Car Home Project

I am wondering if anyone can take up this little project.
Basically this is the Car Home from the T-Mobile Vibrant and i am wondering if anyone can play around with it so that A: it can fit on the Galaxy Tab (app does not center properly as you can see from the picture), B: if the Contact icon can be made to work properly (as you can see an error mesage comes up) and C:when selecting the search icon nothing happens(the one on the right hand side of the contact icon)

Maybe just not in the 1 day since you posted it.
There's already a few good car home apps that work fine on the tab, which may be partially responsible for peoples reluctance to spend their spare time on this project also.
It's probably just a case of changing the name of the app it's calling, why not take the APK apart and see if you can work it out yourself?

i extracted the apk, but that's as far as i can go. have no idea what to do
this can get the ball rolling
as you can see there are three folders layout, layout-land, and layout-port
i dont know how to mess with xml files or dev in any other way, so someone can take a crack at this.

yea, the default google one is pretty good. i plan to use it in my car w/my tab and the samsung car mount.
on a side note, using the car mount right now just on my glass desk. works pretty dang well too!

That's pretty cool.
Looks like most of the images are intended for a 480x800 display, which is the resolution of the vibrant. You'd probably need to go through and scale a number of the images to fit the higher resolution screen of the tab. (Edit: Looks like the app is intelligent enough to scale this itself)
It's possibly a fair bit of work, but probably not all that hard. You mainly just need to extract it, work out what to edit, make the required changes, remove the META-INF tag and then manually resign and recreate the .apk. Not quite as straightforward as that (you'll need the Android SDK for a start). Might be a good exercise though.
I might have a play just for something to do. Maybe
Edit: Right, as with most things, _way_ more difficult than I estimated. I've decompiled the APK and I'm having a poke around in the sourcecode. I'll see how I go, but it's quite possible that I'll end up giving up and putting it in the "too hard" basket. Disclaimer: I'm completely unfamiliar with this sort of code so I'm having to decipher the syntax as I go. Editing just the graphics is a piece of cake, changing application calls and layout is a different story.

I managed to get most of it sorted. The icons are now centered and the Contacts button works. The search button doesn't even seem to be _trying_ to do anything though, so I'm not sure what it's supposed to achieve. I might just get rid of it, a text-based search in a car dock app seems a bit redundant to me.
I don't get a "Voice Search" icon on mine, I get a "Browser" icon instead, so I'd be interested in seeing what happens on yours.
The .apk is a little larger than the original, probably as it's being compiled against a newer SDK.

I fixed the "Alarm" option not working with the Home dock application as well:

I do have a car home app that came with Roto's JME v4 but i still like the one from the Vibrant.
I am not a programmer so i would not know how to fix it.

Great work on the Car Home, but i was wondering if you could make some changes:
This what it looks like on my Vibrant, any way you can get to look this way?
and in regards to the Desk Home, the Alarm does not work i get an error message:
and one question on the Desk Home, on the weather icon next to the date and time shouldn't it show the current temperature? on both the Vibrant and Tab it just shows 00 C, not that important but it is weird that it does not update after you set the City and change the temperature to F on the Daily briefing icon.
Thank you again for your help.

The apk on your vibrant must be different, the one I'm working on doesn't even have the images for "Phone" or "Music".
As for the alarm, I've no idea, it works fine here. I'm running the JME firmware which may have something to do with things.
The weather displays 00 if it doesn't have a net connection, it works fine as soon as it can access the server, but it looks like you've got data running. Can you put it on Wireless and see if it updates then?

I don't understand why you're getting different icons than I am. It'd take me a lot of work to decipher it and try to fix things, someone who has a better understanding of smali code would need to have a look at it.

The Car Home from my Vibrant i got it via the market when it was available, the one currently on my tab i got it from the link on my first post so i could not tell you why they are different. Well i gave it a try, i'll keep it the way it is but it looks better than before and at least the contacts work. Thanks.
Regarding the alarm i am lost, i am running Roto's JME v4 so not sure if that has anything to do with it.
In regards to weather on the Desk Home i'll try and get better signal and i'll try wifi connection see if makes a difference and i'll report.

Well it seems that Samsung came out with a Car Home app and you can get it via the Samsung Apps app

[APP] Quiet Time for ICS - Please help me test my first App

Hey everyone. When upgrading to ICS broke my favorite app, I decided to try to make my own.
The app is supposed to monitor your calendars and automatically put your phone on silent during events/meetings/classes.
I would love it if anyone would be willing to try/test my app and let me know if you find any bugs or have any suggestions.
And if any more experienced (than me) developers would be willing to take a look at the source code and tell me how I am stupid and should do things some other way that would be even better.
Thanks for looking,
William

I just fixed two bugs and updated the apk in the first post and on the android market.
If you are actually planning to use the app, you really should get it in the market so I can push updates/bug fixes to you.

What a great app! Thank you very much!
It would be great if you could select different ringer modes for different calendars. So I could eg. have the phone muted when I'm at work and on vibrate when I'm at school.

Thinking about this more. How would you expect it to handle double bookings?
If at this moment you were supposed to be in a meeting at work as well as a lecture at school, which mode should the phone be in? Obviously it would depend on which on you were going to play hookie on. But the app obviously can't know that.
The way the app polls for events now it would be controlled by which ever one started first, and if they started at the same time, it would be random/which ever event the android OS decided to give a lower event_id. Would that feel broken?

Would it be possible to give some calendars priority over others? Or perhaps a possibility to prioritize a ringer mode over the other (eg. always use silent mode over vibrate, or vice versa).

Great idea, but you must have the do not copy feature turned on inn the market for this app. If you turn it off I will be glad to test as well.

I just checked, I do not have copy protection enabled. Why would that give you trouble anyway? The app is free on the market, why would you need to copy it?
If it is just not letting you install, are you on an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM? Your signature makes me think not. This app uses the calendar API which was introduced with ICS so it will not work on older ROMs.

If you have copy protection turned on and someone is running a custom ROM, I am, then they cannot download your app. I've had to update my only pay app with market licensing and remove the copy protection.

If you had not figured it out, that's why you can't install the app; CM7 is based on Gingerbread. To use this app you would need to upgrade to CM9 or some other ICS based rom.

Thanks for the update, it's great!

*Edited* NeoBuddy's ICS v7 Is open again and this thread is now closed !

TO All NeoBuddy was able to make amends to the dev he offended and I want to thank Jrummy for his stand up attitude and assistance in resolving this issue.
Listen carefully now, no more trolling or flaming will be tolerated, if we see this going on in the any of neobuddy's threads they will be closed. ***Heed this warning***
Move forward and enjoy your ICS as I do.......***The Moderator***
Just in case anyone was wondering, I believe the thread was deleted by a moderator because it contained pirated apps.
anyways, it was deleted while i was replying to some of the comments in the thread, good thing i ctrl+c'd my reply before i hit 'submit'. I'm sure we aren't allowed to link to the rom any more, but we can still discuss it and any issues with it.

Ok, so I added .nomedia to my clockwordmod folder and titanium backup folder in the root of the SD card. The media scanner quit eating battery after that. Results may vary... (i have not done the init.d mod, wondering if I should)
So far no big hiccups, I'm really digging v7. Great work.
Problems:
GPS when turned off doesnt appear to be to happy trying to turn back on without a restart.
Cant find/mount my external microSD card (doesnt show up under external_sd or sd)
Samsung official car dock will not keep the display on (but whats cool is in the desktop dock i now have a neat clock with the display staying on)
In car mode the phone goes to side orientation, but the actual call (when your in a call) does not switch to side orientation.
Can't edit the display settings for the home screen (icons, and "dock options) they just activate and never go to a menu.

how'd you do it? i did a "batch restore" and it seemed like it worked, but none of the apps show up in the app tray.... but titanum shows that the apps are "restored".... also i'm trying to restore the "data" for a couple games as well, so it has my scores and stuff that i've unlocked...

hey guys, just curious what is the notification toggle app used for? i've never used it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it lets you put shortcuts in the notification pull-down bar, for example, the most useful in my case would be the "USB tethering" page, so when i click it, i can choose to tether via wifi or usb, simply by pulling down the notification bar. the "icons" are completely black so it doesn't get in the way.... also the actual button you press on is extremely dark so it's barely noticeable, but just noticeable enough that you'll see it when you need to click it.
my question is, it might be a simple question, but in settings > more > what's the "WiFi direct" button do? and how come the apps that i attempt to restore with titanum backup aren't showing up at all? are they even being sucessfully restored?
also some goods tips would be in Rom Toolbox, go to the Performance tab and click on build.prop Tweaks and change the Wifi scan interval rate to 180 from 90.
also in Settings go into Developer Settings and turn on the Force GPU rendering and also in that screen, also change the HDCP checking to "never use HDCP checking"

I knew that would happen eventually when I saw things like root explorer in some of his roms. Bummer, I like his work.

yeah, but all he has to do is remove those apps, and simply reupload.... well since he had an ongoing dispute between the mods, it might not be possible to repost on xda, but there's always gonna be http://rootzwiki.com/forum/71-vibrant/

Looks like his backup, rootzwiki post was taken off too...

oh, and for reference, for people who have lag on their v7 roms, here's what neobuddy posted to fix it (again):
I suggest you need to flash fresh after doing these steps:
1. Open zip file on your PC.
2. Delete /system/etc/init.d
3. Place THIS file in system/bin
4. Flash it. Enjoy no lag but less quadrant.

you would "right click" that link, and save it to your desktop and remember to DELETE THE EXTENSION (the .txt), so you would have to "view extensions for known file types" in your windows explorer to be able to erase that part.

For titanuim backup i restored by doing a batch but having the apps ask to install one by one. Takes time but thats what brought them back with their data no system apps.
Didnt know what happened thanks for the clarification on the removal.
Hope things get straighten out.
Still on the hunt for the hd playback issue anyone got some ideas.

yup, its not in the rootzwiki vibrant developer forum

hope he can repost soon or get another forum up and going. Just got home and was looking forward to reading the thread more... Good luck nb

XDA got topic removed due to no Source Code posted and Hacked Apps included.
I agree its my mistake to include hacked apps (which I won't include in next versions)
RootzWiki removed due to such apps used without consent of main app developer. Yes, the app code was from other app.
There are many topics in the Developer Section which contain such apps without consent of Developer. However, they were never reported..
I will be cleaning these apps and make new Topic at other Forums after having talk with Nelson.
I have PMed moderator at RootzWiki to clean the links and restore the topic but I am not sure if they would.

[Q] No group MMS thread setting...

Wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I got my Nexus 4 (Yeah!), started it up, logged into my google acct, everything started downloading/restoring from google. I checked out the Messaging app and settings, and noticed a "group messages" setting. Sweet!!! But then I got a system update notification. I obviously installed it. After installing it, I used gobackup pro to restore my messaging threads. NOT THE APP, just the threads. Checking the settings again, the "group messages" setting was gone! Just gone! Not sure if it was the system update, or the thread restore, but I am perplexed. I've done 2 factory resets since, but the setting is still gone. Messaging ver. is 4.2-57622 or something like that (don't have the phone with me at the moment.) I'm guessing it had to do with the system update, and that is why it's still not there after the factory resets, but, I really have no idea. I am stock, no root, or unlocked bootloader. Stock, pure stock (the reason I bought a nexus device). Any help or related info would be greatly appreciated! I've searched everywhere, and seem to be the only one with this issue. Any screenshots of anyone else's messaging settings running that app version would help too. Thanks

Hmm, I've done the OTA update and I've still got the setting.

Same here. The OP's problem is very peculiar. OP, what cell provider are you using? I doubt this is it, but is it possible that this option isn't available on certain cell providers and Google removed it in the OTA? That is, could it be dependent on the SIM that's in your phone? I doubt it, but I'm just trying to identify some variables. I'm on T-Mobile and have the option.

You may be right, cause I am only on wifi right now. The phone is a Christmas gift, so I am only messing with it to make sure that I like it, and don't want to return it. So it would make sense that not all carriers support this type of messaging, and wouldn't show until your phone recognizes a supportive carrier. Like you said, it may not be the case, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. The only variable is that the setting was available pre OTA, but disappeared after the OTA.

I'm not sure why this isn't getting more exposure... Fixing the group messaging was a huge step and now it appears to be broken for some.

Ok, here's the deal. I have a N4 running 4.2.
Everything was working great up until today as far as group messaging. I switched from ATT to T-Mobile last night. Now the option appears to be gone, and it's not working anymore. Is this something specific to T-Mobile's network? Do I have the wrong MMS APN settings or something?

For T-Mobile, check the APN settings.

Did the 4.2.1 update and the option is back. Weird.

I am still seeing this issue but on a Galaxy Nexus.. I had the group mms option on 4.2 and it worked great.. I hadn't used group mms since I got the 4.2.1 OTA update the other day but I just did and back to separate threads and the option is gone like the OP.. any ideas?

Are you talking about the option to "use MMS to send a single message when there are multiple recipients"? I'm on SIMPLE Mobile (t-mobile's network) and i have the option. FWIW.

I'm having this issue still on a galaxy nexus on 4.2.1 on tmobile. As far as I know I never had the option, even in 4.2.
Ive tried wipung and reflashing multiple different roms, and even flashed a modded apk with no success at getting the option to show.

OK, so to put this topic to bed. I just got my phone setup with att, and the group messaging is back! :thumbup:It must be carrier dependent. Anyone having the issue should go tho their carrier and see if they support group messaging, and see if they can help you set it up.

Android for Work compatibility?

I've done quite a bit of searching, and input every search term I can think of, but haven't been able to find an answer to this question: Does anyone know if the Zenfone 2 Laser ze551kl supports Work Profiles for Android for Work?
*EDIT* -- I figured out a way that people can test to see if their phone natively supports Work Profiles (required for Android for Work using Google's MDM): Test DPC, Google's profile test app for developers. If you (or anyone else reading this) is able, could you download Test DPC on your ze551kl and at least go through the initial steps in setup? If the phone doesn't support Work Profiles it will through up a message saying as much (tested the app on an s4, which got that error message) in the first few steps of the setup.
All more general searches I do only bring up results for the recent firmware update that added support to the ze551ml (not the ze551kl). When I narrow the search enough to exclude that model from the results, I only get results for lists of articles or queries that have separate, unrelated posts for ze551kl and Android for Work.
It's too bad all manufacture's don't just include support for the Work Profile (i.e., the AT&T S4 I currently use issued as a work phone still doesn't support it).
So -- does anyone know the answer to this question? I'd really appreciate it.

Its got the ability to have different user profiles, but I'm not sure if that's what you're referring to. Is it an app or would it be in the settings menu somewhere?

It's a bit different than user profiles, but similar.

It essentially creates a containerized section on the phone for Google Apps for Work. You end up with "two" hangouts, gmail, contacts, etc (which is nice, because it removes the account from switching account options in apps -- like when you share to Hangouts and it makes you select an account everytime if you have more than one). Instead of the work accounts device policy enabling it to see all apps installed on phone, have permissions to remote wipe, the Work Profile makes it so that the work account device policy can only see information in the Work Profile, and only has permissions to remote wipe the work profile.
I currently use Android for Work on my Moto X Pure 2014, and carry a separate s4 issued by work. I'd like to just put both of those sims into one phone, but I need something decent, that supports data on both sims (data connection active on both at same time not required), that also supports Android for Work.

Gotcha, I don't really see any Android for work options anywhere in mine, is there anything you had to download from the Play Store on your Moto X to get it working?

Unfortunately it's only something you can verify if you start setting up a Google apps account that can use it. Otherwise it doesn't show up anywhere.
I really appreciate you digging around for it though.

Ahh gotcha. If I hear something, I'll let you know. Might be worth a shot to email ASUS about it.

Unfortunately, we have an answer. Maybe there's hope they'll add support with the Android M update?

We can only hope. Really appreciate you taking the time to test it!
Still trying to figure out if all devices on Marshmallow (whether launched with it, or updated to it) include support for Work Profile. Seems like that's the case, but having a hard time finding a definitive answer.

That would be awesome if 6.0 supports Android for work natively, at this point it probably should.
