No Settings? - Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm just tried the preview on my Nexus S.
And noticed some big misteks:
No settings (only pop up settings on apps, but it's ain't no working)
No way to change the Date and Time
No music player
No file or system explorer
No exit gesture. (pull from the bottom and press the X to close)
There are only bugs from port or in the official preview have this mistakes, too?
Can we send any feedback to ubuntu? Or we can see the plan for the ful version?
This mistakes really insulting me 'couse I'm waitng for more better os from ubunu..

This is a developer preview. It is far from finished.
There is no point sending them feedback because they know all of this already. They just haven't implemented ways to do these things yet.

jep, i know it's far away. But missing the settings? waiting for more better preview from the ubuntu..

No need for setting in the os when developing apps for it. That's why this is a DEVELOPER PREVIEW.

The nexus S use a A8 cortex and 512 memory, like my galaxy tab... So its possible use the same rom?

I don't think so. But give it a shot and try it.
Swyped from my Nexus S using XDA app.

I have to agree with Sensitivity, but some basic settings like changing the default wallpaper and the ability to change the time is pretty much just enough.

Screen capture app for Atrix *Updated 9/14*

Hey guys,
I wrote a screen capture app that works for my Atrix since I couldn't find one that worked that was on the market. Here is the first version so I am looking for suggestions/bugs/improvements, etc.
I've only tested it on the atrix because that is the only phone I have, but if you guys could test it on other phones and let me know if it works or not on them, then that would be great.
Edit: Finally posting a new version. *Should* address most of the issues/requests I've seen unless I forgot something. Still haven't had a chance to test on any other devices but it will actually display errors now so I can see why the devices are failing.
Version:
0.6 - Fixed some bugs, screenshots should show up right away in gallery now, added an option to shutdown the services after grabbing the screenshot.
0.8 - Fixed shake sensor bug, added option to invert colors to fix colors for some devices, and service should stay on after reboots.
0.85 - Fixes for some crash reports. Better support for other devices.
Also, I finally added the app to market for those who want to get automatic app updates. I'll still post newest versions here for those that prefer to download from xda.
Market link
update: I haven't had time to work on the app at all lately so if anybody wants the source to fix any bugs or improvements then you can get it from https://bitbucket.org/mindphaze/screen-grabber
props!!! thanks a lot bro
Works great
+1 thanks.
Works great. I would like to see an option for the output folder.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
so, what was the roadblock that was impeding capturing the screen with the actual programs? is it something tegra based? or was it something way easy? where did you find the information needed to make this?
Awesome app, and yeah, and output folder option would be awesome.
Nice app. After the app takes a screenshot, does it save to gallery b/c I can't find it for some reason.

Not sure exactly what the problem is, but when trying to read the framebuffer (/dev/graphics/fb0) directly I would get an error. Google provides /system/bin/fbread that grabs the framebuffer so it wasn't anything complicated to just call that to get the buffer.
Got the info from reading the tegra source code.
First bug I've ran into is it unexpecidently stopped running when I connected my phone to my computer in mass storage mode.

Works great. Thank you for sharing with us.
One bug or question. How do i stop it from taking any screenshots anymore? I unchecked first two options (enable screen capture and shake sensor) but it still take screenshots if I shake it. Not a big problem but thinking how many it will be taking when i go for run in the morning

(THEME) Themed Android Markets New Version 3.1.3

OK found these new themed Android Markets Version 3.1.3 (newest version)
Didn't make this but though I would post a link! Thanks to who ever did theme these! Well, enjoy!!
http://www.apktop.com/android-market-3-1-3-with-7-themes.html
Current Version:3.1.3
Requires a Rooted Device size:3.2MB V3.1.3 update: Adds +1 For Apps And Games, Pin Number For Purchases, And More! New Android Market / Adds +1 For Apps And Games. Pin Number For Purchases And More! should work for all devices. You do need to enable Unknown Sources in Settings-> Applications.)
There is a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app per missions (not developer customizable, unfortunately). There is also a brand-new Market icon to spruce things up. Oh, and did we mention you can now use a custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google
Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device?
If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have and really, it makes a lot of sense. You can get the new Market .apk here, root access is not required. but you will need Unknown Sources enabled in the Settings -> Applications menu to install it.

Try using the flashable version. Sometimes there is a problem replacing the market provided with whatever rom you use. I usually have to use that method with my vibrant!

[Q] Tizen OS Gallery

Tizen is an operating system.
This is the gallery application found there.
The s2 in that video is different from the s2 we have, it is a dev phone running tizen os and not Android os.
In short, you well never see this app on your Android, your only hope is if a dev sees this video and decides to write a gallery app that mimics its behaviour .

Idea for MultiWindow

Hi guys,
This just ocurred to me. I was reading that the korean jb has multiwindow and that its hardware is very similar to our notes. Both use a snapdragon S3 and the adreno 220. Can it be posible to port? I was just trying to port multiwindow into my own and I was able to make flashbar appear, get the toggle in settings. When you open the first app it opens like normal, now the second you see that it has the little box to divide the screen, but it opens the second app in full. But you'll see a bar in the middle that is the divider for multiwindow. I don't know something im missing or something. Will post pics later So you can see what im talking about.
I'm drooling with anticipation. ..I hope you figure it out!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
This is as far as I have. I have modified the following
SecSettings.apk to add the multiwindow option
android.policy.jar
services.jar (I saw multiwindow smali inside so I did not modify any of it)
Added:
FlashBarService.apk (Taken from the N7000)
multiwindow.jar
com.sec.android.app.multiwindow.xml
com.sec.feature.flashbar.xml
com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml
com.sec.feature.multiwindow.xml
I dont know if I'm missing other things to get it fully working. Im just learning.

No. It's like I opened the app in full, but I see the divider.
Maybe the apps themselves are tide into the multi window app. Have you installed the browser from the Korean note and tried it like that?

I believe lildoggs may be somewhere in the general direction. I've been reading threads from the n7000 and note 2 threads about modding apps to be capable with multiwindow, if they aren't already supported. So if you can install the browser and maybe messenger app from the korean note, and they work that would be great. If not maybe try this tutorial from this thread to modify a few apps yourself and see if it works.
also check out this multi window manager app from the playstore if indeed you did get it working to maybe mod an app. I'm not dev, but just throwing out some things I think may be of some use to you.
I'm currently at work but will try them when I get home. Like I mentioned before from my research I see that we already have the smali files for multiwindow inside services.jar. Maybe we need the apps to be compatible.
Good luck man.

Some guys over on the Note2 have found that there is a module for exposed called all apps it looks like that allows any app to be used with the multi window.

Install as a normal Apk. it worked for me, but I don't think that it works because I spent the last couple of minutes trying to talk to my device while locked and it won't answer me back.
It looks to be the same apk that is floating around. It will install correctly but w/o the option inside the settings menu you can't enable it.

That won't matter the issue is you haven't set it up which hasn't been done yet. I liked the setup activity to my lock screen slider and it runs but then dies immediately.
Could it be a missing file? something motorola has in their devices other ones don't? a lib file maybe? thinking out loud....

If I were to take a guess, the app is most likely routed to search for the language core in the x8 (or 8x I don't remember the name) chip set in the motox. Since no phones have this, it crashes. Also, it is probably checking device model, so if its anything but the motox or the new droids, it'll crash.

This would make sense considering all the Moto devices this app works on all have the X8 SoC. I think it's very unlikely we'll see Touchless Control ported to other devices. The only devices I could see any small success would be devices containing an Snapdragon 800, which works in a similar way to the X8.
The only similar functionality I have found is with Open Mic + - Play Store
I think it eats a bit of battery though.

A bit is a nice way of putting it haha
Luckily I have a Maxx so I am not too worried about battery consumption. However I would prefer to use the official touchless from Motorola if it ever gets hacked for more devices. Should be easier now that it was released onto the playstore
