Lets see your UI layout!

Also if you go to the forums at the launcherpro site there is a thread with countless docks. Just DL and apply as mentioned above.

I love to learn these little things.

 

[SyDTRaKKeD]

Have you guys looked at the thread with their list of features they're working on??? I'm hoping we get most of them!

This question has probably been asked a million times, and I'm sorry for not wanting to dig through all like 27 pages of this thread... but how can you take screen shots without root!? lol

As a reminder in this long thread, screenshooting (from devolio's thread, edited a bit):

With root
1) From Market, download a Screenshot application (free).
2) Open the application, give it su permission, and once the text comes up, close it.
3) Press and hold the camera button for a second at the home screen. The camera application will pop up after a second with a Toast that tells you where the screenshot is saved.

Without root
1) Install the Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)
2) Enable USB debugging on your device (menu > settings > applications > development > usb debugging)
3) Run DDMS from the tools directory (just click ddms.bat, be patient)
4) Select your phone from the list
5) Go in the menu, select Device, and then Screen Capture.

I'm getting errors when trying to install the SDK... is there no easier way?

 

[jreed2560]

without root its the ONLY way

Share the errors, entropy (great user name ); perhaps we can get it cleared up for you.

 

[entropy26]

lol thanks, it's been my handle for years now..

Anyways I got the SDK installed but nothing comes up when I open the ddms...

It can often take a while to open.. sometimes it sits on the command line box and then pops open suddenly, I've noticed, and sometimes it just opens the interface.

If it really never opens, perhaps you've got a security setting a bit too high. I'd try restarting my computer after the download of sdk; that might clear things up in Windows.

Trying out Froyo (23) ..

you also need to install the Java SDK as well... or JDK

EDIT: and if you've already done that by chance, try running ddms from the command prompt:

Navigate to your tools folder (replace *Android-SDK* with whatever your folder name may be):

cd C:\*Android-SDK*\tools

then just type the following and hit enter:
ddms

it might take a minute to come up... then you must select your device under the name column on the left and then to take the screenshot select "Device" from the menubar and Screen Capture.

Good call; the Java installation.

Funny you'd mention the kinks; I finally had to restore my Aloysius so I could get going on some calls and messages, etc.

The thing is slow on my Eris.. it is still being cooked, so we're just testing it now.

I found some outright bugs that I'm reporting over in XDA and to the dev: root file manager, despite having su permissions, cannot remove bluetooth, etc. .. so the bloat remains.

Things like that.

hmmm.... ya i'll wait til its fully cooked... don't want my eris getting ROM poisoning or anything like that...

2.2 is quite nice.. I'll bet it's going to be well received once it's done.

The menus seem more intuitive, certain things seem more naturally baked instead of work arounds; I noticed that merely plugging the USB cable in the prompt made more sense than in 2.1.

As far as the 50% bug and the silent bug, I never had them in my Eris, on 1.5 or 2.1, so I can't say that 2.2 improved that.

I'm not great with the terminology, but I had a similar problem. you need to correctly copy your java bin "path" to your system path.

First you need to find you find your java bin path. go to my computer>C:>Program Files(or Program Files(x86) or program files (x86)(x86))>java>jre6>bin. Now copy whatever is in the address bar at the top of the window.
next go to system properties and select environment variables from the advanced tab. from there you just select and double click on the path variable from the top box and paste the jave bin directory to the end of you system path.

If you've done all this correctly, you shouldn't have any problems.
