DIY HLA Cleaning on my 323F Astina

open engine cover

one bolt free

two bolt free 

third bolt is easy too

 …, and the last bolt is… 

worn out…, not hexagonal anymore,

couldn’t be turned with any type of wrench, oh dear

Grab a hammer and chisel, and "do" it

And it's break free..., :)

HLA, I'm coming... (there it is, big coin-head-shaped HLA, not small bullet-shape one )

 wait, .....

Open the manual book, 

Have to remove timing belt first, whatch out the mark, it must not changed on the assembly,

And then distributor have to be remove too, .....

....

...

ToDo cancelled, ..., maybe next weekend, :)

Gonna to do like this one

The Perfect Race

What a race. Rossi is back.

What a respect, Marquez let Pedrosa get through him after he out of track at first corner and had to cut the track; bypassing corner

And heartbreaking final lap, :)

[Java Android] Create Circle and Line using Canvas on Eclipse with ADT (just for self documentation)

here it is,

I just create new Android app and go straigth to MainActivity.java without setting up the interface, so res/value/strings.xml  and res/layout/* is left as is

and my activity is mainly in MainActivity :)

...still figuring how to create moveTo lineTo since it'll come handy for drawing curve (sine, cosine, some exotic function) and animating it :)

The Impressions

So, after tinkering with Lenovo A3000 for 5 day...

The IPS screen is acceptable

The quadcore processor is doing what it supposed to do, fast enough

Getting used with android onscreen keyboard ( it's my 1st android device, i used iPhone and iPad), no AZERTY layout tough

 

The Playstore is fairly equal to AppStore. Keep in mind on android open source and open community nature, there's many apps that similar each other, and in some case, apps that has no purpose or simply didn't work.

The treasure (for me) is AIDE, an IDE app to create android app from inside android itself; something that's forbidden in iOS, :)

No home button is definitely problem for me, as it's replacement for my 2 years son's broken iPad. The challenge is how to teach him to use power button to waking up the device. The other solution is set the timeout display to 30 minutes and risk on fast drained battery.

Still give it a chance and time, .....

(My iPad is practically dead brick now, couldn't be charged, got the message like "couldn't charge with this accesories" or "this acessories not support charging" even with new original cable ; it's likely the connector is short circuited and blown away)

(edit: "Charging is not supported with this accessory")

Create Android Application (Thermometer Converter) on Android Itself, using AIDE

It my early android apps developed using Eclipse and ADT on my Mac and now ported to AIDE on my A3000, which is, say, just copy and paste, :).

The app itself consist of two button, one textview, one edit text and a spinner. The input in edit text is processed based on spinner value and the result is displayed on text edit. The button is just for checking and have fun, :)

That's it, now let's get our hand dirty...


Of course the first step is open AIDE apps, :)

 then scroll down until "For Expert" choice appear, I didn't bother to use tutorial, you may like it though, :)

 choose "Create new Project here", then choose "New App"

run it

 

it will build

 and prompt us whether we want to install the built app, of course...
