If you're constantly downloading APK packages from the Internet, you'll know how annoying it is to copy them to the SD card. So, with this application, you can just click one from anywhere on your PC to install it onto your phone!

SYSTEM APP INSTALLING DOESN'T WORK YET.

THIS PROGRAM SOMETIMES DOESN'T WORK.

Prerequisites

- ADB environmental variable set up

(Cornea, one of my programs available on XDA, can do the same thing for you).

- Windows

- ADB drivers for your phone

- APKinstaller.bat

1. Enable USB debugging.

2. Right-click any APK file, then choose Open With. Tick 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'.

3. Click Browse.

4. Find APKinstaller.bat, then double-click it.

5. In the textbox, type "Android package file (double-click to install)".

6. Now, the APK will install.

To install an APK in the future, just double click it!

I am on phantom hackers blazer rom 4.0 with the fb15 modem and when I first flashed I was getting a good 40 hours under moderate to heavy use now it seems like I struggle to make it through a whole day on one charge. What could be causing this deterioration? Seems like my idle battery use especially has gotten allot worse. I used to lose less than 1 %per hour now I seem to be losing around 4-5% per hour.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] I_FLY_Z3R0:
Probably the modem. Go back to the old one If you were getting good battery life with it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbtrucking:
Well thats the reason i switched to fb15 from el29 is because i was getting horrible battery life on el29. Fb15 was good to me for a good while. Just for some reason the last couple days the battery life seems to be deteriorating. Should i try wiping battery stats?

Have you been in areas with bad reception lately? Maybe it's this or you just need to try different modems. Try the latest FC one
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbtrucking:
YES! Honestly I did not even think of that! In my house I am always getting 2 bars or less and sometimes I am even in roaming. I dont know about trying the new ICS modems though I have heard allot of reports of them making peoples phones really hot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chickn484:
I struggled with the same problem, I moved into the lower level of my house and my battery life seemed to almost be cut in half. I usually get 1-2 bars down there vs. 4 upstairs. Now I know what the problem was. Thanks!

ORIGINAL SOURCE CAN BE READ HERE : http://www.rethink-wireless.com/2012/03/08/verizon-announces-ice-cream-sandwich-update-12-devices.htm

Any Verizon customers wondering when they can expect to get the update to Android 4.0 on their handset or tablet has a little more to go on as of this week as the carrier has released a list of fourteen devices which will receive Ice Cream Sandwich. While it reveals what will be getting the latest version of Android it doesn't go into the more crucial detail of when.

Handsets set to get the upgrade include; HTC's ThunderBolt, Droid Incredible 2, Rhyme and Rezound, Motorola's Bionic, Razr, Razr Maxx and Droid 4 and LG's Spectrum. Among the tablets getting the upgrade are Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 and 10.1 and Motorola's Xoom and Xyboards.

The fact the Droid devices make the list isn't surprising as Motorola had already said so in its own announcement. If it's anything to go by then it means anyone eager to receive the update could face waiting up to Q3 this year to get it on their handset.

In addition to refining the Android UI with common actions made more visible, more intuitive gestures and other features such as Android Beam and Face Unlock the new OS works across both tablets and smartphones. This avoids the divergence of the two branches of the Android that was seen when the tablet-friendly 3.0 was released.

Verizon promises to update the list as more information becomes available "throughout the year". This doesn't exactly suggest that the update is going to be available soon and may encourage Android loving customers to look elsewhere for their Ice Cream Sandwich thrills. If they stick with Verizon this mainly means opting for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus which was released in December and comes with the OS pre-installed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] javroch:
Just a heads up, I'm in the process of migrating everything over to github. As well, I'll be adding facebook sync and possibly one or two more tweaks hopefully tonight. Also, starting with the next release, I'll be naming them "Clean AOSP x.y.z build #". So, the update hopefully coming tonight will be "Clean AOSP 4.0.3 build 2". Any further tweaks / modifications will probably be added to a separate ROM, possibly Clean AOSP+, because I really want to keep Clean AOSP tweak free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] javroch:
Build 2 posted, includes fixed Facebook Contact Sync. That's about it for now. Next thing I want to do is validate whether or not Google Wallet is working. I've been able to use NFC to beam, etc and everything else seems to be working fairly well so far. Let me know if anybody has any feedback for me

I tried to see if I could get Twitter's Contact Sync working in a similar fashion, but it seems it's an issue on their end: http://support.twitter.com/groups/3...cles/213727-known-issues-with-the-android-app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ezcats:
so to clarify...the apps like rom manager and terminal emulator will be removed?

I hate having to delete all the apps from CM9

thinking about making a rom that is as close to stock as possible (all google apps and stuff but its still going to be based on CM)

if your rom removes all this stuff....niiiceeeeeee.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] javroch:
My ROM isn't based on CM at all in any way whatsoever. It's based on AOSP source directly. So no, there won't be any ROM Manager or Terminal Emulator included by default. My goal for this ROM was actually exactly what you said, "[to make] a rom that is as close to stock as possible".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] javroch:
I'm not gonna add this as a "Modification" or anything... because I didn't really do anything to fix anything, but I just wanted to confirm that I was successfully able to use Google Wallet on Clean AOSP last night. Apparently, I just needed to "Reset Google Wallet" from when I flashed from stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] javroch:
today, i will begin working on implementing the new root settings menu from cyanogenmod into clean aosp. i feel that this is really an essential feature for any ROM and so i think this is a necessary modification for clean aosp
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] javroch:
I'm currently uploading build 3. should be up tonight / tomorrow. it includes the root settings menu under developer options. the menu provides four options "Disabled", "Apps Only", "ADB Only", and "Apps and ADB". currently the default in build 3 is "Apps Only", however i will probably be putting out a build 4 which defaults it to "Disabled". my code is mainly based off of cyanogenmod's commits mentioned in the blog post here, and functions much in the same way. cm doesn't build Superuser from source, but i do, so I also added some of my own code related to this in Superuser. basically in CM it would say that superuser had granted apps permissions if they were on the whitelist, even when root was disabled via the settings and they didn't actually have root. i plan on launching the developer's settings intent as well, if you get denied superuser permissions because the setting is disabled. this way you can easily re-enable it. but that isn't in build 3.

i should note that this way doesn't seem to give you access to google play movies. i like to think of it as a selective root, rather than completely removing root altogether. but, the main purpose of this is security, not to enable google play movies. i've been leaving mine on "Disabled", and i really don't find that i have to re-enable root very often.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] javroch:
posted build 3..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foxdog66:
This sounds really awesome! Does the voip work and could you include an option to allow led with screen on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] javroch:
I haven't used it as I don't have a VoIP account, but the options are there and should be enabled/working fine. I'm not sure what you mean by "allow led with screen on" to be honest.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foxdog66:
Normally the led will only blink if the screen is off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] javroch:
Got it, to be honest I'm sort of reluctant at this point to implement too many tweaks into Clean AOSP. I kind of want it to be as barebones as possible. But, as I am considering a few others, I might look into this one as well, either as part of Clean AOSP or as part of some Clean AOSP+ version with extra modifications that I might put out separately.

Either way, if you do give it a shot, let me know your findings related to VoIP. I have no reason to think it shouldn't work, but I haven't tried it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BarberAE:
Thanks for this!

What kernel are you using for this build? I assume the stock google one.

Including status bar toggles and soft key options would be the only mods I would look from the clean build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] javroch:
I'm just using the stock Google one. Haven't changed anything there. Haven't really played around with kernel development.

Those are likely mods I'd include in some sort of Clean AOSP+ version as well. Along with reboot options, though those I might actually shoehorn into regular Clean AOSP as well. Either way, I will be looking to getting in some of these mods in either Clean AOSP or some other AOSP+ version when time permits.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] javroch:
I wanted to wait and get more features in, but I might be busy for the next week or so. So, here's build 4. The only change is that root is "Disabled" by default
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] javroch:
I just saw that the AOSP 4.0.4 Source Code is being pushed out today. I'm gonna see if I can't get a build out in the next couple of days, probably just with the features I've implemented for 4.0.3

I have czech language keyboard layout with 4 rows (1 row is with special characters instead of numbers) so will a bluetooth keyboard work according to chosen SW keyboard layout or is it already set as any bluetooth keyboard is?

Thanks

Answer:

so....have just bought usb host and wireless Logitech MK710 CZ (keyb.+mouse 3 years battery life) works perfect with czech special letters!

So it probably depends on the keyboard. So dont need to invest in a new keyboard :)

So Android has no competitors ....again :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] reveger:
bump...im also interested in this
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] VortX:
I have tried it with a USB keyboard but I guess it will be the same on the Bluetooth one. It depends what layout is selected on the Tab - if it is Czech then you will write with this layout. This however works only using Samsung's keyboard or Go Keyboard. When I have selected Swype - the typing is with US layout, no matter which layout was chosen.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] maysider:
Please, could you try Hackers keyboard and set czech language??

Thank you!

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] VortX:
Doesn't work, sorry. The top row of the keyboard is typing numbers instead of accented characters.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] reveger:
So,

is there any way to type these characters? Perhaps changing smthin' in the system?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] maysider:
I'm afraid that a keyboard itself must be built for an appropriate language :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] VortX:
No, this is software issue. Is there a Czech layout for Go Keyboard?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] maysider:
Unfortunately it doesn't have :(

So is it an android software issue or a keyboard software issue?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] VortX:
It is an issue with the layout, which is in the tablet. I would try searching for a keyboard for the tablet where you can make your layout - map keys to characters. This way you can customize your keyboard as you wish.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] maysider:
so....have just bought usb host and wireless Logitech MK710 CZ (keyb.+mouse) works perfect!

So it probably depends on the keyboard as it should be!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
Alright, you're gonna be mad about the topic but I'm being honest here.

I never had a nexus phone and I was hoping that if I got a Galaxy Nexus, the phone wouldn't stutter (in browser and in apps) and it does. On websites the stuttering when scrolling is annoying. The phone is fast (home screen, app drawer, settings) but a lot of apps are jittery and not fluid.

I'm running AOKP Milestone 4 with Lean Kernel v2.4.

So my question is, is it possible to get the Galaxy Nexus to be as smooth as an iPhone? Some reasons would be good because there's no doubting the 4s is very fluid with rare if any hiccups.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ezcats:
what apps...all mine are as smooth as the iphone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragnarokx:
AOKP is the king of extra features, but if you want smooth you should try Peter Alfonso's Bugless Beast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jamor414:
The selling point if the iphone 4s is Suri.

My buddy tried to show it off and it didn't work at all.

He was really embarrassed.. It screwed up everything.

I showed him my nexus, and then I proceeded to pull 15 down 13 up in a speed test.

Boy was he jealous of my Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RobbieCrash:
If all you care about is smooth scrolling, use the stock firmware. It's smoother than most ROMs, but lacks many features in the custom ROMs.

Don't forget, you're running a beta version of community created code. We don't have as much access to the hardware as the original designers, and can't optimize things as easily.

Whinging about it not being as smooth as an iPhone when you're running user created firmware is like complaining that the shelves you built yourself aren't as nice as the ones that your friend paid a professional carpenter to create.

AOKP runs great for most people, myself included, but there are tradeoffs for the extra features.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doublea500:
also, one more thing you gotta take into consideration is that aokp is more for customization. you want more of a rom that works only on stability. i havnt tried m4, but i do know that bamf is amazingly smooth. and alsooo when was the last time you saw the 4s? sure you can slide smoothly but doesnt it matter much more how quick you can load the page? try a diff browser also... mines working perfectly on google chrome and stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragnarokx:
That's a poor analogy. The ROM devs are not building these ROMs from scratch, they are making relatively small changes to the code provided by Google. A better analogy would be assembling an office desk from IKEA (store that sells put-it-together-yourself furniture for you non-U.S. folk) vs having a carpenter friend put it together. Sure your friend might drill a hold here or there to make the fit better, but he isn't carving the shelf out of lumber.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Do iPhone users just get Android phones and swipe and down all day to see how fluid it moves. You guys know there is much more to the phone then just scrolling pages up and down, right?

You also realize the device is pushing a higher resolution then an iPhone as well so a lot more pixels are in play.

Seriously, even if the GN scrolled smoother then it already does, I don't think I would really give a sh.t......It would not change my experience in the least.

and of course don't forget about the fact that Android handles the UI in a different way compared to iOS (the UI isn't prioritised or something along those lines).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saintfyre:
I'm not that technical but doesn't it also have something to do with Android supporting multi-tasking where as iOS closes apps and processes immediately upon exiting?

i.e. I can open up a webpage in Chrome on my GNex, switch over to the facebook app, come back to Chrome and the webpage is loaded

Where as iOS, I guess if I were to switch then Chrome would close, and i'd have to reload the webpage.

I've never used iOS so I wouldn't know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NIK516:
Quick and easy answer no it won't and that's an answer from experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
Dang it...well that really sucks. The phone is amazing but the choppiness is annoying...I'll swipe down a page in the browser and there's a delay before it moves...smoothness would make this phone nearly perfect.
