[Android Software Development] Futur Innovations:
Does anyone have the color names and/or the color hex-codes for the colors used in the honeycomb UI? Such as the blue in the tabs and status bar, the green in the progress bar, greys, etc. Thanks in advance :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rikochet33:
Hi, I want to know if there was a way to save files of 4gb or more on the internal sd card...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
You can't - for the ease of mounting it via USB mass storage, it's formatted FAT.

Honeycomb devices don't have this limitation, on the other hand you have to deal with MTP for file transfer. Can't have both.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rikochet33:
thanks for the answer, have another question: if I format my SD card to NTFS... gingerbread will not recognize it when mounted?, it will be readable?

How can I transfer files via MTP, is there a software or something? I google some but I don´t get it...

I want to play 720 & 1080p movies in there, and there are no files less than 4 gigs, so... there must be some solution to this...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
With some init script hacking, it might be possible to support an ext4-formatted external SD card. Linux boxes would be able to mount this but not Windows machines.

I have no experience with adding MTP to Froyo/Gingerbread devices, and no real inclination to do so - MTP is a pain in the ass on Linux systems. I'm also running Gingerbread now so I can't use the HDMI output (and I just use my PS3 for that purpose anyway), so in my case I just reencode to 480p and be done with it.

Even 720p encodes for my tablet never come to more than 2-3 gigs, and that's Baseline Profile H.264 which is a decent amount larger than Main/High profiles at the same quality level.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
better off formatting ext4 or other linux file system, though i havent tried it and cant guarantee it will work. ntfs and linux dont always mix. the newest linux kenrels can read and write to it (i think) but im not so sure about what is in gingerbread or if ntfs is fully supported in linux yet.

kies can do mtp but i dont think it supports the infuse. you might need icecream sandwhich or honey comb for it to work on other mtp applicaions, i dont think media player will see it. considering the codec support on the gs line and infuse you's think samsung would have though about the 4gb limit and provided a way to overcome it. but they didn't. that would have really set the gs line apart.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rohit3192:
Alternatively you can re-encode you movies with Super/Handbreak,etc to smaller size but same quality.

As screen size is 4.5" with resolution 600x480(can't recall exactly) it does not make sense to use 720p or 1080p files of size say 4gb and above.

Just my 2 cents.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rikochet33:
just another question... ¿Do you know if Samsung Galaxy SII plays a whole 1080p movie file without lagging like Infuse does?

BTW, I´ve tried handbrake and... it's simply awesome, and so simple to use at once!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rohit3192:
no, i have no experience with s2.

handbreak's advantage is that it is damn fast.

you can re size output for 800x480 screen and have smaller size file.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rikochet33:
yuup, actually reencoded a huge 1080p (13gb) movie to 720x380 remaining at only 1.5 gb and looks so crisp and clear!!!, great software!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Yeah. Handbrake saves a LOT of space if you're not planning on using the HDMI output features.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rohit3192:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHyi2QfIefk&feature=related
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rikochet33:
I was making some experiments in reencoding one 720p in Handbrake, put it a 720p file of 7 gigs, and forget to resize it at 480p in settings dialog, so file stills at 1280 and setting with an output of 2000 Mb, so at the end, I really get amazed of how the same file stills looking like it was the original 7GB but only 2GB and same exact definition!!! How could this is possible? apparently, this can´t be happen because simple physics, but... well, simply happens.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Blu-Ray movies and such are mastered at ridiculously high bitrates to get every last ounce of quality out of them - basically with the only limitation being "has to fit in 25 gigabytes or you're incurring a double-layer cost".

So often you can drop bitrate significantly without any significantly noticeable losses in quality. There ARE losses, but most humans can't notice them.

Also if it was 720p MPEG-2 (aka a TV recording), it's H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) utterly smokes MPEG-2 in terms of bitrate vs. quality tradeoffs.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m00nman:
I had this problem a long time ago with x10i as well (I have not seen anyone with x10a to have this issue). Anyway, long story short. You can't do anything, you are stuck with 1.6.

I was stuck trying to flash this phone periodically for 6 month. Finally I just sold it because I got sick of it. The funny thing is that many people have this issue, but it seems every time somebody asks about it - nobody knows about it. Maybe people just get rid of this phone with the issue and never buy SE anymore :D and therefore never visit this forum to comment when people have similar problems.

P.S. I loved that phone, if it wasn't for this I would've still had it.

Hey guys, i was considering trading in my Evo 4g and getting an Evo 3D, where should i go to get the best deal, and how much would it cost?
[EVO 4G General] github:
Online shops almost always have the best prices and no tax.

Try and sell your EVO locally (craigslist, friends, family, etc) or at least on eBay if you want to deal with that. You might get a fair amount for a trade in still from Sprint, but not likely.

EVO 3D is currently $144 on Amazon Wireless for new lines, $179.99 upgrade. Shop around and see if you can do better. Be sure to factor in TAX if applicable.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Euclid's Brother:
Hi guys..

I'd like your thoughts on the best way to implement a paid license pack to unlock premium features in a separate free app.

I have this working, but want to know if there's a better method.

My free app has some Premium Features that require the user to purchase a license pack (apk) from the market. If you run the license pack by itself, it just gives a message that this is just a license pack for "so and so" application.

My free application launches the license pack apk via "startActivivityForReturn". If it gets back the proper message, then I set a flag in my free app saying that the license was found and it allows the user to use the premium features.

The license pack itself uses the Android Market Licensing (LVL) API.

Thanks in advanced.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hakane:
Hi EB,

I used in-app billing for similar concept in my app but in my case subscription is involved as well . I have 2 in-app items for different subscription periods. when a user buys any of it (or they can buy both :) ) purchase record (also licence record in my case) is created in database with expire date ( of course I don't put it as a plain text :) ) and when the app starts I check expire date, set flag variable and check this flag before run any premium feature. I was bit worried about performance at the start but I'm quite happy with it now. Even though it's bit tricky to implement the in-app billing and to get it working, once you crack it, it works fine.

Thanks,

Hakan
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Euclid's Brother:
Great idea. I have it mostly working, but can't test it end to end since my app is already published w/o the billing permission. I'll have to upload a dummy version to test with.

CM is constantly updating its code for various OS fixes every few days. You can either use nightly builds (the name comes from the fact that for open source code people would upload their code during at night and the resulting amalgam would come out as "new" code but often unrefined so it would be less stable)

or go with the latest stable builds with minor updates to the code.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] DanRyb:
OK I figured I'd update.

The version on the SDX site is 1.0.14 or 1.0.13. Both force quit on me. I loaded back up (had made a backup) of the Videos.apk that had come preinstall on the Tab and the version was 1.0.10.

Anyway, I extracted that Videos.apk to my PC and decompiled it - I figured I would recreate the fixes from the SDX site on the version that came pre-installed and then maybe it wouldn't force close. Well, after decompiling it, the smali folder that was referenced didn't exist. I don't know if it didn't decompile properly (I didn't get any error messages...) or what, but I figured just to try, I'd rent a movie and see if it played.

Lo and behold, it plays just fine! I'm wondering if it's because it's an older version and they didn't do the root checking?

Just figured I'd let you guys know if case you were too hesitant to try because you were rooted.
