I think he means that the image of the QR code is also a link.

such as

<a href="qr/link/path"><img src="qrcode.jpg"/></a>

OP is asking if there is a application that will read QR images directly through the browser from the image, not a hyperlink to the page. (I don't know of any apps that do that currently.)
[Android Apps and Games] jcevallos:
Hi,

You can do this from the Android browser using its "Share" feature with an app named QR Droid. I think it's as close as possible to a browser add-on.

Look for "la.droid.qr" in the Market and install it. After that:

- In the Browser, long-click the image and select "Save image"

- After downloaded, open image from notification bar

- Select Menu > Share > "Decode with QR Droid"

I hope this helps

Just saw the videos from the htc desire Z and wow. The main thing I want is that htc fast boot. It literally took the phone 4 seconds to boot up. You think we will ever see the light of day on that for our Evos?

Is that an Evo in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Link to vid?

Sent from my blah blah blah blah
[EVO 4G General] mmanjj:
Yea its the second video they have posted.

Www.engadget.com/2010/09/15/htc-desire-z-hands-on/

Is that an Evo in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
damn - that is fast. But my takeaway from that vid is the fact that lansdcape sense should now be doable.
[EVO 4G General] mmanjj:
Yea. If they can do it for sliders it shouldn't be too hard to do it officially for our phones. Love that boot up speed...

Is that an Evo in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
[EVO 4G General] NCHEVYHEVN:
I was more excited about landscape sense. The fastboot is defiantly cool but a feature that isn't too useful since my phone is pretty much always on.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I was sort of hoping maybe Sprint & HTC would do an update for the EVO . Since we have a kickstand and all.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Exactly - Although at this point I'm too attached to launcherpro to go back to sense, the fact that I couldn't use sense in landscape with the kickstand is what pushed me to launcherpro in the first place.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Yeah that fast boot was pretty impressive.

All sorts of HTC love going on today. Wild.
[EVO 4G General] PPCUserT:
landscape sense ftw

here's hoping they update us (wont be holding my breath)
[EVO 4G General] spy_owl2:
I don't have the audio so please correct me if I'm wrong; but to me it looked like they demonstrated the startup time for Sense, not the whole phone. i.e. Android will still take its usual time to start up, it's just the Sense portion of it (the very last part before you see the unlock screen) will be faster. If that's true, overall it will be a marginal improvement.
[EVO 4G General] evilecho:
HTC GUY: And that's the boot, its ready to use.

Camera Guy: Was that the whole boot

HTC GUY: Yes, we've done a lot to improve boot time etc.

So I'm guessing it is the boot time.
[EVO 4G General] Ep3n3wp:
I want landscape sense!!!!!! Now!!!!! Lol... When can I haves it?
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
While some have noticed that the "fastboot" was incredibly fast another video showed the phone booting up and taking longer.

Read somewhere, was a couple hours ago, that a reboot was the speedier of the two, not necessarily powering up a cold phone. Is that the case? Maybe I misread, but I forgot where I saw it so I can't really go back and read again ... maybe I missed something. And I probably did, have been drinking. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] kshelton:
Pretty impressive I hope this comes to the EVO.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
why do you guys want landscape sense? don't see a use for it. But I do like the new status bar and the customization as well.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
I would like landscape sense because, if I were to be using a sense ROM, I constantly hold the phone in landscape. So when I go from here to homescreen I have to turn the phone, which is incredibly taxing for me (:rolleyes:) and this would solve the issue.

As it stands, have used CM6 damn near the whole time it's been out, but I understand why people want it. A buddy got his new Evo and this was something I noticed. He'd go from portrait to landscape to portrait to landscape and he was like, dude, this is getting old. I had to agree with him. I know the widget solution ... yeah, sure, but it looks awkward.
[EVO 4G General] jkinnison90:
Ah hope this is released for evo.. looks great.
[EVO 4G General] PlankLongBeard:
This has to be released for the Evo, its HTC sense.. so it should arrive on the incredible too.. if they only choose 1ghz devices. What I'm wondering is how and when will this be implemented.

They're launching htcsense.com next month, maybe this will include updates for in use devices.

[EVO 4G General] protoadies:
Same reason as many others here I want sense in landscape. That's the only reason I left HTCsense I won't even consider a rom with sense unless they fix that flaw
[EVO 4G General] Imprezed:
Anyone else notice that the flip clock actually has flip animation? I want it just for that! haha
[EVO 4G General] jkinnison90:
Yeah, I noticed that as well. Looks so much better.
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
I just want the new status bar!
[EVO 4G General] davebu:
I hope there will be a way to pin apps to that, or maybe widgets too. They said it was recent apps, kinda useless as long press home does that.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
from what i know, the home button is for running apps (multi tasking).
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Thought the home thing was recent apps .. seems to be for me Always see that damn search I'm always accidentally hitting.

>.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
yes because that app is still running even when you back out of it.
[EVO 4G General] steb0ne:
Yeah, if you notice...the signal bar indicator doesn't show a signal until after he shows off the hinge design; when he flips it back over (around :27) it has a signal...before he flipped it, it didn't.

Yet still... I love to see if boot up that fast just so I can start doing whatever I intend to do. The landscape Sense is what I look forward to most though.

[EVO 4G General] n1gh7m4r3:

[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
All you have to do is hold the Home key in for a couple of seconds and get the same results.
[EVO 4G General] muzz3256:
I have to say that I like it, especially the animated flip clock. I was disappointed when I saw that my awesome EVO didn't actually flip the numbers. I know that it's a small thing, but I really liked showing off the flip clock.
[EVO 4G General] asqwrd:
I kno that but pulling the notification tab down seems more convenient to me
[EVO 4G General] Rydah:
we better not get a port, we better get the official damn thing. our phones are too new to be left off already
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
I don't know if I would agree with that - I use my phone in landscape a lot, especially when it's mounted in the car, and i'm thinking it would take up too much real estate - say I'm driving, it's more to scroll down to see what that latest email notification was.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
lol i was watching that video and i accidently pressed the arrow key. Found out you can play snake on the youtubes player

anyone else knew about this?

Asphalt 5 is preloaded on our phones, but is it supposed to be a full version or a demo? Mine is only letting me play 5 minutes before it cuts off.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bomix:
yeah it's a demo,, I remember cause I removed the apk, and it said Asphalt Demo on the name of the apk.

Sorry to hear about your 3 year old.. :(
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Damn, how can they tout a demo as a cool feature? LMAO.

Baby Girl is fine, appreciate your sympathy - terrible disease for some, but she is doing well with it compared to some kids we have seen at the Arthritis clinics. And thanks for the reminder to change stuff in my sig (just got my Epic yesterday)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] othan1:
Yeah and if you buy it from the pre-loaded demo, you'll have to rebuy it every time you flash your phone. Make sure to back it up and install in apps or delete it and reinstall from Market.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casual864:
The game runs super smooth & it is only a demo.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entropism:
And if you back up/restore your apps between ROMs, you're asking for trouble (as per Flipz). I'm just annoyed that I was SUPPOSED to get the full game, due to it being a prerelease employee device, and I lost out when I formatted my SD card. I even purchased it on my store's demo account, and lost out when I wiped the phone to put my personal Gmail on there. VERY annoyed, and I don't even like racing games.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xaronax:
Not sure if this can be done, but has anyone tried cooking a different portrait and lanscape keyboard into the same apk?

My preferred landscape keyboard is the regular HTC IME, but Swype is way better in portrait.

I'm using one of the themed Swype apk's from this forum because it has the constant mic button.

If these could be combined so I don't have to switch input methods every time I rotate the phone, it would be awesome.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] g00s3y:
I have no idea if this can be done, but i am def a +1 for this idea. I find it weird that you are the first person to actually say something like this, i always thought of it but never asked lol
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rmoney:
same here, would definitely like to have this although I've never seen a mod like this.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ballerchris33:
Hmmm, that's intestersting. I'm using htc ime metamorph theme on swype, and I love it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] tdavis42:
Check out this Xda post for some cool modding of the HTC_ime keyboard Create your own keyboard
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bcgaynor82:
+1

I'd actually suggest to move this thread over to the development section - This haas more to do with custom dev than with theming or any specific app.

Basically what we're asking for is an orientation-dependent use of specific keyboards, right?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xaronax:
Yeah exactly. I can't imagine it's that hard, since every other keyboard out there has 2 different forms, one landscape and one portrait. It seems like it would just be a matter of taking the portrait portion of the Swype app, and the landscape from the stock, and mashing them together. I'm sure that getting the dictionary and word suggestion stuff to mesh will be tough, but it can't be very difficult compared to some of the other crazy stuff out there.

(I've seen Ubuntu running on my phone, ffs.) :D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] vantagejuan:
I like the creative thinking, but I don't get this idea at all. Swype in landscape is useless, but you can still just type on it like any other keyboard regardless of the orientation.

And, there's no way that you could legally take Swype's code and use it in a new apk. On top of that, no one with the insane coding ability that it would take would want to spend the countless hours doing it just to have a better landscape keyboard in swype. The only realistic possibility would be someone writing a program that sets separate keyboard defaults for landscape and portrait mode. But that sounds like a lot of hacking into android for, again, a feature that would have little benefit over just tap-typing with swype when it's in landscape mode.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xtort1417:
I actually think it would be very hard to impossible. The problem is that while every other keyboard out there has 2 different "forms" they are still the same program. Android uses XML layout files to define layouts, one is a regular layout, one is a landscape layout, but both run the same programming files on the back end. Swype and the Stock keyboards are VERY different programs. You could potentially create a layout that mimics one or the other, but if you used the base keyboard as your program, it would never support the swype functionality, only tapping keys. Not sure if this explained things well, but it would take quite a bit of coding to make this work, if you ever could.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bcgaynor82:
You make some good points. The Swype keyboard, is, after all, a regular keyboard at heart. The swyping bit is just a perk.

After some thought I agree it would be very difficult if not completely impossible to make a mashup like this. But from my perspective, if the Swype application could adopt multi-touch capability, that would be awesome.

When I end up typing landscape on the Swype keyboard, without Swyping, I find that my clumsy fat-fingered-ness would really benefit from multitouch capability.

These are the times I wish I was 1) 10k more times better at programming, and 2) had infinite time to tinker around.

[Touch HD General] lorcro2000:
I've been looking through the forums, searching my butt off, etc but I'm still unable to get where I want to go - so time to ask around. Hopefully it won't turn out I'm just a crappy searcher....

So! I really enjoy SPB Mobile Shell, especially after you slap a TouchFlo/Sense-like skin on it. It's faster and more customizable than Sense itself and looks great.

I'd also like to have a fresh WinMo 6.5 as a foundation for it.

Furthermore, I'd like for that WinMo to have the actual HTC controls - volume, dialer, preferrably even alarm settings and the proper Blackstone communications setup apps. I would not, however, want it to be polluted with lots of other crap like useless MS apps or PDF readers or whatever.

So, is there such a ROM? If there is not, but there is a super clean 6.5 ROM - has anyone extracted the HTC control apps (the actual ones for Blackstone, not some crappy HTC-like **** apps from 2008 which was all I could find) into cab form, and can they be found anywhere?

Thanks.
[Touch HD General] suxelexus:
Blackstone Henge Hyper 2.5 version 7 i think it is...pretty basic, stripped down version of windows 6.5. (not sure what ur referring to with actual htc control apps?) But, I'm using this RoMU now..running CHT to skin it, looks great, runs smooth. Only one possible issue--battery life seems to be rather poor compared to others Ive used equipped w/ far more application that required more performance from the OS. I'm looking for the prob/ solution. Perhaps too many cabs, as opposed to running a RoM with several of them already built into it...Anyway, could be what ur looking for.
[Touch HD General] lorcro2000:
Well, I was referring to having a "HTC Sense" looking dialer and volume controls etc as opposed to the exceedingly ugly ones that come with stock Windows Mobile. If you get a full-featured ROM you get the HTC communication manager, HTC dialer etc that look really nice compared to the stock. Those bits are the only ones I'd personally like in addition to the stock stuff though (and not even all of the stock stuff).

In the end I went for a very light ROM that did have Manila as well, then turned Manila off in the Today settings. It's not ideal, but it works pretty well and I have a fair amount of memory to play with still to install the apps I really want and none of the dreck I don't need.

It's a shame there's no ROM that is both very light, has the HTC apps like the dialer and comms manager and volume control etc and is built on a really fresh WinMo release... but this works I guess.
[Touch HD General] suxelexus:
-Hey mate, yea I see what ur saying. Still check out the Blackstone Henge RoM, it sounds like what ur looking for. Very stripped down, but still utilizing the finger friendly volume control, slider, dialer, and communication manager. But the RoM build has removed alot of useless, ram draining applications. Give it a go mate if ur up to it..may just suit ur needs. Good luck.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shehababbassi:
SO i finally decided to root my phone but i have a couple questions. my phone is pretty dam customized an di spent several hours doing it (ie- installed programs, have game save files, custom, desktops, ringtone, alerts, accounts, facebook contacts linked with gmail contacts...)

so first question- using backup pro or any other backup program if a backup is created once the phone is rooted can i run the restore to get all my programs and settings back?

also i know to root your phoen you need to overwrite the sd card. if i copy all my info off the sd card, can i copy it right back once the root is complete (ie- pics, game saves...)

anything esle i should know before rooting.

fyi- i have worked for several tyears as a windows,systems/network admin, so the technical part of rooting is not my question is the backup and recovery of the programs and settings and such

thanks in advance
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtoole1:
I am not an expert but maybe this answer can help.

As far as backing up and restoring, u should be fine with whatever program u use. Rooting just gives u super user access to the root directory, but doesn't actually overwrite anything that would prevent u from restoring programs u had backed up. Installing a custom rom however is more of re-writing of the underlying software, which then forces you to put a lot more effort back into restoring (i.e. home screen layout, widgets,...).

As far as your sd card, I didn't have to wipe or reformat mine when I rooted. In fact I am using the same card I had in my moto droid. I may have formatted to fat32 at one point back then, but I do not recall having to re-wipe when rooting my Dinc.

Hope this helps.

P.s. I also recommend switching to titanium backup once rooted. It is by far the best backup and restore utility out there. Also, u may want to post questions like this in the proper forum, not the dev forum. People tend to get peeved by improper posting. :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shehababbassi:
thanks

I'll repost in the correct spot. dont wanna ruffle any feathers. ya know its just i put so much work into customizing the phone i dont want to have to redo it. but as long as i document what i have done i should be able to redo it all myslef if the backup fails. the program i use it mybackup pro btw
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermanBrat:
All the back up apps require root. Rooting will not delete any of your data. Root and do a nandroid
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtoole1:
Not all backup apps require root, just the better ones. ;) I like titanium because it will save your customizations as well as your apps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shehababbassi:
so can someone briefly explain how they would go about- backing up, moving data off card, then rooting? (obv i dont need rooting instructions)

thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enomele:
I'm not a pro at this stuff but from my experience your worrying about stuff you really don't need to at this point. Rooting itself isn't gonna delete anything. It's just gonna give you more access to your phone. You still have the same radio, same hboot, and same OS version and kernel.

All I'm saying is download unrevoked3, root your phone, then first thing do a nandroid backup and boom your backed up. And after you boot it up download Titanium Backup and start backing up.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarrisonBP:
I have also been backing up my texts with SMS Backup. I haven't had any luck with just restoring data from titanium. But as they're saying, root is really the first step.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarrisonBP:
Also, with any new ROM I loose call log data. Anyone know a fix for that?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enomele:
Every time I flash a new Rom I do sms backup and restore, call log backup and restore, and apn backup and restore. All of which are from the same dev. Call logs backup and restore is what you are looking for but an apn backup is always handy.

For the last 6 months I've been hosting files for developers in the Eris section. I made the site to people wouldn't have to use all that MultiUpload crap, got sick of the waiting 60 seconds to download a file, entering a verification code, etc etc.

Anyways, the site's worked well. You can direct link to your files, upload everything via a simple web interface.

I just thought I'd offer the site to developers in other forums now. :)

Anyways, if you're interested in using it to host your files, just make a username on the site real quick, shoot me a PM, and I'll give it upload permissions.

And no, this isn't an advertisement or anything. :) People in the Eris section have just liked using the website over MultiUpload, so I thought I'd offer to let other people use my bandwidth as well.
