Hi Ciela,

I've got access to an iPhone with Photoswap, and all the tools I require to dump all the packets you'd ever need from Photoswap's transactions. I've also got access to a Galaxy S and a HTC Desire to use for testing.

If you need a hand, give me a shout and I'll devote a fair chuck of my time to helping you get this off the ground, be it by cloning Photoshop or starting something new from the ground up.

It may be wise that if you decide to clone Photoswap, that you get in touch with the developers and see if they're happy for you to go ahead. It'd sure give the Android Photoswap community a great head-start, being merged with the iPhone community. You never know, they may be happy to divulge the API data to you if they like the idea. Without yet dumping any packets, I'd imagine it's all done over HTTPS though, so Padadaz's co-operation would probably be a good thing.

If you decide to go your own way, I've got about 750GB HDD space free on my Xen node, so could spin you up a Debian VM if you need one.

Shout me if you need anything,

Chris

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] fmdaddy:
Hi everyone...first time caller, long time (ago) listener, but novice.

I have an S9 that I used for home and work. Work made me encrypt the phone.

I have about 2 years of photos (the whole pandemic!) on there, and I'm usually really good at backing up regularly, and no I don't use any cloud backup because I didn't want a wayward sync to obliterate anything.

And of course, I obliterated myself by accidentally putting my case on upside down, somehow invoking a factory rest.

So now I have a reset phone, which I've tried to use various utilities to recover the photos from (I only care about the photos), but all of them say that to go deep, you need to root it. And from what I hear, S9s are really hard to root.

But XDA gives me hope,...but before I go down the forum rabbit hole, I hope to get confirmation that the fact that it was originally encrypted isn't basically setting me up for failure. I know the code, but I don't know if the reset-of-an-encrypted phone is basically a non-starter.

Would I be wasting my time? Or if I root it with some XDA posted solution, would something like Disk Drill or D-Back be able to get my pictures back?

thanks...

[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] doubledragon5:
Been wanting to upgrade my phone for a while.. I do have a S9+ but I have noticed it is starting to lag, and needs frequent reboots.. Now I know this phone is not flagship, but I really do not use all the potentials of the phones I usually buy... So I figured this was cheap, and it will handle my needs.. Basically all I ever do is text, talk, web search, and watch youtube.. I rarely ever take pictures or even videos.. So there was no need for me to buy a flagship phone..

I was looking in the OnePluse 8 or 9, but the biggest complaints I have read ( and never read about any of this on other phones i have owned) is the constant drop calls app freeze, no wifi, bluetooth alwasy disconnects etc.... Only thing I plan on doing is just debloating this thing of the Samsung and Google apps. Should have it in about a week...
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] hammeru:
I have the OP9, carrier direct, and have not experienced those issues so far. I rooted it very easily, after the extra steps to extract the boot.img. I enjoy the camera on this phone and the new xpan mode..

Let me know how it goes
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] doubledragon5:
Thanks. I should have the phone from T-Mobile in about a week.. They still haven't shipped it yet... I was really looking forward to a OnePluse 9, but the reviews were just a bit to much.. Glade you not experiencing those issue.. Maybe the next one will be a OnePlus phone..

I need help on how to replace Firestick 4K Fire OS with Android TV Naugat OS or higher if possible. Best if only the remote control app is left to access and control my device when using. I don't like registering the device to Amazon either, and have my own rules applied. We know Fire OS is immensely terrible.

Hello guys,

I work on Mobile Game part, and I have a trouble with some of Adreno 506 on 32bit OS.

On Motorola Z Play, it is usually crash after some of log out of memory appear.

09-27 11:10:36.824 7782 8021 W Adreno-GSL: <sharedmem_gpuobj_alloc:2021>: sharedmem_gpumem_alloc: mmap failed errno 12 Out of memory

I have check the memory use of the game, it doesn't consume too much. So I guess this happen because some of GPU resource as VAO, VBO over limit of this GPU.

So I would like to ask you guys if you have the GPU data sheet of Adreno 506 or all of Adreno spec.

I mean the GPU tech specs are Pixel clock, Fragment clock, ...

Any advice or suggestion are appropriated.

Thanks

Well i believe i can finally make this announcment and say we have done our part in delivering the unlocks and roms and it was very fun while it lasted. our team has moved on to the newer vga and qvga devices. look for me personally to be in the touch hd forums work on roms there as long as i can get a device. as some saw my athena is for sale and if anyone is interested u can pm me or reply to the thread. was very nice knowing everyone and i hope to see most of you in the future on the newer devices. hopefully some of you will move to the touch hd and i will see you there.

good bye and good luck with your athenas. it was and still is one amazing device. sad to let her go but its time...

AP4.0 BlueTooth Stack

It's sad to see you go, but it has been a long and fun ride. THe crowning glory for the team has been the release of AP4, despite all the troubles we've had with it. Michy is doing a stellar job in keeping our appetite's whet with his neverending ROM factory. I do have one final request if I may. The only thing that is keeping me from usin Michy's ROMs (or others for that matter) is the instability of the Bluetooth Stack. This was one area that AP Team hit on the head with AP4 Plat. Please, provide some guidance to Michy on the issue.

On a personal note, I may be following you to the Touch HD crowd when it does become avaiable.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
Thank you for your great roms, wish you well and enjoy your HD.

Your great contribution to this forum will never be forgotton!

Before switching to MichY's roms, I have been faithfully using your roms starting from PK 2 to AP4 for a very long period of time. All those roms ran fast and stable. Everyone of this forum will have the same saying as mine that "Your great contributions to this forum will never be forgotton!"

Hi there PK.

It has been a real slice working with you on the Athena project.We accomplished alot with it, and I am proud to be able to say that I was a part of it. I am currently helping Michy with his roms and still love my Athena.

Good luck with your new projects, and maybe we will work together again one day.

P.S. If you still have your Athena for sale, hit me up on messenger and we can talk about it. I wouldn't mind getting a second one....LOL

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] HeartOfDarkness:
Ah well, it had to happen, what with all the sexy stuff HTC lately came up with.

Thank you and all the Athena Project Team for your hard work and dedication. I think it's safe to say that among all ROM cooks for the Athena, you guys were the Top Guns and actually MADE the Athena a great and, at last, really FULL-FEATURED PDA-Phone, revealing its true potential. AP ROM evolutions will be sorely missed for those among us who have no plan to change their beloved brick any time soon.

Small wondering on my part: do you favor the HD, as compared to the Raphael, solely because of its screen resolution, or is there something else ? Because I myself am starting to think about which one I'd go for "if I had the opportunity", and I was thinking that a built-in hardware keyboard would probably be more useful than the VGA-WVGA resolution gap...

Thanks for your answer, and once again, for everything ! :)

And have fun with your next elite device, and see you then and there, maybe ! :-)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
hd is closest to the athena so thats why. the screen is 3.8 and im going no smaller than the 3.5 in i have on my iphone. i love large screens :p then theres the 3.5 mm jack the hd has. i use the aux port in my car to listen to music from my iphone and used to from my athena. also the hd has a 5mp camera. with mp the sensor will be decent and bc of the resolution of the pics, most of them will look great on my laptop etc.. also about the keyboard... i been using on screen boards since i got my athena so im used to them and dont miss a hardware keyboard. specially with the smart keyboard on the iphone. wvga will just mean better showing of videos, better web browsing expirence etc..
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] HeartOfDarkness:
Heh, thank you for your thourough answer, PK. And well, lol, you DID convince me, too. But since I'm a complicated bast*rd, I now am hesitating between the HD and Sony Ericsson XPeria X1...

But a WinMo without PK cooking ROMs ? Hard to imagine... :-)

Hope you'll have lots of fun with your next device, and hope to try out your future cookies. ;)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] foxnews:
My finger hurts since I have to press the power button (small and flat) too many times a day to wake the diamond from sleep. you can argue that I can set the phone not to sleep but sleep is a must to save battery. using all keys to wake it up can cause any keys to be easily hit by accident, which drains battery fast too. Power button is meant to be used rarely, like the PC reset button.

is there a better way to wake up the diamond? is it possible to configure ONLY the OK (center) button to do this? like the iphone, you just press the OK button. it is big and does not hurt as much?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Vulpix:
How exactly do you keep pressing the power button till your finger hurts?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] foxnews:
hit it once does not hurt but every time it go to sleep and I have to hit the button to wake it up. that is when it hurts.

let say I set it to go to sleep every 40 sec. how many time does it go to sleep in an hours? at least couple times.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wpsantennas:
I've found that the pressure required on the Power Button can depend on the particular Diamond. I've owned two US Diamonds and the first had a difficult Power Button while the second was much easier. Either way, another option to turn it on is to pull out the stylus a short distance - this will wake the Diamond as well. As far as using the center of the D-Pad - I've no idea . . .
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] foxnews:
even though using the stylus is less painful but it takes more steps: get finger nail in the gap, pull it out, then push it back in. if you do these steps many time over an hour, it would be tidious task.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Token42:
On my diamond responsivity of the power button depends strongly on where I'm pressing it. You can try to press it different ways and find out where you get most tactile feedback of the micro-switch. I have the impression that for me it is when I'm pressing from behind, more on the left of it.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] charly_mx:

then all you need to do is press the centre button to wake the diamond!!

EASY:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] angler:
Yes, but other keys such as volumn, home, back, answer and end key are also unlocked. Anyway, there are all hardware keys available to press opening the phone in additon to the default on/off button. I am now using this option.:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blazeitup123:
ya but they will complain that all the buttons are unlocked. that method is just TOO easy. :D

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] zerosynergie:
maybe next time the phone can get u a beer or work for you...man...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] MrPhilly:
Surely this is the Answer..?

OK, the way I see solving this is to have the phone wait longer before auto-locking.

To sort this, go to the following..

Start\Settings\System\Power\Advanced..

Go to 2nd option - It's a tick Box labelled "Turn off Device if not used for.." and adjust it to suit..

This is found in the manual..?

Cheers,

Phil.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] captainsensible2002:
pointless response to a pointless thread...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] techred:
well, it´s maybe less a matter of laziness than of speed, my last phone was a slider ... slide, it wakes up, slide, it goes to sleep - superquick

with the diamond it takes one step more:

I use the option "do not lock buttons" in combination with S2U2, most often I press the ok button and slide to unlock

to put the phone to sleep, I press the power button or use gyrator: I just have to turn the phone face down, than the screen goes off (with S2U2 locking)

hm, maybe I should have bought the diamond pro, but diamond is sexier :-)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hgrimberg:
Thank you!

I installed the program for powering off the phone, but instead of doing it prompts a warning windows that asks me if I want to continue without saving and it reboots the phone, it doesnt turn it off. By the way, my power key does the same and I thought it was because I cleaned it with a tissue and alcohol and ruined it... Why could this be?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] iRiKi:
it's not a program, but a simples shortcut. you can open it with (Pocket) Notepad and see the text in it.

ooops :confused: if the power key does the same then there's some problem with your phone. if an hard-reset doesn't solve it, considered returning it under warranty.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] californiarailroader:
Thanks, I was looking for a way to do this!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] zer0tr:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] payner96:
Use a different finger each time you hit the power button...problem solved, no more sore finger as long as you have eight of them. If the eight fingers manage to get sore you may also use your two thumbs.

I too would like to see an option to lock all keys except the center. Makes sense to me since you probably wont bump the center key in your pocket.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Shaady:
What a totally stupid thread!

So the guy cant be bothered to push the power button to wake up his phone, and it makes his finger hurt, give me a break!

Maybe just have the backlight stay on a little longer?

Im not sure why anyone would have to check their phone that much anyway!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rpassmore:
What a totally stupid response! To all the other namecallers and haters, just go away if this isn't something you're interested in. Just because you don't need it doesn't mean the other person is lazy..maybe you don't use your phone as much as others?

Why do we need to check the phone that much?

Some of us use these phones for business and personal...I get work emails, calendar event notices all the time, plus my 3 personal emails, texting, and phone calls (wow..its like..what winmo phone is marketed for)

And yes I also have to hit the powerbutton everytime I check something because the screen is off. My screen is off all the time because after I'm done reading the email,text,calendar item, I'll lock it and put the phone in my pocket. Otherwise, next thing I know I'm calling someone..

So rather then posting immature and uncalled for responses, in a thread where you have no business being in, you could always point them to the mods that add similar functionality to what he wants. (like s2u2)

If you're too lazy to do that, but somehow have enough energy to flame, couldn't you simply say it's been answered before?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Heinous:
Actually, waking up with the center button would be a nice feature. While it doesn't "hurt," the power key is a little awkward to press. Not a dealbreaker for me, though...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grodi:
I totally agree with this, it is not a "hurting" problem, but a "not easy to press" problem.

It would be great if someone comes up with a registry key to make only center button to wake the device up.
