Cool! Even though I have had good success with OS upgrades in the past, many do not. Sometimes the OOB software is the best. Doing an upgrade can sometimes introduce more problems than it ever fixes.

It looks like it moves farther into the "walled garden" concept in the name of security. App data backups are now completely forbidden except by Google. Not even ADB will work. Considering how much of a dumpster fire Android 11 is, I'm not looking forward to this. Sony doesn't have the software devs to provide workarounds or or support 3rd party ROMs.

COOL

You may have heard some of us talk about our mysterious day-jobs. Now is the time for us to tell what we've been working on. We've been creating an encrypted telephone, in software, on the XDA.
The following links tell more:

thumbs up
That's impressive.
Good work ... do not have such a requirement for now but it's good to be out there.
And since "our" developers are in front line ... it's even better.
Decebal
This CryptoPhone reminded me about a question I 4got to ask...
When ever i make a call, for about the first 5 seconds (sumtimes longer or shorter)... I can hear other ppls conversations....so i was wondering, is there any software to make the device into sum sort of scanner? 8)
I dont think I will be ordering one as the price seems to be aimed at industrialist multi millionaires and the like. I do admire the fact that the spooks have no access but I dont know how long that will last as I am sure that as we speak some beaurocrat is wording the legislation to outlaw it on the basis that it threatens security or some such nonsense.

[Q] Theming Help - Tabs, and more

Hey guys so I m pretty much flat out new to theming and Android in general but I've gotten by so far with google and sites such as this, and androidforums. Except I keep running into problems and I figured posting my self would probably be best. My plan is to update this post with new questions I have and also keeping updated with the correct answer if provided for easy reference for future use.
So without further ado my first problem lies currently in twframework-res.apk.
Currently I am trying to edit the tw_tab_selected.9.png. I have an odd problem in that when I edit it and add in the proper guidelines in draw9- which was none (*Note the original tw_tab_selected.9.png actually does not have any guidelines even though it is a .9png) it seems to stretch out like below:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The image SHOULD stretch out and appear like the following image:
Couple of notes:
- I have tried adding guidelines to my modified tw_tab_selected.9.png, below is an example of one of the guideline formats I tried but still yielded similar results as above picture #1 (This was following the draw9 guidelines of a similar image tw_tab_selected_ss.9.png)

[CLOSED] Who's hoping for awesome custom ROMS for this?

The thing has good specs, good audio... and squandered potential. Only being a slave to a Android device?
This would have been a *****in' GTV device. As Google TV is in rough shape, even getting a full Android ROM would be good. Here's to hoping it can be easily hacked.
Seeing as it is a Nexus device, I would surely hope that it has some level of hack-ability and modding. They even said that they encourage modding of the Nexus Q when they announced it at I/O. I'm excited to see where it goes!
Because they know that if someone come qith a good hack making it available to play games, run full OS or something like that people like will start buying it

It would be great if the GTV system could be ported over to the Q. I like the idea of the Q but a custom Rom would get me off the fence and grab my card to order.
Live and Die on this day....
There's already a thread for speculating on possible uses for the Q, please continue all further discussion there.

[Q] Good books on android apps?

Hey guys! I want to get in to building android apps outside of appinventor P)
Any ideas where i can find a good book, etc to learn a lot of what I'd need to know?
Essentially, I'm a 15 year old script kiddie (see here ) who doesn't know much "real" code. So you know where I'm starting from ;D
(I have eclipse and the sdk, etc installed.)
Thanks!:good:
From what I've seen, "Professional Android 4 Application Development" seems to be a pretty well received Android programming book. I'm just about to spend the money on it myself
Thanks for the reply! Checked out the comments, seems to be a book for people with java experience though

Paid app with no link to get it for free (not even a trial option on the store). Violation of the forum rules (you know, the ones linked at the top of every forum section?), particularly rule #11: Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
If you want to post advertising, you can pay XDA for that and they will put it in a nice little sidebar or whatever. If you want to get feedback from XDA members, post a copy of the app (a .XAP is fine; most of us have dev-unlocked phones, especially now that it's free). Do not use the forum as an ad platform!
