Hello...just downloaded this version of CHome Weather and it looks amazing...great job. There's only one problem, probably related to the 240x320 cpr file because, like I already read in the excalibur forum, there's an issue in 240x320 where the background looks a little odd and doesn't fit the area like it supposed to. But again amazing job...keep it up
EDIT: I've just used a version of the 240 x 320 cpr file already used in another version of your plugin and it works great now

I was just now testing the other layouts and there are some issues:
- I realized that everytime i change the layout, it doesn't matter the cpr 240x320 file i did put there because when the layout is changed the cpr file is kind of replaced by the one corresponding to the sellected layout.
- In the HTC and Iphone layout, it shows always an icon with a cross below the icon of the current weather, instead of showing the icon corresponding to the weather.
- In regular layout, the gold and silver backgrounds don't work well in 320 x 240.
- In the regular layout, in the 1 and 3 layouts, I can't see the hi and low temperature.

Yeah, you'll have problems with the portrait layouts.

Is it possible to fix the problem with portrait?? That is the last thing, that keeps me from donating.

I am so happy with this program. I worked as Organic M's test subject to get this working. I can't say I notice the problem you guys are talking about in regards to portrait mode.
This is what I see:

have the author, removed the files from the location... I am unable to get those...
Can someone help plzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
Thanks

There are 2 links in the main post at the top of this thread.
The first one is the weather program
The second one is all the files that need to be installed to /windows on your device

Davis,
From your post, it looks like that screen is in ladscape mode. Portrait is taller than wider, yours looks wider than it is taller.

Thanks a lot.. I found the same at the post. I was just eager to get Weather update on my VOX...So got carried away...
Thanks

Well if you put it that way, you'll definitely NOT get me to fix the portrait layouts. How about.. "here's a small donation and small request... I would really appreciate it if you could work on the portrait layouts(which is a major PITA) so this works properly on my phone".

Well then I Only wanted to know if it is possible to do it. But I can live without it. I can look outside to see the weather. You know I made a lot of stuff for the Vox...but I never received ANY donation!!!

works beatifull. got no issues with any layout (i'm using plain black background). excellent job!
the only question i have is if it is possible to manually edit order of appearance on home screen somehow as i could do it in standard homescreens in _home.xml file?

This is definitely NOT what I wanted to happen here. I worked with Organic M to get this app to work with our phone models and he was nice enough to help us out.
This is far from the thanks that he deserves, since the app is designed for an entirely different model.
Why so serious? can't we all just... get along?

I think the Chome Configurator will allow you to change the order of Slides on your Home Screen.

I have no idea what you are talking about....
???

As I said I only wanted to know if it is posible nothing more. And I just wanted to clarify that people here are not thankful! I really do apreciate his work. And the work of all the other coders and cookers! I hope you understand my point!

Does this plugin use necessarily the whole width of the screen, or is it possible to customize its size or layout (present conditions, 2-days forecasts, 5-days forecasts...)?
At present I'm using Fizz Weather with Orange plugin on my Wings, in order to show an analoug clock and weather forecasts next to it (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=89987&d=1212446950); will it be possible to make the same thing with Chome Weather?

So... is anyone still interested in making this work better with the Vox ? Maybe ask some of your ROM cookers to look at the policies in the registry and ask them remove the restricts that don't allow cab files to copy files to the \windows directory ? Then I wouldn't have to make two separate .cab files when I released a new version That, and if anybody wants to help test the portrait layouts, we can make this happen.

Yes it would be great to see the weather plugin fully working on the Vox...that thing about the restrictions I never understood that because after checking myself the registry many times, I saw that the restrictions were disabled and the thing about installing files in the windows folder still remains a problem...

[Q] Please help with older eyes

Hi guys, Could a ROM developer please create a ROM that uses fronts and icons that us middle aged+ people can read without going and finding a pair of glasses?
Cheers in advance

You could use a titanium rom (23xxx version) and turn the font size up (settings>screen>font size).
A default windows titanium rom will be much easier to read than Sense. Also make sure the start menu is 3 columns and not 4 or 5 like some cooks like. Theres a cab around here somewhere... Ill link to it if I come across it again.

Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a go.

[Q]Iida Infobar A01 Launcher - Iidia UI Virtual Touch - UPDATED 17.08.2011

Thread MOVED - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16971891#post16971891 in order to bring more attention to it. All futher updates will be posted there.
I would like to draw everyone attention to this beautiful launcher.
Is there anyone who would be able to dump and make it usable for other phones (something like Xperia Arc Launcher which was made to work with other phones)?
System dump link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?s90sy14xonxanut
Full phone dump link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HKUCBBE5
Deodexed apps link:
http://zen.itram.es/app_infobar_deodexed.zip
Changelog:
17.08.2011
-System dump link added (thanks to cache51)
-Full phone dump link added (thanks to zarboz)
-Deodexed apps link added (thanks to zenitraM)
-It seems that after deodexing launcher works without some features

Is this phone even out yet?
Either way, would love to at least try it (launcher, not the phone).

Looks like WP7 but better! Well at least I think so, would love to try this!

Ya, this info bar launcher is rili fantastic. Rili hope some experts cn develop this and we might be willing to be the beta testers..

I am getting the phone and hopefully will be in hand by the end of next week.
Any instruction on how to get the ROM dump is greatly appreciated.

WOW I wish we could phones like that

This is the launcher of my dreams! Me wantz it!!!
We need a vertical scrolling launcher like this which isn't a WP7 clone, since too much space gets wasted in WP7.
I don't know why all launcher developers are fascinated by horizontal scrolling launchers. I guess because iPhone does it that way. What's more natural is vertical continuos scrolling page with apps and widgets, just like on this launcher.
Me needz it now!!!

I`d love to use this launcher!
some japanese people on XDA? If so, please:
1)Buy phone
2)Dump
3)Upload
thanks
cache51 you can try this video tutorial but i am not sure it will work for any phone
http://androidforums.com/optimus-m-...ll-adb-drivers-pull-system-dump-included.html

I dont think the phone is out yet

this thread needs to be seen by some dev's! please port this to some of 'our' devices!
so impressed by this UI, those asian guys always come up with something extraordinary, incredible!

already out in JP but it seems never be rooted...

Link? if its less than 700 I ll consider buying it

I was able to get a white one and it arrived yesterday.
Couldn't find usb device driver for it to get a system dump.... adb says -- device not found....
It cannot be activated in US even though it supports both CDMA (800MHz) and GSM.

Finally found the driver on Sharp's Japanese website... stay tuned
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Here is the system dump.
http : // www .mediafire .com/?s90sy14xonxanut
It is created with the following procedures:
1. adb pull /system
2. compressed with 7zip.
I can also help with porting the UI if required. I am familiar with Linux system and Java.
Since I am new to the forum, I am not allowed to post links. inserted some space and see if I can get around this restriction

Thanks
Downloading right now.
let see what I can do
Seems hard to port to HDPI/MDPI Res anyway...
EDIT:
Dude, it seems that it have huge framework dependencies...

looking forward for porting our android phone
but it seems very difficult

huh, well, i was trying to find this info too, but i have the phone coming in the next few days, i guess i'm a day late, dollar short.

keep us updated!

I tried to activate on sprint and tmobile....no luck.
it would work on tmobile if the phone were unlocked, which it isn't.
i have been using it on wifi for a day and wow, the UI is really great.
there was a system dump on a few post back and someone tried to look at it, but with no luck I guess.
how do we get devs to look at this??

[REQ] HTC_IME mod for AOSP on qHD devices

I would love to offer any help I can to make this mod a reality. So far, I have gathered the following links that will surely be helpful in making this mod.
There are many users on the different individual rom threads, especially in senseless and aosp/cm9 roms, who are requesting to install HTC_IME (Touch Input), as it is the best input option around for some languages. I can attest firsthand to the fact that the Chinese handwriting input is by far the best handwriting input available for android (HTC is a Taiwanese company), so please don't suggest that everyone who wants htc_ime just go and download some other keyboard. They really did a good job with it, and people want to use it on AOSP!
The work done so far:
Jonas made the mod for gingerbread and devices with lower resolution screens. There is a lot of information about it here and links to downloads. It works on non-htc android devices.
http://www.linux-wizard.net/2011/02...c-ime-keyboard-under-a-non-htc-android-phone/
Original HTC_IME mod thread by jonas. The last page or so of the thread is full of posts of people saying please make this mod for ICS/qhd. So far, no one has done it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416
This is a HTC_CIME mod for qvga screens. You can see in the screens that it works on MIUI and with multi-language support. This seems like a very good lead, as it may possibly work on our device if scaled up!
http://www.miui.com/thread-109295-1-1.html
A way to get touch input back into virtuous inqusition rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462460&highlight=with+libs
And finally, from our very own device theme forum, there is of course the package done by MichaelM. I think this is going to be our best shot at getting this working in aosp roms. I triead flashing the file "with libs" (should include multi-lang) on Vorbeth's rom, but it just continuously FCs with u select touch input (but touch input does show up!).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384640
As I said, I am willing to learn as much as I need to to help make this mod, I just need someone with a bit more experience than me to offer some help! Can someone please give even a brief overview of how to do this. Do we need to run logcats to find out lib dependencies? I'm sure the whole process can't be all that difficult (well, one can hope!).
Thank you in advance, sensation community!
p.s. if I forgot to give credit to anyone else who has done work on htc_ime mod please forgive me. Post the info in this thread if you find it so we can get this going!

2 things, 1, I would love to see this mod happen, I've gotten used to the ics keyboard but would still love the HTC one. 2, if possible, the latest HTC_IME keyboard would be best in my opinion because I love the swipe gestures that you can turn on and off without actually using the Swype keyboard because the Swype keyboard isn't something I am entirely fond of anymore

latest is usually best! sounds good to me.

I would love to see that... I am starting to like CM9, but the keyboard just isn't good enough no matter which one I try... I will try gimpsta.com to create one and hopefully will have it working

good luck to you, sir!

BUMP! I really wanna see this happen too! But maybe we are looking at it from the wrong angle? I'm no dev, not in the slightest, but the HTC_IME that comes on the stock sensation is already qHD formatted. Would it be possible/easier to port jonasl's mods to the newer HTC_IME rather than trying to scale up the old one and fix it to run on ICS?

a MOD for HTC IME on QHD resolution is out.
Now all we need to do is to put CIME back to it.

[Q] Stock Email App after increased dpi

Guys, I am a novice here and keep reading the posts on XDA frequently but posting a query first time.
I have installed pimp my ROM on my Galaxy R and changed the screen density which made me to utilize the real estate on my screen efficiently. The standard UI never helped me so opted for GO launcher and its working like a charm now inspite of a few delays.
The problem I am facing now is with the stock Email app now. Its not utilizing the new screen size and is cramped in a portion of it.
Can someone here help me to find out a way out or a tweak to make use of it. I know there are third party applications available which may help me but I really want to stick to the default app.
I have attached the screenshot which will help to understand the problem.
Thanks a lot!

I don't think it has layouts for another size and DPI, so this cannot be easily fixed.

Yes, But When you use PimpMyRom then you can save a zip file for reverting back as Update.zip.
BTW, as we always say, do have backup first while applying such changes in mobile.
