I've installed android eclair 2.1 onto my htc touch hd and downloaded these games

angry birds- get a blank screen and then one side of screen is part blue the rest black

robo defense-only one that works properly

paper toss-really laggy

how do i get these games to work?

Also how do i close android without taking my battery out? what button do i press to exit android into w.m
[Touch HD General] Thegn:
I can recommend you switch to the latest version of XDAndroid that is based on Froyo, and also add the 3D package that have it's own topic here.

You can play Angry Birds with XDAndroid and the 3D-package, however it will not be speedy with our Blackstones.

With XDAndroid you can hold down the power button and choose to Power Off. After that, restart your phone by pressing the power button and it will boot to WinMo.
[Touch HD General] mickeystar:
I had the latest android 2.2 froyo but with that my Wi-Fi never worked nor could I get a signal. With both of the android versions ive tried it says im on bt cellnet (what is this?) but I have an o2 sim card
[Touch HD General] Thegn:
You have to make sure your device is using the right libs for WiFi (I learned it the hard way myself a couple of post ago, having predefined a setting that would not change...) See this excellent post for more info about the right settings with WiFi: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10022403&postcount=152

Also, Android might not detect your operator right, so you have to enter Settings and change your operator and *Data* provider accordingly.

It's a bit difficult right now since there are different developers taking somewhat different ways, but reading these forums and HTC IRC LINUX will make it all clearer. Devs are always working on different stuff, and they are doing a great job. Just watch the IRC or forums for news.

We use HTC Desire as our mainphone in the company and Exchange Sync is working perfect. But the syncing of "Tasks" is not available.

Is there any solution for this or some third-party app that can do it up agains Exchange?

I have installed Gosms, if I remove messanging app I receive messages normally?

the same is true for email app?
[Legend General] danielmarr0:
You are probably better off just setting the default messaging app to be GoSMS, then hiding the native messaging app with your launcher. I found that removing some unwanted apps such as GTalk caused problems with others (mainly google ones)

I have Handcent and the CyanogenMod messaging apps and the both receive the same data and handle the same data, I only use handcent because the (quite older) ROM that I am using uses an old CM Messaging app which doesnt allow me to select from contacts.

If you do decide to remove the .apk's or .odex's be sure to back them up first before deleting them in /system!

Good Luck!

[Wildfire Accessories] SabbeRubbish:
Hi all,

Is it suitable to use a screen protector (e.g. Brando) with the Wildfire?

I'm wondering whether it reduces the touch screen's sensitivity, reflection , ...

What are you using?

I've got a Brando screen protector for my HTC Touch Cruise (3 years now) and I'm pretty happy about it. The protector looks pretty scratched and greasy but when I peak under it, the phone seems perfectly clear.

So what are your opinions? Thanks :-)
[Wildfire Accessories] Alex_GP:
I have a Zagg Invisible Shield on mine ant it`s great. The sensibility is only slightly reduced, you don`t even feel it`s there. But that depends on the type of protector you`re going to use. Mine does not interfere with the viewing angles ot luminosity/contrast. If you want to see more pictures check my blog.
[Wildfire Accessories] Drdroidlove:
My wildfire is a pretty rugged phone, i dont think it really needs screen protector. On the other hand, my htc desire wouldn't last a month without the ZAGG invisible shield, or is it maybe the desire costed me double?
[Wildfire Accessories] bigbossa:
I think the Zagg is good in application mine had no bubbles the next day but using Swype is a really drag ! literally :( too rubbery I'm afraid

Any suggestion on a good protector that works well with Swype ? I'm in UK
[Wildfire Accessories] Alex_GP:
I don`t have problems wih Zagg and Swype, use it for a couple of days, it will smooth out.
[Wildfire Accessories] bigbossa:
Ok Alex will see how I go ,only had the Zagg protector on for a couple or three days ;)
[Wildfire Accessories] Alex_GP:
Mine took about 10 days in order to smooth out. As long as you installed it properly, you should be fine.
[Wildfire Accessories] WillKennerley:
I've heard good things about this Brando one which has a matte finish so no greasy finger prints or reflections. I'm thinking of getting one if I can find it for sale in £GBP

http://hemorrdroids.net had a review of one on their Youtube channel.
[Wildfire Accessories] chris66:
Try phantom skinz, can't even tell its there, and I use swype! Little expensive, worth out through!
[Wildfire Accessories] bigbossa:
No improvement on the Zagg screen protector and using Swype/Slideit giving it a couple more days , if there is no change ...its history ;)
[Wildfire Accessories] Alex_GP:
I can't see how you don't feel any difference after this much time
[Wildfire Accessories] bigbossa:
Hi Alex

Yeah man ...no change still rubbery to the touch and I use it to text pretty much every day.I use it for work and its driving me nuts . I have to revert to using like a standard keyboard . No worries giving it couple more days ....;)
[Wildfire Accessories] kevin2516:
i bought a bunch of cheap screen protectors on ebay and they're perfectly fine =D
[Wildfire Accessories] NickHu:
Zagg was fine for me the same day I applied it... Using Swype. Try pressing down harder/lighter? Either that or you're doing it wrong.
[Wildfire Accessories] bigbossa:
Yeah will do .......I think its my rubbery fingers :p;)

i dnt think the screen protectors affect too much. mine came with my case all for $12, which is considered cheap in NZ. n it works pretty good
[Wildfire Accessories] ephbee:
whatever you do don't get privacy screen protectors, the ones i tried were just a mirror finish, they look ridiculous, screwed up colours on screen,made it impossible to see anything outside, and made my sensors play up( my soft keys wouldn't light up). i'm like kevin just using cheap ones off ebay and they are fine.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shmigao:
hi, quick question.

i originally installed busybox via busybox installer in /system/xbin

then, because openVPN requires busybox installed in /system/bin, i did that too.

now busybox installer tells me that i have more than one copy of busybox installed (surprise), but doesn't tell me whether that is good or bad. i also do not see any detrimental effects at this moment.

so should i just keep it like it is?

if i should uninstall one busybox, how should i do this?

thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biopsin:
have u tried busybox (installer) from market, think it will give u option to uninstall if it finds several copies..
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shmigao:
it doesn't

it says it will remove existing versions, but i guess only if you overwrite (means, install over previous version in same folder.

i have it in two folders /system/bin and /system/xbin
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biopsin:
should be easy to delete it manually from xbin, i have only to files there

ipctool & vfp-crasher

reboot

--

but i dont think it matters, i had several busybox files as well, decided to remove all except in /bin folder..
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shmigao:
done, no harm

thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelous:
Hi!

So did you installed busybox on yout galaxy tab P7500 or your phone? I have P7500 and i've seen how people break their displays with busybox can you give market link for busybox installer which one you used? Thx.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkubacz:
Please help! I moved to Australia and cant use any data functions on the Optus network. Optus uses 900/2100mHz for both the 2G and 3G networks. They utilize UMTS and HSPA...the same as T-mobile (the folks I intentionally bought my phones from). I know the Glacier doesnt do data at 900mHz, but I can't even get a connection at 2100mHz. I called HTC customer support and Virgin Mobile Australia. Both companies are stumped and say it should work, but it doesn't. 2 phones, 2 sim cards, no data. Voice and SMS work fine. I added the Virgin Mobile APN per their settings, still nothing. Ideas? Is there a patch required to be Aussie compatible?

Second issue, my wife's phone is very weak when it comes to WiFi, I have seen this is a known issue. Is there a fix now that mailing it back isn't an option?

Please help. I have two great smart phones that aren't so smart right now.

Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays.

Resolved. Don't input the APN settings, just enter the APN name and the phone figures out the rest. No luck with wifi.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holdup:
So it is definitely working for you? I wanted to get the HTC Glacier as well (i.e. mytouch 4G). If I got it unlocked, would it work on the 3 Australia network? Specifically, are you getting 2G speeds for data usage on your phone, or are your getting 3G speeds. I want to be able to use it in Australia as well. It's a lot cheaper than some of the other phones available with similar specs in Australia.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkubacz:
Sorry for slow reply. Yes, I am getting 3g speeds on Optus/Virgin network. I do not get MMS though or video calls. I only get internet and SMS. Good luck.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holdup:
Cool thanks for ur help, managed to get it to work in Australia on 3 (dunno about other networks), although from what I've heard the 3G won't work in rural areas because they use a different frequency.

[Desire Themes and Apps] KBanause:
Nice one.

Here's another trick to convert files to grayscale:

Using linux:

find . -type f -name "*.png" -exec convert {} -channel RGBA -matte -colorspace gray {} \;

Using Windows:

for /f %a in ('dir /b stat_sys_*.png') do convert %a -channel RGBA -matte -colorspace gray %a
[Desire Themes and Apps] kotton666:
Thanks so much for this guide, but....Not sure what I'm doing wrong, every time I try the images all turn a solid black? I'd kill to find out what I'm doing wrong!!
[Desire Themes and Apps] mendozinas:
try with different ImageMagick version.

ImageMagick result depends on its version and even OS you are using.
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
what are the values you are trying to change your images to?

i've used this method on winXP & Win7 x64 with no problems so far.

if you could attach one of the before pics aswell that would be great
[Desire Themes and Apps] kotton666:
Thanks for the reply guys. I'll try to give you as much info as I can.

OK. I'm using Windows 7 x64.

I've tried ImageMagick versions ImageMagick-6.6.6-10-Q8-windows-dll, ImageMagick-6.6.6-10-Q16-windows-dll and ImageMagick-6.6.6-10-Q16-windows-x64-dll

On the ImageMagick downloads page it says "To verify ImageMagick is working properly, type the following in an MS-DOS Command Prompt window:

$magick> convert logo: logo.gif $magick> identify logo.gif $magick> imdisplay logo.gif"

When I do that I get "'$magick' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

On the ImageMagick downloads page under that it says "If you have any problems, install the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) or Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64). 64-bit Windows requires both packages (x86 & x64)." So I did that.

The values I am trying to change to are "mogrify -modulate -11,-40,6 *.*"

ImageMagick seems to be the problem, but I can't seem to work out how??

Thanks for the help
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
the command is working as it should, you are just removing all the brightness and colour saturation with the negative numbers.

what colour are you trying to change the pics?
[Desire Themes and Apps] kotton666:
It makes no difference what values I put in, negative or positive, I get the same result.

I even tried the same colour as in your guide, mogrify -modulate 0,100,180 *.* and still they all go black.

I'm trying to get a brown colour, something like HTML 9b5e34

hope that helps???
[Desire Themes and Apps] pendo:
Cool...you made it sound a lot easier than when I did this a couple months ago. (I didn't use ImageMagick).

One word of caution, if you are just adjusting hue you'll be ok, but if you inrease brightness or maybe decrease opaticy...you will throw an aapt compiling error. The ticks that mark the stretchable areas have to be either black, or nothing. No imtermediates. What I do is when I'm working with an image like that, I'll just select everything except the 1 pixel border, then I can edit however inside without messing up the 9patch ticks.
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
again you are removing all brightness with mogrify -modulate 0,100,180 *.*

the 0 in GIMP is equal to 100% (no change)

the 0 in imagemagick is 0% (100 is what you want to make no change), you are removing 100% brightness.

0,0,0 makes no change in gimp

100,100,100 makes no changes in imagemagick

you will have to play around with the higher hues though as +180 in gimp is blue, but 280 in imagemagick is red
[Desire Themes and Apps] kotton666:
Ok, I'm a little confused. If the values in Gimp are different than those in ImageMagick, what then is the point of using Gimp? I thought it was to get the values?
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
the starting points are different but simple to understand, everything else is similar.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ephumuris:
Does gimp handle transparency in 8bit pngs? As photoshop doesn't.
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
Not sure the about 8bit, but gimp doesn't screw up. 9.png's like PS does

Sent from my Ringy Ringy Talkie Talkie
[Desire Themes and Apps] pendo:
How does PS screw up 9 patch?
[Desire Themes and Apps] KBanause:
Are you talking about decompiled or compiled 9.png's?

Greetings,

KBanause
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
decompiled 9 pngs

If you are being lazy (like me) and cant be bothered to select everything except the 9 patch round the edge. i was manually adjusting 40 odd .pngs for my theme.

just a hue change, just one colour channel (not master) cyan for example

RGB mode, cyan only, +30 hue

pics attached

i've been trying to figure out how to get imagemagick to convert colours to specific colour codes and keep the transparency. so i can just set all the framework images to one exact colour, hopefully i get somewhere with that, lol
[Desire Themes and Apps] pendo:
I would think any program would affect the edge pixels if they weren't excluded.

The only problem I've had with PS is that on some smaller images with large amount of transparency it introduces a bunch of extra...junk for lack of a better term. I don't know what caused it but its most common on say a download or sync animation. Fireworks opens it fine and actually if u do nothing but save it from fireworks it wiil open fine then.

In the grand scheme its of little significance and doesn't add much time to my work since I'm pretty slow with it anyway
[Desire Themes and Apps] ASimmons:
Image Magick is very nice I use it in my theme injector program to resize 9 patch pngs.

I recommend it for any type of batch image processing.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Echo2Lincoln:
what happens if you mess up the .9 patch? I've been doing quite a bit of color changing by pulling the apk and changing the png's inside of 7zip. I haven't noticed any problems "yet". I'm not sure if I've changed any .9 pngs. I have changed hundreds of png's and the worst I've had happen is force close which is corrected with a boot to recovery and wipe then reboot which I do anyhow after pushing the apk.
[Desire Themes and Apps] KBanause:
The nine-patch defines areas which get stretched when the graphic doesn't fit the area it should cover. So if you replace a nine-patch file with a file that doesn't have these informations you will experience this:

On trying to decompile your .apk with apkmanager the .9.png file can't get decompiled. They end up as files with 0 bytes in size and you win't be able to recompile your apk.

If you have only unique colored graphics you likely won't notice anything. But if not then a circle gets strecthed to an ellipse, a square to a rectangle, gradients will cover the wrong areas.

Just imagine a graphic with a resolution of 90x90 pixels which gets stretched to (for example) a width of 480 pixels and a 90 pixels height.
[Desire Themes and Apps] AndroidGraphix:
This is such a great thread. I can't believe it hasn't received more hits. I just re-themed my entire ROM in under 5 minutes. Thanks.

I haven't read the post but the OP mentions having to tinker with the hue/sat/lightness because it differs from what you'll use in gimp/adobe. I'm experiencing this now. Have you managed to calculate the percentage different from that of the program vs. Adobe/Gimp?

[Desire Themes and Apps] rachelm920:
This process doesn't work if your image is grayscale... whenever I try to change the hue/saturation in PS it wont show up unless I turn up the saturation all the way and then it comes out all pixelated. I tried various numbers in imagemagick and it does the same thing...

Example:

Original Image:

Saturated image, trying to turn red:

The only way it'll work is if I check the "colorize" button in PS, but there's no instructions on how to do that in imagemagick.
[Desire Themes and Apps] KBanause:
Try converting the file to RGB first (non-indexed).
[Desire Themes and Apps] lawsonmh15:
Took me a minute to find the best way to do .9's in PS, but it's really easy to do. I create my gradient and then a new action to apply it and the blending mode, then use the rectangular marquee to draw around the image to make my selection, then click refine edge, set everything to 0, check decontaminate colors, and select output to new layer, apply the action to the new layer, make the border visible and save for web and devices.

Hi all

i'm currently behing my home wifi router..

one one hand, I have a lap top, wifi connected to this home network and everything works fine

on the other hand, I have a PDA who sees all surrounding wifi's...except my own network ( configured as visible ...)

consequently, I can't connect my PDA to the internet thru my own wifi connection when I can, without problem using an open hotspot.

if i try to force the connection, it is declared unavailable ( which makes sense if not visible...)

The PDA is an IPAQ hx4700 running WM6.5;

Any input/info greatly appreciated
