Don't use the 'zoom'

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] discopunkk:
The best apps that I think produce good quality pics with the Gnex camera are Vignette and HDR Camera+. Honestly I don't ever use the stock camera because I feel they produce the worst pics.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donchele:
I mentioned the toolkit because I saw an option there, so... Im pretty ****ed right? LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
the camera is awesome. you probably need to learn how to use it correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ieatnoobs:
I think it is pretty decent. Again I don't compare pics with other phone because missing a few pixels isn't going to make huge difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
Beats, and I mean beats the **** out of my Thunderbolt's 8MP camera. Low light, lots of light, magic, doesn't matter, Nexus wins every time.

Magic doesn't exist, just making my sanity clear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanprudent:
I have found that the gnexus camera out performs my HTC sensation , lumia 800 iPhone 4s when it comes to low light pictures. They come out a lot less blurred and precise than the other phones. Day photos are perfectly good for a mobile phone. Want an amazing camera buy a SLR , Facebook photos it does just fine

Hi I want to learn all about making themes for Android roms please point me in the right direction to find easy learning guides using windows 7 to theme on jellybean and ICS and gingerbread thanks
[Android] keenofhiphop:
do you want to make cm7/cm9/10- themes or flashable themes? if yes, you have to dwcompile the apks and mod them how you want... i dont know more at the moment, im also searching a good tutorial (at the end i will probably find it out by trying^^).

If you wanna make flashable zips for gingerbread roms use uot kitchen,.its easy and makes fun, legends say it can also make cm7 themes but i couldnt create one till now... for uot you only have to extract two files out of your rom, systemui out of /system/app and frameworkres out of /system/framework

maybe start over with that :)

Hi thanks I want to make flashable themes for gingerbread what it uot kitchen and where can I learn how to use it
[Android] keenofhiphop:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=990829

that is the official thread with tutorial, its easy just type uot in google, you will find the site, click on "kitchen" and choose and customize your mods, then go to "upload files" (can do this first to save time) and choose "upload system apps", then upload em and click on "summary", if all mods are green click on "cook" and wait, you will get a code (you only need it if somethings not workin).

then you can download it after ~20-30 minutes from "pickup", you can also do that from your phone :), then flash via cwm and enjoy

I understand new users can be annoying, but this... I mean really? Do the administrators of this site think they are running the only technology-related forum on the internet? Is it impossible to believe someone may already be familiar with common-sense forum etiquette? That maybe someone already has experience and knows how to solve their own problems without spamming and general noobery? And what makes them assume I'm asking a question? After months of lurking I found a ROM I liked enough that I decided to actually register, just to thank the author and report some minor graphical and performance issues. But apparently this website is absolutely certain I'm just a noob trying to ask a stupid question, so I'm forced to generate ten posts of spam before I can actually contribute... as some sort of way to prevent spam? Am I the only one who sees this as being completely pointless and counter-productive?

Oh and yes, this thread is full of (rhetorical)questions! But I'm afraid of what further condescending and presumptuous harassment will ensue from checking the box.

[Galaxy Note II General] Psytechnic:
I've been playing with this phone non - stop now and I've found some interesting features that I haven't seen documented in any manual or guide , so I thought I'd share my findings with you all.

Alternate Menu / Back control with S-Pen :

Instead of drawing a backwards arrow or an upwards arrow while holding the button to activate back or menu, you can hold the button and swipe down from about an inch above either capacitive key (near the edge of the screen) to get the same effect.

Expand /Collapse Categories

I've found that in the e-mail client, you can expand and collapse the subsections of the main window by using two fingers to rotate clockwise (like spinning the compass direction in google maps) on the screen.

I don't know if these are shared functions with the original Note or if these have been documented somewhere but I've just missed it

Have you found any interesting undocumented features that you would I like to share?
[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
When holding with one hand,press your Thumb in the middle of the screen and move it slowly all the way upwords in a loop,that will zoom out the home pages just like pinching.
[Galaxy Note II General] Goodm7sn:
When in a full screen mode (any app) swipe down quickly (from the outside of the screen) to toggle notification bar.

Only works if u swipe fast, slow won't activate it.

[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
ok...am sharing this work I found on another forum. I tried it on a Samsung and it worked. Basically *some* of these animations are working.

Files you Need -

1. The zip file linked at point 2 of How to

2. A Decompiling-recompiling tool and some know-how to do the same.

How To -

1. Decompile framework-res.apk (I use 10studio by diamondback, use the one you feel comfortable in)

2. download this file ---> http://www.mediafire.com/?w0715lo28q9ghy4.

3. unzip and copy & replace the files @ /res/anim

4. open /res/values/integres.xml file and do these --->

a. find these (generally at the very top) -

<integer name="config_shortAnimTime">[B]150[/B]</integer>
<integer name="config_mediumAnimTime">[B]300[/B]</integer>
<integer name="config_longAnimTime">[B]400[/B]</integer>

now increase the "numeric values". those are the stipulated time for which the animations occur.

i use the following to get the attached video:

<integer name="config_shortAnimTime">[B]300[/B]</integer>
<integer name="config_mediumAnimTime">[B]600[/B]</integer>
<integer name="config_longAnimTime">[B]800[/B]</integer>

b. now add these --> two lines :

<integer name="config_activityShortDur">300</integer>
<integer name="config_activityDefaultDur">440</integer>

compile, push and enjoy :)

here is a video showing the animations. note, it ain't as "full" as the ICS transitions port, but still, as we know, something is better than nothing ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prindone3:
Hi, i soft bricked my gs3 on verizon today and am freaking out. I only have a mac and since this is the USA version of the phone i can't find the images anywhere. I don't know how to use heimdall or any of that, and i can only get the phone into download mode. Can someone walk me through how to fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] (Jason):
Google the vzw message that pops up, there is a tutorial out there on how to use odin to get it done. Heimdall doesnt really work out of the box, so to speak. You will need to install virtualbox and a "trial" version of windows 7 in order to use odin. Follow the tutorial that u find in the web search, it provides all the files and ODIN3 is very easy to use. I will post a link for you tomorrow to the tutorial. I soft bricked mine trying to OTA with a custom kernel. :-\ so i know this method works for sure. Good luck and bump this thread with any questions you have and I'll try to help.

Tapped² from my I5³5
[Android Themes] :
So I was compiling my theme using Tickle My Android 4.3 and came across these errors:

c:\TickleMyAndroid\_working\mint.apk\res\values\public.xml:425: error: Public symbol drawable/com_android_aokp_settings_stat_sys_battery_circle_17 declared here is not defined.
c:\TickleMyAndroid\_working\mint.apk\res\values\public.xml:426: error: Public symbol drawable/com_android_aokp_settings_stat_sys_battery_circle_18 declared here is not defined.
c:\TickleMyAndroid\_working\mint.apk\res\values\public.xml:427: error: Public symbol drawable/com_android_aokp_settings_stat_sys_battery_circle_19 declared here is not defined.

This is repeated for all 100 images of com_android_aokp_settings_stat_sys_battery_circle_xxx.png

The battery circles are clearly present in the right directory with the right name too.

Any help would be much much appreciated. My theme is almost completed.
[Android Themes] zelendel:
Fix the .9 error first. It says you have a space in the bottom of the dot nine PNG.

Sent from Arkham
[Android Themes] :
I checked. There seems to be no space. The border has the black pixels needed for resizing.

If you mean space by the pink part I've highlighted,

I'll go on to fixing that.

Edit: Could it be that the compiler is mistaking the bottom lining of my green button, which is dark dark olive, almost black in colour for the supposed black .9 patches and thinking that the space beyond them is transparent, generating the error?
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
Select your bottom patch guide, cut and fill with black 000000 do that for all the offending images. It may look like its all black but pixel 90 isn't...usually a result of having your 9patches on a separate layer and some stray shading on your main image from a drop shadow or something...then when you merge it affects your 9patches without you noticing.

The public errors just delete public.xml it gets rebuilt when compiling.
[Android Themes] :
Anyone know what's causing them? This is the only thing i need to clear for completion
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
The errors are all relating to drawable xmls and its saying the resources can't be found so for example

com_android_systemui_notification_background_pressed

Do you have a drawable named like that? The error suggests you don't. If you don't you'd need to either add the image/s named accordingly, or if you already have the image/s change the names, or edit the image names in the xmls in drawable accordingly. Hope that makes sense.

When you get 9.pngs errors fix them first, so with the above log, fix that remaining 9.png error and try again... other errors can be as a result of them and not actual errors, it sort of throws the process out of sync.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] peekeesh:
Anyone has any issues with the image gallery's performance? every time i open the gallery, it takes a while, say a minute, before the albums show up. Sometimes they don't show up at all.

I have synced FB albums and Picasa albums. I'm not sure if that's what's causing the slow performance though.i'll be unsyncing those albums soon so hopefully that fixes the problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] afr33s:
Getting this too on my stock (International) Note 2.

Very annoying.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dc13:
im thinking its the synced stuff. its getting annoying. still trying to find out why. but i do think its cause of sync
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] peekeesh:
yes it is caused by the synced stuff. I removed fb albums by removing fb account and adding it back in without syncing the pic gallery. it was fixed after that.

it's nice to have them synced albums. so hopefully this will be fixed in the future.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] juanyunis:
Well, I've fixed the problem on easier way, instead of remove the Facebook account just enter on the sync settings, and deselect the sync gallery option, enter the gallery, the first time is going to be slow, but next time is going to load faster.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingdazy:
Something to try is "quickpic" from the market. Fast, functional, free. None of the syncing crap though.

I never looked back after using it.

Sent from my calculator watch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mitchellvii:
Make sure you don't have any images being synced through Dropbox that the Gallery is looking for. Can really slow the things down. Rather than sync your phone through Dropbox better to perform manual syncs using DropSync.

If eliminating your Dropbox sync doesn't solve the problem go through your images and make sure nothing is corrupted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rawdikrik:
I have Facebook set to not sync images, but it continues to do so. I cant get it to stop syncing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revs9k01:
Remove the account then uninstall the app while clearing the data. Install it back and set it up without the galery sync or let it sync once then remove.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
Had the same issue and turning off dropbox sync fixed it...My facebook photos appear to be syncing without issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] txjrshark:
I fixed it by just removing the sync in my Google account. It was syncing ALL my photos. Google back up, drive and Picassa. I also unchecked Uploading.:cyclops:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] budde2:
Yeah this was talked about in a few different threads when the update was first released that is rhe only fix that I know of. Unsyncing Picasa and dropbox all of them
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mustang46L:
So I've had some luck with removing Facebook and Picasa sync, but only inside the Gallery app itself. My issue is when using a 3rd party app to upload a photo already taken (Messaging, Facebook, Untappd) and the Gallery could take 10 minutes to load so I am almost always forced to take a new photo instead of uploading the one that I wanted to upload. Anyone figure out what is actually causing this issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] budde2:
Turn on sync and go to settings and account Google account click email and un check everything todo with a pic. Than do the same in the Facebook app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 0ptimus82:
My MicroSD was needing maintenance

In my case, the gallery slow performance was announcing that something was wrong with my micro SD card, I just formatted it using HP USB Disk Storage Tool disabling quick format and it resolved the issue, I copied back all my files and now the cell phone is working perfectly.

I hope it helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cyrilreal:
The KitKat upgrade was maybe the only TRUE improvement on my S4... With JB, the gallery was a PITA, even with syncing disabled !

Hi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Resperith:
I was running on 2.15 of Paranoid android just fine on my i535.

But I tried to update to 2.51, and it was also working just fine, except for some screen glitches.

However, because of these screen glitches, I flashed MIUI, to find that I could not get past the activation menu.

So I tried some other roms, including AOKP and 2.50 of ParanoidAndroid.

For some reason, I am unable to get past activation on any of these roms.

Does anybody here possibly have any idea what could be going on?

Thanks ahead of time. :]
