Re: Free42 for Android - Thomas Okken - 04-11-2011įree42 for Android stretches the skin to fit the screen, and the display is stretched along with it. Have other users mentioned this? Is there currently a way to sharpen the output? I did notice the 'LCD display' is quite blurry on Droid. I installed it on my Motorola Droid (first gen) last night and look forward to using it. Thank you so much for the port of Free42. I think full user-configurability is the only way to go here. I doubt that that path works everywhere, either.

If the automatic update isn't feasible, a dialog 'Import skins' would solve the problem.Įdited:, 5:57 p.m. This way, you can add or update skins via the SD card without having to keep the card in the device. You should copy the skins to a local directory and update the files if a newer version is found in the configured directory. I suggest dropping /sdcard and using /mnt/storage/sdcard instead.Ī custom option would be fine, too, for devices without an SD card. You're not the first one I've heard from that said that the /sdcard path doesn't work I think in the next release I'll add a field to the Preferences dialog to let you specify the skins directory yourself. I'm afraid I'm an Android newbie myself - I can't help you with advanced topics like rooting the device or setting up ssh. :(ĭo you know of an ssh server so that I can administer my device better? I try rooting my device and correct the link but I don't know if that's permanent.

My /sdcard link is wrong, it points to /mnt/storage instead of /mnt/storage/sdcard.

I'll leave the version with the old signature on my web site for a while so you can upgrade to that first (in case you were using one of my alpha releases), export your programs, then uninstall and get the latest from the Market, then import your programs.Īll future releases will be signed with this new key, both on the Market and on my web site, so this upgrade headache should not happen again in the future. You'll have to transfer your programs manually.

#Free42 android manual install

The app in the Market was signed with a different key than the ones I have been posting on my web site so far, so you will not be able to upgrade from the previous versions this will be a new install and your persistent state from the previous install will not be preserved. This is my first time interacting with the Market it was pretty painless, but in case anyone notices a problem, please let me know.Īlso N.B. Just search for 'Free42', or click this link. They will be picked up the next time Free42 is launched.įree42 in Android Market - Thomas Okken - 04-10-2011 The filer isn't very helpful, it seems to hide most of the file system. How do I install new skins? I managed to copy them to a local file. I can't say when I'll implement it, but in the meantime, you can make the key clicks go away by clearing flag 26. The Android version stretches skins to fill the screen so you don't need an exact fit.īill, your suggestion is noted. I don't have any skins designed specifically for Androids yet, but you could try some of the other 'mobile' skins (from the Pocket PC, PalmOS, or iPhone skins packages). Re: Free42 for Android - Thomas Okken - 04-10-2011 I'm now busy downloading RAW files to the phone. One small suggestion - could you add a preference to turn off key clicks? Or better yet, toggle it to vibrate? Having file i/o now makes it the perfect calculator for my Droid X. I second this - Fantastic work you have done. Re: Free42 for Android - Bill (Smithville, NJ) - 04-10-2011 I'd like to see a hires skin, the image looks very 'pixely'. The real estate for the keys is pure luxury. Re: Free42 for Android - Marcus von Cube, Germany - 04-10-2011Ī quick check on my Archos 70 is promising. Re: Free42 for Android - Forrest Switzer - 04-09-2011

Once I have tested it on a few real phones, I'll put it in the Android Market, too, but that may take another week or so. I finished my Android port of Free42 the big missing features (program import & export and printing to files) are done.
