Another potential bug

I manually asked TaskIdentifier to stop monitoring and although it says 'stopped' on the Current Monitor State in the app menu screen, I am still getting process start notifications and screen-off notifications. System Panel reports that TI is still active and using CPU.

Additional: Using version 1.0.5 Beta on a HTC Desire Z

Thanks for this analysis tool for my phone
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
So now that I've been using this app for a few days, I'm considering uninstalling.

I mean, with all the information about tasks starting up all the time, I'm wondering... What do you DO with this information now?

How does this information help?
[Android Apps and Games] ccossin:
The update is adding permissions. One of the comments on the market says it is staying connected to a 3rd party website on port 80 and sucking up bandwidth.

This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
[Android Apps and Games] gogol:
I still don't understand how to gather information from this app.

The app only says .. com.xxx GREEN ... com.yyy GREEN

It does not mean anything.

???
[Android Apps and Games] elburna:
You just use TI to watch which Apps start without you wanting it and then use "Autostarts" to deny them the permission to start randomly. Saves p.ex. battery

Here's a screenshot of the new II. Thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] gogol:
Where do I see that?
[Android Apps and Games] elburna:
??? TI always informs you when an App starts. "autostarts" is an extra App which works good in combination with TI...

...via Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
A) Why not use the Autokill function within Task Identifier?

B) And what happens when you manually launch the app; will it get autokilled?
[Android Apps and Games] elburna:
La

With autostarts you can even deny the start of the App for certain circumstances. P.ex. WiFi status changes --> therefore miren browser starts in background (dont know why but it is so) --> you can exactly deny this permission for an App with autostarts. Taskkillers on the other hand will always screw Up androids own task- and memory management.

And before you setup Autostarts, you check with TI which Apps DO start on their own. I've now a perfect setup (which took quite a bit of time) but no unwanted Apps start in BF anymore and my battery drains noticeably slower...

BUT: you really need to think first which Apps are allowed to do and and what they are not allowed to do. If you deny p.ex. the startup of googletalk u won't be able to use the market... (because they depend on each other)

[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
In the time I've had Task Identifier, I've only noticed that two apps start ALL the time even though I never use them:

1. com.facebook.katana -- starts all the time and I never ever use the official Facebook app

2. com.google.maps -- I don't even open maps yet it starts all the time, why?

Will using Autostarts to deny background starting cause any adverse behavior?
[Android Apps and Games] elburna:
Maps doesn't start in background at all anymore since I denied all autostart permissions. No problem with that... as I actually use Facebook i didnt do anything concerning that one but shouldn't be a problem if you do so.

[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
Sounds like things are coming along for people using TI. Great! I realized my previous screen shot of the new UI i posted was strangely pixelated, etc. Here it is again.
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Looks great!

Any chance of adding functionality to deny tasks from auto-starting?
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
I wouldn't count it out as a future upgrade.
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Awesome. That would take Task Identifier to the next level. Hopefully save a ton of battery. :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] ccossin:
I don't mean this question to be rude, but why does the app need full internet access and location access?

The new UI looks great and I think the app has great potential, but I'm not certain I want it to have that much access to my device.

This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
Honestly those are only for the ad. The full version wont use those
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
And its the coarse network location, not the GPS. GPS permission was removed
[Android Apps and Games] ccossin:
A beta test with targeted ads. Interesting.

[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
We have to test everything :) Right now working hard on figuring out why this app doesn't work on Eclair phones.
[Android Apps and Games] daante122:
thanks! very good application
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
So I added icons to the alerts. Came across this working on adding common names. So no common names but icons, take a look! This will be a future release of the full real version which has this.
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
http://taskidentifier.blogspot.com/
[Android Apps and Games] ccossin:
The blog states that the full version will use common names for apps. Yet the screenshots do not show the feature. Is this still a "coming soon" feature?

The UI looks great by the way.

This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
I know, sorry. I'm still working on common names but we won't release the full version until it has them. It's one of our 3 pre-reqs at this point for release.
[Android Apps and Games] ccossin:
Not a criticism. Just a request for info. I'm looking forward to your finished product.

This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
I appreciate all the feedback I get. Thanks! Got common names working so now theres only 2 pressing things on the punch list. Getting close! :)

Also I posted a screenshot of the common names now too on the site.
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
Tonight or tomorrow new lite version will replace the beta. Also a full version will be released. Lets see how in to the super bowl I get
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
Lite and Full now up. Thanks for all the feedback everyone!
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
What is the difference between the full and lite version?
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
The full version has:

-Common Names and Actual Application Icons

-No Ads

-Access to all App Settings

-Ability to change alert level from List Tasks

-Removed Internet and Location Permissions

And we have a slew of other features planned for only the full version, but we don't want to spill the beans on those quite yet, but they will enhance the tool greatly!

Both versions now have the new UI as well.

Anyone who had the beta should be notified to upgrade to the lite version now.
[Android Apps and Games] ccossin:
Will you be adding features like the app "Autostarts"?

This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
The app lite and full autostarts
[Android Apps and Games] ccossin:
Not quite what I meant.

The market app "Autostarts" shows you under what conditions your apps autostart in the background. For example, "On startup","battery low", "memory low", etc.

Are those the features you'll be adding?

This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
Potentially. Sorry I was a bit confused lol. We are also going to add some features based on what an app can do as well.
[Android Apps and Games] PokeAsheep:
Hmm, for some reason I can't pull up in the market...

Thanks, this is awesome. I just purchased the full version to help you along.
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
Just an FYI. The next day or so I'm trying to release a new upgrade to the full version... a new way to set alert levels which will allow the app to decided for you whether to set to green yellow or red. Stay tuned!

Thanks again to everyone!
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
Full version new feature! You can now select android app permissions that you wish to screen for and depending on the number of those a task has, TI will set the alert level (green yellow or red) for you. Enjoy. Also tried fixing monitor stop issues
[Android Apps and Games] jofun:
Hi there, THE killer feature would pe, to prevent intents from being sent to applications in defineable situations as well as to block some of the permissions an app requests.

That would be a much better approach than all AppKillers / Autostarts do.

For now, we just see, that an activity starts, but not exactly why.

I don't know if a *normal* root application is capable of that, or if the vm must be hacked. In my opinion one of the biggest android problems (in terms of battery drain, responsiveness, available RAM AND security) is the circumstance that one is not able to have full control over the devices applications. Maybe your app will take us a step further.

Thx and keep on your work, jofun

*Update* ups, i was wrong in some of my assumptions. there is allready an app that does lot of this work.
[Android Apps and Games] cobraplayer:
would u name the app plz

-

Swyped from my legend using XDA app.
[Android Apps and Games] eski7399:
What app does that?
[Android Apps and Games] jofun:
Have a look at *Autorun Manager*. It shows you all intents an application reacts to. Furthermore, you can block them. I was really doubtfull but it looks like it's working.

So far i've only tried some NON-System Apps and yes, there is no magic startup of these anymore. There is a real danger of messing your system up if you don't know what you are doing.
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
Hey question for everyone. What one or two features would make the lite version more useful to you and the whole TI concept more solid to you? I feel like the gap between the full and lite versions is great and the lite version doesn't really represent TI anymore (especially with the inclusion of permission based level setting in the full version)

Thanks!:)
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
Ok, so for stupid reasons this app didn't work on Android 2.1. Now it almost does! Stay tuned! I may solicit a few beta testers for the Android 2.1 version.
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
I need a few 2.1 users to test out the full version on 2.1 for free. Any takers?
[Android Apps and Games] mnjm9b:
I have found that releasing a highly restrictive lite version does more damage than good to the projects success.
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
Thanks. I tend to agree. I am in discussions with my partner in this app about this, so I hope to propose a new, better lite version to him soon, potentially only missing the permission based alert settings and maybe one other thing.
[Android Apps and Games] Namuna:
Just bought the full version. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] x2kjosh:
Next release will work with 2.1. Also added clear memory option and redid the lite version. Also added alert positioning for full version ie alerts can be on the to it middle or bottom of the screen. I like the top of the screen personally

Go into settings under messaging if you can make sure your message center reads the same if you are on at&t

If you still heave the cognition rom zip on your sd. Go into the zip using astro file manager. Go info system, find the mms apk, copy the apk to your sd. Use root explorer or android mate to copy and paste in your system/app folder on your phone and over write existing file. Then reboot.

Im thinking of making an extended battery pack for my desire, using C cell rechargeable batteries.

I have a C cell x4 holder, which with my 3000mAh cells will give 4.8V, should be close enough to 5v.

Im thinking of wiring a standard USB plug to the end of the battery box, and connecting it to the bottom of the phone. The reason I need this is for my cycling trips, the standard battery wont keep the phone going long enough on the GPS, where the 3000mAh x4 should do niceley.

Does anyone have the schematics for this sort of thing, and has it ever been done before?

[Nook Color General] jzh797s:
I have a brand new Nook, freshly Rooted. As Im getting into the meat of hacking this thing I see that Froyo can be installed via SD or on the EMMC. Which would be the better direction and why?

I should note that if installed on SD I would be installing it on a 32gb Class 10 MicroSD.
[Nook Color General] likearaptor:
If you put it on the EMMC then you will loose all B&N functionality that the NookColor came with. No NookKids and no magazines. You can use the Nook android app in Froyo but I personally like the NookColor's applications. Once we can port these apps to the Froyo build I would switch. Froyo seems to run better with Jit and other optimizations
[Nook Color General] slugbug2010:
So does this mean that if it is installed via sd that the NC wont lose the B&N stuff it came with? Or are you saying it's all gone either way and to wait if we don't to lose the things?
[Nook Color General] gallahad2000:
It doesn't "install" via SD, it's booting from there(bypassing the internal memory entirely). That way you can just pop out the SD card and voila, the nook boots whatever is on the internal memory.

The SD method is good because you don't risk leaving some trace on the device if you have to return it under the warranty (or for being able to access B&N apps and boot froyo).
[Nook Color General] EugeneKay:
As it sits right now, Nookie Froyo on the internal memory(emmc) is a bit of a pain to do. Heed the giant red FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY warnings. If you want to get a taste of what it will be like, just install it to a SD card.

Work is progressing on an "update.zip" which will completely flash the internal memory with NF, in a sane and safe manner(no bricks!), via Clockworkmod Recovery. This is the same way that all Android devices get flashed.

The B&N apps are not available in NF, and I would not expect them to be - they seem to rely on quite a few incompatible framework changes, in much the same way that Sense UI's widgets can't be used on a Cyanogenmod phone. If it means THAT much to you, just stay with stock.
[Nook Color General] jzh797s:
Thanks for the replies. Looks like SD is the way to go... for now.

***This test is just to show how the antenna reacts under different conditions***

Since I fixed my GPS it has been pretty good, 10 in view 4-6 locks etc.. I started thinking about how the antenna is on the bottom of the phone. So, I tested the GPS response by using both GPS-test+ and Ulysses-Gizmo.

I tried using the GPS set on a handrail in clear view outside, then inside on a table.

Then, I did the same test outside by hold the top and bottom of the phone holding upside down (holding it above my head and looking at the screen).

Since the antenna is now facing the sky......well, the response, lock and view times were faster, the error, was 4-6 mm better. Performed each test for 1 min each time.

I know this is not earth shattering news but holding it upside down gets locks and accuracy much faster, then you can go on using it normally.

Just thought to share that tidbit...........

Be interested if this holds true with other phones.

You can use adb push to copy

If you have already remounted system partition in read-write mode then, you can use

adb push folderonpc/filetocopy /system/folderonmobile to copy files on mobile.

However, you cannot use wild cards like * to copy all the files in one go. You have to copy one by one. You can use batch file to automate it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xulat:
Copying Files to or from an Emulator/Device Instance

You can use the adb commands pull and push to copy files to and from an emulator/device instance's data file. Unlike the install command, which only copies an .apk file to a specific location, the pull and push commands let you copy arbitrary directories and files to any location in an emulator/device instance.

To copy a file or directory (recursively) from the emulator or device, use

adb pull <remote> <local>

To copy a file or directory (recursively) to the emulator or device, use

adb push <local> <remote>

In the commands, <local> and <remote> refer to the paths to the target files/directory on your development machine (local) and on the emulator/device instance (remote).

Here's an example:

adb push foo.txt /sdcard/foo.txt

Check to see if you can do the three button method to get into recovery mode and also check that you can get into download mode using 2-button + usb cable. If you can do that you are in good shape to the best of my knowledge. I got two replacements (same time, one mine & one wife's) and did this check and everything has been going great. We have had zero shutdowns and great GPS with stock or most of the many ROMS I have ran since the "new' phones arrived.
