[Q] custom search engine -- collaborate or school me? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my intent is to create the best possible custom search engine that is dedicated entirely to either the G1 or G2. I do not really understand a lot of what goes into a search engine.. and have kind of maxed out... so here it is http://goo.gl/YYTxp
looking for someone to school me or even collaborate on it... or make suggestions. my eyes glaze over at alllllllllllll of the features in the search engine development page and basically i feel like helen keller with a gun... shoot or miss... so, i come to you as a total n00b but i am learning so much.. and i mean so much about everything that I really lose focus after a while because...well.. google is basically a 24-7 FuntownUSA on permanent sugar diet and no supervision.
its intended to be very device specific -- with main focus on anything g1 or g2 or CM or Sense or any rom, anything you can do on the G1 or G2.... I think its really half baked and I would appreciate input.
its for use both on the phone and on the computer so, the easier it is to use on the phone the better. I also cant figure out how to make the background black. thats some setting somewhere.
How do I make my CSE be the default search engine as far as the android browser goes?

Hmm... real cool idea

I'm getting more and more pissed off with my Desire

Now I find out I cant even set an animated gif as a wallpaper.
For all this **** this phone can do there seems to be SOO much it can't do.
It's 'the new way forward' Be glad you don't have a device that starts with an i ... Even more restrictions and things it can't do.
On the other hand, who wants ugly old obsolete animated gifs as wallpaper anyway? Android allows for much much better and nicer wallpapers.
But oh well, it's all personal eh. So far I didn't run into anything the Desire couldn't do when I wanted something done... no.. NO! That's not entirely true, I want to use my Desire as a bluetooth keyboard for my PS3. It can't do that ... YET!
oursol, I have to agree with RaptorRVL - who nowadays would want to set an ugly looking pixelated, repetitive gif animation for background? We have muuuuch better Live wallpapers!
RaptorRVL ... bluetooth keyboard... I can only add a finishing YET to your post They got android on a f...n washing machine!
Okay, agreed.. but I am finding the little things just a little bit annoying so I needed to rant.
Is there a way of converting animations (flash or gif) to a live wallpaper?
tbh I feel your pain oursoul.
I've been looking at modding the Desire with themes, and icons etc. and I've pretty much hit a brick wall. While this phone is good for Dev's and people seriously into computing, to someone like me, whos wizo on photoshop but not into cmd:// stuff i'm finding this phone pita. The iPhone was much easier to fiddle with.
and I never thougtht I'd say that.
simples
Jailbreak, EXE, follow instructions, done
OpenSSH, find files, edit, compile into folder.
Open Winterboard, tick theme, Restart springboard.
Done
Android
Root phone, follow long drawn out process, upposed to EXE
At this point I'd had enough, frankly bricking the Desire, isn't worth it, and by what i've been told so far, making a theme will require java coding, and repacking into a APK.
tbh I'm seriously considering a iPhone 4, the only thing keeping me on the Desire is the idea of 2.2 with flash 10.1 if it doesn't show up, i'll be off.
so yes oursoul, I understand your frustrations completely...
U can install skins with metamorph MUCH easier than winterboard u can NeVER say that theming and editing of the phone in iPhone is easier than in Android thats just stupid!very stupid!

lol, I haven't found 1 live wallpaper out of the 30 I have tried which hasn't
lagged the hell out of my phone. I don't know weather it's simply bad coding
or what - but for now, live wallpapers are simply unusable for me.
(this is also with the processor at 1200mhz)
hopefully with all the claimed performance enhancements found in froyo however, the desire will handle them better
ill try metamorph out, but what i'm saying is from a n00bie, position is i'm trying to add to this community with themes, etc but i can't find out jack and when i do people tell me i've got to go routing through the guts of the phone, which i don't want to be doing, if i'm wrong, and it's not that involved i retract my previous statement, but at the moment i'm not getting very far, and thats not from a lack of effort.
Live wallpaper work fine for me at 1ghz! No lag at all.
On the subject of theming. Why not use an alternative home? Freedhome allows for a LOT of customization.
What exactly would you change? There are a million homes that change the look and function of the bottom bar. Wallpapers obviously you can change. There isn't much to change really.

Give it time... it'd be crazy to do too much skinning just yet because who knows the full impact of the coming OTA on Sense.
I'm also a noob on android... so there's much to learn.
well all the icons would change the wallpaper obviously, colour scheme, probably even audio too to suit the theme. I want to complete skin the OS.
I've just managed to root the desire, got the SU icon on the menu. and i'm now trying to work out how to access the phones internal files?

i conquer, maybe lag issues are down to branded phone bloatware
Sorry to jump on the post but I am have an animated gif issue too:
I can't play them in a web browser, I have tried the built in browser, opera and dolphinHD but they just wont play. I am sure I read somewhere that 2.1 gives this functionality, yes I know some of you may say why would you want to play them anyway but this is old and basic functionality that I could do years ago on non smart phones.
Is it just my Desire that is at fault?

That's what I've felt like as well, coming from an iPod touch I expected Android to be like an already jailbroken iPhone, turns out it's not that easy and there is a lot of stuff you just can't do. I am very tempted to get an iPhone 4 for other reasons as well, such as the fact that this phone is terrible as a media device.
I agree. For an open os and 1ghz, there seems to be alot it can not do with this phone. I cant use total recall to record calls what even my old nokia could. I can not use an screenshoot app without rooting the stupid thing. I can not record video with smooth fps. I can not play divx/xvid out of the box like with samsung spica. This are just some things im missing.
The live wallpaper do slow down my unbranded phone also. This isnt free on the cpu and battery either.
Just a suggestion...
Why don't you stop whining and next time before you buy a phone - research it and find out if it does what you need it to do! There is no point in *****ing in here. Coming from an iPod Touch user (mainly as a PDA) I AM IN HEAVEN WITH MY DESIRE AND I WOULD NEVER LOOK BACK!

It sounds more like you're just expected something to be simple and getting in a huff when it's not. Rooting is quite straightforward (easier on the Desire than the Hero in my experience say) if you can follow instructions and copy and paste.
But anyway, now that you have rooted. Go into recovery, use adb and pull '/system/framework/framework-res.apk', extract that, play around with it (change graphics and what not, but be careful and make sure you backup your original framework-res.apk file), repack the apk (it's just a signed zip - it might not even need signing) and push it back with adb. I warn you, I've not actually tested this myself but give it a go.
I'd make a nandroid backup before to be on the safe side (worst comes to worst you'd have to flash a new rom). If you didn't understand anything I said then look it up as I only know it from reading it.
Good luck, Rowan.
Edit: I just tried this to edit my alarm icon and confirm it doesn't need signing.

Honeycomb 3.0

Hi,
Attached is a build of Honeycomb for DesireHD, I managed to find this by browsing the net and take no credit for creating it whatsoever.
I'm hoping one of our more clever members can do what needs doing with this to make it work on our beloved HD2.
Thanks.
http://www.multiupload.com/DLJ46IG55Q
Nobody is interested? Or is it a fake? Can anybody (with the right skills and tools) check this please.
???
Are you serious ?! someone can verify that build or can you make some screenshots ?
Could be, but dont know if his link is trusted.

honeycomb is not really made for phones as I understand?

Yes that's what i read
but hey
DFT can make it a reality as usual XD
If you check the link in my post, ist already ported and working.
There is a video there to, its a Dutch site though.
Yes its ported to EVO & is working..!!!
PS: - I haven't tried yet though
The LINK
[ROM-DEV] ||Honeycomb on EVO||Alpha||SpyderComb||Honeycomb Android 3.0||2/17/2011||
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957842
It is a genuine link, I haven't tested because I don't have a desire, I have seen video footage of it running from the same source and I have inspected the file which looks about right to me, just needs correct drivers and repackaging I believe. If only I knew how to do the repackaging and which driver files were needed I would do it myself.
Yup this is built for tablets and not phones but there are a few tablets with screens not much bigger than our hd2's. It may not even be practical for daily use but I'd love to have a play. : )

May be we can have a working one on our HD2's, can't say, DFT & the cheifs here ROCK..!!!
I like the lock screen & the home screen, it a really an evolution from the older Android Versions..!!!
So hope we get a working port pretty soon..!!!
here's a video for DesireHD release..

I know that mdeejay or one of the other devs on here could get it working in no time, I just don't have the knowledge, fingers crossed.

the expert cooks should be working to port it to the archos tablets
Booted it on my HD2, but... it lags, nearly nothing works by now etc, and it's hard to hit interface buttons... not sure this will be really useful, but I'll try to work on it
Don't ask for upload please...
Can someone point me in the direction for a tutorial for creating clockwork mod roms please?
this would be probably better suited for viewsonic g tablet
Probably, would still be fun to play with on my phone though.

I haven't had any fun
Nothing really works, sdcard mount, wifi, radio, bluetooth, etc etc, even some buttons are not properly mapped, so i couldn't turn the screen off, i haven't took a closer look though.
Default launcher, and some interface parts lag SO much
But this will really take time, cause everything should be fixed, and cause it's still preview SDK - not really worth it.

Facebook inside on CM7?

Is there a way to install the facebook extras that come with stock rom?
Any help with this would be appreciated!
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
yes i would change quick if i know that CM 7.1 would have the Facebook Inside
please NOT!
stupid facebook crap...
get a life or install it as an app if you really need it.
CM or SE stock, choose, different purposes, people wants timescape, facebook inside and all sony's stuff on the CM, so why flash CM, OMG...
Maybee an idea...
I recently discovered an app called Feep.
You can choose between 3 widgets in different sizes.
One is a 4x4 widget that is fully customizable
Its a really nice way to keep an eye on Facebook.
And... it's free without adds!
As an optional why not?
So lets hope there is some one manage to port it to work with cm7

Calm down, no need to be cocky and ultimately make a smart ass idiot out of yourself (perfect oxymoron for you). This is an open forum with different people having different needs and I see no reason why one cannot ask for some features.... If you don't want to use it means you are not interested in this thread so it doesn't need your insignificant input, I'm sure next time you demonstrate ignorance with arrogance, think twice or your time here will be pretty short....

now you are offending me. it was just my opinion about facecrap...
it must not be inside an operating system of a phone. but as an addon it is ok. but please not inside an os!
it is like ketchup inside vanilla pudding. some may like it but it is nothing for all others.
also i don't understand why facebook controlles so much peoples lifes...
I dont use facebook often the extras with facebook inside are just that they are extras and i thought people may find usefull, they are not available freely so that is why i asked. If you dont find it usefull then perhaps you should look at posts, threads that you do find usefull
I did not ask for it to be included as part of o.s. but as how we could add as an extra.

What im really getting at is I want a custom rom for just my self and I want all the best stuff from everyones roms I won't give it away or sell it or trade it or start fires... not again... but I do really want the color and dpi settings from Paranoid android and thats all.. can anyone send me a link or explain to me simply how to start doing this or how to teach my self to do it. No smart ass remarks please I know its making my own rom but I dunno where to start searching brings up 100's of posts about roms I dunno man so if u know easy way to start doing this let me know please if don't mind helping me PM me please. I had long day work I could use something to get my mind off real life
Chef central might be a good place to start. It's a forum here on xda.
However, a lot of what you're asking for requires frameworks specific to certain ROMs. If you can figure out what you need to run the features you're looking for, then you should theoretically be able to cook them into a ROM. Most features of android may as well be an apk that can be run anywhere, but many things require resources to function.

What does aroma have to do with it? Many here prefer the unthemed roms. That's why my rom is a stock base, even tho I prefer a theme. Themes are a add on in my updater so that everyone wins.

I'm saying that because of Aroma you can pretty much do whatever you like to an extent....therefore, there aren't many devs themeing. If we didn't have the luxury of Aroma, this section would definitely have at least a handful of themes.

That has nothing to do with stand alone themes. 1 developer making a theme aroma installer doesn't stop the entire forums. Joshbeach has his own theme applied to his rom. Sleshepic has his own theme applied. My rom has available themes.
Those who usually make stand alone themes are the ones who don't have there own rom, so they make a universal theme. It wouldn't make sense for the rom creators to make universal themes on top of their rom.
I also believe the community here prevents more themes from being created. Go read a thread like Jellybomb and every page has someone complain about the theme. I assume that's why Sleshepic made a mostly stock themed rom. And that's why my base is mostly stock themed.
I had one member who tried Lab Rats and was bashing it in another rom thread for having a custom boot animation and pull down. What's a rom if there is nothing specific to the rom?
Obviously I'm only speaking on my behalf and my thoughts, not anyone else mentioned in this post.

I'm not sure it is the community preventing anything.
People with chops for, or a desire to learn Android OS building/theming usually go right at making a full ROM rather than a theme for another ROM on the Sprint Note 2. That is just the way this device on Sprint has been. Even folks who are admitted beginners at the dev game, basically have taken a handful of standard patches (4-way reboot/all-apps-in-multi-window/Perseus-Kernel for example) applied them to the latest vanilla deodexed ROM and then themed the snot out of it as a new fll ROM rather than a theme patch....when they could have just themed the snot out of someone else's ROM which already basically had all the patches they wanted. I don't mean to single or look down on any one dev or person's work out in that statement, just to be clear. It is just an observation.
Hence the current situation we have...lots of folks of varying ability all pushing out their own themed TWiz ROMs, all with basically the same patches between them. It is an easy comparison to Ubuntu linux, and the dozens (hundreds rather) of themed clones that Ubuntu has....when people could just make a red theme for Ubuntu, rather than using RemasterSys and cooking an entire new Ubuntu Red themed distro.
Where's the community preventing anything? I mean maybe if devs made thorough documentation on how to theme the TWiz ROM available it would help....but that is more work for devs with lives, and that is still not the community at large's fault.

I guess I could have worded it better. I didnt mean it's the communities fault there is no themes, I just don't believe there had been much of a desire for them. I have seen more anti theming posts then requests for them in general. Then there is the user above that says all we need is the Aroma theme chooser, if everyone is happy with that, then it doesn't encourage others work. I started with helping anothers rom on my last phone.
I have a few people over here that we have taken under our wing to learn, that's what keeps xda alive. I have answered multiple pm's asking for help, and do my best to help them. It's annoying tho when you repeatedly help someone and they don't even Thank you in the op, but that's a different matter.
There are many tutorials available on how to theme, all you have to do is search. While most roms have some of the same features like 4 in 1 reboot, I believe that's because it's considered a must have to most users.
OP could google how to port it, but chooses not to try or failed and didn't get help. Users should be more proactive in my opinion, but only they can choose to.

I hadn't seen the theming guides for TWiz for making a theming patch...then again I hadn't looked.
I think most end-user people are usually against it, as theming is a personal choice and what pleases one person inevitably causes 2 more people's eyes to wince in pain. Hence why (the PITA of keeping) Morphology is a cool thing for those that want a themed TWiz....but on the dev side, keeping all of Morphology working is a PITA like I said. We've been swearing at Morphology and MA7 of late behind the scenes.
Users could be more proactive....but at the same time, there's cost and reward and how many headaches you're willing to go to to just change the color of say the SMS or SPen app.
I doubt there is a guide that will tell you where every file is because tw is such a pain with its naming. I couldn't of the top of my head tell you where a lot is, I tear apart apps and find what I think is it and test it. It's a lot of trial and error.
You can Google big parts of it tho, I have done it myself to find stuff when I was stuck. Maybe I will make a thread with some basic locations like status bar pngs. I don't know how many people would find it useful, but I guess we can see how many people are willing to try stuff on there own.

Well...and as soon as such a database or wiki document or whatever is compiled....the next TWiz update will render all of it obsolete.
Theming touchwiz is a pita because the roms are all different. My theme is based on stock, and it actually comes from my own rom, but it has taken me many, many hours to get it the way I want it. First you spend a ton of time themeing the stock rom, then devs come out with tweaked roms, and now people want you to go back and tweak you theme for each rom, or add tweaks that are rom specific to your theme, etc. It also seems like samsung/sprint tweak little bits of stuff between each leak/update so everytime something changes there is a resources that change so you have to recompile the whole freaking thing.

Which is why such list will never be complete. That's why I said basic stuff like signal bars, battery, etc that shouldn't change much.
