(I am brand new to android)
can any one tell me , how to move to new screen on clicking on list view row?
Thanx in advance
Wrong forum buddy. This is for ROM development. Regarding your question, you should learn a little more about activities and views.. and switching between activities.
is there a way to get rooted by holding certain burtons on startup
I used get. Root whenever I want on a pc loaded with a unix program.
Then I has a minor stroke that zapped my memory only like I can't remember my pet name and since then I call my wife
mom.so ya see I got problems and all I want is root on mt evo
Tuehy
correction
Pets I mean I have like 9 of em

I am so curious about my first android toy (X10), I am very excited, so I'm ready to be flamed and bashed for my noob Qs (search is not working properly )
Oh yes ! I'm a noob again
My Qs:
1- How do I sort my contacts list in last/first name instead of fist/last ??
2- Is it possible to auto-sync contacts avatars to their corresponding facebook profile pic ??
Thanks for being kind
If you've come from WM then you will know we all have to be a noob at some point.
On the contact front, don't think the stock phone book works that way. I use a freebie app called Gesture Search, you use it to draw with your finger the first letter of your contact, be it first or last name. You can add more letters if you need to narrow your selection down. There are probably other phone book/contact apps out there on the market and others can point you in the direction of their favorite.
There is another app called Sync my pix which lets you bring over Facebook contact pics but I think that the 2.1 update due very soon gives you a better Facebook for Android app that lets you sync Facebook and your phone.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Android!
these are small issues, but somehow dissapointing
will I be able to sort my contacts with the OS upgrade ??

I must admit, the flavour of this post is a little better than the one asking us to read the user manual for you
You're going to go through a big disappointment phase, noticing Android just isn't anywhere near as customisable as WM. This will soon turn into elation when you realise Android isn't anywhere near as buggy, ugly, or downright crap as WM.
Android 'works', WM doesn't - it's kina the between WM and Apple - you sacrifice some customisation but you get something nice in return that doesn't need quite so much anyway...
I don't think you'll ba able to sort your contacts - google "Android releases" or something to find out a little more about that... there's also a thread in here somewhere that lists a whole lot of changes.
also, think outside the square on this one - maybe just re-write them lastname, firstname and there you have it. of course that's a pain, but it's a method.
I think syncing with Facebook is part of 2.1 (not sure though).
My advice is to let go, and embrace the new platform for what it is - I went through a ton of pain moving from WM, but it was worth it!
Enjoy!
thank you k1sr
Soon there will be less Qs and more collaborations
Great to see u on here gtrab and I'm stoked for what's to come.
Imho once u get familiarized with android u will like it way more than winmo
Is it possible, and if so, could someonw create a sizable widget for one of the video players on android tablets. Id love to be able to have a window that was a quarter or half the screen that would let me play videos while still having the ability to create documents, or browse email or what not.
Im not a programmer but would love to help in any way. I could see this being a big selling point vs the ipad and would be favorite thing about an android tablet. id be happy to donate funds or whatver and am open to diuscussions on how to get this going. I also suffer from insomnia and figure that may help somehow too. Any feedback would be great. I can have it tested on the galaxy tab, the lenovo thinkpad tablet, skypad alphapad and a couple others. I dont need my name tied to it as its just something I want to see up and going. I can trade legal copies of MS software as well.
Please if anyone has any ideas , help if you have the time

Hello forum,
First of all I'm not sure I'm posting this where I should.
I have searched the forum for the information I am looking for but no luck so far.
What I desire might not be easy, not sure if it's even possible:
I know that my girlfriend needs and wants a tablet(a simple one) , so I ordered a serioux visiontab s800 which will be shipped today.
I want to setup an app or if possible in another way, to play a certain song when booting the tablet. Or even after it has booted. I just want it to start playing a song all of a sudden
If this is possible , I might want to start working on it asap, since I will give the gift on Thursday.
Do you folks reckon that is possible?
Thanks,
Deletu

Here's the simpliest method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539795
Just create a poweron.ogg file and put it in /system/etc (ROOT NEEDED)
if that didn't work:
I believe that you can , just find a timer program that works as soon as the mobile boots , here's how:
1-Search on google for a method of adding a startup program , "How to add Startup Programs Android", google is not working for me so sorry.
2-Search on youtube for "Android Developement Tutorial" by "thenewboston" , it is a series of 100 Episodes , when you reach Episode 20 , you'll have known how to create a music file that plays when the app is launched , so in your case , you'll add that music and make it play once the app is booted.
3-Make the App you created above play on startup.
4-You're good to go
Or you can make the music play on shutdown!
If I helped you please click on the thanks button.
EDIT:Found good threads on how to add startup programs:
http://www.ehow.com/how_12022095_add-startup-applications-android.html Just download startup manager and do that.
Hi Dev's/fOmey,
firstly I'd like to say thank you to ALL developers/ROM chefs/Kernel makers for feeding my addiction.
I'd like to especially single out fOmey for building the Null_ ROM's,
I have used them on my S3 for some time now after trying a lot of other ROM's and as a VERY fussy user in his 30's ( I'm so old :'-( ) your ROM is the only one that so far and with a bit of tweaking has come sooooooooo close to ridding me of my ROM addiction/affliction by being soooo close to perfect for me.
The horrible irony is that I can't help myself when it comes to shiny new gadgets so less that a week after spending months (I **** you not) getting my S3 how I wanted it, those nasty men at Samsung dangle the S4 in front of me........bastards!
I can't resist, I have to have it, so I now am the proud (and slightly ashamed) owner of the I9505 (and an S3) and I can't carry them both around with me without revealing to everyone what a hopeless hardware loving nerd I actually am.
Now for the begging part, please please please PLEASE tell me that someone's going to work on a I9505 ROM that has the features included in Null_ ROM! :fingers-crossed:
You see ....... I'm not well. I need to have the following to allow me to be the ultimate nerd!
In no particular order this is what I need to work in order for my head not to explode
Ext2-4 SD card support
So I can symlink the folders I need to my SD which in turn I can encrypt and cloud sync.
IR remote control app
So I can use my phone to control the TV, HiFI, DVD and THE WORLD! (last one's optional)
Underclocking
So I can get the best battery life possible.
Virtual CD emulation
So I can use DriveDroid to boot my fully encrypted PC's using Trucrypt rescue disks instead of the unprotected standard bootloader.
Virtual Keboard/mouse emulation
So I can use my phone as a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
Lockscreen Torch via home button
Because I am scared of the dark!
Call Recording
So I can use Total Recall to automatically record my calls!
Sound Mod
Like the ACID Mod so I can effectively block out the world
Visual customisation
Like the JKay framework
Transparent Multiwindow
Because duh !?!!
Per app DPI
See above
Can I please have all of this like yesterday so I can make a real effort to never look at another article showing the latest and greatest phones.
If not is there a support group I can join for other afflicted souls like me :cyclops: !?!?!
HELP!
Virtual Keyboard Mouse Emulation
Look at an app called Wifi mouse, you have be on the same wifi network for it work.
bro kindly just be patient most of what u mentioned are tweaks u can install on your Rom so wait a bit and they will be floting around soon
posting in the i9505 will be more helpful

Thank you for the idea Gordon.
I've had a quick look at this b4, unfortunately it requires a "server" program to be installed on the host machine.........that's the worst I can say about it though as it works rather well other than that.
Ideally I was looking for phone to be recognised as a keyboard and mouse over either a bluetooth connection or even a cable that would work OTG style.

I was thinking of posting to both but since I was trying to attract the attention of fOmey in particular it seemed more appropriate to post it here.

Excuse me but "patient" ....... what is this strange yet potentially wonderful concept that you speak of?
Hi and hello to all, sorry if I posted in wrong section but I guess its the right one.
I am rather clever person so I should cope, but need guide and help to do so.
I have daughter and wish to create colouring app without buttons like share or any adverts (basically anything that will make her get out of application and start to call foreign country and make my bill horrendously big etc.)
so for start I downloaded all android SDK and Studio.
My idea is to have menu with pictures (ill make those out of disney cartoons in photoshop)
once clicked it will enlarge and show colour pallet (preferably 256 colours, tiny boxes) that she could touch at top of screen,
and enlarged picture at bottom where she could fill empty spaces with desired colours.
device im intend to use is Samsung s4 or s5 my wifes or note 4 which im willing to get soon
I know I might ask for quite a lot but honestly its beyond me. I have tried to google some libs but after 6h I failed miserably.

Perhaps you wish for a child's mode or guest mode in which only certain apps can be accessed? Because what you are suggesting is making an app that you can enter, but can't leave. How will you get out of it when you need to?
Try an applocker that can be disabled/reenabled via a password... This way you can only make a coloring app (and other games) available to her unless she has a special password. Apps like this should block the phone, gallery, messaging, or anything else you wish for her not to access.
Try something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pluggdd.SmartAppLocker , but if you don't like this then there are a plethora of other alternatives.
Now you should be able to allow her to access several apps and games that you deem to be appropriate for her, then, when you need your phone you can exit it and use it however you please.
thanks that will solve a lot of my problems :good: but yet all this children apps have adverts that i dont want her to click and still i would like to create colouring app just for her.

Posting a new thread in a section dedicated to app development might attract individuals into trying to make the app for you.
