[Q] Problems with disability - General Questions and Answers

Hello everyone!
I had a disability (a paralisis in the four limbs), until now I was using Nokia phones and controlling it with commercial software like MobilEDIT, mVNC and Moteo but today I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S and I'm searching for an application that allows me to control the phone in a similar manner and I've found your screencast sotware that looks very interesting.
My problem is that I'm totally new in the Android world and I've readed that for use your application I need to ROOT my phone but this will invalidate th warranty and I don't know how to ROOT my phone.
I think that your application is very usefull for people with any kind of disability. I worked as a programmer and system administrator for 13 years and I think that I can help with the development of screencast but I don't know where I can beging, I need some advice about how I can start to learn the devolopment for the Andrid system.
Can you help me?

[Q] Creative ZiiO 7'' hacking and tweeking

I recently bought a ZiiO and at first look it seems like an excelent tablet for is price. But it get's me frustrated to be stuck on Android 2.2.1 version as well as stuck on Creatives' propritary updates.
At first glinpse on the device everything here looks like it has been developed according to the hardware. Not having market, not beeing able to mess around
Searching and researching on the web allowed me to root my device and install common software like the Market.
Then I realized that ZiiO's hardware is capable of supporting USB Host which sadly hasn't been enabled on the kernel that's compiled on the device. Looking at config.gz made me wonder why on the world would Creative do such a thing.
Has anyone been able to dump ZiiO's boot or kernel? I need to recompile the kernel to enable some flags. Has anyone gone through this expirence that can lead me on the right track?
Having such a variety of devices on the world makes me confuse on what should and could be done on this device.

[Q] Is it possible to hack an app?

Hello all,
Being relatively new here, I haven't yet discovered quite what is possible for hacks, I have one main question at the moment. I currently own a nokia lumia 800 and I love the GUI, but I am getting frustrated with the app store as it doesn't have lots of the apps that iphone and android users have. So because it will probably be a while until there is a fully working operating system hack for this phone, OR the app store vastly improves, I was wondering if it was possible to hack a specific app such as draw something or epicwin to change the platform it is on?
Thank you for any help everyone!

[Q] development of android apps 100% on android tablet

Hello! I am new to this forum so i could have posted this into wrong section.
I want to start learning how to develop apps for android, but the thing is, i am not able to do it on PC.
Could someone tell me what android applications i need to get, to fully develop an application, which is made in the same quality as it would be made on PC. ( everything, not just programming). At the moment i got only AIDE ( Android IDE ), but i dont think that AIDE is enough to fully develop an application. If its not possible to do 100% of work on android tablet, please tell me. Thank you for your answers!

Personal advice
Hi, I do have first hand experiene with Android IDE and it's OK if your not able to use your development PC and your really inspired to write some code but you most def will need an external keyboard/mouse if your going to write something bigger than a 'hello world' program. Don't get me wrong, AIDE will get the job done but it will take you much longer, i.e. a single small screen with limited ram/processor does not help.
I don't know your situation for not being able to do it on a PC but if you are serious about becomming a developer then an investment in a desktop/laptop should be at the top of your list, but if you want to test the waters first and all you have access to is a tablet with AIDE then I say go for it, I just hope that the limited enviroment does not discourage you, programming is fun and rewarding if you have the right tools.
Do you have any experience programming?
If not I would recommend you follow the Newboston series of videos for beginning programming with Java first before jumping into Android development, I say development because writing apps for Android consists mostly with writting Java that uses the provided Android API's.
Newboston beginning programming with Java video series (He uses Eclipse here but you can ignore that and just type the same code)
http://thenewboston.org/list.php?cat=31
Newboston application Android development (If you try to complete this without any Java knowledge you will cripple you chances of success)

Excellent resources provided here at XDA for Android development

p.s. You would be suprised at how cheap you can find a used PC on craigslist, you don't need a gaming monster but get something that is multi-core with at least 4gigs of RAM.

IMPORTANT! Missing person Android device.

Hi All,
This week i will get the smartphone (Galaxy S3) of a missing person, the police only searched at the device by the normal gui. That's the reason i want to investigate this device.
My question is if someone can give me some tips for analyzing the important data on the device.
I've already found apps like andriller and the linux distro Santoku that's been created for mobile forensics.
Thanks for your time.

[Q] Newbie: simplest way to make Phone apps Android TV compatible

Hi - I'm a newbie and frankly knows next to nothing about Android app development. There are lots of great apps out there that would be great to use on the big screen via Android TV (the only device out there now is the Nexus Player), but unusable on Nexus Player because they requires either gesture or mouse. This leads me to think that there must be a relatively easy way to take the APK and update the code so that I can use the d-pad remote for the Nexus Player.
Can anyone point me the way?
Thanks!
Frank
