I just purchased a Viewsonic 10" G Tablet today. So far I'm loving it! Its priced at $379.99 Has a dual 1GHz processor by NVidia and 512Mb RAM with 16GB of flash memory. I did my research and found it to be the best bang for your buck once flashed.

Other than that, I'm also looking into probably buying one or two other tablets but at a cheaper price for Christmas gifts.

ok most .9's I have been able to modify (slightly) with good success in photoshop.

***edit, this has nothing to do with .9's as you can see in the second picture. wtf? this one has me stumped. can someone point me in the right direction? Ultimately I want to make the greys semi-transparent. thanks for the help
[Android Themes] britoso:
I think you're having issues because the PNG is indexed.

Don't know about photoshop, but in the gimp I just do a Image->Mode->RGB

To make stuff semi-transparent I simply change the layer opacity.

i.e a)cut/paste the needed areas onto a new transparent layer.

b)adjust the transparency of the new layer

c)merge layers/save as .png
[Android Themes] ogdobber:
essentially gimp is just an open source photoshop

tried changing to rgb...I think there is more to it than that...looks the same

I know how to change the trasparency, just not on this .png

[Nexus One General] degs:
This may be in the wrong forum so mods please feel free to move it.

I am at work and needed some images from my Nexus's camera that were stored on the microsd card. I didn't have my cable with me so I removed the card from teh phone and inserted it in the card reader port on my laptop to copy the images. When I opened the sd card I noticed that all folders belonging to android were gone. All downloads DCIM everything. Most files that are just on the sd card without a directory are untouched. I put the card back in my phone to check for sure and everything is gone.

I'm currently using a recovery tool to try to get back my images and videos.... Hopefully I don't lose too much.

I have no idea why this would happen. Does anyone have a clue what would cause this? I have never had any trouble using a microsd card from a phone in my computer before.

Any clue how/why this happened and how to prevent it in the future?

Thanks!

Odd that there's no PC app to download apks from the Market. I mean, I get that Android was *designed* to use the Market, but there's obviously a need for such a tool.
[Nook Color General] rabid_droid:
You can get (limited) Market access using the emulator in the Android SDK. I don't know the legal issues involved though, so I won't post direct links, but instructions are easy enough to find and are very trivial to follow.

As far as I know though, this method only works well on pre-2.1 (i.e.; 1.6) devices. On 2.1+, the hacked Markets I've tried are so incredibly limited, it's not even worth it (it seems like only the most esoteric apps are available). Using 1.6 though, you'll have access to ALL apps (even paid ones) that aren't designated as 2.1+. Probably 75-80% of the apps in the Market are written for all Android versions, so you'll only be missing out on a handful of useful ones (like launchers and browsers).

Wait, you use a Mac, you know nothing about phones, and you let someone else update your phone to a totally unsupported operating system? I'm not sure if you realize this, but in doing that, you just let your friend void your warranty.

As silverslotcar so kindly pointed out, you should start by reading this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989 and all of the other stickies in this Captivate Android Development forum.

If you're only wanting to go to Android 2.2 (Froyo), your only option in that thread is AdamOutler's UCKB2 Froyo 2.2 Heimdall One-click.

alright so im gonna do that. do i do the bootloader one or non boot loader
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
There is no such thing... only root and no root. This is because Heimdall requires one flash without BLs then you can reflash with BLs, no reason to have two different ones...

If Kies mini and USB drivers work on Mac, I would Odin 1-click back to stock Eclair(android 2.1), then work your way up with official updates to Froyo(android 2.2) When I help family/friends update their phones, I only use Factory builds. (no offense to devs) If this guy hasn't the foggiest clue about android, no sense in bombarding him with information overload about kernels, bootloaders, etc...

Hi guys. Hope I'm posting this in the correct place.

I came from Blackberry recently and did alot of alpha testing for Bellshare, developer of Berryweather and other apps. Berryweather is by far the best weather app for Blackberry bar none. I have looked at every Android weather app I can find and there are none that come close to Berryweather. I'm trying to talk the dev into making an Android weather app equivalent to Berryweather but don't think he'll do it.

I think there is a great opportunity for an Android developer to make a really nice functional weather app. Any takers?
[Android Software Development] Scarinzi:
No interest huh? That sucks.
[Android Software Development] mothy:
I came from Berry Weather and there are alot of weather apps that stack up.

What are you looking for that you dont see in android apps?
[Android Software Development] Scarinzi:
I've tried those and although they're decent apps they don't have alot of features Berryweather has.

Im used to many nice custom maps. Up to 10 locations. Customizable notifications with popup integration. Probably more I haven't thought of.
[Android Software Development] Diesel73:
I'm in the same boat. I purchased 3 weather apps for my android phone and none of them will reliably follow my location like berry weather did. Now don't get me wrong they advertise that their app will do it, it just doesn't. I will second porting berry weather to android. Would pay if someone took it on.

Hello,

I want to change to text color of the popup-menu from black to white.

Here's the reason why:

I changed the background graphics from white to black. So the text has to get white.

I just can't find a clue what file to edit.

Would be great if anyone could give a hint.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Themes] wallla:
Thank you so much.

Helps me a lot!
[Android Themes] sniffs:
Does this not work in the DX or something? I extracted my framework apk but dont have the value folder nor an styles.xml ??
[Android Themes] wallla:
To get the values folder it isn't enough to just unzip the apk.

You have to decompile it with APKTool. Then change the xml and compile it back.

However, I got problems with the latest version of the tool. My phone's stuck in a boot loop when compiling with it. The former version 1.3.1 works fine.

This issue is described here.

Also, you have to copy the Manifest file and the META-INF folder from the original framework apk to the new compiled one.
[Android Themes] wallla:
Oh, and another thing.

If you have a menu where you can click on a button named "More", this is what you get:

To make this text become white you have to change

<style name="Theme.ExpandedMenu" parent="@style/Theme">
<item name="listViewStyle">@style/Widget.ListView.Menu</item>
<item name="windowAnimationStyle">@style/Animation.OptionsPanel</item>
<item name="background">@null</item>
<item name="itemTextAppearance">?[COLOR="Red"]textAppearanceLargeInverse[/COLOR]</item>
</style>

to

<style name="Theme.ExpandedMenu" parent="@style/Theme">
<item name="listViewStyle">@style/Widget.ListView.Menu</item>
<item name="windowAnimationStyle">@style/Animation.OptionsPanel</item>
<item name="background">@null</item>
<item name="itemTextAppearance">?[COLOR="Red"]textAppearanceLarge[/COLOR]</item>
</style>

I think.
[Android Themes] Quipper2008:
Sorry guy,

but on this way i got the font in menu more not white.

Do you have any other idea to get the text in menu more white?
[Android Themes] wallla:
It doesn't work, if the textAppearanceLarge is black, too.

You can directly make it white via

<item name="itemTextAppearance">#ffffffff</item>

Thanks a lot Wallla, I've been trying to figure this out (expanded menu > white text) for a few weeks now! :)
[Android Themes] tnpapadakos:
so after doing that, how's your menu>settings>sound working...does it open?

i did this on my rom (cm 6.1 d/s) and menu is black with white text, expanded menus are black with white text, but certain things are force closing due to a layout error...

Im on a cm6.2 rom for the eris and i think im missing somthing or not doing somthing, i got the menu to work going into styles.xml and i changed

<item name="textColor">?textColorPrimaryInverse</item>

to

<item name="textColor">@color/bright_foreground_dark</item>

to get the text to show and than i changed

And that got the virtical divider to show. now it all looks great but widgets, widget settings, settings and anything like that fc's, so am i missing somthing? Ohh and im using apk manager
[Android Themes] wallla:
Now, that you mention apkmanager...

What version of APKTool are you two using? (APKManager is also only using APKTool, in the inside).

Like I described in post #5: With the newest version of APKTool I also have problems. My device even didn't boot up any more.

Try to use version 1.3.1.
[Android Themes] Skyllos:
im using the vs you post a few pages back

Edit: ohh i didnt realize apk manager is using apktools, which version of ApkTools is in the Apk Manager folder?

Update: i changed ApkTool in the apk manager folder for version 1.3.1 and that created a bootloop
[Android Themes] ACD168:
I'm trying to do this on a sense ROM a I had the menu background black at one time but had the same text problem I want to try and see if this will work but I can't for the life of me remember how I changed the menu background to black do you guys have any ideas? thanks in advance!
[Android Themes] wallla:
I never used apkmanager. But I could guess additionaly to building the apk, it also compresses the PNGs, zipaligns everything and signs it.

I think I read about some of that stuff doesn't go well with system-files.

So, in conclusion, I would advise you to make a build just with apktool. It's really easy to use.

Oh, and don't forget to copy/overwrite the Manifest file and the META-INF folder from the original framework apk to the new compiled one, as I already wrote in post #5.

It's a nine-patch-png file.

I just re-did it again with just apktool instead, And its still the same issue. It looks great menu works but trying to open settings up on anything FC's
