How reliable is Google Marketplace Device Compatability Report? - Android Software Development

I have been playing with side by side tablet/smartphone version of my app using the single marketplace listing method, and whilst that works, I have some curious reports of what my app will and won't run on for example:
Galaxy S2(GT-I9100) NOT COMPATIBLE
Galaxy S2(GT-I9103) COMPATIBLE
Galaxy Tab 10.1(GT-P7300) NOT COMPATIBLE
Galaxy Tab 10.1(GT-P7500) COMPATIBLE
And so forth, with many identical devices having different status....
My manifest snippet:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="8"/>
<compatible-screens>
<!-- all small size screens -->
<screen android:screenSize="small" android:screenDensity="ldpi" />
<screen android:screenSize="small" android:screenDensity="mdpi" />
<screen android:screenSize="small" android:screenDensity="hdpi" />
<screen android:screenSize="small" android:screenDensity="xhdpi" />
<!-- all normal size screens -->
<screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="ldpi" />
<screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="mdpi" />
<screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="hdpi" />
<screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="xhdpi" />

Have you tried getting rid of all that and just letting it default to allowing all screen sizes?

Not an option unfortunately, As I need to be able to offer differnt apps to tablets to what I offer to smartphones on the single marketplace listing.
My listing actually has 2 APK's (this is just the smartphone one), the tablet one is API 11+ and xlarge screens in it's manifest, and seems to work OK.
If I remove all that, then the markeplace will try and replace my table version when I make it live, I have to exclude xlarge from the smartphone version, and exclude everything but xlarge in the tablet version.
Anyone got this working?
Did find this thread, which seems to be the same problem, however the solution (removing it all) is no good for me.

mToday ( Profils 2 today) Free

I found browsing on the Internet a little program here is very interesting
Description: mToday is an application for you to switch between two today screen profiles to enable/disable pre-defined today plug-ins quickly and conveniently.

thanks Vicott Wong
nice catch bro, i like it
thanks
great find, thanks.
hmm, interesting, thanks.
Nice idea, but very very slow.
good but keep improving
This is a good idea but as mentioned slow, so keep improving.
If you want a quick second today, take the battery status today. Then you have two today screens. But this kill one today and go to the other today. This good to save memory. For me its good. In one I have all my things. And if I want IGO8 I take the other.
NEO130,
Could you please elaborate what is the "battery status today" that you use for mToday with minimal memory?
I try to do the same: one mToday profile with the applications I commonly use and the other mToday profile for iGO8. The profile with commonly used applications works OK but when the link of the empty profile for iGO8 is invoked it stuck my HTC Trinity such that it needs a hard reset. The succeeding boot yields the empty Today.
Not a convenient way to switch profiles, though...
Thank you,
Shkauf
Hi.
I posted this over at MobiSapienz but it may be easier to chat over here?
So I read:
"Added command line option to launch settings (-p0)"
When I do:
Run(SystemPath( "ProgramFiles" ) \ "Vicsoft\MToday\mToda y.exe","-p1")
It pops up the mToday Switcher and leaves it there.
Am I not doing the command line argument correctly. I did try "-1" but as I suspected that also popped up the switcher.
I am also assuming -p0 refers to mToday 1, and -p1 would refer to mToday 2.
I kind of wish there were a reg setting for "Current mToday Profile" for last switched profile.
Thanks...

thank you lepsyfou

Enable WEB-PAGE-PUSH ?! Not working

WEB-PAGE-Push !?
I was try to modify my MDA-Vario-v / HTC Touch Pro 2
the design from t-mobile branding was ugly!
That's why I installed the: TF3DIIBlack.zip File
to get the original HTC look.
Here is the Link: http://www.4shared.com/file/109330961/b9be5561/TF3DIIBlack.html?err=no-sess
Current TouchFLO 3D Version is now: 2.0.37889.1
it's working with some Bugs!?
( world-clock and weather-location now in french language ) can't change!?
Under the Internet Tab the OPERA is working, but
the YouTube Link and my own added sides are doing nothing! Why?
Absolute nothing!? Internet connection already exist, and is ok.
Now I believe there are some missing Registry-Entries?
For example:
Not existing: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\Internet.Def aultCount
Can't find: XML file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<InternetPortal>
<IncludeUserFavorites>True</IncludeUserFavorites>

Registry: .../Manila/InternetPush

and some others... looks ok.
.../Manila/InternetPush...enabled/001
default: nothing
bdownloaded:1

scheduleinterval: 60
url: www.one4prxxx.xxx
also looks ok!?
current_user/software/htc/manila
data.autodownloadoff: 0
internetpush.postfirstrun:1
the rest also looks ok!?
So what's wrong with my system? (TouchFLO 3D)
Is there any way to run web-side-push?
Thank you, for help in advance!
Regards, Gerhard
Did you get your problems solved? To get the German language back in the weather tab, you have to copy the German weather manila file into the windows directory.
What's about the missing xml file? I'm searching for a way to customize the internet tab, e. g. add new internet programs like ICQ under the YouTube link. How can I achieve this?
WEB-Push // Internet Tab not working
hello,
thank's for your help! with the manila weather-file
it works fine, and also for the world-clock!?

regarding your ICQ link!
I'll try the same with Skype!?
there are some posts about how to switch off the push, to save memory
and power. I'll try same settings but in opposite way.
WEB-push currently not working!! I'm sure there's a missing registry entry... because t-mobile version is without this internet-tab
some settings are here:
H_C_U/software/htc/manila
and here:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\InternetPush\Enabled are 4 entry (Keys) 000 to 003
regards, g-s
Yes, these settings has my MDA, too. But it don't work with my MDA, too. Perhaps anybody with a HTC Touch Pro 2 could export the registry settings for you?
I never used a push-site. How does it work? I think, the web page will automatical actualized? I don't need this, because it causes much traffic and the battery will go down earlier. I can actualize the web page by myself.
Did it worked with your Skype Link? Can you use Skype with T-Mobile? I think they haven't allowed Skype?
I don't know, if the weather manila file is also for the world clock, but on my device the cities in the world clock are in German.
hi, thank you!
weather & world clock is working fine now! thank's
right, web-push loads web-side in the background, with
opera-browser, inside the "INTERNET-TAB"
t-mobile version is missing this TAB,
see here: http://www.pocketpc.ch/htc-touch-pro-2/59707-web-page-push-geht-nicht.html#post347386
I still have a data-flat, and at home I use my WLAN for my device!
So I don't take care regarding my mobile-traffic... something between
100 and 200 MByte's monthly.
Yes, Skype is working fine! I use it for longer time without problems,
in main-time for TEXT-MESSAGES, and to check online-status.

Question with Transparent dialer ... almost there! Please Help. Now with APK!!

Ok so I finally figured out how to make the dialer and contact background transparent
[SOLVED] but now there are black boxes around the call button that disappear when the pulldown/notification bar is activated and the black boxes come right back when the notification bar is back up and not pressed.
[NOT SOLVED] The other thing is that it doesn't fill the screen anyone have any solutions to these issues?
Edit: I tried to change the padding in dialer.xml in layout-long-finger to 0.0 and that did nothing.
Edit: when I made the image btn_dial_textfield_pressed.9.png, in the folder red/drawable-hdpi-finger, fully transparent it then goes full screen so I am assuming that the size of the background image isnt being told to be stretched and I do not know where to look or how to fix that.
Edit: The black boxes are really pissing me off ..
Edit: here is the APK so someone can look at it.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21010599/Help/Contacts.apk <--- this has the completely transparent background (btn_dial_textfield_pressed.9.png)
EDIT: here is the semi-transparent image file so no one has to make it http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21010599/Help/btn_dial_textfield_pressed.9.png
EDIT: ok so the black boxes are gone!! I replaced the code to the call_background.xml in drawable:
Code:
<item android:state_window_focused="false" android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" />
<item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@android:drawable/keyboard_background" />
<item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" />
didnt make the call backgound transparent though like I thought it would ...
I am still having the issue with the background image being the wrong size though when its not fully transparent.
Here is the NEW Contacts.apk with the no black boxes.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21010599/Help/ContactsNoblackBoxes.apk
Images for the NEW Contacts are below this picture here:

I tried it, loved it, but the only annoying thing is that your theme has to be on System. It's not that big of a deal, and I'm not sure how it all works with themes and color schemes, but I prefer the Androidian theme.
I still use the transparent status bar, love that. Great work, thanks.

That's not in Honeycomb is it?
The notification dropdown clear all button for GB is in SystemUI.apk/res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml
Look for: android:text="@string/status_bar_clear_all_button"
Somewhere on that line is: android:textColor="#ff000000"

Yep. I see it there in 3.2 as well.

b00sted, the png is there too, in SystemUI.
The entry looks like this:
Code:
<TextView android:textSize="14.0sp" android:textColor="#ff000000" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/clear_all_button" android:background="@drawable/btn_default_small" android:paddingLeft="15.0dip" android:paddingRight="15.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="4.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="1.0dip" android:text="@string/status_bar_clear_all_button" style="?android:attr/buttonStyle" />
So the text color would be black.
The image would be btn_default_small, and since that's overridden by an xml (drawabe/btn_default_small.xml) it holds the names of the images for it's different states such as btn_default_small_normal.png
The text is in values/strings.xml with the name "status_bar_clear_all_button"

thanks bro, god damn thing been giving me a headache for 2 days
You're not out of the woods yet.
I'm thinking that's one of those system-wide colors since I'm seeing white text on my buttons and that's from my ROM. It could be using one of the colors from framework-res.apk/res/values/colors.xml

I am jsut going to color the button black from white and pray for the best bro lol.
You could always make it blue or some darker shade or something.
I once changed all the colors in colors.xml to different random things just to see what did what.

[Q] Blurry Wi-Fi icon on stock ROM

Hi. I just want to ask, how to fix the blurred Wi-Fi icon in I9301? I know, it's a small detail, but it really bugs me. Also, the signal and battery icons aren't straight relative to each other. The battery icon is placed higher and it doesn't look very good. Here's a screenshot :

I tried to replace the wifi pngs from GS4's SystemUI to our device, but they're the same, the problem lies in the XMLs I think. I know that I already made a topic about that, but it seemed to have no attention at all and it was buried.
