Child Proof Gadget-Child Lock

A new app is there in google play store. It is also useful if your kid is playing with your android phone. It has all required features, with this its size is very small and it is harmless for your phone. It locks phones homescreen, calls, sms, settings everything which you don't want to allow the kid. it has a facility to create separate 'kid area', where kid can access only allowed apps.

App name : Child Proof Gadget-Child Lock
[HTC EVO 3D] exhilaration:
Please don't kill me for asking this question but I've searched and searched without finding an answer:

Can I install a custom ROM (I copied viperROM to my SD card) using TWRP? Is that what the "Install Zip" option is for? Or do I need to get ROM Manager like all the tutorials on the web say to?

I used Titanium backup to backup up all my stuff, then I successfully got root+s-off using Revolutionary, TWRP recovery is running perfectly as well. I just made a Nandroid backup but I don't know the next step...:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] jfcooley:
Yes, use recovery. Install zip. Do a nandroid backup first.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vesnik:
Yep, flash through recovery. Using the "Install Zip" feature that you saw.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jakedude2011:
Boot in to recovery:

1/ Wipe data/Factory reset

Wipe Cache partition

Wipe Dalvik cache (in "advanced")

2/ Install zip from sd-card...

Wait... reboot phone... wait... and wait... done!
[HTC EVO 3D] exhilaration:
These are the options I see:

1) Wipe Cache

2) Wipe Dalvik Cache

3) Wipe Everything (Data Factory Reset)

4) Wipe Battery Stats

5) Wipe Rotation Data

Do you advise I do 1, 2, and 3?

[General Questions and Answers] RussianMenace:
My DINC recently took a crap on me, and I'm currently looking around for a replacement. However, what I want to know if in the meantime it's possible to re-activate my old "dumb" phone (LG enVtouch or an old razor) without affecting/losing my plan (unlimited data).

~cheers
[General Questions and Answers] Hans Schmucker:
That depends on your carrier. In Germany it's not common to have a provision in your contract that forces you to stick to the phone given to you by the carrier... in fact I haven't heard about such a provision anywhere, but you might just want to check with them.

I sometimes switch to my old Palm Centro when I'm away from a charging station for more than 4 days because the battery life is better and I haven't gotten any complains yet :)
[General Questions and Answers] treytastic:
If you are with Verizon (EnV phones in US) then switching to a dumb phone will cause you to drop your unlimited plan and you wont be able to get it back. I would recommend switching to a different smart phone while you are looking. An old one from a friend maybe?
[Thrive Accessories] DarkPhoenix:
I ordered this backpack just to carry my Thrive around in not expecting much, but I'm amazed at what I got for 20 bucks. This backpack appears to be made fairly well with good materials,good padding, beefy zippers, and straight stitching. The size is perfect. It fits the Thrive great, it's not too big to be bulky, but not too small to be girly either. It has the large main compartment with the slot for the netbook, plus more, a front side zipper pocket for cables, external drives and all that fun stuff, and a small zippered pocket across the bottom center of the backpack. You never know when you might need that stuff and now I'll have room to be prepared! It's available in several different colors. I really recommend this to anyone looking for a way to carry their Thrive and charger/cables around.

[Dell Streak 7] mechanizator:
Hello and greetings from Poland.

I'm new owner of Streak 7 - birthday's gift. I saw on few sites, that in specification it has hdmi output. Strange, because I didn't see any.

If so, is there a possibility to buy docking station, like for Streak 5, that would have a possibility to connect my S7 to hdmi display?

Thank you for information.
[Dell Streak 7] sainthooligan:
Yes, there is.

[Dell Streak 7] mobilemedic:
Dock info. Dell is no longer selling Docks. I found out the hardway and got lucky. Ordered streak 7 on black friday and got it a week ago. Ordered dock same day and got it 3 days later. The dock that came (i didn't know until i got streak) is for the streak 5.. doesn't fit my streak 7. so i was about to return the item then the people at dell told me there is no docks available at all.

So i dissassembled the streak 5 dock and tried the main board on my streak 7 and it docked. charged and hdmi'd out just fine.

So if you can find a streak 5.. you can grind or use a pair of dikes to cut the ends off so you can fit the streak 7 in the tray and it will work just fine.

As for USB keyboard. I found out today from another site that i don't have handy that the Streak 7 supports USB Host mode. So if you can get a mini usb to female usb plug to plug into the dock you should be able to use standard usb keyboard with streak 7.

Good luck.

Will be posting my mods and pics soon.

Hi mobilemedic,

I own a Streak 7 and the (wrong) home dock for the streak 5, so it doesn't fit:mad: And I can't get the right home dock for the streak 7 anywhere here in germany.

[Motorola Droid X2] ferg40:
Although it's awesome that google has bought motorola, motorola is still its own company. It will be a long time before we see any bootloader love. Thoughts?
[Motorola Droid X2] Furioustylez:
I don't think google is worrying about a bootloader as of now. Im pretty sure they will open source the Motorola phones in the near future though.
[Motorola Droid X2] strifejester:
I think they will see how well things go with HTC first if they notice a shift in activations from Motorola hardware to HTC hardware then I think they will definitely push the unlocking plans ahead so they can keep market share. Just because Google owns them now I doubt they are going to let their reputation get tarnished any further. If anything I would expect Google to up the standards and try to make the Motorola's a premium dev device. It will be nice to see vendors compete for the Nexus line though. The competition drives innovation. If the Motorola engineers can make the best device then so be it but as of right now they are not making the best devices and do not deserve a Nexus branded device.
[Motorola Droid X2] j0kawild:
i think the biggest question really is will moto have a huge say in the next nexus device? either way i think this is a great move by google and even better news for devs and users
[Motorola Droid X2] SwiftLegend:
Google claims that the process of choosing the Nexus manufacture will stay the same. They say that by Christmas time, they are working closely with a manufacture to build an epic device. What I don't get is, how much easier can it be to work closely with a company than the one you own?!

Also, one Q&A said that this probably won't change the whole bootloader and blur crisis. Hopefully, Moto decides to just lock the Bloader, like HTC, and not encrypt it.
[Motorola Droid X2] funkencool:
Google's been pretty outspoken about the OPENess of phones since before they even released android(which is open source), even bidding over 14.5 billion $'s on a baseband to make sure we can do personally with our phones what we want, without legal repercussions.

They're even trying to combat the splintering of phones because of manufacturers changes to their AOSP(one of the reasons they havent released the honeycomb source, i believe) to a certain extent and are part of the reason why companys like HTC release the source for their kernels.

Anyway to me it seems like they had a dream of an open and free environment for phones, and that theyre gonna see it through. To me locked bootloader's would be first priority when it came to being OPEN.
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
I see a lot of people developing their own flavor of gingerbread for the Evo 3D and that's awesome. But I don't see much improving other aspects of the phone that could be universal... like the camera.

I'm a photographer/video producer so this sort of thing is important to me and I don't want to carry my big camera everywhere. We all know the biggest issue with the camera is the green-tinted pictures taken with the flash. I don't even see a white balance setting for the flash available to choose manually.

I had read that there were a lot of other features promised but removed from this phone's camera such as scene modes (though I could care less about this).

Another issue I've read about and noticed is the jpg compression used for the camera. It's good for the small screen and web, but too heavily compressed for anything else.

Then there's an issue of when you half-press the shutter button, it focuses (good) then press all the way it re-focuses. The proper way this should work is focus on half press, snap photo without another focus on the full press.

The shutter lag is awful too, but I guess it's pretty much the norm as far as phones go.

Of course I have a wishlist of things to be added *cough new mytouch camera cough* but someone needs to figure out this green flash problem first...
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
i have very little professional photography experience and def don't have the eye to pick up on the color differences as they appear very subtle to me.

are there any camera apps in the market which implement some of the features you've listed?

as far as modifying the htc camera apk file, it is not open sourced so all work will have to be done through reverse engineering.

the compression setting was mentioned a few days ago in a thread here and i did research it in the AOSP version of the camera apk which is open sourced. i was able to find the line with the compression setting and it should be fairly simple to modifying the settings panel to provide an option for the user to adjust this. all the info is in my post on that thread.

if you wanted to post up your wish list of camera features, or contact some of the camera app devs in the market with your feature list, given you have a professional photography background, i would think they would be open to your suggestions.
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
Thanks for the reply. I didn't realize it would take so much reverse engineering there. And yes, some photos with the flash are harder to tell the off white balance, but I stopped using the flash and never taking night pics with this phone... Day time photos are awesome if not for the compression.

I haven't had much luck in finding any camera apps yet, hasn't occurred to me really. But I do love HDR Pro for the hdr pics - if anyone's interested in experimenting with that (takes a couple pics in dif exposures then combines them for a more natural and detailed photo)

I guess I'll have to wait to see if HTC does anything more with it or search for an alternative. Thanks though.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
It's a phone. You'll never get true professional quality photos from a phone no matter what app you use. As a photographer you know that...f-stops, aperture, lenses and all the other stuff that photographers talk about can't really be changed on a phone's camera. To really get professional quality photos and video, even though phone cameras have gotten very good, you need to use the right equipment. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
You're right but that's not my complaint. As I stated, my biggest gripe is the green tinted photos with the flash and compression. There are features I'd like to see from the latest mytouch camera (native hdr, no shutter lag - which is done with a constant image stream or something like that, etc)

you can have some things improved with the software side of things, but yes, hardware is a limitation and I'm not expecting this to replace a professional camera.
[HTC EVO 3D] mvansomeren:
I've used HDR pro. I've also used Vignette which was my favorite camera app on the EVO 4G. It works on the 3D but of course you can only take 2D pictures with any of the third party cameras...so far.

On the HTC website/forum they do acknowledge the issues with the camera and say they are working on an update to correct them. I guess we'll see if that ever comes to fruition.

Language

Hi

I just bought a Transformer here in Germany and there is an option to change the language in the settings. Anyways if you want to flash just make sure that the serial number does not start with B70.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmyLeeBillyBob:
I bought a german tf101 with honeycomb 3.1. It was not possible to change the language to anything else. After I updated to 3.2 (stock, via OTA) I was able to change the language settings. In my case I changed the language to english, but there's loads more to chose from.

Edit: Also, B70 doesn't automaticly mean you can't root and flash. I got a B70 and I rooted just fine. True, chance are you can't root/flash (yet). But it might work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franula:

I'll have it my hands in 7 days, then will see.....

I hope i'll manage to root it and flash custom rom
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmyLeeBillyBob:
Stock means I use the offical Android version and official updates that are released over-the-air (OTA - meaning Internet via WiFi) by ASUS. So my Tab is "stock" apart from the fact that I rooted it.

The problem with B70 is that some of the B70 deviced appear to require a different decryption key. Different than the one that is known and used to root, that is. To root my B70 I could use a publicly know method which uses said decryption key to change the boot image. Other B70 devices cannot be rooted with that key.

There is more than a few people who will refuse to take the ROOT plunge and those are the people that will hope and pray for the next OS such as GB or ICS to come out for their phones. I understand at the same time they are posting on a site that is normally for rooted phones but I dont understand why most people have to be smartass about it. I am rooted but yet have I read a post about GB or new phone coming out and have to post a comment that does not belong there. CanesDrew wants everyone to be an expert that this point and wants a perfect world, what is a world with out the next OS or the next phone? My post got locked but it continues to get views why cause people do care about the next. I bet with ICS come out and the developers create the ROM we are going to see rooted people talking about how good everything is on this side of the fence, geez I wonder why the other side keeps asking when it is coming for them.

Eh, "gimme now" threads are generally semi annoying and tend to add nothing to the forum no matter if the OP is rooted or not. There's generally a logical reason why something isn't released yet that most of them seem to miss, whether it's a phone, os or just a rom.
