Do you know some good applications for:

making screenshots

recording/tracing battery usage (reports nad so on)

similar to total manager appl

remote terminal - using your PC remotely (original display of you desktop)

benchmarking
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazhip:
I use screenshot for screenshots, battery usage I use the built in Android process, I have no idea what total manager is, wyse pocketcloud for VNC, and quadrant and linpack for benchmarking.

Also, adfree is awesome. It's like adblock for your phone.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mbene913:
Okay.lately my flash hasn't been working on my camera.

My screen recently cracked and I got it fixed, could that be related ?

I have tried different kernels but the flash remains broken.

Torch and other flashlight apps also don't work.

My battery is above 20 percent.

I do know how to turn flash on.

Is there an easy fix?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] XthelordinatorX:
well if nothing works with your flash are you sure your LED's arent broken?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mbene913:
Are leds the red light when charging?

If so, then yes, those work
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Yeah that is an LED indicator but he's talking about the LED Lights which make the flashlight. I don't think there's anything to do, they've probably just worn out.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mbene913:
Is there a fix ? Software or hardware? Any ideas on how much such a fix would cost ? Its not a big deal since my gf just bought a 14mp camera , but it does hurt the resale value of the phone
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jivy26:
I've searched through the market, google and here as well and I cannot find an app to help me out. Really all I need is a program that when it is started up it will keep a running log of the battery percentage and time ie:

1324 - 94%

1325 - 94%

1326 - 93%

Or at least something that will log until the phone completely shuts down. I could care less if it had a gui or graph as long as I could go to say a txt file and pull the log.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] lactardjosh:
Try Current Widget in the Market.

It logs to a txt file.

please report back here!

Small tutorial:

download FuguTweaks update.zip package from original thread

extract the two files in system/bin/ of the archive to your sdcard

copy paste them to /system/bin/ using RootExplorer or push them trough adb

reboot

ADB installation method (thanx Dark Lestat):

adb shell "su"
adb shell "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system"
adb push app_process /system/bin/
adb push system_server /system/bin/
adb shell "chmod 755 /system/bin/app_process"
adb shell "chmod 755 /system/bin/system_server"
adb shell "reboot"

Known Problems:

Reported to bootloop when custom bootanimation is used.

Custom Bootanimations working!! problem was with installation through adb!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
Ten chars...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] osbozzy:
Am sorry .... But where do i hav to paste this ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
/system/bin/
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] osbozzy:
Thank you ... Will do it rite away :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] osbozzy:
o_O AM sorry again ... But do i hav to paste teh entire META-INF and system folder

or teh contents inside teh folder ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] EdisDee:
i forgot to remove the custom bootanimation and now the phone doesnt boot. QtADB doesnt allow me to delete the bootanim because the contents are read-only. please tell what must i write in the adb command prompt to make the partition read-writeable?

EDIT:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] kyrillos13:
UPDATE: @FadeFx.

adb pushing --> bootloop! (tried 2 times, with/without bootanimation)

root explorer --> works fine (tried with/without bootanimation)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] kenblat:
Problem with ADB???? how can we use the fone without adb? :confused:

P/S: just take a look post above it turn out that using root explorer => OK
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
Adb is working, just installing fugutweaks through adb causes bootloops
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] debaj:
Tried it, the phone feels indeed more snappy. I use vanilla JPF with lagfix.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] kenblat:
what kind of lagfix that work @ clean JPF, lagfix - lagfixv2 or apollọ801 lagfix (more space for install apps) ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] kyrillos13:
one question. should i reboot? or poweroff the phone and then power it on?!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
I think this makes no difference in that case...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hodostamas:
tested on original JPF.

a little bit faster. thx :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pokosik:
what i should do with meta-inf folder?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] EdisDee:
nothing. it's used when you update using recovery mode (update.zip) . currently recovery for our phones doesnt do that (except eclair recovery i think). i might be mistaking you know :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] debaj:
Don't know about clean JPF, I use lagfix v2 on vanilla.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
I think this should work with any lagfix.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Rapier07:
I pasted both the files to /system/bin but it didn't ask for an overwrite.. Did I do something wrong.. My phone boots up normally though !

Thanx ..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
It didn't ask me to overwrite either. So i just moved the files there to see if they get moved and it did work without asking to overwrite.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] aeonstorm:
actually it doesn't really seem much faster. what do you all think?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Pauri:
Hey^^ i dont know why nobody recognize that its much fadter? Apps open faster, scrolling is smoorher etc.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] osbozzy:
Pasted ... But dint ask for replace and rebooting normally as it always does ..

Using lestatious 1.2

bootanimation - teh custom one which came along with teh ROM ...

Dint find any difference in my device ... at all ...

Hav i done it wrong ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] aeonstorm:
hey apparently its working already. I'm using the same rom as you. the system won't ask if you want to overwrite it.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Kaleptik:
Got this working with my no Odin system. :) No bootloop.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pmapma1:
indeed very fast..

but did u guys observe ?

all the apps are opening very fast EXCEPT the Dialer, Phone Book and Messaging.

they open at the same speed they used to..

what is the problem with them ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] xperiaatic:
installed it on kyrillos 2.3, can not say that it is much snappier now but navigating menus and animations look indeed smoother. JPF can be little jerky at times and that mod seems to make it better.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dxdiag32:
lestatious 1.2can't use this pack ?i stay in the bootlogo
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
Did you use advanced to push the files there? I think there should be no prob with 1.2
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dxdiag32:
i don't know .i just push those two files in bin .and git says overwrite
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
Sorry question was if u used adb...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dxdiag32:
thx,and how to do it with adb ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
No way, if pushed using adb the device bootloops... that's why i asked. If you did it with RootExplorer it should actually work.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Kaleptik:
No, using adb works. Here's how.

adb shell "su"
adb shell "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system"
adb push app_process /system/bin/
adb push system_server /system/bin/
adb shell "chmod 755 /system/bin/app_process"
adb shell "chmod 755 /system/bin/system_server"
adb shell "reboot"
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
thanx Lestat, will add this to first post...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Kaleptik:
Very much welcome.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dxdiag32:
i did it and bootloop,now i'll try it again...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
any success?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dxdiag32:
yeah this time i succeed .and there's a problem ,when my screen been locked i tap the home key,and there's a few second to react .

sorry for my bad english :)
[Xperia Arc General] refract:
What are the differences between Xperia Arc and Xperia Play ?

I know this is just the Arc forum, but I've been looking around the net and I couldn't find any comparisons whatsoever.

The only difference I presume is like - Arc seems more like "look at me I'm 30 years old" phone, while Play is "look at me I still enjoy playing games" phone.

To be honest I haven't googled hard enough, so I'm hoping someone will spare me the tiresome googling and just give me a straight up answer, cause the gaming pad seems honestly super handy to have !
[Xperia Arc General] MJ_QaT:
Arc has mini-HDMI while Play doesn't ( there were discussions at Sony to have HDMI is Play but we have to wait for that )

Play has front-facing camera while Arc doesn't

5 mp camera for Play against 8.1 for Arc

400mb internal memory for Play against 320mb for Arc

Bravia Engine and Exmore R for Arc while not for Play

Buit-in FM radio is available in Arc, but not in play

and the design is different :p

Hello everyone, I have a problem with toshiba folio 100 with foliomod 1.4, I have basically turned off the tablet but the light remains on and does not allow me to turn it on, I tried the power button, combinations of random keys but nothing .. What can I do? thanks

I helped with google translator because I do not understand much English
[Folio 100 General] EulerVen:
Seems Sleep Of Dead (SOD). Press power button for about 10 secs. This will power off your tablet. After that, power it on as usually.
[Folio 100 General] crover81:
I had already tried, but I solved it by opening the tablet and removing the battery, thanks anyway for trying to help.

But now I find myself with another problem .. the menu button sometimes goes for his cabbages, around the forums I read that a bug is common to many, but unfortunately my home button is quite dificult to translate everything there is to know about you tell me if there is a fix? <-------- errors by google translator

Briefly, I apologize if you have difficulty understanding me, I find myself using the menu button that goes to his cabbages and I can not translate the entire board to seek a solution, if there is such a solution could you explain it?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
nothing to do with the size, 32GB is the maximum our hardware is capable of taking, buying a 32GB card for our device in the HOPE that it works seems a bit mental to me, yours doesnt work by the sound of it, but that is not because of the size, some of us believe its to do with random access speeds, class 2 or 4 is usually a good bet but by no means will they give you a 100% chance of it working.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
Both my Sandisk 32gb cards have worked fine for me... 1 is class 2 with part number ending in A11M, the other is class 4 ending in P36A. Sandisk is a good brand and are pretty consistent in their cards, but even so, there's no 100% certainty that getting the same card will have the same exact performance... but I believe Sandisk gives you the best chance of working well.

I have also tried with my Kingston class 4 32gb card, but that card didn't work too well... was laggy, and kept resetting and not reading the card after reset.

What brand of SD card are you using?

Hi, could any gaming veteran advice some good positions for playing of various gender? I mean some good 4x strategy like Master of Orion, racing, shooter, survival horror, adventure and at the and some platform.

I am also interested in games like Roguelike RPG (ADOM), Heroes of Might and Magic and any other adjusted from PC to our pocket station :).

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] deliriousDroid:
I'm guessing English isn't your first language. The line about "good positions for playing of various gender." Makes absolutely no sense, so it's hard to understand what you are asking. Do you want some good game recommendations?

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Sebalos:
Yes it is not my first language :) very good perception, however you guessed very well what I meant :) (and very good imagination), anyway I've a little complicated the grammar ;) and sorry for that.

Exactly, the question is: what games can you recommend to me. I am interested in all the types.

Thanks a lot once again and forgive me next puzzles if any... :)

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] deliriousDroid:
OK, the games I have installed right now are asphalt 2, cubes free(kinda old school graphics, but lots of fun), gun bros (one of my favorites), heavy gunner, nfs shift, spectral souls (very expensive, but well put together turn based RPG), squible (it was the first game on the market that captured my attention), zenonia 1 and 2 (Zelda style RPG) and also live holdem pro(free live poker game, very addicting)

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] bwilborn:
I think the word you are looking for is "genre", not gender. Genre is a group or category of something, and gender is sex (like male or female).

In any case, Pocket Legends is pretty cool, but the games I limit myself to these days are Angry Birds, Slice It and Wordfeud...all puzzle type games.

-- B
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] misfit1306:
I'm a gamer myself and have literally tried every game available on android. Pocket legends is pretty fun to have for a portable mmorpg. It has some obvious tones similar to world of warcraft. Another fun rpg is crusade of destiny. Its got great graphics and fun gameplay and kept me busy for a couple of weeks. Spectral souls is a well made game for sure but its more one of those strategy rpgs that lacks the ability to fully control the player. It reminds me more of an amped up chess game so it wasn't my taste.

Also if you're running a high end device, which I can assume you are because you're in this forum, I can reccommend any of the gameloft games. They aren't available on the market so you'll need to visit their site. Just google gameloft. They are a little pricey and some of the games can be a little buggy at times but as far as graphis go and playability there is little comparison out there. Games like splinter cell, hawx, modern combat 2, and avatar come in high definition formats and stick pretty close to the full size counterparts.

Other than that you should bury your gaming urges in one of the several well made emulators on the market. A lot of good games from the days past and some fun memories too!

Happy gaming!

Another game I would highly recommend is Project INF. It's a top down multiplayer shooter. Somewhat addictive once you get into it.

I think someone already mentioned it but GunBros is also a good shooter game.

EA also has a bunch of mainstream titles on Android like Sims 3 and FIFA 10.

I hate to support companies that refuse to support Android by refusing to put their apps on the market but Gameloft really has some of the best Android games. I currently have Modern Combat 2 and for an FPS with 3D graphics running on a phone, it's absolutely stellar! It even has multiplayer. Not sure about the price but I think I got it for $3.99 or $4.99. Just Google "gameloft".
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] kcm117:
Have you even looked into the reason WHY gameloft games are not on the market? It has nothing to do with them not supporting android.

It has to do with the fact that they have different .apk's for different gpus in different phones, the games are optimized for specific gpu's, that's why they look so good. The market doesn't allow multiple apk's or detect phone gpus so they can't put it up there properly.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Sebalos:
Ok i will look at the Project INF and Modern Combat 2 :) thanks

One game that I can heartily recommend is Majesty. Plays pretty much like the PC version. I'm in the same boat as you otherwise, just got a g2, only had a g1 beforehand, in which I ran nesoid and gensoid, nes and genesis emulators.

I did run across some apps about emulating Heroes of Might and Magic 2 and the Baulders Gates/Planscape Torment games...but you need the data files from the games, so either have to own em or....

Search Pelya (the maker) for those. I havn't been able to test them out fully yet, looking for my old discs now >.<
