Placing Multiple static wallpapers on Marketplace - Android Themes

Hi,
I'm trying to place a number of static wallpapers on Android
Marketplace but it looks like i need to generate an app (.apk) file to
do this. Does anyone have any source to allow the user to select from
a number of wallpapers within the code. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated as at the moment i'm at a loss. even just to place
one wallpaper would be a start.
Regards,
Dave

The code shown in this example in the android documentation
hxxp://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Environment.html#getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(java.lang.String)
Would allow you to copy pictures from your applications resources to the pictures directory on the sd card, where the android gallery will pick them up. you have easily modify this to copy multiple images.
Though I may suggest the joining the horrible crowd of apps that serve no other purpose that being a "wallpaper pack" clogging up the market is a bad idea...

Or do it properly like this?
Kang-o-rama-Wallpapers.apk
Adds an entry to the Wallpaper Picker as well.

how would you go about taking the ringtones off a phone?
id take all the ones from the milestone to throw up here *there is ALOT of different ringtones on this phone for stock.*
Removing system Ringtones, etc.
Code:
adb remount
adb rm /system/media/audio/ringtones/*.*
Will remove all ringtones.
Code:
adb remount
adb rm /system/media/audio/notifications/*.*
Will remove all notifications.
Code:
adb remount
adb rm /system/media/audio/alarms/*.*
Will remove all alarm sound files.
Root Explorer is worth the couple of bucks on Market, especially for this kind of thing.
For chosing sound files on your SD card (notifications and ringtones) I use RingsExtended, which is available for free on the Android Market. If you prefer a directory structure instead of scrolling through a long list of file names, OI File Manager allows this. If you want to use the default ringtone picker and you have Apps2SD, put your files in:
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/
or
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications/
or
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms/
depending on how you want to use them. (I hope that 's self-explanatory. If it's not, too bad. Figure it out. Not to be mean, but I know you can if you put some effort into it.)
Here's my list of Ringtones, etc There are about 440 in this zip.
http://www.mediafire.com/?mym2vmgyzri
1. I have named all the files shorter than 10 seconds with a prefix of "Alert-"
2. I have renamed all the files from 10 to 30 seconds with a prefix of "Ring-"
3. I have renamed all the files longer than 30 seconds with a prefix of "Alarm-" in hope that people will start waking themselves gently with a ramp up time on their alarm tones. (I may add some files that actually ramp up in volume for the cheapskates who won't spend a buck on a ramping alarm app. I may not. I know how tough it is to have to scrimp a dollar, but I also realize developers work their hineys off for peanuts. If you can support a developer, do, so that those who genuinely can't, like some independent developers, can still have access to decent free apps.)
Not all of the files with "Alert-" on them were intended to be notifications. Many of them were intended to be ringtones. My naming convention is determined by temporal length exclusively, except for a couple of 9-second files. Please feel free to use "Alert-" files as ringtones, as they genereally have a file size of less than 50kb and can be accessed quickly when your phone starts the incoming call process. I used the word "Alert" since it struck me as generic, but still helps define how long the sound file is.
I have converted these to ogg-vorbis format since the Xda-Developers' forum around reducing time before Android phones ring determined ogg was the fastest. I did it with the Windows app "Audacity." If you want to add effects, convert to and from a few widely-used formats, or otherwise manipulate sound files, I strongly recommend this free download: AUDACITY
Most of these are readily available online. A few of them I wrote. Some of them I downloaded and doctored up. My apologies to the authors/composers/developers if I butchered them. If you want credit, please, please alert me. The only reason I didn't give credit is that I didn't know where to put it. OK, yes, I have to apologize to HTC. They are just consistently good in the sound and graphics departments.
EDIT (15 Mar, Mon): I Edited the Metadata so it includes the prefixes. When you're using Rings Extended now, all of the alerts will be together, and all of the rings will be together. If it didn't have Metadata, I left it out so that it'll use the file name. Sorry about that.
Has anyone ever noticed how much alike the iPhone and Tmo stock rings are?
Here's a little something for anyone who wants. It's no *great* shakes, but I figure they can use all the help we can give them. I like these... in an office-appropriate way.
thanks man
has anyone got the facebook pop sound that they could post?
edit: never mind i found it

Sense Bookmark Icons

Hi there,
i searched the forum for a while now for a problem that every now and then pops up for me after reflashing. I'm searching for an automatic way to assign my own thumbnail graphics on the sense internet tab.
I use the manual way sometimes after flashing, but it is not satisfying me, because it takes lot of time to copy the files, rename my original files to the newly created ones and copy them back. So most of the time i don't use the icons...
Yes, i know that the pics have to be 512x512px PNG Files, and i also know that they are stored under Windows\Thumbnails .
I'm searching for where the information for the lookup of these pics (for example {2B1EE4E4-651F-D4DC-708B-DB1319CA381E}.png) is stored. I neither found it in the registry, nor in the filesystem as plain text. I copied the whole file system to my pc and did a in-file-search.
For me there are now to last possibilities where to find them:
Theyre stored as hex values in registry or in filesystem, so that a normal textsearch is useless or
theyre stored in a database file.
If someone has an idea which file it is or if theres another possibility i would be glad to hear it. It makes me crazy that we can change EVERYTHING on our wm-devices since years, but something like the bookmark icons (whch is significant for me) is so hard to find
best regards, Puckmeister
Are you looking for "Custom icons" or just a snapshot of the webpage? I know that if you save the favorite in opera 9/10 and open the favorite from inside opera (from the favorites menu) you will then see the screenshot of said favorite in sense.

[ICONS] Custom App Folder Project

binar1 Custom App Folder Project
I love changing folder icons on my pc desktop computer so they are easy to recognize and wanted to do the same on my PPC and phone.
There is plenty of info on how to change icons on mobile device and software such as SK Shortcut Manager that can make these changes quickly.
However there seems to be a lack of standard folder icons that represent the application or files it contains.
So i have started a project to make custom folder icons for all apps on my phone, and thought I would make them available here as a thank you for all the help the members of this site has given me. Even though this is my first post I have spend many hours searching, reading and learning.
Seeing as folders manly show in a file explorer I have made the first test set for Resco Explorer and a few other Resco apps. The sample set below contains a dll with Resco icons in Win2k, WM5 and WM6.1 style folders plus standard app icons (see screenshot)
Now the plan is to duplicate this for as many apps as I can, but this is a slow process. I am still learning and need some help to move this project forward.
I have tested these on my TyTN II and ipaq RX1950 and they look great to me.
If anyone would like to test the samples set and suggest anything to improve future sets please let me know.
Current ideas include.
Making separate dll for each folder type.
Matching pc desktop folder icons
Creating other formats for use in other apps
Update
Added Spb Folders Separate dll for each folder type

[APP] Notepad v4.0

Name: Notepad
About the app:
The Office app is powerful, but its syncing features slow it down. Notepad by AppsForMe is a great app to choose if you just want to take plaintext notes without the wait. It’s also the only text editor that supports folder structures, and the look of the app makes it feel like a part of the operating system (animations included). You can also pin documents or directories to the Start screen and send documents as emails or text messages.
The app has 4.6/5 stars over 48 reviews.
“Amazing app and it does what it says without any problems. Easily the best Notepad app on the marketplace and the fastest” 5/5
“Superb. You can store email and SMS templates. It makes life a lot easier. Don't miss it.” 5/5
“Very, very, very well done. Thank you.” 5/5
Developer's notes:
I'm always looking for more feedback on Notepad. Unfortunately, I don't get a huge number of support emails, so I'm left up to my own devices to figure out what could be added or needs to be changed.
Please give the application a shot. If you like it, great! If you don't, let me know what's up (in the comments). Chances are I can do something about it. Thanks for reading!
Possible future features (not guaranteed in any way, and not listed in any particular order.)
+ change keyboard theme
+ password-protect
+ lists
+ quick folders (swipe in directory view)
+ "emtpy trash" button
+ scroll sideways on long filenames
+ "import all" to parse "backup all"/"export all"
+ "export all" -> skydrive
+ import from url (skydrive/dropbox)
+ "are you sure?" -> "ready to send?"
+ title of note title -> "document title"
+ custom-name "root"

I'll be watching this thread as well as my developer email, [email protected], for any questions, comments, complaints, or concerns. Thanks!
Some screenshots (attached).
Thank you!!!
Glad you like it!
Please let me know anything about it that seems weird or cool. I do things a lot differently than all of the other text editor applications, and I want to know what's good and what's not.
Wow really good Idea ! I have searched this for Quick Notes ( i use on the PC often the Editor ) and I would use a similiar App on the Phone ...
Thank you!!! i need this for school
simple and does what it says, good app
Notepad Suggestion
First, great Notepad app. I would just like to add a password to a note file.
Thanks!
It's good to see interest in the application! Notepad just hit 15,000 downloads today, and I'm always looking to make that number higher, so the more suggestions you guys have the better.
So far I'm seeing requests for:
(1) a new live tile, particularly for pinned documents/directories
(2) change the name of the "root" directory (to what, though, I wonder?)
(3) password-protect documents
(4) implement lists as well as documents
Anyone have any other suggestions, or want to plus-one a feature?
--AppsForMe
Guess you had missed our review. Skydrive Integration and ability to send notes as attachment.
Yes, I definitely saw your review! I actually did implement two of your suggestions (preview of content when pinned, ability to move folders).
Here's how I feel about your other requests:
First, the Windows Phone operating system prevents third-party developers (read: me) from sending email attachments. Same goes for speech-to-text.
Second, as soon as you want SkyDrive, you should just be using Office. The Office app supports either (a) local files without folders, or (b) SkyDrive files with SkyDrive folders. Goodness knows that I can never match the Office app for stability, integration, features, or UI. Plus, Notepad's other sell is that it's fast--loading notes, saving notes, navigating folders--implementing web functions would slow everything wayyyy down. I see the lack of SkyDrive as a selling point.
(Side note: Office supports sending documents as attachments. Two birds with one stone!)
Notepad for WP the best
I think the requests thus far are pretty much what is missing although it seems it's going to be an uphill battle due to OS restrictions. Installed the app last week on my Lumia and it's amazing, clean and easy to use. Keep up the good work.
I used to use this app, but it had this bug where i could not scroll to the bottom of the longer note. Has that been resloved in the meantime?
Also, I think skydrive sync is important (or even dropbox). When someone changes phones, how is he going to transfer notes?
thank you i need this apps
All the problems with long notes have been fixed.
I'm going to leave the auto-syncing between SkyDrive and the phone up to the native Office application--it does it better, faster, and more reliably than I ever could.
If you need to back up your documents, use the "backup all" feature to email yourself the text of the documents.
Hi Isaac,
Great app. I registered here just to say that, and thank you. I'm a note taking person but one that wants to keep them organize and your app is the only one that does it with ease. (I must of downloaded a dozen to try and removed..only one other did folders, the rest was just one giant list of notes).
If you're serious about taking users feedback, here are some of mine...all are minor little things that are mostly ui based and these are just my opinions. I think your application here is quite impressive so take these only to help out for those you agree with..
- replace 'root' with 'home' or 'my folders' perhaps?
- replace 'Remarks' when creating a new directory with 'Note: ' or remove the word entirely and place the remark note under the text field.
- titles of Directories and Notes become all lower-cased when viewing
- clicking the back button when in Search mode hides the keyboard only, so it requires clicking the back button again to exit the search function..this may be an OS thing I've seen and not something that can be changed unless you can find a way around this.
- add a Folders button at the bottom when in a non root directory to take you back, just like how it appears when in a note to take you back to its directory.
- when in a directory, can the word Notepad and the Directory name on top take you back to the folder list view or one folder out if in a subfolder?
- possible to allow user to choose which directory(ies) to list mango-syle to the right where they can swipe to the right and to go into that directory (sorry if this is unclear, I'm not too familiar with WP terminology yet)
- Button to empty trash when viewing trash directory. btw, how does the trash work..deletes automatically after so long?
- when viewing a file that has a long filename (and the feature is turned on), can it scroll?
- reduce space between documents filenames ..currently lists 5 before needing to scroll?
- backup all..cool feature. I would change 'Are you sure?' which sounds a little scary to something like 'Ready to Send?' btw, can you import back into Notepad? If note, perhaps call the feature 'email all' instead for now..
- when creating a new note it shows 'new document', the next screen where it ask for the file name it displays 'new note' ..just a consistence thing
- are all notes saved as txt files on the device? what if you remove the .txt? does it need to be displayed if it's automatically saving them as txt files.
- Can titles of notes and directories names be the system's accent color and turn black when choosing them? ..the reverse essentially.
- when adjusting toggle sliders in Settings, the phone wants to swipe to it's neighboring page a little too freely (btw, love all the settings you have here!)
- remove the larger 'root' when in the root directory list to gain some real estate back to see more directories and so it's not repeating perhaps?
And if you need any simple graphics help, I can help out.
I'd love to see Dropbox support with everything being saved to dropbox and loaded from dropbox. I'd even pay for a dropbox enabled version.
Can it handle long text file ?
Can it import text file from skydrive?
Can we Password lock the app or folder?
thanx
First: Thanks, Lumiame, for the excellent feedback. You've greatly extended the set of features I'm considering adding, and you've noted UI inconsistencies and confusions that I'll make sure to address in the next update.
To everyone who's commented so far: thanks for the good feedback. This quarter at my university is slower than my last quarter, so I should be able to get to work on the app.
Look for a good number of changes in the next updates.
thanks for sharing

Photo Gallery Question - any help or suggestions on replacement app?

Hi... I've recently gone through most of the pictures I had on my SD card and placed them in folders that are appropriately named. I have a question with nested folders. As an example set up, I have created a folder called Animals. Inside the Dogs folder, there are several sub-folders named for the animals they represent - i.e. "Dogs", "Cats", "Birds", etc. In the file manager program they are arranged neatly with no problems. I open the stock gallery app that comes with the ROM I have on my Galaxy Note 4 and I have the option for FOLDER and TIME. When I choose FOLDER, it shows me all the folders I have created - all at one time. Is there a way to simply show the Animals folder, and then when I tap on that, I can then see the sub folders?? I placed pictures in sub folders for this reason so that I would not see a boat-load of folders on the initial screen, but I could narrow things down by folder, then sub-folder (and even, perhaps another layer of sub-folder?)? Am I missing a setting, or did I arrange things wrong, or is there another app that might show things this way, or is it just S.O.L. for what I'd like?
Thank you in advance for your answers and suggestions
Wingmann
