Hi.

I was just thinking (I'm a big fan of custom/programmable multi-key controllers) that it would be a great idea to be able to use my Samsung Tab as a controller (programmable) for pc tasks.

Once upon a (better) time, Saitek made a marvellous device called the P8000 (or PCDash2 in the US) [ http://www.neoseeker.com/Hardware/Products/Saitak_P8000/ ] and more recently (but not quite) there is the Ergodex DX1 system [ http://www.ergodex.com/mainpage.htm ].

Would it be possible/feasible to develop an application for Android that could function as the P8000 does?

I'd be okay for a static-keymap (only able to customize displayed image), only send joybutton1..joybuttonX signals to pc via USB, no need to be able to program function on the device itself. As long as it uses some form of standard signals, AutoHotkey can handle the pc-side of things. But programmable macros on-device would of course be better for people not familiar with AHK (majority, I'd say). And custom keymap would of course be top-notch, but might be stretching it.

Anyone else interested in this, and more specifically, any developers want to make something out of this?

I'll put my money (whatever small amount there is left of that) where my mouth is, and start:

* Static-keymap (4x5 [or preferably 6x7 on a tablet] "buttons"), standard JoyButton-signals, ability to customize displayed image. [15€]

* Ability to customize "button" grid (4x4 - 10x10 or so? for larger tablets?) [+5€]

* Ability to customize the button "grid" arbitrarily without being restricted by default x times y grid. (= customize buttons per-pixel. via xml?) [+10€]

* On-device selection of button functions (send keypress/joybutton/short macro) [+10€]

* customizable keymap (ability to change the button layout and number of buttons) [+15€]

* add button types (slider, "knob") [+10€]

* usable via bluetooth [+5€]

Please, if you're interested add your ideas (but stay on topic, this is supposed to be a customizable/programmable controller, not an elephant breeding machine or anything else.) But do add your own ideas (and any amount of money you'd be willing to pay.)

Devs, if you need more info on what I'm talking about, don't hesitate to contact.

tl;dr: I love my P8000 but I want a modern version of it, preferably in the form of an Android app that I can use on my 7" Galaxy Tab (or any Tablet/Note).

The P8000 is STILL the only viable controller on the market (well, Ergodex kind-of, but can't customize the "displayed image", only the layout) for this kind of work, and it hasn't been sold for years.

Also, with the current availability of touch screen devices, I'm dumbfounded that there ISN'T an application for this already (or a dozen). It should be very easy to do. (at least if Android can easily send button events to the host computer.)
[Android Apps and Games] AnttiV:
I think I'm allowed a bump after a year. I'm still very interested if someone can code an (or point me towards an existing) application like this.

There's DroidPad, but it currently doesn't support x64 and doesn't seem to incorporate any image display feature at all, just the b&w layout.
[Android Apps and Games] AnttiV:
Sorry for the new bump, but I think this is worth it.

Because I found a program almost exactly like I want, unfortunately it is for iOS.

Look here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/custom-keypad/id433683617?mt=8

That's what I mostly mean. Add an ability to lay-over an image and were there.

after waiting about 3 weeks for my warranty refurb replacement phone so show up at the sprint store, i finally get it and they do all their paper work with it and i leave. on the way home i thought id test out the 720p video video recording and i notice that i have a big yellow spot right in the middle of my screen, it shows up in all my pix, vids, and on the screen while using the camera.

i Googled this for a solution and i could not find anything on this so i thought i'd simply document it online so there might eventually be something to reference for someone.

anyways i took it right back to the store and they are going to order me a new one but it is on back order and they don't know when they will get one in for me.

could this turn into a reason to get a evo 3d? or do i just wait patiently for a working replacement?

i have no problem being patient but what good is a warranty if i get a refurb then this refurb is bad right out of the box and now i get to wait for who knows how long.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Nah, they won't upgrade you to the Evo 3D. Certainly not for just one replacement.

If I were you I would request, firmly yet politely, a brand new replacement because these refurbished ones are rarely good.

That's what I do and it always seems to work.
[EVO 4G General] runcool:
NEVER leave the store without testing as much as you can before you walk out. That's something they would have just given you a new phone on the spot for if you would have caught it. Take it back to the store and hope you speak to the same person that handed you the phone. then say, hey. look YOU SCREWED up. lol. blame it on the tech. :-D get a new phone. :-D

PS THAT'S WHY I'M SMART ENOUGH NOT TO PAY FOR A WARRANTY! THEY DON'T COVER ****! HELL DUDE! LEGALLY, IF SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENS. It is a defect of the phone, so if you were paying or not. YOU STILL GET IT replaced for free according to federal law!

agreed on the refurbs sucks. We send them in because they are screwed up, and they FLAT OUT DO NOT even look at the phones before they send them right back out.
[EVO 4G General] potna:
you guys mean they could have given me a new phone when i went back in with a defective phone 20 minutes after being handed this broken refurb? but instead i get to wait in definitely ? oh man. so they have new ones in boxes ready to go and i get to wait on another refurb that could have another problem right out of the box?

if this is true, how often will they do this for people? and will i be asking them to bend the rules in this scenario or is this option in flow chart?

personally, i think its crap that when they have to warranty replace your phone they get to pull our replacement from a pile of used phones that someone isnt checking out very welll, if at all.

Hey if i download a custom rom do i need to download the original csc package?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swi7chblade:
I don't believe so.

You only need to download a CSC package if you need to change the CSC that's curently installed on your phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yldlj:
Oh ok but if i download a rom doesnt it change the csc?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
CSC is totally independent of anything else, if you update via kies it may update your csc but unless you flash a new one via odin it won't be overwritten by custom roms.

You also don't need to update your csc its mostly just apn settings and maybe some region specific Apps eg iplayer in the uk.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yldlj:
So if i flash the latest KG3 firmware it will change the csc. Can i just flash the original csc package
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
CSC in stock rom post in Dev section choose the one for your area .

Flash after flashing full rom .

I was using my GPS today while in the St Louis area and I noticed that everytime I set my phone on my lap I would lose signal. I figured it may just be the area coverage in St Louis but my fiancees OG EVO worked just fine with no issues. Anyone else experiencing GPS issues. When I raised my phone up it would find me again after a few moments but once I set it back down it would lose signal again.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
I'm Running cm7 (nightlies) and ive been trying to get some wallpapers to look right, ever single one i have tried, all of them so far have shown up at the wrong resolution, or only a small part of the page. I have used Wallpaper set and save, the gallery, or uploading to dropbox and setting from webpage in dolphin browser.

My last attempt was to create my own

DPI was 196 and the resolution was 600x1024, which is apparently the right size for a non-scrolling wallpaper.

Again all above methods bring it to a terrible size on my screen.

I then tried multi-live wallpaper, and set a single image. This is the only thing that actually displays my image at the correct size, but... It is slow, it brings up a loading symbol when i unlock the screen, or when i rotate the screen. This is not ideal, i would rather a more native method that doesn't lag when i do those things.

any suggestions?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IFLATLINEI:
Nope, but QuickPic did the trick for me. Not much different than the native Gallery. Just better.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
Just as reference, if i try to save from browser, or use gallery or quickpic. this happens

Whereas if i use multi-live

I think it is because the dpi is 196, i think the browser and gallery are defaulting to a lower 72dpi, then blowing the resolution up to match.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namesjason:
I'm honestly curious how exactly does a jig work. In detail I know you just plug it in and you go into download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
It applies 301kOhms of resistance across pins 4& 5. That forces dl mode. Any more technical will require someone smarter than me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
it doesn't send 301k ohms into the pins, thats how much resistance you need to send the proper voltage across those ports. different voltages across certain pins trigger things. like how your phone can tell if its in a wall charger it just charges, when plugged into a pc it gives you the option to mount the sdcard, when plugged into a dock it should go into car mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
The important thing is that when I plug in my jig, isee a yellow triangle with a robot digging his ass off.

Also, thanks for a better explanation.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
Here are some screens from mine!

Using LauncherPro. The music widget is from PowerAMP, a really great music player. The wallpaper is Starfield 3D Live Wallpaper, good looking, smooth, configurable and not resource hungry (unless one tunes it that way)!

RoCk oN!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
:)

I'm using Go Launcher EX , and as for the theme

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wed.go.launcherex.theme.cube

- I've customized the animation transitions to make sure the phone is always stress tested and to see how RAM optimizations would really affect it.

Cylinder effect for the Appdrawer and Cube (Out) for the homescreen transitions.

Ironically not many wallpaper's look good with the black status bar of SGSL, I was wondering If anyone could change the color to white and green like Huwawei or HTC phones that would be amazingly appreciated :D, Most wallpaper's that look good are grunge textures or materials Wood, Glass etc.

As for the clock, it's the SGII Digital Clock widget that I took from the SGSII thread. It's amazing if you ask me.

Not doing a master clear does not cause problems. I have personally never done it at all.

So we need more info. What does the phone do? If it does anything st all, stops on the att loops on and off, any sign of life, there is a pretty good chance you can fix it yourself.

If it does nothing but sits there like a corpse in a coffin, then that is a brick and the only fix is jtag unbricking, mobiletechvideos.com offers that service for 50 u.s. Dollars.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] apols:
So I bricked my TF by trying to root it using a method developed for an older firmware. I was on the most recent (as of yesterday). So I used Nvflash to recover a stock image which is at 8.4.4.5-20110527. If I manually check for updates, I don't find anything.

Can I install the updates manually (if so, where do I find them)?

Or, is something not the right MD5 so Asus doesn't view my tab as stock?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ondoy1943:
There is a post somewhere (i cannot remember) that says after successful unbricking to 8.4.4.5 via nvflash, you have to manually update using the official asus 8.4.4.5 firmware taken from here: ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101/. The same post says that after the manual update, you will be able to get an ota to 8.4.4.11. Just try; there will be no harm done except a waste of time and effort. ;)

Here lies Devastation......... by Devastation Inc

This is a rom ive been tinkering around with for awhile now

It has the look of Leedroid but is really our stock rom wich

i tried to port Leedroid to.

Thanks to Weasel00 ( Jared ) of 2fast Roms and XDA for all his help with build.prop.. without him this wouldnt be possible.. thanks Jared

Dont worry about the name.. it will not destroy your fone.. i jus

thought it was a cool name.

If someone could test it out for me that would be great and post

problems you run into

again.. this only looks like Leedroid becuz i ported it to a stock

CDMA rom.. it doesnt have the overclocking or any of the goodies

from Leedroid

Ive only tested on my fone ( everthing seems to work fine on my Htc Desire ) but may not on other devices

Please only run this if you have a unlimited data plan for now.. it keeps switching from home to roaming on my fone

so for now this is not a everyday rom..

Things i changed

Boot animation to- Crysis animation

Boot sound to- crysis

but ive plans for other changes

On 1st boot you should have 140 mb free

App2sd

UOT Kitchen will work on this rom if you want to theme it differenty

This has only been tested on HTC Desire.. idk if it will work on other devices

Youre welcome to try though and if it does.. please post your device and i will

update post.

1st boot will take some time so jus hang in there.

Upon boot there may be a force close 1-3 times.. just keep pressing force close till theyre gone and everything is smooth sailing from there

Flash as you normally would.. and always.. always do a nandroid backup!!!

Anytime you flash.. you flash at your own risk!!

Any feedback is welcome

http://www.mediafire.com/?cjmwz5xxi7m6aa0

Id also like to thank 2fast of 2fsast Roms for pointing me in the right direction on this and for any help he's willing to give

[Desire Android Development] 2fast4u88:
Ok since I see where I came off the wrong way. What needs done is you need to add to the op that this truely isn't leedroid. It has the looks but nothing else. As in probably 90% of the features are not there. Mainly anything to do with the kernel itself (oc, uv and others due to using our stock kernel). It isn't no faster than our stock froyo sense builds.

What I would recommend to do since this has force close issues with out digging into it trying to fix it. Is to start with our stock build and add the same things to it.
[Desire Android Development] 2fast4u88:
The gsm boot image is different from the cdma. Being the board is different the kernel in the boot image will not work. So it will not boot. We are stuck using the stock boot img till source is dropped or we get a working sense kernel.

Which means your boot.img will not work.
[Desire Android Development] con247:
And leedroid is just sense 1.x so it wouldn't be any different if we are using our same kernel. This thread got my hopes up so high :(
[Desire Android Development] John_Blaze:
Has anybody even bothered to flash it?
[Desire Android Development] 2fast4u88:
This is what I was afraid of by his first post. So anyone that looks at this it is not leedroid. This is more so stock sense. It just has leedroid's framework and apps. The rest is our stock sense. This means no speed, overclock, undervolt or anything of that nature. Anything that deals with the kernel that is.

Now if some of the other stuff that should work with our kernel if it works or not is beyond me.
