Database Users

creating folders inside of g1 menu

Is that possible? I love having a ton of apps but I hate how it takes me forever to look through all the icons for an app. So I wanna make folders for crap like widget icons, games, apps. Stuff like that. And if that isn't possible can I delete icons? Like there is no reason for widget icons. I know you can make folders on the desktop but that's not really what I'm looking for

Do you have root? You definitely need root.
You also need to have a compatible system image installed, one of cyanogen's for instance. His latest "unstable" images have this launcher as default, though the unstables are a little rough around the edges.
As for accessing the phone from a computer... read up on the "adb" command. It is part of the android SDK (software development kit).

Wallpapers

Anyone know where the wallpapers are stored on the phone.

I second this. I took an image and set it as wallpaper (not stored in the usual gallery app) and then later changed the wallpaper. Can I get the image back?

Where did you get the image from...was it one you downloaded or was it pre-installed on the phone.

If you're referring to the built-in "Samsung Wallpapers"... I can't find them either.
I'm betting their not just .jpgs sitting in a directory somewhere...
will keep looking

They should be in the stock tw launcher apk, haven't looked cause I don't have the apk anymore.

They are located within the launcher .apk files.

Found these

Go into camera app > take a picture > set image as the wallpaper. Now delete this image from your gallery/sd card ......the deleted image is still your wallpaper even after restarting the phone! Which means it must be stored somewhere else besides the sd card when being used as the background. I want to know where this is because I had an old image I once set as background that I changed away from, and I need the image back.

removed... wrong thread

Newbish question involving wallpaper directories

I've tried searching for this, but mainly come against various versions of "how do I set a wallpaper?" To avoid confusion, I'll just explain the situation.
A friend set an image from the Facebook app as my wallpaper. I like the photo, but just not as my wallpaper, so I wanted to copy and repurpose it. The issue is that I don't know where the image is saved.
I did find one page saying it was somewhere in /data, but that directory is empty for me, so I'm guessing that Samsung (stock EC05 rom) is using a different directory for saved background images. Any ideas where that might be?

i don't think it saves to the phone if you just set as wallpaper, it has to be downloaded..it kind of just copied it and pasted it to your background

You mean like saved in a clipboard? That seems unlikely since user wallpapers are persistent if you turn the phone off and back on, but then again I'm not too familiar with Android to know that it wouldn't do that. I'm still thinking it has to save somewhere ...

i duplicated exactly what you did, i set a pic from my facebook app as wallpaper instead of downloading and copied the image name so i could try and find it easier.. by using root explorer it searched every directory for that image coming up with 0 results, even tho its set as my wallpaper. i then took an image from my sd card and placed it in a data folder and it still appeared in my gallery. so if it is indeed in your phone you would still see it in gallery no matter the directory unless it is in a zipped folder which a pic from facebook wouldn't be... if you want to store that pic on your phone go to the facebook website in browser and make sure you download pic instead of set as wallpaper lol let me know if any of that confused you lol

No, I understood perfectly, thanks for looking into it! I don't even have a facebook account, my girlfriend was using my phone, but the picture itself is VGA resolution (or worse) scaled to fit, and makes a horrible background for an 800 verticle height.

Custom Watch Faces for Motoactv watch

To make a custom watch face you need to create your own images, an xml file to document the face layout, and a thumbnail image.
The main folder is in /system/clockfaces and stores your pngs and homeclock.xml file. You can either reuse pngs from other watch faces, edit existing ones, or create new ones from scratch.
The thumbnails are stored in /system/clockthumbnails/"color"thumbnails/"clockface_name".png. For instance /system/clockthumbnails/bluethumbnails/Disks.png
The homeclock.xml file has a predefined layout and all you need to do is fill it out. This is very much a trial and error process until you learn the x/y coordinate grid of the screen. I have attached a template xml file for you to use below. Remember to change the file format from txt to xml; I cant upload xml files. You can open the file in any text editor. The file has two main sections, a clock section and a live data section that displays your metrics. Leave settings blank if you do not want them enabled. I am still exploring all the possible settings so if you find any problems or discover any new commands please share.
When I get home I will zip up the watch faces I made and upload them. If you have any requests for custom faces just upload the pngs and I will make them for you.

This looks great so far I will keep checking back.

Subscribed to thead, very excited to see what you've got cooking here

Any chance you can post what you have done so far? Even just one new face would be amazing. I REALLY want to see some custom faces on this thing.

I have not forgotten about this, just distracted trying to get search to work and if possible, although highly unlikely, port google offline voice search from JB. It would be nice if I could just speak and not have to worry about using a tiny keyboard.

Dumb question but I can't view that folder when I plug my Motoactv in. (PC) what am I doing wrong? I'll def create some cool watch faces and post them here once I get this going.

Dont get your hopes up. People are having a hard enough time trying to port this to 4.0. Early feedback seems to suggest that it is really baked in to the core of the OS but we will see. If a working ICS port pops up I will give it a shot.

The files are on the watch itself, not on the sd card. You can either use a root browser and copy the files from /system to the sd card, use adb to pull the files, or just download a zipped rom and extracting. If you go to the motoactv wiki page and download ClearD's rom you can just unzip files and grab the watch faces from /system.

I followed the XML and successfully changed the clock face, but the font style still cannot be changed. In the XML it states <font> is the tag to describe the font style but I believed it's not. Any idea? Any help would be appreciated . Thx!

NEED CUSTOM WATCH FACES.... NEED
lol sorry bro, so excited. I'll take anything you have.

I need some more info. What are you trying to change (Hours, Minutes, Cal, Steps, etc)? What font are you using? Is it in your font library?

Is there anyway to take the files you are creating and put them on the "ClockFaces" folder that is on the same drive it saves the mp3s and everything?
My point is because I see there's this clockfaces folder and right now I don't want to root my watch. If it's possible to load from there, I'd ask you guys a template so I can make some more faces and distribute over here...
Thanks

I saw the folder too but never tried anything. I actually got rid of my macbook pro two weeks ago and my samsung series 9 does not arrive until tomorrow so its been hard for me to get anything done. Hopefully I will try to get something up tomorrow but no promises.

I'm messing with the clockfaces folder now and trying to put my own and add extra folders and I'm not getting anywhere
I'll mess with it a little more later today. But seems like they don't want to show up unfortunately :/

You need to have a clock face and a thumbnail for anything to show up.

I understand. I'm at work so I cant pull up the contents of the sd card. Those the clockfaces folder on the sd card have a subfolder for thumbnails?

The clockfaces folder on the sdcard is just that, a folder and nothing is inside it

I just quickly made this so dont expect it to be pretty. Unzip CMClock and put it in the clockfaces folder. The CMClock.png goes in /clockthumbnails/bluethumbnails. Try creating these subfolders on the sd card and let me know if it works.
You should set your watch to use the blue/ice theme. You may also have to enable 24hr time; I have not tested it with 12hr time.

[Nook HD] Nook Reader Application for CM10.1

Hello everybody.
I'm crazy with the reader that carry with original rom of Nook. But the stock rom is not acceptable for me.
Is there anyway to use these applications on my CM10.1 ?
Tks

If you're saying you really like the Nook reader on stock and would like to use it with CM10.1, just go to Google Play Store and install the Nook app, which includes the reader.

Yes, you can use the Android app version of the reader, but it does not have all the features that the stock version has. For instance, it cannot read interactive children's books.

Also, the settings vary from the stock reader to the app reader. Hardly a deal breaker though.

I just installed CM10 on my HD+. However, when I go to Gapps and try to install the nook reader app, I get :
**Your device isn't compatible with the versio**
Any idea how to get the nook reader app on CM10?

Get it somewhere else like 1mobile.com or other store. Or take it from another device. It runs fine.

leapinlar, my issue with the HD+ stock Nook reader app is that the control of font size is very limited - well, it's great for microscopic up through normal, but then goes from somewhat normal (third largest) to very large (second largest) to billboard text (largest). I need something between third and second largest. I saw your reference to "Go Read" but I'd prefer to stick with the Nook reader software for library syncing etc.
I tried to install Android Nook Reader from the Play store on the 2.1.0 software, but the system won't let me because (I guess) the name of the app is the same as the pre-loaded stock reader, and it says the app is "already loaded".
Do you know any way I can modify the built-in Nook apk to modify the list of available font sizes? Or, any way to modify the Android Nook apk to avoid the Nook name conflict? Not sure that just re-naming the apk file would work. Otherwise, I will move on to try CM10.1 as a dual boot using your file contributions.
Thanks.

Go to my HD/HD+ tips thread linked in my signature and read item 8. Particularly the second paragraph. That is my only suggestion.
