[Droid RAZR M Android Development] memetix:
Been using touchpal for couple of weeks now it works fine for dialling etc. but i can't figure out how to load previous contacts. I tried using appex to restore contacts from previous backup. it says its working but i don't find any contacts in touchpal after reboot. I have also got all my contacts as vcf files on my sdcard but can't find a way to import them. Also in my text message app when i receive a text and try to save the number it says it can't find the app to save the contact with. After much messing around with permissions etc i finally made touchpal save a contact if i type it in. Also touchpal doesn't seem to be creating any call logs so i can't find any of the previous numbers i dialled. It's all a bit frustrating really.

So i am thinking there must be some way to tell the phone that the contacts app is not the default one it is now touchpal, and perhaps then this will allow me to access android contacts and then import the vcf files? I suspect this is something to do with permissions and/ or android wanting to find a different app to manage contacts. I have been googling a bit but can't find anything useful about how android contacts work and how i can make this all work without having the native contacts app.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] aviwdoowks:
Have you set touchpal for google contacts?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] aviwdoowks:
Will update op tonight.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] memetix:
No, a) i don't know how to do that and b) i don't have any google stuff set up - i am trying to use the phone without using google's (skynet) services.

I remember importing vcf contacts before using the stock contacts app so i guess what i am really asking is if i can make touchpal do that...and it would be great if i could save numbers from text messages... many thanks as always

[Java for Android App Development] olemortens:
This is some hobby project i want to accomplish with, i have decent experience in programming java. But after quite a lot searching around and asking professors and anyone with experience in android development i got no clear vision of how this is accomplishable. The thing is, i want to develop an application that runs for a given amount of time(there´s a timer the user sets), during this given time certain applications will be blocked(or rather killed, or intents changed so they won´t even start to run). This selection will be done from a list given of third party applications installed.

As mentioned, ive searched everywhere i can, and the only leads i could ever find was the following:

1. Have continous check which kills the given application if it detects the specific applications running and will kill it. Downfall of this will be cpu-usage, optimalization and battery use. And also the device has to be rooted.

2. Have an alternative launcher, somehow this should help me a bit on the way to accomplish my goal. But here i sit thinking: Will i need to develop my own launcher to be able to succeed?

Nothing pointed me in any direction whether there are some native methods or similar in the android that perform similar tasks and how to implement it at all. Those who are saying there are plenty of applications our there similarly: No, they give you choices like block apps with a password and similar which is not what i´m after. I need some application that blocks it for the given time it´s set to(even though it is possible to go on your own in task manager and kill this application i want to develop, but that is out of the scope for now). This is to increase productivity without reaching for your cellphone all the time(yes, it might sound silly, but i´m quite sure it will help.

Any help is greatly appreciated as i´ve researched for over a month without any success.

[HTC Sensation XL] SweepsMT:
Can i flash a custom rom on a XL without using a SD card? My friends doesn't have a SD slot.

What software would i need to do it via USB?

this phone seems abit harder to get a rom on it than the optimus gt540 that i've previously put roms on etc..

Thanks
[HTC Sensation XL] Siphoné:
There is a storage space on the phone of about 9 Gigs to serve as SD card. It is read by the recovery, so you can flash zips that you put on it.

It is not much more complicated to tweak than other devices.

I'm thinking about trading my Note 3 for a G2. Ended up being too big for me. I have a few questions for you guys. How is it? Battery good? Camera? I've noticed that development is good. I'm a Verizon customer so if anyone out there had the Verizon version can they tell me how the back buttons are? They are obviously smaller than the other carrier versions. Anything will help. Thanks.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
Hey :D

first off - welcome!

I'm using the international version of the LG g2 so I can't give you any information about the back buttons of the phone. The battery is quite good if you don't have anything keeping the device awake. I still have a wakelock issue and I get 4-5 hours of screen on time. The camera performs really good in well-lit surroundings but lags when used in artificial lighting and in low light situations.

I don't know how the note 3 performs (I came from an iPhone 4) but I'm really satisfied with the smoothness and speed of this phone. It's absolutely wonderful.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriogenic:
Hey everyone,

I have done a search around the forums here and tried alot of the options given by the members on how I may unbrick my device.

However all the guides were about softbricking. I believe my phone is hard bricked. I get no charge light and no vibration or lights on the front of the phone.

Most of the options I read about required the phone to be able to atleast enter recovery but I am unable to do so I have tried for over 5 minutes holding the buttons down no response.

It was a STOCK phone, I have no idea what caused the QSBUSB_LOAD error.

I am yet to try the ubuntu method as I am looking for more information on it.

so basically I'm asking if anyone else has come back from a hard brick and ifso how did you achieve it

thanks.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] AlmightyCushion:
Hey.

I'm going skiing in a few weeks and I want a case that is going to protect my phone really well, especially the screen. Spigen have the Slim Armour View (http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s4-case-slim-armor-view.html) for the Galaxy S4 which is exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, the Slim Armour for the Nexus 5 doesn't have the part that flips over to protect the screen. Does any one know of anything similar for the Nexus 5?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bmolloy:
I did the rugged case search for the Nexus 5 as well and ended up with the Ballistic SG Maxx. It has good protection, comes with a rigid screen protector that you can put on or off, and has the holster that I don't use to clip to my belt, but to act as a complete face shield for the phone. It isn't my favorite case in the world, but it protects the hell out of the phone and it is only $25 on amazon now. I would love it if the N5 had a case like the one you linked to above, that is really nice.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
the gpu on the nexus 5 scales up and down, unlike most other devices. but we can set the gpu just like we can cpu speed. there are a few apps that let you. fauxclock, trinity kernel toolbox can, probably the franco kernel app as well. so 450 high/450 low would be max. i personally havent really noticed a difference setting it to 450/450 or letting it scale.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I think many higher end phone's GPU's scale nowadays. The S3 had (3 or) 4 steps. Some kernels added a (4th or) 5th step that overclocked. In theory, we could add an additional step, perhaps 533MHz and there you may indeed notice a difference. But as yet, this isn't available

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarRaven:
Yeah, it does in AK kernels, set it with an app like trickster or KControl.

One kernel allowed it to go to 487, though I think it was diminishing returns after 450.

I say this as I'm using AK 309 on my n4, and GPU speed is selectable.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
speed is selectable on most n4 kernels, but it doesnt scale(go up and down automatically, when needed). trinity on the n4 uses 487mhz as default. on the nexus 5 it goes up and down automatically, it scales. we can control both highest and lowest speed. on the n4, we just set the top speed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Komodo Rogue:
Unlike the CPU, with which we can achieve a stable OC, it seems the GPU is often less stable and less beneficial... On my N4, I used franko kernel, and he refused to do a GPU OC. I seem to recall a concern from franko that it would mess with stability, but I could be remembering incorrectly; maybe he just wasn't interested in the GPU. I tried an alternate kernel that had a higher GPU max frequency, and to be honest I didn't really notice a difference. Underclocking the GPU was evident, though, which is why I thought a GPU OC would help speed things up. Maybe there's a bottleneck somewhere else after 450mhz?

FWIW, I was primarily gaming with emulators, which may lean on the CPU more heavily than native android games.

On my N10, someone made a mod to make the resolution 1024x800, which helped some games. Maybe something similar could be done with the N5. On most emulators, anything beyond 480 is unnecessary anyway.

I was on an Xperia L fan page on FB & noticed a post mentioning that the Xperia L had a special type of glass. I did some research & checked the white paper & discovered that the L has "Schott 2nd source" glass which turns out to be darn good stuff. Schott is a German company which provides various products/services including toughened glass overlay. It is often competing with Corning to provide better product e.g. the toughened glass.

This is a question to all devs who understand the underlying system far better than I.

If I can move to another type of non samsung rom and take wifi calling with me how can this be done or is it a feature that will have to be added to source and recompile?

Thanks so much everyone maybe if there is no way to do it now maybe we as a community can find a way to do this and bring it to other devices that do not have this type of feature.
