[Android Apps and Games] TheJH:
I wrote a small app that requires Superuser and allows you to expose custom disk images instead of the real SD card.

Source code: https://github.com/thejh/ImageExposer

Download: https://github.com/thejh/ImageExposer/downloads

To use this, you will have to:

- prepare an empty disk image

- create a partition table in the image

- create a partition and format it as FAT in the image

- copy the image to the android device (if you didn't create it there)

Then, open the app, "select new image file", choose the image.

Alternatively (that's how I did it), you can expose the empty image right after creating it and then do the partitioning stuff from the PC. Creating an empty image is as easy as running this command on Android (using ConnectBot or so):

dd if=/dev/zero of=<path to the image file> bs=1024 count=<size in KB>

So, for a 100MB image, use something like

dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/my_image bs=1024 count=102400

.

I wrote this app in order to be able to boot linux variants over USB from my sdcard - but sadly, it looks like booting from this thing doesn't work for some reason. :( Still, it should be usable e.g. for transferring files using the phone over USB while playing music or for preventing people from seeing all the stuff on your sdcard just because you want to take some files home or so.

What do you think? Is this stuff usable for something?

Edit: It's in the market now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=thejh.imageexposer

Ok. I am trying to convert a very nice chinese rom for the samsung captivate, to have english on the ui buttons instead of chinese. I have an idea how to go along with this, and the software, wish me luck and I will keep you updated on my progress with the rom modding. I hope to upload a compleat rom which is satisfactory, soon'er or later. Alot of .apk modding, rom testing, and apk signing will be needed on my part. I'll try to keep it nice like they made it, and the english support is all ready there just not on all the .apk applications included, that's my main goal to get the application buttons 100% ok!.
[Android General] Jason Raub:
Frustrating. I just got the rom onto my captivate and the top bar was gone, so that mean's deleteing launguage settings wont take away the chinese interface words on the buttons and also destroy's the top bar. : \ I'm working on it though, I mean it seem's to be an application only issue but I don't want to rid the rom of applications just to get rid of chinese words for english words on some buttons. Any ideas? sry for my spelling. Btw I took those launguages out of SystemUI.apk & GoogleServicesFramework.apk, and i did it with Apk Manager here on windows 7.
[Android General] Jason Raub:
Well that project went down the tolit, i'm too new to be trying that just yet, i'm just messing around with adb in cmd on windows for now, it's fun trying to figure things out and mess with my phone remotely! i'll let you guy's know if i find out any thing usful, thank you! : )
[Android General] Grant Barker:
Keep at it. A long journey starts with but a single step..:good:
[Android General] Jason Raub:
Thank you Grant Barker. I will keep at it, my brother I use his usb cable, he get's annoyed when his hp touchpad is getting low on charge and I got the cable lol, trying to figure out and test stuff with android. I test alot of rom's I find online and a few I really like, i'm more in for flashing a new rom than using one which is strange, also more into screwing around with the files than the normal day to day end user would ever dare doing. I like the stock captivate rom, I see issues though, the old JF6 version (stock) ran smooth as silk with a few audio glitches at boot and a lil lag at first run, but otherwise an ok version even today it still run's well for day to day tasks, the kk4 version (stock) is another story, at boot it has very bad visual lagging, i mean once it get's going it's ok but still there is alot of lagging with tasks, I think the hardware was better off with the intended first rom and JF6 kernel, but then there is the outdated issue with JF6 and i'd like to see a rom made from that version to flash and test, also i want to try and make a rom my self from that JF6 stock version better suited for today's online and offline world. Clean and simple that's how I like it. :fingers-crossed:
[Android General] XO:
you seem young, keep at it...you will be a recognized dev in no time :laugh:
[Android General] Jason Raub:
Ok! here is a modded .apk you can install in the system/app directory of you're captivate with kk4 rom, please remember to delete or backup the SystemUI.apk from you're system/app directory before! trying this if you want to test my first fairly simple attempt using android sdk and other tools. :highfive: Hope you like it! might even get a laugh.
[Android General] Jason Raub:
I forgot to say thank's 2 up ^ thanks. I have a question. How do I get a rom i've modified with the kernel into a zip ready to be flashed, using cwm or any other custom recovery for installing .zip ready made roms. I just don't know how to intigrate all that data wipe and install stuff into a .zip file, do I just? put the main / directory into the zip and hope cwm does the rest lol, I know adb can push the files and folders but it has issues trying to delete un-empty folders which is a pain in the rear end, it like says file system is read read only or says folder not empty when i try to delete a folder but it docent care if i delete system files. Under c:\adb shell , then $ rmdir /system/app , it babbles on about the folder not being empty, even after installing the latist superuser binaries and superuser.apk and busybox with all its jargon tool addons or whatever there called. I just want any advice where to look or how to try setting up a .zip with a rom i've modified, so it can just be installed through cwm or any others like that. Thanks! : )
[Android General] Jason Raub:
I'm messing with this rom at the moment http://www.downloads.bombaymobiles.in/index.php?dir=Samsung%20Flash%20files/I897/&file=I897UCJE5.zip it's the erliest version I could find for captivate that's downloadable. If you can find a download link which works for I897UCJE4.tar or .rar or .zip.. my mind will be blown.. :eek:
[Android General] Jason Raub:
Hmm I wonder what this is :highfive: oh ya! it's the KB1 stock kernel :silly: It was so easy to get I dunno why no one else had it. Oh! and what's this :silly: http://www.mediafire.com/?i47m7nmcnd66zgr Could it really be the I897UCKB1 Rom in .tar format, my captivate say's yes! :highfive: it is! :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CrazyTechnoBoy:
My brother's Epic 4G Touch always reverts back to the stock recovery after flashing a new ROM. I honestly have no idea why it does this. I'm not really new to all this rooting stuff, but this is something quite new. If it helps, his phone has the EL29 modem and recovery we always put back on is the Rogue one.

Sent from my awesome LTEvo :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
There's a good chance the ROM you are flashing isn't packaged with a custom recovery. What ROM are you flashing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
What ROM are you flashing and how are you flashing it?

Please it NOT ROM Manager - that's a good way to anchor weight your phone (or his as it were)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
because the recovery is part of the kernel.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carter0108:
I assume this has been asked before but I can't find the answer.

I've purchased the keyboard dock for the 10.1 galaxy tab and my concern is with the internet and mail keys.

Samsung assure me it's not possible to reassign them to open chrome and the gmail app. However this is android we're talking about so there's always a way.

Does anybody have the answer for this?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Did the store guy say it will work with your Galaxy Tab 7" original?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carter0108:
He didn't say but I assume it would.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Not on stock rom.

Do you know the 10.1 can take a USB thumb drive as well?

It has USB host mode, like a computer USB port.

Our tab doesn't.

In cm9 and aokp9 they got it working but even then, the USB port supplies no power. They have to use y cable and the charger.

Edit: or is it Bluetooth?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] petes67bird:
I recently tried Swiftkey 3 in order to see if the keyboard allowed the user to see the actual Emoticon when you want to send one in a text. Just as in the stock keyboard, all you actually see is the characters that are used, not the actual smiley. I would like to use some but dont have all the smileys memorized as to what the emoticon actually is and the only way to know is to send the text and see it when its too late. I sent my buddy a kiss yesterday lol. Is there an app or any way to actually see which smiley I choose. I will say the Swiftkey 3 keyboard is just excellent at its predictive typing. I barely spell anything correctly and punch in whatever is close and it turns out perfectly. The stock keyboard changed it to sentences I couldnt even make sense of. Thanks pete
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] iJudgeMAN:
I haven't used anything that allows you to see them. You just learn as you go. You can always text your own number the emoticons though.

Sent from my LT28at
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] josemald:
I don't think you'll get this from a keyboard, you might have to find a different SMS program that interprets the smiley keys as an actual smiley while you type. I's using GO SMS Pro, by default it doesn't have this function, but there might be an option to activate it. It's free, so you can install it and look for the option.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] petes67bird:
How does go sms differ from the stock messenger
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] iJudgeMAN:
Go, along with other third party apps, allows you to customize the look of your inbox via themes, assigning individual contacts a specific text tone, and other features are available as well. I know with Go, you can install the emoji plug in that iPhone uses, but only those with the plug in can see that kind of stuff.

On a side note, now that I think about it, Go has a button within the texting that allows you to see what the emoticons look like before choosing.

Edit: I just checked and the feature you are looking for is indeed available in GO SMS Pro. With the soft keyboard down, there is a smiley face button and it allows you to see what the emoticons look like before choosing. Hope that helps.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] petes67bird:
K trying it out but I have one issue with go. When you send a pic to someone who doesn't have go its a link to the picture instead of actual picture. Is there a workaround for that

Sent from my LT28at
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] iJudgeMAN:
How are you sending the photo because I haven't had an issue like that.

Sent from my LT28at
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] iJudgeMAN:
There are two ways to send a photo. If you click the soft button that says go and select image, that's when it sends a link to someone without go. If you were to select MMS at the far right instead of go, it sends an actual image via MMS.

Have you been using the go tab to send pictures?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] erwaso:
Is anyone able to have a dark theme in the stock messenger? Black/grey background instead of white?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] petes67bird:
I used the mms photo but sent it to an iphone user. Sending to other androids is fine. Thanks for the suggestions. I am liking it so far much better than stock with a black and gray theme downloaded for free.

You can tell that iPhone person to just get an android phone and solve the problem :-P

[General Topics] Tom Desire S:
It's a simple question of: What's better, Samsung Galaxy Nexus or the HTC One X? I was thinking of getting a new phone and can't decide which one to get!

Thank you:laugh:
[General Topics] clarkinum:
Of course one x

Because:

Gaming: tegra 3 (just google it)

Amazing camera: obviously better

Screen: it is better even galaxy s3's

and rom developing you can found awesome roms, basic guides easy than nexus.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
What? You think development on the One X is better than the Nexus? Do you know anything at all about Android?
[General Topics] Tom Desire S:
Do you think an almost fully working Jelly Bean will arrive on the HTC One X soonish? If so I'll get that one :)
[General Topics] Kujila:
+1 for a One X - especially if you are going to keep the default UI with Sense 4
[General Topics] Tom Desire S:
Basically I love basic Android and Sense, I keep switching on my Desire S, and I want to make sure that I get the fastest phone with the most choice of ROMS :D
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Probably not...AOSP ROM's are very tough to get fully working. Especially since source code hasn't been released yet. Note that I said FULLY working...stable is different.
[General Topics] Tom Desire S:
Yeah stable is what I meant ;) I mean I'm running CM9 now on my HTC Desire S :D

I'm going to order the HTC One X this Sunday :D Thanks for your input guys :)
[General Topics] clarkinum:
sorry for my english i mean i think one x has more usefull roms (for me sense UI is enough...)
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Ok, should probably research the hardware issues that were acknowledged by HTC.

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

Useful? You mean half broken attempts at AOSP..ooooohh oooook.
[General Topics] clarkinum:
Hey dude cooldown. i made a mistake so what? i am a human. i just love all android phones. and version number not everything.
[General Topics] dB Zac:
I have both, if camera is a high priority, in phone storage is a low priority, and you dont mind Sense (at least till after the kernel is released) than the One X is for you.

If you like the vanilla experiance, need a little more storage on your phone and don't need a good point and shoot on your phone, then the galaxy nexus is for you.

I havent seen a whole lot of difference in gaming, I tend to play simpler games on my phone. that said, I do have GT3 on both and I notice no real difference in the way they run it. I am running Jellybean on the Nexus and both phones are NOT over clocked.

There will be good ASOP roms for the One X once the kernel is released. I remember going threw all this waiting with the thunderbolt.
[General Topics] Kujila:
Also OP, which HTC One X are we talking about?

International version or the one carried by phone providers? :silly:

[General Topics] Vincent5fps:

[General Topics] DroidModder:
Its a hard choice. I prefer the One X because of it Matte White unibody and Sense 4.0 is pretty nice

[General Topics] syl0n:
He is from UK. Outside of the US the storage is reversed. GNex only has 16GB and One X has 32GB, both are not expandable.
[General Topics] Mangup^:
+1 for HTC one X . In my opinion its better than galaxy nexus :D
[General Topics] huitae91:
one x.. because of HTC Sense

i love it.:fingers-crossed:
[General Topics] BlueSenior:
This choice +1 for One X.

If One X Vs S III

+1 for S III :laugh:
[General Topics] Tom Desire S:
I'm from the UK, as been mentioned, and so I would get the quad core 3G HTC One X.

Is ICS on my HTC Desire S an AOSP?

Hi there.

I was wondering if there was a way to change the Google search widget so it was transparent with a white outline like you see on other versions of ICS?

I realize we have a ton of threads going discussing everything, but might be nice to see all the prices/deals everyone is finding either locally, online, etc

i ordered mine on lets talk http://www1.letstalk.com/droid-incredible-4-by-htc

it was $40 for an upgrade, but I used the code DROID20 at checkout and saved another 20 bucks, so final was $19.99 :good:

you got that baby rooted and ready to fly? i think i'll have one in 20 days.

Wanna buy me one :) lol jk
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
While not near as good of a deal as what nitsuj17 posted Best Buy is selling it for $99. This is for new and upgrade purchasers.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:
Are there any deals for buying the phone without contract?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] ryzilla23:
That rarely happens officially. However, eBay will have new one for less than retail.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] aeroevan:
I'd be interested in this too...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
499 isn't bad...I'd bet in less than a month its 350 ish on swappa or cl
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:
Just checked ebay, the ones I see are selling for $520-$650. Why would anyone buy from them when they could goto verizon and get $499.

I do see some completed ones that sold for less. I guess its still early.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] joefrog1996:
If you need somthing cheap the rezound is like 200 off contract on ebay used.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] redzepplun:
Thanks for the heads-up nitsuj.

Just ordered mine too.

20 bucks....wow!! I almost feel guilty....almost.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] slacka-vt:
Yes, and on that topic, I got mine using a "Buddy Upgrade" at the VZ store for $99. Came to $106.99 with tax. There was no rebate card or anything like that. They simply took $50 off the MSRP.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
I wish I had the same experience--I got hit with the full $199 and I'm getting one of those annoying rebate cards in the mail.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
Yeah I didn't believe it at first, but really happy :good:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] PatimusXPrime:
I'm not ready to part ways with my Inc2 and i don't have an upgrade for my line for another year or so... i doubt my dad will let me steal one of their upgrades AGAIN so i'm looking to get it cheap elsewhere... I REALLY dont want to pay $500 from VZW for the phone w/o a contract... I'm going to STALK ebay, amazon, bestbuy, and maybe other reliable sites if i can find them.. if i find anything i'll be sure to post it here... let me know if you guys get lucky with a great deal!

I checked the letstalk link you posted and i have the $30 unlimited data plan and there's no way i'm going to give that up this easily lol.. is it confirmed that VZW will grandfather us in with that plan? because if not i probably won't upgrade to the inc4g for a long time...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
if you upgrade on ur line w/ unlimited data you will loose it

i use my parents upgrades for my wife and i now
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] PatimusXPrime:
right if i were to go to VZW and use my mom's upgrade i would lose the unlim data plan. but if i go buy the phone without contract and activate it on my line will i still be grandfathered in with unlim data? if not... well then damn looks like im not getting this for a while
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
no, if you order it through their line you wont

what to do

order using upgrade from someone else who either doesnt have unlimited or doesnt mind loosing it

have them activate it to clear the esn

have them reactivate their old phone

go to verizon to get a new sim

activate it and your gtg
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] PatimusXPrime:
what a colossal pain in the balls.. okay so i would just go to verizon store and say "hey i need a new SIM card for my phone" what do i tell them is my reason?

lol this is the first step... the only two upgrades on my plan are for two phones that dont have a data plan at all... we would have to add the data plan on there then cancel it once we activate the old one? yeah there's no way he will go for that...

so what if i get the phone without a contract, activate it on somebody else's line, (somebody who already has the new data plan) and then do the sim card thing?

sorry for typing so much.. i want this phone lol
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
its a pita, but you dont need a reason to get a simcard....all you have to do is tell them you are swapping phones...they dont care, someone somewhere used an upgrade and thats all that matters

if you have a phone w/o a data plan and you have an ugprade for it, you can get a smartphone w/ that upgrade, but if you try and cancel the plan and keep the phone, you ll get hit with an etf up to $350 for that line (more if you used the upgrade on a 3rd party site like bb or letstalk)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] PatimusXPrime:
yeah dude i knew that but my mom and grandma are on my plan they just dont have a smartphone with data. so if i use their upgrade they'll make me get a data plan for the phone. so after we get the new phone (and data plan for it) we would have to activate her old phone and get rid of the DATA plan (i should have specified that earlier). but i'm sure i'll still get charged for part or all of the data plan that we'd have to get. all this for some candy... what ever happened to getting a new bike and going nuts?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
if they are on the same plan as you (ie family plan) id check with verizon about how that affects you if they get a data package before anything else of course

OTG does not work

I have just bought a xperia u (st25i)

I have tested different OTG cables but non of them works.

in the storage menu USB storage options are not active.

the phone is manufactured in April 2012. the OS is android 2.3.7

I do not want to loose the warranty so I have not tried to root it.

should it be necessarily be rooted? or I should just try to find the proper OTG cable?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Your cable is probably wrong. If you have another device and the same cable works there, apply for RMA.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KeiranFTW:
I got cable today too, and at first I thought it didn't work. After reboot I connected 16GB MS with power consumption error, so I tried a 4GB MS and it worked. Looks like I need a new memory stick or a separate powered hub between OTG cable and ms
