No autofocus in gtrabs rom??

I have trying out gtrab WM 6.5 + R3A beta rom for a couple of hours now. Its good but there is one thing. Then opening the camera and I want to take a picture, where is the autofocus?? The green square which used to appear then I pressed the camera button: Where is that ???
Is autofocus disabled in this Rom??

Maybe you shouldt post this in the right rom thread...Or ask straight to gtrab....
Hope this help.......

Every single post is important for me, and I did read yours
I have not replied to your inquire because I have not found a reason
I do have autofocus, as everybody else using the ROM
But don't worry: Sometimes big problems have simple solutions
Possibility 1:
Have you tryed settings -> Focus ??
(autofocus is the empty square)
Possibility 2:
Corrupted download or corrupted RAR decompression or corrupted flash...
You can try to re-flash the ROM to see if the problem persists
Possibility 3:
A hardware issue with your phone ??

Gtrab, you knwo what. maybe in others minds your rom is not the best, but you are the nicest guy. while in my mind, both the best.

hear hear, gtrabs, take a bow, cos you've really earned it.
and yah i do confirm that auto focus works on mine. am trying to recreate the disabled autofocus to try to help, and may have just done that,
1. go to the settings icon, (the spanner one), in your camera app. its on the bottom right.
2.click on the 2nd icon on the left, it should say focus, choose either the first icon (touch) or the one beside (Auto), and you should get your autofocus back. Good luck.
Yours may have been stuck on either the 3rd or 4th icon.

Don't know whats wrong Because it worked with the previous rom

[SOLVED] Desire Lockscreen

Hey there guys,
As the title says, i am meaning to ask about the HTC Desire lockscreen.
Our 2.1 Roms, including the ones from the HTC Legend, whenever you want to unlock you pull down the bar and the transition pulls down the lockscreen picture down as well.
On the HTC desire though, you just pull down the bar, and it unlocks in a better (for me) transition. The lockscreen picture stays intact, and the bar is just pulled down. I seem to prefer that.
Here's a video showing this @ 1:01.
Is this possible to achieve?
TIA
EDIT: 14/6/2010
Thanks to HomerSp (many many props) Desire lockscreen is now available!
Get it HERE as an update.zip.

Well..
Everything is possible! And I totally agree with you.

Yes, would be very nice. Perhaps a theme could resolve this or hopefully the official 2.1 will include this.

Now that we're three, anyone mind giving us a hint? I'll try and work on it myself if needed.

Gotha be something in the HTCLockscreen.apk !!
Hax some there making the lockscreen "wallpaper/background" not following the unlock bar. Instead you make it stand still and fadeout to the homescreen when unlock has been done.
Don't ask me how to do this tho

really liked it !
now , we are four

the lockscreen would be nice if it wre to be for the 2.1 roms

Also (thought I might add this in, might be some help), when answering a call only the bar slides down (not the background).
About whether this will be in the official 2.1, I'm not sure if this any indication of what to expect but on the HTC Wildfire (2.1 and similar specs to our Hero), the lockscreen is the same as the one we have in 1.5 (ie bar + background, not just bar).

My guess its just a modified HTCLockscreen.apk

lol me2, hasn't anyone just tried it? i was expecting to be hit with problems when opening this thread, just make a nandroid backup and push the file to /system/app.

Yea figured as much as well, thing is i have no idea if, due to the difference in screen size, it would get affected ( i suppose it will).
And due to me not knowing HOW to edit apk's, thought maybe i'd ask first.
I'll be uploading in a while the Lockscreen.apk off of MCR ROM for the Desire. My ROM isn't deodexed, so I can't test it, if any of you guys wanna give it a try, please do so and let me know. Nandroid first, as kendong said.
edit. just remove the HTCLockscreen.apk from system/app/ and push this one via adb.

Well, as noone tried it, i did a nandroid and cooked a Villain rom 5.5.0 with the APK integrated in it.
Freezes on boot. Ill try again and get a logcat, see if someone can help out.

I like the collapsing effect we have on 1.5..

Ok so instead of a cooked rom, i went ahead and installed 5.5.0 Villain Rom today, and removed the normal HtcLockScreen.apk via adb, and pushed the new one.
As expected, same as above, it wouldn't boot. I've got a logcat now.
Anyone mind giving this a look?

I am still not giving up here.
Decompiled the apk's via the APKTool, and i am "trying" to compare the two. Anyone with more knowledge please help me out.
Here are the two decompiled apk's. One from VR 5.5.0 and the other one from the Desire.
I do believe that this might be a problem with /system/frameword/com.htc.resources.apk. If it is, i have no idea how to fix it. This guess is based upon the fact that most themers update that particular apk in order to move from old framework rosies to new ones (1.5 =>2.1).
ANY help is appreciated.

There are 4 changed files located in DesireLock\smali\com\htc\lockscreen
HtcLockScreen$1.smali
HtcLockScreen$5.smali
HtcLockScreen.smali
R$string.smali
Comparing these would probably come up with only the bar going down as these files are smalled then the original hero lockscreen.

You based this on the file size difference, didn't you?
Well, substituting the files from the old lockscreen to the new desire lockscreen, then recompiling would make it work, you believe?

If all the other requets are the same, then yes it should be just a few lines actually. But i have no idea what the other differences between say the dialer, or other functionality the desire lockscreen adds/remove's.

I really want this too

Wouldn't it be easier to get the desire lockscreen.apk and put the graphics from the hero into the apk-file and edit the layout so the images fit into the screen?

com.htc.resource.apk issues...

hey, i've been screwing around pulling .apks from /system/app + /framework...and pretending i'm some hardcore themer or something...lol anyway...
firstly sorry for my lack of correct terminology...i only learnt how to use adb properly a few days ago and am very green when it comes to all this stuff.
i've managed to pull some pngs from com.htc.resource.apk which correspond to the main part of the sense/rosie interface (ie the buttons at the bottom of the home screen).
All i have been looking at doing is editing the colours of these pngs to add slight customisation..for now.
After editing i pushed com.htc.resource.apk back to my hero and hey presto it worked...nice new coloured interface (just the bottom of the homescreen, not everything like i've seen in some themers work and metamorph themes) but alas i came across a MASSIVE issue:
I lost the ability to sign into my google account and sync my contacts!!!!
I tried again and had the same issue...very strange i thought seen as i was only editing images...but i know computer systems can be temperamental...
so does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? possibly how i can fix this issue? it's been bugging me for at least 24 hrs and i'm sure there must be some easy fix. at first i thought it could be something to do with signing the files, but as far as i'm aware as i'm only playing with pngs no signing has to be done...correct me if i'm wrong.
I'm using villain rom 10.3 at the moment...if that makes a difference to whatever answers i'm hoping to get.
I've attached an image oh my status bar so far. i'm hoping to make a corresponding rosie/sense button thingy interface in the near future...
all help is GREATLY appreciated and i'm happy to share any "work" that i've done with anyone..so don't be shy.
Cheers

hey bro! i was playing around with the htc.com.resources.apk too! was trying to edit the lockscreen to a different style but too encounter the exact same problems as you faced!
apparently this guy, odin13 in his post
"clear sense lockscreen for Cronos 1.7.1"
managed to edit the htc.com.resources.apk without any facing any problems like us. im actually using his edited htc.com.resources.apk for clear lockscreen right now..

Cheers for the reply, bit of a flummoxing problem. I'll try an find odin and see if he can help!
Please anyone else feel free to help me here :-D

Hi guys,
Sorry for my late response but i just noticed the msg i got...
I'm really sorry but i really can't help you with this problem.
You should better ask it in the Villain forum since i'm no developer or some like that.
The boyz at Villain will definately be able to help you out with this or at least they can tell you what's going wrong.
The 'trick' with lockscreen is something i read once in a post ( can't remember which forum though ) so it's not even something i will take credit for.
Good luck bro and srry again for the late response!
hoi,
odin

Hey thanks for getting back to me man, greatly appreciated. Those boys at villain did solve it, i think it was a combination of pulsar & ultimately shen who sorted me out.
For stuff like the lockscreen and sense interface you need to create an update signed zip file and flash that way. no more loss of contacts which is great!
Happy days!

Identifying theme

Sorry for making a topic with this kind of problem but i'm obsessed with my current theme, i use it ever since i bought my first android phone and rooted it.
The problem is that now with the launch of cyanogenmod 6.1, if i flash the update, i enter into a bootloop. Now i'm searching for the original thread to see if the uploaded updated his theme but i can't seem to find it cause i've downloaded it ages ago.
I only have a few infos that might help me find the theme.
1. the name of the zip is "CM_601_Final_Black_with_Circle_Mod_Blue.zip"
2. it looks kinda like this:
http://i53.tinypic.com/25g8mpt.png
statusbar (black), the wifi icon, circle battery, signal.

regarding font size on stock ICS + sense 3.6

Hi,
i've looked around but it seems i am the only one with this problem:
Since i've got the OTA font size has become so small i can barely read text and menus. I think it has to do with a different way to handle dpi density on ics (??!), anyway the situation was so terrible i unlocked at htcdev and flashed Nik's Project X (which is great by the way) and thanks god (and Nik) it solved the problem. Now that WE WANT ICS v4 is out i was just wondering if it handles text the same way as stock or if it's modded.
I apologise in advance for my use of english, i'm from rome

I never had problems reading text in We_Want_ICS v3. I guess in v4 it's pretty much the same but I can't tell U for sure because my phone is getting repaired... But you can test it yourself. Backup your current ROM, flash We_Want_ICS v4 and see if you can read the text properly. But I think you can edit font size in settings anyway. But I'm not sure though...
I hope this helped a little...

I always thought the text size in Gingerbread was too big so I quite like them in ICS, everyone is different though, I think there should always be a setting to change this kind of thing, if Cyanogenmod can do it, why can't HTC do it in HTC Sense...

I remember the first update from froyo to gb came with supersize fonte as a bug: best ten minutes of my life (then i got another ota which fixed them )
