The screen resolution on the Aria is different due to the 3.2 inch screen. The author of the program apparently didn't consider different screen sizes when they wrote the program.

thanks for the reply guess I'll get a drone captivate to see how it works

[Q] SPB shell apk

Ok I got the spb shell apk from another site and it installs and works however since it cant be validated by android market it stops functioning if you hit home key or phone is rebooted...my question is is there a a way to prevent this check?
wait, so you're asking how to steal a paid app (launcher)? good luck with that.

buy it! Do you really expect any help with a cracked version?
i dont agree with blaque72 but i think $15 for a launcher is obsurd! look at a launcher like launcher pro, $3.50.. im sure spb is nice but not THAT nice.

There is a way to prevent check, however if you want a nice app like this, pay for it. I mean, if you smoke, thats 2 packs. If you drink beer, thats like... a half-rack. (a days worth)...
People from this forums=
5-10% pay for all their apps.
45-60% pay for some/most apps.
the rest dont buy any at all. I've seen you little annoying kids out side the 7-11's... Yes robo defence is awesome, but they just released a cool new update. Too bad you cant get it yet untill someone releases it... Mine was updated yesterday you tool.

nice! someone finally realizes that paying for apps is a waste of money!
I agree....Devs deserve no compensation for making an app......if they want to make money they should go make apps for windows 7...../sarcasm off
Buy the app and you won't have any problems.

What is a good screen capture app

Screenshot ER, which you can find in the market or elsewhere if you look around.
The device has to be rooted
TouchWiz brings a camera app - at least in the 10.1v test rom - there's a button on the toolbar for taking screen captures now

On my galaxy tab under /system/bin/ there is a program called screencap which works perfectly fine.
You can run it either from a terminal emulator on the tablet or using adb shell.
screencap -p /mnt/sdcard/filename will save the screen as a png.
Words with Friends (Update issue)
I see an update is available in the app itself. Though when I go to "My Apps" in my market it does not show any updates for Words with Friends. I have a Droid Incredible 2 by the way. I am a bit curious if there is something wrong with "My Apps" in the market. I haven't seen any updates for my apps in the last few weeks except for one app called, Battery Indicator. Is there a possible issue with my My Market and apps. I can't seem to even figure out how to do the update for Words W/ Friends (as of today 7/6/12). Would really appreciate any help! Thankyou!
I normally used 'Shootme'
...also requires root, but does not work on the 10.1 (works on Tab 7" with 2.3.3). It does complains about root (although I am rooted) and something about 'low level graphics access).
I guess I'll have to look for something else too.
Thanks for the ideas.
ScreenshotER work just fine on my rooted 10.1.

touchwiz
I think when the Touchwiz update comes out, it will bring screenshot function on my SGT 10.1 .
Don't know but it's build into the touchwiz version and works great

Taking screen shots

I dunno if it's the dual cams, or GB, but all my screen shots are borked.
I've tried ShootMe and ScreenShot which just distort the images something fierce.
I've seen some people post screen caps so it must be possible but I havent seen a single post here about it and I've had nothing but problems....
Whatcha using, or whats the workaround ?
[edit
This is what they come out like...
DroCap2 works a treat for me.
give that one a shot, it's free and on marketplace as well.
Thx bud, as you said, works a treat...
DDMS tool - Android SDK
I use the DDMS tool that you can find in the Android SDK package.
How do you get it to not show the start and cancel options
Edit : got it had to use notification trigger and set the image as jpeg if not they'd come out choppy

Doesn't work properly for me. Seems buggy. Most of the time when it captures a screen, you see the "DroCap2 has been granted superuser..." popup on top of what you are capturing. And most of the time the screen has improper line shifts and blocking issues where it appears the screen got captured mid-refresh.
Mike
I also use Android SDK/DDMS. Will try DroidCap2, but i dont have high expectations. No screencap app has worked yet, as im not rooted and wont be until full root is possible (perm).
Did notice tho that live wallpapers cause tearing in the screen caps.
EDIT: Droidcap2 needs root, so i wont be able to try it, so far DDMS has worked well, screenshots on my facebook page linked in my sig

Wanting to like the phone but...

It seems to freeze up a lot. I will select apps and they do nothing, same with downloads from the market. They just hang at showing them as downloading.
I use SPB Shell and sometimes when it does this it will also stick between pages rather than just flinging to the next it will actually just stop in between pages until you continue to scroll though.
When I select links to open, it does nothing until I actually open the browser. I have only had the phone for a few days and it worked fine, now its doing all these weird things.
Anyone got any suggestions or ideas, let me know otherwise I'm afraid I may be taking it back...
Something may be wrong with the phone. I haven't experienced none of that. Even out the box. Actually its been so fast for me that if I experience the littlest bit of lag it drives me nuts. Might be hard ware related.

LOL dude you have the data guard enabled. There is a setting in their that holds downloads and other things in a queue until you are using WiFi in order to save battery. Just disable that and you'll be on your way And the SPB Mobile Shell problem is probably a problem with the app. Contact the developer and tell them about it. There aren't many nVidia Tegra 2 phones out there so it's not very likely they have done much testing on the architecture. Also, what kind of links are you talking about? Like a link you receive in a text message?
Hey buddy aren't you from Hero Land??

I used to have the same problem with apps not responding after pressing. I was using adw launcher I reverted back to stock and everything is good now. Emailed the developer about the compatability and waiting for an answer but the photon is good otherwise
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Yeah it really sounds like you have Data Saver enabled which is located under Battery & data manager in the phone settings. If not you may want to exchange the phone as faulty. I have a lot of issues which my Photon: stuttering during music playback, random reboots (twice in 2 weeks so far), and feedback when using the audio out (buzzing / static). These seem to be common problems but the performance issues you are mentioning do not seem normal from what I have read in these forums.

You would be correct. Although i went from the Hero to an LG Optimus S, and now the Photon.
No problems like that with SPB Shell here. Check the data saver mode. You can also try changing the vm heap to 48 or 64. Mine is on 64 but never had an issue with the stock setting either.
Update...
It does appear that it was SPB Shell which sucks because I was really liking it. I will send a message to the dev and see what happens. The funny thing is that is was working great the first few days that I was using it and then started acting up which was why I didn't thing it was SPB

How do you get it that high? I am using VM Heap Tool and the highest it will let me check is 48.
It's not data saver. Or it shouldn't be. It's an Android flaw.
I've had an Incredible, Thunderbolt and then Photon. Which means I've used a few Android phones over a couple of networks (more if you consider the 4G's as their own networks).
99% of the time my phones work fine. Every so often it will stall downloading an app, or an email will just sit on sending for a longggg time. Unless I am recreating the same conditions over three phones and two networks I think this just happens every once and a while.

I'm glad you found the issue, this right here always tells me it was something you installed that caused the problem. When it worked fine out of the box and then....
Just watch what you install, install one app at a time and see how it flows for awhile after each app. Yes, it may take awhile to get all your apps on but you will know what apps are causing you issues! Like a previous poster said, there aren't many T2 phones, so just be careful what you install!
Glad you found the problem!

Nexus 10 as extended desktop?

Hi all,
is there an app or some funky cables that allow you to use the Tablet as an additional screen?
thanks

There is an app called Air Display that works for both Windows and Mac and allows you to use an android or apple device.

As others have mentioned, there are a handful of apps. In my experience they are all garbage though. Off the top of my head there is:
Air Display
Screen Slider
iDisplay
And each of them has some combination of the following issues:
500+ ms lag
Disables Aero/DirectX
Apps freeze when moved to tablet (expecially browsers)
Not compatible with 64 bit OSs
Can't set size or relative position of the tablet display
I have heard of good results from setting up VNC to stream a second monitor to an Android device, but I've yet to try it. If you find a good solution to setting up your Nexus as a second monitor, let us know. I'd love to use my Nexus and an extra touch monitor for my PC.

Personally I think you will struggle to find an app that will allow you to play games like this without noticeable lag or other problems.

I've always found TeamViewer hard to use for anything substantial due the lag and slow loading times of everything on my screen - of course that could just be my slow connection.

Splashtop works....kinda, have to drop the display from Sharp to Smooth to get rid of annoying green line across the screen.
Like eall so far, there is considerable lag. A cabled solution would be great for my needs for now.

Can you give step-by-step instructions on how to do that? I've tried creating another display but it doesn't work.
