Develop Bugs

APP-11 June 2010 - Magic Poker - Fun new free app

I've created this thread for a friend of mine "Jonathan" as he's developed an app for WP7. He has also ported it over to the Android and is currently working on the same for WM6.5! It's a Magic app that is pretty cool. Check it out and if you have an Android phone or WP7 emulator, be sure to load it up and try to find out how it works. Send your guess's to him if you think you know his tricks. Have fun! Thanks again Jonathan. See below..
I developed the app on windows phone 7. The Android app is the same as the WP7.
Here is the video below.
http://www.youtube.com/v/AUCgcq-Ps_U&hl=en_US&fs=1&
Now the android version is on android market as a free app. It's now v2.0, and tested well on 2.1 & 2.2. Not sure about 1.6 & 2.0, but seems can't work on 1.5. The secret of the trick is hidden inside the app, maybe you can guess by yourself how the trick works or try to find the solution somewhere in the app.
Hope you guys will like it and wish you have fun! Thanks!

i guess he is using the capabilties of the microphone to record what cards they are mentioning, since they are saying what cards they have.

I thought so too, but he specifically mentions he's not using a microphone (or actually, he says he uses only the emulator / mouse).
I think it has to do with where you click on the screen:
If you divide the screen into 4 columns (hearts diamonds spades clubs) and 13 rows (1-10, J Q K) you have a 'roster' on which you can click the correct card.
Note that he doesn't click straight away, he first moves the mouse for a few seconds (which looks to be pretty precise)

The place where I click on the screen really matters. But devide it into so many parts is hard for me to control.
Maybe the video is not very clear about all the things, you can check some screenshots here.

Hi
It's very fine and usable but i can't find the live wallpaper function.
Do you know what can i do ???

It has no Live Wallpaper support because it's still alpha release.
And this feature has lower priority than other stuff that have to be fixed.

It won't have live wallpaper anytime soon. They are not worth fixing because they drain battery crazy fast and are darn slow on our devices. I think they were disabled on purpose in FroYo.

hi, can you tell us, what is working and what no in this build?
I refer about the bluetooth, camera, wifi...

Hi, dedalum!
On Blackstone BT does not work, wifi and data works, camera.... I'll test it! (I think it wont work) --Tested, but the news are bad!
The old kernels does not work with Gingerbread, so camera does not work, yet!
I tried two different kernels, for the camera testing and for the anti-audio stuttering MOD, in the both cases it cant reach the homescreen.

As nasko_spasko mentioned, camera seems out of reach for the moment...
I also asked in VirusCrazy's camera testing thread, and he also gives Gingerbread "low chance", something for the future...
But I should add that there is (probably more than one) kernel out here that fixes audio stuttering, I'm using Gingerbread with a modified 1253 kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11169582&postcount=76
Audio and Wifi great, battery life ~ 20-30 hours (using periodic data for ClockSynch and some weather sync, but nothing else)
Cheers,
Robbert

The audio is the most important issue for me.
I have GBX0A running with 1255 kernel. It's the only one that doesn't give me audio-stuttering since Gingerbread won't boot with the 1498 kernel.
The latest kernels 1260/1262 both work but give audio-stutter.
Only thing i'd like is a new rootfs with keymapping for Blackstone like in the rootfs from 2011-01-31.

very nice build. i have one question though... why is the clock lazy?
it is like the android minute is a second short. is there a fix for this?

Am i the only one having trouble with the keyboard not showing up properly? it's only about 20px high and it's impossible to see there are different keys but if you drag your finger around the popup with the different characters show up so it works but seem to be scaled incorrectly...
I tried long pressing on a text field to switch keyboard and the chineese keyboard works just fine but that doesn't really help me...

Keyboard is a known issue.
Recommendation: get Thumb keyboard from Market. It's free and has different layouts and looks.
Fix for alignment squares: use old ts-calibration file from another build, or use the one attached below. Just remove the extension and put it in the same folder as haret and startup.

Use build in Japan IME. It has Latin characters on the numeric keyboard (like in non touchscreen phones). Should be enough to log into market and download gingerbread keyboard.

Or just put the apk inside the AndroidApps folder (it's inside the andboot one). It will auto-install at boot.
I like the app "Gingerbread keyboard" though. I use it in froyo too.

[DEV] Galaxy Tab 7" LCD screen tuning

Hi Galaxy Tab owners!
Samsung was so kind and sent me a Galaxy Tab (SHW-M180S) to help me developing for it. Thanks Samsung Mobile Korea
That's why, only a few hours after receiving it I introduce support of this device in my research project app named Voodoo Screen Tuning R&D, available for free on Android Market.
This app is very much experimental and not a final product. See it as an internal leak from a R&D lab. But as Linus tells: release early, release often
Please take a look at the app description, and have fun testing this app!
I need your feedback, so.. see you soon.
Note: support starts with snapshot #31.

i have a sch-i800. will it be supported?

However I'm not a ROM guy − if I have a lot of respect for those who deodex and assemble ROMs all day long its extremely boring to me and I prefer doing things not done yet

Thanks, now it works. But I don´t get it, the link brings me to the android market webpage, when I download it there it works great, but when I download in the Market App it doesn´t recognize my device???
Anyway great work! Hope to see more ...

Give a try to snapshot 33
With the overlay interface, you'll be able to see very clearly the effect of enabling/disabling CABC (Content Adaptive Backlight Control)
CABC is enabled in default Samsung settings, disabled in "dev" preset.
Note: much more than backlight is affected, IE the whole response curve with Samsung's advanced & complete CABC implementation.
Example: with a low contrast & dark content, then in the settings (white background)

Is it possible that it doesn't keep settings after a reboot?
Because when i reboot it seems to me that it return to Samsung setting and if i cleck on dev i see the difference.

Auto restore at boot is not yet implemented.
So far I'm thinking about how to write cleanly the codebase to do that despite the variety of device supported, sometimes with "presets" (combination of settings already present in kernel), sometimes with "profiles" (color calibration profiles built from scratch using reverse-engineering and a colorimeter).
I want to write only super cleanly designed code in this app so.. no rush

Ahhh....no worry, i thought it was a bug so i've reported

[Q] ATT Samaung Galaxy Note

Hello,
This is my first post to EDA. I have an unlocked Galaxy Note 717 and was wondering is their any way to use the NFC feature?
I think this feature is locked on the phone.
This may be helpful.

Not sure if your version have or not the NFC chipset , but the simplest way is try to download any NFC related app, eventually try AirDroid as some app’s wont be installed thru the marketplay …
Hope that help

On the I777, it was possible to get NFC (minus Google Wallet) with some smali hacks in Settings and a permissions XML.
I believe the ICS leaks enable it.
This is better discussed in your device-specific forum.

Most of the roms I've tested have the option available to enable in settings. If not, you can check this thread

hi no it’s you don’t have the apps for made the action requested by your headset. NFC need app for made the action writing in the tag/products it’s like you open a word file in your PC but no M$word or text editor ….
your Galaxy note is NFC enabled

I have the Moto App installed and still get the unknown tag error message. If what else I've read is true, NFC has different profiles, sort of like how some of my BT headsets don't support A2DP even though it's Bluetooth.
I will try the Sony one in a bit though, thanks.
*EDIT* just tried the sony one, didn't work either.

The model's the Elite Flip, maybe it doesn't work because I'm not sure if the NFC's offical, I'm running an ICS leak, and I know AT&T for whatever reason doesn't want NFC enabled in the i717. I don't have the international version if that makes any difference.

That don’t made any change, the biggest difference is you have the NFC enabled or not … in the other hand i have see the MotoSoftware is not that much open in AD2P like he must be. But let me figure out , how give a kick in the nuts to both ATT & Moto and made the things work like a Charm.
i will get back to you soon

[APP][WIP] ISeeYou

Hi guys! My name is Mirarchi and i'm an italian software developer that comes from Windows programming. Recently i bought a fantastic Galaxy Nexus and i started a project called "ISeeYou". This program recognizes your face while you seeing the phone keeping on the screen. When you don't look the phone, the screen will go off after a specified timeout. So this is similar to a popular app integrated in the new Galaxy S III.
Developed for device targeting Android SDK rel 9-14 (Android 2.3 and later)
No 3rd party libs. Uses only integrated system libraries(so it SHOULD work on every Android 2.3/4.0 based device).
Detectes the face, not the eyes(for now).
Customizable timeouts and app starts.
Requirements for using the app
Android 2.3 or later.
Front facing camera that detects your face. You can use the integrated Camera app to verify if the camera can detect your face (this app uses the same face detection system)
Known Issues
While using the app you can encounter the "Failed to connect to camera service" error. This is ok because you can't use the camera while the service is scanning your face. You can simply resolve by retrying to open the Camera app.
Cheers!
When the app detects your face, an "eye" icon will appear on the left side of the status bar such as a notification.
Enjoy the app and let me know the results.
Suggestions are also appreciated.
NOTE: UNISTALL ANY PREVIOUS VERSION OF THE APPLICATION OTHERWISE YOU CAN HAVE STRANGE ERRORS!
Edit 20120616: Upped a new version that should be compatible with devices other than the GNex. Now the app doesn't use constantly the camera, but now polls the camera every N seconds where N is a custom parameter. Also you can specify the maximum scan rate that is the maximum time that the camera is occuped by the ISeeYouService. In the next few days i will releasea FREE version with reduced features. Enjoy!!
Edit 20120617: Released the "free" version based on build 20120616. This version hasn't the 5 minutes limit, but there is no possibility to change settings. This will be available in the "PRO" version and i will sell it in the next few days. Stay tuned!
Edit 20120617-2: New version available! Added a persistent notify icon that links directly to the app. Now when the service is running, will show a "closed eye" icon. When the service detects your face, the eye will "blink" for a split second. Now the service runs in foreground mode. This will prevent undesidered closes of the app by the android system and should solve the FC issues. Cheers!!
Edit 20120617-3: Link for PRO version. Enjoy!!
Edit 20120621: v1.2 available for download on google play. Cheers!
Edit 20120630: v1.4 available for download! Added the exception list feature. With this mode you can "Blind" the i seeyouservice for certain applications. The keepOn button will let you to keep the screen on for exceptions apps. Also now you should be able to run the service on 2.3 devices. Enjoy!
Edit 20121021: v1.4.3 available for download! Enjoy and sorry for delay!

I look forward to this. What help do you need to get it out?

Thanks subvertz, for now no help is needed, but your attention is very appreciated! I only need to wait that google activates my developer account for distributing the app on play store.

Why don't you post the app in the xda developers for testing and people can provide you feedback on the same.

Wow, dude you are the man. i've been searchign for something like this for the past month to use on my Gnex. I hope everything goes smooth and when you need testers, i'll be glad to support.

Looking forward to this. Best of luck!

very good project,love only that features in sIII,hope to see that on gnex too.personally i'd want an app similar to that,keep up the good work,i'll follow the development very closely to finally try yours creation.cheers italian friend.

Edit.. *Obvious stuff*
I was actually thinking about making this myself, do it right so I don't have to

Added a demo link on the first post. Enjoy!

The service started but I didn't see any "eye" icons in my stat bar. I then opened the app and it forced closed endlessly

Sorry dude, fc was my fault. Upping a version that corrects this bug.
For the "eye" icon it should appear when detects your face.
Firstly try with the default android camera application to find the optimal conditions (distance and lighting) to ensure that the device can recognize your face.

Wouldnt it waste the battery constantly checking for the face?
It would seem better to launch the service when the screen is going to time out, check for the face and if seen reset the timer

So is this just like SmartStay from Samsung's Galaxy S3?
You should look up the code for that app and see if you can get some ideas from that, I feel like that would be a better start point than coding from scratch.
