There are different kernel downloads and instructions in that thread for Froyo on a SD card or eMMC. Make sure to download and follow the directions for the eMMC version. Pretty sure the eMMC version is CWM flashable.

Anyone ever seen any good my touch 4G docks?

I used to have the Nexus One desktop docks and those were awesome, but seems with the side charger that the MT4G might not have anything.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] vw671:
Got my last Saturday and loving life!!! Capacity and performance.

About the same speed as my 16GB SanDisk Ultra
[myTouch 4G Accessories] marnold.bhb:
How much did you pay for it?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] vw671:
~$103 @ Amazon free shipping.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] clamder:
i got the same card, and i'm actually thinking it feels slower than my 32gb sandisk class 2 card... the class 2 card tested between class 4 and 6. this lexar seems to read quickly, but the write speed is average at best.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] clamder:
actually.. just tested again after formatting the card within windows using FAT32 and a 32k allocation unit size. It is performing at near class 10 speeds now. i'm writing at 9MB/s and reading at 24MB/s.

prior to the reformat, i believe it was at a 16k allocation unit size.

and what's up with the comment before? dude got a problem with option94? lol
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Jon C:
@people who own this card:

Is there no way to properly reformat the card on the phone? Did it perform poorly until reformatted in Windows?

I've been holding off on a new microSDHC card, due to the high rate of knock-offs flooding the market. It's down to this, or the expensive Sandisk. The problem is, it seems like it's hard to get a genuine product, even from Amazon sellers (according to some reviews). :confused:
[myTouch 4G Accessories] clamder:
im not sure if the phone properly formats or not. it takes too long for me to transfer all my files back and forth...

but my initial format seemed kinda slow. did tests and it seemed to choke.

reformatted using windows with a larger allocation unit size and it seems to fly now.

i can't vouch for any other sellers but i bought it from amazon (sold BY amazon) with the free super saver shipping. it seems pretty genuine to me. not sure how else i can tell if it's fake or not. it came with a microSDHC reader.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Jon C:
Thanks for the info. I placed my order, and I'm looking forward to having a decent number of space on my phone. Pity it doesn't come back in stock for 2-4 weeks. :(
[myTouch 4G Accessories] ps3play:
what should the allocation unit size (cluster size) be for the stock 8GB sandisk card?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] NeverAlwaysEver:
It is up to you choose your preferred allocation unit size when formatting. In simple words, lower allocation unit size = less speed, more space. higher allocation unit size = more speed, less space.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacquevand:
Hi!

i was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue... Or if it is even something to be concerned about. When looking in files, I have noticed that the external sd card directory lists its date as being 1969... After something is copied to it, like a backup file, it changes to the current date... Though if a picture is saved on it, it doesn't. but even when it does change it to the current year it at some point changes it back to 1969. Not just on a reboot either. I noticed this when I had a 8 gig card installed and pictures weren't saving correctly... So I put the original card back in (the one with avatar) but the same thing is happening. (though the pics are saving correctly now) I just thought it was strange, and know that on a pc that can indicate a virus. Also worth mentioning I just updated to froyo from jfd and it did it before and is still after updating... Weird.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacquevand:
non-issue?

Okay, so I see no one thinks this is an issue. I know it isn't a question about rooting, or flashing... but the forum is a general q & a right? I just wanted to add that the directory date lists as 12/31/1969 (not just 1969) AND now more directories show the same date. (obviously they did not before, or I wouldn't mention it) I just don't understand why this would be happening. I have ran a virus checker (antivirus free avg) which reports no problems, (although it sometimes locks up the phone)... I am sorry if this is a stupid question... If it is, could someone please just yell... Stupid Question!! ? That'd be fine!

The new directories that have the date are the /proc and the /sys

Has anyone found any good cases? It seems very hard to find a durable case for the phone. So far all I have found that seems slightly good is the PDair Silicone case but I haven't found any reviews on it. There is also the array of ebay cases that may or may not actually be good.

[Captivate General] Ptrout:
I used to run a Carputer with a 7" lilliput screen and 3m microtouch capacitave touch screen. And I wanted was Pandora and Navigation. So now i run it there via TV out, and hope and pray that they can get USB host working, then I could use my touch screen and just dock the phone.

If not captivate then next phone, I am almost certain that down the road, USB host will happen.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] usalee70:
Hi,

Thank you for the info. I have tried this method with original ROM framework-res.apks and THEME framework-res.apks. The only one that I got to function was Glasstopia. The other ones have always caused a boot-loop after getting to the main screen. Some people have responded that it was maybe faulty png files and some say that it was caused by something in the xmls. I just thought this was important to mention.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MeximCivic:
This is exactly what I wanted but I have a few questions. I have created a theme but when I added the battery images that wanted in there I found that it only decreases in 20% intervals and I want it to decrease in 1% intervals. Im assuming that the theme I based it off of had it in that interval. Any help is greatly appreciate it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
You'd need to modify Stat_Battery.xml and Stat_Battery_Charge.xml in /res/drawable/

In order to do this you must first decompile (not unzip) the framework.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Br1cK'd:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe entries need to be made to the public.xml to account for the new images added to the framework as well. Thats been my biggest hindrance in brining an accurate battery to loki, I always borke the public.xml entries. Ive booted without adding those lines and had no battery at all. Again, I may be wrong but I think those entries are necessary.

Sent from my Loki powered Vibrant on the XDA App
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Not if you're compiling it. Public.xml (or realistically resources.arsc) is updated automatically with any new additions to the drawable folders.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Br1cK'd:
I never knew that, I thought it had to be edited prior to compiling. (Facepalm) Behr, I may end up picking your brain on a couple more framework questions one of these days. And never officially said it, welcome to the team!

Sent from my Loki powered Vibrant on the XDA App
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Thanks :) I feel I should clarify, if you're needing to reference these new pngs in the classes.dex, then it would become neccessary to make the addition.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Br1cK'd:
That brings up an interesting question I ran into a couple versions back. I took my framework, still compiled, added in the pngs I wanted to use for my battery, both necessary battery xmls provided by the creator of that particular mod, and pushed, when I rebooted I had no battery image at all. Booted without error, and the best battery mod ever, infinite! I almost released it as a joke. Then grumbled back to the lab in a vain attempt to fix it. I figured the only thing that could have been amiss was the public.xml entries. Could there have been a more obvious culprit that I overlooked?

Sent from my Loki powered Vibrant on the XDA App
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
It's an issue with the compiled xmls themselves I believe. Pushing xmls from another framework has always been hit and miss in my experience, and abandoned the proccess altogether awhile back. A guarantee you, however, that if you decompile both, copy over the xmls and pngs, and recompile, that you'll have no issue what-so-ever.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Br1cK'd:
Its the recompiling I can never seem to get, never boots when I do and leaves out the compiled xml every time I try. We'll have to jump on Gtalk or pm, so we dont hijack birgers thread here, sorry roman. :D if you use Gtalk feel free to add me from my addy in my profile, its always on on my phone.

Sent from my Loki powered Vibrant on the XDA App
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Don't see an address in your profile :D

Anyway, here's the trick to get it to compile for ya:

1. Use APK Manager

2. Make sure all .9.pngs are ok (easy way to check this is scroll through and make sure you have a thumbnail for every image).

3. When compiling, hit "y" when it asks if it's a system apk and then "y" again to build the "keep" directory.

4. Go to the "keep" directory and delete ONLY what you changed (you also must delete resources.arsc if moddifying xmls, classes.dex if moddifying smali, and Meta-INF folder if modding AndroidManifest.xml)

5. Don't sign unless you modified AndroidManifest.xml

That's it, should work with uncommon exceptions. Let me know if those exceptions come up ;)

Battery Indicator Decrease Intervals

I'm sorry but I'm still having trouble getting my theme to decrease in 1% intervals rather than the 20% intervals the ROM came with. I know they mentioned decompile the theme first then what?

I decompiled it with apk manager then i replaced the stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml and recompiled it and signed it but when I flashed the theme now I don't have a battery indicator on my status bar lol!

Any help is greatly appreciate it! if it makes it easier my gtalk is shadow3166. Thanks!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
First, never resign.

Second, assuming you were following the steps I outlined above, are you sure you deleted the xmls from the keep directory?

Third, did you copy over the 120ish pngs for the battery icons?

If you did all that, upload your framework and let me have a look.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Br1cK'd:
Sorry bout that I forgot I hid it in my profile. I'll pm you.

Those are my steps, I use apk manager and do remove the resources.arsc when editing the xmls. Compile without errors. If I decompile again, the edited xml is just not there. I'll figure it out sooner or later, other apks give me no issue, just framework.

Sent from my Loki powered Vibrant on the XDA App
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
But you're also deleting the individual xmls right?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Br1cK'd:
Yes, from the keep folder when compiling, and also deleting the resources when the xml that was edited is in there.

Got ya added to gtalk. Thx.

Sending Log.txt and Framework

Ok so I continued to use this procedure but keep getting errors on the 9.png there's errors that appear constantly. below is my log file and my framework-res.apk let me know what I'm doing wrong I just want to be able to recompile the .apk with the new status_sys_battery.xml and status_sys_battery_charge.xml

Thank You!!!!

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

Thanks for the tutorial, in other words.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
The problem is exactly what you think it is. Lots and lots of bad .9s. Two options:

1. Find a different rom/theme to work with.

2. Fix/replace every one of those .9s

To do #2, you can either hunt them down using that log, or you can scroll through your drawable and drawable-hdpi folders and look for images that won't load a thumbnail. Then you can make copies of a good .9 and replace all the bad .9s. Remeber, you also must delete the non-.9.pngs that the decompiler made when you do this. (In other words, you'll find bad_image.9.png and right next to it bad_image.png <-----must delete this as well).

That's why I prefer to work with stock or frameworks made by someone who works like I do ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MeximCivic:
Whoa! Sounds a bit time consumming but im up for the challenge :-)

Ok so I start by decompling it and checking the log right?

Then I find all the .9.png that do not have a thumbnail preview and replace them with the original working .9.png before decompiling?

I should just read off the log to know exactly which need modding or it all of them?

Thanks for all the help! Please don't give up on me I want to learn as much as I can if you wanna see what I've done so far I did post a theme called VibDrop but no one liked it :'(
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Nope, here's what I meant:

1. Decompile

2. Go to projects\framework-res.apk\res\drawable (&drawabe-hdpi)

3. Find all the bad .9s (either by using the log or looking for images with no thumbnail)

4. Copy some other "good" .9 are rename it to replace the "bad" .9.

5. Also delete the non-.9 image for every bad .9 (bad_image.9.png will also have a bad_image.png sitting right next to it)

It doesn't matter what .9 you use to replace them because when you go to compile you won't delete those images from the "keep" folder, therefor it won't add them into the framework (It will keep the old ones, which will work just as they did before, but will still fail to decompile)

You other option is to use draw9patch to fix them. This takes a bit more instruction, but here's the short version:

1. Draw9Patch comes with the Android SDK tools.

2. After opening, drag the bad_image.png (not the .9) onto Draw9Patch.

3. For most semi-symetrical images you'll want to draw a border around it that looks basically like this

xxxxxxx_xxxxxxx
x |
x |
| |
x |
x |
x_____________x

Hopefully that's somewhat clear. It's a solid boarder on the bottom and right side, a single pixel in the center of the left and top sides, and nothing in any corner. It's a good idea to click the "Show Bad Patches" button in the top right corner while you're getting used to it. Red lines mean it isn't right yet.

4. Save it to replace the "bad_patch.9.png"

5. Delete the old "bad_patch.png"

6. When compiling, delete "bad_patch.9.png" from the keep folder (all the bad .9s in other words).

7. From now on, all those images will decompile properly.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MeximCivic:
Ok so I managed to figure out how to remove the bad .9 and .png attached to it from the log file and swapping it with a working one.

I copied and replaced the battery.xml and charge.xml

when I recompiled my logged showed undefined fields? I don't know what that is but I continued with the instructions deleted the keep .xml and .arcs files.

any suggestions? I know I'm getting close please help :D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jcc332006:
Thanks for this Roman! I'm getting ready to start trying to theme a little. This is very useful.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Well, the last log is you decompiling, so I assume you mean the one right above it. Anytime you get that long list of bad values, it for some reason means you still have a bad .9.png
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MeximCivic:
oh ok then but that .9.png was fine it did't have an error on it or a second .png image... hm... is there an ideal .9 image? or would any working one do the trick?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MeximCivic:
yeah sorry!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Any working one should be fine. The likelyhood is that you missed one somewhere.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MeximCivic:
.9 images replaced but what's this?

Ok so I finally got some time to replace all those dirty .9 files and now I got a brand new compiled apk but I still end up having this error on the log it doesn't show anything about the .9 files but now it shows other problems can someone take a look at it and let me know what that means? I greatly appreciate any help.

Thank you!!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
You got all the .9s, and you can ignore the warnings. The problem is your new xmls. I'd have to see the xmls to be able to tell you what the problem is exactly.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MeximCivic:
Not a problem here they are :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Sorry been pretty busy lately.

Ya, those are compiled xmls. Gotta use decompiled ones. Here's a decompiled battery mod package I'd given someone else before. If the number of batterycharging.pngs you're wanting to use is different, the xmls will need to be modified.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Well decompiled xmls are edited by way of many different programs. I prefer Notepad++ (not microsoft notepad). After that, it's basic javascript with some android specific parts. I'm not sure of any tutorial for it, but there's probably something out there. You can always ask me questions as you go though.
