I have a Motorola car charger and it will charge it while using GPS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PTzero:
Yes, I can confirm that for me the battery actually charges while I have my phone running Google Maps with GPS on.

It works perfectly fine on my phone.

The best car charger, period. Cheap, long, looks good, charges fast.

I was just playing around with the Samsung Theme Editor, and noticed that it produces QMG files as part of it's output.

Has anyone tried to crack this program to get access to the QMG portion? (is that even possible? ) I was wondering if it could be leveraged to allow QMG creation for animations..

Samsung Theme Editor

I have just bought a Samsung Tab recently and tried to crack the qmg image files.

1st. It appears they are compressed making it more difficult

2nd. Samsung theme editor does appear to create qmg files but no way to extract

3rd. I have created a qmg image with the Samsung Theme Editor and it did not work on my tablet

4th. I checked the header on the qmg file from my tablet and from the theme editor and they appear to be different versions.

In Samsung Theme Designer

how to i set the duration? or how do i get the animation to play in normal speed?

its always to fast!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
If you're still looking for this, set "duration" higher. Duration is the delay, in seconds between frames.

[HTC Desire S] zenpower41:
Hi Guys, it happened to me, market updating freezes my stuff idk why, i just S-offed my phone, and put in custom roms, like Shadow Hawk and Saga3D..im following eMMc tuts, but im not too good with it..what do i do usually, i asked google, and he was pricky, so can anyone tell me what to do in a simple manner? thanks..i love this phone, and i respect all of u that you'd help noobies like me.. :) -zen
[HTC Desire S] gordo79:
Before you panic to much: turn off auto updating in market, boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. See if that sorts it.
[HTC Desire S] zenpower41:
bro, umm i cant even boot into the os anymore, the cache cannot mount and stuff, it says so when i enter recovery..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
its a shame to have the soft keys display while youre playing a game or watching a video. Any way to make them disappear completely and get a true full screen experience?

i was thinking maybe configuring it so that you gently tap the power button to make them go away(come back) & for normal power button use do a long press instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ／人◕‿‿ ◕人＼:
Probably a pointless bump/post from me, but this is something that I'd really like to have too.

Soft buttons sounded cool, but after getting the phone, they seem to be somewhat permanent and not particularly customisable either.

Videos seem to be the only application where they hide, but even then, simply tapping the screen _anywhere_ brings them back up again (even with screen control lock enabled).

I watch videos with subtitles and being a slow reader, tend to pause videos fairly regularly. It's annoying to have the video bounce around when I do so because of the soft buttons popping up.

Really would appreciate if anyone knows of a method to kill these soft buttons!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
Yep I would love this as well, an option to enable this feature.

It would auto hide the soft keys, then a swipe up from the bottom will overlay the keys on top of the existing screen (so the app isn't resizing itself - like HD videos do when the keys come back).

Then we can use the full smexy 4.65" screen and real 720p.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
it is up to the developer of the app to add the full screen code.

Dice Player was the first to add this and when you play videos, it automatically goes fullscreen and then a tap brings the buttons back.

i don't think that any mod or app could do it. You could probably make a mod that forces them to always hide in landscape, but the problem would be that they're always gone, even when you want them there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ／人◕‿‿ ◕人＼:
I presume that an app can only indicate that the buttons should be hidden, and really doesn't have much more control than that?

So basically, unusable in games.

Surely there must be some sort of modification (even if it needs to go back to the kernel (forgive my ignorance if I'm totally off)) to allow us to do it?

I can understand that an app is restricted to the API provided to it, which is why I think an OS level mod needs to be done here.

I get it that this could be less convenient / more confusing, so believe that this shouldn't be in a stock ROM, but if I want to mod my phone this way, I should be able to, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qman66:
i would love a rom that has a setting where i can choose certain apps that can hide the buttons on whatever apps i want. that would be awesome. dont know if its possible. especially on slingplayer. its a $30 app which rarely gets updated. who knows when they will update it. its a good thing i sideloaded it and didnt pay for it. i dont see how it can work on games though because tapping the screen is the way to get the buttons there. unless there is some sort of gesture to bring em back. i do think we will see a lot more out of soft buttons but it will take a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotrock11:
youtube seemingly does this for me....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I too think its a total waste having the buttons never move or disappear. Its a great concept, but google didnt take advantage of it at all. I just find it wasting space. Would love if they could be hidden.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
i don't think so. the code is there to hide them, but in video apps they show back up on simply a touch. The game developers could add code to say that they only come up when you press pause. I don't see why that wouldn't be possible.

on a system level i'm sure it could be done, but as we've both said. it'll be much less convenient and more confusing.

heres an example, what happens if you enable that to play a game full screen, but that game has no exit option. You now have no way out of the game. The only way to get back to your homescreen is to shut off the phone.

so then, another mod would be required, you'd need a link to the home screen from the powermenu.

so your already up to two mods to do something that most people would not want.

The better thing is to just have the keys dim when playing a game like they do in honeycomb, and not just disappear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] karstensson:
i would also like a ability to hide them!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn707:
I think it would be cool if the soft keys had a transparent backround maybe the buttons could fade to dots like I have seen them do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ／人◕‿‿ ◕人＼:
I haven't looked at the API, I'm just going on a hunch from what I've seen how apps react.

For example, if apps had such control over the buttons, why would they still show on touch even if screen control locking is enabled? Just a bug in the application, or perhaps just cannot be done?

Take the example in the first post - erhaps an option to toggle the buttons in the power menu.

One would presume that if you're playing a game, you're not looking to exit it every minute, so it's not like you exactly need a convenient exit button. If the toggle is done through the power menu, then it makes logical sense to go back there if you with to show the buttons again.

Of course, there'll probably be people who forget about where they turned off the buttons, so yes, slightly more confusing to newbies, but if there's a custom mod which allows this type of functionality, it would be really helpful to those who do understand. (after all, if you've gone to the effort to enable such a mod, you're sure to know about it)

I'm not sure about the "two mods" proposition - you can't really have one without the other so I'd think it would be classed as one, but I don't really want to debate about semantics here (neither can I really say anything about low level requirements to perform this mod).

As for most people not wanting it, perhaps, though I think the responses in this thread shows that there are people out there interested in this, and it's not only me. The value proposition is up to someone else to decide though.

Dimming the keys does not enable more screen space, which is the whole point of completely hiding them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prkchop:
i dont have a problem with them, they hide automatically on things like netflix and need for speed shift...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
honestly not sure. could be a bug or how it'd designed. since the galaxy nexus has no other way of letting you control it, most likely it's designed so that theres no way to perminately hide them.

If you added an option in the power menu to show/hide them, then that would make it just one mod. The two mods idea was just one to make them always hide in fullscreen apps, and then another one that would give you a home link in the power menu.

but having a link in the power menu to show/hide the buttons is actually a better idea. assuming it would work. And doing it this way would allow you an easy way to turn them on and off.

This is the closes I can get it to hide, but it's still not full screen on games. Changed the color to black. It blends in with the background, but the highlighted button press is still there. Like hidden buttons.

Using Codename Android 1.0.1 ROM, it has the option to change the color built in, as does AOKP ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qman66:
actually google did take advantage of it. they added it to their own apps like youtube and gallery during video. and on other apps like phone during a call and gallery viewing pictures they hide.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Good evening all!

Question I have is simply when does everyone suspect a single-click Root might come along that doesn't wipe the phone's memory? I've already had to reset my phone once (because of Verizon) and hoping to not have to do it again for awhile (restoring 12k SMS takes awhile). I know many phones in the past have eventually gotten a one-click method that doesn't wipe the phone and wondering how feasible it is that we'll see one here in a short amount of time.

Thanks in advance, all! Keep up the good work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] champers:
Rooting doesn't wipe the device, the problem is that you have to unlock the device first, which will.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Can I ask why? Many devices have had single-click roots that retained locked bootloaders. A reference would be my Atrix 4G. Motorola locked the bootloader fairly hard and I never unlocked mine, but I still managed to root the device using Z4Root, without a whipe. I downloaded the app, opened it, and clicked the "Root" button. I restarted the phone and the phone was rooted with SuperUser and BusyBox installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
Those are usually hacks that take advantage of security flaws found in the OS or other software... the same way that malware authors find holes in Windows and write software to take advantage of it to exploit your computer. The bugs that allow you to root without unlocking are the same kind of bugs that has given Microsoft a bad reputation for security over the years, and naturally Google doesn't want security flaws in Android so they try to minimize them and fix any that are found.

A hole might be found in ICS eventually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
I wasn't really asking about the ethical use of such things...just whether anyone could see it being feasibly possible in the near future. Then again, if anyone knows of a way to restore 12k SMS in 5 minutes I'm open to unlocking/rooting the old-fashioned way.

By the way, even the way unlocking/rooting is accomplished now is considered a "hack". Using ADB to unlock/root the phone isn't the way it's meant to be used. ADB stands for Android Debugging Bridge...it's meant to debug, not crack open the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
Sorry about that, I didn't mean to imply any ethics here. I was just trying to answer the question about why there isn't a one-click root. I may have misinterpreted your "why?" question.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
I don't see that happening any time soon. It's so effortless to unlock the bootloader that why would anyone waste their time trying to find a workaround.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
I wouldn't call re-configuring everything effortless lol I'd rather spend 45 minutes unlocking and rooting than spend 5 minutes doing it and another hour getting it set up...again. Restoring all of your stuff can be a pain if you don't have it empty. It downloads the apps but it doesn't set them up.

Have you tried restoring a massive number of text messages? I had to delete half of mine simply because it took well over an hour and a half to restore the first time and I had to reset the phone anyway. It's extremely time-consuming to have to clear out the phone. I'd say it was a strong 2 1/2 or 3 hours from start to finish yesterday to do it (and yes, there was a reason I couldn't unlock+root at the same time).

[G2 and Desire Z General] Stargazer418:
It's a zip called SuperWipeG2+ext4 (http://min.us/l1SoCh5w7tYLT) that you flash in recovery that will fully erase all the internal partitions of your phone. The only thing it does not erase is the SD card. You should use it when you are switching between ROMs with different frameworks, for example Sense to CM7 or vice versa.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bombadier:
if i could recommend 4ext recovery, the wipe partitions feature is built in, and support is second to none from madmaxx the author.

you can manually do it

just wipe calvik and there is another one but i dont remember.

not quite its dalvik cache, temporary stuff, superwipe does all internal phone partitions including system ones,after a superwipe the phone is like a clean sheet of paper

[G2 and Desire Z General] CCpotter:
This answer is in detail, in a word, it functions like a eraser or back to factory spec, the only difference is they erase your data to a different limits. You have to learn how to deal your phone with it because it's really frequent in use
