When you've set the working mode to screencast, it will start recording when you hit the green "accept" button. It stops recording when you open the app again and hit the quit button. The movie is saved in the ShootMe folder on your sd card.

If the app was already active when you switched from screenshot to screencast, tap quit, and then restart and tap the green button.

[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
Dunno why ShootMe doesn't show the screencast option on your phone. Maybe it doesn't like your ROM, or maybe it's unable to talk with the video codecs on your phone?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorjess:
Is there a possible way to completely terminate app on home button press? Because everytime my friends use my phone they didn't realize there is a back button.. So they just presses the home button like they were using idevices.. This would hog the memory with the running apps and i have to constantly close them everytime they finish playing..

ICS does have this feature but im running GB atm..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
Doesn't matter. Android automatically manages those tasks when they're sent to the background. You're supposed to use the home button like that. Gingerbread is very efficient at handling tasks and RAM. Hence no need for any task killers/manual killing of apps. It's unnecessary. They'll automatically be purged from memory when a freshly opened app needs to take their place in memory to run. I know it feels satisfying to always kill every running app (coming from Symbian S60) and think that you have all the RAM free, but its pointless and of no use.

RAM is supposed to be full. Unused/empty RAM is considered to be wasted RAM. The RAM will be managed completely by the Android system without user intervention. The only time you'll ever need to manually kill an app is if it's misbehaving and causing stability issues.

So continue using the home button like that, there's nothing wrong.

Take a look at this excellent article to get a clear idea -

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorjess:
So it's best to left the apps running?

But these apps are different to services right? I mean, when it's running in the background it's counted as inactive? Because my friend's SGS2 had plethora of active services running and it drains battery like crazy..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
Only concern I can see is if an app isnt killed and is still active in the background, it could use cpu/battery power, but if it's Instantly killed it won't anymore.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
They will only drain power if the apps are requesting CPU which any good app shouldn't. RAM needs power but I believe its being powered the same whether full or partially full and I imagine RAM requires little power. There are some that will drain battery if left running, and those are the ones that you may have to kill but it shouldn't be the norm.

Hello,

Does anyone know of an app that notifies by waking up the screen or something visual even in standby mode? I work in a pretty noisy place and often won't feel a vibration so it would be ideal to have the SGP on my desk and visually see when a new email arives in my gmail inbox.

I saw an app called NoLED...

...but it does not work for my SGP :(

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SirRhor:

It's because they borrowed code from another kernel and adapted it. The Galaxy S series have the advantage of being a close cousin to a nexus phone.

I am relatively new to this whole community; however I have looked and can't find anything like this.

Is there an app or a way to monitor what information is being sent from your smartphone? As kind of a reverse CIQ, so you can see what information apps and other things are collecting about you, and or taking it one step further and having the control to block that info from being sent?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nick34609:
You can look at the permissions asked by each application. If if you want to block the application, just uninstall it LOL.

I really wished they would have installed a good set of speakers in the keyboard! my only complaint.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordache16:
They supposedly included a 'subwoofer' in the early development prototypes but removed it for some reason. Recently, I have seen a couple of websites that still list the built in 'subwoofer' as a feature, but it simply does not exist. If you look at some of the tear down videos of the dock I believe there is an open spot where the speaker was supposed to go.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briandevlin:
I had to reload my computer, on completion I downloaded fastboot and tried to flash dooms ics kernel, I put in the command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' after pressing menu and inserting usb cable blue light on, press return I just get 'waiting for device' I have been using fastboot for months, also I loaded SE Updates Services to get drivers installed, I'm sure there is something silly I've forgot to load. Any help would be appreciated. I'm not sure if I have to install Java for this, and if I do which version. :o

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
On a daily basis I read thread after thread of NT owners having issues with any and every ROM. Be it just rooted, using stock (or any variation of a stock ROM), CM7, MIUI etc..., having issues with the partitions. My biggest and best suggestion I can make to ANYONE, is to set up, and get ADB working. I don't mean ADB wireless. The wireless variation is great when things are running correctly, but if you can't boot to your homescreen to activate it, well then it does you no good.

ADB is essential in troubleshooting and repair. There are numerous threads already running and many links to them from various places, as well as included in many people's signatures, on how to get ADB working correctly. Take advantage of them BEFORE you need them. I know it can be a pain in the neck to get it working like it's supposed to, but the peace of mind you get from knowing it is there, ready to go when you need it...that my friends is priceless.

Cheers

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lenardo:

Change your options to 50 posts per page- "i skimmed through 8 pages", when i am on page 3...Geeze, that is the First thing i change on EVERY board i am on, set to the MAX posts per page allowed. (all of them are set at either 50 or 100...)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
They are everywhere. (Check Lavero-Burgos signature for one) If I post links to all the places they are located, I might as well not post. It's not up to me to do the work for you. I am just stating for the best outcome, you need ADB set up and working properly.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DooMLoRD:
FlashTool

Flashtool is one of the MOST IMPORTANT piece of software for ur phone, it is an unofficial, but the best way to flash official firmwares. Generally the firmware is supplied in form of FTF package (a container file ending with .ftf) which can be flashed via FlashTool. Thus FlashTool is the easiest way to do offline updates, just download the FTF and keep on PC and flash ur device when ever you want to. One can also flash select partitions using FlashTool, say you want to flash baseband(radio) from newer/older firmware but want to keep the main system the same u can do that using newest FlashTool! FlashTool also supports fastboot modes! so if you are not very comfortable with command line then u can use the FastBoot Toolbox inbuilt into FlashTool to fastboot the kernels!

For all flashtool informations (download links, release notes, FAQ) go to the Flashtool Homepage

Flashtool is on github : FlashTool GitHub repo

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DooMLoRD:
Rooting

Currently (April 17, 2012) there is no exploit which works on Xperia S firmware... so the only way to root is to unlock bootloader and then flash a prerooted system.img OR flash an auto-rooting kernel...

Bin4ry has posted a pre-rooted image here

OR

list of firmwares and prerooted system.img

OR

you can flash any auto-rooting kernel... some kernels feature auto-root which basically means that once u flash that kernel and boot the device, the kernel will perform necessary actions to root your device!!!

auto-rooting kernels available:

DooMKernel

any queries regarding how to use either of these should be posted in corresponding thread...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DooMLoRD:
Flashing Custom Kernel

[ requirements ]

bootloader of the device is UNLOCKED

fastboot drivers installed

fastboot binaries

Instructions for flashing custom kernels

reboot device into fastboot mode

adb reboot bootloader

OR

power off device and with VOL UP button pressed connect USB cable

BLUE LED should come up

go to the folder where u have downloaded the fastboot binaries

with SHIFT key do a RIGHT click of the mouse and then select "Open Command Prompt here"

now you will get windows Command Prompt

type the following command to check if device is connected

fastboot devices

it should return something like:

PSDN:XXXXXXXXXXXXX fastboot

this verifies that device is correctly connected

now flash the kernel (it can be a boot.img OR a kernel.elf OR kernel.sin)

fastboot flash boot boot.img

OR

fastboot flash boot kernel.elf

OR

fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

you will get output like:

sending 'boot' (4804 KB)...
(bootloader) USB download speed was 15923kB/s
OKAY [ 0.326s]
writing 'boot'...
(bootloader) Flash of partition 'boot' requested
(bootloader) S1 partID 0x00000003, block 0x00002000-0x0000bfff
(bootloader) Erase operation complete, [I][B]0 bad blocks encountered[/B][/I]
(bootloader) Flashing...
(bootloader) Flash operation complete
[I][B]OKAY[/B][/I] [ 0.940s]
finished. total time: 1.266s

keep an eye if you get any "bad blocks" and that finally u get "OKAY"

thats it kernel is now flashed

now reboot from fastboot mode

fastboot reboot

the device should start booting

this same procedure can be used to flash STOCK kernels also

just extract the kernel.sin from the firmware FTF (open the FTF using 7zip)

and flash with above instructions
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DooMLoRD:
Flashing Custom ROMs

Most custom ROMs are provided as update.zip. Its a technical term, basically its a special signed ZIP file which can be flashed via custom recovery.

Download the ZIP file and save it on ur PC

now connect ur device and save the ROMs ZIP file on the SDCARD

disconnect the device (after copying is over)

reboot into recovery

go to install ZIP from sdcard menu and navigate to the folder where you saved the ZIP file

now select it

recovery will start flashing the ROM

after flashing is over just reboot device and you will be on the custom ROM :)

Tips:

some CUSTOM roms require specific kernels (like CM9) in that case FIRST flash the corresponding kernel and then follow the instuctions posted above
