[General Questions and Answers] comrad:
Hello, I am looking into possibilities of Android devices (already existing or coming up in near future) to be used as a replacement for paper + ink signatures. Could this work ?

Here are my main concerns:

1.) Most of the devices nowadays work only with capacitive pens which typically don't have the feel of real pen + ink and also lack the precision which can all result in an altered shape of the signature when compared to paper + ink.

2.) Are there any devices now or in near future that will support pressure recognition ? (E.g. the harder you press the thicker the drawn line)

Since I've seen electronic signature pads in banks and they record actual pixels + the pressure data - the basic idea is if we could do the same on Android device, record pixels (without altering the shape of signature) + record pressure data - it would be as good as what banks use - so in theory it should be strong enough to be used for legal acts (as a full replacement of hand written signature) Or if that's not true then maybe someone with good security knowledge could enlighten me what data would need to be stored (with current state of touchscreen technology it would be good news if e.g. pressure data were not needed after all...).

So far the closest device most suited for this I could find seems to be HTC Flyer but I suspect it doesn't support pressure recognition - is that correct ? Then I also found some rumors about pressure recognition display technology "coming" but it's not obvious to me if it's matter of months or years.

[General Questions and Answers] comrad:
That looks exciting ! Just to be sure - am I correctly assuming that at the moment there is no Android device on the market that supports pressure recognition / pressure sensitive pens ?

Hi i'm new here and i have some question need you guys help.

1)I'm now on stock rom and kernel with ext3 file.Do i need to do anything if i want to load new rom or kernel with ext4 from cwm 5.0.2.0?

2)If my current rom or kernel is ext4 and i want to load back to ext3,what should i do?

Sorry for my bad english.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
You don't need to do anything to switch to EXT4, ROMs convert on install. Take a backup of your stock setup, you can restore that to get back to EXT3 as you're using CWM v5.
[LG Optimus 2x] sephiroth76:
Thanks you Rusty!

So the newest cwm will automatically convert it to ext4 right?!Except for ext3,i need to convert it using backtoext3 from Paul or restore back to stock.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
No.

A ROMs updater-script will convert to EXT4 if it needs it. CWM v5 will convert back to EXT3 when restoring a backup of an EXT3 ROM.
[LG Optimus 2x] sephiroth76:
Thanks again Rusty!

I get the picture now!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.cambo:
My cousin has an EVO 3D and he is currently running a ROM that has the beats software built in like the newer HTC phones coming out. I was wondering if there is already a ROM or if its in the works for the thunderbolt?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
Fake. 99 percent of all Beats audio ports are fake.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.cambo:
It's clearly not fake I saw and used it, I plugged in the beats and it said enable beats in the status bar. The control talk worked and the quality sounded great too. The EVO devs are really doin amazing right now is the word on the street.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
oh dear....

Calling Adrynalyne out is NOT usually a good idea on these kinds of matters. I'll be standing by to see you get schooled.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
A notification icon clearly proves it works. I will kindly not bother with this one, because I know better and there is no point in discussing it further.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
Alright, I lied.

Here is why Beats is fake on most devices: Because the audio drivers cannot be ported. Beats is not just an apk.

Beat consists of at the very least:

A notification apk.

A Beats aware music player that can switch audio profiles when detecting Beats headphones.

Drivers.

Depending on who you ask, a supporting DSP.

Can all roms run the notification apk? Yes, along with the appropriate modifications to display it.

Can they all run the Beats aware music player? Sort of.

There are are tutorials out there on how to make your music player Beats aware to work with any headphones. What they actually do: Trick the apk into thinking its connected to Beats headphones. HOWEVER: They strip out the profile switching code, and are basically just triggering the notification with no change for anything else. If you do not believe me, go diff a beats enabled music apk and one that is not.

Can drivers be ported? Not usually. Go grep drivers and see if they contain Beats code in them. I bet the Kingdom does not. The DHD does not, and we DEF. do not. The Sensation may.

So, how do I know there is more to it than just the music apk? Besides the obvious code doing nothing but triggering the notification?

I have two Thunderbolts. I "ported" Beats to Thunderbolt A, and kept Thunderbolt B stock.

First, I tested Thunderbolt A alone. I was impressed, the sound was GREAT! Not believing my sense of placebo effects, I tested it next to the Thunderbolt B. Same song, same headphones, switching back and forth.

It was EXACTLY the same.

So I did some research. Nearly every thread out there of anyone who truly spent the time investigating, found it to be placebo.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slack3r:
This, beats is a huge gimmick and doesn't actually do anything. I've actually found that it makes things sound worse and clips a bunch of frequencies on my touchpad...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BurnOne77:
Beats lmao

I hope noone really buys into this **** on the phones or any of the headphones either, garbage all junk.

I can't believe what people will buy today that are easily manipulated and uneducated.

I hope none of this **** finds its way near my phone.

And why not doing this rom with the stock samsung theme, with your eventually "extras" mods, and then I do my modest "graphical" part? it will be easier for you and I will be happy to help. :)

I repeat myself, I prefer a custom rom with a stock theme (here a stock samsung galaxy tab theme... :o) and after to have the choice to apply a theme. And the most important: it's easier to themed with a stock rom theme! ;-)

I prefer to keep my thread theme and users could take my theme here, thanks. My theme will be always optionnal, please respect that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] SeanHacker:
thats actually what i was saying. i will port for those that want the extended power mods and hide the status bar mods with your theme so that it will work for "In Paris" and then throw it your way as an extra for those that want it. that way your theme will always be maintained in your thread for you users. that way it take any work you would need to do in order to get your theme working on "in paris" or any other rom for that matter. but whatever you decide bro im cool with it.

I'm using an HD7 (O2-UK branded). The most useful new features so far are:

- To-Do-List in the Calendar app. (I don't actually show it in the Calendar)

- Groups (Faster than Quick Dialer, etc.)

Now thatbis a hard one, there are so many excellent new features, but for me it has to be the new email features, linked inboxes and threaded conversations
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple11:
I cant think of many as most of the update has been more cosmetic than productive..

upgrades: app jump list, email thread, sms read and reply, saving camera setting, powering on from windows key and not just power key.

downgrades: removing track timer from volume rocker, making the search key useless, death of marketplace since mango release (mango has been a no-show, atleast in developers scene).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leftspeaker2000:
My favourite feature on mango would have to be hands down Facebook/WLM integration i love not having to have a third party app.

I do have to agree alot of the updates were not functional but rather cosmetic and of those i really hate delayed animation on the lock screen when you tap unlock on your phone and the ugly Letters in the applications to allow you to jump to a specific letter.

Hi,

I've successfully modded my MS2 yesterday using (walter's?) "ms2ginger-rc2". It's been quite easy - I expected it to be much more difficult.

Unfortunately it's impossible to add accounts (app crashs). Therefore I plan to roll back to the sysbackup Imade before with Clockworkmod and to re-mod it with a newer/ better/ more stable variant.

Can you suggest one that you are happy with? I am fine with Blur - it can be included.

Anything to keep in mind for the rollback? Just revert to the backup via the bootloader?

CU,

Meszi.

i have tried CM7 and was before using it on BackFlip, but on Milestone 2 i am really loving MIUI its great ROM.

The problem is as i saw no one who is maintaining these CM7 or MIUI rom is not Dev, so i kinda think Milestone 2 can perform better with some optimalisation for it. The reason is as far as Stock Froyo was slow, CM7 and MIUI did not show kinda speed progress or increase i guess it is performing same as stock ROM or maybe little but only little better, on BackFlip there was really dramatic speed change on CM7 but the dev around BF was more active then on Milestone and i am happy with what we have already.
[Milestone 2 General] mpabegg:
As far as I know, the MIUI is the latest one. But that's just because endles7's ( the guy who is porting CM7 to M2) phone is bricked at the moment.

Both, CM7 and MIUI are great ROMs, but, at least for now, if you're looking for the newest one, then MIUI is the one for.

I believe that CM7 will be supported again soon, there is a movement on the forum to buy endles7 a new one if his is really bricked forever.

I'm using MIUI because o like the interface better.

Hope it helped =)

Upgraded to "ms2ginger 1.1" but still problems with accounts management

Hi,

I reverted to Froyo, reloaded the backup I had done with Clockworkmod, made an app backup using Titanium and re-modded the device to "ms2ginger 1.1". But still there is the same issue with accounts ("Konten" in German): When trying to add an account the app crashes.

I am fine with the rest ... it works far faster than with Froyo.

Is there a way to get accounts/"Konten" work again? Probably by finding it in the Titanium backup and taking the old app or by (re)installing some working .apk?

At the moment I am still very new to this topic ... until last week I still believed in the myth having bought an "unmoddable" device. :rolleyes:

I'd try CM7, too ... but if it's possible to have it done with "ms2ginger" I'd at first prefer trying it that way.

Any suggestions?

Switching from MS2Ginger to CM7 Nightly

Sorry, if it appears to be a dumb question. But at the moment I am still very new to this topic and want to avoid bricking the device by forgetting a thing when switching from "MS2Ginger 1.1" to some CM7 ROM...

When reading the installation steps of the nightly build (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239778)...

*START copy&paste*

[How to Install]:

1. Download all in one update.zip

2. Make sure you have CWM3.x/4.x working. Or download from here.

3. select all in one.zip then apply update.

4. double wipe(if you are coming from previous CM7 version,just wipe cache/dalvik)

5. For CWM4.x, reboot and done.

For CWM3.x, download fixed-sbf and flash it. Then done.

*END copy&paste*

...it's not plain to me if I needed to switch back to the official Froyo or if "updating" with the all in one.zip and wiping the data would be sufficient to get rid of the previous "MS2Ginger". :-/

Any recommendations?

CU,

Mészi.

Do you try with "RSD Lite" software to put the stock Rom ?

and then you do the update to the custom rom ... no brick with this method i think ! but i'm not expert sorry ! ;)
[Milestone 2 General] meszi1977:
That's the question.

If it's not necessary I'd directly load the CM7 ROM using CWM.

But, anyway: As long as I can access the boot loader (PowerOn + Cam + VolDown) I could still revert to the official Froyo if updating to CM7 directly would not work. :)

I think I just give it a try...

CU,

Mészi.
[Milestone 2 General] buggsbeny:
exactly ... i was afraid last friday while updating my stock rom for MIUI ... my battery goes out !

all day i was thinking that my lovely Milestone was bricked ... but with "rsd lite" i re-install my original froyo ... and then i could re-root it and put the miui version !

last version is perfect ! just the problem of keyboard layout but there is a script who put it back to azerty ...

have a good luck for your update !

[Milestone 2 General] meszi1977:
So you would recommend downgrading to the official Froyo at first? *somewhat confused* :-/
[Milestone 2 General] buggsbeny:
... :( i don't really know ... just said that for me that was the only way to rescue my bootlooping m2 !

normaly you can update from any rom, just don't forget to clear cache, "dalvik cache" too (don't remeber the name) ...

the best is to do a factory reset before rebooting too ... but it's not always necessary ... :confused: from miui 1.09.23 to miui 1.10.8 i don't have to do it ... :cool:

they don't talk about it in the related post of your rom ?
[Milestone 2 General] meszi1977:
Ok, thx. I am gonna just try it wiping the cache and overwriting the ROM. ROM switching is not relly described in the MS2Ginger HowTos. *g*

Will post my results here...

Good luck !
