Hey. I want to share some knowledge I've learned lately. I recently finished my second Android app and made note of interesting things I learned along the way. Hopefully you fellow devs will find it useful and save some time and effort. :)

Lessons Learnt on My Second Android App

Actually, if you like above I've also got two other posts about stuff I learned writing my first Android app. I'm new to XDA so I haven't shared any of that stuff here before.

Releasing an App for Android - Part 1

Releasing an App for Android - Part 2

Hope you enjoy and/or find this helpful :D
[Android Software Development] PicomatStudios:
Interesting read, thanks. Always good to see what new developers go through - screen density and memory would be at the top of the list for many people I think.

One idea for further reading is to research Android's non-compacting garbage collector - it's a surprise to pretty much every Java developer I think - and in some cases can influence the way you design your code.

Hello everybody. About two months ago I bought in fastcardtech a smartphone "HDC Galaxy i9300 Pro Ultimate" which I'm sure many of you know. About three weeks ago I realized that it suddenly began having a terrible problem with the sound volume and qualíty when recording videos and even pure audio. Almost no gain at all and the quality of the recording is clearly low. I don't have any idea of why it began happening all of a sudden.

I saw in the properties of a couple of videos I have made as tests, that the audio bitrate is as incredibly low as 12kbps!! Of course with such a bitrate the rsulting sound quality of a video recording must be horrible. (Appart that the volume is also so low that sometimes one can think that there is no audio at all.

I have reset the smartphone to factory defaults twice or three times with no improvement at all. The problem stays there.

Now I come here --I hope it's not a wrong place-- asking for some help or ideas which could led me to overcome this situation. I was thinking that since reseting the phone has been of no help, maybe a suitable ROM for the phone could be a solution. But, since the smartphone is not an original Galaxy 3, I don't know which ROMs could be candidates for flashing.

I already managed to root the unit.

Here you will see first a capture of the properties of a video test I made, where you will see the extremely low audio bitrate:

I must add that also recording only audio (with the native software or any other downloaded from Google Play) thae sound quality is always very por and the volume very low.

The other picture shows some information of the phone, where it appears among other things, the fake 4.1.9 Android version.

If you need to know anything else about the smartphone to be able to give me a better help, just tell me and I will try to give you the details you might ask for.

In advance, thank you very much for any ideas, info, etc. Regards.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qktb:
Tested on Windows 7:

- start installing HTC Sync, the software which comes with your phone (and can also be downloaded from HTC web site).

- it begins with telling you it needs to install Adobe AIR, something else, and the drivers... let it continue at that stage.

- once the previous step is done and installer asks if you want to start installation of HTC Sync software -- select [Cancel]

This way the drivers needed for adb and fastboot get installed while the rest of the (not so useful) HTC software is not installed at all.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
You realize that everyone on this forum knows that, don't you?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
actually ur wrong, u need different drivers for fastboot

ADB & Fastboot Guide
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qktb:
1. There is a lot of info distributed among lots of guides, signatures, stickies, etc. Probably everything has been discussed and described somewhere some time ago. Maybe I'm slow, but it took me a while to find and figure out what is needed for what. I find short posts with quick and specific answers to specific problems/challenges quite useful.

2. Keep in mind that there are people using Google search who view xda forums in the middle of some long thread with lots of comments, trouble reports, etc. Not registered users. Maybe a short brief description will help someone?

3. I knew about stand-alone driver sets or "install/uninstall HTC Sync" way of installing the drivers, but someone may save some time knowing that it is enough just to cancel the installation after pre-requisites are installed.

Still if you think this thread is useless I will not cry and have no hard feelings if it is deleted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qktb:
For me both adb and fastboot work fine with the method described. There was nothing HTC-related installed earlier on the PC, it is a new laptop.

Edit: actually you are right and I am right (I guess): different drivers are needed and used for fastboot operation, but all of them are installed with the process described, no further action is needed when using fastboot later on. Windows just says "Installing drivers..." on the first use.

Hi all!

When I try to read an extended ROM image with the softworkz ER2003Edit tool, I get an error-box saying "Error accessing image files", no matter which ROM I try to load (have tried several operators/countries). What am I doing wrong?

Thx.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BadBoy18:
I've got the same problem.

anyone any idea pls????

thnx
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zairyaab:
i had the same problem, i kept on messing with the application and eventually was through.

Reason :

when you open er2003edit and click on file and then open rom image a window pops up, over most of us tend to go directly to the file which we want to open, BUT in actual you are suppose to change the FILES OF TYPE in that window at the bottom and select "WM2003 EXTENDED ROM (ms_.nbf)" and then open the file.

this will solve the issue FOR SURE :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Hi all,

Trying to install an apk each time my prime boots because it keeps getting removed each boot. Do you guys have any idea how to do this? I looked into init scripts and it looks like that's specifically for CPU/governor/etc tweaks.

I'm trying to install the ICS google keyboard on my prime (I'm on androwook 2.11) but I can't put it into /system/apps because it doesn't work (I get an error: app android keyboard is not responding...or something like that). However, the solution I found is to install the apk over the broken /system/apps/ install. That works, but each time I boot, I have to reinstall for some reason. I don't mind this, but I would love if I could find a way to do this automatically, or if I could make it run without an error in /system/apps.

Ideas?

Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] EpicLPer:
I also use Androwook 2.11 now and have no problem at all with it.

Did you activate the ASUS keyboard in settings? Cause it shouldn't even use the Google one when a dock is connected.

One try is to flash Androwook new. Maybe that helps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
I'm not sure I follow...asus is enabled but not selected as my keyboard. What do you mean? I also had the same issue on the stock rom.

I have an AT&T HTC One X that's rooted. I wanted to put Cyanogenmod 10 on it, but I accidently wiped the System files instead of the cache. Now it can't boot up regularly, I've tried using Rom Update Utility but it doesn't seem to work. Factory Reset doesn't seem to work either. I didn't expect this to happen because my friend just flashed his a couple of days ago. I've tried making a backup and restoring but no matter what I can't get the phone to start up normally. Unless I put it in TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) or the HBoot/Bootloader I really can't use it for anything. Any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it. Also when bootloader opens it says "Tampered" and under it "Unlocked" because I did root it. It didn't have "Tampered" when I first rooted it.

I don't care about Cyanogenmod 10 anymore I just want to have it working again.

Everything else about the phone is in perfect condition but what I just said is the only problem.
