did you know that if you go to pictures and video and then menu and options and click over a tab you can select a screen saver to run while you connect to the laptop..
and you can jot down a note on top of the picture using the transcriber and then click over to screen shot and make an awesome note with a picture background that you can send to your friends.
also axyz mobile makes a program called keep recordin' and since i like making music i can just play an mp3 in the windows audio player and record your voice at the same time, perfect for audio notes.
this is all for now.
p.s. lets clean up these boards and learn to be kind to eachother yet again

[APP] [GAME] Pocket DoND v0.1

Pocket DoND is based on the hit TV show Deal or No Deal. In the game, players attempt to beat the Banker by choosing boxes to open, each of which has a random amount of money inside.
This is very much a proof-of-concept, but I'm releasing it now to get feedback to improve it further. I've no idea how long it'll last before the lawyers set about things, since it is a bit of a rip-off, but it's free and hopefully fun to play. ;-)
Turning on debug mode (Menu -> Options -> Debug) will give more information about what's going on behind the scenes when you start a new game.

Still to come:
Much better layout (boxes down the middle column)
General improved spit and polish
Improved deal algorithms

All feedback appreciated!
IMPORTANT - this game is VGA only
Download - V0.1

Thanks! I'll check it out.

it's funny ^^

Here's a version I wrote a few year ago

Endermol weren't very nice to me.
Threatened to sue my a**e over copyright laws.
Hence, I've never released the game

Project for developer?

Ok. So my company purchased two 7" Android tablets pre-production from China. They turned out to actually not be "real" android as it seems to be running a skinned down Android on top of Windows CE. We are looking to place Android tablets in retail locations for a pilot test. I'm looking for a developer that would be able to do one or both of the following:
1) Put REAL Android on here. It doesn't matter whether it is 1.5, 1.6, etc. but we don't want Windows running in the background for the obvious reasons.
2) Develop a VERY simple (but pretty) application for a registration process that would guide the user through entering the values for the questions we are asking. The trick to this app is we also need a way to completely lock the device down so that the user can only use that app. Maybe a hidden button in a corner that would prompt for a password so that we could get out of the app.
We would gladly send one of these tablets and let the dev keep them for their time and we would also be willing to discuss pay based on time invested. Please PM if interested. Pics of the units below:

Bump...........

Porting Android to this device is probably an insanely time consuming and difficult project. Just look at the Android porting projects for various Non-android HTC Devices such as the Touch Pro/Diamond. Takes for ages as drivers needs to be written, etc...
I think you would be better of thrashing those fake tablets and maybe do some proper research next time you buy something from China..

MOONLIGHT on ANDROID - controller deadzone calibration

Hi all
Firstly - FANTASTIC effort in making these technologies available! I've been playing Borderlands 2 using Trinus and Moonlight on my S7 edge w/ VR headset, which is feeding the full stereoscopic VR experience from Trinus/Moonlight/Tridef3D on my PC. I'm using a USB tether to keep the quality high, and I'm incredibly impressed to say the least.
My one remaining issue before I can enjoy games fully - my Bluetooth controller (SteelSeries Stratus XL Android&Windows) has two analogue triggers, which intermittently set off out of the blue, and often stay triggered. This wreaks havoc as you can imagine.
I'm hoping someone can steer me in the right direction, possibly by answering a few of these?
• it's the Shield technology that sends the controller signals from Android > PC, correct?
• if so, does Moonlight fully rely on the Android controller mapping and configuration, and receive signals from Android? Or does Moonlight work directly with the device?
• is there a method for altering the controller mapping, for example to introduce a deadzone.. or (worst case) even disabling these triggers?
Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help - I'm on the cusp of a fantastic experience here..!
Regards
Matt

Are there any utilites that can assist someone troubleshooting game controllers - I haven't found anything useful yet

Spoof android.software.leanback feature

Hello,
I'm in the process of developing a single Android application that runs on multiple different types of devices.
From normal smartphone, tablet to Android TV.
The layouts and styling for each tend to look quite different.
To manually test these applications I can resort to using emulators.
A big downside to emulators is that they tend to take up a lot of valuable resources from the development machine.
Therefor I prefer using real devices. (Ideally just 1 device).
I can use my smartphone to test both the normal layout AND
with the help of the smallest width option in the developer settings I can also test the tablet layout.

However there is no such option available to spoof/fake Android TV/Google TV on my test smartphone.
AFAIK Android has a kind of prioritisation which layout it tries to inflate.
When it detects a device that has the android.software.leanback feature it will inflate the TV-layout which typically resides in the `layout-television` folder.
Programmatically I check it as such:
Java:
getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_LEANBACK));
// PackageManager.FEATURE_LEANBACK == "android.software.leanback"
Reference documentation https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager#FEATURE_LEANBACK
Since this system feature is missing for normal smartphones it will never work.
You can find the supported features with:
Code:
adb shell pm list features
After some digging I found you can add these system features when you have root access.
They are kept in the /system/etc/permissions folder.
So I simply copy-pasted the `tv_core_hardware.xml` from the Android source code after which I briefly saw my phone render my application in Android TV.
Also the hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_LEANBACK) returned true!
Unfortunately the screens goes completely black after a second or two and reboots in panic mode.
TLDR; How can you force Android TV on a rooted smartphone/tablet?
FYI my rooted test device is an OnePlus 6
Thanks in advance.
