[Nexus 7 General] Dradien:
Lol, what?

No, cameras are going to keep the form factor they have now. The closing you're going to get is a Mirrorless system like a Sony Nex, which are nice and flatish and you can stick lenses on now.

Also, if you're enterprising enough, you can stick a Eye-fi in a DSLR, and have the cameras sent your tablet to edit, but why bother? You're not going to get any decent editing software like Lightroom or a full blown photoshop on a tablet.

Just...no.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
I disagree with you. Give it time and the Android version of photoshop will be just as powerful as the Windows and Mac version. And Tablet being release now a certainly powerful enough for high end photo editing. they just need to be optimized the tablet with more storage and ram and of course High end optics.

I'm talk about a specialized device here that would probable cost a few thousand dollars. Not some Consumer tablet. But yeah I think the format of the classic camera is a thing of the past.
[Nexus 7 General] Hal_The_Hacker:
Photoshop isready available on android. Personally, there is nothing I use the desktop software for which I cannot do on the app. Professionally of course I am sure there are little bits here and there that are missing. Just sayin'
[Nexus 7 General] Dradien:
You're allowed:P

Give it time and a phone will have the power of the top 500 supercomputers today combined. Eventually, yes. Forseeable future? Not unless ARM gets ungodly fast and powerful.

For instance, my phone clocks an average of 65ish Mflops on linpack. My processor? Around 42 GFlops. That's almost a literal 1000x processing increase from my processor (PhenomII x4 955) to my phones processor (Dual Core 1.2? Ghz). ARM will never catch up with X86, because of how they are just different, peroid. Different Markets, different power needs, etc etc.

I want to see you take a RAW from any modern DSLR and edit it seemlessly on a tablet the same you would on a PC. Not going to happen.

The storage is fine, and all the RAM in the world won't make a difference if the processor has the grunt of a mid 80's Pinto.

Now that you put it THAT way.

Says Nikons D800, Canons 5D Mark III, among others.

It's an extrenched industry, not to mention a Lens system that goes back to 1987 (with Canon anyway).

You != the industry. Just sayin'.

i think people who take pictures with their tablets just dont care i mean thats all they have.. it has camera and its there to take pictures.Thats the whole logic. My gf was like that.. didnt care how crappy noisy and blurry it looked until she discovered the power dslr. Now we are shopping for a good micro four third camera cuz 60d is it bit heavy for to carry around. But im glad she switched to real photography

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to get GameLoft games working with FXP? I'll be honest, I'm not using the latest (Don't want to entirely reflash :-( ) but has anyone had any experience getting it to work?

I have Dungeon Hunter 3 and Sacred Odyssey - these are the two I'd like to get working with the Xperia Play controls :-) I had a look around, couldn't find any solid answers without using a different ROM, but I really like this one! :-P

I have spent lots of time getting the .2233 leak set up exactly the way i like it. Is there anyway to save this, go back to the upgrade path, then restore the phone set up after the Verizon upgrade? Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chitman17:
Yes you need to root your phone using the razer's edge and install titanium backup and you can back up all apps and data and restore it after the official update.. You can even save system data like text messages and wifi passwords.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] StlrFan:
I am rooted, and have titanium backup, but i didn't remember it keeping things such as home screen set up, and other settings.... Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SonicJoe:
Restoring system data with Titanium can be a problem. I've been able to restore the home screen, blue tooth pairings, and Contacts with no issues moving from one leak to the next. I had an issue trying to go further than that when moving from the 229 leak to the 230 leak, where my home and search keys stopped working. So just keep that in mind.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] fastpakr:
Back up your data in Titanium to be safe, then use SamuriHL's script that pushes the necessary image files to your phone to allow the .905 and ICS loads without overwriting any of your data. I used it a couple of days ago on a coworkers phone and it pushed him from 2231 to 230 with no data loss at all.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] StlrFan:
Thanks for the help. Not sure what I'd do without the help of people here!

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Hey all! Here's another app to add to the stack of things homebrewers enjoy and Microsoft should've cooked in themselves :P

So here's the app I've been working on for over a month (on and off, anyway) titled LockWidgets 2. As the name suggests, this is the second version of the LockWidgets application. This new version runs entirely in the background on the device thanks to some trickery, and thus can provide some nice real-time information on the lock screen.

The idea behind the application was to augment the lockscreen, adding data about the device state into the clean interface. While I still have a lot of work to do on the UI, I think the idea is coming together fairly well (more or less). In later versions, I hope to bring a nice mix between the sleekness of metro and the beauty of, well, chic.

Here's the basic scoop:

Features

SMS widget

Weather widget

Battery widget

Coming soon: RSS widget, improved forecast info, more notification data, RAM widget

Runs in the background, no need for messy data transfer

Should run side-by-side with other homebrew apps, such as Folders, Battery Status, etc.

Requirements

Full Unlocked ROM -or- WP7 Root Tools working on the device.

Download

Over here

Enjoy, and be sure to give suggestions/feedback! Appreciate it.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Petulinek:
It looks nice. But it doesnt work on my HTC Titan with unlocked ultrashots Dynamics ROM 1.2 (root privileges assigned) :-(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Can you give more info on what "doesn't work" means? Several things can go wrong, are there any messages that appear? What exactly is happening?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Petulinek:
Nothing happens. I set root privileges, reboot phone, in app i set SMS and Battery widget, i tried my own wallpaper from gallery and at second attempt Bing wallpaper, it wrote Agent fired but nothing changed, i have still previous wallpaper without widgets.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
No exception messages? Hm... try disabling all widgets and see if it just changes the background
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] meandu229:
That exactly is I have titan on dymanics 1.21 too didnt seem to work but I rebooted and gave root then started app again and it works now. Thanks

Not sure which of those steps bumped it into place.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dragonide:
It doesn't work for me.

I gave it root access, I run the application, I press Save, it says something about a 'fired agent' and then I can read 'running'.

If I try to lock the screen and unlock it I simply can't see any of the widgets ... no battery, no weather, nothing.

Tell me what information do you need to have me providing you a more accurate feedback.

The device and the ROM are the ones in my signature.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jbkkd:
This works great on my Omnia 7, Thanks! Much appreciated.

Would it be possible in future version to set the color of the text?

And maybe choose a default temperature type(Celsius\Fahrenheit)?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Text color, maybe, I'll see. Temperature type will be added once I get the new weather widget finished.

Works with bing wallpaper as far as full screen wallpaper, but if chosen to use own wallpaper it cuts it off and only shows from the middle to the top?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Heard this report at least once before... not sure what the null reference exception is, but I'd assume either the data isn't being downloaded correctly or it's not able to handle something with the writable bitmap.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] galati:
Seems dont work for me in a DFT HTC RADAR
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jbkkd:
After using the app for a day, I've come up with a problem.

While in a call on speaker, the app opened an error message stating that it couldn't connect to the internet to download the weather(didn't catch a screeny there unfortunately), Probably because of a bug I have that when in a call the 3G internet connection dies.

Afterwards, app stopped working - wallpaper stopped updating, but no error messages.

Tried turning it off and on(this really needs improvement in a future release as you can't really tell if it's on or off until you press the "save" button), didn't work. Tried restarting my phone, didn't work.

I'm about to try to reinstall the app, which will hopefully work, but that's kind of a last resort.

I'm using stock 7720 with Omnia 7.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
Initially it didnt work but after doing some steps it now works in hd7 dynamics 8779 rom

for those who say its not working

1) change yr wallpaper to a different one

2) download and install the xap

3) go to root access root manager and turn "ON" lockwidget as trusted applications

4) lastly open the app

5) Use bing wallpaper option

it should work now. u should wait for a while for it to show up.

i need to give it one day to see if it updates.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] galati:
Thancks Magpir ! For me its ok now, lets see how its work.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ultrashot:
Cool way to redirect an issue to someone else :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
ok having it now for while , the weather updates and sms are working fine.

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

if u are using the dynamics rom with root access manager cooked in ..

if u turn on all trusted applications , and install an app later on, the new app is not reflected will not be turned on because only the installed apps prior to changing to all trusted applications will be turned on.

so just individually turn on the apps whenever after u install a homebrew xap.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ultrashot:
That's invalid. If full root mode is enabled, all new apps will have root access as well.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
i dont know but it shows as off when a new app is installed after Trust all applications is enabled.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hob0dan:
Perfect

Work's perfect on my Nokia Lumia 710 c:, Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] galati:
I turn on only this xap because is the first app who need that. But after 10 hours i can say the app is good but dont update the battery status for hemself.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
The battery updates fine on mine....maybe u need to turn on root access in root manager
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dendron:
Same here, first version worked fine on my custom rom on focus tango, this one, doesn't... bummer
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
The agent gets fired whenever you press Save. If you open the app and the background isn't updating, the agent isn't running and you should press save again. It's not pretty, but a lot of the design has to do with the limitations of how the background agent I use for this project works.

The thing is, it runs fine on my Tango Focus, so the problem isn't device or version related. It's just a conflict with apps or other things; sometimes the app works, sometimes it doesn't. Best advice comes from W. E. Hickson:

If at first you don't succeed,

Try, try, try again

Hopefully some stuff will get more streamlined over time, though.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] snickler:
I've seen that it will not show as on sometimes, but it will still keep its root unlock
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] zup2sky:
Using Dynamics HTC Titan Rom

Keep getting this error after agent is fired:mactual exception in checkForDataChange()NullReferenceException

Any clue?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Theoretically, very nice app. However, there are a few things that prevent it from really being usable for me.

1. Background audio agent keeps getting killed (constantly). I use my phone as a media player (Zune Pass streaming, mostly) and every time you play music, it kills the background agent... which means I can't get updates while listening to music, and after I stop listening I have to start the agent again.

2. Lock screen media controls obscure the top-of-screen widgets, such as weather. The first version had this problem too, but by putting black text fields as spacers, you could avoid that. With this version, it appears to be unavoidable.

3. No easy way to start the background agent when it gets killed. I'd suggest the option of creating a secondary live tile that allows you to launch the agent with one click. Alternatively, maybe you could have a "normal" background agent that checks every 30 minutes to see if the audio background agent is running, and starts it if not? For that matter, I'm willing to go back to the the old-style background agent in general.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
This, unfortunately, is a limitation of the way it works. I use the audio agents as they can run for infinite time and have very generous memory limits, which is needed for the application.

Working on it. The UI isn't at all final, and I think people will really like what I have in store for the next version. It would be nice if I could find a way to see if the media controls are visible, too.

Both good ideas, and something I've been considering. I'm not sure if I can actually restart the audio agent from a background task, but I'll try it. Secondary tile would be easy, but less elegant. Again, I would just have an old style background task for the sake of slow updates, but given the memory limits, this isn't possible.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll see about cleaning this stuff up once I get the next version locked and loaded.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Cool stuff, thanks!

I didn't realize the memory limit was the reason you had to offload the processing before. More research into how background agents work - such as finding a way to remove their RAM limit or ignore the kill messages (like we used to do with app dehydration) - may yield good results. Otherwise, building the agent as a homebrew EXE should also work, once we manage to run those on stock ROMs.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
its the background agent turning off the app when u dont open the app for a period of time

i can replicate this in my phone. Not unique but expected as Mango and tango OS is supposed to work this way.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Yeah, I've been searching around for the memory limits, but nothing useful has come up yet, unfortunately. I would go with the native EXE (or managed EXE) option, but the rendering is done with Silverlight and I'm not sure how I would replicate that using either of those options.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
think this is got to do with the registry edit

sharememsize
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Where would I find that?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] zup2sky:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Might have the wrong city name, then. I get the data straight from Google weather.

Yeah, it runs off of the same platform as SMSTile, so you can't run them at the same time. This is an OS limitation, specifically with the agents.
