Am I seeing things, or are they both exactly the same card????

Reason is, I am looking for a bigger card, not a stupidly fast class 10 that will have zero benefit in the HD2....currently got a 2gb card, but was going to upgrade to a 4gb, coz if i'm away for the day, be it fishing, or what ever else, I tend to ram my card full of video clips..so need more space.....but 29.99 for a 16gb seems VERY cheap and it's a good make, Sandisk...but surely i'm seeing things or there's some difference for RIPoff Warehouse to be over TWENTY QUID cheaper than Argos for exactly the same thing???

Can someone do me a favour and have a clicky on the links and confirm they are the same etc...seems to good to be true?!?!??

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaccers:
Several reasons most likely for the price difference, CPW probably buys more so can negotiate a lower price, also CPW customers are more likely to be tech-savvy and shop around online for the best deal (this is why PCW/DSG would scan the web for similar products and reduce their prices to £1 less).

Argos has a reputation for over pricing some of it's things, actually a few years back it had a reputation for over pricing all of it's things, and then before that for being cheap and cheerful.

Hello to all You developers out there.

I hope, that you can help me with understanding the Android Looper.

I have implemented a Service, which is intended to speak to a web Service and a database. This Service has a MainThread where it should do its work. I planned to communicate over Android Handler Objects. So I spend this Service two Handler: One for the Service and One for the Thread which is bound over the Android Looper

The MainThread Looks like this:
[Android Software Development] Ruffstaarr:
Sorry. The Forum seems to disallow me to post Source with the message: as a new user I'm not allowed to post links. But i don't have some in the initially post.

Anyway, let me describe my simple Thread.

It declares a handler which is instansiated in the overridden run Method between looper.prepare and looper.loop.

The it has a simple getHandler Method.

My question now is:

If I call the thread.start in the onCreate method of the Service, do the bloopers start infinitely looping like a while(true) statement? Or only if a message is passed through the handler which is my preferred behavior.

Do I have to use looped.quit to wait, because i don't found a activate method of the looper.

Am happy for any hint since the API for looper doesn't enlightened me
[Android Software Development] Ruffstaarr:
public class MainThread extends Thread{

private Handler looperHandler;
public MainThread(){
super();
}

@Override
public void run(){
Looper.prepare();
looperHandler = new Handler(){
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message message){

}
};
Looper.loop();
}

public Handler getHandler(){
return this.looperHandler;
}

public void stopThread(){
looperHandler.getLooper().quit();
}
}
[Android Software Development] Ruffstaarr:
Hmm I think if noone knows how this Android.Looper or the HandlerThread is working, how can my Service Communicate with my Activity without using IPC?

I need a simple CallBack from my Handler to my Activity.

The thing I try to do is, to get a Background Thread, which is not infinetly looping, but I can Activate it to do different work. After the work is finished my Service should be able to pass Message or Intent Objects.

I read the hole day Android API and know I'm completely lost.

please give me a hint.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squrl:
Hi,

first of all, allow me to apologize that I am posting this into dev section instead of Q&A, but IMHO this topic is strongly tied with actual development and its not just a simple newbie question. If you disagree, please contact a mod with a request to move this thread to Q&A. Thanks.

Now lets cut to the chase. I am trying to alter some images inside the SystemUI.apk that was introduced with GB, mainly I want a semi-transparent statusbar. Problem is, when I modify the resources, rebuild the apk file using apktool and sign it using testsign, the modified package gets ingnored by the system because of shared UID certificate mismatch. If I understand it correctly, I must find the package using the shared UID and resign it with the same certificate as the modified SystemUI.apk. Am I right? If so, how can I determine the package apk file based only on the knowledge of its shared UID? If I'm totally wrong, please, correct me.

Thanks a lot,

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] CarsnGadgets:
edit: Sorry, Seems this only works with Zeam Launcher at the moment

and you need the option checked in preferences/workspace to manage

wallpapers internally.

If you want to create a wallpaper in photoshop for your 101,

so that the whole of your image is shown in landscape mode.

(without using multipicture or similar).

All android phones etc take the width of the screen in pixels when it is in

portrait mode and double it (to allow for the paralax scrolling effect you

get when you flip through your homescreens). The height is just the screen

height in pixels.

So on the 101 this is 1200 pixels (2 x 600 pixels) by 1024 pixels.

However, as the tablets are normally viewed in landscape and not portrait

like a phone, this isnt very good.

For some reason Archos havent accounted for this, that is why, even though

you select the whole (or part) of your chosen wallpaper with the 'crop' tool

when applying a wallpaper, It never shows all of your picture.

I have been playing around with a few tests and have worked out the exact dimensions

in pixels of the portion that is actually shown on your 1200x1024 pixel homescreen.

if you follow the instructions below, you can show all the chosen image on the

homescreen:

1. open your chosen image

2. select the crop tool and set it to a fixed size of 978 x 570 pixels and 72 dpi

3. crop your image

4. choose your background colour with the eyedropper tool (it wont be seen when

applied, I used black though)

5. go to edit, canvas size, and set the reference point to the centre so that it adds

canvas all around the image

6. set the new canvas size to 1200 x 1024 pixels, click ok

7. save the image as a jpg

You will now have your wallpaper. Tranfer it to your archos via usb and apply the wallpaper.

Hope you find that useful

mine looks like this before you apply it.

but only shows the image when applied.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] d31b0y:
Nicely done. It'll come in handy.

I assume that the image has a black border above and below when viewed in portrait?

Also, that's a nice background. I think I shall yoink it :P
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] CarsnGadgets:
your welcome.

yes it does unfortunately, but I hardly ever put mine in portrait when using the homescreens.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] d31b0y:
Hey, I tried your image, but it didn't work for me. It shows a black bar in landscape along the top.

I notice the the image dimensions are 1023x873. I know it's asking a lot, but would you be able to upload the image as an attachment rather than an image? I don't wanna go editing an already edited image. Photocopy of a photocopy as such. I know I won't be able to crop it perfectly. No Photoshop installed on my work computer. :)

Thanks!

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] dsimages:
Seems as if you have found one way.... but there is another....

Im using very large images around 2500 x 1400 or so, then resizing them to around 1200 x 650 (somewhere in that area so that the image doesnt stretch).

I also sharpen the image alittle too much to give a better resolution effect.

I then use the multipicturelivewallpaper app to apply the image as the default wallpaper using the "show entire image" option.

Im using adw EX with the wallpaper scrolling OFF.

In landscape it works perfect, vertically is not too bad but obviously you cannot see the left and right farthest sides of the image. There are not black bars to be seen though.. The only time i ever turn the a101 vertical is when reading and ebook...which is never..

There is a theme thread here is your interested. I have also posted over 100 wallpapers pack that you can download. I have already resized them and listed a download link the the mplw.apk.

example....
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] CarsnGadgets:
thanks.

I was trying to find a way that meant not having to use a live wallpaper (which multipicture is) or additional app to get it working, but I really appreciate the link.

by the way, your dropbox link seems to be broken though, I cant get the wallpaper pack.

Behold... a long awaited partitioning guide ;)

WARNING! This GUIDE is to actually learn something not just to copy/paste commands!
[Legend Android Development] Learners Lisence:
Blayo,

thanks for the post. You always manage to take things to an entirely different level of understanding :)

Is this guide for the successful implementation of the latest data2ext scripts in roms ? in comparison to methods like the Rom Manager and partition through recovery ?
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
No, it is general guide to better understand partitioning etc.
[Legend Android Development] Dr.Romca:
I totally agree! After going through parted I think it's the best way to partition your SD, you have complete control!

I can't wait will my new SD card arrives, and give this a shot!

The Kingston 16GB class 10 sucks even when set-up to the best parameters and the reason for that is simple: Although class 10, it is like 4 times slower than my 8GD sandisk mobile ultra Class 4 when random writing and 3 times slower when reading...

So Thanks BlaY0 for this cool guide/lesson ;)

Sorry Blay0 but Linux is another Word for me...
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Thanx, I have changed that.

If you have busybox on your phone you also have mke2fs or mkfs.ext2 as these two are part of it. If you have CM based ROM there should already be standalone e2fsprogs in /system/bin directory and if you have a stock based one, you can find mke2fs_recvy + e2fsck_recvy in /system/bin directory. In B ROM you have all e2fsprogs available in /system/xbin directory.

its ok, before you replied i tried doing it in recovery and i believe it worked, but i think i missed a digit in my partitioning and it was only 98mb for my fat drive instead of about 988 or something (1gb) so ill try it again and let you know

EDIT: ok yeah i had the digits wrong so now its formatted/partitioned correctly. now im gonna apply the data2ext thing and see what happens. i didnt actually do anything about my darktremor a2sd so ive probably got bits and pieces of all my apps missing but if **** starts to screw up ill just put a fresh copy of cm on since ive ruined all my apps basically already

EDIT: alright its working, thanks heaps!
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
DT has some commands to disable itself.

As for mkfs.vfat... it is part of busybox but not necesarily. There are several versions lying around the internets. Type just "busybox" and you'll see all the utils available in it.

[TG01 General] staticxx:
OK, so i have an LG optimus one, and i can trade it for a TG01. Is it worth it? Going from android to WM, and from capacitive to resistive?

But TG01 has 1gb procesor, and a 4.1 inch screen vs the 3.2 screen on the LG.
[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
Ouch!

What a question mate!

a) 1gz processor - worth trading

b) 4.1 inch screen - worth trading

c) light weight - worth trading

d) sleeker design - worth trading

e) thinnest 1gz processor phone (I've known) - worth trading

f) multitasking - worth trading

g) toughness - I have dropped it at least 14 times (am counting yes!) not a single scratch or damage - worth trading

h) customization (oh yes!) - I will die if I can't customize and tweak my phone - worth trading

BUT

It's windows 6.5 or 6.5.5 (using one of the custom roms) - Windows 7 is out already. Are you ready to trade for an OS which might not be supported at all in few months? Windows 6.5 is already down sized to few pages on Microsoft website.

HOWEVER, XDA itself is a huge Microsoft replacement where you can keep TG01alive definitely, without Microsoft's support.

Android - not a complete OS according to me. It's still in development, but so is every other OS out there.

Resistive screen - I LOVE it - only reason being, I can possible take any object around me and get tapping on the screen, but with capacitive - you will kill it!

The list will keep going on and on and on ..especially when more users show their input. The main question is - Economically is it what you can afford? What will you use for phone for?

Have a look on the polls in my signature, you will see what 'we' use our TG01s for ;)

[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
its up too you. imho, i find the resustive screen alright, but sometimes when i switch from my Orange San Francisco, or ipod, i forget and have to tap my tg01 screen much harder!

My friend has a lg optimus. the screen sensitivity is alright. i wouldn't say it is the best capacitive screen, so if you switch to the TG01 there won't be too much noticable difference ;)
[TG01 General] g3nesisEXIA:
lol @ cheating on exams. The TG01s snapdragon should help in that for internet purposes. I have tried both resistive and capacitive and even though i own a TG01 (whose resistive screen isnt bad at all), i prefer capacitive screens. In the games dept. i would think that android has more support for it.

and a quick advantage list-

TG01-

-Snapdragon processor (1ghz vs 600mhz)

-4.1 inch screen (definitely the best from all the wm ive seen :eek:)

-WVGA(480x800) vs HVGA(320x480)

-VGA@30fps (vs VGA @18fps)

-9.9mm thin (vs 13.3mm thin, but the optimus one is less wide and tall)

-True multitasking(while i believe android stops the app where you were, which is not as bad as it sounds)

Optimus One-

-double the RAM (512 vs 256)

-3.5mm jack built in (usually tg01 comes with adapter, but having a jack is just that much better) ;)

-capactive screen (usually an advantage)

-a not dead OS thats (officially from GSMarena)2.3 upgradeable and seemingly more XDA support (from what i see we have a few ROM makers and android development is on hiatus atm)

-i would assume that this has better battery life (bigger battery 1500 vs 1000 mah, use the start menu mod for the tg01 if you want your phone to last half a day at least)

thats all i can think of right now. plus compared to android, imho windows mobile wont be as easy to get into right away as android, but its not too bad.
