SPB Shell 3d on the Elocity a7 - A7 Themes and Apps

I want to run this app on my a7, but it doesn't support tablets technically.
Is there anything that I can modify in my build.prop to get this to run correctly??
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried it? There are tons of apps out there that don't "technically" support tablets but work just fine.

$15 FOR A LAUNCHER#[email protected]#%?!?!?!
Good god man, thats over the edge of sanity. At $5 I would still be hesitant to buy, but probably would anyway. But now way in hell for $15.

It is alot of money I certainly agree, but man it's sexy. I'd also use it on at least 3 devices, as I have a D1 and 2 other tablets (a7 and archos a70)
I tried it quickly, and have a friend using it. Very aesthetically pleasing, and some pretty useful functionality. I figured with no Honeycomb on the horizon this would be a nice UI fix on the a7 in the meantime.
And yes, I tried on the tablet, and it won't run... it FC's. Although I see no reason it couldn't, the resolution is the typical smartphone res.

I may just rip the build.prop signature from my moto droid or find the atrix signature and push that to my tablet's build.prop. Worst case is I have to reflash the elocimod...

pretty sure those build prop mods youre thinking about; changing build fingerprint, is for accessing apps in the market. that setting shouldnt have anything to do w program execution. or was there another setting you were thinking of?

Well I was thinking I could trick the device into not reporting as a compal naz 10. The a7 doesn't have a different resolution than most smartphones so I figured it should run on the tablet.
If they plan to update then I can probably wait.

I tried SPB Shell 3d today on my A7 and it works great as is. A few little annoying things I couldn't figure out, like how to get rid of the phone icon on the launch bar, but otherwise, nice. Not my personal favorite but I'm keeping it for a bit to play with.

Just press and hold the phone icon and it will bring up your apps, you choose one to replace it. And the blank spaces on that bar if you press and hold those you can select more apps (up to four in the bar) The animations are sweet. Of course if I turn tablet off then I lose SPB as an option for launcher and have to unistall and restore my titanium back up or atleast restore data.

Are you running a version of DexMod or stock?
Was there an update for tablet??

I'm running DexMod 1.41 with all patches

Hope that solved youir issue with it not working after you purchased it.

mmm, is your licensing issue just about the restrictions for tablets, or does that circumvent paying for the app?
pretty sure thats not encouraged around here.

I'm not posting anything new not hard to find if you look around.
by the way I'm guessing adding gapps to a device google didn't authorize to have it is much different. Just my opinion, but alot of developement seems to be done in grey areas. That app wasn't designed to work on tablets. And how about the person who paid for it and it doesn't work.

@rombold; yeah, we all know about gapps, and its obviously promoted for use on this forum and every other forum regardless of google contracts or licenses. but its also a private developer forum that generally doesn't encourage screwing the little developers.
no need to get butt hurt for being called on promoting warez/bypassing paying for a small developers app.
heres some help for you;

Wow, calm down there. He just posted text describing the process. He didn't post links to pirated apps, any app specific methods.
Seriously, your going rule nuts like you want him banned or something.

Only thing I have been trying to do as I mention previously is assist someone who purchased this and was screwed had you of followed this forum you might have realized that. Thank evo! Hardybutt hurt butt did get a laugh out of you.

i did follow the thread, thats why i asked the intent of your instructions, as they can be taken and used out of context.
you thought personal attacks were somehow more productive than answering the question.
enjoy the attention, kid.
netstat; yeah, bypassing licensing restrictions is supplying instructions that bypasses the need to purchase the app, its up there in quotes, just so you know i'm not assuming or talking out of my ass. no ones asking for a banning, just to observe the posted rules on the forum so we can all keep enjoying it.
sorry if you dont share the same opinion.

[Q] Any proper Dev's here? Fancy a small challenge ?

*sigh*.. It's like asking for permission to ask a question. You'd be best off asking here directly.. Developers tend to have different strengths and weaknesses

You should at least describe what kind of app is that
If I were to say openly then it would give someone else the opportunity to make the same app and the Dev (if there is one) who would agree to make it wcould lose out even if only on the credit for making it.
Im guessing in order to get help you can't automatically presume that most developers are d*cks who steal ideas from other people.
Now you are putting words into my mouth. Not really helpful that. Though the vast majority are not there is always a small number who plagiarise as is seen in the market. Now may I thank you for your comments as I await an answer.
I'm guessing you wont pay them either? I think developers might be reluctant if they feel that after hearing it, they might get in trouble for deciding they wont go ahead (I've been in that situation before)
As a developer... what? I have no idea what you're on about.
If you want a developer you need to:
1. Make available information about what you want developed.
2. Pay someone (a reasonable sum), or have a genuinely interesting project. The later being substantially less likely than the former.
Yeah...even if I pm'd you for information, and then decided I can't proceed on developing it... isn't it the same? I would have heard your idea anyway, so you're better off saying it directly. ;-)
Or... you could apply for a patent on it if you fear there are lots of thieves here lmao

OK thanks for all the replies I will put my idea to a Dev forum that welcomes them.
Guys, please try and keep this on-topic without resorting to flaming the moment I close this tab.
@OP, XDA is all about sharing and working together to achieve common goals. As a result, developers here tend to work best when others can get involved. This kind of post pops up now and then, but these ideas usually end up unfulfilled due to the lack of information available.
And remember this is people's hobby, not necessarily their job, so most people aren't about to commit to making an app when they have no idea what it is. If it's not interesting to them, they likely won't want to do it.
awww sulky wulky. Hey any devs wanna build an app for me? I'm selling it but won't pay for it, and have no way of supporting it further down the line? No? Didn't think so. Flan.

How would you know if the developer that you share the idea will not simply use it for his own profit?
This is xda-developers (a developer community) and I never heard about a case of stolen ideas here.
If you'd like to find some help implementing an idea, you should at least describe the developer profile, technologies,...
i.e. I'm looking for a developer to build a simple 2D game that connects to a website to load pictures using http protocol.... No previous experience required, All source code should be sent to me and I'll share the profits.... please PM me for details.
You can try rent-a-coder and, for a fee you have your idea implemented.
Your arrogance is not welcome here pal.
Good luck with your idea.
I make a post offering to give someone my idea for an app that if they can make they can do what they like with and I get flamed for it. I am not a Dev, I am very new to Android OS. I see a need and think someone may find it easy to meet that need so try to make it known so an individual may even if the want profit from it. And for this I get called arrogant and told I am not welcome.
And as for the trolling I will not comment.

good luck, you won't find any! you come here asking for someone willing to do some stuff for you you won't tell them about before they agree to do it? lol! why should ANYONE agree to that. i, for one, am not interested on this conditions. also, this here (xda & android) is about community development, open source and therefore open ideas where everyone can profit.
if you wan't to sell the app then hire some dev for 20$/h but then you are indeed @ the wrong place here. otherwise just tell everyone about your idea and IF it's interesting, some people might pick it up...
Go and ask an iPhone dev if you wanna behave like that...not because youd fit in being a wanker but because they're much more commercially minded. It's funny in your original post you kinda imply most people working in this section and putting out material are not 'proper devs'. This is xda and this is open...people suggest apps all the time and people make it for free and maybe include ads or small charge to cover there costs, see lag fix, noled and galaxy s sim unlocker on market. You can be like the idea makers from there and just go 'that covers my needs and it's cool' or you can merrily skip along to an iPhone dev who is all profit.

So let's make it clear: you are offering the dev the idea and if he realizes it, all profits would go to him? He will publish it and everything? So why don't tell it straight away, if it's interesting someone will do it. Even if 2 or 3 people do it, there will be 2 or 3 apps for the same purpose. So what? How many im clients or gps navigation software are on the market, and still coming out? Do you think only one of them is getting money and the others don't? Users also like to have choice...
However you should at least tell what kind of skills are required? 2/3d gaming? Databases? Web connection? Kernel hacking? I think even if you aren't a developer yourself it shouldn't be difficult answering these questions... at least you are selecting potential candidates... that would be the minimum requisite for posting such requests, how can I know if I could do it if I don't even know what skills are required? Not all developers have the same background you know...

You are not going to dev it by the sounds of it, so it is really not up to you to keep such a project closed, isn't that exactly what you are asking to happen anyway? ( have another dev make it for you. )
You are coming on a forum, asking if any dev is willing to work on a secret project... ?
If there is money involved, and thus a reason for secrecy, do mention it.

[Q] ...How Do I root it?

Maybe I'm blind, but I'm searching all over the dev forum for the incredible 2, there are no official links that explain how to root the phone. Please help, thank you.
I would think that if have been searching you would have read that there is no way to do a software root. You probably would have also read that you can buy an XTC clip to achieve S=Off.
Is this just temporary or will there be a way to software s-off? I'm sorry I have been searching and reading I just don't understand I'm a noob the original incredible was easy to do cause I used unrevoked
Again, if you had been reading, you might have come across a thread that discusses the software method of S=Off.
link me please?
to answer your question... no there is no software unlock yet. It is coming, it has been verified to work and has been done to a few testers.
there is no ETA.
if you need it now, buy an xtc clip and you can unlock it immediately.
lastly, this should be in general, not development.
thanks brah
Sit tight bro. Root will be here soon enough. Add the the thread to your favorites this way you can stay up to date on any news. As for being a noob don't let some of these cats intimidate you with there snooty replies. I'm sure they were never noobs.

There is life beyond the message board, you might want to have a look.
I understand that this is a matter of semantics, but the I2 was rooted long ago...with software. What we're lacking is an unlock to allow root to be permanent (persistent through reboots). You can root now and gain many of the benefits (and problems) of root if you really want to without paying a dime.
Now if you want to use custom firmwares, that requires unlocking. This can be done with a piece of hardware that is available now, or a piece of software that everyone is still waiting on.

I have done some searching and have found two possible routes. One is AlpharevX (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132920&page=40) and the other is with the Rebel XTC (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156534&page=5).
The sites are http://alpharev.nl/x/beta/, and http://www.xtcclip.com/.
AlphaRev is still beta though they claim no bricks reported so far. Since it is Beta you are supposed to interactively get a Beta key from their site to activate the software. This key is generated only if it 'likes' the serial number. The latter by the looks of it is a hardware tool which loads on your sd-card. If you go the alpha route then you must manually download and install the viow version of CWM! Still waiting for Unrevoked!

Is there an APP to swap touchpad controls to dpad?

Some games I don't enjoy playing on the touchpad and I think it would be better on the dpad. Is there an app out there that can change the mapping?
Thanks.
I'm assuming you're referring to EA games, and no there is no app and there likely won't ever be.
They're completely different inputs,so no.

Cut the attitude pal. You don't know squat about what I've done for anyone, nor do you know anything of what he does as you just said. I don't care about your opinion or how you class him. While I wouldn't classify myself as a dev (for this device) I do post quite a bit here and try to help (except when people continue to push out stupidity). Point being though his contribution or mine has nothing to do with the point of my post.
My point was dev or not posts like that get taken on a run by this place. its why we have so many threads that won't die about how the PLAY is going to have Native PSP emulation and crap like that.

technically a Android dev is anyone who has created something for Android well I have created apps for Android although for personal use.
well I never said it was simple, I am creating a programme for windows and I decided I wanted to add a feature so I did. now I need to work out how to make it work. same principal.

I will apologize and say my original post was a brash and I should have explained myself better, the second part of my reply to DeanBoro is what I really meant.
My point is the same, I've made android programs too, but have no idea what would go into trying this (I haven't taken a look at the SDK at all).
Posting "it could be done" with out some sort of backup is what I am pointing out. If you're gonna post something like that do some research. You said yourself you don't dev for this phone either so you don't know how. Otherwise as I said the dreamers will have it already working and 30 posts on it in a week.

not to sure who this was directed at but. I will apologize to. sorry. I dev for this phone although only things I need like a App for my website or something. I didn't say I could or couldn't do it. But I did say it possible cause any one could see it is possible, a App could read and redirect movements however it would require skills and may not work in general use like gaming due to lag many apps already do this do this but not for touchpads. I don't. need to do research cause essentially it is possible.

I was apologizing to you, and thank you.
I believe anything is possible with the right programming. Feasible on the other hand is a different story, and in this case it could be simple or something that just plain isn't worth the time you'd need to put in.
Just leaving an open ended "but it is possible" from someone such as yourself that has stature in this community can lead to what I said, which just leads to more and more useless posts here (not by you).

Awww, everyone made up!
Anyways...
It would be possible, just like it would be possible to redirect dpad to touchscreen.
You would need root.
All input/output goes through /dev/input/eventXX
You would make a service which reads from eventXX and when it receives something translate it and put it in eventYY.
The problem is that this is not part of the SDK, so what works for one device, will not work with another.
Or you can make your own IME (input method), that its part of the SDK. No root required.
This its how Change Shoulder Buttons and OnLive Helper work.

Mind you as I said before I'm not experienced in programming with this phones SDK, but the "analog" touchpad controls basically mimic "analog" touchscreen inputs (I put analog in quotes because we all know its not really analog), but those controls operate differently than simple key inputs (such as the camera helper) that remaps a specific coordinate event input to a button.
I would think that the IME way would be the only way that this (in theory) could actually work. But that I would assume also depend on how the game in question handles inputs. As we have seen some games are far different than others.

Wish i had the dollars to give you, then this whole nightmare would finally be over...

Please quit with the audio-default-enabled ads that autoplay

Hey guys
Please Q/A your ads setup. Playing audio enabled auto-play ads is extremely annoying and beyond acceptable.
Let's keep both of us happy and un-adblocked.
thanks
Do you mean on the site or the app? I always have my speakers turned off on my machine at work, which is generally the only time I'm not on XDA using the app, so I never noticed sound in the ads.
I hate that sh#t though--especially when I'm at work and not trying to draw attention to the fact that I'm taking a break from working to spend time on XDA.
At any rate, the XDA Premium app is well worth the $1.49 to not have to deal with ads (or having to use ad-blockers to get rid of it)...

they are on the laptop/pc and are insanely annoying, watching something else while on xda (i.e. rooting video) and the dishwasher tablet advert starts up out of nowhere with me left thinking "WHAT!!!!??? WHAT KIND OF IDIOT DECIDED TO PLAY THAT!!!!"
Please take a screen shot of the offending ads and post here or pm a senior member of staff. We generally don't like this crap either..

i will post them here, thanks for the advice
edit: Here's the first of many culprits,
...and another one
....and another one
What is this???
Why are the adverts starting with audio enabled?
Seriously I've been using this site for many years and can't believe you guys would stoop so low...
Yes you need Ad Revenue but this is clearly taking the piss.

I'm getting one for Vanish carpet cleaner over and over, it just won't stop!!
Also the option of creating an acc with Skipit so I don't have to listen to it and all I have to do is pay a dime every time I skip an add !!! WTF??? I have to PAY not to listen to this rubbish.. You have got to be joking !
And I've just found that the pause and mute only work for 30 seconds and then the buttons don't do anything and the adds just play and play with no way of stopping them or shutting them up.

Please do it quick as it is [email protected]~king ANNOYING
Hello Mr. Fridgeman,
Please, why don't you try to relax yourself for a moment and let us work on this issue?
Using this kind of attitude it is of any help, we are working on it but, since we aren't the direct culprit for this kind of ads, things may takes some time to solve.
And please, use a differente language
Thanks.

I'm not blaming the site admin's, it's clearly some moron advertiser sneaking this rubbish in.
It's not there all the time, which will make finding it that much harder. Its seems to kick in at random times?

Yeah, what is going on in these advertisers head?
"Hey let's annoy the living daylights out of possible customers, that way we are sure not to get any customers."
What's worse is that people will install ad-blockers causing sites to lose revenue, couldn't you theoretically sue the bastards for doing this?
I haven't actually encountered sound ads here, though I have on other websites which is really annoying when you are working with 60+ tabs. (can get as high as 400 but then its just because I haven't been cleaning them).
I might have found a work round, or I might have just not had this come up today (or the site might have fix it?)..
If you right click on the add and pick 'Settings' from the Flash options at the bottom (not Global settings) and reduce the amount of local storage allowed to zero it may stop the add running...
All I can say is, I did that yesterday and I haven't had it run again (yet!).
You might have to restart your browser (I'm running FF)...
I was wrong. It doesn't stop it, it's just started up again
It's now coming from 'tag.ybrant.hiro.tv' But still has the Skipit banner at the top...

Apologies for the rant was just sick of the adds screwing up my music while surfing. Not a problem now though, just installed adblocker into chrome and they are gone
+1000000000
This is driving me nuts.
Pretty please. Scared the c**p out of me when kiddo left the speakers on full
Super annoying
Yep, very very annoying. If you still require screen shots let me know. Not hard as there seem to be a bunch of them appearing all the time.

[Q] Where does one find help or docs on a new app like the 4.2 camera

I have downloaded and installed the new 4.2 camera app on my GNex. My question is sort of simple. Where does one find instructions on how to use it? In particular, I am looking for documentation on the new "sphere" feature.

Wait until it is officially released and you will get documents on how to use it.

With all due respect, I don't want to wait. I am looking to this community to suggest places that Google or other knowledgeable users might have put some info on how the app works.

If the info is not yet available.... it's not yet available. You have to wait like the rest of us.

Are you saying that you know the information is not yet available? That is helpful. Otherwise saying "if it is not available then it is not available" is an unhelpful tautology.
I think that the 4.2 camera app is available on a few of the new tablets that just got announced. It is not unreasonable to ask if there is any info on usage or features.

So there should be documentation on something that doesn't officially exist yet? Ok.

No one cares what you want. I want a million dollars right now tax free. Is that going to happen? Hell no.
As for your "situation", you can just learn it yourself by messing around with all the options. It's not likes it's going to kill YOU if YOU do the legwork YOURSELF instead of asking us to do the work for you.

I really don't understand why you guys are all dumping on me. I asked a simple question and a link or quick suggestion would have sufficed. I clearly am capable of doing my own legwork or I would not be running a custom ROM on an unlocked phone and finding and installing an unreleased app.
I love baby pandas.

It's because of 1) your question and 2) your responses.
You're asking if anyone has a link to help about something that isn't released. When you were told there isn't such a thing yet, you sounded like a whinny little kid and said "no, I don't want to. Do it for me". How else do you think rue XDA community (who is known for not searching and asking to be spoonfed as well as dumping on said people) is going to respond?

Because you are wanting bleeding edge unreleased software. This comes at a price and that price is you are part of the first ones using it, so of course there is no documentation. It essentially is a beta, it isn't even promised to work let alone have a users guide for it yet. Maybe in a couple months someone will write a guide telling you what the buttons do.
I tried to help inform you but your general rudeness and 'whining' is making me not want to bother and apparently is having the same effect on others that are normally very helpful users here.

Have you tried it?? It's pretty self explanatory, what are your questions? Also, Google is not well known for documenting their features.
Has anybody tried searching on Google ?
