[REQ] f(X)Tec Pro1-x <xda-badge?> - Off-topic

Do I get one custom xda device profile badge, because of it being an official xda sponsored device? LoL! Joking of course!
This thing does remind me of the Unihertz Titan OG, and how quirky that clunky Passport Personification, or the HTC Touch Pro2 when it got to being flashworthy with all diverted kinds of Rom's and OS'es.
I got it specifically for flashing, but it's so beta-type is funny and admirable in a kinda lovely halfhearted sense of how crazy it acts.
Fortunately, I didn't spend full price on it, lucked out and got one off eBay for $400.
Much more worth this price, cause of the following laughable quirks;
1. If you're powered off and plug in a charger, it powers right up.
2. Touchscreen is sensitive and seems to have ghost touches, not cause of a broken screen but like trying to long press to get the context menu to popup in the browser and so on etc.
3. Fingerprint scanner in the completely wrong place, can't tell you how many times Iberia accidentally hit and not meant to.
4. The same could go for camera shutter button.
5. Tremendously slow speeds for 4g/LTE.
So far, this is all I've noticed on the first half a day's use.
Attempting to transition from Unihertz Titan Pocket and UTP is holding on to my heart still. But again, f(X)Tec Pro1-x IMO and usage is a modding flasher phone.
So what all flavors do we have and is it in these forums or f(x)tec's, I'm curious about SailfishOS and a few others.

I believe you are the first guy who has hands on the fxtec phone and openly admitted using it.
Here you go. You deserve this badge.

I've really been considering SailfishOS, again as I mentioned, I mainly got this for flashing, hopefully Linux Mobile too, so it's really just an early adaptation device, which is why I compared it to the days of Windows Mobile and Android just getting really popular on WinMo devices such as the LG Fathom, HTC Touch Pro2, HTC HD2 and MAGLDR / Android2SD. Especially compared to the first two for PKB devices with the versatility to flash multiple OS'es to it.

One other thing, I wouldn't really call it a bug, but this dang pesky sim tray.
7. That darn notch in the dim tray is a real PAIN! LMAO

Read the article.
What do you think about it? Is this is a really revolution?
I think this phone looks very nice with a stunning UI. The technical specs are nothing special, but this could be quite a hit i think.
thats a savage ass phone, you kno what would be sick tho if you could change the color of all the LED's on it two from blue to like purple or something. It's linux it should be fully customizable like that
I love the look of this phone. Very appealing. I will be interested in seeing more about it.
This would be the perfect MP3 Player. But for a smartphone, I do not know if it will offer the extreme flexibility of any of the four TRUE smart phones: Symbian S60, Windows Mobile, Android.
Does this phone have a file system, etc? Also, does Palm Pre and Palm Pixi have a file system and file manager too?
But I've seen this phone before, and I was excited, and still am.
I just don't expect it to be smart-centric. I expect it to be more like a Zune HD experience with some "quasi-smart" features like on the iPhone.
Original Poster, I think you should compile links on the first post and make this the official ELSE anticipation and discussion thread.
More Links http://else.bz/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amk7XzgMcTs&feature=related
But there are a few things I would like to know more about this phone.
*Judging by the Flash Videos, the keyboard on the phone sucks (but there are some pretty cool features). But the reason why it sucks is mainly due to the layout and size of the keys both in portrait and qwerty.
*I haven't seen any file manager. Will it be on this phone, and how complex is it?
*Speaker quality?

He was talking about the buttons being on the right side of the phone. Easier for us left-handers to use. I don't think you can change hardware location in settings
Use it upside down maybe!! too bad for you!! Does look interesting, but not entirely better than tab bars and such.. it does have that added sliding left feature and I guess it being capacative would not require much tension from the thumb. I am always up for new technology to push the limits.

Wow, maybe the device will not only have rotate orientation buy also flip orientation. That would be awesome!

			
				
It's all going to come down to how they market this phone. It looks great and definitely has appeal to those of us with a technical background and who love customization. But what carrier will they market it to? Can it be customized to settings that people find interesting such as led colors, programs, etc? and the biggest one: WHO will they allow to carry the operating system. Getting google to back this would be great, getting Nokia to make a phone able to support this would be great, but which one will have the advertising budget to challenge Apple and the like to the duel that will occur when this and the next generation of iphones is released? A small company like Access is going to have a really hard time trying to compete with Motorola, Nokia, Google, Samsung and Apple especially.
I'm sorry for reviving a dead thread, but does anybody know the name of this phone and the maker? I think the phone failed to launch and the maker went out of business and that's making it hard for me to find any information on this. A name should help, thanks.
The Linux based smartphone have actually been out for awhile. I think (Don't hold me to word on this) there is one called tuxphone. But I'm not sure if that's Linux based when I think back on it...

[Game] Touch Drummer - Demo

Hey everyone. I posted a while back about my previous app, "Goonchie Blunch" but nobody really commented. It got almost 2,000 downloads. I redesigned it all with new graphics and sounds. It's really cool now! It's a new app, so I renamed it "Touch Drummer - Demo". I'd love it if some of you could get it and let me know what you think! It should be under Games > Just In, relatively close to the top.
If you don't have Market here is the .apk
Version 1.21
http://www.mediafire.com/?nmjmmjndmix
Recent updates added new animated menus, "techno" sounds, support for all screen sizes, and runs on Cupcake 1.5 too now. I'm getting a lot of feedback now, since there have been almost 5,000 downloads of "Touch Drummer", and I think I'm gonna try to add some really cool features like creating custom loops and multitouch, then make that version cost around $2, whadayathink?

I am not sure if it is a paid app or not, but you may want to put either a QR, or a link for it in here since I just wrote something about it and it will probably be up in the portal sometime next week...
Thanks dude! The more time I have to work on it, the faster it will be. At the current state, there are a lot of png images that can take some time to switch on older phones. But the audio is pretty fast because the clips are ogg format.
I'm working on a version with multitouch support, since all the reviews have asked for it. I've got an HTC Incredible I can test on. But more importantly, I'm recognizing a multitouch on our old screens and I'll see if I can't play a new sound when you hit another drum, even if you don't release the first finger yet. That will probably be ready in a week if it works well.

Multitouch
So I'm really close to having multitouch work 100% (just for this app) on our devices. The problem I finally hit was there is no difference in the values I'm getting if you a) touch once, then remove and touch somewhere else simultaneously, or b) touch once and hold, and then touch somewhere else (multitouch). I can't think of a way to differentiate the two types of touches and it's the last piece of the puzzle. Usually when you lift up that first finger you get a certain code back, but when you press somewhere else quick enough the code does not come up! Any programmers or someone with an idea can help me?
Updated first post with new multitouch* app.
* - It works 60% of the time, every time.

That's alright. I'll have to do some updating of that title on the market (actually I just did update it to 1.03, but Touch Drummer is the version that allows really quick clicking on our devices), and I'll just tell people to search for the new version with more features will be called "Touch Drummer." Thanks a lot egzthunder!
EDIT: Touch Drummer - Demo is uploaded to the market.
New version, supports our small screens now, and even Cupcake. Updated first post with the newest apk.
So, our devices can do multitouch? Or at least, a hack up job?

Yes it's a hack job, the way I implemented it. When you first press twice I can recognize both fingers almost accurately. But if you try to move them there's no way of telling which one you are moving.
This was in the post earlier but I must have deleted it. The multi-touch was acting up because of the nature of the program and its quick presses. I took it out because most of the devices running my app are capacitive screens anyway. But if you wanted to see it, I could write up a simple demo app that would show a "1" under the first finger and a "2" under the next finger. It's an implementation that works, but I just don't have a good use for it in my app.

BlackBerry 10 OS and Dev Alpha Device Announced

SOURCE : Kickedface
RIM CEO Thorsten Heins took to the stage to announce that RIM will be seeding Dev Alpha devices to developers for app testing. The device in question is not a commercial handset--in fact, it doesn't even work as a phone. Source : Asia Cnet
Heins, who was appointed CEO three months ago, pointed out that RIM is "making incredible progress on BB 10". He gave a quick onstage demo of what's in store for BB 10:
Notifications
The new notifications feature uses a swiping motion RIM calls "glancing". In any app, you can access your notifications simply by swiping sideways and keeping your finger on the screen. This brings up the notifications sidebar, and you can decide whether to continue or exit. During the onstage demo, RIM CEO Thorsten Heins noted that the swiping gesture flows across up to three applications back.
For the "glancing" feature to work, apps continue running realtime in the background and are not killed. We're a little worried about how this feature will affect battery life, though.
Keyboard
According to RIM's head of software portfolio, Vivek Bhardwaj, the new onscreen keyboard uses a "modelling algorithm" that's tailored to the user. Aesthetically, it's designed to look like the BB keyboard, complete with its renowned frets.
Bhardwaj's team must have gleaned some inspiration from Swype, because the new keyboard uses various intuitive gestures--for instance, swiping up and down for numbers and symbols, and backwards to delete words. While you're typing, word suggestions appear above the letters and you can swipe them upwards to add them to the message body. This is probably a lot faster than typing on a typical touchscreen device, but whether diehard BlackBerry users will consider it a worthy replacement for the company's famous physical keyboard remains to be seen.
Camera
RIM's current crop of BB 7 devices use continuous autofocus and hence lack a tap to focus function. BB 10 OS brings with it the ability to tap anywhere on the screen to focus and then shoot a picture.
That's not the most exciting and innovative feature of the camera app, though--it's the ability to go back "in time" to catch the perfect moment that caused the crowd to gasp audibly. For example, if you've captured the perfect photo but find that it's ruined by someone who is blinking, you can scroll a few frames forward or backward to the suitable moment. This saves the trouble of having your subject pose for another picture.
RIM also shared the stage with some developers, who showed off native BB 10 apps that have already been created. For example, Gameloft will have 11 games available on the platform when it's made available, and Pixelmags promised 10 free minutes of reading each month for its stable of e-magazines.
RIM is placing all its bets on the next-generation operating system (OS) to pull it out of its woes. It needs to restore investor and consumer confidence, as well as flagging smartphone sales. Based on what we've seen of BB 10 so far--as well as developers' works--there may be hope for the beleaguered company after all.
Stay tuned for more coverage from BlackBerry World coming soon.
Soooo....anyone having a bash at replicating the BB10 call screen as in the video? See 0:16 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEPYYo0-gfc
please anyone say?
In india,bb jam is on july 4th isn't it......so if we go to jam,can we get one alpha device?
NOTE:I HAVE 2 APPS ON BB APPWORLD.i am in kerala,maybe i will be coming to delhi
for bb 10 jam.....please reply
RIM is betting everything on BB 10, since the last couple of years they have been really quiet and releasing devices that are nothing to get exited, the hardware has been top quality but boring OS, by giving developers test devices they are trying to get developers on their side and work on their platform, it is strange how things work out guess that what makes an OS successful is the community that is behind it, I really loved web OS but never took off for a lot of reasons, so let's wait and see only time will tell if BB10 is a winner or not.....noob comment
That mock-up looks A LOT like an iPhone; just saying, first thing that came to mind. Anyway, seems like it has potential for people who want something that's clean and functional. I'm curious at least. Looks pretty decent. Not anything I'd pick up because it will just never have the customization abilities of Android, but might be something I'd recommend to friends, something I still can't really say for WP or Apple to some extent.
let's make this tread active,I have one dev alpha

1ASBAK1's Android [Apps] and [Tips] that survived years of evolutionary pressure.

Hi there guys,
I am a Medical student from Amsterdam. and have finally decided to participate in this forum with the goal Sharing My personal android [Apps] and [Tips] that survived years of evolutionary pressure. And I want to do so in a way that is a little bit different than that we are used to, via a mindmap that is (scroll down) :good:
Get me right here I am by no means even remotely related to the neighbor of the cousin of a Developer.
I am just one of you guys, a regular general xda users that is trying to distillate everything useful out of these Forums and put it to use
This is the moment I will spit some of this love right back in thy face. ​
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Introduction]
Gone are the days of typing a text messages with T9 only to find yourself counting the characters to minimize it all to 1 SMS.
These are the days in which we use our phones (to) excessively for every little this and that.
I do believe that it is how we have set up our phones on a the basic level (not the Rom, kernel, ect we have installed on it) that determines most of our user experience. I know that I probably p*ss*d off several people right there.
Don't get me wrong here, these forums are full of GREAT Devs delivering GREAT work kernel-and-rom-wise. And YES I do think that for instance a different touch-screen driver can defiantly be a game changer in the way we use our phone. In addition, there are much more of these examples(charger control, screen calibration etc.) that quite enhance user experience.
In my humble opinion I know that eventually these things are not what makes my phone a great, useful or even mind extending tool. Trust me here, for quite some time I have been coping with well-known tendency to keep flashing and flashing.
trough the years I have gone all MAD- [ASOP-MIUI-CAF-CM(lots of its "distro's" included)-Sailfish-Stock'nd'Hybrid]-APE-Sh*T on my Phones (i9070 -> nexus5 -> Opo)
I have to admit that there are still times (*kuch*OFTEN*kuch*) my behavior relapses into the fatty livered Flashaholic I once was. :crying:
I know for a fact that there are quite some readers who are like "yup. I can relate to this". :highfive: ! so lets get serious.
Generally speaking, every time you flash a (non-major android release)ROM there doesn't really change anything essential in the way you use your phone right?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do not want to get all to jibberish philosophical on the subject because initially I am here to bring you something hopefully useful. So you can skip this paragraph if you want:
All I know is that the PLACEBO effect does quite some magical things to the humans we are, so my best guess is that most probably "it" does also it's effect on these forums. In short:
If we expect X then we will experience at least a little bit of X. :angel:
For that, If we put effort into flashing a zip and we get an emotional stimulus accordingly (examples: "Look at me being awesomely geeky" or "Wow I hope I won't be destroying my phone with this flashable camera Hal") Chances are that what we will experience as
"THE SMOOTHEST ROM EVER" will at least partially be caused by this often seemingly paradoxical phenomena called Placebo.
Sounds familiar right. This example is simply written in about only 8 out of 10 threads you open. :silly:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But well, lets get to what it is this seemingly cynical person has you to offer :good: (don't worry) :
Over the years, there have been several "phases" In winch we have gone knee deep into a specific topic. I think this will not sound unfamiliar since I am definitely not the only one here. Just to name a few, I know some of you can relate to.
Launchers, Equalizer, gestures, photography(editing),remote control, and so on and so forth. my most recent for instance are Raw photo shooting and Google Cardboard. I say knee deep because as I said before I am no developer so I haven't gone in neck(code)deep.
What I want to do in this thread is described the Android deliciousness that have survived this strong urge to keep jumping from one '"Phase" to another and to combine this with the tweaks and general stuff that has made it so far trough the rising android evolutionary resistances by growing competition and the constant change of the technological world we live in.
Of course, I am not going to make this a freaking blizzardous long post containing all details and way to obvious apps etc. because that would
1]. Not be of any use for you. since you probably know everything already.
2]. Everything you have to setup according to your style. There are only a few MUST HAVE things which get a special treatment. (see photo below)
3]. Thiss will take me way to much time which I don't have since I am already typing this document to avoid studying.
Tldr:
I am going to superficially share my personal distilled [APPS] & [TIPS] and the way I use my phone every day. Hopefully skipping most of the way to obvious aspects. (facebook,Instagram,the power on button of your phone..or the fact that you are continuously seeing your nose without you even realizing it.etc) I want to keep it readable. agreed? See below​

DISCLAIMER
Did you notice how I did my best to emphasize the "personal" aspect of this thread in the first Alinea? If not let me just explain one seemingly simple thing. I am just a 22 y.o. Dutch student with his own views on the world and for that on the way we use our phones. If you think I suck because of the things I write in this thread. Then I want to congratulate you! You are as human as me. we all have opinions. Sharing them in a respectful/discrete way is MEGA appreciated. see what I did there?
[ If by any means I violate forum rules please make me aware of that. ]
Foresight:
The second and third post will be used for working out the things stated above.
I have been typing and thinking for two days now and I wanted to let you guys know I was working on something. Therefor this not yet completed "paper" It already contains the essentials, though!
Since this is my first post ever let me know what you think.
please.
Have a great day, Greetings from Amsterdam!

Overall love

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the RED Hydrogen One, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the RED Hydrogen One is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Pretty much everyone in the Houdini program (pre-release testing) appear to just **love** their device.
I've had mine for about two weeks now and have grown to absolutely love it! While the industrial design may be a stark departure for some, the scalloped edges make me feel really comfortable not using a case. Its really clear that this device is well built.
It runs a fairly stock version of Android 8.1, and I receive OS updates every few days to address bug fixes. Funny thing is, I haven't witnessed any bugs myself. While it's not an SD845, most users won't be able to tell the difference at all. This thing FLIES! I think until the next snapdragon SOC shrinks down a bit to single digit nm size, the performance gains won't be significant enough for users to really be measurably different in real world tasks.
Battery life is bonkers! I'm constantly demoing the device at full brightness for several hours a day, and on those days will end with about 40% life left. On my "off days" of regular use, I will typically only get to about 60-65% by the end of the night. I'm quite comfortable saying this will last some users two days.
The camera is fantastic as well! I looked it up in AIDA and it doesn't say who makes them, but the specs say 12.3 MP and 1.55 μm cell size. There's a few devices on the market with the exact same specs and both are praised for their camera prowess. I think what makes this one so awesome is the spacing between the cameras, which makes for the awesome 4-View holographic effect but also creates an awesome depth of field mode. I'll see if I can post some samples later today. The 4-View screen is something you just have to see. I won't bother explaining it, but I'll say that adding depth to photos makes me feel like a great photographer, even though I'm typically best outfitted with a potato cam.
Just got this phone. Loving it! When can we root it? Come on, guys! Chop Chop!

I just got my 2nd unit; so, I can start to experiment a little.
BUT, I have a *lot* to learn as my last Android device started
in KitKat and runs Nougat today. From a cursory look, quite
a bit has changed since then with a/b updates and the like.
Oh, and finding time for these experiments is another issue...
It's rootable but we need to get the bootloader unlocked. I'm going to ask Red if I can get the key. Will update once that happens.

Yes I am aware... But my "houdini" unit needs a fastboot code. We're you able to unlock yours, without?

Yeah, not yet. Rooting have been some time for me as I had an iPhone for a while and just switched back. Kinda learning again. But I did send a message to a RED team member asking for the unlock code so we'll see.
Just got mine today does anyone know how to take portrait mode pics. PS love it so far
I just installed the pixel 3 camera app and OMG does it unlock the potential of this phone.

If you bought directly from RED they will send you the Key to unlock. Hopefully you can work your magic with that. They are not allowed by contract to do that with Carrier phones.

You installed it on the RED ONE? How can you shoot 4V with that?
No you can't shoot 4v with the pixel camera app

I tried various versions but couldn't get it going, can you post a link to the one that works?
update all Red apps, and you can take portrait or landscape front and back
Good morning Red One users. I have an opportunity to purchase one of these from AT&T and was wondering if anyone can confirm that the speaker has gotten better for hands-free calling. I'm basing this off of a YouTuber who said he cannot hold phone conversations over speakerphone without the other party saying they can't understand him so he has to switch to handset. I've had a chance to see the demo and the AT&T store and they have only one left and they're holding it for me until close today.
I did notice when I was in the AT&T store looking at the demo I noticed the LG I was currently using had all of its signal bars but the hydrogen only had about 3. So I'm wondering if anyone has had any signal issues or drop coverage. I know this depends on your cellphone provider towers locations. Just wondering if anyone saw any drop off in cellphone coverage from previous devices?
I have both the AT&T version as well as the unlocked Titanium. Both operate on the AT&T network without issue. The signal bar has never dropped below half that I'm aware of and I have not had coverage issues even while traveling.
