Hello

I need to find stylus that work good for nexus 7,

I need stylus that write like pen for notebook.

And jot pro not work.

another question is What application allows writing as a student notebook.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Accessories] beestee:
The Hand stylus is pretty great as far as capacitive stylii go, but i do not think any capacitive stylus will be able to replace pen and paper. Imagine trying to take notes with a blunt-tip marker on a small notepad and you will have the general idea of what this experience will be like.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] uncisbest:
talk about a LOT of pages of notes. Why dont you just audio record it and go back later to summarize it?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] rkanwar:
There is a product made by apenusa, I think.its the A3, its small device which connects via bluetooth, and records your pen gestures to the app, so you use the pen on a surface. However its like 130 bucks. The same company have come out with the A6 smartpen. However they say its only for ios devices but im not sure if it may work on android. Again this product is like 130 bucks. Not sure im willing to spend that much on a stylus to test it let alone use it. But the a6 pen uses this tech where it blocks multitouch, so you can rest your palm.on the screen whilst writing or drawing. Source: http://www.apenusa.com

To be fair ive had a nice experience with my jot classic on both my nexus 7 and xperia s. Though it can be annoying to use however its the best stylus ive had to date. More precise and effortlessly accurate

I have the app FreeNote and it works really well for taking notes if you have a good stylus. It has several different options and settings and it is really fast.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] intaglioman:
Hi there;

I've recently gotten roped into developing a piece of software for android devices; I've been instructed to make it possible to send messages (Message Boxes) to mobile devices which are separate from MMS and SMS; For security purposes we have had built a small Android distribution for the devices allowing GPS, Calls and GPRS Data BUT NO SMS/MMS! (I think Bluetooth is supported; but at the distances that we work at; it would be irrelevant)

So far I've been able to program the devices to show the messages when connected to the Bridge; Is it at all possible to send a piece of DATA that will allow the Phone to display a message; Much like the "Battery Low" messages with an "OK" button/option but with a custom message?

Thanks :good:

All the JB ROMs are carrier free so you would need the specific settings. If T-Mobile Wifi calling can be setup as an SIP provider then you can manually set it up in all the JB ROMs in Phone Settings.

You can set a PIN for purchases [that will charge your credit card], but free apps do not require it.

It was discovered recently that you can bypass the PIN by clearing Google Play's data.

As long as your kids do not know how to clear Google Play's data [in Settings -> Apps, or Recents -> long tap Play -> "App Info"], it will be fine though.
[General Questions and Answers] hackf0rce:

[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
PerfMon is a "floating" performance monitor tool. It shows on top of any other app you are running. Aside from being useful for powerusers wanting to know what their device is doing, it is a great tool to use during debugging and profiling.

PerfMon offers you four categories of metrics:

- Foreground App

- CPU

- Disk I/O

- Network I/O

PerfMon will also show you a new and unique-to-PerfMon performance metric: "CPU Capacity Usage". The CPU usage percentage traditionally used to measure and compare how much of the computational resources an app (or the entire device) is currently using does not make sense in a mobile multi-core setting. The capacity metric will take the CPU usage and scale it to what it would be if all cores were running at full capacity.

For example: if you have a 1.6ghz quad-core running a light app, it could be using 10% CPU with only one of the four cores active, and that core running at 200mhz. If you translate that to all four cores running at 1.6ghz, that app is using only 0.3% of total CPU capacity.

It's the only CPU Usage metric that makes any sense!

Foreground App

This window shows metric of the currently foreground (running and visible) application:

- Application title

- Application package name

- Memory usage total (in megabytes)

- Dalvik, Native, and Other memory usage (in megabytes)

- Overall CPU Usage (normal percentage and capacity)

- User and System CPU Usage (normal percentage)

CPU

This window displays overall CPU metrics:

- Capacity usage and current divider

- Overall CPU usage percentage

- Per-core CPU usage percentage and megahertz

Disk I/O

This window displays the disk I/O metrics of your MMC-based storage devices. Usually, mmcblk0 is your internal flash, and mmcblk1 is your removable SD-card. Please note that currently MTD-based storage is not supported by this display. Also note that the metrics displayed are raw I/O, so if the OS has I/O requests buffered/cached, you will not see anything happen here.

- Per-device read and write kilobytes/second

Network I/O

This window displays the network I/O metrics of your network interfaces.

- Per-interface transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) kilobytes/second

Download

Download from Google Play

The Google Play download is not free - it costs about a beer (thanks!). The download listed below is 100% the exact same program, but free. If you are able to purchase on Play, please consider that these tools don't write themselves, and beer is an essential fuel to the Chainfire.

REDISTRIBUTION IS NOT ALLOWED

(you can link to this thread, but you can't repost the APK elsewhere, you can't include it in your ROMs, etc)

Overlay tools like cool tool has always caused a drop in benchmark performance. Will test this tool now

Edit:

It dosent affects the benchmark scores at all, NenaMark2,2.3 had a few fps drop, nothing else noticed.

@ chainfire

With all this done is there a way to monitor the frame rate of the ui in jb roms? This would be a killer feature.

[Android Software Development] FDisk80:
It doesn't on my device at least. I can manually stop it and then it closes with FC error.
[Android Software Development] AbuYahya:
Good app.

Positioning of overlay from portrait to landscape needs some attention. Use relative to screen proportions

Quad core frequencies contradict "system tuner" esp cpu3 which is hotpluged out in sytemtuner but running constantly in your overlay. and setcpu also seems inconsistent with cpu0.

Any chance of GPU freq, load. & voltage. & FPS

Sgs3
[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
Can you FC it and let me know the exact and minimum steps to consistently replicate this problem ? Thanks a bunch.

I haven't tried SetCPU yet but I can confirm you 100% that the systemtuner display is wrong.

[Android Software Development] Dovidhalevi:
Very Nice

This is an excellent app. We need more "tablet"-style apps that can be overlaying windows. This one certainly presents useful info!

I am using an Optimus-1. This handset has a small screen by today's standards and the app covers a good part of it. Even with all that real-estate, the data can be hard to read.

Possible alternatives:

Graphics instead of text. Percentages are easy, of some shape representing the item or dials or bars.

Marquee -- a smaller, one or two line app where the data scrolls across its view rather than everything needing to be shown at once.
[Android Software Development] sert00:
really nice work chain!i like it and support soon with the buy.i have 2 suggestions,and i'm happy only if you take the time to read them.

1 enable on 4+1 SoC(like tegra3)the tracking of companion core

2 gpu frequencies and fps in realtime

i think with that,this app will become surely something unique and special,considering how great is already!thanks!

Hi men.

I see,it is possible to do that,it is someone present who knows how to.

I want to create a network monitor graph,that should be overlayed in a same way as this.

Can yo please share simple sample zip,that puts some semitransparent bitmap/drawable on the screen?

Will be very grateful.

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] Sleepy!:
Its a great app...

But my phone doesn't exactly have a lot of screen space to go around.

So I request that you add some options.

Like displaying all the info you choose... CPU/MemIO/Network IO/App monitor... any one of these in a single line... or straight up in status bar, like a ticker.

Or as a status bar item like in 3G watchdog or Google Now.

Hey, found an small issue at calculation when the device is overclocked, at max frequency at all cores it takes / 1.20 instead / 1.00 (in my case, because I overclocked to 1500 from 1400) at capacity so it seems it still takes 1400 as max (if I'm not wrong) (i9300 using siyah 1.7rc3), except of that, great tool :)

[Android Software Development] leongwenjun:
awesome！！！！！！！
[Android Software Development] The Broken:
Nice app, only thing I miss is some sort of help to explain the data. Like the capacity thing in the CPU overlay.
[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
Well, it is explained in the first post.
[Android Software Development] The Broken:
I know, I read that, but what about lo in the Network I/O (I guess that this is for calls and sms), and how does the divider works in the CPU overlay? I'm just saying that if you had the time and will, you could improve on that. Or maybe just add the link to this thread ;)

Maybe you, or someone else of course can explain the capacity/divider thing a bit more. Because when all 4 cores are @ 1,6 Ghz and at 100%, you could say that the capacity is 100%. But it isn't, it is 88% (with an 1.12 divider), at first I thought that this was the way to do it: 88 * 1.12 (like Chainfire sais: It's the factor between the cpu usage and cpu capacity percentages (the top two numbers)), but that doesn't make it 100% either and would be a rather odd way to calculate the capacity in my opninion.

Nevermind, I found out about the divider thing.

You see, 88 is a number between 87,5 and 88,49999999999/ and 1.12 is a number between 1.115 and 1.124999999/. If you take 88,49999999999/ and 1.124999999/ and multiply them, you get 99,56, which is rounded to 100%.
[Android Software Development] TomasNM:
I have one question for the developer.

Can you please give me the hint,how to keep such app alive all the time?

I made my graph,that is overlayed and refreshed every second.

On Gingerbread it is still running,but on Jellybean it runs for a while,then stops itself and I have to start it again.

What should I include in the code?

Thank you.

Play store ratings nag

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION], could you please remove your Play store ratings nag? I used to like to rate apps, but I won't sign up for Google+, which means your nag will remain forever even though I've contributed to you. Please don't respond that it only comes up occasionally, just please remove it. And yes, some fanboys might swoop in here like avenging angels to support you and say they don't mind. But I'm a fanboy who supports you, and I'm asking you to please at least make the nag opt-in. Then you'll see how many people actually want it. But I'm also not asking for a vote: just please stop nagging people who don't want to be nagged and let the people who want it opt in. I would like to give you the good ratings you deserve, but as it stands the ratings nag is just a nuisance that pressures us on behalf of Google plus.
[Android Software Development] baileyjr:
@ Chainfire. Is it possible you could add "small app" support for sony xperia devices?

The small apps work in the same way as your app, ie as a floating window, but your app must have "small app support" for it to be started from the small app menu on the sony devices.

It not a huge deal, as it can be started from a normal app icon anyway, I just think this would be a nice additional feature :good:

Abandoned project?

On Android 5 there is always "Google Search" shown as foreground app. Even if I kill it and run a different launcher :(
[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
They killed the API used to find the foreground app... not sure if I can workaround it. But yes, I have higher priority fixes for other apps at the moment.
