[Theme UPDATE] RA's Umbrella Corporation Employee Phone-RC33 JF1.41 and 1.42 tested

Hi Everyone,
This theme was originally posted by RandumAccess, knowing that he is in a new job and spending time with Family, I decided to take it upon myself (with RA's approval) I updated the theme for use with RC33.
I made a few modifications to the them, namely the clock, the dial pad buttons and a few of the Icon's.
I also copied all of the original wallpaper files on the phone with the Basic Grey wallpaper to keep the size of the file down and added the original wallpapers designs into the theme so that the wallpaper gallery works as well as the functional wallpapers.
If you have any issues with this theme, please let me know and I will correct any problems that arise as quickly as possible.
The theme can be downloaded from the following site:

No fingerprint scanner version:

Great job, Shadizar!
Keep up the great work, it is appreciated.

Is there any way you could change it to where it doesn't have the thumb scanner?
It will make it look a little cleaner. Plus why do you need a thumb scanner to aceess your apps and everything. You already 'logged' onto the phone during the boot process.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love this theme. It's been my main one, however I got tired of the thumb scanner.

Yeah, I will work on that tomorrow when I get in to work and get it uploaded during the day tomorrow. It's just a matter of changing a couple files which should take about 15 minutes

You did a great job on this!
Sorry it took so long to say that! I have been busy... which is why i have been posting "Simple" themes for now
thanks again for taking over my theme while I wasnt able to deal with high demand for updates at the time... Looks Great!

just wanted to say how much i love your theme and appreciate your work. cant wait for more updates to come. and a suggestion.....could u change the menu icons to something more colorful and not just the umbrella logo on the icon....thanx...
EDIT: What My Screens Look Like Thanx To You...
AND...the dialer buttons are really choppy...

I'll have to get on downloading this theme tonight.

It wouldn't load for me, even after doing a wipe. It hangs at the G1 screen and just stays there made me a sad panda!

i love this theme, but i would love a STARS or even a BSAA theme even more

Make sure you have RC33. This is designed for RC33, the developer took lots of time to do it.
Also, where is the original wallpaper in the wallpaper gallery. I switched it to a different one, now can't switch it back. I love the original that comes with the phone and it doesn't appear to be on there. Any way you can put it up?

perfect theme with icons but it has just a little too much red, maybe if it could change it could be better, more of a neutral color maybe white or black

Here I am, /r/ing a port to SuperD or an Eclair ROM.

Read the article.
What do you think about it? Is this is a really revolution?

I think this phone looks very nice with a stunning UI. The technical specs are nothing special, but this could be quite a hit i think.

thats a savage ass phone, you kno what would be sick tho if you could change the color of all the LED's on it two from blue to like purple or something. It's linux it should be fully customizable like that

I love the look of this phone. Very appealing. I will be interested in seeing more about it.

This would be the perfect MP3 Player. But for a smartphone, I do not know if it will offer the extreme flexibility of any of the four TRUE smart phones: Symbian S60, Windows Mobile, Android.
Does this phone have a file system, etc? Also, does Palm Pre and Palm Pixi have a file system and file manager too?
But I've seen this phone before, and I was excited, and still am.
I just don't expect it to be smart-centric. I expect it to be more like a Zune HD experience with some "quasi-smart" features like on the iPhone.
Original Poster, I think you should compile links on the first post and make this the official ELSE anticipation and discussion thread.
More Links http://else.bz/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amk7XzgMcTs&feature=related
But there are a few things I would like to know more about this phone.
*Judging by the Flash Videos, the keyboard on the phone sucks (but there are some pretty cool features). But the reason why it sucks is mainly due to the layout and size of the keys both in portrait and qwerty.
*I haven't seen any file manager. Will it be on this phone, and how complex is it?
*Speaker quality?

He was talking about the buttons being on the right side of the phone. Easier for us left-handers to use. I don't think you can change hardware location in settings

Use it upside down maybe!! too bad for you!! Does look interesting, but not entirely better than tab bars and such.. it does have that added sliding left feature and I guess it being capacative would not require much tension from the thumb. I am always up for new technology to push the limits.

Wow, maybe the device will not only have rotate orientation buy also flip orientation. That would be awesome!

It's all going to come down to how they market this phone. It looks great and definitely has appeal to those of us with a technical background and who love customization. But what carrier will they market it to? Can it be customized to settings that people find interesting such as led colors, programs, etc? and the biggest one: WHO will they allow to carry the operating system. Getting google to back this would be great, getting Nokia to make a phone able to support this would be great, but which one will have the advertising budget to challenge Apple and the like to the duel that will occur when this and the next generation of iphones is released? A small company like Access is going to have a really hard time trying to compete with Motorola, Nokia, Google, Samsung and Apple especially.

I'm sorry for reviving a dead thread, but does anybody know the name of this phone and the maker? I think the phone failed to launch and the maker went out of business and that's making it hard for me to find any information on this. A name should help, thanks.

The Linux based smartphone have actually been out for awhile. I think (Don't hold me to word on this) there is one called tuxphone. But I'm not sure if that's Linux based when I think back on it...

The most thing about Android that is Linux based is it's kernel but a lot of it is actually Java, especially the apps.

Need a hack or app to quickly select and copy text on browser

Hello,
After much reading and thinking and debating between the HD2 and the Nexus One I finally placed an order for a Nexus One AT&T and can't wait for it to arrive.
I do however have a question about the browser. From what I know (correct me if I am wrong) to select text on the Nexus browser you need to first press the Menu button, then select More, then select Select Text, and then highlight the text to be copied. Too many steps in my opinion. I wish there was some way, a hack, a tweak, or maybe an app that will let you just do a long press on the screen that will automatically take you to "select text" mode?
Thanks.

I'm also interested in this. Coming from the iphone, it's a kind of a pain just to copy text since you have to go through all those steps and then use the trackball for an accurate selection. And when recieving an address in a text message you have to copy the entire message, paste it in maps, and then delete everything else that isn't part of the address. For example when I get a text like "Ok, my address is 123 N street 90000. Be here by 3." I have to delete everything before and after the address after copying/pasting the entire thing. It would be nice to just copy the address.

I will vote for a mechanism to do this as well. Please

me 3
10 charecters!

Just longpress on text and two markers will appear in the form of green dots with pointers. Move the first one to the beginning of the text you wish to copy, and the other to the end. All text in between will become highlighted green and three options will appear...copy, share, and magnify. No need for hack or app imo.
Edit: depending on which ROM ur running.

Moved as not Android Development.

a19 Desire rom.

the holding the text only works in the desire roms because its part of rosie. what we need is a dev that understands the framework to port it over to the stock 2.1
This is one of the only reasons I miss the Sense rom but I'm waiting my full 14 days so if anything happens to my phone. Even though the last one had no problems

Didn't Android implement copy and paste before the iPhone? Apple took a good idea and improved it surely Android can look at something that's better and adapt the concept without being sued. I would use copy and paste a lot more if it were at all practical. I don't want an iPhone but when a competitor does something well the only shame is in NOT learning from it.

Dolphin browser, you can long press on text, then go to the page option select text, you can either use your finger or trackball to select it, if you need to be precise, go into landscape mode. Not perfect, but it works.

I think I like that. But is it the method from a Rom as described above, or can my phone do that?

Paul,
Is there anyway I can have that feature ported to my Nexus ? That is exactly what I am looking for.
Thanks

Id really rather not root my phone. do you think there's any chance that method could be in an update if it turns out Android is in fact still in the mobile software business? I really need to copy and paste but I don't know how the current method was ever considered usable...thanks

I doubt it, and waiting for any features in an update, you could be waiting any length of time.

Oh, from all your iPhone is better posts, I thought you did. /shrug
Anyway, many many many people have posted here that HTC has serviced their phones even when unlocked and rooted, so I wouldn't worry about that.

def can't complain about android features if you are un-willing to root your phone.....rootings part of the game, such as jailbreaking.....

[Game] Touch Drummer - Demo

Hey everyone. I posted a while back about my previous app, "Goonchie Blunch" but nobody really commented. It got almost 2,000 downloads. I redesigned it all with new graphics and sounds. It's really cool now! It's a new app, so I renamed it "Touch Drummer - Demo". I'd love it if some of you could get it and let me know what you think! It should be under Games > Just In, relatively close to the top.
If you don't have Market here is the .apk
Version 1.21
http://www.mediafire.com/?nmjmmjndmix
Recent updates added new animated menus, "techno" sounds, support for all screen sizes, and runs on Cupcake 1.5 too now. I'm getting a lot of feedback now, since there have been almost 5,000 downloads of "Touch Drummer", and I think I'm gonna try to add some really cool features like creating custom loops and multitouch, then make that version cost around $2, whadayathink?

I am not sure if it is a paid app or not, but you may want to put either a QR, or a link for it in here since I just wrote something about it and it will probably be up in the portal sometime next week...

Thanks dude! The more time I have to work on it, the faster it will be. At the current state, there are a lot of png images that can take some time to switch on older phones. But the audio is pretty fast because the clips are ogg format.

I'm working on a version with multitouch support, since all the reviews have asked for it. I've got an HTC Incredible I can test on. But more importantly, I'm recognizing a multitouch on our old screens and I'll see if I can't play a new sound when you hit another drum, even if you don't release the first finger yet. That will probably be ready in a week if it works well.

Multitouch
So I'm really close to having multitouch work 100% (just for this app) on our devices. The problem I finally hit was there is no difference in the values I'm getting if you a) touch once, then remove and touch somewhere else simultaneously, or b) touch once and hold, and then touch somewhere else (multitouch). I can't think of a way to differentiate the two types of touches and it's the last piece of the puzzle. Usually when you lift up that first finger you get a certain code back, but when you press somewhere else quick enough the code does not come up! Any programmers or someone with an idea can help me?

Updated first post with new multitouch* app.
* - It works 60% of the time, every time.

Hey, you are live in xda's portal. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to change the title of the app... it got published sooner than I expected...

Would be cool if this could work on WinMo 6.5 or other devices. I love my HTC HD2 lol

That's alright. I'll have to do some updating of that title on the market (actually I just did update it to 1.03, but Touch Drummer is the version that allows really quick clicking on our devices), and I'll just tell people to search for the new version with more features will be called "Touch Drummer." Thanks a lot egzthunder!
EDIT: Touch Drummer - Demo is uploaded to the market.

New version, supports our small screens now, and even Cupcake. Updated first post with the newest apk.

So, our devices can do multitouch? Or at least, a hack up job?

Yes it's a hack job, the way I implemented it. When you first press twice I can recognize both fingers almost accurately. But if you try to move them there's no way of telling which one you are moving.
This was in the post earlier but I must have deleted it. The multi-touch was acting up because of the nature of the program and its quick presses. I took it out because most of the devices running my app are capacitive screens anyway. But if you wanted to see it, I could write up a simple demo app that would show a "1" under the first finger and a "2" under the next finger. It's an implementation that works, but I just don't have a good use for it in my app.

The background:
End of 2009, my personal smartphone era took off with one of the greatest devices I ever owned: I bought an HTC HD2,
which is known as the device which can be used with more OS platforms than any other (so far).
Sense 2.5 got even better when CHT (Cookiemonster´s Home Tab) came as an extension, and I started to theme the clock option.
After my HD2 fell to a stone floor and the screen broke into gazillions of tiny little pieces,
I had to move on, and after having been able to make extensive tests, I went for Android.
I actually don´t miss anything to set up my device to my taste - except for the clocks.
There are quite a few available in the web/market, but many of them come without a hand for the seconds,
not to mention missing display of the date and more.
The first step is made, I looked for a solution which is not eating too much battery,
and can be themed easily by an amateur like me. I again went for my favourite clocks from Lüm-Tec,
and with their official permission, their great clock design is now available for Android,
through using a special launcher called "Crazy Home" and its clock widget function!
Crazy Home actually reminds me strongly on CHT from its functionality (multiple home screens, easy to set up),
the free version includes some advertising. No big issue for me, and you can get the paid version without the advertising if that bothers you.
No advertising for that product from my side though, it´s just the (maybe temporary?) solution to get my clocks running on my phone.
The clocks have been tested on HTC Sensation and Samsung Galaxy S II, both of them running Android 2.3.4, and no issues discovered so far.

so we can collect more opinions and maybe find a programmer who helps to make a widget -
not only for me, but for many other users and clock themers!

Well, my HD2 unfortunately was completely destroyed... (my bad), otherwise, I´d still use it. It was running WP7 Mango in the "final days..."
Anyway, I got 2 different phones now, both are nice. And I can test my simple stuff with both, too.
I hope Crazy Home (which seriously reminds me on CHT due to multiple home screens, easily switchable) and thus my clocks run nicely on HD2...

Soon to be released...
