I am looking to create a calendar app which would operate similar to the Google Calendar aside from some unique features I plan to put in. After some initial prototyping of a few of the layouts and research. I can't help but think the scope and time required for initially cloning the GC will significant.

This would be my first android application, am I approaching this correctly. Is this actually a one man project? Thanks in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArc:
[Just note, this is a question so it should've been posted in the Q&A section]

Yes this is a one man project, adding people to the project will just speed things up.

Firstly you'll need to run yourself through the Android Development section for critical info when creating applications.

If this is your first time working with Java then you're going to need some knowledge with quite a bit of statements.

Creating a calendar similar to GC isn't too hard and can be done quite well. In fact its a great "first" project.

Also I would suggest you create layouts first before you actually go into coding as that will build up a platform to work on.

You will be working with intents and Uri's allot as you would want your users to be able to set their own events.

Here is an official doc on Calendar Provider - http://goo.gl/8f1v3J Loads of great info on creating calendar.

All the best with your project, if you feel you are in a loop and need some help finding out errors and fixing them. Go to stackoverflow. The guys and gals there are very nice and respond quickly with fantastic answers.

Long story short usually first thing I do is root and rom my phones, but I recently got an HTC One off of swappa and loved it, didnt see a reason to root. I figured I would give dual-booting via multiboot a shot, so I HTC Dev unlocked it, rooted it, installed elemental kernel, and flashed CM11. Well CM11 wouldnt boot and I tinkered so I just figured I would cut my losses, so I followed the instructions to remove it which wiped my SD card. I was on linux, and couldn't get fastboot usb, just fastboot ac. So I hopped on a friends computer, Win8.1 and downloaded a special set of drivers and whatnot, got ADB and fastboot running. TWRP wasnt working very well, it wouldnt let me use ADB so I fastboot installed CWM. I managed to push cyanogenmod to it, but kept getting an error that wouldnt let me install it. So I figured next thing to do would be RUU it, and I got my version number and matched the CID and all that, it failed with an error 12. Both .exe and .zip give me the same error. Well not its 3am and I've been at it for 5 hours now, I dont know what to do. It seems like everything I try to do fails. Please give me some advice.

Your problems started at trying to install cm11 with elementalx kernel, that's a sense kernel and cm is not a sense Rom, so unlock your bootloader again and flash twrp 2.6.3.3 to your phone, push a sense Rom of your choice to the phone and flash it, I'm guessing the ruu isn't working as you can't back flash with s-on and you already have the newest os / firmware on your phone according to your hboot version

and dont forget, 4.4+ sense roms (i.e arhd) must be flashed using twrp 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 and newest CM11 roms must be flashed using twrp 2.7.1.1 because of the new fstab layout introduced May, 2014
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flapflip22:
Noted, just flased 2.6.3.3 and adb pushing a sense 6 rom. Kinda funny, 2.6.3.3 connects to adb on linux but no other recovery would. Granted it wont let me side-load but as long as I can push files I'm good. Just tested it by pushing a random zip file, all is good. Just gonna wait for it to finish downloading, adb push it and try to flash it. If all goes as well as I hope it should work. I'll let you guys know if I need more help.

Thank you so much.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
if you cant sideload its probably because you are using an outdated version of adb. latest version of adb is 1.0.31. however, you'll be fine using adb push.

you might want to wipe everything + format data then push the rom again and install it. Also check MD5 of the rom
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flapflip22:
It worked! Followed your instructions, then I used a CM 10.2 rom and a JB kernel and it worked just fine. Next I'm gonna s-off and superCID it so I wont have to go through any of this again, and then flash the ROM and kernel I want. Probably not gonna tinker anymore until later when the newest HTC sense release comes out.

Hey Guys,

I have a Android/WinCE Car Radio.

So I got Android on a SD Card and it booted well, but one day it stopped booting.

If I mount the SD from the internal Android on the device, there is a LOST.FOUND directory on the boot partition where boot.scr and so on is.

If I delete the directory and restart, the system boots from the SD again. But if I do a restart, the system won't boot again. I need to delete the LOST.FOUND directory every time...

I'll Attach the boot partition, maybe you can give me a solution to this.

Thanks :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Montaxx:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elkan1985:
Make sure your boot files in the root of the partition are ok.

Make a backup of the files, copy the files in the lost.found directory over the existing files or use the original one (firmware download from device supplier?)

And make sure you unmount the SDcard safe.

Good luck..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Montaxx:
THere are no files at the LOST.FOUND directory.

If I take a other SD and put the stock image on it, it's the same problem.
[Sprint LG G2] mtcellph:
Hello,

When I woke up a few moments ago I noticed that a system update icon was in my notification bar, which I assume is the new ZVD update and right now my phone is on ZVC and is stock rooted using ioroot25 and I have TWRP 2.7.0.0 AND download mode both working thanks to AutoRec and everything is working fine but it was a difficult getting to this point because I was one of the early adopters of the AutoRec method and I had to to go back to stock and re-tot my phone numerous times to get root, recovery, & download mode all 3 working on my phone without issue.

Now that the ZVD update is waiting to be downloaded on my phone I do not want to have to go through all this stuff again nor do I want to lose anything I have on my phone currently so I would like to ask what is the recommended / safest way to install this update so that I can keep root, recovery, and download mode all 3 and not lose any of my data at the same time ?

Of course, I want to also make sure that this does not mess up my phone like the white screen issue some people had when using AutoRec on the Sprint version of the G2 or other issues so what are my choices and thanks in advance for any and all replies.

MTCell
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
You won't be able to until they fix the update. Even just root will lock the system on the update.

Only safe way right now is to tot back to stock zvc, take the update. Root with ioroot25. If you want recovery, you can use auto-rec and then flash dorimax kernel. Which has the zvd knock code in it.
[Sprint LG G2] Robles23:
I also have a similar issue as the OP. I am currently rooted, stock rom. ZVD update has downloaded and is ready to install. However, what would be the nessesary steps to take prior to updating my phone? I dont care if I have to re-root again. I rooted me device using IOroot25. How can I unroot?

Thanks!
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
Supersu has the option to unroot permanently. Doing a full unroot. Weather the system accepts that, I'm not sure.
[Sprint LG G2] jlv3:
But, reflashing the ZVC tot will erase all data, correct?
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
Yes, complete everything. Data, pictures, documents, downloads.
[Sprint LG G2] krezee:
From what i understand , you will need a stock ZVC recovery and boot loader to apply the update. if you have any modification done in ROM (debloat/deleting/modifying system files) then the update might not complete.

So flash stock aboot(bootloader), recovery and kernel and then only apply the update.

TOT reflash is too cumbersome process and requires lot of restoration of apps setting etc.

I have same situation and am searching for stock files from ZVC. Please if any one has these stock file please do share.

Cheers

Stock rom + xposed
[Galaxy Tab S General] pibach:
Bought a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE 2 days ago. Beautiful device with great screen, but:

First thing you realize is the small font size in several apps, such as Facebook. Barely readable.

Tried to use larger font size in settings. That did some effect on some fonts, but no consistent result.

Same with the Big Font app - font sizes and overall appearance becomes inconsistent.

So the only way seemed to change DPI Settings. Which required rooting.

I did the CF autoroot thing. And fiddled with DPI settings using Texdroider app. Originally was 220 DPI. I tried 420 DPI.

Unfortunately after reboot, I was stuck at "systemui angehalten" error message, and touch screen did not respond to input.

Unfortunately I could not switch off the device (to reboot), pressing power button for ever gave no effect.

Since you cannot remove the battery on this device I had to let it run down completely over night. Then booting into Recovery (or Download Mode) was possible again.

Tried a full wipe in Recovery an rebooted. But endless systemui crash loop remained.

Will try to re-flash via Odin to get it back working.

So this thread is firstly a warning if anybody wants to change DPI settings on the Tab S.

Then some questions:

* Did anybody overcome the small fonts problem by changing DPI and which DPI setting is advisable?

* any way to force reboot in such case?
[Galaxy Tab S General] edan1979:
Just use xposed module appsetting to set the dpi for apps individually.
[Galaxy Tab S General] jeffreycentex:
AppSettings works well.. I changed the overall DPI to 240 because all the fonts were way too big for me.. I then reset certain apps back because some of the stock apps don't work right at different DPIs (camera, etc).
[Galaxy Tab S General] pibach:
Reflashing revovered the systemui loop crash.

Tried App Settings, but no succes so far.

What do you guys set up, e.g. for facebook messenger?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab S General] patomas:
Appsettings works great!

I have rooted my galaxy for using exposed framework just to be able to use app settings! It then works great. You can set the font size (or dpi I guess) individually for any app. I use different settings ie for Gmail, Facebook messenger, Chrome, Tapatalk... You have to try a bit to find the perfect setting but it's a must.

Without you have tiny fonts!
[Galaxy Tab S General] pibach:
ok, I installed xposed framework via its installer and then added the app settings module. For those willing to follow this route: you find instructions here: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...tom-stock-roms-and-hello-to-xposed-framework/

Then it is possible to set DPI (or change font size) for each app individually. Text size and rendering was fine for me with 400DPI for Facebook, Tapatalk, or Nova Launcher. Tried with some other apps as well. Seemingly all look better and are more touch friendly with DPI >= 400. For comparison: stock DPI is set to 320 while real DPI is some 500+.

However it is rather inconvenient to set up each and every app individually via app settings module.

Tried to change the global DPI settings with build prob editor, but that somehow did not succeed, 320 DPI remained unchanged.

Tried with DPI changer to no effect. DPI cannot be changed via these apps. Very strange, have to investigate further.

Then tried again with textdroider, just to check - and device hangs again :(

No chance of rebooting or anything...but...yeah, found a trick: insert a SIM-card into the slot and then get asked to restart! Works. You can boot into recovery or download mode. Will try with adb to restore the build.prop backup...

Meanwhile - has anyone been able to set global DPI to something like 400-500 successfully? How?
[Galaxy Tab S General] edan1979:
If you look carefully I n the build.prop there usiually got 2 same dpi line... change both or disable one of it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] jball:
Appsettings module is the best option,going in to build.prop is for overall and sends you in to a boot loop .be sure to have a backup

[Galaxy Tab S General] pibach:
[MENTION=1473204]edan1979[/MENTION], I found only one line in build.prop indicating DPI settings. build.prop editor and DPI changer strangely cannot change that.

I did another test, changing DPI by editing build.prop with Root Explorer. It does change - and goes into UI crash loop :eek:

[MENTION=4425542]jball[/MENTION], any idea, why it crashes?
[Galaxy Tab S General] jball:
Unfortunately I don't, I just know what happened the first time I did it.

Appsettings is the best option though

[Galaxy Tab S General] edan1979:
the UI will crash since it was build for the original dpi and the ui setting as well... just install another launcher first and clear the Touchwiz data. It wont crash any longer but if you use touchwiz it wont be good looking... and some other touchwiz related apps will crash as well... that one can be settle using app setting to original dpi.
[Galaxy Tab S General] kenkiller:
Samsung is too lazy to support multidpi for their apps that's made for specific DPI values.
[Galaxy Tab S General] pibach:
I did not use Touchwiz. It is SystemUI that crashes...
[Galaxy Tab S General] kenkiller:
Unless you are running CM, everything is part of Touchwiz, including SystemUI.
[Galaxy Tab S General] pibach:
Is it?

CM?

The DPI problem and crashes do occur as well on non Samsung devices. Don't they?
[Galaxy Tab S General] kenkiller:
Not really. I change DPI systemwide on my Nexus devices, they don't crash so easily - they are pretty much unified in terms of software.

Samsung really doesn't like to make a one size fits all firmware for the dozens of devices they release, so you get "problems" like this - to be fair, they don't really anticipate the average user to go around fooling with the DPI values.
[Galaxy Tab S General] pibach:
Probably Samsung has set 320 DPI on all their devices?
[Galaxy Tab S General] kenkiller:
Who knows...who cares? :D Their assets probably isn't made for all the existing DPIs.

Anyway, xposed app settings works fine for most apps, just gotta live with the systemUI being stuck in that.
[Galaxy Tab S General] pibach:
If systemUI belongs to TouchWiz, couldn't it be replaced? How?
[Galaxy Tab S General] kenkiller:
Sure....Flash Cyanogenmod for it, if it exists and you don't mind losing all of Samsung's features.
[Galaxy Tab S General] NixxonExxo:
Which font setting did you change? Try changing the font settings under accessibility.
[Galaxy Tab S General] pibach:
That does not work consistently, as described.
[Galaxy Tab S General] texeros:
Try ifont from the player store. It's great work good. My font now are good. You can choose many size.
[Galaxy Tab S General] pibach:
It does not depend on the font. It messes up proportions, icons sizes, etc. Only way so far is via app specific dpi settings.
[Galaxy Tab S General] pinsb:
So which setting in App Settings changes just the Home Screen dpi so that font sizes get changed?

Running Nova with Steampunk Icon set my Font Labels are far too small, need to be increased by circa 30% but I don't want to change the Icon sizes.

Suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab S General] mac231us:
Anyone tried this? (this is for Oppo find 7 but also one of those 2560x1440 (close to 2560x1600) type resolutions (less than tab s though but much smaller screen size)..I have a find 7 but have no need for altering dpi as perfectly fine in color os so don't want to try it on that phone. However, I tried this on the tab s and kept getting system ui crashes..no luck even trying to theme the system ui when i borrowed pngs etc from tab pro (system ui crashing)-as I don't like the s4/5 look

http://xdaforums.com/find-7/general/dpi-change-7-qhd-devices-t2893275
[Galaxy Tab S General] barth2:
I think dpi applies at a pretty low level and does not distinguish between font or anything else. Since you use nova you can change the font face it uses, but I don't see an option for changing size. You could try using normal instead of condensed.

Now if you really really want it, you can use a font editor and modify the system font to be larger, in effect making, say, an 8 point font into a 10 point font. Then use a font changer app and replace the system font. Or use a root explorer and copy into system/fonts or whatever. Obviously you need root. Also this is kind of dangerous!

I have bad eyes so this is exactly what I did on my nook hd+. I've replaced robot condensed and regular and droid serif. Behold my ridiculously ginormous fonts and icons in screen shot. The S lets you change robot regular I think. No rooting necessary.
[Galaxy Tab S General] pinsb:
Thanks for the idea but that will still put the 'oversize' font into every instance where system font needs to be used, what I want to do is ONLY change the Icon Label font size and leave everything else untouched.

Does anyone know, if you're running Nova on a Tab S, where the value(s) for the Home Screen fonts are stored or are they picked up from system default? In which case there has to be a setting somewhere to say scale the Home Screen font by XX surely?
[Galaxy Tab S General] barth2:
You could just ask the dev for feature request. Falling that, you could try to decompile the apk and hope it is conveniently placed in an xml file.

[Galaxy Tab S General] cpg1987:
I'm not the one you asked, but I can confirm I have xposed working on lollipop. I used app settings module to change the dpi to 400 on my apps and it works great. Xposed will only work on a deodexed rom, so make sure you install one of those first or xposed will fail at install.
[Galaxy Tab S General] warpkari:
Great thanks! Which rom are you using? IronRom is a deodexed touchwiz based lollipop rom so I'm hoping it will work on that...
[Galaxy Tab S General] cpg1987:
Yes it will work on IronRom! That is the one I'm using right now with all of the xposed mods:)
[Galaxy Tab S General] warpkari:
Did you install Xposed from within the rom installer itself? Also, which kernel did you go with? (IronKernel / Stock)

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Tab S General] cpg1987:
I didn't install xposed from the installer because I already downloaded the files and planned on flashing in TWRP after installing the ROM. You should have no problem installing xposed from the aroma installer!

I went with Ironkernel b/c it gives more options, which allows you to tweak your tablet to your liking. I selected the Tab A apps in the installer too, and I don't really care for them that much haha. I'll probably dirty flash tonight and just use the Tab S apps.
[Galaxy Tab S General] clandestino123:
Guys, I seem to be failing at the final hurdle.

How do I set, for example, chrome to 400 dpi?

In "app settings" under chrome, I can see dpi = 0 ....if I enter "400", hit save and relaunch....nothing happens?! Chrome looks the same as before.

Help please!
[Galaxy Tab S General] cpg1987:
You have to close out chrome before the changes will be seen! I usually just clear my open apps and this does the trick
[Galaxy Tab S General] clandestino123:
thanks mate. The problem was actually to do with me using framework v4, which is not compatible with alpha4 (framework v5 is necessary.)

Anyway.... what I'm seeing is that whilst the dpi in the chrome menus has changed (bookmarks, address bar, etc) - in the web pages, it is unchanged?!! Facebook on chrome still looks just as tiny as before!!!

Am I doing something wrong? What do I need to change in "app settings" other than setting the dpi to 400?
[Galaxy Tab S General] cpg1987:
Are you hitting save in the top right corner after changing the dpi? Surely that's not it since your menus and address bar are changing. Other than that, I don't know what else would cause your issue. I just enter the dpi I want for that app and hit save. Then, open it and the changes are made made.

Does this happen in the stock browser as well?
