How to draw arc in AppWidget?

Hey Guys,

I am trying to make an arc clock widget, something like this and the attached colorful arc clock, but i am unable to create the arc in AppWidget due to the restrictions on it.

I have tried to draw arc in canvas and fit it in ImageView but it gives a blurry arc and it takes time to render. :rolleyes: (attached image with blue background)

Also tried using custom components, which is not allowed in AppWidgets :eek:

I just want to know how to use an arc in the widget, i will add animations and other stuff later on. Thanks for your help in advance. I am stuck on this since last 5 days, please help me out.

And if you could tell me how to add the curved text like the one in the attached screenshot, that will be a bonus for me :laugh:

You can flash the stock firmware to remove the trojan then find your rooting method then do the custom recovery and ROM.

Most kernels I've used are flashable zips to be flashed through recovery the same as ROMs are.

[General Questions and Answers] Juice3250:
Ok. So I'm somewhat familiar with some of the terminology but am trying to get some clarification.

I hear different terms thrown out there and am wondering what they all mean and how they are related to each other.

-Kernels

-Modems

-Radios

-Firmware

-Bootchains

Are any of these terms interchangeable? I understand that you flash .zip files in custom recovery and .tar files in odin. If I flash a kernel what does it affect?

Please someone explain these terms to me in laimenz terms. Or point me to the correct thread.

Google Voice Typing

Hi All,

I am using an excellent ROM for my Xperia Ray called Iced Bean. It's really smooth and stable. It's the best ROM I've used on my Ray. I would post a question on the developer page, but I haven't reached the 10 post limit yet. Perhaps someone can help me here.

Here's the problem, Google Voice Typing isn't working. Under Settings/Languages/ Google Voice Typing is grayed out. Any ideas on how to fix it? I've searched through forums and tried a few things, but nothing works. My next step is to try downloading the Google Keyboard to see if that helps. Perhaps it is part of most Jelly Bean ROMS, but not included in Iced Bean.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Some Answers

Hi Juice3250, I will try to help explain the differences between some of the terms you list above. I'm doing this from memory to try to keep it in Layman's terms. I'm not familiar with all of them, however.

Kernel - This is base processor controller for a computer or smart phone. Some call it an Engine as it tells the processor how to handle data throughput. A Kernel is designed to optimize the hardware, so some kernels work well with one piece of hardware, but not with another.

Firmware - This is the base operating system for the hardware. It contains the Kernel, but also all the device drivers and some base software. Most firmware from phone manufacturers contain a user interface (ROM). If you have a phone from say Samsung, the out of the package software, user interface, kernel, etc. are all part of the base firmware. If Samsung then upgrades the user software, it is upgrading the firmware. Many users on this site like to Root their phones so they can install a custom ROM in place of the manufacturer provided user interface. A ROM replaces a lot of parts of the firmware, but leaves the hardware drivers and kernel. To modify those components, a user needs to unlock the bootloader.

Radio - A radio is any part of the phone that communicates wirelessly out of the phone. This can include the phone antenna, wifi, bluetooth, FM antenna, etc.

Modem - A modem is link between a computer and a data network via telephone. In wireless phone speak, a computer uses the phone's data connection to connect to the internet. Data passes from the computer to the phone to the phone's wireless carrier data network.

Bootchains - Not sure what this is. Bootloops maybe? If you mean a bootloop, this is what happens when a phone get stuck while booting. It enters a never ending loop of booting and rebooting.

Hope that helps.

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

Sounds like you have a bricked phone. It can be fixed with a little patience. Do not despair. You will probably have to reinstall the factory firmware for the phone using Flashtool. To do this, you will need to find Flashtool and the firmware for your phone.

Here is one link for some firmware http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1677285

Lagginess

Hi guys, I bought a 2nd hand LG Optimus LTE LU6200 that came with ICS 4.0.4 and upgraded to Jellybean 4.1.2 using the LG Update Tool, but afterwards I noticed the phone was prone to lag spikes and hiccups (especially with games and web browsing) and when I checked CPU-Z, the CPU usage always hovers around 50% when idle. Not sure if it's really supposed to be like this.

I'm planning to flash Sphinx V4 when it comes out, but I wanted to see if this lag may be normal for the stock JB ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] ADDICT.ANK:
I guess u flashed the rom over ur data

Which are causing lags.

So its better if you flash after cleaning ur data first.

Would remove the lags and other issues.

And make a backup before flashing.
[General Questions and Answers] DonMigs85:
Thanks. Maybe LG's own official update tool is lousy.

I already rooted the phone and will install CWM recovery later. I think Sphinx V4 is coming soon so I'll wait for that instead of putting V3.

What's the best way to check for bugs?

Once you've downloaded and flashed a new ROM, how many days or usage hours should one take to properly test out the device?
[General Questions and Answers] ADDICT.ANK:
Bigger Bugs would show up from the start and some minor ones would take time as they are discovered while using...so it depends mostly on the usage..

Still no specified time as the os settles and the usage starts ,if there are any conflicts due to compatibility they will show up..

And I need suitable locker for my phone
[General Questions and Answers] tetakpatak:
It is good to ask, mate- you're very welcome. And this is not easy on the beginning. So if you want to flash only kernel, it must be compatible with your device and FW# as well. But if you flash whole ROM, it just must be compatible with your device. Be careful as SGS4 is very new and sometimes AT&T models differ then international model. So just be sure you flash the proper files, otherwise it could go very wrong way.

Things are already going very wrong and I have not even tried to Flash a new ROM, I was just trying to do something called a NAND backup using TWRP app and for a while I was able to get into boot into the recovery mode but I wasnt seeing the backup and restore option. I then downloaded something called Goo and tried to get into recovery mode but now all I see is something about ODEN mode and downloading something and I cannot use my phone. Oh man, the jailbreak stuff was so much easier. I will try to restore from a Kies backup when I get home I guess.

Well actually that makes perfect sense as to why the root method and recovery for the 530H worked on my 530AZ! My 530AZ is the cricket wireless varient, and the 530H is the AT&T varient. And we all know who cricket is owned by. Thanks! And one more thing, would it be useful for anyone to know that i did NOT trip KNOX when rooting? I think i remember reading that the CF file i used WOULD trip KNOX, but that was on the 530H. It wasnt so with my 530AZ though.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If that's the case then the most I think you would have to do is edit the APNs to Crickets APN settings. You might not even have to do that since you'll still be running on the same towers, as long as your IMEI remains intact after flashing it will register on the network as cricket but still operate on the network as AT&T.

I had to edit APNs in my ROMs, I can use Straight talks(tracfone) APNs and Verizon's APNs, either works for me because the device registers as Straight talk but can use the network on the Verizon side or Straight talk(tracfone) side, my device is 3G but the Verizon S3 is 4G, so I have to use a Verizon LTE 4G SIM card to get cell signal and 3G, weird I know, but it won't work without it, it won't turn the radio on without a SIM inserted, it can actually work just fine with any SIM inserted but with a NON 4G SIM the stock MMS won't work, everything else works fine and even MMS can still be used with a third party app.

Anyway, you get the drift.
