[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvRS:
Which/best/most stable etc ROM threads get closed because it's completely subjective and what's best for one person isn't for others. My advice to everyone wondering is to just flash the ones that meet your needs or try them all, choice is a great thing and the devs provide plenty of it.

Thanks

Hey guys.

I want to learn how to create Android applications.

I know some programming languages like Java, but not perfectly because I took a break from programming for a while.

If you could give me links to tutorials or videos on how to create Android Applications from 0 it would be great!

Thanks alot :)
[Android Software Development] CSX321:
This is the official tutorial:

http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/index.html

It is fairly thorough, but not all you need to become an app developer. Sometimes just setting up the development environment and getting it to work right can be a challenge, but that site walks you through it.

Stackoverflow is a very good resource for technical questions.

I would spend some time understanding the directory structure (where you must put certain files in order to get the project to build successfully), and then on understanding layouts. It's similar, but not exactly like, laying out a page in HTML.

hmmm.....

I've actually attempted to get an answer from AT&T several times (all of which occurred before I began rooting my phone and installing new ROMs) and they kinda suck monkey a$$ when it comes to giving info on what we (the client) ask. It took me about a 45 min call or a 12 page chat to get their supervisors to finally admit that they don't have one because each one always tried to "get more information for me"

The leaked ROM is really nice. I get at least almost as good batter life as I did on CM10 nightlies. The OS itself is stable. I did notice that the memo app FCs. But that's the only app I have had an issue with and, well, that's not that important an app.

I do miss a few feature from CM10, though. I like having profile access from the power menu, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cheesenewb:
I just updated mine to 4.0.4, kernal 3.0.8, IMM76d.UCLF6 using Samsung Kies. I called AT&T just once and never did again. Even though they did point me to the Samsung Kies. I know not to call them about anything and to look at place like here for info. I don't know what verison this is (IMM76d). But I would start with Kies to get what is out offically and then go from their.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ro_bro:
I have the WatchDog app installed on my S3, which allows me to see what processes are consuming unusually high CPU usage.

I noticed a pattern where the stock Video Player is consistently going over 50%, when I'm not using it. It just spikes for no reason. I don't have any movies on my 16gb microsd card. I just have the vids I recorded using the stock camera.

I'm not sure what could be causing this weird behavior. Luckily, this WatchDog app let me kill it when this happens, but I just think it's odd, and annoying. Anyone have a clue on how to fix this?

FYI, I'm using the stock rooted Jelly Bean ROM, with some bloatware removed manually. No custom kernel.

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Marilize-Legajuana:
from here

Just today i got the same warning, when i was shooting some video footages and attached gs3 via usb to PC for charging. A few minutes after connecting got that WatchDog alert.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] caschbre:
Same issue here. Has anyone come up with a solution other than deleting video files?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ro_bro:
I tried freezing the Video player app with Titanium, but then of course, I needed to hunt down another video player. there are lots of free players out there, but most are ad supported, and I don't want to have to buy one to get around this problem. Another solution is using the free ES explorer's video player (built-in) but I didn't really like that either (forgot the exact reason).

For some reason, it hasn't been spiking much lately. I've just been living with killing it via Watchdog.

[General Questions and Answers] WokHorsti:
Hi!

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but maybe some of you can help me anyway:

I'm sure some of you remember the "Star Wars Screen Entertainment" screensavers from the 90s:

( I wanted to post a link to Wookieepedia here, but the forum won't let me ;) )

I'm sorry I couldn't find some good screenshots or videos.

Anymay, I was wondering, if there are some Star Wars geeks like me out there, who can recreate those screensavers as Android Live Wallpapers.

I would do it myself, but I have absolutely no knowledge how to program these things...

Well, I hope someone of you can help me with this ;)

Have you worked with this program before?

I wanted to know, if it's possible to use sprites to create animated objects, like creatures running along the screen...

Or do you know another program that supports such animations?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cpgeek:
What are the chances we'll see the new Ubuntu for phones os running on our hardware anytime soon?

As far as I understand it it should be just a matter of compiling for our specific soc, making a flashable rom and then flashing, right? They say it can run on android kernels so there shouldn't have to be any hardware interface work that needs to be done, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
If you don't mind me asking, how would this make any difference to us?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cpgeek:
It would enable us an alternative operating system choice, allowing application developers to create processor native applications (rather than using a java virtual machine that's quite resource intensive than running apps on the bare metal) thus using less system resources, enabling faster multitasking, greater compatibility with preexisting applications, enhanced security, and the desktop mode that they are touting is quite nice as well. connect an hdmi dongle and use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to turn the phone into a desktop computer... there are lots of uses for a bare metal operating system on a hardware platform with restrictive system resources.

there's really nothing wrong with android per se, she's a great OS, but there are a wide number of other approaches to building os's and user experiences. I would consider this pretty similar to choosing to install ubuntu on a PC, or windows on a mac for that matter. it's a matter of widening the variety of application approaches and compatibility. a matter of choice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mjd515:
I really want to know if this is possible after seeing the demo of it on engadget this morning I'm convinced that this is one os I'd be willing to flash and possibly leave on over android, as amazing as Android is this just better though out in terms of where everything is and speed of access
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
It may take off, if someone is able to best the entire android community as a whole, but the odds of that are "0"...

We would be better served if google took it over, and incorporated the OS into a handful of smart phones. Beyond that prospect, a port for us would be nothing more than a pet project.

This idea is not new, and mention of it can be found in virtually ever forum on this site, and a few devs have met with success on getting a bootable Android device running Ubuntu, but it was a short lived event, as support for the OS is simply not there ATM.

I do agree that a different OS is a good idea, but as a dedicated Android user, I would not be willing to switch at this point, as a stable, functional OS is months or even years away.

Likely the OS would fall the way of RIM, and other OS platforms, albeit, ahead of it's time.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cpgeek:
While I strongly believe that everyone is entitled to their opinion, the fact of the matter is that it's already running on the quintessential android test bed for the current generation of phones (the galaxy nexus) which means that it should be very easily ported to other, similar hardware (which is most of the android devices out there right now.). if they made this completely open source (which i'm pretty sure they'd have to given that most of the components of the OS are built on open-source licenses), and allowed the already very good and very diverse linux community expand it's functionality, write good apps for it, I think it has some pretty great promise.

my personal standpoint however, is that operating systems for mobile should work exactly like they do for PC's (and macs for that matter). you should be able to install whatever, whenever, without the approval of the company that happens to make the hardware, and without the approval of the company who provides the data and telephone services for the device... it's a pocket computer, not a dumb phone designed for one thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I thought Android was Linux and Ubuntu was Linux. Why is one type better than the other? And to run native, wouldn't hardware manufacturers have to write a butt load of drivers? Like the fiasco of upgrading from win2000 to win7.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nivek_k2020:
Ubuntu won't be released til 2014, will older phones like our note1 be supported?

Keep in mind that by 2014 the note1 would be considered old in mobile years.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cpgeek:
hardware drivers always run on the bare metal anyway (usually as part of the kernel, or occasionally as a background daemon service). the point is that android applications are built on top of the java environment which is a virtual machine - it's processes are abstracted and emulated which requires much more system resources than writing in something like c++ for the underlaying hardware. the only compatibility that this would break is that binaries don't work across cpu platforms. if something is compiled for the arm9 architecture for example (what most modern smartphones use, including our note), it wouldn't run on android for x86 or another java virtual machine like bluestacks. in order to get it to run on a different hardware platform you'd either have to emulate a complete device (like the iphone and android sdk simulators), or recompile it for the platform you want to run it on (only useful if you have the source code). the latter method is how linux distributions have been doing things for years. there are virtually identical linux distributions that can run on intel, arm, powerpc, sparc, motorola 68k, etc. etc. they can all run pretty much the same applications (because of the hardware abstraction layer present in the kernel), but in order for it to work, those applications must be recompiled for the appropriate underlaying processor architecture, as the output of a c(++,#) compiler is code that is cpu architecture specific.

also, windows 2000 and windows 7 were designed for the same (or similar) underlaying hardware problems. windows 2000 to windows 7 was mostly a piece of cake. whereas the move from windows 98 to windows 2000 or windows 98 to windows xp was difficult because windows 9x and windows 2000/xp use a different variety of hardware abstraction layer and thus different drivers must be written as drivers designed for one HAL won't work with another. (same thing for major linux revisions. the HAL in the 2.4 series of kernels is different from the one in 2.6 series of kernels which means one has to rewrite device drivers in order to get some less-than-standard hardware working.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cpgeek:
Actually, If i had access to the sources (that by all rights should be open thanks to the way the gpl is designed), I'd be happy to build a rom and help with the development efforts. I'm pretty decent at optimizing linux distributions for arm hardware. we should all petition canonical to release the code post haste.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wieczorek24:
I would love to see ubuntu ported over to phones. I almost fell off my chair when I heard of the idea that your phone could just connect to a monitor/keyboard/mouse to become a fully fledged desktop computer. This would literally replace almost all of my gadgets into one device. I wouldn't need a laptop, an ipod, a dvd player, or even a gaming console possibly as well.

I've been using ubuntu for a number of years and would be overjoyed to see almost all of my electronics and computing essentially made into one pocket sized device. The possibilities are so great for this kind of leap in technology and it almost seems to be the inevitable succession in personal computer technology. This could possibly be the beginning of the end for laptops, desktops, tablets, and netbooks/ultrabooks. All data would be transmitted using flash memory or transmitted OTA instead of spinning disks or other media.

If the source code is released, and I'm sure it will since Canonical has done a decent job of running Ubuntu lately, I hope someone brings it to the i717 because then I would probably sell a lot of electronic equipment :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
The release will never happen to allow a single, all inclusive device.

Ubuntu or not, there are too many hands in the pie, and billions of dollars on the table.

The apples, and Samsungs of the world will go at it until the day we die.

They all want the biggest piece, and will squash anyone that gets in their way.

Ubuntu would need a home run piece of code that emulates a magic carpet if they ever hope to slay the beast.

And if they did, I'm not so sure that people would embrace the one stop shop mentality for a single device anyway.

It simply stinks of yet another apple type monopoly in the making.

I support the idea, but it's the logistics that kill the deal, money driven logistics of course.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wieczorek24:
Too true, it's all about the money in the end, even with free stuff.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Googl3:
It would be very interesting, but since the age of the Nexus i think It will take much before seeing run Ubuntu.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirePoncho86:
I disagree, have you seen the minimum specs of Ubuntu? They're in the same ballpark of the NS. But since it will be a mobile version, the minimum requirements will drop. However, i doubt anyone will take the time to port it to our phone, and optimize it properly. That being said, it would run great on the ns, with the right optimizations, which will probably never get done.

Have faith. Some developer may have mercy on the NS and port it anyway. ;)

Wifi/Bluetooth antennas tend to be at the top or the sides of a phone. With the actual cellular antenna being at the bottom.

FCC requires all mobile phones to have the cellular antenna farthest from the users head (health concerns). LTE being the strange exception mostly being near the top or the side.
