Hope this isn't a double post.... I would like to change the lockscreen image to something other than the background of the phone. Maybe through editing the .xml file on the phone? etc. Anyone know of how to do this?

PS... PLEASSEEEEE don't reply with anything about widgetlocker. I know it exists I know it can do this but and I am not trying to nor do I want to use it for various reasons :D ...

Thanks in Advance.

Here your are :-)

had a little trouble with this, but here's a full guide that worked for me :-) "tools used apk manager 4.9"

using the apk manager

1. pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk (option 0)

2. Decompile apk (option 9)

3. add your pic to drawable-mdpi (must be a .png) eg. lockscreen_background.png

4. open the file res\layout\keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml with notepad, and find the line

<RelativeLayout android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:id="@id/root" android:background="#70000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"

change to

<RelativeLayout android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:id="@id/root" android:background="@drawable/lockscreen_background" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"

5. compile the apk (option 9)

(when recompile do)

5.1. Hit yes to "system app".

5.2. Hit yes to restoring the files:

6. -Open the "keep" folder and delete resources.arsc and res\layout\keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml

7. when done rename unsignedframework-res.apk to framework-res.apk and put it back to /system/framework/ again (i did this in recovery)

Done :-)

or can you change the lockscreen background to a dedicated image through ninjamorph? anyone have a quick tut on how to do this with a droid x?
[Android Apps and Games] Honda2012:
Hey everyone out there!

a few days ago, I saw the post about the honeycomb layout for galaxyTAB and I watched the video and was wondering about the lockscreen, which is in Landscape Mode.

So as the title says, I'm searching for an app which can make Lockscreens in Landscape mode so that I can design a "Honeycomb-Like" Homescreen.

I would have a great idea for programing an 1:1 copy of the Honeycomb-Lockscreen, but the problem is that I have no know-ledge about coding and programing android apps.

So my recommendation is:

Landscape Mode

Honeycomb Background (with the circle)

Honeycomb Clock Widget

a transparent area which has the form of this circle

in this circle you should can move the lock-symbol from HC.

So, for me it looks very easy, when we see what we can do now with Lockscreen Apps.

I think, if anyone out there can make this or something similar, all Tab-Users would be very grateful.

So.. back to my main question: Who knows an App, which enables Landscape mode in the Lockscreen ?

I recently did my first flash.

I am on seeARMS rom (JL2) using the SOK (super optimized kernal) via 2.2 froyo

Basically I flashed the Kernal via ODIN then the ROM via CWM recovery.

I have this speedmod kernal that I did not use. I am curious to try it out. My question is simple, do I have to use ODIN to flash the .pda .tar file or can I just put it on my internal SD and boot into recovery (CWM) then select install from zip and locate the .tar ?

do both work ? do I have to change anything else ? remove lag fixes ? do I lose data ? etc. or is it just simple as changing kernels as often as you want via CWM ?

Sorry about the newb question.. I'm learning.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttf:
Disable the lagfix and all tweaks, clean your dalvik cache, cache, dl the CWM speedmod put it in the root sdcard, install from zip, and you good to go. It shouldn't affect your actual Rom nor your apps.

Hello All,

I can get the bluetooth to pair without issue; however it will not connect to my DroidX. Anyone else run into this where it will pair with a bluetooth device but it will not connect after that?
[HTC Inspire 4G] winsettr:
I'm curious if anyone has seen a similar relationship: I have read several posts about devices that will randomly stop rotating, and only a reboot will restore the function. I had never experienced this problem until installing and playing Meganoid yesterday. After playing I noticed that the screen will sometimes stop rotating, either getting stuck in landscape, or refusing to switch to landscape. I contacted the developer and was told that they don't mess with the rotation settings so its not their problem. However, I noticed after launching the game that the notification bar switched to landscape even when I am holding the phone in portrait (similar to most games...). I have since uninstalled Meganoid and now have no problems with the rotation sensor (note, I have several other games that play in landscape). Any thoughts or similar experiences?
[EVO 4G General] Neo3D:
Is it even in their roadmap?

Last year, when they released the Evo, official news of Froyo was released shortly after.

But, I haven't heard anything official about Ginger Bread?

Maybe they are too busy working on the Evo 2 and maybe they are saving those for the Evo 2 so that we all can upgrade?

Speaking of Evo 2, it's March already and still no news leaks about an Evo 2?
[EVO 4G General] phistyle:
I doubt it...I usually see htc phones get one big update and that's it. They want you to buy the the next latest and greatest htc phone when it comes out.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
We are gtting the evo tab, evo 3d and nexus s 4g.

The EVO 2 was just something started by the community... who knows if it will ever actually happen.

About GB, I don't think anyone has received an update to it besides Devs phones. Some phones are gonna have it on launch...

If the EVO does get it, I kinda feel like it will be later.
[EVO 4G General] gomorrah:
Of course they will. There's already a leak out of the one for the Desire here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=983847. If they get, we'll get it either way.

[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
50% on official release for evo

99% on custom ROM... so I am good.
[EVO 4G General] Neo3D:
True! If the "Evo 2" gets GB + Sense 2.1, it should be even easier for XDA devs to port and have Wimax working.

I am planning to buy the Motorola Gel Case, but I am looking for something like a "rubberized hard plastic" not just soft rubber.
[Xoom Accessories] funnycreature:
It's a silicone case. It's definitely not hard plastic.
[Xoom Accessories] feron:
nope, like a matte gummy bear... it's o-k.. beats the portfolio case (that I wanted to like but it nicked the top of my first xoom).
[Xoom Accessories] it2steve:
I think I may have some coming in this week. They are not gel but rather a hard shell. The ones that I am getting are clear. I do have a friend that does plastic and fiberglass 'dipping' so I was going to take them to him and see what he could do. I't sit's relatively inexpensive this would be ideal as I should have free reign over colors / patterns. I'll probably just start with a few black and carbon fiber to see how it goes.

I've been helping out in getting accessories for the Viewsonic gTab from oversees. I mainly get custom cases, docks, and screen protectors since non of that stuff is really available here in the US. It was getting so hard to PM and email back and forth that I finally just put up a small site to manage everything and all's been well for the last few weeks.

Im hoping that I can get some stuff for the Xoom here soon as there aren't too many options just yet and probably won't be until the prices drop and more are out there.

I'll keep you updated and do a review and throw some pics up when I get something.

[XPERIA X8 General] sach1000rt:

what resolution in mp4 format?

and what if i flash with custom rom like 2.2 or 2.3 ?

i think i read some review on some website saying it plays upto wvga res videos.
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
Xperia x8 screen resolution is 340x480.

I read somewhere that it can play HD mp4 with some apps from market (stock player fails to play them).

For the custom firmware:

Its linux, you can do everythink that linux can do but you will have to program it first (codecs). So, everythink is posible.

This is just a thank you to all of the devs, themers, modders, etc...

I have just recently learned how to start theming my own device. All is going very well with this, and is working just fine. In the process of learning how to theme, I have also learned just how long it actually takes to get these things right. This has definitely opened my eyes to this process and I now see that this is a VERY time consuming task.

So with that said, I now have a new found respect for anyone who takes the time to modify these devices and share it with us all... so to you all, I commend you and say thank you. :-)

Hey everyone,

First contribution here : a boot screen animation based on KITT's scanner as you will see below.

I made it blue, but I plan on making it red and green as well as soon as possible. I may take requests, provided I have enough time to make them happen.

WARNING : This is for 480x800 phones only!

Click on the thumbnail below to obtain a small animated preview. It looks much, much better running on the phone itself, but I am limited in image size so I can't show it in its full glory.

Don't hesitate to provide remarks/suggestions/insults.

[Vega General] O_G:
Hi all.

I changed my vega a week ago after the screen became unresponsive to multi touch on the right side. (Which pc world changed no problems, more than three months after purchase) I find that the screen responsiveness a LOT better.

I get no more sticky keys on the keyboard, which was the main problem with the vega. Multi touch seems a lot smoother now to, making google maps a lot better to use. Also there are no accidental presses while scrolling. Maybe they have changed the screen? Cant be software as i am running exactly the same as before.

The new one i got had flash pre-installed (v1.09 firmware), comes up at pc world as a different product as the one without flash pre-installed. So if you have to change yours, try to get one that has flash already on the device. (it will say on the label on the box)

Has anybody else had a similar experience after changing there vega?
[Vega General] Piranf:
Yes, had exactly the same here (mine was registering a single touch as a dual touch) replacement seems better than the first one ever was - in fact quality of the screen seems better in all respects - not sure whether this is just coloured by the relief of having the tablet back and working properly ...
[Vega General] Logseman:
If this is true, I'd consider the idea to ship my Vega to Advent. The double touch thing is maddening.
[Vega General] dagbro:
I've never had any touch issues with my 2 weeks old POV Mobii.. well on AC power there are some issues, mainly when moving homescreen icons because sometimes it thinks i dropped them when i really didn't.

It's definitely not unusable on AC though, much much better than what some of you seem to be experiencing.
[Vega General] IndyUK:
I went to PC World last week to get my Vega swapped (screen problems) and they said it is not a Code 5 and will have to go for fixing. Personally I think they should swap it straight over considering the amount of Vegas with the same problem. I tested the one that was on display and you're right, it is slightly different and the screen looks better, and certainly didn't have this screen problem. I'm going back to the store again tomorrow to see if I can convince them to swap it. I don't want to have it fixed because in my opinion it's a manufacturing problem/issue.

Just out of curiosity, how have people here persuaded staff at the outlets to do a straight swap? This is my first dealings with PC World and it's not looking good.
[Vega General] O_G:
I purchased mine online and returned it in-store. You are right they say its code 5, but there is a number they are supposed to phone to check if they can change it. Sounds like they are giving you the run around. Tell them they do not repair them they do straight swaps. So if you returned it by mail, all they would do is send you out a new one anyway. I used multi touch visualizer to demonstrate the product was faulty, and they were very helpful at the Gloucester store. Might also be worth checking online, to see if they have them in stock.

Also forgot to mention, since changing my vega. I can use the device with now with no screen problems with the device plugged into the ac. I would recommend anyone who has any of the screen problems to return there vegas for a replacement. You will not regret it:)
[Vega General] IndyUK:
Good news! I managed to swap my faulty one for a good one. I went into the store this morning and explained the situation and this time I managed to convince them that they just need to swap it. They obviously checked with their support people who told them exactly what I kept telling them myself. Anyway, I'm just over the moon that I've finally got one where the screen taps don't stick. No I can begin to enjoy the device.

I have also noticed that the screen seems better on this replacement. Maybe Advent ironed out some screen issues, although its a shame they didn't do anything about the viewing angle. No worries as I'm still happy with it. Right....got to find myself a nice stand so I can use this as my music player.
[Vega General] Budius:
Hi guys,

Great news u give me... I'm definitely getting my replaced.

Any thoughts on what are the key phrases u must tell them to get it replaced??

As English is not my first language any tips on dealing with it will be much appreciated.
[Vega General] IndyUK:
Hi Budius

If you're returning it within the 28 days then they shouldn't query anything with you (that's your consumer right). If however like me you're over this period then get them to check with their support people, who will hopefully advise them that this is a straight replacement item. I even mentioned that I'd looked around on internet forums and there were many in the same position (implying that this is a manufacturing defect, is the device's only means operating and therefore should be replaced at no cost to the consumer) and all had their device replaced. Good luck and do let us know how you get on.
[Vega General] Budius:
Thanks mate,

I'm just finishing some backups and flashing the original rom and will be on my way in a bit.

I checked and I'm within 28days, so should be straight forward.

I'll let u guys know when I'm back.
[Vega General] Budius:
Hi guys

Yeah I changed it yesterday and as expected, as I was within 28 days, it was prettty hassle free.

I just showed the corners not showing properly and the keyboard repeating like crazy.

The new one I could notice the plastic material on the back a bit different, and for sure it is a different screen,somehow nicer.

I couldn't figure out why adb doesn't want to work in my girls crap old PC, so no clockwork recovery, but testing just the keyboard, there's definitely an improvement.

Cheers
[Vega General] dagbro:
Budius; you can flash CWM without a computer if you get a root-capable file manager and terminal app.

move the files(instead of pushing them) to /data/local/ Then you just remove "adb shell" from the two shell commands and type them into the terminal. Done!

why? - adb shell just runs your commands through the android terminal, so "adb shell XYZ" on your computer is exactly the same as running only "XYZ" in the terminal
[Vega General] Nutsonfire:
I just got a POV tablet (Vega clone) and multi-touch works fine. The viewing angles arent so great which i guess is normal ^^

The tablet did not have flash so its not so recent, but probably not so old either.
[Vega General] Budius:
I'll keep it mind for next time. But now I'm already in the train on my way home...

[Vega General] O_G:
Hmm, thats odd. maybe its after the v1.09 update they fixed it. My vega is far better now. Bad luck.
[Vega General] dkampo:
Hi

I ordered my vega from ebay and i am waiting for it. The seller said that he bought on 22 February. Is the "fixed" version or the old one? How can i find out which version is?

Cheers
[Vega General] O_G:
Hi There.

Others have said the plastic on the back is different but i have had mine in a case. So i cant remember what the old one was like. The biggest difference i have seen is with the keyboard. If you get sticky keys you have the old model. As the device was purchased after the v1.09 firmware, there is a good chance you have the newer model. If the device is in the original box it will have a label, if that says it has flash pre installed, the chances are you have the newer model.

Good luck:)
