Alright, I don't know why this is happening now but it is draining my phone's battery a little and it makes me mad since I have such good battery life with this ROM. Anyways, let me just explain what is happening.

So I downloaded the Android Revolution HD ROM a little while ago (version 2.1.2) and I have been running it on my phone for a little over a month or so without any issues and with much better battery life and a much more responsive OS. I really loved the OS! :)

Anyways, mike released the 2.1.4 version and I decided to upgrade to it last week since I skipped over 2.1.3. I wasn't sure if Android 4.0.3 was going to be released soon and I wanted to upgrade when that came out. I used Super Wipe Lite to install it even thought I didn't need to.

Now for some reason I open up my recent apps list on the phone after it has been asleep for a little bit and the Maps app is there. I don't know why since I don't use it unless I use the GPS and I have not used that in a little while. It seems to happen after I get a text usually, but I have not paid super close attention to it until now.

Does anyone know why Maps is spontaneously opening or what I can do to force it to not open unless I want it to (for GPS etc.)?

same problem here...seems to be happening to others as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vangelis13:
Freeze it with titanium backup when not using it? Not a cure but temporary solution at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hfcobra:
Is it ROM related? I am not sure who to mention this problem too lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Its Maps related. The last two versions have had this bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hfcobra:
Ok thanks. I guess we all just have to wait until Google fixes it then. :/

The application I want to talk about is PicSpeed Wallpapers.

(https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zcnNkZXYud2FsbHBhcGVycyJd)

A promising application which offers pretty good wallpapers, in my opinion. However it is more than a simple wallpaper application... Not special in a sense where it gives you super exam cheating skills (which I so desperately need right now)... but it gives you MUCH better cropping for your wallpapers in the Gallery app :).

So how do you use it and how much better is it? Well to use it start by getting a Wallpaper (one with irregular dimensions. The NS handles 480 x 800, so you use an iPhone Wallpaper that is 320 x 480 for examples sake). So once you got that on your phone go ahead and open up the Gallery. Find and tap on the image. Now hit the menu button and select "Set picture as" (on ICS) or whatever you need to click to set a wallpaper. You will notice a pop-up comes up. The normal options would be contact photo and wallpaper (and maybe whatever else you have), but now we are introduced with the option of "Set as Wallpaper" - with the PicSpeed icon beside it. So tap it (of coarse). Underneath the image will be three images. The first (left) crops the image to use just the middle (based on dimensions) and is not a scrollable Wallpaper. The second (middle) gives you the traditional full-use of the wallpaper in a scrollable state. The one that is most interesting is the last (right) option. This one offers a custom crop. Which means you can make the wallpaper scrollable or not and perfectly set the crop to whatever you want. So once you use the right custom option go ahead and hit the set option underneath it to the far right.

I think that is amazing finally a way to break the terrible cropping options the Gallery gave us. At first when PicSpeed released an earlier version the wallpaper would auto resize and mess up the image. They have updated the app since then and I no longer have to re-set the wallpaper on boot. Another bug I noticed is I cannot set a Wallpaper 'properly' with the traditional set wallpaper function my phone offers me, after I use PicSpeed to set a "custom" crop. This is easily fixable. Go into Gallery and the set the wallpaper with PicSpeed (again) with the Wallpaper with the traditional (middle) option. Or you can just reboot your phone, either way works.

Well yeah I just wanted to share this new amazing application with you all :). You're welcome all! No more terrible cropping options :D YAAAAY!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mamba720027:
Works great and have some nice wallpapers and see what you mean about cropping the images,kewl feature.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] gioyocho1:
Yeah it is cool not need crop. press menu picture > set as picture (pispeed picture) Set as wallpaper > go 3rd (custom mode) > set
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ndrone1:
Wow. I have been dealing with crappy crops a long time, until now! Thanks for helping me figure out the way to use Picspeed and have the image as I intended! :good:

---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

Thanks for the help! Sincerely didn't ever notice the custom option or at least didn't think it would fix anything. Great to finally have correctly cropped, crystal clear images!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zute333:
perfect

exactly what i was looking for, tried wallpaper wizardrii and quickpic but this is the simplest, fastest and best at cropping, great for having full image wallpaper
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] 309041291a:
Glad it helped you :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] explorer-10:
sorry to bumb a 5-month old thread, but since it IS wallpaper-related, how would i come across a single paged wallpaper if the original dimensions were 720x1280 and i want it to fit the screen fully? before using Nova's wp picker setting, i've already tried setting it to a dimension of 480x800 and hoping it'd fit the screen fully and there was a small black bar near the bottom

i'm attempting to mimic this look

Hey Guys as you know we can Rip and convert our own PSX Isos,

But im still Confused after seeing LOCO ROCO on the PSX market :confused:

So I got in contact with Yinfan Lu and disscused but he won't be convinced without the communitys support so Please reply and don't spam him with messages but go to his site and email him, via CONTACT ME.

This will enable you to email him......Duhh....

Send him You won't him to create a PSP Converter for Xperia Play.

And say Why and what benifits he will get out of it.

And if this gets Piracy Envolved then He won't do it and Pirates are G** F*C****

Fags.

also to create attention to this Please post if you have send an email and what you said, if you intend to pirate you can get a $1000+ fine so I wouldn't if i was you.

I DO NOT INTEND FOR THIS TO BECOME A HASTLE JUST SAYING SOMETHING THAT COULD MAKE HIM COME BACK THE XPERIA PLAY COMMUNITY :) DONT SPAM ITS ANNOYING AND STUPID!:D
[Xperia Play General] DeanBoro:
Im pretty sure that game does not acttually include a emulator but instead it is a ported version.
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
Loco rocco is not being emulated, there will never be a PSP emulator for the xperia play. You could be the most awesome programmer in the world but the xperia plays hardware is simply not powerful enough to emulate PSP games.
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
That. It ain't happening, dude.
[Xperia Play General] CZroe:
Didn't you think to stop and ask if it's even possible before solilciting people to spam someone for no good reason?!
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
This.

Even if it was possible (which it isnt) you cant just force the dude to do it. He does it for free in his own time, he is not obliged to do anything for anybody.
[Xperia Play General] n0_face:
True. This was confirmed to have been a ported version of the video game via Sony FAQ.

I think most of the people that have responded to this thread are pretty much dead on in terms of the reality behind it all. I think a good example is to take a look at the DS emulator that's out and compare it's (Nintendo DS) specs with the PSP. While the DS is available it's virtually unplayable and serves as somewhat of a reality check that it's just not possible.

I think people like Yinfan and others have been a very important contribution to our community so we shouldn't burden them with our personal desires (unless they openly ask for suggestions).

This you? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22000061&postcount=343

I thought by making those smartass comments, you would get that I'm saying the idea is absurd, but I don't think you understood, so let me put this seriously:

1) Is it POSSIBLE to run psp/ps2 on the play? Certainly. In theory, any computer can run code that emulates another computer. Now the chances that someone/group will take the time to spend the months/years doing so is next to null. Unless you are willing to pay them hourly wages, you're not going to convince anyone to do this.

2) A rule of thumb is that a platform has to be 10x more powerful than what it's emulating. I can't say for sure, but I think the play is just bearly that much, not to mention that android is already system intensive. The best bet would be to write an alternative OS (no android/linux) that only emulates psp/ps2. To use most of the power of the play (and that might not even be enough), you need low level access and nothing else interfering (android for example). So on top of reversing a console, you also have to reverse a play.

In summary, you need someone/group with skill, time, and resources. Your best bet is to hire Sony engineers. Can you pay them more than what Sony pays them? And I'm talking hourly wages.

And to everyone else. Please don't email me about the play. As I've said, I no longer own the phone, so there's nothing I can do.
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
By impossible I kind of meant that it will never happen or even if somebody did port something like pcsx2 it would run super super slow.

To write an entire PS2 emulator from scratch in assembly would take so long that by the time it is done nobody will care about the play anymore. The best thing to do is just wait for advances in hardware.

Heck just look at how long pcsx2 has been in development and it still struggles to play a lot of games even on high end PC's
[Xperia Play General] CZroe:
Nah. That's clearly someone else who also capitalizes words completely randomly and uses "won't" when he means "want." ;)

Anyway, in response to the part I bolded, that's exactly what I saidhere when I wrote "Keep dreaming. Sony made the PSP dev kits to allow quick porting to PS2, PS3, and other platforms. PSP minis all compile to run on both PSP and PS3. So, it's either out-right native ports or a code translation engine with wrappers for natively unsupported functions and system calls ala cXbx. Either way, it will take a commercial level of effort and understanding to make each title function and this will be required per title."

Even that was assuming that there was some kind of native support for PSP code. Expecting an emulator to do it is just :eek:

The reasons the Sony-made PSone emulator runs better than the others are three-fold: 1) It was written and optimized for ARM, unlike the ported PC emulators usually written in high-level portable C++, 2) it was written with a more intimate understanding of the original hardware by those who built it, and 3) it has a commercially-supported level of effort (many people making their living by working on it daily with untold amounts of man-hours dedicated to it). Emu-kiddies just don't get it.

It's kinda like the difference between animating Toy Story on early '90s computers using crude wireframes (even those were slow) vs. the final output on film. The server farms would crank away for hours with several days' worth of computing power per frame generated to make the final result of 23.9 FPS. Expecting the same computers to render that level of detail at 23.9FPS *in real time* when they couldn't even render a wireframe in real time at that speed is as ridiculous as expecting an Xperia PLAY to run a PSP emulator at full speed just because it's possible to port it and run it. It's just not going to happen. It's possible, but it wouldn't be close to "real time," and real-time is kinda the point with emulation (kinda hard to fix with frame skip if each frame is going to take minutes/hours/days. ;)).

iphones have a lot to answer for,i had this discussion with someone the other day though who has iphone 4..

the end of the arguement was

iphones for people who want an easy phone,everythings ready to go out of the box..easy to use and dont really need to do much(so sheep if we are getting down to it)

android is for geeks.Android phones are pretty simple as well but then taken up a level to development of the o/s

ios isnt open source,bit like a heavily guarded fortress..just in case someone actually does something to it..that makes people want to stop buying every version they release whilst the actualy operating system hardly changes... lol

xda is a pure reflection of...a geek loving site.
[Desire HD General] xbiggyl:
Don't forget that the iPhone is also for games..

But imo the smart thing to do is to get yourself an iPad gaming purposes, and pack an Android for everything else :P

Well I'm a geek and a tech junkie, and no other mobile OS has been able to deliver the flexibility nor the customization like Android..

What I'll be looking for when i decide to replace my dhd are the following:

-Improved battery life

-Quad core

-SAMOLED at least 4"

-Min. 16GB internal memory with memory card slot

-Physical qwerty keyboard (i just prefer a slide-out keyboard)

-Front-facing cam

I know I'm being too demanding--and maybe too optimistic--but imo the specs above can easily be packed into the next HTC..

What do you think?
[Desire HD General] SAPPH1RE:
Well, i still couldn't decide what's for after DHD.. Damn, this phone is already 2 years old and still lots of thing happenning for this phone. Thinking about keeping it for another 1-2 years.

Well, i love galaxy note, but at the same time, i hate the plastic feels. i love iphone4, but the OS sux..

Maybe a 5" screen with aluminium unibody design that's all it takes. Single core or multi core, i don't care, as long as it's snappy.

Still loving my DHD though. :p
[Desire HD General] arknailed7754:
The Dhd isn't old at all..I wouldn't even class the desire old be honest...only classed ad old because New phones released all the time so its phone life in commercial not actual phone life!

Hi,

I have loaded OsiMood onto my phone...

Now, when I try and go to Titanium Backup to restore thigns such as

Buddies Now

Calculator

Clock

Digital Clock

Home screen tips

And click restore it takes forever. Is this the ROM preventing me?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bobbylx:
Just curious, did you allow root when you first launched Titanium Backup? You might try removing it and installing again.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gabby131:
Force Close titanium Backup (tap and hold home touch key, task manager, active tab, Exit TB), then restart back up. This may NOT work, for TB only preserves "Data" of those system apps (not apk).

Word of caution: You are restoring "system apps" which is quite delicate...I suggest not restoring any system apps, i know it would be a pain for others, like me, who uses some bloat apps...but just to be safe. Talking from experience and from strong warnings upon flashing different ROMs.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bobbylx:
YES, didn't even notice that. I usually say never restore System apps or system data with Tibu. It's great for 3rd party apps and data, but more often times it will end up giving you many FC's and leaving you with a generally unstable phone.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] deltafire006:
hello i have been using this rom,

freeze a app you would like then wait about 10 sec push the home key then restart the phone even tho TB doesnt stop deleting the app it has actually done it i think its a bug in this rom, when the phone powers on you will notice the app is gone, same steps for restoring if the app is big id wait longer before restarting.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Aquethys:
Then how do you install system apps?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gabby131:
requires some work...you can unpack those system apps from the stock rom and push it to /system/app....

not guaranteed to work, you might end up reflashing....do it on your risk....
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Aquethys:
Is osimood applied over the rogers rom or replace?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bobbylx:
It should replace the existing ROM, sort of. When going from a stock ROM to custom I always do a wipe data/factory reset in CWM. Then when you flash the new ROM, it's basically replacing the stock ROM. I said sort of, because sometime if you don't wipe the data, when you flash the new ROM some of your old data may still be lingering around. Most of the time you will know this because it force closes (FC's) like crazy, kind of like restoring system data with Titanium Backup (tibu).

Once you are on a custom ROM, you can usually flash any new versions without wiping data, and in return all your settings/apps/data is still there after the flash. I usually do this unless the Dev says to do a wipe in the instructions.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Aquethys:
Lots of questions..

Do I restore cwm or tibu? Are they the same?

When I wipe can I also do it from settings?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bobbylx:
CWM or Clockwork Mod is a recovery platform that is loaded before the Android OS comes up if you press the correct keys. It's used to flash custom ROMS, do a full system backup, wiping and recovery, and some other fun things.

Tibu is designed to backup and restore almost anything in the Android OS itself, ie, apps, settings, and also other fun things like freezing, uninstalling, etc. I say "designed to" because I've never seen Tibu successfully restore system data or apps. The only things I use Tibu for are backing up and restoring of User apps and data, this is helpful when flashing. From a clean install I can usually be back to normal in about 10 minutes using Tibu and then manually entering my google account info, wireless info, ringtones, etc.

You have the ability to wipe from the settings menu, but when flashing new roms it's better to do it from CWM as this wipes your data and cache. Some Devs recommend to wipe the Dalvik Cache also, which can only be done in CWM.

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daisukiniwa:
I am unsure where to proceed to finding either a solution or fix to this issue.

I work for a wireless company that deploys a rural mobile network. Recently during testing calls placed to my phone after changing my FW and Kernal my calls have been failing due to codec negotiation failure (codec negotiation is currently not supported in the rural network)

After looking at the pcap in wireshark I discovered that the phone is initiating calls at full rate, and calls failed when receiving calls using the AMR codec. Is there a setting of feature that i may have mis-set to not allow my phone to use the AMR codec?

This issue does not occur in urban mobile networks due to the support of codec negotiation.

While in the rural network i have the phone set to GSM only while in urban i have it set to GSM/WCDMA auto mode. The phone is required to be set to GSM only due to a bug found in RAN network that causes the calls to drop.

If anyone can help please give me as much information as possible. Is codec priority list dictated in the phone.apk? or is it associated within the firmware? kernal?

thank you

After more troubleshooting, I have discovered that XXKI4 does work with a network that does not support codec negotiation and prioritizes AMR.

I have tried just using the KI4 modem, this does not seem to resolve the problem.

Does any know why after sometime after XXKI4 there was a change in codec priority built in to the phone that ignores network codec priority?

The engineers here suspect that samsung wrote in somewhere to start at full rate and re-negotiate the codec up to amr. but this is just a guess and we would like to get some more concrete information.

Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daisukiniwa:
I can provide a pcap to show how the call is initiated requesting the AMR codec as first priority, and also a call made from the SGS2 initiating calls at Full rate v1 not AMR.
