im really glad you guys like it lol :D

To take a screenshot you can either use the ddms app in the androidsdk on your computer or use drocap2 in the android market. If you don't know how to use the androidsdk fluently then just download drocap2 from the market.

Thanks!

[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Mackattack:
wait a second I just installed the one that said new color update, but it seem like nothing changed. Did I download the wrong one?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
are there new icons?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
I think the buttons are fixed, but the boot screen was the creepy pink eye one my girl didn't like. Icons were stock android for her. Maybe i got the wrong one?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
OK let me get this straight.

Here is my checklist for things I have changed:

1) I changed the icons... (did it work)

2) Changed to bootanimation on startup (did it work?)

3) Fixed a bunch of background stuff

4) changed status bar to the lighter pink you guys asked for (I think it worked)

Is there anything I've missed?

Just tell me which things I still have to change because I'm pretty dam sure I fixed everything.

Thanks,

ljbaumer
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
When I looked at the new pink theme earlier, I noticed the icons were stock minus the elegant steel color. Not sure if it was the other theme, that got the new icons or not. I didn't try the new theme itself as I am having a nice time on Steel right now so I can't say if the other things worked or not.

If there anything to help with, I will try.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
No good on the icon here either and the eye is still pink. I think i may have d/l the wrong one, or you uploaded the wrong one who knows.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
I will look through the zip files one more time when I get home but I am pretty sure I updated the ones I uploaded.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Hey I looked through elegant steel and there are only a few bugs in the new color version. They are all small and most of them are just coloration issues. I am going to do some research on why the icons aren't working and once I am done I will try and push out an update which will probably be sometime tomorrow.

Sorry for the delays,

ljbaumer
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
Its all good.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
What is the update here. My girl is been waiting for the update .....
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Omg im really sorry I though I updated the thread already!

I'll upload them tonight once I finish testing.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Uploading.....
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Update,

all bugs SHOULD be fixed, icons should be there, and bootanimation is changed
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Hey has anyone tested the new builds?

If so do they work?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
If you're currently using this theme please read the 2 sentences at the top of the OP.

Thank you,

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihackyourtech:
Anyone know of an app or mod that allows you to turn off the softkey backlight when you want? I read on my Vibrant at night & those extra bright softkey lights are hard on my eyes.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
does not exist for any GALAXY S.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostPartizan:
Really? I had Captivate with i9000 reoriented kernel and those softkeys were lighting only when pressed. So if you tap screen, softkeys do not light - perfect for night reading. Solution that I see - to find a i9000 reoriented kernel for vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedarkness37:
I know there is one called "BLN" (Back light notification I think), the paid version lets you schedule when the lights turn on and off. I have mine scheduled to turn on at five in the morning and off at seven at night. But I think it's just for notifications and not turning them off completely.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostPartizan:
Unfortunately BLN doesn't turn off lights completely. But we can ask developer to add such feature :).

Anyway there should be some sort of hack for kernel to turn off those keys.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
This is correct I know of no Galaxy phone that can do this either Sorry
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a4 moda:
This is disappointing. I know it can be done. Because there are plenty of members here that have turned off their BLN keys on accident by using SGS tools, and messing around with it.

So I know the script is there. Just, nobody has done it yet.

Dev,s anybody???

Come on- Let's do this.

Thanks

Have you try 'Keep the lights on' in market by Guardian Bob? When toggle Off, the lights stayed off when you tap the screen. Atleast it is for me, I'm on Bi-Winning rom.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xan_Kriegor:
It's not the app, it's the ROM. :( And they come back when you tap the keys directly. I think all 2.2.1 ROMs do this.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edoble:
Same issue

The key lights really bother my eyes at night....has anyone figured out a solution to this problem yet......please help thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Culverin:
I know this is an incredibly newbish question, but I'd flipped through various forums and articles and googled it and still don't quite seem to understand it.

My question is why is android dependent upon manufacturer's release?

Take for example, a desktop computer.

OS

This is the core of the device and the UI between the user and the hardware.

Applications talk to the OS to instruct the hardware to do stuff.

Microsoft and Apple makes the OS.

ex. Windows 7, Mac OS, Linux.

Hardware

Asus, Nvidia, Realtek, marvell make the hardware.

ex. video, LAN, sound etc.

Hardware Bundler

Dell, Alienware, Gateway, Acer

They take commercial hardware and some OEM hardware and assemble it in a way that many consumers will buy their bundle.

For 99.9% of us, not counting Synapse, this is the only way the hardware is packaged together.

Device Standards

Collectively, the manufactures work together to determine certain industry standards ex. ATX, PCI-E, SATA 3, USB 3.0 etc...

Drivers

The manufacturers also make drivers so the OS can make use of their hardware.

Compatibility Is Determined by Driver Support

If the driver exists to talk to a given OS, then the hardware will work.

Not all hardware manufacturers will code for every OS out there.

ex. USB works on all OS because it's more established, but not every sound card will work on a Linux system.

Bringing it home...

So if Microsoft releases Windows 8, and as long as Nvidia releases a driver that works with that OS, then the video card will work.

Can you help me understand how the android phone architecture is so different that it's no longer

OS <-> Driver <-> Hardware?

Sorry for not getting it. :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
It isn't different, it's exactly as you written. But manufacturers usually don't release sources of drivers, neither binaries for newer versions of OS. Also many manufacturers add protection against installing your own software into "their" device.

Android is open, but many manufacturers of Android devices - aren't.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] farazafs:
Many devices just like????
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Culverin:
You say manufacturers, are you referring to components such as the modem (???), video encoding/decoding chip (tegra), sound chip (wolfson)? NFC chip?

Aren't these drivers publicly available?

How else would small companies be able to develop low volume items such as these?

http://www.bigboxstore.com/computers/android-tablet-pcs

http://cheapandroidtablet.org/

When a company, samsung for example, makes a phone.

They start tying all the components together and making them talk to each other.

How "custom" are the "motherboard bios"?

Is that what you are saying by the manufacturers add protection?

Like at the "bios" level?

As for things like this...

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/27/sony-announces-playstation-suite/

Does that mean Sony is banking on Google making it more standardized?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
I mean both components manufacturers and phone manufacturers.

Usually there are problems with Wifi, GPS, GPU support, camera, etc. Many alpha-stage ports have problems with these things.

Do you mean sources? Manufacturers rarely release sources of drivers, even on a PC. This is the reason, why there are problems with some devices on linux systems.

I'm not sure, but they have to buy a license to use these components in their devices anyway, so I guess they get sources of drivers too, but they can't release them.

"BIOS" or just "boot phase software" is usually 100% custom - there are no standard solutions I know of.

Let's imagine you have bought a new PC with some preinstalled OS. You don't have administrator rights on it, you can't boot from other device than HDD and if you want to update your system, you have to use special software, which has administrator rights, but it checks whether updates were created by device manufacturer. This is more or less how most of phones work.

I'm not sure what do you mean?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kschang:
Because individual makers add their own hardware.

It still is. Android OS is JUST THE BIOS, in your example. The VXDs/drivers are made by different manufacturers (hardware level drivers) and loaded at system time.

You can load a plain Android OS, but it won't be able to talk to the phone's hardware except in a very general sense. You can touch screen, launch apps, but no phone, and only generic camera without special resolution support and such. It won't be able to do data or phone at all. That requires special VXDs (or their linux equivalent, I'm a Windows guy). Not all phones have the same buttons, or the same screen rez, or the same keyboard, and so on.

That's why there are various experimental Gingerbread ROMs out there already, but they don't work that well, because nobody had debugged the "drivers" for the hardware yet.

And if nobody release the source of the drivers (even for the earlier versions) nobody can use that to figure out if they are compatible with the next OS rev. Binary hacking is way too difficult.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] o8530952:
You also remember 40Iplay this section mp3 player? Its music effect lets the human be surprised extremely.But weuse now the edition contact surface is extremely ugly.Butit published the new edition.The new edition contact surface is extremely attractive, now in marketplace sell.Selling price 39.9 US dollars.The software name is PhantasmX3 MP(Phantsm?I forget?).Because the marketplace downloading receives some limits inChina to be unable to download.Therefore in here requested everybody helped
[Windows Mobile Software Development] o8530952:
It is this soft ware report

Windows Mobile music lovers may well remember an excellent but quirky music program for Windows Mobile, called 40iPlay. It was characterised by an excellentsound quality and some usefulfeatures. Unfortunately it ceased to be supported from WM5 SP2 onwards.

Browsing around the Marketplace yesterday, I found a new music player called Phantasm MP , written byCornel Huth, the developer of40iPlay.

As it is only £7.19 (as opposed to $40 the original cost) I risked all and boughtit! Happily, once up and running, the sound quality isexcellent and I've no regrets.

It's not all sweetness and light at present however- setup can be an ordeal to saythe least, as the Marketplacedownload does not include thecomprehensive user guide available from the developer's main site. Initially my copy would not index my music folder, causing repeated lockups, butafter some advice from the developer I traced this to a dodgy music file, since when it has been fine.

Navigation on a capacitive screen needs practice as well, but again, the user guide helps!

One remaining glitch is that the program doesn't seem to be able to keep the device awake, so it will go into standby without sound according to user settings. I've reported this to the developer. Maybe there's something else in the settings that can be tweaked! Fixed: See post 4 for the reason for this!

I'll give it a few days, thenmaybe do a 'Brief Review' butif anyone is interested, the user guide is Here and some screenshots of both Windows and Windows Mobile versions Here !

user fell

Excellent ! - i tried 40iplayon my Orbit2 and it sounded very good indeed by virtue ofbeing able to tweak the soundstage via reverb to givea big sound.

I now use the SRS WOW HD add-on which has a similar configurable 3d effect tho i will definately have a punt at Phantasm for only £7.

The screenshot reminds me of Winamp from a few years back!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toninho 3rd:
K...

the GPS on my Captivate i896 (Official 2.2 Stock with the Zeam launcher, rooted) is taking more than 30 seconds to get a fix. under clear sky.

I´ve tried the Jupiter fixes, the setting changes, but I can't get any of them to work..

so.. any help on what should I do? since its 2.2, i don't think i can use Andromeda or another custom rom that comes with the fix.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawn122:
You should be able to flash any of the other ROMS available even if you have the official 2.2 update.... thats what I did :)

I upgraded to froyo 2.2 (official rogers through Kies)...had that for a week then got adventourous and flashed my first ROM. After that...I have been flashing like crazy...lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] 'Tron:
I often reply to comments on Facebook by simply replying to notification emails.

Some of Facebook’s notification emails are plain text, while others are full HTML.

When I reply to HTML emails, part of the code ends up in the comment i.e. <font><>blah blah blah</><screw this crap<<.> My comment.

There are no problems replying to plain text emails.

1.Has anyone else found this?

2.Is there a way to force the WP7 email programme to use plain text when replying?

Or

3. Is there a setting in Facebook so that all emails are plain text?

:cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] bhejafry:
Yes I have noticed it as well and it is very annoying. With the new Facebook messages, you can reply to facebook messages by just replying to the notification email. Even when using that, it always puts up as <HTML></HTML> format.

The only reason I currently need to open to facebook app is just to reply to the facebook messages. I would much love to reply using email.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 'Tron:
Yeah, super annoying.

I'm going to report this bug to the Windows Phone people.

If you could cut & paste a comment with the HTML crap to this thread, I'll include it in the error report (I've deleted mine).

On a positive note, now that I've been granted my @facebook.com email address, I can now reply to messages from my Windows Live email. :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] 'Tron:
Here's the offending code:

<HTML><HEAD>

<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></HEAD>

<BODY>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri,sans-serif">My comment. <BR><BR>More of my comment<BR><BR> </DIV>

<HR>​

BTW - when you reply to Facebook messages from your WP7, you also get the HTML code.

It's ironic - the WP7 has the best mobile based email programme available, yet I can't use it to the same extent as I did on WinMo 6.1.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
It's network dependent. The issue is not with your phone. If you are with AT&T (like I am) then, it is very normal. I would not worry about it too much.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] violentgoomba:
Happens to me when I get poor signal. If your phone's getting poor signal when it shouldn't, then you have a problem.

Its 100% verizon fascinate froyo build, it was leaked like 2 days ago.
[Fascinate General] pkopalek:
Things don't usually take two days to hit forums.

Unless it looks like someone could get fired for the leak.

Fascinate users are HUNGRY to not be on eclair.
[Fascinate General] leehblanc:
I'm new here and as such, a lot of people won't give a sh*t what I have to say, but I'm not PMing ANYBODY. This leak will make it to us sooner or later. Personally, I'm waiting for punkkaos (whom I've donated to) or jt to release either a non-traceable version, or a deodexed, rooted version, which I'm sure they will do when they are good and ready.

I'm guessing that will be by Monday, but either way I'm not going to bug someone or (potentially) cost someone at Samsung or VZW their job. We will have it when we have it. It's not like they're holding it back to be pricks.
[Fascinate General] Syn Ack:
So is this legit or what? Im bored lol
[Fascinate General] pkopalek:
Cyanogenmod (like kaosfroyo) is better software. Hopefully this new group build will help that rom move forward more anyway.

I'm tired of samsung's junk software. The developers around here will make good work of the froyo leak, if it's out.

This thread isn't really about development though...
[Fascinate General] Mercys Fallen:
Kaos stopped work on the eris to get ya'll froyo. Be happy it'll rock. Me I'm refitting for gingerbread.

This thread is useless btw.

Swyped from my froyo eris running on Kaos.
[Fascinate General] leehblanc:
Yeah, that's my point. I think it got lost in there somewhere, but my point is that this thread is neither about development NOR is it useful. Unless the OP knows Masri, I think it's kind of a d*ck move to tell the forum to PM him. No offense, OP, that's just how I see it.
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
I know masri, he is a good man. If he says he truly has a leak and is serious then he does. He may just be protecting his job. But I've been hone since the irc server went to Droid life so what the **** do I know?
[Fascinate General] Irishpride:
I am personally very happy that Kaos is working on anything for the fascinate, but i have grown to really like touchwiz, it is the best skin I've used, much better than sense. I've tried the vanilla froyo and cyan, but I'm holding out for touchwiz 2.2.

Also, mods need to shut this topic down.
[Fascinate General] Sorosy:
This was all started because of the IRC channel, so if you guys don't find it pleasing, oh well...it was fun with masri...don't care if you guys are hurt about it :)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Greets all,

I wanted to know if this could be done and if so would someone be willing. I use the Desire HD Sense rom, and I'm sure most iof not all roms are this way so thats why I posted it here and not specific to the rom I am using, but as we all know that when you are in a call there is only two buttons on the screen, Mute (Microphone) and Speaker (Speaker Icon), is there a way that we could at least get a thrid icon and have the Hold/UnHold button on that screen too? I would think that seems to be a important function that should be on the main screen and not have to push the Windows key to get to it. Obviously the Mute and speak can be accessed from both, but not the hold button.

Thanks for anyone who can help, and does anyone else feel the same way or am I the only shmuck?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Hows about a bump.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Cyanogenmod has an on-screen hold button, unfortunately you can't just use that phone.apk so you'll have to look at the source code and do some modifications yourself.

i cant get my captivate in recovery mode i need to master clear it because its locked and i dont know the password someone help i dont know what to do
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
What have you done in order to get into recovery?

Vol up and down and power, let go when at&t screen comes up

I am not sure you can just factory reset in click quirk to remove an un lock code

I think you can reflash software using odin
[Captivate General] guillorylild:
yea i tried using the volume buttons and power but it doesnt wanna work for nothing i been trying all damn day
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Have you tried getting into download mode

Take battery sim and ext sd out

Put battery back in

Hold vol up and down

While holding plug usb in (should be connected to pc)

By the way how did your screen get locked? Do you have usb debugging enabled
[Captivate General] guillorylild:
a lil child was playing with it and locked it while i had it sittin down but usb debugging is off and i tried that also
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
what is your build number, located under battery, my guess is 1008
[Captivate General] guillorylild:
yep 1008 man i kno u can help me some how
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
There is a known issue with some 1008 build phones, where button combos don't work.

Hmmmm. No button combos, no usb debugging. Its your phone rooted, have you flashed any roms?

I am really not sure you may need to reach out to samsung/at&t
[Captivate General] guillorylild:
its stock not rooted
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Well you have done nothing wrong and the fact that you cannot get into recovery is a product fault.

Wait, a jig should get you into download mode

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0aoabVtPJ8

Watch this. If you can get into download mode you can use odin to flash stock software back onto your phone. You will lose your contacts, settings, and apps

I an guessing you have no idea what odin is
[Captivate General] guillorylild:
i kno what it is thanks imma try it
