* adding compatibility menu
* backup gravity
* set expanable=true if the screen size is hvga * density.
* added "supports any density" mode. I'll add sdk check later.
* disallow to catch orientation change event if the app is not expandable. This
was causing layout problem under non-expandable mode. I discussed this with Mike C
and we agreed to do this approach for now. We'll revisit if this causes problem to
a lot of applications.
(in a follow-on change). This setting, to be respected by global search, and which
I will also file a bug to the browser to respect, determines whether live web
suggestions will be shown to the user as they type. For privacy reasons, this
could be considered undesirable, as partial queries can then be sent to the user's
chosen search engine, so a setting was required.
- Use ordered broadcast to allow receivers to set a result code.
- Ack SMS with result code.
- New RIL command to report memory status.
- Fixed a typo in a Gservices setting.
- Merge in CL 137895 (hold a wake lock while broadcasting SMS_RECEIVED).
CellLocation uses TelephonyManager to get the PhoneType.
TelephonyManager uses the system property to get the phoneType,
if the ITelephony interface is not up.
The previous implementation used a database for storing all of its state, which could cause
a significant amount of IO activity as its tables were updated through the stages of a sync.
This new implementation replaces that in-memory data structures, with hand-written code
for writing them to persistent storage.
There are now 4 files associated with this class, holding various pieces of its state that
should be consistent. These are everything from a main XML file of account information that
must always be retained, to a binary file of per-day statistics that can be thrown away at
any time. Writes of these files as scheduled at various times based on their importance of
the frequency at which they change.
Because the database no longer exists, there needs to be a new explicit interface for
interacting with the sync manager database. This is provided by new APIs on IContentService,
with a hidden method on ContentResolver to retrieve the IContentService so that various
system entities can use it. Other changes in other projects are required to update to the
new API.
The goal here is to have as little an impact on the code and functionality outside of
SyncStorageEngine, though due to the necessary change in API it is still somewhat extensive.
- all public apis and framework changes have been reviewed by relevant folks in our branch (e.g romainguy)
- all new public apis are @hidden; they will still get reviewed by api council once we're in git
- other than that, it's mostly GlobalSearch and search dialog stuff, a new apps provider, and some tweaks
to the contacts provider that was reviewed by jham

LocationManagerService now listens for changes to settings,
making LocationManager.updateProviders() unnecessary.
Removed LocationManager.updateProviders()
Added Settings.Secure.setLocationProviderEnabled(), which is a thread-safe way
of enabling or disabling a single location provider.
This is safer than reading, modifying and writing the LOCATION_PROVIDERS_ALLOWED directly.

Added a new WITH_EMAIL_OR_IM_FILTER_URI to find people with a given string as either an E-mail or IM address. This cleans up the original code, and lets us handle duplicates when there are multiple ContactMethod matches for a single person. (We don't get GROUP BY through the ContentProvider interface.)
In ContactsListActivity we don't show possibly-incorrect labels when in MODE_QUERY_PICK_TO_VIEW, as any labels and values would be identical. (The people appearing in that list are there because their ContactMethod matches the query.)
