[Keyboard] Droid Mutlitouch for 2.2/Froyo

Thought I'd relay this - tested and working perfectly on CM6 nightly
Update: Added fix-4 from invisiblek
Download/flash zip through recovery
All credit goes to invisiblek
Original topic: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7644384

Working on stock 2.2 evo as well

Don't forget to push in the lib file if it FCs.
(Check OP)

Screenshots sure would be nice....hint, hint...

THANK YOU!!! It has been killing me not having this keyboard. I really don't like the stock, and swype is okay, but I can really cook in this one!
Cheers
J

keeps telling me the file is read only ( cm6 8-13 nightly )

totally awesome
this keyboard makes it much more comfortable to type. Swype was cool for a bit but still wasn't as natural as this keyboard is.
One thing (and i know this isn't your fault) in portrait mode, the spacebar is sooo tiny, and hard to hit :/ oh well for fat fingers
Thanks for the great work! More people should see this.

Is it possible to get an apk file to install?

screenshots would be kind!

Here's a signed flashable zip I made for this. Tested on an OTA 2.2 rooted deodexed rom.

Just rename d2keyboard-signed-ampfix.apk.zip to d2keyboard-signed-ampfix.apk

Hey sporkman, you have to remount from adb.
adb remount
this will mount the system partition as RW, not RO
gl

Just use my flashable zip. No messing with adb or renaming or anything.
1.) Flash through recovery, reboot
2.) Activate it like normal: Go into any text field, long press on the text field, select input method and select Multitouch.
3.) Have yourself a beer for that real hard work. You deserve it

Nice work OP...thanks for the share!

How to install?
Hi, thanks for fixing this!
How do I install it? the other multi-touch apk file would just install, when I click on, this one if opening sub folders and system file.
Thanks again

Unknownforce, You are the ************* man.

You have to change the .apk.zip to .apk.

Thanks but help me out here, I am new to Android, what does this mean?

It means...you most likely haven't rooted...
So for you, I'd say, download the d2keyboard-signed-ampfix.apk.zip file, change the extension to .apk, put the .apk on your sd card and install like a regular .apk.

[BOOT ANIMATION] Halo Reach - Auntie Dot

Thought I would share this with the community. I pulled these frames from Halo Reach and put them into a boot animation. The bootanimation.zip file is not something you can flash. I haven't learned how to do that yet. BUT you can use this with BootAnimationChangerTrial. You just put this zip file into the backupbootanimation folder and then inside the app do "Install backup boot animation". And If anyone could make some type of Live wallpaper out of this, I would probably crap my pants.
It is 480x800. It looks pretty good on my NexusOne. I should say this is one of the first boot animations I've done. So I apologize for the huge file size, I think its because it uses the whole screen.
Download Auntie Dot Boot Animation

HOLYY CRAP!!! Really nice!

Simply FANTASTIC.

It's awesome! To get the file size down, you could resize each frame to a lower resolution. I do mine for N1 at 200x333 and they look just as good tbh. Keep up the good work!

Very nice! I plan to make a live wallpaper of Auntie Dot once im done with my current project. Should go well with this when done.

Here ya go...I ran it through a quick optimizer. It's just a quick one, probably could do better if you wanted to spend some time with it, but it shrank around 3MB.
And I put it in an update.zip format that will place the file in /data/local/ so rom updates won't erase it unless you wipe.
Looks cool!
update-bootanimation.zip

how does the bigger file size affect the animation? Does it run smoother?

It can help for sure, but I doubt that little bit I did would help much. The biggest advantage is to save space, although that's not as important putting it in the data folder. Some folks like to put it in the /system/media/ folder and space there is at a premium.

any chance of this becoming a live wallpaper?

there are some crappy ones on the market right now, but they suck bad.
Once i get some free time i will be making a true lwp out of this. ie random animation cycles, reacts to phone events ect.

Sorry, I had tossed this file from my dropbox a while back. I'll download the original and optimize it again.
<edit>
I actually took a closer look at this (something I didn't do earlier) and there were some additional ways to improve this besides image optimization. Also, I made it look more like the animation in the op. The original bootanimation file was over 12 MB, this one is only 815 kilobytes
I've packaged it up in an update style type zip that you flash in recovery. This will install it to /data/local. If you need/want it somewhere else (/system/customize for instance) then just extract the bootanimation.zip file from the download and push it where ever you need.
HaloReach-bootanimation-signed.zip

Thanks pendo!
That's awesome! Worked perfectly on my Nexus One running CM7 RC2.

I'm going to use this in my Honeycomb based theme for the dx. i'll give credit of course
looks amazing thanks for this!

[TUTORIAL] User-Friendly Custom Lock-Rings for Sense 3.0 (EVO 4G)

After going through many of the different lock ring tutorials, I have noticed that they all have something in common: They are too user intensive and prone to user-error. Sure, once you have it down, it's easy. But it can be daunting to start out.
All I have done here is make it EXTREMELY user friendly.
No more copying and pasting into ZIPs and APKs!!
No more fishing around the Templates tree in M10 Tools!!!
Simply run the BATCH file, get a cup of coffee, and then flash!
Here are the detailed instructions... (also in the Read-Me)
0. Make sure you have installed Microsoft .net 4 framework on your machine.
http://www.microsoft.com/net
1. Unpack User_Friendly_Lock_Screen_Kit_v1.04.zip (Where you put the file does not matter anymore!!!! For example purposes, I will use C:\Lock_Ring_Kit)
2. Copy your image into C:\Lock_Ring_Kit and name it LockRing.png
Image requirements:
a. Must be a PNG file
b. Image must be 271 x 270 pixels (If it is not the right size, it will come out looking funny (270x271 WILL NOT WORK)
c. The image must be rotated 180 degrees and reflected horizontally.
3. Double-click "LockRingCreator.bat" and let it do its thing.
4. Flashable.zip was just created for you. Rename it whatever you wish.
5. Copy it to the root of your SD card, boot into recovery, and flash
The BATCH file cleans up after itself. You don't have to go through and delete any of the old files. If you want to make another one, just change out the PNG and run it again. My desktop is pretty old, and the BATCH takes about 2 minutes to run.
I have only tested this on Synergy, but I assume that it will work on similar ROMs. I also believe that it will work on the Thunderbolt (can someone confirm that?)
All files are included in the ZIP.
User_Friendly_Lock_Ring_Kit_v1.05.zip
Error Reporting
This is a work in progress. If you have an issue, please post it on the thread. Also, please copy and paste the output from the command prompt so we can get to the bottom of it. (Right click on command prompt, Select All, the then press ENTER. It is now ready to paste.)
Acknowledgments:
jmaher1023 - I used his process as a template. All that my BATCH file does is automate his process
Flemmard and DiamondBack2010- I have no idea what M10 Tools does or how much trouble they had to go through to make it, but I do know that it is the heart and soul of this whole operation.
Confirmed ROMS
Gingeritis3d
Synergy RLS 1
InCompatible ROMS
Kinged Shooter RLS 2.3

I'll try this out, thanks alot dude.

One thing you didn't mention is that the images still need to be 271 X 270 or they won't look right. Other than that this works on Gingeritis3d. (And if I want to say I was the one to create the lock ring I might edit the script) lol. Very good work though man. Very useful tool. Have you been able to find where the images are located for the Amazing sense skin? I haven't found those yet and want to use that semi transparent tool bar at the bottom but dont want to use a different launcher

somehow i cant get it to work ive followed every step but when i run the
"LockRingCreator.bat" it just goes into cmd really fast and nothing happens

When it is working properly, after you run the BATCH file you should see a command window running various commands for a little while.

did you make sure the file was named LockRing and was a png format? Something else to consider is that if you named a png image lockring.png then when it looks for the file it will see lockring.png.png so make sure it is a png format image but only name it LockRing.Hope this helps

Thanks brudda. I was only kidding about renaming the script. I knew where to find it. I can run a couple other ROMS if you want. I got nothing better to do tonight. Let me know which ones you want to add to your list and i'll do a couple.

just downloaded will test in a minute on mik3d beta1, but in the read me file, no sizes for pic you intend to use (just a heads up).

Forgot to mention I am running Gingeritis 3D Beta VIII. And I do have .net 4 installed. Maybe thats why i didn't have any issues. Also I didn't even read the read me file. oops.

dropbox has been the easiest, havent hit a limit yet, except storage space..... which i upgraded to eliminate that problem, all the others i have tried i cant upload anything because they limit file sizes that you can upload, where as dropbox just syncs with your desktop, takes awhile but works.

just tried it to make a flashable zip and it did the same thing as other guy, flashed the cmd prompt super quick, no zip created.....
edit:
wait i just checked windows update and it has 2 updates for net framework 4 lol

nice i was using the copy paste way. i use one like this for the 3d(that was made by triscuit1983.

still didnt work for me, oh well back to m10 editor... thanx anyways

Make sure that you unzip the files to C:\Lock_Ring_Kit. When I install them somewhere else ("C:\Lock_Ring_Kit______"), I get the same error you do. However, the BATCH file did what it was supposed to do. Since C:\Lock_Ring_Kit did not exist, it created it, and there is a "Working" folder as well as a "Flashable.zip" there. But, since the original files were not in the right place, it is useless.
When the command prompt just flashes, what that means is that M10Tools are not having a chance to run. The only explanation I have for that as of right now is that the files are not in the right location. Also make sure that you named the image LockRing.png.
I'll see about making the batch file spit out an error code, but it might be a few days before I can get around to it. I'll keep yall posted.

Ice Cream Sandwhich Goodies from SDK! Roboto Font and /system partition!

Hey guys, I downloaded the new SDK and opened up the ICS system.img. I made a .zip for the Roboto font and I am uploading the entire /system partition as we speak.
Just so you know, the current smali/baksmali doesn't work. Even tried the modified baksmali for HC, so until these tools are updated, these apps can't be deodexed.
Here is the Roboto font - http://bit.ly/nKvZlh

You can't install it like that. It's a /system app. You have to push the .apk and the corresponding .odex file to /system/app, chmod 644, and possibly reboot and prepare for a ton of FCs.

Changing System Fonts (easy way)

I've seen posts on this topic, but nothing in one place.
This will help you to just switch out the basic overall system fonts (without any apps, aside from root explorer)...
0. (optional) using root explorer, navigate to /system/fonts and copy the current Clockopia.ttf, DroidSans-Bold.ttf, and DroidSans.ttf files to your sd card for safe-keeping (note that if you are on any custom roms, these are most likely not the actual font names - if you're curious, copy it to your computer and preview the .ttf file or just hold your cursor over the font and it should tell you the actual font name)
1. get the .ttf files that you want (maybe from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194202 <-- these are font packs with a lot more stuff in there than you need - just unzip and grab the three .ttf files only) you really only need to grab the unique files - usually clockopia and droidsans are the exact same file with different names, and sometimes all three are the same when there is no actual bold type of a specific font)
2. put the .ttf files on your sd card (i have a folder with different fonts on my sd, i named the .ttf files the actual font name to keep everything straight, and copy and rename when i want to switch fonts)
3. using root explorer, copy the 3 .ttf files (or only the unique files and make additional copies as needed) to your /system folder - make sure to mount r/w first (we need to make a layover here so we can change the permissions)
4. rename the files (you could do the renaming at any stage really, just sometime before you put them in the /system/fonts folder) - change the regular font types to Clockopia and DroidSans, and the bold font type to DroidSans-Bold (that's what your system is looking for when calling fonts)
5. change permissions of the 3 files to chmod 644 (see attached pic)
6. multi-select the 3 files and MOVE (do not copy) to the /system/fonts folder. it will ask you if you want to overwrite, check the box to do it for all files, and hit ok.
7. exit. reboot. done. cheers!

No prob. I learned quick after taking a misstep trying to copy them to the fonts folder w/ no cwm on boot - fc's, followed by a boot loop, followed by rsd lite... you know where this goes... anyway, i thought i'd share..
...Still not sure what all the other fonts in there do.. heck, i got no idea what the clockopia font is even for. I've changed it to different fonts separately, and notice no difference anywhere... you probably don't need to even change it. Someone else please feel free to post if you can add to the topic

Guys, I just did what I didn't suppose to and ended up in bootloop during font change! I know, am a stupid noob...
But, can't get the phone to CWM either. What should I do?
Running Victory rom if that helps. Thank you very much for the responses.
EDIT: nevermind, now I know what to do. Sorry for trolling, moderators can now delete my stupid post...

Don't beat yourself up my brother.... We've all been there.
Some, like me, more than others. That's the way I learned.
ATRIX 2 / Victory Rom

Yup - been there. And, learned from it..
Try and keep that CWM on Boot installed if you're messing around, and a backup on your sd card to restore if you start looping..

Thanks for your support guys, you're awesome
The thing is that i did have CWM on boot installed, and I did make all important backups. I just couldn't get anywhere but in regular fastboot mode only...
Anyway, RSDLite will do the thing I hope...
Thanks again boys, cheers from OZ

Wow.. I forgot about this thread!
Anyway, you would need you to find the fonts from cm7 and move those as described above.
I am not familiar with CM roms, but I assume the fonts are in the same /system/fonts folder - grab them from a CM7 rom and follow the steps..
Note: there are also apps that change system fonts (like Font Changer) - but I prefer to do things manually..

Thanks! That is a good read... and, so it looks like you could possibly still use the method in my OP, but you need to replace the four Roboto font files instead of the DroidSans ones.. I'll give it a try sometime when I get back on ICS and update the OP accordingly.
