[Q] Need some help with a project - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, i know there has to be someone out there smarter than me that can make this work. My problem is i just dont really know where to even begin looking.
Im attempting to edit the Smileys that are used on our phone. I wanna create custom ones. Nothing crazy or fancy, just some PNG files that i have. Im sure there is a file/folder somewhere where i can edit the values for the smileys i just dont know where it is. Ive googled and searched through the forums but im coming up short.
If it is truly not possible, im willing to accept that, i just want the satisfaction of knowing i tried what i could to make it happen.
Thank you to anyone that can help in advance.

loking for a fully packed rom

it is not my intention to wast space or irritate people i have searche and searched 1. just to let you know i cant get the ppckitchen cause i got kicked out because of a misunderstanding with one of there (gods) 2. some of the kitchens here are cool but dont support gps and rev-a. so my question is can some one help me with this problem, am willing to donate for a custom rom or can some one help me find a fully packed rom,i have sprint service the only one i have ever found that is fully packed was nexvision's hulk rom, does anyone know of a rom like that and is available,please help, oh yeah i have searched and if you have somthing to say about searching at least tell me where to look with details instead of just telling me to do more searchin please, tha\nk you for any help just to let anyone thinking i want a free ride without out doing any work, that is not my intention i am very willing to learn and to be patient in the process i would just appreciate anyone refering me to certain info to keep in mind that i dont always understand the language and that just because there is a definition to certain terms and meaning's i dont always get the meaning so anyone giving me info please have patience with me on alot how things are explained, thank you
Personally, I use a "Clean" ROM to help with storage space and other reasons. Some ROMs have things you may not want or need, and apps are always updated, so no sense in having two of the same thing. Plus it gives you more room for customization.

Nex's hulk rom is the only fully packed one that I know of. Since you've obviously found it, why are you looking for something else?

i would like to cook my own rom but i cant ever get anyone to give me details in lamens terms, im not slow its just that i see things in a physical form better than verbally or written and all i keep getting are links to the same info or when i give details on what i need help with they say that i dont tell them what i am looking for but some times they only read part of my thread or i dont know how to talk the language so i end up searching for custom roms, and i would start off with a clean one but it seems i can never remember the name of the apps or games that i want to put in them and the other thing is some people are able to pack in more stuff on there roms than others and they still run smooth and whe i add thing on a clean rom i can only get about a third or half of what they get in there roms before i run out of useable memory and to keep it running smooth
I tried cooking my own ROM, but in the end went to OMJ's ROM. I spent about 2 months trying to cook a ROM I liked and worked well. But, it is VERY time consuming, and you'll end up constantly flashing to fix something, add a tweak or 2, or add the newest package. Most of the "tutorials" for cooking can be vague, since there are far too many things involved, depending on what it is your planning to do. But, I would suggest finding one that fits you best and leaving it to the pro's. I'm not trying to say you can't do this, but the only real way to find your answers, is through simple trial & error.
well CHAMP can you lend me yer knowledge and lead me to a stable rom thats clean and maybe has touchflo and manilla2d and a good place to find the worlds biggest post for cab files so i can start my trial and error preferably with gps and rev-a,and i have heard of a mention somewhere about a manilla3d but havnt really been able to find any info on it maybe you could help even though i will continue to look myself, oh yeah a rom that still has a crap load of memory i think i saw one that had up to 160 or 170 of storage memory but cant remember where i saw it , thanks
my advice is to cook with vetvitos kitchen he has the some of the latest releases and has a simple kitchen to use that includes touchflo and manilla 2d and the thread is in this very section.

i did try his kitchen i kept on getting lots of errors in the part after you make the selections and it starts processing what i selected but i couldn't fix all of them so i left it alone
did you try nexvisions manilla rom. its packed and is very good. I know you had an issue with him in the irc chat but his roms are good and im sure it was just a misunderstanding. here is a link to his rom thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=31344
hope this helps.

I was trying to help you. I don't know what the problem between you and Nex is, but if you don't state what happened, I sure can't help you there.
You don't need the kitchen to flash a ROM, so your reasoning is flawed. You did not state the link you found was dead...I naturally assumed you downloaded it and were now on a quest for similar feature packed roms.
Finally, like I said, there aren't any other ROMs like Nex's Hulk ROM. You can stop looking for something so packed - you won't find anything.

I can't understand what you are trying to say. What do you mean when you say "no matter what link I use the ppckitchen wont even load". Use small words, go slow, and preferably use pictures.
ok im back from my vacation and have been diong som searching, can someone teach me how to make a fully packed rom and i mean packed and that will be stable and dont expect it to be super fast but atleast not slow or slugish anyone out there up to help me
LOL.
He has no idea what he is talking about. Nex ROM are just a *.nbh file.
He is trying to flash it with nothing other than the nbh file. Obviously it didnt work. LOL
Until he learn how to read what people tells him he wont get it.

Honestly no one is going tot take the time to teach you how to make a ROM, you're gonna have to learn yourself through trial and error or else you need to try a ROM that someone else has made...There are plenty of these out there fully packed as well as clean with a clean ROM you can dl your own programs all you want and do the things that you would like to do to the ROM...Full ROM's are pretty packed and you can still add all the things that you would like...But ROM cooking will have o be something that you need to learn on your own by reading tutorials such as reading this :http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=25529
this thread will teach you how to customize a ROM that is already built add/remove all thanks goes to " rstoyguy "
So give it a shot.

i have know idea what you are talking about, because of course you cant flash a .nbh file by itself so yeah why would it work, and until i learn how to read what people tell me, well excuse me i didnt realize some people were born with this knowledge right out of the womb, i on the other hand am not so lucky so when im learning somthing new i have to ask people to have time and patience with me so that i can begin to understand and then learn to take some of these steps on my own, so if you have nothing positive to give i would appreciate it if you would let me continue my studies with someone who is willing to help

yeah i have seen that and am still learning, but i may have stated myself wrong, cause after searching and asking alot i realize that time is very precious and little, i am just looking for someone to help me with steps involved in some of these processes cause alot of the tutorials can be kind of vauge and its not just me even some of the more advanced people have found this to be true also, they will sometimes just sometime jump to certain parts without saying how to get there or mention crtain things with out being more detailed and when i try to search to find out i cant find it, so i end up asking questions that people say that are out there and to search but alot of the time cant get someone to poiunt me into the right dirction except to where tutorials are and then say ive been there and then some one who knows what they are doing will post somthing and my need for help gets lost in the thread, but thank you for at least replying with somthing positive instead of trying to make me look like a tard
I think what they are trying to say is you need to spend more time reading and learning. In the mean time I would try out OMJ's rom as it has m2d, is fairly packed and is very stable imo.. but there are many other VERY good roms out there I just happen to prefer OMJ's for what I use my ppc for.
It takes a long time to learn all this stuff, I joined here on 2/26/08 and I only have two posts.. I joined ppcgeeks about the same time and I have about 100 posts.. I wish I could contribute more and help out but my schedule doesnt allow me to get too involved unfortunately. Although in that time (almost a YEAR) Ive learned how to build a rom with the ppckitchen kitchen and a ton of other stuff that I never knew you could do with a ppc..lol
It says you just joined in september and im not bashing you in anyway but heck flash one of the roms that one of these skilled chefs made and enjoy your phone for now while you take the time to learn..
Re-read your post again and you will realiase why you are such an idiot and no wonder nex and others just ignore you. You are nothing but arrogant and stupid. People give you advise and you just run right by without reading and then complain why people dont help you at ppcgeeks because you give the same kind of attitude you just give me. People keep teaching you how to flash his rom but you just keep ignoring them and complaining why it cannot be flashed instead of just listening. Learn to be humble. Learn to read and follow instructions. 'nuff said

need a developer

need a developer for windowsmobile
I can develop apps, but as a general rule of thumb, simply saying you need a dev is not going to get you many responses...
Please, be specific as to what you want done so that you can get Dev's that can actually do what you want!
Anywho, what is it that you want? Maybe I can do it...

Give us lots more information so we can help. I understand you may want to keep it to yourself, but you won't get much help if you do. It's difficult to answer a question that has little detail.
But he knows not what he wants

It sounds to me like he's trying to develop an app and has some problems, so I'd imagine he does know what he wants. Sounds like he just doesn't want someone pinching his idea.

Fontpatch edition.cab,Defaults CPR files.cab,zuneHD_StartUp&StartMenu&IconsEdition.cab,htc_homescreen.cab,ZuneHD_Settings Editions.cab these are the cabs
forgot one more thing if you want to to improve my theme you would need this cab file name htc homescreen,htc diamond home and htc homedition
From reading that, you need someone who's a theme modder. I'm an app developer, so I can't help mate.
Good luck.

Why havent we just made an app that is a copycat of AOSP dialer/contacts?

In another attempt of having a stable phone, with the AOSP dialer/contacts/messaging...
I know we have a few [stable, but sorta not stable] roms that are AOSP related,
I understand so much code can/cant be transfered from Sense into making an AOSP Rom, and I understand that. im an older C+ / VB programmer, and understand trying to make something out of decompiled code is a *****, so ...
instead of trying to make a rom that is all converted over,
why hasn't anyone, in the time of Hero/Sense, all the way till now,
hasent anyone just made an app that is coded/looks just like the regular
AOSP Dialer/contact/messaging stuff?
Not to completely replace our phones dialer and what not, but still id end up clicking this "made up" app before I would click my regular dialer icon..
I mean, there are plenty of apps that read our call logs, contacts list
stock dialer/contacts dont look too complicated, is it the layout that would be hard?
Are there any developers that read this? Can anyone lead me in the right direction? Like, list of APIs/whatever type of stuff that is called from in Android coding? Im no stranger to code, but i know nothing about android coding / java.
But again, can anyone send me the right direction? I understand get the Android SDK emulator and what not, but i dont feel like following slow moving tutorials for hello world widgets.
Ill be more than happy to do this day and night, to get desired results.
I dont think im asking too much, and I could make this a way longer explanation.
Thanks again to anyone / everyone thats willing to help, or that is interested.
Really? No one?
Just shed some light for me, come onn
why not extract some .apk's from a working ROM that has the aosp elements and putting them into another ROM you want to transfer them from? i dunno thats where i would start before trying to copy whats already created basically.
Can't you just push the mms.apk and contacts.apk from aosp via adb? I coulda sworn it worked on my hero

[Q] Can someone port this?

Hi.
I hope it is the right place to post this.
I was hoping someone could port this theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574139
For the Desire or make a theme copying the style. Mostly opendesire or Defrost.
I really like the Buuf style as I use it in ubuntu and ADW launcher. But I lack the skills and the knowledge to make a theme or port it.
(I don't know which image files does what...)
Thanks in advance. And I hope you can help me.
-Simon
No one. no
Well if someone could atleast point to a tutorial on what which picture file does what I guess I will see if I can do it myself. (And maybe a little on how it works. I have ubuntu.)
Hi
Unfortunatley you aren't going to get much advise on this here, I too like a theme but it is not for my phone it's for T-Mobile Pulse.
I too wanted my theme ported as I do not have the skills, I'm fine with photoshop but its knowing which images and xml code need changing. Also photoshop PSD template would be great.
But I guess there are no tutorial or anyone willing to create one. I'm doing my own research but haven't yet found anything useful. i'll let you know if I get anywhere.
Good Luck mate but I think we are on our own with this one
Thanks for answering. And think you are right about the "on our own" part. I guess I'll have to find a tutorial on which files to edit and then make my own theme. If you find anything. Could you please give me a PM?
Sent from something using the internet.
Just thought I'd let you know that I managed to port the theme I wanted, not too bad but is not perfect stills some issues.
Shame there are no PSD templates. please see thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7730046#post7730046
The problem is that theme is ugly and childlike no offence but it is.
This puts people off porting themes as there will be only one or two people that will actually like it and use it. What rom are you currently using? I may have a go at porting it tomorrow when i have some spare time. Not sure how much of it i would be able to do. I'm new to all this stuff too!
Lol.
I know It's childish. But so am I
I am shifting between defrost 2.9a, opendesire 3.3.0 and cyanogenmod rc2.
So if you have time, you can deside.

xml file tied to rosie layout?

i am so completely frustrated right now!!! ive been looking for this xml for hours.
Basically, i've designed my own rosie buttons, pressed and rest, and i've made sure everything lines up with the image, everything on that end is perfect, but when i flash it on my phone, they're all offset funny, and instead of butting right up against eachother, theres space that i dont want, and it just plain looks like crap.
I have searched and searched for an xml file relating to the layout of the rosie, and cant find it, can anyone please help me solve this problem, then i'll be glad to share my rosie with the world as soon as its finished
This belongs in the Q&A section. In short, yes there is an .xml that needs to be edited...I just dont remember off hand which one...
I apologize about that, i thought that since i was developing this for my rom that i would be able to post in android development. I know theres an xml file for it, I just need to know which one, thats all.
Moderators, is there any way you can move this to q & a, i really dont want it to get locked or deleted, i just need a little help
