Shrink Photo

post_nyanchew — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 03:06:35 +0000

Shrink Photo is an application to shrink images to suitable size for attaching Email, fast uploading to Web services, etc. It's a simple application that it doesn't show you any UI to select size and application to sent.

Basic Usage

Select "Shrink Photo" when you share an image from application such as Gallery. Shrink Photo shrinks received image and sends it to target application.

By launching Shrink Photo from application drawer or home screen shortcut, you can select an application behavior from one of three modes below:

1. Shrink to 640x480 and send it to Gmail
2. Each time select size and application manually
3. Use customized settings of shrink size and application to be sent to

But there is no UI for picking up image to shrink. You have to send image from other application such as Gallery by "share via" command.

Settings

When launching Shrink Photo from application drawer or home screen shortcut, a screen showed at right is appears.
you can select Shrink Photo's behavior from one of three modes below:

1. Shrink to 640x480 and send it to Gmail

In this mode, shrink photo doesn't show you any UI. Just shrink received image and send it to Gmail.

2. Each time select size and application manually

This mode show you UI to select shrink size and application to send image when you sent image from other application by "share via" command.

3. Use customized settings of shrink size and application to be sent to

You can pre-set shrink size and application to be sent. In this mode, shrink photo uses pre-set value of shrink size and application, and doesn't show you any UI similar to mode 1.

Custom Settings

When you select custom mode, custom setting screen appears. You can select application to be sent image to and size to shrink.

By tapping "Select app" button above, you can select application to be sent image to from application list.

Back to previous screen by "Back" button, and exit with current settings of custom mode by "Exit" button (behavior is set to custom mode).

Manual mode

If you select manual mode, when you send image to Shrink Photo from other application by "share via" command, manual setting screen appears.

You can select shrink size, then by tapping send button, application list to select application to sent image appears.

Others

JPEG and PNG are supported. EXIF information in JPEG file is also copied to shrank image.

When shrinking, Shrink Photo refers rotation value in EXIF info, and automatically rotate appropriately.

Things to save battery life of Galaxy S II (SC-02C)

nyanchew — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 12:07:47 +0000

Since I replaced Nexus One with Galaxy S II (SC-02C) several month ago, I had a fun by tweaking various settings and installing various applications. I found that many of settings and applications are for a saving battery life. I listed things to save a battery life. They includes things that require root privileges.

A screenshot on the right side is battery usage on some day with doing items described below. Usually I'm using more in day time and charging is needed in the evening. On that day, I went home without charging.

Using Juice Defender

First, the best thing that is highly effective. I use Juice Defender. In a nutshell, Juice Defender is an application to save battery life by suppressing data communication. I wrote detail.

JuiceDefender を使って Androidのバッテリーを節約する(Japanese)

The effect is so large.

Set CPU clock by SetCPU (root privileges needed)

I'm using SetCPU. My settings are 1200 max, 200 min, conservative. I wrote detail usage of SetCPU.

SetCPU の使い方メモ(Japanese)

I'm using some profiles as screenshot.

Use kernel that support UV

I'using kernel that support UV (UnderVoltage), and set UV by SetCPU. The kernel is by いるるんさん.

The shortest time of screen timeout

About phone>Battery Use shows that a battery draining by Display is very large. You had better make screen off often. I set a time of screen timeout to the shortest time, 15 seconds. It's inconvenient for actual usage, so I use Screeble to prevent screen off while I use the phone.

Screebl でバッテリーを節約する (Japanese)

Darken screen brightness

I don't check Automatic brightness in Display Settings menu, but I set brightness of 20% fixed value. And Touch Key light duration is set to 'Off'.
I also checked 'Auto adjust screen power'.

Disable unnecessary services

Galaxy S II has many services which are executed automatically. I froze unnecessary applications/services by Titanium Backup.

Minimize automatic data acquisition of applications

There are many applications which acquire data from the Internet automatically. Basically I set data acquisition Off, or 'Only WiFi connected'. I set Auto Sync of Google accounts On. But I set Off for other applications, such as NewsRob, Evernote, and Lightbox. Regarding Twitter, I retrieve tweets every time I use twitter application.

It's bad for battery life, but...

I always set GPS on other than home and office. If I uncheck Location & security settings> Use wireless networks, it's better for battery life, but I use this function, because I use Locale application. If I stop to use Locale, it's better I know....

This is the first LP record which I bought in my life. I lost it, but suddenly I want to listen this album, and I looked for CD.

But it seemed it is out of print, and second-hand CDs are sold at very high prices. I kept looking for here and there, finally I found a second-hand CD which price is $28.99 at Amazon.com. I bought it. It is a reasonable price even shipping $6.89 is added.

I got it, and listened. Listening the first track "Venus and Mars", Feeling nostalgic. I remember excitement of dropping a needle on to the edge of LP record. This feeling may not be understood by young digital natives.

The CD is re-mastered, and it may be different sound from I listened from LP record.

When I was young, I could listen the whole LP record only to focus on sound, and was very impressed.

SGP Galaxy S2 (SC-02C) Case Neo Hybrid

I bought a case for my Galaxy S2 by SGP, which is located LA, USA. They have an agent in Japan, and you can buy from Amazon Japan. I feel a black design of SGS2 is not so good, then I want a colorful case. I think a red is good, but sold out. Then I got a yellow case.

This yellow is quite a good, slightly darker yellow. Photo is slightly brighter, but in fact, little dark.

I chose the SGP Neo Hybrid, because it is so luxury. I don't like cheep plastic case. SGP has various sort of cases, from very ultra-thin to little thick one. You may want to read explanations in a site of official SGP stores. The price is little bit high, I chose one which has a cool look.

First put a black silicone cover, then put a yellow frame on it. The black part is a matte finish and good contrast with the gleaming surface of the original Galaxy S2. The back of the Galaxy S2 of NTT DoCoMo version has not rough finish that international version has, I'm little disappointed. The back side of the this case is not slippery. When I have it in hand, it's good. But it's a little not smoothly when sliding into a pocket.

This case almost satisfied me. It looks very very good.

Search function on small site may be inconvenient

Search Patterns (Design for Disciple-Making)

投稿者: Jeffery Callender, Peter Morville

出版社: Oreilly & Associates Inc (2010)

装丁: ペーパーバック, 180 ページ

I found following description in a book, "Search Patterns: Design for Discovery", which I bought from O'Reilly Japan (Japanese Edition).

A solid taxonomy with clear categories and labels is enough. Perhaps a sitemap or index is useful to complement navigation, but search is unnecessary. In fact, adding search may be downright dangerous, since most queries will lead to nowhere.

In this site, I put search box to search within the site, but I think the description above is right. At most case, search result contains nothing. I use search box with appropriate words, because I know contents of this site. But visitors can't put good words for search.

Most of visitors come some page of this site, and think what's this site? then use search box without knowledge of this site. Not always enter at top page of this site.

Considering about this, I changed settings of Google Custom Search to search from whole WEBs with priority of this site.

It should be better than no search results.

How to restore settings which backed up to Google server

post_nyanchew — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 10:08:39 +0000

Google published documents named AndroidUsersGuide.

For Android 2.2 is here:

http://www.google.com/googlephone/AndroidUsersGuide.pdf

And for Android 2.3 is here:

http://www.google.com/googlephone/AndroidUsersGuide-2.3.pdf

I found a following description in these documents.

If you want to restore your settings to this phone, from another phone that was running Android release 2.0 or later, you must sign into your Google Account now, during setup. If you wait until after setup is complete, your settings are not restored.

To restore your settings which backed up to Google server, you have to sign into your Google Account during a setup wizard running.

Settings for backup is in Settings > Privacy. If you check this option, Wifi password, Browser bookmarks, Installed Application List, User dictionary of Android keyboard, and Settings are backed up. If you uncheck this option, the backed up data is deleted from Google servers.

Mobile theme switching by Mobile Tools

post_nyanchew — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 13:15:25 +0000

I used SwitchTheme module to switch theme for mobile terminals up to now. But I looked for another module, because Browscap, which is co-working with SwitchTheme to detect mobile terminals, doesn't work well recently.

I found Mobile Tools module. Now I use this module to switch theme when accessed from mobile terminals such as Android.

The document concerning Mobile Tools is here.

Make your site mobile with Mobile Tools

After install as the same way of other modules, basically it works soon well.

Mobile Tools settings

･Notification/ Redirection settings

Select a switching method to the theme for mobile from two methods. One is redirecting to URL for mobile, and another is switching themes with same URL.
Here, because I want to use the same URL, Mobile URL and Desktop URL are made the same.

Mobile Tools block message options are settings of blocks to display desktop theme screen and mobile theme screen separately. Here, on the desktop theme screen, display a link to mobile theme, and on a mobile theme screen, display a link to desktop theme.

･Theme Switching screen

The method of changing the theme is specified. Here, set to "Switch theme for a mobile device". And set a default theme name and theme names for each device group (iPhone, iPod, iPad, Android, ...). I use nokia_mobile for all type of mobile device.

Block settings

Mobile Tools module generates Mobile Tools message block. I set this block at a footer region. On mobile theme, a link of "to PC View" to switch desktop theme appears at the footer, and on desktop theme, a link of "to Mobile View" appears at the footer.

Tweak mobile theme

I adjusted "nokia_mobile" theme a little with checking by my android phone. I also add Google AdSense ad for mobile.

I completed Robo Defense Free level 10, and took a screen shot for a memory.

It is a composite image of four screen shots.

I made it from right to left by a way of making a road for robots from exit side to entrance side. I prepared Teleports early, and used it much.
