Yeah I've downloaded and installed and have the .png file opened and going through the gimp manual online to figure out how to make it more transparent. I am sure I am making it too difficult but I am going into the filters > lights and shadows area, as the online manual suggest but I don't really see anything in there that says "transparent". Am I in the right area or am I making it too difficult?:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Too much. There should be an opacity slider you can use. See here:
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
sorry I should have explained that better, you can just drop it in the apk without dec'ing it. You can also just take the .9 off the file name. It will still work because that png's size is controlled by the xml (fill_parent) so it stretches it automatically without the need for a draw9.

I just forgot to take the .9 off the png name...

works the same either way...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
No, that I did already. I was DC'ing it to try and change the text color.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Ok yeah I saw that but it was set at 100, but I see that the lower you go the more transparent it is, thought it was the other way around. Thanks. It says I have to export it before I can save it? Ignore or export the image?

EDIT: Did a save as and got through it all. I hit export and I think it did it, but just in one step. Going to transfer back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
8.5 hrs on 1.5 hrs awake 42%... Gonna try on demand instead of smart ass see if that goes better...

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Ya, export then save and you should be good to go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
Ok this is ODD i was on a call on cell, had a txt message come through but it played my email tone and not my SMS tone i use for messages. any thoughts on this or a setting i have to change?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Yup good to go. Almost like the folders aren't even there. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Well I know you can have a "default" notification sound, an email sound, and a sms sound. You have to go into all of your apps, email/sms and check the settings.

EDIT: Just load up your mail app and hit menu then you should have an option in there of notification sound and same with messaging app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
i've done that, like for my SMS/Messages it plays "incoming message" then for a email it says " you have a new email" so when i was talking on cell it played " you have a new email "
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Nice. A little too trans for me but you're not me :).
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
VERY fast market....

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Hmm..What's your default notification setting? Home screen click menu > settings > sound?

Maybe it's playing that one when in call. I am pretty sure when I'm in a call I've got the specific notification sound for each mail/text that I have set. But honestly I can't remember. I will keep an eye on it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
No thats under menu/settings sounds where you assign your notifications for email
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Yeah it's almost too trans for me too, but I think it's because of the black background. I'm going to be changing that background when I find a good St. Louis Blues (I know they suck but I still love them) background. If it still is too trans at least I can change it myself now and not have to bug you guys. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Let's go blues!!!!!!!!

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
under that setting it playes "Email Message" when im talking on cell when its a TXT message so its playing wrong tone. could be a lil bug?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
No you can do it in your mail program as well, at least with gmail you can. It's under the select ringtone's in settings of gmail.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Aww....our boy is growing up :p.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Your going to make me go dust off my LG Lotus to test this out aren't you? ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
UGH!! They have all but given up on the season. :( Traded all of their talent away for some draft picks. Loved the days when we would at least make it to the playoffs every year.:mad:
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
yea i know that, but its playing my tone for my pop3 account gmail is fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Agreed on all the trades.. But gotta have hope for my team!!!

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Yeah I'm finally out of the just sitting up stage, I'm actually crawling around the house now. Better start baby proofing everything!! :eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
:D gotta keep ya on your toes LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
I'm with you. There's always hope, at least they do still have that. They aren't mathematically eliminated yet. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Yet is totally the key word... And they'll be good in about 2 yrs depending on the picks...

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Ok well sorry I don't use that, so I guess I can't help you there. I could set one up though and test it tomorrow if the braintrust :p doesn't figure it out by then.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Ha, yes it is. We need to get a lock down goalie and a new coach. We traded away some pretty good young talent though so they better pick REAL good!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Aww, man. Maybe I shouldn't get that happy meal toy after all. I'm just going to have to throw it out anyway. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
How bout them gas prices?!?! :mad::mad::mad::mad:
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Yup. I might swallow it. :eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
$3.19 here

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
What are they where you live? I am assume California? 3.15 in middle of MO:mad:

EDIT: LOL didn't see the little bitty 3.19 underneath your big ass "how bout them gas prices" :o
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Yup. Just filled up today in B-more for 3.31 :mad:.
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
i paid 3.79 for regular unleaded supreme unleaded 3.98 tommorow im sure will be in the 4.00 range, i know is L.A its already in the 4's
[EVO 4G Android Development] ibcenu:
I got a platnum case from best buy (made by sedico) anyway, it keeps the camera lens from hitting the table

Just paid 3.74 in chi town today... got a gallon to get me out to the burbs and found it @ 3.49:mad:
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
I just ordered my ballistic case today!!!!!

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1BadHEMI:
Yeah these gas prices suck ass!

Like Jade said, Glen Burnie/Pasadena $3.35-.40 for regular, and then premium is about $3.65-.70 (unfortunately my Charger requires premium:mad:)

So glad we fought a war for oil, aren't you.

Sad thing is these prices are due to demand in China! WTF? Everyone in China wants cars to drive on dirt roads. They need to stop watching World Rally Championship!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
I feel you on premium cause that's what my subaru takes but NEVER deter people from watching rally!!! We need support!!

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
Actually the prices are going up cause the crap going on in Libya!! they say tho were still using our reserve gas before this started which is BS!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kraenesk:
I don't feel you on premium. My truck takes diesel and its 20¢ a gallon more. Do you like paying 160ish to fill your tank? Damned pump makes you swore again every 75 bucks

Mikfroyo...can something this good be legal?

Wallpapers

What's the optimal size/settings to take an image off the web and make it a wallpaper? I've tried a couple of different images with couple of different resolutions and it just distorts the whole image (stretches it so that it looks like crapola). Is there a setting, ie like a windows machine, that centers it instead of stretching?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
I have one and its a BIG case. Saved my evo from a 20' drop.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
I will defiantly give you this victory!!! Everytime I see diesel it makes me cringe... I mean my suv runs on regular and doesn't get that good but you totally win the "who this sucks the worst for"!!!

[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
anything bigger than 960x800 or take one off the web 1200x800 use any editor to resize it

in windows machines we have choices stretch/center

Sprint Hotspot

Why is it that I can only connect 2 devices using the Sprint Hotspot, and when I tried using Wireless Tether it didnt work at all? Is there a way to change that number or get Wireless Tether to work? Thank you ahead of time :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Like cali said, when the phone resizes an image to use as a wallpaper, it makes it 960x800. If you want a static image, I think you can use a 480x800 but not sure though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Go under settings in the hotspot app and select manage users and the click where it says max number and change from there...

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
In Sprint Hotspot, turn it off then tap on "manage users". You can change max connections up to 8. For wireless tether, try vaelpak's version, located in chogardjr's mediafire folder.

Edit: I'm getting slow in my old age :D. Here's a link to the vaelpak wireless tether: http://www.mediafire.com/?nya3s9vsv8yha73

I would say something clever but I did type all that without waking up my fiance who's sleeping in my lap! I'll take the first post ;-)

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
480x800 is correct but when you scroll you wont have a wp for other screens unless you use that multi wall paper app in market then u can have different wp's for each screen that size.

*EDIT* but if your taking a wallpaper off the net and its bigger than 960x800 and just load it its gonna make it look funky so you should resize it before loading it as a wp.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1BadHEMI:
Yeah I hear you with the diesel! Makes no sense when you think about it to. Diesel is unrefined oil, crud.

I think we should all buy donkeys for our means of transportation, find the oil tycoons houses, bag our donkey doo, light it on fire and leave it on the doorsteps!

I'm calling for at $4.50-$5.00/gallon here in MD by the 4th of July, and $6.50 to $7.00 in Cali... Any other takers?
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
Oh im sure we will be in 5.00 dollars or more range by summer, Thankyou Obama your already sending navy ships to libya and still havent pulled out troops out of iraq!! why do we always have to stick our nose in other countries problems? No wonder were so broke and getting the shaft by paying higher taxes to pay for all this!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Holy off topic!!!! But OH MY GOD do I agree!!!!

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Yup, just checked and 480x800 makes you crop it, so stick with 960x480.

Edit: And now back to our regularly scheduled programming.......;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
You gotta crop the CRAP outta a pic if you take it with your EVO... It sucks

[EVO 4G Android Development] Sweetlittlehugs:
Huge problem. I only use pics of my daughter and kittens for my wallpaper. So few actually work. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Depends on your megapixel settings, but yes. If you set widescreen to 4:3 and use 1 megapixel, it's only 1280x960 which isn't too much bigger.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Well I would multi-quote all of you but it's late and I'm tired. Getting close (see attachments) still want to change a little bit, ie the color of the blues symbol to match a little more, but I'm having trouble finding some of the icons in the resources.apk with a little better color. Crap just realized I was looking in the wrong one. Ah well, I will get it the way I want. Not sure I want to use this image anyway because it looks kind of grainy.

I also found this page discussing wallpapers. Basically said what a lot of you had already said.
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
check your settings in your cam, maybe its set to small resolution?
[EVO 4G Android Development] blkhwkz:
I'm in the same area, I paid $3.55 for premium today in Pasadena, my TL has to have that. Then few hours later I saw almost every gas station had jumped up to 3.70. Time to start getting my gas at Costco again, which means I need to renew my card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:

and save 2-3cents? costco/arco/ and those off brand stations are the worse gas to use, might aswell grab your garden hose and fill up LoL

Check these out! Pretty cool looking.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Here's what I don't get.. Net location is frozen, setup is frozen, settings storage is frozen, HTC check-in is frozen, accounts and sync is frozen, brcm Bluetooth is frozen, VPN is frozen, and widget download manager is frozen.... How does that work?!?!?

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Whoa...How about these?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Just because it is frozen does not make it uninstalled. If you freeze an app that has an update in the market it will still say it has an update and it will update while it is frozen. Most of those are not safe to uninstall so make sure they are ok to do that before you do anything like that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Now its starting to look really cool!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Now we are talking, might keep this one awhile.

Found them here a long with a whole crap load more.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
I know that doesn't make them uninstalled but what's the point in freezing them if they're still gonna run?

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
I think all those are just the list of the packages that are in the android system and not so much the ones being used.

I don't use VPN services but we both have the exact same list of packages...don't think it is a being used list.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eboothjr:
Well its official my battery drain problem that for whatever reason started the other day has pushed its limits with me and since I don’t have a lot of patience im getting a new phone tomorrow …. I have tried all kinds of different things and have had no luck . The strange thing is I always got great batter life with this and previous versions of mikfroyo then just like that it stopped working I went from 20 plus hours per charge with medium use to 3 hours if lucky with little to no use so on to evo number 4 I go . I would like to say thanks to all who tried to help with this problem, the thanks button was hit many times but this evo must be put to rest.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
That stinks. You are getting another evo though, right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlip5617:
Just curious. Are you using an sbc kernel and which pri version are you using?

ok guys... sorry for not really posting any new info... but here it is.

im on the z port... the issue is that im working with what myn put up...

now.. there were A LOT of tiny things that needed fixes like adding landscape support to some of the widgets (not sure how he missed it... but he did) and fixing up all the colors in the xmls to be blue and obviously a new blue theme im working on to go with it.

i got done with pretty much 99% of the things and i will have a release for u guys probably a little later today (march 2nd that is...)

now... i will put the "beta" tag on this z release just cuz i didnt have time to fully test it... but it is 100% working from what i can tell so far.

if any of u guys really feel like they want to give it a shot a little bit before everyone else... let me know by mailing me to mikfroyo@gmail
[EVO 4G Android Development] eboothjr:
yeah gonna get another. (number 4) the strange thing is like i said i always got great battery life always 20+ hours, all i did was put in a spare oem battery and got 22hrs outta it then plugged it in before bed (did not turn phone off) and when i woke up the chrage light was off (not red or green) and the phone was powered off and wouldnt boot i did a batt pull and nothing so i grabbed another battery (oem) and it booted, and the rapid battey drain has been every since i have tried pretty much all that has been sugjested changed pri to 1.77 even wiped and reflashed as well as just running it without adding any of my apps back. :confused:

i was using the pri in my sig but went to 1.77 with no change and yes im using an sbc .... like i said above i have run this set up for some time now without problem thats what makes it strange its like it just quit
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:

Anyone else having a problem with the market this morning? Everything was working fine yesterday... this morning there are 4 programs with updates but none will. All give me an "Installation Error: Package file is invalid".

What do you have your screen brightness set to? On my phone, I find that the auto setting is a battery hog for some reason. I set it about 1/4 from the left, and its still plenty bright even in the sunlight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kudzus:
You might want to try this.

From HTC "To also help with Battery Life you can do these steps exactly: 1) Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more 2) Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour 3) Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour Your battery life should almost double, we have tested this on our devices and other agents have seen a major difference as well."
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Has any "person" done this and not just a recommendation off their website?

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I forgot how long ago you flashed this ROM; I think a couple of days? I'm assuming you had your phone charging overnight, so its a full charge.

Some people swear by the 90-100% range, and judge the quality of the ROM/ kernel/ battery by that. From my experience, that 1st 10% drop is very marginal and inconsistent and the drop between 80-90% is more stable.

You've probably taken all of the necessary settings adjustment to max your battery life. All I can suggest is to give the kernel a few days to adjust, and to use your phone normally and see if it lasts as long as you need it to. Try not to focus so much on that 1st 10%,

Good luck!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Has your kernel had a chance to "settle in"? Giving it a couple charge cycles? Have you tried any others?

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sweetlittlehugs:
I don't use auto brightness either. Mine is about 1/4 from the left also.

SD card speed tweak adjustment

The OP states that the SD card speed tweak has been set in a script. How can I adjust it so it's applied permanently? I have a flash file for the 1024MB value I want to use but I'm not sure if it will conflict with the "script". Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sweetlittlehugs:
I'm not focusing on the first 10%. I unplugged my phone at 6, its now 7:20 and my battery I'm now at 40%.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sweetlittlehugs:
I flashed the rom Sunday, the kernal Monday. I haven't tried any others but if anyone has a suggestion for a different kernal I will try it. I really like this rom.
