Mobile Signal Widget?

[Guest Loconinja]

Whatabout a speedometer style graphic?

I have considered something like this:

The benefit is that coding the needle movement would be fairly straightforward.

Currently just working on designs, then once a few have been selected ill be passing all relevant graphics onto Loconinja who is making the actual widget.

I agree totally - outstanding effort the_didge, I like that design the best too - the one with the colour indicator bar, perfect!!!

Good work guys...

This screen-shot shows my test widget (no graphics).

The API returns the signal strength as ASU, which ranges from -1 (no signal) to 31. However, 16 or 17 seems to be enough for maximum bars on the standard signal strength icon.

[Guest Loconinja]

Got some initial graphics working now:

Looking great!

With your findings about signal strength and the number of bars shown by the stock indicator this widget could become invaluable when testing a new device since the number of bars displayed isn't that accurate as a signal strength indicator...

is it Apple :angry:

I have discovered that an ASU of 10 is enough for full bars on the standard notification icon when in 3G, but 18 or more is required when in GPRS. I need to decide how my widget will report the signal strength.

@Loconinja, is it possible to get a copy of your golden gate bridge wall paper? does it span afew screens like the uk o2 one?

Can we get an extreme beta version? I too use ADW without the status bar.

If not, looking good man... Looking good

It's the default wallpaper on the from-Dell Streak, and it spans 4 screens! I'll post them up later.

Now this is embarrassing, but I cannot find the image files on my device. /system/Wallpapers only has one file in it. I have searched the whole device using Astro, and browsed everywhere using Root Explorer, but I cannot find them! Any ideas?

What I did find were the files for the Dell start-up animation.

Edited to add: OK, a bit of Googling tells me they are in Launcher.apk. Finding a way to extract them now.

Interesting. Launcher.apk only contains the thumbnail versions. I still cannot find the full-screen versions. :angry:

[Guest Loconinja]

[Guest Loconinja]

A beta version is now available. DM me if you'd like to try it.

[Guest yosemite-sam]

Thank you mate, they look lovely! I hope you dont mind me sharing, someone over at streaksmart forums wanted these too.

here's my attempt at single screen paps.

[Guest Loconinja]

The first BETA version is here: DOWNLOAD BETA V0.1 (mediafire.com).

Please post any comments, bugs or suggestions. Thanks!

[Guest vinokirk]

Excellent! I'll d/l it as soon as i get home!

[Guest fards]

looking good so far..

I was really excited when it said H on mine, but then I noticed data wasn't even connected...

switched back to G as soon as I turned it on..

like the airplane mode smiley, nice touch :angry:

[Guest Loconinja]

Android 1.6 doesn't seem to be able to distinguish between 3G and HSDPA, so you will never see a true H unfortunately. It showed briefly as it is the default image. I'll change that in the next version.

[Guest IceXcube84]

Nice widget. That have been nice to have on a Huawei U8220. I have try it on my phone with 2.1 and it only showed a H and no data connected :angry:

Nice if it have been working with UMTS/3G and HSPDA that we are using in Europe.

Very nice widget anyway =)

I only have a Streak (1.6) to test it on. I can make a 2.1 compatible version.

I can install and place out the widget but it dont show any thing of the network connection or so.

But i can test it for you and report if it work or not.

It seems it dont support the phone networks we have in europe.

Nice work you have put down on to make this very nice widget :angry:
