[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
This is really cool to browse around, spent about 45 minutes last night on it. Crashed twice on me, both times after switching orientation so probably related to that.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Just because you can or others do, doesn't mean you should.....
[Android Apps and Games] masterdevx:
Thank you for your feedbacks ;)

Intensive tests are made on the emulator, on Nexus One/Froyo+Eclair & HTC Legend Froyo. It's ok for the moment :-)

Some force close appears notably due to "out of memory error" on some devices ...optimization difficulty with images management that we're working on :o

If any ...you can retrieve your recent visited paintings (recent button on main) & galleries (on gallery tab/menu/gallery/previous) :p
[Android Apps and Games] masterdevx:
Ok for switching orientation error; we'll have an eye on these transitions. Which device /android version / QuintessArt version ? (your signature mention Nexus One )

Which activity ? slideshow/gallery/quiz ?

you can send bug report if you want (with report button on froyo message when force close) or with some apps like "bug reporter" to

thanks for the feedbacks ;)

Thumbnails that have not been downloaded aldready appear with an orange arrow (download invite; the choice for the user to download or not). You have several ways to download these thumbnails and so to preview paintings before downloading them.

There are more than 1600 paintings and you can download thumbnails (for paintings, painters and currents) and pictures, one-by-one (each thumbnail is around 3Ko and each painting is around 500Ko) or part of them or whole with different possibilities.

[Galaxy Tab General] mariotenuta:
Hi guys,

I am in the midst of deciding between the tab and ipad. I really want the tab because of the endless features it has over the ipad. However the main reason I want a tablet is for typing notes in classes and lectures. I tried the ipad and it is fantastic to type but than tried the galaxy and had a hard time trying to type quickly.

I really want the tab but how can i overcome this problem?

thanks

mario
[Galaxy Tab General] slopokdave:
Well the screen isn't going to grow...

However, were you using the regular stock keyboard? There are other keyboard options out there, you may want to try to install some of these and see if it helps you.

Other than that, I'm not sure you are going to be able to overcome this "limitation."
[Galaxy Tab General] mariotenuta:
OK. Im guessing that is my only option or get a bluetooth keyboard. Are there actually better keyboards that will improve two hand typing?
[Galaxy Tab General] risq:
I can type fine and fast on my galaxy tab it just takes a bit of getting used to. Also the latest firmware has an even better keyboard allowing for you to type even faster. Ive written this in less than a minute.

Just to add the keyboard dock is brilliant. Should fit in a side bag no problem as well so its very handy.

Cheers,
[Galaxy Tab General] mariotenuta:
That is great news!!! so you think writing notes at lectures or doing a paper wont be a problem?
[Galaxy Tab General] risq:
No I don't think it will be. As with anything though, it takes a bit of getting used to. At first I was slow but I can already type very quickly with very few errors.

If it's going to be a long lecture, I would recommend getting the bluetooth keyboard dock though, as it will save your fingers some life!

I've got the keyboard dock and at first I got some strange looks taking it into meetings writing minutes, but it sits perfectly on your lap and you can type to your hearts content.

I'd say no tablet is perfect for long lectures, but the Galaxy is definately more comfortable in the long run. Its also more portable.

The device is getting better and better each firmware release.
[Galaxy Tab General] mariotenuta:
Perfect thanks again for the help . Should be getting it by Friday!
[Galaxy Tab General] iLoveGoogle:
I am someone who is no droid or appl fan boy, i just use what works best. I had an iPad which i gave to my cousin after buying the galaxy tab, and i absolutely LOVE the keyboard on the galaxy tab. I use 2 thumbs in portrait mode with "smart keyboard" - Swype BLOWS on the galaxy tab, but smart keyboard has an amazing word prediction so usually i just type the first couple of letters and the word i want 99% of the time is waiting to be clicked. Granted that might take some getting used to, but ive been using that keyboard on my phone for over a year, and moving it to the tab only made it easier and faster for me.

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy Tab General] mariotenuta:
funny you mention smartkeyboard I was just reading about the update that just came out. thanks again!
[Nook Color General] madsquabbles:
some apps (aldiko and is suppose superuser) need to access db files to operate correctly. is there any way to install sqlite or is this something we need to add into a custom rom?
[Nook Color General] mrschwarz:
You stated that this is required for Aldiko. If this application is installed on the NC, will that solve the problem with Aldiko remembering the chapter that was being read, but not the page?
[Nook Color General] gmanvbva:
Isn't it already installed?

I thought i remember reading that one of the fixes for installing apps was to pull a sqlite db, run a script to set a new value to allow apps and then push it back.

sent from my NookColor
[Nook Color General] duloz:
Have you tried sqlite editor? It is a paid app on the market... I got to it by trying to open a DB file from root explorer when Modding for installing apps from SD.
[General Questions and Answers] manup0d:
Hey guys, after a full afternoon of searching I turn to you for help.

As the title says, I'm looking for a way to stream my Win System Sound to my SGS. Not specific media like movies or music, the entire Master Mix. Either through an App or through a Windows Server of some kind.

I already tried VLC Stream & Convert but failed miserably setting it up to capture and stream my Desktop correctly - got just the image, no sound. Also couldn't get it so stream a captured DirectShow Device, for the simple reason that my Win-VLCPlayer can't seem to find any.

Any hints on how to get it working or links on further reading are much appreciated.

manup0d
[General Questions and Answers] manup0d:
Managed to get it working, kinda.

For those interested: The problem with the DirectShow Device streaming through VLC is the original Windows7 audio driver for Sound On Board Mainboards. You have to install the Vista driver to be able to select the Stereo Mix as a Recording Device. DRM says hello. With the Vista codec you just select "Capture DirectShow" in VLC Stream & Convert and voila. (pro version is needed)

The issue now is the six second lag I get even over WiFi. XD

Have to play around with the transcoding and codec settings. Any advice or other solutions?
[General Questions and Answers] bemymonkey:
Hi Manup0d!

Could you give me a few pointers on how you got this working with VLC Stream & Convert?

All I get is... well, nothing. I suppose I have the same audio driver issue - where did you get the Vista driver? Or did you just download your sound card manufacturer's Vista driver set and install that?

Have you found any possibility other than VLC, by any chance?

I'd love to be able to do this, for listening to music with one of the many Winamp Remote Control apps...

-edit- Works on Windows 7 if you use "Virtual Audio Cable" as the sound device (just set it as the default device or set it as the audio device in the app you're trying to hear audio from), then run VLC Stream & Convert regularly and use "Open Input => DirectShow".

The delay really is annoying though - between 5 and 15 seconds on WiFi :(. Have you found a way to get rid of, or at least reduce the delay? Anything under 5 seconds would be fine :)

Hi,

Is the phone in my house to repair the XP installed on my computer and work on my computer, I installed win7 Even though I try to update every time the computer software in preparing the section "components to load or update the phone software can not start" error remains, giving a half (before the phone off and back without the error, press I wear every time you install the drivers for the usb cable to hold the computer was crashing) now how to fix it, this error caused by the phone that is active in the root superuser mode of operation?

try to run thr program in administrator mode, by right click on your mouse
[XPERIA X8 General] cimatron:

Saw this on Lifehacker for using Chrome on PC as a file browser (link).

I have a bunch of huge .txt files I sync back and forth (through dropbox) that the text editor app I use (Text Edit) has trouble with so I thought, would this work on Android too?

Indeed it does!

In the Android Browser: file://sdcard/dropbox/<file>.txt

And boom! It works! :eek: Yes! Near-instant searching within huge text files, finally! :D

Anyway, posting in case anyone else might need this functionality. :cool:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbcholdings:
I'm pretty sure I have these items in the correct order to "Permaroot" my MT4G and begin using Clockworkmod to load ROMs (and or/also want to be able to back up my default ROM)

My current attempts:

Downloaded and installed: VISIONary, from android.modaco.com, sorry I can't post actual links (VISIONary+, most recent version) was no longer avalible in the market so I had to install it from the URL)

Downloaded and installed "Clockwordmod" from the Market.

Put the phone into USB-Debugging mod, and disabled fast boot.

VISIONary+ question: I setup TEMPROOT, and "Root on Boot", assuming I would than be able to boot into "Recovery mode" via "Clockworkmod"

The phone reboots, and I'm assuming that would boot into "Root" **Root on boot** (Yes I know the temp. should fail after a reboot, but I thought, I'll stay away from "Permaroot" for now). However, I don't get to any sort of recovery mode, instead I get a screen with a triangle and exclamation in red, and that's it, it just hangs there, I'm thinking that this is just USB-Debugging, and I'm not achieving recovery mode, so this must be the result of not booting into a root mode.

Going back to VISIONary+, I attempt to "Permaroot", the phone's homescreen goes blank and nothing happens. The phone eventually turns itself off but doesn't reboot, subsequently, I must restart it manually, again, I'm not sure if I've achieved anything?

Advice, suggestions? Would be very appreciated. :confused:

Questions that might explain what's wrong?

Even in USB-Debugging mode, should I be connected to a PC via USB-Cable during all of this?

Any thoughts on why the PERMAROOT fails, or the "Root on boot" fails to get me to "Recovery mode"?

Last thing, I get a complaint from "Clockworkmod" when loading, that my SD Card must be mounted (which I'm assuming it isn't due to USB-Debugging mode and/or being connected to the PC) So should I get a good charge and disconnect from the PC while attempting all this? Fixed, disconnected USB-Cable, and mounted SD card in settings, this stopped this error

Also, I'm interested in backing up my default ROM ASAP as a safety-net in-case I screw something up. Is this possible via recovery mode in "Clockworkmod"? Links to advice on doing this?

Thanks everyone! Great board!

I followed it exactly but I still get the Red Exclamation Point. I have rooted my phone s-off and I have superuser and rom manager. I did the Flash Clockwork Recovery but when I reboot into recovery I get Red Exclamation Point then when I click vol up and power the next says " E:Can't open /cashe/recovery/command " What should I do??
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slhpss:
You can NOT flash clockwork without S-OFF and the red triangle is recovery. It is stock recovery if you press volup+power you will see the menu

Apply sdcard:update.zip

I get stuck at the hboot screen and when I click recovery the phone just reboots and takes me back to the hboot screen. I flashed alternate recovery via rom manager. Any idea of what's going on here?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
Your recovery is most likely jacked up.

Best way to fix it at this point is to reinstall the recovery either by fastboot or PC36IMG.zip file.

Get the amon recovery image, insert it into a PC36img.zip file for your version number (it needs the android info file for the correct version and hboot), delete all other files, place it on sdcard root and then boot into bootloader, choose to update.
