[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jtsv:
Yeah thats the issue part says dont care othet says dont need security issue but its nice to be safe amd secure. Bricked 3 E4GT andb4th power button broke but all covered by insurance when they upgraded me to GS3 and then I needed a new phone and got the Gs4.

My 3 was running Cyan 11 w/4.4 kitkat and Xposed 128 dpi. I have almost everything I was used to with root with this stock except the 128 dpi so Im trying to figure if I just need to play it safe for a while or not.

I'm irritated by the play store every time I try to install with it pulling 1 of 3 error codes ever since upgraded to 4.3 so part of me wants to just root to 4.4 since I know how it runs but Ive only found 1 stable 4.4 available and not too familiar of roms since my experience is from E4GT and Gs3 days.

My first thoughts are if I know I may have issues and create more issues with my phone with Knox then why even bother?

Last clarification if I root Knox then acts like the old odin counter and or it also will keep me from flashing unroot back to stock? Kinda if can't reboot back to stock then if I softbrick and need help im on my own where as in past I still got help from sprint tech support and insurance because they couldn't prove I rooted an csused the issue.

Knox makes it permanent like water damage sticker with iOs?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] btvolta:
I was all over it, made sure they didn't push the update. I now have it frozen, and I flashed beanstalk. It's running great so far. It seems though that none of the nice features that come with this phone are on this ROM. Next I will look to flash another kernel and then comadose. BTW, the recovery I installed B is Philz. It appears that if you want to use some of the nice stock options, probably need flash a TW ROM.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomeG2kc:
Sorry for noob questions but everywhere I was looking for that questions I found not so clear answers.

Maybe those answers can help others to?

So, questions are:

1. Is this truth that I can install official-like bootloader v. MK4 without KNOX, and it has same functionality like original from Samsung with KNOX?

2. My bootloader is v. ME6. Is this truth, when I install bootloader v. MK4 I cannot back to earlier bootloaders?

3. Most important question to me: is possible to install official-like bootloader (but modified) without KNOX (from question 1. - if truth) and with possibility of, if something happen with hardware, to get back my Note 2 to warranty service without issues of warranty ?

4. If not, what can I do to make ready my Note 2 to be without KNOX flag 1?

(Of course I know that I should use Triangle Away for custom and official flag too) - but what about KNOX flag? Is this even possible to me - remember, I'm still on bootloader v. ME6.

Can someone can explain me cleary and loud those things?

[Other Tools & General Discussion] ankit662003:
I wanna know if there are any online data base which provide artist images,which can be used in a commercial app.Basically i was using the api of last fm ,i even developed code for that and i contacted them for a commercial license key and they said that artist images cannot be used for commercial purpose or else i may face a lawsuit from the artists...how do other apps manage then??they can't just pay money to every artist.......so are there any databases which allow their images to be used for commercial purpose ??i have seen playerpro using the discogs and google custom search for artist images.Can any one even use google custom search for image artist ??would that be legal?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Ryccardo:
I remember seeing a Google Advanced Image Search option for pictures with a specific license (and I wonder how they manage to accurately do so... assuming it actually works).

If attribution is OK for you (as it ought to always be done!) all public domain and CC-BY images should be fine.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] ankit662003:
Hi

well yeah i have seen that image search the images are copyright free but they are not very good, and moreover i am very sure that playerpro uses licences-ed images,Also i was thinking,since google shows licensed images,can't we?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Ryccardo:
1: Its devs are either playing dirty or got in some kind of agreement. Since it's almost impossible to ask each single photographer, they're probably using a celebrity photo archive -- somewhat like in "stock photography", where there's a middle man between the creator and the consumer of the images.

2: If Google can see it, so can a human -- just like showing a (still copyrighted) painting in a museum doesn't directly give the public any rights on it but blatantly means the owner intended it to be seen (and, something often confused, copyright doesn't directly imply the ability to restrict viewing!)
[Other Tools & General Discussion] ankit662003:
Hi

Yeah ,there is a fair use policy as well,which allows use of copyrighted images to be used(But that fair use policy is not defined properly in U.S.A)

and moreover i am in India.I really don't know what laws are applicable here and what i can do..It may happen that i am doing nothing illegal but still may get my google android account closed,which i don't want to .......i saw that somewhere in album art fetching done by playerpro it was written "powered by google" but google's custom search is too expensive,and i am still not sure if that would be legal or not.......I came across last fm too but they don't allow the images to be used by third party(I don't know why would they build an api if they don't allow their images to be used ) i also came across discogs,still not sure about their license and i don't know how to use their api...do u know any such database which is legal to use by third parties for commercial purpose ?

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] GideonS:
When I first tried installing this stack (see here: http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=33532 ) my exisiting bluetooth devices - a Jabra BT200 headset and Ambeon GPS both worked, just like that - without re-pairing, the latter with TomTom3.

However, in order to make stereo over A2DP to work I had to hard-reset and reinstall everything. Glad to say A2DP did work! However took opportunity to upgrade from TomTom3 to TomTom5.

Now I've re-paired with the GPS using the new stack, during which it asks if I want ti install a serial port. But it doesn't seem to be recognised by TomTom. And, if I go to the COM tab, and try and add a new port there is nothing in the drop down.

Any ideas?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jackleung:
The BT outgoing port on my magician is fixed at Com5. Maybe because I am using GPS Gate (a program to create virtual Com port so that U can open 2 or more GPS program at the same time), I don't have any problem before and after installing that BT stack.

Maybe U can try GPS Gate too. Just open Com5 in GPS gate and create an virtual port Com6. Then ask TT to connection to Com6.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] GideonS:
Thanks but it's all OK

I used this great little free program

http://www.teletype.com/downloads/tty.zip

to test whether the GPS box was actually connected (but not recognised by TomTom) and it was - on COM5!

So I pocked around with TomTom some more, and found that it could pick up a signal on COM5 but if a signal was not there it reported that 'No GPS device' rather than 'No valid GPS signal.'
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vascosilva50:
upgrade tomtom 5 to tomtom 5.1 :wink:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] inspecta:
GideonS, did you get BT outgoing port to show up? If so, how? Like you, when I try to select one, it comes up with a blank selector box.

(Maybe I missed something in the thread, but the GPS Gate surely relies on diverting an existing port?)

thanks in advance!

I Hate Ghosts is a cute FREE game about little funny looking ghosts who really want to prevent a little kid from sleeping.

Your main objective is to stop the ghosts from their way to the unlucky kid.

How to play: There are a couple of Vacuums which absorb ghosts, but they are activated just one at once. Also, they activate according to an activation sequence which is given to you at the beginning of each level. It is best that you memorize the sequence and always know where the next ghost will go.

It is a simple game that combines both brain and memory skills, and it is also casual, good for adults and kids.

It also has a score based Survival mode.

The game offers:

-levels in increasing difficulty, in three different locations

-a lot of crazy and funny looking ghosts with different abilities

-difficulty setting, so that every one can play the game and win

-the activation sequence gameplay is original

-Survival mode, where you run away from ghosts, and use some of the ghosts in your advantage by controlling their movement

This game has NO in-game purchases. If you like the game please donate using the Paypal button inside the main menu.

Note: Donating will not add any features to the game. If you donate, it would help SilvMania Apps develop future games. There is already another game waiting to be developed. So please contribute.

What dou you guys think? Please don't be harsh about the graphics, I will update them as quickly as I can (I hope this week)

This morning I was playing asphalt 8 then i received message i pressed home button and checked the message and when i returned to the game it started from the beginning!!!

So I decided to make experiment.... I opened many apps then i noticed that some of them were closed automatically!!!!

Then I realized that the ram usage has limit of 1300 mb and there are 400 mb ram i can't use them!!!???

So now if i play heavy game i don't go anywhere unless i will lose my progress.

What's your experiment with heavy games?

Have you noticed what Iam talking about??

Thanks

blame the OOM killer of the linux kernel... It should literally consume all your available RAM when the application demands it but whenever your screen closes your app is then considered a background app and since OOM is set to flush the memory when it reaches a certain % your games get's flushed due to it consuming RAM.

I think you could adjust the oom if you are rooted. Just set it to 0% so even if your RAM is fully used it won't kill any apps.

The problem of Android: no matter how much RAM you have, it will eat it All.

That how it is on my any Device with Android.

Right now on my Xperia Z1 ram left 400mb, all apps closed.

They told me to buy best phone ever to forget about laggy apps, I use now NextLauncher and some time is laggy, how it is possible? WTF?

(Xperia Z1 still best phone ever, the problem is Android!)

I think Kitkat update will fix that problem because it will use less RAM and will be "lighter" :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
I don't think is out for Xperia Z1 yet!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pecholino:
The way i see it.. more free ram means more wasted ram.

So the perfect OS would use 100% of ram all of the time so apps loaded in ram would be superfast. Then when an app would demand more ram the OS should just kill the least used ones on the fly.

Thats just my opinion.. I don't need 400mb just to be sitting ducks. I want to use all the available, all of the time!

It's like having our cpus on 1.7ghz while playing demanding 3d games and leaving the remained 500mhz to rest because the "alarm clock" may need it sometime in the future. Meanwhile the game i'm playing is stuttering;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
To me looks like overloaded and not fast at all.

This happen under stress with many application open.

Resonable explanation but we don't like that :D , the cpu is progressive when needed so the ram should be the same. Using all cpu and ram logically will increase the consumption of enegry, 1 point for us to avoid that, not needed for 1 app.

Also Android use many apps and settings in standby, why all the trouble. I want free ram for few app because I want them fly without laggy at all and if there is less ram to use the app which I need will be laggy because the OS have to think what to kill.

No No No. I don't like that. :)

But it will on the future.

Than you should not have bought an android phone, it's just the way the system works.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Potetsjokolade:
I Just had this idea, what if somebody would produce backplates for the nexus 7 in aluminium? Like replace the whole backplate, to get an iPad premium feel to it?

Would it be possible due to the antennas? I'm curious because I just broke my Nexus 7 backplate, and it would be nice to have something more premium than plastic on the back.

I own a Nexus 7 with LTE
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] r9800pro:
No, because Google is cheap

You get what you pay for
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] fosser2:
Wireless charging will not work with an aluminum back plate. Also reception is exponentially degraded.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] dottat:
Well. Depends on where the antennae are. My HTC one is a nice block of aluminum.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] iamezio:
Your HTC One , has external antennas, the aluminium case is used as the antenna's just like the iPhone 4+ , this is why you have this white plastic strips , to separate the the casing in to different antenna's .

When it comes to antennas and aluminium body's doesn't matter where the antennas located ,aluminium blocks any kind of wireless signal ,so you have to use some kind of RF window , like on the Wifi iPad's , the apple logo is a "RF window" for the wifi antenna, or the plastic strip on top of the Cellular iPad's .
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lotherius:
1. Learn how to electroplate plastic (it ain't easy) http://www.azom.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=525 and take off the back and electroplate it.

2. Get a lathe and cut out your own from a block of aluminum.

3. Take off the back, make a mold, and pour molten aluminum into the mold. Polish to heart's content and install.

None of the options are really easy unless you're an experienced fabricator.

Best to choose the tablet that has what you want before you buy, so you don't regret not having a block of aluminum later.

Myself, I don't automatically think that METAL = BETTER QUALITY. I look at the ACTUAL quality of the device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] dottat:
That was my point. He's only talking about the backplate.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] godutch:
I have an HTC One and I like the premium feel but I much rather would like to have a phone made by plastic (but I like sense so that's why I bought it) , besides the antenna problem of metal:

Plastic is more durable, scuffs less easy

Plastic is lighter and slightly elastic , therefore less impact when falling a smaller chance to break the display and just more comfortable to hold or deformity of the body

Alluminium phones remind me of bug(arthropod) "design" instead of the much more flexible and elegant "design" of vertebrates
