[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Here are my wp7 skins for swype keyboard I'd like to share with everyone. I've never made a skin for swype and you can see how many different things I've skined. With all the new wp7 phones coming out, I thought a wp7 themed keyboard skin would be a great starting place. I posted a few preview shots a few days ago and just finished them yesterday. I played with them all day and have found no problems(tp2). Please post if you have any problems! Let me know what you think of them. Enjoy..

They work in both portrait and landscape and are available with either a white or black background.

Instructions..

-Make sure you have swype previously installed.

-Install cab to the same directory you installed swype. example if swype is installed to storage card, install the skin to storage card.

-or copy contents of zip to swype directory (program files/swype)

-Soft-reset and your done

I have a WinPho7 now but was wondering is there anyway to place this skin over the normal HTC Sense keyboard on my TouchDiamond2?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
No sorry these will only work with swype at the moment. Its funny you ask because thats one of the 1st things I thought of when finishing these skins. I just wanted to wait for a little and see how much interest users show in this new style/layout before making others..it'd be a waste of time to make if no one would use. But i can see, with the increasing amount of downloads, thats not the case. I'll go ahead and start making the same wp7 themed skin for HTC's keyboard. Check back soon for screenshots..I'll post some as soon as they're available.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Abdul9.:
I have swype installed but these skins dont work no matter how i try it. I tried installing the cab and even also copied the data to the directory but none of these work. I have a hd2. Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Sorry to hear they're not working for ya. Maybe your running a different version of swype than I have on my device and thats causing the mix-up. Lets try this..Uninstall my skins and get swype keyboard back to default. Once back to default, copy and zip the contents of your swype directory and attach it here for me. I'll take a look into how different the contents/images of yours is from mine. They may just need to be renamed or something simple along those lines. I'll remake them for ya if need be.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Abdul9.:
Ok here it is. Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Ok I just checked the images in your swype folder and the keyboards are in a completely different layout than mine. I was hoping it was going to be an easy fix but looks like I'll have to start completely over to make my skins work with this yours as well. It also looks like there are 20 additional images included with your version that aren't in the one I'm using(almost twice as many). Please be patient with me..I'm working on several different projects right now so it'll take me a little but i will attach/share it as soon as its finished.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] puff601:
here are the swype files you requested lnando. thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Hi puff,

Just checked those files for ya and everything lines up correctly so my skins should work on your device. Where did you pull these files from? Maybe in energy's rom he put the swype files into a different directory than the usual install location(program files). Let me know where they need to go and which team you'd like and I'll recab it with the correct directory for ya. and so I can put instructions for energyrom users on 1st post

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverslotcar:
Wrong section. Needs to go in Q & A or you need to search for threads about recalibrating your battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyfffan:
I had the same problem with the battery, too. After an 8-hour sleeping, the battery ran out from 40% (before I slept).

Now I have my captivate lasts 3-4 days with slight use. (with 4-5 hours reading books, 2-3 hours surfing the Internet, 30 minutes playing Angry Birds...)

It seems the modem drains the most energy, everything you have to do is flashing a new ROM. I suggest using Tayutama 1.0.3 full (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=808763) which comes with JPM modem.

Do not use the Lite or Super Lite version. Because: 1. They don't have touchwiz, and without it the phone suchs. Can't figure out why so many people prefer ADW launcher or some terrible launchers like that. 2. The Super Lite has many errors, and the Lite drains more energy than the Full version.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jonjon1069:
Hi....I installed some apps from my G1 also. But the ones that depend on the market for update or rely on web interaction either won't install, force close or don't work quite right.

Man I sure hope that someone might tackle rooting this device soon. I think it has so much potential for being a useful device.

Rooting the Cruz Micro

Via tether its already rooted. Just adb shelled in and su works fine. So no rooting necessary as I understand it. However I am not a firmware guy so just my experience.

I did notice when I used Cruz Marketplace I got the option for Android Marketplace which has thousands of apps - not sure its Google's but worked well. One item to note is that the CPU in these is not an ARM but MIP's. It hasn't been a problem for me (if I am desperate I will just use a cross compiler to build something) but I have heard it caused issues on other forums for people.

Processor Information/Docs

I was in with ADB playing and got this from cat'ing procinfo.

system type : JZ4760

Hardware : PT701

processor : 0

cpu model : Ingenic Xburst V4.15 FPU V0.0

BogoMIPS : 527.56

wait instruction : yes

microsecond timers : no

tlb_entries : 32

extra interrupt vector : yes

hardware watchpoint : yes, count: 1, address/irw mask: [0x0fff]

ASEs implemented : mxu

shadow register sets : 1

VCED exceptions : not available

VCEI exceptions : not available

Googling Igenic will find their site for you. Notice the XBurst in the name. They have a lot of PDF's and information on their FTP site which the website links too. Unfortunately they have great detailed PDF's on the JZ4755 but nothing on the JZ4760. Had me wondering if they took a previous design and just customized a bit for the client.

I do realize of course that a LOT can change in even a small revision of a chip. Anyway - for the 4755 they have cross build tools, linux demos, board designs, nand and usbboot instructions etc.. Even the tool chains to build for the mip's.

Man this is the best XMas present my wife has got me in years :p

Android App Store App

The Cruz Marketplace (cruzmarket_com/mkt/mhome.asp) currently has a app listed 5th from the top as I am viewing it now called:

AndAppStore - Android Market Place App

FREE

This is how I installed mine, and it works like a charm. :D

I would love to find out if there is a way to port any of the existing ROMs to this device. The touchscreen is not responsive enough with the current firmware, but the keyboard is- that tells me there is the ability to increase responsiveness... other than that, the ability to run auto task killers would help because it looks like most apps stay resident and slow the device down considerably. Two problems that can be fixed by tweaking the firmware I believe- any developers out there with the desire to take this on?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GJSmith3rd:
I have one as well.

I really like the device even though other tablets are offering better features in low-end tablets. I checked Best Buy today and it was $169. I got it for $199 last week before CES. I have the 7 inch T10(x) series. The capacitive display is ok for me, its like getting to know a new friend. Lack of security, Android Market, and built in obsolescence of the OS are bummers.

Worst - a smart device that keeps all your stuff but doesn't even have simple password/PIN protection. Doh!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] geekgirl70:
Sorry to burst your bubble, but that app does NOT give you access to the true Android Marketplace. The Android Marketplace is a Google hosted site, and it has thousands of apps. The Android App Store has less than 2k apps, definitely missing some big important ones, like the Pandora app for Android.

There ARE hacks to get the Android Market for the Reader, but so far I've not found a hack for the Tablet (and yes, there IS a difference).

Good luck to the OP. If anyone comes across a hack for the Tablet, I would love to know.

Google Market on Cruz Velocity T410

OK so my son got the T410 for christmas, I've got it rooted and am working on a push for the google market and frameworks. Should have it pretty soon. I'll post it as soon as I do.

UPDATE:

I will go through this quickly as it was actually pretty easy. This is how I did it, I had no problems so I would not anticipate any, however standard disclaimer, I can't be held responsible for anything you do to your device, I am simply sharing my experience. What you choose to do is up to you. I didi this on the T410, but I would expect it to work the same on the T408

1. Rooted with gingerbreak and installed superuser and busybox over it (search for it)

2. Placed the app folder (found inside the gapps.zip attached to this post) on my internal sd card.

3. Installed the apps in this order:

I DID NOT OPEN ANY OF THESE APPS AFTER INSTALLATION, ONLY CHOOSE DONE AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE.

onetimeinitializer.apk

setup.apk

googleservicesframework.apk

gmail.apk

maps.apk

talk.apk

vending.apk

AFTER THE LAST ONE IS INSTALLED, I REBOOTED MY TABLET.

Upon reboot I let the tablet fully cycle the sd card checks and all that, once I swiped to unlock the home screen, I was met with a decision asking whether to use Launcher, of Setup Wizard to complete the action.

CHECK THE BOX TO USE ACTION AS DEFAULT AND CHOOSE LAUNCHER

4. I then opened the google market, signed in with my gmail account and once it had synced my device with the google servers (yes WIFI must be on and connected, I had to say it because you just never know) I had access to the market.

I have downloaded a few apps and have had no problems, it is an older version of the market and I don't have market updater installed, but I may try that later.

I have also noticed when looking in the account and sync area, it will sync my gmail, but not my contacts or calender, I will have to look at that later as well.

Hope this helps

Was Able to root my wife's T408 as well with gingerbreak and have market 3.3.4 running on it now.

First I installed apps in the order you did had done. The version of Market is dated for sure but I was able to update to 2.2.6 via the stock OI File Explorer. Anything later then that seemed to crash. I then used SU & File Explorer to r/w the /system/apps/ folder , moved the newer 3.3.4 Market APK there and installed from that location along with a system reboot. Once rebooted the new market showed up right away. Only issue is some apps list as not compatible with device but having my wife use her Sidekick 4g to download and back up the app and email it to her tablet Netflix , Firefox , and many others ran with no issue even with Market saying not compatible.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cjggilbert:
I have noticed that as well. Seems like since the Market added the ability for apps to be device specific that alot of apps don't show up for devices that aren't supported. I am playing a little with the build.prop file and when I get it correct I will let you know. Even root explorer would not show up in the market, but I purchased it from amazon and Im using it to drop apps into place.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MRB99:
Android Market - I used the JGM ROM, rooted with z4root, and had blank Market. Accessing market via laptop showed my Cruz listed, but no serial number. Gave up, but then by luck a week later, I went to the Market on my laptop, found an App and selected my Cruz as the device to download it to. 2 hours later, sure enough the Market was working, and that select app downloaded.

It almost seems like you have to prime the market first for the Cruz via a computer...

Cruz T410

I can only get Market 2.2.6 to work on mine no matter what guide I follow, tried like 3 already.

Also, when I try to install certain apps I get a msg about the SDK being older / lower version? An update would be awesome.

Another note, what is going on with the ICS update they are rumoring?

EDIT: Well, seems to accept Google Play 3.7.15 if you copy the .apk to /system/app and not installing it. I also installed MarketUpdater.apk and it fixed my shortcut, it now says Play :)

Only if it had a newer SDK...I could run Air Display and use it as a secondary monitor on my CarPC project!

I did edit the build.prop to reflect 10 and 2.3.3 but app crashes... anybody want to help me get this app running?

I have the Velocity Micro PS47. I've been playing with it as far as trying to get passed the security pattern. Well I was able to get passed that, but I keep getting this screen calibration error. I had also, discovered that there is a "download mode" like the G-tablet has. I believe if you hold down on the volume and power on, the screen will go black and then a different driver is being asked for install. I don't know if this helps anyone or not, but I would like to flash the tablet at least back to standard or stock rom. Thanks in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] m4f1050:
Don't waste your money on this tablet. They have better ones with ICS 4.0.3, USB, HDMI, custom ROMs and 10/100 ethernet! (i.e. Zenithink ZT-282 C91 for about $140'ish) and for $50 more you can get the C97 which is a dual-core 1.5Ghz version but doesn't have ethernet or USB.

I have the C91 and regret buying the Cruz T410..! It was all bull that Velocity Micro was working on an ICS update for the T4xx series tablet. I asked their customer support and they said they have no intentions in upgrading (of course, they are pushing their new T5xx series tables!)

A few years ago I ran a website and used this service for some tweaks I needed done. The coder I hired charged (if memory serves...) about 50.00, but it depends on how much work is needed. I would advice to become very familiar with how the site works...posting, taking bids, choosing a coder, etc. This was way before Android so I don't know if there are any android devs there or not. This isn't the only "hire-a-coder" site, either. But to my knowledge it's the only one that puts funds in an escrow account for safety. Good luck.

Samsung Galaxy S gets Froyo update in India.

http://www.indian-tech-news.com/samsung-galaxy-s-gets-froyo-update-in-india/4211/

Just updated my phone to Froyo.

After updating, phone running slow as compare to previous version.Have you experience this, please let me know.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] patrick_spd4u:
Do you use lagfix before updated to Froyo?

Yes, untouched froyo feels more laggy than eclair, but the custom froyo ROMs is really fast like the Doc's ROM or Tayutama ROM or Cognition ROM (Captivate) or ...etc

I recommend to update the kernel to the one with lagfix (ext4 or jfs), but I don't know which one is the best since I'm using the Samsung Captivate (AT&T version of Galaxy S, and the kernels are not excangeable between Captivate and i9000 Galaxy S)

Or, you also can use the custom froyo ROMs like I mentioned above..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] napster_doom:
No I did not use any Lag fix or such kind of software.

Also I am experiencing a bug in Samsung Kies, When I update my phone to latest software and again if I connect phone to Kies, it again gives me a notification of phone update to the latest firmware again and again.

Anyways, thanks for your suggestion.
