So, we all know Apples is filing patent applications like it’s their business. This is what they’ve been using for legal ammo as of late, attempting to block the competition and not giving consumers the final say in what they will or will not buy. Well, the questions has come up quite a few times, “Just where the heck has Google been in all of this?”

While I originally assumed that perhaps the internet search giant just didn’t “play ball” that way, today we’ve learned that ‘ol Googs has made a trip by the patent office, filing for a new patent of their very own. The patent in question is ”Input to Locked Computing Device,” new method for unlocking a device from Google and their way of circumventing Apple’s “slide-to-unlock” patent — something Apple has been using to attack Samsung for allegedly violating.

The diagram shows a method for unlocking that looks similar to HTC’s Sense 3.0 lockscreen where you can drag icons and jump straight to the chosen application, or even executing shortcuts like directly calling a specific contact or shooting them an SMS. Let’s hope we’re looking at Jelly Bean’s new lockscreen, coming soon to an Android device near you.
[LG Revolution] ufkal:
very interesting...this is gonna get ugly I think...Patents and lawsuits and more lawsuits...All over swiping of a finger......
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Here's the thing I'll never understand about Google losing the patent war over the lockscreen.

Apples "slide to unlock" screen only slides in 1 direction. The AOSP lockscreen (hell any Android "slide" lockscreen for that matter) slides in both directions, slide to the right to unlock, slide to the left for sound on/off. Sounds like 2 different types of lockscreens to me.
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
Well, the slide to unlock is a set direct pattern in the same direction on gingerbread and below. How they're saying the nexus infringes on it is beyond me. Also, can't wait for el Google to get the notification drop down patent... :)
[Focus General] naiksrahul1:
Well i couldn't ask question in development thread so posting my question here.

I have AT&T unlocked focus. What will happen if i flash it with DFT sammy rainbow ROM, will it be AT&T unlocked after the flash?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Flashing does NOT affect NCK (network lock). Once unlocked, your Focus will stay unlocked, regardless of what ROM you flash on it (same if you update/revert through Zune etc)
[Focus General] naiksrahul1:
Got it, Thanks.
[Focus General] mywaylau:
go flashing,joy rainbow rom,nothing to doubt
[Focus General] machbe1984:
Now you can up the mi7 rom. This is very nice, full unlock,...etc. This is based on official rom of rogers

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andre88lc:
Hi!

I've seen that if i take a photo with sgs+ the file is large about 500/600 kb(this with broodRom and UCM gingerbread rom 2.1(now i've this rom)). I've tried to make some photos with a samsung galaxy ace and a samsung galaxy s and the file is large about 1,5 MB.

I've set the camera in many way, but the results is the same.

Yesterday i tried to reinstal stock 2.3.4(XXKP4) and the camera of my sgs+ take photos large 1.5 MB!!!!

I've tried to port the camera.apk, camerafirmware.apk, cameradata and firmware folder from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6... if i replace camerafirmare, cameradata and firmware all works, but file is large 500/600 KB. If i replace camera.apk, the camera does not appeare in the menu of the application.

Have you any idea of why a photo with 2.3.6 firmware is large only 500/600 kb?

How can i port camera from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 to have the same quality?

Thanks in advance!

Andrea
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
it might be a line of code in the build.prop in the custom roms that's causing this (not sure coz i don't use them) , ask in the corresponding thread if there is a jpg tweak or something like that .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spectrum011:
Its very interesting, indeed!

I just compare EXIF infos from two pictures, one taken from 2.3.5 stock rom and one from my current XXQK1 2.3.6 custom rom and didnt find any differencies in dimensions, resolution, bit depth or any other relevant data.

Maybe somehow in older firmware, camera takes two pictures in jpeg for some reasons, but am not sure exactly.

My testing pictures both looks good and if the quality remained intact, I will not complain because twice smaller space occupying. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andre88lc:
I've tried to install stock 2.3.6 XXKQ1 and photos are large 1,5 mb...

Now i've a custom rom based on XXKQ1(UCM Gingerbread Rom) and photos are 500/600 kb... i don't know why...:confused:

I've seen that the quality of a photos taken with stock and another taken with a custom rom is not different, even if one is large 1,5 mb and one 500/600... :confused: :confused: :confused:

Is there the possibility that a custom rom create a jpeg file more compressed?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andre88lc:
I've tried to write in built.prop the row: ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100, but nothing change!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H1tman23:
That's really strange, so I made an experiment:

Galaxy Mini Android 2.2.1 stock ROM camera 3.15MP photo weighs ~0.9-1.2MB.

Galaxy Ace Android 2.3.5 stock ROM camera 5MP photo weighs ~1-1.3MB.

Galaxy S Plus Android 2.3.6 UCM ROM camera 5MP photo weighs ~0.4-0.6MB.

Galaxy S Plus Android 2.3.3 stock ROM photo weighs nearly the same as custom ROM.

Photo with Mini (~958KB):

Photo with Ace (~1.2MB):

http://www.part.lt/img/858fa5a28b56f40443ee2b050be43e28227.jpg

Photo with S Plus custom ROM (~378KB):

http://www.part.lt/img/cdc088b438509352dc0c6ea909ba063e703.jpg

Photo with S Plus stock ROM (~609KB) (sorry for the dark photo, but weight difference is not so big in bright photo too):

http://www.part.lt/img/92981a53a11fd8c6259234e9ffc8a6bc87.jpg

In conclusion, photos weight deferencies a bit depends on the lighting but so much. Galaxy S Plus photos weigh least but in my opinion the quality is the best :cool:. I do not understand why thread author photos with stock ROM weigh so much :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andre88lc:
Thanks for your test!

I've tried with stock 2.3.6(XXKQ1) and photo was 1,3 MB... With stock 2.3.4(XXKP4) the same...

With stock 2.3.3( i don'r remember wich version) was 500/600 kb...

I've seen that quality in fotos big 1,3 mb is the same about fotos of 600 kb... The only things that i don't understand is why in some rom photos is "bigger" than in other...

I've opened this tread because in a first time i suppose that a smaller foto has worste quality, but now i'm not sure.about that! :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H1tman23:
If the quality is the same so no need to worry ;)

[HTC Amaze 4G] Jessfox:
I think what the other guy is saying is do a search for the zillions of other threads just like this one.

Amaze and i have both phones
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
I was iffy about the amaze before i downloaded the screen filter app, when i downloaded it i was happy with it aha
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
its even better with my sense 3.5 :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] babymatteo:
I also have both phones...and i choose the AMAZE over the sgs2. And just like what X said...His Sense 3.5 rom makes this phone a joy to use!

Go with the SGS2 if you want a bigger screen with blobs and ghost lines everywhere.

Go with the Amaze if you want an awesome phone with the best camera available.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
You like the sense 3.5 :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jessfox:
I just had my sgs2 swapped with the amaze. The screen issue was too much to ignore.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
All this talk about sense 3.5. I downloaded but haven't flashed. Guess I'm going to have to do that now lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] aiwapro:
Please keep the comparos coming. I have a MyTouch 4G which was having screen issues, so T-Mobile swapped for the Sensation, but I just don't like it. I don't like the shape of it. I don't know. I just don't like it, but loved the MyTouch 4G. I ordered the Amaze yesterday, over the SG II, and need some confirmation from you guys that I made the right decision. I am going to go in the store and take a look at them tonight.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
You'll love it!!!! My brother has the galaxy s2 and I don't like how it feels. Amaze Is not THAT bulky like reviews say. It's perfect
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
Both phones have screen issues, but the sgs ii issues can NOT be fixed.. ours can, with a download of a free app :) The rooted version that people are talking about uses more battery than screen filter for the people wondering.. well it uses 2mb more of RAM so i think so xD
[HTC Amaze 4G] Snakecharmed:
The Amaze appears more rounded and sleek than the Sensation and it has lines that probably come a little closer to the MT4G. The SGS II is a rounded rectangular slab. I prefer the looks of the Amaze.

I prefer a heavier phone. Put a well-built phone inside of a case that grips well and it just feels more secure in your hands.
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
I tested out both phones quite a bit before making my decision a couple weeks ago and ended up purchasing the Amaze. I couldn't stand the resolution on The S2 .....it was terrible, that and didn't care for touchwiz and overall the phone felt cheap.

This phone is definitely heavier, which I love! IMHO looks better built and is faster. I have a buddy with an SgS2 and can't get but 8 download and 2 upload on same newtwork to where I have almost hit 20 a couple times and 8 upload!

Love this phone!
[HTC Amaze 4G] aiwapro:
I'm glad to see that you hit 20 on download with the Amaze, because I was a little worried, as I was in a T-Mobile store tonight, comparing the two (I order the Amaze yesterday), and somehow the Amaze had gotten network locked, so I could test it, but the Samsung was hitting 18M down and 3 or 4 up. I was hoping that I had not made the wrong decision on getting the Amaze. The white SG II looks awesome though, very awesome. I'm a fan of the sleek looks, like the IPhone 4/S, not all of the grooves and lumps of some phones, so the SG II looks great to me, http://galaxy-s.t-mobile.com/samsung-galaxy-s2#/gallery .

Were you using the Speedtest.net app?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ksocoolwitit:
what app are you talking about?
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
Yep, that was the app I used. I generally hit around 10-14 dl and 4-7 upload, which is still fast. 20 was surprising.

Didn't know the S2 went up that high?
[HTC Amaze 4G] BlackElvis79:
I ditch my Amaze and got the SGS2. I've been happy ever since.
[HTC Amaze 4G] aiwapro:
Nice, I went to another T-Mobile store, and they had an Amaze that was functioning correctly. I installed the Speedtest app on that, and saw 18 - 20 on it too. Very nice. My Amaze came today, and at home I have gotten ~6.5 - 8.5 down, and about ~1.2 - 3.2 up. That is in a fringe area, using the Cel-Fi booster, so not too bad.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rubyman94:
What made you get a sgs2?
[HTC Amaze 4G] darkphantom:
I've had 4 GS2s with screen issues on all. I just got my Amaze 4G today and a SGS2 (white) from the promo event - the Amaze has MUCH better build quality and the screen is superb compared to the crap "SAMOLED" on the GS2.

Screen size is marginally smaller, won't change anything.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
i agree with whats been said so far. had an s2, loved it but the screen issue with ghost lines and blobs was too much for my ocd to handle. im having a tough time getting used to the amaze tho, only because the lack of aosp roms. sense in any form looks good, but it just always feels too bulky and bloated. i flashed energy last night and im much happier than i was with stock.

all in all, the amaze feels more like a quality device. once someone figures out a way to get s-off, its gonna be whole different ballgame.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jessfox:
My other half is working in an aosp rom. He developed for the epic and sgs2. So just be patient :)

I also switched from the sgs2 . Mostly because of the blobs and lines. It was also way too big.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BlackElvis79:
I've always been fan of HTC, until I got the Sensation. The Sensation is a sweet phone, I still have it around, but if it wasn't for all the great Dev support it would be worthless. And so its been with every other device that HTC has dropped since. No updates. I picked the SGS2 because I'm on T-Mobile and those two (Amaze & SGS2) were the best the had. I real was put off by the first T-Mobile SGS (Vibrant) and got rid of it about a month after getting it, but the SGS2 is what I feel the first one was supposed to be. I still have the Amaze but for now its just collecting dust.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Maybe you could sell your unused amaze to the team revolution bounty for a slight discount to help achieve s=off? It's not my place to tell you what to do with your property, but I do know a bounty is out there, and if you got the Amaze via upgrade, you could still sell for a profit and at a discount compared to a market value price. Just a suggestion and please, I mean no disrespect in any way.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BlackElvis79:
Well, it was for sale in the MP, but I paid almost retail for it and none of the offers that I was getting for it were reasonable. Considering the 9/10 condition.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Yeah... Ya never know, you may one day hate your sgs and decide to switch back ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] arcadeon54:
I exchanged my sgs2 with 50 bucks for the htc amaze and have been happy ever since :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] darktek:
Having used both phones and many other HTC devices... I'd have to go with the Amaze as well. It just feels more solid.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bdix:
+1 very well put sir
[HTC Amaze 4G] BlackElvis79:
Yea, its possible. Or I may trade if to someone or some dev here for a SkyRocket ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] rubyman94:
Or you could give it to me? LOL jk man. I believe the HTC makes better quality phones.

[Defy Android Development] mariosanoguera:
Hello guys, I have a moto defy (not +) with green lense, size pictures are about 700kb which I got really sad because I thought I had SOC module, but after using catlog I discovered that I had Bayer module.

My question is, can I patch it or something so it takes 1.5mb photos like it did before? I had another defy which was red lense and I see a big difference (from what I remember) I think there was a patch for this but I cant actually find it

thx for the help :)
[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
I think you may be confused. The green lens camera is the SOC module, which in stock form produces image files < 1MB on the 5 MP setting. The Bayer camera module has the red lens (though there are reports of a

very few

Bayer camera modules with a green lens) and in stock form produces image files > 1MB on the 5 MP setting. You need to apply a patch to the SOC driver to get it to produce better quality, larger image files.

I suspect you may have misinterpreted your catlog and you actually have a SOC camera module. Either that, or you do have one of the rare green lens Bayer modules, but your camera app isn't set to shoot 5 MP photos.

Hate to say it, but "defy green lens camera patch" in the forum search brings this thread up as the first hit...
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
download MS2GINger 3 and extract /system/etc/mot_ise_imager.cfg.bin and replace the current one in your system.
[Defy Android Development] mariosanoguera:
Im sure I have the Bayer module, I can upload a screenschot of how after opening camera and searching at catlog for bayer it shows and if i write soc it doesnt find nothing. I can also show screenshots of the imagesize of pics.

Thx for the thread Ive seen it before, but in that one there are many replys working great for soc and I have green lense but not soc

Im afraid that if I patch it then If i restore the phone with a new rom it will remain patched or it will be deleted?
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
there are green lens bayer module (usualy is red but there's also green)
[Defy Android Development] mariosanoguera:
Thanks for the MS2GINger stuff, can I do this just by doing it in root explorer for example? After replacing this I have to wipe cache or simply reboot in order it works? Will it work in the latest miui version? Or should I install the MS2GINger 3 to rec in HD and take better quality photos?
[Defy Android Development] mariosanoguera:
So in conclusion there are Green Bayer but their size image is 700kb? and this can be solved with patch or the MS2GINger 3 found in this forum?
[HTC Desire S] niravnn:
I'm just a beginner

Hi I'm using virtuous quattro rom rc3. when I formatted my microsd card to exFAT and my htc desire s shows damaged card and I've to reformat it to FAT32 so is there any solution for to make work exFAT on virtuous quattro rom?
[HTC Desire S] willywally93:
I think you can't. exFAT is a proprietary filesystem, so noone can use it apart microsoft(wich is the owner of this FS). you can format your SDcard only in fat32 if you want to use it as a removable drive.

cheers!
[HTC Desire S] niravnn:
no actually android support exfat when I was using exfat on htc stock rom it was just working fine

Update: my bad it wasn't exFAT but I hear android have implemented this file system but still in beta version
[HTC Desire S] willywally93:
Really? I've never Tried it. Maybe the problem is that AOSP ROM don't support exFAT, we need someone who test that, I can't now, I'm on endymion.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Yeah I believe it has to be supported by the ROM/kernel. So HTC probably included support but the AOSP ROMs dont
[HTC Desire S] niravnn:
Yes and I believe it can be implement into android but you have to be expert

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT

and anyway I'm tired of 2gb limitation
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I believe FAT32 has a limit of 4gb.
[HTC Desire S] niravnn:
flash drive with fat32 has 4gig limitation but android have only 2gig limitation per file

why the hell do you need a 2GB file on an android!?

And hope to see exFAT supported soon, way faster than 32/16 on windows
[HTC Desire S] niravnn:
well I'm using 32gb card in my desire s so I also use as a portable drive and move fullhd movies or large files one pc to another pc

Oh come on people, those requests are completely valid. Though, OP, next time don't "of course I could do it myself".
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
They're unnecessary and since no one had ever used those on a G2x kernel before, I'm assuming it would take time to figure it out. Time that would be wasted since the two things he is requesting don't help our phone at all. If he can do it himself, then he'll do it himself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] m00nman:
Well, those patches should increase the battery life which is pretty bad on our phone right now. My 1980mah battery did improve the situation a little, but it still doesnt come close to sony ericsson x10 or nexus s that i owned before.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ptweasel:
I haven't really had any battery life issues. I charge my phone at night, and then use it all day.

If I go crazy with games and tethering I might have to plug it in for a few minutes during the day, but battery life doesn't seem any worse than other phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ptweasel:
Just so the OP doesn't think I'm dogging on him, there are kernel patches I've wanted before also. I'd like a kernel that supports netfilter patches so I could use a nicer wifi tether app:

No, they won't. I can get over a week just leaving my phone there. Which should make it pretty clear that we don't need it.
