I am working on a custom CyanogenMod ROM (10.2) for my own use. I've managed to accomplish most of my goals. One thing remains: removing packages that I don't want/need from the build. Technically, I am able to do so already by modifying the Android.mk file of the package so that it produces errors during the build procedure, skips building the package, but doesn't stop the entire build process. However, that is just a lousy hack.
the correct .mk/.sh/.whatever files in the repository I would need to edit (there are probably several) so that I can skip building the packages I don't want included in my ROM? I want to avoid using a "kitchen" if I can. I won't actually learn anything if I use a kitchen.
I have a son who is 11 and has 2 android devices one gift and one hand me down. He also has Google store play gift certificates redeemed on his account.I have a daughter who is 7 and she has one hand me down android device.
I tried setting Google play to require a password but I noticed "free" labeled items were still allowed to be downloaded. I want to monitor what my kids put on their devices so this was not an option as some of the goriest items are labeled as free. Right now I am using a parental control device that Blocks Google play altogether. The problem is I then have to go on the web to unlock their device just to allow them to browse the store to see if there is something they want and then I have to relock the device down.
What I REALLY would like is a program that lets them browse the store at their leisure but disallow ANY download without a password free or paid. Basically is there any program that allows for non full app blocking but does block any attempted download from the store without a password.
I have a Hotmail account and I downloaded the Hotmail app and set up my email. However, when I delete an email on the phone I would like it NOT to delete on the server. I have tried looking everywhere for this setting ("Never delete from server") on both the app and on the server itself with no luck. I noticed the native email app has this setting but I prefer to use the hotmail app. I have also tried K-9, and while I really like the UI it has not been reliable in delivering my hotmail (gmail gets delivered right away).
how to find the proper setting? Or is there not a setting like this yet?I have a SGS2(HD LTE) running gingerbread.
Just picked up my incredible, and I have two questions....
1. how do i change the email notification to a specific sound? As of rite now, when i receive an email nothing happens (no sound or vibrate).

The issue I am experiencing is that the SurfaceView I am using flickers. Once in a while, the objects I draw flicker and they change their size or colour.
It looks like that sometimes the application skips my calls to 'Paint.setColor()' and the one to 'Paint.setStrokeWidth()'.
I have made methods which change the used paint and then, in order to try to fix this issue, to set it back to the default paint values. Still the issue persists. I have also read that the problem might be due to the double buffering. Is it the case? I am using this code for the DrawingThread:
I also tried to use a dirty Rectangle to try to see if the issue can be fixed, but still nothing. [I might not have understood what it actually does.
Code:
class DrawingThread extends Thread {
private SurfaceHolder _surfaceHolder;
private CustomView _cv;
private boolean _run = false;

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to know if there is a way to stop a specific applicaiton from updating. (that is not the disable automatic updates and manually update)
Some applications are frequently updated, and eventually you can reach a point where you have many programs wanting to update, and then 1 or 2 programs which you never want to update because the developer decided to remove a feature for no reason, or made a change that breaks compatibility with some devices.
Overall, I would like to be able to use the "Update All" button without having to worry about it updating the 1 or 2 applications that I never want updated.

Samsung Galaxy S3
I have an LG Optimus L5 II (LG-E450B) running stock Android 4.1.2 (non-rooted) Kernel Version 3.4.0. My carrier is Virgin Mobile (Canada). I recently realized that the stock 2GB of internal memory is not nearly enough for me, so I went out and bought a 16GB Sandisk microSD card. I put music on it, set photos to autosave on it, etc. which all worked great. However, I have been unable to get some apps to move over correctly.
I realize that some apps can't really get moved (at least without rooting, etc). The app I am specifically trying to work with is iBird pro. It's App Info appears as such:
Total: 641 MB
App: 12.68 MB
USB storage app: 628 MB
Data: 4.00 KB
SD Card: 0.00B
The "Move to SD Card" option is available, but when I do it all that it does is drop the App to 3.51MB and up the USB storage app to 637MB. All of which stays on the internal memory. Obviously it is only moving 9MB or so of App to the virtual SD internal memory (which I believe is what shows up in my files manager as /storage /sdcard0, so it doesn't actually move it to the SD card (though a few other apps have sucessfully been moved).
I have tried using App2SD, but it says that the program is not supported by my device (and the iBird Pro shows up as "Phone Only" anyway).
I have tried the ADB hack trick set-install-location 2 and reinstalled the app and still nothing, it just saved on the internal memory.
Finally, when I open the app, it also downloads another ~600MB of database data (bird songs, pictures, etc), which also saves on the internal memory. Or at least tries to but the memory gets full and it stops the download.
if there was a way to disable updates for specific apps on an android?
I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I always have the apps that came with the phone wanting to be updated. I don't use them since I consider many of them to be a waste of space on my phone and would rather get rid of them, but would at least like to stop the updating for them.
I'm just a newcomer in modification of Android OS, but i wanna know: is it real to run a specific model of smartphone via Android SDK on Xubuntu?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAs we all know, Android doesn't like Task Managers. Android likes to handle the apps by himself. But sometimes he just can't know what apps I need and which not.
So I need a way to tell Android not to kill an app, for example a gesture app or a "App Lock" App. I haven't rooted my Device yet, because I've got a new Nexus 4 (there's still my Xperia P in my signature), but I can if it's necessary for that cause.
The App I want to give these rights to is "Glovebox".
In general, Are most of Custom ROMs device specific?
My problem is: If i buy an android mobile which is not popular, can i upgrade to new Custom ROMs?
For Upgrading Custom ROMs, do we need PC suite applications or any other application from the vendor? The mobile i am planning to buy has no vendor support.
