[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] brummiesteven:
Hey,

Sorry for the noob question, I'm new to mobile development (although have been coding on the desktop in Java for a while now). I've searched around for this, and looked on bing with no luck.

I've created a simple game which has more than 1 player. Each player has a button and at some points in the game they need to press this button, sometimes this is at the same time.

How do I enable multi touch so that if both player 1 and play 2 push the button at the same time (ie 2 fingers pressing 2 different buttons) that both of them press and not just one?

Thanks,

Steve.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] OndraSter:
When you say button, you are using simple Silverlight and not XNA right?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] brummiesteven:
Yeah that's correct, is multitouch not available in this instance?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] OndraSter:
AFAIK MS has it implemented as gestures: http://dotnetslackers.com/articles/...-Programming-MultiTouch-and-Manipulation.aspx
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ryfly65:
I've been browsing around a lot, and I haven't run into any guides on getting this thing updated to the latest android version manually. Does anyone know where I can get Froyo, or gingerbread, and what actions I take to install it onto my Zio phone by Cricket?

I have already rooted the phone using Universal Androot.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] killa619:
If you really have been doing your research then you would know that you have to wait for them to release it first.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ryfly65:
I'm confused - I thought Froyo and Gingerbread have already been released.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] killa619:
Nope not yet,22-25 of this month I believe. 2.1 has been released on the sprint version if the zio.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tlc08071:
I'm on a Zio by Cricket as well. Today is the 22nd of Feb. I called Cricket support this morning and the person on the phone just told me 2 min. ago that the upgrade has not been released to the costomers yet. They said when it gets released they are going to notify me/you I guess on your phone that there is an upgrade for the phone and I guess what is needed to get the phone upgraded. The person I spoke to stated that they have no idea when it will be released and that they were still working on the upgrade and phone. He changed his tune when I explained to him that in a forum I am registered with a person explained that he/she let us know he spoke to 1 of the corp. reps in person, and the guy stated it was already tested on the phone and that Cricket already got the Ok to let the costomers upgrade that it will be out between the 22nd, (today) - 28th (next week). Once I told him that he just studdered and stated that he wasn't sure that they were never notified of this so on and so on.

I'm bout to say fk Cricket and just get a Metro phone and service tell Cricket to shove it up there ass.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] javajoe96:

[Nexus S Android Development] matt_stang:
I have been working on a lock screen that I will be submitting to CyanogenMod upon finishing but wanted to let you guys check it out and give me some feedback. It is in very early stages of development but so far it works and I must admit, it's pretty cool.

The lock screen widget that I made is inspired by the honeycomb lock screen. The idea is simple: there is a small circle inside a larger circle, and when you drag the small circle to the outer circle it triggers an action (i.e. unlock, sound off, custom app.)

What works so far:

As you can see in the screenshots the outer circle has been separated into two "arcs." The arc on the right triggers a screen unlock, and the arc on the left triggers sound on/off.

Yes, I know the widget covers up the time/date text but that can easily be moved around. I will worry about that later. Right now I am focusing on functionality.

What's to come:

Soon I will be adding a third arc for custom applications. I may add two more arcs which may be customizable. So, if you choose, you can have 2, 3, or 4 arcs that each trigger a different action.

Now for the fun part..

If you want to install this and try it out (and I would really appreciate if you did)

EDIT: I botched the flashable zip. Attached a zip with framework folder. Extract, do this:

adb shell stop
adb remount
adb push /path/to/framework/ /system/framework
adb shell reboot

Note: this framework was built with an old source (3 or 4 days old). I can almost guarantee it will cause some apps to force close and possibly display some weird icons here and there. Source is being synced now. If you want to try, backup your framework.

To backup,

adb pull /system/framework/ /path/to/backup/folder

Restore,

adb push /path/to/backup/folder /system/framework/

Enjoy and please lend me some feedback!
[Nexus S Android Development] brian6685:
I don't see the flashable zip? Thanks a lot for this, its awesome. Now we just gotta get the circle smaller and the colors right and it will be great :) thanks!

Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] matt_stang:
Yeah sorry about that. I posted new instructions
[Nexus S Android Development] brian6685:
Okay so i tried it, I think it has a lot of potential. Gave me some fc's with apps and my status bar was kinda messed up, but the lockscreen functionality is pretty cool. I look forward to seeing this development!
[Nexus S Android Development] matt_stang:
Yeah I just realized I'm getting some force closes too. I'm sycing my source right now so I will have an up to date version soon that won't break anything. And hopefully some lock screen updates too
[Nexus S Android Development] brian6685:
I'm on build 2, I'm not sure how much the framework has changed from then..

Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] matt_stang:
I'm on build 2 as well. The lock screen works but I get browser, gallery, and probably some others force close. It is good to try for now but no good for long term use until I finish syncing the latest source
[Nexus S Android Development] brian6685:
Yeah sounds good. Good work

this lockscreen is pretty sick. I actually never saw the honeycomb lockscreen so i was lost at first on how to unlock my phone lol. it would be nice if it was displayed under the clock but im sure that's coming. i'd love those custom app options also. good work!
[Nexus S Android Development] SubyWill:
this is a pretty cool idea!
[Nexus S Android Development] rivaaaa253:
Could I use this on my fascinate? Like I know its not the nexus s but would it work?

[Nexus S Android Development] nbeebe24:
I'm sorry. I don't understand how to push this file

Overall, I'm very pleased with Liberty 1.5. Works extraordinarily well. My wife's after me to put it on her Droid X, too.

Just one question -- is it possible to edit the list of blocked sites in the Liberty 1.5 toolbox's adblocker? There's one site that's blocked that I need unblocked in order to get a specific app working.

Many thanks!

Hi guys,

There is a app on Android that can record the Screen in a video for youtube and so far.

I'm very interested 'cause I need to rec a game that is too slow on emulator.

[General Questions and Answers] cobraplayer:
You are interested in screencasting? There is an app named ShootMe that records screen videos @ 10fps (only). Doesn't work yet on all devices. You should give it a go.

[General Questions and Answers] ceriko:
Hi, I was using ShootMe today to screencast but the quality is quite poor (well... with 10fps^^).

It's better than nothing of course but is there now something better ?

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] cobraplayer:
No other alternative yet I know about :(

But I just came across a new app Lazy Droid which is about accessing the android device from pc. It includes a feature of "remote view" which gives an mpeg view of whatever is going on phone. It can not export the video yet. You may request the dev to add video export feature.

The app is still in preliminary stage and may not be be working on all devices.
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
There is a way to edit the apk of Shootme to allow higher frame rate recording. I saw it posted right after the feature was added, but unfortunately didn't bookmark it. I'm sure some searching or looking into the apk could yield the answer.

Unfortunately without root this won't do the OP any good, but it may help someone else.
[General Questions and Answers] boscharun:
If you are on KitKat or above, it boils down to connecting your phone in debugging mode to PC via USB and running the adb command -

adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/myscreen.mp4

The screen will get recorded to /sdcard/myscreen.mp4.

But this needs you to have android SDK and manually running the command. If you want an easier solution, this page has a package (zip) you can download which has a standalone adb + batch file you can double click to start recording screen video.

[Atrix 4G General] mjgunn:
Got my phone a few hours ago. Speed is really nice, battery already looks to be as impressive as I thought it would be (2.5 hours of playing with it continually and it hasn't budged), and it overall just feels like a well constructed quality device.

The screen however is another thing. The biggest problem is the colors are washed out, and the contrast seems to be pretty bad too. Going to play with a store demo tomorrow, hopefully I just got a bum one, but I'm getting the feeling after stuffing everything else in there they decided a to cut costs with a low quality lcd.
[Atrix 4G General] nucentury08:
Really its qhd or super amoled? I wanna buy one but needs to match or be better then my nexus s screen.
[Atrix 4G General] mjgunn:
The resolution is qhd, 960x540, which is nice, you get used to having the extra resolution real quick. The panel however is just a regular lcd, not amoled.
[Atrix 4G General] Ririal:
The qHD screen looked really damn good from the demo I saw in the store. I put it up against my IP4 screen, which was admittedly a little better (crisper and a little brighter), but the Atrix screen easily takes a close second from any device I've seen so far.
[Atrix 4G General] amtrakcn:
The color of screen is a huge disappointment to me.
[Atrix 4G General] mjgunn:
Yeah people are saying you can't expect the vividness of the captivate. That's obvious, they're completely different kinds of screen the atrix's screen was never going to be as vivid. I'd just like the colors to actually be the correct shade, yellow is especially bad.

I turned auto brightness off and jacked it up to about 50%, helped the colors, but doing that really makes the pentile "matrix" show up.
[Atrix 4G General] falconeight:
I think the screen is pretty damn good.
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
The captivates S AMOLED is overaaturated compared to the LCD screen of the Atrix. qHD is just a higher resolution screen.
[Atrix 4G General] eatkabab:
I have the captivate, my room mate just got the Atrix. I too am extremely disappointed in the screen quality. Still, everything else about the phone is great so far.

The screen is akin to the droidX screen which is terribly washed out and unsaturated. I doubt I'll ever have a display as nice as the super amoled for a long time since I don't like samsung. their stuff is all cheap feeling
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
First of all samsung is a pretty well regarded company in terms of overall quality of their hardware. Secondly, any sort of oled display will oversaturate colors, and you have become used to that. Any photoeditor/photographer will tell you that between the 2 displays, the Atrix will produce to most accurate color reproduction.
[Atrix 4G General] exo8:
I have a Nexus One, S, and Atrix 4g that came in today.

Side by side, the Atrix's screen leaves a lot to be desired IMO. My Nexus S screen's black are so much crisper on the same settings and same extra wallpaper with flat black.

Other than that, my Nexus S just simply looks sexier as a phone but I am really enjoying the functionality of my Atrix. Sticking with Atrix since I'm stuck on ATT unless an ATT Nexus S comes out.
[Atrix 4G General] vapotrini:
This is very, very disappointing news. I really wanted this phone but not if it has a sub-par screen. That's the most impressive thing about my SGS. It's the one thing Samsung got absolutely right. And I'm not willing to settle for less. Some say the colours are over saturated but I would take it's screen every single time over the IP4's. And considering the SGS2 is coming with an ever better screen... Well, it's beginning to look like those bastards are getting my money again.

Depressing.
[Atrix 4G General] XeoNoX:
This is very bad news to hear, I was really looking forward to yhis phone, but im too used to amoled screen, moto has to come up with sumthing similar
[Atrix 4G General] SS2006:
Screen brightness/contrast is one thing (amoled vs lcd)

resolution is another... 800x480 is overplayed and ugly, nothing has challenged the iphones retina yet

The atrix is a first in higher resolution, and I think thats a winner for me
[Atrix 4G General] psufan5:
This comes down to personal preference. The atrix screen to me is far better than the captivate and nexus simply because it doesnt exaggerate colors. I cant stand the over saturation on the SMOLED screens. Its literally brutal to look at.
[Atrix 4G General] lsxrx7:
the screen is not bad at all, you people are exaggerating

the camera on the other hand is kinda ... meh ....
[Atrix 4G General] Chad_Petree:
the galaxy s 2 supposedly has a more natural colors, lets wait and see ;)
[Atrix 4G General] psufan5:
800x480 resolution fail. One reason its difficult to look at those screens.
[Atrix 4G General] eallan:
Would love for the sgs2 to have a higher res though.
[Atrix 4G General] nr2134:
Sitting next to my Captivate, the blacks look washed out, but text looks way better. The higher res is nice and Im willing to give up the darker blacks.

Not to mention that my GPS locks in under 5 seconds and I didnt have a reboot yet. :D

Once you fully switch over and use the Atrix a bit, you wont notice the black level.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] kitecarl:
Hi everyone,

After moving between Froyo/Gingerbread ROMs for quite some time now I'm considering moving back to 2.1 in order to have a fully-working Sense UI. Tegro and RCMix are both in the running. One question though - I'm a big fan of the more recently updated versions of Gmail that come with Froyo and Gingerbread gapps, and the last time I tried 2.1 I specifically went back to later versions because the Gmail client was so old (no floating toolbar, no priority inbox, etc etc - all the nice wizbang features that come with the latest). BUT, now that Gmail is on the Android market, I'm wondering if they also have updated the Gmail client for 2.1 as well? If anyone out there can speak with experience on this I'd appreciate it!

Display upgrading from 800 to 1024 and new display will be true multi-touch!

In this video from CES 2011, the Elocity representative (while discussing the A10) says that the A7 display will be upgraded from 800 to 1024 and true Multi Touch capacity. She also mentions that the A10 will utilize gorilla glass on its screen. Thinking the same will be true for the A7 upgrade? Wondering if that's why the A7 is currently priced at $299 on TigerDirect and NBCshop?? Selling current stock while upgrades get manufactured. She also said in another CES video that these changes "will be available by mid year".

Her comments about the A7 begin at the 2:32 mark of the video. Until then, its all about the A10. Here it is:

I can see the database of my messages on the back up files in Handcent SMS and all of my messages on there, but after flashing and recovering them. they didn't back :( anyone can help me with that?

On the other hand my Contacts backed to the phone. just the texts messages.

Thanks
