[About XDA developers] Perseus:
Errrm. Just a Friendly suggestion. The Links you have bellow the images on left, perhaps could be centered so that your overall signature height is less. This tall a signature is likely to be frowned upon.
[About XDA developers] droidbits:
Hmmm...I had actually considered that (although one sees much worse around the Forum). It does not mean I have to do the same though and have it like others do (as tall).

I actually had the "gut feeling" it was a bit tall. No probs...I will change that today.

Thanks for the tip Mod.
[About XDA developers] Perseus:
[Mod Hat On/]

Yes certainly aware that there is worse out there. We do action when noticed or reported.

[/Mod Hat Off]

That tip wasn't given as a Mod. It was, like I said, just a friendly suggestion from one forum member to another. I do other things too on XDA apart from Purple colored stuff. :D
[About XDA developers] droidbits:
Thank you. Making changes ASAP. :D

Edit: [MENTION=3639717]Perseus[/MENTION] Ok so I have reduced the length by 3cm on-screen size (from 9cm to 6cm (!!!!!). Much better I agree. Does it look ok for you or do you recommend further changes? Regards.

Edit 2: Humm actually a few hours have gone past since I have shortened the sig and in the next couple of days (no time now) I will make a further change which is to scale down with Gimp the 3 top images (which now I think are too big and disproportionate). Starting to like the slogan..."small is better". ;)
[About XDA developers] xunholyx:
My opinion, your sig looks real good.
[About XDA developers] droidbits:
Thank you! You are very kind!!! I try to make it look good and personal lol. ;)
[About XDA developers] Perseus:
Yes this is indeed reasonably well.
[About XDA developers] droidbits:
Ok perhaps my last post on this. No point posting any further as I think I have achieved the final and best outcome.

Signature is now 4,5cm from the original 9cm (OMG !!!!!).

I have now scaled down with GIMP

all the images

considerably a great deal. Not only looks better but it now saves a lot of space on the xda forum.

Thanks for all the help (

to everyone

) on this. Great thread! ;)

Is there any way to get the cyanogenmod camera without installing the rom? Like I have pa3 and I love this rom and don't wanna switch over to cm just for the camera, so is there like an apk file or zip file to install and use the cm camera on pa3?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDarkKV:
Just extract the camera apk from the cm rom and flash it..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuckFuggets:
I tried, idk how :/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
You can't flash a apk file. You install it from the phone not in recovery mode.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDarkKV:
I didn't mean flash the apk, I meant zip it into the appropriate folders and flash it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchdickson:
There's no zipping and flashing. You push the apk to system/app/, set permissions and reboot.

Sent from my iPad 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuckFuggets:
Idk how to do any of that :/ what should the camera apk be called? How do I set permissions? Will it still work after I update my rom or flash gapps?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchdickson:
Search the cm thread. Will find all of your answers there.

Sent from my iPad 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuckFuggets:
I tried that, couldn't find an answer, so then I posted this thread. Like I found gallery2.apk, went to install it and it didn't install. Then I didn't know what to do after that so I gave up
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchdickson:
Giving up won't get you anywhere.

Using a root file explorer, go to system/app/, mount as r/w, and copy that gallery apk to the directory. Set permissions to be the same as the other apk's in the directory. Reboot.

Sent from my iPad 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuckFuggets:
Ok I'll do that. How do I set permissions though?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchdickson:
Depends on the file explorer. Usually, long press the apk after copying it, select permissions or similar. They'll need to be set as rw-r--r--.

Searching the cm thread just yielded great results for me by the way.

Sent from my iPad 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuckFuggets:
Thanks a lot I'll try it out and let you know how it works. And really? When I went there I couldn't find any information :/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchdickson:
Good luck. Feel free to PM me if you need any more help.

Sent from my iPad 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuckFuggets:
Hmm so I did all the things you said, but when I go to open it says gallery has stopped without even opening. What do I do now? :/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchdickson:
You sure you fixed permissions correctly?

Try clearing app data.

Sent from my iPad 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuckFuggets:
I think so, I long pressed and tapped on permissions, I got a 3x3 grid and then looked at other apps in the folder, the grids looked the same. I even went into cwm and did the fix permissions thing there also. And ya I tried that, didn't work

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikram112:
Hi,

I have a HTC One running JB 4.1.2. I am confused by the location settings available in various places in jelly bean. In my previous phone running gingerbread, all the location related settings were under 1 tab. In JB, its under various tabs and apps. I am wondering what purpose some of these settings cater to. I am listing all the location related settings available in JB 4.1 below:

1. settings > Accounts & Sync > Google > Location settings > Let Google apps access your location

I believe this setting has to be enabled for google services such as maps, google now, google+, etc. to function.

2. settings > Location > Google's location service

the description is given as 'allows anonymous location data to be sent to google. Also allows permitted apps to use data from sources such as wifi and mobile networks to determine your approximate location.'

settings > Location >Location & Google search

Description: 'Location used to improve google search results and other google services'

3. Google maps > settings > location settings > Under background location reporting > Location reporting (has 3 options: automatically detect my location, update location manually, do not update location)

Google maps > settings > location settings > Under background location reporting > Report from this device

If you use the above location reporting option and use same username for multiple devices, on whichever device you select this option will only report location.

There are also other options under this setting like enable location sharing, enable location history, etc.

From my research, i found out if you wish to use maps and like google search results tailored to your location, then 'Let Google apps access your location' and 'Location & Google search' setting need to be enabled. Also for information, i have disabled 'Location reporting' setting listed in No .3 by selecting 'do not update location' and also disabled all other location settings listed in No. 3. But it has not affected google maps, google search, weather, google news. Kindly educate me on the other two settings i mentioned above.

I wish to know what exactly 'Google's location service' setting listed in 2 and 'Location reporting' setting in 3 does. Which apps do they exist for? I am asking this because some of these location settings i have listed above appear to have similar functionality going by their description (though that would not be the case) and i wish to know the difference. I also wish to safely disable some of these settings to conserve battery but without affecting functionality of apps like maps, search, news, weather.

Thanks,

Vikram

[Android Software Development] clark44:
Very nice tool!

One feature request, could you have a checkbox for say the -b command so that we can get rid of the useless .linexx and .prologue lines? That would make this tool perfect :)

Another feature is adding the twframework-res.apk as a framework file? Thats essential for modding samsung system apk's. I usually have to install both twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk before decompiling. Maybe adding 2 slots for the framework in the tool?

Thanks again!!
[Android Software Development] androsamace:
Good work bro....

Very nice..
[Android Software Development] Flextrick:
Sure, adding a second slot will be no problem!

But I don't know what you mean with this checkbox, could you explain me exactly what you mean?

~ via Nexus
[Android Software Development] clark44:
When I decompile using baksmali this is the command I run...

java -jar baksmali.jar -b -o c:/smali c:/smali/classes.dex

The -b command prompts baksmali to remove all .line type code from the smali.

Here is an example .smali file before and after the -b command...

BEFORE: http://pastebin.com/gYKQ90cW

AFTER: http://pastebin.com/17i8k1X2

This method of decompiling smali makes it much much simpler to compare to other code.

Thanks!! :highfive:
[Android Software Development] Flextrick:
Ah, I'm understanding. Yes, I think that's possible as well! :)

~ via Nexus
[Android Software Development] clark44:
Cool. Cant wait :)

One more thing, will you be adding the ability to decompile more then one apk/jar?
[Android Software Development] Flextrick:
At once? Would work, I think.

Two possibilities:

The first apk decompiles, and then the second one

Or: Both are decompiling at the same time, but in two different processes.

~ via Nexus
[Android Software Development] clark44:
One then the second and so on would save the most memory and prevent crashes on weaker machines

Strange request, but I'm requesting a name change because of a few reasons. If you don't know, I've been working on the real Apktool v2.0 (branch wip-2.0) for a little over 8 months now.

I've now had about 9 messages, 4 emails, and a ton of irc messages about why I released Apktool v2 since this article went live. Is there anyway you can rename this? I'm getting tons of messages asking about Apktool v2, and they redirect me to this. Which is nothing but a GUI for apktool. Which happens to be named very closely, if not the exact thing as the original product causing confusing for users.

Its also very confusing as the versions match up with the upcoming release of Apktool v2.

Please :)
