[SKN] W&VGA [6.5.x] Titanium - ZuneHD 03/05 VGA 1.4.2 __ < 5 differents skins>
Hello all
I need to know what is the easyest programming tool to keep on my new theme, especially to learn for the imminent arrival of WinCE7, i'd already install Visual Studio 2008 but it seems to be difficult for a beginner. Thanks
I am currently creating a skin for Titanium (CHome), so I present to you the beginning of my work and I advice for improvement. I move:
music
' ALBUMS - ARTISTS - MORCEAUX
Actualy on 1 page, it is just a skin inspired by Zune software, the right key goto wmplayer.exe.
videos
' ALL
Actualy on 1 page, it is just a skin, the right key goto wmplayer.exe.
I will try to skin this plugin as default music plugin
pictures
' BY FOLDER - BY DATE
Actualy on 1 page, it is just a skin, the right key goto pimg.exe.
radio
' default plugin
So it's the default plugin base on default CClock plugin, you can see your phone operator & date & time.
The right key, after installation, will lauch the FMRadio.exe (* see specifications)
NEW IN V1.4___The attached cabinet file for radio plugin include French & WWE mui file
marketplace
' WMMarketplace - OpnMarket
Page 1, you can start WMMarketPlace.exe by pressing SK2
Page 2, after installation,SK2 launch OpnMarket, a windows mobile essential freeware (* see specifications).
social
' RESEAUX - MESSAGES
Page 1, you can launch Windows Live
Page 2, you can access to your messages box
settings
' INFOS - ALL
Actually this page show my theme information and after installation of the plugin skinned for HTC Action Screen, you will access to differents control panel settings (* see specifications)
Default page, give device infos ;then install zuneHD_settings; then install zuneHD_xdaShutdown. To close, just push the title shutdown
titanium
* Right <-> Left scrolls the pages of a plugin (Default Behavior)
* Top <-> Low scrolls plugins (Default Behavior)
* Windows key: launches the start menu (Default Behavior)
* Left Key "SK1" noted "zune" will lauch CHomeRefresh to restore Titanium as default so "radio" plugin (selected for visual balance)
* Right Key "SK2" launching various programs associated with each page plugins
* Red Key "hung up the phone" return to the default "radio" plugin
* Currently, the central zone (480x95 pixels in my case) of each page is used as "ACTIONURL" so you can launch a program by pressing (Default Behavior); I use "SK2" to launch programs too
specifications
* The radio plugin, settings plugin and social plugin works identically:
after installation of the plugin, then by pressing "zune" key (which launch CHomeRefresh.exe ) you can launch the applications skinned .
theme
Started Menu on 4 columns bore x 7 landscape _ animated.gif _ StartMenu Selection _ welcomehead.192.png _ NO SKIN FOR LANDSCAPE MODE

I assumed that the titanium was like Zune menu, so by adding pictures and changing some stuff I got this result. In fact i have no knowledge of builds, I tried to change thing by thing and it worked
Regarding your installation, i think your ppc processor is not listed on the cabinet file, which is it ?

It is an honor to have your presence on my topic, your skin are always beautiful. It is clear that I am not a designer, I occasionally changed pixel by pixel to have a better yield.
Indeed, if you have the time or envy to please you, the icon & pictures are all stored in the "skin" folder, if you want suggest as a skin or update let me know.
Actually, i'm integrating phone notifications into "social" plugin, i'ts advance slowly

* social is actually just a skin, but you can access to your messages box or Windows Live
* marketplace about two pages, let you access at two different market
* settings is actually a skin and let you got to Devise Info, then after installing ZuneHD_Settings, you can access at some system settings, then after installing ZuneHD_Shutdown, you can access to system power option
* After each installation, refresh Titanium by pressing "zune" key, then the right softkey will change and give new access ; ditto for OpnMarket

You can use 1.2, thats designed for that goals
Hi Fireslave, that looks awesome. It is good that you can decide what Tiles you want to include.
Hi Fireslave,
I'd love to help you test this newest development version. I have a HTC HD2 and, as you know from your past themes, some experience in modifying the xml code.
PM me if you'd like me to help
Casey
I also would like to help out with this. I have some experience with xml and I also beta tested version 1.5 on my diamond500. would be happy to do the same for version 2.0
Looking good!
Looking good Fireslave! I like the ability to move tiles based on preference! Just one little request, how about a lock tile at the main screen? That way we can lock manually when needed, without having to go back to another screen?
looks amazing!!! i'll give it a try for sure.. i wonder how it'll go on my jade..

Looking forward to this version.! Thanks a lot for all your efforts to give us a nice preview of whats to come in a real wp7 version. Again a broken record anything I could do to help i'd be glad to.! I'm not a n00b lol.. just dont hang on xda as much a ppc
Any advice to where to put the green icon, this icon is to add or remove the Tiles.
looking awesome! I will be watching this thread

I would like it where you have the left arrow. In WP7 it takes you to what you have, but that is where you can add the tiles to the home screen. The start menu would then be located at the dock like you have it now. Or right below the left arrow as an invisable image. I could also test for you as well.
very nicely done, looking forward to seeing the code
Lock option
Fireslave,
Right now, I have a shortcut to the locking option of my Imagio (standard lock screen). So, if I am at the main screen and I want to manually lock it (I don't use the 'lock after xx minutes' option), I have to slide over to the shortcuts, and activate it then.
Since I am in the main screen most of the time, a lock icon, or a hidden lock location would be great. And we can choose which lock system we use (S2U2, Fingerprint Lock, etc.)
And I am always up to helping with testing. I am running and HTC Imagio with Verizon, WM6.5 with Manilla 2.5.2012 and WVGA screen. I am using TL 1.1.10 exculsively.
If there is anything I can help with, don't hesitate to ask!
how much longer before a release

looking forward on this new version....thanks

Hi I have an Imagio too, really good device anyway I'll send you the fist beta, but please I need a complete report about it and screenshots if you have problems, and of course don't share it.
TODAY I'LL RELEASE THE BETA 1 FOR PRIVATE BETATESTERS
UPDATE
For personal and financial reasons I'll temporarily discontinue uploading new releases of the 7Launcher project.
The launcher is not dead!! It will either be incorporated in the WP7Android Project or it will go payed/donate on the market in the near future.
I'am working on new features and and improved overall stability/quality. Already implemented Live folders & tiles, improved stability and drag&drop mechanism. When it will be re-released will have social network tiles, contact tiles&live folders and more live tiles.
A big THANK YOU to all that took an interest and tested this project and my apologies to those who still love the 7Launcher.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi guys.
Not so long ago I've tested some WP7 Roms and I must say... I was quite impressed with the new windows mobile looks and feel. Simple, elegant and yet functional (didn't expect that from Microsoft ). Of course it will still be a while for the first daily usable WP7 Roms (battery life is crap) and quite frankly the only thing i'am not happy with in current Android builds is the e-mail client. On that side, WP7 is even worse... I'mean fewer options that in the stock android client.
Anyway, like I've said before was quite impressed with the WP7 looks. I've searched a little and found some beta apps on the market that bring the WP7 launcher on the Android phones, but none of them worked quite right for me. So, I've decided to cook my own...
The app doesn't have to much features but I've built it for my own needs and taste.
Features (for long click on apps list or tiles):
- Pin/Unpin tiles
- Uninstall apps
- Exchange tiles position (just chose Move tile and then Move here)
Options:
- Change wallpaper (the launcher background is black, but it's useful for the lock screen wallpaper)
- Use built in icons for some apps or use default app icon on the tiles
- Change the tile color
- Reset tile color to default
- Chose between opaque and transparent background (uncheck this if you want to see the wallpaper)
The app seems stable enough for daily usage. Only tested it on my own HD2 and ADV emulator.
Landscape mode might not look so good on your display.
To replace the original launcher just clear the launcher cache and defaults then press home button and select this app.
Please let me know what you think.
Starting today the releases will have build numbers (ex. 01,02....)
21.03.2011 (beta 07-1) - quick notifications fix
21.03.2011 (beta 07) -Available now
* Added Drag & Drop support for re-arranging the tiles. Long Click on a tile, release and move around... Drop it over another tile to switch places, drag it outside the left screen border to remove it. Needs serious testing
* Added weather tiles background support. It's not as complicated as it might seem... just puts a picture under the weather info depending on the current conditions. I love the way the SlideShow tile looks like and made an improvement to the weather as well.
* other fixes
15.03.2011 (beta 06-1)
* Added SlideShow tile. Well, it may not be a slideshow but it randomly changes pictures from a given root. If u click on the right-top corner of the tile you get the picture preview.
* minor fixes to weather and launcher app
!! Important: I recommend clearing the launcher data before starting the new version. Until i find a way of modifying the db without a wipe. Please give feedback about stability
14.03.2011 (beta 06-0)
* Modifications to apps core
* Added the possibility to have multiple weather tiles with different locations (same update interval)
* Added StickyNotes - post-it like app & tile. Just add the tile on the tiles screen and click on it to change text
* You can use multiple post-its by adding a new instance of the app to the tile list. Each note's tile can have a different text which can only be modified by clicking the tile itself.
* Added 3d/shadow effect for tiles (not visible on default black background - see new Screenshoot)
* minor fixes to weather and launcher app
!! Important: I recommend clearing the launcher data before starting the new version. The new version uses a different method to keep track of tiles.
10.03.2011 (beta 05-2)
* Fixed weather tile and app (again ) Now it should update even in standby. The previous release didn't update data if the app/service was paused...
08.03.2011 (beta 05-1)
* Fixed weather tile and app
* Added night weather icons !! Be aware: because Google API doesn't provide Sunrise/Sunset info, the night mode is set between 11PM - 5 AM
* Made some modifications to tile notifications
07.03.2011 (beta release 05)
* Rewritten UI redraw procedures to support double tiles
* The landscape mode has 4 columns instead of 3
* Option to disable auto-rotation
* Added live weather tile - to use the tile install the Weather app, add it to tile screen and activate the service form the menu. The life tile config and forecasts are done in the Weather app. If u don't install the Weather app you'll get stuck with my home city forecast and 1h update interval!!
* Other minor fixes
!! Please report any UI bugs attaching a screenshot of the problem. Some users may experience text display problems. I'am having a hard time to adjust the font size because the default varies from build to build.
25.02.2011 (beta release 04)
* Added the option to change tile text color
* Added tile notifications for missed calls, messages, email (should work for stock mail) - disabled by default, you can enable it in
the More menu. Needs testing!!
* Other minor fixes
24.02.2011 (beta release 03)
* Added some eye candy animation to tile redraw (tell me if you like it)
* Some minor fixes
23.02.2011 (beta release 02)
* Added the possibility to theme the tile icons. How does this work? Well, it may not seem like much but i like to keep things simple. The app adds a WPL folder on your SD card. Inside you'll find a folder named Themes.
To make your own theme, just create a sub folder in the <Themes> directory and name it as you wish. This will be your theme folder. Now add icons to the folder.
Important Notes!!!
- The icons must be named like this: tile_<app name>, where <app name> is the application you want to use a custom tile icon for.
- The icons are 175x175 transparent PNG files (didn't test for other sizes... might work, might not)
- The <app name> is case sensitive. Ex if you want to replace the tile icon for calculator then <app name> = Calculator => /sdcard/WPL/Themes/<Your theme>/tile_Calculator.png
18.02.2011 (beta release 01)
* Implemented the auto-rotation. Now the app auto rotates on a custom procedure. Might not work well for everyone (awaiting feedback)
* Modified the transparent background method. Now you have the system wallpaper, even if it's a live wallpaper!
* Added new color picker (full spectrum). A big thank you to Yougly for posting his code (http://www.yougli.net/android/a-photoshop-like-color-picker-for-your-android-application/)
* Added the possibility to change apps list text color
* Lowered the Min SDK req to 8 (let me know if it works). Warning: some features might not be available in older SKD's.
* Some other fixes..
PS: Be aware!!! It's my first Android app... I'am not responsible for any damage or problems you may incounter.
looking good, downloading...

Like i said in the initial post mate... there are two apps on the market that i know of, but didn't liked them.
This is my own implementation.
I'm looking forward to what this project will become! If you manage to capture look, feel & smoothness of WP7 home screen on Android, then you're app will be brilliant. And with extra options (and high quality) it can even be oponent to LauncherPro or ADW.Launcher!
very cool ! haha ...
Thank you so much!
doesn't install for me
works like a charm, also the behaviour is almost same as WP7. really like it, and I'm looking forward for next releases

Hello!
I took your launcher for a test drive and was impressed. I have written a very detailed review at my blog that you might want to read. It also includes a wish list of improvements that'd make it even better and more usable in my opinion. Here is the review: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-windows-phone-7-launcher-on-android/
Oh and one thing that I didn't mention in my review (to avoid getting you negative publicity) but would like to bring to your attention: I experienced a few Force-Closes when changing the screen orientation by tilting the device while I was messing around with the options. Can't manage to reproduce it intentionally but it happened more than just once. Other than that, it runs pretty slick on my Nexus S. Kudos to you!

WOW!!
Thank you for the great review (didn't expect that ).
I'll look into all the things mentioned in the review (as long as the time will allow me ).
The double tile option is indeed hard to implement as the tile management is done within a GridView.
The live tiles and notification would be possible but it would take on more memory. Personally i don't find any other use for them beside looks. I've left the android stock notification bar default on purpose. I love its functionality, and didn't see any point of reimplementing a notification system as long as the stock one works just fine But as mentioned above, i'll look into all the requests.
This project doesn't aim to be a WP7 clone. My goal is to implement the best of both systems, meaning the WP7 looks with the Android great functionality.
Thank you again!
PS: The FC on auto-rotation happens with shake like movements due to save/restore procedures. I hope this will be fixed soon.

Buen trabajo.
Genial
mate, your application is simply wicked. working well on my unit and haven't had a crash or a freeze. a friend of mine has a mozart and i must say your interface is a good contender. HQRaja's review is spot on and i'm looking forward to the next release.
Nice, but I had to uninstall it. As you said the battery drain is very high. I'll come back to it as soon as you fix that. Thanks

I am proud to present to you BeanStalk Builds put together by my good friend scott.hart.bti from the Samsung Infuse 4G. This is a build composed off of the CM10.1 builds that he has added alot of features on top of it. So you get speed, stability, and ultra customization ability. Many of the additional code additions came from slim ROM and also Derteufels build and have been modified to work with my current setup. A huge thanks to Derteufel and the Slim ROM guys for their work and dedication. Also a big thanks to everyone involved with CM as that is the building stone in this project. Thanks to skyliner33v for the bootanimation and upcoming wallpapers!
I plan on updating this and adding features on a pretty regular basis, so if you happen to like this, keep checking back.

Numerous other options hidding throughout the build
Trouble Alerts/Workarounds:
Status bar/Notification Drawer - There seems to be a bug with the 4.2.2 status bar/notification drawer freezing. It is happening on numerous phones at random and there is not a fix available yet. Workaround - Numerous ways to workaround this issue, but easiest in my opinion is to go to settings - system settings - PIE - Enable/Disable PIE. This restarts systemUI and unfreezes the status bar.
PIE - PIE seems to be functioning good for the most part, but there is one bug i have noticed. When you first bring the phone out of sleep and unlock it and try to use PIE without doing anything else, it does not show the PIE image until you change a screen. So basically you have to do something first and then it will work fine. Workaround - Settings - Lockscreen - custom lockscreen background - Select any options... it can be Color, transparent, or custom image. As soon as you select one of those options, PIE works perfectly.

***Please keep in mind that this is the initial release and bugs are to be expected. Scott is working on this mostly himself and does not have a team that is helping him. Before reporting bugs, please make sure you verify everything on your end and make sure you do a full wipe and format first to make sure it is a legitimate issue. Im going to say this once and only once... He is doing this for fun and I am building it for this device for fun. It is our CHOICE to share the work with everyone. If you decide that you do not like it, good for you.. Move on and flash something else. I will not tolerate ungrateful people in my thread.***

Notice***This is the very first build for the I9300 so I'm in need of some testers to let me know what works and what doesn't!

Thanks everyone and I hope you enjoy!

So you're interested in Building/Porting for another device?! Follow this guide! **Please make sure to give proper credits and use the layout I have in the first post.** - If you need assistance, please send me a PM, do NOT post questions in this thread. Scott may open a general porting/building thread in another section depending on how this goes. You must have some general experience/knowledge in this area to complete this. Building from Linux platforms; In particular Ubuntu 10.04(I personally use Linux Mint 14)
Setup to build - This section can be skipped if you've ever built anything before. This is for first time build setup.
1. From your root terminal location, type the following: sudo apt-get install curl git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline5-dev gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib
2. Type: mkdir ~/bin
3. Type: PATH=~/bin:$PATH
4. Type: curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
5. Type: chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
From terminal
1. type 'cd'. This will bring you to your root folder.
2. type 'mkdir beanstalk'. This will create a folder named beanstalk.
3. type 'cd beanstalk'. This will take you to the beanstalk directory created from previous step
4. type 'repo init -u git://github.com/scotthartbti/android.git -b cm-10.1'. This will setup the folders to be synced.
5. type 'repo sync'. This will sync the folders to your beanstalk directory. Note - This will take some time depending on internet connection. Be patient!
6. After the repo sync finally finishes, all you need to do is add your device, kernel, vendor specific files for the device you are building for. (You must know what these are, dont bother asking me if your not sure.)
7. Make sure all your device specific files are setup as if you were going to build for CM.
8. Outside of terminal, navigate to beanstalk/vendor/cm. Double click on the get-prebuilts file and select run in terminal. This will fetch necessary files needed to build and place them where they need to be.
9. Type '. build/envsetup.sh'
10. Type lunch
11. Enter your device name(should be listed if it's supported by cm) Ex. cm-i9300-userdebug
12. Type ' make -j4 bacon
13. Previous step will start building beanstalk for your device. The process takes anywhere from 1 - 3 hours depending on your computer.
14. Once completed, it will say package complete and you will have a beanstalk named zip file in your out folder.
This is a nice work

Hi team
I do not know how it did, but this rom is fast as lightning.
Additionally, it contains all the options AOSP, with Helly bean-build.prop tweaks, dark theme from Slim etc.
Love the scroller option
For a long time I wanted all these functions together in a single ROM.
Will report some more , just made a flash and some setups :laugh:
Edit:
Some screenshot ( sorry for those Biiig ( Tapatalk , post Edited )

But I wish it was Multi User too !
Edit : Long Press on Power in Navigation Bar doesn't open Power Options, I've to long press Power Hardware Button

Going to give this a spin. What gapps are being used on this rom? No mention in OP so im assuming the regular 4.2.2 gapps. Curious to also know if the real dark slim gapps would work? Hell i'll just test them. Lol! Good work Bro! Cheers!

Yes any 4.2.2 gapps will do. I'll get some uploaded soon. I'd avoid the Dark slim gapps..they have the framework mods applied to them, when TRDS is included in the ROM that already does just that. So you'd be turning on TRDS when it's already enabled on your gapps..things might get screwy, but up to you if you decide to flash those.
Re: [ROM][I9300][4.2.2]BeanStalk Build 1 03/17/2013
Amazing ROM!!! :thumbup:
Many thanks for the rom.. Like it so far..
Using temasek kernel.. At first, just want to try it out of curiosity but turns out it is wayyy amazing..
Significantly less lag in many apps.. Even i underclocked my cpu down to 1ghz with undervolt.
Tweaks options is really amazing..
EDIT: 1 request. Can expanded destop mode hidebthe status bar in lockscreen as well? Please...
