I know of multiple people that rather than pursuing a degree in programming they taught themselves through online resources (articles/tutorials). Granted this path is only suited for a person that is a self starter, but you will probably learn more. With this path you would probably not be able to apply for a job a large company immediately. You would first have build up your experience by doing side projects and working for smaller companies.

The best example I know is a friend of mine that doesn't have a degree, but learned on his own. He started out building a couple blog sites using Wordpress. He then sold his blog site for a couple thousand dollars. From there he got a job with a local website design firm and moved up to their head project manager and partner. He was in talks with buying out one partner, when he got a job with FireEngineRed as there lead mobile app designer.

I personally wouldn't spend money on a degree from a for profit school, but everyone has a unique situation. Good luck man.

I've been looking for a stylus for the HTC One because I miss the S-pen on the Note 2. Anyone know which one is close to be as good as the S-pen ? Where can I buy it ?
[One (M7) Accessories] Android_Noob_2k12:
Your not going to find anything similar to the s-pen because that was an actual stylus and the phone was designed for it. You can get a capacitive stylus but that would be almost the same as just using your finger. Anyway Waco, the company that makes the bamboo pad for Mac, makes some really nice capacitive stylus's. I'd recommend them.

Hi there, I wanted to boot CWM onto my Toshiba Folio 100 so I could finally install Foliomod and get Google Play Store on it but it seems it doesn't boot anymore, I followed a guide and I used the command ''fastboot -u -S 0 flash linux boot.img'' but since it failed I replaced it with the recovery.img (CWM) it was on my android folder, now it wont even boot onto the system anymore, just boots to CWM recovery and thats it.

A little help here please? I'm already downloading a Folio Stock rom.

About:

Hey guys, I was doing some experiments with gapps and I found a way to save a little space in our devices. Yeah, I ripped some stuff from the zip in order to make it lightweight (mostly unused libs from our device, like front camera unlocking and that kind of stuff).

Notes:

- It works on every CM9 rom. No exceptions.

- I personally updated Play Store (4.0.27) and Genie Widget (1.3.11) to their latest versions, since those gapps were released on 29/04/12'

- The normal gapps zip

- Press thanks if you feel it.

How to install:

Just select zip, flash and wipe cache partition.

So...

If you have a question or you're just an giant n00b that doesn't know how to flash a zip, post down here. lol.

Download

Have a nice pootis. :good:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Themes and Apps] f3tus:
So if you already have the full gapps installed... You have to do a full wipe and flash this?

Maybe it'd be easier if you just made a list of all the files that one can delete, or even better, a script that deletes them.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Themes and Apps] darknessx10:
Nope, this zip is meant to be used after a fresh CM9 install
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Themes and Apps] f3tus:
Yeah, but can't you make a list of all the libraries and stuff you deleted? We could just delete them from the phone after installing regular gapps, right?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Themes and Apps] darknessx10:
I'll try :good: I can't remember all the files I ripped, but I'll try...

[Ouya General] professorpoptart:
This is a consolidated step by step for getting Google Play Music side loaded on the OUYA.

After the 5/21/2013 system update I had to redo the su install, as it wipes the system.

The first step is to install su and busybox.... Or to setup your computer for adb...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2270589

To get google play music you need the 3 files listed below, I pulled the login and framework apks out of a 4.1.2 gapps zip.

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip

the files are in /system/app

The music apk can be found here... or do a quick google...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1350164

1) com.google.android.music-1.apk

2) googleloginservice.apk

3) googleservicesframework.apk

Put the files in the same folder as adb.exe you used in the su busy box install.

How to:

0. Connect to the device. if you followed the first link about su you should have wireless adb.

adb connect 192.168.xxx.xxx

1. Push the files over to the sdcard.

adb push GoogleLoginService.apk /sdcard/.

adb push GoogleServicesFramework.apk /sdcard/.

adb push com.google.android.music-1.apk /sdcard/.

2. Open a super user shell.

adb shell

su

3. Copy the files over to the system/app directory

cat /sdcard/GoogleLoginService.apk > /system/app/GoogleLoginService.apk

cat /sdcard/GoogleServicesFramework.apk > /system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk

cat /sdcard/com.google.android.music-1.apk > /system/app/com.google.android.music-1.apk

4. Set permissions on the system/apps files.

chmod 644 /system/app/GoogleLoginService.apk

chmod 644 /system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk

chmod 644 /system/app/com.google.android.music-1.apk

5. Exit and reboot.

exit

exit

adb reboot

6. When you launch the music app it will ask you to login to your google account.

7.Enjoy!

*remember any future updates will most likely remove any changes you made to system.

** I ran this on the 328 ota and got a few googleframework FC's when signing into google, I just closed out of them and its ran fine since.

*edit - typos, thanks zdraw

**edit - efficiency/least privilege permissions
[Ouya General] sonofskywalker3:
Thanks! I'm going to try this tonight.
[Ouya General] zdraw:
Worked for me but you have a few typos. There's no location after "adb push com.google.android.music-1.apk". You switched from GoogleLoginService to Services (not a big deal). In section 4, it should be app instead of apps. If your intent was to trip up copy-pasters you succeeded :D
[Ouya General] professorpoptart:
That's what I get for re-typing rather then copy-pasting! lol
[Ouya General] MadDucks:
So I get about a few seconds into a song, and my Ouya just turns itself off... Thoughts? Logs I can look at?
[Ouya General] professorpoptart:
Theres 2 ways we can do logcat, $ or #

First try a user logcat:

Adb shell

Logcat > /sdcard/log.txt

Then get the music app to crash

then stop the logcat (close terminal or cmd window...)

then take a look at the file for clues! ... or post it here for help.

For a root logcat do the same thing but type su once in shell... a ton more info is there if we cant find anything in the user logcat.

Thought though. .. are you on wifi or hard line? Put a bandwidth speed test app on the ouya and see what your speeds look like.
[Ouya General] APriestOfGix:
My problem is selecting the log in option does not bring up a log in window. I got this loaded on no problem (using the .apk via drop box), and can get it to open, but not log in. Any idea's?

[Ouya General] coleshill121:
My Ouya arrived yesterday, this is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping to see on xda! I'll check this out now. Would it help if we flashed the zip from CWM rather than pushing the individual apks?

[Ouya General] gianptune:
Why on earth would you chmod these to 6755? you do know what the 6 stands for, dont you? My guess is you probably dont. How about the 755? No? Apks are zip files. They do not get executed. You probably want to chmod them to 644.

If i can find a way to log into my google account i can make a flashable zip and probably get the play store working too :/
[Ouya General] rjbell4:
No Google account?

I following the directions, which look like they've been edited with the feedback provided already. I used the two APKs from the link provided, and the Google Play Music APK from the link provided, too. The latter had a different filename, but I renamed it, just in case.

I can launch Google Play Music fine, but all I get is a simple menu. There are no prompts to log in, and frankly not much to do. If I pull up my Android settings, I see an Ouya account listed, but not a Google one (nor a prompt to add one). If I pull up apps and go to "All", I have "Google Play Music" and "Google Account Manager" and "Google Framework Services".

Any ideas what I should try next?
[Ouya General] faxanidu:
You did hit the "U" button in google music and went to settings > google account right?
[Ouya General] rjbell4:
Um, er, ...

Well, I thought I did. To be fair, this is brand new, and there are a couple of "U" buttons. I guess I hit the U-in-OUYA button once, and had only double-tapped the special-light-up-U button. Single-tapping that button pulls up settings, and I can connect, and now I'm listening to Google Play Music All-Access though my TV.

Pretty awesome... thanks, everyone.
[Ouya General] faxanidu:
LOL. no problem man it happens took me like 2 days to figure out you can do that for almost all aps as the menu button on your phone. But now im still trying to figure out why i cant login to google. you using wifi or LAN???
[Ouya General] rjbell4:
I started with WiFi, and before I tried and got it to work, I plugged in an Ethernet cable. My Ouya currently has two IP addresses, one for each interface. I presume that means that it would actively use the LAN interface, but I'm not certain.
[Ouya General] faxanidu:
hmmmm probably gonna have to go to a friends house since the roommate has a wifi router with no lan ports. Everytime i try to log in via wifi logcat says "failed to interface wlan0" -.-

[HTC Amaze 4G] UhmierSmith:
Does the OEM cable work faster or something? Or is it irrelevant
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
The speed of charging depends on the wall plug not the cable. I'm not too sure why HTC changed the plug. Someone else can chime in for that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lulzmaster:
HTC changed the cable so that it doubles as an HDMI output with the proper adapter. The official cable does charge a bit faster than a standard microusb, but no other functionality should be lost if you don't buy one of those cables. There are only a handful of HTC devices that use it now, and If I'm correct all of them border on obsolete now.

For the past few months I have been getting a pop-up asking me to upgrade my device. If i push to upgrade my phone reboots and tries to flash and then fails and boots up.

I have also noticed that my 3G access seems to be very spotty. If i am in a 4g area that works great but when I can only get 3g i end up with no data at all. I am hoping the upgrade could fix this issue. Do i need to unroot my device to get the software to upgrade? I tried using VooDoo OTA RootKeeper to save my root but the update still fails.
