[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilsocket:
Hi there, i have an android app which spawns many native executables dinamically linked with libraries i distribute with the package. To launch those binaries, i use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to make them aware of the place to load the libraries from, but on some devices this doesn't work at all, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is correctly updated but the binary fails to find the library anyway. This is not something i can reproduce because on my two devices ( Galaxy Nexus & Nexus 7 with stock roms ) it just works fine.

I tried many ways, for instance i spawn:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/my/package/custom/libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH && cd /binary/directory && ./binary

And :

String[] envp = { "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=" + libPath + ":$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" };

Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( "su", envp );

writer = new DataOutputStream( process.getOutputStream() );
reader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( process.getInputStream() ) );

writer.writeBytes( "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=" + libPath + ":$LD_LIBRARY_PATH\n" );
writer.flush();

But on those devices nothing seemed to work ... so i'm starting to think that this is a kernel related issue, some kernels ( like mine ) use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, other kernels don't ( simply ignore it, or they're using just the LD_LIBRARY_PATH that was set on application startup, therefore there's no way to change it at runtime ).

I also tried to use System.load but it didn't work, probably because those libs are not JNI ... is there something i could try before starting to think about using statically linked binaries ?

Hello fellow androidians, eh!

I am a self employed contractor, just wonder if anyone has any insight in which apps for invoicing and receipts are the most pratical and reliable, I already have mobilebiz apk but would like a app that I can both invoice and keep track of my expenses. Any advise would be much appreciated.

( Don't ask me for help, as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!!!)
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
I too am (mostly) a self-employed contractor. I use Expensify usually. It's honestly a tad complicated to get started with, but once you get used it it, it's a breeze. And the developer is VERY easy to contact, they will personally help you by email if you need anything. The big plus for me with this app is their app is very integrated with their web interface. So I can use the app on the road or in the field, upload a receipt immediately, and then categorize or split it later with a pc. And I use it mainly for tax write-offs, at the end of the year you can print a summary of each "category" and it will print with a list of all the expenses and with pics of each receipt at the bottom.
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
Thanx, I'll give it a try. Just wish I could find a program like quickbooks both invoicing and expenses all together

[Motorola Droid RAZR] p_vhd:
Hello everyone.

I've recently upgraded my Gingerbread-Based RAZR to ICS. My Rom is middle eastern version by the way.

Everything seems fine except the problem I have with the touch in the Internet browser and Facebook. when I touch a search result in the browser or a picture in Facebook for example, an orange frame appears somewhere else and navigates me to some other link or picture! The thing is, when I hold my finger on the result/picture I tend to open, the orange frame comes to where it should be and the correct link/picture will be opened.This problem only happens with apps related to the internet, and the touch works perfectly fine in any other apps/environments.

I made a factory reset and installed miui rom on my Razr, and no matter how lovely the Miui theme is, the results are the same.

Does anyone else have had a similar issue? Any ideas what should I do?

I have attached a screenshot. Maybe it clarifies my problem.

Thanks

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XenomorphXx121:
Please help.

Is there anywhere in this forum that gives a simple explanation as to what each Rom does and what are the advantages that they give if you flash them?

I've looked through the development forum and there isn't much information given for a newbie like myself that wants to try romming my s3, well if there is I can't really find it cause each topic about the roms I've read don't exactly say what they do.

It would be great if there was a list explaining all the roms with links to each one and why they'd be useful.

Forgive me if this post seems silly and there is such a topic and I'm just babbling on cause I've looked and have no idea which Rom would come in handy for me cause I'm completely lost.

I'm amazed at what these android phones can do but really really lost and want to learn and maybe make my own themes as I'm a digital artist and would love to make original themes that people would like, but that's another thing I'll learn about in time.

For now I'd love to learn about roms.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XenomorphXx121:
Guess I'll try to figure it out myself, ah well I'll get there....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewAussiefromCanada:
Can't say that there is a thread for what you are looking for but I can say it doesnt hurt to just try them. See which works best for what you are doing and wanting. It is very subjective.

I personally make use of omega and love it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
Well I think there's a sticky somewhere in the forum listing all the roms for i9300.

They generally give description of what they offer, but generally sammy based roms rids any bloatware, adds in their tweaks, whereas aosp based roms are missing the sammy functions.

I suggest you have a go at each rom. Just do a nand backup of original and flash the different roms. Doesn't really take that long.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

If you are too newbie to understand what each ROM does or not... don't flash anything, keep your stock ROM.

Read the OP (the first post of the thread) of each ROM and read the descriptions, features, changelog... if there anything you don't understand... maybe Google can help you...

You need to learn a little by yourself... and right, I agree, try som ROM by yourself, test, see, etc... you'll see faster by yourself than asking here wich ROM have this or that or don't have this or that, do this or that or don't do this or that, etc... and no, there is not a stickie wich explain each ROM function, feature, etc...(it's in the OP of each ROM->READ or wich ROM is made for you, we are on XDA developpers... (!?!).

Test, test, test... and test (after reading) by yourself, it's how you'll learn. Backup your current ROM, flash, test then if you are not happy... flash another ROM, test... etc....

But since you you opened a thread... maybe a specific term or feature you don't understand?

I hope this thread will not going to finish in a "wich is the best ROM" thread...

:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XenomorphXx121:
Thanks for your replies, not much of a learning curve in here for people that really want to learn and the explanations on the first page of each thread doesn't really give a good description of what they do.

I'm all for these roms and think it's great that the developers here can take something and improve on it to give it better performance and have something for everyone.

It wouldn't really hurt though if there was such a thread that each developer of their roms could give a small description of what they do, it would be a very helpful thread and would cut down on people bricking or messing up their mobiles.

Really think a thread like this is needed here, well it's just a suggestion.

I've been to each thread and read what it says but can't really find easy to read descriptions anywhere.

Think I'll try the omega as that's been mentioned twice to me so must be good.

Anyways I think the developers here do amazing things to android phones and it's opened up a new world to me which I really want to be part of.

Good day to you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Re,

For example, what do you not understand here (from Omega ROM, I take the first):

All is detailed and explained, right? If there is something you don't understand... Google-it or ask here for a specific term... You realy need to search and read a little by yourself... If we have to explain each lines...:eek:

I agree for a newbie, maybe, deodexed or zipaligned is not very evident... but... Google is your friend ;)

The devs explain the features of their ROM (like a kernel) but it's also to the user to make an effort in reading, searching, understanding and learning (a minimum). The devs can't be behind each user to explain everything to them and teach them or to flash their ROM in place of the user because the user know nothing or he won't read and search. There are other members to help of course, but there is also a responsibility of the user...

:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Its been said for any flashing if you cannot understand the very basics like read and search then you are likely to brick your phone .

Every rom has details in the first and second posts as shown above .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XenomorphXx121:
Yeah you're right I'm so used to symbian and using software and firmware which wasn't open as much as android is and when I first visited the developers section was a bit overwhelmed by it all, had my phone not even 3 weeks and learned about rooting, changing firmware, modifying games and now onto roms.

Will read up on Google what things like bloatware and kernel means.

Was interested in a Rom that allows to use my external to add apps and something with better battery performance.

I'll learn in time, bit cautious about adding roms cause of deleting all my data cause last time I tried nandroid I couldn't get all my data back it didn't work and when tried to get back my sd data from the toolkit the data went back but none of the apps showed up and it said that I had used memory putting it there.

I'm not going to install any roms till I get a better understanding of them, I like to learn about things before jumping in.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Re,

This! Very good thought ;)

You'll see that with all good reading you get there and you will learn mostly ;), a bit of search and you're good to go! :)

In any case, if you do not understand some specific terms, there will always be someone to answer you here, I mean here in your thread...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XenomorphXx121:
So is nandroid best for backing up my phone before I have a go at roms and does it save ALL my apps and data cause this information I couldn't find on Google wasn't very specific what it backs up
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Re,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1927113 , needs to read but it's usefull :)

Yes a Nandroid backup is like an "image" in windows, total back-up except modem and internal/external SD Card (****!, don't remember for the kernel, I think no, need confirmation). All is like at the moment when you do the back-up (apps, settings, SMS, data apps, etc...).

According you're rooted...

I hope I forgot nothing...

:)

EDIT: like slaphead20 said, I totaly agree (but don't speak him about efs: too early, hum I'm just kidding, it's the right way, maily about the efs folder), in nay case Nandroid back-up first, it will save you if something goes wrong...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Yes it is, and if things go wrong you will restore your phone to the exact point you backed it up.

Use k tools(play store) to back up your efs, and copy that to pc.

You have the right attitude, take your time and learn, don't be afraid to ask......I lurked on XDA for 3 months before even joining!

Enjoy and all the best, any questions you can also try asking over in the general thread in general, it's a safe place to ask anything, but do try and find solutions first with search ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XenomorphXx121:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dox.c:
Hello,

I own a 2 yrs+ old samsung i9000, which for the last month was my 2nd phone, when i started playing with roms and all the great stuff one can find in this forum (before was my work phone, i could not risk to brick it). Anyway, it’s rooted, unlocked, CM 9.1 , I9000XXJVU baseband, Devil's kernel

Problem is, sometimes randomly when someone is trying to call me, the phone doesn’t react, no ringtone, notification or entry in missing calls log. On the caller side everything is normal, rings few times after that the voicemail starts. It’s very hard to reproduce the problem, seems totaly random, and is not carrier related.

I know, the quick answer is “go back to gingerbread” but what i need are some suggestions from where to start trying to find a solution; i should try new modems? or maybe phone.apk is damaged (sometimes says it stops working after i end a call). I will provide all the details needed, thanks in advance
