[General Accessories] Ahmazin:
Yesterday, I was at a major department store... You know the one with the bullseye for a symbol. I came across a stylus for tablets for capacitive screens, for twenty bucks. I almost got it, but decided I would do a little more checking before I plunked down twenty and some change for a rubber crayon.

I came across a stylus on kickstarter and immediately became a backer. It's a magnetic stylus that snaps on to a tablet, or probably any device with some metal casing to it. I know the title says for iPad, but magnets like lots of metals, even ones not wrapped around iApple ones. I have the Acer Iconia a500, so I became a backer. Even if it doesn't snap to your case, it still has a great price!

You can check it out at snapstylus dot com (I can't put URLs til I post more).

The first 200 backers get the thing for $5.00 SHIPPED! (Orders outside of US, have to ad $8 bucks, sorry), After the first 200, the stylus is still only 10 bucks shipped.

Kickstarter is a cool place to find projects that just need a little financial backing to succeed. DEFINITELY check out the entire website and maybe you can start your own project. Good ideas get funded pretty quickly!

Oh, and you can tell your friends and buddies about it too!

* Just want to say that I have no affiliation with this project, I just came across it and thought it was a good idea. I've emailed the guy and he even offered to go to a local best*** to check to see if the stylus would adhere to the Iconia...

If you like, leave a comment that you're from XDA forum and that Shauna M. sent you. Maybe if we show people that We'll back a good project, they'll start making more products for our devices. Everyone knows the Iconia needs more!

No-contract 3g phone not listed with @&T. I prefer to purchase rather than be tied to a contract.

Want easy tether capability with transformer. But don't care about latest and greatest.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nxt:
So you have service with AT&T already then?

Best option would be to get a Nexus One AT&T version. With it's stock Android, it has built in free wifi tethering. You just need a regular data plan with AT&T obviously.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] lightfire:
Thanks for the suggestions.

Yes, I am already on @&T. I wouldn't use this feature except occasionally when traveling. Where I live does not even get 3 g yet. So I mostly use wifi with transformer. Occasional syncing calendar with google calendar is about the main use of "smart phone". Since I have transformer not much need of all the apps on the phone. Just like android so though I would upgrade from symbian.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nxt:
Stop calling it "@&T" Because it's wrong either way "at and t" huh? It's A T & T, so if you want to make fun of AT&T at least do it right.

how much time your new optimus one took for recharging and discharging...for the few days when you bought it......:confused:?????
[Optimus One, P500, V General] onlymeipse:
Well, with the stock ROM, as far as I remember, battery lasts about 1-2 days with average use (1 hour call/sms, 1 hour wifi/3G) without gaming... With intense use it lasts about one day...

For charging it needs about 2 hours to charge fully.

The first thing you should do it close this thread and go to the General section and read this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1008245

Then if you still have questions, you should post them in that General section, since this area is for development discussions of ROMs and not the general questions forum.

Applications can somehow reduce brightness more then natve settings can do . For example using cool reader I touched the limits of brightness which are not possible through native settings . This can save eye strain considerably .

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] zeuslee:
Thanks for your suggestion. Noted it
[Acer Iconia A500] umanko:
can you fix it ?

btw there is also another bug I named it "The orientation bug" since if you lock orientation in landscape mode and press power btn to switch off the screen and then hold the tablet in portrait direction now if you switch on screen the tablet ill lock the orientation in portrait direction instead of landscape .
[Acer Iconia A500] zeuslee:
I'll give it a try later because it's not causing me a big trouble. I got notice the 'orientation bug' but I don't think it's a trouble too. Just hold landscape and log on. The screen also keep locking on landscape

[Android Apps and Games] adfrad:
Being a complete novice to software development, having nothing but an idea, a friend who could draw and a small amount of money I could spare, I posted on XDA that I was looking for a developer to help me create a simple child's game for tablets and HD devices. I got a fantastic response, chose my developer apdroid and soon work was started.

Now I'm happy to announce the fruits of our labour... Audabobble.

It's a simple "hear the sound and drag it to the correct image" game, with loads of bright colours and fun sounds to attract kids.

The specially created graphics are at HD resolutions, and is optimised for the mass of Android tablets that is about to sweep over us.. and the swam of pre school and nursery kids who will be addicted to them... but it also plays on regular phones just as well.

Please take a look, and tell me what you think. It's free to install off the market and has no adverts.

[Android Apps and Games] darfbozo:
Lovely ... but ...

Lovely looking game, very easy for kids to pick up, but ... £1.00 for extra screens and you only get two to start with? I doubt many people will cough up that much, which is a shame, because the idea is good.
[Android Apps and Games] adfrad:
Thanks for taking the time to have a look and commenting.

You make a fair point, the cost is always an issue. It has to be a balancing act.

Each screen costs me a lot of money for the original artwork, and the license for the sounds (which can really rack up when you have so many objects involved). That, and the fact that coming up with original idea for scenes can be really difficult (there will only be eight scenes in total).

Also, I would have been happy to charge only 50p for two scenes but that was below Google's minimum cost allowed for all the countries.

I'm working in the hope that having screaming kids in the back of the car will inspire users to purchase additional scenes, just to get a little respite :)

[Verizon Droid Charge] tarheelmike:
I am going to activate a new device today. Planning on letting OTA EE4 do its thing. Afterwards, what process should I follow to achive root?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ffd173:
Just do a little reading first before asking.

It's in one of the threads. I'll post which one if I come across it.

The step by step is there too.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tarheelmike:
Done PLENTY of reading before tackling this. Just lots of threads with lots of confusing steps. Just trying to consolidate this process into somewhat simple steps for the beginners. I will attempt to write out the procedure I follow tonight and post it for the beginners. Any help to get this started would be appreciated.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Blackhammer221:
Yes. I have been reading too and did not see clearly how to root after OTA update
[Verizon Droid Charge] sarends:
Can't Find "How to Root from Latest EE4 Update"

I have been reading and searching for the exact same thing - if it is anywhere to be found, it must be buried pretty deep. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
There are two ways to root your device. Depending on what you want the end result to be, one way may be quicker than the other.

1. If you want Voodoo and Root, but don't care about custom roms or uv/oc kernels. You can simply use ODIN to flash jt1134's kernel and reboot. It should convert to voodoo on the first boot and you are done.

2. If you want CWM Recovery and the ability to flash custom roms/ kernels in .zip format w/ CWM, You can flash CWM in ODIN and then boot direct to recovery by using the Vol up + Home+ Power button combo, releasing power when samsung logo appers.

Once in CWM flash the rom and kernel of your choice(already on your SDcard) and then reboot.

3. If you want both jt1134's kernel and CWM you just use odin to flash both rebooting in between. First the kernel then CWM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] superslow:
Once updated

1. Reboot into recovery

2. Wait till you're at the recovery loader

3. Take out battery, disconnect any USB

4. Boot up in loading mode (vol down, plug in USB)

5. When loading screen comes on, you can put the battery back in

6. Use Odin to load the latest CWM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112804)

7. It'll auto reboot and should put you back into recovery mode. You'll know you're in the right recovery if it's yellow and has the option to install zip from sdcard. If it doesn't take repeat steps 4-6 again (On my wife's phone I had to do it twice)

8. Use CWM to load PBJ's rooted kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1104634)

9. reboot

Enjoy!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chopstix9:
I too am trying to get guidance on this. I am at what I assume is stock ee4 after taking ota from rooted ed1 flash and I DID lose root.

I flashed the imnuts cwm onto phone a bit ago. It is current file updated yesterday I believe. The problem is that when I go into recovery mode via vol/home/pwr I get into what looks to be still the stock samsung recovery screen with no added options. Then lettering on screen is now blue though where I think it was different prior to flash? Leery of proceeding without some help !!

Thanx In Advance for Any Guidance !!
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
It has been suggested that you flash the Voodoo kernel after the ROM is installed via CWM it has worked better for many that way.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chopstix9:
I tried flashing new cwm using method listed above in reply #7 .... after the flash completed the phone did reboot but to full reboot, it did not boot back to recovery. I shut phone down and go into recovery and it looks to be stock samsung recovery still but lettering is blue:

Android system recovery <3e>

Samsung Recovery Utils for BML

(selections list)

apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/Factory reset

wipe cache partition

format internal sd-card

no other options and lettering above is blue

down in screen I have yellow # Manual Mode #

looks to me like cwm flash did not take ?

Edit: Okay I got it !! I flashed again leaving battery out during whole process and now have voodoo cwm ....

On to next step *cringe*
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
You have to force the phone to recovery mode after flash, by pressing vol up+home+power, releasing power after samsung logo appears. If the phone boots up w/ the stock kernel, cwm is overwritten by stock recovery.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chopstix9:
I flashed again and I am at the CWM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v 4.0.0.1

I have transfered the imnuts debloated ee4 to the sdcard

I use menu up/down to navigate to selections. After going down to the apply update from sdcard I press the home key to select. It just jumps back up to reboot system now. This happens no matter what selection I attempt to activate using the home key ...

I know I am close, what am I missing here ?

Thanks Tons For The Help
[Verizon Droid Charge] addictedtocars:
Thanks, I am in same boat, so many threads it is mind boggling.

I see that jt1134's kernel include the voodoo lag fix? What if I just want root. Really all I want it root so I can do some mild de-bloating, but want the phone in a position that if another OTA comes out I can just accept it without worrying.

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
Choose the install zip from sdcard option, then navigate to where debloated rom is and select
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
Sounds like you just want a stock rooted kernel you can flash w / odin. Put in a request in and maybe one of the devs can accommodate you.

For now, I only know of jt's kernel for odin.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jgun33:
I'm curious if we will ever see a one click root app for this phone like gingerbreak? What will it take to make it that easy? I have gingerbreak for my tablet(honeycomb 3.0) and it's a snap to switch back and forth.

I only want root to be able to edit some files (starup sounds) and for titanium backup. AND I want to be able to get the OTA updates without having to remeber all the hoops I have to jump through.

I'd gladly pay for a simple root solution for this phone.

Tell me please what rom you have on your phone now and what is better in it then in others?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan542:
I use CyanogenMod 7 latest nightlies with glitch kernel, whitch allows you to overclock up to 1.6Ghz. Anyway, I have most of the time my phone overclocked to 1.2Ghz. It's really fast even without overclock. I would recommend you replacing the default launcher (ADW) either with ADW EX or Launcher Pro or anything else, because the ADW App Drawer lags (unlike everything else). I didn't like the default camera app, so I downloaded and installed the MIUI one, which BTW supports touch to focus. Also the rom is highly customizable.

I watched some MIUI videos, but for me it looks too iPhone-like. Maybe I'll give it a try some day. BTW MIUI is based on CyanogenMod, so if you experienced some bug, it will be most likely present in MIUI too. Only think I don't like on CM7 is that the button on stock headset doesn't work (AFAIK it did somewhere around build #12), so I have to always put my phone out my pocket, every time I wanna pause the music :(

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stephj:
It depends on how the application was written originally. If it is a Win32 C++ program then the second copy will activate the first then terminate itself, as shown in the above code, unless the programmer has deliberately removed it.

.NET applications also seem to behave the same way. Windows CE was not really designed to run multiple instances of the same executable like the desktop versions of Windows.

Copying the .EXE file to another name might work, but the methods mentioned above could thwart your efforts.

It's possible to make instances for some apps - crude, but working way - hexeditor and internal name change(of process they are creating).

I used this to make multiple instances of wm5newmenu few years ago.

Though, it's hard to say which app can be treated like this and which one won't work...sometimes app may need additional "fixes" with files they are using + hexedit of registry entries they are using, or config names(if app behaviour needs to be different in both instances, i.e.).
