[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
If you have the "scrolling" background image enabled, make a new document in photoshop, or your image editor of choice, and make it 960x800 pixels, then resize your image to that and save as png then move to phone. Somehow the default resize for these phones makes it blurry... but setting it to the correct resolution fixes it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
^^ setting the image resolution to 960 x 800 solves the blurry wallpaper problem.
[General Questions and Answers] donharden2002:
I'm returning my atrix 2 possibly this Sunday in order to buy one of these two phones.

Which one would you suggest and why please?

I'm leaning towards the vivid as I like sense more than touchwiz but once the roms start rolling in that won't matter much.

Thank you for your input.

I'm thinking for upgrade also. I'm in the same boat. Do you have unlimited data on att? Is there any word on LTE plans? I'm mainly interested if we'll be grandfathered in LTE unlimited.

Wow, no problem boss. Joking, thanks for moving it.

[General Questions and Answers] donharden2002:
I don't have unlimited data which sucks. I wish I could tell you that you would be grandfathered in on lte but I don't even think att knows right now since it's barely out. As far as I've read the same rates apply for the 2gb plan and the 200mb plan. That's about all I know so far and I'm sure if you call am att store they won't be able to help you much.

So, which phone are you leaning towards? And why.

[General Questions and Answers] ashish04:
In my opinion, you should go for HTC Vivid...
[General Questions and Answers] slimslim:
For now I like the Skyrocket better, still not decided yet. I've had HTC before and I loved it...

Specs-wize, except the screen resolution, my vote goes to Sammy mainly for:

- faster CPU (1.5 vs 1.2), and, for what i've read are both snapdragons,

- battery (1850 vs 1600)

- 2.0mp front camera,

- NFC,

- super amoled (if you're a fan), unfortunatelly only 800x480, which, by today's standards is quite low (most high-end phones have qHD (960x540), nevermind the idevice or the nexus galaxy)

- touchwiz (maybe?)

On the other hand, HTC:

- good history of building quality,

- qHD screen

- the camera is stated to have an aperture f2.2 28mm wide-angle lens for low light photos (definitelly have to try it to see), and 60fps recording

- don't think the $50 difference really matters, but its a '+'

- HTC sense

Now: some I also want to see some other 'minor' details, like the HSDPA chipset (I know they both normally have LTE, but if they both have 21.1 or the older 14.4 mbps), don't think ATT will have LTE widespread soon. Also form-factor, weight, size, design, this things I will only see inside att's store :)

Still not decided yet though :(

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
Hello,

Title says it all...

I would notice overnight that my battery would be completely horizontal (no drop) and thought it was the combination of SETCPU and JuiceDefender (night profile + screen off drop mhz).

But, after unisntalling them, I noticed the same "flat line" at night and also achieved over 30 hours of battery life.

My question is... do these apps really make a difference on our phones?

Or, are the phones advanced enough to handle everything just fine?

your thoughts are appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iBustCh3rries:
I agree... I got about 27 hours of life out of my battery without set cpu or JD (i've never liked JD anyway because its like putting my kid on riddlin)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
Which version of JD are you using? If you have the Plus or Ultimate version, you can probably still gain some benefit, but you need to learn how to custom configure the settings so that you use the ones that are still relevant. For example:

Where Not Helpful: JD will turn off your GPS if an application isn't using it, but most of today's phones will do that anyway.

Where Helpful:: In advanced settings, you can provide a 'night schedule', wherein during this time, JD will disable mobile data, and thus polling, so your phone will not go out and check for mail, FB messages, Tweets, etc. Otherwise, mobile data is off unless you 'wake' the screen for some reason. Or another feature that 'trains' your wi-fi to only activate when you are at home or a 'recognized' wi-fi spot. These are a couple examples, there are others.

Where it MAY be Helpful: JD can disable mobile data for a custom # of minutes (10/15/30/60) and prevent background sync during those periods. It will awake, allow the sync, then turn mobile data off. Now some apps may only sync in these intervals anyway, but unless they're all syncing at the same time, you could have lots of 'up' time. Some of this may not 'wake' your phone from Deep Sleep, but depending on how sloppy the code is, it might.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] majorkillin:
I think really depends on the ROM you are running. ViperROM has a script that changes the CPU speed and governer on the fly. So no need for SetCPU there. I'd say Juice Defender can still come in handy with turning data off when you aren't using it.

My 2 cents. Your results may vary.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
I use ultimate. I did run a night schedule, but that kind of points back to my original observation... I'd have night setup from 11pm - 7am and see a horizontal line for battery during this time (wow JD is really working)... BUT, with it uninstalled, during the same period of time 11pm - 7am my battery was also horizontal line... So did it really do anything? I'm on wifi at my house so when I'm sleeping the phone is wifi and not constantly pinging the mobile network (does that make a diff. being on wifi)?

I also did like the wifi only when home setting.

With ViperRom, I probably don't need set CPU anymore... Maybe i'll throw JD back on.

One question.. were you running the beta JD? I noticed the beta would always throw errors in the log stating i needed to uninstall, reboot, reinstall (I never did) anyone else have that happen?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pandamaja:
These numbers sound like you have the radio off and don't turn your display on. Pretty amazing numbers otherwise. Would love to know the rom + kernal you're using

edit: I see the post above you mention viperrom. Typically if you have data turned off and display off any device will last days. My OG evo lasts for around 48 hours just sitting there. Still really impressive if you're using your phone within that 30 hours
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
I've never tried the beta; I started with standard, upgraded to Premium, then eventually upgraded to Ultimate (I use the 'Customize' setting, but rarely the 'Advanced' config).

I hear ya on the night-time wi-fi thing. But with this particular phone (and before I rooted and changed ROM/Kernel), on some nights I would be connected to wi-fi and get ZERO CPU sleep time, other nights it would sleep - I have no idea why. It is conceivable that if the only polling your doing is e.g., Gmail, that either it doesn't happen at night, or it happens in such a way as to not knock the phone out of sleep (it IS Google's OS after all).

On a related note, I'm using K-9 mail (my primary mail is Yahoo); it throws wake-locks all the time (set to poll every 15 minutes), but they don't seem to impact battery life or take the device out of deep sleep which is why I suggested that case above.

One other item I like about JD is the ability to permission each and every app for wireless/network access; obviously mail, calendar, phone, etc. need it, but some apps simply don't, and I've been surprised when I set it to 'notify' and some random game pops up seeking network access. Looking for an update? who knows, but I lock 'em down anyway.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
I do not turn off data/radio (no airplane mode).

I'm running ViperRom 2.2 with the latest loskernal experimental.

My display was on for roughly 2 hours (again, just used it as i happened to during the course of the day) and data was on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
Interesting thing is with the latest JD build it has the bluetooth settings, so i can leave my headset paired, but the phone disconnects while not on a call and then when i get a call, it turns on... kinda cool.

In regards to the permissions... do i need to give the email applications permission for enable/screen off? (so that I'll still get the notifs?) or just enable (as in when screen on).

thanks,

RR

[Android Software Development] primetechv2:
If you have a slough of apk files with weird names like I do, this DOS tool is for you. It uses AAPT (included) to check an APK file's name and version, and renames your APK in a more human-readable format.

Example:

pp170.apk --> PhotoShake Pro_1.7.0.apk

Installation

Just unzip the file (RenameAPK.zip) to anywhere you like. All the required files are included.

Instructions: GUI

I made RenameApkGUI in an attempt to create a nice tool that can be pinned to the start bar. (Right click on it, choose Pin To Taskbar.) Just like regular RenameAPK, you can drag multiple files to it. You can also open it and drag multiple files into it (this makes for an easier listing of the files you want to convert).

There are a couple caveats to it, however:

When pinned to the Taskbar, you can only drag one file at a time onto its icon.

When pinned to the Taskbar, and you wish to drag a file onto its icon, you must hold the Shift key.

Really, you might as well just open RenameAPK from the Start bar instead of trying to drag/drop to it.

Instructions: Command-line Tool

You can run this tool through the command line, or by dragging one (or multiple!) .apk files to it.

To rename multiple files (just in case :p)

Select the FIRST file you want renamed (e.g. clicking on it)

Hold down the shift key

Use the mouse or arrow keys to define the END of your selection

Drag one of the selected files to renameapk-min.

To rename multiple files (just in case :p)

Select the FIRST file you want renamed (e.g. clicking on it)

Hold down the shift key

Use the mouse or arrow keys to define the END of your selection

Drag one of the selected files to renameapk-min.

Instructions: Developers

If you want to borrow/change the code, feel free to do so. But also please remember to

Give credit to this me/this project (it's free, you don't even need to give me cookies)

Let me know what you did (it's cool to know)

Updates

RenameAPK v2: Added a GUI wrapper. Keep it in the same folder as the batch files and utilities, and everything should be all right.

Moved the excessive sourcecode files to a source folder.
[Android Software Development] mingolianbeef:
Just wondering, does this change the name of the app itself, or is this the same as right clicking and renaming on the computer?
[Android Software Development] Nooter:

[Android Software Development] trailblazer101:
Good Job with this primetechv2, this works very nicely :) I needed something like this xD

I would like to know though, I modified your script all the slightest So that your outputted apk name would not have any spaces...

For Example, instead of "Root Explorer_1.7.apk" I have it say "Root_Explorer_1.7.apk"...

I don't know, I think it makes it look nicer xD

Would you like me to upload this change, and you can put it on the OP? :) Since I think some people would appreciate this :)

best app ever!! i have been looking for such an app for ages and using it was quite easy and fast as well!! could be improved by making a more graphically designed one having more features like:

searching the sd for apks

creating a list of them

ability to sellect all/some etc

move them all into one folder

you know stuff like this to make our life easier :D

im just suggesting..credits to the dev of this!! thanks a lot man!

[Android Software Development] Guachomelaco:
Excellent tool, thanks for sharing
[Android Software Development] primetechv2:
I could do a few of those things, but they'd be a little inconvenient... ex. I could run a search for .apk files, but it would either have to be (a) in the current folder/subfolders, or (b) you'd have to type in the directory.

Not an easy task, unless I created an extra "scan_for_apks" batch file you could drop a folder into :D Theoretically, at least, it could either start the task or generate a NEW batch file to run.... which you could remove the ones you don't want renamed, etc :p Pretty complicated stuff though.

My kudos on the last guy who did this too, I would mention it in the topic description except it seems a little redundant. I just got lucky with the press here, it seems.

I changed your code a bit, it functions the same way (thanks for pointing out the obvious for me tho!)

from

REM Adding in Underscores Instead of Spaces.
FOR /f "tokens=*" %%a IN ("!apkname!") DO (
set File=%%a
set File=!File: =_!
set apkname=!File!
)

to

REM Adding in Underscores Instead of Spaces.
set apkname=!apkname: =_!

I'll add a minified version soon.
[Android Software Development] vasumit:

This utility works like a charm. Many thanks primetechv2 for your work.
[Android Software Development] D200P13:

[Android Software Development] mcmb03:
I'll ask around and let you know!
[Android Software Development] primetechv2:
Absolutely nothing -- except I took out all the comments, blank lines, empty spaces, and other junk. It might make the whole app a millisecond faster... most of the lag depends on how fast aapt goes ;)

So umm... basically

If you're a user, just drag apps to the -min version.

If you're a developer, edit the regular version to yer heart's content, and post your changes here (at least) and give credit where credit is due.

Thank you for the input regarding RenameAPK. It's nice to know people are still downloading this!

I'm looking into some bat-to-exe converters now; in the mean time can you pin a shortcut with "cmd /c RenameApk.bat" in the location to your taskbar instead? I'll try to get better instructions up soon, if I can. And of course I'll test it :)

Also, can you send me any modifications you've made for Chinese, if any? Otherwise I can test with a different locale on my computer, it just wasn't a consideration at the time. I kinda assumed .bat's would just work cross-platform, and cross-language, from Windows XP on up.
[Android Software Development] kjames2001:
Thanks for replying! I'm keeping a shortcut on my desktop right now. Works just fine.

I never bothered to make modifications because I only had few Chinese apks. But I'll look into it, and will let you know if I could make any. Can't read most of your script to be honest!

Thanks again for this great app!
[Android Software Development] primetechv2:
For now, you can keep the script in the Start bar by creating a shortcut to the command prompt in your taskbar... then

>Right click on the command prompt shortcut

>Right-click on the "Command Prompt" that comes up in the large popup menu

>Click Properties

>In the Program to run textbox, after it says cmd.exe, add "/k C:\PathToRenameAPK\renameapk-min.bat" to the end. So the end result should look something like...

cmd.exe /k "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\RenameApk\renameapk-min.bat"

This is subject to change, and me making a GUI wrapper (maybe). The worst that can happen is that

1) You can't have another shortcut to the command prompt on your taskbar, and that's a biggie for some people (like me), and

2) It might not work (sads).
[Android Software Development] primetechv2:
Update to v2, thank goodness

Just released a GUI, which is able to be placed on the Taskbar, and you can drag files to it! (But only one file at a time, and only if you hold shift.)

You can also open the GUI, and you can drag files onto it to convert them.
