Hello,

i would like to write an app that shows the camera in a window.

I don't need controls, i need only to show in a window what the camera sees.

I would like to know which are necessary layouts and main activity statements to show the camera in a window.

If you have an example, very simple app, can you send me the source?

Thank you

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wootang912:
Im trying to find a twrp file that doesnt require downgrade, ive seen on the twrp.me web page that there is a recent stable twrp being worked on but the vk810 is not in the list of supported devices. Google searches bring up out dated threads on vzw lg gpad, any help would be appreciated
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You'll have to be more specific. Downgrade of what? If you meant without downgrading the bootloader, that's not possible. It also has nothing to do with TWRP specifically, it's because the 11A (4.2.2) bootloader is vulnerable to a hack which allows installation and booting into any custom recovery.

There's nothing that could be done to any custom recovery to get around this, it's a restriction of the device.

There's never been any official TWRP releases for the VK810. The 2.8.7.0 available in one of the Development sections is the latest you can get (or need), although of course the first thing you still have to use the loki hack and install the initial version 2.7.0.1 of TWRP, then flash the 2.8.7.0 one from 2.7.0.1.

Do you know of a reliable guide with download links and instructions im currently running 5.0.2 rooted w/ supersu.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The third link down in my signature below: "[VK810.4G] [altev] most reliable way to root and install a custom recovery" Since you're already rooted with SuperSU you can skip to the part about installing the initial v2.7.0.1 of TWRP.

Hi All,

I am currently an undergraduate of FCC and I am going to transfer probably to Maryland after 2 years. I am majoring in computer science or computer engineering and I have always been interested in Android and development. Ever since my droid X I have been running custom roms and kernels and such. I feel it is time to try and make my own. I was wondering if any of the amazing developers on here would be interested in helping me out just through some conversations on hangouts. If anybody is interested in helping me out my hangouts is: radicproductions@gmail.com
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noidea24:
I'm no professional at this, I've only made a kernel and built cm from source with a few mods for my old vs980 (LG g2). But I'm in the process of setting up my HP to start building a ROM for my Nexus 6.

First things first, go grab a copy of a Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS and get it installed on whichever computer you will be building off of. Once your up and running and all of your driver's are working properly, follow This Guide.

It will lead your through the process of setting up you build environment, downloading source, and compiling a successful rom.

After you have your first ROM running on your device, start experimenting with different toolchains, adding commits, different mods, etc.

I've looked around and I see people have some problems with HDMI and Remix .. but I don't get any image at all. I thought it's simply not supposed to work, but now I see other people got it working, even with problems.

I have ASUS N55S notebook. Internal screen works just fine, but connecting anything over HDMI just does nothing. Am I supposed to turn it on somewhere ?

Mine works on Dell 15r 5520 laptop with Intel+AMD dual graphics, but it shows the lower (laptop screen) resolution on my external Dell 27'' monitor in the middle of the screen with thick black frame around it. The external screen is connected via HDMI.

I've searched all over the Internet for the solution and the only successful one was to phisically unplug the laptop screen. The system will then "think" my external screen is a primary one, and adjust the resolution accordingly.

If there is anyone with the "normal" solution here, please tell me how to do it.

Thanks!

I can't believe nobody solved this issue!!??
[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
[MENTION=4967487]djcukor[/MENTION] in Remix 2 you could use external display in exclusive mode - screen shown only on the external display. Now it's only mirrored - so the resolution is currently not adjustable. No idea how's the status on this.

[Greenify] badbob001:
Using Greenify 2.9 beta 2 on Nexus 6P (stock), non-root, with fingerprint lockscreen.

With Tasker or Automate, create a task like this:

Wait 20 seconds.

Play a beep (so you know when it's done).

Run Greenify HibernateNow action.

Then do this:

Have your phone set to NOT lock immediately after the screen turns off (mine is set to 30 minutes) and have the power button turn off the screen but NOT lock the phone.

Next, launch an app that greenify is set to hibernate (I use the game Neko Atsume). This is important as greenify will do nothing if it doesn't find an app to hibernate.

Start the Tasker/Automate task.

Press the power button to turn off the screen.

Wait a few seconds after you hear the beep to let greenify finish.

Press the power button to turn on the screen. You will see the lock screen, which is unexpected for the HibernateNow action.

How do I know that greenify is responsible for locking the device? My device (nexus 6p) has fingerprint unlocking enabled. If I run Hibernate+Lock directly, the resulting lock screen doesn't support fingerprint unlocking but only pin unlocking. So when I encounter a lock screen that is pin-only, then it's due to greenify.

Why do I care? I'm working on a tasker/automate task to automatically run hibernatenow when the screen turns off. My device is not rooted so I can't enable greenify's own auto-hibernation.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanGeorges:
Hello,

I wanted to update my phone to the MM Dev edition (had SD LP) using the Dev edition RUU, and it seemed to start fine.

Now the RUU seems "stuck" at 28%, Updating System (updating ROM image).

Can I just power down the phone and try again? Is that safe?

Any ideas? Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Not much else you can do, if its frozen.

Is it safe? Probably. I don't think you can permanently damage the phone if its stuck updating System. Bootloader or radio would be another story.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanGeorges:
Thank you redpoint73. As you said, not much choice.

I was able to re-do the RUU and everything works fine.

Thanks again!

Hello!

A while ago i managed to brick my garminasus m10 with some faulty firmware update. I could not get it to boot and not even connect to pc in boot mode.

So i tried one more time and i succeeded to install a chinese version(6.27) of firmware through boot mode. Now i thought all is okay, but when i tryed to install english version of the firmware, it just hangs in the windows logo screen and nothing happens. And if i installed the chinese version again, the chinese version worked fine . Has anyone got an idea what might be the problem ?
[Xperia Z3v General] iambedook:
I was able to accomplish a Full Root on the latest OTA update on the phone.

Previously I was running Stock 4.4.4 KitKat with SuperSu and had issues with the OTA, since I had removed Apps.

I installed the Stock 4.4.4 ftf to the phone using the flashtool.

Then was successful in receiving the Prompt to update.

After Update, I installed. "Kingroot" for android. just google it. NOT KINGOROOT or any other.

After running kingroot, King User was installed.

In my experience, no other root method will achieve full root. I was not happy with using Kinguser, since i was a Supersu fan. But anytime I successfully removed kinguser, to swap for Supersu, I had lost partial root access, and could not uninstall apps. I could only Freeze.

I also tried Superuser, but only kinguser allowed me to fully uninstall bloatware, and other apps from the phone.

Just thought I would share.
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
Thanks, Iambedook. Every experience helps. Kingoroot got me into trouble once before in the past.
[Xperia Z3v General] Astoras:
Can you flash back to 4.4 from 5.1.1?

I'd love to try this, but I'm kinda unwilling/aprehensious to take the chance with rooting apps. Can you confirm that you can use flashtool to revert back to 4.4? I just know Verizon would block such a thing in an update, they can be jerks. (like the moto razr maxx hd) Any insight is appreciated.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Yes, you can revert back to 4.4.4 through Flashtool. Doing so though, you will not have Advanced Calling or the refreshing Lollipop UI. Also, unless you do something about it, you will be promptly reminded all the time to update to 5.1.1.
[Xperia Z3v General] pvcdroid:
Giga,

If I use this method to root 5.1.1., can I install dual recovery and Camera 2 and the FM tuner app? I'd also like the updated flashlight you put together but don't see that as a separate install. Should I wait or go ahead with this method for root?

Thanks, Pat
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
You may root, but I would advise against anything else. the Z5 Camera is most likely not compatible for our phones on 5.1.1, and neither is the FM Tuner. It's a whole lot I can't touch base on yet.
[Xperia Z3v General] iambedook:
I was able to flash back to 4.4.4 after i messed things up, but after going back to 4.4.4 i am struggling to get back to 5.1.1. The updates are not appearing, stating I am at the latest version.
[Xperia Z3v General] racer0018:
I would also like a confirm if this. Because I'm sitting around and waiting for a rooted 5.1.1 copy for the phone. Im on 5.0.2 right now and all is working good but still waiting. Thanks all.

[Xperia Z3v General] iambedook:
Just an FYI, after I needed to revert to 4.4.4. I was struggling to receive updates to get back to 5.1.1. I had to use the Flashtool, 3-5 times to get the correct update prompts to appear. If anyone else had similar issues when reverting back, let me know, but re flashing repeatedly worked for me.

[Xperia Z3v General] thals1992:
I was actually able to flash the stock ftf coming 5.0.2. I had to flash it with default options the first time with it failing. I then found that I have to basically flash noting to clear the error on the phone by checking everything in exclude and the other exclude box where it shows its not displaying any files in the middle of the window.

Once that went through, I was able to upgrade from stock to .44 and then the the two updates for 5.1.1. After all that I reset to factory again to test on rooting the phone. I was too, able to obtain root with King Root. I was able to install zxrecovery and xposed with no problems. I'm actually used to King Root as I had to use it on the Verizon branded 7" tablet that didn't have any other possible methods previously. I also found that Busybox was slightly out of date (difference of 2.0) and installed to /sbin which wasn't too big of an issue.

Beyond that my phone seems to get pretty warm and typically complains about not charging even on a 2 Amp charger.
[Xperia Z3v General] Zandermc3:
Can you tell me how you avhieved root because i want it but i can't revert to kitkat for some reason (flashtool won't recognise the update file) and I'm on lollipop. I've tried kingroot(app version) and it didn't work,tried reverting didn't work and tried all the framaroot,towelroot and such apps but none worked. I want working root,xposed and twrp. I can't find any way to do it please help.
[Xperia Z3v General] thals1992:
Try King root again. I used their apk on the phone. It rebooted once at 30%, but when I got back in the app after the reboot, it successfully rooted the device.
[Xperia Z3v General] Zandermc3:
Well when i tried i did it 3 times and it failed,never rebooted. I have z3 international or 6603 i think
[Xperia Z3v General] thals1992:
Thats why then. This is only for the Z3v the Verizon variant.
[Xperia Z3v General] Sockmeister:
Hi there,

New to the forum. After several hours of reading and searching, I became bewildered enough to decide to register and post :).

This thread looked promising. I'm currently on rooted 4.4.4 with this phone. I also have a custom recovery installed. Im trying to get to 5.1.1. As of right now, I assume my only option is to wait for a 5.1.1 ftf so that I can update, because the OTA updates won't work (phone reboots into the custom recovery and the update is interrupted).

Is there an easier way to get the OTA? Or am I stuck waiting for an ftf?

To be clear, my goal is to be on 5.1.1 with root. But at this point I don't think I can get to 5.1.1 at all. :eek:
[Xperia Z3v General] gunz.jones:
You can flash the 4.4.4 ftf back to bone stock, take the update and then root. If the update is released through ftf, you'll still need to flash to stock and root unless someone makes an update zip with root. The last option is to use the backup on the development subforum. 3 of those options will require a from scratch setup, so be prepared. I imagine updating through a zip will be the same though as from my experience with cm and the ilk. Going from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1 will cause bugs to show up more than likely without it.
[Xperia Z3v General] Sockmeister:
Thanks for the reply. So if I use the uploaded twrp backup, I have the option of remaining on 4.4.4 root, (I won't need to go back to stock/ unrooted)?

I'm trying to figure out what the safest option is. If I return back to stock, does this also remove the custom recovery, or is there a separate process to remove that?
[Xperia Z3v General] trobin0406:
I have a stock z3v running the newest 5.1.1 from Verizon and tried rooting using Kingroot. After a reset it said root was unavailable and to request research.

I am not sure what the original person on the post did differently but would really like to know if there is something else i could do or if i did anything wrong.
[Xperia Z3v General] Sockmeister:
Another user here said that he had to flash multiple times to get it to work. I'd simply re-flash and update again and keep trying.

I'm going to be trying this method after I figure out how to get my stock recovery partition back (want to try the OTA update). If anyone has any advice on going back to stock *recovery* I'd like to give it a try.
[Xperia Z3v General] trobin0406:
You were right. I tried again and it failed and tried for a 3rd time and now it says root successful. Went to a terminal and typed in SU and now shows root.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3v General] Sockmeister:
You're welcome! Glad it worked... I'm going to be trying the same thing soon enough.

Just to confirm, you were completely unrooted on 5.1.1 (you did the OTA updates), and THEN you downloaded KingRoot correct?
[Xperia Z3v General] trobin0406:
Correct, Completely unrooted. Received OTA update 5.1.1 on Friday. Today i downloaded kingroot online and installed the apk. ran kingroot and it reset at about 20% opened it up and it said unsuccessful. did this again a second time and unsuccessful. immediately after it said unsuccessful i tried again and it reset around 30 percent and said successful. Now i just need to find out how to get Android pay to work on root.
[Xperia Z3v General] pvcdroid:
I don't think you can get Android Pay working on a rooted device. Google disallows it based on the articles I've read.
[Xperia Z3v General] racer0018:
I just got on 5.1.1 and restoring all my contacts and pictures and all. I had to do it this way because i did like some of the things that were in the verizon roms. But i removed the things that i didnt like about it. All is well now. Fingers crossed that we can get android 6 or at least an unlocked bootloader so we can do it ourselves. Thanks all.
[Xperia Z3v General] pvcdroid:
I used kingoroot after using the flashtool to get back to 4.4.4 and then followed the 5.1.1 v2 twrp instructions from the developer thread.
[Xperia Z3v General] Sockmeister:
Just so everyone knows, I was able to successfully update to 5.1.1 (Xperifirm-released version), and then I too was able to obtain root access using KingRoot.

However, I'm interested in replacing KingRoot with the more "trustworthy" SuperSU. Has anyone tried replacing KingRoot with SuperSU on 5.1.1 on this phone? There are some guides on the internet, but I'm hesitant to try them. I don't want to brick my phone.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Get ready to flash again later on with my prerooted version with special mods.
[Xperia Z3v General] Sockmeister:
I assume you mean this guide! I don't know how I missed it. I used your guide to flash and root the first time around.

Giga, will flashing your pre-rooted lollipop from recovery delete all user data? I have a backup already, but I want to make sure before I try it.

Thanks
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
User data as far as what? Contacts and email information? Most of those would be backed up by Google itself, so logging in will automatically restore those information.

As far as user apps, you could uncheck Data wipe when flashng this on top of your already 5.1.1.. If you're coming from a different FW, it would be recommended to wipe.
[Xperia Z3v General] Sockmeister:
Yep, I was concerned with the apps and app data, as well as saved media, etc.

Your flashable zip appears to be for 5.0.2. But I'm interested in keeping 5.1.1. I assume flashing your zip is going to "downgrade" me to 5.0.2?
[Xperia Z3v General] LeifEricson:
I think what Giga means is that with 5.1.1 finally being added to XperiFirm, he is in the process of creating a 5.1.1 prerooted FTF along with the usual goodies.
[Xperia Z3v General] Sockmeister:
Ah, I understand now. Thank you.

And cheers to you Giga for making these ftfs!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
I know this sounds very rude and I apologize in advance but I just can't stop my self from saying it:

Try using a real programing language :D

Seriously though, VS 2005 is not a good tool if you want to develop for devices as old as those based on PPC 2002.

It doesn't even recognize the SDK for that platform.

That among other things means you will have to deploy manually and will not be able to use any of the remote tools including the debugger.

Plus, having to install CF 1 is not too pleasant for the users of these devices because it takes up quite a lot of precious RAM memory.

Personally I would recommend using eMbedded Visual C 3 (not 4!) for that particular platform.

If you do not know C/C++ you could try eMbedded VB (comes in same package as EVC 3).
