[myTouch 3G Slide General] mylostlonelysoul:
I agree with most of what's been said. There really isn't much else we can do with the slide. With everything that's available to us, we have it, and that's about it. Since no one likes the mid-range of the slide and they all want the high-end awesomeness of the newer phones, the slide has few people to share their roms and themes.

I've had my slide since the very start of the slide era, and it is great with CM7 it does everything you want from a daily phone. I feel like I want something more tho, everything seems outdated with all of the new software and apps out there, we can't use them because of the slides hardware. Sad that's it's only been a year since it came out and it's outdated..tho I suppose launching the Galaxy S right after the slide launch just made it seem outdated weeks after.

As soon as I'm available for an upgrade in April I will be switching to a new phone; which I think most of us, who just want something more, are doing.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] pettigrew95:
I got my slide on June 4th 2010, the day it was available for customers. I have loved my slide since. I learned soooo much about the Android OS and its capabilities since owning my Slide. I absolutely love it and want to hang onto it for as long as possible. It does everything I need it to do and it does it fast. Doesn't Cyanogens wife have a slide? I would think he would continue devving for it until his wife switches phones. Just a thought :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] rubbachicken:
It is endlessly amusing to me that someone would rather buy a phone out right simply because development has stopped....

You know the point was for YOU to get involved... right?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dirtymindedx:
Listen I agree this is probably not the place for this but its a great place to voice my opinion to dev's which there is a huge shortage for this phone (this is my sole opinion). I have learned a ton from my slide. My first android phone was a maemo phone with a rigged android version on it. That made me want to get the slide because of android. I apologize if I offended people but just voicing my opinion on a topic that has been an ongoing discussion for many of us slide users.

Came across a Sena Leather Sleeve and a PDAir Leather sleeve, both really nice and thin for the xoom, but... the sena one for 39.99 is on backorder and the other one is just too expensive, and I would prefer something similar for a little cheaper. Anybody find anything else similar?

I saw something like you are describing on Amazon it was more of a flattened tube with a zipper on one end. Try doing a search on Amazon for zoom cases

[Xoom Accessories] Zargon335:
They changed the price to $59.99 for the Sena case. :mad: And it's still on backorder.

I like the look of the PDAir case better, but I think they raised the price too. I thought it showed $75 before, now it shows $99. :mad:
[Xoom Accessories] jlaw904:
The price of both of them raised today :eek: ! Geeez... looks like PDAir did add a couple different new styles though. I really want the horizontal pouch style.

Experia Arc is an amazing phone launched with gingerbread so any devs out there willing to port miui rom to xperia arc are welcomed...thanks in advance
[Xperia Arc General] :
Arc is not even rooted yet.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Not even released everywhere yet. At least some of our Dev. living in europe and needs more time to collect people here.
[Xperia Arc General] mavster:
It has been released in Japan.

It all depends on the bootloader.....that being said, since "Usually" phones released in Japan will also be offered in China I do not see why the MIUI developers will not look into it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n7of9:
yesterday i decided to finally read up on what rooting and flashing is, and I DID IT...i now have CM7 RC2 with the Honeycomb music app (not bad for a 40 year old chick who was just looking for something to so)

1. do i need to update my Radio if my calls work ok? (the radio is for calls? yes?)

2. i thought rooting would give me access to my phone's root directory, but it hasn't...is there a way to do this?

3. would the root/flash CM7 process have cleared my phone's app storage, or is it possible i still have leftover shiz from my previous stock 2.2?

4. moving apps to SD seems to do nothing other than tell me the apps are on SD..the DiskUsage app still tells me that the moved apps are taking up just as much space as if they hadn't been moved, and on a Desire, i am left with VERY little space...any ideas?

5. i don't know which visual parts of my 'new' phone are from CM7, ADW, or from an independent theme i have installed...is there a way to colourise menus? the phone system is B&W for me at the moment

6. AdFree, doesn't block ads, is there a way to actually be ad free?

7. how do i take screenshots (for no reason other than to know how to do it)

thanks you guys :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevAmiga:
1. do i need to update my Radio if my calls work ok? (the radio is for calls? yes?)

Post your radio version here... it helps :)

2. i thought rooting would give me access to my phone's root directory, but it hasn't...is there a way to do this?

Are you S-ON or S-OFF? With S-ON you still only have access to certain parts of the phone when in recovery... maybe this is what you mean?

3. would the root/flash CM7 process have cleared my phone's app storage, or is it possible i still have leftover shiz from my previous stock 2.2?

If you nandroid backup then wipe / flash a rom everything will be lost, but obviously you can restore using nandroid... (as long as you backed up!)

7. how do i take screenshots (for no reason other than to know how to do it)

If your rooted, type screen grab into the market place, there's a few free apps to do this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
Also for adfree to work you have to be S-OFF...

thanks guys

@KevAmiga

1. radio...is it called "baseband version"? i have 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

!! scratch that, i just realised the zip file for the updated radio is called "bravo.5.11.05.27", so i guess it's the same one

2. i have s-off...i think i will leave it for now, i read the AlphaRev instructions and find them too vague

3. i don't want to back up, i wanted to make sure i was working with maximum space and didn't have leftovers from my stock 2.2...i have since installed Simple2Ext and have far more app space, so i will be ok with that for now (i've had it a whole 5 minutes!)

7. thanks :)

@00droid...thanks for the info, i will uninstall AdFree...and i had found that AlphaRev link, but the instructions are too vague for me
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevAmiga:
If your S-Off leave it that way... :)

With regards to the backup, thats only used if you need to go back to the stock ROM, its stored on the SD card but isnt in the same place the apps, rom go etc so it wont affect your "device space" :)

They got the thunderbolt rooted, but every file is locked and signed. ;(
[EVO 4G General] LoveisPeace2012:
I can't believe this I thought HTC would never do this to the community!
[EVO 4G General] kingdazy:
ouch. thats grim.
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
Honestly, I'd be very surprised if the Evo 3D was locked down like this. I'm willing to bet that Verizon asked them to make it this way, and they complied.

Sprint, on the other hand, hasn't been the type of company to try to keep everything locked down and make it harder for the dev community. Big V definitely has, as exemplified by the Droid X.

Besides, even if it does come out all locked down like that, the devs here will have it opened up within a few days.
[EVO 4G General] kingdazy:
that would have been my next question, if V had requested this setup specifically.

it would seem the "other companies" are oh-so-bunched-up re: tethering w/o a plan, being the big issue with custom ROMs. Sprint might not be as concerned (so far) about that, and thus, not concerned about rooted phones? idk... idle speculation
[EVO 4G General] abduljaffar:
No surprise here. After all, they did cripple their gpus for over 4 years. This is nothing. Htc = garbage.
[EVO 4G General] TonyArmstrong:
Hoping that this is just because of douche-baggery on Verizon's part -- that they requested the phone be totally locked down, like the Moto products that they are selling.

On the other hand, the devs only took three days to break all that ****, so perhaps it's a case of "anything you can do, we can do better," and HTC/Verizon's efforts will meet with utter #FAIL.
[EVO 4G General] kingdazy:

[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
Am I the only one thinking: so what?

So I can't jack sense... That will do nothing to stop me from replacing the files with a CM ROM. Signing the files doesn't prevent the replacing of files...

Swyped from my pants, I'll let you figure out how.
[EVO 4G General] psych2l:
Engadget is usually slow with these updates, they've already gotten around this issue. Thunderbolt is as open as it can get :D

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...orkmod-recovery-loaded-rom-floodgates-opened/
[EVO 4G General] fenixjn:
I think it does. I remember back when we were starting to flashing ROMs... well they had to be signed in order to be installed or the recovery program would outright refuse to put it on the phone. I guess the implication on this is that even the recovery image itself must be signed in order to install as well as the ROMs. Now, with the EVO, the recovery part does not care if the ROM zip file is signed or not (well, RA has this setting disabled so it will flash regardless) but there was one point where any file that needed to be flashed on the device needed to be signed.
[EVO 4G General] Rydah:
Yay!!!
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
I highly doubt it is even possible for any company to completely lock out android hackers. We have some of the most knowledgeable hackers in our community, some of whom have been around for many many years and have seen there share of OS's

They can slow us down, but they can never stop us.

If they do manage to stop us then I shall move to windows 7 :D (highly unlikely)

[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
According to some of the comments it is the same old locked bootloader as the evo and incredible. I doubt HTC will try that hard to lock them down.

heck, sometimes I wonder if they give hints about security holes on purpose. Just the other day I saw something in one of the new ROM leaks that gave me some ideas :)
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
as long as the phones can receive over the air updates... they can be hacked ;)
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
ummm that's a line of BS. the atrix for example, locked bootloader tighter than a virgin.

[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
You know you can sign a zip when you make it, right? Most of the ROMs released on this very forum are signed.

All signing does is guarantee the file hasn't been tampered with .... think of it as having a stamped MD5 hash. It does nothing to prevent you from making a new signed file.
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
No it's not. It's common sense.

If some app running on Android can replace the files, there sure is heck a way to replace the files in another manner.

The only way to completely lock a phone out would be to place it on read-only media so it can't be updated at all. And that would be ridiculous on so many levels I think we are safe.

YUP. And likely to get the update right around the time of the EVO3D release. Likely a little after since they can bait more people into getting the EVO3D and then roll the update to the OG EVO.

I actually would recommend against Launcher 7 though. My phone is Motorola Milestone and using Launcher 7 really depletes the phone's RAM. It starts out fine and all, but after a period of usage, like 4 hours, it slows down significantly and lags the whole phone.

Simply it's the best rom combination to be the most stable rom i have ever used and now am using it daily with no problems :-

(you may find it difficult but i swear u will be very happy with the results just give it a try)

Download rom:-

http://www.multiupload.com/T589I4WUX9

__________________________________________

Installation ...

1- Create (ext2) partation on your card ...

like in this video....

http://www.neopeek.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=146

2- Copy contents from the rar file to SD card ...

3- Open folder npkinstall and run install.exe

4- After restart open haret.exe normaly ...

5- download better keyboard from attachements and put it in ur androidapps folder in sd card

__________________________________________

you must do this to make ur button work and to be able to restart it by one press

open terminal emulator then type the following :-(press enter when u write the letters in each line)

su
mkdir /data/opt
cp /sdcard/autostart.sh /data/opt
chmod 755 /data/opt/autostart.sh

Then install autostart.apk (found in the rom source folder)

When your buttons stop functioning, you have to run a script from GScript that reinstalls the modules so they work once more. Perform these steps:

Install GScript.apk

Open GScript Lite and press <menu> button, then <add script>

Press the <Load file> button.

The script you need is located autmatically and is called "XPEROID Gscript Button restarter script.sh"

Select it and then in the new screen press <Save>

You can now return to your homescreen and add a shortcut to the script so you can reset your buttons easily. To do this do the following:

Press <menu> and then <add> to add widgets.

Select <shortcut> from the list and then locate and select <GScript Lite>

Then select the "XPEROID Gscript Button restarter script" and you now have a shortcut on your homescreen to reset your buttons.
