[XPERIA X10 General] truefat:
This is what I think is the main purpose behind the bulletproof bootloader. Sony wants to create and control a higher end mobile gamming platform that will be licenced to other cell phone manufactures, giving them a huge install base. The x10 was just a pawn to test the bootloader's security.
[XPERIA X10 General] totalundone:
fail0verflow discovered the method to calculate the key. He used it for homebrew, Geohot used fail0verflow's method to calculate and publish the other, more famous key.

Cracking the bootloader on the Play is only going to lead to as much piracy as cracking the bootloader on the X10. Which means it won't change a thing. Yes, the Play will have games but I think it's done the same way as all other pre-installed software.

I agree, SE doesn't really care about what's going on at the moment. I think they probably would if the bootloader was truly cracked.
[XPERIA X10 General] DeViL_DiCe:
Although i agree with you, i simply cannot call the X10 a "pawn". It hurts too much to say it, since i never paid so much for a pawn... =)

You took the words out of my mouth by saying that the X10 was/is an android test for SE for the future.

[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
It's the whole motive that seems insulting, not the topic so much. When you attempt to disrespect them and call them out it really doesn't matter what you say. Regardless if it would have gotten their attention, I still think it was unthoughtful. This is not the first time either. Also, I find it presumptuous and suspect that someone would post some dev's work to support their own agenda without asking the dev's permission. Heck, isn't that xda forum rules?

If they have whiners at SE like we have whiners on XDA then you know what is going on there. ;p Now I am not saying that is going to happen. What I am saying is it really shouldn't have been done in the first place.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thenewak:
I like the 8.9 although it will depend if it has all the stuff the 10.1 has dual wifi antennas, surround sound speakers(not a big deal, headphones), will all the accessories for 10.1 be for 8.9 like the dock or BT headset?

Touch wiz not a big deal...camera, ill use my phone why would u solely use a tab to take pics? you wouldnt...

the BT also was said in presentation to have a vibrating effect when u get calls, does that mean GT10.1 and 8.9 will both support that feature?

Just the little things make the difference...also

i would like to know which one feels better when using it or watching movies, or games, ect.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Srikar_NBK:
If the difference is 30$, I would blindly go with the 10.1 as it has a bigger screen
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thenewak:
thats a reasonable argument if you are worried about the price.

ill pay the extra 30 either way i just want to know which is easier to operate while holding it.

the screen size is a little important although if the display is nice 8.9 will do i had the 7in tab and it was ok with movies but it needed to be bigger and they both are so they r both considered.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Srikar_NBK:
I frankly feel an extra 1.2 inch diagonal increase in screen dimensions would not cause operational frustrations by any means :D

Also, I still don't understand why they need a 8.9 and 10.1 tablets, when both of them are nearly the same form factor devices. They might have avoided 8.9 and just redesigned the 7" to be thinner and release the new 7" and the 10.1.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
I'd generally agree, but the 8.9" and 10.1" are quite a bit different in size, the diagonal difference doesn't really do well to explain the actual square inches in screen real estate difference. Not to mention that the 8.9" is a full .30lb lighter (the weight diff is certainly all battery). Very noticeable at that weight im sure.

That being said, not sure who all would choose to get the 8.9" considering the $30 price difference.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
I am leaning 90% towards picking up 8.9".

Both 8.9" and 10.1" have

the same resolution 1280x800.

the same screen technology (PLS) <--- corrected :) Thanks StuMcBill

But, I like 8.9" because of the lighter weight and a bit smaller.

Of course, I would certainly wait complete reviews ... owner reviews ... to know exactly the ins and outs :)

As long as the 6000 mAH can maintain 10 hours video, that's fine with me :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] StuMcBill:
It's Super PLS AFAIK.

And I am being torn at the mo between 10.1 and 8.9, I will need to wait and see reviews and full confirmed specs before I decide.

Also, they haven't even been confirmed outside the US yet.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
From what I see in the press conference at CTIA, the 8.9 doesn't have a MicroSD slot. They specifically stated that only the 8.9 required an adaptor to their proprietary connector in order to plug in a MicroSD card.

For me this is a HUGE deal. The inclusion of MicroSD allows me to buy the $100 cheaper $499 16gb version of the 10.1 and add my own MicroSD card for cheaper than the $100 bump to a 32gb model.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] StuMcBill:
In the video here (http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/22/samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-and-new-galaxy-tab-10-1-thinner-than-the/) when she is doing a walkthrough of the ports on the 8.9", she says there is a MicroSD slot.

Looking at the picture from Engadget - it appears that the "Connection Kit" is to connect a Standard SD card. It actually says SD Card and the picture looks like a Standard card!

No Probs! :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
Well that's good to know. The adaptor for standard SD connections must be for camera connection etc.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] StuMcBill:
I wonder why its only for 8.9 though?

Pretty sure it will be hacked to work with the 10.1 though!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
Absolutely no idea. Doesn't make much sense.

Sent from my CM7-powered T-Mobile G2
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Looking into this ... I think this is USB Host functionality, or not?

User can put standard SD Card into this connection kit and attach it to the tab.

Then user can read / copy / work on the content (files).

If not, then whats the use? I don't get it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Magnesus:
I wonder why it's only for 8.9?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Bandage:
Having owned several 7" Tablets and a few 10" as well, 8.9 seems the perfect fit for my needs. Mind you, I'll still use a 7" as well...it's just a matter of situational usage. 10.1" is just too awkward in most cases for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
And the 8.9" is only 1lb. Which is a huge difference from the 1.33lbs of the 10.1". And they both offer the same battery life.

You need to install the Amazon Market app to begin with. But IMO is well worth the free d/l. :)

[Captivate General] RobbAllen:
All,

Noob here as far as Android goes. I picked up a Galaxy S Captivate a few months ago from AT&T and I got a notification saying Froyo was available. Of course, Samsung made it near impossible to do, so I figured "I'm a computer programmer, I can do these kinds of things".

Using Odin, I put on a version of Froyo. It was... not a good ROM by far (I didn't know all the great ones were here) and after the 4th or 5th random crash, I decided to try something different. However, at one point the phone bricked. I was finally able to get Odin to push back 2.1 Eclair (the stock AT&T version), but since then, I get a "SIM Network Unlock Pin" prompt. I followed the instructions to grab the unlock code from the bml3.back file, but it doesn't work. I've tried upgrading to various Froyo's, but they don't work either. AT&T tried a new SIM card, but that didn't work.

At this point, my Android abilities are done. I have no idea how to fix my phone. AT&T can't help and of course, Samsung will charge me for a repair (I have no idea how much that is).

Can anyone think of a way to get rid of the SIM Network Unlock PIN thing? This is a legitimate phone on a legit plan. The Continuum 3.5 Froyo runs great, it just can't see my SIM Network card and a phone without that is...well, bunk ;)

Thanks for the help, I wish I could retrace all my steps but I was an idiot and didnt write it all down.

[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I have never heard of anyone overcoming a lost PIN issue without completely reformatting the phone and reinstalling a ROM.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Try flashing a new 2.2 rom and using the froyo unlock method in the dev section (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831569).

Since you mentioned you're a programmer, I'm going to assume you're comfortable with adb. Make sure you back up /efs/ to your sd card, then again to your computer before you try it as rom flashes will typically not overwrite this partition. I suspect your nv_data.bin or some other part of your /efs partition is messed up, which is why flashing most roms won't fix it. I'm not sure if the one click stock odin will do anything, but it's also worth a shot if you haven't tried it yet.

There's also a backup of nv_data.bin in /efs, you can try copying that over your existing nv_data.bin and rebooting to see if it helps.

[Intercept General] snelan:
Hi guys, I just got my Intercept, and after following this video, my screen won't display anything. It's like the screen is not plugged in but the phone is on. It still makes noises and you can still feel it vibrating, the bottom and keyboard lights still come on. This happed after the point in the vid when the download finished and the phone restarted, except my phone didn't restart. It just sat there, doing nothing. I can't get into recovery mode, or download mode. When plugged in, the PC still recognizes the phone, but it isn't mounted so I can't access any files.

Is there anything I can do? Or is it completely bricked?
[Intercept General] dodgejcr:
No link to the vid. I have a good feeling what you did is used the file that came with SWUpdater instead of a file made for the intercept. Which means you have a samsung moment system on your phone. There is no known way to recover from this as it has happened to several. It isnt completely bricked no but it is a paperweight.

I found this a while ago and wanted to share it is and edited lib for the flash player that makes hulu think that your phone is a computer so you can watch hulu videos Make sure your browser has the setting for flash to always be on as opposed to on demand.

edit:you need a browser that can change your user agent like dolphin skyfire or xscope ect. set it to desktop/computer mode

Works on 2.2 and I use xscope browser should work for any browser. Dont know if it works on gingerbread it probably should . I'm using flash player 10.2 and it works fine

How-to

through root explorer

download and extract

libflashplayer.so.fix.10.1.105.7.zip

copy to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib and overwrite the original libflashplayer.so and adjust permissions to a upside down U (permission may not be necessary?)

[Android Themes] megaman 2:
Hi Guys,

I'm coming from Windows Mobile 6.5 where theming was a bit different:

When I started with 6.5 I used to think the only way to change the look of my phone interface was to flash a custom rom, but then I realized I could theme individual components (6.5 theme, Taskbar, Icons, Start Menu, ect) and it turned out to be pretty easy.

With Android I'm begining to think the opposite exists, is it basically true that in order for me to change the colors of the taskbar, or menus, taskbar icons - I have to use a custom rom?

I have been reading over these threads for the past three days and I have learned a lot, but I'm still confused...

I used to do M2D themes and change the xml and such, but when I read the Android theming guides ALL of it seems foreign to me...does't seem like I can just swap out pngs for pngs I made in Photoshop :o Am I making this seem more difficult than it is?

Are there individual themes for my taskbar, dialer, ect (not roms)? And if so can a former Windows Phone user explain them in comparison to installing a cab?

I know I have a ton of questions so any help at all would be appreciated

Thanks

There are MANY apps out there that will allow you to make these changes. Do some searches on the market and you'll find them. Do some research into rooting your phone (at your own risk) which will allow even more options.
[Android Themes] david1171:
You do not have to use a custom ROM to theme your phone, but it makes it a lot easier overall. AFAIK, you still have to have your phone rooted to theme more than icons.

To theme images, it really is just swapping out your images for the images already there as long as they contain the same dimensions, format (pretty much always .png), and name.

The .xml files are easiest to edit if you have decompiled the apk with a tool call apktool, because then they are in readable format.

Apktool is also really great for getting .9.png's in decompiled format with the stock guidelines intact.

You can theme various different components with an app called Metamorph or Ninjamorph, otherwise, you're going to have all your different parts together.

I've been theming android for getting close to two years now, so if you would like more help, you can PM/email (david1667jones gmail) me for more specific answers.
[Android Themes] jsmccabe78:
megaman - ain't it a trip coming from WM to android? yeah...WM seems such a simpler way. especially CHT2...that is really the best modding system ever.

been experimenting for the past 2-3 weeks and have been successful. (even have a usable CM7 theme that i may post...)

so let's hash this out. maybe teach eacho other a thing or two. if i am being too basic, let me know.

apk - like a cab. tricky thing is that (i believe) if you edit an apk, you replace the entire apk. unlike a cab where you can replace 1 single file. there are theme programs (metamorph - haven't used it, ADW and others that allow replacement with a single file...but they take a little work. nothing easy like cabs for WM.)

to begin you need 7zip (or winrar i hear works.) this will allow you to open apks, replace files and restore them in seconds:

http://www.7-zip.org/

i assume your rom is rooted (i really don't understand the term, but it allows freedom to mod your phone. i am using an HD2 - WM phone - running nand android so by default my phone is rooted.)

let's explore - take any apk and open it with 7zip. you will see 3 files (this is off of memory as i am at work right now.) open them and look around. ((want to find your installed apks and back them up? search market for Astro. (settings> backup and save your apks to your sd card)))

under res you will see drawable folders - this is the jackpot. in there you will see your images. there is a lot of redundancy in apks. the trick is finding the right image. try changing some, etc. this is the most basic of theming.

before moving on to xmls, etc (which there are quite good guides for this) just try the above. when you replace the files move up the folder hierarchy and it will ask you something about saving/restoring - cilck yes. the apk is now modded.

install the apk and see the changes.

however, if you are editing the core apks - system and framework-res, we will need to talk about how to do that (i use clockworkmod flashing...easy to do.)

let me know if this helps.
[Android Themes] megaman 2:
Thank you guys so much for your knowledge!

I do have my phone rooted and I have bootloader installed :)

The one reason I thought that I had to download a "ROM" is because I keep reading about having to be deodexed in order to modify...and I was underthe impression that most custom roms provide this deodexing?

on to APK's...I do have 7Zip and I have opened some up and found where the graphics are...now I am actually extracting the apk so I can manually go through each folder and see whats there including graphics...there does seem to be another way of opening the APK with 7Zip and not actually extracting it, but I don't thing I can actually see the image previews this way. >>>so I extract, change my desired images, re-zip and change the file extention back to .apk - BUT then I read about signing APK's? ...and signing zips?

After some researching I found a thread in which someone posted something like they make a copy of there current ROM "theme?" and then copy it in zip form on to their PC where they goe through all of the desired APKs and then Zip it back together and install it from the screen that you get to after holding the power button and home (recovery screen maybe?) <<< Anyway is this possible? This seem most like what we did in windows phone...but again I think where I'm getting caught up is the signing aspect...I've seen auto signers, but I feel like the ones I've seen were only for XP and I have Windows 7.

Woo... ok wrote a lot there - if you have anytime to elaborate on anything, I'd be happy to hear.

...and jsmccabe - that HD2 is one awesome device...I remember everybody asking if Windows 7 would everbe available and now you guys are dual booting with WP7 and Android - AWESOME!!! (if I didnt have Verizon :)
[Android Themes] jsmccabe78:
megaman...sorry it took a bit. "real life" and all that...

- not sure what deodexed means. is your rom cm7? if so, tmobile themes is an "easy" way to make a theme.

- are you theming to share or for yourself? if the latter just replace the the files in your rom and flashe the rom. if the former, what type of rom?

- you can extract to make life easier. but when you are ready to make the changes just drag the new icons into the original apk. it will update it for you and you can install it and done.

CWM themes are pretty easy to do. i started with this, the problem is it replaces the entire apk to replace 1 image. which if you are modifying systemui or frameworks, may overwrite other things (colors that you didn't want to.) easiest thing to do....find an already established CWM theme and keeping the same structure, replace the images and flash via CWM.

let me know if you want more details...cheers and good luck!
