Anyone try out the new Live Mesh yet? I just read about a few days back, so don't know how "new" it is, but it's still in beta.
But, after trying it, it is f'n sweet!!!
It's a web server, similar to Live Workspace, but you can upload any file you like. If you don't know what Live Workspace is, it's a web server used to exchange, edit, and upload Office documents.
With Mesh, you can upload anything you would like from your computer, then sync your device with the MOBILE APPLICATION !
You can upload from your device as well, and check them out later on your desktop. Not to mention, any files you load up from your desktop, that are synced to your device automatically get stored to your SD Card, which is kind of a downside, but it beats main memory.
Anyways, I've found it to be pretty cool, since I can quickly sync any file of my choice, from any computer, and have it on my Touch in a few seconds without cables or e-mail. All I have to do is login and upload, and I believe it's similar to Workspace in the sense you can share the "Desktop."
Check it yourself, it's of course FREE!

I have to throw in an update here! I link my Pictures folder, where photos from my camera are stored, I took two quick pics, and after just closing the camera and opening Mesh, they were starting to sync! I forgot to mention it's syncs like Windows Live, you can set manual, auto every xx minutes, or as your local folders are updated.
Needs to be running to sync, at least for the "push" type option, don't plan on trying the auto sync at all. Sits in memory @ 951kb.

It says Mobile Coming Soon. You have it working?

?Its work, already. but you need to have the sqlce 3.1 not the 2.0, or 3.0 or 3.5. specific 3.1, something almost no one have. ..
Yu can download to instal the sql 3.1, BUT change a system library just because one software.. NOOOOO

LOL!

You'll see the link to download the .cab file.

downloaded the "fixed" cab from that blog, still getting a dependency error on install.
Can't wait for this service though. Very cool.

[2011-05-01] Improved HTC-clone Swype Skin

So I got fed up with the look of Swype on top of Sense on my DZ, and the only mod I could find just didn't quite cut it (and didn't quite match the current keylayout either), so I put on my OCD hat, fired up the GIMP, and started aligning pixels.

}
It's a close to pixel-perfect as is possible - keys sizes are aligned exactly to the Swype stock keyboard, but are in every other way identical to HTC_IME.. even down to the jpeg noise on the background radial gradient.
The package is from cypis' mod, but with my own images, and the batch file modified to give you a chance to Ctrl+C out before adb goes blindly uninstalling swype on you even after something fails...
Currently WVGA Portrait QWERTY only, sorry - I'll probably get to doing a landscape version soon, but can't promise any other variants I'm afraid (OTOH I've got the text style in photoshop pretty much passing pixel-for-pixel like HTC_IME, so different character layouts with the same physical key setup should be something of a snap).
Goes without saying that you must be rooted with Swype installed for this to work - I can verify that it works with the latest official beta Swype on the Desire Z/G2, can't say for anything else however. Also, make sure adb.exe AND java.exe are available in the %PATH% of whatever environment the batch file is run from.
PSD sources also attached, do whatever with them long as you put a link back here. They're not the most well-formed of psds I've ever made, sorry; some keyboards have only raster type layers as I switched to Photoshop from the GIMP halfway through. You should be able to grab one of the newer keyboards (the symbolic one I think is pretty sanely-formed) with fully dynamic text and edit it pretty easily - you'll need to install the Droid Sans font though.

any change this will get updated for landscape?

Very nice skin!
I've already searched for such a skin but didnt find it.
How to install it?
When i start the Swype.bat it doesnt work.. My device runs in usb-debugging mode..

This is awesome!! I just themed my CM7 to Sense and installed the Swype beta, so this would be perfect for me! But how about us Linux users - any way we could adapt this to our OS? Or at least a manual way of editing the Swype APK? I took a look at the .bat file, and it looks like it's just replacing the image files and re-signing the apk, correct? Doesn't look like it should be too difficult, but I'm a bit worried I wouldn't do it right

how do i use this? will this work in desire hd?

This is really good, thanks.

yeah might do a landscape update over my holidays (next couple of weeks). Re: linux, the batch file should translate pretty much literally a shell script, as long as adb and java are in your path. 7za can be replaced with zip and unzip (you'll need to double check their syntax though), and %dp0 is just a batchism for $(pwd). Rmdir /S = rm -rf.
Take3r07, what happens when you run the batch file?

cant really remember..
there is a new swype version out now, so i cant test it anymore.
Could you maybe update your skin for the new Swype v.3.5 ? this would be awesome!

Thank you for your good job, I take it !

Where are you supposed to find the IP of the device?

Just for Windows I see but that's cool I'm going to put it on my girls computer to helP her do some stuff more easily. I wish I knew how to break down components that make up .exe's and recompile them for LINUX.that is along the lines of the types of fun stuff I'm striving to learn in my LINUX journey.

I'd like to know what ip you want too... because it definitely didn't want the LAN address of my phone.
The UI is deceptive. You don't need to click the connect to button (and I'm not sure it even works properly). Just click on the Android (like you would when you setup the phone) and it will extend the UI and open up the options. They work and they are pretty useful. I think if the guy wrote up a nice little how to I'd probably kick him a few bucks.

This is actually a phenomenal package, and works great w/ the Bionic. Thank you for posting this, didn't expect this in the dev section and glad I found it.

[APP] NookCalc

NookCalc is a basic, four function calculator designed from the ground up for the Nook Simple Touch. It is optimized for the e-ink display. I wrote this app. The top right page button acts as a dedicated clear button, in addition to the on screen clear button and clear option in the menu.

That looks nice, but 840 kB is way too big an .apk file for what this does.
It should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-20 kB.
You have included android.support.v4 and android.support.v7 when they are not used in the least.
You can delete those from your project.

Nice! It's good to see apps written for the nook.
The calculator looks nice and the e-ink optimization is great,
however, since I don't have anything to calculate just now I just did a bit of stress testing to find that:
a) there seems to be an int overflow on really large nubers, it either crashes or warps to negative.
b) I'm not sure what pressing '=' repeatedly is supposed to do (if anything at all) as it gives weird and inconsistent results.
c) it crashes on division by zero (I HAD to try that )
d) Also, to have a useful division function you really need to use floating point numbers.
It's a nice project, but needs some working on before being a useful calculator

Thanks for the feedback guys, I appreciate it. Renate NST I removed the android.support.v7 and it significantly reduced the size of the apk from 837KB to 60.4KB, a 776.6KB difference. I didn't see android.support.v4 in my project. I didn't add any support libraries myself, Android Studio seems to put the support library in new projects and there doesn't seem to be a way to make a new project without the support library.

Setting SElinux boolean may unlock Amazon tablets

Guys. Everyone I need your undivided attention please. This might be it. This may be the key we have been seeking. However a once wise man said "these aren't the keys you're looking for" A true geek knows the reference. Now serious business.
Ok I did some research. So this Boolean folder is important. In fact this may be the jem we need.
In /system/bin you have two executables getsebool and setsebool. I'm going to explain this as easy as possible.
An*SELinux boolean*is a single string (hopefully sufficiently interpretable) that changes how SELinux reacts. With*getsebool*you can get a list of booleans and their current value. Changing SELinux booleans can be done through*setsebool*(where you add the desired state of the boolean, such as*on*or*off) or*togglesebool*(which flips the current value of a boolean).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Let's play a little game. Unfortunately for this to do anything, you need to be root already i think.
Code:
getsebool -a
This will list any booleans set in the SElinux policy and their values (on or off). On the HD 10, there is one boolean present. At the moment, this device is the only one I have run into that has anything set in the booleans. I own about a dozen different devices (phones and tablets) all of them work and are either rooted or boot loader unlocked (only my Moto E4 isnt). Not a single one of them have anything in the booleans in this folder, except for this HD 10. It is wiped clean on every other device. HD 10 boolean:
Code:
$ su
# getsebool -a
device_unlocked --> off
Here's the fun part:
Code:
# setsebool device_unlocked on
# getsebool device_unlocked
device_unlocked --> on
However there is a problem with changing this value, even being root:
When you do this, the changed value will take effect immediately but only for the duration that the current loaded policy is active. That means, if the system reboots, you loose the changes. Or when you explicitly would reload the SELinux policy, you loose the changes. On the other hand, switching booleans this way is fast and helps you to debug problems.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is a way to change this, running a simple command. However I'm certain the bin file or files have been modified and the commands removed from the policy.
Code:
setsebool -P device_unlocked on
In a normal world, the above command would make the value we set persist upon a reboot. So why alter the policy? That doesn't make sense to me. I know as an OEM you can write said policy, but why go through the massive effort if only to leave this boolean in place? Now given this potential massive discovery, what does this now mean? Did I just do what I think I did? Was this really that easy?
I was not able to find the single log entry of the event on my HD 10. However the Fire 7, even with the custom ROM by @ggow, has the same boolean and value. I did the same steps on that tablet and I was able to get the single log entry. Can we get excited and jump...or cry for joy yet? I am totally lost in this neck of the woods.
