For Developers: Album.apk mod - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i have a question:
I'm on cyanogenmod and i love it but only feature that for me is missing in this and other no Hero/Sense rom is the finger slide feature in album apk. Is it possible to port this feature (or the whole apk) in other roms?(no hero/sense roms)
I can't use hero roms because i need bluetooth

i don't think you can because you htc frame work

I hope someone can add only that feature in default album apk, if the whole apk is not possible due to htc framework

search the market
there is an app called galleryslide or photoslide or something like that
also, the photoshop app supports swiping

I tried photo burst, but is very slow.
I also flashed hero roms (only for try) and finger slide was very nice and useful, i only need to implement it in default apk, but i don't know how.
Original browser don't have pinch to zoom but in many roms it's implemented, so why nobody try to implement finger slide in album?
Please make it

Wallpaper problem when sliding keyboard open

Did a search and found nothing. Was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem.
When I slide my keyboard open and it goes in portrait, the wallpaper is tiled and no longer stretches out a large image like it used to. Is there anyway to fix this problem?
can someone help por favor?
try changing the theme then set it back to first one

yes i remember i had a problem with this as well... and i remember swapingt the theme fixed the problem.
but i have always thought, would it be possible to use animated backgrounds?
do you mean changing the theme in the today menu? Cause that's not doing it either. It has only been doing this after I did a hard resete and didn't let the phone load all of AT&Ts stuff.
PLease help. I switched my theme between all of them and none fixed the wallpaper going into tile when I slide for the keyboard. It's still tiled

Doesn't this mean the wallpaper being used is not sized for landscape?

No, my tilt used to zoom in on the picture. I have an image of captain america and then when I used to slide it open it used to zoom in on the top portion of his body.

I can't say that I've ever actually seen wallpaper tile on WM5 or 6. I've seen poorly made themes that when switched to landscape create a border on the left and right of the wallpaper. All of the standard themes included with WM6 seem to work fine in portrait and landscape for me. Maybe we could get an attachment of the particular wallpaper causing the problem?

Yeah, i'm starting to believe that the problem is an app that ATT installed. Cause this time when I hard reset, I didn't let the bloatcrap stuff from ATT install. And I only have the problem now. Either that, or it's the new ROM that ATT put out that is doing it, which I doubt.
But you're right, the Themed backgrounds don't have problems in portrait, only my pictures I set as backgrounds do. But note that I didn't have this problem before.
Are there any CAB fixes for this? Does anyone even know what the problem is?
Try this:
Your Today wallpaper is stwater_240_320.jpg (portrait) and stwater_320_240.jpg (landscape). They are found in the windows directory. Use an image editor to edit the images how you want them to look, and then replace them. I have to copy them to my device, then overwrite them on the device as copying them from ActiveSync doesn't seem to work.
You may need to define your today wallpaper manually before those files will show up.
can you elaborate on this more? I think there's a more simple fix to it from a CAB that is installed from ATT somewhere in the windows folder. Because like I said, this problem didn't occur before until I hard resete and didn't let any of the crap from ATT load.
My other speculation is that it may be the HTC home plug in.
i have the same problem
i have 2 formats of the picture i want to use
one in landscape and the other in portrait
but if i set one as the wallpaper how do i set the other format for when i open the keyboard up
well I have found a solution, but it's tedious without the ATT stuff that used to do it automatically.
First you slide your keyboard open, and then you set it as a wallpaper. Then it will ask you to select what part you want to be displayed in portrait. You can not open the picture and then slide the keyboard, it won't work.
1. SLide keyboard
2. select picture and then set as background.

AOSP 2.0 rom modding help needed

I love the AOSP build, but I'd like to change some of it...
Is it possible to get the sense keyboard on it (I HATE the vanilla one)?
And how do I remove the background on the lockscreen?
thanks for any help!

I believe to do much of this you need to modify the source. For the Sense keyboard you need the HTC frameworks which essentially makes the system an HTC Sense system anyway. I know back in the day Cyanogen released an HTC_IME.apk that would work standalone but I never got it to work on AOSP.
For the lockscreen, I believe this is part of the AOSP source as well but someone will need to confirm that for me.

I figured that much. I just don't know what .apk's to push. I flashed the signed IME from that new thread about stock Rosie, but it did nothing
I figure the lockscreen is just an image somewhere that I need to edit. I know the 2.1 build has a clear vanilla lock.
What don't you like about the keyboard? I think its just as good as the HTC one. Once you get the dictionary working properly that is. I posted up a thread just the other day on predictive text. Flips sent a link where you can get an updated IME file. Check it out. If you're still not happy, check out better keyboard apk from the market.

the layout is WAY off. and, the lack of a 'keyboard close' button, i cannot stand. plus, with the HTC one, i don't have to hit a button to get to my punctuation...
i've flashed the IME and that helped (i'm glad he had all the curse words. lol) but i'm still against the general layout...
i'm in love with the AOSP because its so minimal on the system memory that it makes my phone quick as lightning. i just want a clear lock screen and the Rosie keyboard...

[REQUEST] autorotate animation

I don't know if this is the right place to post this. So mods have at it and move if needed. Would it be possible to have an app or code in a rom that'll animate the screen during use of the autorotate feature? Obviously I have no clue on how to code
This would be nice, the iPhone makes a nice animation when switching between landscape and portrait. I wouldn't necessarily suggest making one the same, but making any would be cool.
Yes, I think it's a good idea.
But PLEASE, do not fork the iPhone
And I really don't see how to do such a thing.. Any dev?

Did you check out the option > Fancy input animations < @ SpareParts ?

Doesn't that only make animations for sliding windows like keyboards? I think the OP means for rotating from landscape to portrait.
+1 this would be grreat i hate the way it just goes blank and shows up agen, no smoothness about it :/
is even settle for a simple fade like on the old old G1 roms. or that rotate.
I've already started a thread about that here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=662609
I tried the spare parts option, it didn't do anything.
i, too, like this idea. :]
+1 would be great!
another +1, I think this is a really important feature
Droidsans tweak tool on the market used to do this for the g1 I don't know if it works on the nexus

TouchWiz for eris?

Does anyone know if the touchwiz 3.0 ui has been ported for the eris or hero? I know it has been ported for the nexus one, and it works on the eris, but it seems like it was ported for the larger screen that the nexus has because the icons seem to be too large.
hey.. i have the touchwiz ui on my eris and it works very well
no root required just go to the link
just look for
touchwiz3 launcher for the Spica
i hope this works for you
Works great and display size seems pretty on point. Thanks for the info.
The ui or lau?ncher

can you customize the 4 on the bottom yet? I cant find how. BTW thanks for the link. It actually runs pretty smooth. I kinda like the interface as well as LP but need to be able to customize it.

Open the app drawer, press the menu softkey, and select edit. Then simply drag the desired app shortcuts into the dockbar.

Ok cool... only down side is if you use something like apps organizer (like I do) which creates shortcuts to app groups. You cant put one down there cause, although it uses shortcuts, they are not in the app drawer.

Zooming transition

any know how to get the zooming transition betweeen apps like theres in rodieguez LWP but just without the LWP ?
try enabling animations in the app Spare Parts (found on market). - I *think* you can do it there. I'm not entirely sure thou.
Spare Parts does nothing about Zooming transition. It's an addition thing, not from Sense.

An app can specify to the framework to use that animation, such as eliot stocker's music player or Rodriguez sense. You can modify the framework to use a certain animation for all applications. A metamorph would be the best way, though it might not work with sense frameworks. See if you can find an animation FOR SENSE FRAMEWORKS in the android themes section. otherwise you'll have to unpack frameworks.
