Hi :)

I'm starting to programm android's app , I'm attending a course and in this course the professor recomment us to install the JDK version 6 . On the oracle's site I have seen that there is JDK version 7.

I have read that there are incompatibilities between Android platform and JDK 7, is still true ?

Thanks to all :)

EDIT :

I'm back , because I've problem with the emulator..

I downloaded the ADT BUNDLE for 64bit, I unzipped the file and a Try to use it . At the beginning I had no problems, but when I try to use the emulator the first problems appeared : the emulator is too slow .. :/

My notebook has :

intel core i5

4gb ram

hard disk 5400rpm :/

window 8

What can I do for speed up the emulator ? I read of HAXM on intel forum, can it resolve my problem ?

thanks

You need to install JDK 6 for Android app development ..

You can download the JDK here : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html

mmm ok,

I asked because on my pc I have installed jdk 7 ,but then I will install the previous version :)

Thanks :D

The bottle neck is the ram ? 4gb ram is not enough for the emulator 64bit on window 8 ?

4Gbytes will do ok, but there will be times when you'll have to economize on the simultaneous running applications.

The emulator is what it is. Some of the system images are buggy, worse than others. I have 4.1.2 images that perform reasonably well, with OpenGL ES 2.

HAXM is a way of running the x86 system images in Windows (there's another means of doing that within Linux). This is sometimes significant because not all application development is able to target x86 builds of Android. If you're sticking to Java, though, it should be no problem, and yes, the x86 images are much faster.

You don't have enough RAM for genymotion and development - though with a tight squeeze that might work. Genymotion uses Virtual Box to run Android inside a VM. It's an x86 build - may be SLIGHTLY better than the x86 emulator images, but I've not had a problem with the emulator generally.

All that said, you really need to consider a device. There's nothing quite like debugging on a real device. Used Kindle Fire first generation makes a good purchase (it will be used). The hardware is fairly standard - not impressive. However, it's 2.3.3 Android is great for low end target testing (as in, compatible with early devices). Further, there are custom ROM builds for the device (and it's not locked), so you can install Android 4.4 on it - test as if it were a brand new device with the latest OS.

Many would likely frown at a Kindle, but frankly it's a good overall device for debugging at the likely price point you'll find. You'll need to purchase a USB cable for it, but otherwise its a good solution.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] aeroxr1:
Yes I have a galaxy nexus and with it I haven't any problems , but the virtual emulator is also slow to start ... boh !

maybe is 4.4 image fault !
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] svdree:
A Galaxy Nexus should be nice dev phone. I'm using devices for practically all my development, and only use the emulator for testing compatibilty with other OS versions. Not only is working with a device quick, but it also allows you to judge what your app 'feels' like on an actual device, which is something that tends to be overlooked easily in the whole emulator/device debate.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] Hero746:
Wouldn't you need a multitude of devices to test on? Isn't there a possibility that what might work on Galaxy Note 3 for example may not work for all devices.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] Jarmezrocks:
Check out Jar of Beans on the forums here ;)

I built a performanced enhanced version of the Jar of Beans application (which is an improved Android emulator) that completely loads the Android virtual machine and associated binary files into a dedicated RAM disk on my Windows 7 64Bit dev machine running 4GB of RAM and Core Duo Quadcore.

All I can say is that performance is out of this world! Will wooop the arse off any phone I know of lol

Anyway, just a suggestion...try it out. If you are any good with AutoIT code I can share you my sources for additional performance boosting you r Android avd
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] mrsegev:
I use genymotion as a device emulator. I highly recommend it. Very easy to setup and works great with Eclipse IDE.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] en4bz:
Since you have a newer Intel chip it should come with HAXM support. After setting up HAXM you need download the x86 emulator images. Creating an AVD with an x86 image and HAXM setup properly should make the emulator run faster than an actual phone. Just search the android developer pages on how to set it up based on your dev enviroment. There are drivers that can be installed through the SDK manager in the extra section if you're using windows.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] protoc0l:
+1, the intel HAXM is better than the default ARM-7 emulator, but the Genymotion is the fastest one I've tried.

Genemotion > Intel HaxM > Arm-7

I was getting a lot of stuttering and frame drops using the HAXM, but with Genemotion, completely smooth and fast on my i5 with 6GB. There's plug-ins for use with Android Studio.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] robi91:
Genymotion is the best emulator, work perfectly

[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] Manikanta Hari:
Use bluestacks

we all know that the emulator is very laggy,thats why i use blue stacks for testing apps !
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] hacyvir:
Emu help

man you can use Bluestacks app player .. its so fast and secondly if you have an android phone you can use usb debugging !

The only thing is that if you want to check your apps on different devices you have to have the standard provided emulator !!
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] Gagan3019:
Use genymotion only.

I have never seen people using Android emulator now days.It is very slow.

Instead go for Genymotion as it is virtual box based solution and works very fast.Sometime faster than device;)

I have been using it on my windows machine , some times it crashes when high resolution device image is created. But I guess it is not very frequent.So save your time using Genymotion.

Thanks,

The original emulator is painfully slow, try using BlueStacks.

Since I'm not allowed to post a reply in Xperia SP Original Android Development, i'll just post my rooting report here. This report relates to DooMLoRD's rooting toolkit post:

I was having the same problem, but as soon as I changed "USB connection mode" from "Media transfer mode" to "Mass storage mode", it went fine. Although I had to run the toolkit twice to get it properly rooted.

Admins could perhaps move it to DooMLoRD's thread? ...or just ignore it, but please don't delete it, as it might actually help someone.

I haven't got a Wizard of any variant but this 'wipeout' did happen to me recently on my MDA Compact (JAM).

I had a 2GB miniSD in there- was working fine for about 2 months and one I day I noticed that I couldnt run any applications stored on the card. Checked the card contents and everything had wiped (including my backup) except a few files.

Still not sure exactly what caused it- the only thing i remember doing was updating the 'PocketRSS' database (which coincendently was one of the files remaining after the wipe).

Still using the same card now and its working fine :P

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lvlolvlo:
The reason why this happens is simple....

The device was accessing that card and for some reason either you pulled it out or it thinks the card was pulled out. In doing so it "blanks" out the SD card. So long as you don't format the sucker you can recover majority (if not all of your data). There's a few free ones and a few pay ones....

Free:

File Reovery

Smart Reovery - Does Pictures Only

Pay:

F-Recover - Does Pictures Only

RescuePRO
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sh500:
Yes, some of these recovery programs work quite well; I remember using one to recover a friends CF card contents- recovered the majority of data.

I was lucky enough to have my entire 2GB card contents on my PC (transferring from SD to miniSD), so I didn't bother investigating the problem.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] i4iex:
Hi

I want ask about performance with v4.1.2 versus v4.2.2 (any rom)

i tested some roms in my phone and i noticed that exist difficult in performance in some games ( and some fps skipped in videos that almost not noticed, and others bugs minors of every rom ) using 4.2.2 (CM in my case) versus others roms based in 4.1.2 or stock roms

and is strange because the v4.2.2 using less ram and is most fluid that 4.1.2 but the performance in benchmarks and games is minor.

In the 4.1.2 the consumption of ram is more high, but the games runs with better fps

why is due this?? Drivers??

Thanks!

Hello there,

I may be new to this forum but I have plenty of experience playing about with computer and phone workings and have long had my Galaxy Ace routed and have had a number of custom ROM's installed over time. However, today, while upgrading my Galaxy Ace to 4.4, the phone failed to install it saying "Installation aborted" (status: 7). I have restored the original ROM and all that rubbish but when I went to reboot, it has bricked :crying: on the Galaxy Ace name screen....HELP! :eek:

I use my phone for everything and any help on how to sort this would be greatly appreciated. :)

Thank you in advance.

Don't worry, you can use Odin to flash a fresh Stock rom or try to do via CWM; wipe data/factory, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik-cache and finally, restore your last functional backup. It should work ;)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam-X-:
Hi!

First of all, to give you some infos: I am runing the latest nightly CM11 on my LG G Pad 8.3 V500 and have the latest TWRP installed.

I was experimenting with a stupid app called LCDDensity for root (I am a noob and should not have done that) and it caused my G Pad to be stuck in a bootloop. I was able to boot into TWRP and the first thing I did was to make a complete backup. I then tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache but the device was still stuck in the bootloop. This was the point were I did not know what elso to do and so I wiped everything and installed the latest nightly (I was running a previous version when the bootloop happend). Everything is working again and I am on the latest version now, but all my data is gone of course.

My Questions are:

If I restore the backup I made when the device was stuck in the bootloop, will this then cause a bootloop again, or can I savely restore the backup? I don't know if that makes any sense, but I am afraid to restore corrupt data somehow.

Second Qustion is a noob question out of couriosity: What else could I have done to get the device to boot up again?

Thanks for your help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
What I would do if I were you

Wipe all

Restore nandroid of bootlooping ROM

Wipe cache + dalvik

Flash the same ROM on top of this nandroid

Reboot

Should easily fix your density issue

May even be able to just flash kernel (as opposed to whole ROM)

If this were me, chances are this app just changes build.prop to change dpi

So I would boot to recovery

adb pull the build.prop and edit it back to normal then push it back and change permissions and then reboot

Future reference

Noob mistakes happen to all at some point, experimenting is good, just always make a nandroid first!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinka94:
Hello,

I kinda have the same issue. I downloaded SuperSU while on CM13. And when I installed it it went into TWRP and after the installation there was the bootloop. I made a backup (while in bootloop) and I don't want to make a factory reset.

It's been a long time since I've done a backup (except the one in bootloop) so I can't restore.

Can I fix this with the adb (which I don't know how to use it) or can I make a factory reset then restore the backup or will it go into bootloop again ?

I'm using Samsung Galaxy s3 i747 d2att....just flashed "[ROM][KERNEL][4.4.2/4.3] Quantum v3.21 & QuantumKernel 1/16". In the about phone settings is the option to update CM nightlies, same as a normal rom from the CM nightly does. This option seems to work as it does bring up available CM nightly roms for download. This Quantum rom is CM based. My question is "should I attempt to install a different CM nightly on this modded rom"? Do you think this option was just left in by mistake by the developer? My instinct tells me not to try it, but I'm not sure if this is an actual update option for the rom. I would ask this in the rom developement section but I am limited by posting rules. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Threezees:
I don't use Quantum anymore, but I think that's just left in there because it's essentially CM but with tweaks and optimizations. I could be wrong, but if you want Pwn's work, don't use CM's updater.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cybrgeek 45:
Thanks for your quick response. That's pretty much what I thought would be the answer, but I did see, in at least one instance, where he advised someone to flash to an earlier CM nightly to try to correct a problem. Thought that maybe that was kind of a standard procedure with CM based roms, & they could continue to be updated with nightlies without losing the tweaks. Thanks again for response!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Froogloops:
So randomly my brother's Galaxy S3 stopped recognizing receiving power from the battery. He thought maybe the battery was dead but we've tested with my battery (fully charge) and nothing happens. When plugged in with a full charged battery it shows the battery level indicator screen with an empty battery. Any ideas? Have flashed phone back to full stock just in case that was causing issues.

EDIT: Realized the battery is recognized but phone is not getting any power from it. With battery in I can boot into download mode. Without battery in I cannot boot into download mode.

Also re-unlocked bootloader, flashed an old version of CWM and cleared battery stats. No dice.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Option58:
Hello, I'm 16 years old and I would love to buy a new device. I would like to buy V, only I am unsure about it's screen size.

I am a tech geek :D and I certainly appreciate bigger screens and plan to play some games on it and surf a lot but not watch videos.

Also, it must be small enough to go to school and rest.

I am worried if 4.3 inch is too small.

Do you think your Xperia V has small screen? Please post your thoughts.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I was always annoyed about my HTC Desire's small display before buying my XV. However, I have never wanted a huge 5 inch display, as it is simply too big imo.

The Xperia V was the compromise I was looking for: Small enough to easily fit into my pocket, yet still having a sufficient resolution for gaming and web browsing. Actually, in the 6 months that I've been having this phone now, I've never found a reason to say that my display is too small for any purpose.

So, i think buying the phone was definitely the right decision.. Go for the XV if you like it! ;)

Just one more thing.. If you're doing a lot of games (and I know, school days can be long! ;D) have a look at the Xperia SP as well.. Has nearly double battery life compared to the XV, at otherwise pretty similar specifications.. ^^
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
I think screen size is only one criteria. Others are pixel density, trueness to real colours, and contrast (readability in daylight). Don't look at factory pics or factory home screen setup. These are optimised to make that particular phone look good.

The V screen has a good pixel density, but is not that good in terms of light leakage and viewing angle.

Depending on hand size, you might perceive a screen of 4.7 or 5 inches even as inconvenient. You may not be able to reach certain functions in one go or with one hand anymore.
