[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeggyBosh:
I searched XDA and Google like crazy before finally deciding to post this thread. I can find things that seem similar, but not at the same time. If I missed something, please point me in the right direction..

Most of what I'm reading recommends a different launcher to help with the lag of the stock launcher. I do not have an issue with a laggy stock launcher. Instead I'm having issues with EVERY other launcher I have tried, and believe me I'm pretty sure I've almost tried all of them.

After a few minutes of playing around on my G2, when I hit the home button, or just back all the way out to it, my home screen seems to jump around and my wallpaper appears to resize itself a few times. The soft keys will appear, disappear, and reappear again causing the whole screen to make a kind of up/down shuffle. It also does this when turning on the screen.

It's more annoying than an actual problem, I could just stick with the stock launcher, but I'm not a fan of the icons/folders. I'm not sure if this is the home screen redraw I keep seeing people talk about or what. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Right now I'm using Apex and have it set to stay in memory. Thought that might help, but no.

How could i keep GPS turn ON even if the user disable it manually?

Any trick or ideas? Could be for any device, rooted , busybox, etc.

I just need an idea of how i could keep the gps always on. It is for tracking purpose of employees. Sometimes they turn location off manually, and i could not monitor their location.

Any apk or application ready for this? Please PM me or post below. Any trick is ok, xpose modifications, rooted modifications, etc, but it must work, thats the idea.

Devices: Usually new ones 4.x OS

Waiting your feedback experts!
[Java for Android App Development] SimplicityApks:
You could create a service with a BroadcastReceiver which listens for any change in the GPS setting and then re-enables the GPS. That could work without root though I'm not sure if such a Broadcast exists.

The other option would be to use xposed and hook the method which sets the GPS in the settings.
[Java for Android App Development] droopyar:
Thanks for your reply.

Is there any developper here that could do this apk for me? or the xposed module to do this? (obviously paid development).

PM me so we get in contact.

[Java for Android App Development] thenobol:
let me try :D

.... would need about a day or 2 ;)
[Java for Android App Development] droopyar:
Excellent, you could contact me by PM to arrange the development and the payment.

Remember that the idea is to have gps always on. Even if the user manually unclick it on the menu bar, it is reactivated again internally.

Its kinda cute in that its a direct rip design wise of the mac pro. Its not going to be likely sold outside China or in a wide release. So it'll probally be a geekbuying purchase for anyone who cares but it's go to sell for roughly $120 and has pretty much the exact same specs as the mojo. However it'll probally won't have the play store issue with not being able to download apps. In my experience with Chinese products they usually have a lot of glitches. Both of my minix neo x5's have plenty of software and hardware issues that make using them an adventure. but who knows this could be interesting. Exciting to see this market growing.

Only has 1 usb port though so that's a meh.
[M.O.J.O. General] jjprichards:
Yea, and only bt 3.0, and no sd card slot. Gah.
[M.O.J.O. General] gwaldo:
What about the vyper?

Interesting idea

"It’s actually a 7-inch tablet with a dock, so you’re really just streaming games to your TV via the tablet. That tablet has a 1280 x 800 resolution, 1GB RAM, and 8GB Memory. A 5MP rear shooter compliments a 2MP front camera, and a 1.6GHz quad-core processor keeps it all humming."

$250 with controller or $200 without.. I think it's really under spec'd

[M.O.J.O. General] dheku-00:
[MENTION=5535056]jjprichards[/MENTION] Whoa, didn't even notice that it didn't have an SD card. Well I guess their saving money where they can and there's a number of reasons why its only 120$. But ouch.

[MENTION=5638480]gwaldo[/MENTION], I'm always worried about tablet dock type setups for a tv gaming system, if only because the question arises on how the internal battery is being dealt with. If its always charging you're basically destroying it constantly, however if when its docked the battery stops getting used entirely it could be a pretty good product. Yea you're right a little overpriced for the specs. Quad Core specs are always weird like if its the same cpu as the x7 then the gpu is pretty meh, its the same one in the Samsung GS2.
[M.O.J.O. General] jjprichards:
At this point, I think its best to just wait for the tegra k1 shield 2, or micro-console.

[M.O.J.O. General] solsearch:
It does have a microSD slot, it's ust in the bottom of the device (checkout engadget's pics for confirmation). But according to what engadget says it might (like I said, might) be facing some of the same play store limitations as the MOJO.

On the upside it has two clear advantages over the MOJO that I can see:

1) the ability to choose 16 OR 32GB of internal storage. As anyone with lots of games and heavy apps on an android device can tell you, 16GB is sometimes not enough (especially if you take into consideration that you only have about 12 or 25GB available to the end user since the same memory is used for the OS).

2) the controller has a headset jack so you can use it to listen to the audio (and to have conversations from what I could garner from the pics). I'm sorry, but the audiojack on the MOJO is not for headsets, even if it has mic support. The whole idea of the MOJO and devices like it, along with wireless controllers is the ability to sit more than three feet away from the console. If you're using the headphone/headset jack on the mojo you are a)not wireless, b)limited to 3 feet distance from the controller unless you buy a compatible extension cable (which from what I've seen never have mic support, only stereo).

The main things which will matter are

a) when will it become available

B) what version of android will it have

C) will it properly support external storage devices

D) What kind of Play store access will it actually have

Because generally I can live with the difference between BT3.0 and 4.0 (though I obviously prefer 4.0, it's not enough to sway my decision).

Honestly, I wish someone would comeo out with a device like these a top tier Qualcomm processor. Even if it meant losing access to Tegra exclusive/optimized games. They have a better video block and generally have better performance. But I know that if the device is positioned as a primarily gaming device and they are going for something better than a budget SoC, it will be a Tegra for the reasons I mentioned earlier.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Guys, this is an update to my old program VJSmallIcons. To say it's long overdue is an understatement :)

This version retains and persists settings between folders. It can also make the Programs launcher fullscreen. When you go fullscreen, there is a menu option to permit navigation back up to the previous folder.

On a whim, for no good reason at all, I've also implemented my interpretation of the Vista View Mode slider, as seen here in Vista.

The slider can be used to toggle modes. Even if you don't need the app, try the slider! I quite like it :wink: Hopefully you'll see this again in VJSihaya.

Normal Mode

Fullscreen Mode

Available on my website!

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZeBoxx:
nice :) unlike the first one, this one works on my device %)

the slider's a bit silly, I suppose, but kinda cute :)

( are you supposed to be able to drag it? only seems to respond to taps )

However... I just got stuck in a subdir :x VJSmallIconsII disappeared, and tapping 'OK' (which normally goes a dir up) did nothing. Not sure what I did to get in that state. Edit: Found it, check follow-up posts

and a suggestion... the 'go up one level' bit, perhaps it should carry the name of the level above, instead of the current level?

bug report.. if you run it twice, you will seemingly just be using VJSmallIconsII as normal. But changing any of the modes does nothing. If you exit it, it becomes apparent that you were already running it a copy of it - as that instance with its view (which changes correctly) is still there.

btw - nice UI :) (not sarcasm.. it really is nice!)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZeBoxx:
whewps.. now it locked up my device >_< I'll try and repro
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZeBoxx:
yay repro :)

I have PHM PPC Powertoys installed, so I have a dir structure...

"\Program Files\PHM Tools\PHM PPC Powertoys\"

from a fresh boot:

1. Start > Programs (required first-run)

2. Start > VJSmallIconsII (in program history, still)

3. Start > Programs > PHM Tools > PHM PPC Powertoys

4. Tap VJSmallIconsII floater

result: floater disappears

expected result: pop up menu should appear

at this pont everything still seems fine - you can navigate around, etc.

5. Tap OK button

result: nothing happens, you're stuck at this level

expected result: should go up a level

-----

With MagicButton running - Steps 1-4

5. Tap (MagicButton) OK button

result: device locks up

expected result: should go up a level

-----

I don't know if it's the length of the folder name, or the fact that there's two spaces, or... etc. Can't keep poking at it right now
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
ZeBoxx: Many thanks.

I'll look into the hang. That's not when you're running it twice is it?

It's hanging because it's subclassing the Programs screen, and if for some reason VJSmallIconsII crashes, it'll take the Programs screen down with it.

It does contain code to detect multiple instances, but it occurs to me that because of the way the window is created it's probably not being detected. I didn't contemplate it being run twice :) I'll fix that!

Yes, slider responds to taps not sliding :wink: Not sure if I'll fix that! At least for now, it's just GUI...

The folder name - good idea, although it's basically for showing what the current folder name is, if you've got it in fullscreen mode and can't see for yourself. I don't mind incorporating either way, whichever you guys think is most logical.

Bug is confirmed with PHM (I have a similar folder structure). I'll look into it when I get home.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZeBoxx:
you're welcome :)

Probably doesn't matter - the hang is just when using MagicButton, so I suspect it's because it's using a different method to 'close' the window?

oops ;)

yay :D

*nod*

Yeah, I figured that it was for full-screen mode mostly :)

you've got my thought :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ward:
I'm getting a 404 error on the cab file from your site.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
I've disabled it for now, because of the bug, until I can get home.

If you still want to give it a go:-

http://www.vijay555.com/vj/Releases/VJSmallIconsII/!VJSmallIconsII.cab

Just be weary of folders with spaces in for now. Can't see why it's a problem until I see the code again :(

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZeBoxx:
Well, that's why I mentioned two spaces.. e.g. "PHM Tools" - if I'm in there, and I tap VJSmallIconsII - no problem. But once I'm in "PHM PPC Powertoys" - boink.

I'll give it a more thorough testing and report back

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Pooh, I think I remember now. I think I used a 16 char buffer for the folder name. Should be easy to fix. V gets his beautiful ass bitten by a buffer overflow... now to the XBOX 360 :)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
What os is this supposed to work with? I put it on my 2002 devices and no go. I don't like to try unfinished stuff on the newer phones that I actually use (as phone).

This is a bit off topic....

vijay555, your programs alway seem so slick. You obviously put a great deal of work into them. My question is, why spend so much time on programs that help the user interact with the device when the there is a lack of programs that provide real usefull functionality. I am not critisizing any of you projects, more just pointing at what I see as a lack of things to actually do with a ppc once you have it working.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] youmeus:
:( Hey unable to download this app from your site!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
OdeeanRDeathshead: not sure about 2002. It's been tested on Emulator, WM2003SE and WM5. I don't have any 2002 devices to test it on.

Either way, I'd suggest waiting about 45 mins so I can get the buffer overflow bug fixed.

Re the offtopic: I've got a lot of new stuff to write, but for me, I do a lot of playing around mainly as an offshoot of reading. For this app: I wanted to make an app to hide reminders. Thus I wanted an app to remodel the reminders. Thus I wanted to change the button style of the dismiss all button. As a result I thought I'd try the same on the Programs window. It was semi-useful (I never use Programs), so I released VJSmallIcons. I know one guy who used it - it's a small market :)

Next I'm working on VJToggleToday II. For that, I needed to make a subclassing routine. It was easier to debug that in VJSmallIcons II. So I wrote the subclasser as reusable code.

At the same time, I got interested in owner drawn menus for a TV Listings app I wrote on the PC in VB, which I want to move over to the PPC eventually:

So I experimented with owner drawn menus, and then for no good reason the slider.

So circling back, the subclasser will be re-used in VJToggleToday II, which is a useful app, and the slider will reappear in some form in VJSihaya.

I don't really have time to write "big" apps like a word processor etc. I write what interests or distracts me, or is otherwise being used for research. It's a hobby :) My stuff is mostly for my own use, or research, but some of it occassionaly might be useful to the wider world, which is why I release it publically. But there are a myriad of bugs and issues in the Phone OS which I like to address for my own use, eg why does it take so many clicks to start a new calendar entry? Why can't we add numbers to existing contacts? If it bothers me enough, I look into my own solutions, more as an academic exercise.

Phew, time for lunch :)

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Guys, I've put the new version, v2.01 back on my site. Fixes the crash on long folder names and prevents loading multiple instances.

V

PS I don't use magic button. Not sure why that would be any special case. Please report bugs as usual, with BIG BOLD LETTERS. Not really :wink:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZeBoxx:
yay!

I hope you didn't just increase the buffer to 32... /me makes a folder name of 32+

also yay :)

Works fine now :)

I highly suspect that, as the issue with regards to the long folder names bit taking down Programs is gone, is no longer an issue :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Guys,

I've posted a minor update to version v2.02 to fix a small bug where the vertical offset wasn't being taken into account correctly in fullscreen mode.

My audience of 1, ZeBoxx, might have noticed :)

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZeBoxx:
actually, you know I don't use the full screen option, so I wouldn't have ;) I noticed there was a new version, though - but haven't grabbed it yet. Busy, busy. I'd better grab it before I forget to do so, though
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
:) Don't worry, it's not going anywhere. I've thought about your idea, re showing text of previous folder, and it seems complicated. I think I have to keep an array of all visited folders, and then skip back.

However, certain actions cause the program manager to jump to other folders unexpectedly (eg losing focus then grabbing it again), throwing off the array... I'm not sure if I'm over thinking this, but it might be more effort then it's worth :(

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZeBoxx:
Yeah, I figured it wouldn't be easy ;)

Curious though - can you 'get at' the files being displayed? (if any) If so, you should be able to grab their absolute location, and derive from there, no?

It's by no means a biggie, I'm using it all the same %)

Coming from 10.1.3, had TWRP 2.6.0.0 emmc installed, wanted to use a newer recovery to flash 10.2 because I thought it would offer better compatibility(?). Flashed the ovation-6.zip from the CM 11 thread. Now when I try to flash the latest CM 10.2 nightly (20140108) I'm getting assert buildprop errors. Attempting to edit the updater-script then leads to updater binary errors. Attempting to flash an older recovery also reports an assert error. I ended up using the TWRP 2.6.0.0 BOOTFILES version to flash CWM v6036, then flashing CM 10.2 worked as it should. What is the issue here?

Hello,

I just installed v5.5 of HyperDrive thru SS. When I start it, I expect it to ask if I have a Google account so it can retrieve my old settings but it did not. I then clicked on the GMail app and it then asked if I had an account. I went ahead and entered my info. I would think that it would then start downloading all the apps I have on my stock rom but it did not! When I installed build 6 of Jelly Beans, it did download all my apps. Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
