I am a plumber, and I often use isometric paper to draw out piping systems to illustrate my scope of work. My idea (I've looked in the play store) is to have a drawing surface with zoomable isometric dots that can be snapped to to make ISO drawings. I also want to be able to tap on a line and either add a dimension or specify how long that line should be. And of course save drawings to PDF. How hard would a project like this be? I gave alot of friends who would be very interested
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alansupra94:
I just installed CM9 on my Boost Mobile Epic 4g and everything works fantastic besides the crap battery life and Gmail issues.

For some reason, Gmail only checks for new messages when I click on it. Is there a setting I am missing? I downloaded this Gmail from the play market btw.

Was this included in Gapps? I can't remember for the life of me if I installed Gapps or not.

Thanks,

Alan

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bbop:
The bane of ICS for me and my OCD is the terrible mixture of froyo and gingerbread style sony apps with the new ICS theme. I'm sure it goes against the conventions set in google's guidelines on how to make apps for ICS and its slowly but sure driving me me me much more insane.

I would be grateful on a discussion of what can be done to remedy this dreadful plight... I have gathered a couple of ideas but I am looking for more!

1. The music player has ghastly bubbles in its corners and does not fit with ICS theme.

in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1716549

Lasanda links to a thread with an APK that updates the default player to a walkman version ripped by doomlord which can be found in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1676013

also I would suggest trying out vanilla music player, it's open source and works with the new lockscreen as well as having widgets that work in other launchers. I can't get the album artwork to work on my mini though (while it works no problem on an android mediaplayer I also have) so would appreciate if anyone else has any input.

2. The home screen's capped framerate now looks laggy since the ICS ui has significantly improved graphical performance from extra use of the GPU. The color scheme and style of the bubbles is also out of phase with the new ICS theme. They shoulda just changed the bubbles for futurisitic triangles or something.

- the best I've managed so far is replacing with zeam

3. call screen : bubbles/

-no idea, if anyone has any clue what to do here if and how to replace the call screen I would be happy and give you my thanks.

Apart from lack of encryption and this poor theme, ICS is good for me. Please share any more tips to improve it further though

thanks

[Android General] #sharath:
Captain Obvious, OP already knows that.

He was just telling his idea,so somebody can build it.
[Android General] JVogler:
I understand perfectly. Thanks for the rude comments though. A lot can happen in more than a year since this thread was created.. I was simply stating that while there are now some isometric drawing apps for Android available...still none for creating plumbing line drawings easily. I just spent about 5 hours trying them all. Had I found a good option, I'm sure he would have been interested in knowing. So just letting him know there still isn't any good option. From talking with developers, there will be an app out in about 6 weeks that does this, and I will post it here in case the OP is still interested.

[Android General] JVogler:
So 'Infinite Design' has released its update with an isometric grid. You can draw your piping isometric drawings very quickly. I've already completed two from this app that have been submitted for city approval and they looked very professional.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helikido:
I'm currently running the devil kernel on my phone, using the new devil app to control settings but I really don't know a couple settings though. First what I'd zram and is it better than swap? And what's the best value to set the zram at? I have it on 150mb. :p

Also what's better zram or swap? :confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krackerjac:
Dude look @ the op
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helikido:
No info about what it is in the op U_U
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenoism:
well, based on my reading...(Basically meaning take this with a grain of salt because I may not perfectly re-present the information, but this is how I've come to understand it lol :P)

zram basically compresses unused apps within the system RAM. This allows the system to swap less needed processes to the zram partition for faster access at a later time, instead of killing them. This does take up some of your ram though, so I imagine that the value you are setting is determining exactly what percentage of your ram that the zram partition is allotted.

Swap instead uses a small portion of the SDcard like RAM. The phone will attempt to keep as much within the ram as possible until fill, and then begin using the swap partition on the SDcard. At that point, the phone will begin moving inactive blocks of memory to the SD, freeing up RAM for active processes. If one of the pages on the SD needs to be accessed again, it will be moved back into RAM, and a different inactive page in RAM will be moved onto the SD ('swapped').

Swap files don't restrict available RAM but writing to the sdcard impacts the speed of opening apps.

Now, which is better? No idea ^^ Lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helikido:
Holly crap I'm enabling swap lol. Do I need to repartition my SD card for swap?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECOTOX:
I wouldn't enable swap, you don't need it, zram us nifty but also not need. Your system can handle memory just fine without you. Just let it to its thing and you will be fine.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
I agree completely. My former device had a hack that we came up with that would force app2sd on a 2.1 build. This was great at the time but it cause some serious lag. We then enabled the swap to help with the memory issues. It worked for awhile but then all these apps started to come out that were, not to sound funny, memory hogs. This device only had 128mb of user RAM, so it was a constant struggle to get it working. Gotta remember that this was pre-GB times, so Froyo was the ICS of that time.

Here is more to read from this devices section about how swap works. The thread was revived on Post #9 and my explaination is Post#16.

Moral of the story is that I agree with Eco, let the phone work for you and not you against it. There are few memory issues with the Vibrant. Is it running 2gb of RAM? No but do you really need something like that on a phone?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECOTOX:
Exactly, Android is designed for low Memory systems. It can handle out of Memory situations on its own, and will kill unneeded apps as is necessary to free ram for running apps. Don't worry about how much "free" ram you have because it doesn't matter. You want more free ram learn to set the ram usage settings to be more aggressive at killing idle apps. It'll and up using more battery, but if free ram is what you want then that's how to do it.

Good old g1 and mytouch days :D

No signature for you!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romitkin:
Actually, yes. There are certain apps, like Facebook, Whatsapp, Skype and probably more, that have their background services running even if you close the app. Those services are for sending notification, but they are slowing down this device very much (Even if only the Facebook service is running). So I do feel the device does not handle memory so good. And I can't blame it, since it has a limited memory, but I do wish I had more RAM.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dougfresh:
Don't enable zram or swap unless you have the EU bug or like your shizz lag like a mo'fo'. If your phone is playing nicely, then disable both. Allow Purging of Assets also.Set it to two processes in Dev Section.

The people with 1.85 stock OR scrolser's clean rom should have this bug. After about 2-4 min after locking screen, when connected to wifi, try sending yourself an email or a gtalk message from the computer. You should have NOTHING.. that is until you click on the screen. As soon as you click on the screen the mail or gtalk message will come in. When on mobile data, it is generally delayed about 1-15 minutes. Why is nobody else so annoyed of this? My ipad gets notifications from email, facebook, gtalk INSTANTLY doesn't skip a beat even if I havent touched the damn thing for a week.

I've tried other keyboards and the problem doesn't happen on the stock one as much cause the space bars a little higher on it cause of the arrows but I'm wondering if it can be a digitizor issue or if u guys get the problem too .. sometimes my application button on the home screen won't push either but my lock screen ring always works so I'm pretty confused lol

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] iluvmyandroid:
First of all, I would like to say thanks to all the developers for all their hard work to make our mini phones better and better everyday. At present, I am using my x10 mini pro with minicm9-3.0.2 installed and in working condition.

I do notice some problems related to battery drain and other issues concerning usb tethering with windows PC as already discussed in older posts. And I believe that these issues would be resolved in future versions of minicm9.

However, the most dreadful thing for me while using my x10 MP is the inability to install my favourite apps due to shortage of internal memory. I didn't have the same problem when I was running minicm7 as I used link2sd app to link all apps to sdcard.

But now, from the time I've installed the latest ics rom, my most favoured app 'link2sd' seems 'out of order'. I don't think there''s any problem with the app, but, I'm frequently notified about low internal storage even after creating links to sd card. I had over 120 apps installed and linked to sdcard '2nd partition' earlier with minicm7 whereas now I have only managed to install about 20 apps. There's another thing that I've noticed. The apps that's been linked to sd crashes on its own and this problem is resolved as soon as the link is removed.

So, somebody please help me out of this situation.. (APP2SD is not the answer I'm looking for)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] c3poyoda:
app2sd is the first thing you should do. because the difference between link2sd and app2sd is only the dex files. that means, even with all the dex files, you can install up at least 50 apps using original Android app2sd.

I believe the cm9 has not solved this problem yet. I have also read all the post online and in the developers form. no one talked about this bug.

The apps linked by link2sd will be automatically move back to internal memory while starting system (before asking PIN). it says:

Android is upgrading...

Why does this media server process eat up my battery for no reason? Has anyone looked in to it or is it gonna keep killing our battery?
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
u have music running
[HTC One X] cccy:
I have the same problem. I do not have any music in my phone, nor do I listen to online streams as I have a separate music device. The media server process has been eating my battery even though I have never opened any music apps on this HOX ever since I have bought the phone.
[HTC One X] crazy88:
I have used the media server a few times, but since last using it have rebooted my phone several times and it still runs. When I play music it is not selected to play over a network device, so media server shouldn't really be doing anything.

However, as above, I have significant media server usage. I have attached a screenshot. I agree it is probably music player related (for me), but no idea why though as I have not been streaming.

On a side note I have also found that the xda app uses a lot of battery. I've only used it for a few minutes today and it's used that much! :( I might go back to using chrome to browse the forums.

Mediaserver runs when any form of media is opened.

[HTC One X] Cavey.co.uk:
Heya,

Been having a similar problem. Can wake up at 0630 and unplug my phone, by 0715 it's down to 85% battery and toasty warm, and I am NOT running music, image or video files.

I can even reboot the phone and not do anything impressive (run dropsync, use it as a USB hard drive) and it will start cooking and working through the battery.

I wiped the system, re-installed the apps and loaded on my work files (mainly txt, doc, ppt, pptx, webm files from Dropbox). First day (Sunday), seemed to be fine. Next day at work, used it as an external drive and back to toasty warm. Am thinking Mediaserver is triggered when it does the whole USB mount thing (makes sense) and from other threads it is inferred that corrupt files can be a problem.... I don't have any flv or m4a files (which were the acknowledged culprits), so am removing the webm files and seeing if it corrects things.

Aa side note, I popped into Carphone Warehouse (to get a case) and the chap at the till mentioned they had returned their One X's for some refresh or something.... but it's CPW and I don't know how competent they are.

If I knew more about debugging the problem, I would. At the moment I can just see my battery going to 40% in a few hours with MediaServer and Media eating 90% of between them.... can't see anything relevant in logcat, but I might be looking for the wrong thing.

Any thoughts on where to look are always gratefully received.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atan.ismail:
I usually have my SGS3 recharged overnight.

Twice, despite being plugged in overnight, the phone did not charge at all. In fact, it drained from about 60% to 40%.

I noticed that during both times, I received incoming Gmail, and since I was asleep, did not read the incoming Gmails. The LED flashed blue (my colour for incoming Gmail).

During the first time, I was using stock TouchWiz, and second time, Nova Launcher Pro.

I doubt that it has anything to do with the launcher used.

Anyone has similar experiences? I am worried that if my SGS3 cannot charge, I may end up with a smartbrick instead of a smartphone for the day as I do not have access to charger during the day.

Hi, I have a conceptional name of Arc ICS custom Rom "UltimateXtreme" that it will be UltimateSS successor. Upcoming ROM will include some apps from Xperia S ICS update and It will available on Late June/ First July soon. But, I'm testing on alpha version on this mod therefore I'm working on beta version. If beta version work. It will release on ROM version.

And also, this is my predicted ROM status :

- build number still 9.1.A.0.768 ( followed from GB to ICS )

- Working on stock kernel or something.

- bloatware removed

- Vendor apps ( but I don't know how to nod vendor apps and do permission ) and

- no bugs
