Ok don't know what happened here. My post didn't come up.

Ok is partly a hardware issue with the joystick etc, it's also partly with icon and font size Etc.

Problem isn't with android per say. I say it's hardware. Modifying a mouse.

I would take apart a usb mouse (trackball or joystick) and separate the button actuation mechanism and route that to a pad for his lap to use for the button and mount the movement where he wants for the mouse.

Does that make sense? Or do I need to elaborate my explanation?

My next issues will be with keyboards i think. Most android keyboards that I've come across are more designed for people with fairly good eyesight and dextrous thumbs, can anyone suggest a large lettered keyboard?

I'm sure I'm going to come across a few more issues as i go :banghead:

The hubs look cool and I'm sure he'll take a fancy to them

[Hardware Hacking General] jugg1es:
Update : it looks like it's going to be a modded joystick. My client used to use a trackball but no longer has the dexterity to manage one successfully. The same can be said of the external keyboard.

We looked at 'big launcher' which looks nice and had icons about the right size but seems to be geared more towards phone use than tablet use so I'm considering using uccw for a larger icon sets on his home screens, these would be an advantage as he would be able to touch the hotspots with his knuckle as well as using his button on bad days.

At some point of time, you will have to change the dpi, and go opposite the usual direction. I.e. Change dpi to more higher values and force phone landscape mode.
[Hardware Hacking General] jugg1es:
[MENTION=4344846]a.cid[/MENTION] in trying to avoid root if i can, dpi changes have crossed my mind. [MENTION=2484146]mark manning[/MENTION] finding a controller that is a suitable size is tricky atm, he does like the idea of actually being able to touch the icons though. Going to request a uccw skin in the skins thread as soon as we've worked out which apps be will use lots. It's going to be a little slow, communication can take a while as he has to type out his responses, also getting to find the time to work with him when I'm at work is tricky, he's a busy busy lad what with horse riding, boccia, youth club etc:D

She really doesn't react at all with a picture on a tablet or phone. The best success the we have found is asking her yes and no questions using eye gaze to the right (yes) and left (no) for questions. Her motion is so erratic most eye gaze computers or assive technology doesn't really work for her.

[Hardware Hacking General] jugg1es:
Ok, it's been a while so time for a little update.

I've not been able to work on this as much as I would have liked lately due to various reasons.

After looking at the tablet I found out that it has no USB, my next move on this looks to be using sixaxis and a modified PS controller.

In the meantime I found a nifty little app that gives you 2*2 icons that are resizeable for his home screens. This makes it a little easier for him to use the touchpad but it's still an issue with the apps having small control buttons.

I've also installed utter! And we are currently working through some preset commands he can use from his dynavox, this will at least give him the ability to make Skype calls with little or no help and also enable him to call up any track he wishes to listen to. Im fairly new to utter! Myself so it's going slow, I'm still reluctant to approach the issue of root in order to use things like tasker and change dpi settings though.

Well that's all for now. :D

When you do get this finished I think this story could end up making a pretty cool portal article
[Hardware Hacking General] MissionImprobable:
This is making me think one addition that would be great for Android is something people use everything on PCs: quickly scalable text, etc. I'm sure that would take some work, especially on the icon side of things, but it would be nice if we could code for an easy to use means to scale everything up or down quickly with regards to the entire UI and not just small, large, and huge text. It is great that we can setup large hotspot and large custom icons, but a quick-scaling UI would be awesome.

Disable voice+ ?

I asked about a similar issue (couldn't send SMS messages) with CM10.2 in a thread earlier today and someone pointed out to me that I needed to disable/freeze the Voice+ app that has been included in recent ROMs if I was in a country where Google Voice didn't work like the UK. After doing this, it was possible to send SMS messages.

In the US it may be necessary to edit its settings to get texts going via the usual SMS route.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] KennyK:
Question pertains to Qtec 9090 (Siemens SX66).

I have used the "unlock" tool which worked very well. However, if I run the unlock tool again, the tool responds with the same default window for installing. I would think that once the phone is unlocked, a message would pop up saying "phone already unlocked". My main question is: once the phone is unlocked, upon soft reset, are the "unlock" states removed or is the phone still unlocked?

Not related to the above question, does anyone know how to create a "group" for sending text messages. With microsoft outlook, groups can be created, but these groups do not allow for text messaging. Any ideas? I would like to be able to send 1 text message to a group of phone numbers.

So here is the thing!

Suddenly one day my Samsung Galaxy S3 decided to f$#k with my mind!

On facebook , when they post a youtube link and i tap on it says "Complete action using... " and it gives me the option of internet and youtube !

NOW youtube is gone and it is not an option anymore ! and i noticed that it is not with the youtube links , it is with play store too.. i dont have the option play store anymore!

But before you start to tell me to clear the cache . clear defaults and stuff , you should know that i already done that. i even unistalled youtube updates to see if this will fix it!

So please , anyone?!? Some thoughts?!!!??!??!?!

Thanks!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
You will be able to buy an unlock code to network unlock it.

However, as it is a carrier branded handset, the bootloader will be permanently locked, which means you will be unable to flash CM/PAC/AOSP based roms. I don't know if that's important to you or not, but you should be aware of that. :)

Just a word of caution. I tried to have mine unlocked from 3 and they point blank refused. High street shops won't touch it either. I had to do some dodgy dealings to get mine unlocked.

But yes it will be bootloader locked whatever you do.

Dodgy dealings? There are many unlocking services online (on eBay especially) that will send an unlock code for a fee. Nothing dodgy about that.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raghava_teja:
hi guys,

I partitioned sd card ext with 1GB with FAT32 using mini partion tool

when boot ON the Phone & using with LINK2SD Main sd card & ext sd card showing the same size of 1GB ....

is the problem with ROM ??

I tried with another sd card but the issue is same

i'm using stock rom & 16 GB Sandisk C10 sd card

Pls help me......
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Goodvibes:
Link2SD

The XPERIA X10i running GB 2.3 is a bit problematic with partitions.

The OS only mounts the first partition it finds and that's normally the second partition. Doh!!

The following patch may be of some help to you

SE2.3.3-link2sd-patch.zip

It is assumed you have formatted both partitions as primary.

Everybody should use Link2SD if they have an XPERIA X10, just because most quality class6/class10 cards have better read/write speed than internal flash and with a 1-2GB sdext2 partition more space too.

Considerations

I'd format the second partition as ext3 and 2GB if Link2SD is to be used, especially if a gamer.

I would only use a class6/class10 'quality' 32GB microSD card or greater.

Copy the contents of the /data/sdext2 partition to a NAS/external server

(1) I'd format the partition to be used with Link2SD as ext3 ( I've found on my builds I can't use ext4, but would, if I could ), just because it'll give better performance. In a gaming environment 1GB can be used up pretty quickly if libraries and data are linked too.

(2) The cost of quality class6/class10 microSD cards has really dropped in price now that extreme and extreme pro cards (50MB+ write) are all the rage. It's just a pain having to rebuild a working Link2SD environment onto a larger card at a later date, when a lesser card, no longer meets needs.

But given I'm using a 64GB card, I would say that. :eek:

(3) If you copy the contents of the second partition to a linux system /folder it makes a great recovery, as you only have to restore the Link2SD second partition and you get all your apps back, data and all. I copy my /data/sdext2 partition onto my NAS every now and then and it has saved my bacon a few times when microSD/SD cards have gone belly up.
