[MOD] Translation API working with Microsoft translator

Hi all. Since a few months ago Google turned off the v1 API translation, changing it with the v2, which requires money to be used. Turning off the v1 API translation service, the HTC's QuickLookup application partially stopped working: in fact, le translation is not even available because the app is based on a Google's v1 API. As QuickLookup, other apps, based on "system\framework\com.google.translate.jar" stopped working, properly.
So I started googling and I found out another translation tool, this time made by Microsoft. So, with the help of Doch88 (an external user of XDA), I modded the com.google.translate.jar in order to get the translation service working again!
This is what do you have to do:
- Go here (if you don't have a Microsoft account, create one): https://datamarket.azure.com/dataset/bing/microsofttranslator
- Subscribe the free plan of Microsoft Translator (the Subscrive button is on the right of the page)
- Go here: https://datamarket.azure.com/developer/applications/
- Create a new application and take note of Client ID and Personal Key (in URI put everything you want... I put Google)
- Create a file called microsoft-translator.txt
- Open the .txt file and write the Client ID on the first line and the Personal Key on the second line. Save and put it in "data\system\"
- Download the modified .jar file from here: http://sbarabau.altervista.org/android/com.google.translate.jar
- Flash it to "system\framework\com.google.translate.jar"
- Reboot the device
Hope this can help someone ^^
P.S: sorry for my bad english. I'm italian and I don't post often in international forums

P.S: hehe, there aren't so much italians here xD. Grazie a te ^^

Up... did anyone try this?

[3.0 & +] Battery Test app (For audio, video, Internet).

My First Android application.
This utility tool is used to measure the battery data and statistics on an Android device with respect to Video & Audio playback and Browsing the internet.
The test runs until the battery reaches 15% charge at which point the test is considered complete and the results are displayed.
Just click the link below to go to Google Play Store to download the app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.battery.utility
I request all the users to review and rate the application, you can send mail to [email protected] in-case if you found any issue or If want to add any new features.
Enjoy
Please Don't Forget to Click THANKS Button.
Jacksparao.

WTF dude. I was just going to post to ask for an app like this and you answered.
Maybe your app will be the king of all apps, but will this be similar to say how review sites like GSMArena or Anandtech, etc. run video/audio/browser looping tests?
I think it'd be nice to be able to run one of these tests.

Thanks

Some thoughts:
- User adjustable webpage loading intervals? I know AnandTech had to tweak this setting from their initial tests to their post iPhone 5 tests. It gave very different results when comparing LTE and 3G battery life.
- I know before starting the webpage loading interval, it shows the brightness for my screen. Say 1/225. Can we adjust that in app perhaps? The slider bar in AOSP Android isn't very useful IMO so I can't set 100/225 easily for example.

I'm really interested in this app, but every time I try to start a test, the app force closes
I have an xperia arc s with android 4.0.4 if this helps

Thanks for the great looking app. Can not wait to test it. Can't download it right now cause of it's size. Why is it 118 MB big?

The app comes with 1080 and 720 p videos for testing

SIZE: 118M

really, a 1 star rating from someone still using a dell streak? lol.
Edit: i can see why he is so worried about app size, that's probably over half of his data partition lol

Hi,
Sound interesting, I look a lot to my battery stat using the stock settings but your app is more then welcome.
By my understanding there is a video with app which make it 118mb, maybe you can just put a link to the video on the playstore page. 118mg is somehow discouraging to download for a battery stat app
Thanks

Will give it a try!

Very good tool
i'm testing it
I've translated the description of the tool on google play to Portuguese Br.
If you want feel free to use it ( was not made on google translator)
This Utility tool is used to measure the battery statistics on an Android device with respect to Video & Audio playback and Browsing the internet.
The test runs until the battery charge reaches 15% at which point the test is considered complete and the results are displayed.
With this app, you can approximate the battery usage of an audio file with a specific bitrate or a video file with a particular resolution and see the battery consumption rate/minute. You can also check the battery consumption rate with 10 standard url's with the browser test.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE FEATURES IN THIS APPLICATION OR HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE COMMENT OR MAIL
Esta ferramenta é utilizada para medir as statisticas de bateria em um dispositivo Android em relação a reprodução de Video & Audio e navegar na internet.
O teste roda até que sua bateria atinja 15% de capacidade e nesse ponto o teste é considerado finalizado e os resultados mostrados.
Com esse aplicativo, você pode aproximar o uso de bateria de um arquivo de áudio com um bitrate especifico ou um arquivo de vídeo com uma resolução em particular e ver o consumo de bateria porcentagem/minuto.
Você também pode verificar o consumo de bateria em 10 url’s com teste via navegador

it would be better if the size can be smaller

Dude! I stopped before downloading Sorry.With all due respect, 118MB is unacceptable from an end user perspective! As others have already mentioned, provide a link to the videos or find out SOME way to address the size issue. It's practically preventing a number of users like me from using your app! :-/

Why not make the video playback tests optional, and require an addon to actually test (around ~100MB, and holds the video files)?
That way people won't complain about the size.

this isnt for mdpi my deire just stuck with progress bar and necer remove(after install) and these sliders are way small with spacing between to i move both sliders at same time and for 118MB i should at least see video
edit: alarm totaly destroy test, ps is test ever finish alone?

This is one of the most genuinely useful apps I've gotten recently
I've been wondering for two years what drains my battery they way it does. Other monitoring apps gave me some information, but it never seemed to be enlightening. And now I know.... it's everything. Boy my battery sucks (power).

What's consumeRate?
Is it mAh?

some games are even more than 1Gig, so 180 MB is ok to me!

True

[Q] Android drawText diacritics

I am helping 2 local school students to develop a graphing app.
They want to use drawText in different (European) languages.to include accented letters
1. Can this be done with standard Android software?
2. Where is there some useful information?
It must be a common requirement, but we have not been able to find any solution

Diacritic problem solved

In case anyone else hits the problem - here's the cause and the solution:
Ensure that files containing text are created explicitly with UTF-8 encoding. We used save-as with word pad, and the accents appeared as intended.
We did not even realise that this was an option, or that our Android code would not make the conversion automatically.
Let us know if there is a better solution, since we have already inadvertently created new Ansi data files and our original problem recurred.
And just so that you know, what we have created is Entwickelt von Studenten für Studenten und ihre Lehrer, or, if you prefer, Conçu par les étudiants pour les étudiants et leurs professeurs
Be amazed at those accents

So I just recieved the update and it is actually alpha and not beta. It has a few bugs. Some places in the system got a new design including the setting background texture and the Gallery which I don't like the new Gallery design.

Hey!
This is cool, thanks. Did you manage to find any new features you can post screenshots of?
By the way, what IMEI did you use for the Beta registration? I used the IMEI fro primary SIM, but I still do not have the alpha update appearing. I know they rollout in batches.
Thanks!

Only minor changes in some official apps designs such as messages and contacts apps. They removed theme colors [ Probably they will bring it back with the final release as they did that before ]
But what so obvious is that this alpha update is smoother than the last stable update. It is polished unlike the previous stable update.

The revision 7.2 is out in beta.

Is there anyway I could get the beta now? I can't find the recruiting page for R1, I only see the Pro 3 now

It's too late by now. You need to wait for 1-3 months to get the official stable update as they stated they will release it in early 2020 for R1. Currently they are focusing on the new product Smartisan Nut Pro 3. ( Small company, few staff )

Yo tengo ahora los dos modelos (R1 y PRO 3) Me gusta mas el diseño de galeria y otras cosas del R1. Aunque Pro 3 tiene Android 9 y R1 solo Android 8
Espero que salga pronto la OTA. para mi R1. El GRAN PROBLEMA DE SMARTISAN son las NOTIFICACIONES que no aparecen en el LOCK SCREEN y en whatsapp tampoco aparecen algunas veces. Por lo demas es el movil perfecto.

Do you know how to fix the smartisan to get notifications on lock screen and fix whatsapp notifications (someimes doesn´t work???

I would like to know too, as if someone calls me through WhatsApp it doesn't ring. I only get missed calls messages when I've gone back into the app. Lastly, very disappointed to see that version 7 of the OS is still Android 8. Have they updated the security patches??

Smartisan does not upgrade Android version but it does update the security patch. Both R1 and Pro 3 are currently on December patch. ( you can check that using DevCheck app )
As for notifications, here is my list of tips and I hope it helps:
1- Go to Notification Center in settings and make sure everything is ON.
2- Go to the following apps and give them all the permissions:
Google Account Manager
Google Calander Sync
Google Contacts Sync
Google Play Services
Google Play Store
Google Services Framework
Gmail
WhatsApp and any app you need to recieve its notifications.
3- Go to Network Regulator in Phone Manager ---> Network Management. Tap the gear icon at the top right corner, and make it [ Never ] for the following apps:
Google Account Manager
Google Calander Sync
Google Contacts Sync
Google Play Services
Google Play Store
Google Services Framework
Gmail
WhatsApp and any app you need to recieve its notifications.
4- Pin the apps you want to receive their notifications in the background ( I suppose you know how to do it )
5- After every reboot, open the apps you want to receive their notifications once.
