Not sure if I had to post this here or on the Android Apps forum.

I just took out my old phone, an HTC Sensation with Cyanogenmod 9 on it. Now when I start up Snapchat, the camera is turned to landscape and stretched to fill the screen.

I've tried rebooting, reinstalling and recalibrating, but nothing seems to work.

What do I do?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] soralz:
Hi, currently I found out there is something weird with my Grand's 3.5mm jack. It looks like it is bended (not straight). Here are some example:

Screen facing up (headset connector bended upwards)

Screen facing down (headset connector bended downwards)

As you can see the 3.5mm connector is bended, not straight. I have already tried with other headset and still the same. (But the headset is working perfectly)

Is it normal or just my phone only? :confused:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Zephyr!:
Lol it may be possible that the wire has been bend at that point. As water pipe gets bended when left at same position for few days.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky_Saggi:
I have a Nexus 4 which is bootloader unlocked and rooted. The USB port is partially faulty - it charges only at USB speed and is not detected as a device on my laptop. I've tried multiple cables, wall sockets and computers.

I do however have TWRP already installed.

Considering that fastboot from the PC is not an option (becase of the USB issue), can I run the fastboot commands inside the Terminal Command section of TWRP to flash a factory image of Android 4.3 ?

I'm asking because I've only seen guides to install recoveries, not ROMs via Terminal Command on phone.

I just hope this is the right place to post this, as I do not intend to misuse this forum, it has been very helpful to me over the past few years and I love seeing what yall come out with. That being said here is what I am proposing.

I am looking for some people who know how to build apps for android. As well apps for windows. ( pick whatever programing language you like we just need it to work) I can not pay anyone, but if a small team of people will join me and help get my ideas built as a team I believe we will become successful in the first prototype of what will be the future of cell phones.

I don't get to check the forum often so please reach me via email semsey.donaldr@gmail.com

thank you all for taking the time to read this.
[Java for Android App Development] TheUnkn0wn:
When you say "apps for windows" are you suggesting applications for Windows Phone OS or Windows OS (as in the OS that runs on PCs)?

People will find it hard to work without getting paid and they definitely don't want to work on an idea without getting paid that wont take off so I suggest you give some hints about what your idea is to let people make a better decision?
[Java for Android App Development] dsemsey:
camp sheckbo

Thanks for the response, and I should have clarified that. Sorry. I was referring to Windows os for pc. I can completely understand people not wanting to work for free as what I am asking I imagine will be quite some work and most likely quite a bit of testing. I have to admit I am apprehensive about just laying any part of my idea out there but for the sake of giving everyone a vague idea of what I have in mind ( please forgive grammar and spelling at this point) is google glass but trust me when I say far better then google. and for now we aren't even building the "phone part" the app on both the phone and its counterpart on the pc should be generic in the sense that any android phone & windows pc user can use the prototype once it is done. Then we shop it around with the concept for the new phone. anyone willing to know more please just shoot me an email. I realize yall don't know what it is yet but I am convinced if made this product would make those involved if not as big as google then pretty close (maybe not in terms of there money but in terms on the name)

Brand is everything.

A developer, looking for collaboraion

Hi Guys,

I am a long time developer for Android, iOS, BB etc with bunch of apps on the app stores, some dead on arrival, some successful, nothing like the next Bill Gates tho :). Apps development is side job for me "for now", I am sure you know the feeling.

I guess what I am looking for here is somewhat the opposite to most of the posts here, where folks with amazing ideas looking for developers to "just make it happen". I have bunch of ideas, as well! (too many to count :) some for apps and some for other areas - chemistry, physics etc). I am looking for *developers* to work and collaborate, basically to brain storm and run through their ideas and my ideas, take our time to proper research and figure out business model, patents etc, maybe throw few baits in apps stores and see where it's going.

My thinking is that if bunch of us developers get together we stand a chance, I find it close to impossible to do it alone..

Of course we can sign all NDAs required etc to make everyone happy. I hope I did not violate any written or conceptual guidelines here.. please feel free to contact me, maildover@gmail.com

Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
I know of three ways to disable/freeze unwanted apps:

Using the command pm disable PACKAGE_OR_COMPONENT

Titanium Backup Pro

Disable the app through the built-in Application Manager (does not work for all apps)

Here's some details I could find about pm disable: http://www.kpbird.com/2013/05/android-shell-command-pm-package-manager.html

But my question to the community: When an app is disabled/frozen by any of these methods, what keeps track of these? Where is this data stored?

If nobody can answer my question above, then I have a different question: Are there any apps/commands that would allow you to view/log filesystem changes on-the-fly? (goal with this: start this "watcher" app, then disable an app using pm, and figure out what changed).

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
I found it! After quite some time grepping around, I found that the list of enabled/disabled apps is located here:

/data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml

Now, all I need to do is find a way to update this file in bash, without relying on any external programs. I plan to make a flashable zip to run a simple script that searches for each of the following three lines:

<pkg name="com.wssyncmldm" enabled="1" />
<pkg name="com.LocalFota" enabled="1" />
<pkg name="com.sec.android.fwupgrade" enabled="1" />

And updates each to a "2".

If any of the three lines are not found, the script should add them near the end of the file, on new lines immediately before this one:

<preferred-activities />

One more thing: it's possible that a person might have multiple user accounts on their phone (seems rare...), there could be other package-restrictions.xml files in other directories (maybe a /data/system/users/1/ or example). It would be ideal if the script could search for other user accounts and make the same modifications.

Any scripting-heroes willing to make this up for me?? :D

BTW: the point/purpose of this is to disable the OTA updates from a flashable zip, in a custom recovery, without requiring a rooted system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jetlitheone:
I could probably make a flashable zip that replaces package-restrictions.xml with a modified version that disables OTA

do you have that file?

the bash script looking for and replacing lines is not possible AFAIK via recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
Well, I've done this sort of thing in MS-DOS batch, using For loops (reading the file, line-by-line and processing it). I'll have to look into the bash equivalent.

Also, simply replacing the file is far too dangerous. If any entries in that file mismatch what's installed on the system, the device will not boot properly (TouchWiz launcher will not load, for one). Every time you enable/disable an app, the entire file shifts around and changes. It's a nightmare. But dealing with it line-by-line would be feasible...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jetlitheone:
Yeah I know what you mean I don't know it might be possible. Only thing I know of is applications that run bash scripts on boot up. But not of running one via a flashable zip in recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
Based on some of the flashable zips out there, I think it's possible to use busybox to execute a bash script. I came up with a little bit of crappy psuedocode for what needs to happen:

set foundFlag = 0
if (file exists: /system/app/<app>.apk) do:
for (each line of package-restrictions.xml) do:
if ( line = <pkg name="com.wssyncmldm" enabled="1" /> ) do:
echo <pkg name="com.wssyncmldm" enabled="2" /> into newfile
set foundFlag = 1
else do:
echo line into newfile
end if
end for
if (foundFlag != 1) do:
for (each line of package-restrictions.xml) do:
if ( line = <preferred-activities /> ) do:
echo <pkg name="com.wssyncmldm" enabled="2" /> into newfile
echo <preferred-activities /> into newfile
else do:
echo line into newfile
end if
end for
end if
move newfile -> package-restrictions.xml
end if

The above would need to be repeated 3 times for the 3 apk's that need to be disabled.

If you go to camera settings and choose video, does the capture format not drop down and allow you to choose "Motion-JPEG AVI"?

(2) MX Player

(3) Crome Beta

(4) Franco kernel

I was on the official stock 4.3 image, non rooted. Watching recieved snapchat videos would cause the phone to reboot every now and then.
