If you guys want your phone to be able to use transition effects (very fast and nice) like google had when they were demoing how flash will work, just follow these steps. You will also gain a lot of cool little features like cpu load viewer etc.
First go to the market and download Apps Installer. Then download the files I just uploaded.(unzip)
Copy the files you just downloaded to your root sdcard
Run App installer and Look for Dev tools. Install that. It might as you to allow untrusted applications to run. Click on allow then finish install
Then run the program dev tools
Click on Development Settings
and Change
Windows animation scale to 1x
Transition animation scare to 1x
and light hinting
Exit and play with your phone HAHA!! It beautiful.
You have a couple of extra options as well as Cpu load metter, process display, maximum thread open allow limit etc.
Anyways have fun!
PS. Also added API Demos.
------
The transition effect does not use up any extra juice to run. This app was used by google in order to test speed of builds and also as a quick way to stress when developing.
I would suggest limiting processes to a minimum of 4 or living it on no app process limit.
If you go below three what happens is that when you start certain built in features the phone spawns several process at the same time, and since it is limited it will force close the app you called. for testing purposes 3 or below is fine but not for daily usage.
Immediately destroy applications has an effect of eventually slowing down your phone since the app has to be reloaded at every use instead of "caching" it in memory. We have more than enough memory for android on this phone. Again to keep things lean and fast I would only use 4 for processes as a minimum. (This is personal choice, remember some apps that you might like run in the background and this may shut them down in order to comply with your policy of limiting the apps.
*These apps where extracted from the android SDK and is used by developers and google for testing. Google went the safe route and disabled features
DroidSans has implemented this find into his application, so you can now get this at the Market
how about a little video to show the claimed beauty?
It will take 10 minutes to enable yourself. I would do a video but my coworker has a G1 LOL no video recording!!
Both apps work great. The option to see the graph for the g sensors is fun to play with, and the transitions look pretty sweet.

Both of those apps are part of the SDK and can be extracted from the emulator. I was briefly looking at the code to gauge the difficulty of adding custom effects:
Ie, i wanted windows to zoom in and out when switching between applications, and to slide when switching between windows within the same application. More natural that way. I think thats what the iPhone does too. Looks pretty easy to do though.
Precisely, I was playing with the sdk and remembered the dev tool so I adb pulled and it worked beutifull. I am looking at the code too see what can happen
Does this actually improve the performance of the system? Meaning does it making browsing faster or is it just eye candy?

That's really cool... thanks for the tip
Yay
It works great, thanks for the tutorial.
Doesn't work for me
Installing via the web browser or apps installer fails for me (for the Development.apk)
Message isn't terribly helpful (application install unsuccessful), anyone know of a good place to look in logs to catch what's happening here?
Settings
Applications
Check Unknown Sources
That should take care of the failed install, if not then there is something totally unrelated happening
I set the Transition animation scale to 2x, I like it a bit slower. Those API Demos are pretty cool, I watched the Kube (Rubik's Cube demo in Graphics/OpenGL ES) for a few minutes to see if it would solve itself
Try using the APK installer. It's a Tool in the Market.
Under the development settings what do the other options do? It looks like you can limit the number of apps running or the app close when you exit it.
download
Can some1 upload or email me the zip n .xxx format I'm trying to download it on my g1 but as all you know it doesn't support .zip
My email is xile06 gmail

maybe you should try extracting it first
duh
I was trying to download the zip from the g1 but the g1 doesn't download .zip my pc doesn' have net right now but thanx for the preson who emailed me the .xxx Great app and thanks again it was uploaded to.

oh, sorry about that.
Great find btw. Using the animation, cpu, and process list but can anyone tell me whats the X.XX / X.XX / X.XX on the top of the process list for ?
Another massive update. :]
Hex was originally a board game. The goal is to try and connect your two sides of the board before your opponent. The first player has the advantage so there's a "first move swap" where the second player can swap positions on their first move (it's toggle-able). The game gets pretty hard when both players know what they're doing.
The app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sam.hex
The code:
https://github.com/Xlythe/HexGame_Android
You can donate through in app purchases if you like the game and don't mind buying me a soda. And I'll try to help anyone who wants to write their own AI or make a different board game off the code. The code should be a lot cleaner than it once was.
Cool
I got a bit overexcited and pushed without doing a proper code freeze. Needless to say, bugs popped up. How do most people handle this? I assume it's one of the two:
a) Spend the week cleaning up and release a clean, solid app
b) Push updates periodically as you clean up all the known bugs (despite the likelihood that more will pop up)
I've been doing the latter, not wanting an app that's broken (especially if I have the fix for it), but I'm a bit afraid it'll annoy users with the frequent updates. I should have just forced myself to be patient and waited a week... And written tests...
Computer is a bit stupid

Haha, yes. There's another computer, Bee, who's a lot smarter but also a lot slower. I thought the default, Will, was better for showing someone new how to play (Faster, more beatable).
It's really easy to write a new AI (a good one, though, is a bit harder). If anyone writes something good and wants it pushed to the market, I'll gladly pull the changes. No one's really shown any interest in the game (programming wise), though, and it's at a good enough state that I'd rather write a new app than tweak Hex further.
Now in the F-droid repo, the only one with NCSA license; congratulations
Maaaaassive update. It's been a while since I learned how to code for Android, and everything I've learned has been put back into the game. It's animated, fluid, and just looks amazing. There's Google+ Achievements and Net play too.
This game is driving me up the ******* wall! (which is a good sign I suppose, because it means I am obsessed with it.)
How are you supposed to swap player 1 and player 2? There's an option in settings to enable swapping, but how do you actually swap? I want to let the AI go first.
small screen problem
I can't press the left lower cell because of a small screen size. All time I press the Undo instead of the cell.
Nice :cyclops:
You cant swap who goes first right now (it was there, but got lost in the ui overhaul). I'm probably going to randomize it.
I'll add smaller buttons for smaller devices.

New update! History page was redone, a lot of bug fixes, a new achievement, yada yada yada. Oh, and it's in Dutch now :]
This question has been asked but the ONLY reason i am asking it is because one of them is for car accident documentation and the other had no answer and was asked for an unknown reason. (i am a new user so i am unable to link to these two threads.):crying:
Well I know their are "Secret Video Recording' apps out their although the main reason for these seam to be use surreptitiously and my reason is something for something I don't want to hide and actually be able to check on it every once and a while.
Here is what i am talking about Being that i have the dock and the t300 has a rear facing camera i wish to utilize them both at the same time. Here is the scenario: I am in class attending a lecture and although i am a fast typist I cant capture things like slides or pictures in general for my notes. I wish to be able to Video Record the lecture while taking notes at the same time. Alas i have been unable to find software to do this. I have been told before that i should use a "secret" recorder and set up the shot first with my normal camera app. Although this does not let me 1.) go to the video intermittently and make sure what i want is still in frame, people move and sometimes the tablet does while i am taking notes all it takes is someone bumping me from the side or for someone in front of me to move and the rest of the video might as well be an audio recording . and 2.) stop recording easily when its not needed (breaks pauses during lectures and the random jokes or anecdotes some teachers like to tell) not having this ability i have to edit the video or deal with the extra content.
In all I am pretty sure you get my idea I wish i could create a mod to the camera app that lets me put the recording in the background and takes notes I am no DEV but to me it sounds easy although if it was i bet it would be available already.
THE most Possible BEST thing to add to this would also be able to have the option to monitor the recording in a small Samsung like super window but with a live feed not just playback so without having to change the entire screen i can quickly check its progress in a small window.
Sorry for the long post I am just wondering if this could be even possible I would pay for an app like this as currently the only way i can get video is by using two devices although the higher position of the tablet camera is ideal.
Thank you for reading this and I hope this sparks someones interest and possibly with the amount of people highly intelligent when it comes to these matters I know if it is possible someone or someones here can create it. Again that is if it is possible, personally i don't see why not but if i was that smart i wouldn't need to ask. I would just create the app.
Like a lot of others here I have ideas about how things could be improved but have not the ability to do it myself. I f I were 30 years younger, maybe.
I share here two ideas, let us share yours. DEVs, use these ideas as you like.
1. There is not yet a usable STEGANOGRAPHY app, For windows you have STEGANO.NET, which lets you hide any kind of data (documents or even other pictures) in a picture. The UI is ok. Something like that does not exist for Android or iOS. Come on, tackle the NSA a bit.
2. My lenovo phone comes with a powersaver app, which allows to set the CPU to 0.8 (from 1.2) Nearly everything runs smooth enough at 0.8. But only nearly. To watch a movie I have to reset to 1.2.
My idea: a CPU clocker that can be preset , something like a whitelist.. (That may exist, if so, my excuses)
Small one this - when you go into Google+ and go settings/back up all, then click `yes` on the `but it'll take ages` moan, do you find that it always claims to have completed successfully immediately, rather than say `backup started` and then show you the progress (which could take ages if you have a bunch of video/photos which need uploading)? Because I do, and I didn't get this on previous phones. You can see that it works if you go to the Photo app, where you can see the progress, and each photo which needs uploading has a little cloud icon showing its status.
