Qualcomm EcoPix technology - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I wanted to ask this in a more suitable thread but I dont have permissions.
I would highly appreciate if you can help me on this matter.
I have a few questions about EcoPix in general, and most specifically about CABL (Content Adaptive BackLight)
* I would like to turn EcoPix/CABL on/off - is there a way to do it ?
* Is there a device in the market that already has EcoPix/CABL ?
* Is there an SDK that I can use to change EcoPix settings? (for app developers and/or for android framework developers)
* Is the adaptive contrast mechanism always on ? is it only in video (fullscreen only?)
* Does this mechanism actually save power? If so how much ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jeff.

IMPORTANT: Full featured AV Solution for PDA ?

What do you think about a full featured AV Solution for Pocket PC's ?
I ask that question to build up different installation packages.
There are many things which have to been considered, for instance that a real time protection would use a lot of battery or that a huge database would use a lot of memory.
So please provide me with your input and thoughts, wishes and requirements. The result will be a free solution with a outstanding detection rate. ( It's already under development and works so far for all platforms including Palm, Windows Mobile 2002, 2003 etc )
Some features (already under development)
* Pocket Outlook Attachments Scanning (in and outgoing)
* Dialer and Worm/Trojan Heuristic especially for PDA's
* Beam-Realtime Scan ( if you get or send new files )
* In-Craddle-Realtime Scan ( cause battery is there no problem )
* PIE Realtime Scan for downloading files
* On-Demand Scan for the whole PDA (including all Storage Cards)
* On-Demand Scan for the Storage Cards
* Autoinstall Option via Beam on other Devices
* Unpacking Engine for Windows 32 Malware ( CAB, ZIP, RAR, UPX, ASPack, FSG, ASProtect, Petite, Neolight, PECompact etc.)
* Polymorph Engine for Windows 32 Malware
* Incremental Updates downloadable within GPRS or via ActiveSync
* Logfile Support
* WLAN scanning on shares in a network environment
* Scan Sheduler
* Today Screen Plugin with infos
Now it's up to you 8)
Cheers,
Scorpion
Sounds good ... how much and when?
How much ? - its free - its not even limited
When ? - i think at the end of this month
Right now i am developing the interface, all other things are almost ready.
Should i post some screenshots from time to time during development ?
Cheers,
Scorpion

Sounds great. Yes to screen shots.
Thanks.

But i think it would make sense if it checks at least for the win32 things.
I dont know how many people using the XDA II for mobile emails ( at least i do ) and therfore i think it would be a good idea if it is be able to scan and to detect also Win32 Worms etc. in the attachments after marking for download.
Maybe i could split that into a basic install ( only for PDA ) and a extended database for all win32 malware. The extended database will be around 3 or 4 MB; that is not that much. Overall i calculated around 6 MB for all features.
Cheers,
Scorpion
sounds excellent, can't wait to see more
Right now reorganizing the interface with tabulators, but here is the splashscreen that you can see atleast something 8)
eeugh. uuuuugly splash

What do we have for a common place to monitor who is working on what? Do you have a specific task list that shows what needs doing(what drivers need ported, etc)?

Currently, the biggest tasks are getting the board files rewritten to get this thing to boot. Then we'll be at about the same place:
Not working(from GSM):
Code:
touchscreen (reason unknown)
leds (microp driver, included but needs updating)
accelerometer (bma150 driver, included but needs updating)
sound (acoustic driver seems to work though)
all audio jack stuff (depends on microp driver)
sdcard (config probably)
But I can't confirm any of that until we fix these two board files: http://github.com/Decad3nce/cm-kernel/commit/68a6c94fad4456fc90a215e1a1ff33a8f3260809
http://github.com/Decad3nce/cm-kernel/commit/b41eb06a93c2ced9929fe93d24913f685ecec5a4
and we'll need to fix the usb product id/functions in board-heroc.c, specifically in the function
Code:
static struct msm_hsusb_product heroc_usb_products[] = {
So, currently, it's just me getting these board files to work D:
That means get off your ass s0be
Well, I'll admit, I've had a bit of a deathspank addiction these past weeks. Tonight, I should complete Thongs of Virtue. I'll fork your tree before I bail and start working on small incremental changes. We need a better way to coordinate this though.

We could/should set up a gerrit code review; but someone else would have to set that up. No experience :S
http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/
I know nothing about coding, ill be the first to admit that.. but if you have needs for testing/reporting I'd be happy to help. I have plenty of free time, and I'm pretty much constantly lurking around xda. so let me know. if you're looking for someone more experienced that's completely understandable. I'd just like to give something back to the community around here. seeing as how I've been helped so much. I hope this isn't what you meant when talking about unneeded clutter, if so, my apologies!

Sweet. I'm looking at kanging some bt code from the hero-rfkill for heroc-rfkill. I should have that up too. BT drivers seem to be nearly identical.
On another note, it would be nice to list all the drivers that heroc uses; I can already tell that hero gsm uses a different camera sensor. MT9T013 vs Samsung s5k3e2fx.

done.
Just pushed one more small commit, now my lunch break is over, no coding till tonight.
You can probably backport those changes to .29 and test them that way, btw.
I've got the gerrit stuff set up on my personal computer. I'm looking through my schools server usage policies to see if I can host it here. I'm hoping they will classify it as educational or community service related. Will post back with updates.

[Request/Bounty] custom pc controller app for android

Hi.
I was just thinking (I'm a big fan of custom/programmable multi-key controllers) that it would be a great idea to be able to use my Samsung Tab as a controller (programmable) for pc tasks.
Once upon a (better) time, Saitek made a marvellous device called the P8000 (or PCDash2 in the US) [ http://www.neoseeker.com/Hardware/Products/Saitak_P8000/ ] and more recently (but not quite) there is the Ergodex DX1 system [ http://www.ergodex.com/mainpage.htm ].
Would it be possible/feasible to develop an application for Android that could function as the P8000 does?
I'd be okay for a static-keymap (only able to customize displayed image), only send joybutton1..joybuttonX signals to pc via USB, no need to be able to program function on the device itself. As long as it uses some form of standard signals, AutoHotkey can handle the pc-side of things. But programmable macros on-device would of course be better for people not familiar with AHK (majority, I'd say). And custom keymap would of course be top-notch, but might be stretching it.
Anyone else interested in this, and more specifically, any developers want to make something out of this?
I'll put my money (whatever small amount there is left of that) where my mouth is, and start:
* Static-keymap (4x5 [or preferably 6x7 on a tablet] "buttons"), standard JoyButton-signals, ability to customize displayed image. [15€]
* Ability to customize "button" grid (4x4 - 10x10 or so? for larger tablets?) [+5€]
* Ability to customize the button "grid" arbitrarily without being restricted by default x times y grid. (= customize buttons per-pixel. via xml?) [+10€]
* On-device selection of button functions (send keypress/joybutton/short macro) [+10€]
* customizable keymap (ability to change the button layout and number of buttons) [+15€]
* add button types (slider, "knob") [+10€]
* usable via bluetooth [+5€]
Please, if you're interested add your ideas (but stay on topic, this is supposed to be a customizable/programmable controller, not an elephant breeding machine or anything else.) But do add your own ideas (and any amount of money you'd be willing to pay.)
Devs, if you need more info on what I'm talking about, don't hesitate to contact.
tl;dr: I love my P8000 but I want a modern version of it, preferably in the form of an Android app that I can use on my 7" Galaxy Tab (or any Tablet/Note).
The P8000 is STILL the only viable controller on the market (well, Ergodex kind-of, but can't customize the "displayed image", only the layout) for this kind of work, and it hasn't been sold for years.
Also, with the current availability of touch screen devices, I'm dumbfounded that there ISN'T an application for this already (or a dozen). It should be very easy to do. (at least if Android can easily send button events to the host computer.)
I think I'm allowed a bump after a year. I'm still very interested if someone can code an (or point me towards an existing) application like this.
There's DroidPad, but it currently doesn't support x64 and doesn't seem to incorporate any image display feature at all, just the b&w layout.
Sorry for the new bump, but I think this is worth it.
Because I found a program almost exactly like I want, unfortunately it is for iOS.
Look here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/custom-keypad/id433683617?mt=8
That's what I mostly mean. Add an ability to lay-over an image and were there.

Does this device exist? Barebones Android PANEL?

Hi:
I'm not sure how to ask this question but here goes. We're looking at an installation type where the client (museum, art gallery, restaurant, office space) wants to mount an android screen as a PANEL for users to interact with, but without all the bells and whistles that make up a self-contained mobile tablet. Specifically, it's just in priority order:
* a 10" or larger screen
* good enough processor and internal memory to run stock Android and play video
* power in (preferably over USB)
* sound out (headphone jack)
* a ruggedized casing
* wi-fi
It does NOT have:
* external buttons (user has no control over hardware)
* internal battery (power over USB only)
* 3g telephony
* bluetooth
* GPS
* gyroscope
Yeah, it's barebones, but it's not a consumer device, it's just a Panel. It seems like such a thing could be made more cheaply than a full tablet -- it lacks a lot of the components and what it does have doesn't have to be consumer grade cutting edge.
Does such a device already exist? Any pointers to examples? Is this a custom hardware situation? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
hmm i don't know of this kind of tablet but you can check out Alibaba, a vendor for tons of cheap chinese stuff inkl. Tablets
http://www.alibaba.com/Tablet-PC_pid100005062
if they don't have it and you need a LOT of these displays, maybe chinaforge can produce it for you
http://www.chinaforge.com/
I dont a device like that could even function correctly. But i think they have panels out there without android.

Which camera and apps for surveillance..

Hi, guys!
I'd like to look and hear the environment around my old father that is far some hundreds kilometers from me.
I don't know anything about surveillance but for me it would be enough to know some apps or phone that can do that.
It should better if you can hide the app, but
that's not essential.
Can you help me?

Yes. Thanks. I already use an ip wifi camera(Foscam FI8918W) but I'm looking for an hidden one compatible as others like Foscam, etc.
What do you mean about tasker.

Hello
Yes with Tasker it possible to take picture from the background and record microphone i think is not possible to do real time but it possible that like this :
Tasker check http x minutes when the content of http is "record" you record microphone and when http content is "stop_record" it will stop the record and send to you via http.
Or you can send use IP Webcam and hide from status bare but it's very battery suck and heat smartphone.
It's very hard for me to do something like the tasker you said me.
Now I have another P2P camera and I'd like to use with Tinycam app for Android.
In this way I can manage the recording from the cam to my Ftp server.
This last cam has an Uid too long (24 characters) and I can't configure it in a right way. Furthermore if you try the automatic configuration the camera is recognised as an Onvif one and the app streams the video but the audio doesn't work.
In short, we are on the high seas!

Yes, this is a 2016 thread, but here goes:
I have used Alfred Home Security Camera apk, successfully in the past (maybe 2+ yrs ago). One Samsung S3 is set up as the camera, the 2nd Samsung S3 is set up as the viewer.
But now it doesn't run. I've tried a dozen or more versions, but same problems. Prompts say things like: Alfred won't run with Framework, or problem with Google Play, etc.
Alternatively I downloaded many similar home security camera apk's, such as Warden Cam, At Home, i-Security, Video Monitor etc.
No luck. None will work. Most recently the error prompt said: Will not work with rooted device!
So damn frustrating.
Anybody else with custom ROM have these problems?
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
BTW I am totally free of Google; no Google Play Store, no Google Pay, no Google Framework, no Gapps, no Google spyware, no Google bloatware, no Google tracking etc.
I download all my apps as APK's which are readily available on the Net ( Google them . . . just kidding! ).
My older Samsung S3 i747 is a 'd2att' originally locked to Rogers, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Then switched over to MTS (Manitoba Telephone System). Now running on Bell Canada. My replacement is also a Samsung S3 T999, originally running T-Mobile in Arizona, now running on Bell Canada.

Тhat is great that modern technologies gives such an opportunity to watch how your relative lives
Hello. I understand what it's like to have an old relative in need of care and attention. And I know what it's like to know that you can't give it to him. I couldn't put my father in a nursing home, so I installed an ajax security system with security cameras at home. I liked this system precisely because it has the ability to monitor images from cameras through a mobile app for iPhone. This is very convenient to watch your family person who is not always able to cope with something by himself.
