[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] punkaled:
The built in smart tags app is great, but its lacking a lot of the more powerful features of Tasker (which is already used by many), however tasker doesn't include support for nfc tags (yet?).

So I put together a little app which allows you to combine the two, smarttags app allows you to open a url when it senses a tag so this app allows you to use urls in the format tasker://<taskname> to call your tasker tasks (where <taskname> is the name of your task defined in the tasker settings).

This also allows you to use writeable tags written with the tasker:// url to launch tasker actions directly.

If anyone wants to try it out its available here-

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aledthomas.taskerurllauncher

note: task names are CASE SENSITIVE, and (obviously) you must have tasker installed before installing this app or it wont work :)

Hopefully tasker will have nfc support someday but until then this works.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] m.klinge:
What a great idea :-)

There's also an app called nfc retag which can call tasker tasks, the app works worth read only tags as well ( basically it just remembers the unique id of the tag react on that).

Now the downside of nfc retag is that the sony app associates itself with the smart tags and therefore launches a dialogue box and asks which app to use... With your app one could simply just use the build in app when using rewritable tags :-)

Hi there.

I want to buy a new phone and i wonder which one of this? - Sony Xperia S or Samsung Galaxy S 2.

According to this - http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_s_vs_samsung_galaxy_s_ii-review-734.php both phones are awesome and i really wonder which one to buy?

What would you say about that?

10x for your help in advance :)
[Android General] Deleted member 4331532:
I'd say - buy Galaxy. It's superior to the Xperia S with SuperAMOLED+ and removable battery (yes, you can't remove Xperia S' battery).
[Android General] Felimenta97:
I don't like AMOLED. From the few I used, I liked Arc screen more than SII one. Both hardware are quite the same, but Xperia S wins in a few things, such as design, better camera (not much, but for me it wins), and ICS coming (not so soon, but Timescape UI looks way better than TouchWiz UI).

Well, I would go on XS, but in the final is up to you.
[Android General] sceep:
wtf? well waht about when the phone freeze? Eventually this will happens sometimes.

And what's the situation with the micro-sim? In my country we normaly use standart sim card...my present sim card is also standart size.

sorry for the noob questions :o
[Android General] Felimenta97:
When phone freeze, there is a key combo (Power button + vol down, if I remember right). And for the Micro SIM, if your carries sells iPhones, just go there and ask to they to exchange your SIM for one just like the iPhone ones.
[Android General] Deleted member 4331532:
AMOLED is better in power consumption, design is of personal preference, camera is better, but - you answered this one already - not by much, and ICS is already out officially for GS2. ;)

besides - screw TouchWiz and screw Timescape too, that's what third party launchers are made for. :D
[Android General] Punkid:
AMOLED only has better power consumption when its displaying mostly black stuff,because the individual pixels are turned off...on a white screen, it consumes alot more power than a normal LCD....i really really LOVE the black levels and contrast on the S2, but anything and everything you view on it will look FAKE. The color reproduction is much more accurate on the xperia whereas s2 is very over saturated...its up to u to pick which one to go for, but i'd take the xperia over the s2 :P but some say im a Sony fanboy :P
[Android General] dahevos:
I've the SGS2 and even if the color was a bit... strange, the fluidity is awesome.
[Android General] optimustrip:
In my opinion, go for Xperia S because S2 is older.
[Android General] theknightrider:

According to the rumors, Galaxy S3 is going to be announced sometime in May. That phone like its predecessor, will blow everything available right now out of water...:D

Uninstall Almost Any System App

Have you ever wanted to remove a system app?

To remove a system app you need to have:

1.Rooted Phone

2.Root Explorer(ex.ES File Explorer)

3.Custom Recovery(or ability to reset dalvik and cache)

4.Apps to Remove!

Let´s get started!

0.Make a backup of your phone just in case.

1. Remove the App´s data.Go to Settings/Apps/All/ and select the app.Then Clear Data and Cache.

2.Navigate with root explorer to /System/App/

3.Select the app that you want to delete and delete it!

4.Then Clear Dalvik and Cache(This will remove the app from the apps list)

5.And Voila! You removed a system app!

just make sure you watch those apps in RED

those are the apps which are in the root, if im not mistaken (/system/app)
[HTC EVO 3D] rahditzz:
Correct, but some of them can be deleted.. :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] dimebagdan65:

[HTC EVO 3D] hellianowned:
Both Titanium Backup & Root Uninstaller are capable of this and those need only one step to uninstall system apps.:cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] fr0st420:
Titanium backup can freeze system apps too. Freezing will temp remove apps. You can always unfreeze the app if you run into problems.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainMaki:
I've searched and read on other sections. but I can't find a solution to this.

I've also done the specific instructions, and still got problems with moving dalvik to sd-ext. Every time I try it even with the ext3 or trying to mount as ext4 I get the HTC screen stuck on boot and can't pass that.

I can move applications but not dalvik and I need the space, as my data folder was almost completly full after a month of use in the device.

Any suggestions?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
What ROM and apps2ext method are you using?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainMaki:
cyanogen 7.1.0 and S2E latest version.

I'm using an ext3 partition. I've wiped phone, formatted sd card with fat32, ext3 and linux swap. and if I move only apps everything works fine. if I move apps + dalvik the phone stuck on the HTC white screen.

Also is there a recovery for Aria that supports ext4?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
I dunno what's causing that. I'd probably try doing a 100% clean install to see if it fixes it. (In particular, wipe data/factory reset and format system and boot partitions before installing CM7 and Gapps again.)

I don't know, but there's very little benefit to using ext4 over ext3 for this particular purpose anyway. Also mounting ext3 as ext4 is equivalent in performance to ext4, if you really care about that.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainMaki:
how do you format boot and system partitions? I've re installed rom and s2e again. I will try to move dalvik later today after I'll have time to backup. for now the apps moved and works fine and the option to move dalvik is available.

when I mount ext3 as ext4 the recovery shows no sd-ext available. I think it's also mark the sd-ext as ext4 again, even without any action on it, which makes the sd-ext unusable when the phone boots up. it also not allows to backup the partition.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
In CWM recovery, select "mounts and storage". The options to format the boot and system partitions will be there.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Yeah, honestly, just use ext3. No one would actually notice a difference in performance between ext3 and ext4 for this particular purpose, and it's a lot more convenient to be able to make backups of the ext partition without any issues.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainMaki:
thx for all the help. I really don't know what is happening.

I've wiped boot + system, did factory wipe, wiped cache, installed CM 7.1.0 + Gapps, didn't even insreted sim card, installed only S2E and when i select Apps + Dalvik the phone is stuck on the HTC white screen.

Really frustrated with this.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Can you confirm that the ext partition is formatted as a primary partition (not logical)? Have you tried a different SD card? Beyond that I'm not sure what is going on.

The first boot after enabling "dalvik cache" should take a while, but it shouldn't be at the HTC white screen, it should be at the CM boot screen.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainMaki:
I've formatted and re formatted the card, I will try another one.

Even if it's the card, how the apps are moving fine and the dalvik doesn't.

I've tried another thing: I've partitioned the card through ROM Manager, and it created a 512MB partition. I then moved the dalvik cache to the SD-ext and it worked. then I've used gparted to resize the partition to 1024MB. it also worked. I suspect that something in the formatting process wasnt right although I've always kept on creating primary partitions.

No Luck For Me

I believe it may just be a hardware issue I am having. But maybe someone can point me out to something helpful.

I put the card in, it is not recognized, by either the phone, or by CWM

With the phone on, and in 'Settings' -> 'SD & Phone Storage', the card does not appear. I slowly pull the card out, and 'Mount SD' & 'Erase SD Card' both go from unavailable (greyed out), to full on available and White for a split second. After that nothing...

It does this with 3 different cards. an 8G Class 4, a 2G Class 10, and a 2G Class 4

I've contacted HTC about it, but who knows when they'll get back to me. Anyone here know of a solution?
[HTC Wildfire S] junxracr:
Try formatting the sdcard or reset phone.
[HTC Wildfire S] kpirnie:
Been there... done that

Sorry. Tried that too. Multiple times

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

It's as if the contacts inside the phone are screwed up. Like I said, when I pull the card out of the phone, while in the settings, it recognizes it on the way out for a split second.

I've been trying for the last half-hour to try to get it right to that point where it flashes the 'mount' to white... but I must just have goofy thumbs, because I can't quite get it...

Hey :)

Basically, I have the Alarm Clock Xtreme app downloaded for my Xperia Mini Pro and it works great, wakes me up all the time. But I've noticed that my battery is being drained around 20% a night due to this app. The reason I know it's this app is because I am using an 'Alarm Mode' which stops Wi-Fi, 3G and GPS etc and dims brightness so nothing else is on.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is it just the app? Is there any other app that can do the same job as Alarm Clock Extreme but with much less battery drainage?

I will test with Cyanogen RC1 and tell if it worked well, I'll use PoweAmp pro.

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

Fortunately, to my surprise and joy, it worked perfectly.

I installed as follows:

1) I formatted the SD card and did a hard reset;

2) I installed RC1 Cyanogem GAPPS-gb-20110828-signed signed_BeatsAudio xLOUD;

3) rebooted the system;

4) I installed pro PowerAmp; 5) The PowerAMp not work, ****!

Point Positive: works with RC1 Cyanogem and Music.

Minus point: Does not work with PowerAmp! and we loose DSP manager.

Even without the PowerAmp the sound quality has improved greatly, and is noticeable in the bass and treble. If you Goggle for Music is enough, use it! It's worth!

Final Thoughts: If you are not a DJ who knows exactly how to create an equalizer optimized for your headset and style of music you are listening to use the "BeatsAudio xLOUD" because despite losing interesting management tools and the best music player the market gain in sound quality.
