Some thoughts.. - T-Mobile LG G2x

This has been on my mind for a little while now and I've been waiting for either Google or CM team to make it happen but...So anw have anyone ever thought that it would be awesome if we can have folders within folders ? Sure the idea of creating folders to store a specific category of apps has been around across multiple mobile OS platforms, but personally I haven't seen one that would let us users create one or more folders inside that initially created folder. It would be great if CM team, or heck Google can put this into Android. We would be another step ahead of iOCrap.

The reason they didn't is because how many folders within fillers would you want? Put too many and it overflows the system. Probably the reason why it isn't there yet. A lack of demand is another possible reason. It isn't as low level as file system, which has this. This would be running in java vm then in an app.

Folders within folders is something programmers have been able to do since DOS. Probably before that. There is NO technical reason why it would be impossible.

I did not say it was impossible. I stated some possible reasons why it has not been implemented. This "folder" is on a higher application level than it is on a file system. Therefore out would take more resources, albeit probably not a whole lot.

I don't even use folders. Just hide ones you don't use.

Well, 2 dimensional folders should be enough (only one or more folders within the initially created folder is allowed). Thanks for your reply though

Yes, please search a bit even on google to read about the difference.
Basically put the Android OS loads up system apps in two stages. Odex files and APK's. Part of the information for the app is stored in the ODEX file and part in the APK.
This allows the OS to pre-load stuff if you will. Deodexing is putting/compiling the set of apps and framework stuff so that each one is back into a single file instead of two.
You could I guess in theory theme in the parts but that's really complex because you don't know whats in what. Which is why putting everything back into one file makes it easy to theme, customize etc.
Hope that helps you out. This is a freebie, search next time xD you won't be a noob that way.

I'd say no.
As far as I know you need a kernel that allows you to step over 1ghz and this is most likely stock kernel since we don't have source for it...

Tegrak in the market will oc the stock rom and kernel. Free version I think gets up to 1.3ghz
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
It was removed due to their being several better messaging apps on the market.
To answer the overclock question until source for the kernel is released the onlyway to overclock is to use tegrak.
It is awesome to know I am jut shy of 150 downloads after 1.5 days.thanks for downloading my rom and hopefully more of you will post you thoughts.

Couple of things, if you put in addons like zedge and ADW plese put them in /data/apps not /system/apps, since this makes it a pain to uninstall/remove.
secondly, include a file manager, i hate having to install a file manager to install my file manager. 3rd include the Email.apk, i dont understand this latest trend towards removing that, it's rather important and fair amount of us use exchange, again it's a pain to put back and no i don't want to use the other **** email programs from the market

I will highly consider this however i will most likely optimize the pngs to make it smaller and it will probably end up on the sd card for quick removal by those whome that don't want to use it and prefer one from the market.I will however suggest to you if you have not already try k9 mail it is by far the best email app on the market and provides all the functionality plus customization options.
To Answer your question on the file manager i am currently working through and evaluating a few which i consider the best and will be releasing one with version 2.0 which will be optimized and then included in the rom.
The last thing you brought up was the placement of the included app's.I will also in version 2.0 happily move those to the sd card.
Thank you for your suggestions, and i hope you are enjoying my rom regardless of these slight inconveniences you have experienced.

Development for IHR Version 2 will be starting tonight.please let me know if their are any features you would like to see in version 2.I will look at all suggestions.

I am happy to say that thus far IHR has been downloaded 234 times.Thank you for everybody that has chosen my rom and i hope version 2 does not dissapoint.

I doubt anyone's done that, at least so far.
The general idea is to group together apps that have a common theme, etc.
I'm just poking harmless fun, but do you have more than 16 apps of the same type or function?

I do. I was annoyed at this limitation earlier today when I tried to group games for my 3yr old together.
this was the very reason why I downloaded the source. One would think enabling this would be easy. Someone tell me how to compile only the launcher. Compiling the entire source takes me over 5 hours.

Step 1: Take a hammer & smash your Android Device.
Step 2: On your PC desktop, right click & choose make a new folder, store as many "infinit" aka infinite apps as you wish.
WHY would you have more than 16 apps that have the same function? Kind of redundant/retarded don't you think???

Solution:
Use the first 2 dock spaces for 16 games a piece, then use the other two spaces for your own stuff.
I'm sure this will come in time, or buy your kid a Nintendo DS...

You guys sure you're in the right forum? The "suck it up and deal with it" attitude belongs in the iOS forums, this is Android. In Android we don't ask "why?" but "why not?"
BTW: An actual temporary fix to the problem is to use Folder Organizer.
You could also use simi folder temporarily. Free in the market. I am sure there are other alternatives, too.

Its for his kid. And diferrent people have different needs. You should take that hammer and smash your own head.

To build the Launcher from source, use: make Launcher2 to build the generic Launcher. To build it for a specific device (i.e. to incorporate device-specific settings and overlays), you should run lunch and select your device before running make. The path to locate the APK will be specified on the last line.
I've never tried to build the Launcher without precompiling the rest of the source prior to, so I don't know if it needs to build some additional components beforehand, which would add some more time for the initial build, but far less than doing the whole system. Make sure to sign your APK to match the rest of your system before pushing.
Hope that helps.
Edit:
The maximum number of folder items is defined by: res/values/config.xml (for those building from source) or res/values/integers.xml (if decompiling) in Launcher2.apk. The integer values for folder_max_count_x, folder_max_count_y, and folder_max_num_items define the maximum number of items permitted in the folder, where the value defined in x multiplied by y equals the value in max_num_items.
I modified the y and max_num_items values and I was able to include more than the default 16 icons, but...
The folder does not include scrolling capability, so once the number of items exceeds the available screen space, they are cut off. If it's possible to incorporate scrolling into folders, we're good to go, but that's beyond my capacity...

there wouldn't be any integration at the code level. If I understand the OP correctly, all he's gonna do is open the compressed rom with something like 7zip and replace stock apps with go apps.
If that's what you're planning on doing, a word of warning, you might get a lot of FC's at startup, I tried doing that on an older device and that's what happened.
Good luck.
P.S. I also use GoLauncher, GoNotifications, GoBackup, GoCalander, GoKeyboard, and GoWeather

I don't know what that is but like what I had in mind was a app that has categories etc for apps, and it would be like for root stuff, like root apps or apps from people on here and other forums, to kinda localize everything into a easy to navigate spot so you don't have to search a huge forum for a download to someone's app or have to search play store to find the right root apps, because to me finding root apps on play store can be a pain.
But lime I said its really just a idea and it would be a little difficult to get going and make actually happen.
Also a app where its like daily/weekly updates about peoples stuff, but drippler kinda does that.

I might make this app this weekend. The UI would probably be terrible though. If I made this, it would have a ROMs section, tweaks section (mods to system and stuff), an apps section (root apps only), and an App Developers section (apps that started on XDA or another Android Forum, or just apps that I think are cool but are not on the play store. Once I know that the app works and can successfully download and install apps, I will work on the UI to look like the Play Store, except with the Holo Blue accent instead of the green one. It would be my first app, too. I'm also learning Android Development by Team Treehouse, and they show how you can make an app access the internet and pull things from it (which is saving the apk, and then installing).

u would need permission from xda and it's better that they make it.
xda devs don't only make root apps also having roms would be expensive and unnecessary because they'll have to handle a boatload of downloads and space to store all the roms when file-sharing sites work just fine what would be better is u subscribe to a Rom and get updates and links etc from there...
Anyways
Where did u start learning?

I started learning 2 months ago, and where I started learning was at my school. I can stay in my schools library after school for 2 and a half hours and that's when I learn android development. I have Eclipse and the Android Emulator working fine on the computers over there (with permission of course). I found team treehouse when watching a tech video on YouTube, it was an ad and I clicked on it.
