Avoid the LG optimus 2x. Good hardware specs, terrible UI compared to Sense.

It's dev section on XDA will also be a ghost town compared to the Sensation.

But seriously, wait another couple of weeks and there will a whole heap of other options to choose from.

It not too much bigger than desire s , you can still use it with one hand , it has a good resolution and a dual core processor.

I dont like big phones.

I dont know why someone buy a phone like sensation xl.

4.7 inches with a resolution like desire s.

[LG Optimus 2x] bodhisattva99:
Hi guys,

Thinking about getting a O 2x, so I have a few questions.

Which ROM is currently the most complete ICS build for the 2x?

Is HDMI working OK and in what ICS ROM?

Is there opengl (HW-accel) support and in what ICS ROM?

Thanks in advance.
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
The best ICS rom available is the one from RC himself. (Link in signature). You'll find out yourself what's working and what not, although I can tell you that HW acceleration is not completely working.

There are many launchers with the featuring allowing resizing of widgets.

But I have yet to find a launcher that allows scaling of icons. I can't resize my application icons to 2x2 size, then change it to a custom image since the default icon would be blurry by the resizing.

Anyone knows of a launcher that does that?

Try Desktop visualizer. Can be found from Android market and its free.

[Android General] majdinj:
Tired from using different market unlocker or enabler apps that are not responding well and not downloading the apps that are not available in your country..

Are you fed-up from searching for the apk file of that app and can't find it..

Now you can follow these steps and I can assure you that most of market apps will be available in your country for installation (or buying --> need test).. "Some of them still can't be accessed by this guide.!!"

This guide was tested on Motorola Xoom and it went perfect..

So here we go (No need for any third party program :)):

1) Go to your ordinary android internet browser that comes with your android device.

2) In google search, go to android market.

​

3) If it asks by which app you will open the market website, choose "Browser".

​

4) Now you are in android market website.

​

5) Search for the app that is not available in your country; here is 'drive mount' app as an example.

​

6) If it asks by which app you will open the page, choose "Browser".

​

7) Now tap on the app that you are searching for (don't tap on install button); here is 'drive mount' app as an example.

​

8) If it asks by which app you will open the app, choose "Market".

​

9) As you can see, the install button is active..

​

10) Set back till installation finish ;)

GIVE IT A TRY NOW​
[Android General] AqptIK4U:
tried on my SGS2(2.3.5) and the market version 3.4.4.

it worked only once, opening an app link with the market app but it says I'm not allow to install this app so exit from the market app and opened the link with the default browser instead, then hit INSTALL and logged in and hit back key, choose the market app, finally started downloading.

this procedure didn't work for the next time. maybe I need to be logged out before trying this.

thanks anyway for showing me the way around.

Big Thanks

This is the EU firmware, verison 3_420 that I originally downloaded from Viewsonic's Euro website as linked in the post - it is in *.nb0 format.

Placed this in dropbox - kindly let me know if you can access & retrieve it, or if you run into problems. Some of my cloud storage are gone as I am uploaded it to the multiload server and it's ...

Now i have SUTL and the Rom...

When trying to flash, it boots in the recovery but then aborts...

and says that the file couldn´t be sent to the device...

do i need an Micro-SD-Card(tried without) inserted to flash the Stock rom?

or do i need the stock Recovery(i have CWM installed)?

Greets and Thanks
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Whether it's flashing the stock/factory rom or cwm, you need to have the mSD card in the slot, especially custom ROM or else it will not install. Try it again.

The stock recovery will format & if I remember correctly (it will unroot the device) - need to root it again & reinstall CWM, so please make sure you have the necessary files since lots of us "had" cloud files disappeared due to the megaupload & related issues recently.

Check & uninstall, then reinstall any usb drivers - I believe it will load from the device onto the computer. While still in CWM recovery, connect via USB cable and if you can read the mSD card, then it should be ready to re-flash the factory ROM.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Superloko:
OK... I got it...

the problem was the recovery.

After flashing an older CWM-Recovery SUTL did the job.... and flashed the Image.

In order to develop an app remote desktop WP7, I started to with a desktop simple viewer and it works

but the problem that not show all actions that I do in Server side, that's video in YouTube can show you my problem

"watch?v=3q-FumfYsPQ&feature=youtu.be" (add it after /)

I use socket connection and I decode and encode my data (images).

this my code in WP7 client side

void Conncet(string IP_Address) {

client_socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);

SocketAsyncEventArgs socketEventArg = new SocketAsyncEventArgs()

{

RemoteEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse(IP_Address), 4532)

};

socketEventArg.Completed += OnConncetCompleted;

client_socket.ConnectAsync(socketEventArg);

}

void StartReceiving()

{

byte[] response = new byte[131072];

SocketAsyncEventArgs socketEventArg = new SocketAsyncEventArgs();

socketEventArg.Completed += OnReceiveCompleted;

socketEventArg.SetBuffer(response, 0, response.Length);

client_socket.ReceiveAsync(socketEventArg);

}

private void ViewReceivedImage(byte[] buffer)

{ try { MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(buffer);

BitmapImage bi = new BitmapImage();

bi.SetSource(ms); MyImage.Source = bi;

ms.Close();

}

catch (Exception) { }

finally { StartReceiving();

} }

this my code in Server side (PC) sending images

void StartSending() { while (!stop)

try

{

Image oldimage = scr.Get_Resized_Image(wToCompare, hToCompare, scr.GetDesktopBitmapBytes());

//Thread.Sleep(1);

Image newimage = scr.Get_Resized_Image(wToCompare, hToCompare, scr.GetDesktopBitmapBytes());

byte[] buffer = scr.GetDesktop_ResizedBytes(wToSend, hToSend);

float difference = scr.difference(newimage, oldimage);

if (difference >= 1)

{

SenderSocket.Send(buffer);

}

}

catch (Exception) { }

}

My question is how can I make the send and receive fast to show the PC screen in WP7 in +/- real time.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
The short answer is, you can't. Even if you compress the screen images first, which I note you're not doing, the amount of data is just too great. An uncompressed 800x480x32-bit image (such as WP7's screen can display) is 1.5MB. That's each frame. You can halve that by using 16-bit color, of course; now it's .75MB per frame. If you want even 20 frames per second - which is slower than TV or almost any video camera, but is moderately smooth for most things - that's 15 MB/sec, which is 120Mbps (about twice the speed of most WiFi, faster even than most wired networks).

With some simple image compression combined with clever data differencing (sending only the parts of the image that change), you could probably reduce that data load by at least a factor of 10. That's still too high for most Internet connections (even if your phone can download 12 Mbps, your PC probably can't upload it) but it might be usable over WiFi (802.11n probably, 802.11a or g maybe). You'd have to make your code quite a bit more complicated, of course. Additionally, the phone's processor would have to work a lot harder, since it would be decompressing the data and applying it to the changed part of the frame, instead of just dumping netowrk packets into an image buffer.

The real solution, of course, is to use one of the several programs and protocols that already exist and have the intended purpose of doing exactly what you're trying to do. The most common on Windows is called Terminal Services or Remote Desktop (Remote Desktop Protocol). Nearly all versions of Windows come with the client, and the better editions come with the server. On WP7, there are already some client apps available; the one I use is called "RemoteDesktop" (no space). Note that, in addition to having a well-optimized algorithm for screen updates (but it's *still* not going to be smooth for things like movies or games), Remote Desktop Protocol lets you control the PC directly as well.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juste_3al_faza:
Thanks

I look that's apps in marketplace and it looks very difficult to me, but I develop simple viewer and next time I will develop the code that can remote the PC.

the idea about send only that pixels that changed between the old image and the new image is really good, but how I ca send only that pixel and they're position in the image, that's a question.

And about compression, how I can do that with images?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Well, just compressing the full screen to .PNG or .JPG and sending it would shrink things considerably. There are .NET libraries available (there might even be one in the core library) for image compression. Alternatively, there are some excellent C/C++ libraries available, if you can code native interop. I know the phone has built-in capability to handle JPG, not sure about PNG though.

However, once the data is compressed it's hard to extract a part of it and send just that part. What I suggest you do instead is identify the portion of the image that changed. For example, if all the changed pixels fall within one rectangle, use that. Send the coordinates of the rectangle (its origin and either the opposite corner or the length/width), followed by the updated data. On the phone, listen for the rectangle to update, then write the updated data into those coordinates on the display.

Note that you may want to send multiple rectangles - for example, if the top left nd bottom right pixels change, but nothing else does, a single rectangle that encompasses both of them would have to be the entire image. Instead, send two tiny rectangles - one for each corner - and you can massively reduce the data needed. However, the process of quickly detecting a good way to break up an image into the parts that are and are not moving is tricky. You're essentially trying to create a video compression algorithm here, and although I know a little of the theory, it's totally not my area and I don't know much more than what I've told you so far.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
I don't understand that. What is "difficult"? Enable RDP access on desktop? Or add your desktop ip address to the WP7 app? Take a look to the RemoteDesktop app by Topperware: it's fast, professionally designed and easy to use but of course not a free (however $4.99 is not much!)

As for me, it looks like you are trying to "invent a bicycle" but without basic knowledge how the remote access protocols should work. It's not that easy like just a transfer bitmap images via sockets...

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juste_3al_faza:
you talk about compression images to mpeg????????????

have you an idea when I zoom In image in WP7, most image be clear to see, how I can do it?

Edit (After see the article about MJPEG silverlight)

It use the HTTP connexion and I use socket, It can work together?

If yes how I can combine with it (plz a sample code can help :) )
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
No, I'm talking about M(otion)JPEG over HTTP, easiest possible video streaming implementation. For the solution, you need to implement your own M-JPEG HTTP server application, and on WP7 you may use (it's already exists, google for MJPEG MediaStreamSource) MediaElement. And I don't understand your second question.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juste_3al_faza:
I already edit my previous post

and about the 2nd question, I mean when to pinch in WP7 screen, is the image will be clear or not.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
I don't have time to write an example for you; however it's your project or homework :), I just give you a direction.

As for seconds question (as far as I understand): it's depends from the image dimensions and JPEG compression level. If you resize 1920x1080 image to 800x480 with 50% quality, resulting image will looks not so good.

P.S. Check this project: http://mjpeg.codeplex.com/ To estimate output quality on Wp7, you may use any MJPEG desktop streaming solution (vlc, for example).
