Preciate the help I had no trouble installing the themed Launcher itself but how do you apply the themed app icons to your applications? I'm running DK28 ViperROM Trinity 2.o and I tried flashing the icon pack zip in CWM3 but "installation failed" any more suggestions?

The only themed icon I saw was the launcher app drawer icon

[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
You do not flash the icon zip. There are icons only with a blank starter icon to roll your own icons. Copy the unzip folder to your sdcard folder (exp: LP Icons).

Press and hold the icon you want to change. Select change icons, goto the folder you created called LP icons and select the icon you want. You may also at this time change the label name of the icon pointer to the app.

looking good jstine!
[Epic 4G Themes] tony45x220:
Ok I created the folder in the root of my SD card with all the folder icons unzipped so that they are showing as png (whatever that is) format...I apologize for my slow slawness wit this but where exactly am I going to press ad hold the icon I want to change in order to apply the modded ones?

[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
Let's say you want to change the phone icon for your LPro. Press and hold and you will get a screen "Edit dock shortcut". Select "Change Icon" then "Custom Icon" now you are in the Gallery. Find the folder that you named before and then select the icon you want to replace the phone icon with. Select the blue phone icon. Now you are done with custom icons. BTW: any icon that you select should have a size of 84x84. I think the ones I put in the zip folder are folder are 128x128. Please resize to 84x84 before using those icons for the screen to look correct. Hope this helps

Edit: Just tried this myself and the icon don't show to the correct size. Will have to look into why?????????
[Epic 4G Themes] tony45x220:
Ight preciate it mane this was a big help...I also figured out that if you longpress on the homescreen to add an application shortcut you can modify the app icon and name of any application on the phone with any icons you have in the gallery...only gripe I have is that the icons only change on top of the launcher homecreens...still a pretty cool feature doe...thanks again mane.

P.S. I have the same icons and they look and work just fine with the size they came after I put it under the DCIM folder on the SD card.

[Epic 4G Themes] DeeODoubleD:
I'm new to theming as well. I got the LP to work fine, but how do you replace the widget icons on your homescreen? If I want to change the usual ugly mail icon to the glass mail icon how do I do that? You cannot longpress those to change them.
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
Please read a few post, I gave instruction on how roll your own icons. There is blank glass icon in the zip file in the 1st post.
[Epic 4G Themes] DeeODoubleD:
I'm talking about changing the widget icons, not in the bar.
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
Sorry, I quit using LP after I paid for the full version. The Launcher that I know of that does that is ADW Launcher. It will let you change any icon on the home screens. Here's one that I did with Black Glass, but you can use the same icons you got the zip in the LP8.3 section.
[Epic 4G Themes] DeeODoubleD:
Thanks man, I'll check that out. I'm almost afraid to do anything else right now as my phone is running perfectly. lol

Hi, i'm trying to live test my app created with eclipse on my HTC Desire but i cant get it working!!

I'm using Eclipse Helios under Ubuntu 10.10 32bits

What i did :

- this trick http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html but with no luck...

- set Debuggable to true in the AndroidManifest.xml

- USB debug is activated on my phone

- Tried to launch eclipse with root access

Also tried with both

as well as 99-android.rules and 90-android.rules

All i have with adb devices is ???????????? (same in the DDMS window in eclipse)

btw, i'm using a different usb cable (from an external hard drive) because i lost the old one. But i assume that my problem has nothing to do with that change.

Thank you for your time

[Droid 2 Global General] jconw:
My D2G frequently plays the default notification tone but doesn't post anything on the status bar to tell me why. I've been careful to not turn notifications on for tons of things and I can't find any apps in which I've got tones enabled and status bar updates disabled. Is there some way to get a log of all notifications and their source app? Can you suggest any other way to debug this problem? It's driving me nuts!

Thanks, Jim

Hello Devs,

I need a little help with Android ListView:

I have a TabActivity with 3 Tabs, which has 3 ListViews defined in its layout.xml.

I dont want to spend every TabView its own Activity because they are basically doing the same: Showing a ListView with the same Data, just another set of it. For this I override an AdapterView, to show my Custom list row. Im calling the setAdapter() and setOnItemClickListener() on each of my ListViews. Its compiling well, showing Lists in emulator or on my nexus. But the onItemClick Event won't get fired on touches. If I take the trackball or the d-pad, focussing a row and press it gets fired! My guess is, that it has something to do with my laout.xml file, because if i focus a row and touch anywhere it looses its focus.

I tried many things to get it working, but I have no idea anymore.

Can someone of you look over this xml, and tell me, what I am doing wrong?

[Epic 4G General] gaaspul:
I got 48 hours of battery life this past weekend (2 full days) after reworking my phone on Friday. I actually got 24 hours of battery life one day, when I first flashed the phone a couple of weeks ago, with Light / Moderate use. I am running the Bonsai4All ROM. I had been running it previously but had flashed back to stock due to an issue with Wifi, that I thought might be related to this ROM. After further research I found the Wifi issue was NOT related so I decided, since I liked Bonzai so well, to re-flash and keep it.

Here's what I did:

* From Odin I flashed to the stock ROM.

* I flashed to DK28 via Odin.

* I loaded Bonzai4All_Leafless.zip, ext4-format_njournal.zip and kernel-EXT4-RFS-Bonzai.zip files to my sdcard.

* I rooted my phone using the OneClickRootCWM3.zip.

* Restarted my phone in Recovery Mode to update CWM to ext4.

* Flashed Bonzai ROM and started phone.

* Installed my apps.

* Restarted my phone in Recovery Mode and ran Reboot Recovery to get to CW 2.5

* Flashed ext4-format.

* Flashed Bonzai4All.

* Flashed Kernel-EXT4

* Restarted phone.

At this point I had a clean install and all apps re-installed via Google. Then I turned the phone off and fully charged my battery. I Bump-charged the battery 6 times (6X) to get a full charge (something I found in another post). Before I turned the phone on I booted into Recovery and Wiped the Battery Stats. I restarted the phone and followed these steps (also something I had found in another post in the forums regarding battery life).

* Turned off bluetooth when not in use.

* Turned off GPS when I didn't need it.

* Turned screen brightness to automatic

* Turned off 4G receiver since I was out of 4G coverage area this weekend.

* Turned off synchronization. Only enabled it throughout the day to sync.

* Left Wifi on as much as possible since I was in an area with wifi all the time.

* Toggled Airplane mode after I rebooted the phone. (the post stated it was a "stupid bug")

* Killed the OmaDrmConfigService process via Settings > Applications > Running Services.

The phone was used lightly over the weekend. I used Bluetooth when making calls and only syncing about four times a day. I also did a few text messages. I fully charged my phone yesterday and am using it more to see what the battery life is with Moderate use. At this point it has been unplugged for 20 hours and still has 64 percent charge.

I took pictures via Shoot Me every 12 hours. These pictures are real, they have not been tampered with. Don't know what anyone elses results have been but here are mine.
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
Ehh..With light to moderate use thats not too impressive; btw..the "bump" charging isn't good for your battery. Theres a reason why it doesn't fully charge; because it's not good for the health of the battery.

Sorry to burst your bubble man ^-^ I've gotten 36hrs on moderate/heavy usage.
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
OP, Did you change your Wi-Fi advanced settings to "never sleep"?
[Epic 4G General] gaaspul:
That's why I posted this...wanted to know what others were getting from the battery. I'm aware of the bump charge issue and this is a one-time thing for me...don't have money to replace it...hehe.

What are you doing to get 36 hrs?
[Epic 4G General] gaaspul:
Yes, my wifi is set to "never sleep"
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Everyone should just get an extended battery and not worry about battery life anymore. I run everything at their optimal settings and the phone lasts forever anyway. Brightness at max all the time, no juicedefender or any of that nonsense. Its awesome. You can leave GPS on contantly. Who cares, you got plenty of battery. And if you absolutely need the battery to last you can just tone down some things and make it last for days. Longest I have gone is:

but I hate running my phone like that.
[Epic 4G General] gaaspul:
Where did you get yours? I've been looking online but don't want to ge burned.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I bought the 3500mah one from ebay. They go for like 12 dollars now. They are not actually 3500mah, but they certainly give a giant boost over stock. They are probably around 2600-3000mah realistically. I have a review in the accessories section. The name brand batteries might be better, but no one has done a objective test comparing them yet and for the price its hard to beat the generic ones from China. People are very satisfied with the Yoobao 2800 mah batteries as well, and those go for around 20ish dollars shipped on ebay. Both are the same thickness and add a little bulk to the phone but you get used to it almost immediately.
[Epic 4G General] Skrewup5:
google this: Seidio Innocell. they have a 3300 mAH battery and i believe they might have a 3500 mAH one as well. so far ive seen nothing but the best reviews for this brand on newegg, amazon, as well as anroid central. theyre a bit pricey, but im not going to let that stop me from using my phone fully without fear of being too far from an outlet
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Save your money and buy the generics. All battery manufacturers blatantly lie about their mah ratings, Seidio included. The only mah ratings that are genuine are from OEM batteries. That Seidio 3300 mah will really be around 2700mah. The criminals even have the balls to charge 6 dollars extra for the cheapest shipping after making you pay $75 for the battery. Buy the 12 dollar generic 3500mah on ebay which at a minimum will get you 2400mah real life or go for the 2800mah Yoobao which will probably get you around the same for $20ish. The generics blatantly lie on their ratings while manufacturers like Seidio and Mugen cheat on their ratings. Either way, you don't get the battery you paid for and at least with the generics you pay 7 times less.

I have no idea how long my battery lasts and frankly don't care as I have 4 of them. Just for the record the OP's method of installing Bonsai! is a waste of time IMHO.
[Epic 4G General] Jimmyjoe:
Wow guys...

OP I just wanted to say thanks for posting the steps you took.. Not everyone is going to agree on the best way to do things. but it is good to see all the different options and opinions..
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
I have had similar luck... But I usually just run the phone all out anyway... Listening to pandora now just because I'm sick of my normal collection... I have another battery I can throw in when this one dies today... And rest assured it will

[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Same. I can't wait until the 2.2 source is leaked. Gonna have my phone overclocked and set for Performance in SetCPU, screen brightness on high, etc, while still having enough battery for a day.
[Epic 4G General] gaaspul:
Top Nurse: This was done before they released the new version. :)

muyoso: I ordered a two-pack generic 3500mAh with charger last night ($26). Again, I had been looking at them but wanted to hear from someone who had used them. In regards to your last reply, I also had my phone overclocked and set for Performance in SetCPU, screen brightness on high, etc, the first time I flashed Bonzai...got 6 and a half hours of battery life and only made ONE phone call...LOL! I've had almost 30 hours of battery life with moderate / heavy use after I posted the original thread, so I've been pretty happy. I'm looking forward to the extended battery.

Thanks to all for the input.
[Epic 4G General] Skrewup5:
I didn't know that to be honest. I was given the impression that a lot of the generic brands seem to have a shorter life even with comparable mAH ratings. I also read amazing reviews for this specific brand even on here. I'm not a fan-boy or anything, but I've been trying to find a decent extended battery for my epic as well. However, I cant go out and spend my hard earned moneys without doing some research and so far ive read that this is one of the top brands. But now after reading your post im not so sure about what to do :/
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
The reasons to buy the Seidio is that you know you are going to get a perfectly functioning battery and that the battery might last longer than generics.

The reason to buy generics are that they are cheap as hell, but you may get a dud apparently, according to a couple people in my accessories thread, and might have to exchange it with the seller.

Either way, no battery other than an OEM battery will be at the rated capacity. I dont know how they are able to claim mah ratings that their batteries simply cannot reach. I mean, I know how the generics can do it, they are based in China and they can claim anything they want without retribution.

I recommend saving your money and getting a generic or even a Yoobao branded battery, because even if it does lose the ability to hold capacity 50% sooner than the Seidio would, you can just buy another 5 and still have paid less money than the name brand one.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I got 38 hours earlier with 3 hours and 42 minutes before i decided to plug it in at 9 percent

I'm on stock dk28

I don't have 3g on because in my house I'm by wifi, outside I'm blanketed in 4g and I noticed that since I took 3g off, my cell standby doesn't even show up in the battery percentage usage so I'm guessing that added to my battery life lol
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
These 4 are probably the biggest drivers. I've gotten nearly 36 hours out of the phone before with light use.

The constantly waking to sync is a large drain in Android.

Also, I notice the WiFi radio in this phone practically sips power. The 3G radio, on the other hand, tanks the phone like no other, moreso than other phones (and all the reviews seem to confirm this by the talk time comparisons).

That and using the display in auto brightness. The display sucks down quite a bit, despite Samsung's claims to its power efficiency.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
See my post above

I got those results with the brightness set to manual (usually I have it at 50-70ish%, putting it up to 100 when watching videos and viewing pics) and the auto sync on

I think it has to do with certain kernals and stuff? Idk but I don't think its worth gimping th features that make it a "smartphone"...

I have a stock battery. Using quantum rom. Getting average use of around 48 hours as well with medium/moderate use. All I use is ATK autokill every 30 with crazy setting and security level low. With same setup and use on stock di18 was around 16 to 20 hours. As well as 2400s quadrant scores
[EVO 4G General] Nnyan:
Ok so I read through the 6 posts I found on these forums (and a number of other posts on other forums) and it seems like these is tied to location services. SO if you remove (for example) Weather then you will start to get the com.htc.bgp FC errors. This is not a really big deal to keep these things on but I would prefer to remove them IF possible and not get FC.

Anyone have any success in doing this? I've tested a number of ROM's and they all have this occur.

I heard about a program called homepipe for android. But never tried it myself.

I tried homepipe and it works but in free version you have only 10 transfers per month, unlimited is paid and this works through internet (files are accessable everywhere, where is internet connection)...it uploads (using homepipe program in windows 7) files from pc to internet account and dowloads it to phone(using phone app). What is more transfer is very slow.

Right now, my Aria is updated to the official 2.2 update ( I downloaded the update through the phone)

I want to root my phone now, so I went researching around here about the rooting process, and found this helpful guide.

However, I also read something about after updating to 2.2, I can't root my phone.

So right now I want to ask whether I can root my phone by following the steps in that guide? Or will it cause problems to my phone?
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Sorry, but if you took the official Froyo 2.2 OTA, then chances are you will not be able to root your phone at this time. This update modified your HBOOT boot loader and the root exploit that Unrevoked uses has been fixed and prevents rooting.

How did you download the HTC ARIA Froyo 2.2 OTA update? To my knowledge this update has not been released.

Hi everyone!

I maybe want to get rid of my G1 with Biffmod 2.1 (and RAM Hack) for something more up to date.

Please let me hear your honest opinion:

Is a HD2 with WP7 (and Android in Dual Boot) already stable and good enough for daily use? Everything running (even Xbox Live and Games)?

I don´t want to spend 500 Euros or more on a new device. There are separate other things that i would know to do with that amount.

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Silberpfeil3110:
I am using my HD2 for approximately 1 month with android, after wp7 came out, i wasn't sure if it's a operating system that you really wan't to use, because android is open source, which is a big plus, but after testing it only 10 minutes, i fell in love with this os. It's simple and that's the thing that makes wp7 so unique. and if has nearly all these functions, that android also has. i would say for ~200€ or less a used HD2 with WP7 is more than a fair price... It's the deal of the decade!

The only thing you have to remember is, that you better buy an expensive class4 or better sdcard, because the sdcard is used with the internal memory as a raid system, and if you use compute-intensive applications you will recognize how a cheap sdcard slows the system down. But that's all :D

I would say start your new life with WP7 :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
Actually, it seems quality class 2 cards work better than class 4, 6, or 10 cards... especially sandisk class 2. The modifications that a lot of manufacturers do to get high write speeds on higher class cards sometimes cause the random access speed to slow, and random access speed is whats important for wp7 to run smooth. I used a class 4 kingston and I was getting lags when scrolling and bad battery life... when I switch to sandisk class 2, smooth as butter and much better battery. Sandisk class 2 seems to be the best choice right now. Not saying other cards won't work, but looking through the forums, sandisk c2 seen to be consistently successful with everyone.
