Anybody have any ideas?
Hey trib,
How about broadening your reach by using that creative, artistic flair to make themes or skins for QVGA devices? It may be fun and if you can find a niche in that market you can work your way into the other screen sizes as well. You have good roms already, you could create different new looks to keep them fresh since they are stable enough to use over long periods without re-flashing.
Another idea, just create icon sets for devices. Any creative idea like these could land you a lot of compliments, or better yet, donations, from those that like to freshen up their phone a bit without having to re-flash. On that note, have you figured out a way to skin the WP7 blocks that open the hubs? I have seen many screen shots, real and fake, that show a background image within the weather, calendar, etc, blocks on the main screen. I am still using your Trib7 rom and I really don't mind the HTC green that I have going now but was curious if you or another developer has figured out a way to alter the hub look without an additional 20 lines of code to do so.
Anyway, glad to see your new job isn't keeping you from xda. Good luck with whatever you decide to create.
nice topic, i got it

When I have some time, I think this sounds like a great idea. Thanks.
Good Day.
I'm hoping to get a reply out of this since i'm having a bit of an issue and my research thus far has been unfruitful.
I've been looking around XDA and haven't really found an answer....
The question is: Is it possible to disable event logging in Android.
Here is some background... I'm a relatively new android user and have been testing lots of ROMS and I have settled on the Froyo series of ROMS but there is a problem. Most of these Froyo Roms have some sort of memory leak or so I thought at first. I started doing some digging and eventually discovered this directory: Data/System/Dropbox. I realized that there were data files being created for every single event that takes place when you use the phone. I understand that its used for debugging purposes but I also realized that if left unchecked it would slowly fill up my phone storage. Also, for whatever reason, it only seems to exist in these Froyo Roms that I have used.
So is there a way to turn Android's event logging off.
I'm big on research and I very rarely ask questions as I believe in do the do when it comes to research but i've been pretty hard pressed to find out anything on the subject. The guys over at stack overflow are a bit over my head so i'm taking a shot here. I do have a programming background but, not java based...
Anyway, its a shot in the dark.... my life surely won't end but i'm hoping for a helpful response..
Thanks in advance guys...
So I have thought about this for a long time. There are some great custom roms/mods/hacks out there. But even they can lack features or have features you don't want.
I mean like choosing individual options that show up in the settings menu, etc...
Isn't it possible to have some source code that contains all the features of all the roms, and have an application that you use to design your own custom version of that rom. Say I want to fix my homescreen to have 4 screens and each screen to have its own background image... If we could just hardwire that capability into the OS via a custom designer/compiler off the source code, and flash it to the phone, that would be awesome...
Maybe that is asking a bit too much, but it seems possible. Although I am on the lower end of the spectrum when it comes to coding and modding, so I may just have no idea what I'm talking about. Maybe there are others out there who have thought of this, or are working on it, or maybe it already exists, but anyway... Just an idea...
Kinda hard with all these different devices and UIs, making compatibility an issue.
Ummm there is an app that lets you have different wallpapers for each home screen
ya... I mean it would have to be restricted to certain devices or something... but i dunno... just a thought.
If only every phone company only released 1 or 2 models.

I completely understand what you are trying to achieve over here. But there are various factors in place. You are trying to make a kitchen more advance so we can fully customize it but it is not possible with the number of device that are out there and the number of processors. Its not impossible but quite hard to achieve
I am very pleased with the thought and don’t feel like adding anything in it. It a perfect answer.

Which answer.....?
Android with a WebOS UI=Better than Sense.
that's a good idea actually.
Well, I mean, start with one phone model on a specific carrier that is very popular among developers and general users. If a large number of people who work on mods/roms and other customizations got together... then they could probably whip up something.
But, yeah... doing it for a large number of phones would be very difficult...
but starting off simply, could slowly add in features, or a select your phone and carrier type thing...
In other words, an xda phone. Well gluck rounding up the devs to a particular phone.
$1 gets you a reply
Great
Thank you for your work

So everyone should get an HD2?
that's a good idea actually.
I really would like to see a newer HD2 like device. I mean like the phone that runs everything. but those come with time they aren't made that way
It's not impossible. I mean it would take a lot of time to complete but you could do it device by device. First you achieve the idea within 1 device. Combine all the roms and put features together and maybe if you add a UI to the application End Users can pick the features they want and tailor their own rom. Developers instead of updating roms they'd add new features to the application. After that you could combine phone's from the same company. Like the Sony X10 & X8. They're not that different and porting won't too hard. And then eventually you get to a General app. Some phones have some features other don't but it'd be just like Market. Some apps are compatible with your phone some aren't. It's a good idea~

What about a GUI rom "cooker"? Devs build their standard roms, but let the end users crunch them through a GUI that lets the users filter what little things they want or dont want to keep in the rom. GUI then repackages it and then we flash it.

Ya, thats pretty much what i mean. So you can choose what options show up in the settings menu, completely customize the power/lock button menu and actions, etc...it seems like it should be possible. Just take a highly customized rom and create an intetface to remove features and compile it. It could all be done in the cloud and notify you when its ready for dl.
Hi,
I'm not allowed to ask questions in the general Android section yet, but I have a fairly general question:
I've never really used the 'normal' emoticons when texting, usually opting for x), ^_^, >_<, etc
On the stock S1 Android ROM, the keyboard has built in smileys, but there a huge waste of space to me, and the new three-tier layout really kills typing some of the one's I like out. Is there any way to exchange the smiles for my own?
And while I'm asking the impossible of consumer software, is there a way to get rid of the stupid pictures that replace text emoticons? It bugs me when that happens, because the connotation is totally screwed up, and it just makes texting skillfully more difficult.
Hello all. I have came here in the quest in to seek out anyone that is willing to help me. As I wish to find out how to install a custom rom.(as I look everywhere and everyone is doing it(but I would like to stick to standard Samsung Galaxy Note 3 style as possible) I for some reason am unable to find the meaning for several words. I would like some assistance in trying to find out what these words mean. Most of the words that I do not know what they mean are: Nandroid, Dedoxed/Odexed, Aroma.
I did a little bit of looking around on Google Play store and found some interesting lock screens from X-Andev. The 2 that I have downloaded and played around with are. Galaxy Locker & LG Optimus Lockscreen. I was wondering/hoping that someone could point me to the place that I could find a rom or find a way to import these unlock styles into my Note 3's native settings. (in a custom rom of course)
Thank you for taking time out of your busy day's in reading this and helping me.
