Has anyone made or found any apps that work with the new CM7 alphas? The transparent. translucent ones like in the Lucid theme by sonny?

Looking for twitter,facebook, genie widget and pandora if anyone knows of any.

Thanks guys:D
[Android Apps and Games] jdefran:
Hey all, I've been trying to find an app/widget similar to the native android folder widget where you can drag and drop icons into the folder...but I want to use custom icons for those folders. All the apps I've come across do not have the drag and drop functionality.

Thank you for the input!

[Android Apps and Games] simon82temp:
Hi, the one i m using from adw EX 1.0 can be modified when you push long on the folder icône...

Best regard, Louis
[Android Apps and Games] jdefran:
I see the option for activities and launcher actions, which one is used for creating folders?
[Android Apps and Games] dswta:
Try Simi Folder. It's fantastic. :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894005

its features are still being extended. So just go over to thread and make a request for the drag and drop functionality. The dev is pretty open minded about requests and suggestions. he's already implemented alot of users' ideas in no time

lockbot could do the trick. Not perfectly but it is okay.

But you can still unlock by swiping "the old way" on the 2.1 lockscreen

How to get Google talk or call to work in other places apart from the US?

Sent from my X10i
[Off-topic] AdrianK:
I think you mean google voice? there's no such thing as 'call', and Gtalk is their IM service which is available world-wide. There are some methods available, but judging by people's comments they are extremely unreliable. I'd like to think that when someone contacts me via phone or SMS, *they will be able to contact me*, for me it's not worth messing with even though I'd really like to use GV.
[Off-topic] Vito Andolini Corleone:
Well if the a person studies abroad and has to call back home its gonna be pretty expensive. I installed skype but it has. Horrible voice quality.

There was an app in the market place via which one can make video caller rather phone calls for free via ggoogle voice. But they mentioned that its available only to US customrrs
[Off-topic] mixxx18:
I think this is only available to US customers, you can only call through gtalk to gtalk just like Skype. Gtalk call is very limited. :)

maybe soon Gtalk will release a better version but right now we have to deal with it. You can just use Skype for the meantime. :)
[Off-topic] AdrianK:
Hardly, I've using video calling on Gtalk via iChat, it works very well.

You can't call a service crap just because it doesn't offer a feature that you want (which it never advertised).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] boothy1995:
i do not have much knowledge on android phones and from looking on the internet there is a lot of tutorials and information but they seem to be specific for a certain phone, like the HTC's for example.

the phone i currently have was purchased from chinavasion.com and it is a phone they have built themselves and have done so very well, i believe it contains hardware from different existing mobile phones and it runs on android v1.6.

i am really wanting to update my phone now and my biggest problem is that there is little internal memory on the phone and i am wanting to be able to save applications onto the SD card which i believe you can on android v2.2, i have heard about rooting but i am very unsure how to do it and whether it would be worth it.

any information on how to update this phone or rooting this would be very much appreciated,

thankyou.

this is the information given by the manufactured/wholesaler

* Qualcomm 7227 CPU is the same chip found in the Motorola Devour Android Phone.

* Though hacking the firmware voids the warranty, Qualcomm 7227 CPU supports all leading mobile operating systems including Android, Symbian S60, and Windows Mobile.

Note: The Android OS version on this cell phone cannot be upgraded or flashed and any attempts to modify the default OS will void the warranty. As a wholesaler, Chinavasion provides no software support, advice, or training regarding the Android operating system and software.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sergehog:
I would also like to have such update!

This phone is also knows under name "TWM T1" (Taiwan mobile), but that version also have donut ROM :(

There are nice treads in mobile01.com forum about Rooting and APP2SD

Using their instructions, I rooted, managed to install APP2SD and Google Apps on phone, so it's now much more useful than before.

I am considering purchasing the Playbook when it comes out due to it's specs. Does anything think it might be a possibility to have it dual boot with honeycomb?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ffarber:
Bump!! Well not exactly bump....

I got a Playbook yesterday to evaluate for work and the hardware is great. I am currently using a Nook Color but the Playbook beats it hands down except for the software which has a long way to go.

Instead of a dual boot how about a straight port of say...CM-7?

Anyone...anyone? Is it remotely possible, I wouldn't even know where to start but I would be willing to help financially.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] screamlordbyron:
I'll third that!

Since it can run android apps, should we be able to install launcherpro, adw, or other home launchersM

Sent from my always stock, EC05 Epic 4G
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fowenati:
Since it is able to run Android apps, I wouldn't be surprised if it was able to get a port of Honeycomb or something eg the iPhone's Android or HD2's Android. I would actually expect it to be rooted and such just like android devices. I may be able to get one because my cousin is the Production Manager or something along those lines for the the Playbook and he has a bunch of in his house.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ffarber:
My understanding of the Android Apps is that they would have to be repackaged and recompiled as opposed to running natively. They would then need to be released via the Blackberry app world. I am not sure if this is conducive to an emulator, etc.

My offer of financial assistance still holds.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fowenati:
From my understanding it plays them out of the box.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] robbyf66:
I know this for sure, there not emulated, and not ready out of the box. They will need to be compiled differently from my understanding, to early to tell yet, a few weeks away from them announcing details i think
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fowenati:
Hm, I havent really checked into its specs, but if the processer is compatible, then It is possible for it to run Android. I think it's best bet is some port of Honeycomb like the Nook's version. If they can get it on the iPhone of all devices, then the Playbook shouldn't be as hard.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ffarber:
I don't believe it is an Android derivative. RIM bought an OS manufacturer, QNX, and are you using that OS.

I agree that it ought to be easier than an iOS device but there would need to be demand. I think I will go over to Crackberry.com and see if I can't stir up some interest over there.

Post the result of the 2nd command (dont know if it works... but it wont harm anything)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
This is actually what I'm trying to get at, reverse some stuff I probably screwed up. Heres the story:

Got my device in early Feb. Dont know what it was delivered with, 1.72 or 1.82, doesnt really matter, used gfree0.4, got permroot, s-off, flashed eng hboot and CyanogenMod7 right afterwards and was happy ever since.

I recently decided to upgrade the radio to the latest AUS one, since then it basically went downhill. I get a weird dual-vibrate on powering on the device (the regular long vibe upon turning it on, then the htc logo screen, couple seconds later a second, very short vibe, then the ROM loads) which I can't get rid off, not even flashing back and forth all the radios available. Secondly, since that radio upgrade, I have random battery burn. The device behaves normal, couple percent in a couple hours and then suddenly burns 20 or more percent in half an hour. On a CM7 build which was fine before. And on any radio available.

I also posted this in the CM threads, but theres no response there. Having read through this thread now, I actually think this is the better thread to post my final question (all of the above is just introduction :D ):

Having permroot, S-OFF, SuperCID and ENG hboot, will flashing a totally official for example 1.34 or 1.72 RUU put me back to a stock state, wipe the custom stuff, (hopefully) reverse the radio upgrade

but

leave the cool stuff (S-OFF, SCID, eng hboot) intact?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
Oh ok, now i understand :) That was a piece of an intro!

So, in short, NO.

Flashing an official RUU should restore integraly your phone to an unmodified state. S-OFF is overwriten, so is of course root, and for the HBOOT i'm almost sure too, if someone could confirm. This is a very special partition so I'm not absolutely sure.

As for the dual vibrate, i had it too. But it's gone now, dunno why...

Let us know what happens after a full RUU flash (try the 1.34, so you could easily reapply all changes later)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
Fell asleep yesterday while waiting for the RUU to download... :p

I'm (sort of :D) up and running again and just tried to launch the RUU. It throws an error at me, that there is some unfinished install going on somewhere which I have to finish first. The thing is, it's not true: I *just* rebooted the machine...! Ugh... again 281megs from a slow server...? Gna... :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
I went with 1.34.405.5. My findings:

HTC Sense, what a crap! :eek: I'm genuinely astonished how HTC can put "features" (bloat?) over a buttersmooth user experience. It's so laggy and, honestly, just too much. Opening the app drawer and having to look at 30+ overcoloured icons kills ANY smartphone novice. On that regard, the iPhone does it do right, keep it simple, at least on the app drawer front... :(

VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.85.0005

RADIO-26.03.02.26_M

HTC Recovery

Sooo... I got the shipping hboot but S-OFF remained. Radio as expected got changed as well and so did the recovery. Next thing I'll try is fastboot loading the CWM recovery and try to flash CM7 right away... Updates follow, stay tuned.

Oh, btw, the extra vibe didn't go away :mad:

Update 1: Stoopeed meh, fastboot loading the recovery doesnt work of course with shipping hboot: REMOTE: NOT ALLOWED

Next try...

Update 2: temproot, check. permaroot, check. supercid, check. eng hboot, check. reboot. reboot? stupid HTC FAST BOOT :mad:

Update 3: Flash CWM Recovery... reboot into recovery... wait, whats this? EXTRA VIBE IS GONE!!!! WOOHOOO!!! :D:cool:

Ok, cool down.

Recap:

Flashing a full RUU (1.34 in my case) already having everything on full-hacker-mode :p with gfree0.4/rage will leave you with S-OFF and everything else on stock. From here re-rooting and going back to full-hacker-mode can be done as described in the wiki. I'm surprised it didn't set me back on S-ON, partition 7 (radio config) obviously doesn't get touched by the RUU then.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
Do you have your SD Card inserted and also mounted in the system? Or do you have it shared with your PC? This could happen if the script can't access the sd card to store the backup file.

Before setting the version I would make sure the card is mounted. You can do that by typing adb shell mount /sdcard of if already in a shell simply type mount /sdcard.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] komani86:
Great guide love it.

I got it rooted and im on 1.34 now.

You said at your last step though that you can flash to anything now and keep root. Does that also mean I can flash to 1.72? I tried searching the thread but didnt find any answers to it :)

I'm not sure if its REALLY necesarry to update to 1.72 but i'd prefer it (it has updates right?)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
You are confusing things. ROOT is something which is built in into a ROM, not something you are permanently changing on the device.

If the ROM you are flashing has ROOT functionality added, then you will have the full ROOT experience *on that ROM*. If you flash a non-ROOTED ROM, a stock 1.72 update for example, you won't have ROOT on the new ROM.

If you want a newer ROM though, or the added benefits of a newer ROM, you can flash an 1.72 update, or 1.82 or even 1.85, just take a modded, pre-rooted one you'll find in the forums here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
guys i have a very specific question. i bought a factory unlocked desire z and it came with 1.34.405.5 rom.... now in order to do permanent root do i follow this psneuter guide or some else?

also if i have to follow this guide since i dont need to downgrade do i have to reinstall the 1.34 rom given here.....

not a newbie to android and rooting ....been using htc desire for quite some time...

but wanna get my steps of rooting right :)

thanks

Edit: Just completed rooting..... i just skipped the renaming the rom version step and installing the 1.34 ruu step......
