In the Movies...

^^^Did you IMDb it?


I think this might be the place for this comment...

Many years ago I had a roommate with a rather odd wife. (She was going back to school about 80 miles away so he and I shared a house and she came down most weekends, that’s why he needed a roommate. Tom was a really nice guy, never understood how he ended up with her though.) Anyway, I can remember her at one point on one of those weekends pulling out a VHS tape (I mentioned it was a long time ago) of the movie “The Fisher King” and going on and on about how great a movie it was, how much she loved it, etc.

Given the source/recommendation, it’s probably understandable that I never watched it. Until tonight, that is. It’s not a bad movie, but in the middle I had to stop it to go to imdb and look up a character, who turned out to be Michael Jeter, who was in a movie I really enjoyed (and one I own), “The Green Mile.” While looking at his info I discovered he died in 2003, which isn’t that long after TGM was released. He was just 51. And Michael Clark Duncan has also passed, not to mention, of course, dear, amazing Robin Williams, which brings us back to The Fisher King. As I said, it’s not a bad movie, but I’m glad I didn’t watch it with Tom and his very odd wife.

And having seen The Fisher King, I can see how the Cohen brothers probably wrote the part of The Dude for Jeff Bridges. And as I’ve mentioned many times (it’s in the thread I started about movies we each again and again), “The Big Lebowski” is one of my favorite films.

Peace...out.

I too have an odd wife, really odd wife, she has a few children with a really best friend of mine, known the bloke for countless years.. I have seen Green Mile, I heard of The Fisher King too. I think maybe I have seen it when I was younger and binging on movies..

variable quality

Hadron
Even for a photo of less than 16Mpix resolution "original" and "high" are not the same thing. "High quality" is compressed. For the quality of most phone photos, and the uses they are generally put to, the compression won't be a problem for most people, but nevertheless it is not the original file.

If the image is > 16Mpix it will be scaled down to 16 Mpix as well as being compressed.

So if you select "original" I would expect that to be treated as "original" regardless of the number of pixels in the image.

Root [MetroPCS] [ROM][4.4.4]CARBON ROM Kitkat 4.4.4 for LG Optimus F6 [LOTS OF FIXES]

L
Is there anybody around who's still paying attention to this?

Looking to repurpose my old LG Optimus F6 phone as a portable media player, I've successfully flashed this Carbon ROM onto it. No problems or surprises other than from forgetting why you shouldn't do a reset using the power and volume buttons but that's been resolved.

The only question that I have now for anybody who may be listening is how might I get microG (https://microg.org/) working with this ROM as an open-source Google-free replacement for GApps?

For microG to work correctly, the ROM needs to implement a feature known as Signature Spoofing. Apparently the official Carbon ROMs that are currently available do offer this feature but I can't use it with this ROM. Either I don't how to activate Signature Spoofing or it was never implemented for this ROM possibly because it may be considered a possible security risk.

Is there anybody out there?

Help Pop message

P
I have a Lenovo TAB 2 A7-30H on which suddenly I am starting to get pop up messages
Android 5.0.1 kernel 3.10.54
"android.process.accore has stopped"
I click Ok and it closes but after a few minutes it pops up again.

I update all Android updates as soon as I am notified

My only recent change to Apps was the new Mozilla Firefox browser which ran fine. I have deleted the app and restarted tablet to see if that eliminated the problem. It has not.

Apps How to include two prebuilt interdependent shared libraries into Android application using cmake

U
I want to include two shared libraries liba.so and libb.so into my android application. Where function of libb.so is called from function in liba.so.

I have a Java class which calls native JNI Function as,

package com.test.myapplication;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

static{
System.loadLibrary(a);
System.loadLibrary(b);
}
public native void testSample();

@override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
testSample();
}
}
My JNI file is

#include"a.h"

extern "C" void JNICALL Java_com_test_myapplication_MainActivity_testSample( JNIEnv* env, jobject thiz) {
a_foo();
}
a.cpp file which is part of my library liba.so is

#include"b.h"
void a_foo()
{
/* ..... code .....*/
b_foo();
/* ..... code .....*/
}
My b.cpp which is part of libb.so is

void b_foo()
{
/* ..... code .....*/
}
I want to include liba.so and libb.so as librares and not as source into my application. Both the libraries are built using android-ndk independently.

Line System.loadLibrary(a); gives a runtime exception
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol "b_foo" referenced by "/data/app/com.test.myapplication-yyA38UEBmsXvaqOY-hm_HQ==/lib/arm64/liba.so" when loading

Discover app doesn't open when notifications are pressed

MoodyBlues
Really, none of that applies here, Eye In The Sky, but I appreciate your input. :)

The app in question is the official app for the Discover Card, installed directly from Play. I think its odds of containing malware/trojans/etc. are slim to none. :D

At any rate, since posting this thread in June, the problem has disappeared. It most likely was due to a buggy update, then corrected with a later one.

tablet gone haywire.

svim
Understand your frustration but keep in mind the RCA 7 Voyager II is a low-spec, low cost device commonly sold in places like Walmart. By design its long-term stability is a challenge so it's not surprising that while looking online most references for maintenance tasks aren't very definitive to the problems you've described. This online manual wasn't very helpful:
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/988638/Rca-Rct6773w22-B-7-Voyager-Ii.html?page=27#manual
or you this guide on doing a Factory Reset might apply:
https://www.unlockandreset.com/rca-tablets-all-models-hard-reset-instructions/
(follow the instructions carefully, back up any data you want to keep).
But again, this is a low-end tablet so set your expectations accordingly. Try to keep it maintained and use it for what it is as long as you can, but if you're really dependent on a good tablet I would give some serious thought into upgrading to something new or at least more appropriate.

Can one replace Odin root with Magisk root?

svim
You might find more relevant info online looking to replace SuperSU with Magisk, as opposed to replacing Odin. The Odin utility is what you should be using to flash your device, but its SuperSU that's running on your device as the root management service.

Clear recent apps

Maybe you're not scrolling far enough? It's always the last entry and I've never not seen it.

Why do you want to clear the apps list?
Click to expand...

Sometimes it's placebo and sometimes it's frustration. I've done it, but not to increase performance, which it wouldn't do anyway. It goes something like this ... Sunday afternoon I'm working in the yard or out with the wife and I want to check the football scores. Rather than drill down through the drawer for the NFL app, I'll just sweep up to get to recents. It should be pretty close to the front of the list on Sunday's, but no ... I've already looked up weed killer, got three emails, a text from my sister-in-law who reset here router AGAIN ... an amazon notification, the weather app ... you get the picture. I don't know if this is just me not used to the Pixel 4 yet, but I almost always tap on the wrong app, either because the recents scroll too fast or my eye-hand coordination just isn't what it used to be. After the second or third time, I say f%$ it and scroll all the way to the end with one big satisfying swipe and "clear all". I still have to go into the app drawer, but, at least for the next few minutes, the app that I'll most likely want is top of the list.
