[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
When you flashed, did you wipe your cache? With a new rom it always takes a while to reaquire your location. I use the app HereIAm2 from the market to get that first position lock after a rom flash.
[Galaxy Tab General] Digiguest:
Yes I did wipe the caches. Will try that app out if it is free.

Thanks.

EDIT: Noticed that the compass seems to be very inaccurate as well. Weird.
[Galaxy Tab General] litania72:
Oh well, that's the least of my probs;-/

i have installed OC 1.2.1 and at one point the whole tab became very sluggish....and all sort of issues appeared such as slow browsing.......then the tab would simply freeze! Reboot did not help at all....

I have since installed OC 1.2.3 with the new kernel and it went ok-ish. But today after rebooting i have all sort of errors (broken messaging service, when i click on the wifi tab to switch on, it says 'error'.etc).

I wonder if others have this sort of probs. I cannot understand how it can work fine for a few hours and then.....kkkkkkkk.

I have the UK tab version with firmware JK5; Also cannot figure it out why it does not show 'overcome v1.2.3 on the build number...it still shows v1.2.1, kernel overcome 97.

I'll have to reflash the lot now.......how annoying.
[Galaxy Tab General] Digiguest:
I am sorry that you are having problems. However hijacking threads is frowned upon here.....

Welcome to the XDA Forums otherwise.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
The app is free.

How many roms have you flashed? Maybe it's time to do a factory reset, then flash the full version of the rom/kernal.
[Galaxy Tab General] Digiguest:
Well it did the trick and put me in the correct spot but the compass is still completely wonky.

Oh and this is the first ROM I have flashed. Overcome 1.2.1.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
There are apps in the market for that. You want to calibrate the compass, so look for a gps utility. Sorry I don't have one to recommend to you.
[Galaxy Tab General] Digiguest:
Not a problem. I appreciate your advice and welcome any others as well.
[Galaxy Tab General] njackson:
One thought about the compass - do you have your tab in a case with a magnetic clip?

Mine works fine out of the leather case, but not when it is in the case.

Just a thought.
[Galaxy Tab General] Digiguest:
No I don't.

To test the GPS to see if there was any interference I put my iPhone 4 into compass mode in maps and did the same with the Tab using the Maps program.

The iPhone 4 was spot on....however the Tab was wrong yet again.

So that means there is no interference.

I am stumped here....and the recalibrate apps did not work either.
[Galaxy Tab General] njackson:
Just thought I would try a catch-up.

Since my last comment I moved from Rotos JMIv2 to Overcome 1.2.3 and my GPS also stopped. After 24 hours however, I have got it going through a the use of GPS Status (free from the market) and the LbsTestMode which you can access either through a dialler code or through SGS Toolbox, also free from the market.

To cut the story short, I went from just finding about 3 satelites (with no connectoins), to finding and connecting 10 satelites.

I must say that I am very happy with the current ROM and with the GPS Status program.

Hope this helps if you are still having problems.
[Galaxy Tab General] dogofwar:
I believe that if you dont have wifi or 3g on the tab GPS will not work..
[Galaxy Tab General] njackson:
Yes - I've always had the wifi going, but found that unless I had a phone (modem flash) and inserted a sim card, I could never get GPS to do anything.

If you don't feel comfortable using it, I would recommend just flashing the pnp extras after you poke around the zip files and decide what's most important. But don't forget to put them on the phone as .zip files

Looks like I won't need to worry about it after I flash to EB16.

[Android Software Development] notverycreative:
Hi! I have two database files I need to make and add to the .apk for quick access. The data will be completely static--I will only read from the database. How would I make this database on my PC, then read from it at runtime?
[Android Software Development] PsHegger:
The SQLite database on Android will be created when you first want to access it. This means you can't simply add the databases to the apk. You should make a web service which helps your app insert the data to the newly created database, or you can hard-code it.
[Android Software Development] notverycreative:
After a little more searching, I found a way! http://www.reigndesign.com/blog/using-your-own-sqlite-database-in-android-applications/

I'll give it a shot later today; it seems like it'll work.

I just bought mine from someone on craigslist...

Is there a way to tell if it has been unlocked
[Xoom General] droidftw:
well heres what happened

i had unlocked and rooted the xoom then attempted to relock it.

relocking failed and bricked the device.

after about 3 hours of trying to figure out how to fix it going through numerous tries of rsd lite and unlocking and relocking i somehow got it to work so i dont know if it unlocked or locked.

i do not have superuser icon in my app drawer though

[Windows Phone 7 General] pedalpete:
I bought a Samsung Focus the other day from AT&T.

I have a 'go phone' SIM for when I'm in the US, I live in Canada and am with Telus.

I ordered an unlock code from nckzone, and it worked to allow my new focus to work with my Telus SIM.

But when i insert my AT&T SIM, it shows Emergency Only.

the phone (as far as I can tell) is unlocked.

When I go into the diagnostics and check the network lock, it says 'disabled'.

Any suggestions on how to get this working with the AT&T 'go phone' SIM?

[Droid Incredible General] The Black Droid:
A simple way to put this:

Heavy use - 1 Full Day

Medium use - 1 1/2 Days

Light use - 2 Full Days

Stand by/very light use - 3 Full Days(easy)

________________________________________________________________

A few other factors that contribute to my battery life are custom ROMs and custom Kernels. I, personally, run SkyRaider 3.5 with Lou's # 8 kernel. Results may vary.

Don't be afraid to test out these different kernels that are out there, you never know which one will match your phone perfectly till you try them all. I reflashed Lou's #8 in the end after going through 11 different kernels :)

Verdict: 2150 mAh HTC battery = Good to Go
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
Glad to see it lived up to expectations :rolleyes:
[Droid Incredible General] crs7:
Have the 2150 also. Getting about same results with reengineered/senseless and heyitslou #8. Just wish they had so cover options
[Droid Incredible General] The Black Droid:
This is the one I got, and It works great

http://shop.htcpedia.com/extended-battery-fit-soft-rubber-cases.html
[Droid Incredible General] shoman24v:
So, apparently you didn't use your phone much.

The OP pretty much nails what you can expect with the 2150.
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
I would say that looks like light-medium use, still though I was never able to get that on stock. My battery almost always died out before 6pm (starting from a 7am day) and that was just terrible.

That link seems broken for me, but I think you are referring to this:

http://shop.htcpedia.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=1104&compability_product=757
[Droid Incredible General] cleveratticus:
Not to be a spoilsport or anything, but I own the 2150 mAh battery and I have NEVER used the stock battery. I have noticed that it takes less than one day medium use for it to die. Is this because of my rom choice? Because it did this LONG before I ever rooted it. I admit, the first two months, these speculations of battery life are spot on. But after that, it seemed to just die faster and faster.

I don't know. Maybe it is just me.
[Droid Incredible General] The Black Droid:
Like I said, different ROM/kernel combination's will put out different results. Try a new setup and see if your results change. If not, call Verizon and have them send you a new extended battery because yours isn't performing
[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:
Not bad, I was able to get this with the stock 1300mah, CM7, and incredikernel.
[Droid Incredible General] I Am Marino:
Impressive sir.
[Droid Incredible General] gruss01:
My 2150 hasn't been holding a charge all that well to be honest. The seidio 3500 still works great. I like the 2150 best as the size is perfect and had just the right capacity when new but I'm a little bummed at how its been lately. I've had mine pretty much since I got the phone right after it launched. The seidio I used in my Eris too, so its been around the block a couple more times

Good job man, really nice improvements.

Just one little suggestions, i wish i could see the group label (top or bottom) on the drawer, insted of it fadind on bottom, that way u allway know what group of apps you are on.

Other than that really digging it. One more thing, i feel noobish asking this but i cant find it, how do you get to adw settings??

N1
[Android Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
I agree, but it wasn't going to be easy so I avoided it. Considering there was no indication before, I figured this was a good first step.

Check out v0.0.2. I've made sure its in the ADW menu as it seems to vanish from the System Settings when you install this update.

Thanks for your feedback!

Got v 0.0.2, adw setting back to normal, works good. Keep tweaking this, good job, will definitely stay on it.

[Android Apps and Games] Taylortron3030:
true story
[Android Apps and Games] zonly1:
I really like this! One suggestion (unless I just don't know how to do it) would be to allow the ability to swype between groups.
[Android Apps and Games] jacksonj51:
Nice work... Big fan of ADW and these mods.

Suggestion: I'm a proponent of the stupid search button --> useless! Besides its easy to map it to other soft key buttons if one needs it... I say replace it with the manage applications button similar to how it is in the stock launcher or put it under the more button.
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
I'm running EX unfortunately...

It's almost the perfect launcher except for the terrible groups structure. It's just wrong all the way.

I think custom menus, that you can navigate through swyping left to right, is the way to go...
[Android Apps and Games] eruji:
I would also like a swipe-able app drawer to cycle through the groups.
[Android Apps and Games] Facegarden:
Hey!

This looks pretty cool. I really like that you moved "lock desktop" as I never use it, but I accidentally hit it sometimes.

I actually had some issues with the locked desktop with ADW recently, and I was wondering if this would be a good place to mention my problem.

As it is, if the desktop is locked and you don't realize it (since I had hit it accidentally), its very confusing when you try to adjust something! The screen vibrates to acknowledge a long press, but nothing else happens. It would be great if you had a short TOAST popup ( http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Toast.html ) that said "Desktop Locked" when the user tries to move something and the desktop is locked.

Its a simple feature but it really had me confused for a while! Since I was on a nightly build I just assumed something was broken, which led me astray from the real solution!

I think a little toast popup for that would rock!

Is it normal to lost my ADW settings selection for the settings menu? Other than that, I am digging this!

looking forward to try new releases and upgrades

ps: still running it and no FC so far :)
[Android Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and comments.

Great idea! The different drawer styles would need different swiping directions. Swiping left/right on the vertical plain and up/down on the horizontal paginated.

Not really doing those kinds of bug fixes at this point. But I agree it's annoying and ran into it myself.

Having the search under the menu is redundant for most as they have a button on the phone for it. It should be pushed to the "More" and then replaced with the manage apps menu option.

Thanks, will get that fixed.

Again,

Thanks for your input!
[Android Apps and Games] i8qbert:

[Android Apps and Games] beetnubbin:
request/suggestion

I love the tweaks you're made. They really add to the useability of the launcher. Please take no offence at my suggestions, this kind of work tends to get you you thinking about the perfect launcher. Other improvements that occurred to me as a result of your hard work were:

1) I would like to see the horizontal and vertical draw scrolling integrated. Left and right scrolls though categories. up and down scrolls within those categories. Perhaps with simple tabs at the top like go launcher we could accommodate horizontal app draw within categories by sliding/pessing/swiping on category tabs.

2)A hidden app catalogue for apps that you rarely if ever use. This would be accessible but not normally visible.

having rushed to write my ideas down I now realise that it's probably beyond the scope of the original project. At lease they're out in the ether now and my compliment to your work stands.
[Android Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
OP updated. Wanted to get those pesky force closes fixed. Hopefully 0.0.5 will have the swipe to change groups option along with a menu item to manage applications.

I would like to know if we could get your source code ?
[Android Apps and Games] EmptyArea:
Thanks . The thread title needs updating.

Edit:

Would it be possible to have the option to turn the app groups off? I don't like the title, and the draw slightly resizes just after opening it.

Swyped on transparent XDA app.
[Android Apps and Games] mad-murdock:
thumbs up! contains some pretty nice ideas!

still unsure how to merge it to cm source tree, since until now packages/apps/ADWLauncher contains only a source dump of the latest release (with minor tweaks to allow installation of market updates)

but i am sure, we find a solution in the end.
[Android Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
I'll get it uploaded at some point. I want to wait until I get it somewhat solid and to a point where there isn't much to add in relation to groups.

I want to put all the features in an get comments before adding any customizations. I will fix the resizing since that is a bug.

True, but isn't the entire ROM a source dump of the latest release of Android ;) I hope that's not the reason they won't want to make changes to ADW.
[Android Apps and Games] EmptyArea:
Thanks for your response. I would consider the option to turn of groups an extra function, but hey this is your baby! Recon I'll care less when it doesn't resume resize cause it makes me notice it.

Perhaps the group name could fade away, and just reshow when swyping between groups?

Just sounding out ideas,.

I'm sticking with this because I like your approach of focusing on design for usability.

Edit:

Also is possible to get a truly transparent app draw, it disappoints me that my widgets disappear.

Edit :

Just noticed that my other transparent things work in the same way so prob not possible.

Looking good but could you please Rename Ungrouped to Apps?
[Android Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
"Apps" doesn't properly explain why there are apps in that group. Thats why I called it ungrouped.
[Android Apps and Games] AshtonBRSC:
Great to see work being done on the original ADW Launcher rather than closed source improvement to the EX version.

Looking forward to having access to your sourcecode to see if I can help anywhere.
[Android Apps and Games] ilhe1s:
My reason behind this is cause I can't delete the Ungrouped Group even if it is empty. Also Once I have Apps, Games and so on grouped if I swipe into Ungrouped it won't let me swipe to the other groups unless I get out and choose another group. I'm fine with leaving Ungrouped but how about making it not be able to swipe to it. Like accessed via the menu.

Maybe this was your purpose, but that's my 3 cents.
[Android Apps and Games] TheMasterBaron:
Ahh, now we are getting somewhere :)

It's a know issue since v.0.0.1 that the UNGROUPED group still shows when it's empty. I plan to address that, but wanted to focus on new features and functionally first.

Not being able to swipe to other groups when it's empty is a bug when using the vertical scrolling drawer. Thanks for reporting it and I'll get it fixed since I can see how that would be annoying. I suggest you leave one thing in there until I get it fixed.
