XDA was never a blackberry site, simply because (I presume, this is all historical now) the BB was generally a phone provided by your company, which was heavily locked down, and you were to just use it like a good employee, who does what he's told...

There's not much interest in Blackberry anyway, and tech rumours are certainly worth taking a look at RE RIM's long term future...
[General Questions and Answers] omnius1:
Thanks, you understood my intention correctly.
[General Questions and Answers] omnius1:
There are zero credible signs one way or the other regarding how the new overhaul is doing yet from a business standpoint or consumer interest.
[General Questions and Answers] slimshotty:
How much market share does RIM or now BBRY own? I don't think there is enough demand to justify creating a development forum specifically for BlackBerry users. I am sure you can find others like yourself on other forums dedicated to this platform.
[General Questions and Answers] pulser_g2:
There are signs though of other R&D work, which are credible, and have images which couldn't really be faked unless you were with RIM...
[General Questions and Answers] Aoi_sora9x:
I assume that the OS is not open source and thus there's no way to develop for it?
[General Questions and Answers] omnius1:
BB is ahead of wp8 currently in mobile OS market share

Would that also not apply to wp8 which does have a presence here?
[General Questions and Answers] Looneytoon98:
BlackBerry (formerly RIM) is the number 3 platform worldwide. Emerging markets (read: anywhere outside the US) are snatching up old Curves and Pearls at a ridiculous pace. It is reasonable to expect a Windows Mobile area on XDA because of its history and once-dominant presence. It's also plausible to see Sailfish, Ubuntu and even webOS here because they're Linux-based as is Android. But to exclude BlackBerry and not Windows Phone 7/8 on the basis of marketshare is, to paraphrase Tony Montana, "a pig that doesn't fly too straight".

Buddy what can i say is BB 10 is just now launched and we didnt even know what it is based on. Xda is place of devs/users for Android, iOS and Windows phones.

Ok just check, in 2007-8 have u been to Xda?? I think no..:eek: why??

Now, we are in stage where we all need to know what BB 10 is giving to us. Over which it is running and how much user capacity is there.

Let Admin/Xda commitee to take decision. May b next step would b adding BB10 support.

Just wait and watch buddy. I thought ur subject of thread will b changed soon.:sly:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1r0k:
Hi,

I seem to be having ongoing issues with my external sd card. When downloading torrents using utorrent or ttorrent, it starts to download , but then half way through it states that the location is read only?? I checked using Solid Explorer and it does say that my exsdcard is read only, but the tick box for write in greyed out.

Why is it it seems to sometimes be read only and sometimes it downloads fine? How can I change it to read/write?

Thanks

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ville525:
Hi!

Something is wrong with the touch on my Xperia S. When I plug in the charger or headphones the phone starts to register every tap as a long touch, but only on the lowest centimeter of the screen plus the back, home and meny buttons.

An example is if I tap the Homebutton the list of previous apps opens up, and if I press an icon in the dock it just wants to move it, just like if you long press on it. This makes the phone pretty much useless as I cant use the lower part of the screen.

Like I said this only happens when I have the charger or headphones connected, otherwise it works just fine.

Anyone knows if there is a solution for this, or should I just return the phone?

"EDIT: It seems like the problem goes away after the

charger

has been connected for a while"

Just clean your screen and if any screen protector exists replace it. If the problem still exists do a software repair

Does this mean my battery actually increased a bit after restarting?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
It is normal for your battery to increase by 1 to 2 % . But that generally happens when it's over 90. Strange but don't worry. Who doesn't want auto charge :D

I accidently deleted my gallery app using Titanium backup and now I have no gallery on my phone.. can anyone please upload the 4.1.2 gallery app for the S3. Please I need it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eytan123:
if you use omega as it says at your signature you can locate the gallery apk and copy to your device /system/app
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibyajyoti:
Yes, I already checked there. The apk isn't present in the folder.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
So you are saying that omegarom has no gallery included in the rom? i find that hard to believe
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibyajyoti:
I'm not saying that Omega rom doesn't have the gallery app at all. In my case I can't find it in the /system/apps/ folder. It must've gotten deleted somehow. It'll be of great help if you could upload yours or provide a link from where I can download the app.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
He's saying extract it from your Rom you downloaded, or just re-flash dirty
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eytan123:
DSA is right.

system\app\SecGallery2_Galaxy.apk

next time try to look for yourself i promise you'll get a faster solution than waiting for me or anyone else look it up for you.

cheers.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibyajyoti:
dude I tried searching for it .. it isn't there.. why would I lie? here's a screenshot of my file manager.

As you can see after SecFileShareServer it moves onto SecHTMLviewer
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibyajyoti:
Yeah thanks for the tip!..I forgot I could extract it from the zip I downloaded..

Its weird that the app disappeared from system folder as well.. Anyway thanks a ton!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eytan123:
i wasn't saying you lied...

i said you should get the downloaded omega file, open it (pc\phone doesn't matter) and extract only the SecGallery2_Galaxy.apk located at system\app\

inside the omega zip

and than copy it to your /system/app and make sure permissions are the same as all the other apk's in this folder.

make sure you mount r/w on so you can copy the file.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baklap:
This might have been asked before and i am truly sorry if this thread is redundant. Did i miss anything? I see GT-P5110 JB updates all over the place except a Dutch version. As my Nexus runs JB and i am very happy with it i would like to leave the realm of ICS on the Tab2 as well.

I did read up on some threads about flashing the rom myself but i am reluctant so far. Any Dutch users out there that might give me a hint on what to do?

Thx!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gregzi:
Is your current firmware carrier branded? In any case you can use Odin 3.0.7 and flash "Open Europe" firmware, which can be downloaded from SamMobile.com at http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-P5110&pcode=0&os=1&type=3#firmware

You will have the list of the 10 latest firmwares (the first one is 4.1.2 multilingual). CLK7 is recommended (English / French)

There are several guides about using / flash with Odin. Here is one: http://androidjinn.com/install-xxclk7-android-4-1-1-jelly.html

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudem0e:
Jelly Bean!

There are many porters and rom cooks but unfortunately, no one has ventured into the MTK territory yet.

I, myself, own a Jiayu G3 with a mtk 6577 chipset and I have been pleading and begging the developers.

We are one of the first pioneers who have entered the territory.

It is always the case when you are courageous and ahead of the rest, you have to wait for 'others' to catch up!

I will keep you posted on any progress, please keep asking and searching. Don't give up!

Phone specs on most such devices are

1Ghz dual core CPU

512MB RAM

512MB ROM

5 Inch LCD

5MP Back and VGA Front Camera

Dual SIM

3G on 1st SIM, 2G on 2nd SIM

Ok another post, I see you have lower specs than my device. If you know the basics of porting that shouldnt really be a problem, it;s quite easy. I just ported the stock rom from Jiayu g2 to my acer liquid E1. that is from 4.1.2 > 4.2.2, with just the basics of opening 2 zip files, dragging and dropping some files, and you're done. See if you can find an mtk device which has almost the same specs as yours, and go to www.needrom.com look for some roms, download it, and just try. That's what I'm doing, and so far, I made the worlds first, and third custom rom for my device....so don't give up like alot of ppl tell you!!!! Just don't

Hello everybody,

I'd like you all to know that I would like to open-source ARM Launcher to continue active development. see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2326240

---

I've just released version 0.99.16 to google play. This release contains the following improvements/features:

Allow custom icons in the main dock (a lot of requests for this).

Fix that an item drop preview will not be shown for the top left corner.

Google play compatibility with devices like nexus 7 (thanks to a dear college for letting me borrow his nexus 7).

Improved start-up time.

Support for quick restart after being killed by android when more resources are needed.

Due to the change of the way the dock works, long pressing the icons it contains now starts a drag. To access the quick popup, long press the drawer icon.

----

Hello all,

I'd like to announce a new Launcher for android. ARM Launcher. The goal is to have a fast, user friendly and highly configurable launcher. All devices with android 2.3.3 and higher are supported.

Features:

Support for various theme formats.

Sidebar to quickly start your favorite applications, recent applications or search all applications

The launcher supports Launcher Pro+ themes and includes the same widgets (except for the gmail widget).

Not limited by a 4x4 grid. ARM Launcher has much more grid cells to allow you to layout your screens as you'd like.

All widgets can be re-sized.

Lots of integrated widgets

Long press the default icons (dialer, drawer, contacts) in the bar to easily access your recent messages, recent applications, bookmarks, contacts and recent calls.

And much more.

ARM Launcher is not based on the android 4 stock launcher like for example Nova and Apex Launcher are. Instead ARM Launcher has been built manually from scratch using the the android Stock Launcher only as a reference.

If you'd like to try ARM Launcher, please download it from google play. Search for "ARM Launcher" to find it. Any feedback or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Please not that this application is a launcher, you'll have to start it using your device's home button.

For screenshots please visit sites.google.com/site/armlauncher/screenshots

Thank you!

I love your launcher , No lag in animations , Light on RAM. Just wonderful . Widgets are beautiful especially the message conversations and calender. Thanks.

Re: Announcing ARM Launcher

I would like to call it the new (and definitely improved) LauncherPro. Nice animations, especially when you move icons around! Widget are almost identical to the ones from LauncherPro

I'm using this as launcher from now on.

You should change the title of the thread to:

[2.3+] [Launcher] ARM launcher [11 feb]

And highlight the main differences between Apex, Nova and ARM. Yours is a lot better when it comes to home page customization.

[Q] Would it be possible to integrate something like Unity launcher or Swapps as "recent apps"? I mean like a side toolbar. Swipe gestures are the hype of 2013 :)
[Android Apps and Games] -CALIBAN666-:
looks awesome,i test it. :good: :)

have installed and i must say its a realy cool launcher with many cool features, keep it up!!!!! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] kirakun:
Extremely nice launcher, some bugs here and there, but definitely worth. Could you add the "caroussel" swiping effect from LG if possible. And some customizations such as transparency support, local icon use and contol over the app drawer such as removing tabs to show icons only would be very nice. Let me thank you once again sir. Really hats off to u for this awesome launcher. I don't have words to describe the joy of using this launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Oshritdoron:
Thanks

Nic thanks
[Android Apps and Games] nickmartens1980:
Thanks for your comments, what kind of gesture were you thinking about? Something like swiping up or down? You can long press the drawer icon and it will show you your recently opened applications.

I am a bit familiar with apex, but not so much with nova. They are a lot like the android stock launcher aren't they?

[Android Apps and Games] Slagathor:
I'm not talking about the up and down gestures which are less useful with scrolling widgets, imo. I mean the side toolbar which one can expand with a gesture from the side of the screen to the middle, the are a few and work reasonably well: unity launcher, Swapps. But if these Ubuntu phone inspired functions would be part of ARM launcher that would be excellent!

Nova and Apex are practically the same, the stock launcher with a lot of options. And that's exactly what I love about your launcher... This one is really different!

Well that is pretty weird. It is activated for all devices on Google play.

I definitely like the way Swapps looks. I will probably add something similar. Nice suggestion!
[Android Apps and Games] BigJeff:
I'm running it on CM7 Atrix so I don't see why it lags? I think the first goal of any launcher before features, is making it smoother than launcher pro.

Keep it up though, it can be great.
[Android Apps and Games] android.345:
Smooth

Working very smoothly on my galaxy prevail.
[Android Apps and Games] mutantblack:
Fantastic launcher for beta. Really smooth and fast overall. But no gestures mean no go for me. I will keep an eye on this though. Hopefully see more features in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] rossarnie:
I really like the look and feel of this launcher. Long-pressing the dock icons is a unique feature.

Transparent widgets would be great.

The app drawer acted up at first. Some icons were missing although the name of the app was visible, and I couldn't open any apps from the drawer. Once I changed the drawer direction and chose the recent apps view, it settled down and began to work properly.
[Android Apps and Games] Slagathor:
Lag? Really? It works flawlessly here. I think old phones with singlecore processors would be laggy, I guess. But with multicore it should run lagfree.
[Android Apps and Games] Slagathor:
There is a small nuisance when using the calendar widget.

Normally there is an overview of the current month but when you switch to agenda mode (listing of all the appointments) the list always start at the beginning of the month, not on the current day! Could that be fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] kirakun:
It runs a lil laggy on my 600mhz single core :P But i've seen smoother launchers like launcher pro. This one definitely has the potential though. Really looking forward to new updates, i hope it will get the LG animation from optmus G >.<
[Android Apps and Games] RobertsDF:
Google play store says it isn't available for my nexus 7 tablet. Could you look into that? I'd really like to try this.
[Android Apps and Games] cornelha:
Having a low powered device (LG Optimus One P500), I usually turn of animations on other devices in order to have at least the appearance of smoothness. An old programmers trick might come in very handy here, if it moves too much, it appears slow. Allow users to change the animation speed or disable them altogether. This launcher is definitly smooth, but the wait between transitions/animations makes it feel slow
[Android Apps and Games] Vecors:
seems it could be a boom if could integrate some fancy recent apps as said above

:good:
[Android Apps and Games] RobertsDF:
I downloaded this on my phone and I'm absolutely loving it BUT I took the apk and installed it on my nexus 7 and the app drawer is just frozen, your options at the top work, but I can't scroll through the apps and I can't select any.
[Android Apps and Games] dskrilz:
Love the launcher, not really a fan of the icon. I would love an option to remove the Arm icon from the app drawer, or have it replaced with a home icon from a theme package. Kudos.
[Android Apps and Games] nickmartens1980:
I will add this to my todo list. Shouldn't be to hard. If I get time this weekend I will add it to the release I am planning.

I'll introduce something to configure animation speed. this probably won't make it to the upcoming release but it can be added afterwards.

I have implemented a sidebar kinda like swapps. This is scheduled for release this weekend but it still needs some work.

I am very curious as to why this happens.. unfortunately I don't own a nexus 7 to test on :(.

I'll take this into consideration, Implementing to get it from a theme package will have to wait a bit.. But perhaps an option to disable it.

Thank you all for your feedback!
