[Q] help build a lock screen?? :(

Hi all!
i was wondering if somone could help me build a lock screen?...
ill have the idea but not the skills to make it happend, so would be great if anyone with the right skill could help me,
it´s a sandwitch that you drag to a android caractet and when the sandwich rech the android character its gets happy and unlocks the phone, now to the problem, i dont know how to animate it. cause i want the "ice creame" to be eaten when it rech the character,and the character got to have a smile on he´s face
thanks everyone and i really think this can be popular

Doesn't that look a little bit childish? Good luck though

iiiiii liek it

Pretty cute idea, sliding the ICS over to the android and it eats it to unlock

ill been trying but need mor reading to learn
childish?.. im 23 and it is middle of the night here in sweden and im out of coffe :/ hehe The plan was that i would do it myself, becouse i had never seen an "animated" lockscreen.. that means, moving android buddy thats eating or something (just an idea) and i know it canot be a long animation becouse you whana unlock the phone and not watch a animation everytime but with the right collor and a smooth and fast bite you get acces to the phone instead of all booring lockscreen buttoms out there, then this could really be a hit

Giendat sure

Hows it lookin?

I have a brilliant idea for a lock screen (a few actually). I'm currently researching such things but finding it hard to find.
I've found tutorials about Java and Android apps, which I haven't read yet but going to.
Framework stuff, though... can't find anything.
Will learning about Java and Android app development help with that?
I've given up on app developing though because my PC isn't good enough (I can't get the AVD to start up). I've got Eclipse and the SDK stuff but it's a no-go.

[Q] Hello please someone answer my questionS ...

hi,
so i bought my htc one x few days ago from affordablemobile.co.uk on 3 (three) network , as i am kind of FRESH to android phones please help me out in a newbie way , thanks
1)how do i update my phone to 1.28 without using the default way because my carrier hasn't updated it yet
2)some games like gta 3 , cosmos hd ... stop unexpectedly ( without starting up the game ) and i have to mention that a advert comes before showing that massage which can be skipped AND i have to say that i haven't payed for the apps as I'm not sure they would work on the device {and i got them from 4shared }.
3)And to be honest I've read a lot about rooting , custom rom , etc / what shall i do , is it worth going through the trouble to root and ... or its not a big deal i should just leave it
4)should i unlock my phone or leave it on 3 .
thank u very much for reading/ please do post anything u know as this will help me very much to improve my skills and to help others .
{if u need more info to help please inform me }

Shame on you for not paying for games. We have to support the devs. And when you not pay for games that are suppose to be paid that is stealing. Come on, the games are only a few bucks each.
Sorry but try and find someone to help you.

but what if it didn't work if a buy it , i might have to send back the phone to exchange it or something
and yes i do understand bruv , i don't even torrent movies and do you thing 1 or 2 pounds its a lot for when i own one x ?

Bro welcome to android. As per ur issue listen.... Till u get comfortable with android do not think of rooting etc etc. Mk sure u download how to and read carefully how to use it. If u r on stock u cannot destroy the fone remember if smthng goes worse jst reset. Mk sure you take backup of data. Many apps n games do not work with ics give time to devs and whatever u buy try lite version first or read reviews of app..... Greetings to u bro for android u made rite choice

You can get a refund if it doesn't work. You can always email the developer or google around for info on the game you plan to buy to see if it works on your device.
In relation to your original question, you can do a couple of things:
1. You can wait until the update is available in your region/country/carrier
2. Read a lot about rooting. If you follow instructions after a lot of research you will able to root your device and install custom ROMs.
Custom ROMs are far better than stock ROMs as the devs tweak the ROM so it will be faster than the stock. Furthermore, you get great support no matter what custom ROM you choose.

thanks for replying , but u see firstly a game like gta 3 doesn't start which I'm pretty sure it should work ! secondly , i obviously can root device following the instructions but what are the major effect that i would see coz to be honest i don't mind the ui and i enjoy it

More responsive and better performance. Battery should improve too.

if you buy an app and it doesn't work, go back to its page on the market and there's an option to get a refund. However it's only there for fifteen minutes after purchasing.
If your connection meant that the download takes longer than 15 minutes, just send a message to Googles support team for the market; theyre always very helpful.

[SOLVED!] How to get Half Life Quake mod working on any phone (use button fix)

Dear XDA Developers,
I have searched everywhere looking for a way to get this Half Life Quake port working on my Xperia Play. So far out of the few Quake android ports. Ql4A is the only one that runs it, and it doesn't let press buttons and there is no use item. The other ports don't works as well, so I recommend using Ql4A. Has anyone found a way to get it working or found an alternative Quake port that is able to run the game with use button working? Is there a Xperia Play optimized Quake port that can run this? Please help, I want to play Half LIfe so bad!
I know its possible because of this.
Please help!
Here is the source for the ported Half Life Quake game that includes the Quake Half Life data
PLEASE HELP!

Ok, i finally figured it out by myself. (thanks for the help guys)
Heres what you do:
Edit in config.cfg buttons, and it just to be sure to root of game (\Quake) and all roots of mods (\Quake\hl).
-It's important to set "usebutton" in Config.cfg, there's no way, how you can set it in game; I set it on JOY1, it's my joystick button, and I advice to you, to set primary and secondary fire too, I set it on q and r, it's my softkeys (that two under display, depends on your device, you can't found it in game controls settings).
Config is opened as text

One more thing, does anyone have this file or this file.
Basically the file from this post here:
sisah it seems like you updated this mod from the first link you gave on this forum? People give this link on youtube for your HL psp mod:
http://files.filefront.com/hlzip/;12088502;/filein
it's bigger in size (339 MB ) and it's better!
This is really amazing work; I don't know how you got all these half life models and maps to work with Kurok.....you even have the flashlight working, and the use button for using the health and armor chargers and doors. Crouching also works for the most part with the select button. And secondary fire! You're very good at quakeC. great work
One question, why do the models seems like jelly? They don't have a perfectly solid shape

I'm going to try to create a tutorial with all this stuff and a working config.cfg file for you noobs out there, I might even create a special app just for this if people can give me these files

couldent you do this???:

With that you can even map buttons?

The problem with that is its extremely laggy...

I never figured it out. But if you download quake touch and select the folder where you keep the half life mod files and then set the menu button as something you can do it. Email the Quake Touch developer who is really helpful if you can't figure out how to set the button

Someone with development knowledge please help the Retroarch team fix Xperia Play!

Hi guys, I'm sure as Xperia Play users you're probably big into emulators, and if you're into those then you probably know about Retroarch. Retroarch Xperia Play support has been broken for several updates now and the team behind it needs help.
I was halfway through RE Nemesis, which ran amazingly on the Play, when I lost support. It hurts!
They need someone with development knowledge to help them out. If I had that knowledge I would do it myself, but the best I can do to help is come from their forum to this Xperia Play community to reach out to another owner.
Somebody please sign up for the Libretro forum and help the team fix Xperia Play support. One of the devs said that "What we need is ONE single developer who happens to own this thing (Xperia Play) that can go through the commits and tell us EXACTLY at what commit Xperia Play controls stopped working."
I cannot post a link due to my new membership, but just google "Libretro Boards"
Do us all a big favor! Thank you!
I am in no way affiliated with Retroarch, I just want it to bloody work on my Play. It's a great emulator and I've used it on my PC, WII, and Play.

I support this, this is the only emu that has UmJammer Lammy and Parappa working flawlessly, and the updates killed that So having to use an older build is the only way sadly.. Unfortunatly im not a dev so i cant help them ><

Yeah, it's odd, R12 (the last working one) refuses to install properly on my system from the APK, so it's new version or nothing.
Someone help Retroarch!

I think this is the best emulator for Xperia Play because you can play psx games in high resolution without lag while other emulators lag in high resolution. Only problem is the broken touchpad that goes crazy.
Last version from the play store works really good if u map buttons manually except for the touchpad. Someone please help them to fix this amazing emulator with the broken touchpad, we need it for our play, we have amazing developers im sure it wont be difficult for someone to fix it ... thanks

hehe
MC4 I like it

Hello, did the touchpad being fixed in newest versions? Coz it looks like mine its still going crazy

Donated an Xperia Play to the team, hopefully they'll have this **** sorted out soon.

Tablet UI transparent status/sys bar HELP

Ok guys,
Im going to post this in every Note 2 variant forum until I can figure this out.. I mmanaged to get a working transparent status/systembar on my note 2 on tablet UI.. the only problem being that my phone totally locked up and being the DUMB a$$ that I am I did create a backup.. reflashed a rom and thought I could recreate it.. I have located what I think the files name is and it is tw_status_bar_background.9.png. Now when I try to recreate it the status bar becomes all distored when pressing something.. I will show you pictures below of it working and it NOT working.. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.. I am not asking anyone to give me a step by step but more of just yes thats the right file or no thats not it..
PS the black line you see at the bottom of first pic is bc the wallpaper is not scaled properly, which can be fixed..

well, i have started to mod my phone with tablet ui for more than a year but still yet to release anything athough i am using it on daily basis from note -> s3 -> note2 now. however, since the updates were rolled out quite frequently in the last year, i had to switch to new firmwares and redo/rewrite the changes accordingly because there were quite a lot of fundamental changes recently. this process is time consuming especially i employed some parts of firmwares from other devices as well as the custom features i added. so, i am not sure when i can release something since i modded the kernel and the rom as well in my own way which compromises the usual practice in terms of structure and so forth. that means i have to make sure it is compatible with other roms first, and then i must ensure i have time to solve and fix users problems
