[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koganpiek:
Hi everybody,

I have the following problem I dropped my Acer Iconia A200 and now the screen is broken. I can still control the device with a mouse through the USB-port. The problem is that the screen is generating random touches (without me touching the screen) this makes controling the device very difficult.

My question is....

Does anyone know an app to disable the touchscreen but leaving the mouse input option enabled.

If this does not fix the issue is there a software tweak I could preform to disable the touchscreen

Many thanx in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheOddPerson:
*Bump*

I would also like to know of anyway to disable the touch screen leaving mouse input active for the same exact reason.

Nexus 7 2013 Kitkat 4.4

Broken digitizer causes random touches when tablet is handled, mouse connected works great.

touch disable apps I've tried from the play store also disable mouse input.

Thank you for any knowledge anyone might know.

steps:

root your device

install a superuser supported shell (ie shell terminal)

since 'listevents' didn't work on my device

browse to dev/input

systematically delete each input/event and try the touchscreen (not mouse of course)

found out my touchscreen was event0

events will be recreated automatically on reboot, so don't have to worry about screwing anything up

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justyn86:
Using CM11 snapshot january update

I woke up late last night to see my phone still with the yellow charging light on while it was on the charger. i found that odd since it had been on the charger for almost 4 hours. i went to bed with it at 75% and when i went to the battery page it was at 50%. wierd thing is the graph says "3hr and 50 min on battery" but the line graph shows that its is, in fact, charging. another thing ive noticed is that the wifi line graph is solid, im not 100% sure its supposed to be intermittent, i.e. phone is sleeping and what not.

once i noticed that it was still discharging i looked at running apps, nothing outside what anyone else would have running at the end of the night. after i cleared the running apps it started charging again.

i know that i may have answered my own question at the end of the second paragraph but chargers put out more power than a phone can consume while being dormant so im trying to isolate a handful of things.

1. is the wifi line graph supposed to be solid all the time? (I didnt think so but)

2. is the rom im using (cm11 snapshot current update) on an outdated kernel?

3. whatever else that can brainstormed

and before i get a but of wrong forum reply's, i dont have a choice i need my 10 reply's to get this into the correct forum..... unless admin moves it into a developer forum....eh...eh?

thanks for any help you guys can provide.

solid wifi line.. go to the phones main settings, wifi, wifi settings(3 dots bottom right), advanced, disable scanning always available.

cm uses cm kernel. outdated is when a kernel is no longer good, a lower kernel number doesnt mean anything.

and this kind of post have no business being in development, no mod would ever even consider moving it there. development is for development, not questions that are very basic. you actually got the right forum.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:

Good deal. Thanks guys.

I know I could put any ROM on a phone I used to have an s4 and did several ROMs with that. Then I had to send it in and they gave me one that was mf3 and I was just tired of jumping through hoops. But I put cm on mine because I getting away from full service and using strictly Google voice on a data only plan for cheaper service (Att is the best service overall where i am but their no contract sucks), and cm, so far, is the only one that has voice plus to integrate gv SMS into you native SMS app. That's my big thing. But if there's other ROMs at utilize voice+ I'm open to them.

I don't see you mention which charger you used. Wired? Stock charger and cable? The WiFi bar will be solid over night with your WiFi on and never intermittent.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justyn86:
Yea after I was told to look at the WiFi settings, I changed some settings. But yes Its wired. I played around with the cable and it wiggles a bit but I didn't notice it disconnecting but I'll do More investigating on that front over the next few days.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Wiggle won't effect charge speed. Using a different adapter or cable then what came with your phone will effect charging speed however as well as the phone's current draw.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justyn86:
Well yea right. What I meant to say was that I may not be getting a solid connection, and if I had it sitting a certain way, it may not be charging at all, making appear as though the battery was draining "while charging" when it actually wasn't even charging. My biggest thing was that this is the first I've noticed it so. Maybe the cable is just crappy and is giving out. ( not the OE cable)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Most likely it's just the cable then. You may be interested in the contents of this thread including a quick comparison video Bacon made.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DvDwx.:
Guys .. I'm trying to develop my own rom based on Stock Acro S (JB .96) however there are many tutorials that are not giving a good development base for me, because there tutorials for ICS and JB using different tools and OS ...

I already developed my own kernel (not unlike the Stock Cabatro's .96) because I cant founding something concrete also talking about adding the governors / schedulers and modifying the frequency tables ... (I need help on this too)

In general wish someone would give me a faithful way forward to make the Beta ROM (Stock .96) and Kernel version modified to provide to users on forum for testing...

Any help on this would be great

(I Can Develop that on Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 8.1)

Hi there

I have got an mpeg on my XDAIIs which is 4MB in size, however my XDA wont let me set that file type as my ringtone.

To get round this I downloaded a converter and converted the format to WAV, I can now select it as my ringtone, however it has increased in size to 35MB!!!!

This is taking up my memory and causing my XDA to run slow, I only have 3MB spare left to run programs

Can I enable my XDA to set Mpegs as my ringtone, or can I direct my XDA to allow ringtones from another location than windows/phone, i.e on my storage card?

Kind Regards

Tim
[General Topics] xanth:
No offence intended, but how long exactly is this "Ringtone" you're trying to play?

A WAV file of 35Mb? Assuming that's CD quality that's 44.1KHz, 16 bit sound and stereo so that's 172Kb/second and so a 35Mb file so that means it's about 208 seconds long? (over 3 minutes). (And that's assuming it's not compressed at all!)

Forgive me as I have no idea how your device is set up, but most peoples voice mail activates before 20 seconds (and you loose a few seconds while it finds the phone/activates the ring as well) so in my personal opinion I think your solution is to edit the WAV file for the 25 seconds (max) that you actually want to hear.

Also you could lower the quality too. The XDA IIs only has one speaker so only needs mono (instantly halving the filesize) and 8bit instead of 16bit would halve it again and I don't think you'd notice any difference over the IIs's speaker (would have to experiment). Finally I think you would likely be able to get away with 22KHz as well (maybe even 11KHz!) for the quality thus more savings with minimal quality loss and smaller file size.

25 second WAV file at 22KHz = 22Kb/second (bit of a saving on 172Kb/second!) and 25 seconds of it would only make the total file 473Kb. At 11KHz/s that'd be only 236Kb. Ideally you could use a WAV codec like ADPCM and get the filesize down even more, but I have no idea if the IIs supports that, never tried it.

The final option is to MP3 it (I think this is probably what you meant by MPEG, but MPEG and MPEG-3 (MP3) are two completely different formats). You need a newer ROM for MP3 support and I *think* it's slightly slower to play an MP3 ring tone instead of a WAV, but just giving you as many options as I can think of. But if you MP3'd a 25 second WAV file... it'd slaughter the file size :D

Hope that's some help and that my maths are right! I'm sure someone will chime in if they're not! :D
[General Topics] hanmin:
Not much help here.. but I would suggest you to have your mp3 converted to wav and trimmed to less than 30 seconds will do. I mean, there isn't a real need for a long ring tones if you are doing to pick up your phone anyway.

Hypothetically speaking, if you had an old phone with a dead battery and for whatever reason were unable to replace it. Could you run the phone exclusively off of a battery pack for games and music?

Didn't get you.

Can you elaborate more?
[General Questions and Answers] Big4570:
Sorry about that. I ment using a portable battery back as the only source of power too a phone that's battery no longer holds a charge.
[General Questions and Answers] chan.sk:
Most likely it will work. I had tried using a phone plugged to the charger, but with the battery taken out. A battery pack is just another power source like a charger. However, if you want to be doubly sure, you could:

a. borrow a battery pack from a friend and try.

b. bring the phone to a shop that sells battery packs, tell the sales person that you would like to test before you buy.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jbplumbing.ca:
I am wondering if anyone has had this issue. I want to dual boot with the Devil Kernel. So I downloaded the Recovery and flashed it in TWRP, and flash the devil Kernel. Then when i try to make the second rom partition it does not show any progress and quickly goes back to the main menu in the recovery. If I try to flash anything to the second partition it does the same thing just flashes a black screen real quick and goes back to main menu with out installing anything. If I reboot and go into es explorer I can see that it has made a new Data 1 folder but it is empty. If I go back into recover and make another partition, then there is a Data2 folder. but I can't flash a second rom. I have even tryed to flash a rom in the primary and the same thing happened. I am sure I just have not read something correctly, but I have tryed it several times. For now I just reflashed TWRP and reflashed a nandroid. Any thoughts on what I am not doing right?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
I know most people are probably still using either 4.3 or maybe even 4.1.2 but for any of you who are using KitKat, have you tried using ART runtime for any length of time? If you have, have you seen any benefits and/or negatives? I know there are going to be apps that don't work well with it but haven't been brave enough to try it for myself yet.

Over on the Nexus 7 forums there are people who are claiming using ART is getting them a few extra hours worth of use, I wonder if that will translate to our S3?

I also don't know enough about it yet to know if there are any potential negatives to trying it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crespi_:
You don't really need a new thread for this. There is tons of information out there, much on these forums that will tell you everything you want to know about ART.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
^^^^^^ +1
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
Crespo,

OK. Let me rephrase, I'm not asking about art in general. I know there are a lot of sources explaining it but I've searched and haven't found anything specific to my t999 tmo s3. In reading threads of specific devices it seems like the results are device specific, that's the reason I made the thread. If the only thing you have to say is 'why did you make this thread' then why bother responding at all?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
I've tried it with my s3 and I felt it was more responsive and smooth in doing specific tasks comparing it to dalvik, but I never run aosp/cm too long to test the battery usage between the two
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
If you want to see performance of ART on T999, Flash a 4.4.x rom and see for yourself.

Personally, what [MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION] said is good enough for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crespi_:
Alright I'll admit, you're right.

Thus, in that case. What I have to say now is: why don't you just try ART for yourself and see if you like it. How hard is that?

Also, to be 100% honest, the main reason I posted here is because I'm finally sick of not being able to post in the dev forums - this is my 10th post. Hallelujah.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
I hear what you're saying about the low post count, not great to only read and not respond.

As for trying it myself, I did after posting this and I don't know if its my phone or the rom I'm using but when I selected art and it rebooted it went through the boot animation and then stayed on a black screen. I don't know if I didn't wait long enough or what happened. On my nexus it reboots and then takes a long time to optimize the apps but it never rebooted to a blank screen. I'm not trying it again so I guess in the end this really was a pointless thread. Maybe when google gets to android 5.0 it'll be working.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crespi_:
With all the searching you claimed to have done, how'd you not come across any literature that states you need the correct version of gapps for ART to work? :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I am sorry you had issues. I use SlimKat with KT747 Kernel. I had no issues switching back and forth until cows come home. (Yeah gotta reboot each time.)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
Using pa gapps, same as I'm using with my nexus and they work fine. I'm using cyanfox rom so not sure if its the rom or my specific phone. You're new here but you really aren't helping much .
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crespi_:
"You're new here but you're not helping much?" Are new people supposed to be the biggest help? I don't get that one

But hey man don't be mad at me because YOU'RE the one who's been around the block, yet you make a thread that is basically the same as someone making a thread about nightlies just to complain that it's broken.

I guess I should say to you: you've been here a while but YOU aren't helping much.

See that would make sense because someone who's been here a while knows better than to make a thread for a silly question like this. That's all I'm saying.

But anyway. Good luck with all that. Wish I could help but I'm new here guys.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bman3k:
Is there a version of a CM based ROM newer than Android 4.1.2 that has the same type of quick settings ribbon that CM 10.0.0 has? I prefer the older version of the quick settings ribbon, specifically, I really like being able to change the brightness between customizable brightness levels at the touch of a button. As opposed to pressing the button, then having to move the brightness bar.

To clarify:

In CM 10.0.0, you can have various toggle buttons (wifi, mobile data, brightness etc) show up on a quick settings ribbon in the notification drawer. Pressing these toggles them on off or between settings. For brightness you can have multiple toggles set for different levels of brightness (0-100%) and these are toggled between by just pressing the button.

In newer versions of CM the brightness toggle in the quick settings ribbon is changed so that if you press it the brightness slider shows up and you toggle it that way, this adds and extra step and is less convenient when in situations where the screen is too dark to see.

I’ve tried multiple versions of CM based ROMs, but all of them had the newer type of quick settings ribbon that I do not like. It is literally the only new feature that I don’t like. I want to update because I prefer the newer versions of the keyboard, clock, and various other settings.

Also slightly off topic: are newer versions ROMs better for battery life and/or performance? Or does is that generally not affected? Obviously if I am using more new features at once I will have less battery, but if I do the same old thing as before is it more efficient with my battery?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
As far as I know you're stuck with the newer style brightness setting on the newer versions of the ROM. I haven't flashed a recent version of CM but I'm pretty sure it has the status bar brightness slider option where you slide your finger horizontally along the status bar to adjust the brightness. That's only one step total to adjust your brightness.

Battery performance has been improved on later versions of most ROMs.

I also tried an experiment : I enabled the little widget (in clean master) which show the percentage of RAM used in real time, then I opened a game (dear hunter 2014).

After 1 minute in the game, the percentage of RAM used (if the information of clean master is exact) was 67% and suddenly, the widget disappeared : I think all the app in background had been closed. So why? It shouldn't happend because a lot of RAM was free.

And finally, even with all app in background killed, after 2/3 minutes, I have a FC in the game...

So if someone has an idea/theory about what happen with RAM management, I would be very happy to know!
