Well, I have just swapped from Lumia 920 to HTC One and I knew straight away, that the upgrade will be a real camera downgrade, and not just because of megapixels.

HTC One's camera handles very poorly at very bright sun light, hdr is underperforming as well but other than that, it is more then enough for daily shots.

Moving from WP back to Android was absolutely worth it, I don't know why I was tempted to give WP a chance.

Very little quality apps, terrible battery life. The only thing I miss is the WP keyboard :)
[One (M7) General] eallan:
Sure it is guy. That's why your rebuttal was so good
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
Arguably, the Bayer filter makes it equivalent to a 1MP photo.

The filter basically means that the photo is in a Pentile layout. That means effective resolution compared to a theoretical RGB sensor is less.
[One (M7) General] rotchcrocket04:
You should probably go buy the Nokia. Thank you.
[One (M7) General] Dan37tz:
HTC One's 468ppi > Nokia's 332ppi

Therefore the Nokia's display is inferior to the HTC One's I'd say. At least on paper...:p
[One (M7) General] iElvis:
My One X had a display in that range, and I could see the difference between the two. 332 isn't bad, it's just inferior to 468.
[One (M7) General] henrybravo:
Ahh yes, you are correct - my uncharacteristically poor rebuttal was lame because it was 2 in the morning here and I was going to bed. I will get back to being myself below.

"Why do you need more than 4MP? I doubt you have a single display higher than 2-3MP"

Try cropping and zooming an image that is 4 mp versus one that is, say, 8 mp or higher, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Let's take this photo for instance. It's one I just randomly pulled off the public internet, hence the watermark.

The original:

Cropped:

If this were a 4 mp photo, since I have cropped roughly 50% of the area of the photo, it would now be a 2 mp photo. Everyone will tell you, rightly, that a 2 mp photo these days is pretty unacceptable - no one remotely interested in taking good photos would buy a phone or camera with a 2 mp sensor. You can't print the photos very big and they will just look soft. You can argue that the photographer should have just been closer to the people to begin with and framed the shot better in the first place. Well, in the world of walking around with a smartphone, when taking candid unplanned photos it is impossible to always frame the shot to the point where cropping isn't desirable.

Now I'm not saying people that are manipulating photos like this will necessarily be the type to use a 4 mp smartphone camera, but it does happen. Recently I took a picture of one of my sons at his graduation using my HTC One (my wife had the Canon DSLR camera). The picture quality was good, but there was a jubilent kid within the frame of the shot giving the "devil horns" symbol and sticking his tongue out to someone. When I cropped this kid out of the shot, I was left with basically a 2 mp photo. Had this picture been taken on 10-20 mp camera for example (a common pixel count range for middle to upper-middle quality cameras these days) the final result would have been a much more acceptable 5-10 mp. Of course, more megapixels is not always better (sensor quality is paramount), but that is an entirely different topic that's been discussed ad nauseum.
[One (M7) General] coupetastic-droid:
The problem is that most here on xda think cell phone companies are only manufacturing devices for us here on xda. Which we're only a small percentage.

Cell phone companies are manufacturing devices for the general consumer which excludes us since we have a more understanding of how things or some things work and know they can work better.

My point is that the general consumer, well most, will never crop nor will go and print out a poster size picture they took with their mobile device. They are just going to snap a shot, share it on a social site or to a friend or family.

By the way, didn't mean to thank you on your other post. Freebie
[One (M7) General] phylosoph:
Use HDR, that guy probably used night mode for HTC One. Nokia also uses some kind of software editing after it takes the picture to make it brighter.

Here is a HDR Photo in extreme low light. The only light in the room is that light comes from monitor.

[One (M7) General] jollyboggles:
The lack of sharpness/crispness in HTC One images is disappointing. I've loved its low light performance but I find all images lack just that little something that would have been resolved with an 8MP shooter.
[One (M7) General] henrybravo:
Well you're free to remove the thanks, I have over 500 thanks and I don't really need it. ;) You will see a "remove thanks" button on the website for posts you've thanked.

I wasn't getting into a philosophical discussion about the general consumer vs an XDA user. I was merely responding to the query "Why would you need more than 4 MP camera when your display is only 2-3 MP", for which my answers are very valid.

edit: I see you already removed the thanks; I was mistaking someone else's thanks for yours. LOL I can't believe I just typed "thanks" so many times in one post.
[One (M7) General] coupetastic-droid:
I have no need of removing any thanx. Either way I post from the app.

Anyways, more is almost always better. I'm not deniying it. But from all the photos taken by the one that I've seen on the web and my brothers photos taken with the one, have looked impressive. Yes I know there's some that look bad, really bad in some occasions, but every device takes bad pictures from time to time.

The One's camera works perfectly fine for what it is. A mobile device camera.

This thread has degenerated into subjective fighting and also bringing in comparisons over screen, OS etc which have nothing to do with the camera, so thread closed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dankduke:
so i broke the screen on my S4 and just ordered a new one.

i wanted to know if there was a program i could use or somethign i can do to seamlessly make this transition over.

What do i need to do? What would be good next steps???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] thatpimp007:
Aren't all the programs, data, etc stored on the phone hard drive and not the screen? If you're just replacing the screen I imagine all your data would remain the same. Just my guess though. I've never taken the phone apart so I'm not sure how the replacement works but I know all the data is stored on the hard drive and not in the screen itself.

So, in the past I have tried to create bible apps for previous phones, but I continuously ran into some health problems but I have been well for quite awhile now and I decided to build a bible for the GS3. I have been working on this for about a week and a half, and happy to finally be able to release an alpha version.

****This thread will be constantly under construction until I have it organized!

But the app currently only supports the d2tmo and d2att, but will support ALL US models, but will not include international.

The app will have a ROM bible, a recovery bible, and a kernel bible, but this alpha version currently only has the ROM bible. I am slowly adding more ROMs into I have all the ROMs listed. *edit* Now includes ROM and Recovery Bibles. AT&T ROM Bible coming soon, but AT&T Recovery Bible has already been released!

I am looking for six roms to sponsor in the app, I will post a screenshot showing the benefits of being sponsored. Please message me if you are interested in me sponsoring your ROM!

But enough of my talking for now, I will post screenshots following this message, along with two virus scans and a download link!

Your app doesn't work and would probably be much better off as a website. I understand this is one of the first versions, but why are you making this Windows-only and runs-on-local-machine instead of doing the much easier option of making a website?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] biohazard:
Make sure you have .net framework 4.5 installed. And a website would honestly be simply pointless, I don't think people would.choose a starter bible website for the s3 when they could check xda just as easy. I somewhat feel the same with my app but was gonna give.it a try
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
Sorry, I re-read my post and I didn't mean to come off as harshly as I did. I appreciate what you're trying to do here, although I think it could be a lot more useful if it included a ROM installer, recovery flasher, etc.

Hi,

I am making a Foobar2000 control app by using the foo_httpcontrol add-on. I figured out how I can run certain commands, but I am completely blank on how to get information back from the server like playlists or current playing song. Does anyone have exprience with this on Android or knows how to do it on wp8?

Also: currently I am using a hidden browser for executing the commands, would it be better/possible to use webrequests or something for that?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thals1992:
I can't say I could help you with foo_httpcontrol. I haven't used it that much.

I'd recommend using the DLNA plugin instead. Using the DLNA app made either by Nokia or HTC (it was that way with wp7, not sure on wp8) would be a similar experience to playing music that's in the music+video tab. Most DLNA apps have the capability to play music from the phone to another device, play music from another device and share it to a third device, e.g. Phone Music -> foobar, foobar -> WP8 -> Bluray player.

Also the album art will display if its in the same folder as the music (the dlna plugin on foobar looks for the folder.jpg first.)
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tweekzor:
Thank you for your answer, but I don't think that is what I am looking for. My desktop has a music collection that is far greater then the 32gb of my device, and the sound quality is a lot better as well. So I don't want to be streaming from or to my device. Also since my library has about 50.000+ songs I'd prefer to use my well known and set-up music player over searching through my windows folders.

I have seen a couple of android apps that control Foobar2000 by using the plugin I use as well, and they are able to get the song info etc. So it is possible, I just can't figure out how.

(I did download the Nokia Play To app, because streaming like that is also useful at other times ;))
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thals1992:
Well most of my foobar collection are chiptunes, (vgm/sid/gbs) modules (mod, xm, it) and album in a single flac with cue files (flac doesn't always play, but mostly works) so I need it to stream WAV 48khz (its the highest I've tried) over wireless N using that dlna plugin. I have seen some foobar apps thats in the marketplace, but nothing that I'd seen work. Also somthing else that works, is the foo_touchremote plugin. It uses the boujour service (also in Apple's iTunes, but used in other things as well) and works simply with entering a pairing code.

If you still would like to use foo_httpcontrol, I'd ask over at http://www.hydrogenaudio.org.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tweekzor:
That touchremote plugin sounds like it could be what I need, I will look into that when I have a bit more time. Thank you for the answers.:good:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wythyntime:
I did some basic search and couldn't find it.

I'm actually okay with the app drawer's icon, I just don't want it on the bottom right corner. I want it in the middle. I've used Nova so that is my last resort but I actually want to use TW and try out couple of things on it.

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] YELLOW_STL_MACH:
I prefer my app drawer in the middle as well. I use GoLauncher with a GS4 Touchwiz theme.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
I haven't used TW in months and never used the stock launcher so pardon any ignorance, but can't you just long press and drag to rearrange things in the dock like the stock AOSP launcher? If not, and you really don't want to use a different launcher, you'll have to decompile the apk and poke around.

Just curious, why do you prefer the stock TW launcher over something like Nova, which can be set up to look exactly like it if you want?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gunthermic:
I for one do theming and now that the dev has gone out of his way to try and prevent themers from doing things... his app and he can do anythign he wants.. But I now switched to using stock launcher.. an no it can be dragged. the other 4 can but not app icon.. its weird...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] davidwilson83:
I have been trying to do this for weeks, almost months! Previously on a Galaxy S II and now on my I9505 S4. I have decompiled and search throughout xml files and smali files and I can't find it anywhere. I suspect that it has something to do with the animation. Because when you delete all of the other apps out of the dock (Hotseat) the all apps icon is in the middle. Which is great, if you don't want any other apps in the dock. But then as soon as you go to add another icon in there, it creates almost like a little buffer in between the apps icon and the icon you have just put in the drawer.

So I think it has something to do with animation which needs to be disabled and I don't think there is any way to do it in any of the res folders (layout, values, etc) so I'm fairly certain it needs to be done in smali files, but smali to me is like trying to read Swahili so I can't really work out how to do it.

If I find out how to center the apps icon then I will post it here, but for now it's proving to be fruitless. :(

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blastthenoise:
I understand that you're making a correct statement, but you are oblivious to the fact that he wants this for the TW launcher. If he wanted to switch to nova he would have. Hell, all AOSP based launchers allow this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theresin:
Same. If you could dig through the smali files while the launcher was active (IE if you could dig through the smali files while the launcher was running on your device) you might be able to find it by comparing an active launcher with just the app menu button as opposed to one with all 5 spots filled ... however, I'm not sure that's possible. Could it be emulated/VM'd on a PC?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
