Hello,
This is a program that uses polling to check if tasks have been changed and then posts the changes to the homescreen. Written in managed C# code. We will start the most recent version as v0.0.1 because i have done several changes since the beginning of the project and none of them were documented we will consider this as the base version and will build from there.
---(VERSION 0.0.1.5)---
fixed problem from 0.0.1.4 were it would try to delete a registry key subtree that would not be there because it was the first time running the program.
---(REQUIREMENTS)---
Windows Mobile 6.1 Enabled Smartphone
---(INSTALLATION)---
The One Step Installation
(since im new and don't know how to create a .cab its just an executable)
-unzip the .exe into a directory and execute.(Technically this could be 2 steps but im going to consolidate them into one because they are quite simple.)
---(CURRENTLY KNOWN PROBLEMS)---
Known problems that I am trying to work on.
-There have been accounts of the homescreen locking up with users using NRG Mini Weather.(Not sure if there could be a solution to this so if you have this program there may be possible problems. If you don't experience problems please leave comments.)
-When the selected task is selected and the middle button is pressed it takes the user to the tasks screen and not to the selected task.(Currently it is just executing the tasks.exe programn, but im still working on a way to change this).

Could you please post a screen shot?!
Hey unknown man

I know the update fixed my problems but please respond as to if they had fixed yours please.
on Ricky's 1.6 remake of NRG's rom, the 1.5 really freezes everything. I put it on my phone, rebooted, opened file explorer, 1. the icon/Chomeplugin flickers like crazy, 2. the loading pie never disappears 3. when i click home, i can go back to the home screen, and the panel works great, my bug with the # of tasks shown is resolved. When I click edit task, it goes to tasks, 4. but as soon as i do anything (clicking on the tasks themselves, clicking menu button) Tasks freezes. 4. Celetask, file explorer, and Tasks are all frozen.
I'm gonna say that this app or vice versa the ROM are not ready for each other. What Rom you running unknownman? I may go back to Ricky Rom v24, I'm just unhappy with how many problems are in my current one.
[edit] a second reboot yields better results, it doesnt freeze anymore.

the rom im using is the one that was stock with my Pantech Duo. So im not using any cooked roms.
Unknownman, thanks so much for your hard work on this application! I will be installing this tomorrow hopefully and I will hopefully find some bugs for you to squash.
Also, very noobish question, but when you come out with a new version, do you just run the exe again, or have to uninstall the previous?

As it currently stands when you need to get a new version either reboot your phone or shut down the app by creating a task with the subject line of "shutdown" without the quotes. Ill add that to the instructions when i release a new version.
Things are going great on 0.0.1.5 (?). Quick question though; I use Agenda One to handle tasks and such. Is there a way to allow the tasks panels to link to Agenda One's task creator/manager instead of the default WM task creator/manager?
Another quick question: Does anyone know how to set WM to look beyond "tomorrow" for appointments? It would be nice if we can set how many days in advance to see the upcoming appointments. I used Facade previously, but it doesn't work with the Sliding Panels. Any ideas?
Just a quick note. I have created tasks but once they have been completed, they do not disappear from the panels. Is this still a problem?
Ummm... i dont believe this was ever a problem. If you could please check to see if the ChomePlugin.exe is still running in the processes on your task manager in you phone. Could you also please explain if you are using a third party app for task support or if you have any other 3rd party apps running like NRG. Thanks.
Ahh, yes, that was the problem. The Chome plugin wasn't running. However, when I go to launch ChomePlugin.exe through Resco Explorer, the wheel just spins and doesn't go away. The program still launches because it is working, but I'm not sure if this is supposed to stay like that or not. I don't have NRG loaded. I do use Agenda One for calendar/contacts/tasks, etc.
Another quick thing. When I go into Chome Configurator, it get an invalid operation exception message. Any ideas? Thanks!
Justa quick note. I am getting an error coming up saying "ChomePlugin.exe experienced an error. Plase restart the program." The details are "IndexOutOfRangeException at CHomePlugin.TempTask.CreateTempTask(Page p) at CHomePlugin.Program.run()" Trying to restart it gets the same message.
I will take a look at that... first of all could you tell me the tasks that you currently have shown on your task panel plugin because thats where the error is. And did you use ChomeConfigurator to edit any of the listed panels?
Here is what I had in the tasks section: One that ended today. One that had been completed a week ago. And one that is due 3 days from today. Clearing the one that ended today and the one completed a week ago allowed the program to run now. No program error anymore.
I used Chome Configurator to change the order of the panels but no new ones or changes to the details.
I tried this before when you introduced it in the Excalibur forum. Just tried it again to see how the update works, but it blanks out my homescreen. Wasnt there a companion app that refreshed the home screen?
I am currently going to hault updates on this application untill the new year because im going to learn mobile application development in C++. Shouldn't take me south of a month or two. Then i will be able to update the homescreen like NRG does without refreshing the whole homescreen. Ill keep everyone posted on any updates.
Thanks again for the support.(Even though I didn't collect my money from the people who said they would give $10...j/k)
It'd be great if we could work on this some more once you have some more time. Don't feel rushed, please... We know you are doing this on your own time.
Any more developments coming for this great app?

The defragmentation on boot remove void spaces in the databases in /data/, thus they size is reduced, but the boot time will increase.

Can be inserted a sort of live chat (IRC) that can allow to ppl that using Revolver Part to comunicate in real time for problems or other? This client could be started only by user's needs (i remember that for example Jdownloader have a plugin inside that allow to enter in a dedicated chat room for speech to Devs or other users).

lol but also StarTrek Technology was exaggerated years ago ^^ i suggest to insert a plug that allow Revolver's user to communicate to each other in a sub-community reserved for Revolver ROM in this case ppl that have simple problem can ask on chat without re-write same things in the main topic on XDA
directories for downloads for a mod be in /ClockWorkMod/mod/file.zip , them- /ClockWorkMod/theme/file.zip
also these should be configurable and delete the all zips on sd or a selective one in the clockworkmod folder
for apps
a market selection, honeycomb market, or stock...
screen calibration
Being able to download the full flash able rom within the app would be nice. Along with downloading updates, I always make sure I have a full version on hand in case something goes wrong.
But because of the "download failed" bug, downloading the flash able full from is all but impossible from my tablet.
If the Galaxy Tab 10.1 ebook reader gets ported over and added to other you will officially be the best person ever gnufabio
Feature Request:
While Its easy to do in CM thanks to the CM tools, I have had to manually change the device name!
Ill be asking this of roach for his Prime rom (come on, I love jumping from release to release checking out the hot-spots before returning ) "Prime Tweaks" as well!
What I currently have to do:
$ su
# getprop net.hostname Android_A100001B6A55CA
# setprop net.hostname RevolverPoweredTF101
In terminal, maybe you could add this somewhere in Revolver parts so I can easily change it from there instead of terminal or some other 3rd party software
market crashes
my market keeps crashin after i open my apps
[edit] fixed by unistalling markte v3.1.5 and installing v3.3.11
i have revolver parts installed but why is my sub-category empty, like for example when i click Mods - their is nothing listed, is that normal? pictures show that their is number of items....
Thanks to anyone for their suggestions, I will keep them present

Its the device's DNS hostname (like the computer name setting in Windows). CM7 has the option to change this on the Settings > Applications > Development page. I agree that this would be handy to include in Revolver Parts.
gnufabio said:

That string is exactly what it says its for the HOSTNAME... thought that was a given
But seriously however, the hostname is the name the device presents to other devices on a network! IE If I go to the network area on my WinBlows PC it shows me the PC's on my network and the names associated with them, IE I see Desktop, Craptop, NetCrap, DorimanxPoweredHD2 and RevolverPoweredTF101
You can also see the hostnames (easier IMHO) if you go to your routers status or lan status page (I use DD-WRT so I see it on the SYS-INFO page), IE I see HOSTNAME : IP : MAC : LEASE TIME
The hostname is a commonly used identifier for devices on a network making them human identifiable (and with 5 Android devices in this household, seeing Android_435knl324hn5l324hnln5l32 a few times with just a different following string each time is annoying as piss... hell you could even make a default host name for when people flash your ROM and only the most picky (*me+some others) would notice... or want to change it to something else
Needless to say, if you decided to come up with a default HostName to use on your ROM's Id support it 100%, BUT make sure you have the option in Revolver Parts to rename it to something else incase someone has more then one or is anal (me) about naming schemes!
Thanks again!
Maybe would be nice a sub-category under Themes called "Battery Skins", or something like that, where to put different skins for the awesome battery-with-percentage mod.
Another new feature that you could add is a simple way to let users share their mods to the community, maybe after a compatibility check etc...
Last but non least you could add a "tips & tricks" section with some usefuls mods, like "change screen resolution" "font size" or as said before to set a custom Hostname and other cool stuff....
Thanks for your great work Gnufabio!
There has been a little conversation about this new device in the Yinlips G18 thread, but I thought it deserved it's own space.

Rooting / Google Market install instructions (thanks jutley)
Firmware update/restore instructions - Note that the S7100 is available in either a resistive or (slightly more expensive) capacitive touchscreen version. The ROMs for these two versions are not intercompatible. Make sure you get the correct update. (thanks blokenfeffer)
Starfox 64 demo:
More information will be added as it becomes available.
Quick walkthrough on how to replace the stock emulators on the S7100.
Disclaimer as usual: everything here is at your OWN RISK.
I'll be using Gensoid as an example, as this emulator refused to launch for me out of the box.
Requirements:
Rooted S7100.
File explorer with root permissions.
Gensoid replacement.
1) Once your device is rooted, you'll need to grab a file explorer. The explorer I use is ES File Explorer.
2) Download Gensoid. For this example, place this on the root of your SD card. As long as you can find this file in ES Explorer, it doesn't really matter where you put it.
Instructions:
Launch ES File Explorer, press the menu button and change the following options:
Change Home Directory to /
Check Root Explorer to enabled
Check Mount File System to enabled
Back out of the settings and navigate to the following directory:
/system/app
Long press on Gnes4droid.apk and rename it to Gnes4droid.apkbak
Navigate to /system/libs/ and rename the folder Gnes4droid to Gnes4droidbak
Now power off the S7100 and power it back up again, if you do not power off installation in the next step will fail.
Launch ES File Explorer again and find the APK for Gensoid that you downloaded previously and press it. It should now offer to install the application, follow the on screen steps and you should have successfully replaced the preloaded version of Gensoid.
Any games you have should still autmoatically launch from the Game Center icons and the MD lists, but adds the advantage of having a launcher icon for the emulator itself, should you wish to customise your device with another launcher.
This should work for any preloaded emulator that you wish to replace with a previous version. Do NOT delete the other emulators just incase you want to revert.
If you have any issues, you can always undo the renaming operations above.
I ordered one of these things a few weeks ago, and finally got it in the mail, but it doesn't boot; it sits at a blank white screen. Any thoughts?

Tried booting into recovery and loading factory defaults? I read about someone who had a similar issue.
Which website did you buy it from?
If factory defaults don't work you could also try downloading f/w above and reloading it.
To get into recovery (courtesy of Jutleys via apad forum):
Press and hold the Menu button, keep the Menu button pressed and now press the Power on button. The "upgrading please wait" message will be displayed.The menu will be displayed. Use the Volume + and - buttons to navigate the menu options.From the menu you can perform the following functions:Wipe data/factory reset.Yes-delete all user data.Wipe cache partition.Wipe media storage partition.Apply SD-card update.zip.
From the menu choose "Apply SD-card update.zip" select the option using the Back button. Wait while the tablet reflashes. Ensure the battery is fully charged or the power cable is connected before starting the reflash process. After the reflash is complete. Press the Back button to reboot the tablet.
I just ordered one of these. Sounds perfect since I am delevoping games for Android, and this is a mix of everything Android it seems.
I got just about all Emulators for Android, so I hope to test how well they will work on this. Amiga, C64, almost all Segas, most Nintendo, DosBox and Playstation 1. I just worry that it might be too low quality and won't work at all.

JXD S7100 ADW Launcher & Custom icons
Just got mine a couple days ago...
First thing i did was root, install market, and got rid of that horrible launcher it comes with, replaced it with ADW, and i also made a few custom icons for games and emulators, still working on more. Heres a pic

When u say u got rid of the launcher, can u completely remove it or just use adw instead?
Reason bring is I installed go launcher but the original still resides.
Also do u know how to get rid if the Chinese market and crap? I replaced some default emulators with new versions by renaming originals in system/app folder but can't see anything fire the Chinese stuff.
I did not completely remove it but I beleive you can use titanium backup, I used it to remove all the Chinese apps and everything else I didn't need

Wouldn't be wise to remove their launcher entirely. If you use an alternative launcher though, you can set it as the default launcher which effectively does the same thing anyway.
Settings > applications > all > launcher > clear defaults on "Launch by default".
Next time you press HOME, it will ask you which app to use as your default launcher, set it to Go Launcher and it'll be the default launcher from boot.
To reverse this if you have any issues, repeat the steps above and select Go Launcher to clear defaults, instead of launcher.

JXD s7100 Bluetooth Support?
Does anyone know if this device supports Bluetooth? I read on another forum that there is a firmware upgrade for the resistive screen model that has Bluetooth in the caption. If the device does have Bluetooth, does this mean it's only in the resistive screen model? Maybe only later releases of the device received the Bluetooth capability (resistive and capacitive)? Thanks for any information.

There seems to be a few different models out there and seemingly one of them has bluetooth. I'm not aware of where this model is being sold though, as almost nobody seems to have a bluetooth enabled model.
My capacitive model doesn't have bluetooth and looking at the restive models other users have, theirs don't have it either.
Fairly sure this isn't a stock upgrade for later releases though, rather another SKU.

One thing I find that is strange though. The following sites list that it does have Bluetooth. Sorry I could not link to the entire URL. The forum has yet to give me the privilege to do so.

Do you think that this is an error on their part? They have had this same information on their site since the launch of the device.

It's possibly an error, or they could have the bluetooth model. Mine has bluetooth sharing running in the background, but there's no bluetooth hardware in the machine that I'm aware of.
There are definitely 3 different firmware revisions on the JXD site though, including bluetooth and none bluetooth versions.

Thanks again, blokenfeffer. That answers my question to why I saw a picture on JXD's website with the Bluetooth symbol running in the notification bar. It must have just been running in the software, yet it does not have the actual hardware to support it. I guess I'll just have to wait and see if the new units coming out have Bluetooth or not.
Mine definitely does not have bluetooth. Interestingly, it thinks it has GPS, but even after spending 10 very cold minutes outside with the device pointed at the sky, I could not get a single satellite signal. So I suspect that radio is not present either.
Lots of tinkering!
I have been following this thread since its introduction and appreciate all the tips and tricks that have been very helpful. I thought I would add my findings to the thread.
I finally got current location working in the browser and on wifi.
After countless try's I have found a reliable networklocation.apk that works..
- 1 First you must be rooted
- 2 In order to get it to work google search tiadroid6.1 and its the first link that pops up.
- 3 Extract the file networklocation.apk and using (es file explorer or similiar app) and add it to your /system/apps folder
- 4 shutdown and reboot your device
Volia! enjoy!
Things I have currently done
- Rooted/Market via visionary
- Changed boot screen
- ICS Keyboard (must have)
- Removed Badiu and all the factory launcher and junk (makes this thing pretty snappy)
- Netflix works great
- Skype works but hangs at times
Problems I'm currently working
- factory camera app is really screwy I downloaded HDR app from the market and it appears to work fine so I'm hoping its software
When I load it I sit at a blank screen regardless of which camera I have selected. Sometimes I can get it to work by going to video and clicking the mms video option.
- GTA III boots and loads just fine plays the entire movie and will sometimes even let you play for a minute or two then crashes with an android process error
I *had* Bluetooth on mine untill I dared to update it with one of the firmware on JXD's website
UPDATE:
Fixed my camera problem and with chainfire 3D most games work really well on this thing. For those that have sporadic camera issues make sure that you don't have the screen locked and that the screen rotates.
I'm crossing my fingers to get gingerbread on this device so that we can use OnLive gaming.
Also I have been messing with power profiles and am seeing better battery life in the 4+ hr range.
The charger that came with it died so I'm in the process of building another one. So more to come once I can charge this thing!

Quick question about your bluetooth. Did you actually have it working? If so have you taken apart to get the BT chip info by chance to try and recover that functionality?

Well, I could turn it on & off, it seemed to be responding properly, was going to test some bluetooth gadgets after the firmware upgrade but alas...
I haven't taken the thing apart yet, I'm mailing back & forth with JXD at the moment to see if they can help, if that fails though I probably will take it apart.
Hi everybody,
I've made an app that I'd like to share with all fellow gamers.
It's called "JD SimWheel" and it turns your Android device into a virtual steering wheel to control your PC racing games.
You can get it here from Google Play, its completely free. (Details on how to install and use are included in the description)
It works over WiFi and requires a PC with Windows XP/Vista/7/8 (32bit or 64bit) and an android device that has an accelerometer.
Any feedback on it will be much appreciated, thank you.
It'd be good if there was a link to the PStore -_-
..
Would it work on Mac/you plan to make it working on Mac?
I made link clickable.

I dont have this simulator so I cant test it, but I found in their site FAQ (citycardriving.com/faq?view=faq&catid=9) the following :
"If you're using a racing wheel, first of all, you should assign buttons and axes in the game settings. Go to the game controls menu and set proper wheel buttons and pedal axes for all actions in the game you need. To do that you should double-click with the left mouse button on every action in the list and then push the proper button or pedal on your wheel to assign this button or pedal for this action."
(they also have a video)
So that means that it has a 99% chance it WILL work same way as any other game that SimWheel works with...
I've written down some instructions for another game (jdsimwheel.blogspot.gr/2013/08/how-to-setup-jd-simwheel-for-f1-2012.html) but the same principals apply.
Let me know how this worked for you. :fingers-crossed:
Thank you

You can check that vJoy and SimWheel work ok by doing these steps:
1. Run SimWheel server, SimWheel app and press connect (dont forget to enable your WiFi first)
2. Open the "usb game controllers" in windows control panel (you can start it also by pressing WindowsKey+R and typing rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL joy.cpl)
3. Select the vJoy device and click properties
4. Select the tab "Test" and check if the plus sign (on the left side of the window) moves up and down when you tilt the phone.
Maybe the game doesn't use the Y-axis. If thats the case, I will make a version of SimWheel server that will enable you to select another axis to move instead of Y.

Sorry the + sign doesn't move when i tilt the phone. Can I ask does this app require a gyroscope or is an accelerometer fine. Maybe it won't work because my phone does'n have a gyroscope.

Just an accelerometer is all thats needed. Maybe it is disabled (settings) or firmware needs an update. There are several free accelerometer testing apps in Google Play that can help you check its current status easily.

Sorry but I tested the accelerometer and it works just fine I also downloaded JD Simwheel on my tablet but it still wont work, I'm starting to think it's a problem on my PC its Win 7 64 bit its in test mode, What do you think?
Same problem here, also no input on pc-screen
Accelerometer works in the android-app fine?

The vJoy driver (third party, not mine) works on 64bit systems in test mode cause its not signed by microsoft. Microsoft requires a big fee to sign a 64bit driver, but offers the test mode for unsigned drivers, which is nothing more than an annoying message on the bottom right corner of the desktop, compared to normal mode. I have win 7 64bit too on my PC, so its not that. There is a new driver now that it is signed and works on normal mode.
When you run SimWheel server, does it say the following ?
driver status : ENABLED
Joy A : Acquired
Y-Axis : Yes
X-Axis : Yes
if not, uninstall completely vJoy driver, reboot computer and install again. During installation vJoy shows information and asks for verification on various steps. Accept and reboot when required.
Also when you press CONNECT on the android app, does the server show something like
Client : 192.168.1.100 ?
On the link below you will find a photo of what it should be like, when the vJoy driver is installed correctly and the app is connected :

It seems your settings are incorrect so here is how to fix it:
-Close "usb game controllers" and SimWheel server first.
vJoy offers a configuration utility (you can see it in the photo it is the lower left window) :
-Start "Configure vJoy" (Start -> All programs -> vJoy -> Configure vJoy)
-Select "Action Reset" (lower left) and hit apply
-Run game controllers and check if now it is like in the photo I posted.
Do NOT calibrate from the windows "usb game controllers" this device, as windows will most probably mess up the vJoy settings.
Instead calibrate it from the settings of the SimWheel android app (if needed).

if the buttons work at "usb game controllers" after that, meaning each respective button lights on red when pressed then the problem lies with the accelerometer function. If you could share more details about the android device, like model number and android version I could look into it further.
thank you
There is a known problem with multitouch on some devices like samsung galaxy ace with android version 2.xx.
I am currently working on a fix and will update the app on google play soon.

Downloads
All features of the app are available for free, without any ads. If this app has been helpful, there's an option to donate via an in-app purchase. This does NOT unlock any new features. Thank you for your support.
Please do not mirror without permission. Link to this thread or play store page if you want to share this app elsewhere. So that users will know where to check for updates and get support from.
_
Important Information
A nandroid/Ti backup is recommended before trying the app.
Some devices/ROMs face a soft reboot when density is changed. There's a test in the app to check this. If density change indeed causes reboot, density is ignored in per-app profiles.
If your screen becomes unusable after setting a resolution, wait for ~15 seconds. It should revert to your default resolution.
If that does not work, reboot -> wait for 2 min (for the service to start) -> reboot again -> wait for service to start.
If that too does not work (I certainly hope that you won't have to do this), issue the following commands in adb shell (using a pc):
For JB 4.3 and above:
Code:
wm size reset
wm density reset
wm overscan reset
Below JB 4.3:
Code:
am display-size reset
am display-density reset
Also please note that uninstalling the app won't restore default display settings. So please switch the service off first, if you want to uninstall. Also tell me why you uninstalled it.

Thank you all for the amazing response! 10000 downloads at the end of 1 week! (XDA + bitly link)
Thanks to XDA Portal and Phone Arena, and other tech blogs, for featuring the app. It means a lot, to get this kind of exposure for one of the first apps of mine.
A bit of background
I have a Nexus 4, and it's display started to develop problems a few months back. The nav bar area stopped registering touches at all (though ghost-touches were experienced quite frequently). I managed with pie controls and similar apps for a while. But more recently, this area began to increase, and almost 50% of my screen doesn't respond to touch now. I was looking for a software solution to make the phone usable till I can replace the digitizer and screen of my phone. Then I stumbled upon an adb shell command, wm, which could do a temporary fix for my touch screen issues. I thought I'd make a GUI for the functionality offered by the wm command, and the end result is what you see in this thread.
What Next?
I'm planning to implement per-app profiles, and automatic density calculation for the next major version of the app.
Suggestions are welcome.
Some credits

It does work in Lollipop. You can see that the screenshots are in fact taken in 5.1 Lollipop.
It should work with M too. I don't have a device to check that right now. Maybe I'll test it out in M emulator as soon as possible.

forgive my ignorance but is this just an easy way to change the (or what was) "ro.sf.lcd_density=XX" in the build.prop or is there something special to this? I realize there's more to it vs the build.prop edit, but it does kinda/sorta the same type of thing? not discrediting the feature...Just curious Thanks again!

Actually, it's an easy way to issue the adb command wm (or am before JB 4.3).
Check this SO question for more details on wm command: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18500611/android-how-to-use-adb-shell-wm-to-simulate-other-devices.
I started building this app because parts of my screen stopped working, actually. Then I thought, it could be useful more generally.

Just switch the service off using the switch in action bar. If your display has somehow become unusable, follow instructions in OP, under the heading "Important Information". If you have uninstalled the app, resetting can be done using the adb commands mentioned there.
First of all, Avast Mobile Security detects your app as suspicious and advises uninstalling it immediately. I hope there are no malwares
Btw, about the app, as soon as I gave it root access, my device hot-rebooted and got stuck in a bootloop. Then I switched it off and restarted it, device started optimizing all the apps (just like after fresh rom install). Everytime I open the app my device reboots
Device - Note 2 N7100
ROM - CM12.1

Um that's bad. Well, you are free to examine the source if there's any doubt. It could be because app requests root, or permission to get to know call state changes, so that when a call comes, display can be adjusted to default resolution (this behavior can be configured in settings).
As for the hot-reboot, I wonder what the problem is... Can you uninstall the app and try issuing these commands directly using adb, and see whether reboot happens then?
Code:
wm size WIDTHxHEIGHT
wm overscan LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM
wm density DENSITY
Replace the Upper caps words with required values.

Hey thanks for that! I'll definitely add this. Meanwhile, there are still some hard-coded strings in the app (like button texts etc), which I'll move to strings.xml, and update the project soon. Will it be asking too much to provide translations for those as well?
