Screens beeing always too small :) I am trying to use a skin without any keyboard.
I got it here: http://sacoskun.blogspot.com/2008/09/android-emulator-skin-without-ke...
I am copying the BILGICIFTLIGI-LAYOUT-P folder inside D:androidoolslibimagesskins (please note my system is on D:...)
When running the emulator, I get such message : [2009-04-29 13:30:30 - Emulator] emulator: ERROR: could not find directory for skin 'BILGICIFTLIGI-LAYOUT-P', please use a different name
I tried using the -skindir option and provided the full path : -skindir "d:AndroidToolslibimagesskins" -skin "BILGICIFTLIGI-LAYOUT-P" ...with no success.
If I use -skin HVGA, then it works....
I have tried on 2 different machines and I get the same result. I also tried renaming BILGICIFTLIGI-LAYOUT-P into NOKBD (short name) with no more success. I have btw first tried -skin BILGICIFTLIGI-LAYOUT-P (no ") with no success.
I've searched the entire internet trying to find a way to take the pictures I've made for a Better Keyboard skin and convert them into an .apk file, but no luck.
I don't want to send them to someone to do it for me, because I like to test it every so often to see what needs to be worked on.
So if anyone could tell meskins (clock and weather) not change after selecting and applying them?,
I've been looking around a bit but didn't find exactly what I'm looking for. I would like to apply a custom skin instead of the default Google Map api on an Android app.
Is there any trivial way to do this? For example, swapping the colors of the streets from yellow to another color?
An example could be the way the game Life is Crime has its custom skin on the regular Google map.

Another example, not Android related is this one:
Google Maps API Styled Map Wizard
Ok so I know you can make your own skins in Better Keyboard and change the buttons around to your liking. As shown here on the Gum and Oil Slick skins respectively. My question is can I put a button there that access the Settings of Better Keyboard, specifically toggles the "Muli-Tap" setting. Alternatively I would be curious if a button like the one in the bottom "?123" could be changed to say bring up the full Qwerty when in Compact Qwerty, or even vice-versa.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI been working on default skin before, if i change my skin to WVGA , my layout displays only in a portion of the skin and the rest of screen is black.
although, i can see android's home screen in full view. do i need to change my skin settings or my layout itself?
I have Galaxy S, Launcher Pro (Free Version) & Beautiful Widgets (Paid)
I can download weather / clock skins, but when i click apply it doesn't seem to apply them. I am stuck with the default skin, even though i have downloaded and installed several other skins. I have tried deleting and re-adding the widget, but it still is stuck with the default skin.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I found that game aiMinesweeper support skins. I have a images but i don't know how they have to be packed. Try to find any documentation about this, but nothing.

I mean, 1 hour later still loading a blank screen... Why is it so god damn slow?
Was just wondering if anyone else put on a phantom skin for their DI...I am new at the whole "get your protector wet" application and am trying to figure out how long it takes for the moisture trapped in the screen to dissipate so it is clear. I really hope I didn't do it wrong, as it is mostly clear, but still pockets of a "cloudy" look.

View 7 Replies View RelatedSo I chose to get a Phantom Skinz after reading the reviews. My older Droid was having major reboot issues, so I just exchanged it 3 days ago. Once I determined this new Droid had no glaring issues, it was off to install my phantom...Took 1.5 hours. Wasn't thrilled at the way the corners worked, but it was doable. HOWEVER, when I went to take the dog out and bent over to pick up a ball to throw for him, the once-sticky droid (now slick with the full body skinz), slipped right out of my hoodie pocket. OF COURSE the only place that was scratched was the 1mm of bezel that is not covered by the strangely-engineered top/corner cover. Kinda ticked that I wasted, 1.5 hours, only to make my phone slick enough to fall and have it scratched where the "full body" cover didn't cover.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just hate the solid black look on the face of the phone. I'd like to add a skin to brighten it up. I am not sure if it would mess up the capacitive buttons though. Does anyone know if this can be done? I was thinking something along the lines of the Decal Girl skins.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have purchased the apps "Open Home" and "Better Keyboard" for my Droid and love them both. The only thing that i cant figure out is how to hide all the icons in my pull up menu. I have downloaded multiple skins and the icons are all over my pull up menu and i dont need to see them. is there any way to hide them. If not i can get over it but it would be nice not to have to look at them all the time. any help would be much appreciated.
