Yeah, well it's looking like it's gonna end in a warranty claim. I just wish there was something I could do to first confirm that my internal memory is hosed and really not repairable before I bring it back to Tmobile.

It seems like I should be able to edit the partition table to cut out the bad memory blocks, but I don't have experience with this and so I'm somewhat hesitant to crack open that can of worms.

[Android Themes] Strapt:
hey guys, I am wondering if there is a reason why after I make a market widget semit-transparent that the background is a different size/shape then the original solid color

For example I just did Engadget. After I edited the widget_base_plane.9.png and applied the widget the transparency is there but the transparent window does not retain its same size and the text goes over the backgound .. unlike the original one does.

I see that the file I edited retains the same pixel size after I save the edit as the original pixel size of the untouched file.

I did convert to alpha first and then I just changed the opacity to a greater transparency. saved the file to replace the original.

this is the before:

and this is the after:

any ideas would help.

I am using apk manager/7-zip to open/sign the apks and either gimp or fireworks for the image editing.

Using the Mytouch 4g with CM RC1

EDIT: .. this may be in the wrong place .. but the questions thread is just that a single thread .. is this the right spot or did i mess up?
[Android Themes] rhamej:
Did you re-draw the 1pixle borders in solid black before recompiling? If not, then that is why. You are losing the content areas in the 9 patch.
[Android Themes] Strapt:
no I did not ... funny you say that .. cuz I am currently trying to find something on how to do that using gimp .. or even maybe the draw patch tool .. prefferably gimp

im not sure how to go about doing that

from what i have heard is that i have to

1) open the image

2) resize it by 1 pixel less first

3) edit the image like convert to alpha and opacity

4) increase back to 1 pixel

5)then save it

im not sure if those are even the right steps ..

so basically im not sure of the steps or the process for reducing/increasing the pixel.

do i HAVE to draw a border/lines?

do I have to take a pixel off each side?

ya .. basically no idea .. if you know of a good step by step guide or video that would be great. thanks ...as i cant seem to find a damn thing with google lol

EDIT: I tried to use the scale option in GIMP to go from 320x100 pixels to 319x99 pixels .. then edited the image and then back to the orig size. I still get an error in the log that say there was a problem with that particular file about the border having to be full transparent or solid no inbetween alphas .. so im guessing that wasnt the right method lol

Does any one know how to make Soft Keys v3.08 from the marketplace work on our HD2. Its a good application just like button savior but is more good looking and provides soft keys in the bottom with a feel of capacitive style.

The version has been updated on the marketplace but its thread has gone dead here at xda. Some please look into it and tell me how to make it run.

Thanks.

I'm running cm7 rc1 with savagedzen 009. Recording without too much motion and action is fine but recording in my car when I drive causes the video to lag behind quite a lot. This is using the HQ setting in the video recorder in cm7. This is a nasty issue since the longer the video the worse the syncing issue is. I'm using a class 6 SD card

Would a higher class card fix it or am I sol?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MintJulep:
They're multiplying!

Although the .jpg files appear only once in the file system, pictures appear multiple times in Gallery.

Currently I have three instances of each picture.

For a folder with 100 .jpg files, the corresponding album in Gallery lists 300 pictures, each one appearing 3 times.

I imagine there is a simple fix. Like deleting an index someplace, and letting Gallery reindex all the picture files. But where might the index be?

Deleting .thumbnails folders, as suggested in some other threads does not resolve the issue.
[Fascinate General] neyenlives:
so I don't like or want to use any of the available browsers, the stock one with tweaks works for me. except one thing....when using forums, which is probably 90% of my browsing, is using several different forum boards.

when you try to create a new three, reply to an existing one, etc. when the keyboard pops up it moves your active text up out of sight. its hard to use it for this when you can't see what you typed, especially with autocoerect turned on it makes posting in forums rather difficult.

is there any fix?

[Droid 2 Android Development] M4r34d0:
I tried researching the forums, but to no luck I could not find a solution. The phone I'm currently using is the Droid 2 Global. I installed handcent and uninstalled the stock messenger app as I've done with the Droid. I can not receive any MMS messages at all, whereas on the Droid I could. I can usually figure my way out of things, but this has me stumped. Any suggestions or possible reasons behind this?
[Droid 2 Android Development] jerseyh22accord:
as far as i know blur is tied into the stock messager and handcent prob uses the stock messager to communicate with the messages correctly. so since you deleted the stock messager app handcent has no idea what to do
[Droid 2 Android Development] rusty815:
If I remember correctly, hancent and other sms applications are just basically customizable skins over the stock sms app, so by deleting it I believe you lost the ability to send texts

I would agree if it was somthing technical, but something as simple as a topic title or difference between the word "nand" and a version number of OS?!?

the reason why these questions dont get a warm welcome is because the posters dont take 5 minutes to read teh rom instructions or even the guides that are posted in the sticky topics.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rewen:
Hey everyone,

I'm not sure how many of you are aware of this product but I just found it on sale at Canadian Tire here in Canada and I'm very impressed. It's just so convenient.. I can't believe I haven't seen this before. I am amazed by it, honestly.

http://www.tetrax.com/us

Look at the XWAY and FIXWAY primarily. I purchased the XWAY at Canadian Tire for $30 (regular $50). A little expensive compared to what I am used to, but I am very happy with it so far.

The reasons I like this solution:

Works with any type of device

Sturdy and secure. Even holds me 5" GPS (though I prefer to use Google Navigation ;))

Allows for the keyboard to be open on most (if not all) qwerty phones

Allows for portrait and landscape rotation

Is not visible when device is on the mount

Is very small and unobtrusive when device is not on the mount

There are no clips or snaps to fiddle with, just slide off the device

You can use this with 4 devices out-of-the-box as it comes with 4 different sized magnetic pads for your devices

This does not introduce a magnetic field to yoru device (the magnet is broken into 4 and arranged intelligently)

The negative things I've discovered about this solution:

You need a magnetic pad on each device you want to use

The XWAY can be accidentally pulled off the vent if you yank the device straight off of mount instead of sliding it off

Depending on your car vents, the angle that the device is pointed might not be ideal

I will post pix tomorrow if anyone is interested! The site has quite a few to look at until then.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rewen:
Here's some pix!

I don't have photos of it in the car quite yet. I'll try to get some tomorrow morning.

Today I found the FIXWAY at BestBuy and decided that I might like that better since it can be positioned in a better spot in my car. My cars vents are not ideal since the steering wheel covers part of the screen when mounted there. However, even so, the XWAY has been by far the best car mount I've ever seen or used. The FIXWAY should be even better (for my particular car).

I also discovered that the FIXWAY doesn't actually get fixed to the car itself as I thought, but instead it uses a square magnet which you fix to your car. It actually comes with 2 of these in case you want to use this in 2 cars. Like the metal button that you stick to the phone, the square metal that goes on the car has 3M adhesive on the back. It's super strong, works great.

Anyway here's some photos of both the XWAY and FIXWAY I took in my living room.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ldcn:
Very interesting. But, in my feeling, the lack is that we can't orientate the phone ...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rewen:
I guess it depends how your car's dashboard is angled. Mine faces me just fine and the videos I've seen it seems like most work out fine

And for rotation, you can rotate it any which way before or after your phone is mounted.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] racing_md:
I have had the xway for about 2 months now and I love it. If you are attaching it to the vents their is really no reason to have to angle the phone. I agree that if you have some weird vent configuration it may be an issue.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rewen:
Here are some pix of the FIXWAY in the car without the phone on it (all I had to take the pix was the phone). One of these days I'll remember to bring out the camera..

Oh, and good news... It seems that you can actually angle/tilt the phone with the FIXWAY. It must be the shape of the magnet or something, and the fact that the 'X' is rubber, I am able to tilt it and it holds in place. Not a lot, but enough that I was able to cut down on some glare on the drive home :)
