[REQUEST] Fix Voice keyboard!

Okay.
Look at this picture:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
You see how the background is only as far as the keys are and you get the white (or whatever color the bg is of the app your on) sidebar and bottom stripe?
You can't see that on the original LatinIME.apk.
See, this is the original.
Its that dark gray background on the LatinIME.apk that I want fixed on the Voice Keyboard.

Come on, is no one gonna help me? I was told it was easy! I have no idea how to fix it, but I was hoping someone would!

I'm playing around with the APK a bit, its called "VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk", formery "VoiceSearch.apk" and "LatinIME.apk". I was hoping to find a transparent "Such_and_such_Image.png" in the new one, and the same image, only not transparent, in the old one. So far, I'm not seeing it. Perhaps its something deeper, something in the XMLs?
I can see you don't like the way it is now, but I think most people do, and I believe its working as intended.
Perhaps someone more experienced can help shed some light?
***Attached are the files in question***

In this post Konipub has a flashable zip for his rom with voice keyboard that doesn't have transparent background(atleast not in HIS pictures)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6182240&postcount=2
So I removed all the key layout files from my phone because some of them had different names and I know the zip wouldn't over ride them; and I flashed it. It looks just like the one from darches google ****s. I don't know if konipubs picture is inaccurate, or perhaps the background file is actually a file from the framework-res? I almost feel like it must be. Will do some heavy digging tonight!

: Disregard:

Its probably in an .xml within the layout folder. That keyboard bugs me when its like that as well...I'd dig through the .xml's, but ive been too tired to even focus on it...Try the Droid X keyboard, its nicer.

Thanks. I actually do have Froyo with CM6 Test Build 0 right now, but I think the VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk was removed.

I take it back, I think the problem is because the. .apk is for high resolution phones. I'm willing to bet there s an hdpi folder instead of mdpi. Yup, I was right this is for high Res phones. Its an easy fix.

If it's an easy fix, do you think you can do this? Please say yes.
And I almost gave up all hope.

Mods can delete this thread. No longer applies to CM Roms. Issue resolved.

IncrediPhone theme by GrafiXpressions

Just something fun I whipped up... includes some basic iPhone icons i created from various screenshots of the iPhone 4 as well as a pretty nice iPhone-esque rain drops wallpaper.
Enjoy!

Sorry guys, I should have been more clear. All this consists of is icons and a wallpaper. To achieve the "look" you need a few simple non-root programs such as better cut and folder organizer to change the icons. I also used adw launcher to get the iPhone styled app drawer and the dock you see in the screenshot.
Absolutely no root required!

I use ADW Launcher aslo but I cannot figure out for the life of me how you got 4 icons on the bottom like that. I mean the quick launch icons at the bottom.

you need to disable the page dots, then you are able to select the choice to add 2 more buttons in the place of the dots.

Excellent. I have it now...one more question...how do I replace the dialer? I have all the other icons replaced but when I go to create a new shortcut I do not see dialer as an app?

on the Incredible you will have to select new "Activity" in BetterCut and it is listed as Phone in there.

Excellen thanks. I found it under activities and it was called phone.

Cool work. Looks good...it was only a matter of time until someone wanted their incredible to look like an iPhone. Lol oh the irony! Because when you hold it...it gets reception

I did it just for fun... i switch between ADW.Launcher (my iPhone theme) and LauncherPro (My Android theme) just to switch it up. To be honest, when using the Android iPhone theme I always feel like that is how the iPhone OS should have been!

hey rocket man! do you have a page with all your icons?

all of the ones i ported are in the zip file. i'm thinking about making a "goodies" page on Grafixpressions.com where all of our fun stuff will be posted, but it may take me some time to set that up!

Sorry if I was unclear! I was refering to if you had other icon designs besides this? I'd like to check them all out!

Some pics...stock but applied hacks :)

I picked up my Gtab last Monday, applied clockworkmod, made a backup and was about to start the rooting process when the latest TnT update came out. I got that installed then had to reflash clockworkmod and then rooted the Gtab. Installed the Flash.apk, got Market, Gmail going and then started playing with it.
I'm really liking this Tab as is.....though I would love to see the TapNCrap totally removed.....I might even try compiling from AOSP a source built ROM like I did for my Droid (SnkBitten ROM).
With Root, Market hack and the latest "test" Nvidia Tegra performance updates....I grabbed a few pics with ddms from the Android SDK. This is my tab running stock TnT (latest version) with LauncherPro as the home replacement and the Market hacks. I figured this may help some who aren't interested in completely changing out from the stock ROM to something else.

And as a test I pulled the Wallpaper app from my ROM and put it to /system/app then installed it and it worked great...giving me all the wallpapers I have in my SnkBitten rom (SNKWallpapers...totally kanged from CyanogenMod with replaced images).

nice! sorry for the newbie question but how did you skin Launcher Pro like that?
Oh, I've also gotten pretty much everything to work on the gTab with exception of screenshots and a few other apps such as keyboard. This thing rox!

That's a launcherpro "custom" dock image. I found it on www.launcherpro.com in their theme section (there are TONS of choices people have posted). I liked the blue glow look so downloaded it to my phone and then selected it in launcherpro preferences "appearance settings" then "dock background" and choose custom, it will pop up a chooser and let you select the file from the gallery.
The icon spacing was set to 8x8 so it allows for 8 icons across and 8 down, it allowed most of the icons text to still be displayed.
For screenshots, the only thing I've found to work is ddms (part of the android sdk "tools"). It runs on your computer and pulls the screens from your tab over the USB connection.

Nice work. I'm no fan of the TNT UI, either. The only thing I like about it is that it's got the panels on the homescreen. I'd like to find a way to keep them, but make them customizable (backgrounds, colors, icons, size, etc).

Latest Tegra "test" performance updates?
Do you have noticeable results and where did you find them?
Thanks!

Customizing

Hi, I got a KF when it came out last year. I wanted to give it to my niece this year for her birthday. I'd like to put something other than the KF OS on it. Maybe CM9? That seems to be popular around here. Also I'd like to customize the screens so that a 4 year old can get to what they need and not get lost in all the extras.
Q1: Can anyone recommend an OS for it? CM7, CM9 or other. I don't need it to have all the gadgets or widgets. Just wifi, video, sound and the google market. Maybe I can strip down something already made?
Q2: I guess I would have to make some sort of custom theme for it. Does anyone know of one for kids? I want to get rid of the carousel and do maybe 3-5 BIG icons on the main screen. No extra screens (swipe to next screen). And a password protected settings icon.
I've done lots of windows and Mac programming before, but no android yet. I've got the SDK and have gone through several beginner tutorials ("Hello World", ect.)
Thanks.

Im using Cm7 currently, i suggest you to use the same! Very cool, smooth and fast.

Cm7 is quite stable, and its been fun customizing it to my liking.

Ok cool. I'll start on CM7 then. Do I need to modify the source code to customize it or can I just manipulate the configuration files and graphics?

MIUI
I'm using MIUI.us, It's still quite buggy, but it promises lot!

If it's for kids, maybe the easier way should be:
Keep stock rom
Root KF. do not register in order to keep out amazon's further upgrades
Install the apps you like
Set another launcher as default and customize it as you like. Hide/unistall what you think the kids don't need
No need to flash roms, IMO

Put the MoDaCo Rom on it. It comes preloaded with the Android Market and uses the regular Kindle Fire OS. I've used it and I think it would be perfect for your niece!
Here's a preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2QtQeOdOZg
He says in the video that the Rom is v6.2.1 (Gr2), but it is actually been updated to v6.2.2 (Gr6).
Here's the Rom: http://android.modaco.com/topic/350682-24-jan-gr6-622-modaco-custom-rom-for-the-kindle-fire/

CM7 is the only one that can do video for now. I recommend you use GO Launcher or the stock one. Don't go too overboard trying to make your own. Actually did one a few years ago for my brother to browse the internet.
Desktop VisualizeR lets you do "stickers" and put them where you please and then point them to an app. Kinda like this:
{
"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_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

That's a really nice screenshot you have. Is that with the stock KF OS? or did you put something else on? I've downloaded the app, but the icons I get are always small, even when I give it a big image. Do I have to buy their image crop app or another one of theirs to get mine to look as good as yours?

[Q] Disabling the Multi-Window button GN10.1

I've tried searching for this but only found stuff in the SGN2 forums.
Is there anyway to disable/move the Multi-Window button? This button is making some of my applications considerably more difficult to use since it blocks functionality partially in some apps.

Yeah hold done back button to disable.. also you can just drag and drop the icon.. so you can have it where you like it!!

Doesn't get in the way of any apps Ive tried

I've just tried this. The back button method doesn't work and the button is not draggable. I had been trying to avoid flashing, but looks like I might have to.

Is there really no way? That multi windows button is pretty annoying, and I never use multiwindows. That zip merely makes it translucent but I guess it will have to do. =/

If you have a custom recovery installed then you can follow JamMasterClay's instructions in this thread.
However, the icon replacements he offered were not quite what I wanted since I wanted to remove the button completely. So, I just downloaded one of the button mods that he has available and extracted the zip, replaced the two png files with the two originally posted by heavylildude in this thread and created a new zip archive. Then used the newly created archive as per JamMasterClay's instructions. The floating cascade window is now gone from my apps (you do lose the functionality, but it's worth the trade off in my opinion, but you probably do want to back up the undo zip in case you ever want it back).
There may be an easier way to do this, but I wasn't sure if you could just copy the two png files directly into the apk.
