[Continuum Android Development] Jaylach:
I think you are correct. Both displays 1 and 2 come back with heights of 96. I'm assuming that Samsung was nice and made them in the order they appear on screen:

0 - Main display

1 - Button view

2 - Ticker view

With that said, I've been able to successful create new instances of the TickerView and TickerRootView classes using reflection. Unfortunately I can't do much with them since they don't have the required hooks. I feel like I'm getting pretty close to figuring out where the reference to the main TickerView is. If we can find that we can start to have some fun.

I'm hoping tomorrow will continue to provide the progress the past 2 nights have. Hopefully a good nights sleep will give me the vision I need =)
[Continuum Android Development] Jaylach:
Another day of work and another day of frustrations :) I'm pretty close to cracking this, so it feels, but I can't seem to get myself behind the wall of services they've created.

I've been able to manipulate the ticker through their service (turn it on/off, tell it that it has notifications, etc) but I can't seem to get behind their service to the stuff that will let me actually add/remove stuff from the ticker. What I really need is a tool that can show me EVERYTHING that's currently running on my phone. If I could see that I could probably figure out a way behind their services.

Oh well. Maybe tonight will be some good luck =)

Clockwork is coming today if I can iron out the problems with moutnin partitions, but its booting!
[Continuum Android Development] Jaylach:
Phenomenal news! Keep it up man.
[Continuum Android Development] Jaylach:
No new news to speak of. On vacation so haven't been able to pluck at it for the past 2 days. Will be back in a week to keep plugging away!

This is my first post so

I was checking on my rss feeds after the update and not I'm not able to select or delete any rss feeds
[Continuum Android Development] Weudel:
I am not having this issue... Though it appears that all of my custom RSS feeds are deleted, I can select and deselect from the included ones and can add custom ones.
[Continuum Android Development] sytech55:
I need some help in my RSS feed. I created one and spelled it wrong so obviously it won't get the subscription. My question is, How do I delete it?
[Continuum Android Development] dfgged:
Long press the feed, and then click delete or you can edit it.
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
Thanks again Jaylach for your development! I hope you make a grand discovery when the vacations over :P
[Continuum Android Development] Jaylach:
Thanks! I'll be flying back on Friday and I'm hopeful I'll make my grand discovery once I get back! Nice and refreshed!! =)
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
I am guessing things never worked out :|

well, i was messing around with a couple test codes, and one might be worth checking out.. Testing Mode, aka "*#0*#", has an option for testing colors..

Well, when you choose either red, green, or blue, another "screen" appears in the options for the ticker.. You have the time, you have the notifications, but you also have a colored screen..

Maybe using the DDMS or whatever you can observe what goes on to add that new screen in :D

hope this helps!
[Continuum Android Development] Gibson99:
I just got one of these as well, and the ticker is pretty much useless to me since no 3rd party apps can talk to it. i hate how i'm always accidentally touching the weather thing (which i can't disable, even if i delete all cities), and also hate how the only notification that shows up there is sms, and that's probably only because i'm still using the stock messaging app (i'm probably about to install handcent which will probably break that too). Since I don't subscribe to any rss feeds, i was thankful when that "page" of the ticker simply went away when i unchecked all the stock espn/cnn/spam/etc feeds.

I saw that you've been able to figure out how to tell the ticker that there are notifications - maybe that's enough, at least to start. I could see plenty of people (myself included) wanting/using an app that will tell the ticker that a third party app (FB, touchdown (exchange email), k-9, handcent, etc) has something that ought to be displayed there in the ticker. Just some sort of intermediary app whose only gui is its settings page, letting users select which 3rd party apps should notify in the ticker.

Did you ever figure out how to make the ticker show a bit of text there, like it does when an sms comes in, or an rss is published?

don't get me wrong - i'm not saying give up or be satisfied with what you have so far. i too would love to put widgets there and be able to page through them like we do with the multiple desktops, esp if the widgets are still visible while other apps run on the main screen.

It'd be cool to tweak the soft keys but it looks like they're silkscreened on there, though it's hard to tell - i haven't tried shining a bright light in there to see if i can see something, but there's no doubt that there's some sort of bar painted on to separate the two screens - so no chance of using it all as one large display.

don't give up! sounds like you were on such a good path for this thing. guess your vacation was just THAT good! :)
[Continuum Android Development] spearoid:
I'd like to second Gibson's emotion...at least to an extent. I find the Ticker much more useful even at present than he does, but on the top of my wishlist for the Ticker would be for Google Navigation to populate its "ongoing notification" info to the Ticker. That would be awesome.

In fact, I think if this thing is opened up to us eventually, the ideal thing would be to have an option to direct any app's notification (the part you see when you pull the curtain down) to the Ticker. You could check and uncheck which Apps report their notifications to the Ticker.

But Google Nav remains my supreme dream. I have this little twinkle of hope that Samsung's 2.2 update, assuming it comes to our phone, will implement Google Nav support in the Ticker
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
The softkeys can be modified... The images for them are in "framework-res.apk"
[Continuum Android Development] lincoln3823:
Could you post a picture of your modded soft keys if you have any

Sent from my Rooted space time Continuum w/ 2600mAh battery
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
Meh, as of right now editing the soft keys is very buggy... I can see my changes I made to it (i made the search key red), but I am constantly getting FCs... It is probably just a compiling error though, maybe with a wrong signature... Idk...

But once that gets worked out, we will be able to :)
[Continuum Android Development] lokito15:
Where do you enter in that number to get into testing mode?
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
within the dialer...
[Continuum Android Development] lokito15:
I did that but what do I do after I enter it in I hit send and it just tries to make a call and fails
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
Type in "*#0*#" without quotation marks...
[Continuum Android Development] lincoln3823:
sounds good. I'm excited to see what could be done since it is a screen in it's self so it could limitless on what could be done

Sent from my Rooted space time Continuum w/ 2600mAh battery
[Continuum Android Development] lokito15:
I did that too, still did not work, maybe my phone is just defective because it cannot even receive over the air updates for some reason
[Continuum Android Development] remotehunger:
you may not need to resign the apk rather than take that feature out of the os? maybe? idk But i do recall there being a sprint phone with a ticker i dont know if it was windows os but i do know they cracked it maybe its considers vid out put 2 Like a second screen with seperate measures Linked to certain apps and the clock ??????

I wish I couldve posted this sooner!! LOL.... I knew it was a second screen.
[Continuum Android Development] Gibson99:
Same here. Entering that code actually tries to dial it and of course cannot be completed as dialed.
[Continuum Android Development] Gibson99:
Its actually 3 screens. The main display is 0, softkeys is 1 and ticker is 2. Too bad we can't remove that black band on the softkeys and make it one huge display... imagine not having to scroll to play angry birds Heh...

I just hope that the reason Sammy is taking so long to release froyo is BC they're trying to make the ticker more useful and let it listen for 3rd party apps. LOL who am I kidding that'll never happen!

[Touch HD General] praveen5344:
I recently bought HTC touch HD and am using Default Green theme without the TouchFLO 3D..........I have some good wallpapers.I Start>Settings>Today and browsed for the desired wallpaper and used it as homescreen wallpaper.....The problem is the wallpaper appears extremely blur (the original pic is of good quality) and I could not find any option to adjust the opacity or transparency of the image.

Can anyone please help me apply the desired wallpaper without getting the pic blured.
[Touch HD General] praveen5344:
I got the answer for my above problem.............I have one more question.........when my phone restarts my sim card asks for verification pin, upon entring the sim pin the phone goes to the home screen and the phone is ready for use.

The number pad that appears for entring this pin is way lot better than the default dialer........is there any way that this pin keypad can be replaced by the default dialer and used to dial calls.

or is there any other way to modify or change the default dialer sothat it'll be more easy and comfirtable to dial numbers. The default dialer is very conjusted and not so easy to use and does not even look good.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
If you seach the Touch HD Themes and Apps forum you should be able to find different dialers, themes etc

Can someone help me...My problem is that i have animated wallpaper and now i cant get rid of it :mad:

Tried to apply wallpaper from file explorer and home screen settings, even copied my picture to "my wallpapers" folder and apply it again but still i have animated wallpaper...Same thing for themes...allways same picture as wallpaper.

Where are those animated wallpaper located so i can delete or something?

Is anyone besides me having a problem with their accelerometer being way off? When I use a driving game the screen is in landscape but the accelerometer acts as if it is in portrait.

Is there a fix for this? I've looked at the Galaxy and Nexus One fixes and they don't work for our device. Any help would be appreciated.

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] haree:
hi

i have a HTC tattoo rooted and using 1.6 cooked rom and a task killer no problem

Now i also have a Samsung Galaxy 3 and every time i use a task killer the phone gives a whole lot of problems my question is

1. why all these problems on the G 3

yes i did read some were that it is not good to use a TK and i also used the watchdog but i was feeling that my battery was draining fast

2. do i need to use a task killer or not on the 2.1 OS

and for ur info on the Tattoo i seem to be able to use the task killer and no problem at all no fc no restart noting but all this is happening on the G3 i have tried most of the task killer from the Market

can any one kindly advise on the same & thanks in advance :D

thanks

hari
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] hamsiro:
Well, there is a whole philosophy about using task killers on Android phones. If the device has good resources (battery, RAM, processor) it's not so useful but for mid- or low-range devices someone have to think about using one. I used Advanced Task Killer on Eclair and Froyo, without battery issues or other troubles. I use it manually, after using some other applications, when they remain in RAM, inactive but increasing the lag of the phone. I kill also the Advanced Task killer after using it. And after that the phone is more responsive... That's my experience with task killers.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] haree:
hi

Thanks but today when i used the same my phone network had problem ie no network had to remove app reload my sim to get it working wat did i do wrong
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] stubborn_d0nkey:
What I recommend:

best:upgrade to froyo and just use the built in taask manager

good:if you feel like you dont want to flash a beta firmware then:

do not use kill all, do not use automatic killing (kill manually).

kill only processes from apps that you know were opened.

in advanced task killer (if you use that) do not put low security, high or medium. if you are going to use another task killer put a similar option if available (less processes will be shown)

Oh, and yeah, kill the task killer after killing apps (:
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] haree:
hi

thanks buddy let me try as explained by u and ill keep u posted on the same

thanks

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] aikam_2009:
which is the best task killer or an application better than watchdog

[Fascinate General] orateam:
Severe bandwidth problems to come on the 10th of February and onwards. I left ATT for this?? Crap.. I knew i should have gotten an Epic.

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/splash/iphone.jsp
[Fascinate General] Xanius:
The main difference between AT&T and Verizon is that verizon purchased the largest carrier in the country(network footprint wise) a couple years back leaving them with the most robust network in the country.

AT&T is a bunch of asshats that stopped spending on towers when they figured out that their customers were sufficiently complacent about the network problems being a way of life.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Have you seen any of the articles stating that Android/BB users tend to use more bandwidth on average than iPhone users? What are the biggest smartphones on VZW? Will it cause more network load, yes, but I doubt it will be anything that's going to cripple Verizon's network like it did for AT&T.
[Fascinate General] obededom:
true dat.

VZW got that beefy backhaul

big red prepared, at&t underestimated and has paid for it in customer satisfaction ever since

[Fascinate General] DarthCivicus:
I really don't think the Iphone is better then any android phone with the balls to back it up. Really you get more out of Google's Android for free then you do from Apple and their aps that you pay for.

I'm going to hold out till something convinces me that my Fascinate is no longer worth it. Could be 2 more years since I just got mine last September.
[Fascinate General] pinecone:
Interesting. Read the tech specs, it's all GSM information. Wonder if that's live information or just something they put up there for now.
[Fascinate General] Xanius:
The phone is identical except for having a CDMA radio instead of the GSM radio. So just replace quad band gsm with 800mhz and 1900mhz for CDMA and remove the ability to talk and download at the same time.
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
.... and gain the ability to actually talk when you want to wherever you are.
[Fascinate General] s44:
Yeah, but that's not the point... The point is that some of the iHerd will be coming over from AT&T to *add* to all the Android users we're sharing bandwidth with now. Especially in the major markets where AT&T is really bad (like, um, Manhattan), this could mean a BIG spike/shift in data use.

Swyped from my Voodoo-powered Fascinate via XDA
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
haha^^

Besides, even if it did cripple data (and it wont), why would it cripple voice? Uninformed threads ftl.
[Fascinate General] Kristopherr:
Now we are going to find out the truth. Is it the iphone or AT&T's crappy network.
[Fascinate General] Xanius:
Both, my iphone and my wifes iphone had vastly different signal quality and dropped calls even when sitting right next to eachother.
[Fascinate General] baron4406:
I have an ipod touch 4g and a fascinate. Once they get the jailbreak for the 4.2 OS the touch will complement my rooted facinate nicely. Don't need no iphone
[Fascinate General] Kamar234:
I think everyone kind of glossed over what Adrynalyne was saying so let me say it again for him. We use a different type of technology from ATT for cell phone service. It would be pretty hard to create the same type of technical problems due to this. ATT uses a gsm service that uses data and voice over the same bandwith pipe, so huge spikes in either could potentially disrupt the other. Obviously now a days people use data way more than voice, so it has been a thorn in ATT's side because they could never keep up with the bandwith. Verizon on the other hand has voice and data coming down two different pipes, which keeps them separate. All the worrying about call dropping and quality doesn't make sense because iPhone users don't just make phone calls and leave their phone running on calls all day (at least the ones I know) It can, however, effect our data speeds and usage. We already have slower theoretical max speeds than that of ATT, so a slowdown could affect us with less users that of ATT users. But luckily for us, when the iPhone 5 drops, we more advanced android users will be on LTE leaving the unwashed masses to their iPhones on CDMA :D.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
CDMA technology also requires a denser tower configuration compared to GSM, so VZW should have more towers in place where they have service compared to AT&T. Each tower has it's own connection to the internet, so the denser tower configuration should also help distribute the potential increased data load. I also think that the load will be a temporary spike. The first week or two after the release will be the worst as every goes data happy with their new phones. After that, there will be normal usage and rates should return to a somewhat normal level.
[Fascinate General] orateam:
I used a Captivate, iphone and several other phones on ATT. It's always the same story, multiple disconnects during travel, very slow data rates and bad reception frequently. We know that ATT fudged their signal strength already, the towers are simply too far apart. But with the expected 9 million plus users, even Verizon towers could get onslaught-ed. I would expect that APPLE, notoriously known for strong arm tactics even forced VERIZON to bump us android users off a call if an iPhone user was using simultaneously and there was no room. Probably part of the contract with Apple. We know Verizon was desperate for this move and is scheduled to lose over 5 Billion in the first year subsidizing Apple. If you in anyway think this is not going to affect us, you are crazy.

It's possible that the ATT users of iphones actually get a boost from this while we Verizon subscribers suffer.
[Fascinate General] J Shed:
As of around this point last year, Verizon had 91+ million subscribers, and AT&T wasn't too far behind (~85 million). The number of VZW subscribers isn't going to spike by some crazy number so much so that VZW's network is going to be brought to it's knees. Android phones aren't exactly bandwidth friendly, so if it's not an issue now, it won't be when the iPhone gets release.

Verizon is seriously OCD about their network, it's part of the reason testing takes so damn long. You can bet they've thought long and hard about the projected spikes, and have made sure their network can handle it. AT&T was in a position where they needed everything they could get, and they underestimated the iPhone's popularity. It's no mystery that the iPhone will sell on Verizon, but there's a history Verizon can use to make sure they're prepared.

I'm not concerned...
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
1. Not all AT&T iPhone users are going to switch over on 2/10, and there are a ton of reasons for this. Mainly corporate discounts, service, carrier history, cost, etc.

2. They will not kick people off of their connection if a tower is overloaded. If they do and get caught, you can imagine the law suit that would cause.

3. Verizon is not desperate for customers/iPhone. If the rumors are true, Verizon passed up the iPhone the first time around. And with all the money being put into the DROID lineup, why would they be desperate to bring in it's biggest competitor.

4. AT&T users will still have issues because AT&T has a crappy network. It won't be as bad, but it will still have its problems.
[Fascinate General] upsidedownaaron:
lets be honest. at&t sucked before the iphone. vzw will have a proportional number of people switching to lte anyway will offset any iphone att&t ship jumpers.

we will be fine with our robust network and ****ty customer service. vzw will be able to justify their arrogance well into the future.

have no fears.
[Fascinate General] AlexDeGruven:
Stop parroting AT&T's marketing, it makes you look like a shill. CDMA has never had that ability. It's a function of the radio hardware, and yet CDMA carriers still dominate the cell phone market in the US, and many other areas.

Read facts, then post. It's a much more rewarding path.
[Fascinate General] J Shed:
Really? Because the extreme majority of carriers world wide are GSM. CDMA is arguably a more modern tech (tmk it's 100% digital, GSM isn't), but dominating the world it is not.
