[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aryehzev:
I wanted to know if know if in a place where there is no wifi, is it possible to create an ftp server or anything similar so i can transfer files from my laptop to my phone and vice versa wirelessly, like maybe with the portable hotspot somehow...

Im running MIUI V4 ICS 4.0.3 in case that matters

Thx,

Aryeh
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
That would be possible if your laptop has the ability to create a wireless hotspot, and you connect your phone to it and then use an FTP app. I prefer this one - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.xdevelop.rmp

For example, my Dell Studio 1555 has an Intel WiFi Link 5300 card, and the driver for it includes software called Intel My WiFi, which allows me to create a hotspot with my laptop. If I remember correctly, there are software to do the same on any laptop even if it doesn't come with the driver.

Try this out, should work.

Hi! I am the Lead Developer at Kilobolt Studios and I just wanted to let you know that I have just started my series of tutorials that will cover everything from basic Java to Advanced Android Game Development.

If you are willing to put in the time and dedication, please join us!

Beginners are welcome. :good:

I hope to see you in the comments section!
[Android General] DavidLT:
Cool, will take a look, currently very new to Android and programming in general , first app launching soon.

Could you give us more information about yourself, like how long it took you to learn Android game programming, any prior programming experiences, etc.

Not doubting your ability, but just to get a sense of things, like how long will a person need to get to that skill level:laugh:
[Android General] tjdwowh:
Well I started programming just about a year ago. I've had no formal training, but I've been reading a lot of books, watching a lot of tutorial videos, and practicing a lot to get to where I am now.

I've always been pretty good with computers, so I picked up programming pretty quickly.

I'd say if an absolute beginner followed my tutorials for a couple of weeks (provided he knows computer basics already), he will be quite capable of game programming. :)
[Android General] FearlessDK:
Very nice! I will definitely be apart of this. I have zero knowledge of Android programming but would love to learn. Thank you so much this.
[Android General] tjdwowh:
That's how everyone starts. Welcome aboard!
[Android General] 181charan:
i am interested too! :)

Though all i know are basics of C, i would love to learn!! :)
[Android General] Markuzy:
Let's see how it goes. Gonna study hard :-)

Thanks, this will help me when I decide to develop a couple of my android game ideas.
[Android General] Hellren:
In past I did some minor programming in Delphi but i would love to start with this learning project :-) thank you for pointing it out, there will be more of us who will gladly join your ranks ;-)
[Android General] Daycrawler:
I'd be very happy to see something like this. Game developing for PC became too complex to grasp single-handedly (2D is no more a real option) but Android would open many possibilities here.
[Android General] dosek:
I really appreciate your work. :)

So far I followed all your steps from the guide and I cannot wait for your next instructions...I really like your way of writing, it's really easy to understand, keep it up. :)

PS: You even made me register here. ;D
[Android General] tjdwowh:
Haha. Thank you. I'm glad you are learning!

In about a week, we will actually start game programming so be excited!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jamcar:
ok i have made ROMs for the epic 4g touch (sprint's SGSII) and the Gtab! yay! and now im making it for the sIII but the ROM is too big to upload to my old place :( (thanks a lot samsung) so where can i upload it too?????
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersey:
Have just moved across from the S2. Have updated to the latest firmware (Italy) and have done a factory reset which has actually wiped the internal sd card which never happened on my S2.

Has anyone else had experience of this???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Animor:
Yes, this is indeed what happens on the S3 when you do factory reset - you lose all your data (music, photos, etc).

I think there is warning about that before you do it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowwhite007:
Just remove sd card i havent actualy tried ig but it usually gives you a opgion to do SD
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersey:
I wiped mine via CWM so didn't see or heed the warning.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bordikun:
factory reset via CWM won't wipe internal SD card, but via phone(settings) it will
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersey:
Ah, you've just made me realise what I did wrong. I flashed the firmware via Mobile Odin and factory reset via the default recovery not CWM because I hadn't installed it at that point...stupid me :silly:

Motorola ICS UI review: this isn't the Blur we used to know

Looks like the official ICS ROM will be mostly vanilla. With such a light touch and now being owned by Google, maybe they'll go full vanilla in the future.
[Atrix 4G General] Jotokun:
We already have a few ICS discussion threads, you could have known that months ago by reading one of them.
[Atrix 4G General] windozeanti:
This thread title is misleading. Offical release date is most likely Q4 2013.
[Atrix 4G General] :
No, I'm pretty sure it's next Tuesday.

MB860, CM7.2.0, Faux 026b1 1Ghz
[Atrix 4G General] quetzalcoatl2435:
And I stand by my original statement that it will be released on Friday.
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Jelly Bean right after, on Saturday.
[Atrix 4G General] Semseddin:
I am not sure if they would provide a vanilla UI for ATrix like we see in Razr.
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
I think yes. It's cheaper and easier to use the same code.
[Atrix 4G General] Semseddin:
Consider we're talking about motorola. That UI is for OMAP devices and Atrix isn't equipped with OMAP. We'll see all together.
[Atrix 4G General] yeahmann:
I doubt the UI will be different just because the processor is. With it so deblurred, you gotta wonder why they even bother redoing any part of it. They can just include the bloat they want as apps without messing with the framework. Maybe the carriers are insisting on crippling some features.
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Code is written in high level programming language like C++.
[Atrix 4G General] tatperson:
Its the same case as why the Photon and Atrix got a different, uglier and sluggish Blur instead of the one that came with all the Motorola phones equipped with OMAP4 chips.

Heck, the ICS Blur we see on our Atrix might even be the original ugly Android4 blur that is available for download everywhere.

Sent from that Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] bloodhawk:
Agreed.

Heck the launcher on the initial Froyo builds was so much more faster!

And then the rest of the Motorola phones comes out, and guess what ? Atrix is suddenly sluggish? I mean seriously?
[Atrix 4G General] NonovUrbizniz:
I actually complained about screen switching being TOO fast on the Froyo build lol... ooops.

GB update was weird for me, it worked GREAT for a long time, then it started getting buggy and sluggish, I factory reset it like 4 times with new blur accounts etc, and nothing helped, finally rom'd it the other day and couldn't be happier..

Got to figure out a solution for webtop though, I used that a LOT.
[Atrix 4G General] exwannabe:
If reports are correct (that Webtop has been replaced with tablet mode plus some candy), then the only solution that is rational is to run a headless Linux disttro and RDC into it.

Even if all the bits of code needed to spin up X are opensource, it is going to be a huge pain for somebody to port it over to ICS. And some items (such as the kernel mod that mux's inputs to both X and 'droid) I do not beleive are avaiable.

Using an RDC aproach makes it is fairly easy to put a distro of your choice on the Atrix though, so that is a plus.

To me the question would be if I was to use a full screen RDC to an 'ux desktop, or just bring up a window to the app that I want. Really need to see how it all plays after we get the real Tegra drivers for ICS out.
[Atrix 4G General] maggedo:

Does anyone know either how to fix this compile issue or enable the soft keys another way?

Thanks in advance ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torsrex:
this actually took me several hours to figure out, but since you were so kind to post the guide to something I have wanted for a while I took the challenge.

You need to download the three files from step 1 in this post and copy them to a folder on your harddrive: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427959

Next, rename apktool1.4.2.31e6dc5.jar to apktool.jar

Then copy your framework-res.apk to the same place as the three other files.

Then open up a command prompt and type apktool if framework-res.apk.

Then decompile using apktool d framework-res.apk.

Now, do your edits inside the framework-res folder.

Then download apktool1.4.3.tar.bz2 from the same post (under rebuild). Extract it and replace the apktool.jar you copied earlier.

Now in the command prompt type apktool b framework-res.

Now go to framework-res\dist and rename the framework-res.apk to framework-res1.apk-zip. Then copy your old framework-res.apk to the same folder and add .zip as the file extension.

Now open up both (i'm using winrar) and delete res and resources.arc. Then extrack res and resources from your newly compiled framework-res1.apk.zip to th e old one.

Now, reboot to recovery and push the framework-res.apk to /system/framework-res.apk. Then chown it using chmod 0:0 framework-res.apk and set permissions chmod 644 framework-res.apk.

Hope you understood at least a bit of what I wrote ;) I'm assuming you know how to use adb etc.

@op you could also upload your framework-res.apk file here and I could do the compiling for you :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pcmanrules:

[Huawei Ideos X6] wesleyel:
Was wondering if there is a tool available to perform scan on our sdcard and also defragement it. Or maybe a command from the console to also perform this task just like on a window OS.
[Huawei Ideos X6] chrillefr:
From my knowledge of Linux this is taken care of by the system on boot. Defrag, scandisc would preferred at system or swap partion if used for a longer time. Depends on file system more than windows applieable in this case. Please correct me on this..

My dog sent this while a I took a leak...
[Huawei Ideos X6] Zfwaeld:
Not sure about scandisk utilities, but defrag is only necessary for conventional hard drives that contain an actual spinning disk. The reason for this is that on a spinning drive, fragmented files are scattered across multiple physical locations on the disk. This is not a concern for solid state drives, including both built-in storage and SD cards. With solid-state memory, the physical location of data is irrelevant.

In fact, defragmenting solid-state memory is actually detrimental to the hardware. Each "cell" of the chip can only survive a few hundred of thousand delete/write cycles before it fails. This is typically not a concern as A) this is usually far more than would happen during the expected life of the device itself and B) low-level software performs "wear-leveling" ensuring that some cells don't get written to excessively while others remain unused and C) this low-level software is also able to detect bad cells and flag so they do not get used, in a way that is completely transparent to the end user. The reason defragmenting is bad for solid-state chips is that it involves many delete/write operations which slowly degrade the chip, but which ultimately serve no greater purpose.
[Huawei Ideos X6] chrillefr:
Thanks for clearifying this. :)

My dog sent this while a I took a leak...
[Huawei Ideos X6] wesleyel:
Wow I just got educated. Thanks a ton bro...
[Huawei Ideos X6] pmg1991:
There is no need to defragment as told already above. But you can Consolidate free space to make a large pool of free space and yes Consolidating free space increases "write" speed if memory is low :( because to writing to several small location takes more time than writing to a continuous memory block... :) use MyDefrag free software to Consolidate space.

But, when it is damage SD, dont knwo why... becasue i didnt touch the ****ing cell phone.. it is not a "scandisk" command from system or any app could make it? I cant find nothing.. must I take it out and do it under windows???

[HTC One X] CAPSGUY:
I have recently encountered a problem with my hox, where, if I press the power button, the screen doesn't awake. It's a little weird, because the back home app switcher buttons do light up if it is dark enough around me and, after pushing them a few times, the volume buttons respond as well.

I haven't fully tested it, but it seems like when I wait like a minute or so, maybe more, the screen does finally wake up. I have also held the power button several times to restart it while it was like this and then the screen doesn't light up until the sim unlock screen pops up.

I have yet to factory reset the phone etc., but I was wondering if anyone else had run into this problem. I have looked around the internet, but was unsure what to search for.
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
Are u using sweep to wake?, that sometimes causes this problem
[HTC One X] CAPSGUY:
Nope, I do not have sweep to wake.
[HTC One X] CAPSGUY:
Well, after a while of being okay, the issue is showing up again. If I press the power button it does wake the phone somehow (back, home, tasks lights light up, volume can be altered), but the screen wont come on. And when it's one of those rare moments that it does turn on the UI flies everywhere, making it literary uncontrolable, until at some point the screen just turns itself off.

I am not running any custom things, everything is stock. I tried a factory reset without erasing the SD storage. I also have just sent an email to HTC, but it being weekend and all I still have to wait a day or two.

Any other things I could try?
