I use Aldiko. I believe the premium version is just a way to donate to the developer. At least when I purchased it last year that was the case. I also emailed the developer about adding a sync function between android devices, like a phone and a tablet and he said they were working on it for a future release.

ezPDF Reader - remembers last page!

This 'new' app I got free from Amazon's App store. The interface is better than Adobe and most others I've tried.

The key selling point is it remembers your last page so you don't need to search for where you left off. Another really cool feature is it shows the cover image of the book in the file mananger. (caveat - it only shows image after the PDF has been opened the first time. It won't appear until you've opened the book. Not a big deal for me!)

Cheers m8s!

[General Questions and Answers] sanjaboy:
I have a US Cellular Samsung Mesmerize, and I had issues with its, and to make the long story short, I bricked my phone. So I used ODIN to put the stock files for the Verizon Samsung Fascinate, and now my phone is a Samsung Fascinate. Everything seems to be running good, except I cannot my google account, because it says I have "no data services," but everything seems to be working fine, I can download .apk files via my computer and put them on my SD card and install apps that way. So i do have data services, but I think my phones just doesnt recognize that I do, is there a way to fix this? Because Market doesn't work, unless I have my google account linked with the servers........any suggestions? thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] 123SIT:
Why Verizon

Why'd you flash the fascinate rom to it. I just switched a verizon to uscc and it worked fine so far. Your gonna need to flash the modem.bin from a uscc rom though to make ur data work i think. I would just head over to the mesmerize forum and grab a rom and use odin to flash that.

Hi everyone,

This is my first post in this forum.

I am an ASP.NET developer, normally using Visual Studio and C# for development.

I am trying to develop an Android program, for the first time and spending time for researching from scratch.

I know that the developing language is JAVA, and Eclipse is the tool to develop.

What I am trying to develop is an Android program, used in Galaxy Tab.

The program should open a camera, and the user could take a picture and store it on the harddrive. Also this program should have some buttons, and when clicked the user could see different videos stored in the disk. Opening the camera, clicking the buttons should be touch screen.

Does this program seems to be hard to develop? Any advice is welcome :)

Thanks in advance!
[General Topics] dbzfanatic:
I suggest starting here http://hackaday.com/2010/07/12/android-development-101-–-a-tutorial-series/ They cover basic concepts as well as some more advanced ones. It'll give you a good way to ease into JAVA and since you already do programming you'll probably be able to skip some of the more obvious steps. As for your specific app it shouldn't be that difficult to develop, I personally only did very little JAVA programming but there are code sources all over and if you need something specific to a device just ask in the appropriate forum.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Evo_Shift:
This is the first smart phone I have ever had the enjoyment of using. I intend to root the phone so that I can get rid of the junk I don't want and enable the features that should be included on my phone.

My question, what do I have to do to not be forced into an OTA update? When I go to the Update menu setting I see no option to ignore updates. Also, is there a setting to not get notified of the updates? Like I had a required OTA voicemail update that I am unsure of how to ignore. Thanks
[EVO Shift 4G General] vampir4997:
As far as i know the voicemail update should be fine. From wgat ive read its just to have voicemail to text. Jyst dont check for updates. If they come up automatically it usually asjs if you wan it
[EVO Shift 4G General] wardfan220:
You cannot ignore the voicemail update. It adds text-to-speech and is mandatory for all Sprint handsets with VVM. There is a way to shut off the updates under settings/about phone I believe, I haven't gotten mine turned on yet, just got it minutes ago, I'll edit with more specifics if you need.
[EVO Shift 4G General] kenvan19:
You will be prompted to do an OTA and if you are a custom rom you will not even get the prompt. However, if you end up wanting the OTA you will have to revert to complete stock. Any removed stock apps can potentially screw up the update process. Generally though its just fine to wait until the devs cook up something with the update and then just use their releases. If it is a necessary update someone will release it in the form of a flashable zip and you won't need to worry about updating OTA =)
[EVO Shift 4G General] Osin83:
Turning off OTA's

way back when before I rooted my hero I had to go through the hassle of reverting to a previous android version in order to root because i naively accepted the OTA update. Trying to avoid this on my shift.

I went into "settings" -> "system updates" -> "HTC software updates" and unchecked the box for "Scheduled Check".

Is this enough to turn off my OTA updates or would the update come from Sprint and have nothing to do with HTC updates?
[EVO 4G General] tokuzumi:
Whenever I try to do a nandroid back up of my phone, using the Nand + ext backup, I always get the error "run 'nandroid-mobile.sh' via adb!" Looking via google, this would indicate my SD card is low on space. I have a 16 gb card, with 7.4 gb free, and my nandroids would be in the 500 mb range. I can do a nandroid without the ext partition just fine. I only get that message when I try to do an ext backup. I'm on CM6 nightly 203 (6.1.2).

How do I backup my apps installed on the SD card via Amon RA (v 1.8.0)?

yup

that 1GHz is the recommended one its not the minimum requirement
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Every phone that can run froyo can run gingerbread
[Galaxy 3 General] reddead66:
Ok....2.3 can work on our phone;great but i think it's going to be too laggy.

Anyways why isn't a 2.3 rom made yet.

Where can I find 2.3 android (Gingerbread) for the galaxy apollo??
[Galaxy 3 General] jazux:
gingerbread isnt available and it wont be available by samsung
[Galaxy 3 General] jazux:
there is no 2.3 rom cuz it would take a lot of work and only samsung or the karma team could do it.... all the roms that are available now like JPF, JPM, JPA, JPB are roms from SAMSUNG! and no it wouldnt be laggy... does froyo lag? no! then gingerbread wont lag either.... hope you get it! :D

Hi,

From experience in galaxy 5 that has a 600mhz CPU

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cengator:
In the description for many ROMs devs say they are optimized, zipaligned, de/odexed, etc. What do they mean by optimized? In other words, what are different ways other than zipaligning and odexing that a ROM could be modified for better performance?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
Zipaligning helps with RAM, I use a script to zipalign every time my phone boots

Deodexed I believe makes it so u can remove system apps...ect

Overall it speeds up the phone. Try the odexed and the deodexed versions of the stock Rom. U will see a difference
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cengator:
Thanks. Yeah, I know what zipalign and deodexing are. If a dev says his rom is "optimized, zipaligned, and deodexed," he is doing something additional besides those two. I'm wondering what that might be.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfiniti9:
Generally image optimization. Although some dev's actually do improvements such as stripping the extra localizations. Stock images are already optimized unless you edit them, well all the ones I've check anyway.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morph3k:
i do all kinds of stuff and still don't know what zipaligned means/does
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incubus26jc:
When devs say they optimized there rom or framework etc... It means they ran a tool such as apk manager (what I use) to compress all the images in an apk to be the smallest size they can get them without losing quality. This will speed up the build for maximum performance and less ram usage.

Other people say there apks are Reengineered. This means that there apks have all unused lanuages removed for even better performance.

Odexing means Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes). Odexed builds such as stock roms cannot be themed for the most part.

Zipalign is an archive alignment tool introduced first time with 1.6 Android SDK (software development kit). It optimizes the way an Android application package (APK) is packaged. Doing so enables the Android operating system to interact with the application more efficiently, and hence has the potential to make the application and overall the whole system much faster. Execution time is minimized for zipaligned applications, resulting is lesser amount of RAM consumption when running the APK.

Hope this helps,

Incubus
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cengator:
Wow! Thank you very much! That is very informative. Regarding deodexing, other optimizations being equal, would an odexed rom have greater performance than a deodexed rom?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid>iPhone:
What does the difference in framework mean?

I found this website( http://androidforums.com/incredible-roms/155282-incredible-rom-list.html ) to try and find some new roms to use, because i'm stuck at the white screen of death on my Dinc. See this post if you want to help ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1023358 )

BUT my actual question is what does framework mean? Are all of those "frameworks" listed compatible with my phone? I know that the Dinc uses the "Sense UI"...are these the same? Can I install "vanilla" framework ROMS on my Droid Incredible? If I do, is there certain things that won't work? Sorry for all the newbish questions, but I'm already soft bricked and want to know before I go messing around with stuff again. Seems I only knew just enough to get me into trouble and bring me to a white screen, and I don't want to do further damage.

Thanks a ton.
[Legend General] CommanderWafflez:
I've been getting the SD card was unexpectedly removed error for my 8GB card. Can repeat this issue by moving pocket god (or several smaller apps) to the SD card. I can how ever copy 8GB worth of data from a PC onto it, so is this issue with android/my phone or is the SD card just acting weird like this? A 2GB I got with it works just fine, just it isn't large enough to suit my needs.

Things I've tried - erasing card within android, formating to fat32 within windows as well as defragging, and threatening it with magnets.

Phone is HTC Legend running "Gingerbread + CyanogenMod". Download the ROM from derhofbauer.at/android/

Later;

Now when I copy it through the phone usb it now dismounts, but I can copy it fine through an adapter I'm using. Seems this is phone related. Will try using my default firmware tomorrow when I get time. Any suggestions here are welcome and encouraged... Really like the way this ROM looks as well as functions
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
It may well be the ROM, I saw some stuff on gerrit about fixing it. Check with BlaY0's ROM (or similar) or CM 6.1, see what happens
[Legend General] CommanderWafflez:
Is there a way I could go about backing up my exact settings, contacts, apps etc. into my own custom rom so if it isn't the ROM I use I could quickly go back? Still a complete idiot with android so haven't figured out theming yet and like my current ROMs look

edit;

If it was my ROM wouldn't my 2 GB one be acting up as well? Cause it's working perfectly fine, I plan on trying to return the SD card tomorrow but got a feeling they won't accept it back...
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
It might not, 2GB card is most probably SD aka SD 1.x, 8GB is SDHC aka SD 2.0...It might be related...

To backup your settings and ROM I would recommend backing it all up with nandroid (CWM, FakeFlash) or if you want to, you can ue some apps like Titanium Backup, My backup etc...but backing-up/restoring settings/home screens might not work across ROMs, especially going from Stock-like to CM...Contact are saved via your Google account any synchronized afterwards anyway, so don't worry there ;-)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinbeau:
I am going to reflash Serendipity 3.5.2 tonight. I backed up with MyBackupPro, but it didn't restore all of my apps and data - but SMS worked with that backup. I then restored my TB and my texting problem returned - I can't send any texts, but I can receive them. I get a messaging forced closed every time I try to send one.

My question is, can I go through that TB backup somehow and delete any reference to messaging and restore after that? How would one go through their backup and make this change? I want to restore with TB because it did a better job, but I don't want the problem back. Suggestions??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alabamaroping:
TiBu

I'd recommend Titanium Backup.

When you restore, only restore "Missing apps with data".

Restoring SMS stuff is a "system" function, and will not be restored. Then, you can go thru the list and VERY SELECTIVELY pick system items you do want restored, such as wifi access points, widgets, accounts, etc.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinbeau:
Thank you for your help. What I need to know is how to selectively pick system items?

The other thing is I selected 'missing apps with data, yet still this messaging problem came back. I have deleted GO SMS completely, I'm not convinced it didn't cause my problems. I ran the batch operation to delete the deleted apps from the backup. I would really like to get rid of anything messaging before I restore this time, if that's possible. I see several possibilities:

I believe the theme ones are for GO SMS, so they're probably ok to not bother with, but those first eight I think need to go. Can I delete them within TB somehow?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CuriousTech:
In TiBu system apps are red, system data is green, 3rd party is white.

The only reason to restore a system app is if you uninstalled it. Don't restore a system app from a previous ROM on a newer ROM. Don't restore system data from older Android versions (i.e. 2.1 -> 2.2) because the data format may be different. If you know you need settings for a system app, restore data only. Test it, and if it fails, go back and delete only data. There's a "Wipe data" for those.

The green ones are what you're most likely interested in. Tap one, hit restore. It's that easy. If you don't know what it does, stop there, exit TiBu and test everything to find what changed. If something stops working, go back to that item in TiBu and uninstall it (Green items only) and it should work again.

But before doing any of that, a nandroid backup will save lots of time of you crash the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinbeau:
Ok, so basically I'd have to go through and restore one by one - tedious, but may be necessary. I was hoping I'd be able to delete files from the backup and then run the batch. Well, to keep texting I think that's what I'll have to do. I do have a Nandroid backup of my Assonance installation (but that may have the texting problem in it, too, it started on Assonance). Thank you so much for the help!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2snowboards88:
I always restore"all missing apps with data". Then I selectively restore wifi access points and widgets. Sometimes the widgets don't restore properly, but I've never had it cause any problems.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinbeau:
ee, that's the problem, I didn't restore system data, I restored apps and data - and somehow my previous texting problem appeared again. When I flashed last night, texting worked. Eureka, I was thrilled. But all of my stuff wasn't back. I set the path for my TB backup on my external card, did my restore, and no more texting. Very frustrating. I want my data, but I may end up starting from scratch, or going one by one as CuriousTech has suggested.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CuriousTech:
Right. It's really pretty quick once you get the hang of it.

Backup all user apps + system data.

Restore missing apps with data. Go through and uncheck anything you don't need, then let it run. Often times I do a restore of app+data of apps I know have important data, then again with app only of games and such, but it's not necessary.

Then manually go through the green items.
