Can you have seperate wallpapers for portrait and landscape?

Hi guys.
I did try searching but didn't find anything about this.
I miss having separate wallpapers for portrait and landscape like I had on my TP2.
Is it possible to do this on a G1, with 1.6, and no root?
(Please don't start the "why don't you root" stuff, at this point in time I will not get any benefit from it, I don't feel like changing all my settings again, and there seems to be no definite guide for UK DRC92.)

android has no built in feature that allows you to do this but there may be a home replacement app that will do this, not sure though

I was kind of hoping there was an app that'd allow this with the stock home, every home replacement I've tried has either been laggy, FC's a lot, or is just useless in general.

I am not aware of any such feature. It's not doable in the stock home screen or any home replacement I'm aware of.

Dual Wallpaper allows the user to select two different wallpapers to be set when the phone is either in Landscape or Portrait mode.
When the orientation changes, the application will automatically change the wallpaper.
For 2.x phones only
Does NOT require root.
Latest version: 1.0.0 (for Android version 2.0 and higher)

[Q] Location of Menu Sub Text in framework xmls

Working on a gingerbread theme for DK28, not quite sure if i'll release it or not, but while dumping the pngs in and testing on my phone, I noticed the issue in the attached screenshot. The backgrounds for the icons when you hit menu from the homescreen are now black so the black text no longer shows up.
Anyone know where this text can be found in the framework xmls so I can edit it? Its the only issue I found and I poked around the xmls but couldnt find anything that jumped out at me, thanks for any help!
EDIT: correct png uploaded

bump - cmon guys, no help on this?

This is what I'll trying to figure out as well, its really pissing me off as its the only thing stopping me from releasing my rom. Im keeping an eye on this thread as well.

Sorry, I mean on our phones. Its probably a dumb question, I know. Its like the only one I can't find. I have changed every one of then, even some in apps but I can't find that one. What and where is the files. lol

oh right, well its gotta be in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi for sure, i changed out almost every icon in there, flashed it and voila, black menu backgrounds. so i dont know exactly what pngs were responsible. doing a quick search for menu though i get the following i put my money on the starred one:
menu_background.9.png
***menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png
menu_submenu_background.9.png
so what is a menu smali file? i'll search around but i've never done anything with one.
EDIT: sounds like smali might be a little out of my league, lol. but i think i may have found something, testing now before i reveal it. then just one more thing to fix and i think its ready to go!

okay well i found what to do for xml edits here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9664604&postcount=77
but i did them and it doesnt look like it took. i've asked the OP of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863860 for some advice and also on changing the notification text from white to dark as it doesnt look good on the lighter gray notification background in GB.
hopefully i'll have something up today or tomorrow, its looking great other than that!
looking good so far, even with a GB battery 1% mod! just 2 more little issues to fix!

[REQ] Star trek theme...

Wondering if anyone has any info. I'm looking for a star trek look/feel but more like the actual interface they use on the show. Not just a wallpaper and some colors...
More like a launcher.
But here's what I've found so far. A good font goes a long way.
I was using fluxed/adw theme, adw ex with a bunch of setting tweaks and metamorphed theme, then blew it up with a kernal flash, bad nandroid.
But alas with a dead pc and nothing but a netbook not much I can modify other than what already exists.
See pics for inspiring...
Any ideas? Not looking for free labor, just ideas... ie: star trek font prolly not practical...

Someone requested it a couple weeks ago, and DreamsForgotten and Shane talked about it and said it would be extremely difficult to attempt.
If anyone were to attempt it, it would have to be very small steps to start with. Maybe the Starfleet logo for the vertical unlock icon, and the Enterprise for horizontal. A themed Swype would be doable. And maybe the little spinning hub things on the engines as loading icons. Thats all I can think of off the top of my head.

Yes, extremely difficult. Why we say that is because you will have to create lots of images out side of just editing the images in the apk (I would think this would be better done as a launcher than a framework theme), then layering the buttons, text, and other images within the xml, as well as repositioning all of it. The last issue is the 4x4 grid that the phone uses. Those I don't see that as a deal breaker, it is another obstacle.

That's kinda what I thought... launcher rather than framework hack. Perhaps butchering adw or something.
The pulldown animations really have potential too... something simple like glowing conduits that are very opaque and dark...
And it might not be so difficult to rob some architecture from a winblows theme as the huge icon widgets would make a better base. Widgets may be a direction to take. I have a copy of creative suite 2 on my mac but the hdd is soooo slow I hate using it. I could do some graphic work. Anyone got any links of a video showing the computer in action on a screen that would be a cool port? I've googled youtube to little avail...

LED Notification customization?

Does everyone use Light Flow? Any alternatives? Surely Google didn't ensure a multicolor LED be included with the GalNex only to program Android to make it pulse white? Google didn't include settings for the LED?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Used to use light flow until I realized it was causing excessive wakelocks and killing my battery. I would love to hear of a less battery draining alternative.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I use Lightflow when I'm running stock ROM, but of all the configs I've tried, the LED notifications in CM10 were far more reliable in actually being displayed. I still get missed notifications in Lightflow.

I was using this for a while.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwyLDEsIm9yZy5jaGF0Y2hhdG1lb3cuZ25sIl0.

It is surprising to me too that Google would include an RGB LED, yet only program it to flash white. I bought light flow and it's alright I suppose, haven't used it lately as it isn't terribly efficient. CM's LED settings worked best for me, although I'm no longer running the ROM. Would be nice if there was a standalone app that did the same thing.
There is another app, but IIRC it requires a module to be compiled into the ROM you're using as well as the actual app. Can't remember what the name is of course..

I used to use light flow but code name android ROM has them built in and they work perfect!

Never more Light Flow.Causing wakelocks a lot.Another app is Missed Call Reminder,but didnt work 100%.Only option - custom ROM.

I had the free version of Light Flow, and I found that it worked sometimes... Like if I set it to flash green for SMS and white for charging, I would get an SMS, it would still flash white, but I would hear the notification, I'd reply to the text, turn off the screen, and THEN it started flashing green....
I have a feeling Google will throw in settings for it in 4.2, much like Apple didn't enable the Bluetooth in the 2G iPod Touch until iOS 3.... For the record, I no longer have that iPod, because the update to iOS 4 made it impossible to use it was so slow, Apple screwed me over...
Anyway, I don't want to buy an app, especially if it doesn't work right, and especially if I can get these settings in a ROM. It would be ideal to have these settings in CM10, my ROM of choice, but I'm willing to try out this ROM or ROMs you guys are talking about, especially since battery life with the nightlies kind of sucks...Link me up?
Thanks for all the replies, too!

Never mind, I'll put a link up later today...I have it, I just wanted a link for other people who view this thread...

AOKP and LiquidSmooth is able to customize LED notifications. Maybe there are more ROMs, but those two for sure.

I haven't used light flow but I guess It would work the same(if not better) with Notification Lights customisation on Codename Android rom. It's built in with the rom settings and it's working fine. You can choose the apps and the color of the LED light.
Screenshot attached below on what it looks like and the link of the said rom is HERE

AOKP built in led customization works so much better than light flow
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel

Yeah that screenshot is exactly what I see on the...ugh I forget what it's called, C something Android, it's not AOKP or Liquid.... I don't like AOKP lol, the Unicorn thing kind of freaks me out...
Anyway, I like this system, but to get say, pure green with no mix, I had to set the darkest green possible, otherwise it looks whitefish from a little of each and mostly green...

Yep it's definitely Codename Android, I've just said that on my last post lol.
I know what you mean regarding the sort of whiteish mix. It's like that on my nexus as well. I have no idea about that.
Would also like the pure colors with no whiteish mix. Just like on the good ol' blackberry leds

Haha yes, Codename Android, thanks.
Light Flow doesn't do that tri white mix thing unless its a weird color like orange. If we got the right person, they'd fix it up for us...

[APP][deprecated]erikalin-stock app for GB27 stock files

PLEASE NOTE: THIS APP IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED AS OF 12/31/2013. FEEL FREE TO CONTINUE USING IT BUT AS IS AND ON YOUR OWN. THANKS.
erikalin - stock app​
No more longing for stock apps that the ROM developer removed as bloatware but you really love...
No more explaining to users how to pull a file out of that stock ROM and push to system...
No more needing to include those extra stock apps you really would rather not keep in your ROM...
One person's bloatware is another person's beloved Yahoo stock widget...
This is a lightweight app that has a simple UI in which users can go get whatever stock apps they want to download from my repo and push back into the custom ROM they are running. The app also has a Help tab that leads to a noob-friendly video help file 2:30 minutes long, which demonstrates how to download any stock ROM apk file from the repo and push it to system/app/, set permissions, and reboot.
INCLUDING THIS APP IN YOUR ROM BUILD
Permission is given for anyone to include this app in a ROM. You do not need to ask me in advance; just let me know. Here is how to do that. If you include this app in a ROM please do two things for me in return: (1) Post a link to your ROM here on my app thread to say you have included this app, and (2) Post a link to this thread in your OP with other credits.
Please keep in mind that I cannot provide support other than for the functionality of this app: a stock file repo and basic instructions for how to push apps into the system partition. People should continue to post ROM questions on the appropriate thread for that ROM.
Do not link directly to my file repo or my youtube video that is attached to this app. You can use this app, but please do not use the pieces I have hosted and created for this app. If my traffic log indicates that this is happening, I will have to take the files down.
Keep in mind that I do not monetize on youtube, so view counts mean nothing to me. And I am hosting all files for your use without any ad support. "Click through to the thanks button" is appreciated.
THANKS & CREDIT
credit: kobridge for stock deodexed GB27 ROM, files pulled & used with permission and appreciation.
credit: bigmike6200 for being a faithful tester on build-a-rom, for which this app was made.
This app is signed, so if it is not already baked into the ROM you are using, just click to install like a normal app. Uninstall like a normal app too.

Hey bud, ROM is not released yet. This is just an app I made to put into build-a-rom when I release, but I am sharing the app because if people check it out, they'll probably realize they want to bake it into their ROMs as well. Your feedback helped - made me realize that I needed to do this for what I'm putting together. Also, when I do release build-a-rom, you'll be able to keep your data and flash over the test build.

If you guys would want to include this app in your next deodexed ROM versions, go ahead and use it. Just give a link to this thread. I did theme this according to my own project, with the neon green on black. If you want, I can make a few versions themed to your colors. Specifically, where you see green on black in the app's landing page as well as the icon, I can make that whatever on whatever. Black on buttons and app icon could be transparent, but I do like my main background image in the app - it's a darkened screenshot from stock GB7 TW homescreen. Subtle, but pleasing because of the function of the app... but the neon green-on-black color scheme I could change for you easily enough. If you would like this, let me know your hex codes.
I'm going to wait to see whether I get some feedback to help decide if I should make a revision or if it's good out of the box. Fifty downloads so far, which surprises me for a little app on this thread. Either way, I can make a few versions themed for you... we are small in number in the ghostly E4GT forums... And seriously, I've got this handset for another year. If you do not want to include it or don't like it - no offense - just offering/sharing.

Who's gonna be first? Just kidding, looks good.:thumbup:
Edit: Really liking this, great job. Simple and useful at it's best.

Nice no more needle in a haystack search we like simplicity!!!

Very cool. It should be noted somehow that preload files will have to be dropped into system/app to prevent confusion because they will not run by themselves without a symlink. Two very nice apps in one day. This one and the repository app.

It's all good, lol, but you are correct. Erika Lin = "erikalin"
Anyway...
Today in between doing my real work I've also been thinking about how to improve this thing. 90 downloads in one day? Of my little app? In our quiet little forum? I'm glad people are checking it out, so I'll do right by it. I have some initial ideas:
(1) Theme in a few different colors, build them and name them by color scheme. I'd be theming the font color, buttons, and the app icon's colors. Like I said, I do like my app background image so that's staying. Darkened screenshot of stock JB, it makes sense. If anyone says there's interest, I'll make a few different color schemes for v.2. Give hex #s if you want. Honestly, I'm not at a loss for how to spend my time, so if there's no interest I'm fine with my just using original color scheme.
(2) Make sure to clarify push apps to system/app/. Thanks again, td, for reminding. I'll reword the main activity page's description and it will be clear.
(3) Verify that bluehost.com really means unlimited storage and bandwidth for my hosting accounts. I do have several websites on that account, and since I'm now using one of my extras for putting E4GT files on... I can't let it put my regular websites at risk. I will investigate though. If I can host more stuff legitimately with my account, I will consider suggestions for how I might add to this app. I am no expert in java, but can probably handle tabbed navigation, or swipe screens, to different purposes. I will think about this, and consider ideas. The beauty of it is that it will add almost nothing to the weight of the app itself, because all resources are accessed via browser, youtube, whatever. To be clear, I do not want to recreate bilgerryan's fine work with the one stop shop. That's not happening. If I expand on this it will be within parameters... Might just fine tune and keep it the simple app I intended it to be too.
(4) Who is downloading this thing? Lol. You 90+ people, please give me quick feedback. :good:

I do have several websites on that account, and since I'm now using one of my extras for putting E4GT files on... I can't let it put my regular websites at risk. I will investigate though. If I can host more stuff legitimately with my account, I will consider suggestions for how I might add to this app. I am no expert in java, but can probably handle tabbed navigation, or swipe screens, to different purposes. I will think about this, and consider ideas. The beauty of it is that it will add almost nothing to the weight of the app itself, because all resources are accessed via browser, youtube, whatever. To be clear, I do not want to recreate bilgerryan's fine work with the one stop shop. That's not happening. If I expand on this it will be within parameters... Might just fine tune and keep it the simple app I intended it to be too.
(4) Who is downloading this thing? Lol. You 90+ people, please give me quick feedback. :good:
Edit: I just saw this:
Lol... And Go Coast Guard, my sailor brother. Did we not have this conversation? Five armed forces in the U.S. Five. I get my 10% off at Lowe's like every other veteran.

Sorry shipmate. I could not hold back any longer. Sorry Now I need to play around with this some more. Some fine tunning. I am toying with trying the toolbox app. Would this work with "JV"?

You're playing around with the test build of my ROM, and putting in the apps that you want. Just my app here? It works for any deodexed stock GB27 TW ROM, of which JV is one. The app is essentially a file repo - all the stock ROM apps. You like the inverted and themed apps, so you probably wouldn't need this app of mine. It's just a way to get stock apps that are missing from any one custom ROM, without a developer having to keep a bunch of the stock apps in the ROM. Win win. I might add to this app somewhat, or I might make a second app with other ideas, both apps being made primarily for my build-a-rom project.
ROM Toolbox ("RTB") is, I think, one of the most valuable apps out there. It's good to use with any ROM and has a lot of useful features.
