Where are the plugins located

Im using Kavana Ricky's remade.
Have just made an error on CHome customise of Programs.
I changed the Plugin icons: Location istead of the Picture location now i don't have the programs bar on home screen.
Can someone please provide location.
Thanks in Advance.

Try this.
Start menu -- My Tools -- Configurator -- and click on the plugin you want to show. It's probably just hidden. You can also move up or down which ever one you want.

That just changes the picture of the app your displaying had done them all then messed up.

I believe you will have to find the image you want or originally had for your programs panel and put it in your windows folder. Then find the path somehow and type it in. Like I said I don't know, but tried. I would wait for a mod to help or someone with more experience.
Good luck and keep me posted.

Accent changer for Focus & other Samsung devices

Thanks to the code by RustyGrum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914055), I've put together an accent changer app for the Focus and other Samsung devices.
http://www.daveamenta.com/2011-01/change-accent-colors-on-windows-phone-7-samsung-devices/
I have a version here that should work on HTC, LG and Samsung devices! Please test and let me know if it works

I can confirm that it works on the OMNIA 7 ! Many thanks for this.
The app changes the color in the registry but not the name of the accent.
If I start my settings app for changing the theme the color is changed but the name is still the same but the theme changer shows the changed name.
Cheers

No problem here when changing the names etc. I created a dark blue theme. Looks very clean. I changed the pink theme to dark blue. It replaced the naming for me.

It looks like that there are differences between Focus and OMNIA 7.
For example I have changed the pink accent to darkblue.
On my OMNIA 7:
1. the name of the accent isn´t change.
2. The color of the homescreen tabs is changed to darkblue
3. If I run e.g. Voice to text the tabs are still pink and not darkblue.
Any ideas ?
Cheers contable

The reason it's likely not working for you is the regional code for your language (german.) In the registry, the names for the colors are stored on a per-language basis, in different locations. En-US, for example, is 0409. You'll need to go to the correct location yourself, and edit the entry. I made an editor tonight that can edit the values, get it here.

Thanks for the information. If I change the region/language settings to en-us also the name of the accent color has been changed. Confirmed.
But if I run Voice to text app on my OMNIA 7 the color of the tabs is still not changed...

Try to reboot your phone.

This doesn´t help.
It´s strange that some apps have changed the new color and others not.
apps which didn´t change the accent color:
1. Voice to text
2. MSN Germany
3. MSN Messenger
apps which changed the color:
1. Pictures
2. Contacts
3. Email
4. Messaging
any idea ?

Thanks for this. Will try on my Omnia 7 later and report back

Ive also updated my app to make it work on different devices.
It seems to work on both Samsung and HTC.
I'm looking for someone with a LG device to test it.
XAP here: http://bit.ly/eaNBSW?
Note : I'm also writing a cross device library for registry and provxml access. This is the first app using it.

It's not device-specific anymore, and it never was. It was intended for all Samsung phones, and now includes Samsung and HTC.

Sure, I'll package it later tonight.
I'm also thinking about your idea (I think it was yours) to mimic .Net namespace.
It would be nice to have a cross device lib with the same API as standard .Net on the PC.

I have already started this (I did run into some COM threading issues I am not quite sure how to best handle, though). I have much support for System.Net.Sockets and System.IO. I wasn't sure if we should handle Registry like Microsoft.Win32.Registry or what, so I just made some basic Samsung-specific APIs for now.
I believe someone else is working on a cross-platform library as well, but I don't t know if the plan is to mimic .Net[CF]. I would much like to work together though, I'm planning to update this app later today (restore to default, some stuff I didn't finish because it was too late ), and it'd suck if we forked for essentially no reason.

eBookLauncher (new homescreen)

I have finally got a nook
so, I have started porting my Sony homescreen replacement to work on the nook
so far it can get the list of books and shelves (collections), but not much else.
http://code.google.com/p/sonyprst1home/
I'll try to keep this thread updated with how it's going
please let me know if you would like to test this out (I can send you an apk to install)
All new releases will now be made on the google code page above.

it would be grat to have the apk and some screenshot

i would be interested to see a screen shot...

Awesome! Time to test it! I'm at school right now, so this is probably a terrible idea, but I might as well have something to do, right?
Edit: Have some screen shots. Ignore the 10:16 in corner of all the screen shots, I have an app that does that. (Sorry for the massive post)
Mini-Library / Homescreen
Pressing Menu on the Homescreen
Pressing "My Home Settings" here brings you to this screen
Library
Apps Page 1
Apps Page 2
It still seems to have various elements in color besides the app icons and the book covers.

if you use the apk from this thread, it uses a different method of accessing the database, and doesn't need permissions changed on the database file.

Wow, I love this forum!!
From what Googie posted, I can see this is another cool thing to try out.
Now to get an SD card.

Wow, thanks for the great work. Really nice application for too many books and collections.
However, as the project was opensource, are you going to release the modified source somewhere? in a branch or tag or something?
I would like to see the screensaver feature working for last launched book, would try myself if the code was available.

the code is already available at the google code site in the first post

As you mentioned the APK here has a different way of accessing some file, and I don't see a tag or branch for the nook, I understand that the code is the one for the PRS-T1, correct me if I am wrong.

It's the same code. I am making a single apk that will run on a Sony and a nook (and other devices in future)

First general release (0.1.0.00) which runs on both the Nook and Sony is now available on my google code page.

[XAP] Ring tone creator 0.2 Alpha create ring tones from your music library

Just made a little tool to make ring tones from the music you have stored on your phone.
It's alpha-stage and needs "some" improvement.
known issues:
- doesn't work on samsung devices
- some songs can not be saved if the start time is 0 seconds (just move the left marker 1 pixel to the right)
- if you load a song after changing the splitter marker the labels showing wrong informations about the time/duration
- play/pause button doesn't work correctly

Not working on Samsung focus. It just crashes.

Yep, that's right, I thought you have to grant privileges in wp root tools but just noticed it works without.
When I used the SDK to access the artist pictures with my app mpatool them it doesn't work without changing the policies. maybe the new SDK version changed something ?

OK, thanks. The app is supposed to crash when clicking " click to browse" because I removed the music providing model from the code. Normally the model loads the data on app start to reduce the time between clicking and showing the library content. Now I know where the bug is located and I can search deeper.

[Q] Launch Youtube App By Default

I know this was asked before, I've looked at the threads. How about getting an answer this time? I'm going to give an example so you can understand my problem if you don't. If i'm in an app like Facebook and a friend posts a link to Youtube, a box come up that says complete action using with a few choices of apps to choose from, none of being the Youtube app. I've included an attachment of the screen shot. How do I get Youtube to appear on that list of complete action using? Is there a code? if there is a code, where do I put it? Is this the right code....Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("vnd.youtube://" + id);
startActivity(intent);

I don't know what may be wrong, maybe your borked something because mine works fine.

I believe it has to do with the link itself. A lot of times, even though it says you're going to youtube, the link facebook is actually using is a facebook link.
For instance, my wife is a teacher and chipotle was giving out free burritos to all teachers a week or two ago. The link she shared was supposed to be:
ra.chipotle.com/email/13-all-019/13-all-019.htm

It should be easy to see that even though your friend links that crazy cat video directly to youtube, facebook will add their http://www.facebook.com/l/[gibberish]/ to the front of it. When your phone tries to open that link, it sees it as the browser would, to a website (facebook.com), not to youtube. That's why it only gives you browser options, not youtube options.
The problem with trying to set youtube to "see" those links is that this is how facebook links any page. Assuming you could add an intercept to "http://www.facebook.com/l/" to open in youtube (or at least include it in the open prompt), that'll mean all facebook links will have that prompting. That shouldn't be too much of an annoyance, though.
All that being said, I don't know how to add that "intercept" so that youtube is on the prompt. Maybe others can tell you which files to modify.

True...I interpreted it as him just saying that YouTube links would not come up with YouTube in the list
But if you wanted to change it and then choose yourself which links should be open in YouTube, you'd need to change the BroadcastReceiver in the AndroidManifest.xml of the YouTube app to receive all links

Interesting. I'm trying to look through that file on my computer, but my xml editors (read: notepad and notepad++) don't seem to like that file.
But from your explanation, I'm beginning to see that each individual app determines if it's involved in an action. I was hoping there was a mod or app that could "intercept" the requests and let you edit the list right then and there. I was thinking more like Window's "Open with..." command where you can choose any .exe to open a given file. But it appears that you have to modify the apk itself.

If you select the browser ie:dolphin it will then open up the box giving you the choice to select you tube. That is because the link was posted through the browser. If at the point you get to the box with the you tube choice you select it as default it should work from that point on unless you clear cache.

Yup, apps define what actions they wanna receive (scientific term is "Intents" )
And you decompiled the apk first, right?
If it's not specified in the manifest, I don't know of any other way to do it/force it

It seems like a dev could make an app that does just that, though. It could be called "Link Chooser" and it's manifest.xml would indicate that all links open in that program. It would then have it's own whitelist of installed apps and you could indicate which apps you want to open based on link type... I don't even think it'd have to have root access.
Ooohhh, if I had more expertise with android programming, I'd totally make that app and it'd sell like hotcakes on the Play store.
