Motorola Droid :: Just Another Reason To Use Sweeter Home Preview 2
Jan 16, 2010
The learning curve is a little steep, but once you learn it ... it is THEE home-replacement app. Checkout the other Sweeter Home threads with pics to see what we're doing with this newly-released home-replacement app But I digress. As I have experimented with MANY apps, and home-replacement apps ... I am constantly watching how much available memory I have remaining. I open Task Killer many times throughout the day to check this. For the record, I have approx. 140 apps installed at this time. This hasn't changed all that much over the passed few weeks. I usually have between 38-52M available memory. I really haven't seen it above the 52M mark in a long time. But late last night, I finally finished enough of Sweeter Home to switch over to it full time. When I opened Task Killer, I couldn't believe what I saw! I had 68M available memory! I've been watching it all morning, and it seems to vary between the mid 50s, to the low 70s. So it appears that Sweeter Home Preview 2 is somehow using approx. 20M less memory than Launcher, Home, or Home++ Beta.

Running perfectly. Very fast, responsive and smooth. I would suggest, however, to make the stock "Home" app your default desktop app the first time you boot up the new 2.1 update. Then you can test your theme in SH to make sure that it's all good. 2.1 has the Live Wallpapers (which seems very smooth, btw), but SH does NOT support them yet.

I've been playing around with the new releases of Froyo 2.2. It appears that sweeter home is not compatible with the new 2.2. Man! This sucks! i have emailed the dev the bug reports. I am hoping that a new release will be coming very soon. Hopefully we can get some kind of the eta on the new release. And just when sweeterhome was virtually bug free!

One thing that's bothering me about SH... I don't use Beautiful Home anymore. In fact, I've removed all beautiful widgets from all my home screens and home screen replacement apps. Yet for some reason I get the weather thing in my status bar as if I had Beautiful Home running. Which means it's somehow being run without being told to. And it only does this with Sweeter Home.

Trying out Google Gestures (very cool app!) with SWII. I would like to dedicate one of my five SWII screens to this app as an opened app. In other words, I'd like to slide the main home page to the left and have the Google Gestures app open automatically. Sweeter Home is so configurable, I figure there must be a way. I just don't know what it is.

Sweeter Home has just taken over my Droid via FC loop. This is terrible! I can't use my phone because Sweeter Home can't start. It FCed in edit mode, while editing a custom tray, and now (for the past several hours), I can't get it to stop it's FC loop. I've pulled the battery, and when I try to boot into safe mode by holding the keypad menu button down while powering up the phone, after a point the phone vibrates, and restarts.

I'm just starting to get the hang of Sweeter Home Preview 2. And as many of you already know, some widgets (like Beautiful Home) won't update consistantly. I'm going to email the dev my finding so hopefully he can rectify this issue. But in the meantime, you can try this fix/work-around. My Beautiful Home widget has been keeping the correct time for almost 12 hours now ... through many edits, screen changes, and reboots. That was not the case just yesterday. What I finally did was experiment with the "Layer Level" parameter of everything on the screen. What I found was that if the Beautiful Home widget was on the highest level (10), that it will update with no problems. In fact, I have no other Layer Level 10 items on the screen where I'm using that widget.

I rooted my droid, and am currently running smoked glass 6. Twice I have noticed my phone heating up (120 F was the most before I pulled the battery) for no apparent reason. I open up auto-killer, kill extra processes, and no difference. No application can be causing this, yet my phone will heat up for no reason. It is not all the time, but I fear it could become a regular thing.

Is there a reason some apps won;t exit,quit,end? Or is it poor design. Currently I have seesmis and sportstap which I cant seem to terminate. I like the apps but just dont want them to keep notifying me.

My Gmail wont push to my droid. I can have 100 emails and nothing will be sent to my phone. If I pull up Gmal on my phone, then hit refresh everything shows up. But I never receive a notification. Also, trying to send something from gmail is useless. Ill reply to an Email and it will sit in the outgoing folder for hours saying, "Sending". If I hit refresh while it sits in the outgoing folder then the email will send.
I have check all my settings and I cant figure out what my issue is.

I was using 2.1update1 which was rooted using easyroot. I deleted a few stock applications that i didn't need such as corporate calendar, visual voice mail, and amazon mp3. Now after attempting to apply the OTA 2.2 update, i receive the following error message:
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/CorpCal.apk")
followed by a bunch of numbers and letters
and then
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(status 7)
Installation Aborted.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Did i need that Corporate Calendar app for some reason?

On the car dock the "Car Home" was default to the home key on the Droid. If I backed out of Car Home to get to an app or something, I would just touch the Home key and it would get me back to car home.

Our application displays a camera preview and it seems to work fine on all phones except for the Motorola Droid where we get a runtime exception when we set the camera parameters:
CODE:.........
Here is the code for surfaceChanged() which is mostly taken from APIDemos
CODE:......
Does anyone know what is wrong with how we are setting the parameters that would be causing the exception on the Motorola Droid?

I saw somewhere in a video that when you are switching windows you could see a preview of the website (like the iphone, or in my case the ipod touch). I was wondering if there was an option to enable that compared to just the name of the site and address. Figured it makes life a little easier and looks prettier!

Does anyone elses keys (keyboard, home button, menu, etc) not light up sometimes? For me the problem would fix itself after opening and closing the hard keyboard a couple of times. But after I downloaded SweeterHome preview 2 they won't light up at all. Is there a timeout option im missing or something? Or is this a common problem with no fix?

I am seeing a very annoying behavior on Motorola Droid when trying to do a simple camera preview at QCIF resolution. And I was wondering if someone experienced something similar. Is there a workaround? Am I doing something wrong?
Let me explain the situation.
Firstly, right after boot-up, using native camera application there is nothing out of ordinary, I see preview each time and it is all perfectly well for as long as needed as many times as I want.
The "interesting" behavior starts when I use the slightly modified API Demos (full app available in Android SDK, modified file is attached). My goal is to preview (and later capture) video at QCIF (176 x 144) resolution.
Using CameraPreview module in API Demos application I can start preview and capture normally only the first time - picture is clear, focused, normal colors, etc. Preview and all is nice. The second time I do preview I see a very over-exposed picture, I need to turn it away from any light source to see anything, otherwise it is all white. And even in the shadow, everything is grainy, as if picture is taken with too sensitive settings (high ISO) with too long exposure. The third time, it is the opposite - the preview and capture is way too dark. I need to point the camera directly into the light source to see even a faintest picture. Pointing out of the window does not help, it has to be straight into the lamp or sun. The effect is like taking pictures with much too low ISO setting - it is way too underexposed.
The overexposed and underexposed sessions interchange, but it is not clear-cut which one appears first. So far the prevailing pattern is that overexposed one starts first. Now surprise comes when I try using native camera application. The pattern continues! It is as if hardware or or software (camera process) got "tainted" with the QCIF. This continues until I reboot the device.
Another interesting point is that if I allow device to "rest", symptoms are much less pronounced after 10 minutes, then in 15 minutes they become barely visible. However, it all comes back after the first time I capture in QCIF. Nothing like this is visible when resolution is higher, say, CIF, VGA or similar. The problem is that, for my purposes I need it to be QCIF.
