[Q] qHD running regular apps?? - HTC Sensation

Hi, could any sensation owners post screenshots (if possible) for their qHD sensation running regular apps?
(ones that aren't native/haven't been updates to qhD resolution yet)
what happens to them?

I also want to know....

If someone can tell me how to get a screenshot (as i now cant root it) i will show you.
Basically it doesn't fit and its just black around the screen

This sucks and since not many devices have qHD yet it will take some time before apps are supported.

thanks a lot. Does that not really degrade the joy of the qHD? How much of 'disappointment' is it, or are you not fussed about it??

So, does Google Maps or Nav, for example, have black bars around the borders? Tried any ebook readers?

Those come on the phone pre-installed so I assume they've been made to work with qHD. And there's Kobo reader on board so it'd also have been optimized.

Don't like to "assume" before buying, so just asking for confirmation. I use lots of non-preinstalled apps.

yeah, that's what I did assume but at Google's I/O wasn't there something about Android 2.4 making Android native to qHD. So that would suggest that up until then, it's not gonna happen. But then that's really rubbish if HTC have released it most of maps/android apps having black borders.

I'm guessing no one knows the atrix has a qhd display apps run fine on them. What makes you think apps would be different on there. Android hasn't has this problem since the first droid came out.

because it makes sense. Imagine a game. Monitor is 1920x1200 game is 1920x1200, everything is clear and pristine.
But if that game was running at 1600x1200 the game is either going to be stretched (making it look ugly) or going to have black borders around the edge.
The same applies for phone apps and the phone resolutions.

I also want to know

how about igo?

Most Android apps are now built to run on various resolutions (remember the Xoom exists, and some other Android tablets). Most of the auto scale correctly. The only one I have encountered so far that looks weird was the options menu for Current Widget. It had black borders, but that's it. Doesn't look that bad really.

Up now.
The little black bit on right hand side of screenshot comes from the screenshot utility. Facebook fits perfectly on the device.
I used the Android SDK screen capture tool.

i seeee. really not as bad as i thought it'd be!

Like I mentioned, Android apps can auto scale. Remember, there are devices running higher resolutions than phones. Developers need to make sure that their apps can adapt. It's not like Apple where you get HD versions of things for the iPad.

oooohhhh really! Right...that's where I was going wrong. Should have known only Apple would do something like "forcing developers to re-do apps in HD"

A lot of apps works fine on the phone. From my experience Ringdroid, Weather Widget.
Everything else Angry Birds, Mapps, Navigation all work fine no issues.
Some widgets are smaller as well, Grooveshark is slightly smaller and doesn't fit the screen but other apps fit fine.
Been playing around with it for a couple of hours any other questions?

[Q] App that mirrors the screen to use it as a HUD

Hi there. I need an app that mirrors the screen of my android phone to use it as a HUD in my car. I've already found an app that shows the current speed mirrored, but i would like to have it for other apps, too. So that i can use apps like Google Maps Navigation with my front window.
I googled a lot, but i sadly didn't find anything...
I'm confused.
You want this displayed ... how? where?
Please share the name/developer of the other app you've already found. Give us an idea of what you are talking about.
When you say HUD (heads up display), the only thing I can think of is some sort of projected display on your windshield
THAT WOULD EFFING AWESOME!!!!
if i understand Phexi right, he wants to put his phone under the windshield in a way that enables you to see the reflection of the screen in the windshield. works great during night trips.
usual problem - everything is mirrored.
wow that's a good idea!

This is exactly what i wanted to tell you
Yeah, the "evrything is mirrored" can be a problem, but with the help of a homescreen widget (maybe with a mirrored text ) it should be possible to switch back very easily
With an AMOLED display it should look very good (when the rest is black), but it has to be mirrored to work.
should look like this then

I think 5 is enough. Any of these float your boat? (those all *should* have mirrored "HUD" settings so when laid on your dash under your windshield you get the effect of the BMW HUD above. I haven't tried any of them personally, though.)

He isn't looking for a speedometer, he wants to mirror his screen for all apps, so that way he can use the maps app or the navigation app or any other app of his choosing and see it on his windshield. Before you go off on your next pissy fit, read carefully.
i bet it wont be that hard to make......if no one can find one, i bet i can make one....
Maybe Cyanogenmod can incorporate it into his RenderFX mod.

Wow... feel better?
You are right, I didn't read carefully - I read looking for a HUD, scrolled down saw more HUD talk, more talking of speedo HUD's, so I wen't on appbrain and looked for some.
Just trying to help. I guess this another forum I'll stop contributing to. I don't need to deal with know-it-all jerks like you, I get enough of you people in real life.
Sorry OP, just trying to help. I don't see any way to do it unless you made the OS and all the apps (at least the relevant ones) mirrored in a custom ROM.
Goodbye.

If you are the first to do it, you could easily charge $1 and make a mint...I would recommend a trial version with a, say, 14 day trial period.
like so:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqtHZE-8fCw
is this it?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.scientific.car&hl=en
Any progress on this? This would be an excellent app idea but due to my limited development knowledge someone else will have to work on it. This app will allow anyone to use their phone/tablet to project image on a semi-reflective surface and serve as a cheap full-screen navigation/media center solution.
I will be willing to purchase it as an initial customer and even make a small donation for its development.
How bout the app up there?
No, the app in the link only mirrors some text based info. We need something that can flip the display contents on the y-axis. This way when you project the screen contents the reverse text and graphics appear normal. I do not believe there's anything in the market that currently offers to do this.

it should be easy to develop.
Or not?
Any updates on this anyone? There seems to be niche demand for this thereby warranting someone to do the great work.

[APP] Phone Genie - A GSMArena app for Android to look up device specification

Whenever I need to look up on a phone specification, I automatically visit gsmarena.com. They have a large set of devices in their database and the data is presented in a pleasing manner as well. But the problem is that they don't have a mobile optimised page and as a result it is tough to checkout their website from a phone. To read the complete specification, you need to pan from left to right to left. And this worsens when you are trying to compare 2 devices side by side.
With Phone Genie I aim to provide a solution to this issue. This app presents the GSMArena content in a way that is suitable for your device screen. It also allows you to compare 2 devices side by side, without all the left-right-left panning headache. Please checkout the screenshots attached.
Phone Genie is available on Android Market for free for all devices with 1.6 and above. This is only our second app so there will be bugs and we got a lot to learn. Please try the application and post your comments. I hope you guys will find it useful.

Thank you
I have 2 suggestions:
1. ability to move to SD
2. Ad-free version at a cost
I would sincerely like to thank author egzthunder1 who wrote about Phone Genie in the XDA blog. It sure gave the opening I never dreamed of.
I also realise that many of you guys tweeted and retweeted, passed the word to friends regarding the app. Phone Genie crossed 3000 downloads in the first 3 days. It may not be as big as some of the apps posted here but this being my 2nd app, the confidence this download count gives is immense. Big thanks, guys.
@nicky041192, I thought the app being around 350 KB will comfortably fit within internal memory. If the data part gets bigger and bigger, I shall enable App 2 SD. And I would love to offer an ad-free paid version but I am not sure if GSMArena will like the idea. Moreover Android developers from India cannot sell apps yet.

Can you just not add App2SD in anyway? I like to move as many apps to my SD card despite the size.
Contact GSMArena for permission. You could always give them a small percentage of all sales. I just think the ad takes up a bit of room.
I found a bug,I have lock orientation on. It locks the orientation on the main screen but after I had made a search, it rotates, even though I have orientation lock on... Kind of annoying... I'm using my HTC Wildfire with official froyo.

Alright I will enable App2SD in the next update. In the meantime, if you have rooted your Wildfire, you can forcefully move apps 2 SD by installing one of those Move2SD Enabler apps that require root.
I am planning to get in touch with GSMArena once the user verdict of the app comes out. Judging by the current response, the app is a success beyond my expectations. Phone Genie has crossed 5000 downloads in 5 days. The only promotion we got so far is the article on XDA blog. The power of XDA community is quite visible.
Regarding screen rotation, the device comparison screen needs landscape mode as you cannot fit specification tables of 2 phones side by side in portrait mode. Now when you press the back button, it takes you to the previous screen, which is the compare search activity. Now if we did not enable both orientations for that screen, the user will have to go back and forth from portrait to landscape to portrait, every time a comparison is done. This issue was indicated during the beta testing among friends and family.
Many people lock orientation on their phones to prevent other applications like SMS clients, ebook readers, news apps etc from switching to landscape while reading in bed. But generally everyone liked the idea of Phone Genie allowing both modes as orientation will change anyway during comparison screen, while still allowing the users to keep orientation lock intact for other apps. Which is why I had to override the lock mode. If more people find it inconvenient, I will set it to obey orientation lock.
Just dropping in to say I released a new update today which will enable Move to SD card option. Along with that are some bug fixes and minor UI changes.
How about removing ads during the landscape screen mode when comparing phones? Even on a big 4.3" screen, the ad really messes up the view.
Ads on normal portrait sections of the app is fine. I know you need the ads for income.... Just think about it. Thanks.

[APP] XDA TV (Tablet Edition) v1.4

XDA TV (Tablet Edition) v1.4​
Now you can have all the XDA TV videos wherever you go using this application. At the time it's limited to tablets(since I got my Galaxy Tab last week and I wanted to play with some coding for it). I need people testing if this works and how it works on Honeycomb tablets(since I don't have one to test). If you were looking for the phone version, just click here.
I've been working on this for a week. Making the layout using HTML and CSS3 was easy, but I got a lot of problems while trying to make the code work on Android, so I took a bit more to match the code for Android. At the time I can't find another way to open up the videos without firing up the browser to redirect to the Video application, the OS has a lot of problems with HTML5 Video tag so I've done it like this.
The technologies used on this application:
PhoneGap
iScroll
jQuery
HTML5 and CSS3

1. Yes it did open in a browser window - but the program went back to the App. In order to watch the video I had to switch back to the browser.
2. The GUI is a little off..... "TV" is located between the brown bar and the video pane. The Play button w/ description could be centered in the app.... I know I am nit picking, but you asked

Split-screen multitasking/dual monitor app?

The Note's screen is large enough that in landscape, split in half, each side is still larger than many phone screens I've used before, including smart phones. I'd really like to be able to do split screen multitasking. Has anyone made something like this yet? Sure, the resolution of each half would be a little weird at 800x640, but doesn't ICS alleviate resolution issues? I'd love to be able to use each side as a separate monitor.
If not, perhaps it could be split into two 800x480 screens with a strip of controls in the center. Or split into 800x800 and 800x480. Should be easy to adapt graphics for 800x800.
This is something I'd really like, so if it's not done already, someone please do it! Should I repost this in development? It may be more involved than just creating an app.
... very good question
I think the easiest solution is using a remote log in app with your computer.
The Note's screen in half equals to two 3.62" of 640x800 screens! That's 2 iPhone screens and more!
I'm sure the text/icons will be way more readable/viewable that the "mock-up" below..

This is not trivial as it may sound on Android.
According to Android concepts, there may only be one Activity* in the foreground.
Other pop ups and menus are not full blown activities. Android manages all the Activities.
Activities that are not in the foreground are closed to free memory up.
The only way I can see without modifying android is to find some way the widgetify an android activity so it is treated as a widget. This way you can place two apps as widgets next to each other and even resize them as you like.
* An android activity is a java class extending the Activity class, managed by android window manager.

Have you also tried the same developers calculator named AirCalc.
It works on the same principle and is great when you need a calculator with another App ~ i.e. EasyMoney & AirCalc.
I think better than splitting the screen into 2 would be if we can push the output via MHL to a screen and move an app there, how one can do on a PC with 2 monitors.
So watch a movie on the TV/monitor and text or use the phone on its native display.
Onskreen Cornerstone makes three windows for multitasking. It currently only works on Motorola Xoom. But it is open source and has to be incorporated into ROM. I hope some clever developer can adapt this for GNote*. Check out

What's new? Who cares? Bill Gates taught us that higher numbers are better.
Enjoy!
Seems weird that they go from the dark scheme to this. I wonder if they will also do that with key lime pie?

May sound dumb, but I can't figure out where I'm supposed to put this. Any help?

love the new look. The previous play store felt out of place with ics and jellybean
If you hate white like I do check out B-boy's blacked out version.

As they have shown numerous times with their current efforts, Google has absolutely no clue how to design an intuitive UI. The My apps list is still birdied in menus, the list of installed apps now uses stupid big icons that waste screen real estate, and the interface is too flat, with insufficient visual cues what is click able and what is not. Grrr... I am smelling WP in my future.

I think Google does a great job with their UI, across JB and now the new play store. I really don't understand the "waste" of screen real estate in the Play Store.. The Play Store is made for APPS and the like, so why not let the APPS and the like take center stage inside the Play Store?
Wow this new play store app really looks good I like the new interface :thumbup:

Where shall I start...
When you launch the store the stuff at the bottom of the screen is 'flash sale' and other junk, the essential buttons to reach various categories of the catalog are at the top where they are unreachable without holding the phone with two hands.
The most frequently used category (my apps) is buried inside a menu option.
When you finally get to the list of apps the density of the list has been decreased. There are now fewer entries per page which is absolutely unnecessary.
Now open any app installed in the store and look at the screen. The open and uninstall buttons, arguably the most useful functionality on thus screen is at the top, where once again they cannot be easily reached without holding the phone with two hands.
Now try to press the open button. Do that five times. How many times did you hit uninstall instead? For me the error rate is about 50 percent because the buttons are too close together.
There is at least half a dozen bone head decisions I could rattle off but you get the idea. The hallmark of Google's recent interfaces is the flat white look with elimination of visual cues.
And Imo the look of android is unrefined, with icons and UI elements looking mostly like they were designed by a programmer, not a graphics artist.
It is distressing to see google develop a fanboi following not unlike the people who drink the Apple coolaid. Oh well..
