Scann3d, making 3d models with your cell phone camera!

I am not an artist. Nor am I a 3d modeler. I tried using Blender and other 3d modeling programs, but it just isn't something that I have a knack for. However, when I saw this app I had to check it out! It's called Scann3d, and it can be …

BROM error s not enough memory 1012

What does that even mean? Well, if you are searching the internet for that message, then you are trying to use SPF flash tool to write something to your MediaTek phone. You probably were following a guide to the "T" - just like me. You are also considering things like using …

Can't apply that type to a super!

Another compiling error as I work on getting Android Nougat on the TBLTEXX/TBLTETMO Samsung Galaxy Note Edge. This time, it will not allow me to return processUnsolicited(p) as a type under "super" like so:

[CODE]
super.processUnsolicited(p);

[/CODE]

So, I opened up build_cm14/device/samsung/tblte-common/ril …

Updated the S4Camera app!

As we spoke about last time, there were two problems with my custom S4 camera app:

  2. No audio was recorded.

Well, I haven't fixed everything yet, but I was able to …

A special camera app for the Samsung Galaxy S4!

Recently I was fortunate enough to compile a working version of AOKP Nougat for the Samsung Galaxy S4 JFLTETMO/JFLTEXX phones (Praise God!). For the most part, it seems to work great. The only big issue is a problem with the camera.

It's not that the camera doesn't work. In …

Wframe-larger-than error!

It's been a while since I've seen this happen, and although I've mentioned it before, it just goes to show that it is an ongoing issue. Let's take a look at the output of the compiler:

Adding a hotplug alternative or option to a kernel

Today was a pretty fun day. By God's grace, I was able to add intelli_plug, a hotplug alternative made by Faux123, to my JFLTE kernel! Adding a hotplug was a lot easier than I thought it would be, and only required one trimming of the code by Faux123 to make …

Error! Sometimes they are hard to find!

Sometimes errors can be nested deep in the terminal output, in fact, sometimes it is so deep that you have to scroll back several HUNDRED LINES just to find it. Consider this real example from helping a fellow developer:
