Porting Notion Ink Adam apps

I heard about the Adam's apps getting ported to the G-Tab, so i thought id try some of them on my Tab.
I couldnt find the original versions, but of the ported ones Sniffer and Quickoffice worked almost perfectly (both would get stuck for a second when scrolling quickly). Couldnt get the browser to work at all, though people say its magical and whatnot.
Is anyone interested in giving it a crack?

could u post up the apps? too lazy to rip them out myself

I cant find the originals and have no idea how to rip them out of the dumps im afraid. I used to ones from the post above...

All of the ones in the linked thread worked for me on my tab (I haven't tested the mail'd app yet, will update after I do).
With the browser apk, you must first use root explorer and navigate to /system/app and rename your default Browser.apk to Browswer.apk.bak and then it will install. To go back to the stock modified samsung browser just rename Browser.apk.bak to Browser.apk.
The keyboard would be nice if it wasn't so bad.
Browser is really nice, I'm going to compare it to Dolphin for a while.
Calendar is worthless IMO, not nearly as good as the Samsung one (albeit a lot better looking)
Quickoffice HD IS AWESOME!
Sniffer is unnecessary IMO
Canvas is entertaining
Calculator is nice.
Thanks to the OP for reminding me to check these out!
Edit- I got mail'd working, just install THIS APK it's really sick!
Edit2- For those people that don't read the whole thread, just the first couple posts, it looks like you will need to have a screen density of 180 or so to be able to display the apks full screen. Just FYI.

My maild just gets stuck on the opening screen with your apk, also i cant install browser despite renaming

I had trouble installing browser but just rename the old one, transfer the new apk to the same folder an install it from there an.it works great.
Ive had no probs with maild. Works fine for me!

Yeah, sorry, Browser.apk has to be in /system before you can install it.
Also, it's not my apk, I just pulled it out of the flashable zip archive that's linked. No credit to me at all.

Any special trick for getting the canvas app to work? I get a FC every time I I press the paint. On a stock Verizon Tab (no root)
Also the Mail'd app goes off the screen and there is no way to scroll over without it springing right back. Makes it hard to see what is in the folder you're looking at.
Anyone else seeing this?

For the maild app ur gonna need to change the lcd density to something like 180 or 160.
Mines at 160 an i c the whole 3 panes in maild.

Its a pity you have to change the lcd density as its a dam smart email app.
Thanks for the apk though i prefer the density bigger

QuickOffice looks good too but the browser is excellent.
It works really well on the Tab. The best one i have used yet

I believe the originals can be had over at tithing. Anyone tested them yet?

I highly recommend running the tab at a LCD density of 180 (haven't tried 160). The screen is just too big and all the icons are unnecessarily large with the default density of 240.

Agreed. 180 is perfect for me though it cuts off a little of the mail'd app. I tried 160 and the notification bar kept changing colors depending on the background which was annoying.
From the Tab.

Office suite is nice, but ThinkFree office is better I think
I tried browser also and I just don't like it, I'd like to instal back old browser. I deleted browser.apk (Notion INK) from system/app, rename browser.apk.bak back to browser.apk and tried to instal but it always shows me error. How can I instal it? Thanks

Same here. It keeps asking for an smtp server even though with exchange and activesync you're not supposed to configure it on the device...

[App]Sony's Panorama Beta!

Hi SGS Folks!
Have you seen how the new Sony's Cameras capture Panorama Photos by moving the Camera all the way the scene you want to capture?
Well today a beta app developed by Sony can do that in our Mobile Phones...
I've found the app in the original thread for a X10 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116055 and i've corrected the script so we can also enjoy this beauty app...
DISCLAIMER!!!
Always do a back first in case it breaks anything and i'm not responsible if anything happens to your house, your town, your country or your dog... Use it at your own risk though it doesn't mean a major threat since the propetary files go to framework without breaking recovery or something else...
Instructions:
1.- Download and flash through CWM 3+ this script:
1.1 - Download Script
The script contains two SE Propietary files needed for the app to work.
2.- Download and install the attached app named:com.sonyericsson.panorama.apk
Install the app normally through any explorer like a side load.
3.- Enjoy!
Attached you may also find a few pictures taken it really works good on daylight!
Glad my work? Buy me a Beer!

hi mate,
you can already this on the Galaxy S using default camera app. Go to the shooting mode setting and select panorama view from there.

Thanks!
I know we can do this from the Stock Camera but what about the people running on CM7? I heard that it can't be done right?
Anyway i think it's a cool app to have

And in stock camera the picture size is 640*480

Thanx for the app,
Viva Guate!
Enviado desde mi galaxy s

so using this app, i can take panorama picture with full 5Mp.?

does this work in CM7 on others phone??
ie: nexus one/ htc desire

Yes it does. Go in the Android app and games forum. I've made the files for specific phones...

You can use the camera in portrait mode, and get a quite large picture that is 640 vertical, if your hand is steady. Mine wasn't when I was testing this afternoon, and I got only 1968 by 544 (I think it throws away the strips that don't match among all the pictures - so the steadier you are, the larger the vertical number of pixels will be.

"Application not installed" when I try to install it after flashing the CWM package first. I'm on Insanity CM 17. Would love to see this work as I used the panorama mode freguently with Samsung Roms.

just google photaf .... that's much better than this one and it's not beta.

Finding this to be a great app! Easy to use and pretty intuitive.

cant get this to work...
followed the instructions on the first post but keep getting "application not installed"
CM7 nightly #47

hi
i confirm...on miui 1.9.2, after installed script with cwm, when i click on apk from estrong file explorer i got APPLICATION NOT INSTALLED
any solution?
thanks

Panorama Beta on SGH t989
Hi folks i know i don't have the same phone as you, and it's been described as "only a galaxy s2 by name" fairly often on these forums, but i'm very much a fan of this app, sony panorama. I had it on my evo 3d, and even with the built in panorama feature in the galaxy s2 phones, i feel this one works much better for uninterrupted panoramic shots, whereas the galaxy s2 feature stitches pictures together resulting in blurs where the stitching takes place and discontinuity of the image.
Anyways. i apologize for this being my first post i have actually been reading around these forums for quite some time, just never signed up for an account.
i was wondering if the file listed here for flashing could be changed to work for the SGH T989, as i have used several files meant for the 19000 such as the v6 supercharger. However, i have also tried to flash a bootanimation only to find under further research that my stock rooted rom does not have an "insecure kernel" and can't flash bootanimations and the like.
So yeah, i was basically wondering if the reason the flash did not work is the same as the bootanimation, and if there's anything you can do to help me obtain this awesome app.

[Q] Ocean waves live wallpaper

I'm interested in getting the Ocean waves live wallpaper on my Galaxy S2, the one that Samsung Galaxy S originally had by default. Found it on the market, but it doesn't work. It crashes before loading when i try to select it. Is there anyone that has a working version or can anyone report that it works on their Galaxy S2 ? Thanks

I'm suffering the same problem as well. I contacted the samsung apps, but no one replies.

that wallpaper is really amazing
help please
some dev can port it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

yes the ace users also want this live wallpaper .... so we r with u

+1. Me too !

I have an evo shift, and I loved this wallpaper as well when I had android 2.2. Unfortunately, when I upgraded to 2.3.3 it stopped working, same force close error. I read somewhere else that this is because the libraries that this wallpaper uses are incompatible with android 2.3.... Also, because I am not a developer and know nothing about programming these things, I have no idea what that means or how to fix it. I'm hoping that somebody can get this wallpaper working on 2.3 soon, because it is beautiful and I would love to be able to use it again.

Great substitute for Ovean Waves live wallpaper
Since I haven't been able to find a working version either, I came up with a substitute.
Install Touch Ripples from app market. Be sure to get the paid app so you can change the background picture.
Set ocean waves.jpg (attached) as background within the wallpaper app. Move the size sliders (at top) all the way to the right for the best picture.
You'll want to play with the settings to get the ripples just right. At least we can have a look-a-like until samsung updates the wallpaper app.

+1 for ocean waves
This is the best live wallpaper

It rocks very very nice wallpaper, thanks!

I miss all of the SGS wallpapers. This, Aurora and Blue Sea

This and Beach live too!!!

I miss those wallpapers too!

Ive loved the Samsung LWP since the original Galaxy S...essentially the issue with many of these ported Samsung LWP is that they do not work at all on 2.3 and will only work with 2.2. I have tried several ways to try to install them however as far as I know looking at other threads regarding to these LWP is that the Samsung LWP was relatively integrated into their framework, in part with TouchWiz, therefore cannot be ported easily. HTC Sense is also relatively the same with only one that I know of which works perfect with 2.3 but requires relative changes to the root of the phone (does not work on Samsung but worked on all other HTCs). All the others FC unfortunately.

Koi free live wallpaper is equally good and its free.
Nice water effect.

Hello Guys,
This can be worked in ODEXED build roms only. The name of Wallpaper is "Secretwallpaper1.apk" with a odex file(I have renamed to .txt, please rename to .odex extn). Find the attached file & push both files in /System/app with rights of -rw-r--r--. then reboot.
If anyone can Deodexed the apk then it will be wonderful.
Hope it will work.

[GUIDE] Enable Tablet UI on Samsung Galaxy S3 (And Others)

****WARNING, THIS BREAKS MARKET FOR SOME APPS AND CAUSES YOU NOT TO BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD SOME APPS**** see bottom of this post for the fix.
Example on my phone running in Tablet UI.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im9WV9GmQFc
Required:
ROOT
A file manager that supports root (Like ES File Explorer)
Wouldn't try this on stock software/launcher, but let me know how it goes.
Note: It makes things a bit hard to read, even if you make the font "Huge" in the settings.
1. Create a backup of your phone.
2. In ES File Explorer, go to the SYSTEM folder.
3. Open build.prop with the ES Note Editor.
4. Change the line ro.sf....LCD Density to =160.
5. Save. Reboot phone.
Ta da, tablet mode. This may work on other phones too, but as tested it requires a lower number for lower resolution phones which may make it impossible to read/use.
If you have a Nexus 7 Tablet, use =170.

Wont a resolution other then 160-240-320 break the market? Some apps will not show up for non standard DPI I think. Not sure.
Also I used this yesterday, as I tried to download Cut the Rope HD, even if that didn't work. I was surprised what 160DPI did to my phone. One X international.
Anyway confirming this works on the One X for me with CM10.
But if you find a way how to switch it without the use of DPI change let me know . Something like the paranoidandroid project.
I found few guides, but they do not apply to my phone. Or I do not know where those files are to decompile them.

Use your regular DPI, download your apps, then switch the DPI. #winning.
Cut the Rope HD (Lite) shows up in the market for my Nexus 7 Tablet (DPI set to 170, stock is 270.. i think). Going to test with S3, i'll update in a few with my findings.
Changed DPI to 160 on the S3 and went to the Market, Cut The Rope HD lite is listed, installed fine and runs perfectly fine.
So i have a DPI of 170 and a dpi of 160, market working on both devices, unless you have a full list of apps I can test, doesn't seem to affect anything. If so, just do what I said above. Should get around the issue.

That did not work for me. Once market gets the wrong DPI, some apps wont show up. Last time I tried I ended up with Nandroiding back. Even clear Data and Cache didn't work.
The lite shows up everywhere ... Thats not the issue The one on sale HD doesnt and it says I have no compatible phone with that.

Oohh gotcha... I'll have to do some more testing then I guess. I usually only use the Google apps and that's it. Maybe Facebook twitter and such. Personally haven't noticed anything else missing. Ah well lol
Yeah you're right. Even on play.Google.com it says incompatible. Argh. When you nandroided back did it fix it? Or is this still broken for you?

I love this game and it worked great on my old tablet but for some reason this version has cannot be installed on my Google Nexus 7. I tried the HD lite version and it says it's compatible but not the one I've already paid for.
That gets me wondering, because it says ALL my devices are incompatible (S3, Nexus 7, Nexus S and Nexus One). The Nexus S and One are unmodified. I'm wondering if this is one of a select few apps that are affected? I can download Asphalt 7 no problem at all on both devices (Nexus 7 and GS3)

I think you misunderstood me there completely or I confused you there a bit.
1. Forget the Cut the rope HD. It has nothing to do with the problem is anything of the problem. I just mentioned it because it was the reason for which I changed my DPI to test if can download it.
They have trouble with it on Nexuses etc. As said, I wanted to test it only with it, I couldn't download it before as well. (was for it also changing device name etc, making myself to Xoom, Eeepad etc)
2. Using not standard DPI indeed breaks market , but for example apps like Beautiful Widgets, HD Widgets that I remember.
3. I would rather go another approach, if not using paranoidandroid. And the tweaks to the java files. Maybe we could use bigger fonts. Not sure how that would look like though

It's available for 4.4.2 but when one tries to download from playstore on our note II it doesn't show up,in the desktop play store it says incompatible so many of us grabbed the apk and it installs fine.Now where the problem begins is not all users are lucky depending on which 4.4.2 ROM or to be honest not really sure why get FC,but the most common reported problem is the wrench icon for settings when clicked it gives FC (not for me) ,and some of us tried various techniques to get it work i uploaded my /data/data/com.androidGoogleCamera folder on this Thread ,but didn't really help anyone when they copied pasted mine on theirs,so to sum it up i played around with google camera but at least for now it doesn't offer anything more than what our stock samsung camera app offers ,i use stock samsung and lenovo camera the most.
