Just updated Cool: Vysor screen sharing by Koush with this:
Edit 20160217: new keyboard/mouse shortcuts
- Old: keyboard shortcuts
Escape -> Back Button;
F1 -> Menu Button;
Home -> Home Button;
- New: mouse shortcuts
Middle Click -> Home;
Right Click -> Back

Now hopefully the screen resolution thing will be fixed: [Wayback/Archive] github.com/koush/vysor.io/issues/68

If you ever need a universal Android ADB driver for Windows, then use this one: koush/UniversalAdbDriver.
I never noticed it was there until Koushik Dutta posted about a signing trick on Google+.
Windows drivers need to be signed, so what he does is generate a self signed certificate on the fly during installation, sign the driver install it, and drop the private key of the certificate.
Each installation has its own key, Microsoft is happy, and it is proven the driver signature mechanism in Windows has a hole.
If you want to do similar things, then this commit is what you are looking for: Use a self signed, self destructing signing cert. · e8b78fe · koush/UniversalAdbDriver.
It isn’t rocket science, but not trivial C# either, so this is a great example of something that works.

Thanks Kristian Köhntopp for mentioning this, so it got on my research list:
a new reverse-engineering framework that works on the intermediate representation Jimple and supports all the features above and a lot more.
…
CodeInspect supports as input format a complete Android Application Package (apk), just the Android bytecode (dex-file) or a jar-file.
In the following we will describe the different features based on a malicious Android apk.
The figure above is a screenshot of CodeInspect. As one can see, CodeInspect is based on the Eclipse RCP framework

Interesting comment by Marco Cantu:
R&D at Embarcadero is working on a 64bit iOS compiler, oh well actually 2 of them, also C++. We’ll support 64bit and “universal binaries” (bundling both 32 and 64 bit binaries) requested by Apple.The Feb 1st requirement is only for new apps, not for updating existing ones, but still we are trying to make a solution available by that time.The roadmap describes the entire year, more than the individual release. This time around we are trying to have it public by January, covering what we expect to deliver in 2015.

Thanks a lot Steve Pomeroy! And shame on me for finding out (through Michael Panzer, thanks for your notification) this chart only today (he published this chart on 2013-08-20).
Steve’s quote on it:
After struggling with trying to figure out how various pieces fit together, I’ve done some research and put together the complete Android Activity/Fragment lifecycle chart. This has two parallel lifecycles (activities and fragments) which are organized vertically by time. Lifecycle stages will occur in the vertical order in which they’re displayed, across activities and fragments. In this way, you can see how your fragments interact with your activities.
In addition to the attached image, I’ve also got an SVG: http://staticfree.info/~steve/complete_android_fragment_lifecycle.svg which is suitable for printing.
If this is missing lifecycle steps or is inaccurate in any way, let me know so I can update it!
Note: there is also a large bitmap of the chart.
