This is the notion ink Adam email app I have on my advent Vega thought I would try it on my galaxy s it works perfectly.

I'm not sure about the density as its from a tablet but my galaxy is set to 180.

Try it and see if you like it if not no problems.

Link to dropbox.

Just download open zip and install.

Because this is for a bigger screen you have to slide the screen to the left to view all emails.
[Xoom General] GrimmySnarf:
So I loaded a ton of high res photos straight from my DSLR forming a digital portfolio on my Xoom, but one thing is really irking me. When you first launch the gallery, the image is rendered somewhat fuzzy until you pinch and zoom in - then it becomes nice and sharp. Has anyone found a way around this? Should I be resizing to a ceettain size before transferring to the Xoom?

It's just a tad annoying that when swiping through photos in a gallery, they're all previewed almost in a low res fashion. Id hate to have to zoom in just to show how a photo is supposed to look.
[Xoom General] gogol:
Android Gallery sucks ... period.

Google does not spend time for that.

Go to the Market and get "QuickPic".

That's better.
[Xoom General] singraham:
i resize to 1600x1200 to save storage mostly but the images show well in both stock gallery and QuickPics. Higher Res takes a second to resolve to full detail but it should do so without the pinch and zoom trick. QuickPics saves the full screen view once you view the image the first time so it is faster on both viewing and slide shows.
[Xoom General] wang1404:
Never experienced that. I loaded my hi-res pics but it seems fine. Its pretty I like it, the 3d gallery.
[Xoom General] Mobileillusion:
Hi all,

I'm developing a full resolution image viewer "Gallery illusion HD" that supports big "jpgs" and displays pictures with no quality loss. Now is in public beta and can be download free on the Android Market. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Regards,

Mobileillusion
[Xoom General] moriakoj:
You should add basic viewer functions as scrolling by finger, rotate and so on.
[Xoom General] Mobileillusion:
Hi moriakoj,

thanks for the feedback. I will add those features in next versions.

The application is intended, above all, to see the details of high-resolution images (> 10 MP). Most viewers downscale the image in such images.

Regards,

Mobileillusion.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] memamu:
Hi,

my display is always on while plugged in to the usb cable. It doesn't matter if it is charging or fully charged if the display is going on while plugged in it won't go off. it doesn't even lock itself.

i only can use the power button to shut it off.

so it happened that it was on the whole night because i had it plugged in and got an sms in the night.

has anyone a solution for that?

regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] memamu:
I hoped that someone knows the option to enable or disable to shut off the display while plugged in...

no one?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oswade:
If I remember correctly, there used to be an option in settings>applications>development, something called "keep screen on when plugged in" or something like that.

There definitely is the option somewhere, but I can't seem to find it in JVB (maybe it's only in earlier froyo roms?)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I would back up your data and factory reset if you cannot find any settings .

Display goes off when connected to USB at what i have set display timeout to .

In Display settings .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buntoo:
That feature was available in Froyo 2.2 only. Not present in 2.2.1 and above.

Settings -> Applications -> Developement -> Keep screen on (while charging AC/USB).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] memamu:
Thank's allot.

I have the 2.2 version and found the option. I turned it off and will be happily ever after. ;)

Kind regards...
[Atrix 4G General] MaluNoPeleke:
I have inserted a MicroSD card to my Atrix and every time I plug it in a computer only the external card gets mounted but the internal card still appears with a drive letter in the explorer.

Is it possible to have access to both cards at the same time when plugged in over USB?
[Atrix 4G General] joelszs:
There is a setting in SD card management to give you access to both.
[Atrix 4G General] MaluNoPeleke:
While it is plugged in?

Sorry, I cannot test it right because my phone is bricked :(

[Captivate Android Development] blackwolf13:
What does "- Camera : Fix bug on Front camera change" mean. Is there a front camera?

have not seen anywhere that we had one.
[Captivate Android Development] tmhung:
No , our Captivate don't have front cam , but in stock continuum 3.1.1 use the camera.apk version have front camera option , when u touch this icon , it 'll change your cam resolution ....... u must reset all camera setting to fix it .

In this rom , i mod another camera.apk version , don't have front camera icon
[Captivate Android Development] blackwolf13:
thank you for the info
[Captivate Android Development] brd912:
sorry for sending a message first,didnt think to post it here but i think i like this version a little better,but can i change the transparent app drawer back to black? i really like the black background
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
So what is this his Rom with some apk's swapped out? Did you ask him? I'm not tryin to start nothin just asking.
[Captivate Android Development] TheriaultAJ:
Agreed.

Sent from space!
[Captivate Android Development] Pierce533:
This sort of issue can be dealt with in private messages. Ultimately it is an issue between tmhung and Cezar and really none of our business. The best construction we should put on this is that tmhung made his mods after consulting with Cezar; especially if you are "not tryin to start nothin."
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Transparent app drawer is looking nice. This thread is actually making TouchWiz Launcher seem somewhat slick :p
[Captivate Android Development] likiud:
I really like the themed version of continuum but was a bit reluctant to try it out because some people had battery issues. Since you claim with the mod it has good battery, is there any way to put the mod on the themed version?
[Captivate Android Development] boardsportsrule:
With my experience with Continuum, it has had the best battery life of the roms I have tried. Cognition 3.04, 4.1, CM7, Fire Fly, and Paragon. While I didn't do any timed tests, I did run each rom for multiple days, and mentally noted how things went.

I have stuck with Continuum for the two weeks(A long time for me), and just been changing kernels/radios to keep satisfied! Been great on battery life, I highly suggest flashing 3.1.1, or waiting until the update to get JS7...
[Captivate Android Development] tmhung:
Thank for that . But in my mod , i didn't change anything name or rom name , i don't have donate link , i think i shared my mod for all of you for use . SOrry about this
[Captivate Android Development] likiud:
It seems battery life is a hit or miss in all the roms. It seems icezar is coming up with JS7 from what I read in the thread. Hopefully that will solve the battery issues the "other users" were having. I'm waiting on that too.
[Captivate Android Development] jsmith8858:
Your work and your sharing is appreciated, but why release this as a ROM? Why not just release a CM zip with just the files you've added or changed? Or, provide files and instructions on how to fix the issues you've fixed? That would be easier and more convenient for all involved I would think. Imagine if we all released ROMs of every little tweak we ever made of every ROM we installed to help the community; everyone would have good intentions, but it would be a mess.

[Desire General] sun-drop:
Hi .. it's sad day but i've decided to order a SGS2 and that means it's time to sell my orig AMOLED rocking htc desire .. :(

still questioning it , but, yeh ...

anyways figure if i sell i don't want some one harvesting passwords etc off the phone or card so whats the best sure fire way to scrub any sign of my data off the card?
[Desire General] BigMrB:
obviously by formatting it?!
[Desire General] mercianary:
One way would be to delete everything then fill all available space and delete again.

Like this...

Format memory card and factory reset/wipe all data from recovery.

From terminal or adb type

su

cat /dev/zero > /sdcard/delete.me

rm /sdcard/delete.me

Then repeat if your extra paranoid.

Replace sdcard with data in the above commands to do phone memory, you could also do cache aswell if you wanted.

Edit: it will hang for a while when doing the cat command, just wait for it to tell you your out of space. PS. You will need root to do data, but not sdcard, if you don't have root factory reset then fill data with loads of Soundboards from the market or something.
[Desire General] uafridi_1179:
Just simply format it dude.....
[Desire General] sun-drop:
cheers guys, yeh figured a Sd card format would do the trick but yep mostly concered with the internal storage.

will try via adb ..
[Desire General] MasterBratac:
A simple format will not do the trick guys!

Well, if you are paranoid, you could follow mercianary´s guide to clean the sd card. But secure deleting the internal memory will be a bit more tricky.

I think you should be able to fill up the data partition with zeros in recovery via adb shell with similar command like mercianary used to shred the sd card.

Use /dev/mtdblock5 (not shure about that) as target for the cat command.

After that the partition should be completly overwritten.

Formating a device is just like ripping the table of contents out of a book.

You won´t find something the easy way, but it´s still there!

So you would be able to copy an image of mtdblock5 to the sd card with the dd command, and later analyze it with some datarecovery tool / undelete tool or raw recovery or dump tool.
[Desire General] mercianary:
That was my initial thought, but last time I messed around with dev/block/mtd and such i give myself over 100mb of bad blocks, its probably unrelated but I wouldn't recommended it because of my experience.

'cat /dev/zero > /data/delete.me' works fine at filling data with zeros, just tested it :)
[Desire General] MasterBratac:
But first you have to format /data so that it´s empty. Otherwise you won´t overwrite existing files with zeros.

My G-Tablet came with 512 mhz of Ram is there an easu way to upgrade the ram at home?

[General Questions and Answers] scottmog:
Mine has 512 megabytes of usb power and a terebyte of processor wtf @@
[General Questions and Answers] MALUMAN:
Mog, and the other two...

Why do you guys make fun of these questions?

They obviously have a legitament question which you can be answerd. No need to answer in the way you did.

First of all, The Gtab, in essence is a Malata zpad. And the T2 version was offered with 1gig of ram... If you did some reaserch you can see this. It is a legitament question.

I never took apart a GTab so I have no idea if its possible.

As far as the hard drive, you could have mentioned to them that it uses a flash based memory and may not be upgradable.

Was that so hard?

Reading responses like this is the reason why I don't like to comment on this forum.
[General Questions and Answers] zebra363:
God's sentence! :cool:
[General Questions and Answers] stipo42:
Interesting

I'll take my gTablet apart later when I get home from work and let you know if the RAM is soldered onto the board or if you can swap it out. My guess is that it's soldered.
[General Questions and Answers] roebeet:
I've taken mine apart and it's not like a PC or netbook where you have SIMM slots to add / change RAM - it's a chip soldered onto the board.

With that in mind - it may not be impossible, but definitely not an easy task, imo.
[General Questions and Answers] rr5678:
SIMM Slots? Thanks for that flashback.
[General Questions and Answers] roebeet:
SIMM slots, math co-processors and HS/Link. Ah, the good old days...
[General Questions and Answers] AngelosDracul:
*facepalm*

First of all. 512MB of RAM, DIMM slots, etc... My head hurts.

Brief spark of flame... Onto the help.

In my brief stint at staples, I saw the release of the G Tablet. And VERY quickly saw its recall. Whether you are running the original or their "fixed" edition, common sense derives you should get out from under that thing and get a much better tablet (anything not made by ViewSonic would be a GREAT start).

Now, onto what I do know about upgrading Soldered RAM. In almost ALL cases pertaining to ram that is soldered to the motherboard, it is almost impossible to upgrade it in anyway. I say "almost" because there is one exception I know of to date.

The original Xbox (ohhhhh, i miss that big black brick!!!). It came stock with 64MB of internal RAM. Soldered to the board. But there were 4 extra "slots" to solder down additional RAM as long as it was RAM from the same generation board (as there were a total of 8 or 9 different editions of the xbox motherboard released) and it was done CAREFULLY.

I highly doubt that viewsonic had any need or want to allow for expandability in their horrible excuse for a tablet (seriously, I think the nook color is faster than that pile of garbage). So my general answer (thanks to process of elimination) is NO, it will not be possible.

Have a nice day!

Stop using effing Tap'nTap and throw a custom ROM on there and stop whining.
[General Questions and Answers] AngelosDracul:
You talking to me or the OP?
[General Questions and Answers] rr5678:
I was talking to you. Now my original post may be a bit harsh, but I'm sick of hearing the complaints about Viewsonic's stock software. Everyone knows it sucks ass. That's why there's ROMs like Vegan-Tab. Try that out, see if it changes your mind about this tablet.
[General Questions and Answers] EVOXi:
+1000

I bought one just to dabble around with since my HP laptop that I was using for web surfing died. tried the stock ROM, holy s***, what a pile. Put Vegan Tab on it and it is quite a nice tablet now. Of course I did my research, and decided that I don't need 1 GB RAM especially with the improved performance of the Vegan ROM. But, if I decide to go the internal GPS route, I might go for some RAM too while I'm in there if it is possible.

EDIT: Just noticed, I have been on here for almost a year, and this is my first post.
[General Questions and Answers] AngelosDracul:
Hmmm. I was not talking about the software. I was talking about the sad excuse for original hardware. You might have gotten it AFTER the recall. But they RECALLED it for a reason. My store got 100 of them in at launch, and all of them got recalled within the following month. Why? The GPU's were built wrong. And I had a few customers flash custom ROMs and still had the same issues.

Thanks for the clarity, though. We were apparently talking about two different generations of tablets.

And either way. I hate everything Viewsonic makes. Spend another 50 bucks and get a better quality piece of hardware. I have never had anything but trouble with ANY of their products in the 7 years I have been in electronics retail.
[General Questions and Answers] rr5678:
I got one of the original units a month after it came out. When I got it, there were no issues whatsoever after flashing a custom ROM. It got sent back during one of my "dumbass wanna-be dev" moments :p (I tried to get Windows CE on it and flashed the wrong BCT)

My 2nd one had a busted screen

3rd a busted screen LED backlight

and now the 4th is on it's way out (it thinks it's charging all......the.....time)

All my units are before the recall.

(and Tapn'Tap is still one huge Pileo'**** :p)
[General Questions and Answers] AngelosDracul:
Did not want to "Flame" you with my last response. But it seems that your history with the device is kind of shot. lol. There are just so many problems with the VS name, that I gave up on them YEARS ago when I first started selling Home Theater and Computer tech with their logos on it. *sigh*

And for the record, I have never used Tap'n'tap, unless it was on a demo unit (for the quick week we had them) in store at Staples! (lol)

AAAAAAAAAAAND... I am a n00b to ROM/Flashing/Etc... , but learn quick, and have absorbed A LOT just on the epic in the past two weeks since I got my phone (first smart phone ever). I really hope to step up and contribute to the community here and weigh in. This is one of those sites that will live for a VERY long time, unlike Xbox-HQ, which is the last site I was an administrator on.
[General Questions and Answers] rr5678:
Yeah, all these problems are starting to make me hate the G-Tablet :p

I wanted to blow up the tablet when I tried to use Tapn'Tap :p

And yes, this site will last a long time. At least I hope it does.
[General Questions and Answers] SigLover21:
The memory as far as I can tell is in the FBGA package. Which means Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array. In otherwords you can't just get in there with a solding iron like a metcal, and a microscope and change it. It would require more expensive equipment to reflow the chip off and replace it with a 1 gb Ram package. What they use on the 1GB version is HYNIX H5PS1G83EFR-S6C.
[General Questions and Answers] SigLover21:
I found a supplier for the memory

I found a place to order the memory, but the minimum order is 250.00 I'll see if I can work something out. Anyway here it is. I'm now sure if you're allowed to put links here, but here goes.

The status bar keeps flickering down on location-aware sites like the main Google search page. The GPS icon seems to be triggering this. This is a new problem, starting about the same time as the Instant Previews search feature, announced on March 8th.

This constantly steals focus from the cursor, making navigation difficult.

If I clear the previous permissions granted, and deny access to my location, the problem goes away. That's not good enough, though. I want it working like before, since I get better search results when Google knows my location.

Here is a short video of the problem occurring, it illustrates the problem more clearly. Anyone else experiencing this bug?

[EVO 4G General] MultiDev:
I apologize if this has been posted before, but I have been googling for days and searching on this forum for the answer and couldn't find it.

After Sprint updated the Evo to 3.70, it came with an older version of swype that wasn't as nice as the newest Swype betas (like the recent March 2011beta). Hidden word warnings popping up all over the places was frustrating as hell.

Here is how to switch to the newest version of swype beta.

1- Uninstall the swype beta and installer if you currently have them installed.

2- Use Root Explorer (or similar) and delete or rename "/system/app/Swype.apk" and "/system/lib/libSwypecore.so" (I simply changed the extention to .bak in case I needed them again).

3- Reboot your phone

4- Go to the Swype Beta website and download the newest swype beta installer as per your original beta email instructions.

Doing this, I got the newest Swype Beta (March 2011) running on my Evo running 3.70. Its running very well and I haven't run into any problems whatsoever. Beware that this isn't supported by Swype, but this is their instructions. Finally, no more hidden word notifications!
