NightFalcon, if you look at my first response in this thread, my only criticism was that you didn't mention the more involved installation routine required to run CM7. I didn't expect you to go into detail about how to do it, but at least mention it since this appears where so many who try and fail with CM7, mess up and then end up in here looking for help. Other than that, I thought your review was fine.

Roof King nailed it. If you really want to get a feel for a ROM and its plusses and potential minuses, read the Developer's ROM thread and Q&A sticky (if it has one) and see what problems users are having and how they've been resolved, if at all. That's a way better method than starting a thread of opinions where mainly that ROM's faithful are likely to reply more than any detractors and are even more likely to gloss over any of the issues.

CM7 Inspire 4G
[Captivate General] cumanzor:
The problem people have with you is that you come up in an incredibly defensive way. You are making the argument that CM7 is, in it's current state, bad and unusable, which is FAR from the truth. The major issues right now are posted all over the CM7 thread, if people flash it and then later complain because they didn't take the time to read, it's nobody's problem.

Oh brother, you don't know your audience do you. People who frequent these threads are in the majority of cases power users who want to get the most out of their phones.

Let me put it is this way, maybe it will be easier to get this through. CM7, in it's current state, works great, BUT, there are a few things missing, and you can work around some of them. In my experience, these are the biggest problems:

* Sharing the external SD card. Workaround: Use a software or app that gives you access to /. That way you can transfer files between the emmc and your PC. For instance, I usually just use SwiFTP to transfer file, and it allows me to access /emmc/ so I can transfer files to the external SD card.

* Camera: This is the only point in which I would agree with you. If you rely heavily on this camera, this ROM is not for you yet.

* Battery: Some people report subpar battery life compared to other ROMs, but my battery life was never that good anyways, even with Cognition + a heavily UV'd configuration.

What other problems do you have? Stability? I receive the exact same amount of FCs I would get in any other phone, that is.

You see, your problem is that you base this "CM7 is bad" accusation on nothing, against many of us that have using it for a while.

You haven't used CM then. As I said, if the points I mentioned above really bother you, this ROM is not for you. The main reasons why people would want CM over any other ROM available is because of the levels of customization and control it grants you, things like lock screen time outs, custom auto brightness levels, and so on. Things that are not available in Samsung based roms. Gingerbread is not just a nice theme or a shutdown animation put on top of 2.2.

Plus, some people just dislike TouchWiz, plain and simple. And if you didn't know, every Samsung based ROM, that is, every ROM in the Dev section other than CM and MIUI, is running on the TW framework. And some people just want a purely AOSP experience. I'm not in either group to be honest.

I'm not defending CM, I'm sure they couldn't care less about what people say about them. I'm sure as **** they don't care about people defending them either. I'm posting this, because you complain about how people bash you, when you probably deserve being bashed anyways.

BTW, I hope you guys are aware of the difference between a ROM cooker and an actual developer.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I'm not going to respond to everything in your post, because I really don't care. The above is aimed at me personally, so I'll waste a little time replying. First off, I've never said CM7 is bad or unusable. I've said it was flawed, lacking or not ready for primetime, depending on individual usage and expectations. Many CM7 users have confirmed as much. Maybe in your world a functioning camera is not important, but to most cell phone owners it would be unthinkable not to have one no matter how pretty the OS. Still, lots of people are convinced that they have to at least try CM7, including people who shouldn't even be flashing ROMs yet. That's the power of the latest and greatest, we want to be so cutting edge that we let it blind us to the potential pitfalls. That's on them, but then they end up in here flooding the forums with tales of woe, and usually in the wrong places (there's a freaking CM7 sticky!). That is not nobody's problem, it is everybody's problem as we are all responsible for helping to make this forum run smoothly. The mods can't do it all. I appreciate all the work the devs do to help us get the most out of our phones. I also think the forums are what we make them and just as helping someone with a problem is a benefit, so is trying to keep someone from having a problem. Maybe more so, since someone not having a problem has no need to post for help.;)
[Captivate General] cumanzor:
The camera is actually working, the app is just not as good as Samsung's one, and some say the pictures are not as good either but I honestly haven't compared them. There is no 720p recording, but this is far from a deal breaker for some users. It's not "OMG GUYS, THIS ROM IS AWWWFUL" deal.

The only way for people to learn is to actually try doing it. They can read the instructions, and the warnings, and read the threads to see possible problems. I would rather educate them than tell them "Oh no you are just a noob, gtfo". People come here looking for a better experience with their phones. Samsung fails with their stock OS, for the most part, if the devs and cookers didn't wan't people everywhere to use their stuff, they wouldn't be posting it in the first place.

I do agree that people should try to investigate before doing anything and search if something happened.... BUT, if no one asks questions, then there is nothing to look for.

And if you don't care about the rest of my post, then stop preaching about what people should or shouldn't do with their phones.

Is there an app for the Xoom that lets you fill in forms? Adobe Reader doesn't allow it :(
[Xoom Themes and Apps] funnycreature:
I can't really give you a positive response but the following three programs don't allow filling an Adobe 9 form either:

Documents To Go (paid)

Picsel Smart Office (paid)

Quick Office HD (incl w/ Xoom)

Did you try a market search?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dragonzsoul:
yup.. i did, thanks for the heads up though!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Isun:
Repligo does what you need.

Repligo is the only .PDF reader that also allows you to draw/write free hand in a file that I found after searching for 5 days. I purchased it ($4.99) and figured it would be worth it because now I can take digital contracts to all clients and have them signed and copies emailed to them in minutes. If you search youtube for Repligo you will also see a full video explanation of the features.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] funnycreature:
Free hand is not exactly the same as filling out forms but it's a start. Thanks for the info! Hopefully companies will discover the value of the android tablet market soon.

I don't want to point out the obvious but if you have a scanner and printer then print the page outfill it in and scan it back to the computer... I think you could also print the page and scan it back in the computer under a different format so you could type it then do what you got to do
[Xoom Themes and Apps] JanetPanic:
Think of PDF forms as being in the same space as HTML forms. You have discrete fields with the ability to have logic and calculations in Adobe's version of javascript. Handwriting over it or printing out negates the whole point of making it an Acrobat form.

I was told that the Adobe app supported forms but I have not tried it, so the person I was talking with was probably mistaken. I think Adobe themselves would be the most likely to support form elements in a standalone manner (i.e. not using the Acrobat Forms Server, or whatever they call it now).
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dragonzsoul:
thanks for all the replies. i wanted to use my xoom for work and have clients fill out forms via the PDF.

I have checked the threads, cant seem to find any that fit my problem.

So I have now bought 2 different cards, an 8gb and a 4 gb, neither register in the phone as even being installed. Turn the phone off, plug the card in, turn the phone on, check file explorer, no memory card, check memory allocation thing in settings, it says no memory card installed, what exactly am I doing wrong? Please help as this is supposed to be a present for someone, but its useless if I cant get storage on the device. If anyone has a suggestion, or knows where to buy an official or decent card guaranteed to work, please tell me and link it or something. Thankyou all.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cylonious:
Hi Guys

I'm new to these forums and new to attempting to flash my phone with a Android 2.2 Rom. Before I can do that however I need to flash MAGLDR 1.13 but I am having problems. I am booting the phone holding down the down volume to go into the bootloader. I hook up the USB cable and it goes into USB mode. I have the MAGLDR folder on my computer desktop which I go into then run the ROMupdateUtility.exe file. I go through ticking the required box's then click on the update. It goes through and the phone goes to the black screen with the HTC and the % bar. This then just sits on 0%. Eventually on the PC I get an Error 276 and the software goes into recovery mode. I get this same problem if I attempt to do this while the phone is on as normal and not in the bootloader. I have AVG disabled but still get the same error/problem.

My phone is locked into the Telstra network in Australia so I'm not sure if this affects this or not but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Sharing transparent current widget mod

small changes ive made are: orange icon when charging & green when its not charging (the stnd version is opposite of this)

also changed the update now button

everything else works as it should & this is from the current version in the market.

feel free to help yourselves, or not, your choice. :)

On Charge:

Not on Charge:

V0.26mod2 (green & orange charge icons)

(note: the standard version has a

white charge icon when not chaginging)

EDIT:

Current widget was updated today, finally added a transparency option, however this changes the layout,

so ive added v0.26 for those of you that may not want to change the layout.

I've been an Opera user on desktop since before I was on Android so I was bummed to find out it didnt yet have flash support. Months and months of using Dolphin Browsers waiting for Opera to get flash with no updates or blog posts about it was starting to make me think the.project got abandoned. Well.. just opened up Market and there it is. Some changes include flash support and ui changes. Just thought id alert all the other opera fans incase you didn't know.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Alex9090:
Thank you for that. I ve been waiting for that for long time too. Opera mini on older java enabled phones is awesome so is opera desktop on computer.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] YMark:
I've never been a fan of Opera Mobile, doesn't render pages very well and has a bunch of other quirks. I'll probably check it out though.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] regP:
Been messing with with since I posted this and the first thing I noticed is the UI is gorgeous. Pages seem to render properly and on large pages most of the content is already viewable while the rest loads. Also the scrolling is still smooth even while loading finishes. SO awesome to finally have my bookmarks and speeddail back.

Also I noticed the browser does use significantly more memory than others. I didn't notice any lag with my phone will opera sat in the background though.

YouTube videos play on the full site smoother than I've seen on any other android browser.

Now I need to try it with Turbo mode on.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] YMark:
What is the big difference(s) between Opera Mobile and Opera Mini? I see that Mini was just updated to 6.0.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] regP:
Opera mobile renders pages client side and you have access to your bookmarks. And now has flash.

Opera mini renders server side. And if I remember correctly you can only save bookmarks to your opera account but can't get full access to your bookmarks.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MilkPudding:
It's definitely my favorite browser now.

I've used Dolphin (HD & Mini), Firefox, xScope, Miren, Skyfire and Boat Browser but Opera Mobile 11 suits me the most. It's simple, beautiful yet very fast and functional.

For those who don't want pages to be compressed, just turn off Opera Turbo. You have a choice to let it render server side or locally.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
ive always been a dolphin fan...but it is very bloated, and can be laggy.

opera lacks features, but is very lightweight and extremely speedy.

just upgraded my opera version and right away, upon opening, the UI looks so much sleeker. my only complaint as of now is not being able to set a homepage. like looking at google right when i open my browser

also, theres no "exit" button......i want the option of either pressing the "home" button and leaving my browser open in the background, or clicking exit so my browser completely shuts down.

EDIT: one more gripe....cant add bookmark shortcuts to homescreen or folders

------

i know it sounds like im being overly negative, but dont read too much into it. im seriously ocnsidering dropping dolphin for this. which says a lot cause ive only used dolphin since i started using android altogether. im just sharing observations and *****ing out loud :).....still a fantastic browser!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] regP:
I think the lack of a homepage is to promote the speeddail. I too wish for a exit button but since the task manager is only a long press away its not that big of a deal to me.
