[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aamikam:
ok... 180 would mean smaller things on the screen right?

anyways... i thought of something u can try without decompiling the apk.

do this.

pull the framework-res out from your /system/framework folder...

keep a backup just in case also.

then... open the apk with 7 zip and extract the "status_bar.xml" from the /res/layout folder.

then take the file u just pulled out and put it inside the res/layout-hdpi/ folder and overwrite the existing one.

that will give u lower sizes/values and such...

now... im not sure if that would help or make it worse... but if u feel like trying it.. knock yourself out... just keep a backup of the original framework so that u can revert.

btw... if it will work... than u would want to basically do the same with the layout-land and layout-land-hdpi folders to take care of landscape also.

there are more file that i might need to move around and such... but if that will work for u... i might be on the right track to helping u do it without decompiling anything.

keep in mind that i never tried it... and i also dont know how the whole changing the dpi even looks like.... so until i really see it and try for myself... im just guessing here.

edit:

oops... just saw u want them bigger...

my bad.

igonre what i just said.

anyways... look inside res/layout-hdpi folder of the decompiled apk.... any files that has to do with "status_bar....xml" u can edit icons sizes and text sizes in it.

i dont have your framework res file and i cant really change things up for u without having it... not to mention that i will need to try different sizes until it looks right.

for me it is set to 38 pixels... so u might wanna go bigger.

i also saw that it basically determine the sizes by the actual icon size... so im not 100% sure here about what to do exactly cuz im obviously not using the same thing as u, so i cant test it out right.

anyways... i would assume it shouldn't be hard to do if u play with some value a little bit.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roscoenr:
the statusbar_background.png is the file you are looking for for your status bar and many files for your icons like(stat_sys_wifi_signal_1, stat_sys_wifi_signal_2, 3 , and 4 are all for your wifi signal. They are normal png files not .9.png files so they should not be streched. I dont know if changing the size would do anything for you but you can try. The Apk Manager 4.9 will help you with decompileing and recompileing you apks, here is the link you will find it at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695701 good luck and let us know if it works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anaglich:
After a change has been made, is it as simple as copy and pasting on to my phone? I have a mac so I am unable to use the Apk Manager. Additionally, it appears every .xml file is in a code unknown to me, and is not editable by changing a figure as there are no numbers visible to change.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anaglich:
I must be doing something wrong or not seeing something. Whenever I edit a .xml file, it loads a bunch of gibberish, rather than code. Or maybe I just don't know what code looks like lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blue420:
I believe your problem with not being able to view/edit the xml's is because straight off the phone, they are binary xml files. If you want to edit them that way you will need a hex editor. Unfortunately, the only way that I know to decompile them is through APK manager. I realize you are on a mac so if you would like, I can decompile your apk and send it back to you.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxirane:
Well my dad loved my phone so much he bought himself a Vibrant off Craigslist, and has asked me to root it for him/install some custom ROMs.

Well, after 30 unsuccessful mins of trying the 3 button combo to get into recovery, I've come to the conclusion that his phone is hardware locked...

So basically, what's the safest way to root a hardware locked Vibrant? And install a new ROM? Once I have root will SGS Toolbox get me into recovery okay? Can you even root a HW locked phone without that risky HW unlock method I've been reading of? Rather not brick his first Android. Might be a bad first impression of the OS.

Thanks all.

I bought Sennheiser MM60 for iphone. The sound is exceptionally good (same as PX100 and PXC100) with detachable cable (you can use the mic unit with other headphones).

The only problem is the calling button doesn't work. It can only control music player (either stock player or winamp).

What iphone headset do you use and how does it work?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] student.driver:
Interesting. What, specifically, is happening with the headset? I've had good luck with a few iPhone headsets, particularly ones with just the play button like the v-modas I have right now. I normally use the SE MW600 Bluetooth headset, and I've noticed that the call button brings up the menu option of either the Genius Button or Google's voice software. Is that what you're getting when you use the button?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] mingkee:
I got music player activated when the button pressed once (it can be the last track it played or play audio randomly.

I am supposed to receive Bose MIE2 today and post the result later.

The purpose of this thread is to share the experience what brand and model of wired (bluetooth excluded this time) headset used and how does it work.

update:

I just received Bose MIE2. The button control is the same (doesn't work on calling, but it works with music control).
[myTouch 4G Accessories] student.driver:
So it doesn't work on calling at all? It can't take a call, place a call, or answer one? When double-click my v-moda, it places a call to the last number dialed out. It also works with answering calls. I have the Vibe Duo:

I haven't tried the stock ear buds because that design isn't particularly comfortable to me.

[Windows Phone 7 General] cronojay:
I had an iPhone 4, then traded it in for the Captivate and then I sold the captivate for the focus and I am really pleased with the focus so far. My email syncs great, the GPS (which was a pain to have for the captivate) is spot on and accurate to 20ft on my phone. Xbox live is a plus and they have great games so far in the Marketplace some before android. The battery life is better than the captivate and I played Rocket Riot on my phone for 2 hours and only 15% battery used.

I really enjoy the stability of this phone and you should try it. You wont be disappointed.

is there any way we can do hdmi at all, this dlna thing does not seem to be catching on and it seems rather bulky. it will not play any of my windows media files?
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
DLNA not catching on? Like every new TV I see has it, almost all bluray players have it, the PS3 and Xbox has it, and every single computer is capable of it. Pretty sure it has caught on pretty well.

But no, there is no HDMI solution right now.
[Epic 4G Accessories] TWO515TY:
I'm not a huge fan of DLNA myself because it's not useful for older HDTV's, and it's a lot more cumbersome to setup than plugging in a cable and pressing play. I thought we were supposed to get HDMI out via the USB port, but I'll believe it when I see it.
[Epic 4G Accessories] boominz28:
Well I wasnt expecting a rude answer but yes its not catching on , they may have it but it is bulky and cumbersom to use , the standard is not quite standard yet. some companys call it allshare, (samsung) some call it DLNA and the operation of it is not the same on everyone of them.

plus they may have it but not everyone has the money to do out and buy a new system just to support DLNA.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
Wasn't meaning to be rude, its just what you said made no sense. Allshare is just a program that uses DLNA. DLNA is the standard. Every computer supports DLNA, most bluray players and many if not most new TV's support it. Also, the Xbox360 and PS3.

The only company that changed the standard to only work with their devices is Apple, who is promoting their airplay nonsense.

You can use ANY of these apps to play to a DLNA device:

Ok so my droidx is flashed to cricket and it does everything pretty good. Talk/web/sms/market but incoming or outgoing mms not working. Every message i send i instantly get a "No national access coverage" error. same with incoming mms. I have tried with the stock txt app and handcent. I have pushed the autostart and the u2nl files. tried the apns from anycut with all the cricket settings. Tried the ##program menu and changing the upload to 111111. I am at a total loss at what else to try. would love to get the mms working to complete this phone flash. Could it just be cricket blocking it? Had mms working on my droid 1 a few months back. any help would be great maybe i missed something. Also i am on the

I'd like to start making some boot animations. Since I have a bit of animation experience and I don't really like any of the ones that I've found.

Once I get started I'll start posting them here for you all to use.

I have a just a few questions before I get started.

First of all I'm assuming it has to be the proper resolution and I believe they need to be gif files.

Is there anything else that I need to know? I've read a few threads and saw that some people had trouble getting them to boot for some reason or another. So is there anything else that I need to look out for?

Thanksss.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] roirraW "edor" ehT:
From what I recall, different phones don't necessarily keep the boot animation file(s) in the same place. AFAIK, that's the only real issue other than that you would have to provide different resolution versions if you want your boot animation to be usable on different phones. IMHO, I would just make it for the Eris first and if there's a demand for specific other phones/resolutions, then cross that bridge since there's no use doing work that's not needed yet.

You might end up tweaking the animation too, so you might as well "beta test" it only on the Eris to begin with for that reason, too.

Sorry if I'm ranting, I'm really really tired so I'm extra silly. LOL.

I don't think they use GIFs. I think they use a sequence of JPGs (completely up to you how many frames. Normally I could double check on my phone but I can't at the moment but I'm sure you could find the info somewhere in here.

I hope I'm not misleading you about JPG versus GIF; take it with a grain of salt since as I mentioned I'm tired. Good luck!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] CondemnedSoul:
I could be wrong but I thought they were png files in the boot animation. I'm pretty sure that it's usually located in /system/media but I thought I read at one time that they can sometimes be located in data also. Good luck with the work though. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] workshed:
you can use either one, gif or .png... use png for better quality (if using photoshop, save as for web, then use png-24 option and save.

also, make sure you don't compress the zip at all when you package it. Use the option "store" to zip the files up using no compression. If you compress it, it won't be accessible during boot and you'll have a black screen.

The bootanimation should go in data/local

here is my red cyanogen bootanimation zip, feel free to pack your own bootanimation into it, then sign it and it'll be flashable in recovery.

remember: the bootanimation.zip cannot be compressed... the flashable zip CAN be compressed.

Good luck! Hope to see something cool soon.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] mcdaaaniel:
WOW i wasn't really expecting that much feedback. thanks a lot guys. i'll start playing around with this stuff as soon as finals week is over! :X thanks again! :D

edit: I'm already bouncing around a few ideas in my head. I don't think I'll be able to get around to it until tuesday at the earliest though.

Also if you guys have any requests, my animation experience is somewhat limited but I'm willing to try anything!

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] workshed:
Just to be clear for anyone else that reads this... if you're cooking your own rom, you'd want it there in system/media ... if you're making a flashable zip you'd want it to go into data/local

I have a .gif file that I would like to make my boot animation ... can someone tell me what or where it needs to go, please ?

Does it need to be signed and zipped or can it just be placed in system/media or .... what ?

Sorry if this elementary .... never messed with boot ani's before, just stuck with the ROM boot ani.

>> just tried a RedCMbootanimation.zip .... placed it in system/media (removing the ROM's bootanimation.zip > Nonsensikal 15.2 blue CM boot ani) ... renamed it the same as the boot ani I replaced (bootanimation.zip) ... no worky ... just a black screen ... is it b/c the zip file is compressed ? D

>> Also tried to put my gif. img there ... got a standard 'android' boot img.

>> Do I need to open the ROM boot ani .zip file in AC/adb and replace something in there ?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] CondemnedSoul:
It needs to be made into a zip named bootanimation.zip and not compressed and pushed to data/local. the redcmbootanimation is flashable from recovery.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] mcdaaaniel:
Alright guys so i've made my first animation just to kind of test the waters. Definately not something I'd release on here quite yet.

The issue I'm having is that it is going at a very slow frame rate. What can be done about that?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] workshed:
try editing the desc.txt framerate. that's the number right after the resolution (ie. 320 480 15) the bold number is the framerate, try upping that, but I wouldn't go any higher than 25.

Good luck, hope to see it soon :)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] mcdaaaniel:
Thanks dude. Yeah I actually figured that out. What I actually did was i changed the framerate of the boot animation it's self because naturally I just set it to 29.97 since that's standard ntsc. so i changed that to 24 so it matched the desc.txt and i saw a slight increase in speed. I'm gonna play around with it a little more, maybe make the frame rate of the animation it's self even lower and see if i can get higher speeds. Hopefully without losing too much quality though.

Also, I read somewhere that if you use a smaller resolution it will go faster. So i'll give that a shot as well.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] workshed:
Yeah, you can make it 320 x 320 like the cyanogenmod bootanimation, just make it's background black. That's why theirs runs nice, it's 320 x 320 -vs- 320 x 480
