I would just wipe and flash like normal, then after you're all done move the files u want to keep out of the "0" folder. I read somewhere that you can safely do that. So just keep what u want and delete the rest. That's how I would go about doing it. Might want to try the PAC ROM. Don't know if the BT thing is fixed. Prolly not since it's cm based.

How to let function wait AsyncTask finish then only perform return, purposely my function need to get a result processed from AsyncTask, any expert can help?
[Java for Android App Development] SimplicityApks:
You cannot let a method running in the UI (main) Thread of your application wait for an Async task to finish, that would block the UI Thread and result in an "App is not responding" dialog. To use Async tasks and get the result, read this documentation, especially "The 4 steps". You'd have to use the onPostExecute(Result) method to get the result. You can then call the function which needs the result again. But never wait for an async task to finish, that's not the point of it!
[Java for Android App Development] Zatta:
I've just posted such a onPostExecute example here, seems this is exactly what you asked for by coincidence..
[Java for Android App Development] lye85:
thanks for all reply, but is there any other to call ksoap without using Asynctask?
[Java for Android App Development] nikhilgupta90:
Android- Asynchronous

Here You have Many options with you like

1. Just Load Your required UI Page After the Post Execute Method

2. Just Show Dummy Text firstly then update the ui after you get your response.

3. Just take one flag which is updatinng on post execute method after that u can update your ui
[Java for Android App Development] ssuukk:
First question would be - why are you using ASYNCtaks if what you require seems to be a sync task :D If you're using it because you want to change GUI when the task is finished, the easiest way would be of course to use onPostExecuted method of AsyncTask. The other way would be to supply a callback/runnable to your async task (but why would you do that when there's onPostExecuted is beyond my comprehension).

Note that on Android you have to think asynchronically. I've tried to wait for async tasks to finish, but believe me - it was not worth it and I was severely punished!

Why is it, that the files on the ftp from xda are removed so often and so fast?

One minute the files are there, the other they are gone! Is there so little space on this server(s)?

For example: many, many people are asking for the original T-Mobile ROM for the Magican/T-Mobile MDA Compact. Once placed on the ftp, the problem should be solved I think! But why is it deleted every time?

Hi,

What is the best approach to implement different designs for tablets and phones. I have an application which has a totally different design on tablet than phone. Is it advisable to keep both in the same apk? or make separate APKs?

Thanks in advance
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] SimplicityApks:
Use a single apk. It's not a good practice on Android to publish a "HD" version of your app as it is often seen in iOS. You can easily create to different xml layout files and put the one for Tablets in the layout-large folder.
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] nikwen:
Yeah, use resource modifiers and flexible layouts using Fragments.

Google has got a great documentation on that topic.

Google for "android designing for different screens".
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] nikwen:
Check this answer I posted in another thread:
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] karimaelo:
Thanks alot for your answers... Even if the design is totally different for each application!!
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] zylski:
The best approach if you have custom images is to make different images sizes for each image and put them in the corresponding dpi folder in the res folder so that the app pulls the nearest image size from the dpi folder that it needs to do that same with the layout make a low medium high and xdpi layout file so that the app can layout its elements in the correct way for each dpi setting
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] morxs:
Yes, you can. As long as you know when it is tablet or not and you will carefully defining and crafting the UI on the java code. There are some techniques to define if the current device is tablet or not (but not 100% true if let say later there are android phones has full hd with 1080p or more). One of the technique is by defining value on the res/values (for phone) with boolean value isTablet = false; define value on res/value-large and values-swXXXdp (where XXX is your target pixel for tablet) with boolean value of isTablet = true.

From the java code you can simply get the values and start from there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikieperikie:
I discovered an unusually high data usage (Wi-Fi, luckily) from APK Extractor by Kim Heeseok (This one, to be precise). You can see it in the screenshots attached. I know this app can't have used so much data, since I've only used it once for testing purposes and I never sent a single byte through the app.

I find this suspicious, because the app has the rights of reading /sdcard, installing apps and use the internet. It could have uploaded large parts of my /sdcard to who-knows-where!

I deleted the app immediately for security reasons and since I already have another app installed that can do the same.

What are your thoughts on this? Should I report this in the Play Store or is this data usage somehow erroneously recorded as if APK Extractor was the culprit? I don't want to speak badly of a perfectly fine app.

My current phone details are in my sig.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CustardNOM:
I picked up a Galaxy Note the other day to mess around with, and have noticed that the battery life isn't fantastic.

I'm running Slim Bean 4.2.2 build 7, and NX OC kernal. The only relevant settings I've changed in the kernel utility are the clockspeed (from 1.4 to 1.6) and the governor (from Hyper to SmartassV2). Battery is stock.

Here's an Imgur album with screenshots of everything I think you'd need to see: http://imgur.com/a/fAUR7

Now, am I missing something, or does this look right? Should 'Android OS' be using that much battery?

Thanks a lot in advance for anyone that can help.

OK, so first and foremost then playing games will use a lot of battery. Usually you can't get more than 2h of intensive games. However the android OS usage is very high, install Better Battery Stats (search on XDA) and post the result. Also did you perform a clean install?

install a recovery like CWM. Then wipe dalvic cache and reboot. Do this if you realy need to solve this.

Hi.! Just wanted to know I bought sandisk 64gb ultra class 10 . Exfat seem slow n take more boot time n low speed too ..then I formatted it using Ubuntu last night n restored my data kaboom ...its snappy like my other Sandisk 32gb ultra class 10 :) ...and 2nd it works with any custom recovery like Philz or TWRP without a glitch....though TWRP claims it support exfat SD but ...some how It seem not sure.

2nd currect me if im wrong about ...does philz recovery support exfat .?..for NOTE 2 ? And philz does not though if currect...it do for other phones ..though

Tip

Always use fat32 with 64 gb class 10 and use anything else windows tools to format sd (seems windows got some flaws with mico sd) eg use only mac or lunix (Ubuntu) you never bump in any problems ...like others on blog . :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narada2XK:
exFAT. You'll need to flash a recovery that states it's compatible with exFAT. I was using a CWM Recovery that worked just fine with exFAT and was on Cyanogenmod 10.1

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmax81:
Thats what I said ....read up ...TWRP say it support but ....it really can not detect exfat Sd at all...and other CWM is not safe sds bug ...many people landed up with sds or dead 64gb sd cards ....

And I do not thin CM 10 support exfat on note 2 either I was on it too but now on Waman v 3.7 with adam kernel...

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] re_mo:
You cannot copy file larger then 4 GB to Fat32 file system. Doesn't matter what tool you are using. This is Fat32 limitation.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] re_mo:
But not supported by n2 kernel.

I don't fully understand what you are trying to say ;)

For sure both s3 and n2 are supporting exfat and for sure philz recovery is working with it. On n2 I'm using it every day. On S3 i have tried few months ago.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmax81:
I wish...ntfs support was there but on mac users its problem they can read only not write ...and windows ignore any fat 32 partion which is greater then limit ...so sandisk choosen exfat for flash media storage.

And on Android its sucks with exfat with low speed +boot time mount with 64gb class 10...not good enough....nor Ntfs support. ..only on custom kernels n recoverys ...

So best option is to format it with fat32 with non windows os...... for better mount time n speeds ..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] re_mo:
For me Fat32 is unusable because of its limitations.

I don't have any issues with exfat. Boot time is the same for card formatted with exfat (64gb SanDisk) and for fat32 (32gb adata), just tried it. For every day use like watching and recording movies, installing roms, copying files it's speed is just fine but I admit that I have never compared speeds between different file systems.

If you have root you can try paragon ntfs mounter. It can mount ntfs in rw but it won't be supported by recovery.

Point is are you sure ...that you using exfat with philz recovery and which version u using? Lol n im okie with 4 gb per file ....even we all were using 32 gb card or less with fat32.no matter whatever class.. lol end of da day its just smart phone not pc ...I never used data file ...4gb or over ...never faced issues though
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] re_mo:
I'm sure that Note2 with Philz recovery is working fine with exfat. Now I'm using latest version from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2028103 but i have used it with older versions too.

Maybe your file system was damaged. If you have time try to reformat your card using exfat and try again.

[HTC Amaze 4G] zoomboom:
Hi everyone,

I was hoping I could get some ideas from the community on how to solve my problem with the HTC Locations app.

So, background. I own an Wind Mobile HTC Amaze 4G. Never rooted, modded, etc. I did unlock it when I first got it. It's not caused problems since.

I use the HTC locations app extensively and successfully. However, before a recent trip to New York, I tried downloading the newest maps by selecting the 'Get more' option. It started downloading, but somewhere along the way either my phone or the app shut down. The existing map itself works, but when I try to access 'Get More' and to to the 'my licenses and content' page in order to finish downloading it, I get the 'Locations has stopped unexpectedly' error and it returns me to the map. Whenever I restart my phone, I also sometimes get a network connection error download failed type message in my status bar generated by HTC Locations that I can only clear - it's essentially saying it could complete the download.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have an T-mobile mda compact for a few days now. It's really an excellent machine!

Under one contact I have several phonenumbers. For example:

Michael home +31 (0348) 123456

Michael mobile +31 61234567890

The problem is my area code in outlook is 0348 so my MDA won't dial it (it dials +31 123456) and I get a awnseringmachine that sais: sorry, this number is not available.

The mobile number had nothing between the ( ) so that's no problem.

I changed my area code in outlook 2003 and country, but to bad. When I dial with outlook after changing the areacode it will dial the full number, but my MDA won't :?

Anyone an idea :?:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louie68:
Long story so please bear with me. I have a Sprint I9505. I had installed a rom which made me lose mobile data and I eventually called Sprint to help me restore it. I of course did not mention that They did a great job of helping me but one of the things that they made me do was a hard reset. I did so and went about going through the process of re-configuring my phone but it will not let me get past the wi-fi set-up screen because the wi-fi will not turn on. So that's where I am stuck. I rebooted into recovery mode and see that I still have CMW installed but it will not read my external 64g card nor will it let me mount it. My intent was to restore a nandroid back-up that I had made prior to installing the rom that gave me the issues. But no luck. I have my phone next to me and although it is not going past the wifi set up screen, I still hear my phone vibrate and the screen turns on so I assume that I'm still receiving notifications. I tried to install the I9505 firmware and go back to stock but it fails everytime with about 10 percent to go. I tried to download the firmware for Sprint but it gives me a download error after completion (I assume that it is a PC issue not a firmware issue). So I'm assuming that I'm not totally screwed since I can still get into recovery mode. I'm in a bit of a time crunch since I'm going out of the country Saturday and would like a working phone before then. Thanks to all of you in advance for any help that you can provide.
