[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totallyfukt:
Hi guys,

I've just made the switch from iPhone to the Galaxy SIII and am loving the ride so far. I'm a big fan of the old school type games and have been reading up on how to play them on my new phone. Dosbox Turbo is the way forward I believe! So, I've downloaded the program as well as the manager. But I have one problem. How do I get games from my Mac (or PC) to work on Dosbox. As in, do I just hook up my phone and move the games into a created folder on it? Is it that simple? Also, what files does dosbox need to read? The ISO? As you can see I'm a complete noob in regards to anything Android currently and any information or a tutorial would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

DosBox Turbo Getting Started FAQ

If you've never used DosBox before, you should also read the DosBox Getting Started Wiki

Basically, you get the DOS games you want from the internet (GOG, etc) and then unzip and download to a folder on your SD card on your Android Device. Then using DosBox Turbo (or better yet, use the DosBox Manager and create a profile) start your game. Be aware that you may have to run the game's setup.exe utility to change the game's parameters.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totallyfukt:
Cheers for the reply. A follow up question though. Do you need an SD Card to run the dosbox games or can you use the phones internal memory? Also, if I have the original disc of the game I want to run (I've checked on dosbox to see if its compatible) can I just copy all the files from the disc and use those to run the game(s)?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totallyfukt:
Ok, so I have been reading up on DosBox and have tried installing and running a couple of games with little success. I thought if I tried running it on my mac first and then moving the files over to my phone once successful would be the best bet but I am still yet to get a game to work on my mac! Bah...

I've done a little hunting for DosBox Turbo guides and or videos but they seem to be very limited. I've also tried contacting the Dev but have had no reply in a week which a little annoying. Sorry to ask again but does anyone know of a tutorial I could follow to install a game via DosBox Turbo so I can follow and learn from it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gururise:
DosBox requires significant setup, and if you are a noob, you should also read the DosBox Wiki. Once you get DosBox Turbo setup properly, it works like a charm.

Here's a video on how to use the excellent DosBox Manager add-on. Here's a video on how to setup and use the Gamepad Keyboard.

Contact the dev again. He may have missed your e-mail. I'm sure he's getting many e-mails a day. He's always replied back to me quickly.

Links:

Free version in Google Play

Pro version in Google Play

There are already a bunch of apps in Google Play for reducing the size of photos for emailing. The one that I tried required many extra taps: select share, then select the app, then choose the reduce, then choose a resolution, then select share again. And it didn't respect photo orientations. Plus it had ads. I wanted something that doesn't require any extra taps over and beyond normal emailing. Plus something simple, small (35K!), and with no ads in ordinary use (the Options do have a link to the Pro version, but the Options doesn't show up in normal use, only when you want to customize the resolution).

There is source code (BSD license). It's very simple. From Gallery or Camera, when sharing a photo, just choose "Send Reduced" and it'll send it reduced to a size that fits in a 1024x1024 square (you can run SendReduced from your launcher to adjust this resolution). The first time you run it, you'll need to select which email app to use. There should be a checkmark to make this setting permanent, so that next time you just choose "Send Reduced" when sharing a photo it should just go straight through to your email app, and so it won't take any more taps than just sharing a photo normally.

You can also use SendReduced to attach a reduced photo. Just choose "Get Reduced Photo" when attaching (I only tested in gmail). Then choose Gallery as your picker, and set the checkmark so next time you won't be asked.

The Pro version lets you include some EXIF data and control the filenames of the reduced version. Try the free version before buying the pro, or just keep using the free version (or build the pro version from source, if fancy so takes you).

Needs Android 2.0.
[Android Apps and Games] Saketme:
Sounds handy. Downloading it now :)

*EDIT*: Crashes on my Galaxy S III (Stock Android 4.1.2) :(
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
1. How did you invoke it? Were in you in Gallery and did you press Share, or were you in an email app and chose Attach?

2. Any chance of sending me a log? If your device is rooted, you can get catlog from Google Play and send me (arpruss at gmail dot com) a log right after the crash.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I caught a crash bug, maybe the same one you had. You can download 0.02 which should be much better.
[Android Apps and Games] curl66:
Great! Thanks! Works fine on CM10 on i9000 :D
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
Just posted 0.04 which cleans up the cache every two days (only if you use SendReduced--I don't want to set up another background alarm!).
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
And uploaded to Google Play.
[Android Apps and Games] baal77:
The perfect app I was looking for. Now in my Xperia S !!

Two requests for next versions if possible :

- Possible to keep the EXIF infos of the original picture ?

- Possible to keep the filname of the orginal picture followed by a suffix ("IMG5418-small.jpg" for exemple) ?

For the rest... easier than your app is impossible.

Thank you.

Fred.
[Android Apps and Games] un4seen:
I like it, simple and effective.

If you take suggestions, it would be awesome if the intent worked for MMS. My operator limits multimedia messages to 300kB (as do many european operators), so sending a picture is impossible in a hurry, and this thing would be very handy every time I have to send a picture to someone without mobile email access.
[Android Apps and Games] Saketme:
Hi really sorry for not replying. The app now works perfectly on my Galaxy S3 (Android 4.1.2) as well as Nexus 4 (Android 4.2.1). The app is perfect and works as advertised. But there's a *smaaalll* thing that needs to be improved — it's just too simple.

For new users, how are they going to know the procedure to resize images? Some people might try to search for an open image button in your app. Let them know that they need to share an image with SendReduced.

Also, after resizing is complete, SendReduced should offer various apps to share the photo with instead of asking for the default app to open it. I might not always use the same app to share the resized image, right?

Overall, great work! I was searching for an app like this. Please do the changes and I'll be more than happy to cover it in my blog :)

[Android Apps and Games] mik101:
x2... Thank you very much. I've long wondered why this wasn't included in android in a convenient way like this. It's a pain to have to edit everything before I send. :)
[Android Apps and Games] kavuraki:
That's really what I've been looking for a long time. Many thanks. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
Well, they can read the Google Play description. :)

Actually, I wrote SendReduced for myself in part to remove the need for the extra tap to select an app to share with.

But if you do want to share with different apps at different times, just don't check the checkmark for setting a default app.

By the way, the version in Google Play should clean up the cache when you share or when you run the app (it will delete all entries that have been in the cache two days or more; I don't want to delete newer things, because maybe you're traveling and reception is bad and the email app still hasn't managed to send your picture).
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
Can you have any photos to share when the SD is unmounted? Or do some apps hold the photos in internal storage?
[Android Apps and Games] berainxda:
Reduce multiple selected images

arpuss,

Thanks for releasing this brilliant app. I love how it does its job nicely and silently and just gets out of the way.

However, I noticed that this app only works against one image at a time. Have you considered allowing this app to work against multiple selected images? At least on the "send reduced" side. Perhaps the "get reduced" side it makes sense to keep it to a single image. The use case I'm thinking of is selecting 2 or 3 images from the gallery and sending to someone via gmail app. Instead of this being seamless and easy it takes multiple separate "get reduced" actions to do this currently.

Anyway, not complaining but think this would be a great add. May look at this myself but not really familiar with Java or Android development.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I posted a new version that supports sending multiple photos at once.
[Android Apps and Games] nor-ric:
It crashes on htc one s, as soon as I share a picture to "SendReduced". :(
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
If you have root or a pre-JB system, send me (arpruss@gmail.com) a log via catlog after the crash.
[Android Apps and Games] nor-ric:
I'm on stock rooted ICS 4.0.4. I've just noticed the crash only happens if 3072 is chosen as resolution. Also, the app doesn't provide the option to send via mms: is this normal?

Thanks!

Edit: catlog sent with PM.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
Do you mean: when you use 3072 as the photo resolution in the camera?

The log gives an out of memory error. I am guessing that for some reason the photo is too big for my code process. I don't know why at present.
[Android Apps and Games] nor-ric:
I mean when I choose 3072 in your app, not in the camera. The photo to be shrunken is a 2.6mb 3200x1800photo.

And about the mms: is it by design that the app doesn't offer to share the shrunken photo via mms?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
Probably 3072 takes too much memory. I should remove that option.

I don't know why mms isn't an output option.
[Android Apps and Games] TaylorN:
such a much needed application for android!

"Hey son, why can I only attach 3 files at a time to an email"

[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I just posted 0.07 to Google Play, including both a free and a pro version. The pro version lets you include some exif data and control the filename.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
And I've just posted 0.08 which should fix some out-of-memory issues.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I posted 0.11 with a few fixes:

- Android 6 gmail compatibility option

- Restored ability to set send app forever
[Android Apps and Games] AceIIxUser#524:
[MENTION=2714177]arpruss[/MENTION]: I'd like to change the "sharing destination" I've been using after reducing size... there seems to be a checkbox to save it (which I guess I checked in the past), but I can't find a way to reset it, including looking at the xml preferences.

Is there a way?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
Go to system app settings, choose the app you set to send the photos, and choose "Clear defaults".
[Android Apps and Games] AceIIxUser#524:
Thanks, that's exactly what I needed! I had never noticed that setting.
[Android Apps and Games] arpruss:
I have updated Send Reduced to work with Android 10 and up. And the source code has been updated to work with Android Studio, finally. The APK is still less than 50K.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jazee:
Maybe someone can throw a new guy a bone here? ....

One thing I had on my jailbroken iPhone was free tethering. My Xfinity went down the other day and I realized I couldn't tether my new Android without paying AT$T. So from what I understand, like the iPhone I need to root it and then download a third party tethering app?

If I root now, I'll probably be tempted to give Black Jelly or Frost ROMs a try. I know with this 'Odin' program or 'Nandroid' backup with CWP (still figuring all this out) I can switch between ROMS pretty easily. It takes me about an hour though to download all my apps and reconfig my phone after a reset though. I think Titanium backup or something solves this, but seems to me using something like that with custom ROM, as opposed to a 'clean' install and just start installing/configuring from scratch may pose higher risk of having issues?

So my question is, if I root and install custom ROM, how hard is it to get the official update installed, or any more official future updates installed if I decide I don't want to stay on a custom ROM?

Being an experimental person and my first time to Android, I'm sure I'm going to eventually cave (for sure root) and try a custom ROM. I see SO many posts though in these ROM forums with all sorts of little issues. I want to go back to stock and get official updates if I need to.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arse87zx:
When the official jb drops there will most likely be some debloated version on here in a day or so. If you're rooted with a custom recovery it will take no time to install. I would also seriously consider titanium backup, it makes the process much easier.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skeltonh:
OTA after Rooting - Yes and No....

There are two issues you mention: 1) Having a custom ROM and doing an Custom OTA, and 2) OTA with stock ROM and after you you have rooted your phone.

Stock ROM and OTA after Rooting

In times past, there have been vendors that look for rooting and refused to OTA the phone. Citing it violated warantee, contract, whatever. AT&T use to do it, but with current ROMs, especially with the S3, they simply turn off the SUID bit on /system/xbin/su during the update.(They turn off the Root modification, of sorts). The current OTA of 4.0.4 does this trick. Making near impossible to root afterwards.

Usually it is always best to flash back to stock to insure you get a clean OTA.

Some versions of rooting will allow you to keep root even after OTA, but I would not count on it.

The other issue that some forget is any modification to the ROM may trip a counter which may cause OTA's to fail. In the S3 there is a counter on how many times the ROM has been flashed by custom software. Once it is tripped, any warantee you have on the device is voided. You can see the information when you set your phone into flash mode.

There are programs to reset the counter, and other methods, but it gets pretty ugly and you can hard brick your phone in some cases. Just use them with care.

Custom ROM and OTA after Rooting

With custom ROM's rooting is the norm. OTA's will usually not affect them. In fact some OTA's will include updated 'su' programs. There are some custom ROM's that are not able to OTA.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jazee:
So it sounds to me like if I plan on rooting to get the free tethering, I should always wait until there's a stock ROM available here and manually install it? That way, I don't lose my root and I don't increase the counter unnecessarily?

Thanks for your help.

Some of the visible rays, which remain striking the subject are changed to longer, all reflected light that we can see with the naked eye represents a fractional portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which is infinite. We refer to this section as "visible light". All around us, there are light rays that cannot be detected by the human retina, such as ultraviolet and infrared radiation.

Hi,

First off, I would like to apologize if this is asked before.

I am a HTC Sensation XE user and is transferring to Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

I would like to explain and ask,

I have my memory card from HTC Sensation XE and I used it for my Samsung Galaxy Note 2, I had an idea to download my TB from my Note 2 and use the backup from my TB HTC Sensation XE. After opening TB in my Note 2 hoping to see the back-ups from my HTC Sensation XE TB.. there was none.

So.. is there a possible solution to transfer my TB back-up (HTC Sensation XE) and TB restore it to my Galaxy Note 2?

(I tried the update.zip and successfully restored everything but everything force closes. I tried wiping dalvik cache/cache, fixing permissions and still FC still happens.)

Any suggestions?
