[HTC One Mini] hengsheng120:
For those that like stock android, the HTC First (yes, the facebook phone some of you may hate) may be a cheap, good, alternative. It costs about ~200 usd atm for a new, contract free phone, which is half the price of the Mini with additional specs. It's even possible that the Mini's first aosp based rom may be the port of First's os because of their near identical specs. Hopefully both these phones will get more dev support along side each other and get cm support soon.

At that 1ghz budget phone price IMO the First at <200 is a steal just on the hardware alone. I think I may get it soon since at t discontinued it and supply will start to diminish. What do you guys think?
[HTC One Mini] dhf9*&Dh884jdk:
I hear that once you disable the Facebook home that it's almost like an ASOP rom. Specs are similar, overall, it's a nice looking mid-range phone, but support for it is pretty much dead.
[HTC One Mini] csoulr666:
It wasn't forgotten..............actually it was an AT&T exclusive(now discontinued), and was never meant to be released worldwide

A few folks were able to SIM UNLOCK it, leading to people selling it on ebay.........It is a good device, but the camera was it's weakness which caused it to not become popular
[HTC One Mini] hengsheng120:
Isn't the camera is always horrible on stock android? I looked at the reviews and don't think the Mini's camera is that much better hardware wise. It's mostly because of software, and if the Mini gets popular, the First probably will also get more dev support. A Mini dev has already ported sense (with only bt the only thing not working) onto the the First. When you just consider hardware specs and after the both phones reach the end of life support from HTC, I think don't think it's that bad of an alternative.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Carloskeee:
Running Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 Stable (4.2.2). Looking to delete the CyanMascot (blue guy) from the boot screen. I'm not talking about the boot animation, but the initial start screen before that, it also says "Samsung Galaxy SIII" (and he is under it, waving i believe)

Any help would be great.

You need to flash a splash screen, you could probably find a stock one somewhere, or you can look around for custom ones. There are plenty in the themes and apps section, just don't have the time to find and link them.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
Hi. I would like to ask about .apk files.

I have had the eternal issue of certain apps and games on the Google Play store not being compatible with my device.

Had a Kindle Fire HD. Tried downloading apps thru a 3rd-party source (like 1Mobile) but got frustrated because apps are sometimes "in conflict" with the Kindle App Store-downloaded apps.

For example this game called The King of Fighters-A 2012. If i buy the new Nexus 7 and its not compatible i have to endure the hassle of returning my device to the store, wait for my refund then buy another device. There seem to be no info on device compatibility on certain apps or games nowadays.

So, this leads me to my question:

1. To avoid the frustration of having a device (Kindle Fire, Nexus 7, Galaxy Tab 3, etc) that's incompatible with the app...what is the best way to download an app?

2. Will downloading an .apk file be "sufficient" i.e. dealing with issues such as updates, etc.?

3. What or where would be a good source of .apk files on the net?

Please advice.Thanks.

Any of you lucky HDX owns know if it supports USB OTG (MicroUSB to normal USB)? I've seen some specs saying it does. If so:

Does it support a USB keyboard/mouse?

Does it support Mass Storage? (Flash Drives/Card Readers)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RayZhang:
Thanks a lot.

So I have to unlock the phone if I want to use another carrier's SIM.

Can I use a windmobile SIM after I unlock a Bell Samsung Galaxy S3 - SGH-i747M?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vanisleryan:
Yes you can...once it is unlocked you can use any carrier....I'm on Rogers using my bell s3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RayZhang:
It is said the Bell Device can use a Rogers SIM after unlock but not a Wind SIM.

I have unlocked my phone by downgrade to 4.1.1 stock rom.

When I insert the Wind SIM, detected the network but only the roaming network, and I can not register to that network.

When I change to a Rogers SIM, everything works fine.

Does anyone know if there is a way to configure the Bell i747M for a Wind SIM?

Thanks a lot.

As I now have the storage card as the default for saving pictures taken with the camera they no longer are included in the slide show which comes on if the mini is plugged into power (like a screensaver).

:?: Is there a way to have this pics as the slide show...

btw. Each time a picture is taken on a new day a new folder is created, is it possible to have them all saved in the one folder i.e "My Documents > My Pictures"?

Cheers all for any thoughts.

Hi marto_martin,

Don't know which rom & camera you're using, but the camera in rom 1.12 and newer supports your wish in saving pics & videos in my_pictures & my_videos without subfolders per day.Haven't found or looked for a screensaver when cradled solution.

Regards, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] marto_martin:
Thanks oltp,

unfortunately perhaps I just a liitle more confused now :shock: my device details are all the same as yours except ExtROM version is 1.12.920 WWE.

Under camera options the "save to:" is set to storage card but no options of going any further with the directory.

Is there another tools/options section I should be looking at?

cheers,

I think there is a screensaver software called Dockware (not sure) that will show your chosen pictures in slides when your PPC is docked
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
Hi dinoalbert,

Sounds plausible, I'll see if I can find it.

A personalized clock and calendar for your Pocket PC! Put your Pocket PC to work when it's sitting in its cradle! DockWare gives you a desk clock and calendar with your own pictures as the background, and is Windows Mobile 5.0 ready.

Plus, DockWare Pro lets you add password protection to block casual intruders whenever DockWare is running. It can even set off an alarm when your Pocket PC is removed from it's cradle. Protect your Pocket PC -- and your info -- when you're away from your desk!

Use our images or add your own pictures for DockWare to display.

Found it at Handango, first or second hit in google.

Thank a lot,

M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] marto_martin:
Well oltp not sure what I did but the camera is saving correctly now :)

Btw cheers guys for the details on Dockware, will check it out.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heatshiver:
I'm just about done with a ROM and I want to change the Settings to be like ICS (no tabs, just one long scrolling area). Pretty much like the Power User edition ROM for the D802 (I have asked the OP but got no response).

So my two issues are:

1) Which APK has the information about the Settings area? I have assumed either LGSettings.apk or LGSystemUIapk (or even framework-res.apk)...

2) I have tried decompiling LGSystemUI.apk, LGSettings.apk, and framework-res.apk but always get a thread "main" brut. error. If I use a normal APK, there is no problem.

I know that I should not use a modded APK of the three above, but I'm not sure where to get them. I have a system dump where no major changes were made (e.g. just installed apps, and turned off a few things in the settings area), but the APKs yield the same results. I also know this has to do with JB, but I'm not sure how to get around it (I just know it's possible). I have used several tools with identical results, and have read numerous threads without a solution. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm running Stock TouchWiz ARHD v3 XXUBMGA, fully debloated and some theming.

Every Widget that has options before its showed in Homescreen simply doesn't appear.

Examples:

Assistive Light (no seletion) - OK

Contact 1x1 (after selecting contact) - NO

Any Shotcut - OK

Settings Shortcut (after selecting setting) - NO

EDIT: ColorNote was capable to overcome the issue.

The widget setup always runs OK but the icon doesn't appear. No messages. There is any log to inspect?

Very weird.

Hello, can anyone explain to me how Directory Bind app actually works? In fact, in the app, I have no idea of why the default source directory is always the external SD card (instead of the internal SD by logic). Also, have anyone here actually get this app work on Note 2 since all the videos of demonstration of the app I saw online were done on those very old Gingerbread phones.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sawdoctor:
It works fine on the note 2. There is a really good tutorial in the note2 general section somewhere. Thats what I used. I'd probably recommend folder mount though as that will work on 4.2 and 4.3 whereas directory bind doesn't if I remember correctly
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonedead:
Yes..directory bind did not work on 4.3. You can use folder mount if you're on 4.3.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
Nope, it works just fine on 4.1.2. It maps folder on EXT SD to INT SD. So source is a folder on EXT SD and when you map it, OS sees it as INTernal... pretty simple.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Law 001:
I downloaded it but even when I selected the bind, it basically just moved everything from the source folder to the destination folder and emptied the source folder. However, the new files that suppose to go to the selected folder on the extsd also went to the int SD. Therefore, there is still something in the SD. Why?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Law 001:
I am using folder mount.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonedead:
It basically tricked your system to make it looks like the files in in internal sd, where they are actually in external sd.

Try unbind it, you can see that the folder in internal sd is actually empty.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Law 001:
That means that it the internal SD holds none of the files in the folder?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Law 001:
It works.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Law 001:
And the developer of this kind of app should win a Nobel Prize for Android Development if there is any; they should make one next year though...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Law 001:
However, do I always need to reserve about 2GB for the internal SD in order for the system to run those big apps since every time I bind the directory, it will think that 2GB is occupied?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Law 001:
And will the program only mount the apps only when I launched it ? Since if those apps were always mount go the folder, the system would always think that they are in the internal SD and occupy space.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonedead:
Nope. You can check your internal sd storage space in setting/storage..it will stay the same when you bind or unbind.

I recently noticed that when I install or update an app, I get a little pop-up message saying how much less internal storage I now have. But, when I just do an update, the internal memory is subtracted from as if I have added an app. I am under the impression that an update typically might be the same size or slightly more or less than the existing app it is overwriting. So, why is the internal storage is showing large amounts of megabytes subtracted? Should it should be doing that? Shouldn't it usually only be a minimal amount difference after an update?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carl Blance:
The updates you download are small right?, well think of it being in a compressed folder so everything is squashed in so its smallers (if you've heard of "winzip" you'll get what I mean). When it installs it can delete old code and put new code in, and now the update gets much larger or it can be an update to reduce the code etc... Update can vary in sizes like making a app compatible with a new device etc.. or adding in new features. Understand?

Before i get into the problem, i have technical experience and did not do this on a whim. Had to replace the USB port/microphone chipset in my Galaxy S2 so i bought a new part, and carefully took it apart. I did not have to remove the motherboard since i could work within the confines for installing the new chipset. Did, was careful with the antenna, but after putting it all together, i have slightly lower reception. When i had full bars i now i have three out of four.

Was there anything in special i had to keep in mind when handling the antenna? As far as i know it's a simple lead wire. What can i try apart from simple reseating the connector? Thanks.
