[Q] where to submit bugs ? - Paranoid Android Q&A

Hey guys,
just wanted to submit a few bugs but don't know where to proceed
The two bugs are :
- something with the quick settings shade when there is a chromecast on the network, i can post a video but it looks really strange
- preview resolution in the new recent view are very low, it is a bit disappointing on a nexus 5 but it really looks ugly on a nexus 7
Anyway, thanks for your work !

1. Known issue with android. Happens on stock and aosp
2. We know.
3. Just as most of the threads indicate, the announcements, the change log, the blog, the community all say, bug tracker is at

[CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [01/23] FRX04 Reference!

​
​PLEASE, FOR THE SAKE OF MY SANITY. READ THE FAQ FIRST FOR QUESTIONS!
F.A.Q.
​
This in NOT an emulator, nor is it a full ROM! Haret.exe closes down Windows, and boots Linux off of your Storage Card to launch Android. To boot back to WinMo all you need to do is reset your handset!
This thread is more specifically for the Rhodium, as this is the handset that I own, and can troubleshoot and test. So if you have specific questions about a different handset, please find your corresponding thread in post #2, however, this build will support the following devices: Diamond, Raphael, Kovsky, Topaz, Rhodium, & Blackstone by using the corresponding startup.txt found in any of the .rar files.
This package does work for both GSM and CDMA, however, the CDMA troubleshooting thread is at the following link: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=115443​
NOT WORKING IN THIS BUILD:​
BT
Camera
Headphones
Speakerphone (no mic)
Battery Meter (about 75% fixed now)

Notes:​ Read this before you start!
THIS THREAD IS NOT FOR YOU TO COME HERE AND TELL US WHICH OF YOUR FEATURES IS THE MOST WANTED. WE ALL WANT THIS OS COMPLETELY WORKING. PLEASE, BE PATIENT LIKE THE REST OF US.
If you think you need to post a question in this thread: READ THROUGH POST#2, AND USE THE SEARCH TOOL FIRST!!!! Most questions have already been answered in this thread. I don't mind answering GOOD questions, but I really hate people asking the same questions over and over, ESPECIALLY when the answer is only a few pages before your post. DONT BE LAZY, THIS FORUM IS FOR DEVELOPMENT, NOT CUSTOMER SERVICE.​​Download Section: Project Android Rebuild
​Appreciate my work?
​ScreenShots
Other Devices:
This package will work on other MSM devices however, you may have some stability and functionality issues. If you are having issues with another device, other than the RHODIUM, check the dedicated forum. Most users on this specific thread only own a Rhodium, so we cannot test/troubleshoot other handsets!!

reserved for me, just in case
This is much better. AT least noobs like me can clearly follow this thread. Android on my Tilt 2 tonite. Thanx pioneers!!!!!!
Just a quick note that the 'rhod210' keymap (which is default in this build) should be pretty OK for almost all Rhodiums, unless you have an AZERTY layout or an odd European one with lots of accented letters mapped to Fn key combos. You can use Fn+Y to get the 'pipe' symbol | (may seem useless to many of you, but for those of us who poke around at consoles a lot it's invaluable :>). You can use Fn+W to get the UK pound currency symbol and Fn+E to get the Euro currency symbol - these keys are labelled on some Rhodiums so I figured I'd just implement it for all Rhodiums, as it may come in handy sometime.
if you have an odd keyboard layout but just want to use this build, the keys should behave like the layout pictured here:
http://mynokiablog.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/keyboard-2.jpg
so just press the keys as if they looked like that.
One day one day.... we shall have wifi I hope. Thank you for all your hardwork.
I'm trying to do something about wifi ATM with the kernel guys, but it's not simple. The problem is the Rhodium uses a completely different chip than most other phones, for wifi / Bluetooth (it uses a Broadcom BCM4325). No-one's got anything at all out of that chip yet.
Good show.. Thanks for making XDANDROID accessible to everyone.
BTW, Wifi not working at this time creates a good "shutdown/reboot" opportunity for now. The Shutdown option in Android does not seem to be working yet and so was interested in a way to shutdown/reset the phone without a "soft reset" poke after removing the back cover.
Found this by accident:
>>
Settings->Wireless & Network Settings->Wifi (Click to Enable Wifi) and boom in a few seconds, the phone is off like a light.. Hit the power button on top and we have a full reboot..
>>
Edit: The Wifi crash is fixed in the 02/03/10 build mentioned at the top of this thread. So need to open the back cover to reboot..
Man this is really nice. I can't wait to get a Nexus One but this will do for the TP2 for now. Almost there for everything to work. Can't wait for the release with sleep mode fixed and BT working.
Bootup problems
Not sure what/why, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working as I can't get past the boot screen (touch the android) as the screen location doesn't seem to match up. Any ideas??
[EDIT] My bad, misseed the touch screen calibration...

Isnt that the same chip as the nexus and the iphone?
sd73ta: yup, indeed. In fact we might need a NAND dump from the n1 to fix it. The kernel guys took the driver from the n1 source, but we can't make it work yet.
edit: not quite the same, in fact - well, same as some iPhones, but the n1 has the BCM4329. The 4325 and 4329 use the same driver, though.

have you checked out the dream/nexus one subforums here for a dump or a NAND? i know there are always new dumps and NANDS in the dream forum, if there isnt one, i suggest you get ahold of cyanogen here on XDA. he is the android genius on the dream/mytouch. he might be able to lend a helping hand actually.

Does anyone know how development on power management is coming along? The most recent builds seem fine for everyday use as far as functionality goes, but battery drain is immense.
It seems like acceptable battery life is the only thing that's keeping this project from offering basic everyday functionality (WiFi, camera and GPS would be nice in the future)

Barcode scanner, offline (no internet connection needed)

Hi guys.
Who wanted a free barcode scanner? Here we are...
No network connection needed; app based on zxing library and Kevin Marshall's (from Clarity Consulting, can't remember his blog url now) code.
I just slightly modified the original code and added a few (probably useful but not sure ) services.
App interface is very simple: run application, focus on barcode, and wait until code is recognized. Touch handset screen to run recognition again.
Buttons description:
- "Save" saves captured barcode to jpeg;
- "Bing" and "Google" used for barcode web lookup (probably this part needs more work)
- "Mail" and "SMS" used for sending recognized code text.
Enjoy!
UPDATE 1: v 1.1, auto focus added;
UPDATE 2: v 1.2, orientation-less UI added, project moved to opensource at googlecode: http://code.google.com/p/barcodescan/
UPDATE 3: v 1.2.1, slightly changed autofocus logic, now works better on HTC. Download link: http://barcodescan.googlecode.com/files/BarcodeScanner.xap
UPDATE 4: v 1.2.2
- barcode search improved;
- added HTC detection, changes in autofocus logic;
http://barcodescan.googlecode.com/files/BarcodeScanner_1.2.2.xap
Is this a marketplace app?

I can't seem to get it to do anything. It says 'Scanning...' and I'm trying different distances to codes, but nothing ever happens. Any pointers?
Is this limited to any country or is it just reading out what the barcode says?
OK, lets go through step by step:
- it's not a marketplace app and have no chance to be published 'cause it uses undocumented camera API; you should download and unpack attachment and sideload the app;
- if you can't capture the barcode, try better lighting. Also, move a handset to autofocus camera. In my tests the scanner captured 100% of barcodes: from books, computer part boxes, foodstuff...
- it's not limited to US 'cause (I believe) the barcodes are international. And yes, it's just reads the barcode; however you may bing or google results, in the most cases search engines able to find product/book description or specifications.
It's a very basic scanner; if someone can recommend online API/service to parse barcode value, I can add it to the program (but I really do not want to spend much time for this)
It technically works but the issue is lack of AF or Macro access.
On my Focus, it only works if I scan a barcode off of my PC (do an image search for one) --then it's super fast and quick.
Books, CDs, etc. do not work, regardless of lighting or distance--I suspect because the camera is not trying to AF. Any work around to that?
I've tested first on HTC Surround - work perfect (I can prove). But you've right about Focus'es bad autofocus (LOL, sound nonsense - "Focus have no autofocus"!).
Will see what I can do... Any other suggestions or wishes (about barcode lookup, UI, etc.)?
P.S. Fixed (reload version from the first post), now working good on Samsung Focus.

Boom.
Working great on Focus now. Nice job. Think I'll try an LG next... bwahaha
As far as changes, no none right now. I'm sure what other apps use for barcode price comparisons--but perhaps a tie into Amazon or eBay would be good. Too bad you can't just jack into ShopSavvy's system with it, lol. If I think of any, will post back.
Edit: Working on LG Quantum too!

Nope. Fine on my Focus. It does work with accelerometer, you sure that isn't it?
Works well on my HD7! Great job! Hopefully it will tie in with Amazon and save previous searches within the app etc

Do you have any interest in releasing the source? I may have some time to improve upon this a bit, but I'd rather not start from scratch (or step on any toes re-creating virtually the same thing).

Send me a PM with your gmail and I'll add you to the project contributors. Do not forget comment each commit, increment solution version and promptly build community release (and upload xap to the project's download page!) - and you allset
BTW, there are many things to improve: better UI (completely orientation-less), additional functionality - commit found barcodes to database etc. etc. etc.

problem htc hd7
how do i copy this scanner programme to my htc hd7
i really hate this phone i had a htc touch pro 2 and it was far better can someone help me out here and also if some one can teach me how to customize personal ringtone would be great
Thx for the code. Really usefull to learn from this
Sometimes when you scan a barcode and touch the screen to start again. After a few seconds it stops and shows the last barcode again.
It looks like the UI thread is catching up scanning some images. How to get rid of this?

Sorry, I don't have a time for that application now but it should be significantly refactored.If you want you may join the project and continue development, we can share some ideas for app improvement etc.
As for problem u described, you should play with the different capture resolutions or give some hardcoded "pause" to recognition library Also, MS camera API (still not officially allowed) is not documented and very poor... However it's a great field for experiments and hacks
Thanks! That works great on my HD7.

Im not that experienced in multiple threads. Do you think the problem is in the Zxing lib?
Looking at the code the Zxing lib should have a completed event from which you can restart or show the image.
This code works but is racing and racing in the UI thread and after finding a barcode and restarting it looks like something from a buffer is used..
Code:
private void GrabFrame()
{
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() =>
{
if (_Camera != null && CameraVisualizer.Visibility == Visibility.Visible)
{
WriteableBitmap wb = new WriteableBitmap(640, 480);
_Camera.GetCurrentFrame(wb);
wb.Invalidate();
ScanBarcode(wb);
wb.DisposeIfPossible();
GrabFrame();
}
});
}

[App] Prepay Widget needs some testers!

Hello everyone! I am the developer of Prepay Widget, a powerful app that allows you to monitor your account balance through USSD requests.
You can find more info about USSD on Wikipedia, but basically these are short, SMS-like messages used by most GSM and some CDMA providers to deliver information
or control account services. The actual information comes to you in the form of popup toasts, which thids app hides and parses into widgets.
You can find the apps landing page on XDA at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12348102
However, i want to stress that its important that we get some device-specific feedback, so please post in this thread if you have issues,
this helps me keep track of bugs and requests better.
You can use the Lite version of the app - it has all the functionality of the full version apart from automatic updates (not really that important imo).
As I haven't got one of these phones in my pocket, I need some testers to track down problems. Please, use this thread to comment or
suggest features. It is my belief that addressing issues is best done individually by phone, so if something doesn't work, let me know and I will fix it ASAP.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.ussd.widget.lite
Debugging:
Please use the "Write to developer" item in the Settings menu to send logs. Enable debugging, reproduce your error and then send the logs.
Make sure you include a description - the more detailed the description the better.
Screens:
Guys, im working on an update in the next few day and i really need some feedback!
I have updated the app - please let me know if this fixes your issues!
Hi guys. Any issues to report before we start working on a new build?
Count me in dude, ill be happy to test it for you
Sent from my Glitch powered super mother******
Great! Please, report back in this thread.
By far the best app of its kind! Love it!
Certainly its way better than the competition!
App is now in Top New Paid on the market
Working perfectly atm - one of my favorites for sure!
Come on guys - i would have thought people would be willing to test a totally free and awesome widget!
Still nothing?
How is it working?
1.1.3
- New USSD intercept mechanism (beta)
- Update status animations added
- Log graphivs changed
- Rare device specific errors fixed
- Some update bugs fixed
Lets get some feedback please!
Any issues to report?
So, has anyone had a chance to do some testing?
Any issues to report?
As I'm on PAYG and you dont seem to be getting much responses I'll D/L it and give it a go for you and let you know in a few days.
Most people on pay as you go are cheapskates, they just steal the app or use the free version. At $1.28, its a steal.
Any issues with yesterday's update?

Unofficial AOSP 4.0.4 Changelog (Commit history)

I had a little time on my hand so I took this and cleaned it up (removed docs, repetitions, collected kernel commits, ...).
Note that this is the internal commit history of google developers. You shouldn't read too much into it because:
1.Most changes are under the hood stuff that is only interesting to developers.
2.It probabely doesn't reflect all the changes google made
3.Some changes may have not made it into the final release
4.Some changes are specific to other devices
5.Some don't make sense without looking at the code
Nevertheless, there are some interesting descriptions that reflect some of the stuff people have reported : faster rotation, dial redesign, android os battery bug, lock later after power button, keyboard lag, etc.
I have added "****" before ones I found interesting for us users.
Pastebin Link
Thanks for this! Very interesting.
Good work for collecting and identifying the changes understood by Users......
Thanks for this! You might also want to consider starring "More aggressive fix for phone lookup issues" (the comments after this are very telling) as I have run into this issue.
Nice work.
It's annoying Google don't provide an official changelog. Especially considering they push such things so hard for apps when they get updated, what with the new What's New bit.

[Oct 27] Official XDA One Forum App [Alpha] [APK] Version 0.1.14

XDA One has a successor. It's called XDA Labs. Click here to get it
Greetings all!
When we launched the 2015 new forum template, we promised that we were also getting ready to release XDA One, which is the first forum app for XDA developed entirely in-house (thanks to @tilal6991 for working on the code, @rwestergren for building the new API, @bitpushr for helping with server stuff, and @jerdog for his coordination). In its current (alpha) state, XDA One is a fast (and nice-looking) way to browse and post in the forums. You can access our mention/quote system, see your subscriptions, send PMs, and more. In the future we plan to add tools for moderators, integration with our Development Database, support for tablets, and more to make it the "One" place to experience all of XDA on mobile. :victory:
We have open sourced the app so that any can help make it better. Please access the XDA One GitHub repository to see the source code and/or to contribute. :highfive:
FAQ:
Why is this app in alpha?
It's not done yet and bugs still exist. As we put finishing touches on the app, we'll move closer to a beta release which will go on Google Play. Until then, we want XDA members to give it a try and help us find bugs.
What are you doing with XDA Free, XDA Premium, and Tapatalk? Will they still work?
For the foreseeable future, these apps will continue to be supported.
Why is it called "XDA One"?
As mentioned above, our vision for the app is for it to be the "One" place where you can experience all of XDA from your mobile device. In the future we will more deeply integrate the app into the site.
Are you going to charge for XDA One or will it be free?
Our plan is to make XDA One ad-supported.
I found a bug! Or, I have a feature request!
Post them in this thread. If reporting a bug, please describe the issue, steps to reproduce, and tell us what hardware and ROM (OS) you're using.
A couple of technical notes:
XDA One is developed using the Android Studio IDE. A simple debug build can be compiled using the XDA-One:assembleSimpleDebug gradle task. We will adopt the "Fork & pull" model of collaboration. Collaborators are encouraged to fork the project and submit pull requests for XDA's review, in order to be integrated back into the main release.

Source Code
Finally an app made specifically for XDA. How about making the actual developers of the app post in here so we can all thank them?
Check out my icon pack!
Excellent! Great job guys! ?
Installing now. ?
Very much appreciated by all I am sure.
Yay!!
Awesome! Trying now. Thank you for releasing it as Alpha!

Oh Goodie! Finally!
Installing now!
EDIT - Clean Crisp UI. Loving it!! Like the Gmail Style Refresh. Just one observation. When I am in Subscribed Thread list and press Home, relanching the app Brings me back to list of Forums not Subscribed threads. Don't like this part.
Bye Bye Crap A Talk!
Thanks guys, been using it for a day now and I made a list of stuff I ran into:
The search button should have be more prominent, it shouldn't disappear until the user is in a thread. It's still useful when in a sub-forum so it could be in the location of the star when in a thread.
The brown doesn't make a whole lot of sense anymore, it's nowhere to be found on the site so why is it still in the app?
When opening subscribtions I think subscribed threads should be the default view instead of subscribed forums, but I guess that depends on how users use the subscribtion functionality.
There's a lot of space in the blue square with the user-name and avatar in it, you could list the message, quote and mention counts there, and I'm not sure why my e-mail address is there?
Giving the new thread button such a prominent place doesn't make a lot of sense and I think it encourages posting a new thread instead of encouraging users to search.
There should be a way to add a device to "my devices" from the app, perhaps a star in the action bar just like the subscribe stars on the forum list when in a device forum?
The button for opening the "insert smilie" looks like a place-holder, but just to be sure it clashes like crazy with the rest of the interface. And I think "insert emoticon" would be a better name for the interface.
This is meant in the most constructive way possible, I've just been reading a lot on interaction design and couldn't help myself. I'll try and fiddle with the color scheme a bit this weekend, I have something like this in mind.
Thanks @svetius and @Woody for linking me.
Reporting back in a few minutes.
I like this color scheme, and this is exactly the kind of thing we were hoping to see when developing this app. Looking forward to seeing your contributions!
Thanks @svetius and @Judge Joseph Dredd

Please make sure that before you install this you are fully aware that it is an ALPHA (it even says so in it's title ). So there WILL be bugs. Best way that you can help the awesome team that put this together is by submitting a "proper" bug report with a logcat attached.
Don't know how to pull a logcat? Well I have just the thread for you. [GUIDE] Easiest Way to Utilize Catlog Believe me, a logcat and bug report go soooo much further than, "It's broke. Please fix". We've been using this for about a month and it has come along tremendously since then.
Also note that a Bug Report is not the same thing as a Feature Request. Knowing the difference will help everyone out in the long run.
Will install it, let's see how good it is!

Using the app now, really smooth. Would like to select what screen the app will open on (subscribed, notifications, news, etc). Also the reply UI is a little cramped,maybe if you widen the text area it will make it look a lot more comfortable.
I also agree with the previous post the the smiley icon clashes with the entire UI.
Also, I now that the hamburger drawer is the Android way to go, but I think it would be better if I don't have to scroll through it. Add a settings button or merge a few options in to one so that all the links information fits on one screen.
I appreciate the hard work, looks awesome and I look forward to the finished product.
Been waiting a long time for this and will take it for a spin! Cool
So, I've been using it for a while and it looks amazing! The design is waaaay better now, and everything's more clean! Thanks for the nice app
Yay!!
Ohhh yeah been waiting for this since the forum redesign and svetius mentioning an app in the comments on portal. For an alpha, this is fantastic! Great work all involved :highfive:
Edit : I couldn't find a way to edit my post... So I'm editing my post from Tapatalk which reinforced this statement... Xda one SMOKES Tapatalk for speed. Absolutely annihilates it
I am loving this! Be testing starting now!
@Nick Fury, the new version is available now.
I've been looking forward to this release for months and months now (probably even longer - dependant on when I first saw it mentioned) and am glad to see it's here and working great with it sure to get even better in future releases.
The only thing I've noticed so far is that checking new mentions/quotes doesn't clear them from the site. I realize it's only an alpha though so there'll be a lot which isn't included yet
