Love to see more tools like mne

Nice to see gizmostack is not the only tool that does this, I never added the sdcard part like you have as I just did not see the need for it but its really nice to see other software out there, please update this post if you make another one you can follow mine at www.gizmostack.co.uk Gizmostack does not neet .net so will work with xp off the bat without installing it but I don't see this really as something great its just a different way of doing it.

I am a .net developer, so makes sense for me to build .net based tools. I wrote this because I didnt feel like fiddling with the registery, figured sharing it could help someone else. I checked out your tool, nice work. I am more interested in android development at the moment, cloning the MIUI mms app is something I am currently looking into. Have had loads of fun messing around with the layouts, maybe soon I release it.

Windows 8

I just downloaded Windows 8, but the app crashes on startup. I don't know what the issue is. Is it possible if you could update the app to support Windows 8?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] .oOOo.:
I tried it in Windows 8 and it seems .net applications can't access the registry any more without "contacting your administrator".

I've tried adjusting the resolution by increasing the Width and Height settings in the registry manually, but then my touch input is off by the same amount of pixels. Is there any other trick I'm missing here?

--- Edit ---

I've discovered that you need to restart BlueStacks a couple of times before the new resolution "sticks". The first time only the window itself will change size. The launcher will still have the original size and will be in the bottom left corner. Clickable areas will be off by some pixels.

After the next reboot, the laucher will be the correct size, but the wallpaper will not stretch all the way. I've resolved this by rebooting a couple of times and using different wallpaper apps to set the new wallpaper. I'm not really sure which action resolved the problem.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dragon_76:
Is there some secret to finding your app because I looked all over that site and failed to find it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cornelha:
I don't have a copy of Windows 8, although Windows 8 supports .net out the box, it should work. If you can screenshot the error I can take a look.

I havent really tested it with the latest versions of BlueStacks at all, you could try run as Administrator to get registry access
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] toy187:
Try launching the app by right-click/run as administrator. Should fix your issue with having to contact the administrator. Of course... you do havve to be logged on using and admin account for that to work I think.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fern420:
I'll second this......I tried using the "force".....still no luck at discovering your hidden download link..............I wanted to try this without using .net but even google can not find a download link for a recent version of gizmod, all it finds is an old 2011 version and the website doesn't seem to have a download section.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] peteshaw:
D/L'd and installed the latest version of BlueStacks, and your app appears to change the registry setting for sdc1:

So once I ran your app, I could not set this back to SDCard.Sparsefs, as this is a directory. Then my install was messed up. I am a newbie to android, so this was confusing. Luckily, the log is pretty verbose and I figured it out.

I went into regedit and changed it, all is well. You might want to add a checkbox to enable/disable the sdcard change. Note: These settings are all in the registry (at least for me) here:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\BlockDevice\0]

"Name"="sda1"

"Path"="C:\\ProgramData\\BlueStacks\\Android\\Root.fs"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\BlockDevice\1]

"Name"="sdb1"

"Path"="C:\\ProgramData\\BlueStacks\\Android\\Data.sparsefs"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\BlockDevice\2]

"Name"="sdc1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\BlockDevice\3]

"Name"="sdd1"

"Path"="C:\\ProgramData\\BlueStacks\\Android\\Prebundled.fs"

Thanks!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nodixe:
I was wondering what the "ComponentFactory.Krypton.Toolkit dll" is for? Should I extract to the bluestacks folder? Thanks for any help.....

Also I have an old installer for gizmostack ver.50 in zip format. Never could find update for it and I'm not sure there is one but if you want it pm me...

Edit: figured out how to use attachments so no need to pm
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cornelha:
The dll is for the UI toolkit used in the application. I haven't had a look at bluestacks in ages, I might have some time soon to look at the changes and update the app accordingly.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KaellanSWE:
resolution

what resolution is best suited to use for the game blood brothers?

my app is sideways :P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MeetFace:
Will this change the apparent resolution within the fixed window size of the bluestacks app? Or if you make the resolutions smaller, with it shrink the actual windowsize?

I'm on a 1080p monitor and would like the actual windowsize to be about half of what it is now.

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rexzooly:
I stopped gizmostack as all the functions that was in it now was in now placed in the standard bluestack app, I am not sure what use this software would offer anyone right now, I could make a final release or move it to Version 1.0.0.0 but I would have to create the software again.

I didn't know so many people liked this app I also found it on a few software reviewal sites I am shocked :o

I will start a new topic if I can find a reason to bring it back :good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] _/=-)+(-=\_:
It works on Windows 8, just run it as administrator and click 'Continue' on every error.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] seeeejaaaay:
What files are being changed with this application?

Can someone write an AHK script that just flip-flops the height and width? So, if I set the resolution to 100 X 200, if I run this AHK script as administrator, it goes into the DLL files and switches the numbers to 200 x 100. If I run it again, it flips it back. This would be an easy way to make it psudo landscape and portrait since that's no longer an option in the beta release.

For anyone that wants the code, here you go

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

Ok, after using my script a little bit, it becomes clear that it bugs out a lot. Obviously StacksTweak is changing more than just Height and Width. I'd love to know what the other values are so I can improve my script

I got It! Dont just use the red "X" button to close Bluestacks

Instead, use the "Restart" option

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rchrdcrg:
I'm guessing this utility either doesn't work any more or I screwed something up, because now BlueStacks won't even start up. Why they don't include a resolution option right in BS is beyond me... I wanna play my Android games in full 1920x1080... too much to ask?

Hi Cornelha, good on you mate :D I still use this application.

Can you perhaps add one thing:

tenet420 from this thread has listed a way to increase or decrease the RAM size in bluestacks, and I was wondering if you can incorporate it into your application.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stimulus_pi:
Hey everyone,

does anyone know an app which is able to execute scripts after a certain amount of time after bootup?

I know tasker has this option with the Wait command, but I guess its not able to execute scripts...i.e. launch gscript scripts like OC, deepidle 5 min after bootup.

Thanks in advance
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcdude486:
Try Script Manager from the market, I'm not 100% sure this will work for you as I only heard of it in passing lately, but take a look!

Is it possible to change the power button function?

I keep pressing it by mistake when I use my phone in both landscape and portrait modes. I've had the phone for ages now and just can't hold the phone comfy without my fingers resting against the power button.

It would be nice if I could set the power button to sleep on long press like the reboot menu, and have the reboot menu on a 10second press.

Would this be possible?

Sent from my Oxygen 2.3.1 powered Nexus S.
[HTC Incredible S] tcardozo:
The icons to text are all mixed up and this is copied in my statusbar pull down as well too. It's tripping me out. Anyone know a fix?
[Desire HD General] techlogik:
Is No Lock, both versions in the market, the only option for when your phone goes into sleep that will allow you to get the screen back on with the up/down volume or power?

Right now, neither work well with my Inspire. The one No Lock won't auto start upon boot, have to set it each time after a reboot. Then, the volume buttons when you hit them it beeps like you are adjusting the volume.

The other No Lock app doesn't even work.

The thing I really miss about my Nexus One, Trackball wake/unlock and LED alerts.

The No Led app doesn't support any mail app but Gmail...sigh. So no other option apparently I have searched and found for regular Sense mail application LED on the screen alerts with different colors etc..

EDIT: Figured out how to do a custom status bar message so it sees a new email from any app, that is good. But, No Led doesn't work if you are using a No Lock screen app. Although, when No Led is enable, the touch buttons at the bottom are active and you don't need to use another button to wake the phone.

So, good/bad. See how it works.

Thanks

same here. i am stock 5.7.893. i know its not a rom think cause i have not flashed any roms or themes and no tweeks. so i think its the update since i didnt have any problems before flashing 5.7.893 update

Having the same issue. Very strange.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] hdtechk:
try fixing permitions its not the update mine works fine

Go to applications and clear the data for the market app. It sounds like you have a permissions problem and hopefully that should fix it.

cleared data and fixed permitions, still no my app in market. i went strait from 5.5.886 to 5.7.893. wonder if that had anything to do with it

"Applications and games owned by this account will appear here"

At least I am not the only one so frustrated with this

For now you can use AppBrain to make sure you don't miss any app updates -- still annoying because you have to accept each one, but the only good way to check until this is sorted out.

i fixed my market isues with my apps not showing up. i did a factory reset and they now show up. i kept root and i am still on 5.7.893 and all is good:) thought i lost rorever root but just redownloaded the su app from the market.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] roadczar:
Were you using a custom ROM? What happens when you do a factory reset on a custom rom...

i was not on any rom just stock 5.7.893. not sure what will happen if you are on a custom rom
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Utah_patriot:
did a factory reset after restore from titanium backup still having problem with no my apps
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dellenrules:
How about just restoring your apps next time.

When you restore your settings and data, you are reloading your problems back in to the device.

If that doesn't work. Just restore one app at a time until you find the culprit.

I've been having a problem with my hardware keyboard for a while. When the keyboard is fully closed the software recognizes it as open.

[EVO Shift 4G General] anthonyf27:
Some Sprint stores will repair it for a fee if you buy the parts yourself (at the same time you can probably do it yourself). You can usually go on ebay and find the parts that you need.

Hey guys,

This has already been found in the orther threads on xda but i thought i would bring this to the SGS2 forums. Video Live Wallpaper is an app in the market that will allow you to set any video with any video format and set it as you live wallpaper. It can Read from your memory card or from internal memory. Very cool app and i have been using it for a few months on different devices and doesnt drain battery as fast as i thought.

Also this is another app called tubemate which will allow you to download any video from youtube straight to your phone. with these apps together i was able to find music videos and have them set as my wallpaper and also have them set to change after each video. pretty cool find and much thanks to the dev who created the apps.

***tubemate is not in the market you will have to seach for it ....google tubemate apk android*****

[Droid 2 General] 318sugarhill:
So today in the car, my wife's D2 shut off, and when she tried to turn it on again, it came up to a black screen that says

Bootloader

D2.37

Battery OK

OK to program

Connect USB

Data Cable

Now, I have done everything under the sun to my Droid Incredible. I love that phone, but it's mine. I have never messed with my wife's D2. I never even rooted it. It has been nothing but a glitchy mess ever since she broke the first one, and got this as an insurance replacement. I honestly don't know much about it. I've never been a fan of Motorola.

I took it in to a VZW store and the guy told me it's broken, and a replacement is being mailed out, but won't get here till Monday. I cancelled the insurance long ago, so I'm guessing it's a warranty coverage?

Anyhow, my question I guess is this thing truly fried, or do I now have a license to mess around with it, since a replacement is coming? And what if anything can I mess around with? I know VZW employees at their stores know very little and when it comes to the technical aspects of the Android OS, they know even less. (I actually argued with an employee a year ago over how worthless Task killers are and he should stop installing them onto peoples phones for them,. before I had to stop and walk away)
[Droid 2 General] stubby210:
Have you tried to flash a stock SBF to it yet?
[Droid 2 General] mdshann:
I know this really isn't on topic, but could you explain why task killers are useless? Not that I don't believe you, I just always though that I was saving battery by not having the CPU work as hard. I also have noticed that my phone always seems to lag until I end whatever program I was just in after going back to the home screen and trying to run something else. I'm on an Eris currently, just got a DROID 2 have not put it on my account yet though.
