDrive or DropBox, Bookviser lets you chose between SkyDrive or a dedicated Bookviser cloud store ... ).

Now of course if you prefer to think of your phone as a mass-storage device, WP7 won't suit you, and you should use a different OS (or unlock your WP7 phone if you must).

is there n64 emulator for android ?
[G Tablet General] Kangal:
Its apparently in the works by zodtt and yonghz (the same guys that did psx4droid).

I remember that it was supposed to be released before the end of this year.

Yeah Zodtt told me when he was still developing psx4droid, that his next project would be VLC4droid (the popular opensource linux media player) and then the n64 emulator.

He told me the n64 source has been refined several times more than the psx source so he expected it to run much smoother (in general) than psx4droid.

I'm guessing he is sort of busy/lazy at the moment and just taking a break.

I know for sure psx4droid will remain on v1.7 for at least 6months from now.

If zodtt's going to make vlc player, he would need to distribute his source under GPL laws. This is something zodtt does not want to do because he wants to charge people for his apps (understandable).

It may be realistic to expect a launch of n64droid around Feb 2011.

Does anyone know what XML is responsible for the pop-up menu text color?

See screenshot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJZager:
I'm pretty confident it is in framework-res.apk, beyond that I am not sure.

+1 to this
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groovdafied:
In all honesty, I don't think you answered his question...but good try (I think). He's referring to the XML file within that APK you mentioned that is responsible for the text colors in the homescreen menu options.

I still have to practice how to swap icons. I just want to change the spinning icon...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJZager:
You're right, I am pretty confident that I didn't answer his question. The only reason to believe that the xml is in framework-res.apk is the fact that the icons and menu_background are also in framework-res.apk. I have found that although the icons are there, doesn't necessarily mean that the layout/colors/etc. are controlled by that apk.

For example, if you open com.htc.resources.apk you will find a ton of icons associated with the HTC Sense Dialer, but the color & layout are stored in phone.apk and HtcDialer.apk separately. I say all that to say this, I am pretty confident that you are looking for /res/values/styles.xml or maybe /res/values-hdpi/styles.xml in a decompiled framework-res.apk but 1) can't be sure that this is the correct xml to edit or 2) that the text color is even an xml edit.

So again, +1 to wanting to know how the text color is changed.

Hi, i just got the i9000B and for what i know i can not flash most roms here since i have a diferent phone, at least with diferent frequencies but today i came across a rom for my phone, one month newer...

the file was in a ZIP with SS_DL.dll and a tar with: cache.rfs dbdata.rfs factoryfs.rfs modem.bin param.lfs zImage

and it got me wondering, can i flash just this (modem.bin) alone or not plus one of this ROMs and keep my 3G bands?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ticiano:
Do you have the original ROM packed in a way you can put it back by Odin in case of trouble?

I'd never try anything related to alternative ROMs without this.

I'm brazilian too, but my SGS is international, i9000... man, I "semi-bricked" this phone 3 or 4 times till I got it like I want. I tested a lot of crazy things with new kernels, ROM+Kernel combinations and different lagfix solutions... this things can give you a heart atack even if you have the original ROM installable by Odin. I messed with the IMEI verification too... my SGS started to send SMS to everybody in my contact list telling I was a criminal and stoled a smartphone. :D Now I'll pay for I don't know how many calumnious SMS!!! :D

I'd preffer to play russian roulette instead of trying any kind of mod in my SGS without a very trusted copy of the original ROM packed in a way that I could send it back using Odin.

for what i saw inside the files, the B seems to be to all latin america, my GF is from buenos aires, small country i guess :P

BTW a couple of cuestions:

1) in odin you put the tar file in PDA and nothing else or you extract it?

2) were you able to use a B rom in you international version?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ticiano:
In PDA you put the tar file to flash a kernel... I did it when I flashed the speed kernel.

I dont wanna try to use B ROMs in i9000... I had enought troubles flashing especific ROMs for the exact model! :D

I'm looking for the social hub application that is on the European versions, and was supposed to be on the american ones and is on the galaxy s phones.

[Galaxy Tab General] cafcwest:
I am very excited to see all the great work that has been done to achieve voice+data on the AT&T Galaxy Tab (and T-Mobile). I am a VZ customer, and have been for 6+ years. I was hoping to pickup a VZ GT, and be able to use voice on it (at some point), but going to the AT&T store tonight and playing with a GT has made me far too impatient to wait. I want my GT now!

Leading into my question..

As I have no relationships with AT&T, I have no idea their plans, pre-pay options, etc., not to mention what will work best for the GT. I want to know what is the best way to setup a plan and get a SIM that I am going to be able to use in an AT&T device to achieve voice+data.

Thank you, and I hope forthcoming answers will be of assistance to all the others out there like myself!
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
Need more info. How heavy do u use internet? 250MB is $25+voice plan i believe, 39.99.
[Galaxy Tab General] cafcwest:
Fairly heavy, and I can only see it going up with the GT. The voice - not a ton. Something like 200 minutes per month. I doubt that wold be increasing.
[Galaxy Tab General] cafcwest:
After reading around, I think the best solution for me is going to be:

AT&T Galaxy Tab

SIM Unlock

Voice Hack

Simple Mobile $60/mo plan for 'unlimited everything'/
[Galaxy Tab General] TurckBoatTruck:
Don't know if this is apparent from their website, but Simply Mobile is a T-Mobile reseller, so you won't get 3G data from them... only EDGE.
[Galaxy Tab General] cafcwest:
For my needs right now, I think EDGE is going to be ok.

As this is a device I "want", but dont have to "have", I can take some time and keep looking for a better way to make this work the way I want though.
[Android Software Development] papillon81:
Hi,

I just did my first steps in Android programming. And what is better to learn by improving something that you dislike?

So I changed a very tiny thing: the SMS/MMS app's "Send" button.

It now shows from the beginning the remaining letters of an SMS. All this appears on the "Send" button now (below the "Send", just like the text when you send an MMS).

I put a screenshot of before/after into the attachment, so please take a look and tell me what you think. Does this make sense? Should I make something of this configurable? Any further suggestions?

I did this primarily to learn a bit about Android, but now I'd like to go further. So any comment welcome :)

My thanks go to olearyp from the CM IRC channel :)

Cheers

Chris
[Android Software Development] drod2169:
Love it! Big help, for sure. Is it for the black background mod/CM MMS app?
[Android Software Development] olearyp:
I've looked at the patch, and it should require minimal massaging to apply to irrenhaus-based messaging apps. Most of the actual message entry code appears to be unchanged or nearly so from the AOSP version.
[Android Software Development] papillon81:
Message code is indeed completely unchanged.

I'd like to know if you think that I should add preferences for this like enable/disable it or configure the number of letters before it kicks in. But maybe that would be too much for such a tiny feature.

EDIT:

Now I see what you mean with black background mod: The thing that is on my mobile and enables me to activate a "fullscreen" keybord which disables the "remaining letters" display completely. I'll rebase my changes against CM sources. They are currently against the original ones.

Thanks for the feedback so far!

Cheers

Chris
[Android Software Development] papillon81:

[Android Software Development] Caelte:
Can you implement an option that let's you choose with which app you want to send the sms, when pressing the send button or the button for new message?

I use websms for sending sms, but want to use the stock sms app for reading. It's a bit annoying to go back to homescreen and than open the websms app everytime.

Best implementation would be that when you press new message it just asks, if you want to use stock sms app or websms (if installed). For the send button in the message threads it would be nice that it asks and when websms is chosen, it copies the typed text and the recepient to websms (if possible).
[Android Software Development] papillon81:
Well, the best option would be to use the stock SMS app for reading and writing and supply different backends so that you can send SMS via your provider as well as via an internet service.

The patch is still in review, so if you like it, comment on reviewboard, too :-)

[General Questions and Answers] Unit ZER0:
I have been up one side of the forums and down the other, and I still cannot find a solution. I have a Dell Axim X51v, running LennySH's WM6.1 A07 Beta 3 ROM, and I wanted to add a startup animation to replace the current splash screen. Currently, the screen displays the usual "Dell" screen, then The Windows Mobile 6.1 screen, then the password login. After logging in, the screen again displays the Windows Mobile 6.1 screen, then displays the desktop, after which point the other programs start, and the system releases to user control. I have attempted to load a startup animation, by creating the correct registry keys, and loading the required DLL's and .gif files into my "Windows" directory, but still no luck. What am I doing wrong?
[General Questions and Answers] jm017@msn.com:
re:startup animation

I found a way to do this on my xv6700 thru this forum. You can try and see if it works for you. You will need two tools. Schaps advanced configuration tool and Non-htc gif animation, If you have trouble finding it I will see if I can provide a link.
[General Questions and Answers] Unit ZER0:
Got the .GIF... Now What?

Thanks for the pointers. I've created a fullscreen GIF to my specifications, and it already plays on my device, using my imaging program. I tried to find that configuration tool, and I found the developers thread... all 47 pages of it. I'm kinda stumped as to where to go from here.
[General Questions and Answers] janeli:
looking around
[General Questions and Answers] jm017@msn.com:
You need to install BootPackage_v1.2_nonHTCbeta just google it exactly as I entered it and you'll find an xda with it. Install this and advanced configuration tool v3.3. Once installed open config tool, go to splash screen. Pick a background(jpg) for carrier and ms splash on start-up. Then go to htc animation, make sure animation says enabled. Pick a gif file for gif file: and start-up gif file. Pick animation speed. Try about 50 and adjust from there. Click done and reboot and hopefully you will see your gif followed by the splash. Good luck as I am not real familiar with your phone.

It Works!!

Followed your suggestions, and, with a little work, got it working. Thanks for the pointers.

Hey guys,

Here's my problem that has been getting progressively worse over the last few weeks. My phone is fully rooted with adb unlocked and I have had that done since I originally purchased the phone in June. I really had no issues no matter what Rom/Kernal I used until the last month and a half. Since then, my phone seems to have episodes where it will restart at random times whether on a phone call, on the net, or just idle. I've tried different kernals, undervolting, stock volt, and a hundred different roms with similar results. Anyone have any idea what to make of this? I have noticed that this DOES NOT occur while in Recovery or before getting to Android so I don't think it's a hardware issue. I always wipe data/cache/dalvik before using a Rom and I'm not a noob by any means. I have done everything that came to mind when initially troubleshooting this issue, but I'm out of ideas. Hopefully someone that's a bit more advanced than I am can come up with some possibilities. Thanks guys, I really appreciate any and all feedback!

Why don't you use one of eugenes kernels? Seem to work fine on most 2.2 roms.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Dan_Brutal:
The core kernels only work with 2.1 roms.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] explodingboy70:
Yeah like the last poster said the core kernels were/are for 2.1. If your registered at TW website they have a 1.2 ghz kernel in the forums. Brahma. Im not sure we have a perfectly stable fully operational 1.2 kernel yet. TW hasn't done anything with Brahma in a little while and Eugene has pulled some of his. If you're using Axura I would just use the voodoo kernel in the OP for now. I have been all week and its pretty solid. Good performance and battery.
[HTC Aria General] AmourNoMore:
I've seen plenty of threads in which the Sense lockscreen is made transparent, but I was wondering if there is a background file for the actual unlock pattern screen that I could replace with a transparent png or something.

I noticed that froyo and cyanogen both have a transparent background, but not Sense. I already searched all of the previous threads and found nothing on this.

I still want to stay with Sense, so don't tell me to just switch to a different ROM.

I'm running the liberated ROM.

Thanks a lot.

I then tried it in Rom Manager, it ran for like 2 seconds, I rebooted and voila! (nothing). Anyone have any ideas?

Ok, so I've spent the past, idk, lot of days looking for good solutions to this, but haven't found any.

I can't get Phone Canvas Enhancement to work properly. After researching and experimenting to find its dependencies, I got it to work, but not well.

I'm using Phone Canvas Enhancement from the Rhodium 2.07 ROM in combo with sense 2018 from leo 3.14.

It looks fine... have fixed overlap and all of those things.

However, I can call one person, say my friend bob, just fine. But if I try to call anyone else after that, it will only call Bob. No one else ever.

Is this because I've had to mix and match packages from leo 3.14 and rhod 2.07 to get sense AND dialer working(ish)?

Is there a work around? And if not, could someone help me get the leo dialer working properly? I can't get it to load whatsoever :(

[Focus General] Aaron McCarthy:
My wife went from the Iphone 3G to the Focus about 2 or so weeks back.... a few days after the new windows phones were released. I myself have a tilt 2 but was ready for an upgrade. We went in to look at the new phones and at that time they didnt know about the BOGO offer that was coming up for Black friday (and presumably running through out the holidays). She went ahead and got her phone. Today we went in and asked if we could still get the free phone. As she was still in the 30 day grace period we figured it wouldn't be an issue. Sure enough.... a quick call to the manager and I had the phone in my hand. The only extra I paid for was the Zag Shield.

I'm not sure WHAT had to be done to get it. Whether you needed to add another line etc but since we already had 4 lines on our family plan we had decided to add my mom on for her Christmas. We told him we wanted to add a new line as well although he didnt actually tie the new Focus to that new line, and it didnt get tied to my number yet either. I'm not sure but I do think you need to start a new line (which luckily enough we already planned on doing) to get the BOBO deal with AT&T. He seemed to imply I could get it for free too by using my upgrade status which was also open from the original purchase of the Fuze 2 years ago.

I figure if in the new year they release some newer cooler phones (ie one with the same size screen but has a keyboard) I'll use my upgrade for that and sell the Focus off.

So anyone who did get their focus (or any other windows phone for that matter) early and wants to go in to get their free phone go and and schmooze and you'll be walking out with the second phone in your hand!

Good Luck!
