[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frinkazoid:
Changing the music someone hears when you put someone on hold.

I think the OP is talking about the music someone hears when you put someone on hold to put up a second incoming phone call. I was wondering about this too, i often have long phone conferences with lots of parties using a central conferencing systems; during these calls i sometimes get second incoming call.

If I puck it up, the conference call gets put on hold, and thus all parties in the conference hear nothing but my "on hold" music (which is noisy as hell).

Can this music be configged somewhere ?

That's usually something that's set up from the carrier side...

If I want to change an .apk file on my phone is using the Push adb command the same as just using Root Explorer removing the file I want to replace and just copying new one in its place? Are the results the same either way?

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
It depends? :D

90% of the time unless I'm told to specifically copy over the existing and reboot is just copy the app to my phone and use ES File Explorer and have it install that way.

The other method (since I'm cheap and lazy... well ok and broke) is using ADB / SU to copy the app into the directory and reboot the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulletproof1013:
you could do that , you could also put all the files that you need on your sd card...download super manager and move them from sd to /system/app or whatever you need to do ...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonH54:
I was wanting to try a different Camera.apk. I was able to use Root Explorer rename the current camera file(so I still had) and then copied new one in it's place and it did fine.

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] demaxmeister:
Hi,

I updated my xbox 360 dashboard a while ago, and I was completely blown away by the new 'kinect dashboard' graphic style. I decided, this is what I want my smartphone to look like. I'm sure most of you agree with me, stock android is ugly, sense is too fancy and glossy looking, and Windows Phone 7 looks awesome, but a bit too plain. So I think I've found a perfect inbetween, ''Kinect Phone''. (working title obviously) I tried to imitate the kinect graphic style a bit, without completely copying it, and tried to adapt it to look good on a smartphone. I've finnished a home screen mockup a while ago, and I'm currently working hard to theme the framework completely. I will only release this when it's completely finnished, and probably first on the HD2, since it's the only phone I own. I made some mockup images a while ago, please note the below screenshots are quite old, and the theme has progressed quite a bit, but I don't want to ruin the suprise ;). Here they are:

​

This graphic overhaul will hopefully feature:

- A completely skinned version of Android

- A completely skinned launcher

- Skinned applications

- Different themes (e.g. Watchmen, Red Dead Redemption (as shown in screenshots), Black Ops etc.)

- Animated Widgets (some help here?)

- Different hubs (stock ones will be: Home, Social, Media, Games, Office and Internet)

- Custom sound scheme

- A large collection of wallpapers and icons.

Things which are already done (as of 24/12/2010):

- Custom launcher with custom widgets

- Boot screen

- A couple of themed apps (settings, browser, messaging and gmail)

- Found a way to realize different themes

- A large psd document with a lot of graphics which will be used :D

Things I need help with:

- A windows mobile version

- Animated widgets (home++ seems to have this, but I'm not using home++ for a number of reasons)

- Changing the system font to Segoe WP

This overhaul takes elements from:

- Sense (The clock and some ideas)

- Windows Phone 7 (icons)

- Android (unavoidable I suppose)

- XBOX 360 Kinect dashboard

Themeing android is quite simple, as opposed to Windows Mobile. As I'd love to release a Windows Mobile version (Cookies Home Tab 2.0 has a lot of potential) does someone have some useful information about themeing it?

This thread's purpose is to get your opinions, and help of course :P

So enough talking, let me know what you think!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] romskii:
great, make it ! :-)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
This looks pretty cool! Can't help you with anything though...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Samsunguy:
well this looks interesting a mix of sense and wp7. can't wait for the final project.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
This looks awesome !

Let's see which will be released first, this or WP7 with Magldr ;)

Awaiting Awesome-ness-ly-fied :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] demaxmeister:
WP7 with Magldr is ready, just no live services :P

WOW stock one looks amazing?!?! I hope you can do this skin for gingerbread on HD2!!! Amazing work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] demaxmeister:
Once gingerbread becomes full featured and competitive to froyo on the hd2, I'd be happy to :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] norpan111:
Yeah but magldr isn't released yet as far as i know :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] -deuces-:
absolutely amazing, imo think about using launcher pro launcher....its very smooth and will complement the amazing looks of this.

just like cyannogen mod used adw...launcher pro will be a good idea (imo)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pens and DreamS:
+1.. Love the skins really. If possible i would add that right now and never look back!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] demaxmeister:
I'll make it possible, but I'll only release it when I'm 100% satisfied, no half-assing here :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] -deuces-:
non problem at all....we will await :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fl3x7:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] demaxmeister:
Currently progress is slow, since my hd2 is out for repairs. Sorry :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
You could always install the Android SDK on your PC so you can run an emulator ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] demaxmeister:
Thought about it, need help running a custom rom inside it though. How can i make a system.img out of a system.ext2?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
No idea, and I didn't know you'd need a custom ROM or I wouldn't have suggested it. Will people need to use a specific build to use your theme then?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] demaxmeister:
Oke doesn't matter, you were just trying to help. And yes, I'm basing it on a heavily modified MIUI rom, since I love the way apps look (like dialer, settings etc.), it's fast, and it's suitable. Also a lot of system apps will be themed as well. Or should I base it on sense?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I was just asking mate. There's so many people out there using 3rd party launchers that I just assumed you'd be catering for more than 1 user-base. (It's an ideal world in my head :))
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
I'd go for MIUI, it's way snappier than sense and more stock-oriented. The transitions are cool too (although a little over the top at times)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
yeah you gotta go MIUI, it will be fast, snappy, etc.. but I do hope you mean "heavily modified" when you say it, because I hate the MIUI lockscreen and the widget selections :)

Sense would make no sense because you've got this thing so pimp themed thta Sense Widgets would stand out big time here (other than that clock you got)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheSniper:
May i suggest the heavy shadows on the lower part of the boxes be removed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheSniper:
Actually.

While the concept is great i really think the design should be clear of any effect to emulate 3d / depth.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] demaxmeister:
Thanks for you feedback guys. I've tested a lot of different concepts on my phone screen and I've found subtle shadows, and sometimes not so subtle on links to apps bring out the best effects. The drop shadows are only necessary to make things clearer, and more easily readable. Also, the windows phone 7 interface can pull this off by having a single color wallpaper. This is something I don't want, because I want to make it customizable.

And as shown here, the Kinect Dashboard isn't void of dark shadows either.

Thanks for your feedback, and I'll definately take it into consideration.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheSniper:
Hi

You dont have enough negative space around the icons to pull off the dark gradients on the bottom, unlike the x360 dashboard, i would suggest using the new stye dashboard menu system for inspiration as opposed to the hubs.

Also you can create shadows without using gradients or fades, just use the primary colour at 50% darker and if you feel you must use gradients do it like this.

I you wish i will make up some examples shortly when i have a chance. if you want hlep with anything let me know.

If i recall the new dash menus work off white / grey / blue shades.

Regards
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheSniper:
Sorry actually now i see you want to base the entire theme off the hubs like your image above as opposed to the new menu system.

Just bought this:

WINTEC FileMate 16GB Mobile Professional Class 10 microSDHC Card with SDHC Adapter

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820161405

For $27.99 (not including shipping)! From the reviews it's gotten so far it looks like a steal for the price! Better get yours cuz I got mine! :D

Thanks! I just ordered one
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] nikon1b4:

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] funkeee:
According to the reviews, some people are getting crappy speeds of 6MB/s or less. I don't think I will gamble on this one because the cards seem inconsistent. I doubt the life expectancy is very long either.

Sandisk and other reputable manufacturers make cards that are consistently above the class rating. There's a reason they cost more: they spend money on QA.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] adrienspawn:
You're welcome for the "thanks" if you got it from me... Otherwise ok, parallel thinking.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Orite:
Luckily its backed with neweggs great customer service so I don't feel like its that much of a gamble.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] TL24:
I actually just stumbled on it today while browsing thru the site, thought to myself "hhmm X-Mass day so there's gotta be some deals going on today!?" and BAM! found this :D
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] lightningtrip:
I have one and I barely get 6 Mbps with it on HDTune, I have an Adata 8gb Class 6 that outperforms it, but it is a good deal for such a large card if speed isn't an issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] verkion:
The best speed I get out of the card, interestingly enough, is when I boot into Clockwork Recovery and mount it. I can hit about 11MB/s write. LOL. I think my SD/Trans-flash card reader is messed up because I get abysmal rates with it.

verkion
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] heybobitsme:
I bought this card a month ago from Fry's. I never really tested, I just mainly wanted it for the capacity. That being said, using this command on my linux box

dd count=1k bs=1M if=/dev/zero of=/media/test.img (/media being the name of the card)

with it being mounted in my pc, I got this

1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 12.051 s, 89.1 MB/s

.

Not bad!.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] theratdude64:
Oh wow, that's what I got an 8GB for a little bit before I got the G2. Though that one is a Sandisk. How can I tell what class it is?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] funkeee:
There's usually a little number inside a circle, somewhere on the card. Sometimes it's not in a circle. It will be either a 2,4,6,8 or 10. If it doesn't have one, you can assume it's a class 2.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Lucas155:
Newegg has had this card at this price for a while. There isn't any rush to get these. They sell out, and then come back in stock a week later.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] joemm:
I just bought me one of these:

WINTEC FileMate 16GB Mobile Professional Class 10 microSDHC Card with SDHC Adapter

from FRY's Electronics in Manhattan Beach Ca. for $32 (IMHO pretty cheap for a in store price).

I Just ran h2testw on the card and got 15.2Mbp/s write speed and 17.5Mbps read speed, so at least the one I bought was legit. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] banjolas:
Here's the thing: the greater the Class on a card the better it will perform reading/writing big files. This also means that if you're trying to create/copy/move many little files from/to the card you'll be better served with a Class 2, wich doesn't take so much time readying the card for a reading/writing operation as the higher classes.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] joemm:
Ok, and if you want to partition your sd card for ext. They recommend class 6 or higher
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Orite:
Got mine in the mail today and I can confirm it's a Class 10.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] brokenwatch:
There is now a 32gb one, too. I didn't see this last time

Search for 32gb class 10, I can't post links yet.

I was wrong, the 32gb one is not a micro, sorry. However the 16gb one is back in stock now.

Just bought this card since the stock one died on my within 2 weeks of ownership:mad: . getting 15.4 mps so i guess i didnt get a dud. $35.71 out the door from fry's in houston. Coulda saved 5 bucks on newegg but owell i needed it now.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rhcp011235:
Its a rebranded sandisk card. I've had one for awhile now. Works fine.

Long story for short, I got this HTC Incredible a couple hours ago from local dealer in China. There's no Verizon here so I don't know where they get incredible...The original seal is intact, but I can hardly believe it is new:

- USB port has some scratches, is it normal?

- Manufacture Date is in this September, both activation date and refurbishment date are null, life timer is 0. Can they change/reset these data in order to make it look like a new one?

- No scrapes on the surface, looks like new.

There're also some dusts left under the original screen sticker (that plastic transparent stuff). I can hardly believe this is new phone, is that possible to tell it's a new one or not?:confused:

Im pretty sure this wont work for vzw tab...poked around in the files,most of the changed images are in framework/res/hdpi-v4. The path on vzw tab is framework/res/hdpi. Anyway,it was enough to scare me off. Could you tell me where those 1% increments are? Im thinking maybe battery-status.xml?I wanna pull the control file and the png's and push em into framework. Tia.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] BuglessFan:
Screenshots? Also, the -v4 just means it's been decompiled.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] a454nova:
Guys guys guys... -v4 is ok... Will work fine! lol

I am sure the framework is the same across the board. Nothing is really any different than any other 2.2 devices. No special renaming. The battery mod is a change in the battery and battery charging xml file. Instead of a img matched to a value every 20% (stock) this will display an img for every value. 205 or 125 images. In the Glass theme I have an img for every value for charging as well so it has 205 images. If you are at 22%, it will say 22% in the battery Icon. AND... This will not drain your battery any faster. This is a active Battery % Display for the Stock Icon.

Soon I will have a full Battery Mod thread with a ton of different Icons and the xmls for those who wanna use it. : )

I'm using Glass with the Magic Smoke Live Wallpaper, Looks so awesome. You must check it out. I have pics already but I'll post more and a video.

Ahhh....gotcha. yeah,I noticed I got a -v4 on the end after I've used the s.c. online kitchen. Any way,recovery still exits with an error when I try to flash on vzw tab. Could it be that string in the assert command in the updater sscript? Thanks for the heads up on the XML...it got me there.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] BuglessFan:
The battery mods, particularly Mod #2, are nice. If I apply the images via MM into the drawable-hdpi folder, predictably it only picks up the twenty percent level ones. If I add the two XML files to the MM in the drawable folder (I used the 125 version) none of the images show up. I'm familiar with basic image replacement, but not with replacing the XML files. Is this something that would require an update.zip rather than MM?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] maxtcee:
tried the glass theme on att tab

now im stuck on samsung logo

trying to boot back up no go

thanks for trying though
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] a454nova:
Did you use Clockwork? If your adding the images, you have to have the xmls too. xmls go in drawable.

Sorry man, I only have a sprint tab. I'll look into it more, Maybe I'll build it from each framework to make it work for all.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] BuglessFan:
Nah, I was using Metamorph, which works fine for the PNGs, but somehow when it replaces the XML files in the drawables directory the battery status stops showing up altogether. I didn't have a lot of time to experiment though, so I wound up just restoring from nandroid backup. I know it must be replacing the right files, because if I run Metamorph without the XML files it perfectly places the new images, and the notification bar picks it up for the existing battery increments. If I add the XML files it winds up with a blank area where the battery status go. I'm assuming it's one of three things: MM having trouble replacing the XML files and busting something; or there's something specific to the VZW version that doesn't like one or more elments in the XML; somewhere along the lines of pulling the two XML files out of your .zip and putting them in the new .zip changed some kind of formatting (DOS v Unix linebreaks, dunno). At any rate, I can use the images easily for the 0,10,15,20,40... increments, but can't easily update the XML files with MM at the moment. I might look into doing an update.zip.

The reason I'd prefer MM for just picking up changes like battery status images, is that I don't have to worry about the framework matching, it'll just replace the files in my existing framework, so it's usually quick and dirty.
