Hi,
I'd like to make a tree (toon) and the trunk would be the battery progress bar, but, how can I make the leaf following the trunc ????
thx for your help
I would think that your best bet would be to find a pictures of a tree online and import it into your widet.
trees
Trees are fun.
Import ?...yes ..but it won't do the effect I espect....
I'd like the trunc to go as the battery's progression bar.... and just want the leaf to follow the trunc... a kind a absolute position or something like that..but I don't know how

There's so many different themes and such out there that do different things, but generally are "too much" for what I'm looking for. What I'd like to find is something that could/would change everything in the evo to white text on black background. I don't need fonts or icons or anything else changed the way it looks. The skills that I'm guessing that would be required to do this I'm positive are way beyond anything I'm capable of.
Menus, settings, mms and google voice would be a huge plus too. I know the mms one has been done and I already have that. I'm assuming that it could be quite a project to go through just about everything and change them from a "flashlight" theme to something easier on the eyes in the dark.
I bought the weather and toggle widget and found the flip clock version that is the opposite of stock and it looks good but is a little heavy sometimes on the resources. If my memory serves me still, I remember the old school flip clocks being more light numerals and dark or colored background.
For those persons that enjoy doing this sort of thing, perhaps you might consider this project. I don't know how many other people out there like what I'm describing. If there were quite a few, maybe that would be an incentive? I know money talks, so I will say ahead of time, I could only say to you "thank you for your hard work and skills."
P.S.
I sent google a request for adding the choice of light or dark theme (and attachments) to google voice, but going by what other people have said, it is most likely falling on deaf ears.
This idea has tutorial project written all over it.
I imagine a more or less monochrome UI with most just solid blacks and not much in the way of gradients, very plain and basic.
I think it would be cool, I really like simplicity/minimalism.
What I mean by the tutorial comment is: For ANYONE even half way interested in learning how to theme and mod this would be a great place to start, for the following reasons..
- Most of the mods would be super easy, there is a wide variety of difficulty levels in theming and the easiest of them will be SIMPLE for anyone who has basic computer skills
- Learning to theme (if you enjoy this stuff) is fun because you build on what you know. It''s almost like a video game in that you do/learn things in levels. There is a dossier (guides, wiki's, google, other forum members, etc.) where you learn what you need to know before you begin the next level (achieving the mod you want to do). You fight through the pawns (editing images, xml's, smali's, etc) to get to the boss (flashing, morphing, testing your mod) and when you defeat the boss you have a sense of accomplishment that is almost immediately replaced with the next level
- The sheer simplicity of this themet lends it to being a community project
For anyone who wants to spend more "quality" time with this hobby and learn more about the platform I think this theme is a great opportunity
*edit- People collaborate a lot on this site and others but I've never personally seen a collaborative theme project. I wonder what the best way would be to (if anyone is interested in it) house everything in an open repository..
It is a desktop client (package management on the phone is another topic) that aggregates existing repositories (my own basic format - currently no APT or NuGet) and provides a way to distribute homebrew applications in a more convenient manner.
this looks great! but wheres the download file?
it said "This project has no releases."
As I said in the main post, the binaries are not there yet, but you can always compile the source code yourself. Binaries will be available this weekend.
Here is the latest changeset.
Looks really good.
Downloaded,compiled,ran,downloaded the test apps. IT WORKS!! Really nice concept. I do hope you make some documentation for it. For all I know, this could be the next big thing.
Thanks. Compiled it and ran it. Works.
What i'd like to see is some kind of
- rating.
- possible to not show only screenshots but maybe short videos to demonstrate app.
- possibility to upload also source code of the xaps, so developers can decide if they want to brew this app by themselves or install "unchecked" xaps
thanks so far. i think youre on a good way!
ps: i remember last year there were big discussions microsoft wanted allow homebrew and integrate this into marketplace. hello? chevron? hello? so hopefully youre work is not for nothing.
@amannigam @oOp thanks for the feedback! It works at a very basic level - many more improvements have to be made, but that's going to happen over the weekend.
What specific documentation would you need for it?
Also, ratings sounds like a good idea. The only thing is I need to think of is a way to write those to the repository the user is exposing. Or, I could simply create a central repo/pack-ID link database on my own server that will keep a record of app ratings (can cause some problems, but I am plainly thinking of a PoC now).
I appreciate the feedback!
mwang's post about the DFT 7220 release says that the ROM includes the ability to install XAP's over the net. Homebrew like this but on phone. Just thought you'd be interested in that.
Great concept! I'll have to join in on this. I'll be setting up a repository later on.
What I feel that this project can go a really long way. So try making docs for everything that is being added. So people never lose track of anything. Also info of how to create a repo and adding the repo to app will help them jump to it easy.
Looks great! c# WPF, nothing beats this.
1. The new Mango hack allows downloading and installing XAPS directly from the OS (without a PC connected). Maybe we can use the infrastructure of your PC app and make another mobile app?
2. How can I contribute?

Will try to do that. I will put together a tool to automatically create a repo in the next hours and will make it available by tomorrow. It will be bundled as a part of MetroPack. Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you all!
yes, pls make it into a phone app
Also tell us how can we contribute to the project. Yes we will test it. But apart from that if you need any help in development or anything. Do tell us.
the weekend is almost over and still no release?
And you have my full support also
Coming this evening (Central Time). Have to do some late adjustments and bug fixes.
Got done with the repository builder tool. I decided to integrate it with MetroPack, so it's work in progress now - you can see it as RepoDev, I need to port the rest tomorrow (bindings and actual export).
For those who do not want to download the source code, the binaries will be available here. The current binaries are very raw (functionality-wise it is a PoC). Once I integrate the repo builder tool, I will make sure that packages are actually installed on the device.
Also, if you are creating a repo, make sure you read this first:
http://metropack.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Creating a new repository
There is a breaking change related to the version format.
GREAT APP, cant wait till final build , I get force close error and cant use it for long , I want to donate some money , its not alot but all donations help.
it really has potential
I really appreciate your guys' feedback, but until there is a final release - no donations Thank you, though!
@confrontation - what were you doing to get a forced close?

Hi guys! I've been working on a library to connect your Android device with the incredible Xiaomi Mi Band. Why develop one and share it? Because I researched a lot and many others where struggling to do things just as I did.
It's been a long trip but fortunately this beta is ready to use. Some of the functionalities that can be found are:
Connect/Disconnect
Start/Stop vibration
Change led color
Notify (vibration with a custom led color)
Get the Battery information
It's really easy to use: just import it on gradle -> 1 line!
Of course, it's open source! I really hope people contribute to this project by forking it and not only download it and use the code. This is an area with a lot of potential.
Here's the link: github.com/ betomaluje/Mi-Band (sorry as I'm new, they don't let me post external links yet )
Hope you guys like it and give it a try!
wow! thanks!
Dope as hell! Let me try it
anyone can share the app file? would appreciate to test it.
Dear XDA members,
if you feel the same as the friends at https://postmarketos.org/ :
"We are sick of not receiving updates shortly after buying new phones. Sick of the walled gardens deeply integrated into Android
and iOS. That's why we are developing a sustainable, privacy and security focused free software mobile OS that is modeled after
traditional Linux distributions. With privilege separation in mind. Let's keep our devices useful and safe until they physically break!",
then it is time for you to step forward!!!
Last night initial support for the OPPO Find 7a was commited to the postmarketos pmaports git repo
https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports with commit https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/commit/1f8095771c4659d31e8b228dd85018e9ca9963ca.
It was a pain to get this committed as I'm not used to the git workflow, nonetheless with the help of the maintainers over there
and after deleting a few merge requests ( a no-no, don't do that!!) at the end we got it done.
At the moment the device port is only for the Find 7a for the simple reason that I own one but I'm sure it can be extended to the
Find 7 and Find 7s.
The answer to the question that you dear reader have in your mind now: "what works?" is easy: NOTHING WORKS YET!!!
The only thing working so far is that the kernel compiles, you can flash it or fastboot boot it, start a rootfs on the microsd card
and ssh into the system over a usbnet connection to look at all that lovely processes running.
Lots of work still needs to be done, I'm pretty shure that I will not be able to do this myself as my knowledge about the hardware
part of the device is minimal and I would need to reinvent the wheel for every little progress.
As I'm sure that there are still a lot of knowleadgeable develepers (THAT'S YOU!!!) lurking around this list my hope is to lure them
to contribute to this project.
I personally dream of the Find 7 running postmarketos and KDE plasma-mobile but even maemo would be ok!!!
Come on, let's do it!!!
Best regards,
farmatito

Screen and touchscreen working!!!
Still a lot of work to do. Help is appreciated!
Progress report
New package for installing various firmware blobs merged!
Next big thing should be to try to make video hardware acceleration work,
if there are any experts here help is appreciated!!!!.
Progress report
The attached photo shows my Find7a running the XFCE4 desktop.
The interface is fast enough even without hardware acceleration.
As the Desktop is not optimized for mobile devices it is not
a such a great user experience, but the basics work.
Still a lot of work to do, help is appreciated.
Progress report
Wifi Works!!! and you can browse the internet!!!
Help is still appreciated!!
No progress
This time there is no progress to report:
video acceleration not working yet due to the fact that the kernel is rather old (3.4.113), backporting newer drivers did not work out as the codebase differs to much (so no KDE plasma).
making the various sensors work is also rather difficult as the kernel uses a Device Tree and so even if there are drivers for the sensors you need some board specific info to create the device tree nodes.
last but not least the last version of xfce4 in alpine linux is not touchscreen friendly. GTK combo-boxes are now unusable (will eventually try maemo).
Help is very, very appreciated.
Saw this post, has a Find 7 and want to know more.
Hi everyone! I wonder when XDA team tries to hack the Samsung Galaxy S20 smart LED cover? Because there's no customization at all... if I want to have incoming calls icons and custom icons!
I'm also interested in this topic, I see a lot of potential in modifying the configuration of this case that in my opinion is great, you could do very interesting things, but first of all it would be good to know if you could do something without being root...
Providing some information
I've had some free time ... I have researched a little about how that app and the shell works, and I discovered some interesting things, at least I see it interesting (I want to clarify first of all that I have no idea how to program for android or how the apk works by issues of permissions signatures etc ...) to begin with, something that has shocked me a lot is that there is a part of programming for the figure of the cactus and there is no code inside, that figure does not appear.Then I have also seen that all the figures or icons programmed are with color #ffffff (pure white) ... seeing the tone of white that emits and seeing the color that the app sends to emit makes me think that the leds of the housing are RGB, maybe it is crazy to think that, but I do not know ... makes me suspicious. Finally I have modified the icon of the coffee changing it of color simply and when trying to save the apk it gives me an error of only reading, I understand that that apk cannot be saved or something I am doing badly... I would like that the community or somebody that it was controlling more helped us
