[APP][NO-ROOT] Super Touch - Android Apps and Games

Hey guys,
I know that many of you guys have phones with killer hardware but your phones don't perform so well. Well now, a developer on play store has made an incredible app that can make your phone faster.
This is not at all like stupid apps like clean master that do nothing to speed up your phone. This app uses the gpu to make your phone run faster without any extra battery use.
I did not make this app. I am helping the developer get ore users and I am helping him because it really works very well for me. If you don't believe me, try it out yourself. It is free to download and use.

I don't know...
From a tech perspective I'm curious to know how this works on a non-rooted deivce. The only thing I can think of is that the app is sending touch events to the phone and keeping the cpu and gpu in the higher clock states. If that is the case then if would drain the users's battery pretty quickly especially on older devices.
Other than that I cannot think of a way that this works. Coupled with the fact that the reviews seem pretty shady and this is the second post on xda that I've seem about this I'm gonna call bs on this one.
Unless you show proof otherwise, this is just another one of those 'Android Optimization' apps that ask for way to many permissions. Seriously, external storage access? Phone IMEI permission? Really?? Why does this app need those permissions?

This is the second post I've seen of this app. It seems more like the placebo effect than anything else. Also, Google Play Store reviews seem to be fake or purchased.

After optimization, sliding is very smooth.

Seems to be many "helping" this dev by posting his app on XDA. But there is no need for multiple threads on the same app.

[REQ] Quick Exit Active App

Hello!
Have you ever seen an app which places an icon in taskbar which allow to kill currently active app by click on it. I have seen only one app with success this requirement - "SmartBar", but it drains my battery and have too much unnesesary features.
I will be perfect if someone can develop such application of tells an existing one. I think it'll be rather useful for users.
Here here!!!
I agree, conclude and stuffz.
We are in serious need of this. What do people do on Cynagen mod roms? Surely hacking community has been around long enough to work out waht to do when the x doesnt x - just like htc's lol
As usual, there's no need to force close apps.

[Dev]Honeycomb on the Desire HD [Video & DL]

BazookaAce kindly made a thread at the general section to inform us about Honeycomb for the DHD, so I thought I'd make one in the development section to give it some spotlight, BazookaAce's thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958391
Here's the good stuff:
Video of Honeycomb running:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5-yO4FOAvI
Download link:
http://t3hh4xx0r.com/?p=1353
I did not develop this. The purpose of this thread is to inform our developers here about it.
Good luck.
Edit: My findings:
No wi-fi, no telephone, no brightness control, no sd-card detection, stuff on the homescreen (launcher) are not organized. And it's slow since there is zero ui acceleration.
Of course, performing a Nandroid backup is highly recommended.
This is only a plaything & it's not good enough for day to day use.
Devs work your magic
Great! Hope it will be stable soon!
Hmm. I've always thought that it was common courtesy to ask before doing. Not that I'd say no - just saying.
Here's a few tips:
Landscape via opening the camera app and then closing it.
Spare Parts -> Font Size -> Extremely Large Font. That way you can read without straining your eyes.
Also, if you allow your screen to turn off after the bootup, it will turn down brightness for each time it turns off. It won't turn it up. Weird little bugger.
Tried. Working. Buggy. Didn't expect much more though .
Wow looks like honeycomb is not only for tablets. In phone too.
This is just awesome news. U will start working in it soon.

If everyone will post just COOL GREAT WOW ... in few minutes there would be 10 sites about nothing and real developers couldn`t find here anything to make it better in so many useless post.
its developed for tablets only and UI is too small for phones,its no use for it on 4 inch display !!
Guys how long do you think, we need to make it stable and usefull for the day?
And from who is that video and who is the developer of it?
I don't say awesome, i say quietly brilliant

you've seen the video right?!!?!
As you can see in the video it's quite useable concerning the size.
But this ROM is build from the API-Preview SDK, so nor its finished nor it has any kind of source code behind.
I think as soon as google releases the source code we will see a proper Honeycomb version for our DHDs.
so, usb debugging is working and if you change the density to somthing higher you get a pulldownmenu and a forceclosing launcher but there are sings for a phone interface.

Multitasking: how bad is it?

Hi folks
I'm still on the edge between an iPhone and a HOX. Could someone please discuss the state of the multitasking issues on the AT&T HOX and summary of fixes?
Specifically my question is this: there are some services that always need to be running to get notifications, like free texting apps or skype. Some services upload photos in the background, like Dropbox. Is it true that these services get killed by the multitasking as well on stock?
I've heard that Dropbox does get killed. I've never heard anything about skype and similar apps that need to sit in the background listening, so I imagine they are working fine on stock Sense?

When I was on Sense roms with stock multitasking, I never had issues with long-running background services being killed. It was only things like the browser being killed and having to reload and other apps that have their front end killed.
Can't really comment on the services you mentioned, but just some general observations about multi-task:
Some people have complained that during games, if you do something else, like say someone sends you an SMS and you respond, that when you go back to the game, your progress will not have been saved. I don't have time for games these days. So I can't personally comment on that.
Really, it depends on how you use your phone. For some people, the multi-tasking behavior is a deal breaker. For me, I'm fine with it. I mostly only notice it when leaving the browser. It will almost always have to reload the webpage you were looking at.
Have you actually compared the iPhone and the One X in person? There really is no comparison between the two. The huge gorgeous screen of the One X makes the iPhone look like a toy.
You're worried about multitasking but you're willing to go iPhone? Lol hox will be fine
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Well the iPhone is going to get a bigger screen. The PPI and brightness are almost the same between iPhone and HOX.
And iphone doesn't kill your game progress and clear your text entry fields when you switch apps. And it doesn't silently kill Dropbox while it's uploading (it does kill it, but gives Dropbox a chance to notify of that first).
The jailbreak tweaks for iPhone are for my purposes completely on par with android.
My only reasons for considering switching is that the iPhone is going to get harder and harder to jailbreak (I'm expecting a 6 month wait this time). plus lose google maps which is a huge debacle.
I'm open to HOX but would need a fix to the multitasking issues.

That's just a rumor, and its been the same (incorrect) rumor for the last 1-2 iPhone versions, at least.
My bet is on the screen size of the iPhone is not changing any time soon. If they make the screen much larger, and keep the resolution the same, it will look like crap. If they change the screen resolution, they fragment the iOS that they have keep pretty much unified for 5 years. People keep talking about the "iPad Mini" (something around a 7" iPad), but my hunch is that is not going to happen either, for the same reasons of not fragmenting iOS. But those are just my personal gut feelings.
And seriously, if you haven't held a One X in person, do it. The screen size is gigantic compared to the iPhone. You have to see it to believe it. My previous phone was a Desire Z, which had a form factor not much different from the iPhone. When I go back to it (pulled some files off it), I can't believe I ever used a phone with a screen that small. Similar feelings when I pick up my wife's iPhone.

There has been some fixes to multi-tasking, both available as a stand-alone mod, and on custom ROMs. So check out Development, and read more on it if nobody chimes in about those here. As I mentioned, I've been fine with multitasking. So I haven't tried any of the mods.
Also, the Asia 2.23 firmware makes changes to both the multitasking (how aggressively idle processes are killed) and free memory at boot (how much memory Sense takes). A new AT&T firmware (2.20) is just now rolling out OTA as we speak, and likely has the same tweaks. So that in itself might fix what you want. But like I said, I don't game these days, so I can't say.

I don't think it's going to be 4.7" big. That's quite a shoe to fill. PPI is less of an issue for both the phones. Unless you have amazing vision or whip out a magnifying glass, you can't even see individual pixels. A higher PPI is usually a better thing, but beyond a certain point, it becomes indistinguishable.

At least with an HTC One X you can control how the multitasking behaves. However, I do want to address two issues: 1) the clearing of the text boxes has more to do with the apps you're using than the multitasking itself and 2) unlike the HTC One X, apps like Dropbox can't just linger in the background and upload new images as they're taken. I ran into that limitation quite a bit back when I still had my iPhone.

I know this may sound like blasphemy in this community, but I wouldn't ever recommend buying a phone simply based on what you can do after you root/jailbreak. Usually you can reasonably expect a method for root/jailbreak to come alone, but you can never guarantee it. Always pick a device based on how it suits your needs and desires without any extensive modifications.
All of this being said, even with multitasking being as it is on the HTC One X, I'd still recommend it over an iPhone. As previous users have mentioned, the effect of the stock multitasking setting is only visible on things like web browsers and some games. If you go under the system settings and modify its behavior, you'll probably achieve the desired effect. If you don't feel like tweaking system settings, you can always install an app like SMS Popup which lets you quick-rely to messages without ever leaving your current task.
One thing I do pride Android on is the ability to have background tasks for applications. With my iPhone I would find that (aside from default apps like Mail and Messages) certain apps wouldn't provide notifications when they should have. For example: if I hadn't launched Words with Friends since a reboot, I'd never get notifications from it. Same thing with uploading images from Dropbox.
The other thing that persuaded me to switch to an Android device was the ability to customize and personalize out of the box. On an iPhone, the most you can do is change backgrounds/sounds/icon arrangement. On an Android device you have full control over your home screen. You can manipulate icons arbitrarily (putting gaps between them, skipping pages, remove icons without uninstalling the app, etc), you can install widgets to quickly access information/settings/apps at a glance, live wallpapers, and even make shortcuts (such as a one-click "Directions to get Home" and "Sound Settings"). Heck, you can even install custom keyboards.
All-in-all it took me about a week to get used to how Android does things, but whenever I play with my old iPhone (my girlfriend uses it now), things just don't feel quite right. The best way to describe it is that on my HTC One X, I get to make the rules. I get to decide how things look and feel and how the system responds to my actions. Playing with my iPhone I feel like I'm not making any of my own rules. Sure, I can change some settings, but compared to Android it feels like a thin veil over how Apple things I should use my device.
Get everything you want now, or wait for a possibility.
Btw multitasking never kills any of those things mentioned. Drop box never stops during uploads.
Android> iOS

Thanks for the replies. I have spent about an hour playing with HOX in store and tons of time researching whether it can suit my needs.
Franklly it has been hard to track down android equivalents of everything I can do on jail broken iOS. For reading full emails without unlocking the device it looks like a combination of widget locker and a few widgets can do it, but it just feels a bit hacked together and not as polished as Lockinfo on iOS, which is a one-stop solution. And there doesn't quite appear to be any replacement for Activator, which is a unified gesture framework where you can do things like turn on the flashlight by pushing both volume buttons at the same time and bring up the previous app with a slide on the status bar. Now I know if I look hard enough something similar for android will turn up but will it be as well supported as these iOS tweaks with hundreds of thousands of users? not so sure.
In the I think the iPhone is under appreciated here in terms of how professional the jailbreak community is and how it can easily match android for power and tweak ability. The main issue is that apple is hiring the jailbreak developers and jail breaking itself will be incredibly hard as time progresses because it relies on patching binaries and finding vulnerabilities.
The multitasking seems to be improved in the 4.0.4 update.

Android as a whole is much better than ios. I owned four, yes four iterations of the iPhone and jail broke them all. I have also owned 2 android devices. Take it from someone who has owned and rooted/jail broke both. Android is better.

Some of the people here may say its not that bad, but trust me dude compared to other android phones its pretty damn bad, bad enough for me to get rid of the phone. Ie, if you are listening to music and browsing. Go change the song and come back to be greeted by the web browser reloading the WHOLE PAGE over again.
Really go play with one in the store before you make your decision id say, as a poster before me mentioned one of the gleaming features of android is its ability to multitask amazingly, if thats absent then its terrible. Imo the multi tasking on the hox is below even that of the iphone. Just really play with it before you make a decision, with that said i wouldnt necessarily say the hox is a worser phone than the iphone even, it isnt. Its a great phone and is still imo better than the 4s today.
I REALLLLY do miss my hox sometimes though, the amazing build quality. and the display really owns anything else on the market right now.

Camera2 API Support?

Can anyone confirm this?
The phone seems to have a full manual or "Pro" mode so I was wondering if it also supports Camera2 API and GCam?

Why don't you test it yourself. Download Cam2 API tester app from Play Store and share the result here.

As a reluctant owner of this particular phone, I can say with utter certainty that api2 is enabled, but no mod I've tried has installed successfully.

That's good to hear.
I know it's a bit unrelated to the topic at hand but... would you recommend this phone to a casual user like me who just wants to use it for multimedia (YouTube, VLC etc.), What'sApp, Reddit, Twitter, snapping some photos (mostly in broad daylight) and maybe some lightweight 2D games here and there (Angry Birds etc.)?
I don't care much about app loading times, as long as the UI is smooth and stutter-free.

The phone isn't a bad one per say, with light use you can probably get quite a bit out of it. Especially after rooting becomes available and you can disable some of the bloat (yeah, never thought I'd say Android One and Bloatware in reference to the same device). It can run games with a decent performance and, of course the battery is what you'd expect from a 5000mah battery in a low spec phone. Battery backup for the win.

Question CoverScreen OS vs Samsprung

Have anyone used CoverScreen OS or Samsprung in Z Flip 3? Which one do you think is better and which one is safer?
Edit : I decided to close the poll so that this thread will not be biased to one side. Let's just share the features and differences between both products and let anyone decide their own choice.

Interesting question
It's difficult to answer because they are both under development and not finished apps
I am trying both of them and both craches from time to time, but as mentioned, beta versions
Personally I prefer Samsprung, there are news every day (several times usually) and I think it's really great, and well done job
Cover OS is way out of proportions regarding price, too expensive for a none working app, and also if it's working
At any time I would go for Samsprung
Just my opinion
Both developers have done a great job! thanks to them!
I'd also go with Samsprung. Way better support, updates, more features ect. The developer is also very responsive.
Cover Os has just entered Beta status and has a price tag that is obnoxious. Yes, i understand lots or blood, tears and work has gone into it, but as it still is, half baked software, the price is out of this world. We have to pay for something that we are testing, no thanks.
i'm totally fine paying when things are up and running as should, and i encourage both developers to put a price for their work. But as of now, no.
Of course Samsprung...
Do a poll, it'll answer you...
A few weeks ago I would have said CoveScreen OS, but the SamSpring suddenly took lead and I now find it superior.
The navbar, the customizable app launcher, keyboard(!), no features behind paywall, compatibility with stock widgets, super quick and responsive developer. It's an easy choice for me.
It's all wrong, trying to compare 2 apps trying to do different things - they are both in beta and developing very fast.
We are very lucky to have 2 very talented developers making that [ex-factory useless screen] into something geniunely useful.
Try each one - for a couple of days, not for 5 minutes. Then you have to reach your own conclusion.
And don't consider pricing for the moment, only once it/they are out of beta.
Please don't make a poll, that could impact development of one of the apps.

I agree with you 100% it's not fair on anyone to choose one or the other, there was a time when the moderators would have taken down a post such as this.
In my opinion this is a valid question.
Should you pay blindly for something that might not function correctly (beta) and you cannot test fully to see if it fills your needs.
or test something that is fully free and you can test all features and if they fills your needs.
But of course, test both. one you can test fully, the other you can.

IMO since both are in development it's too early to even make a comparison. Both apps are moving very fast, so stability and functionality are not comparable. They are both moving targets at the moment
Maybe after both of their general availability, since then they are notionally stable.
If you're commenting about the subscription policy of one of them, I have tested its free version and haven't felt constrained. And there is no way that those values would fly in the Google Play universe, so I really doubt they are definitive values (time will tell, just my thoughts).
But still, once they are released and updates are incremental, why not run a poll.
Both applications interest me. I have only tried Coverscreen OS as I use Samsung Health persistently. I'm following both threads at present. Kudos to both developers

Thank you for this! Much appreciated.
I'm brand new to this phone and kinda not impressed with it (so far)..I'm a serious gadget nerd, so the flip/fold tech played too big a part in my decision to get it..I'd watched a samsprung video before I'd bought it so did expect a lot more use of the front screen than I get at the minute...like I said I am new to it so hoping to like it more the more I get to do with it but a quick question about samsprung, can it be used on android 12 or no? I updated the phone soon as I got it, then started seeing that it can't be used with A12!? Is there a way/work around?

SamSprung TooUI - Cover Screen Home (FREE) [ZF3]
Welcome to the original "Z Flip 3 Launcher" A complete home experience on the cover screen. Compatible with all current "Flip" devices. TooUI adds cover screen support for apps, full notifications, widgets, quick toggles, voice launch, custom...

Both are pretty cool and somehow useful. Personally I don't use them because I don't need them and everything I'd like to have is just some more widget on the stock cover screen. However we're pretty luck to have those two developers here.
CoverScreen OS ask for way too many permissions, some really strange, i was not to ever able to run it, so yes for Samsprung
For me, the UI/UX of CoverScreen OS is better.
