[Droid X Themes and Apps] droidx11:
first i'd like to thank you for your response. what i am doing is unzipping the contents from framework-res with winrar. (i was planning on just replacing the unzipped folders with the existing folders that are in framework-res, just overwriting them.) then i just pulled the images from the unzipped folder, res -> drawable-hdpi, into photoshop... in the unzipped folder thumbnail image, these images seem to look okay, no border/stroke around the edges, no black bg etc. but in photoshop they seem to have locked layers named "index" which i just change the mode to RGB to make the layer editable. i'm not sure what i'm doing right, i'm sure it's something i'm not doing right, i just can't figure it out - maybe i'll try a different program to unzip the folder?

i've attached a ss of the folder with the thumbnail images looking okay.

(p.s. this theme is for my gf)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] XGX5309:
I've been working on a theme also, though not for the DX... I had to completely remake the PNG's in question. I'm on OSX using Photoshop and it does the same thing. First start with an indexed color version then once you get it done on a block level convert it to an RGB 8-bit image and smooth the image with a very mild gaussian blur or lens blur... personally I use gaussian.

Here's a screenshot of mine in action... I made the "empty" signal bars hollow with a neon outline..
[Droid X Themes and Apps] k0smo86:
You'll want to use 7-zip, not sure about the black stroke on the images, sounds like a .9 PNG issue. I don't use Photoshop personally, I use Fireworks. It could be Photoshop putting the stroke on the images...If you have access to Fireworks, trying using that instead.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Funnyface19:
winRAR is fine too you can open a zip file without having to unzip the entire contents, personally i use linux/Ubuntu which has an awesome photoshop like picture editor G.I.M.P. idk if you can download it or not for windows but you could check it out
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Funnyface19:
lol sure its for HER lol you can use 7zip/winRAR either one but use it to extract the drawable res folder out and pull them into photoshop, edit the ones you want and put them back in the one already zipped up, but if you do it that way stay away from .9.png's
[Droid X Themes and Apps] droidx11:
looks very nice so far, did you edit the analog clock also? looks amazing... thanks for the tips.

thanks for the advice, i'll give fireworks a try and see how it turns out.

hahaha yea i was trying on that pink to see how it looked on me :p. I'm going to try to dl GIMP along with fireworks to see how they turn out and yea i've read about those .9.png's on other threads about how they weren't changing over in certain apps. hopefully i won't run into this problem but if i do then its back to the pros on xda for advice. lol
[Droid X Themes and Apps] droidx11:
Update - Editing the PNG's in fireworks, works like a charm, a lot smoother. Thanks everyone for your useful and helpful information :D:D

You should be able to option +2x click the index layer and then cmd + J in PS to mod it without redrawing it.

Hello All,

Is there any way to make strictly VOIP calls with the native XDAndroid dialer? Such as with the VOIP setup utility that you can add to WinMo that lets you designate a voip server? I have an running asterisk server that I have setup to Google Voice?

I do not see any setup possibilities in the phone settings to designate "VOIP/wifi when data is not available"?

I could not even get Fring to download to my newly setup XDAndroid HTC Touch Pro (CDMA) phone. has anyone else had probs downloading Fring?

Thank You,

Barry

Apparently all 3.15 roms share the same radio. Apologies.

whoa whoa hang on, you say all 3.15 roms share the same radio? but then.. wait, so if i put this 7.51.35.17 radio on it will be no different to 7.13.35.05? im confused..
[Legend Android Development] janarp:
it is

7.13.35.05
[Legend Android Development] :
Technically, is this not supposed to be called the "7.13.35.05" update.

I ran into this thread thinking sugar! I havent updated my radio in awhile or they are updating it FAST, but its the exact same one!

Am I right in saying I think you got the Title wrong? :p

Hello DHD owners :)

I've got my DHD today. I'm familiar with Android as I have used Leo and Desire with same OS. Now I really like the screen on DHD! I want to convert movies and other epic movies/clips I have on my PC. Last year I've ripped all my DVDs to my external hardrive.

Which settings and converter program is best?

Size is not a big deal, 32GB here, quality matters :)

I'm on costum ROM, overclocked to 1,5GHz. Just so make clear I won't have any issues with playback for lager file sizes. I remember I had this on my Leo while I was on WINMO. :/

Thanks for your time :)

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] Elemental_Fire:
Haha same. The HD2 was the only WinMo phone I actually enjoyed using! Hmmmm well you can convert videos in either 800x480 or 720p, as the Desire HD can playback both. However our phone has a screen res of 800x480, so best to go with the native res. Anyways, for high quality, I always use MP4 video format. Codec, Mp4 or h264. Bitrate, CBR. Approx. 1500kbps. Sound, 128-320kbps. You can also crop video to remove black bars, that's your choice. My arsenal of video converters includes: Pinnacle Studio, AVS, and most of the time DVDPean and Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate. Hope I helped :)

Note, too high values for audio and video bitrate can cause your device to lag. Keeping your phone OC'd above 1.22ghz while watching a video for 1hr plus may severely overheat your phone.
[Desire HD General] leppie:
I found this app. Free Video to Android Converter

It looks a little silly, and nags you everytime you exit, but it makes beautiful movies at native res (800x480) from just about any format (avi,mp4,mkv,mov,wmv). It's also a bit slow, due to only using 1 core (I got 8 on i7).

All converted movies can play in the default player, with hardware decoding of course.

The settings I use is the preset for HTC Desire, Nexus One. Havent had to try any other formats.
[Desire HD General] Tunay:
I play games on my phone @ 1,5Ghz Or, I did on my Leo. It did get pretty hot(!) but never caused a damage. So I think it will be safe :D Atleast, I hope so :)

I'll try this settings when I get home. I do a bit video editing, I usually use Sony Vegeas PRO. You can check here, I have only one video on this account, but few more in my other. www.youtube.com/user/ITuNaYI

I'll check if I can do it with Sony Vegas PRO! :)

I'll check this as well when I get home :)
[Desire HD General] kokojie:
i think format factory is the way to go, just use native resolution 800 x 480
[Desire HD General] Elemental_Fire:
Looool! Damn I miss GTA IV...so fun when first released, now everyone's on COD :o
[Desire HD General] Tunay:
lol :D

I still play GTA IV, have done that for 3 years now. And there is a few pro players left. But it is like, everyone knows everybody. I also do have CoD BO, but not fun as GTA IV. Sub for more vids :D
[Desire HD General] unclehooi:
DHD native player doesn't play flv format. Unconverted 700Mb video doesn't play smoothly on my DHD. It seems to lag badly.
[Desire HD General] HanZie82:
I have no problems playing video's on my DHD.

It's still stock and i use Rockplayer to play video's.

I download a TV-show from the internets and i put it on my phone and it plays almost without lag.
[Desire HD General] Tunay:
Okay, guys, I'm back now. I had to flash a new ROM as it did not support HQ video playback. Now, I'm on Android Revolution HD, with LeeDroid Kernel. Overclocked to 2Ghz (!) I'm getting exlent performance.

I had totally forgot that I had Any Video Converter Professional, bought years ago. However, I'm now converthing a 1h 16m long Top Gear epsiode, just to give it a try.

Settings are;

Video Codec: mpeg4

800x480

Video Bitrate: 2500 (just testing it out :D)

Video Framrate: 25 (what do you think? This is default, should I change it?)

Audio Bitrate: 320

Sample Rate: 44100 (?)

EDIT!

I've rolled back to 1,2Ghz, as I did really not see any big improvment @ 2Ghz. Heat vs. performance ratio is not worth it.

However, I'm still converting that video. The problem is that the output file is about 1GB now :D And the input is 699 MB :D

It must be the high video bitrate!

UPDATE:

The quality is amazing! The final size was 1,44GB. But it is just perfect! I'm now converting even more :D

yet another UPDATE:

The avi files I have converted is in amazing quality. Now I'm converthing a Blueray movie. Lets see how this ends up :D
[Droid X General] jhnnyblze2000:
Anyone know of a rom out there for the Droid x that has the wifi and bluetooth controls in the notification bar like the galaxy s. I've looked at a bunch of different roms and can't find any. I am currently running fission 2.6.1 and love it but would like to try something new.

I'm using power control plus its like two dollars in the market, and is super customizable.

Hi, I'm using the latest original firmware with speedmod kernel k13a. Is there any trick, mod or app to add reboot download ,reboot recovery to the reboot menu?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajuki:
You will need a custom ROM. Most of the Extended power menus are from these kind of themes from here http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=666
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Just search on the market for widgets, or shortcuts for this. No need for a custom rom, if you are going with stock (dunno what you mean with latest firmware, jsut the latest kernel ? or whole custom rom?)

I use for this SGS Tools (or toolbox)

EDIT: Read wrong,if you just need to reboot menu change, then the guy above was right. But why you would need it ? I mean I am happy with the shortcut/widget/menu item. Doesnt have to be an extended menu :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seo-agentur:
Thanks for your answers, but I guess I have to reverse engineer it to find out how it works, there already exists a reboot mod but for dh-700 or somewhat : ) the idea came from checking with root uninstaller, there's a system app called shutdown.apk.
[Droid 2 Android Development] gammaxgoblin:
im hoping to generate a consensus from this post. i see some ppl like to sbf before each new rom install and other not. is it necessary and why>?
[Droid 2 Android Development] boogerburns:
From my understanding of the ROM development for the android platforms that still have to have proprietary frameworks, ie: Motoblur (droid2/X) and Touch Wiz (Galaxy S) you are not wiping and installing a whole new operating system like you do when you flash a HTC phone. So youre really just adding onto what you already have as a base. So it would be like taking a car and taking out stock parts and swapping for performance parts like exhaust, intake, etc.

This is just my understanding, it could be wrong. But my opinion and preference is when you change development teams like team defuse to say Jrummy16 roms, I like to SBF to stock to have a clean base. Sure its a PITA, but it keeps things from going horribly wrong.
[Droid 2 Android Development] miketoasty:
SBFing before installing a new ROM is something I would recommend. I have had slight problems such as the clock keeping the color from the ROM before it, and just minor stuff like that. I really don't think its needed but I would say if you plan on keeping the new ROM for a long amount of time it would be better to SBF first just so you know that everything is going to be okay.
[Droid 2 Android Development] droid void:
I would also advice to sbf back to stock, reroot and then insstall the new custom rom you want to run.

the only reason is since the roms are all diffrent then one another and have to generall base (besides stock) then flashing (sbf) to stock is a good idea to have the rom running at the fastest most stable potential.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woofiegrrl:
I'm getting a force close error on com.android.settings any time I try to access the Display settings menu. This thread seems to indicate that a font is to blame, but I only have one font installed (Felbridge FlipFont) and uninstalling it didn't fix the issue.

I use Handcent, which allows you to see all the fonts on your system; several apps have their own fonts, but I don't think they appear in the font picker so I don't think they're to blame. (I've tried uninstalling a few to see if that helps.)

I am using official Vibrant 2.2, installed recently through ODIN. I seem to recall that all apps stayed put when I upgraded except the FlipFont, which I had to redownload. But again, uninstalling the font doesn't do anything, so I'm not sure it's the issue. I'm not rooted either, and I'd be willing to if it would fix this, but I haven't found info yet on rooting froyo for the Vibrant. (I'd rather not root if the problem can be fixed without it...my G1 was rooted but I prefer not to root the Vibrant.)

What else besides a font issue might be causing FC on the Display menu?

ETA: This odd language issue wasn't it either, though that is from the Oxygen ROM discussion area.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regP:
I've had that problem on past ROMs, had nothing to do with fonts. My first idea would be to try and fix permissions in ROM Manager or Clockworkrecovery but since you arent rooted I guess those arent options. Only other option I see is to reflash the ROM.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woofiegrrl:
Just reflashed in ODIN and it didn't work. I am going to see about rooting, because I have no idea what else to do!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
What rom are you running? Are you installing any themes over top of it?

Powered by Axura with a dash of Voodoo
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woofiegrrl:
I'm running KA6, straight from Tmobile. I am using ADW.Launcher and I have a couple of themes installed for it, is that what you mean? I've already tried uninstalling ADW but I didn't uninstall the themes. Will try that now.

I'm fully rooted now, FWIW...first thing I did was kill off the startup sound!

ETA: Removing themes didn't help (if that was even what you meant)

ETA (again): Fix permissions through ROM Manager didn't fix it either. I can't imagine what it would be at this point. Someone on the Tmo forums suggested that perhaps I had uninstalled the font I was using, and I should reinstall it - but I have and it didn't help.

I suppose as problems go, not having access to a single settings screen is minor; the phone is fine otherwise. But still...I'd like to have those settings.

ETA (three!): Found this thread on the Tmo forums where the person has the same problem I do. People suggested a font issue again; one person suggested a factory reset. The OP never replied to say if that worked, so I'm still exploring other options; I'm running Titanium Backup meanwhile in case I do have to reset.

Thanks for your continued thinking on the matter!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woofiegrrl:
Well, this warrants another post, rather than editing.

Apparently I'm an idiot. Somehow I was set to use a font that I had uninstalled. As soon as I remembered having tested the font (refunded, didn't like it), I bought it again, reinstalled, and Display settings came up perfectly.

So it was a font issue. It cost me $1 to fix...oh well. Everything is fine now. Ha!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcjais:
I have the same problem and am stuck with a FC. I had 5 fonts, uninstalled all 5 of them, no luck. Reinstalled them, yet no luck. After an uninstall, my current font theme did not change, so was wondering how I could change it without going to Settings->Display?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakizard:
My Captivate has never been very good. It has a bad AT&T update server thing, it randomly presses the search button for no reason, its laggy and the internet doesn't always work, even if I have a good signal. I'm looking for another android phone, but not a Samsung. I want to be able to sell this

Captivate that is 2.2 and rooted w/ Evo Black Bar mod. It is in fairly good condition and I've had it for 3 months. And using the money I sold it for, for another phone. Right now i'm really looking into the HTC Inspire 4g, but should I wait awhile longer to see if a better phone comes out soon. I've always liked the HTC Sense UI, so I'd want it to be an HTC phone.

Thanks!

if you like htc wait! the inspire is great, no doubt but in 2011 there should be a dualcore phone coming out from htc. there should also be one coming out from samsung not that you are interested.

it's unfortunate that the search button presses itself but the internet thing sounds like either a rom/modem problem or an att problem. have you tried andromeda or the latest cognition based on the rogers release? there may be reasons not to go with samsung but if your reasons are isolated to one broken phone maybe you should exchange it and give it second chance. what ever your decision thanks for not starting a flame war with bitter complaints that have no relevance to anything like others have.

I cracked my old phone and got a replacement from Asurion, and they sent me a refurb with a bum trackball, which scrolls around the screen and doesnt even go down (sucks, i cant root it now without a modded recovery).

The guy at the Verizon store said i had to call Asurion since they issued the phone...

I just got off the phone with Asurion and theyre sending me a new one tomorrow or something, and they refused to give me an upgrade.

If my next one has a problem, what should i do? I refuse to deal with this.
[Droid Eris General] Zalatorisaurus:

[Droid Eris General] Pokelover980:
This is why I don't use Asurion. I just have BestBuy insurance, which covers absolutely everything that could possibly happen to my phone (my sister has dropped her phone in a stream and thrown it against the wall and their policy covered it, and she got a new phone the first time, and the second time her phone was discontinued so they gave her an upgrade). I'm careful with my phone though, and honestly I thought I'd break it much quicker (I'm very clumsy). I've had my Eris for about 8 months now and nothing has happened to it at all (hardware wise, anyways. I did almost brick it once, but I fixed it rather quickly).
[Droid Eris General] whoxp:
You could ask to speak to the supervisor of the Asurion rep. Chances are that if you express deeply enough of your unhappiness with their poor service, they will probably help you out. Since you have probably paid enough in insurance to buy a newer phone.
[Droid Eris General] orkillakilla:
Since you got the phone from Asurion, Verizon won't do anything for you now. I haven't had much experience with Asurion, but I believe they would be less inclined to give you a new phone since it's pretty much the only insurance you can get for phones ( I don't know if the Best Buy insurance is available to only phones bought there or not).

You can try talking to a supervisor and might get some luck. It's worth a shot. If not, I don't think there is much else you can do aside from buying a new phone yourself.
[Droid Eris General] Nikolai2.1:
Well they sent me another replacement for free this time, and with a working trackball.. i kinda wish they didnt so i could complain again lol. Dont ever work with Asurion, I swear the first refurb they gave me was a chinese copy, it didnt even say HTC on the phone:confused:
[Droid Eris General] zerocool79346:
I got an Asurion phone and when it broke (the question is when, not if with those) I just called VZW's CS and got them to send me a replacement, never dealt with Asurion after that, and I vow to never do so again.
[Droid Eris General] mhrebin:
I broke my first eris, got a replacement from asurion and the soft key lights didn't work so I called back the next morning after getting it and the guy had me do some reset tests and such and that didn't work so he had a brand new eris sent out to me. I got to keep all the extra stuff that came with the replacement, all I had to do was ship back the phone body itself. Guess I made out good since I only paid 50 bucks for the replacement and got a brand new eris out of it along with two new back covers, two batteries, two chargers and an extra 8gig sd card. lol
[Droid Eris General] kaze06:
Asurion is a miserable excuse for an insurance company. It's borderline fraud what they do. I had to replace an old flip phone a few years back and they gave me one whose screen wouldn't shut off when flipped closed, and it would hardly flip closed anyways because there was no spring-action to the flip. It was just one continuous resistance-filled motion.

This is exactly why we dropped insurance on our phones.
