Can anyone recommend an offline blogging client for windows smartphone?

I dont have a blog yet so not too concerned with compatibility with blog hosts etc.

I'm only after a few features:

1. must run offline then upload at end.

2. must be able to attach a photo.

Anyone done this?

Cheers

I think a lot of blogs also make use of updating via email.. ie. you email an address and the email is posted as the blog entry, blogger.com comes to mind
[HTC Excalibur] gusnor:
thanks for that, yes i've tried and it works, although i'm trying to post a photo also.

Ideally by attaching to the email, blogger won't let you post a photo this way, it just drops the file and posts only the text.
[HTC Excalibur] kast:
Try getting a blog on Wordpress.

Wordpress has couple of extension reading incoming mail and adding pics as attachments in the posts.

Had done this time ago...

Requirements:

1) Blog which runs on Wordpress

2) Access to the server via FTP so to install plugins

3) Modify a bit the plugin scripts (PHP) so to have exactly what you need.

4) A very difficult to guess email address

...and you're done.

Check Wordpress codex for the mail & attachment plugin.

In the meantime I'll try to see if the modified plugin is still somewhere on my HD home and if found will post it here.

Ka.

This guide shows you how to theme your home screen to look like the stock home screen of the Samsung Galaxy S3

This requires

NO ROOT

, is smooth as butter and it looks more like the stock Galaxy S3 home screen than any other launchers I have seen :)

This guide is done by me, I made this by testing different options and seeing what looks the best

Picture of the finished home screen:

Guide:

Step 1: Download and install Go Launcher EX

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex&hl=en

Step 2: Download and install the Galaxy S3 Go Launcher Theme, this gives you S3 icons in the Go Launcher. After installing, open it and click "OK" and the theme changes

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex.theme.vrd.galaxytheme

Step 3: Download and install the Galaxy S3 weather/clock widget, if you fail to add a location, uninstall this app, enter recovery, wipe cache and reinstall the apk

http://www.mediafire.com/download/s95fv8lt3k53k8x/YAWeather.apk

Step 4: Download and install the Custom ICS Search Widget:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.u1aryz.products.icssearchwidget

Now that you have everything needed downloaded and installed, it's time to customize

Step 1: Rearrange your icons in the Go Launcher so they look like in the picture, move the app drawer to the right side of the dock and remove browser from the dock

Step 2: Long press in the Go Launcher, click "Effect" and select "Glass"

Step 3: Enter the app drawer, click the 3 dots, select Settings, select Transition and change Horizontal transition to "Smooth"

Step 4: Set your desktop wallpaper to this:

https://cdn-images.xda-developers.com/direct/1/0/7/1/2/3/6/wallpaper_02.jpg

Step 5: Long press in the desktop, tap "Preferences" and tap "Screens". Now select "Grid size" and change it to "Tight (5*4)" and turn on "Resizes widgets and icons"

Step 6: Long press in the home page, select "Add", select "Widget" and choose "YA Weather(4x2)". Long press the widget, select Resize and resize it 1 step bigger so it fills in about half of the editable area like in the picture

Step 7: Now add a widget "Custom ICS Search", when you're in the edit screen make sure that all of them are white except the shadow color and that the shadow is on, after this press "OK" and it will add the widget. Make sure that it's below the S3 weather/clock like in the picture

You are finished! You can do customizing if you want, this guide is to a stock look

If you have any questions, leave them as a reply and I will try to answer them :)

[General Questions and Answers] fruity101079:
Hello there.

My question is simple, i want to block the popup that appears on a lot of websites in chrome. Popup that show "the possibility to use the existing app", or "to connect", etc...

Popups so difficult to close because of a tiny cross!

You can look at the screenshot to understand what I mean (I already use adaway, that's why the popup is empty).
[General Questions and Answers] Paget96:
Download adblock from google, and install it :)
[General Questions and Answers] fruity101079:
Adblock is the same thing as adaway.

And the popup will still be displayed.

It's something made with Java or something (I don't know how it works), and it's not an ad.
[General Questions and Answers] fruity101079:
Another screenshot to make it more comprehensive.
[General Questions and Answers] Degineth:
Try to find from which advertiser that popup comes from. Is there a link or a name below or above the ad? If not, click on the ad and see the top address before it redirects you to the actual ad. Many advertisers have a redirect URL before taking you the advert.

Anyway, once you get that URL, actually just the domain name, you can then use AdBlock and list that URL/domain in the blocked list.
[General Questions and Answers] 95thfallout:
Certain custom roms, have built in ad blocking features that work on apps including chrome. Otherwise I don't know if your idea is possible as the source of the ad is the same as the site.
[General Questions and Answers] fruity101079:
Thanks for replying, but actually it's not an "ad". (It's an information delivered by the website to say "create an account" or "download the app or continue viewing the website".)

When it is, it's already blocked with Adaway and I have a blank window above the main website.

I saw an article about that, I can't remember the name of how it works or the way to block it....

Maybe it's possible only on desktop Chrome...

[Q&A][Root]Rooting with Locked Bootloader - NO OTA Method

Xperia M2 D2303 on K.K. 4.4.4
[Sony Xperia M2] saibbyweb:
Thanks mate!
[Sony Xperia M2] Vtrendzzy:
Yes I can help you.

I've the same device.

First, don't use the JB kernel given in that thread. It's for D2303. You'll have to get JB kernel of D2302 which is unfortunately not available. For that you'll have to download JB rom and it's build number ends with .23. You can find the download it's easy. After that download D2302 4.4.4 kitkat stock rom US based or Generic Indian version, both work fine.

So now you've two kernels. Before flashing, switch on USB debugging and allow mock locations and check if flashtool shows USB debugging on when you connect your not rooted phone.

Flash only JB kernel NOT THE ROM EVEN BY MISTAKE. Flashtool will show kernel.sin and loader.sin. That's it. After flashing done, boot up and connect USB cable. Phone will be stuck in bootloop. Now get easyroottool. You can get it on xda no worries. Run install.bat. If script fails to work, try 4-5 times. It'll work. Try both options Run and Run as admin. Follow the script and you'll see cleaning up then press CTRL C press Y. Disconnect and connect again, and flashtool will show that your phone has root access. This is half root tho. Okay so the mind f*cking process is done.

After this you'll need a safety pin to switch off the phone. Open the sim card flap and you'll see the off button. After switching off the phone, just flash your kitkat stock kernel. Boot up the phone. Connect it. This step you'll need adb. Goto where your adb files are and there open command prompt by holding shift and right click.

Just run this command --> adb shell "su -c /data/local/tmp/installmount.sh"

It's actually install_tool.sh but since we've used easyroottool, it has installmount.sh

That's it. Fully rooted. Install SuperSu and install binary as normal and you're done.

Anything more you need then i can help you :)

If status shows, that Boodloader Unlock allowed: NO, then it can't be change to YES.

You have hard locked your bootloader by your carrier or something else.

If you was on 4.1 ROM or sth, and then the status was YES, but after installation to the newer android version if became "NO", then it can be reverted to the previously status ("YES") with flashing .ZIP (search in forum, I've did that and it worked for me, but I can't remember what was it named like, 'cause I've did that ~ 8 months ago).

Heya!

I'm loving 5.0.2, but the keymapping changes (ie long-press home now goes to Google, and recents have been mapped to the menu button) has ....annoyed me, so I made a quick fix to revert functionality.

Unfortunately this is the only way to affect long press actions since we dont yet have xposed for ART, and it requires a framework mod.

It goes without saying that this is just for TW 5.0.2, and needs to be flashed in recovery.

Hi all,

Few days back i was trying to root my HTC one. In order to play safe i saved all my contacts in my phone memory. Later i transferred that file containing my contacts to my system. That file was saved with an extension ".VEF". Usually contacts file get saved with VCF (never heard about VEF before).

In order to synchronize my Samsung phone book i transferred that file from my system to my samsung galaxy S5. But i am getting an error with this? This file is not opening. Kindly suggest me how to open that VEF file?

[XDA Assist] Heisenberg:
Hi :)

Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. As far as I know you can use a .vef file to import contacts to your Google account using your PC. Open the contacts section of your Google account on a desktop browser and you'll see the import contacts option at the bottom of the left sidebar.

Once you've done that just sync your Google contacts on any of your Android devices and your contacts will appear. And in future make sure you save new contacts as a Google contact instead of on your phone memory, it makes things a lot easier.

So. I got a note 4 about 2 weeks ago. Was going to get a nexus 6 but I wanted an SD card slot. So I go to put in my sd card a few days ago( less than a year old SAMSUNG 64gb sd card) and 2 days later it is absolutely dead, no low level formatting tools, can't be read on any device no way no how, no chkdsk no nothing. Of course Samsung has no warranty info on their 64 gb cards online hopefully I have time to call after work today.

And NOW, I popped in a older sd card this morning, and it's saying it's blank or not formated right..

what a joke samsung

Mainly I want to know if there is anything I should do before I get a replacement sd card so this doesn't happen again. Factory reset, take it in for a replacement, or get a new phone. Lol. Do you think the lollipop update will help?

BlissPop worked great up until about a week ago with just the regular installation, no tweaks. CM then introduced some new commits regarding bluetooth, so as far as I can tell, all CM-based ROMs will have the same issue now (and I've tested over a half-dozen so far). DarkoBass is mostly AOSP, I believe, and it didn't seem to have any issues - made it through a few songs with no stutter - but I missed too many other features from BlissPop so I went back tweaking it with Boeffla to find a solution. ParanoidAndroid is mostly AOSP as well - I bet bluetooth on it would work fine, and they just released an alpha build today, I think. Might just give it a try myself...
