[Android Themes] disastercow:
hey people.

I've rooted my wildfire with cyanogenrom 6.1 and i want to try some new themes.

The problem is that every theme i find for cyanogen dont work on 6.1 i have only found one, and its the prototype/pink theme. iIs there a thread for a list of themes or something?

Also, when i install the themes, should i do it in recovery with the theme renamed to update.zip? or should i use theme injector?

And i've downloaded theme injector but i dont really know how to use it :( because im supposed to get a new rom named "themed.romname.zip" right? i get 2 files one called rom and the other one theme:(

if i get all that working, do i have to wipe/restore to use the new theme?

/Dc

Is it possible? And i so how?

(I know there are alternatives, but just curious)

On stock Vibrant you have 7 home screens. You can decrease the number and add them back later, but I don't know of a way to go beyond 7 screens. See p. 21 in the manual:

Thank you for the reply but im asking about the stock android launcher like the nexus one has..

If we currently had access to the notification bar, we wouldn't need softkey apps, right?

My question is: Is there something we can edit that reports a resolution/size less than fullscreen (a size that will show the bottom bar)?

-A.

I'd like to second this inquiry. If somebody could work their Wizarding Awesome Sauce then I would be much obliged.
[Nook Color General] devis:
I don't have any coding experience at all but if I understand this correctly we're looking for two distinct screens within one LCD, both part of the same Android OS, both able to talk to each other, both able to control each other. Essentially something along the lines of a Windows status bar with the start button and everything else.

I'd say this is definitively doable, what is going to present a huge, maybe impossible challenge, is that software written for actual computers takes the Windows bar in account when maximizing the screen. Software that covers the whole scren, such as games, take in account two other constants, the Windows key and CTRL+ALT+DEL. Since we don't have these constant we're stuck with what we've got... and the NC isn't a massively mainstream device to prompt someone to get to work.

It is not really named that, but I named it such:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=300492182439&view=all&tid=498928117020

Ordered one to try out. I want something to have a better control for games and Flash content, but VERY portable. This KB will fit in the zip pouch of my slim Case Logic soft case. Not expecting much, but $19 gamble.

Reports are the battery lasts quite awhile, but that assumes the model I get is what others have....

Was thinking to find a new BT Keyboard with mouse, trackball, JKey... But seems that this one disappeared from ebay... hope you are lucky and got the last one...
[G Tablet Accessories] Hoplon:
Can you post a pic of what this actually looks like? I'd like a small bt keyboard with the emphasis on small since it's something that I wouldn't use all the time but wouldn't mind keeping in my case for when I do.
[G Tablet Accessories] dkhilo:
I'm considering one as well. Been looking at this one as it looks like it also has a mouse control built into the upper right hard corner. On the TNT Lite build, so mouse support isn't there yet, but hopefully it will. It's close enough in price to the others to be a great value. Even comes with it's own case.

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.48849

I really do want something with a full size keyboard though, with a case and BT. Something like this, but for the GTab.

I purchased this Gear Head USB Mini Touchpad keyboard from Fry's for $29. I wanted to go wireless but since anytime using the tablet you have to be close to it, I figure I can save some money with the USB version.

The keymapping works perfectly.

Home key = Android home button

Windows key = Android menu button

Escape key = Android back button

Cursors keys = Android up, down, left and right

The touchpad works as any other mouse used with your G-Tablet. It's also multitouch. The keyboard volume keys, located above the touchpad, also work. It even has NumLock and CapsLock light indicator. The keyboard is 0.5 inch wider than the tablet.

Here's their website : http://www.pcgearhead.com/keyboards.php
[G Tablet Accessories] spazlon:
@marianosf, what ROM are you running? CM6? I just got my GTab today and am going to put TNTLite on it as soon as I get home but would like a ROM with keyboard and mouse support (I don't know if all of them support wired or not).
[G Tablet Accessories] marianosf:
Congrats on your new tablet :). I'm using. the VEGAn-Tab ROM.
[G Tablet Accessories] rushless:
Do not have it yet, but several pics in the eBay link I posted :)

I wanted something that fits in the Case Logic front zip pouch. I hope it also works with USB cable and not just blue tooth.

The keyboard below seems interesting, but would not fit in the pouch.
[G Tablet Accessories] sharpfork:
How do you like the size of the keyboard? I had a netbook I loved but sold because my bear paw hands couldn't deal with the mini keys.

Do you use the track pad often? I assumed I'd jut touch the screen when I needed to navigate.

I have an Apple keyboard I like and have been looking at this cheepo wire knock off.

I'm too n00b to post links I guess. dealextreme DOT com search for the sku "48597" - $18.60
[G Tablet Accessories] marianosf:
@sharpfork . My keyboard keys are way smaller than a regular netbook's. If you look at the picture you can see that the trackpad takes away precious space. When I type I can feel my fingers too close together :(. I think I will return it and get one without the trackpad. Like you mentioned I can just touch the screen when navigating :D

The keyboard from dealextreme looks nice $$$, a black one would be perfect.
[G Tablet Accessories] sharpfork:
marianosf

i just ordered a well reviewed but cheepo keyboard from newegg. I'm still too n00b to post urls so search for SIIG JK-US0312-S1 Black USB Mini. I'll post some info when i get it. i might try to make some sort of case around it if time allows.
[G Tablet Accessories] sharpfork:
I picked it up for $14.99 last night. The price is back up to $24.99 this morning.
[G Tablet Accessories] rushless:
I got my Mini Me in. The device has a slightly smaller footprint to my Incredible (KB is taller, same width, but thinner depth than Incredible).

Good news:

For $18 delivered, it is a good build, light but sturdy, good key action and nice bluetooth range. It fits (and then some) in the Case Logic pouch and comes with a pouch, USB cable and stand. IMO, very good package product for the price.

Bad news:

It works with all devices I have tried except the Gtablet. The G sees it and a PIN window pops up and I enter "0000", but the devices fail to pair.

My guess is the this is due to me using TnT 2.40 and not Vegan.... correct?

Attached a pic that is a little dark and was upside down when I took it (hence the date is upside down). Servces the function though of showing size and KB layout. Nice keyboard, IMO. Fits perfect hold holding with two hands- easy to use thumbs to control games.
[G Tablet Accessories] weedahoe:
rushless, I like the KB as it looks perfect. It reminds me of my old xv6800 KB. Too bad it wont pair.
[G Tablet Accessories] rushless:
If I knew the Vegan rom would work, I may try it, but really like the stability of TnT 2.4.... bluetooth or not.
[G Tablet Accessories] e-motion:
You need to enter the pin on the keyboard then enter while it's trying to pair ;)
[G Tablet Accessories] rushless:
I tried that with 0000 and 1234. At least I get the following message on the Gtablet when pressing "enter" on the micro keyboard "Paired but not connected"

Sad how something so basic does not work.
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
ahh that takes me back to my pre android-fight with the damned thing-and still didn't work days.. but i still kinda miss it..

[G Tablet Accessories] insight3fl:
I got my BT board to work on tnt light (2.00) using the program BlueInput. I have installed the enable alternative keyboard mod, but it works without that by default once it paired and connected to "Blueinput". No mouse support though it see it and pairs with it... but tablet does not use it.

The other option I have working is to pick up a mini BT dongle. I use the belkin which has linux support. I plug it in and press the discover button on it and then put my keyboard in discover mode and then just randomly press several keys and it pairs and works fine
[G Tablet Accessories] rushless:
I found and installed the app. It connects fine now, but no keys are recognized by actions. The Gtablet makes a sound for each key I press, but no output whn typing.

V's OEM for the the firmware and Tap UI should all be taken faaaaaar away from any further software efforts. They truly suck.
[G Tablet Accessories] insight3fl:
i tried it again this morning and had the same problem....must have worked on my prior install. I did confirm again the use of my BT dongle.....typed an email with it this morning....sorry for the false start.
[G Tablet Accessories] rushless:
At least it pairs now and sees the key presses (kind of) :)

This appears to be due to the inability to choose other input options. Again, the Tap UI and OEM devs should not be allowed near hardware again.
[G Tablet Accessories] RojasTKD:
Well. I just picked up a Logitech K800 wireless illuminated keyboard for my new laptop (Asus G73JW-A1). It comes with a small USB dongle that is ment to be left in the laptop/computer.

See here:

http://www.logitech.com/en-us/keyboards/keyboard/devices/7288

Just for kicks I tried it on my g tablet it at worked great. Of course this is that probable and to big to carry around with the g tablet.

Maybe a small keyboard with a USB dongle will work. Like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Mini-Bluetooth-...63?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item4aa6ed4ae3

I just bid one one... So maybe I'll find out ihow it works.
[G Tablet Accessories] 3pod:
I just tried this with VegaN b3 and no luck. I can connect a BT mouse but no cursor shows up. Similar to past attempts without this app.
[G Tablet Accessories] insight3fl:
Well... I had three different tablets at the same time last month, Odroid T, ZT 180 and the Viewsonic.... I was using this set up on all three along with the BT dongle I mentioned and I thought that I had it working with the Gtablet.... I guess it was the other two devices and I was only using the BT dongle on the G..... Sorry about that!
[G Tablet Accessories] rushless:
Standard USB keyboards work fine with TnT 2.4.

As far as blue tooth USB dongle keyboards, if they emulate standard USB input, they should work fine. No different from USB in that regard.

Wish I thought of that before getting the bluetooth (non-dongle) version.
[G Tablet Accessories] insight3fl:
The dongle is cheap....under $5 on line and about 10 retail comp usa store
[G Tablet Accessories] marti766:
LRiley,

happen to know if the Rii mini works with the gtablet?
[G Tablet Accessories] insight3fl:
Rush,

I just used the alternative keyboard mod from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=856476&highlight=alternative+keyboard

and moved the Blueinput apk to the /system/data folder , rebooted and I can now select it as the keyboard. (even when I go back and select tnt both still work!) And I also paired my mogo bluetooth mouse and while there is no cursor and it is pretty sensitive, mouse works! (I am on tnt light 2.00)
[G Tablet Accessories] rushless:
I will try, after Roebeet posts 3.0 ;) Thanks.
[G Tablet Accessories] insight3fl:
You are welcome... I may even be ready to update.. I have been stubborn since my 2.00 has been working perfect for me with all my apps, exchange server settings. No FC rarely!
[G Tablet Accessories] rushless:
2.4 is just as stable and faster. Even if you do not go to 3.0, 2.4 is a worthy update.

I am taking the same position for 3.0, since will wait to see if stabilty is compromised with the new stuff in the update.

Roeby already found that Angry Birds needs to be purged, or no Seasons add-on action. Hoping that 3.0 is is just as stable :)
[G Tablet Accessories] prscott1:
connect bluetooth keyboard without an app

FYI - you can connect and use any standard bluetooth keyboard from any Android device including the gtab without using blueinput or keypro. (those are great apps when specialized drivers are needed like for a virtual keyboard).

First, pair the keyboard. Turn Bluetooth on from the settings and scan for devices. Activate your keyboard or turn it on (make sure it is in discovery mode). When prompted, enter a pin (e.g., 1234) and then type exactly the same pin on the keyboard and press enter. You should then see that it is paired but not connected.

Download these bluetooth tools and copy the three files to /system/xbin using adb push.

prscott@golf2nut:~/Android/bin$ adb push hciconfig /system/xbin/hciconfig
prscott@golf2nut:~/Android/bin$ adb push hcitool /system/xbin/hcitool
prscott@golf2nut:~/Android/bin$ adb push hidd /system/xbin/hidd

then from within a shell, set permissions on the files.

prscott@golf2nut:~/Android/bin$ adb shell
# chmod 4755 /system/xbin/hciconfig
# chmod 4755 /system/xbin/hcitool
# chmod 4755 /system/xbin/hidd

To test that your binaries are working, you can type hciconfig and it will show you something like the following including the MAC address of your bt radio.

# hciconfig
hci0:	Type: UART
BD Address: 00:1A:13:0F:88:12 ACL MTU: 1021:6 SCO MTU: 64:1
UP RUNNING PSCAN
RX bytes:14752 acl:325 sco:0 events:729 errors:0
TX bytes:4851 acl:33 sco:0 commands:263 errors:0

Then use the hcitool to get the MAC address of your keyboard (you only have to do this once).

# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
00:07:61:4B:D7:CE	Logitech diNovo Keyboard

once you know the MAC address of the keyboard you want to connect, create a little script (I use gscript for ease of use) that connects the device using the hidd binary. then verify you are connected.

# hidd --connect 00:07:61:4B:D7:CE
# hcitool con
Connections:
< ACL 00:07:61:4B:D7:CE handle 12 state 1 lm MASTER

Voila. you don't have to change input device or anything - you can use the bt keyboard interchangeably with the soft keyboard.

Hope this helps.

Anyone Try any of these:

http://efo.buy-lowest.com/keyboard-mouse-touchpad-c-77

I am actually going to be buying the EFO Mini multitouch wireless (not bluetooth) to use at work and home.....so when I get my g-tablet I will let you guys know how it works.

but they have a few mini bluetooth ones that ya all might be interested in.
[G Tablet Accessories] insight3fl:
Can this also work with a BT mouse such as my Mogo mouse? Also silly question. how do you run the "script" and is the last section of code you posted the text of your script or your test to see if it is connected?

Thanks
[G Tablet Accessories] prscott1:
You can run the script manually from within a terminal session or download GScript from the market and save/store it in there and run it. I use Gscript to run my frequently used scripts.

Gscript provides a nice GUI list of saved scripts plus gives options to save to sdcard or pull from sdcard.

I think for your bt mouse - you can just pair it and use it. At least my bt mouse works after pairing through the settings.
[G Tablet Accessories] insight3fl:
Last Question Prescott, what ROM are you using for this setup. Many of us are on tnt lite... and I am even still on 2.00!
[G Tablet Accessories] rushless:
How about being a bud and getting with Roeby to perhaps add this to a future update?
[G Tablet Accessories] prscott1:
I am currently on the Vegan b3 but this works for all of my android devices (even my old G1). :)

I have some standard setup I do after flashing a new ROM which includes copying my own "bin" items which include these three binaries. So far, I've been lucky that they always work with my standard BT keyboards. I do have a Virtual Keyboard that required me to buy the KeyPro app so that I had options and control over certain functions on it and it works great.
[G Tablet Accessories] prscott1:
Hey rush, I'm a "bud-dette" (batting eyelashes now). Roebeet is very welcome to add these binaries to his build - I found them on line a while back but don't remember where or I would give the credit reference. There is probably a way to auto connect these type of devices as well once it is paired but it would require changing the hcid.conf or main.conf in the bluetooth folder. I had a similar issue with an ubuntu build I was using and was able to rectify that problem.

I'm currently working on building my own 2.2.1 ROM for my N1 (for the fun of it). I've built several arm rootfs distros of ubuntu that I run on my zt180 pad and on my N1 - so now trying my hand at building Android OS. :D

So much fun!
[G Tablet Accessories] oogsaggie:
That would be exceptional!
[G Tablet Accessories] rushless:
Thanks bud-dette! Roeby is always open to things that add more goodness to the package :) Please send him a note, at your convenience.

update:

Roeby is working on an update before heading out for a few days- perhaps contact him now? ;) :)
[G Tablet Accessories] prscott1:
Will do! I'll see if he will add these binaries to the /system/xbin .
[G Tablet Accessories] dtr145r:
does anyone have the android.apk that comes on the cd?

its not on mine and it wont pair on my phone

thanks.
[G Tablet Accessories] Mrwoodchuck:
Hi prscott1

Im having some troubles with getting the keyboard to work right with your tools.

The hciconfig works fine and i get a good output, but hcitool and hidd just reply with the same info that hciconfig gives me.

I did get the address for my keyboard from windows, but hidd does not work right.

Im using tnt lite 4.10

any tips?

thanks
[G Tablet Accessories] astevens54:
Did you get is to work?
[G Tablet Accessories] prscott1:
Hi Mrwoodchuck, I don't have my pad with me to double check the syntax/scripts I suggested earlier. Can you post your terminal output when you issue these commands? I'll see if I can spot the problem?
[G Tablet Accessories] rushless:
Nope. Still on TnT Lite (4.21).
[G Tablet Accessories] usafle:
I just picked up mine and it the APK crashes on both the G-Tablet (TnT Lite 4.22) and it also crashes when attempting to run it on my Nexus One.

A word of caution

I was looking for a small keyboard to carry around and bought this keyboard on your recommendation.

I've been running VEGAn beta 5.1.1 since it was released with absolutely no problems. I also have the Malata dock for our gTab. I plugged in this keyboard to the dock, rebooted my gTab. Now I get a google service process acore error having to force close every 1 to 5 seconds.

I've tried to reboot without the gTab being on the dock and without the keyboard. Still the error popups keep coming up every 1 to 5 seconds.

I've booted into ClockworkMod and cleard all user data, cleared cache, cleared dalvik cache, reflashed VEGAn b5.1 and then reflashed VEGAn b5.1.1 update.

Tried the keyboard again. Now it works great and my gTab is running like it used to before all this started.

Thought some folks may be interested about my experience in case they see the same thing when they try this or any other usb keyboard.
[G Tablet Accessories] kodakeos:
OMG it WORKS!! Totally fixed my Xoom keyboard with the Gtab!! THANK YOU!!!
[G Tablet Accessories] thisonelies:
I'm one of the 10k+ Wootablers. Never used Android before or, for that matter, any device with apps. If I get the BT KB from post #4 with the attached mouse (and assuming I can figure out how to connect to my gTab) can I use the mouse like a normal mouse on Windows? i.e. will I have a mouse cursor over the Android GUI which I can move over an app icon and click like on a Windows desktop? If not, what function would a mouse serve? I'm primarily interested in its function in an internet browser.

Background:

I've bought the dock through it2steve's website, electroniccrap dot com, and am trying to work out the logistics of making my gTablet into my portable HTPC (oxymoronic?).

Any suggestions from the more initiated? Which is everyone one of you.

EDIT: I'd prefer to be on Calkulin's 1.1 ROM because of the outstanding reviews, but if another has more mouse functionality I may be persuaded.
[G Tablet Accessories] prscott1:
Calkulin's ROM works fine for me - I am able to connect my bt keyboard and mouse using the method I described earlier in this thread.

HTH.
[G Tablet Accessories] miguelblaze23:
Hey prscott1,

I would not have been able to connect my bt keyboard if you hadn't blazed the trail; i was using those apps, which turned out to be a huge pain, as it seems that you aluded to. I learned a little about using the terminal from your post, thanks for that as well. In fact, instead of using an ssh, i just used a terminal emulator, went to root, and went about the "hidd --connect" business; worked like a charm.

having said all that, I have been having some minor glitches/bugs with the bt connection between the kb and the gtab, perhaps you could assistify and helpignate me. The kb has a habit of spamming keys and/or just dismounting after some minutes of heavy use. when this happens, i have to go "hidd --connect" it again in the terminal. Also it unpairs when I turn the tablet off, is there a way to make the connection a little more permanent? or even a touch more stable? have you experienced any of these issues?

what my situation is:

VS G-tab

tnt lite 4.4.0

microsoft bluetooth keyboard 6000

you rock my socks off btw, thanks for knowing what you know

-Miguel
[G Tablet Accessories] prscott1:
Hi Miguel, It sounds like maybe the channel the hidd is connecting to is getting noise on the channel or the keyboard device is losing its pairing (are the batteries still strong?). I haven't had any of the issues you are reporting with spamming keys or disconnects/drops after heavy usage. My keyboard times out after a period of inactivity - so I have to reconnect using the hidd method.

As for having to reconnect it each time, I can only suggest you create a gscript shortcut on your desktop that launches a script with the necessary commands in it or look into using autostart app that can launch the script for you at startup.

The problem with the above solutions would be that you would have to have the bluetooth keyboard up and running at the time of bootup or else you would have to reissue the commands anyway.

In addition to these commands, did you also pair the keyboard to the tablet using the bluetooth settings?
[G Tablet Accessories] kodakeos:
Anyone know if Gingerbread automatically uses HIDD modes?

I had to power up the device after getting to my hotel (failed to wake from sleep)

But all i had to do to get my Xoom KB up and running was turn it on, and start bluetooth! I was trying to get gscript HIDD conn to run and it kept failing because BT wasnt on.

So i never successfully ran the hidd connect script, and I was able to connect to the device without issue, much like when i paired it to my Moto Phone did!
[G Tablet Accessories] signops:
prscott1 - thanks a ton. My Mini Bluetooth Keyboard works because of you.
