Attached are three recovery flashable wiping tools I use when doing my work.

I find them to be incredibly useful tools that save some power button & volume rocker mashing, and time.

Wipe Cache and Dalvik - Wipes Cache and Dalvik (duh!)

Useful for:

-Flashing GApps

-Resolving app issues

Wipe Full - Wipes Cache, Dalvik, Data, and System

-Wipes just about all data except internal sd card

-Stops just short of a factory reset (does not wipe media)

-Useful for flashing ROMs within a type (e.g. going from one CM ROM to another CM ROM)

Wipe Full Factory Reset - Wipes Cache, Dalvik, Data, System, and internal sd card

-Useful when going from one ROM type to another (e.g. going from CM to TW)

_____________________

This is the part of the updater-script that selectively wipes /data in case anyone wants to add this to their ROM:

delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
delete_recursive("/data/app");
delete_recursive("/data/app-asec");
delete_recursive("/data/app-private");
delete_recursive("/data/backup");
delete_recursive("/data/data");
delete_recursive("/data/drm");
delete_recursive("/data/log");
delete_recursive("/data/misc");
delete_recursive("/data/property");
delete_recursive("/data/system");
delete_recursive("/data/time");
delete_recursive("/data/user");

Changing the code above to the code below effectively performs a factory reset

(look at /data/media and you will see your internal sd card)

delete_recursive("/data");

As Always - Flash at your own risk!

About to test with twrp. Anyone else use them yet, or will I be taking them on their maiden voyage with the BETTER recovery? ;)

Edit: would you be interested in making a fourth one for those of us who are OCD? Davlik, cache, and (complete) factory reset, wiping everything but the SD card, saving the super wipe script of yours for flashing to/from different rom bases (tw to aosp/cm).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lurwas:
DN in this context refers to the swedish newspaper "Dagens Nyheter" (http://www.dn.se).

They have developed an app that is called DN+ and works rather well on iOS devices.

The app requires the user to have a paid subscription for the user to be able to read the latest newspaper on their respective device.

For testing the application there are some sample 'newspapers' to download from inside of the app.

On the Android platform at least, the app is based on the Adobe Air platform.

I got frustrated about how the DN+ app didn't work on my Samsung Galaxy Note II but worked on my Samsung Galaxy Note.

So...inspired by some of the hacks here on the forums I thought I would give it a try to hack it.

The instructions and tools are similiar to this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2057765

But you need to replace the com.hbo.android.app.apk with air.se.bonnier.dn.newsplus-1.apk.

The directory where I found the apk on my device was 'data.ext4\data\app'.

The file config_android.xml is located in the directory: 'assets\assets_runtime\config'

I will provide a link to the .apk file here (as soon as I've reached 10 posts on this forum) if you don't want to hack it yourself.

I changed some settings in the config_android.xml file. Not being an Adobe Air developer, I might have changed a little bit too much or tweaked the numbers wrong. Please let me know if you have any problems or if you can improve on this 'hack'.

I attached the changed config_android.xml file to this post.

Unzip that file to your directory where you unzipped your .apk file in the subdirectory: 'air.se.bonnier.dn.newsplus-1\assets\assets_runtime\config'

Confirmed working on my:

Hi,

is there a way to call using a remote phone ?

For exemple, MightyText is perfect to send SMS using the phone remotly.

Is there a way to use it same way with the call function ?

With the Nexus' microphone + sound.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davisac:
You can do it with Google Voice but it's a pain.

You have to start the call on the tablet and it will call your phone which you then need to answer for it to forward.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Watchaa:
Thank for your reply.

Unfortunetly I'm in France and Google Voice is not available for French users.

I'd like to find a remote solution, something like MightyText or TabletTalk fo SMS use but fo a call use.

Hopefully that a developer will do something like that! :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohammadAG:
Tablet Talk also does calls, in the sense that it can dial/end a call and activate BT audio / loudspeaker.

It can't forward audio though, that's a limitation in Android.

This may not be what you are looking for but you can download the Magic jack app and then you can make free calls from your tablet. You don't even need to sign up. Just start the app and make a call. It comes up as a random number on the recipients phone though. I love it. I have a job in the USA. But I travel to Canada, and I connect to WiFi and then can use magic jack to call anyone for free. Its better than buying Skype credits for now.

Also, following up on my Rogers One Number post. For ALL Canadians:

Try the Fongo app, formerly Dell Voice. It's only for Canadians (maybe), and you can only call to Canadian numbers, but you may do so from anywhere in the world, as long as your Android device connects to the internet.

It's very decent in terms of quality, and offers a number that you may be reached from for free incoming and outgoing calls.
[General Questions and Answers] shirahmad:
hey guys i am new to android and just recently got a Samsung Galaxy S3 on contract and the main problem that i am facing right now is with the system music app, i have some music, audio lectures and ringtones, and the problem is that the android music detects(reads) all those three audios files in one app and i find it really annoying because i dont want them to be mixed. in iOS (iPhone) there are some apps that you can just drag your audio into that app and it will only play those files within that app. meaning it was easy for me to sync my music to iOS music player and put the lecture in another app. i could not find such an app or feature in android.

so are there any apps or trick to do that. any help would be appreciated

thanks

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] no2chem:
hi all,

I've updated DOSBOX's dynrec core to take advantage of the THUMB2 ARMv7 instructions that must be supported on Windows RT. Among other things, this includes being able to move immediates to registers without using a PC relative load, 32-bit instructions that allow access to all registers, etc. I also added a PLI instruction to preload a cacheblock into the instruction cache before it is executed, and PLD instructions to prefetch data for a minor speedup.

Testing on doom timedemo, I get 3721 realtics, which is a modest 5% speedup from the standard dynrec core. Probably not having directX is a significant bottleneck on video drawing, this can get fixed once I get a wrapper around directinput working. Hopefully these changes can also help out mamaich's x86 pe loader out a well.

-- old post below--

I managed to get dosbox compiled with mamaich's new updates (see below), so we now have dosbox with the dynamic recompiling core. I also included network support which seems to work.

The dynamic recompiling core does give better performance for newer apps. 3982 realtics vs 18088 realtics on doom timedemo, so about a 5x gain

The next step would be to get a better graphics core. There is an opengl wrapper for DX11 called gl2dx that I'm looking into.

I'm also looking at putting at optimizing dynrec for thumb2, for example, it seems that CBZ might be useful (except it only lets you branch forward!!!)
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] no2chem:
Hmm, I have to unfortunately note that DOS4GW doesn't seem to work in this build. I'm working on it!

In the mean time, enjoy commander keen 1 -6?...
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] no2chem:
So in the end, I think the dynamic recompiler has some issues.

I know that the VirtualAlloc function is correctly setting execute permissions on memory pages, but I don't know if FlushInstructionCache is actually flushing the instruction cache. It's also possible that the dynamic recompiler is emitting bad assembly, but inspecting the code... doesn't look like it!
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] mamaich:
The same issue for me (but I'm using a bit obsolete DosBox sources, need to update). May be this is due to EABI changes (for example registers are not preserved), as DosBox dynamic core targets Linux.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] mamaich:
Regarding DosBox. Look here - http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=31787

This is the ARMv7 optimized dynamic core for DosBox by M-HT. It is not yet integrated into the official DosBox branch.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
If you're concerned about FlushInstructionCache not being implemented correctly, let me know. As part of my work to port Chromium, I've learned how to do cache management in ARM a little closer to the metal (moving the relevant values to the coprocessor registers directly) and have both more control (for example, clearing the data cache lines as well) and more precise control over exactly what is done to the cache lines.

However, bear in mind that I haven't been able to properly test this yet, as too much of the Chromium core still doesn't want to compile for me... *sigh*.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] mamaich:
As far as I see - FlushInstructionCache works as expected (flushes icache). DosBox crashes due to some other reason, maybe due to the ARM-THUMB interworking problems (it is just a guess).
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Good to know. It would be annoying if the official API were wrong...
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] mamaich:
I've found whu DosBox dynamic core crashes at random.

All existing dynamic cores use ARM code, even the thumb files are using the ARM prologue. Though our CPUs can run the ARM code, there is a bug (?) in RT that switches ARM code to be executed as a THUMB at random. For example you call an ARM procedure 100000 times, but at 100001 something happens and the code starts to execute as THUMB. Maybe a task switch occurs, or maybe some interrupt happens, and when OS returns to your code - it sets T bit in CPSR, so the code is interpreted as THUMB.

I was able to modify the prologue generator in risc_armv4le-thumb-iw.h so that it generates only THUMB code, and now everything started to work in my project. Attached. Code is ugly and unfinished and uses some dirty C hacks, I'll fix them later as it is deep night now. But you may look on the changes and implement similar things in a DosBox build.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
I'll take a look at getting that implemented in my build.

Edit: Haven't looked into it much, but DosBox crashes whenever I open any 32-bit stuff.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] no2chem:
thanks for figuring that out! its a bit odd though, don't you think - wouldn't normal ARM apps crash if this was the case? I'm sure most stuff is compiled with interworking, maybe ms interworking convention is different?

Anyway, I was thinking, doesn't homm3 use directx? Is your emulation layer also doing conversion of that code? It seems like it would be useful to have native wrappers for old versions of DX so they can take direct advantage of DX11 native. Alas, that's for another day.... Also, mfc would be nice too... (its there... MS just didn't provide the .lib, ordinals are [noname]'d out, and .pdb from debug server seems to be missing some exports....)
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] bartekxyz:
How big performance gains are you talking about?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] no2chem:
Eh, 3982 realtics vs 18088 realtics on doom timedemo, so about a 5x gain
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Nice! That should (eventually) allow quite a few legacy apps, if they're old enough and/or not to performance-sensitive (i.e. not realtime) to run acceptably.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] mamaich:
No conversion, I just pass DX to the native OS libraries with some minimal wrappers. RT provides even DirectX 1.0 interfaces :)

The only problem is that RT prohibits non 32-bit color modes, though video driver supports them (at least 16 bit color is supported by tegra driver).
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] mamaich:
I'm using ARM/Tumb dynamic code created by M-HT: http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=31787

I've changed just one function.

Please post your code changes somewhere, so that I could use them in my project too :)

NTARM kernel is a THUM2-only kernel. There is no interworking it it. So it is possible that MS code intentionally sets the T bit to THUMB when returning from interrupt or a task-switch. Unfortunately this means that we can't use ARM code in our programs (I have not seen any ARM code in MS progs, only THUMB2). Anyway, THUMB2 code is very efficient now, its speed can be the same as of ARM code, and size is much smaller.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Generally, THUMB2 should outperform ARM, yes. Also, the state of Thumb vs. Arm is actually set in a kind of weird way: rather than manually setting a processor bit, it's controlled by the jump address. Since even THUMB2 instructions are always 16-bit (2-byte) aligned, the least significant bit of an instruction address is never 1. Therefore, that bit is used (on any jump-type instruction) as a flag to indicate whether the processor should use ARM or THUMB2 mode. In theory, this should mean that the OS doesn't care about the mode being used... but I've never written an interrupt handler for ARM (a couple other platforms, but not ARM) and there might be something weird going on with them.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] mamaich:
This is true for normal jumps. And that is why we have to set lowest bit to 1 manually on indirect branches inside autogenerated THUMB code. But for CPU itself the mode is kept in T bit in CPSR. And "something" sets it to 1 "sometimes". I have not done much testing, but I think that this should be an interrupt, as I've seen that bit changed in the middle of a generated ARM code.

Anyway the THUMB2 code is better then ARM for us - it is more compact, so more code may be kept in cache (both in CPU and DosBox dynamic recompilator's).
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] no2chem:
updated with a thumb2 dynrec.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] dmags2:
Touch input for mouse

For anyone that wants to use their touchscreen for mouse input, navigate to their %AppData%\Local\DosBox folder and modify the dosbox-0.74.conf file so that "Autolock=true" is "Autolock=false"

It works pretty well with the touchscreen and an on-screen keyboard for gaming and such :)
