[CONFIRMED] Flash will be ready for Android in May!! General release in June!!!

Maybe many people already know this... but Kevin Lynch, Adobe's chief technology officer, said "Adobe expects to release Flash Player 10.1 on Google's Android operating system in May and then for it to be on general release in June. "

Hey dude, seriously, there has been a big discussion over this Sent from my Nexus One using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk thing... requesting you to please turn it off through your settings...

has been mentioned in threads here already. Im not sure if the bbc story was mentionned, but you might be better off looking for that thread and posting in there instead of starting a new one

glad to hear the quick news about flash, maybe that means froyo will be showing up this month too...
and, at y2whisper, the other thread was closed, because it was made perfectly clear that most people would like it turned off. the tapatalk notification is annoying as sin

Thats fine that they would, I opt to keep it on, only out of gratitude for the program and that about 10% of my posts are done via the program. should that percentage increase or simply just over time (unless there is some kind of upgrade) I will shut it off.
Mind you my motivation with it is that its xda specific and its how i found out about the application in the first place.

I agree it's annoying and all, but I believe that's how a lot of people know about the program. If everybody turns it off, I bet there's gonna be a bunch of thread asking what this program is. lol

You can always block people who don't disable the signature.

Admin is working with the developer to change the spam that the application places in the body of the post which is what annoys most people. They did not specify what would be done but apparently relief is on the way.

need to make it so you can assign a sig to it your self, or not at all.

But, if you reply with it, doesn't it just use the sig you already have specified in the forum?

They didnt say what they were going to do. What bothers most people is that it is amended into the body of the post and as they surf the forum they end up reading it over and over and over.... It sounded like a line break such as before the signatures to move it out of the body of the post would be a front runner. We'll see.

App Inventor: It begins!

just got my confirmation from google, app inventor is up and running! i think it would be a good idea to maybe get a thread goin for everything app inventor/a help page for using it. just a thought

Dear Google,
GIVE ME MY CONFIRMATION EMAIL!!!
I'll give you a cookie.

I go one, I tried it, turns out I still fail :')

I got mine a couple of weeks ago. It will definitely take some learning on my part. Fun though. It would be nice to have a thread for tips and tricks. I wrote a little about it on my blog, link below in my signature.

I signed up for it a couple weeks ago. Do I have to be a registered developer in order to receive the invitation?

Got my invite too.

I didn't get my invite but I am able to get in and create projects.

Wrong... but nice try.
I simply was logged into my Google account and went to the app inventor page there was a my projects link on the top. I clicked it, I was able to access app inventor. As a word of caution make sure you have the app inventor extras installed prior to trying to use the blocks, it can / will be kind of screwy if you don't.

Now we'll need a new section on XDA..

lolz. has anyone actually successfully made an app using this?

Made the tutorial hellopurr app in about 5 minutes...the install was about 4mb though

I'm able to log in with out an invite too. Cool!

I've made some little things with it.
I need it to be able to parse RSS, or at least XML, before I'm able to implement any of my actual wanted-app ideas with it, though.

I don't know, I think it does have SOME potential. Believe it or not, there are people like me out there with VERY limited java experience that have some neat app ideas. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with the inventor.
I do agree that everybody and their mother will probably be making the stupid "click the cat to hear a purr" app knockoff .
There should be a marketplace filter for app inventor apps so you know what you're signing up for haha

Build NoMoarPowah for Galaxy 3

Can someone build NoMoarPowah like app for Galaxy 3?
NoMoarPowah is an app that automatically boots the (battery drained) phone in to android when connected to a charger. It is an amazing app but it is limited to a handful of Samsung devices only. I wish to expand the scope of this app. So, is there anyone who knows how to port this thing on Galaxy 3?
Post your questions/ concerns below.
SOLVED: Found this feature in SPICE MI 270

every android phone including our galaxy 3, boots up into android when it was switched off automatically due to low power and then connected to the charger !
why would we need an app ?
EDIT: And this is just a request so it should have been posted in the general or q&a section.
im sorry to say but even if you ported this app, it belongs to the apps section only. by no means it belongs to the dev section
This is only an advice, dont take it serious

Hey Ajay thanks for your reply. Though my thread is a request, the objective is to look for an answer to this issue. I appreciate your comments. Looking forward for more healthy discussions. Thanks!
BTW, I own Galaxy 3 for the past 1.5 yrs and i have not come across this phenomenon that you have mentioned in your post. I will surely try this and post back my experience.
Cheers!

this sounds interesting, but as ajay said, this section is for active android development, and you will most likely get more answers if posted in the right place (themes and apps). Thanks for posting though. I would suggest you ask the mod to move this thread for you. I hope someone can help you with this, good luck!

True

There is no source for this app... it is quite difficult to hack it and make compatible...
I know there are some tools to decompile apk into java source code but i'm a bit afraid to break some copyright rules... I do not want to do it, anyway this app would be useful man!

im amazed that this app really uses the touchscreen in powered off mode !!
quite amazed and now, into the modding/porting level..

I have extracted some files from the apk. I can share them if you want.
Note: Please use these files strictly for reference only.

You can ask Chainfire(the developer of this app). He will surely give the source code

Not going to happen, as it's a paid app.
The app should work, it's the images that need to be resized to fit our screen.
Anyone wanna give it a try, resize the images in assets folder in the apk, or in /system/nomoarpowah (after you've installed the app and install it's files), and then reboot.
Even it it doesn't work (unlikely), it won't do any harm

You should thread carefully even if it isn't a paid app. Just because an app (or any piece of software) is free that doesn't automatically mean you (legally) have the right to decompile and use it's source (code).

It seems to me that you didn't even give him a full day to respond, that's definitely not enough time. I understand that you are probably excited and anxious, but you still have to give him time.
I don't think work on this should be started before hearing from chainfire, I'd also suggest that a dev (preferably recognized) that would work on this be the one to contact him and find some kind of comprise (this is an ad or pro app so a compromise is probably necessary if chainfire himself won't be working on the app). Perhaps that "our" dev can release an ad free version solely on xda (that will only work with our phone) and that chain fire can release a version with ads on the market. That's just a suggestion, who knows what chainfire will say.
Anyways I know I'm interested in how he got it to work and would love to be able to view the code someday (when I have enough android knowledge to understand the code)

I do not mean to hurt or misjudge anyone but the truth is chainfire is not even responding to his consumers. If you go to his threads, you will see people waiting to get support from him but unfortunately he aint responding. In such a scenario, it is difficult to contact him.
What you suggest is the right way to approach this issue. But someone will need to take extra efforts to reach him.

I don't think that decomiling an app is something illegal both if the ap is free or aid. It becames illegal if you edit, recompile and distribute it.
Otherwise any tool like apk tools, dex2jar etc would be illegal.
Anyway i gave a look at the code and i found it a little difficult to understand. Well not difficult, i mean, a dev shoul spen a big tima to understand ot and make approriate changes... i do not have all of this time, but i can help if someone starts to work on this.

You can find firmwares also on other sites, for example updato.com
FD is almost identical to F, software and guides are the same for both. Do not use U or W guides, as they are different phones!
