[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Linuxium:
Easiest way to try Linux on a RK3288 if you only have a Windows PC.

First check your bootloader version and if necessary flash the RK3288Loader_uboot_V2.17.02.bin (downloadable from 'https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99O3A0dDe67Tm1nVjdncVBuaG8') to your device to allow SD card booting.

Next download and uncompress one of these images ('https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99O3A0dDe67cU1ZSkoybEdPeTA' or 'https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99O3A0dDe67XzBhYTRKS1BqTnc') and write the image to an SD card using 'Win32 Disk Imager' on Windows (or 'dd' on Linux).

Then just put the SD card into your device and turn on the power to boot up Linux.

Booting will give you a full Linux desktop. It will not affect your installed software as everything needed to boot is taken from the SD card so it will work even if the device is 'bricked'. As it provides effectively a generic RK3288 kernel and resource image, both wifi and/or sound may or may not work depending on your specific device. However you can then use the system to build a bootable SD card by following 'Running Android or Linux from an SD card on a RK3288 device' (see 'https://plus.google.com/+IanMORRISON/posts/22Vxc6Sr5Ei') or similar.

The default username is 'linuxium' and the default password is 'p'.

A root password can be set by entering 'sudo su -' and then 'passwd root' in a terminal window. You can expand the file system to utilise the whole SD card by entering 'echo -e "d\nn\np\n1\n139265\n\nw" | sudo fdisk /dev/mmcblk1' then rebooting and entering 'sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk1p1' to complete the resizing.

One other advantage is that this image also supports a Linux root file system (RFS) on USB. So if you want to try a different RFS all you need to do is download one and write it to USB and then make sure both the SD card and USB are inserted before connecting the power.
[Java for Android App Development] ChipmunkCody:
Hi all,

I'm really new into Android dev, but I got the basics for doing basic things.

I've got a question about ListViews, specially for horizontal lists for the moment. Is it possible to give different styles to the following item and the passed item?

I've got an Horizontal list that shows 3 elements in the screen (1 in the middle, and 1 in each side half-viewed). The middle item should look with the image and text below (accomplished), meanwhile the two from the sides should have the image with opacity and without text (haves the same style as the middle item).

Is it possible to do that in Android? If it's, must be have some methods to be implemented in the getView()?

I would post an image of what I want, but can't for the moment.

Thanks in advance.

Currently, we already have a thread for xpose module to help users to run mutiple Skype ID on their android here: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/mod-skypex-version-spoofing-skype-app-t2860388

I also followed that thread from October. However recently I just found out a small tip for who wants to run 2 skype id on same android device without xpose module.

HOW TO:

1. Download and Install version from google play normally: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skype.raider&hl=en.

(If you cannot access google play or you don't have google play on your phone, just go to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2392504 to request apk file or use evozi's website to download it)

2. Download and install version from skype China's website. Because Google service is not availabe in China so Skype must publish a version for this market on their website.

Link for Skype China Website's download page: http://skype.gmw.cn/down/skype-for-mobiles.html

EXPLAIN

I checked the package name, one from GPlay is "com.skype.rider" and one from Skype China's website is "com.skype.rover". That's the same method with the xposed module I mentioned (2 apps with 2 different package name) but it can be considered as official way from Skype :P and of course it's more stable in my opinion

Hope this can be useful for users as me for using 2 skype ids at the same time. Of course if you want to run more than 2 id, using xpose module still works well. But for 2 ids, this is much easier.

Hi Guys,

Not sure whether this thread help you how many's. But it is especially for the one who were using AOSP ROM and willing to flash LoliPOP without going back to MIUI v5 or 6. Because I found some threads saying it is recommend to flash MiUI 5 or 6 first before flashing the LoliPOP else will ends up with bootloop. Actually it is not needed. I will describe the steps , unfortunately I can't paste the file link here. You may please find out from the other threads or MIUI forums. Here are the steps,

1) IVAN already provided a CWM for LoliPOP installation. We need to install LoliPOP from that recovery. But it's full of Chinese. So I was used the old CWM (r7-English language) for wiping all the stuffs

2) wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik. Format both system, cache and data using old recovery.

3) flash the CWM provided by IVAN from that old recovery via the option 'install zip from SD card'. It will show a warning that "untrusted", just ignore that and flash it.

4) now reboot recovery, and you will get Chinese stuff CWM

5) choose the first option -> zip -> LoliPOP ROM

6) flash the google apps if required.

7) then reboot it.

Finally root it via the thread http://xdaforums.com/xiaomi-mi-3/general/lollipop-mi3-guess-yes-t2940083/page17

Its page 17 and 2nd reply

Please do thanks button if it is helped you.

[Galaxy S 5 General] @non4:
That is an issue, I've had it on KK too. I just unmount, delete the folder, download and recreate the folder pair. Its really not too much effort unless you let your internal SD get too low

You serious? For me its lightning. More responsive in ui. Games much quicker on stock kernel. Battery good as ever. On a dirty flash, no bloat removed except the polish apps. Not sure why you find it slower unless you have a ton of services from your apps running since Sammy apps run quite a few themselves. Solution is to remove bloatware or flash xtrestolite lp beta

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonbutt74:
hi,

okay, i recommend following [MENTION=5704037]repey6[/MENTION] 's suggestion

and then comparing the pit file you generate/extract

with the one i extracted with the following command.

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=481 skip=2176

link- edit -fails

to curb the noob menace, extract the file first. :cyclops:

looking at the file i believe the name of the pit file should be PITMSM8x26.pitH

if incorrect remove the H

i have attached the file for comparison. Execute the same above command in your device's own terminal [any interested user]

to generate your own out.pit for comparison with the output from repey6 's suggestion.

Every time I delete this file it reappears, but only if I'm connect to a network via WiFi or cellular. This file is not on my external sd card/removable sd card but rather on the phones storage.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiddghost:
I do download music. But this is a new phone and I recently factory reset it but before that I removed all music files except for things that came with the phone. I even removed the removable sd card all together just to be sure

I downloaded from multiple sources. Mainly soundcloud, sometimes bandcamp.com, less often mp3juices and some others.

In addition, I don't even have to play a particular song or music extension ie. Flac, wav, acc, etc... For the nmdsdcid.noextention to reappears. All that's required is an active connection and time

Even using different music playing apps the file won't reappear in the file manager.

Lastly it's not in any particular folder, which gives even less clues to which app or other file created it. It's just sitting under all my folders in:

Device/sdcard

When it reappears I'll attach a photo to this post.

hey guys..i want to connect my pda prophet to the internet. how can i do that? also how which device can i use to use gps programms?

thanks all for ur responses
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] levenum:
Ok:

1) Internet:

There are three ways:

1 - Through your computer, when the device is synced it shares PCs internet connection.

2 - WiFi. Press the comm manager button (left side) and tap the antenna drawing. If you are near a hot spot (open free network) the device will automatically detect it and ask if you wan to connect.

3 - GPRS / EDGE - This costs money because you go through your cell provider. Contact them for prices and settings. (The one advantage is you can connect from anywhere).

3) GPS:

Just search the net or your local gadget store for BT GPS receiver. Any BT receiver should work.

Hi pellos.

If you want help finding maps you need to tell us what software you installed. Map files are not generic.

If so I can only point you to Wikipedia since you obviously do not understand the first thing about GPS.

First of all I just bought Global Moto G 2014 (XT1063) from US Amazon and that was KXH21.85-23 (not updatable to Lollipop via shared OTA.)

So I did manage to unlocked the bootloader and flashed KXH21.85-17 and tried to flash the "Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuglb.retuglb.en.US" which supposed to flash the Lollipop.

Unfortunately at first it failed to update me because "Printspooler.apk" mismatch the hash check. After attempt to flash (yes, I ignore the abort message and redo the process, It passed.... I don't know why) and stuck at some "xxx.apk" mismatch the hash again. After redo the process and bypass (for unknown reason that redo bypass the mismatch) I stuck at "velvet.apk" mismatch and this time It won't let me bypass and keep going on update to lollipop.

In my theory, Is it possible that I flash KXH21.85-17 from other country? Yes, any XT1063 (latin american, whereever on earth) supposed to flashable, but maybe the different country has slightly different apk. So that's why I failed the hash check.

Can anyone give me a URL or mirror to USA XT1063 for KXH21.85-17 that confirmed updatable to Lollipop? Since SBF-Dev and MotoFirmware is now down I couldn't find any.

I know what I'm saying is sound ridiculous, but I have no other theory that support my conspiracy anymore.
