I always apply my (or others') screen protectors with some pieces of Magic Tape stuck ready for use on my desk.

Here are my steps:

1) clean the screen really well (having a waterproof device helps since you can really clean it in water)

2) put the screen protector on, focusing on putting it on the right way, start from the edges (bottom, top, right, left, whichever fits you) and get the sensors in the right holes

3) once fitted, peel off the top layer and push any bubble that may have sneaked under, all those which aren't evidently dust particles ones

4) IF you have dust particles bubbles, put a piece of magic tape on the nearest corner

5) pull up the corner and, with another piece of magic tape, go under the screen protector and peel the dust off of it.

6) keep at it until you have zero dust particles

Mind that the magic tape is the only one suited for this job, as it doesn't leave any glue on anything when peeled off. ;)

P. S. If you have no idea of what is Magic Tape, here it is:

Hi all,

Today I found something really weird on my Android powered phone (Galaxy Note + CM 10.1) - on my external sd card is hidden folder ".faces" in which i found a lot of (really, A LOT OF, approximately 4 thousands) files with no extensions (I mean, only simple file names - for example "346"). When I tried to open it, I figured out that these file was an image, more precisely a part of my private photos taken with my phone. Really, it's very strange for me - why I have folder with ~4k photos of faces cut out from my PRIVATE photo albums? For what? I mean, it's just sick... Why android (Google...) does something like this?

Any answers on this?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wakamatsu:
Certain apps will keep data on the SD card in cases where a kit of room is needed. The period in front denotes a hidden folder. In my case, I have an ".aptoide" and a ".nogapps" folder for those respective apps. If I had to guess, ".face" folder is keeping data from your camera, which may be set up to use facial detection to focus. Try turning off facial detection, delete that folder and take a few photos with people in them. See if the faces show in that folder again.

Hi all!

I just bought an iPaq BT GPS system (seems like a rebrand of what GLobalSat offers). I have successfully paired the device, but when I do a services check, the blue angel cries that it cannot find any usable services. Is there something I can install on my BA to be able to use this GPS device? IT seems like they are trying to talk to one another, but just don't understand each other.

Thanks! :D
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] AdmiralAK:
I fixed it...how? I dont know...weird :) but it works :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] AdmiralAK:
I paired, I used tom tom, it got a GPS fix, I used it twice :p

LOL OK - back with some problems :p

First: the GPS unit will NOT get a GPS fix...

Then I could not connect to the device, so I deleted the pairing, and decided to re-pair them.

Then I saw the GPS BT device, but the services were not usable!

Now I try to paid the devices, and I cannot even see the GPS unit

arghhhhhh :evil:
[Omni Q&A] championswimmer:
I read [MENTION=591147]Entropy512[/MENTION] write somewhere "we are more in need of developers than of testers at the moment"

To that effect I want to make an appeal to [MENTION=4683552]maxwen[/MENTION] [MENTION=2162789]XpLoDWilD[/MENTION] [MENTION=591147]Entropy512[/MENTION] [MENTION=2178960]pulser_g2[/MENTION] and all other people who started the initiative to properly document out a few things

1. If a device maintainer wants to get his device added to omni ROM what should the steps be ?

2. To set up a omni ROM - compliant device tree what are the prerequisites. As in omniROM trees have been seen to be using a format of aosp.mk+custom.mk device makefiles where aosp.mk makes it AOSP-compliant and custom.mk is the omni additions. How custom.mk is to be made (a template maybe ?) should be be documented. In fact I would go out to say a device/custom/sample tree should be made as an example

3. Are there any guidelines as to how much the hardware side codes can be hacked with to make the devices supported ? (Many groups of developers have forks of hardware/qcom/* repos that are pretty liberally spread with #ifdef's and makes them break CTS/CDD in a huge way). How much will these hacks be supported ?

4. Obvious point, what are the fields in which you need help most badly as of now. That is to say ril/telephony experts are highly needed right now or are features the topmost priority or is the highest concern to make the hardware repos tip-top so that devices are completely stable

Also publishing some guides on how to get sources and build the ROM would be good too, but since you are looking for "Developers" right now, it can be assumed that they will figure that much out on their own at least :P
[Omni Q&A] pulser_g2:
This documentation will be done.

Actually one of the key goals of omni is to properly document things.

Bear in mind exactly how early this is in the process - it was only yesterday we even made the links available for github...

Documentation will be a large part of going forward and it has been ongoing for a while. Currently that's the biggest task actually, much moreso than the actual development.

Developers don't only write code, they also write docs :)

To that effect, http://docs.omnirom.org is going to be the home :)
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
Among other things I want to do is a "patches for a given feature" document so it's easier to find out how a given feature (such as status bar brightness) was implemented.

I really want to do it before I have too many patches to put in there, but I also have tons of stuff to fix!
[Omni Q&A] Adam77Root:
What do you think about this idea? These common kernel patches could also fit into that document.
[Omni Q&A] championswimmer:
if I can be of any help let me know,

I would love to see this project start off right from the beginning with proper documentation about EVERYTHING

also +100 to [MENTION=591147]Entropy512[/MENTION] 's idea. documenting each feature and how it has been added is really important

I strongly urge that submissions via gerrit should be enforced to have a well written description in the commit message too. (it is so much easier now with gerrit 2.7+ we can do it right inside our browser after the patch has been uploaded too)
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
Yup. I've always tried to have a detailed commit message in anything I create, but I think we may need to start enforcing it so everyone does it.
[Omni Q&A] orangekid:
Is there any kind of current features / bugs / patches list on the official build? Or even just a changelog?
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
There are no official builds yet. Too early for that.

so much work to do. :(
[Omni Q&A] orangekid:
Oh, I was under the impression there was a compiled "official" version for the N4, N7, etc...

No worries, in due time I'm sure. Be looking forward to the Nexus 5 build..
[Omni Q&A] maxwen:
give us the device first :)
[Omni Q&A] Primokorn:
I follow Omni for the Nexus 5. Nightlies have started since Monday so I'd like to know if there's a general Omni changelog now or a specific one for each device.

I'm a developer without much ROM/Android development. I'd love to give a hand wherever possible, but like [MENTION=4308696]championswimmer[/MENTION] said, it's kind of overwhelming to jump in and help.

I just two apps called ANT Radio Service and ANT+ Plugins. I did not installed them. How can they are on my phone? And why are these are system apps?

Can I delete them, and if I can, how do I make it?

I use 4.3 MI8 Android Sytem on my Galaxy S4
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneCanuck:
Copying my post from somewhere else:

Sony and Samsung bundle these services on all of their latest devices.

To my understanding these services are just the equivalent of the Bluetooth stack which allows apps to use Bluetooth on your phone, but for ANT+. Instead of being built deeper down at the system level (where you wouldn't find it in your apps list), it's been distributed on the Play Store to make bug fixes and new feature updates much faster than waiting for new firmware updates. Also it allows users to add ANT support to devices which already do not have it through USB.

Google already does this with their Google Play Services which they bundle into the Google Play "app" so they can bypass carriers and not wait for phones to be firmware updated (if they ever are). In this case it's just more highly visible then if it was hidden deeper.

If you delete them, it's the equivalent of deleting Bluetooth support, but for ANT+ devices instead.

You can find more information about it on their website.

As to removing it, you need root access, but if their are no apps using them then they don't consume any discernable power anyway

Ant and Ant+ are for pairing with fitness devices like pedometers, heart rate monitors, and other such fitness monitors and tools. If you do not use these type of devices...simply disable the app...its just another way samsung is trying to appease all of their users and entice others to use their products. A very useful app if you are into staying fit.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Let'sDev:
[MENTION=2807229]Strephon Alkhalikoi[/MENTION], things stay on the internet for longer than 2 years and search engines find them.

To ?Everything's point, notkbna never provided proof, and readers from the future will now have both warnings and be able to decide on their own.

To make my own contribution to the actual topic, ANT+ really isn't much more than "pairing fitness devices". Sure it can be used in things like remote controls and geocaching, but it's just a protocol for monitoring sensor data.

Do you think the rumours about Windows Phone 8 running on HTC One are true? If so, would you want it?

I read the rumour a couple of days ago a I think it's an awesome idea. Even better would be, if someone

managed to port it and allowed dual booting.

So what is your opinion? Are you die-hard Android fans or would you give Windows a chance?

Because I personally would flash it right away, although I love Android and am not going to abandon this os

in foreseeable future, but having two great OSs on one phone certainly sounds awesome.​

So today my phone started vibrating continuously--it was on the HTC boot screen with screen brightness at very very low and would not stop vibrating.

I hold the power button down for long periods of time and nothing happens. After letting go of the button, sometimes it does a single vibrate but the screen remains blank. Power button and vol-down does not boot into the bootloader either....Can anyone help me fix this? I have no backup phones I can use...

Welcome to the world of Android phone hacking.

The issue is that you are picking roms that are not for this phone. Roms designed for the Verizon version of the HTC One are in the Verizon HTC One sub-forum. Unfortunately there is enough of a difference between the models that they will not flash on other models without some work.

Stick with ROMS in these two forums and you will be in better shape:

Hi,

Today I have released free camera app named "Miniature Preview Camera".

Miniature Preview Camera

The following is a link to apk.

View attachment 2373645

You can capture miniaturized photo with real time preview.

Miniaturized photo is created by so-called tilt shift effect. However,beautiful miniaturized photo also requires good photo composition and objects which matches up with tilt shift effect. So this app offers real time preview of tilt shift effect. You can capture the best miniaturized photo while you are watching result of effect.

It also offers test for EDIT mode which makes you to add tilt shift effect to the image in gallery.

This is my first camera app.

I am worried the fact that behavior of android camera is very dependent on the device.

So I would appreciate if you could try it and give me some feedback.
