[Android] Boot animation change, subsequent hangup and hard reset thereafter!

-
[UPDATE ] The hard-reset phone kept with old animation worked for a while but after I installed a s***load of apps, it went keput again! So had to do another hard reset; and this time after the reset I installed BAC (Boot Animation Changer) and restored the stock animation back.
Now I have re-installed almost all the apps and it's going okay. Hmmm, maybe no custom boot anim for me.
                                                                               --- *** ---

Just tried Boot Animation Changer on my Karbonn S1 Titanium. Had to root it first; framaroot took care of that. It's a nice app! Later I installed BAC(Boot animation changer) and put in an animation of Cynogenmod that I got hold of on a site.

After rebooting though, the karbon won't get to homescreen. The last three seconds of the animation kept repeating itself. So I had to factory reset it. So after couple of fiddly reboots, it's factory reset (Full factory reset + cache wipe!). And the cynogenmod boot animation is still there! So I am gonna keep it for now. Hussh! Was scared that I had bricked it! :D

Should get a recovery image prepared! But I am too tired these days to even dig in XDA-DEV site...

QCalendarWidget CSS Stylesheeting

-
Recently I had to implement a calendar for a TouchScreen application. I resorted to css to modify the calendar widget's appearance so that it would be more accessible. Following is the code that enabled me to get a proper calendar. calendar->setStyleSheet("QMenu { font-size:20px; width: 300px; left: 20px; }"     "QToolButton {icon-size: 48px, 48px; font: 20px; height: 70px; width: 100px; }"     "QAbstractItemView {selection-background-color: rgb(255, 174, 0);}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator{ width: 50px;}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:pressed,"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:open{ top:10px; left: 10px;}"     "QTableView { font: 30px; }"     "QSpinBox { width: 100px; font: 20px;}"     "QSpinBox::up-button { width:40px;}"     "QSpinBox::down-button { width:40px;}");

A tryst with Message Queues Pt. 2

-
So far... I'm sending data to a RabbitMQ broker as messages. These messages get queued up in a user configurable queue. Supposedly a consumer is going to process these. But the consumer is out of my view. Doesn't matter. Now there came a feature of receiving notifications from the consumer or some other system. So after some discussion, the powers to be decided that we are going to have a notification queue which the client has to read. And from it we get the notifications to be read. Now the shady part of business was I had no idea what the hell is going on the inside of libStomp. So I ask politely that I don't have any read code. And I get handed over a single stomp_read code snippet. (In whiny voice) They said it works!!! But it doesn't!!! I tried so hard!!! Damn!!! So I looked into the protocol to understand why the hell I am no getting anything. After reading the protocol, I came to know that the implementation is fucked up in ways more than a few. First ...
