OK.. so I want to change the keyboard colors on my phone and I've been reading for a while on apk files and just want to make sure I have it right

I took the original swype apk (after backing up a copy) and changed it to a zip file and unzipped. Went into where the keyboard png files live and changed the color of the text to my liking.

I took the original backed up swype.apk and used the apk package manager to decompress it (files were in projects folder). I copied over my keyboard pngs over the originals and then use apk manager to package it back up I'm pretty sure but

1. Is swype a system app?? Apk manager warns about keeping the signature or not

2. Does my new swype apk have to have the same name?? I now have a unsignedswype.apk file in my "place-apk-here-for modding" folder probably because I chose that

Was planning on using sideload wonder machine to put it on the phone, just wanted to make sure I had everything correct before screwing something up royally
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tiuk:
I've played around a bit with Swype themes. MetaMorph is an easy way to apply your theme. I've also had no problems with copying my Swype.apk from /system/App, opening it with Astro, deleting the files I changed, and pasting in the replacements. Then I just overwrite the original apk with mine using Root Explorer.

Let me know if you need any more help, can also show you how to hex edit the lib to change the trail color (mine is green).
[Android Apps and Games] connoisseur:
Hey guys... I just figured what better place to find an app dev than xda.

I'm looking for someone who has experience developing android apps with a certain level of complexity, and is not currently too involved in other projects. I'm entertaining an idea for an app for business use that may very well be groundbreaking.

If you are interested or know of someone who might be please pm me

Thanks

Hey guys,

When using the browser in HTC Desire HD, when swiping up and down the pages, do you all feel that sometimes when you swipe too fast up or down and stop the page suddenly, the page will still be scrolled up or down as per your previous action?

Anyone feeling this?
[Desire HD General] cwleo8888:
guess this call kinetic scrolling
[Desire HD General] bryant_16:
Erm.. any way to disable it?
[Desire HD General] LordManhattan:
Yes, it happens here to. And i guess you mean that when scrolling, it jump far too long? Or?

[Desire HD General] bryant_16:
Yup that's right. When you do a flick of finger, it gets scrolled down quickly but when you stop halfway, and release it, the page continue to get scrolled down as per like the previous action when you do a flick of the finger. Same?
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
its called kenetic scrolling and its ment to be there :) all you have to to to stop the scrolling is to touch the screen, its so you can scroll long list with a quick flick :)
[Desire HD General] bryant_16:
Yeah I understand but sometimes when I stop it then when I release it got all the way down. Quite irritating at times..
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
It happens to me and yeah its annoying, if you just scroll slowly you have more controll :)
[Desire HD General] bryant_16:
I see. Is there a way to it?

Does iPhone not have this kinetic scrolling, cause I didn't encounter this in iPhone.
[Desire HD General] LordManhattan:
Yup, same here. Doesn't happen a lot, but when it does, it's very annoying. It did also happen on my old 3GS. It happens when i'm "stressing" the browser, so i guess it freaks out, haha.

I searched through pages in development but couldn't find anything on it is there a way to make the picture widget to work on CM7?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
No htc widgets will work on cm7. They rely on the sense frameworks.

You cant even use the sense widgets on stock rom if you use a different launcher.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmboud:
Thanks, any widgets similar to the one i am looking for that can be doeloaded from market where you can swype to change pictures
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
Not that im aware of, if i use one at all, its the stock one that only lets you pick one picture.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ133169:
Its really cold out, i was driving with my jacket on and heat off while the phone was on seat. I noticed it had turned off randomly. I turned it on and made a fast call. Phone was really cold, and after the call it died again. I then powered it on again and checked battery temp and it said it was 17 Celsius. Is the extended probably 20 mn cold of 17 Celsius and prob a bit lower the reason for the phone random shutoffs if this has never happened before?

What are the operating temps? ( hot shut off and cold shut off temps)

& spelling corrected from desktop :P
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ133169:
apparently there is a issue with captivates shutting down in cold temps.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dalkbur:
Hi people.

I managed how to fix the sdcard bug. Instead of linking /mnt/sdcard to /sdcard everytime we boot the phone, we just need to add in chargemon "rm -r /sdcard" just above the tar -xf /system/bin/ramdisk.tar

So now apps like angry birds installs, or apps like dropbox can download files.

The problem now (and before) is that some apps makes the phone reboot. For example you can use Skype, but when you logout and close it (or just logout) it unmounts and mounts the sdcard (why?) and then the phone reboots.

As I don't have enough comments, I can't ask it on the right thread (and it's closed by the way) so I thought Q&A would be fine.

Is someone here using Trip's cyanogen v1.2 and having this issues? If is someone here using it without this issue, how have you managed it?

Thank you in advance ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dalkbur:
It happened to me too sometimes using Maps.

Hey

I use the Thunderbird client on my PC to manage my emails from 4 different accounts. The same four accounts have been setup on my DHD's email client.

I want to be able to synchronize the emails on my Thunderbird client with the ones on my DHD. As a result my DHD email client gets the update email list from all four accounts depending on my emails lying in my Thunderbird client. How would I do that ?

Cheers

[Desire HD General] McKebapp:
Check out if your E-Mail Provider is capable of providing e-mail via IMAP.

With IMAP instead of POP your Mails are stored online (make sure that mails can be stored online for a unlimited time) + offline (if you like).

Thy will be synced at each login (or 5min or so, depending on the settings in your mail client).

I use IMAP with three e-mail accounts via two pcs, two notebooks, a tablet and, of course, my DHD (K-9 Mail)
[Desire HD General] mjehan:
I have four email accounts (google, hotmail, Univeristy, Work)

Googlemail can do IMAP.

So how do I set this up ?
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
So, i noticed all my calls were dying and getting disconnected shortly after the screen goes into sleep mode

that was a major pain in the bullock, and it was very embarrassing talking to the customers and getting DC-ed every few seconds or minutes.

i had to constantly keep touch the screen to keep the phone from going into sleep mode.

so the only work around at the moment is set to phone to never sleep

and sleep only when i hit the power button.

it's a weird bug, not sure when it started, it wasn't doing this before.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Odd I've never had that problem. What are you running?

it says in his siq what he is running .

Samsung Nexus S: Bionix 1.3 beta ROM

Also I have never had that either.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
Never heard this one. It might be hard to track down so maybe a factory reset to start over might be a good option.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
that's definitely in my list of To-Do: troubleshooting

it's just weird never had that before as well.

and i didn't install anything new recently
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
And it says in mine that I'm on a phone which means I can't see sigs smatass ;)

Allgamer, Roger is right. A factory reset and return to stock might be a good test.

[Nexus S General] risegeek:
Can't really get mad when you're using a ROM that's currently in Beta, if you want stability then you should stick with Stock. Just sayin' :rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] terra_droid:
But where's the fun in that? :D
[Nexus S General] knytphal:
Maybe try asking over in the Bionix thread to let those dev's know you're having an issue.

That's a new one to me.
[Nexus S General] fchipm:
Love the title of this topic. I feel the same exact way so often about it, though I've never had your specific issue.

*Losing data connection constantly (and no, NoBars doesn't seem to help me with this)

*Rebooting during longer calls (though I don't have this issue as much as some seem to)

*Every SINGLE download, be it Market or Browser is always unsucessful on the first (or second, or third...) attempt

*The fact that Google hasn't fixed these and other issues

Yeah, I want to shoot my phone many times. But......for some reason, I still love it.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
It's not Bionix fault.

it was something else, but can't find what was the cause

phone is back to normal, after a couple of reboots

some App, no clue which could cause this though...

maybe Fring, or Tango

removed both of them, and phone is back to normal
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
this happens to me very often as well, but that's a separate issue

and i've traced it to be version specific of market

so the solution is to use an older version of market, or use a newer one, just avoid the versions that you are getting trouble with
[Nexus S General] fchipm:
Thanks for the tip. I assumed the Market version had something to do with it, but I wonder what the problem I'm having with Browser downloads is? I don't see a lot of people talk about it.

Also, sorry if I hijacked your thread.

Setcpu

Are you using setcpu? You can't make a profile where the phone sleeps below 800mhz bc it goes into a deep sleep
[Nexus S General] simms22:
i had the same issue, this is how i fixed it...

open titanium backup, press backup/restore, find download manager and downloads(right next to each other), press download manager, press wipe data, now do the same for downloads. now try downloading something, it should work.
[Nexus S General] knytphal:
Strange. I've had both Tango and Fring installed at some point but haven't had the issue you describe.

Good to hear that you've at least got things back to normal for the time being.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
not using SetCPU

but i never had trouble even when i was using it

i stopped using SetCPU after finding out that i actually saved more battery without using SetCPU, than using it.

it also caused some minor lag, when switching between the different speed when set on demand
[Nexus S General] dwang:
Yep, I'm experiencing every issue you've described here.

Hopefully we get a fix from google soon.

My main concern however is the calls cutting out and my boss going mad!
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
did you check which APPs are running in Memory?

perhaps one of those are causing the issue

i solved my problem by removing some APPs that took a life of its own
[Nexus S General] NexusRyan:
Mine reboots randomly during calls too! and I'm on stock gingerbread =[
[Nexus S General] jamiemac1977:
They best sort them issues, i get the reboots during longer calls, occasional issue when answering inbound calls (slider to answer doesnt work until i lock and unlock the screen again) and also some browser downloads fail until retried.

I want to keep this thing, i hope a fix is inbound, or else carphone warhouse will have to send this bag to the big G for me :rolleyes:

Hi,

I would like to have a simple app that makes it possible to use a wallpaper of choice. I know i can use apps like WidgetLocker, but that's quite overkill when all i want is to use a different wallpaper then the one on my homescreen.

How difficult and time consuming would it be to make an app like this?

(Dev of WidgetLocker)

I don't have an answer to your question. But I have technical information on why such an app doesn't exist and how it possibly could be done.

At the app level, rather than rom level, the only way I can think of to do this without replacing the lock screen, and with the wallpaper behind (rather than on top of) the lock screen, would be for the app to change the system wallpaper when the stock lock screen starts and to change it back on USER_PRESENT.

I don't know how fast a wallpaper change can be done and this might cause annoying visual effects during the change, especially since most of the time the user is unlocking to the Launcher, so the switch would have to happen on screen. It could be annoying if the switch didn't happen until after unlock, also annoying, but maybe less so, if it happened before the lock screen disappeared.
[Android Software Development] LordManhattan:
Many thanks for your reply! I have WidgetLocker, but not using it right now, but can you tell us if you plan to release an update with theming support in the near future?

Thanks in advance.

I made this theme with the ladies in mind but, it's certainly also for men if they'd like. its a purpley pinkish theme based on my myst series of themes. If you guys/gals have any suggestions/comments let me know. I had to personally color a huge amount of images I also themed some widget/apps the same color. It came out nice so please feel free to donate :p

Huge credit to

nitsuj17

as the green revolution images and his themed apps were the base of in which i purple mystified.

Included superdark transitions/animations thanks to thatdudebutch.

also credit to sbrissen for the accurate battery and reboot options.

and credit to dtachd for the text removed from the dropdown icons

other credit to Manup456 retrokid223 for the statusbar icons

thanks gimp for helping color the images fairly quick

and thanks theme kitchen for the battery.

small update: fixed a bug where the secondary purple menu text stayed blue

yeah yeah. i'll give you more credit because your the fascinate theming god. but i did give some and i had to basically redo all the images myself no easy ones to copy from this time around.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
i wasnt saying you didnt do a lot of work ;)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
i think you've also gotten the wrong impression about what i said. i never said "credit me for everything" or anything like that. i just wanted to make the point that if you use someones theme as a base (which we have all done at some point) just remember to credit who they credit for various mods or the source work

its a learning process and ive forgotten to do so myself at various points in time. its not the end of the world, but something in the android world that is important nonetheless.

you've clearly put a lot of time and effort into this theme and it shows...and its not something to give up theming over by any means at all

its clearly not neccessary to thank gimp :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kenesis:
Thanks. As you know I am new to this, and I apologize. I do realize now that giving credit is very important in the android world. I just wasn't thinking about it at the time of this post. Of course id like to thank everyone and everything but I wasn't thinking it was neccessary.

Anyway, I did my best fixing it. And I wanted to inform you that's its not a big deal and this deffinitely isn't the reason I'm retiring from theming. I just need a break. Dealing with a lot of stress and pain atm for a variety of reasons. And it tends to make things worse than they actually are. Ill be back in the future. Especially if we get cm7. Again, your work is amazing and ill be sure to give proper credit for the future. I didn't mean to cause a commotion here.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] karib4:
Sure! Now, I'm gonna assume that you rooted your phone because that is the only way you are able to theme. You need to boot into clockwork recovery (either through rom manager or by pushing up/down vol and power together)>clear cache (NOT data)>install zip from sd card>choose zip from sd card>go to the zip you wish to flash and select it>confirm that you want to flash it and then let it do its thing. From there you just need to reboot the system.
