Hi!

Could somebody share with me the setting that are used to create an inset or cutout text effect?

Examples

Inset : designshack.designshack.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/css-textshadows-8.jpg

Cutout : [www].pinoy7.com/psptutorials/7/textcutout/images/img0.jpg

(can't post outside links yet =(( )

Guess is semantics on which term you use. I tried using a blur offset of 1 then -1 for both the x and y with a color that was lighter and tried even darker. Didn't really work for me.

Hope somebody can help! I'm learning and I've learned a lot just trying to recreate things I've seen!

Thanks many times in advance!

How would ROM deving work for this type of phone where people choose their own specs?

now that i think of it, how would there be updates either? its like a one and done process. so if you buy the phone, you'll stay on the Android version that comes preloaded
[Project Ara General] NaveenKumarXDA:
I am thinking towards windows kind of update model but free this time.

Only thing is can we modify Linux kernel for enough flexibility.
[Project Ara General] The_0bserver:
Might be able to work if the MDK enforces a unified modular structure. And extra parts of ROM's would target some v heavy/popular modules.
[Project Ara General] monkeytools:
I think you ubuntu may be the way to go.
[Project Ara General] meyece:
Since my knowledge is really limited, if Google and manufacturers cooperate for open-hardware and open-source environment, it will be like installing drivers on a new OS. So everyone can use latest version of Android. Am I right or really really wrong?
[Project Ara General] Pottkopp:
I could imagine an official update method in which the used modules are recognized and the update fits perfect to that phone or the modules have anyhow universal usable drivers stored on themselves while you can change them without re-flashing the entire rom.. what do you think?
[Project Ara General] LaputaCake:
Surely if all the componets are made by the same manufacter the roms would be universal but with some roms being heavier for the powerfuller phones and lighter for cheaper phones
[Project Ara General] insink71:
It will be harder. There will be bloated kernels that account for unused modules. Likely to be devs that tune to a specific hardware set [their's], etc. But w/ a diy modular phone, they'll probably be no shortage of developers.

A cooler way would be to enable more run as module on kernel and have each module self-load its drivers [like plug-n-play]. This could avoid the kernel bloat I aluded to earlier.

[Project Ara General] plageran:
I agree with this, or maybe if the system can build the driver files on startup or installation. but then you will be looking at stall's and system freeze if it's interrupted. (just mentioned something similar in another post lol!):fingers-crossed:
[Project Ara General] XpLoDWilD:
If the bootloader can report the serial/models of the components, the kernel can turn on and off what's needed or not. From there yes, there will be a ****ton of modules to compile even if half aren't used. We can also expect to see hybrid kernel drivers doing different things based on some data returned by the actual component (e.g. 16GB vs 32GB storage) -- assuming those components work the same.
[Project Ara General] JuNex03:
Maybe they'll make a new OS for this, kinda like Windows OS. It's supposed to be universal, no matter what kind of parts are installed.
[Project Ara General] juan120535:
The rom devs can list the minimum specs for the rom so the user has at least the minimum for the rom
[Project Ara General] keenofhiphop:
Nope, it is said that you can change modules on the fly. Maybe there are just drivers in the plug in that are loaded first...

Maybe the compatibility to drivers coves with android 5.0?

as people have said this wont be common outside the custom pc type market and if it don't support android in some from whether that be via a custom rom and recovery like cwm/twrp it will be a massive flop

i cant see why it cant come with a option that has cwm installed with a rom,them its attractive to coders
[Project Ara General] tanmaychhatbar:
I really hope that they have the option for sales of just the outer shell. Then, people like me can custom select whatever they want without having to waste the stock modules which would then be rendered useless.
[Project Ara General] MadHakker:
i hope they make a rolling system similar to how its done by Arch Linux where you start with just a base and let the owner select his own modules or let the user make their own module. that would be fantastic! i mean perfect!
[Project Ara General] FlashPwnage:
I think there will only be ROMs for certain phone combinations

Sent from my ultimately bumped up LG-P700 running CM11
[Project Ara General] keenofhiphop:
The modularity will be programmed into the OS. Wether that part goes open source or not is another question.

Gesendet von meinem XT1039 mit Tapatalk
[Project Ara General] shokzi:
all parts will be class compliant iirc, meaning each new OS/rom only needs have generic drivers, anything that isn't class compliant needs to carry its own drivers, i could be wrong but im sure thats what he said in the interview with the first working spiral 1
[Project Ara General] LiamAtkins90:
I may be a bit crazy in thinking this.

But I'd LOVE project ARA and Cyanogenmod to partner and have their CM OS on the ARA modular phones. Imagine we could have theme chooser on the device. And customise it exactly to our liking.

inside and out in this case.

But alas it's only a pipe dream.
[Project Ara General] pjgowtham:
I think ara is gonna make android OS transform like Windows desktop pc. We install the thing and it automatically configures.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BeyondtheTech:
If you're like me, you've soft-resetted your device more times in one month than there are days in a year.

So, after a nice extended boot sequence with the new Windows Mobile 5.0, you click on the Start icon, only to wait nearly 30 seconds while it grabs all the icons from the various programs you have recently loaded, plus the ones you have stored permanently in your Start Menu. Of course, if you have recently launched Skype, you'll know it has to sift through nearly 4 or 5MB for that tiny icon data located at the end of the executable. Why Microsoft hasn't learned to cache icons permanently in a file is beyond me.

My temporary solution? With Resco Explorer, I launch a REG file in my \Windows\Startup folder that sets these registry entries:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch]
"6"=" "
"7"=" "
"8"=" "
"9"=" "
"5"=" "
"4"=" "
"3"=" "
"2"=" "
"11"=" "
"10"=" "
"1"=" "
"0"=" "

Of course, I get prompted to the effect of, "Do you want to import these registry entries...?" to which I have to click "YES." Then I have to acknowledge its confirmation that it did so by clicking "OK."

It's annoying at best, but so is the Recent Start Menu. I personally wish it wasn't there.

Is there anyone here able to make a tiny executable that will quietly delete the above registry entries? When placed in the StartUp folder, it will have wiped out all the recently loaded programs and keep the Start Menu nice and clean.

I have contacted Resco, PHM, TweakUI, and the other registry editing developers, none of which have either gotten back to me or claim that it's a "security issue" that they leave the confirmation in there.

All I want is a clean Start Menu. Can anyone help with a tiny executable, or better yet, find a way to remove the Recent Start Menu Items section from the Start Menu completely? Of course, making these registry changes will only take effect before the Start Menu is called for the first time after a soft reset, so it has to be placed in the StartUp folder.

Aaaugh, these tiny annoyances.

Another possible application is to make a tiny executable that simply launches another program. For instance, I'd like to keep a 2KB file that will launch Skype for me. I'll keep THAT file as a shortcut in the Programs Folder, while any other instance, such as launching Skype from the Contacts menu, will still launch the original executable. It's the fact that the Windows Mobile OS has to pull the icon data from each executable on the first run after a soft reset is so damn annoying.

If anyone can make a generic executable that can be easily hex edited to incorporate any executable's filename and manipulated by Microangelo or any other icon editor to copy and paste the icon data from the original executable to the launcher executable, that would be awesome. Imagine WM only having to look at a 2KB file for the stupid icon instead of each 500K-5MB file for it.

You guys following me on this one? Is there a brave and bright soul who can do these things?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chopel:
So you mean, after I run this file then I have to softreset right?

What I got from you is I have to softreset all the time when the recent program has full.

Anyway to disable it? like in PPC2002, I can disable it in my PPC2002 Tosh E740. But I cant do that in my wm2005 (O2 Atom)

Hi chinnybob and BeyondtheTech,

This is my favourite Program that I first install after every Hard Reset :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] n3rxs:
my 8125 keeps complaining it not a signed app
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ShrewLWD:
I went about it a different way.

I created a Folder called Applications in the Windows \ Start Menu folder.

I then moved all the icons (except a favorite app) out of the Programs folder and into Applications.

I then used Resco File Explorer and changed the Properties of the Programs Folder to Hidden.

Voila! Recent Programs disappear! No need to clean out the registry.

The reason I leave a favorite app in the Programs folder is because the Menu bar will state 'Recent Programs' greyed out as a place holder where the Recent Items used to sit. Having a default app there forces at least one to stay. I left Resco File Explorer's shortcut.

Hope this helps!

There is a program called "startclean" thats an .exe and only about 2k that clears the program list. You can also do this with the "cleartemp" app among other things.

MemMaid

MemMaid 2.0 can do this.

Start MemMaid. Go to Tweaks -> System Tweaks.

Scroll to the bottom, and select "Clear Programs History on reset"

I always install MemMaid 2.0 as my first application after a hard reset, and then "Optimize for Extreme Speed". That really makes a difference! (More than optimizing with SKTools)

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ast00:
I know my title is not very informative, but I explain.

Today morning I started restoring a backup using CWM 6, but for some reason the phone just turned off. It was on charger since 6 hours, so it wasn't discharged. After that I tried to boot it up, it tried going to recovery but it showed a CWM logo with black background and nothing else for hours. I was like WTF???

So I flashed CWM 4, it was working, but pressing wipe data resulted in a freeze. Pressing anything else resulted in a reboot and black screen loop until I was holding home for recovery. I flashed CWM 6 and I started restoring another backup which I know isn't corrupted, but it's stuck at restoring data. WIping anything still reboots it, fix permissions does the same. Now what the hell happened to it?

EDIT: My phone is back up running thanks to an italian 4 package GB. I can restart flashing cwm and stuff. But still no idea what happened.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Masrepus:
Wtf?! Was this some kind if failure in the backup or a cwm bug? Glad u managed to reset it :good:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:
I used to be able to leave my note 3 on all night (screen off of course) and it would be down to about 95% when I got up. This morning it had dropped to 84% and the culprit was media server. Of course no media was running that I know of.

I once tried a battery usage app but it was of no value because it didn't list the names of apps as I know them. Instead it would list com.whatsit.whatever and gobblygook.neverheardofit etc. Is there a battery usage app that will list the names of apps as I know them along with percentage of battery they use?

Yes, it's the service that scans all files on your storage, both internal and MicroSD. You can just force-stop it under settings-->general-->applications-->running-->com.samsung.android.strokesearch:service-->stop.

Unless you dont have electricity, have to tell time often and want a watch with no colored then by all means get a pebble. Who needs a watch on 24-7 anyways??? If you want something with color, can totally customize, play games and more then u will like the gear. Samsung kept it simple for quick access and simplicity. Mine will go approx 3 days on a single charge and will fully charge in little to no time. The gear is capable of so much more which these guys from XDA has proved.

No sdk though and pebble has tasker support which is a big bonus

In another thread you can see me and three other guys doing our best to get that working. One guy got close, got a building environment up and running. At that point, TWRP arrived with an almost ready recovery. I think the last bugs are being sorted at the moment. In addition, I am still waiting for confirmation that it works with the p605-model.

So, to get this development train rolling, make a comment in the TWRP-thread so we can get that recovery completed. When that is done, I guess there is no holding back when it comes to testing ROMs, kernels etc.
