Hey Rags, I get the message!

Have a read about my plugin, VJEphemeris, here:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=32486&start=7

It's a continuous work in progress/testbed for me, so it's not really for release.

The rest of my setup from top to bottom:

ToggleToday to remove startbar and newbar (updated soon)

My phonealarm skin available here:

AlarmToday (has been resource hacked to suit my theme, but not shown on that screenshot)

Weather panel

i had nokia 6600 then the 6680 but the imate kjam is much better, the only thing missing is you cannot record the phone conversations on pda-phones (yet anyway)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
Weather panel or whatever it's called is by www.sbsh.net.

It's neat and doesn't use tabs, which would be more than I need.

It's a bit of a chunky program, 2mb or something, for what it is, but nicely customisable and good for the UK. Most seem to be US based.

I'm going to try and figure out my own weather plugin and squeeze it into VJEphemeris at some point. I find that there's better weather available, eg

http://mobile.wunderground.com/auto/mobile/global/stations/03772.html

But I like the plugin as it stands.

hi vj,

this question is completely unrelated to this forum. i noticed in one of the other forums u had mentioned re dual sims. any advice for unlocking the mda vario and best option for dual or more sims in the handset. the options are the no cut dual sim adapter/ cutting 2 sims( not very confident to successfully cut 2 sims) or the super sim. any experience with any of these. help much appreciated. would be greatfull if you could direct your reply to rags_999@yahoo.com or leave it here in the forum.

cheers

I had used my P800 for 2 years before buying my Jam last year. Recently the sound on my Jam stopped working so I am back to my P800 until the Jam gets repaired.

My thoughts:

After usning my old P800 for 4 days now, I really miss my Jam. The things that I have found that my P800 are doing better are, jog dial (love that thing), handwriting recognition is good, voice dial activation, call sound quality is better;music quality is worse. I really like the custom screen that I designed myself, it is too bad the same can't be done on a PPC. That is it.

Things that are much better on the Jam are outlook synchronization, screen quality and brightness, battery life, size of the device (the P800 is a tank in comparison), Office apps (ever tried to copy and paste on UIQ?), CPU speed, SD storage, web browsing, video playback and most importantly WIFI and network connectivity!

Based on the last few days of using my P800 again, I won't be lining up for the new P990 but rather the UMTS version of a new Jam that can run Skype well.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
Matterhorn: for screen brightness on the magician, have you seen my program VJLumos. It makes the old magician screen look dark! It'll burn your eyes out.

rags_999: what country are you in?

Supersims only work on fairly old style sims. In Europe they pretty much don't work AFAIK.

Cut sim (mozeltof!): I use a cut sim. Search against my username for dual sim to see my posts.

Basically, in the uk I bought it from this guy:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6415916094&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1

for about £4 or so.

Cutting the sim was easy, just have a steady hand, and do it in slivers. Slice away slowly. But either way, it'll either work or you'll chop the thing in half and screw it. With a steady hand, no problem. Just don't forget to remove the little sticker that comes with it as a template. I did that and worried myself silly when the sim didn't register :oops:

I don't know about the wizard, but I can't see any reason in the world why they wouldn't work. The sim standard is a standard. My only issue was ensuring there was enough pressure from the sim and the sim reader contacts (because the dual sim is thinner than normal slightly).

Tell me how it goes!

V
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Matterhorn:
I'll give it a try, thanks. As long as it doesn't burn out the screen :shock:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
Shouldn't burn out the screen.

It just loads the camera in the background, tricking the system to use the brighter setting that is enabled by that.

So if the camera is safe, so is VJLumos :)

Moved to a Nokia 9500

I got a Nokia 9500 in the beginning of this year, moving from a qtek 2020 (himalaya) - with a sandisk wifi card "sticking out" ;-) among other add-ons.

I must say, I bought the 9500 mostly for the fact of the built in wifi, although i have found the browser slow and disappointing. Yet somehow the Nokia delivers in its own way. It is very stable, does sms/e-mail/fax very well. All attachments (incl. zip files/pdf/msoffice stuff is handled well - what one could expect). Also the keyboard (in Danish) is a big plus for me. I did start to get tired screen-punching those small keys. Nice to see the 9000 and 9100 comming about.

WM5 does allow you to do a lot and can be very flexible. For exampel, I don´t think skype will be made available for symbian 80 which I would have liked. Anyway, I did also (after tons of upgrades and "fine tuning" - thanks in part to these great pages) get a bit tired of having to tweak the qtek all the time, at least to keep up with the problems I have run into the last 2-2½ years.

Don´t know if I should cry og laugh.

Anyway, I am hoping for a new phone in ½ a year or so, maybe the Hermes, p990 or next 9500 upgrade or better yet:

A WM6 phone with quad band, 3G & HSPDA, 5 Megapixel camera w. flash, wifi n, svga screen etc. - all in a 9500-like package.

You can always dream - right?

L8R,

Gnuig (Denmark)

Edit - Ups, forgot to mention the screen - the Nokias isn't a touch screen, yet incredibly bright and very high res., one of the best I have seen. I'll give an update, when I get to check out the 9100 and universal. Cheers.

[Android Software Development] deanokidd95:
Welcome everybody to my first PC software creation for Android: ADB-ED!

This simple Batch/DOS Script collection allows for easy operation of the ADB console by n00bs and pro-devs alike :)

SETUP:

1.) Copy adb.exe, adbwinapi.dll and adbwinusbapi.dll into the adb-ed folder.

2.) IF RUNNING FOR THE FIRST TIME: Run adbed.bat. Otherwise, ignore it. :)

3.) Start vetr.bat. This is the main console.

Q and A:

Q.) What is the plugins folder for?

A.) This is so that you can all write your own batch/dos scripts to use with adb-ed. You will see how to access and run your plugins by running vetr.bat. Also, the plugins folder is where you can put other people's scripts to run. :)

Q.) And the source folder?

A.) This is a folder with both adbed.bat and vetr.bat in pure .txt format, for your easy editing pleasure. :)

Q.) Can I fork this and edit it, re-releasing as mine?

A.) OF COURSE! BUT... You MUST give credit to me as the original creator, and there MUST be changes other than just strings changed. Also, post it on your own thread. I wish to keep this one for the original adb-ed. :)

Q.) Will it work with "*" device?

A.) If it works with ADB already, then yes.

Q.) Can I ask for ETA's?

A.) YES! I will be doing updates VERY frequently, so please... waste your time by all means... I will most likely not respond! X'D

Q.) Why create this? I can do these things all on my own!

A.) Well then do it, and quit wasting bandwidth browsing the adb-ed forum!

One more note for writing your own plugins: I have included a file called header.txt. You MUST include this at the VERY START of your script/plugin!

Thank you all,

Deano!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sonic1981:
I have uk Xperia Ultra and tried to install pa on her last night which failed and I ended up with a soft brick which I managed to recover back to stock firmwire, I have now rerooted my phone and have full root I now understand I need to unlock my bootloader but when I do that *# thing it says I cannot unlock bootloader and flashtool also says that ? So does that mean I can never install custom rom on my phone ?????
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Ouch.. Yes, you're right as far as i know (but things might change?). I'm like 99% sure this is the case, but i'll let somebody else that are not completely new to Sony device (like me) to answer this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sonic1981:
Yeah I'm the same mate I've been Samsung since 2008 this is the first Sony I've had and I proper bricked it last night lol managed to get her back using Sony of companion and stock firmware but I'm devastated I can't install.paranoid android as it always been my favourite I've posted similar question in the pa thread but still.no answer
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nihal1983:
I had the same issue yesterday. It happens due to missing drivers and the like.it was on a win8 PC.I moved to win7 and was able to unlock bloader and install pa
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Well that sucks. Did you purchase your Ultra from a carrier or something?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
as far as i know, no one has discovered an exploit yet with the Z1 or Ultra... so you can't unlocked a bootloader (with a locked device)

I'm guessing its likely to happen, as with the two devices being basically internally identical, you'll have double the chance.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mighty_X:
Hey new family!

Just brought my new z1 home, updated firmware and still Im totally unhappy with its camera. pictures are super blurry in auto and manual mode. Tested indoor with much daylight in the room... schould be more than plenty. My old galaxy s3 made way better pictures. Any suggestions? is it possible that i have a faulty model??

Greetz
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2grae:
what mode are you shooting in?

this seems to make most difference.

there are threads about the camera already so in a nutshell - 8mp is better than 20mp for sharpness/clarity

scene - landscape or night if light is low
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Desperanto86:
14.1.G.2.257 perfect image quality!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morlock O:
I think you should share some of your pics + the modes selected to us so that our recommendation would be more accurate :D

I like Manual + 20mp + ISO 100 or 50 + EV 1 or 2 notches up depending on the light... I also prefer using the dedicated shutter button so that your hand is more stable... for moving objects (or very shaky hands) higher the ISO the less the blurriness but more noise...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bromsoket:
8mp manual mode is the best and there's definitely some trouble with the autofokus.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n70shan:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] av4tar:
This was just a quick snap using superior auto, which isn't the greatest mode but that is absolutely fine to me.

I'd get it looked at
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
what are the lighting conditions in this shot? how far away was the can from the camera?

I can see the noise in the background. Also, the MON and ER are a but blurry. Other that that, the picture is ok - nothing spectacular.

I can't wait to try the camera out when I get the phone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] av4tar:
Mid morning with a window behind me, can was about 8-12 inches away.

Focusing on the can would make the background a little blurred
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
Looks fine for those conditions albeit a bit grainy. Nothing to cry over really. I just got mine today but unfortunately the c6906 doesn't have the latest firmware yet. I'll do some test shots after I get off work to see what the the fuss is about.

**Please do not use this thread for requesting invites!**
[General Topics] billykxda:
I've been using it for a day now and I find it curiously intriguing. It's a totally fresh user experience that feels a little like Google Now to me.

Frankly, I never thought ANY launcher could pull my attention away from my custom-crafted (ok, OCD-crafted) user experience I designed using Nova Launcher. I have the same design on all of my mobile devices and it feels like part of my DNA.

Can't say yet if Aviate will be a permanent replacement for my Nova-based home, but I seem to be staying with it.
[General Topics] iWon't:
Just saw the video presentation. I'm looking foward to have a little more feedback about this app.

I liked the fact that it categarises apps and I disliked (as in google now) the fact that you must have your gps on in order to take full advantage of it. Makes a lot of sense and it's very useful but I don't like the idea of sharing my whereabouts all the time...
[General Topics] danyfra:
Been playing with it since yesterday as well on my HTC One.

Like it so far, like the idea of the activities changing during the day. Not sure how it's controled though. Today ie, I set it to Work, and when checking my phone later on, it was set on Home... don't know why.

Of course the custom side of it is quite limited, I assumed it will be better with later versions.

[General Topics] mike208:
I was able to get an invite for aviate and loaded it up and started setting it up, when I started to wonder if this was the launcher for me. I loved the idea of chameleon launcher back when it came out, how it changed your home screen based on time of day. This seems similar in many ways. But then it dawned on me, I generally do a lot of the same things on my phone no matter where I am. That being the case, would someone like me benefit from this type of launcher?
[General Topics] billykxda:
I have uninstalled and moved on.

Not being able to do direct dial shortcuts the way I want is a deal-breaker for me.

Plus, I found that I really don't need access to different apps at different times of the day. I like always knowing where they are - all the time.

More power to those that find they like Aviate. For me, it was a swing-and-a-miss.
[General Topics] kurtph1969:
Hi. Just found this thread. I'm loving Aviate so far and, I'm sure the customisation will improve in future releases.

I have to say I've not switched back after a week ... its superb

Just found you can add in different widgets to each of the homepage drop-down screens, so its even better now!

I think you would - you get the main 10 shortcuts + whatever widgets you put in the main screen where ever you are.

Just add in a photo widget to the home screen instead of the picture and you are set... same if you want to add quick-dial contact shortcuts
