[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
Unless you can return the device for a refund/exchange I'd say hold onto it until Kal-El is out. That hardware is going to be nice and hopefully Google will have worked on the code side some too.
[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
Many countries? Please do show me. And hacked roms/ ports dont count, i never said i expected it before the release date (which btw has not been 'told' officially for the US.) But the fact they are this many weeks behind competitors is bad for their business.

For my first android device it isnt horrible, i just think acer could be doing a lot better.

Thank you, i will do this. I honestly havent heard about this tablet till just now, after looking it up, its got my interest peaked.
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
Kal-El is the Tegra 3 chipset iirc. So not just any one tablet. Although unless Acer changes their bootloader stance I'll go with Asus' the next time around.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
Patience is a virtue

wait until 5th july to start be upset.

and you expect what more???

for the price and the quality really!!!! this tablet is far better than some others all things compared... depends what you need.

I bought 2 tablets and 2 phone from ACER the same month. and I am purely satisfied with what I got.

I do not expect perfection at the first release... wait for the A100 or the future Iconia Tablet.... I think that will be something really awesome.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
This is not the right attitude to have on xda!

Very few tablets have gotten 3.1 and none of the manufacturers has released it world wide.

Today we got the 3.1 update (unofficial) and the 3.1 kernel.

It is by all means a day of joy and the bootloader barely makes a difference. We got clockwork anyway! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
What Bec said -

Had my tablet for two weeks now - used vcache's thread in the dev section to get the most recent OTA upgrade - rooted with modded Gingerbreak - removed bloatware apk's (and backed them up) and spent a couple days learning about the system. Thanks to xda - my tablet is able to pick up on a ad-hoc wi-fi network hotspotted from my cheapo VM Samsung Intercept (25$ USD a month for unlimited 3g - cannot do much better then that) - and I have perfect video playback for watching movies on the go (assuming I take the time to convert those pesky 720/1020 .mkv files to something the a500 can hardware decode).

16 gb internal storage - 32 gb on my microsd - 32 more gb on a USB stick I can plug in - this thing runs like greased lightning! :-) Running the 144.07 official Acer version (as far as I can tell - early releases of 3.1 for this device do not yet support hardware decoding for video - i have been away a few days and this may be outdated).

Again - patience is a virtue. In the meantime - have you made sure you are running the latest OTA version and have you tried rooting your device and trimming away some of the fat? It is literally a 10 min fool proof process - the only thing you need to remember is to keep a safe backup of any system files you remove. Once Acer updates with another OTA version - you simply restore the system files and update. Very simple.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
And hopefully a nexus series tablet, thats my next tablet.......now to go sell some old toys of mine to get ready
[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
I i think I came off to strong. I don't hate this tablet. The device itself is great, and being a first time android user, I already like it more than ios.

And honeycomb 3.0.1 is not a bad firmware.

My beef is with Acer, maybe I was just expecting to much from them. And maybe they are slow to the gun for good reasons we/I don't know about. I just think as a company who is in direct competition with motorola and Asus they should be more responsive to what's happening around them. But again this is my opinion, and I know you all will have yours,

And I don't have an attitude directed at xda as a couple of you seem to think, xda community has done nothing but provide support and advice when needed. The short time I've been here I've learned a lot from many of you, so thank you. (Excuse my typos, my soft keyboard keeps force closing some reason)
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
again

Have you checked out the OTA update thread in the dev section and made sure you are running a updated version? If anything - patching to the latest OTA dramatically improved my browser experience.
[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
Sorry I missed your first post, yes I am running the most recent version
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] morox:
Hi, I have a BIG Optimus 2X, but i got a crack on the screen from left to right in the middle of the screen and i can only use the top half of the screen. I have managed to use nvflash to remove my custom rom and install the original rom.

As i am waiting my company to give me the instructions to get the phone repaired, I began to wonder if there is a way to use the phone without using the touch-screen.

Surfing the web i found Droid VNC Server and i managed to install it and to START it via ADB

the command to start it via ADB is the following one:

# am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n org.onaips.vnc/org.onaips.vnc.Mai

nActivity

well now i have it on the screen of my phone, and i am able to select start, becouse it is just up the crack, but Superuser acces is asked, and i am unable to accept and grant SU acess.

So my question is:

Is there a way to give SU permissions to vnc server via ADB? or is there a table or a file in where su has granted and denied software ?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joobi:
A possible way to launch vnc server :

(tested on a broken screen nexus S)

(droid VNC server must be installed (can be done via play store))

(I haven't any su issues with this method)

1: set execution right (this has to be to done only once) :

adb.exe shell chmod 766 /data/data/org.onaips.vnc/files/androidvncserver

2: manualy launch the executable :

adb.exe shell /data/data/org.onaips.vnc/files/androidvncserver

3: from an other window set port forwarding :

adb.exe forward tcp:5901 tcp:5901

4: from PC launch your favorite vnc viewer

Hey everyone, I'm a big newb when it comes to Ubuntu. I got into it because I wanted an OS that was as open as CM7, and so far it's great! I was trying to install ADB on my computer and I was using the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=921169. I got JDK installed, and sdk, its about step 4 that I get lost. In terminal when I put in $ ./adb devices it doesn't list any devices. I might be wrong, but I think it needs to recognize my nook as a adb device before I can do anything else. Am I missing a step? Any help would be great!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racks11479:
Follow the steps from Nookdevs.com here http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_USB_ADB

In your case, since you have everything setup. Make note specifically to run this command from the link posted above:

Ensure that your rooted NOOKcolor is plugged in.

Run the following command in terminal:

mkdir -p ~/.android && echo 0x2080 > ~/.android/adb_usb.ini && adb kill-server && adb devices

If you get output that looks like the following you have succeeded:

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] actorman46:
okay on step 4 it says to edit your .bash_profile, by putting the command in terminal

nano ~/.bashrc

then append these lines at the end and save the file.

export PATH=${PATH}:<your_sdk_dir>/platform-tools

I'm not sure what it's asking me to do. After putting in nano ~/.bashrc do I just scroll to the bottom and add that line? And if that's it, how do I save it?

Told you I new! But thanks for showing me the right link.

Oh, that command you told me to pay attention to doesn't work for me but when I type in

$ cd ~/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools

actorman46@actorman46-Satellite-A305:~/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools$ ./adb devices

it now lists my device with permission, the same way that command was supposed to.

I just need help setting my path in bashrc!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racks11479:
1. Yes, just scroll to the bottom and add 'export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools/platform-tools' to the file.

2. Once you add the path, to save and exit. Press 'Control' and 'X'. It will give you an option to save changes. Type in "Y" and then press "Enter"

3. After you save the file you have to run:

$ source ~/.bashrc

That should now set the correct path to your SDK tools. You might have to restart terminal for it to take effect.

[EVO Shift 4G General] inmnbob:
After upgrading to 2.3 I used my hands free BT device and noticed a new icon that looks like an ear with a couple curved lines next no it. In thought it was a head set icon but it is still on even tough i have left the car. Tried turning off phone and taking the battery out but it still is on. Thoughts?
[EVO Shift 4G General] southernstyle:
sounds like the hearing aid icon, its a setting under settings/call/hearing aids.. that's my guess
[EVO Shift 4G General] inmnbob:
Good guess. That was it ..thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bedoig:
I've been working on a tablet optimized bible and note taking application, and the first beta is now available. Due to licensing issues, the KJV is currently the only supported translation. The app is, however, fully compatible with all of the MySword resources that are graciously hosted by the MySword.info team here:

http://www.mysword.info/download-mysword/bibles

[edit - to be clear, using other bibles isn't difficult, but for now probably requires root. Just download any of the bibles from the source above, unzip it, rename it to bible.db, and replace the existing file at /data/data/com.bedoig.bible/databases/. I'll make OTA downloads possible in the future, but you XDAers like things complicated.]

They have mentioned that they are currently having hosting issues, so please avoid downloading any files that you don't absolutely need until I can arrange alternate hosting.

This is a first release and I have a lot of other features planned. Please report any issues or feature requests you have in this thread. Thanks, and I hope you find it useful.

Market Link

Changelog:

v0.2

- Changed to Holo Light theme

- Split notes section between reading and editing activities

- Automatic detection of scripture references in notes. The references must follow the convention of 'Book Chapter:Verse' - for example, 'Genesis 2:4' or '1 Peter 1:1'. The book name must match the book name as presented in the far left pane, followed by a space, the chapter number, a colon, and the verse number.

v0.1

- Initial release

To-Do:

- Font size settings

- Allow clicking in scriptures pane - add reference to notes.

- Bookmarking

- Proper scripture formatting, including red-letter, italics, paragraph breaks, etc.

- Highlighting
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Oops, might want one more near the top.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dictionary:
Looks decent so far. Would be great if there was a way to tap into the YouVersion bibles. Also, any way to bookmark? Or is that a future plan
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Using the YouVersion bibles was my first thougt as well, but they seem to be encrypted - which is understandable since many of the translations they distribute are copyrighted.

What exactly do you mean by bookmark? Have the application open in the same place you left off? Or more like a stored favorites kind of thing that links to particular verses?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] freekyfrogy:
sweet! I was actually just contemplating trying to make one of these myself the other day because I wanted a good bible app on my tablet :P
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] DiscipleDOC:
Thanks for this!

Also, will you be making a way to highlight scriptures?

Bookmarking is important to me as well. Being able to bookmark will allow a person to save a current passage he's doing a study/research on. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bedoig:
I'll add bookmarking to the to-do list.

Highlighting might come somewhere down the road.

At the moment, I'm working on automatically parsing standard scripture notations in your notes (Gen 1:1, Exodus 2:1, etc) and turning those into actionable links to bring up that particular scripture. Along those same lines, I'd like to make the scriptures pane accept clicks and import a reference to that scripture into your notes.

Edit - Ha! It just hit me that once I get the clickable references going, you could easily just make a note titled 'Bookmarks' with a list of all the scriptures you want quick access to. I might do something a little fancier eventually, but would that work for the time being?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] branshaw09:
this is great. one thing that frustrates me with youvision is having to be online to make notes. Question... how do i access my downloaded version that i placed in the databases folder i created? Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bedoig:
If you have downloaded the app and run it at least once, there should already by a file named bible.db at /data/data/com.bedoig.bible/databases. Just replace that file with the bible you downloaded from MySword. They store their files in a compressed format (gz) so you'll need to uncompress it then rename it bible.db. Then just overwrite the existing file in the directory above.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Digiguest:
Awesome way to spread the Lords word around. Get it up!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] diversificationied:
Very cool, would like to see copy+past ability for the notes portions. Search, and text size options.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] -J450N:
Sweeet i was looing for this good job
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bedoig:
So I've got the automatic linking working, but the EditText (the box where you actually display and edit your notes) doesn't really play nice with the links. When clicked, the link gets selected/highlighted and returning to a normal edit mode isn't totally intuitive.

I think the better approach would be something like this: initial pane is your list of notes --> clicking a note converts the pane to a reading (but not editing) view of that note (the links would be active here) --> clicking on the body of that note would open up the editable view (the links would not be active here).

Does that make sense? It buries the editing function one step deeper, but it's probably the correct way of handling this situation.

Anybody want to try it out as-is and let me know what you think? To me, the interaction between the links and the EditText just doesn't work.

Edit - attached preliminary v0.2 for testing

Edit2 - Oh, and for now only full references like Genesis 1:1, Revelation 2:1, 1 Peter 1:1 are recognized. The book has to spelled out as presented in the book list pane, and there has to be a chapter and verse with a colon in between.

Edit3 - and finally, you have to save and re-enter the note for the links to become active.

--- apk removed. v0.2 should be up within the next few days ---
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sureloch:
Great app. Thanks for including TSK. Is there any way to turn off strongs numbers while reading KJV? Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Did you download your own bible? I don't think I included strongs numbers in the version I released on the market.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] diversificationied:
I downloaded the new file, but I don't see any differences.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bedoig:
The one from a couple posts up? The notes section should now automatically turn scripture references into clickable links. The format is very particular though. It must follow the convention of TEXT followed by a space followed by NUMBER:NUMBER (ie, Genesis 2:3). You must also save and then re-enter the note for the links to be created.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] diversificationied:
Yeah, I just reread the post.

It works...but it's not very intuitive. =/

If I could make a couple of comments in general usage:

-There should be some kind of "selected" indicator when you jump to a passage through the link

-Selecting a note takes you straight into edit mode, would prefer it to take you to a view mode first, then optionally and edit move. As is right now the keyboard pops up when you select a note. Doesn't seem like the desire state when you're only reading notes.

-If you select a link, it goes into what appears to be a permanent edit state with no selection indicators.

-Black theme seems....unruly for a bible app. =P I think default white theme would be much nicer.

I can put forth even minor grievances if you'd like, lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] speckledpig:
Will check this out. Thanks!!

I wish that youversion would make HC optimized app; I have been hoping for this ever since I got my TF, but yours just might be the ticket.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Thanks for the feedback. Comments are below. Specific questions I have are in bold.

-I don't remember where I was at when I compiled and posted that, but I do have the selection indicators working. When you click a link the book and chapter are highlighted in their respective columns, just like if you manually navigated to the verse.

-I agree here. That's the way I'm planning on handling it. In the "reading" mode, the links will be active. In the "edit" mode, they will not. Should you navigate to the "edit" mode by clicking anywhere on the text, or should I have a dedicated "Edit" button? Having a separate reading mode will also make for nicer scrolling than what's currently available in the edit mode.

-The weird interaction of the EditText and the links will be fixed by only having the links active when in the "reading" mode as discussed in the last comment.

-Definitely want to do a nicer theme at some point. Would your preference be to make it look good first, or work good first? I want to get the basic functionality down, but I'm also anxious to pretty it up.

Oh, and hold off on the minor grievances for now :) Got to tackle the big stuff first.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] :
Yeah this build doesn't have any selectors, good to know. edit: Nevermind, It shows up now, weird.

There should be a dedicated edit button. Maybe near the bottom right next to a share button =P. Reason being, there should also be a way to select text from the note while in reading mode. To be able to copy/paste easier.

As far as the looks go..they tend to go hand in hand, but functionality is usually prefered for something like this.

Hope that helps. =)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bedoig:
If you find a way to reproduce the behavior where the book/chapter selections weren't showing, please let me know.

Thanks again for the feedback.

Probably do a v0.2 release when the viewing/editing stuff is done.

Edit - oh, and anybody got an idea for a good name? 'Bible' isn't cutting it, lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] doobie711:
this is ridiculously impressive. I love the portrait orientation for when you don't have any notes taken. Will likely be using this tonight.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] The_Tech_Ninja:
Thanks for bumping my old thread... I will give this a shot!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sgbdeals:
FWIW...it looks like the YouVersion app uses SQLite for it's versions of the local bibles. http://www.sqlite.org/

Might want to check that out...I'd love to be able to use my NASB version on your app.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Using the YouVersion bibles was my first thought as well, but they are encrypted. The resources I settled on are also sqlite though.

v0.2 is just about ready for release. I was considering switching the theme to the default Android 'Holo Light' (it's currently using the dark theme). I'm planning on doing my own theming eventually, but would everyone prefer the lighter theme for the time being?

Give me a quick shout and let me know which theme you'd prefer. Edit - added a poll to first post.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] :
You know my thoughts. =)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Light it is. v0.2 should be in the market.

Can a mod remove the poll? I can't figure it out.

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] :
Light theme definately looks better! =P

Couple of notes:

-After you save a note, the keyboard stays on screen. It should hide instead.

-The check marks on the list shouldn't be visible on the list if you can't start multi selecting immediately. My first reaction was to toggle a bunch of them to delete, but that didn't work since the check mark is in the same field as the note heading.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] JoshuaRead:
Light theme looks better. Good job.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Agreed on the keyboard. I find that annoying too, I just haven't fixed it yet.

I definitely see what you're saying about the checkmarks, but that might be more difficult to fix. Will explore options.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bedoig:
New version should be up in the market. I'll update the thread later.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] DanRo80:
I use Tecarta Bible because it downloads the entire thing and you don't have to be connected to the internet at all for it. I wish there was AMPLIFIED version available.

Concept Layout

I made a mockup drawing of a tablet version that I sent to youversion. But, they said that their just wasn't enough interest at the time in doing a whole lot for android tablets. I figured I would share it with you in case it might be of some help to you.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Sorry I haven't updated the thread in a long time. I still work on the program every now and then and there are a lot of new features that I haven't mentioned here. I'll try and update the thread soon.

Since there seem to be a lot of people who preferred the dark theme, it is now a user-selectable option.

As always, let me know if you have any ideas or requests and I'll see what I can do. I could also use a graphics person if anybody has any skills in that respect.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] lisabeeren:

Hi... This is the best bible app by far on my N10, are you still developing?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bedoig:
I haven't touched it in over a year. I've been meaning to get back into it though. There are a lot of improvements I have in mind, but at a bare minimum I'd like to add the ability for people to export and import their collection of notes to make it easier when moving to a new device.

I might have some time this week to spend on it. We'll see. Anything in particular you're interested in seeing?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] audie2k3:
