It's in your Launcher.apk not framework. Makes it harder to do for the masses because everybody uses different home app. Not all of them just the ones from your home screen.

ouch!! this is very bad to make a theme... :(

and, in launcher.apk, what is the style name?

thanks for your answer!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] aquariuz23:
So, is it just me or do I find the stock gallery app very sluggish and horrible in viewing pics. It's very slow,lags a lot and jumpy when you zoom in and out. I hate to say this,but compared to the iphone's picture viewer, the atrix's gallery app is years behind. Even my work Bb bold 9650 has a better picture viewer. Does anybody know an app that can replace the gallery on this phone, something that performs smoothly n cleanly?

Also, I find the pics I take really inferior to any other phones I used, even those that are of the same MP. I find the pics very grainy and not sharp, and the colors are a bit off. Is this software related within the phone or hardware? If software, any apps out there I can use to take pics?

Thank you for any suggestions. :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] BravoMotorola:
YES, YES, AND YES! I know exactly what you mean. The zooming and all was just TERRIBLE. I can't even believe they let the phone pass with a gallery as sh1tty as that one! Anyways, I used the Gallery 3D app straight off the Nexus. It works great. (attachment down below. Make sure you have non-market apps enabled with super one click)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] eatkabab:
Yeah the camera app and the stupid gallery is horrible. They have the same **** gallery on the droidX and presumably the other ones.

The stock 3D gallery is better, but doesn't function 100%. Very small things are off like the pictures will be out of order for some reason.

Also, reviewing the pictures from the camera app will just dump you into a jumbled field of images if you use the 3d gallery. For previewing from the camera app, you still gotta use the stupid Moto gallery if you wanna have a chance of finding your picture...

I tried to install the captivate camera app. no luck... :-( This frikin atrix doesn't even have touch to focus. Don't know what they were thinking.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] lsxrx7:
i use " just picture " i like it

pretty snappy
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] aquariuz23:
Oh man the gallery 3d is sooooo much much better than blur's stock gallery app. Downloaded it from the market n it flies so fast in this phone. But yeah still gagging the issue where when viewing camera roll using it jumbles all the pics together regardless of date or folder.

Alright so all we need now is to find a good free app for the camera. Can't we use the stock nexus camera just like we use the stock nexus gallery? Isn't nexus's apps are basically just plain vanilla Android app which should work on any Android phone that is rooted? V
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] olieebur:
I personally use Quick Pic in Market. Fastest Gallery app. Period. It's a shame it can't be used to view from the camera.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&feature=search_result
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] aquariuz23:
Oh, this one is good too, although not as snappy as fluid as the gallery 3D. However, the pictures seems to come out more vivid and sharper, with smoother color gradients compared to Gallery 3D. I like both :D

We still need a camera app. Oh, wait, try vignette on the market. They have a free one that's limited function but this camera app works with gallery 3D very well.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] lsxrx7:
I use camera 360

its decent and give me enough controls over the stock camera
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] vulcan125:
Camera360 Ultimate on Atrix

Are you able to save edits to pictures taken from Camera360? I can take the pics just fine but if I go in to the gallery (using gallery3d from the app store) and edit them I'm unable to save the edits. I can edit/save pics from the default camera app just fine.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] NguyenHuu:
this app is great!!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ekerbuddyeker:
the best camera app I thought was im the captivate as it had anti-shake. I cant figure out how to get it to install on the Atrix though.
[XPERIA X8 General] erichcastor:
Hello... sorry about my english. I'm Brazilian and don't speak english very well, so I don't write very well too. However, to help you guys, i'll post an easy way to get root acess on xperia x8. I had a hard time finding something , so i'm sharing with you my experience for resolve that.

First you must download files in the url below. It's contains the driver and software for celular root acess (SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse)

I can't post url. However you must search files below.

*SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse;

*X8_drivers

Or request for me the url them.

Then, unzip the file root_x8.rar in your computer. There will be two files .zip: SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse.zip; X8_drivers.zip. Unzip them.

Then, go in Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Select USB debugging. And select Stay Active.

Plug the USB cable to your computer and your mobile. In the window that appears on the phone, select Load.

The computer will install the drivers, except one (SEMC). Then go to Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager. On Other devices the driver SEMC will be marked as unrecognized. You must update this driver pointing to the folder created by unziping the file (X8_drivers.zip). Wait to finish the process update.

After the driver is updated successfully, open the folder created by unziping the file SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse.zip. Now execute the SuperOneClick.exe.

On the screen that opens, do not change any settings and click on button "Root" and wait for the process. Will appear a screen on the cellphone, tap in "Load" how often it appears.

During the root, will appear some screens. Read with attention what it says and press the button needed.

Done that you will receive a confirmation message that your phone is with root access.

On my mobile phone was made this way. To confirm, go to the market and download the application Root Check.

Thank you all. And good luck.

I am not responsible for any damage caused to your handset. Do at your own risk. And make sure your phone is loaded during the process.

Doubt, contact-me. I'll answer as soon as possible.

.. one detail. I forgot to say that sd card must be dismount.

Unmount your SD card and go to Settings > SD Card, USB Mass Storage and Phone Storage and checkmark Unmount SD Card.

[Droid Incredible General] The Black Droid:
So I flashed Skyraider today, and my quadrant score dropped 100 points from stock sense. What the hell is going on here....
[Droid Incredible General] The Black Droid:
Sitting at 1032. With the stock ROM, I was getting around 1120.

Why are these scores so low???
[Droid Incredible General] smtom:
Q scores || ROMs

Quadrant scores vary by ROM and kernel, and by different kernels in the same ROM.

Those scores are expected to vary.
[Droid Incredible General] RMarkwald:
Quadrant scores, don't take those to heart... It's all about feel. I've run roms where they might score low, but feel and move quick.
[Droid Incredible General] The Black Droid:
I just don't understand how some of these guys have anywhere from 2700-3300 as their quad score. I would imagine their phones are running insanely fast
[Droid Incredible General] RMarkwald:
Maybe, they are most likely overclocking. Some phones don't like going too high. Like on mine, I can't go over 1.113, or my phone slows to a crawl and locks up/reboots.
[Droid Incredible General] byrong:
Where have you seen people post these scores for their Inc?

I'm willing to bet good money that if you are seeing people post scores that high, they are either:

A. Not running Quadrant from an Inc but a much more powerful device (like an Android tablet)

B. Faking the results in Photoshop (or just lying about the number if no screenshot is provided)

C. Running a setup that doesn't actually run through the Quadrant test properly. For example, Quadrant didn't run properly on Gingerbread roms at first, and the scores that it would produce were extremely erratic. Sometimes they would be extremely low, sometimes they would be extremely high, but they weren't accurate or repeatable.

D. Running some sort of insane setup that is only stable enough to finish a Quadrant run, and will never actually be used for anything

Frankly, even D is far-fetched.

I would be inclined to call a 100 point fluctuation in Quadrant scores insignificant.

If you really want to chase the highest benchmark scores, you'll need to overclock your CPU and run the system as lean as possible. That means uninstalling or disabling a lot of the things that make your life easier day-to-day.

Also, in case you haven't already seen it in your own testing, Quadrant scores are always lowest on the first run. If you press the back button and immediately start a new Quadrant run, you'll get a much higher score.

Like any unit of measurement, Quadrant scores do serve a useful purpose. But as is often the case when the score itself is seen by some as the end-goal, it is often misapplied.

The same can be seen in digital cameras and the megapixel arms race. Everyone wants to brag about how many megapixels their camera is capable of. Everyone wants the highest number of megapixels, assuming that more MP = better image. Few people realize what it actually means, or why it matters very little these days.
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
A lot of those people are overclocking to get really high scores and for all the reasons listed above (nice post!).

You really should not be looking to get that high on the incredible, you'll end up draining your battery like crazy. Around the 1,000 mark is great for playing higher-end games on the market as long as you aren't running a bunch of things in the background. Just about anything else you can think up of doing on your phone should run well, you won't have a sluggish device and you won't be killing your battery either.

If you do end up trying to overclock your phone or using a ROM or kernel combination that will give you a much higher score I don't think you'll notice any difference when doing anything on your phone, but your battery will drop much quicker.

Like other people have said, Quad scores don't matter much- take them lightly as you see them.
[Droid Incredible General] ctinsley:
There is a lot that goes into that score. The highest score I could get today is 1656 but it was consistently in the Upper 1500s, I ran 5 tests.

My setup:

CM7 RC2

Incredikernel 03/06 OC to 1113Mhz/Performance Govenor

16Gb Class 2 microSD card.

If someone is using a class 4 or a class 6 card their i/o scores could be much higher than mine which would result in a much higher overall score than mine. Also keep in mind with Linux Kernels can very alot and that there are different types of task schedulers in them such as BFS or CFS which can have dramatic affect on the quadrent scores. Quadrent tends to score BFS kernels higher. So yeah I can believe people are hitting most of the score they post up. However byrong is right about it not being a setup you'd want to use on a daily basis. For me it causes random reboots, my phone gets hot and the UI becomes laggy after a little while also the battery drops like a brick.

My normal setup that I run on a daily basis is the same kernel uc to 803Mhz/smartass governor. It is extremely stable and is smooth as butter but my quadrent scores are only only in the 1100s with my high being 1244.

Its really not all about the score, if your happy with the performance who cares about the score.

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] qsarklam:
I have a Norwegian Samsung Galaxy Tab and Norwegian Apple Wireless Keyboard.

Norwegian letters "æøå" on bluetooth keyboards are not supported out-of-the-box, so I searched forums without much luck. I found some helpful threads and decided to solve the problem and share the solution. Others can make their own modified keyboard settings quite easily using the same methods.

Using "adb logcat" I found that the keyboard layout files used were the "Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kcm.bin" and "Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kl" (might not be the same on other devices - CHECK!). I had the "adb logcat" going while connecting and disconnecting the keyboard, so that I could see what keyboard files were used by the apple keyboard. I made a backup of these and started modifying them, with success.

DON'T BLAME ME IF YOU DESTROY YOUR DEVICE WITH THIS!

I offer no guarantee this will work for everybody!

HOW TO USE:

"Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kcm.bin" --> /system/usr/keychars/

"Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kl" --> /system/usr/keylayout/

I did this simply by copying the files with the app "Super Manager".

Make backup first. My backups are included just in case.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN KEYBOARD SETTINGS:

I used a hex editor called UltraEdit on pc to change some symbols in the .kcm.bin-file, and I used the "KeyTest.apk" from github to make out all the scancodes and used them when editing the .kl-layout file in Notepad on the phone.

NB! If you use the hex editor, make sure you always change one symbol at a time and always do backups for each little change. Whenever I did some change that the system didn't like, it would turn to using the "qwerty.kcm.bin" as default, then I could use the backup to make it work again.

This is my first attempt of a sort of contribution to this great forum after

using it for years. Hope that others can use what I have learn't to make

their own settings. I have attached my original and edited settings files,

and a picture of the keyboard with scancodes.

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] micronauta:
Spanish anyone?

Same issue, but in Spanish. The wireless Apple Spanish-ISO keyboard mostly works, even the Ñ, but some letters are not right and accented characters like áéíóú don't work. Also, the caps lock key LED doesn't light.

I tried using HexEditor on my rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab to edit the binaries but I can't figure out what maps to what so I'm stuck.

It's just so frustrating to have that nice keyboard sitting around. Would be a waste to have to buy and carry two keyboards, one for the iPhone and another one for the Tab.

To make matters more complicated, I like running the Galaxy Tab's Android UI in English, and I have a Mac so I can't run the suggested bin editors for Windows.

One would think that with the OS X being Unix-based and Android being Linux-based it should be as easy as copying a keyboard layout file from the Mac (or the iPhone) to the Tab, but it seems there is no such luck.

[This is not an Android mobile theme but a

skin for app developers using AVD emulator

!!]

Hi I made an AVD emulator skin for HD2 based on Olaf Encke's works (thread here) and using the HD2 image provided by splinter98. Credits go to these two guys!

This skin might be no use because there could be no one using HD2 to develop Android apps :p Anyway I made it for my self and there is no reason keeping it only on my storage, so here it is.

To install (in my case on XP pro):

1. Download and extract the WVGA-P-HTC-HD2.7z file then put the folder and it's contents in

under your Android SDK directory.

2. Create an emulator according to HD2's specification (if this is not done yet) and edit the config.ini which should be in

.

Find the line which begins with

and point the path where you put the skin.

3. Launch your emulator from Eclipse or Android SDK Manager.

I'm not capable of telling you more about how to install or use it because I'm completely a noob on Android (using App Inventor and not even Java). Anyway it works fin for me both with Eclipse and App Inventor.

I would like to ask if there is a way to enable the notifications tab in the Friend stream on Wildfire? I saw on htc site in the how tos section that the Friend stream does have the notifications tab (the Bell icon), but I don't have it on my Wildfire.

I posted in another thread, but this deserves its own thread.

Charging while using the Atrix sucks. The stock cable that came with it is awkward and the rigid cable sticks out far making it weird to hold with both hands, particularly the left hand.

While I'm still deciding to keep the Atrix or not, if I do, I'll be purchasing a right angle USB cable. You can purchase one here:

http://www.angledcables.com/a-to-micro-b.html

$12.95 + tax + shipping

I hope this helps someone who's chosen to keep the Atrix. Cheers!

Is it possible to go from Stock ROM to CyanogenMod via this path:

1. Using Universial Androot to root

2. Install RomManager from the market

3. Install Clockworkmod recovery 3.0.6 from Rom Manager

4. Install CyanogenMod from RomManager

That would be very easy compared to using adb. And it does not require a PC like the various one click root methods.

It should work?
[Click General] finnk:
I am asking because these optiions are already in the cyanogenmod wiki (some of them put there by me)

And if it works without problems, it should probably be the recommended update path.

I might try it out myself, but it requires me to go back to stock rom, which I haven't done before. If I understand correctly, it is not possible to flash a 1.6 ROM from a new Clockworkmod recovery, I would have to go back to maverick or amon ra recevery?

I am running Cyanogenmod nb 12, and clockworkmod recovery 3.0.6 at the moment.
[Click General] christick:
to get back to stock rom, you just have to connect your phone to the PC, and double click the .exe of the ROM

I am not using windows, and do not have a rom exe file. I rooted and flashed my phone via adb on linux. I do have a nandroid backup of my stock room after it was rooted though.
[Click General] christick:
Then flash back the old amonra recovery, before restoring your backup because it won t work with the latest clockworkmod
[Click General] finnk:
Ok thanks, I just heard from some one at cyanogen that using RomManager to flash the recorvery on a rooted stock rom won't work. So I guess the update path in the first post is not valid...
[Click General] diego72:
Uhm... I think not: is missing the "insmod tattoo-hack.ko" and it will fail the "remount" operation (and then the flash).

IMHO.

[Click General] finnk:
Yes, I think you are right. Stock rom needs the tattohack loaded before flashing a recovery.
[Click General] lfcgomes:
Well, i had a CyanogenMod "installed" on my tatto, and i flashed it back to the stock 1.6 rom without installing anything, without problem.

i guess that's the question, isn't it?
