I have a question for android peeps.

Is there anyway to create a restore point? I'm about to download a new launcher and a whole bunch of widgets and icon files to customise my home screen. Wondered if I could create a restore point in case it all goes pete tong?

Factory reset?

A lass at our place installs launcher after launcher. I've lost count of the times I've reset the phone now.

You would only lose your icon layouts at most.

Just uninstall the 3rd party launcher & all goes back to the default launcher. How you had your default launcher & where the icons were doesn't change.

This was covered yesterday on Radio 4. Looks like a good game which could help in the long run... https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... lpha&hl=en

Downloaded it, played for 2 mins and found it crap.

Apparently it's data analysis. The show mentioned that while computer analysis is quick it is only 90-95% accurate while humans are more accurate while being slower. They gathered game developers together for a 48 hour challenge to see if there was a way to build a game to allow humans to analysis the data in a game. This is the result. I can't recall exactly what they said but I think they said they are looking for peaks and troughs in the data which indicates where something is.
Either way it's a good idea for crowdsourcing.

A recurring problem in science is that we are far better at collecting vast amounts of scientific data than we are at actually analysing them. To combat this problem, the charity Cancer Research UK have just launched a mobile phone game, 'Genes In Space', that farms statistical analysis out to the masses. Under the guise of flying a spaceship through a meteor storm, game players actually navigate their way through genetic sequence data from breast cancer patients. The information on the virtual path they take is automatically uploaded to the database and fed back into the scientific process.

Surely if they implemented this into something like grand theft auto, we'd have a cure by next week :scratch:

Friend asked me if there is such a thing as setting user profiles for mobile phones i.e. admin + others. Is such a thing possible? Never really looked into it.

You can do this in the standard Android, but only on tablets. I suspect a 3rd party ROM will have enabled this for phones.

It exists within android but is disabled on phones. A custom rom will enable it

Vodafone don't supply direct, off the back of a complaint I've made they are seeing if they will give me a 5s for no additional charge, if they wont the only other viable handsets are sgs4 or htc..
