[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiff72:
Am I the only one annoyed by the fact that the stock keyboard doesn't fill in suggestions when you press the spacebar? I have typos all the time that should have been corrected, but the keyboard doesn't fill in corrected words automatically. I love the stock keyboard except for this one issue. I might have to try Swiftkey or Thumb Keyboard (I bought both of them before I got the Note 10.1).

There is a thread for the Galaxy Note 2 about a hacked keyboard that DOES do the corrections automatically. I installed it on my phone and it works great - I just wish there was a version for the Note 10.1.

Hello all. I have recently rooted my AHd and would like to know all I can about this phone. I learn real fast and don't want to brick my phone. I have limited exp with phones but back in the day there wasn't a console that stood a chance against me. Any help would be awesome. And once I become proficient in phones I will endeavor to share all knowledge I am taught.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
LOL. I still have a box with 5 dismantled XBOXes (not 360, I fn hate 360's with a passion). People would come over and would go

I really wish Microsoft didn't skimp on the power supplies. I miss my Chipped Xbox :crying:

Seriously though, you have 2 choices right now -- read the SafeStrap thread and start using SSR to get into custom roms or wait for the bootloader unlock exploit to be released and start custom romming with fastboot and a proper TWRP or CWM for backups. If I were you I'd wait for the latter.

I got into Android phone 2 years ago with the Moto Bravo. At the time, our choices for roms were a Stock Deodexed and a halfway working Defy CM7 port. There were a few power users left, but most had already jumped ship for better phones. Soon I was left with the choices of being stuck with that or try to learn something. Been learning ever since. Though if it weren't for XDA user Quarx I probably wouldn't have learned near as much as I have -- he's never taught me anything personally, but because he started supporting the Bravo it encouraged me to get into source which, in turn, made me learn much more.

A few hours reading the threads here and you should know the basics of AHD modding, but like I've been saying, most of that'll change soon. :D

I like direct, specific questions...so ask those :p

//I hate 360s cause I had four of em red-ring on me -- the last one was 12 hours after purchase -- Got home around 11pm, installed Oblivion to the drive, went to bed, woke up and it red-ringed. I had only had the damn thing powered on for 30 minutes total. Never had one last more than 2 months, seriously. Really bad product.
[Motorola Atrix HD] xNightowlx:
Wow to the hater. If u must know my life history I have probably been working with electronics and computers longer than you. But I had an unfortunate happenstance in my life that made me take a 8 year "vacation" at a wonderful " Men's Camp" so I am a little out of touch with today's tech. I was writing games back on my Tandy SL 1000 in GW basic. Do you even know what that is? And as far as Xbox and Xbox 360 those were child's play. And I rooted my phone in 2 hours having never even touched Linux or a smart phone before. And the syntax in the tut was screwed up. If I was such a idiot how did I figure it out myself? It looked a lot like old does commands so I fiddled and Presto
[Motorola Atrix HD] xNightowlx:
Microsoft went cheap with thief solder and heatsink attachment system. Every one I got I immediately re-balled solder on GPU and CPU as wheel as added custom heatsinks and attachment method. They would work great. There was a time before my exodus that I made over 2 grand a week repairing 360s flashing firmware and customizing. I even had Pawn shops bringing me their consoles
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
I wasn't referring to you in the quote box, just my idiot friends who don't even know what a OS is, let alone anything about modding and tweaking ....and no I don't know what a Tandy SL is. Sorry if you took offence and that you though I was calling you an idiot -- I wasn't -- I just figured you had friends who were equally amazed by what guys like us consider to be "normal use". Ya know, CSB and all that. And, FYI, you probably do know more than me, but I don't really care. :cool: I know what I do and I try to learn more each day*.

I also rooted my first phone android phone within 15 minutes (a Bravo 2 years ago) and had this rooted in 5...but being able to read, follow directions, and figure it out when it doesn't work isn't a major accomplishment.

*Know any good sources to learn Java and C? I'm feeling like I've plateaued and I that I need to seriously learn a language if I'm gonna be able to advance in skills.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew2511:
Hi, I've a very weird problem with my Nexus 4 rev 11. When I take low brightness or black at the edge photos, an "awesome" grey/white stripe goes alive. I was on 4.2.2 stock, wiped many times, changed many kernels and now I'm on latest CyanogenMod nightly: the weird bug is still here. I hope it's not an hardware fault because for bad luck Bri-talians that can't buy a nexus 4 in the Italian shops like me, send the phone to be repaired outside Italy it's almost impossible...

Here is a totally black photo with the bug.

The stripes don't always appear at the same place and it appears on selected photo app that works as the stock one like Snap Camera, but not on istagram app

Any advice? Please help me or the phone will fly straight through the window. Maybe not but I hope to solve that weirdness...

Can you test of your nexus is affected too? Simply put a finger on the camera... Thank you

[General Topics] danielalvers:
I am looking for an easy way to set my XDA to silent using one hand, like when heading into a meeting.

I have searched through these forums and found My|Profile & Ultra Profiler but really was looking for something even easier (freeware?).

Anyone want to do a little programming? :)

Here is how it would work.

1. Today screen plug-in

2. One icon or button labeled as "Silent"

3. Using a 'Today Options' button you could select a check box to Vibrate when Silent.

4. When "Silent" is pressed it would set the Volume Settings to 'Off'

That's it. Nothing else, no changable tones, no schedules. Just quickly silence the device. You can then use the Volume Slider to restore your previous settings.

On a related matter I don't understand why I can use the Volume Slider to recover from a "Volume Off" setting. It restores my previous Phone & PDA settings but I can't go to "Volume Off" using the slider. Weird.
[General Topics] RafilK:
If you can cope with two screen taps, the easiest way is simply to tap the speaker symbol at the top of the screen then tap "Off" (then tap the speaker symbol again if you want to close the pop-up). After the meeting there are two quick ways to restore the volume settings to their previous levels:

1) tap the speaker symbol and then "On" (then tap the speaker symbol again to close the pop-up)

2) slide the volume button on the side of the XDAII up twice

Regards -- Rafil.
[General Topics] gazzaman2k:
just press the colum button about 2 times it will go from max sound to off then to vibrate then to low then keep pressing it to make it go up and up till it reaches max then the cycle starts again very simple
[General Topics] danielalvers:
Thanks for the ideas.

RafilK, maybe I have fat figures but trying to hit the Speaker Icon, with a finger, nestled between the time and the signal icon is a hit and miss affair.

gazzaman2k, please excuse my ignorance but what's a "Colum Button"? Is it one of the hardware buttons?
[General Topics] gazzaman2k:
sorry typos meant to say volume
[General Topics] RafilK:
Fair enough. What I believe gazzaman2k was referring to was the hardware sliding button on the side of the XDAII that is used to increase and decrease volume. He is right, two downward movements of the volume button do silence the XDAII - I forgot about that! Hope this helps. Regards -- Rafil.

I'm sorry, I can't provide you with one. I can give you some advice though...

Just download a Sammy based ROM and extract the sPlanner.apk. Or write a more detailed post about what you want to do with it. I think people need to take the effort of doing the extraction for you, and for that you need to show them some effort... at least let them know what you are doing with the file.

[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] TechMasta:
Hi Guys :D This is a guide on app design guidelines.This can be applied everywhere and not only app design. I have seen many apps that perform awesome but their UI scares people away! This won't be a very detailed guide, only basic pointers on UI Design.

First off i would like to say that User experience and functionality of the app is equally or more important than it's UI. There's no point in a app that has a awesome looking UI but is very laggy or lacks functionality.

Lets begin with a few tips :

Try to make the UI simple and clean with no extra clutter.Hide extra functionality in menus. Keep the main function of the program in the front.

Make the UI flat.Use subtle gradients and shadows. Don't make it too flat like the metro ui,in which you can't distinguish an icon from a button :p

Use a specific color scheme. Select two to three lead colours. and select 1 or 2 background colours.

Either make it dark themed, or light themed, don't mix the two!

Use transitions. But not too fancy.

Split your app into different parts and provide a easy way to navigate

Fix Whatever you can behind the scenes

Use short Phrases, No one wants to read too much to do a simple task!

Use pastel colours or darker colours. ie. one shade lighter or darker than the original color.

Have contrast between the text color and the background color, making it easier to read.

Tricks :

Don't waste much time making animations. Use LayoutTransitions (android 3.0+)

Test your apps on different screen sizes.

Download the color swatches provided by google -click here

Google is your friend. Go to developer.android.com for more guidelines, application fundamentals etc.

Use good typography. Roboto and helvetica are some of the good fonts. Download roboto - click here

Guide on iconography - click here

Warnings! :

Do not use harsh gradients! for eg.. black to white , It makes the app feel cheap.

Try and stay away from putting ads

Do not let the app make decisions for itself, let it ask the user!

Do not make the app too colourful.

Make sure it runs smooth without jitter.

Don't put too much info. at once!

Don't use too flashy colors that hurt the eye.

Again, this isn't meant to be a very long guide, just a few basic things you should keep in mind while designing. For more detailed guidelines use developer.android.com ;)

If i missed something important let me know! :good:

[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] MightySashiman:
Hello there, thanks for this guide.

I am no developer so I don't have to mess with the graphics, but I still often wonder : in android programming, where there will always be the probrem of multiple display size / resolution, why isn't the most primary & most basic guideline to use as much as possible vector graphics instead of bitmap based graphics ? wouldn't it save a huge amount of hassle of having to make gfx resources for different screen sizes ?

thx in advance :)
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] nikwen:
Maybe it would be easier.

However, you would need a proper library to do that. Android does not support adding *.svg vector graphics by default. So all the conversion of the vector graphics need to be done manually. (There are some libs out there, but they do not support all features of *.svg graphics.)

For basic things there is support to do that using the standard Android development APIs provided by Google (declaring drawables in xml files) but it will not be enough for shapes which are more complicated than lines, rectangles or circles or a combination of those.

Addititionally the conversion of vector graphics to bitmaps (graphics consisting of single pixels) would need much processing power and would slow everything down.

Hence *.png and *.9.png files are still the standard way to do that. :)

No ads? How does one go about monetization then? Don't get me wrong. I'm a Windows and Windows Phone developer. I was thinking of porting my apps to Android. I'm just getting started. But I'm using Windows Azure for which I do have to pay for. How should I go about those expenses?
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] nikwen:
Sometimes it should. However, the user should be able to change the default behaviour. Or as the android design guidelines express it:

(http://developer.android.com/design/get-started/principles.html)

Great guide, though. ;)
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] TechMasta:
You can put ads if you want. Just don't bombard the user with them, place them in a way it does not interrupt or come in the way of the user when he is using your app :)
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] TechMasta:
With google's plugin for eclipse you can add your graphics in multiple resolutions by Copying your layout from "layout" folder of resources and paste it in the "layout-land", "layout-xlarge" etc.

Good set of tips for the first version of an app!

The next level of designing should ideally be with testing different design variations via split testing.
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] Ahamed.M:
Making Decisions

Hai,

Thanks for your guide. But I am having a different opinion from one of your warnings.

Let the app make decisions by itself, for example when user deletes an item DELETE it. But do provide an option to UNDO it. Showing another dialog to confirm it, in your words "ask the user", is redundant.

Because providing too many options makes the user overwhelmed in an unexpected way. Choose the best/defaults for your app and provide some ways to configure them [Ex : Colors, Themes, Font size etc]
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] nikwen:
