I want to change the images of various icons in the launcher.Is it possible?
Presently for reference i am reading Home application in android samples but I am unable to understand how to make changes in the code to add different icon images ?
Can someone suggest something?
I'd like to set the homepage of the default browser on my Droid2 to a simple local HTML file. From what I've found this should be possible again, but I can't seem to get it to play nice with me. Is it possible now (without too much monkeying around)? While I'm thinking of it: are the brower's bookmarks saved as a webpage? That might make things more convenient.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI've been looking at android phones for a while now and I like many other people are looking forward to the Droid X. The problem I'm having as a current Blackberry user is email. I've read an article on androidcentral.com that mentions the limitations of POP3 email on the android OS. They also provide a link to a possible fix by having gmail sync with the POP3 email but gmail will only do so once an hour. With that said is there any other options? I manage a number of websites myself and have a few web servers.
Email is a must to keep in touch with clients and having to wait an hour in between replies would never ever fly. I currently have the Tour, which of course has the horrible trackball, but I'm debating on getting the Droid X (so long as I can get POP3 every 2-3 minutes) or upgrading to the Bold 9650. Having all the cool new features of the Droid X would be neat but certainly not a need. POP3 email and battery life - those are the two things that are a must.
Lost tunes? The stock Music app on my Motorola Droid running Android 2.0.1 was able to play ~200MB of .wma files which it found automagically. I was initially impressed that no configuration was required. After I uploaded more .wma files (I have 7.4GB of them now) neither the stock Music app nor several independent apps can see any of them. This is true even if I use settings to narrow the world to one album's worth of music.
Have I overloaded the capacity of the android's music API? Is my Droid allergic to music ripped by Zune? I may have to remove albums one by one and keep trying the player to see if there is a bad file, deep directory tree or special character that is bombing it out.
I think I am finding what I think is a significant limitation in the way the resource directory qualifiers (-hdpi, -v4, -en, etc) work. I have three directories: drawable-hdpi-v4, drawable-ldpi-v4, and drawable (for normal screens and phones running 1.5). I have image X that I want to have a high resolution version of in the hdpi directory and a default one in the plain "drawable" directory. I also have image Y that I would like Android to upscale, or downscale depending on the screen size and only want to manage one image file located in the "drawable" directory. This is to save file size because I don't need crisp resolution for 240dpi phones and also so I don't have to create three versions of ALL images if I want Android to handle the scaling.
I am finding that using post-v4 emulators with 240dpi screens with Eclipse, they get confused with this "hybrid" directory structure and choose to treat all images the same way. i.e. if image Y is found in the "drawable" folder and not in "hdpi", it correctly displays it upscaled and then goes and sees that there is both an image X in "drawable" and "drawable-hdpi-v4" and chooses one of them at random and upscales whichever one it picks the same way it scaled Image Y. So, if it decides to use the high-res version it blows it up even bigger when it didn't have too as if it was found in the "drawable" directory. Do I have to have all of my resources in the "drawable" directory and let Android scale things or have three times the number of image files by having resources in all three directories to make sure all resources are found and treated consistently? I am hoping this is some weird emulator bug that does not reflect how the real OS would treat things.
Is their any proper documentation which mention android internal memory storage and max app size limitation.?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it true that if you have a ViewGroup, say a RadioGroup, you can't align items outside the group to ones inside the group (using toRightOf, alignTop, etc.) That is, does toRightOf, toLeftOf and the rest only work with views at the same hierarchy level? I was trying to label some vertical radio buttons today and find I can only align to the RadioGroup and not the buttons inside the group.
If I remove the RadioGroup, then I can align things OK. There are lots of workarounds, of course, so I'm not stuck. Just thought I'd ask and document. And, BTW, where is the hot sh*t resource editor for Android so I can bang out screens quickly like the iphone guys, using a visual interface designer that knows all these silly interactions? The tools I've seen so far have been toys.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSaw this reply to an email inquiry regarding the FPS cap issue over at AC:
I just got email from HTC:
Hi, I am Danielle and I would be happy to assist you today. You were wondering about the cap on 30 FPS on your HTC EVO 4G. Since this Android device employs a unique HDMI output to deliver video in HD quality to an external display, the hardware graphics driver interface uses significant resources for the HDMI output and therefore displays graphics at 30 frames per second on the integrated display. It's important to keep in mind that content including most movies and television, are created to run at between 24 and 30 frames per second. We have found that some games may be impacted by this limitation.
The HTC EVO 4G has been locked to 30 FPS. This should not present a major issue for most Android applications; however, you may have some issues with some 2D or 3D applications. The 30 FPS has been locked to enhance overall performance in the device. By lowering the FPS of the device the CPU works less. This increases the battery life of the device. The 30 FPS is set but we have decided to look into the possibility of overcoming this limitation by software changes. HTC plans to announce its findings when we complete our investigation. I thank you for contacting HTC and please feel free to send another email if you have any other questions.

Does Android limit the rate of keystrokes when typing?
I have a custom bluetooth keyboard that can send entire sentences at once. On iOS, the text appears pretty much instantaneously. On Android, when I send the sentence it kinds of scrolls through and types it out, taking about a second to actually type out the entire sentence.
Basically instead of typing out the entire sentence at once, the text is entered one letter at a time with a little delay in between.
Is there a way to disable this keystroke limit? I would like to be able to type entire sentences quickly.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAs I was browsing the Forums a few moments ago, I noticed an Advertisement for the Behold II and noticed it has the Android OS on it and a thought popped into my head.Why did the Manufacture (Samsung) go with the Android OS instead of keeping with the Behold system it originally had? then it hit me......
The big Phone Manufacturers are USING the Android OS.. It's overkill. From what I see, they are being lazy and not developing their own new systems to challenge other companies to create better and more advanced phones.. They are relying on Google to do the leg work and labor to keep updating their Android OS to keep the companies ahead of the rest.I am sure Google of course is making bookooldes amount of cash in the process, but come-on! Where is the friendly revelry among each other.. I dred what is going to happen to Google. If not a Monopoly, then being used up until the core is left.
I am going to try taking my eris in to get it exchanged because of the silent phone problem. I am on leak 3. I have some questions first though.
- Will I even be able to have a legitimate complaint if I am on a leaked version?
- Will a new eris come with 2.1 or 1.5?
- if the new eris has 2.1 what are the chances of this happening again?
I cant stand having to reboot to use my phone as a phone.
Is there any way to get the stock Android Messaging app on the Eris? I hate the HTC messaging app; it's so slow and leggy. I also hate Handcent and Chomp. Is there any way I could get the stock Android SMS app? Or does this require rooting or what?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering what was the best SMS/MMS app everyone was using or are most of you using the default messaging on the Eris? I've been hearing different reviews regarding the Handcent vs. Chomp. Is there anything else out there that is pretty good? I actually like the default messaging on the Eris because it shows my pic and the contact's pic during the conversation. The only thing I really don't like is that you don't know when you reach your 160 characters because it doesn't have a counter (or does it and I don't have it activated maybe?).
View 2 Replies View RelatedFirst I must say I'm enjoining the transition from blackberry storm to HTC Eris. I'm curiosity to know if there is an app that cuts the phone off during the late night hours and then wakes it up in the morning. Or is there a setting built into the phone?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI updated my Eris to 2.1 about a month ago, and it's been running fine up until about last week. Lately, the battery hasn't been lasting me more than 12 hours, and I've done everything I can to save battery life, plus the battery cover usually gets hot enough to cook some eggs on top of. The problems I've encountered lately is with making and receiving calls. When trying to call someone, it seems to take forever. I know my phone isn't the fastest Android, but it used to work fine. It takes a good 30 seconds just to type in a 10 digit number; the phone usually freezes a couple of times, its just generally laggy.
When I try to receive a call, the same basic thing happens. The phone freezes up while I am trying to slide the bar down on the lock screen, etc. Here's the main issue. After sifting through the freezing and lagging, and finally get to the call, I cannot hear anything, and they cannot hear me. The call is connected; I see the notification up top, and I have got the vibrate to tell me it's connected.
How do I power the phone off? Is there a manual somewhere out there? Mine only came with a book called 'Tips, Hints and Shortcuts.' I have a mac... is there anyway to sync this to my computer? Also how do I put files onto the phone... I have mounted the phone onto computer and can see it but I don't know where to put the files. When using the phone, can you rename folders? How do you manage these folders? Also is there a way to remove all the crap software that comes loaded.... amazonmp3, no thanks!.... Peep, no thanks!.... I read about "rooting" but this seems complicated, is there maybe an application that does it for you?
