I'm new to the whole customization here. I know how to install a few things, but not quite sure what all i need. I have the 8525 and I want to change my theme. I want some of the features that this phone has:
phone at top
how do i get the weather to look like that- and at the top of the screen
is that a seprate program, or what.
also the icons under that. thanks for any help
the weather thing is called htc home, you can find it all over this forum. in fact, someone just has another thread on this in this very forum with a download link in there.
and the icons at the bottom......the name is in the thread title of that link
Sorry guys, just figured it out, and thought it would have been more complicated. Turns out I wasn't asking much
Mate, word of advice, before you start flashing OS's PLEASE READ A BIT AND HARD SPL YOUR PHONE.......(makes it easier to recover if/when something goes wrong) I think most people have had experiance with a brick at one time or another...
We dont mind helping out with stuff ( it can be fun to help and gives a nice fuzzy feeling when things go right) but if you research a bit first you will generally find your question has been answered MULTIPLE times over. If you still have problems ask away... Answers will be more forthcoming when people see some research has been done...
Anyways, Welcome and happy flashing...
Okay,
I have this problem where I am never pleased with anything I do, so I keep trying to improve it and improve it even further. The time has come.
I have been coding the new features for my website (www.touch-innovation.com) and here is the list I have thought of and has users suggest via email:
- Live submit (Submit directly onto the site... instantly. With lots of security though )
- Screenshots on category lists
- Download names instead of random hash.
- Add comments to news sections
- And lots of admin panel updates which you don't need to know about
Another thing is, what do you think of the design. Does it need a re-design? Does it need to be minimilsed or what not?
Help me out come on, throw me some ideas!
<3
dude, this sounds great
all of those features sound like excellent additions. good work on the coding
no, the site looks fine the way it is
Why do you want to change that site it's clear easy to use and looks cool
Because people have complained about the fixed backgrounds on the left and right. I was thinking of making them a bit thinner to make more room for content and shiz.
Thanks for your compliments, so you don't have any other feature requests? And the Live sumbmission idea, would anyone use it?
Thanks again
Anyone with a decent knowledge of php drop me a line. I'm having problems editing filenames on the fly (sounds easier than it is trust me, complex scenario).
The one and only thing I'd like to see changed? Not use javascript when clicking on applications to take you to their detail page. I get annoyed when I can't open it in another tab
It only uses javascript for the onhover effect and to make the whole td a link. If you want to open it in the new tab, just right click on the name (which is a hard link, for people without javacript).
It's been like this since first release, I did it just incase of no javascript

I guess I need more specifics, but a nice little loop with the function rename() should do the trick. I am sure you have looked at some resources, but the php.net site is great, here is rename with tons of good examples, some of which I have used in the past:
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.rename.php
Hope this helps, FYI the site looks great!

Thanks, rename isn't on the fly though. I'd have to rename it, then let the user download it... wait till the user has downloaded it, and then rename it back. And what hapens if someone else trys to download it in the proccess of this, they'll get a 404 for the file. I'd have to copy to a new location and do it that way. No point, I need on the fly not permanent. Normally I would use the rename function but it's not helpfull in this sutation.
I just need to play with the headers for a while and get them working .
Thanks for your help though
And thanks for the compliments.

hell yeah, I know that feeling...I´m never pleased with my designs as well
And no, it doesnt need a major refresh yet but try to make the background a bit lighter so the whole site gets a bit more contrast. Just lighten up the background by 10-20% or so and show us what it would look like
And tell me if I´m wrong...but "Touch friendly programs for the windows mobile" sounds extremly strange, what about leaving the "the" out ?

Martin

I didn't understand what you needed, and I think now I do, you want to change the name as someone is downloading a file correct? If so, check this sample out, modify the header section as needed, ie this line:
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"");
you could do any type of processing on the name you need, then just pass the string like above. Here is the link to the rest:
http://apptools.com/phptools/force-download.php
Hope this helps
m.schmidler:
Thanks, I'll try that now. And the "The" bit... Well it makes it sound like it's the only decent phone - aka unlike iphone . Its pronounced th-eee not th-u. So it sounds slightly different.
Get what I mean?
mjg7876:
I've been looking into the disposition header for a while, but the way I currrently download files is quite simple but to interlock these 2 things togeather is complex. Especially considering I will need to do checking, exploding (for the file extension) and redirecting if it's not hosted on the server. I make things too complicated lol.
Thanks for your help guys btw
Anyone else?
Is it me or does the logo from this site in this post look very similar to yours?

Great Site
I love your Site. In my opinion : it doesn't need any re-design.
But i do have one suggestion : it would great to have your tables with worting features.... One could just click on the title of one column and it would be sorted.... Understand what i mean ?
Thank for your work.
Thanks for your kind words
And btw, you can already sort them (programs list only atm). Simply click on the title, download, views, etc. and it will resort.
Try it
BTW: That logo looks like a skeleton version of mine :/. There's everthing thats on mine, just minimilised! What's going on? :/
ATM work is up to my eyes, so I've had to slow down on the development. It's not something I can rush due to security.
Any more suggestions I will be more than greatful
I'm on a mission! These are the things that I want to change on my x1. If you know of a way to fix any of these then please please please let me know how.
Here they are in no particular order
1) Auto Que text messages
By this I mean.... if I try to send a text message with no signal I get a big nasty red message saying something along the lines of Message Was Not Sent. Try again? and a loud annoying beep to follow
What I want...... Is to be able to hit send, jam the phone back in my pocket and get back to what I was doing. Happy in the knowledge that if I didn't have signal when I sent the message, it will automatically re-send as soon as I walk into signal.
2) Find a free way of making video calls (I can only get skype to make voice calls)
3) Skin the text messages or find a text message panel to make it easier to use and less ugly
4) Add a storage card shortcut to my start menu
5) Stretch the landscape pin entry to full screen
6) Get the OK button to actually cancel and close things
PROBLEM SOLVED With WkTASK I can hit the x button then select "close" or "close all"
7) Stretch the landscape keyboard to the full length of the screen
PROBLEM SOLVED With Finger Keyboard 2 the keyboard is stretched across the full length of the landscape screen. Plus I no longer have to sharpen my thumb nail to a point to be able to send a text message
8) Totally Remove today screen lines (not just change the color)
9) Play Game Boy Advance Roms in full screen landscape mode
10) Remove "today" and recent programs icons from the start menu.
11) Stretch the top right cross button
I have installed gtrabs SEX1 "F" series Task bar icons and I love them. id also like to stretch the x at the top right of my screen to twice its width. To make it easier to press.
PROBLEM SOLVED With WkTASK I have skinned the x button its not allot bigger but it dose make it easier to press.
12) Make it easier to change tracks whilst driving
I have a sat nav style phone holder that sticks my x1 to my car windscreen in landscape mode, with the buttons out. I connect my x1 to my car stereo and pump out the tunes via my car speakers. But with the media experience panel its so hard to change tracks without looking, the button is so small its dangerous
PROBLEM SOLVED The driving panel is more than what I was looking for it has mph, track shuffle, sat nav button, and perfectly sized volume, track skip, and pause buttons, Xuanlong got it to me 10 days before it was released!
13) Stop the experience panel changing color I want it to stay ocean blue

Where did you get the on the road panel from??
(Pre Release) On The Road Panel
(Pobierz = Download) right click, save target as. some people have problems downloading I managed to get it to work on Internet Explore. Other new panels here but are reported to be a bit buggy.
On the Road Panel looks great, but the navigation button/config does not work
Where can I get my TT maped to the button?
now, that's just lame... this problem fixed by someone @ sonyericssonx1.proboards.com... it sort of sounds like:
'the xda community has once again proven to be unfriendly and unhelpful but thanks god someone at proboards helped me out there, so why don't you guys and gals all come along and let's help ourselves by posting links to stuff that's on xda'
come on dude, you could have just read through topics on this forum to see what's out there that might be useful or used the search option, most of the issues you had and wanted resolved were quick hits
To make the reply box larger in messaging you can use Total Commander to search for and edit the file thread_sms.htm in the windows directory. It's a hidden file so make sure you have 'show all files' checked when you search for it
Look for this line:
<inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBECT" width="98%" height=35 spell focus count .. .. ..
Change height (in this case 35) to 70 and you get 3 lines for text replies. Just change the numbers and see what works for you and soft reset after editing the file...
Still an ugly interface but much easier to use. Mine is set at 140.
Sorry, but I had to post this. I saw the other shameless plug for your site on another thread as well and didn't bother to comment. I hate people who say "this looks like an ad" and "you should use search"... but this looks like an ad and you should use search.
I personally don't really care if you want to share your website with others, my only issue is that you should give credit where credit is due.
Might want to change your post to read "problem solved thanks to X @sonyericssonx1.proboards.com WITH solutions that could have easily been solved by using the search function from XDA developers" since most of those tools came from here anyway (apart from the driving panel. wktask is a japanese program, but it was adapted into english on these boards).
But to be honest, if you cant use the search function here, it's probably best to post elsewhere anyways.
PS most of your other points can be found here as well. Just use search.

Classic QFT.
Like I said before, I have no problem with you and your board, but don't rub it in our faces every chance you get.
Again, most of these questions can be answered fairly easily using XDA search.
As I imagine it can be hard to do the storage card shortcut, I'll give you a hint on it. On your phone, navigate to \windows\start menu. There you'll find a whole lot of shortcuts. Copy and rename the extension one of them to .txt and open it. You'll see a nice and comprehensable path there. Adjust it, save and rename back to .lnk. You're all set!
For the shortcut problem (storage card): why don't you try the easiest way "copy"->"paste as shortcut" in File Explorer. That's the most standard way to create shortcut.

Damn you dudes are harsh. He has an awesome site. It's like XDA-dedicated to the X1. Give him a break?? He doesn't get paid for anything, and spends alot of time on that site; only to contribute to the X1 family.
And the comments of [email protected], come on?? No one here knows who some1 is if he just like posts 'xuanlong' or so, but he refers to one of the members of his site. I can tell you now that you wont find all of the contributors and be able to pm them if he just gives their nicknames?
Place yourself in his position before posting your 'comments'.
Have respect, keep your thoughts for yourself

very very debatable... um, actually, very not true
Jeese, some of you guys are like spoilt little kids,
All this guy has done is to take some of his time to make a site dedicated to the X1 and simply gives you links to other websites that have some cool programs on them. It is actually very useful for people who dont have the time to go searching through all of the XDA site.
XDA is a good site but can be difficult to find things relating to the X1 specifically through the search when you only have 5 mins.
You guys are just slating someones hard work for no reason, if you dont like it then don't go to it and dont comment on it.
RESPECT!!!

Ah wow dude, thanx. Someone actually understands and realises this dude's work. It's so much simpler to get around on his site.
I admit, nothing will beat XDA, but this site is dedicated to the X1, much more userfriendly and easier to find things.
All we need is more members and contributions, and that site might become the number 1 Xperia site.
Just take a look at his site. If you don't like it, your loss. And keep your comments for yourself. If you do like it, help out a bit!
Thanx for the GREAT site W I N D L E. Don't give up

As for you other lads who feel like being windle's knight in shining armor, you're behaving just as bad by "bashing" those who oppose his website. Not everyone has to like it, but they have just as much right to post they don't as windle has right to post about it in the first place. Basically, I'm pulling a "right back at ya" here - if you don't like their posts, ignore them!
Besides, he's still advertising his own site, with links to this site, on this site! Doesn't that strike you the least bit as odd?

Resco Contacts. It'll reskin the dialer, the call registry, your contacts and messaging.
PointUI Pro (unreleased).
Touch-IT v4.5 - The new Touchflo pretty much covers over the Winmo interface entirely.
There the ones i've used, others might have other solutions. Touch-IT is the best, but of dubious legality. PointUI will be great eventually, but it's still in early stages. Resco is OK, needs work but it's perfectly useable and better than the standard Windows Mobile stuff.

Gee, how could anyone find XDA unfriendly and unhelpful? I wonder... do you think... it could be posts like that?
Again, I love XDA, it's got good stuff, but all too often, on receives replies that are not friendly or helpful. My opinion is, if you dont have something worth while to contribute, dont bother replying, if it's just to tell them to search, or complain, etc.
And there's nothing wrong with giving a little credit where credit is due. I've seen plenty of links on other sites and blogs, crediting users at XDA in a similar manner.
Since you've already acknowledged some of XDA's perceived flaws, perhaps we could try to improve that image, rather than just taking shots at another site?

If somebody from xperiax1.net had helped me I would have put problem was solved by jimbobjoeorrob @ xperiax1.net and somebody had helped me on xda ect. just giving the credit to those that took the time to help me out rather than ***** about my posts.
I'm looking around the forum for a few days, and first I want to thank everyone who develops for droid and specifically for this site - its amazing.
A lot of the tutorials, ect. are in my opinion, a little bit complex, and vague, and it would be great to see dumb downed versions in the future, but in general just great.
So basically, on to business, I've rooted my xperia x8, downloaded a few apps for root only users, and the only thing left I want to do to my phone is to change the menus and notification bar from BLUE to a black shade, or even white would be fine. But if its white i'd have to change all the text to black and it'd probably be more complicated.
I haven't found a tutorial on here in the last few days i've looked, and I'm hoping for a link to something, or instructions. I've found a few things that I don't really understand and couldn't even tell if they were referring to the same things I wanted to do.
I hope someone can give me some advice, link to a matching thread, or step by step instructions.
Appreciated!
Ye, I want to know that too

Requests & solutions for S5:Wifi tether, USB mass storage, Spell Checker, dualboot...
Hi, I have a rooted Galaxy S5, and there are so many things that ruin the Android experience in recent Samsung models.
In particular, after search on the forum and on the internet I'm still looking for the solution to all these problems for my SM-G900F:
- Working WiFi Tether without errors
- Enable USB MASS STORAGE (http://www.xda-developers.com/android/usb-mass-storage-app-for-recent-samsung-devices/ don't work fine)
- Weather lockscreen without use of GPS
SOLVED:
- A kernel with dualboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447534 (but with @gokhanmoral was simpler!)
- ENABLE SPELL CHECKER: menu enabled, but RED UNDERLINE for errors run only in ART runtime! (??) See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2728177
- Remove S Finder and Quick connect from Notification Panel (This and many other problems solved on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799050)
- Change bootanimation (tired without success Boot Animations root) Have to use something like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369587. To create and modify http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189934
- Remove camera click (rename ALL four camera sound files)
- Change tone call keypad (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124988&page=2)
I think the problems are common to many people. I will update the post with the solutions.
Thank you

So you are asking someone to spend their afternoon searching for you? There are a lot of helpful people here and if you asked about some specific item no doubt someone would try to help. But to simply dump a laundry list and expect someone to fill it for you is..
If you did a forum search and read a few threads you could find any of those items yourself. So why don't you?

These are things that I still have not solved while sifting through the forum.
I was expecting some response from someone for the individual instances, even with possible links, not the entire list, of course.
Many people are simply just to lazy, and never read the forum rules.

Fair enough. But that is far from the impression that your first post paints. If you care to elaborate more about what you have tried, searched for and the results thereof i.e. show that you have been made a good effort, then I or someone else will help you with some or all of those.
For myself, I am a lot more interested in helping people who have tried to find information or fix issues themselves and /or describe their issues in detail (making it tremendously easier to troubleshoot issues).
Your first request - change bootanimation
The S5 boot animation can be changed with an app like [url="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.boot.animations&hl=en]Boot Animations[/url]. Or you can use a file explorer and change the files yourself. You need root in either case. Alternately you can search for a flashable zip that changes a specific boot animation for you.
Boot animation files:
/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg
/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg
/system/media/audio/ui/poweron.ogg
/system/media/shutdown.qmg
/system/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg

Sorry, is that now the Samsung have too many details as to fix and the list was much longer in the beginning.
I think it will be my last Samsung.
They are also very brief because of my bad English, but this is the best Android forum in the world and so I have to experiment with the language!
Thanks for the help and even in this case the app that I had tried to change the bootanimation (Boot Animations root) did not work.
.
For the camera sound, I had to rename all four camera sound files. Doing 1, 2 or 3 still got the sound.. FYI.
ps a silent camera is bliss.
