viruz007: I actually got the multi window tweak running on my S2 thanks to Omega ROM that I am running. Will upload the screen shot later.

Got the feature in neat ROM on S2 however I want to port the feature to an android Tablet.

Guess all android are equal but some are more equal than others

Prince Lat: Aroma File Manager
Anyone heard of Aroma File Manager?, wait for it, I’m so excited about this app.
Let me speak for myself, many times I like to tinker with my android phone, trying out one app or the other, be it sideloading an apk, flashing a script, or changing some file system attributes, sometimes the phone just hangs and I have to do a battery pull, then power on again, most of the times I end up with a bootloop which prompts me

to do CWM backup

wipe data / factory reset

do a data restore from the backup and I am up and running again

This solves the problem for me 99% of the time, but its time consuming, now this is where Aroma File manager comes in, some days back I sideloaded an apk, and the phone stopped responding , 5 mins gone still not responding , all I had to do

is pull the battery
copy Aroma file manager to my SD Card(it’s a zipped app) via the PC
boot into Recovery, go to mounts and storage
mount all the mountables, go back to install zip from SD card
navigate to Aroma FM, and flash the zip, instantly the file manager comes up

I already knew the name of the app I tried to install, so I navigated to my system/app folder and deleted the apk, exited the file manager and rebooted my phone and VOILA!!! it came up.

BENEFITS OF AROMA

It allows you to browse your file system when in recovery mode, with priviledges to
1. Set permission for apps
2. Delete/cut/copy n paste app in system folder
3. Unlock your android phone if you forgot the password or pattern lock without loosing data, even with usb
debugging off,or doing a factory reset (if you’re interested I can tell you how “but strictly for educational
purposes oh)
4. Take Screenshot with Power and volume Down button
5. If you encounter a bootloop and you know what app/file change/permission settings caused it you can undo it via Aroma
6. It has Terminal Emulator to run commands

N.B
Don’t forget all these is done in recovery mode……
(it doesn’t matter if you’re rooted or not, have custom recovery or stock,) NOTE: IT WILL ONLY WORK ON DEVICE WITH ARM NEON SUPPORT)
These are just a few of what I have done with it, you can do many more, based on your needs.
It might not be one of the greatest app, but I believe someone might be in need, here’s the link

@Leo I Hope you find this interesting/new

Finally, something interesting. I use nandroid manager to do the same but from within the rom not from recovery menu

I'm very interested in multi window manager. Officially its only for specific Samsung devices. I have downloaded multiple roms and searched system folders but can't find anything about it. Have downloaded every single multi window and multi task app on play store but can't find anything close. Even searched kernels but no show. Basically want to emulate that function on other tablets

Now that ubuntu edge has died I'm stuck on android. This is the only android thread I follow actively. I'm getting bored; I need new interesting tweaks, hacks or new procedures for android. I'm tired of questions on rooting, inferiority complex of tecno and games. I now check the android section of hack a day everyday. For now I'm still working on tasker but I need someone to drop something new.

jorhney: please where can I download windows 7 launcher?

gee I don't know. maybe the play store?

shosky1794: Hmm! Never knew you were this patient and nice. No offence

I'm telling you. would have gotten angry with the guy and told him to go and learn the difference between custom and stock rom.

4llerbuntu: no.

you just spoofed an already connected device's MAC

this essentially what all those fancy pants apps do. why bother when 3 or four cmds will do same much faster sef


this works for those networks that assign u an ip and need u to login to access the net.

The weak point as i tried to point out earlier is the 1st line. How the fook do u connect to the network?
the tools for this are much more advanced to sniff AUTH sessions and get in.

use to do this on Backtrack 4. good old days.

on android, don't think you can for now. now that you mentioned it; on backtrack you can connect to an encrypted access point, force a connected client offline , capture the security handshake then start bruteforce on it. android is great but not wonderful.

you do know that facenip and firesheep use cookies while dspoilt is as close to backtrack in actual pen testing.

I don't understand. what are you guys talkingbabout? I'm downloading elysium as I'm typing this with mtn bis. no tweaks and its steady

4llerbuntu: hey i need help.

i want to buy a phone part and i need to figure out how to get it shipped into naija.

problem r that its a small cheap part and of course no shipping into naija.

anyone who can help with a solution? that guy that buys stuff on amazon no even send me.. my money too small apparently

Please, if you find a solution let me know. Need to buy a new screen for my phone. Don't know anyone coming in soon

talking about Google. .....

Google occasionally blocks sites that supply some freebies. however, Google also cache all websites so you can get a snapshot of the site. thus, you can get back to that site and retrieve a download link. that's basic stuff.

my issue is this, I got a javascript to get into such site and I want to...

nevermind.

bily: nobody isunderestimating Google, my point is if you and I don't post answers and always tell people to Google, then Google will not have answers. A search engine is what it is. The result comprises of the sum total of everybodys input.
I support using Google, but there is a manner of approach that can automatically put someone on the defensive, we need to choose our words careful and act with mutual respect for each other.

I agree with you but there is a limit to your patience when the same question is asked over 30 times. if you go back 10 pages that same question has been answered again and again till I'm freaking tired of seeing it. even on XDA if you ask a question that has been answered before you will be referred to the appropriate section. but most people on nairaland ask the same question on multiple threads that its annoying. that's why people get angry

bily: if everyone always goes to Google for answers, then they'll probably be no answers to find, lol.

I don't agree with this statement. recalll a certain time when you search on Google, it will tell you "we are sorry but we couldn't find any information on that subject. would you write something on that subject? ".I have had to find out many things and undergo many projects that Google and all other search engines couldn't find. the issue is don't underestimate the power of google. there is no knowledge that is not power.

Kaycee7: Kid. Mind how you talk to your elders.

intelligence is not the same thing as common sense. common sense would have told you to type your question in the search box at the top right of your browser or opened Google.com. intelligence would be the experience obtained from reading many free tutorials online then trying it out yourself. that would make you an elder. you sir, and I use the word loosely, are not an elder

edoyad: See me see wahala o. After porting my number from MTN to Glo, cos MTN didn't have 3g in my town, MTN finally launches 3g

guy, how far? im still in ibadan but will be leaving soon

k2039: This is just ridiculous.

I disagree

moshoodn: Hello guys,

Is there anyway I can get to print documents or web pages directly from my droid?

Thank you.

dolphin browser, install plugin Web to pdf then use Smart office, Officesuite or Print Magic to print via wifi

fascinating

phoinix: Nice app, but it's not going to work in nija, not now. judging from ur write up, it would need to synchronize with google maps, gps, home wifi etc. Do we really have detailed maps of locations in nija? Howmany people leave there home wifi on at all time given the incessant power cuts? Nija ain't shit at the moment, nice concep though...

that's an example of what it can do but that's not all it can do. I'm using the 7 day trial version and I have set up the following task

1. with a touch of a button I activate my mobile data, turn of autosync, start UC browser (because it has flash player inbuilt) , start opera mini (faster browsing), put on silent mode, activate vibration ringer and set my display timeout to 5 mins

2. if my wifi , bluetooth and mobile data is on, putting the phone in sleep mode by pressing the power button once turns everything off and locks the screen. Alternatively, putting the phone into my pocket also activates this feature

3. opening any browser on my phone turns on the mobile data automatically

4. if I hold my phone in a certain position it turns on a camera app and takes a picture without making a sound or getting out of sleep mode

these are a few profiles I have setup. still trying to learn other capabilities. the app is not easy to understand and you need to read plenty of online tutorials to have an idea what to do butvit makes your smartphone even smarter.
my next task I want to do is set it so that at 6am everyday it would activate my mobile data for one minute, sync twitter, sync WhatsApp, sync my emails, open opera mini to nairaland, tell me what the weather would be like and log off. saw a tutorial for that on XDA. you can even activate voice so it speaks to you.

I know I have seen this app on someone's screenshot here a while back, can't remember who

Imagine the following scenario. You
leave the office and get in your car
as your device sends a text message
to your spouse letting them know
you are heading home, while any
incoming e-mails or text messages
from your clients are instantly replied
to with a generic “out-of-the-office”
message.
As you begin to approach a local
supermarket, another text message is
sent out to your family asking if
anything is needed to be purchased,
and any replies are read aloud
through the loud speaker.
As you pull in to your driveway, your
handset instantly connects your
home’s Wi-Fi connection. Setting
your phone into a cradle on your
desk automatically adjusts the
volume and starts up your favorite
station on Pandora.

App = Tasker

adaobi123: Does anyone know when they are going to release BBM on Android and co ?

considering thy are thinking of selling core components of the company,your guhss is as good as mine

8 months ago on nairaland it was " blackberry or die", " What is it that an android can do that a blackberry cannot do" etc etc. good thing nairaland doesn't delete past threads, I still go through them for laughs. the same diehard blackberry fans that had oral diarrhoea are now rocking android and loving it.

majalisa: what's your pops number. I would call him and convince him you are a hero . don't worry at least u learnt something me in particular is scared to undertake

the guy get mind. I dey fear rooting of htc phones. wish him luck though; he's on a long thing

Leopantro: seriously, computer village is not as good as it's hyped up to be. yes it has lots of gadgets but its the same gadgets, very little variations. can't help someone that wants to D.I.Y.

bought two OTG cables from that guy someone posted his number here a while back. have destroyed more that 7 USB cables in making one that I just gave up. hooking up my pad to the phone while playing N64 and NDS.

never buy a red packet scandisk microsd from computer village. bought a 32 gig and on getting home it refused to work . that's 3k down the toilet. will buy from my normal source next week.

anyone using tasker. love the videos.will buy it soon but I think I have found a way to make the trial period last longer

I thought there was a one week free trial on tasker. what happened?

phoinix: Btw how can I use my new techno 109 as a vibrator to pleasure my gal? Hemmm, is there any app for dat on d play store?

you do know that there is an app for that but it's not on the play store. enough said.

NDS emulator that run games at full speed, no lagging and with touch screen capability. I knew there was a reason I bought two new batteries. 4llerbuntu, if you can promise me that Ubuntu Edge can beat android in slicker and better capabilites, let me know so I can start saving money

4llerbuntu: dude order one now abi....... mcheew. its like 5 dollars.. less usually......


the chap that wanted to lend u his nko?


@leopantro do u know of an easy way of cleaning a usb port without taking the phone apart? not sure air will do.......

remember reading an article on lifehacker about that. I recall they mentioned four methods of which you mentioned two but can't remember the last two. about light alcohol and toothbrush, I think

na wa oh....

when you search for "fetch" on the play store it gives you four results, three of which focus on trival things.

I'm in lazy mode

phoinix: Google is ur friend

you too much.

hundreds of apps are produced everyday but looking at the app store you wouldn't have an idea. with this app I can at least keep up
