I'm coming from CM7, and just flashed this for the hell of it, but now I got so used to the animations when changing screens or going in and out of the homescreen, it seems like this rom doesn't have it... I know froyo has the same transitions as gingerbread, but this rom none. It feels really dull without it. Can we enable this or do we enable it from spareparts?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Donnie_K:
need clockwork 2.5.x, or 3.0.0.6, 3.0.0.5 is gingerbread only
[myTouch 4G Android Development] oniddy:
Im the other way around Lol i tried ginger and I missed my sense smooth sensation! Lol ginger kind of lags for me... the browser etc, I love the browser of sense its so smooth and wifi is good all around it makes me feel like this rom was made to be run on this $phone$ it's a better experience with sense for me ,but don't get it wrong! I would love best of both worlds but only if is still smooth!.. this sense rom got its little hiccups like when the browser used to close down out of nowhere for instance!!! and it has not even happen for me now that's a a++++++ lets give it to the dev Lol...but it has its little here and theres!! "but I gotta say its very close to perfect! Or how we say 99% and how we say $if its not broken don't fix it$....But I would love to have a mix of both and still be smooth and fast and if not "faster and smoother" what ya say?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Make sure you have the latest CwM recovery, as mentioned below.

You do not need to fix permissions after flashing. They are set when flashed.

This has the stock transitions set exactly as they are stock. I might change thenm but havent decided yet. I will be including spare parts in the update and you can use that to speed up or slow down the transitions.

Thank you very much!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dclaw_fantum:
I found a couple issues:

First, the default notification and ringer sound quality is horrible, I'm guessing that the compression rate was lowered to save on the size of the ROM. It takes away from the experience.

Second, when using the rocker to adjust volume of the ringer, it doesn't make the blocks sound to signify the sound level.

Otherwise I like what I see so far. Thanks for picking up on teamsilence's work.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] powduh09:
Anyone can help get the audio synced back with the boot animation after the initial boot? I love it, but would be great if it were in sync again. Great rom. Excellent change from I.G. Keep up the great work... Can't wait to see a sense gingerbread, all the ones out there so far seem too much like cm7...

You can alter the desc.txt to speed it up our slow it down. Just remember when rezipping it do not use compression set it to "store." The to p line is resolution then fps. 480 800 25<-alter the 25 (just an example)
[Android Software Development] Sage:
Hi all,

Love my HTC Desire so much i bought a Witstech A81E Android 2.2 Tablet. Which is pretty buggy to say the least though on the whole works well.

The one thing that is driving me crazy is a number of apps dont install with the logcat error:

"packagename.apk requires unavailable shared library com.google.android.maps"

Now from what i have read apparently this device does not come with Google Maps API so my question is how do i add it?

Can it be done? Do i need to modify a ROM to do it? can i push it via adb or apk?

A little help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Software Development] evilkorn:
It would need to have google apps installed to be able to access the libraries. Best bet is to find out if it has been rooted yet and try to install the proprietary applications they can't ship the device with.
[Android Software Development] Sage:
appreciate the help mate. i've rooted the device though where can i find google maps api?

the unit already has google maps 5.0 installed but apparently doesnt have the API's.

Any idea what im looking for? will it be an APK or just some files i need to put in a system folder?

i think im over my head :)
[Android Software Development] Sage:
additionally i have searched for any com.google.android.maps related data on my desire and have found the following:

/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar

/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml

/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml

/data/dalvik-cache/system@framework@com.google.android.maps.jar@classes.dex

could it be as easy as copying this over to my tablet?

Ill try it out tonight. :)
[Android Software Development] evilkorn:
If the application is installed correctly it should work because the api is stored in the data. Is the application on the tablet installed to the /system/ or /data/ partition. It might be looking for the data in /system/
[Android Software Development] Sage:
not sure what you mean about where the application resides? you mean the app i am trying to install? The app i am trying to install is Tasker.

i have been doing some googling and saw someone else have the same problem and he managed to fix it:

i simply used root explorer to copy it across though still not working. surely someone smarter than me can tell me what i am doing wrong.

is copying with root explorer essentially the same as above?
[Android Software Development] Sage:
damn i could have sworn someone here would have been switched on enough to help me on this :)

oh well back to random googling for me.
[Android Software Development] Pneuma1985:
Well did you try using terminal emulator? And do what he did? B/c that looks like a remount to system to me easy as pie just do what he did you can find the files with root explorer or do it on your pc doesnt really matter. You can Not achieve what he did just using root explorer you need terminal emulator!
[Android Software Development] no6969el:
I don't know how much it will help (or if its 100 percent true) but I was just told recently that moving a file via root explorer is the same as pushing it via adb.

^correct

Sent from Enrique Iglesias.
[Android Software Development] Sage:
now i am confused. can i use root explorer or not? i used root explorer and then reset the correct permissions on the files though its still not working.

I take it i can get a terminal emulator that runs on the device itself yeah?

Ill try that next.

If that fails i am going to try my first attempt at cooking a ROM :)

Appreciate all the help!
[Android Software Development] Sage:
no more love for Sage? :(

i dont know why its so hard..

I did try to cook the original ROM though unyaffs couldnt extract the img.

looks like i might have to boot up a Virtual nix box.. damn this is so much harder than it should be.
[Focus General] sydneyrodgers:
I have an AT&T branded Focus. I am disgusted at how AT&T has been blocking the pre-NoDo update. I don't particularly want to have this crap at every update.

Are any devs working on a any way of flashing a generic rom & getting rid of the AT&T branding?

I hope we can find a way of getting out from under the carrier's thumbs....

SR
[Focus General] Vico100:
No one is working on anything like that. You can check the Focus Windows Phone 7 Development, and its empty.
[Focus General] blade725:
any working link?
[Focus General] Vico100:
no and there won't be any.
[Focus General] UzEE:
I personally have no clue about where do these ROMs come from, but I'm wondering just why no one is working on the Focus?

Is it really that difficult to crack open, considering that Omnia 7 which is mostly the same has seen a number of ROMs by now.
[Focus General] enigma00:
I am a bit confused:

1. Why do you want the pre-NoDo update so badly? It doesn't add function you can feel or see. I would be upset if AT&T blocked a major functional update, but I can forgive AT&T on this one.

2. AT&T branding? Really? You can uninstall all AT&T apps, and the focus is as vanilla as they come.

I had other AT&T-branded smartphone devices (the latest being Samsung Captivate), and it's much worse on the Android side: (1) can't uninstall any of the AT&T Crapware, and (2) SW updates came VERY slowly. Only after Android 2.3 Gingerbread (Nexus S) was was out, we got our 2.2 Froyo updates.

It's a good thing Android is open-source and we had custom ROMs to address these problems though.
[Focus General] ASPTHEONE:
Right now I don't recommend the Samsung Focus to anyone. This is the only WP7 that do not have any support at all. The only good thing it have is that it is a good looking phone with SAmoled Screen, nothing more. I really regret the day I bough this Crap phone. My next phone will be HTC. HTC owners don't have the same problems Samsung Focus owners are getting. I really don't recommend to experiment with this phone if you don't know what you are doing. You will end with a brick. Also this phone come loaded with a lot of ATT crapware that cannot be removed.
[Focus General] bennyj71:
@ASPTHEONE, did you not read the post above yours? You can remove the ATT apps. I have gotten rid of all of mine.
[Focus General] Vico100:
boot screen is still there.

Plus when you 'uninstall' an app, it just hides the shortcut, the files are still there.
[Focus General] UzEE:
The major issue with Samsung Focus is that it has a lot of issues that can be traced back to the crappy ROM/Firmware and since there aren't any ROMs available online (not even stock AT&T ROMs), people like me who own a Focus and aren't in the US are screwed.
[Focus General] Vico100:
Yea im from Australia and its not the best :p
[Focus General] enigma00:
How often do you stare at the boot screen? Having had the Focus for only a few days, I don't know the ins and outs of the WP7, but it doesn't bother me that the AT&T Crapware isn't uninstalled physically. Are you that desperate to recoup that space? It can't be more than a few MB/app, but I'd be happy to stand corrected if a bigger chunk of FS space can be reclaimed.

By the way, if you hate the AT&T/Samsung so much, I am a little confused as to why you bought the phone, especially when it's intended for the US market, not the Australian.

I sympathize with you, but I don't know how you attribute the issues to the crappy ROM from Samsung. For WP7, there isn't a whole lot of latitude in terms of what an OEM can do to a WP7 ROM. It's tightly controlled by Microsoft.

Also, if you bought a phone from another market (i.e. the Focus is for only AT&T), you assumed that risk and knew what you were getting into. Neither Samsung nor AT&T has any obligation to enable the customer to reflash the phone.

I work in the telecom industry and every OEM is nervous about the end user flashing the phones. They get penalized financially for each device that gets returned to AT&T, and the vast majority of the returns are from an incorrect flashing procedure and/or unapproved ROMs. You can't blame the OEM, MS or AT&T for making it difficult for the end users to flash unapproved ("custom") ROMs.
[Focus General] ASPTHEONE:
Enigma00 We need people who can really say something useful. You are acting like if you where the police. He bought the phone because he like it and is not available on his country. AT&T loads the phones with crap-ware everybody knows that. Look the Android phones like the Captivate is fully loaded with the AT&T Crapware and the Windows Phones are not exception. I think you work for AT&T. Get use to people returning the phones because the AT&T crapware make them to try another ROM.
[Focus General] UzEE:
Samsung Focus is an exception. It is the only phone which supports MicroSD cards so it manages available memory differently. And most of the issues Focus owners are having are because of that. Even though I didn't ever insert a memory card into the Focus, it crashed while I was installing an app and never recovered.

I did know there was a risk getting a foreign phone and I obviously don't expect AT&T or Samsung to just hand over the ROMs. That's why I came to XDA in the first place. Seeking help from the community.
[Focus General] markgamber:
It's probably not that difficult but who is going to spend any time on a phone that doesn't do much out of the box, has a small user base that isn't going to get any larger and runs a system that Microsoft threatens to either change or grind into the dirt (which may be the same thing) any moment? Obviously the answer is "no one" or there would be something available. Personally, I see Microsoft's total inaction as pretty much rendering the Focus obsolete. It's a shame, it's decent hardware, but the system and software support are abysmal. Worse than Windows Mobile, even, and I didn't think that was possble.

You mean HTC phones ARE getting support? I totally gave up on WP7, I have no intention of ever buying another Microsoft mobile device and haven't bothered checking any of the other phone forums so I really don't know what kind of support they get from here, HTC or anyone else. I assumed they were as screwed as Focus owners are.

FWIW, I wouldn't worry to much about being asked about the Focus. I've tried to give mine away at the office and among friends and it's still sitting on my desk, collecting dust. My guess is it'll be in the local landfill in a few more days just because I'm tired of looking at it and being reminded that I actually paid full price for this literally worthless piece of ****.
[Focus General] phoneguy 4567:
@ markgamber

I totally understand your frustration with WP7, but find it hard to believe you can't give it away. Bit of a exaggeration I suspect because who would turn down a free phone. If someone offered me a Focus for free what do I have to lose, since I paid nothing for it MS can take as long as they want to update it.

Throwing it away after you've paid for it what's the point? Sure it will give you a few minutes of satisfaction but you will still be out the cash. When NoDo does come out & then Mango who knows you may fall in love with the phone again. I wouldn't buy the phone again or recommend it to anyone, but you already have it so what's done is done.
[Focus General] kkrull:
Well I have several HTC Tornado WM 6.x phones, docs, chargers and accessories that I will trade you straight across for your Focus. I am not going back. I will even ship an envelope with return postage.
[Focus General] UzEE:
I'll be more than happy to take it off your hands, if you really want to part with it :p
[Focus General] ASPTHEONE:
At last HTC WP7 owners are getting a lot better support for their phones than Sammy Focus Phones. They got Custom Roms, and the updates of the OS works. On the Sammy Phones not even the Officials Updates Works. I regret the day I was blinded by the beautiful Super Amoled of the Focus!!
[Focus General] sydneyrodgers:
My point was somewhat lost in the discussion. According to Rafael Rivera, the wp7 guru who tracked down the data leak problem, an unbranded phone will receive updates from MS when they are released. Phones branded by a carrier will receive the pre-update when the carrier allows it. That is why Rogers Focuses received the pre-update & ATT Focuses did not. I would like to flash a non-branded firmware into my Focus & get future updates when MS releases them & not when ATT feels like it.

I was wondering if there was any way of tracking down an unbranded Focus rom & flashing my phone.

[Focus General] munkeyphyst:
So much negativity. Why no love for the Focus? It's not like you had no idea what you were getting when you bought it. I love mine. If you wanted a super hacked phone with ROMs-O-Plenty, did you really think wp7 was your answer? News flash,wp7 is like 4 months old and nit open source. Android is open-source... Stop blaming Samsung and Microsoft because you didn't think before you bought. Classic buyers remorse...
[Focus General] sydneyrodgers:
Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying wp7. I currently have a HD2 that dual-boots Winmo and Android Gingerbread. WM is still my OS of choice due to its unmatched flexibility. I use Android mainly for games since I dumped my iPhone. Sooner or later I will have to change from WM and I want to use WP7 as my full time OS. But as long as the carriers can block updates , etc, WP7 cannot thrive.

iPhones have jailbreaking; Android has rooting; WP7 will need a way to be openned up to be successful with enthusiasts.

Sr
[Focus General] markgamber:
Thanks but I'll pass. I swore off WM phones years ago when I bought a Fuze and it couldn't do anything faster than a slow crawl. Enough was enough.

Spare me your simple-minded hyperbole. People like you are even worse than the people who can't bend over fast enough for the likes of AT&T.
[Focus General] munkeyphyst:
If by simple-minded you mean clear headed and reasonable, ok. Also, it seems you misunderstand the term hyperbole. For a reasonable example of hyperbole, read your own post concerning the inability to even give the phone away...
[Focus General] UzEE:
So you're basically saying that its not Samsung's fault that their phones start acting up or dying without no reason at all? Even though no other WP7 device has this issue? Like I've said a lot of times before, the only reason Focus is having these issues is because of that MicroSD slot.

Don't get me wrong. I love WP7 and I still believe that Focus is the best WP7 device out there. But that doesn't mean it isn't flawed.
[Focus General] munkeyphyst:
I understand and accept that the Focus has issues regarding the SD slot and other issues as well. The argument being made, though, was that the Focus was a crappy phone because it didn't have ROMs to remove the ATT branding and that it was ATT, WP7, & Samsung's fault for the lack of hacks and independent development on the Focus.
[Focus General] ASPTHEONE:
It is not about not having ROMS. The thing is that the Original Rom or firmware have problems and it is affecting some users. For example the Rom is not suppose to fail if I install and uninstall an app and after that the phone cannot boot. Things like that can be corrected without the need of using the Warranty because it is not a hardware problem. We the consumers need this because the phone warranty is only one year, and like the most of us, our phones are out of warranty because they are unlocked or we bought them out of the AT&T contract.
[Focus General] _LEM_:
Have you heard about anybody else having that problem?

That sounds pretty odd. Maybe there is something wrong with your phone.
[Focus General] UzEE:
I had this problem. The phone never booted past the Samsung logo after that. And I've read similar reports at other places as well.
[Focus General] kalyekabaritan:
The title of this thread is very misleading...
[Focus General] jasongw:
I doubt very seriously you'd have any trouble selling the Focus. I sold an extra one not 2 weeks ago, and it took very little time to do so, on these very forums. I got messages from a ton of people asking about it.

If you want to give it away, feel free to PM me and I'll give you an address to mail it to :)

I'm also frustrated with WP7, but to claim WP7 is as terrible as you claim is patently absurd. It lacks basic functionality it SHOULD have had at launch--that's undeniable--but on the whole it's a fast, stable OS that makes iOS seem like an antique.
[Focus General] aamszia:

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] tcrews:
From what I can see......it "pushes" the music on your device to the cloud so that if you remove the music from the device you can stream it from the cloud.

So the music needs to be on the tablet first and then sync it to the cloud. From then on it can be available to the device even if removed from the device.
