hi,

i installed new rom: Batista70 FOXHOUND EDITION 2.4.

i tried to install theme using the CWM from recovery mode, but it says that there r no files on the sd card, although several zip files files exist (i checked by connecting the phone to the computer). what can be the problem ?

thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palloquin:
Hi,

I was wondering if someone knows if it would be doable to write text as an overlay to a video feed... My main goal would be to add GPS data (speed, direction, etc) to the feed.

A similar question was asked over a year ago, but never got any feedback: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=758936

Maybe today's knowledge will enable us to do this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hrk:
Yes, you can.

Regarding your original post, you don't even need to record video. You just need to prepare a layout w/ a FrameLayout containing a Canvas/SurfaceImage where you will output the video from the Camera, and a TextView (or a more complex view depending on your particular needs) where you will output GPS data (or any other text).

Job done.

If you want to record it as a video, it will require more work, because you'll have to overlay the video feed with the text, then re-encode the feed. I haven't yet dealt with video recording, I made a simple (private) app which overlaps the current date and time on the captured image from the Camera. Since you're creating new images, you need to be sure your device has enough RAM to do the processing (or scale the image to be smaller and require less RAM).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palloquin:
That sounds rather simple (even though I have never build an Android App in my life, I have built for other platforms.)

But, this way you 'just' build an app that shows your video this way. What if I would want to change the video feed so any application (android camera app, Skype, etc..) will get this feed with the added overlay... Would THAT be doable?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hrk:
In order to accomplish that, you'd need to rewrite the (internal) code which talks to the camera. Either at kernel level, or at android API level.

So either with a custom kernel or a custom ROM. No other way.

New LG phone comes with HDMI ADAPTER.

It's that LG 3D phone.

It's the micro HDMI to normal HDMI cable.

I wonder why we did not get it???

[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
You mean it came in the box?

They're only like $1.50 online. Whats the big deal?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
Because if you use the one that came in the box and it fries your phone, it's covered under warranty?

Are there any online that are cheap and GUARANTEED not to fry your phone?

Offtopic: I can't believe shorting any pins on an HDMI interface to the phone chassis (or to one another) can fry your phone. What kind of ****ty design is that anyway?

the manual that came with mine said that a microsd card in included in the package. there wasn't. the guy at the wind mobile store took down my info and said he'd get back to me. it's been 6 months. i don't think i'm hearing back.

oh, i also did not get an hdmi cable, though i did buy a package with it, a usb cable, screen protectors and probably a bunch of other crap for something like $10 off ebay a week after i bought my phone, so it's all good. i guess.

[HTC Sensation] indie:
Hi, I have just come over from the HD2 threads as I'm using a Sensation XE now :). My battery current when running android on standby was around 7 - 20 ma. On my XE it is between 180 and 220ma. I killed all running tasks etc but still no change. i'm using Battery Monitor Widget to check the currents. The only thing i have on is mobile internet. I also have on background sync but that was on with my HD2 as well. Is there anything I should look out for that my being draining the battery? Also I'm on stock rom
[HTC Sensation] brannos99:
What did you already tried to solve the problem? Did you already do a soft reset/wipe all data (except that on the SD card)? How long is your battery life?

Yesterday i called HTC because my battery life is reduced drastically compared to a few weeks ago. They told me to turn off everything like bluetooth, wifi etc (after a soft reset) and put the phone in plane mode while screen brightness was 100% and screen time out never so the screen stays on during the test. Next I needed to write down how fast the battery was drained. My battery was at 55% after 2 hours (without doing anything with the phone). According to HTC this was to fast and therefore they send me a new battery.
[HTC Sensation] indie:
In 1 hour of standby the battery has drained 5%. the battery current usage is way to high for standby. I have had this phone on 3 days so I dont think i need to do a full wipe. I dont use wifi or bluetooth and they are always switched off. Seems strange to have a high battery usage while in standby compared to my hd2. This battery is meant to be a high capicity
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
use battery monitor widget (use a beta version from the forum, not the market). set it to "mA corrections" and choose automatic from the list of supported phones. i get anywhere from 5-7 mA drain (standby, of course).
[HTC Sensation] indie:
from here ?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905999

it doesnt show beta
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Try turning OFF mobile data AND sync. Then see how the standby current drain is.

[HTC Sensation] indie:
Sorry, i changed to automatic and now it -40 and 60. Is it right now or should it be lower?
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
mine's weird, it'll start higher and gradually gets lower. see what happens in a few hours of standby.
[HTC Sensation] decebal12345:
Hi indie.

How is your battery drain now? I ask because I have same problem (original rom) and I don't know what to do.
[HTC Sensation] indie:
Hi, I'm on stock Rom too. Once I kill all tasks by the default task manager, it ranges between 25 - 60. It does take a bit of time to get there. I Have seen it as low as 19. You need to follow steps and get the beta widget and set it to corrections as mentioned earlier in the posts.
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Same here, took about half an hour to go from ~-100mA to -30mA :D

However I can't seem to get 0mA when fully charged. Anyone else with the same issue?
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
same here. stays at 100mA after 100%. i can live with that :)
[HTC Sensation] Laynee1:

Just a quick update. I let my battery completely die (never done this before) and charged my phone fully. I then deleted the battery stats.txt and switched phone off. the charged some more. Now when my phone uses -5 on standby which it never did before.
[HTC Sensation] indie:
Well took my phone off charge at 11.05 today and its been on standby. It's now 15.52 and battery is still on F. Battery drain is now at -3 so i'm well happy.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jtreason:
I'm wondering how people in the US are buying their HTC Flyer. I thought Bestbuy sold them but I went to 4 best buy on yesterday and none of them had stock. None of them knew when or if they would get more. I looked online and no best buy in my area has them (very odd since I live in L.A.). Is there another place to get them for $299? Is this device discontinued? I really don't want to go the ebay route. Thanks in advance!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Zlatty:
When the price drop occurred most places sold out without any new inventory .... I don't think they are getting more shipments as they are trying to get rid of all of the accessories ...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dstrauss:
Looks like Best Buy and HTC pulled a "Touchpad" at better than salvage pricing. Our Best Buy says they are waiting for deliveries of the new Jetstream model, but I can't see much demand for device that costs $699 and requires a two year contract on AT&T.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lrs421:
No fire sale, they lowered the price to compete with the Kindle Fire. After that they've been selling out quickly. I purchased mines two weeks ago. One store in NYC had them. The following week every store in my area had them.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kardain:
Bestbuy.com lists it as online only. I don't know if they do a ship to store option.. If so, that will save a few bucks on shipping costs
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] barry99705:
I lucked out and got the last one in my area.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TidBit:
I got mine about 2.5 weeks ago at the BB here. They only had 3 left. I went back to BB 2 nights ago to get the invisible shield by Zagg ($9.99) and I got the last one.

They still have cases and styluses, though.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GrandAdmiral:
The stores in the New Orleans area still had them when I visited over the weekend.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Brau0303:
well, 4 out of 10 stores in or near Omaha have them in stock based on the website and they show as backordered otherwise. While I think the 7" is an ideal size for my needs, I think the general market may lean toward the larger screens as a mainstream device and the smaller screens thought of more as book readers.

cheers

BR
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jtreason:
Thanks for the input guys. I just left one best buy and they didn't even have the flyer on display anymore. I have a cousin in Texas who is close to a best buy that has stock so I will have him buy it for me. Everything seems to indicate that the flyer is at the end of it's life and I have to wonder if it will be updated to HC or ICS. Nevertheless, I still want to buy one since it is pocketable and allows me to take precise notes.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] myke66:
I picked mine up about 2 weeks ago and i got the very last one. I used to work at the geeksquad in the store and i was talking to the GM and he was saying they sold out really quick after the price drop. He didnt mention anything about it being discontinued though.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kenypowa:
The Flyer is not being discontinued, it's just been selling really well.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Laaf2005:
I had been looking for a flyer for a couple of weeks, checking my best buy every day. All stores close to me had been showing out of stock. Then last weekend I went to the store and they had 1 in the store so I bought it. It was new and unopened so it wasnt a return. I think its just taking a while to full stock. I'm sure the price drop on accessories is because they have too much on the shelf vs the number off flyers in stock.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Sess:
I just bought mine yesterday. Had to drive to gretna to the bestbuy mobile store to get teh last one, after visiting the 3 stores in/around Metairie and calling the houma store (only one to show inventory online). After calling around I lucked out and the BBM store had 1 that wasn't showing in inventory. There aren't any within a 50 mile radius of new orleans! :) These things must be selling like hotcakes.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Want to pick one up but wasn't ready to pull the trigger. Only 3 stores have any in inventory. Concerned there will be no back fill and this is my last shot
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dstrauss:
You may be on your last shot...seems that Adroid device shelf-life is counted in "dog months" - in other words 5 months on the market is nearly 3 years - they definitely are not tied to an annual upgrade cycle.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
Hi all, the question is in the title. I have the newtons rings and decided to send it in for service now that my 90 days is almost up. Samsung emailed a UPS mailing label, so I assume I have to use my own box. If you got warranty service, how did you send your tab back in? I'd really prefer not to send the original box. Shouldn't they have sent a shipping box? Most other companies do that. BTW- I'm in the U.S.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seltaeb:
In this case, I think I would have used the original box and plenty of bubble wrap.

/except that I threw out the box about 10 mins after unpacking :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ansextra:
I had to send mine back a few months ago. I printed the shipping label and brought the Tab to Staples. They packed it in bubble wrap and shipped it. I don't think it cost more than a dollar or two for everything.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
So at the staples did you have to buy the bubble wrap or did they provide it? Did the use anything else; a box or packing paper, or was it just tablet : bubble wrap : mailing label? Also, how did they ship it back to you?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ansextra:
Staples provided the bubble wrap and a box (charged a minimal amount since they used a box that was going to be thrown out anyway). As I recall Samsung sent the Tab back in a box of their own. I could be wrong about that though. It's been a while.

Just wondering, has anybody been caught tethering using ATT and Barnacle wifi tether? I only use a couple hundred MB per month as is (on the unlimited plan), I'm just going on a short trip over the weekend and hoping I can tether to make things a little easier.

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
I hate to say this but everyone with Att is going to get caught for tethering if you do it. Its just a matter of time. Like I just got caught a week or two ago. I was doing it for almost 2 years.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
Cant speak for BArnacle but with WiFi Tether you will be fine, enjoy your trip.

Stop fear mongering! You yourself are not "everybody" so please speak for yourself and not everybody, you got caught (prob from APN or abuse). Not sure what method you were using but if it was custom APN of course your gonna get caught. With "WiFi Tether" app method the only way att is going to THINK you are tethering is if you continually have EXTREME data usage, and even then they have no proof and you can tell them to shove it. With "WiFi Tether" att cannot prove your tethering and they cannot remove the app from your phone. I use (and tether) between 1GB and 3GB data per month.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
I used barnacle for around 2 years and I got caught. And I m not trying to scare people. Jeeez. I am only telling people facts. I have been keeping up with the you getting served thread. And that's where I got the answer. I even use the same data usage as you.

Hack me if you can!​

Hey guys,

I am proud to present you four apps you may legally crack ;) (Well kind of, the Market policy actually doesn't allow you to disassemble downloaded apps, but who cares).

Each of these apps has a simple Activity asking you for a username and a serial.

Your goal is to find a working username/serial combination ^^

It starts really easy in Kids Mode and gets harder with every app. I recommend starting with Kids Mode or Easy.

Feedback is appreciated!

Good luck and have fun!

If you haven't decompiled an Android APK yet, google for

- baksmali

- dalvik opcodes

- smali

- apktool

- dex2jar (if you don't like opcodes)

- jdgui

If you don't know what adb, logcat or root means, don't download it!

Play Store links removed, please download APKs below.

Highscore* so far for Hard:

1. ricardopvz

2. regisca

3. Pimmos

4. chipwreck1

5. iuss

6. inzepinz

7. SteelBytes

8. inzzzz

9. lufuscu

10. tdski82

11. sehaas

12. Drakuwa

13. nihilus

14. orivier

Below is the APK for the hard version, so you don't have to buy it from the market ;)

Some hacking advise:

- There is not the solution to get the serial, if you are stuck, try another way to get it

- You don't have to understand all of the code (especially if you're trying the hard version), the only part you must understand is the code where the entered serial is checked with the generated serial.

- An easy way to find this part is by looking for strings (=text). For example, if it is not the right serial, try searching for "wrong", as it is shown in the toast.

- You could even crack the app. With cracking I don't mean making the app accept every serial (which would be easy), but e.g. display the correct serial instead of the message "Wrong serial". ;)

- And last but not least, don't let the code confuse you or give up! The hard app may look *very* complex, but at it's core it is not about how the serial is generated, but how it is checked.

*: To enter the Highscore, please enter the serial and username you used in the form or send it to me via pm

Now the question is, do you have to make a serial gen base of this or can you just patch the routine and bypass serial + username combo all together basically looks like a simple if then true !false statement.

It is coded in Java, so if you use dex2jar in combination with jdgui, you will see almost the same source code that is used for programming the app (in Java) .

And regarding cracking the app: The goal is to get the serial (it doesn't matter how) , so it wouldn't be enough to crack the routine that checks if it is the right one.

However it wouldn't be cheating to get the toast displaying the real serial ;-)

Even if not, try kids mode and download "alogcat" from the market. This app shows you all the logs from various apps.

Then try entering a serial and have a look at the logs. Make sure you switch with the Home Key, otherwise the serial won't be valid.
