UC Setup provisioning question

Hi there,
I'm trying to set-up a shortcuts.xml which rearranges the startmenu icons the way I want them. This is what I have so far:
shortcuts.xml:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="FileOperation">
<characteristic type="%CE11%\GPS\Nav4All.lnk">
<characteristic type="Move">
<parm name="Source" value="%CE17%\Nav4All.lnk" translation="install"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="%CE11%\Internet\MySpace.lnk">
<characteristic type="Move">
<parm name="Source" value="%CE17%\MySpace.lnk" translation="install" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="%CE11%\Tools\Shake And Save.lnk">
<characteristic type="Move">
<parm name="Source" value="%CE17%\Shake And Save.lnk" translation="install" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="%CE17%\Messenger.lnk" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Delete">
<parm name="ForceDelete" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="%CE17%\Windows Live.lnk" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Delete">
<parm name="ForceDelete" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
UC Setup itself is working fine for other xml files but not for this one. The shutcuts are simply not moved/deleted.
Can any of you guys/girlz help me out?

I found the solution myself. Here's the correct xml file:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="FileOperation">
<characteristic type="%CE11%\GPS" translation="install">
<characteristic type="MakeDir" />
<characteristic type="Nav4All.lnk" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Move">
<parm name="Source" value="%CE11%\Nav4All.lnk" translation="install" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="%CE11%\Internet" translation="install">
<characteristic type="MakeDir" />
<characteristic type="Myspace.lnk" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Move">

[Dev] Improve cam video quality by etc/media_profiles ... is it possible?

Hi, I'm not sure about it but today I'm looking into this file
etc/media_profiles.xml
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that includes (I think) settings for camera.
for example, from the xml
-<CamcorderProfiles cameraId="0"> -<EncoderProfile duration="60" fileFormat="mp4" quality="high"> <Video frameRate="30" height="720" width="1280" bitRate="10000000" codec="h264"/> <Audio bitRate="96000" codec="aac" channels="1" sampleRate="16000"/> </EncoderProfile> -<EncoderProfile duration="30" fileFormat="3gp" quality="low"> <Video frameRate="30" height="144" width="176" bitRate="256000" codec="h264"/> <Audio bitRate="12200" codec="amrnb" channels="1" sampleRate="8000"/> </EncoderProfile> <ImageEncoding quality="90"/> <ImageEncoding quality="80"/> <ImageEncoding quality="70"/> <ImageDecoding memCap="20000000"/> </CamcorderProfiles>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
as you can read, there are info about bitrate and image quality
Now, I saw that in Sensation mod, the developer had modded this file too, I think that we can improve easely the image quality and bitrate
is it true?
for example a possible mod
-<CamcorderProfiles cameraId="0"> -<EncoderProfile duration="60" fileFormat="mp4" quality="high"> <Video frameRate="30" height="720" width="1280" bitRate="15000000" codec="h264"/> <Audio bitRate="128000" codec="aac" channels="1" sampleRate="16000"/> </EncoderProfile> -<EncoderProfile duration="30" fileFormat="3gp" quality="low"> <Video frameRate="30" height="144" width="176" bitRate="256000" codec="h264"/> <Audio bitRate="12200" codec="amrnb" channels="1" sampleRate="8000"/> </EncoderProfile> <ImageEncoding quality="100"/> <ImageEncoding quality="100"/> <ImageEncoding quality="100"/> <ImageDecoding memCap="20000000"/> </CamcorderProfiles>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
has someone info about it?
EDIT It works !
ok guys
I recorded 2 videos, equal subject, equal light, equal time
with the following xml (bitrate video 12000000, bitrate audio 128000, image quality 100%) I can see the following differences
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The quality improve is visible easy.

There is a second version that is 18000000 as video bitrate, 256000 audio bitrate and 96000 sample rate. Image Encoding quality 100 100 100. This isn't tested by me yet, I know (I tried) that Encoding quality always 100 works, but I don't know about bitrate...
Flash through ES File Manager (Root Mode + w) or other file manager like it...
EDIT UPDATE 2

Looks pretty good. Will test that later

Very interesting, but I can't test it. I'm on CM9

i did simple text editing and audio setting are exepted you can make them higher bit rate i mean,video resolution didnt change.

Testing right now... I did a flaseable zip so if anyone want to test it is easier for everybody..
I don't appreciate any difference, but I will make more photos. Thank u!

y, I think that to improve the video resolution we need edit the camera.apk, if it's possible... is it true?
Also, in this way we can't edit photos quality, for example with less jpeg compression...

Ok I'm testing my version edited (bitrate video 12000000, bitrate audio 128000, image quality 100%)
I recorded the same subject for same time, I saw that the output file with my mod is more big that the "original"
Now I want to check with PC the 2 sample videos
UPDATE FIRST POST!!!!! IT WORKS

I think it is for video and photos...
did u check this? http://code.google.com/p/aokp/issues/detail?id=240
EDIT: And this one... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1280558

UHM as u can read in first post, it works sure on video... on photos I don't know
I check your link (I'm started from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533238 because I'm realy interesting to improve photos quality), we need to do more test on photos, but if is true... good
Anyway, set - 2 channel(stereo) like first link it's useless, because the mic inside the phone is mono, not stereo ...

It seems to work in photos too. I have the build.prop edited and with this the difference is huge. Will be working on this too. I would like to improve photos

good news, tomorrow, with sun light, I will make a photos with and without mod...

Yes, this could be inlcuded in any custom ROM. You can look here and here for further inspiration. Also, this can be combined with the dark video fix.

That sounds probable. If you limit the framerate to a minimum of 30fps, the video can become very dark when there is not enough light. If you lower this limit to - say - 10 fps, the video will be brighter in low light, but it will be "laggy" and because each frame is exposed longer than at 30 fps, blur will be more likely. Both is inevitable, but in my opinion still better than a black video

yess, I think that it's true, like in photocamera with exposure. But this problem is present at lower resolution... there are a little difference @ 720p

best i could get,wondering if we can edit it to make video at higher fps or resolution(with editing camera.apk).

XDA_Bam where did u take those links from? Tomorrow will test both and try different combinations. Finally we could put together etc modifications + -15% battery mod + darkvideo mod and make a flaseable file

Mmmm do someone know if other users had improve the camera videorec resolution?
I think that 720p limit it's an hw limit, not software...

[MOD] 15 Toggles in ICS blue for the VZW S3 and Tether Bypass *UPDATE 8/12*

Hey guys,
I just successfully ported the 15 toggle mod with blue toggles and blue battery icon to the VZ S3 (Deodexed VRLF2 ROM).
I did this before on the NOTE, so now for the Verizon S3 VRLF2 and VRLG1 based ROMs I present: My "official" port with brightness slider,
painstakingly "transplanted" from an existing version I found for the I9300 into the SynergyRom for I535.
This should work with all deodexed VRLF2/VRLG1 ROMs though!
Update 8/12:
Toggles with theming for SynergyROM 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 (SystemUI was unchanged between these three ROMs):
http://electron73.org/XDA/S3/synergy17/Electron_Toggles_4_Synergy.zip
Wifi tether entitlement check bypass for SynergyROM 1.6:
http://electron73.org/XDA/S3/synergy16/Electron_Tethering_4_Synergy16.zip
Wifi tether entitlement check bypass for SynergyROM 1.7:
http://electron73.org/XDA/S3/synergy17/Electron_Tethering_4_Synergy17.zip
The tethering bypass completely removes the entitlement check from the built in stock WIFI hotspot feature, so it can be used freely via the regular menu switch (usually pops up a message asking for separate subscription) or the blue 15 toggle WIFI AP switch. No more need to use a separate
app for the hotspot. I always found the internal one more stable and turns on/off faster.
Newest version also completely deletes the SPG.apk which is responsible for the entitlement check and tethering management.
So I would assume (NO guarantees, of course!) that this is the best way to tether without VZ knowing.
My personal advice, especially for unlimited plans: Use occasionally and in moderation or pay for the official feature!
As always: Flash at your own risk! IF you like it, PLEASE massage that THANKS button for me

Attached is a screenshot of the result on my phone.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The following steps I found out by doing file comparisons between a modded and an unmodded SystemUI, so here is what I found in hopes of being helpful to anyone interested in porting or transplanting the toggle mod the way I did. I later found out there is an existing guide by wanam here.
The Toggle-Mod explained - How to transplant the toggled from a (foreign) ROM or add-on ZIP (containing a SystemUI.apk) to YOUR ROM:
Using apktool I decompiled both my SystemUI.apk and the one from AndroidGX in the I9300 forum.
1) Copy the entire smali/com/wanam folder over. It contains all the scripts for the toggles. We need those.
2) Open res/values/ids.xml and add as the last line before the closing tag:
Code:
<item type="id" name="exp_power_stat">false</item>
3) Open res/values/public.xml and add as last line before closing tag:
Code:
<public type="id" name="exp_power_stat" id="0x7f0f00d9" />
4) Open res/layout/tw_status_bar_expanded.xml and change
Code:
<HorizontalScrollView android:id="@id/quicksetting_scroller" android:scrollbars="none" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
to:
Code:
<com.wanam.systemui.quickpanel.PowerWidget android:id="@id/exp_power_stat" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<HorizontalScrollView android:id="@id/quicksetting_scroller" android:visibility="gone" android:scrollbars="none" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
Also in this same file the brightness slider can be turned on by removing the android:visibility="gone" from the following line:
Code:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:focusable="true" android:visibility="gone" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="56.0dip">
5) Now comes the trickiest part, editing the SMALI code for the statusbar. It can be found at smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar.smali.
Describing the exact edits (inserts) here would turn this into a monster, so I attached a ZIP with the PhoneStatusBar.smali BEFORE and AFTER. Feel free to use TotalCommander or any other file compare tool to see what was inserted where. All I had to do was insert code in the right spots. Nothing needs to be deleted.
6) With all the changes in place, I used APKTOOL again to compile the whole thing and then used zipalign on the resulting file to get a nice, zipaligned, distributable SystemUI.apk.
ZIP files that install everything along with the other needed parts (lidroid.res and QuickPanelSettings.apk) can be found everywhere, so I just took one of these and dropped my SystemUI.apk in there.
Well.. I hope this information was helpful and can be used by more devs to offer this great mod in their ROMs
Credits go to:
lidroid, wanam for the original toggle code and AndroidGX for the i9300 version

Sweet. Flashing now.
Update. Works great so far. I'm still on Synergy 1.1. Thank you!!!

Thanks man. This is working perfect.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The quicklauncher panel:
It is simply a scrollable panel of app shortcuts that you instantly launch from your drop down panel. You can launch apps from inside other app without the need to exit to home screen first. You can also edit and order the shortcuts to suit your needs.
The idea:
When I started writing this mod I wanted to make it as easy to implement as possible which means no smali changes. I also wanted to make it universal for most android devices so thats what you get.
Implementation Guide:
This guide assumes you can already decompile and recompile an .apk correctly. If you cannot do this please don`t ask me how there are already lots of guides on how to do this here at XDA.
prerequisites:
A deodexed SystemUI.apk with a api level of 16 or higher
Knowledge of decompiling and recompiling the .apk.
These files: Download. MD5:fc5e7cd2c6192461e9ebca6661c70a49
Decompile the SystemUI.apk and navigate to smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/policy
Copy the quicklaunch folder from the downloaded files and paste it into the above location
Navigate to res/layout and open status_bar_expanded.xml look for this line:
Code:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/scrollCart" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
(Note this is based on TW stock files you may have to mess with the location in your file to find correct placemant)
Directly below that line add:
Code:
<HorizontalScrollView android:scrollbars="none" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.quicklaunch.QuickLaunchContainer android:gravity="center" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</HorizontalScrollView>
Recompile and push to your device its done
Sharing policy:
You are free to bake this into your roms provided:
Proper credit and a link is given not just a mention in a random thread that will be lost in hours.
You use the mod as a whole and not take peices of my code and use elsewhere.
You leave the copyright information as it is.
You dont add you own settings to control the panel eliminating the need for donate app.
How to use:
To add a shortcut simply scroll all the way to the right and press the + symbol this will bring up a list of currently installed app to choose from click one to apply.
To change or remove a shortcut long press the icon and a menu will appear select the desired option by clicking it.
You can also get further functionality by getting the quicklauncher app from the Playstore for just $1. In this you can set colors, visibility of the panel and text etc and more.(Note I have just uploaded it so it may take a few hours to show.) This will support me and the development thanks.
Current 3Minit users will of course get this include in the current app for no charge.

[TUT]Make your own watchface

---Moved Here---​

You sir, are a legend.

I love you!!!
Thanks so much

Dumb question - after you run the Android application via Eclipse and it installs the APK onto the phone, how do you view the watchface? Should it show as a new watchface clock in the customise watchface editor?
Edit: Answered my own question - yes

Are you able to explain how to add a date to the analog clock (e.g. day of the month) and also maybe the month (e.g. Jul for July)
Thanks in advance!

Hi Naheel,
I've tried adding the date but without any luck. Nothing is showing up on the watchface. Do I have to add some other code to include the new XML as part of the build? Will the date show above the watch background image or is there the chance that it is on the bottom layer? Also I'm guessing that the text will be white as per the sample code you posted. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks mate! I'll give it a go!
EDIT: Awesome it works!! Thanks once again! Time to update my watchfaces to include dates

I'm glad, Great work

I've been busy making new analog watchfaces and figured out how to offset the dials. Edit the code within \res\layout\clock_widget_analog.xml
How to offset dials
As an example the following code will use a square second hands PNG file, resize it to 45x45px and offset it 82px from the top and 70px from the left. It will continue to rotate around the centre of the PNG file (i.e. around pixel x=23,y=23)
Code:
<include layout="@layout/analog_clock_hand_seconds"
android:gravity="left"
android:layout_marginTop="82px"
android:layout_marginLeft="70px"
android:layout_width="45px"
android:layout_height="45px"
/>

good notice :good:
also you can do that on the "analog_clock_hand_seconds.xml" it self.
Coming soon;

Hi Naheel,
I've found a slight bug in the 'date' code you've shared. It cuts off the second digit for double-digit dates for some reason. For the moment I've only found an inelegant hackers way to fix the problem so I won't share my solution. Not sure if you have a better way of fixing it?
Cheers,
Julian

this happen cuz you must add this:
Code:
widgets:template="dd"
and that cause the bug on some devices of showing "00" instead of the real date
also I have another way that I'll try:
Code:
<com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center" >
<com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeView
android:layout_width="25px"
android:layout_height="20px"
android:gravity="center"
android:includeFontPadding="false"
android:textColor="@android:color/black"
widgets:textSize="20px"
widgets:timeType="[COLOR="Red"]days_of_month_digit1[/COLOR]" />
<com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeView
android:layout_width="25px"
android:layout_height="20px"
android:gravity="center"
android:includeFontPadding="false"
android:textColor="@android:color/black"
widgets:textSize="20px"
widgets:timeType="[COLOR="Red"]days_of_month_digit2[/COLOR]" />
</com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeLayout>

Great tutorial .
Has anyone tried to create a watchface using a string level-list? The Sony clock tutorial implies you can create a levelist a little like:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Defines the most significant minute number using a level-list of drawables
that can be referenced when creating clocks. -->
<level-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:string="@string/min_digit_0" />
...
</level-list>
However, Eclipse will throw an error with the use of "android:string". I have tried saving the above XML in the drawable-nodpi folder and had added the appropriate string entries in the strings.xml file.
Any ideas?

Again many thanks for your detailed tutorial, Naheel!
Here is my cyan watchface (2 included)
edit: updated apk to Naheels slim version, thanks :good:

Thanks for testing, could you try the updated apk?
edit: I removed the sonymobile example watchface, added a cyan variation without date

Updated apk is fine, thank you

I tried to make this in drawable:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Defines the least significant hour number using a level-list of drawables
that can be referenced when creating clocks. -->
<level-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:text="one" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="two" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="three" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="four" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="five" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="six" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="seven" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="eight" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="nine" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="ten" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="eleven" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="twelve" android:textSize="20px" />
</level-list>
that had to be the hours but it didn't worked on the watch.
however, you can write what ever you want on png files and use it as a level list
