Hi folks,
I'm the owner of an M8 and one of the things that made my decision to go with the phone was the remote control app.
I've never used the EPG function and just went with TV provider not listed to get access to just the remote functionality. Now they've stopped us from doing that, just to add a new room or remote.
Here's what I want to ask the forum. With the tools that we have as a community, we're able to unpack and modify Android apps. What I want to do is remove the area/post code part of the setup and drop users into adding a remote/room and it just be an app that just does the remote function alone
1, is this a worthwhile endeavour?
2, what are the legal aspects of this?
3, would I be able to post it on here as well as on Google Play?
I would like to release it on Play for other users to use, but that could get me into some legal issues unless I remove all references to HTC, but that is immoral and I'm not keen on that idea. Please reply with any ideas on how I should go about this. Am I able to do anything on the back of them abandoning it?
Mods: I'm not sure if this is in the right place, so please move it if required.
If it's free, u could always post it in the apps & games section of XDA.

You'd probably get more feedback once people check it out...just a thought.

why not just use many of the free or paid compatible smart remote applications? anymote being my favorite.

Hi everyone,
I have created completely new icon set for Windows phone to help developers build better looking apps.
You can find them on ..seems I cannot post links yet..
Disadvantages:
They are not for free.
Advantages
They were originally designed in a large-size format, which allowed me to pay extra attention to every rounded corner and half-pixel line.
If new WP chassis ever comes, the shape format helps you adjust the icons into any size in a matter of minutes.
Every icon is designed with a pixel perfect precision. They look even better than the ones from MS.
Lots of them come with more variations, so you can cover every function of your app.
What is your opinion?
Should I continue in creating WP icons for more specific areas?
Nice, I know this may sound odd but I had a heck of a time finding a good set of metro media icons that had play,pause,stop,ff,rew,skip back,skip forward, repeat, and shuffle.
Thanks Dbeattie. Some of them are in Microsoft SDKs folder ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Icons ), but others (repeat, shuffle) I could design in next pack.
There ya go mate, linkage with clickage
And thanks
Nice, they look good from what I see. A few of them look really similar to icons already out there.

Also for those interested, here are some more icons for your future use.
Welcome to XDA Ladicz. Please familiarize yourself with the forums rules before posting further.
Forum & Marketplace Rules
It will see limited usage if it's not free.
If you are going the not free route, then have some way to let developers buy them (with appropriate license). There's nothing worse than coming across a great set of icons that we can't use and with no way to legally use them. Just wasted effort.
Hi xHausx, Thank you for reminding rules. I have read them. But not all obviously..
My intention to help other developers do better looking apps (by creating high quality icon set and sell them to them), increase their sales, make users happy and help whole platform rise was blind.
I fully respect deleting my "link". If I will write more, it could easily end with flame war or my ban. So instead of wasting our time I will work on my first WP game. Hope you will see it on marketplace soon. Or maybe my first 10, 20, 50 helpful posts.
I'm not used to this so it may have already been posted, but I'd like to know how to install apps onto my HTC Arrive. I just switched from Android and all you have to do is drag and drop the apps.
Thanks for your patience.
you mean homebrew apps? or the apps on the marketplace?
if it's apps on the marketplace, there should be a tile on your home screen that says "Marketplace"
if it's homebrew apps, you have to register as a developer on msdn.microsoft.com, (dev license is $100, but they are giving away lots of dev accounts)
Lol no, I meant like where we don't have to pay...like you jailbreak on iphone and android you just download the apk.
You simply can't. XAP's have to be deployed via developer tools. For this your device has to be developer unlocked. WP7 is a heavily sandboxed system so it doesn't allow direct execution of XAP's via a fileexplorer etc. Maybe with a fully unlocked custom ROM.
google "chevronwp7", (cant post links cos i'm new here), they do dev unlock for you, but they have a limited number of devices they could unlock per month
or, if you are student you can get it unlocked for free.
OR, you could look for ROMs on this site

Chevron stopped to be sold from about january... So the way is to install a ROM from this site...
this would probably be a good start

Wow...looks like I'm going back to Android 5/7
We can't tell you how to do it as it's against the forum rules to endorse/discuss piracy. It is possible. Go search the darkest corners of the internet
well, there is a lot of basic thing you should to know....
if you want to "adding"(we call it deploy) app to your phone ,you should unlock you phone as first
there is 3 way to unlock your device but you can only use develop unlock on HTC Arrive at this moment(as far as i know)
it;s complicated ,some how like to jailbreak your iphone,and jailbreak is much more easier
you can use search to learn it ...
then ,you should install wp7.1 sdk(you might have already installed it when you unlocking you phone)
and you should have a deploy tool to deploy apps on your phone....
and ZUNE is required as well

You can discuss unlocking, of course. But not where/how to download cracked apps.

Searched high and low for this but have not found a guide for setting this up.
1. I need this as a way to use two Google Voice accounts on the same Android device. One GV number for work and one personal. (Ironically this is the only reason I still use my iPhone as my primary cell phone.)
2. I would love to setup a third profile for my 10 month old daughter so she can play with the phone and not have me worry that she is accessing/modifying/deleting sensitive information.

Looks like you are right. Its too bad. This is such a KILLER feature! I hope there is a way to side load this on to the nexus. Maybe flash it with a Tablet ROM or some other custom ROM?
top feature
Any unofficial choice ? Pleaseee )
its only for tabs and not for phones.. the only way to use it on the gnex is to flash pa which has this feature added

is it the PA 2.99+1??
Code:
/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml
<!-- Maximum number of supported users -->
<integer name="config_multiuserMaximumUsers">[COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR]</integer>
Change the number to whichever you like.
Code:
/frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/UserManager.java
public static int getMaxSupportedUsers() {
// Don't allow multiple users on certain builds
if (android.os.Build.ID.startsWith("[COLOR="Red"]JVP[/COLOR]")) return [COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR];
return SystemProperties.getInt("fw.max_users",
Resources.getSystem().getInteger(R.integer.config_multiuserMaximumUsers));
}
Either change JVP to something else, or change the number.
Good luck.
Go vote up the feature request (cause I'd love to have it on my phone as well for my baby to play with):
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-139
I also took tristan202's post and commented on the ticket as well.
There are mods that enable it. But there are also apps. Try this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hcHBhaG9saWNzLnVtIl0.
Or this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.sferadev.multipleuser
Thanks. The first one looks like a hack for 4.1, then again I just skipped 4.1 and went straight to 4.2 from 4.0.
I wonder how he did the 2nd one, since it is java code than needs to change and be recompiled. Then again, I am not an Android developer (yet - this may make me pull the branch and patch it myself). So this may be compiled in the Java VM on-boot-if-changed and cached for reuse. That would allow anyone to change it via ADB.
Think I'll try that myself.
I wonder why it was disabled for devices with phones.
People on tablets report a perfect user experience switching between users on 4.2 and keeping everything separate, including the apps and settings.
So if that was the case, and a phone call was received when User B was using User A (aka "Primary User" for 4.2 multi user setups), what do u think would happen?
What about an SMS or even MMS that allows saving of attachments?
Clearly those are intended for the "primary user" account on that phone. But the saving of user data gets changed under multi-user mode to those virtual aliases like:
/storage/emulated/0/
/storage/emulated/1/
Etc.
Clearly this may have issues when devices with cellular radios in them and receiving calls and SMS/MMS.
Maybe that is why?

Also, if logged into one account and "switching" to another, it can take 3-8 seconds. And that is on the tablets with faster ram and cpus than our phones.
The idea of "switching" when ur phone is ringing might not be viable.

Hi everyone! I'm new here and need a bit of help.
I run a news website, with daily articles and occasional reviews. The site is already responsive. I would like to develop a multiplatform app for it but I don't want something simple like those app generators.
Firstly, all I want is my latest articles to be pulled from an RSS feed and shown in the app. Later, I would like to allow readers to comment and post on my forum.
Now I don't want them to load the pages or use a browser. Everything should be done in the app and then stored on their devices (Like the Android Central app). I would like to start developing for Android first but have no idea how to start. I have some knowledge in HTML and CSS, would that help?
Thanks.
You can go for Phonegap

I like appery.io. It uses PhoneGap in the projects so they can be multiplatform. The projects are easily available and editable through webbrowser. Also testing the applications is super convenient :good:

Of course you need some programming skills for this, but they have some tutorials so you can learn as you build the application.
Good info
Got a rooted vk815 and have been digging into the camera capabilities and settings on the device and on Qualcomm and Android Developer websites.
Anyone know if
It's possible to change the vk815 capabilities (for example, enable changing white balance and exposure) via the camera_config.xml file?
What part of the device controls the available camera settings?
I've dug through Qualcomm chipset specs and the most information I've found is that the ISP determines the resolution and auto-focus, but I've not definitively found out whether it's carrier software, device or hardware manufacturer that's responsible for the other capabilities.
Anyone? Should this be in a different forum?
Posts that are in the Q&A format (not just that it's in the Q&A section) aren't displayable in TapaTalk. I can't speak for anyone else, but when I enter Q&A format threads in TT, it prompts me to load the thread in a browser because TT isn't capable, and I wasn't willing just yet since I didn't think I'd have anything valuable to contribute anyway, but now that I'm on a PC, I thought I'd tell you in case that's why no one's answered (possibly all on TT and too lazy like me to load the thread in a browser while mobile).

@xdabbeb might have the needed knowledge about LG camera hardware/software since he makes the X-Cam app for stock G3.
