I'm planning on getting this phone as well on boost mobile. I know the phone now comes with Ice Cream Sandwich but after I root it, will I be able to install Jellybean on it? That's my preferred OS.

NEVERMIND:....DUH!!!! I forgot JB is after ICS. My bad! Sheeeesh! Been a while since I've been back on Android!
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
First you should think about, if you want "only" root it, or if you also wanna S-Off.

You can get root after all updates without problems by unlocking bootloader and flashing recovery + your preferred root app. So if thats enough for you, do all the updates and then go to htcdev.com.

But i don't know, if S-Off will work with latest update. So if you want that too, do it while you are on ICS (1.11.653.1) or JB (2.06.653.5).

By the way, latest update has number 2.06.653.6.

I picked up an S4, so I'm wanting to convert my s2 to a dedicated media server to stream my content already on the phone to the internet (my S4, while I'm out). I've googled, but mainly only found servers for UPnP and whatnot. Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HTCMDA:
if it's just mp3's upload them to google music. and use that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mrTr0ut:
oh okay, cool. Thanks.

I have a 50GB box account that I keep my music on. I use CloudAround Music player from the market. Works great! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] koudies:
I have a 50GB box account as well and was thinking about uploading my music onto there. Have u had any problems considering its copyrighted material?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tribalartgod:
Doesn't matter. It's for personal use, and I own most all the music I have uploaded anyways. Anything cloud based will always be "at your own risk." Personally, I take that risk. But, I can't speak for or encourage anyone else to do the same. that choice is 100% your own.

The player itself has worked flawlessly so far (about a month)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bamdadkhan:
greetings,

i did a lot of googling around, but only found more and more confusion. i understand that the xperia t has a microusb port that can be used for charging, connect usb devices with an otg cable (tested), and connect an external monitor/tv with an mhl adapter (haven't tested yet).

i've also come across a dock (sony calls it the 'tv dock') which is supposed to charge provide charging *and* allow a monitor to be connected - some say it has a usb port for connecting accessories, but according to the pictures and videos i've seen, it's clearly only meant for charging.

so.. since most people here are a lot more knowledgeable than me, my question is:

is there any accessory/cable/hack that allows me to connect an external monitor, a keyboard, *and* charge the phone at the same time?

thanks,

bamdad

p.s. this is my first post, so hi xda folks.. ^^
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Monipeev:
On Xperia Arc S, this is possible, because he have Hdmi port and micro USB port for charge.

Here in Xperia T, we have only one port, micro USB. I use mhl to Hdmi cable with USB cable to charge and make possible to see picture on TV for example, and I use Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad like mouse.

For me, this is all that I want, to make this feature to work. :)

Edit: Another possibility is to use screen mirroring function from phone with HDMI mirroring dongle to TV. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bamdadkhan:
meh, too bad. i'm not really a fan of bt keyboards, because most of them run on batteries. i read somewhere that in *some* phones it's possible to get both usb and hdmi on the same connector (iirc it has something to do with it having more pins).

what do you mean by that 'mirroring function'?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Monipeev:
Yes, the USB and Hdmi are posible on one cable. I have this one:

http://m.ebay.com/itm/281051732741

Edit: for mirroring like this for example :

HDMI CHROMECAST Dlna stream.

http://m.aliexpress.com/item/897156534.html?tracelog=storedetail2mobilesitedetail

This is for free micro USB on the phone to charge it and plug your keyboard and mouse, with USB-Otg cable to the phone with USB hub or dock Dk10 for examples.

FAQ

====

* My wallpaper was reset to default after a reboot/reset of the device. What went wrong?

Not all devices support to move the app to the sdcard. If after reboot your device the wallpaper is reset to the default then you need to move the app to the internal sdcard. Just go to Settings -> Apps -> Downloaded tab -> PhotoPhase and click "Move to phone".

* The font of the settings screen looks like distorted.

The cached font used by the settings screen is corrupted. Goto to Settings -> Apps -> Downloaded tab -> PhotoPhase, force stop and clear cache. Then reselect the app as your wallpaper.

* There are some bug reports on e1901_v77_jbla668_fwvga devices, in which the app causes OpenGL errors, causing continuous force closes.

Do you want the app to be translated to your language? Send a new patch with your translation to the github repo or just contact me by email and I'll send you a template to fill for your language.

Version 1.0.2

Version 1.0.2 is out. It's a maintenance release that fix a major bug in 4.0.3 devices (not running in a UI thread prevents to start the app). In addition the app now can to be moved to the external sdcard (not all the devices support this feature. If your wallpaper is reset to default after a device reboot, then your device don't support it and the app need to be installed in the internal sdcard).
[Android Apps and Games] jruesga:
Working in social connectors. Just need some weeks :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] Twmade:
Just downloaded, and the app is beautifully made.

Some problems though:

Im in the album section and it will show my album for 5 seconds then disappear and the page is blank, so I can't choose anything. Please look into this as I can't choose any media! Phone is INTL Note 3

Questions:

1) Does the widget stay awake during screen off (causing wakelocks and draining batter)

2) How does it affect your current battery usage right now?
[Android Apps and Games] jruesga:
[MENTION=4707456]Twmade[/MENTION], thanks for your report. I'm not able to reproduce the your problem in any of my devices. I tested on i9100, i9300, n4, n7 and tf700t without problems. From other comments I saw about note 3 there should be some sort of problem with my app, but i don't found the cause. How many albums do you have? And how many pictures per album? I tested with more than 10 and with more than 400 pictures in some of them. Are you be able to see the animation before the album dissapeared? Did you touch the screen while the app is drawing the items? Rotate the screen helps you?

About your concerns:

1) No. The app only uses battery when is making a transition. When the wallpaper is not visible the app enters in sleep mode.

2) As the app is in sleep mode, there is no battery drains or wake locks.
[Android Apps and Games] Twmade:
I have about 4GB worth of photos, all high res which I use as wallpapers. Yes I can see the animations before the album disappears. I have just tried all the methods that you have mentioned and none of them works. Touching/non touching the screen while the app is drawing items makes the same result.
[Android Apps and Games] jruesga:

Question

Hello,

great app, but i cant use it on my Galaxy S2. I can choose the Wallpaper and all Settings but wenn i reboot my Phone i see a message "no images". I have the app on my phone and not on the sd-card. I use the newest cm 11.

Can u help??
[Android Apps and Games] jruesga:
When you choose the wallpaper you can see the images (is only after reboot) or you never saw any image with this wall paper? If you go to settings, media, albums,... is there any image there? Are your images in an extsdcard?

If you are using CM11 M8 (not nightlies), please fill a bug in jira.cyanogenmod.org and add a logcat to it.
[Android Apps and Games] garfield_22:
Yes, when i choose the wallpaper i can see the images. The Images are obn the Phone and on the sd-card. When i go to settings, media, albums,... i can see the image. Its all OK but wenn i reeboot, no images can be displayed.

Any ideas ?

[Android Apps and Games] MobilePerson:
very nice app. I checked aspect ratio but some photos doesn't look so well. Do I only have this problem ?
[Android Apps and Games] jruesga:
In what way, it doesn't look well? It just crop the image to fit the largest size, instead of stretching it. What dimensions have your images?
[Android Apps and Games] MobilePerson:
apart from "one photo" method, I have problem in all other ways , but only in some photos. Photos are from my phone's camera (8 MP, 3264 x 2448 pixels)
[Android Apps and Games] jruesga:
[MENTION=5788867]MobilePerson[/MENTION], there is no easy solution for that. The best way is the current way (take the largest side and crop and center the other side). Try frames matching the aspect ratio of your fotos (probably the better is two frames one above the other. Those will be near of the aspect of that photos). Sorry, but don't have a better solution.

blurring/dimming effect + access question

Hi,

Thanks for PhotoPhase (and your time on it!), it looks really good.

What I'm missing from another excellent wallpaper, Muzeil, is this (description taken from Muzei): "It also recedes into the background, blurring and dimming artwork to keep your icons and widgets in the spotlight. " => Could we have the same in PhotoPhase, with the level of blurring/dimming being a setting?

Another question, why does the application need to the permission to retrieve running applications (GET_TASKS) ? I've never programmed wallpaper, but I see this as useless (and potentially scary...). Could I be wrong? Else, could you remove it from the app?

Thanks again for the project and your effort on it,

Kriss
[Android Apps and Games] jruesga:
[MENTION=1939002]KrissSo[/MENTION], you can get the same effect in PhotoPhase, except for the blurring level. In fact, I have configured PhotoPhase in my current device to get this effect (attached an screenshot).

Image: https://cloud.ruesga.com/f/1fbb7abf15/

To get the same effect, goto PhotoPhase settings and set:

* General -> Wallpaper dim = 60%

* General -> Effects -> Choose only Blur

About GET_TASKS permission is requiered to detect the wallpaper picker dialog when touch action is enabled. The only event received by the wallpaper is a tap event, not click or long press events, so PhotoPhase wait some milliseconds prior to dispatch the touch action selected by the user. This prevents to dispatch just simple clicks on shortcuts for simple tap and for long press taps, PhotoPhase checks if the wallpaper picker dialog is present (in that case just doesn't handle the touch action). Hope this explain your question about this permission. I cannot remove it, because I need to be consistent with the system to avoid double actions (show wallpaper picker dialog and open the gallery for the touched frame). This permission is not used to any other thing.

PhotoPhase is opensource so you or any other can check the code (https://github.com/jruesga/PhotoPha...apers/photophase/PhotoPhaseRenderer.java#L316).
[Android Apps and Games] KrissSo:
Thanks a lot for the detailed and kind answer.

There is a translation bug that explain why I didn't find the dim: 'dim' has been translated in French into 'dimensions' (search for 'dimensions du fond d'écran' in your app). It should rather be 'Transparence du fond d'écran'. For the blur effect, I find it a little too strong (that's very personnal...); what would be terrible is to be able to adjust the blur strength...

For the access right, I understand - being a dev myself, that makes sens (and I'll have a look to your github's code as much to check as for the pleasure to see it and to learn things).

Regards

Kriss
[Android Apps and Games] jruesga:
The translation comes from CyanogenMod translation team. I'll pass this bug to the french team. Thx for the translation advise.

2 other suggestions

Hi Jorge,

2 small suggestions on how to improve your app:

- for the aspect ratio of the images (your ui_fix_aspect_ratio setting), I would offer 3 choices rather: fit to box and crop (what you currently offer), and also show entire picture (i.e. photo centered in its target box, and potential vertical or horizontal black areas to fill the box if the pic ratio is not the same as its target box). This 3rd option should be quite easy to implement.

- the possibility to display the image name (double tap on the image?). This is more a gadget, but when you don't know what is the image you're looking at, that could be nice.

Just my 2 cents. Hope you may find the time to do his one day!

Kriss
[Android Apps and Games] Black_Prince:
Thanks for keeping this beautiful app free. I have just one request if possible for you to include in. While after applying lwp some pics go out of resolution. Is there any way to auto correct resolution for pics displayed in lwp. Sometimes it looks very out of pixel.

Anyways best app i ever seen. Very good concept.

Best regards.
[Android Apps and Games] jruesga:
Sorry, for the delay. Didn't work the aspect ratio setting in general setting for you? If the pic is very small for the target frame, then the image will be pixelated.

FR: Dominant colour-based image selection

I have configured my desktop to change pictures upon touch (great feature). More often than not I find myself selecting images of (more or less) the same dominant colour and was wondering if this would make a great feature request. Not sure how one would go about selecting said dominant colour - will leave that up to you.

BTW, fantastic app.

Small photo frame in the corner distort and not crop properly

Love the app but found one problem with the photo frame on my LG G3.

When I choose "try to fix the picture's aspect ratio by cropping it to fit the destination frame" it turns out the small frames (as in template 1 far right corner) or long frames (as in template 4) which touch the left and right side of the phone are not crop well and distorted.

Can you please help for that? Thanks.

To take good pictures, you must restart the phone.

Besides sometimes only the application is closed

Aspect Ratio broken with ver 2.0.0?

Updated to ver 2.0.0, the Aspect Ratio option doesn´t seem to make a difference. Using Portrait Layout # 19 (three images), image files that are 1920x1080 are shown slightly stretched vertically. Other resolutions also are shown stretched.

Using Galaxy S5 ZTO with stock 5.0 ROM (rooted).

Had no problem before the update.

Restored the backup of ver 1.0.12 I made with Titanium Backup, and aspect ratio is back to normal.

Still my favorite wallpaper.

Also, a feature request: how about being able to add/exclude folders and sub-folders from the image list.

For example, being able to define that all images on \FirstFolder and sub-folders will be included, and all images on \SecondFolder and sub-folders will not be included.

This way one could add images to Photophase simply by adding sub-folders to the \Firstfolder folder, and make sure that images added to other folders are not shown.

In both the old version and the new, all folders are selected by default, and it´s necessary to exclude manually the folders you don´t want. This creates a bit of a problem if you have many folders with images you don´t want to add...
[Android Apps and Games] hotwired34:
I can confirm that I'm having the same issues with the aspect ratio. In the old build, any photos that needed to be cropped would get all distorted and... Um...squiggly I guess it would be.

Now, they stretch or pinch to make the frame size, regardless of whether the aspect ratio toggle is on or off.
[Android Apps and Games] jruesga:
[MENTION=5279538]Tylor@soyokaze[/MENTION], [MENTION=585584]hotwired34[/MENTION] yep, i have various reports about this issue. I'm working in a fix and release it in the next days. Thanks for reporting.

[MENTION=5279538]Tylor@soyokaze[/MENTION] about your feature request, i think is more confusing (currently every folder with photos is an album). With the current functionality you can check or exclude whole albums, or select partial photos of an album. Yes, by default all albums are selected, but you have an option by invert the selection, so you can easy switch from all albums selected to none albums selected and then select the ones you want to select.
[Android Apps and Games] Tylor@soyokaze:
Well, for me at least it´s a little time consuming because I have several (10-20)folders to include and several sub folders to exclude (50+).

But it´s ok, maybe it´s not a issue for other users. Thanks.
