You can use Botbrew. It has jamvm working pretty well in Anise.

It has the JRE and JDK in the Basil dpkg version, but I haven't played with that yet. But with jamvm you can write your code with something like droidedit or use the terminal.

I have used AIDE, but it seems to be made for a very specific thing. I am just more comfortable working out of a terminal. Maybe the more familar with IDEs would feel otherwise.

I recently changed from CM9 to Fallout 2.0. I like having the Sense UI back :D

What annoys me is that the contact pictures in this Sense-ROM look really crappy. Using CM9 I had hi-res pictures everywhere. It looked especially great when accessing a contact or getting a call.

But now on Sense 4 it looks very pixelated.

FYI: The pictures are synced from my google contacts.

Is there a possibility to improve the quality of the contact pictures?
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
i find that stock cam(endymion) has a much better quality than cm7 which i had previously.
[HTC Desire S] !M4G3:
Did you try to reassign your photos again to the contacts? I did that and it works when I change roms instead of using Google's back up assistance contact photos because I had that same issue.

[HTC Desire S] voodoo13:
Reassigning the picture on the phone did help. But I already assigned the hi-res pictures via gmail. This gets tedious if I have to reset each picture on the phone. Unfortunately this seems to be the only option.

Well, installing applications for additional functions is not what I was looking for.

I really was hoping for a setting I did not see. Because the contacts look great as they are without any tweaks on the phone when using CM9.

I'll try Ultimate HD Contacts and give a feedback

[Update]

Ultimate Contacts HD crashes when I tap a contact...

HI Guys,

I am not new to Android but i have a doubt with ICS. I have recently upgraded my phone from GB to ICS and now its rooted , Now my questions is can i use any roam by just flashing from the Clockwork recovery without worrying about the Kernal being used by the previous roam because i think when you are flashing a new roam you put new kernal as well. I use to own a ZTE blade but i was not worried when experimenting with that as the phone was not that costly but now SGS2 is kind of expensive and i dont want to end up in a soup.

Please let me know if there is already a thread like this because i could not find one

You don't need to put a new kernel.

There have been a few tutorials from Adam Outler on the XDA TV
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adecker:
Well for starters, if you have no programming background you will need to learn to program in the Java Language. Then once you master that, you will have to read up on the android developers website about different topics. Then get familiar with the SDK and API and start building your app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not development forums.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelOrnsholt:
Hi

I would say the best place to start is at 'developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html'

They have a step-by-step guide how to install the things needed to get started...

Another good tutorial site for me is vogella.com
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomaxda:
I would be careful about starting in right away with the app you want to build.

Your idea might be rather complicated, and I think it is important to start with something really simple.

Learning to do Android from scratch is rather a lot of work - don't under-estimate it and expect to make your idea happen very quickly.

I'm not trying to discourage you - just to make sure your expectations are realistic so you have a good experience.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackjack0617:
Do you mean creating a new folder within your email to save emails there? or saving emails to a folder outside of the email app such as your SD for offline viewing?
[Android Apps and Games] dynamite1985:
Howdy all!

I am putting the finishing touches on an Alpha delete utility and need 5 testers.

This app is for Mac users who transfer lots of files to and from the SD cards, and get the SD card filled up with hidden files. As of right now, it only has the one feature, but I want to add to that.

What I need from my testers:

Must be using a Mac computer

Provide bug list

Provide a Logcat (If required)

If you have an idea, feel free to pass it along

As of right now, the app requires there to be an internal and external SD card (Samsung Galaxy S, SGSII, Galaxy Tab[Original], etc) or the app will crash. I am hoping to have that fixed by either today or tomorrow.

If you would like to be a tester, feel free to inbox me, or post on here.
[HTC One X] UnixxinU:
How do I fix this? I've checked the lost.dir folder and it is empty. I am not using a rooted device if it matters.
[HTC One X] ShyamSasi:
Backup the files and format the disk then copy everything back.
[HTC One X] dansharpy:
As above. Its fixed in the latest 1.29.401.11 so either root and flash a rom on that base or have to suck it up until you get OTA im afraid!
[HTC One X] H88RRY:
not the most helpful answers are they lol :p

I've got the same issue, when i use disk usage app it shows 12GB+ of "system files" that's ridiculous but im now formatting my sd so will report back if it works or not.

As for rooting. Im not to keen on rooting just yet as the phone is still new and covered by warranty
[HTC One X] phil112345:
they are... they're the ones that fix the problem

you don't need to root to flash an RUU as long as you use the correct one depending on location/carrier

Copy files from SD card to your computer, Format the SD card in FAT32, copy items back onto SD card and done.

You shouldn't have to worry about it happening again.

No problems so far, running very smooth.

I was reading about the supercharger script but im not sure if its necessary and IF, if i have to change the services.jar file?

In LeeDroids thread it was said that his Rom is supercharger compatable, does this mean i dont have to change the service.jar file for ics? Has he done that already?

Thx for your help. :)

Would love to hear from those that have been using the Viper Custom Rom on their experience so far.

Hows it working?

Stable?

Camera, wi-fi, data, sms? Everything working, and if not, what not.

Battery Life?

Resets and multitasking

Using a launcher with it, if so what?

Other tweeks we should know about.

There is a thread on Viper of course in the Dev section, but most of that is technical as it should be, looking here for more like an average user who can figure out how to flash a rom review.

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] logie:
Hows it working? Overall quite well. Battery life seems better than the other ROMs I've tried (Fresh and Pokemon one)

Stable? Extremely.

Camera, wi-fi, data, sms? All working, still having issues randomly with wifi but I think that patch was released last night.

Battery Life? Touched on above, but around 14-17 hours depending on usage.

Resets and multitasking No resets at all when I was getting 3 or so a day with Fresh (and I love Fresh so not hating). Multitasking.... is an issue but that seems to be sense 4 in general. Its just slow.

Using a launcher with it, if so what? Just Sense at this time.

Basically Viper + the mods you want = sexy!

But I will admit I loved the tweaks from the pokemon rom
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] WiFi_N:
Its pretty much the same thing as the stock ROM. But the battery's life better and it has a couple mods implemented. Everything runs just as stable as the stock ROM. Multitasking is still nonexistent. viperROM still lags, but it lags less then the stock ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
Hows it working?

Great - haven't had any issues at all.

Stable?

Very much so.

Camera, wi-fi, data, sms? Everything working, and if not, what not.

Everything is working.

Battery Life?

When I plug it in for the night, I generally have over 50% left, and thats after 13+ hours unplugged, 2-4 hours screen on time, an hour or so of spotify streaming, screen set to auto-brightness (with vin's fixes so they're a bit brighter than stock viper), push everything, and the only thing I turn off is bluetooth (because I don't use it). all on crappy signal except for maybe 2 hours of wi-fi.

Resets and multitasking

Never had a reset. Multitasking works great for me (although I rarely actually use it). But recently I paused temple run, made a call, read a book on aldiko for a while, sent a few emails, and the game was waiting for me when I got back. I get the occational screen refresh in the browser when I go back to that, but that rarely happens. I don't seem to be running into some of the issues that I've seen other people post

Using a launcher with it, if so what?

Sense - I tried other launchers, but I haven't seen any stuttering or lag with sense, and I actually like how its set up. Doesn't have landscape rosie, but you can't have everything.

Other tweeks we should know about.

I also flashed Vin's Honeycomb battery mod; Socrguru's combo zip that includes both Vin's updated APM mod (with the higher auto-brightness levels than stock viper) and RunAndHide's button mods (that remap recent to menu, and longpress home to recent); smw6180's linkify zip, and Photo Unlocker to fix facebook pics in 3rd party apps. Those are the only mods outside of stock Viper that I was really looking for.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dpaschall:
Ya works for those who have tested this? Need a good starting point
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
Generally people undervolt -50 or -75 mV from the stock values. Some go -100 mV but that could get you bootlooped. Make sure that your phone is stable after undervolting before setting it on startup. As for OC, I'd say max should be like 1500 Mhz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Tegrak has a great feature. No matter what your settings are when you reboot you have to apply the settings after the phone boots. So if you make a change that locks up the phone you can reboot and undo it by hitting cancel at the tegrak screen. When I undervolt I normally go -50mv on each step including GPU. This seems to work the best for me on ICS ROMs. On GB I could go to -75mv and even -100mv on some steps. But -50mv seems to give you a little more battery life and still good performance. Just my input.

If you're rooted, try out CifsManager.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floyd0815:
I'm using this init.d script to do that. (needs rooted kernel with init.d support)

First you have to make a folder (called "external_SdCard" in this script) on the internal sdcard where the external card gets bound to. ("/sdcard/external_SdCard") Then flash this zip (copies the script to /etc/init.d/99bind-sdcard) or make a init.d script with the following code:

#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 20
mount -o bind /mnt/extSdCard /sdcard/external_SdCard

NOTICE: It needs a few seconds till the internal sdcard is mounted and only after this the external can be bound to the folder on it.

If it doesn't work:

folder name doesn't match script

no init.d support

sleep value too little (try 30 or 40)

PS: Taken/inspired from this site since mine hasn't worked. (I haven't thought of the "sleep" command till the internal...)

EDIT: Problem are the duplicated entries in music player, gallery,... :(

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Optikmike:
Burst shot broken after mounting extSdCard DCIM folder in sdcard

I'm accomplishing the same thing as DirectoryBind by using SManager with a little script I put together that looks like this:

#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o bind /mnt/extSdCard/Android /mnt/sdcard/Android
mount -o bind /mnt/extSdCard/DCIM /mnt/sdcard/DCIM
mount -o bind /mnt/extSdCard/Download /mnt/sdcard/Download
mount -o bind /mnt/extSdCard/Movies /mnt/sdcard/Movies
mount -o bind /mnt/extSdCard/Music /mnt/sdcard/Music

Anyway, after doing this I had the same problem with the duplicate gallery entries so I created a .nomedia file in /mnt/extSdCard then cleared the app data for Gallery and MediaStorage, rebooted and no more duplicate entries.

Now, the only problem I have left is that Burst Mode doesn't work on the camera. I setup the camera to save to the external SD card and the camera app shows an SD icon on the top-right corner in all shooting modes except Burst, there it changes to an internal memory icon. I can't find any way around this, and trying to shoot in burst mode doesn't work - it sounds like it's shooting pics but the counter doesn't go up and no pics are saved. I assume Burst mode has some special way of accessing the internal DCIM folder that isn't working with the DCIM mount I setup. All other shooting modes work, though, so it's not a deal breaker. I'm just OCD about little nagging problems :cyclops:

Has anybody else run into this or found a workaround?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
The camera is probably storing the data in the real internal storage (/data/media) folder instead the virtual storage location /mnt/sdcard

You could fix it by bind-mounting /data/media/DCIM to /mnt/extSdcard/DCIM

However there is a reason for burst-mode not working with the SD-card: they usually are far too slow for sustained writing at that speed.

Some high-class cards may have sufficient write-speed capacity but Samsung prefers blocking to guessing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Optikmike:
Thanks for clarifying, I knew it had to be accessing it another way! Good call on the SD card performance. I wouldn't even attempt it on my old microsd card but I just got a new sandisk microsdxc class 10 UHS-1 card and I've been really impressed with the performance so far, so I may give it a try :fingers-crossed:
