With ChangeEncoding you can change the encoding of any file you want. Useful for fixing problems with subtitles for ex.
You’ll be asked to install AndExplorer. This application uses AndExplorer to select files.

Calling a Java Method of a instance from Handwritten JavaScript – non static [work around, hack]
I needed to call a Java method(GWT) from JavaScript (the GWT JSNI ). Here, it’s described, how it should be done. But this way you can’t call a method of a instance, you can invoke static members,only.
I found some solutions on the internet, like this:
$wnd.callback_gwt= $entry(this.@mypackage.MyUtilityClass::computeLoanInterest(IFI));
and some other variations. This way you are calling the callback successfully, as it seems, but when the call back tries to access the instance – this, it gets null. (the call back is not static)
So here is my solution. It’s something like a singleton.
This works on GWT 2.2, i guess it should work in older or newer versions too (in case Google don’t provide any normal access to the instance).
/////JAVA
public class ContactsEditPresenter implements Presenter {
public static ContactsEditPresenter megathis;
///constructor:
public ContactsEditPresenter( HandlerManager eventBus, Display view) {
this.eventBus = eventBus;
this.display = view;
//store this
ContactsEditPresenter.megathis=this;
//prepare to call and then call some JS
initJS();
}
public native void initJS(String msg) /*-{
//provide call back
$wnd.callback_gwt = $entry(@com.androidsmash.contacts.client.presenter.ContactsEditPresenter::updateSomething(F));
//start some JS code
$wnd.doSomethingJS();
}-*/;
public static final void updateSomething(float val ){
String t=new Float(val).toString();
ContactsEditPresenter.megathis.display.getTextBoxVal().setText(t);
}
....
/////JAVA SCRIPT
function doSomethingJS(){
window.callback_gwt(5.33);
}
PS: I needed this in Android project. I noticed that it have nothing to do with Android, right after I finished the article. 
I hope it’s helpful to at least someone.
Comments are welcome, I’ll be happy If there is a better way to do it.

Send files to your Android phone quick and easy – Awesome Drop
Imagine the following situation(if you don’t won’t to you can skip to “Here’s how it works” ): You are at a friends house and want to transfer some files from his computer to your phone.
I guess one solution is to use GMail to email the files to your self and then download the attachment to your phone, but this is a work around and it have it’s limitations.
Awesome drop
The best solution in this scenario is to use Awesome drop. With this application you don’t even have to be on the same network, all you need is to have internet on both devices. The creators haven’t noted any limit on the file size, so I guess there isn’t any. I tried It with a 350MB file and It transferred without any problems. (Mind your traffic if you are on a data plan )
This is the features list from the site of the app:
- No account required
- Works over WiFi and 3G
- Transfer files from any computer with a compatible browser*
- Works with music, photos, documents, any type of file you want on your phone
- Send and receive files with friends
And Here’s how it works:
- Install Awesome drop from the Android Market or from here
- On the computer navigate to this site: http://labs.dashwire.com/drop and get your pin
- Input the pin in the app
- Drag your files in the browser where you opened the site
- That’s all there is!!!
Please, tell me in the comments section below:
How do You transfer files to your phone?
Update Desire to Froyo OTA (Over The Air) Manualy
I was very frustrated about not getting the update to Android 2.2. It’s a not branded, not rooted or modded by any way phone, but after I click check for update ( “Check Now” ) it was not getting any response at all, just a spinning circle and “Checking”. So I after a hard day of searching I finally found out how to update it manually - Source
The Tutorial:
- Download the update archive from here
- Copy the file to your SD card
- Rename it to Update.zip
- Turn off your phone
- Hold the Volume down button and click the power button to turn it back on in the bootloader menu
- There select “Recovery” (Volume down then Power button)
- When you see an triangular icon with a exclamation point, hold Volume up then click power
- A menu will appear, select “Apply sdcard:update.zip”
