Hey,
Just finished developing another app.
This time it's AirDraw.
What it actually does is flashes the letters of a word that you enter according to your phone location when you are waving it.
The outcome is like you are drawing in the air.
Its downloadable via Google Play for free (a little admob ad is inside, thats the reason it needs an internet access permission)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ValkA.airdraw
here is a slow shutter photo I shot while waving the phone (thats on LCD, which isn't that good for that purpose):
If you like it you are welcome to Like my facebook page.
ps.
notice that the app is at early stage, so any ideas are welcome !
LCD has slow response time, but AMOLED should be better.
I haven't tried that on AMOLED display so i'll be happy to hear about your experience, if possible some slow shutter photos are very welcome and will very help me to improving the algorithms.

Does it have to have full network access?

It worked really well, some improvements could be made into visibility and sometimes it turned a word around but further it worked flawless

I know that issue, shouldn't be a problem to fix it in the next updates.
bleeeeeeek, it needs internet access only to show an AD (that is my motivation to keep developing free apps)

Xperia Play: The Best Phone Ever

Seriously! I'am amazed by the quality of this phone. It's not because i bought it. It's because i compared it to other phone Like Galaxy S and G1 and of course my HD
The phone is fast and reactive. The application i installed are very stable and works without problems.
And the Games are actually high Level despite those made from PS1 that sucks because of the limitation of the catalog. (I wait for games from Square Soft titles)
I tried Neogeo emulation and played with the pad. I can tell for sure that any move or combo can be performed easilly. Precision is almost like the PS3 Pad and much more better than the PSP.
In fact i completly forgot my PSP since i got this phone. I don't use it anymore...
Last thing I tried was using the pad to control the mouse of my PC with Teamviewer and it worked ! You can move accurately the cursor with the direction and use the X button to click /Double click. Of course other actions could be performed via the screen.
Great potential for this year, I just hope that Sony will keep updating the device frequently.

Sry man for a phone there is no better device id only because the dpad alone.

Post Pictures from your Xperia Play!

Hello Everyone,
I haven't seen anyone start a post for this yet so I thought I would get the ball rolling. The only edits that have been made to these photos is resizing and reorienting. I've also made some comments at the very end.

I know some of the critics knock the XPlay for not having the best camera, but I think hardware-wise it is pretty decent. The problem is the software that it comes with, which is the native android camera app. It kinda sucks!
* No touch to focus
* No metering options (which really blows....highlights and all)
* No focusing square to tell me what it's focusing on (it highlights the whole screen)
Thankfully since it's a software issue hopefully it will be remedied...either by Sony for the hacking community trying to port over the Xperia Arc/Neo Software.
Anyways, please post ur photos if you have a XPlay!
Here are some if mine

My son, Taken in darkness
Pictures of one of the "knights" at Camelot, my dog, and my daughter feeding the goats at Camelot. I'm fairly sure you can work out which is which!
I find the flash tends to wash out the pictures, but I believe this is true of all camera phones with LED flashes.
BLT hehe

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I use the Vignette app rather than the stock camera. Lots if options available there.

Can you adjusting the metering with the vignette app?
Amongst the many other settings, yes.
Was bored waiting for some friends this afternoon, so I played around with tilt shift a little bit.

I'm guessing he is talking about the s-pen test that is one of many options when that digit string is entered in the dialer. Zig zag attached.
I am talking about touch screen test not the spen one, sorry I didn't make it clear
If I'm thinking right, you're referencing to how our note's seem to have an issue with super fast swipes on the screen? I've noticed this issue when playing Fruit Ninja, especially with the final fruit in arcade mode which you can repeatedly slash to boost your score. On my Galaxy Nexus I can swipe back and forth all day really really fast with no issues. It seems to not fully detect on the Note and you'll get broken trails. When I used imilka's CM9 this problem seemed to be resolved or at least the touch response seemed much better over stock. Also when I used the CM9 build it seemed as if banding and the video pixelation/distortion issues where a lot less. The new official CM9 builds may be even better since they have their own kernel built for them
there ... no problem... and i also have no fruit ninja problem.... seems you may have a defective unit... i would have it checked out...
now could you please only post once about a problem and not open another thread with a different title but its about the same thing you asked in the other...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626810
you can edit posts and even the title if you are the creator... it helps not clog up the forum ... plus it helps keep some of the crankier members from totally ripping into you...

[APP] Shake for Bright - Make your phone screen bright by shaking (4.0+ compatible)

I've found myself struggling in the sun to see my screen. Trying to get into the brightness settings (even from quick settings) is an exercise in muscle memory since I can't see anything. I used Tasker to make a shake-based solution that I just released to the Play Store. Since XDA has given me so much, I thought I'd release it here for free for now at least. Since it's new and I don't have every device in the world, I would greatly value your feedback. :good:
From the Play Store:
If you've ever walked outside and can't see your screen because it's too bright out, this app is for you!
No matter what you're doing on your phone just shake it and auto bright will be turned on so that the phone will adjust to the brightness around you. Whether you're reading email, watching a video, surfing Facebook or anything else, the phone will adjust without exiting what you're doing.
If you need full brightness just shake up and down again and the screen will go to full brightness. To go back to inside light levels (30% bright), hold your hand close to the screen (covering it) and shake the phone.
No root access required!
Update: This will work for Android 4.0+ only.
If you'd like to donate by purchasing the Market version (and for auto updates), here is the Play Store link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.techspecs.apps.screengesturetoggles
I'm guessing 4.0+

Strange. That error seems odd. I'll try to investigate. What device and version are you on exactly?

Tried to get it from the Play store and comes up with
"Vodafone HUAWEI U8815
This item is not compatible with your device."
And since my phone is 2.3.6 like the 2nd poster sounds like a 4.0+ only app.Shame.Woulda been very handy
Thanks for the information both of you. Sorry it didn't work out for you.

As one of the XDA reviewers and long time users of both STRATA and FRAME, I'm drooling over this
The Verge just did a write up as well: http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/6/5277128/metawatch-meta-premium-smartwatch-brand
Coincidentally, Pebble going to introduce Pebble Steel which is the same as regular one but with a metal frame/bracelet, but it's nowhere near as elegant as this one. Sorry, but I think it was brilliant how they incorporated 4 corner buttons as part of the bracelet buckle (obviously Frank Nuovo design). Also, fantastic move to switch to epaper display.
Can't wait to test it out!!!
yeah really like the new steel pebble, the matte black with leather strap looks really nice
still, wish HOT Watch would be getting here sooner, really want to try the private calling function, if it's not to my liking i'm interested in something else
Btw, I haven't seen anybody confirm those hinges are secured by 4 corner buttons. I'm just assuming they are keeping functionality unchanged since the original MW has 6 buttons and going down to 2 would be too much of a change. I'm also curious if it's going to be waterproof like FRAME and if they're going to use a similar charging clip or something else, maybe magnetically attached one? As soon as I find out more details, hopefully after CES, I will post it in here.
I am more excited if there are much faster development on the Android software front!
I like the new hardware of course but at the moment pebble steel wins overall due to the solid development work on both official and unofficial software.
Still praying hard for my metawatch frame to be revived with this new announcement!
