What are you guys using on the E4GT as far as golf apps go?

Golf Frontier has been working well for me, free edition of course.

I tried maybe 3 others that worked but were difficult to navigate on the fly as well as remaining locked on gps unless you shut the program down.

Golf Frontier lets you go back to your homescreen while NOT keeping the gps locked to save power, then when you bring it back up front it uses gps again. The program can get you through a whole round using it once or twice a hole for a few minutes and drain the battery less than 50-60%. Most programs your battery is done or close to it, better have spare or full charge when u go out...

I want to mention that I am a USGA 2.4 handicap golfer, and before this gps program I had nothing to calculate yardages except a book and/or course markers/tee markers. This thing has taken at least 2 minutes per hole (30+ minutes) off of my rounds, and I play fast as it is...

Let me know what you guys are using....

Should this be in general other than the epic 4g touch forum????

I have the new sky caddie sgx and I used golf logix side by side to see the difference and it was pretty dam close!! Plus I really like the stats feature on golf logix
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jameson JC:
How do you like the skycaddie? I am not a fan of the yearly fee and other stuff... I held off on a golf specific gps purchase when I decided to get a smartphone in october. Saw someone using a smartphone on course and figured I would kill two birds...

What I suggest is look Into a laser rangefinder. Fast and accurate to within 1-3 feet or better. Only thing with those is that the battery gets low and they LOSE accuracy... so will say 120yds but will be 105, dangerous.

Skydroid. Its easy to use and easy to read in the sunlight. Plus, I like being able to map and edit my own courses. I tried a more expensive app and it had a lot of features I would never use and I couldn't read it as well in direct sunlight.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
I LOVE my new skycaddie SGX though it's awesome!!! And I hear ya with the laser rangefinder but the courses have to have something on the flag for the laser to catch don't they? And if your playing a course that doesn't have that then ur sol.

Hi all.

I just installed Bionix 1.3.1 and restored apps+data with Titanium Backup.

so far, a couple of things are not working for me.

The native messaging app won't start. I get an error message saying it has stopped working and then it goes back to the home screen.

Also, when i tried to set the ringtone, and chose Andoid system as the default ringtone directory, my phone force closes.

Is there something I haven't restored properly with Titanium?

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks so much,
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkayyar:
I had the same issue with some of the apps. Just uninstall the apps in question and re-install from the market. You can restore the app data only from Titanium if you need to.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpenZerX:
Hello,

compared to my Galaxy Tab 10.1 i think that the Galaxy Note only shows 16 bit colors.

Is this a display limitation? Or is this done to improve the speed?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qazzi76:
Agreed - I believe it shows 16bit non-dithered hence the banding.

Some apps appear to force 24bit though like the browser...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedspringlex:
16 million colors

samsung's tech specs on the note says it can display 16 million colors. according to what i have read that does mean it is 24 bits.

read this about how the gallery still displays using 16 bits but the browser is displaying 24 bits...... interesting.

Dice Player plays my full hd mkv videos over wireless lan perfect, but only 16 bit colors too which result in bad black colors. This is no High Definition. And mywater.apk live background looks bad too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xaddict:
Doing bits

The Note display is 24bit.

If viewing 16bit images and or using 16 bit apps, you will see banding.

Some stock Android apps such as the Gallery app are 16bit as per pcmag article.

An .mkv of Trueblood I have on sdcard plays perfectly with shades of black displayed well and no banding.

The file is 2Gb for 60 minutes.

Lo res images and video can look like crap on this screen, just as on an HD TV.

This is for Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.1 Only!

Modded ICS EmailGoogle.apk to allow Bypass of Security Policy.

Attached is just the APK and then a zip file which SHOULD be able to be flashed with CWM. The zip has been untested, so please post feedback.

Howto Install.

1.) Use Root Explorer or something like it and naviagte to system/app, mount as r/w and delete Email.apk, Reboot Device

2.) copy the new EmailGoogle.apk to system/app and change permissions to Owner(read,write), Group(read), Others(read).

rebot again. and your done.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zaidaiman:
Got it working.

I delete both EmailGoogle.apk and ExchangeGoogle.apk at /system/app.

Reboot, copy back your modded EmailGoogle.apk and ExchangeGoogle.apk

Thanks a lot dude!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] luapclark:
Does this require a de odexed rom? The stock galaxy nexus has odex files so im not sure if this will work?

Also you mention the exchangegoogle.apk this isnt provided here, do you mean you backed up the stock one and reinstated it along with the moded emailgoogle.apk after a reboot?

Cheers
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zaidaiman:
I would say it requires de-odexed ROM.

I can't install this as normal application, it will return fail.

So I know I need to clear the email off the system (including the ExchangeGoogle).

Backed it up, delete and reboot.

Then I copy both of them back and reboot it. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Thyrus:
guys you dont need to touch ExchangeGoogle at all.

EmailGoogle is all you need.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] irtehun:
No problem. U don't have to delete ExchangeGoogle.apk though.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jasbur17:
Are we sure this requires deodexed rom? I'm willing to root for this, but it's a-little early for me to start flashing. I usually don't do that until I'm bored with stock.

Thanks irtehun!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] irtehun:
Pretty sure it has to be de-odexed, but u could let us know if it works on stock.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jasbur17:
I accepted your challenge. Unfortunately when I launch email it just tells me that unfortunately exchange services has stopped.

Perhaps I'll be flashing sooner than I thought.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] irtehun:
Must have to be de-odexed. Send me a pm and ill give u my email and will try to mod the stock one to work
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jasbur17:
Well, I thought I'd get it over with - so I flashed the Revolution HD rom for my Galaxy Nexus.

I tried both methods, copying and CWM for the modified apk but I still get the exchange error when opening the email app. I copied back the original apk and it launched OK.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I sent you a PM in case...

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] irtehun:
Are u sure that ROM is deodexed?

Also send me the Email.apk from that ROM. I'll mod that particular one and let u try it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zaidaiman:
Which is why I deleted/backup EmailGoogle.apk and ExchangeGoogle.apk, reboot and copy paste back the modded EmailGoogle.apk and ExchangeGoogle.apk.

Else, I'll just get exchange services has stopped.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] irtehun:
Well thanks hope that helps him out. I have no power at my house(damn snow storm) so I can't help him by Modding his version
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jasbur17:
zaidaiman, can I ask what rom you're using?

I swear I did it right, but it's still a no go for me.

I copied the 2 APKs EmailGoogle and ExchangeGoogle to sdcard for backup.

I deleted the 2 files from system/app

rebooted

copied the modded EmailGoogle and then the ExchangeGoogle APKs back to system/app

changed file permissions to read/write, read, read.

rebooted.

Immediately on bootup I get the exchange error. I tried to go through email setup and got the exchange error several more times then it closed the email app.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zaidaiman:
I'm using kwiboo's ICS AOSP ROM with franco.kernel ICS on Nexus S.

How about you try to set it up, just ignore the bloody exchange service has stopped, reboot and uninstall it through titanium.

I think the issue is the some sort of "registry". Need to clear this one for sure.

I use Exchange mail for work and I'm curious: why would you actually need this? Is this only for people who have specific security policies that prevent the stock Email app from connecting to the server?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] irtehun:
No it bypasses the password lock so u don't have to enter password every time u unlock
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Thyrus:
PS: not sure if it is the apk you modded's fault or the exhange - but after a couple of reboots or 24hours, the email stops responding - and I get a "cannot connect due to security" message.

Need to re-enable pin lock, then re-synch, then change the unlock method again.

Thanks a lot Caspa, but I think that wont work in my case, since it sais its only for 4.0.1 and also what I think i have to hack is the exchange.apk file, plus i don't have an emailgoogle.apk (I do have a gmail.apk !!! (I also have the email.apk but i think that its only used for any other email accounts.)

Can somebody crack exchange.apk?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CaspaTheGhost:
Naa mate, that patch will work fine. I've used it on 4.0.2/3/4 and had no issues. Its either the email.apk or emailgoogle.apk that needs the policy amended, the patch will do whichever your ROM contains.

Still having trouble

I have tried the various apks and have tried patching the apk that is with the AOKP rom and still receive the NULL error that I've seen others have. The exact error message is "The server requires security features that your Android device doesn't support, including: null,null".

When I pulled the provisions from Moxier Mail - here is what it is saying is getting provisioned:

DevicePasswordEnabled

AllowSimpleDevicePassword

MinDevicePasswordLength : 4

MaxInactivityTimeDeviceLock : 300 secs.

DevicePasswordExpiration: 90 days.

MaxDevicePasswordFailedAttempts : 8

Someone in an earlier thread mentioned that they think the issue is getting caused by the Mobile Device ID not saying "Android" and saying something like "androidc101...."

Hey guys, thanks I have now got this working on a Rooted Stock ICS 4.0.4 Nexus S .

I am not quite sure how ha, but I did something along these lines. First tried OP's APK and then zip and kept getting the exchange errors.

I then used page 5's APK which everyones is mentioning. I backed up mine moved the new apk over and when I tried t install it said the install failed. However after a few reboots and numerous attemps, it kept saying install failed. But then email appeared in the launcher!

Then when the permissions window popped up asking for admin etc I cancelled and a notice appeared in at the top.

I then restarted and it worked!

Thanks so much, its been annoying me for ages!

Just thought I would mention as noone else had mentioned 4.0.4!

EDIT: Dont know if it made a difference or not but I also changed the owner permissions to Read Write and Execute after moving the new APK

Doesnt hurt to try, if it works, cant take credit, downloaded these 2 apk's from somewhere in this thread.

Backup existing email and exchange apks from system/app then delete them and reboot

copy new email and exchange apks into system/app and change permissions for both owner (read/write) and others to read only then reboot

then begin to setup your email and when complete and it asks you for security, select yes, choose your relevant options but when asked to select activate, reboot again.

Then load email again and this time hopefully you wont be asked for a pswd etc and it will start to sync.

Hope it works for you, let us know if it does. Works on ICS 4.0.3 as well

su (enter)
mount -o rw,remount /system (enter)
cd /system/app (enter)
cp Email.apk /sdcard/download/Email.apk.bak (enter)
cp Exchange.apk /sdcard/download/Exchange.apk.bak (enter)
