[General Questions and Answers] MASHAK:
Hello,

I apologize for the wide broadcast as I don't have the priviliage of directing my Q to Android-Samsung-S3-Developer's forum.

Background:

Using ASOP 4.1.1_r4 I have been able to extend the Wifi services, framework, wpa-supplicant, and WifiManager API and successfully (developing on a Ubuntu-12.04-LTS/64bit) update the firmware of a GalaxyNexus phone and use the new SDK with my diagnostics application.

Problem:

Due to project erquiremnets I need to repeat the process on Samsung S3, however

after successfully building the (GT-I9300, update 6) Samsung-Open-Source Kernel, also building the ASOP 4.1.1_r4 (after applying the Samung-Framework-delta), and using Android-Kitchen

to create and MD5 the tar ball, and after updating the S3 (via Odin 3.7) the handset hangs. Fortunately I can recover it with the stock-firmware available.

Please note that I only replace system.img (user-data, cache, modem.bin are from stock firmware). No PIT file is used in ODIN3.7, and "Re-Partition" is not enabled.

I would appreciate any assistance in the following:

a) I can unpack system.img built from ASOP and packed by mkyaffs2image tool (via unyaffs2 with chunck-size of 2048 and spare-size of 64) however I can not do so with the stock-firmware system.img file.

My own system.img is around 200M, however the stock system.img is more that 1G. Any ideas? Thank you.

b) Can you point me to a how-to guide on building S3 image from ASOP source, packaging it via Android-Kitchen and uploading it via ODIN?

Thank you very much and I apologize for the lenght of my posting.

Regards,

-MASHAK

Android saved my photos phone memory (sd card). I need to change taken photograps to external sd card. How am i do this?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] farizzed:
Swap your SD card storage

CM10 camera usually put taken photos on SD card, but you can swap between SD card and Ext SD card, then so after swapped, CM10 will automatically put your taken photos on your Ext-SD card. Refer to this page on how to swap CM 10.

Could this be possible? I though you can not use USB and charge the tablet both at the same time!

http://www.amazon.com/Port-Charger-Samsung-Galaxy-N8000/dp/B0096JSFIK/ref=pd_sim_e_24

Happy to try this out, unless any of you have already tried it and can confirm this to be a hoax.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] HasC:
Don't do it! I bought one of these and it did not work, had to raise a dispute on ebay about the buyer after which a replacement was sent. The replacement did not work either. It does not recognise usb sticks neither does it charge as advertised.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Beards:
SNAP..... I too have one of these and they are useless.

After I contacted the Ebay UK seller he wanted me to first take a video showing the item not working?????

When I said no I'll send it back, he then wanted me to send another video showing me cutting the cables and destroying it before they refunded my money.

This dragged on for a good few days and to be frank for £4.50 I simply lost interest.

Negative Feedback left.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] HasC:
I think we must have brought from the same seller, he told me to do the same. I sent him pics of it not working and he sent me another which was exactly the same, USELESS!

He also told me to destroy both of them and send him pictures as proof, could not be bothered either. My wife is able to use them as a usb hub for her mac book so I told her to use the crap with her crap as they are compatible :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Beards:
Interesting your Wife managed to get them working... How did she connect them to the MacBook?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] bluzman:
From Amazon: No 80xx mentioned in list of compatible devices.

Product Description

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Beards:
The one you have found may not list the Note 10.1 but the item both HasC and myself found and purchased from does explicitly only mentions the Note 10.1 ~ 30Pin to USB 3 Port Hub Charger Kit for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 N8010

Again to all here, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM, it will DEFINITELY FAIL.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] HasC:
She just connected the usb end into one of the usb slots and tried a flash drive and it recognised it and worked.

I have not tried it on a pc but it will probably work as well, just does not work with Note 10.1

It may also work with the normal note 10.1 but do not have or can get access to one to try it on.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Beards:
Thanks.. Just tried it on my Laptop with a USB Stick but nothing doing..... It's still as dead as a Dodo.
[Nexus 4 General] oneonezerosix:
EDITED per Admin's suggestions:

Hey xda,

I wanted to make a thread for people who are not as developer-savvy as others to share ideas and make requests for mods/roms/etc.

If a request or idea could generate enough feedback or support, developers would be more informed on what people would want or like to see.

Here are two things that I would personally like to see on my Nexus 4.

On your homescreen, when you press and hold the home button to go to Google Now, is it possible to add shortcuts and or folders to the extra space around the ring? This would allow the user to clean up some screen space by hiding frequent shortcuts.

Also, I would like to see app-specific security (pattern, pin, password) protection. This would allow a user to easily unlock their phone but still have the security they would want for their messaging, facebook, etc.

Thanks for reading.

I'll maintain this thread as best I can and put the best suggestions below.
[Nexus 4 General] oneonezerosix:
Best Ideas as of January 02, 2013

Ideas will be added to this list as support is generated.

Ideas will be removed from this list as they are developed or "worked-around."

See the post number for more details.

App-specific security (pattern, pin, password) protection. OP, #1

Simultaneously video recording with both cameras. DonDizzurp, #21

Full calculator as a lock screen widget. AlwaysDroid, #23

5 PNGs as your WiFi/Signal bars. kcls, #32

Multiwindow support. DforDesign, #41
[Nexus 4 General] phermey:
i can add the shrotcuts already in aokp. i think. gimme a sec and ill find out.

edit: yeppers. i guess this is what you are talking about. i dont use them. but i might now that you have talked about cleaning up the home screen.
[Nexus 4 General] oneonezerosix:
Thanks for looking. Is it from the homescreen or lockscreen?
[Nexus 4 General] phermey:
the pic i posted was from rom control. and in the navigation bar sub menu. where you add in more buttons and such to the homescreen navbar.
[Nexus 4 General] oneonezerosix:
Thanks again, I never tried AOKP before, but I certainly will now.
[Nexus 4 General] phermey:
i have used it for a year now. first on att gs2 and now on nexus. in my opinion... it is the supreme rom.
[Nexus 4 General] tweaked:
I don't think that XDA is here to have users make requests?

:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] oneonezerosix:
Wonderful. I'm going to get AOKP this week then. Is this exclusively on AOKP? I haven't seen it elsewhere.
[Nexus 4 General] oneonezerosix:
probably not blatantly as this thread :angel:, but people have made requests occasionally.
[Nexus 4 General] phermey:
rom control should be built into most every rom. the features they stick in rom control are different though. i would imagine they all have the navbar deal. its best to flash a rom. find its features and then wipe and add a new rom. and keep going until you find the one you like best. after you find the right one... spend the hours it takes to set up your phone the way you want. for instance.. all of this talkin has caused me to want to throw cyanogen on here to see what those guys have been up to.
[Nexus 4 General] mark manning:

XDA is a development site not a site for users to come beg with requests. If you have any doubt or are unsure of what xda is please click the link below and look at zelendel's post. Hopefully a mod locks this thread.

[Nexus 4 General] bedoig:
There's a big difference between posting direct requests in the development forums and posting a thread in the general forum for collecting ideas you think might be cool to have developed one day. There's nothing wrong with this thread and it's not bothering anybody. It's certainly more useful than the hundreds of threads that occur at every device launch complaining about one hardware defect or another. As an amateur developer I think threads like this are cool places to look for ideas that might be fun to tackle.
[Nexus 4 General] phermey:
second

except for the am dev part. i dunno devving.
[Nexus 4 General] shogunmark:
So i was browsing the thread and i came across this, and from the title alone i was ready to shut it down......

But i as i read in to it i had to change my mind. The OP is not blatantly making a request to any specific dev. They are simply stating things they would like to see. Now i know this isnt a place to make you phone look cool and i am obviously aware of the rules. But bedoig brings up a very valid point. Some of the amateur dev's might see this as an opportunity to dig in a little deeper. This is not in the development boards and no one is making a specific request from any of the dev's, so i see no reason to shut this down at this time.

However, since i do not normally moderate this board, then i welcome this boards mods _Arjen_, iridaki, eagleeyetom, YZ, TeeJay3800, Diamondback, AvRS, krook6023 to sidestep my decision if they feel the need to.

@oneonezerosix you may want to consider changing the title of your thread to something that sounds a little less demanding. The Dev's here might take it the wrong way (just a suggestion)
[Nexus 4 General] DonDizzurp:
requests? no (although ive made my share of requests)

suggestions? sure, to an extent

XDA is here FOR the developers not for the average consumer to pressure devs.

as most xda OG's would say: if you want it done, do it yourself...

if you cant.. then try to learn and get the ball rolling and a dev will probably help you along the way.
[Nexus 4 General] oneonezerosix:
After reading the post, I can understand your perspective. All that I ask is that you attempt to understand mine as well.

Zelendel stated that, "XDA is a place to come to learn and share your knowledge."

As an amateur developer, I do not know how to develop much of the things that I wish to be able to use. It was my sole intention to facilitate a discussion of new ideas for development from varying levels of skilled members. Even the best developers can dream of new mods/roms/kernels/etc that they may be unable to produce by their own means. Which is reason enough for one to want to request the assistance of others by posting in a thread like this.

If you do not see any value in this thread, then I apologize for wasting your time.
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
I am not a Dev and get offended for them when someone says "please add this".

But this is a recollection of ideas, honestly, what's wrong in that? Where would the devs be with no ideas?
[Nexus 4 General] poondog:
I agree. This is an "ideas" thread, not targeted at a specific developer. A dev may take this on board and incorporate it, as they might think its a good idea :)

Fun fact: three marks have posted in this thread :) hi
[Nexus 4 General] bedoig:
OK, back on topic. Who's got ideas?
[Nexus 4 General] DonDizzurp:
being able to simultaneously record with both cameras would be cool

unless theres already an app for that?
[Nexus 4 General] eagleeyetom:
This thread might stay - for now. XDA is not a place to make user requests, but some ideas, which may pop-up here might be pretty useful to devs. Let's give this thread some time.

@shogunmark - Welcome, sir :)
[Nexus 4 General] AlwaysDroid:
Personally I think it would be cool to have something like a full calculator , kinda like the cm10 one, as a lock screen widget that is usable without unlocking.
[Nexus 4 General] oneonezerosix:
Interesting. This would be great for vloggers to show their own facial reaction to whatever they are recording. How were you intending on using a feature like this?
[Nexus 4 General] DonDizzurp:
more a tweaker than a dev..

actually im far from a dev

just throwing it out there. vlogging was exactly what made me think of that
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
Original and very useful idea.
[Nexus 4 General] bedoig:
That's exactly the kinda small project I'm looking for. Good idea! Work is crazy these days but if I get some time I'll look into it.

Given that it will be operating as a widget (and not full screen) I'm not sure if there will be room for more than basic calculations ( + - / * ). Seems like you'd just go into the real app for anything more than quick calculations anyway though, right?
[Nexus 4 General] Quinny899:
That can be done in an app can't it, just using 4.2's lockscreen widgets
[Nexus 4 General] AlwaysDroid:
Exactly !

Basic panel would be fine.

Just for quick stuff!
[Nexus 4 General] oneonezerosix:
This is great. If you are able to produce something, please let me know and I'll include your acknowledgements in the original posts.
[Nexus 4 General] bedoig:
I've downloaded the source for the AOSP calculator (figured that would be a good starting point). Got a couple issues to iron out to get it running, then need to add a home screen widget. Should be a pretty simple project, but not sure if I'll have time to finish it anytime soon. If anybody is really interested in the idea, I'd bug the developers of some of the existing calculator widgets to add the following to the XML that specifies their appwidget-provider:

android:widgetCategory="keyguard|home_screen">

That's all that's required to get the widget to appear as available on the lock screen. Just need to make sure you have a layout that looks good on the lock screen too. Super easy to implement.
[Nexus 4 General] kcls:
If this is also got things we'd like to see in ROMs, my dream ROM feature has always been the ability to put 5 PNGs on your external storage, and then go on your phone and be able to set those PNGs as your WiFi/Signal bars. That would be incredible.

A ROM called viperROM that is popular on HTC phones had this feature, but I've never seen anything else like it on any other ROM.

Fix 4.2.1 Bluetooth. I would say roll it back to 4.1.2 but I'm not sure if that's possible since the N4 shipped with 4.2.

If you're wondering what I mean by fix just search the N4 forum for the complaints of crappy sound and incompatibility issues

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] oneonezerosix:
I think PA does this already. I'm sure CM can do it easily too.

Multiwindow support similar to note 2 but more aosp look:D Would love to be able to have this feature in my device. I'm translating a lot and jumping from one app to another is pain in the ass.

How difficult is it to get multi window running? Even on the US S3 developers havent gotten it to work...
[Nexus 4 General] DforDesign:
Im not sure but I think you can do it in nova launcher.

For now it requires some touchwiz libraries or something to work. Devs need to make it work without them or make some for other devices.
[Nexus 4 General] tatltael:
There are so many apps that can be used to password lock your applications.

Do you tried Swipepad yet works really well.
[Nexus 4 General] ran495:
hey guys, im not a dev but just like to offer some ideas.

-customizable quick settings! currently they're locked in to a specific set right?

-copy the LTE radio software stack from the optimus G to enable more bands! (if possible)

-S Beam like transferring on the nexus 4!

well thats all i got for now. Thanks for letting me share.
[Nexus 4 General] Androyed:
- Almost every ROM has customizable quick settings.

- That just isn't possible. It's a hardware limitation.

- That already exists, and it's just called Beam. Any Android phone with ICS and NFC has it.
[Nexus 4 General] mandroid17:
What about the lock screen from the optimus G? That would be cool
[Nexus 4 General] Nebucatnetzer:
That one is available in Slimroms. It isn't included in the beta 1 atm but we had it before.
[Nexus 4 General] tatltael:
No what stock android has is Android Beam which is different from S Beam.

They both rely on NFC to start the transfer but S beam then switches both devices into wifi-direct mode and this allows for files to be transferred extremely fast.

Android beam relies on bluetooth to transfer files so it's much slower.

So yes it would be great if someone could port S beam over to work with AOSP roms.

Also the blackberry 10 lockscreen would be great. There's a mod for the galaxy nexus but none for the N4 yet.

You´re right, nevermind.

I'm trying to make a script to kill an app.

I try pkill < name of my app >, killall < name of my app >, it kill the app but the icone is still in the notification bar and the app restart.

If I use the task manager of DX toolbox, it kills my unwanted app and his icone disappears.

I'm on ICS 4.0.4, Sony xperia S and stock rom (rooted phone, bootloader locked).

Is it possible to make a script to kill app like DX toolbox does?

I tried to write on the original thread but as i've never posted before I wasn't aloud, here's my problem;

I have an R800i GSM (pretty sure) and i've previously installed CM9 and had no problems whatsoever, but after i noticed a couple of things that annoyed me (lock screen and proximity sensor) I decided to try NXT ICS Xplay 4.1.B.0.587, I installed LuPus kernal, i followed the exact install instructions on the original thread word by word, but i've got bootloop. I have no idea what i could have possibly done wrong, maybe the problem is because i had CM9 installed first?

Thanks in advance for your reply and help,

Dan
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chick3n564:
Yeah, you should flash your stock .ftf first.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Watkins92:
Thanks for the reply, i'm a bit of a noob so i have no idea what that means haha but i have solved it and its working fine now thankfully :)

IF YOU'RE READING THIS BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM FEEL FREE TO REPLY OR SEND ME A PM AND I'LL EXPLAIN WHAT I DID TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM :)

Although i paid no attention to what you said, as i didnt understand it, thanks again for trying :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yekasangredevago:
These are the steps that I made for a clean installation and perfect. (For Xperia Play GSM) and so far not given me any problems.

1) Flash Firmware (62) Via FlashTool. (you can test after firmware flash (62) flash firmware that left attached, which increases the internal memory to 420 mb) (untested by me) (remember to erase the extension (.txt)

2) Allow full boot, then shut down and flash some of these kernels.

Advanced Stock: Better battery life, but less performance.

Lupus Kernel v11 (480p): Record video with less quality, but increases by 30 mb ram.

Lupus Kernel v11 (720): The opposite previous kernel.

Doomkernel ICS Beta v03: Performance & Battery Life (Balanced)

3) Then turn, enter CWM mode:

In Lupus Kernel: Pressing the R1, to vibrate the phone in the boot logo.

Doomkernel or Advanced In Stock: precionar back button, to vibrate the phone in boot logo,

4) Then do (Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache & Format System (Mount & Storage)

5) Flash Rom ICS Markphyton (Part 1 nothing else) because many users have reported several bug after installing NXT features.

6) Turn on and ready to enjoy android 4.0.4. : D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leejjon:
I had the exact same, it kept booting after showing the lupus load screen. The tutorial isn't really clear but you have to press the "back" button after the phone vibrates after booting, to get into the lupus recovery menu. It took me a few attempts of pushing on the back button while booting before I got in.
