Hey Guys,
Ok, so I was inspired a bit by a Steampunk website to make a dialer that's a little more 'old fashioned'. It's for CM 4.1.11.1 and I quite liked it. I haven't made screenshots yet, but I a mock-up of the dialer. It's what you should see on your device. I took the dial portion from Chrome by Moonspoon as I didn't have the patience to finish it before sending it out!
Check it out, and let me know what you think! IF YOU HAVE IDEAS LET ME KNOW!
Installation: You must adb push the contacts.zip into your CM 4.1.11.1 to make it work.
For adding it to your phone from a COMPUTER WITH ADB try:
Code:
adb push C:\%SAVEDPATH%\Contacts.zip /system/app/Contacts.apk
For adding it on your phone, try:
Code:
mount sdcard
mount system
cp /sdcard/Contacts.zip /system/app/Contacts.apk
(or try [B]mv[/B] if [B]cp[/B] doesn't work)
reboot
You shouldn't need to rename it, you can do it all in one command like I did.
Thanks david1171 for the code for on the phone and the compliment
INCLUDES:
Only the dialer
first off, that button looks amazing. like i will have to use it later on today it looks so great.
i don't know if these terminal commands will work (i will test them when i try this), in the recovery console (with file on root of sdcard (also you should tell them to change the .zip extension to .apk)
Code:
mount sdcard
mount system
cp /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk
(or try [B]mv[/B] if [B]cp[/B] doesn't work)
reboot
i will report back later today on this.
Nice!
Hey, thanks for the compliment! I updated the OP with your code.
sweet. i thought you had to rename the extension if you were pushing it, cool learn something new everyday
Sounds interesting but, can anyone up a screenshot?
Pleeeease.
How to?
Anyone know how all the themers are making screenshots? I'd make one if I knew how... And ya, I searched. Maybe my -fu isn't as good as it should be??

if you have the sdk and adb set up you can use ddms in the tools folder of the sdk or you can get screenshot off of the market. one is free, the other isn't. i have both but use ddms because i can save the pictures directly to my computer and i find it a little easier to use in most scenarios

Ya, I have the sdk installed now, however it's not allowing me to take the screenshot in ddms. Framebuffer failure? Anyway, that's fine. I'm going to work on another version as well that kind of looks like a gold/bronze typewriter thingy with similar font...anyone is welcome to make a screenshot or suggestions. I don't think I want to make a whole theme, just a better dialer then the ugly stock one...so I added a mock-up of the dialer. Why spend a hour fixing something when you only need 5 minutes in paint?
There isn't really anything...Victorian about it. Or Steampunk, for that matter. It's just a script font -- and a lot of black.

My thoughts exactly.
is there a way to make it look like a Rotary Dial phone? i think that would make it look pretty interesting.
Re-read OP
Like I said above, it will eventually look like something from an old typewriter. Sue me for wanting to release it early. As for the rotary dialer, that's wicked! However, not possible without making a whole new app. *shrug*
Last night I just held my S2 at shoulder level half way back in one of my wife's concerts in a 12th century abbey here in France, and to my complete surprise the "voice recorder" has produced the most superb recording when I was about half way back in the room (swallows and bats flying around as well!).
Only one problem.
I can send the file to my box.net site and everyone can download and listen using Apple Quick Time, but the French would love to convert to mp3.
I can't seem to find a programme that does it.
Thanks for any help.

May work for you to change 3ga to mp3
Hi,
This isn't very technical, however, I just changed the file extension from .3ga to .mp3 . I just gave it a try out of frustration and it now plays as an mp3 on all of my devices.
be sure to copy the file and then change the file extension on the copied file in case it doesn't work for you.
Hope it helps.
Hi major c,
I had the same problem a few days ago. I solved the 3ga to mp3 converting problem and wrote a small HowTo. I used the programm "3GP to MP3 Converter".
Here you will find a short description how to convert 3ga to mp3 files.
Hope this helps you,

While this method allowed me to play the file, I still couldn't edit it, since it's not actually an mp3 file. I tried the SUPER converter software suggestion posted earlier. Great conversion software that is completely free and supports the .3ga format (as well as many others). Worked for me.
thanks for links to super and formatoz otherwise I would be going around in circles.
got here via google!
I FIND GOOD WAY to make the file.3ga work just change 3ga to 3gp and play with windows media player ver 12 it work very good

I arrived here via google..
I had a 58 minute file that needed to convert, and although changing the extension did allow me to play the file on the computer, it began after the 12 or 15 min to have blank spaces in the audio (like if I pressed "mute" for a second every 20 or 30 seconds).
The solution with SUPER erightsoft did worked perfectly, dropped the file, selected mp3 and reenconded it in 10 minutes. I just played the entire file and it doesn't has any gaps or blank spaces.
Thanks!

Nice, renaming it worked. Go figure!!
any custom ringtone i try on the phone, whether .ogg .mp3 .wav will only ring once and stop repeating during the call, however the phone keeps vibrating on
stock tones work fine
another sidebug: if you have no bars and try to make a call, the phone gives you error saying to turn off airplane mode which it's not in
wtf??
I have the same issue
same here.. I want my custom ringtone to be used on my new GN
I've found that myself...
MP3 ringtones won't repeat.
It will loop ringtones if you convert the mp3 to OGG format, and in the file info (you can edit this in Winamp for example), create a field called ANDROID_LOOP and set the value to TRUE.

Where do you store the ogg file to use it for custom ring tones?

Funnily enough, in the folder called "ringtones" when you connect it up to your PC.
There's a seperate folder for notifications...
and there's also a seperate folder for alarms!
Fun isnt it?

Interesting, so they're forcing us to use the OGG format.
Will the created field work on a regular MP3?

I don't use winamp, but itunes.
How can i edit the file info?
I can edit information about title, album, author..
Could someone post a screenshot of the created field with winamp ?
Same issue here with a mp3 again as above.
Will try to create and edit the ogg later.
Oh, I cannot imagine OGG format can solve the problem. Before I see this, I write a really little app to solve the problem.
Cyclic Ringtone
http://market.android.com/details?id=thinkpanda.cyclicringtone
Yes, sucks that it doesn't loop.
You guys can always use a program called "goldwave" to lengthen your mp3's. Copy and paste the mp3 until it's as long as you need...

No, I did not dismiss your solution. On the contrary, I do really appreciate the OGG+ANDROID_LOOP way to solve the ringtone issue I apologize if I give you an impression that I don't like it.
It just turn out that I see this thread after I have finished the app...
As a ordinary user point of view, I like your solution more than mine. But there are scenarios that it is not always easy to convert a ringtone to OGG from MP3 and add a flag on the street. (may be someone develop an app for that? )
I found it easier to convert the file in Audacity and in the save dialog box you can add a new field called ANDROID_LOOP and set it to 'True'
Worked fine
Thank you all for the very useful information I have found in this thread. I have a question though: is this also applicable for alarms, or just for actual ringtones? TIA

I was "served" with this issue too with my brand new Galaxy Nexus. The ring tones I use are already in OGG format, just lacked the ANDROID_LOOP tag. Instead converting them again with Audacity, I found a little proggie which can just edit the tags. Here is a link to the download location - http://www.gausi.de/flogger-en.html
Sources are included as well as pre-compiled version (just exe to start - no installation or anything - very simple). Precompiled one is in German, but isn't difficult to figure out. Worked for me like a charm to make my ring tones looping. Thanks for the ANDROID_LOOP tip!!!

hmm...not sure about alarms, the ones i took off my old N900 repeat OK when the alarm goes off so i dont know if it's just rings tones, why not give it a try and see for youself?
Not like you have to wait for your usual alarm to test it!
And for the linux guys (like me) this is a simple batch command that will convert a mp3 file to a an ogg auto-repeat ringtone:
mpg321 custom_ringtone.mp3 -w raw && oggenc raw -c "ANDROID_LOOP=TRUE" -o custom_ringtone.ogg ; rm -f raw
Anyone got an mp3 version? Windows Phone 8 can't play ogg files
Look into a freeware program called Audacity.
Should be able to make the conversion easily.
I'm at work or I'd just whip it up for you.

Hi
This is my first post and I hope that I have posted to the write forum!
I have a rooted Note II phone and I pulled the Candy crush APK down to my PC.
I have decompiled the APK and compiled the APK and signed the APK. I have copied the new APK down to the phone, installs OK but runs it stays on the Home Page and crashes.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong, I have not change anything just decompiling and compiling /signing and testing.
This is what I have done so far:
1. APKTOOL d Candy.apk
2. APKTOOL b Candy Candy2.apk
3. java -jar SignApk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 Candy2.apk Clash2Signed.apk
4. Copied to phone, installed OK but stays on the home page.
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks
Paul
if it is an app with online functions, may be failing a signature check since the original developers signature is replaced.
What are you trying to do? Hack it for 1000 lives, 200 moves, no tickets and slow timer?

I think I have found the problem but still seeking a solution, looking at the log file I am seeing the following error:
E/FictionFactory( 9936): Trying to seek in a file which probably is compressed! This is not possible. Either remove the seeking or add the file to the list of extensions which should not be compressed.
Any ideas?

Look at the original apk and your new one, and make sure anything that isn't compressed in the original is not compressed in the new one as well. I've seen issues like this come up w/ .ogg files in the /res/raw/ directory, but it could exist anywhere really.

Thank you finally got it to work!!!
The issue was pretty straight forward, all the tutorials that I have seen have always steered me decompile, compile and sign which has not worked for me so far.
The way I got around this was to add my changes to the original APK file, resign it and hey it worked.
