[Epic 4G Accessories] dchawk81:
Cool. Thanks for that. How does it fit around the edges? Is it precise?

I'm OCD and my generic eBay cover bugs the heck out of me because it doesn't follow the phone perfectly. Hah
[Epic 4G Accessories] stir fry a lot:
It took about three days to come from Colorado to Berkeley. No shipping confirmation was sent so don't get worried if you don't hear anything from Mugen.
[Epic 4G Accessories] stir fry a lot:
It fits great. I'm OC too and spent an extra 20 minutes shaving it down so that everything was nice and tight. I took off maybe 1/16" off when all was said and done. I'll post pics of it once I get home.
[Epic 4G Accessories] dchawk81:
Thanks. I placed my order the other day. Do you still like it?
[Epic 4G Accessories] stir fry a lot:
It was a little too much for me to be carrying around as a daily driver. I didn't mind it with my Pre but the Epic was just too big for my preference. I'm keeping it around for roadtrips however incase I need some intensive GPS usage. I ended up going back to the stock battery and lucked out when my phone bricked on Vision's 1.2 kernel. The sales rep at Sprint was nice and slipped me a spare battery. The girth of the extended battery cover definitely made typing a little easier so I ordered a protective case off ebay. Some guy is selling the same (supposedly) cases that Sprint sells for dirt cheap. They're the ones made by Otterbox. I picked it up for $7 shipped.
[Epic 4G Accessories] dchawk81:
So for you it's a size issue, not fit or finish?
[Epic 4G Accessories] stir fry a lot:
Yeah, fit and finish are perfectly fine. Expect to be shaving for a loong time. I think a pocketknife will work best.
[Epic 4G Accessories] dchawk81:
I just received mine about an hour ago. Interestingly, the fit & finish is fine as you said but I had to put a spacer inside...not dig it out. I cut a business card in quarters, folded one of them in half then taped it inside.

I don't know if that's because of my batteries being eBay cheapies, or variance in the cover.

My only real complaint is how tight it is once it's on. Those little tabs make removal extremely difficult. Folks who never or rarely change batteries might consider that a good thing.
[Epic 4G Accessories] DCRocks:
Same here, it seemed a little loose, and when I shut my KB to hard, the phone reset. Took me a while to trace it back to the loose battery, as I didnt notice it for the most part until I went to check my phone and it was off

Ditto!

Yah, I use my license to slip under and edge to get it off the back, but it sure is a PITA otherwise.

Overall, I LOVE it (once I fixed the looseness of the battery)

I really enjoy the way it feels when typing now, and I love the extra protection the camera lens now gets
[Epic 4G Accessories] dchawk81:
Haha I got one of those plastic screwdriver tools from Dell with a replacement keyboard and use that to take the cover off. It's annoying but I'm hoping it'll work the cover a bit looser over time to eventually be hand removable.
[Epic 4G Accessories] SadieNibblesworth:
Seidio works

After using the second revision of the Seidio extended life battery, and having abused the *&#^ out of the cover, I can say that it will last at least six months, if you get the second revision. The first one I ordered from Amazon.com had to be replaced after a few weeks because the clips that attach to the Epic's body wore down.

Seidio has hard angles. Mugen does not. Mugen makes everything consistently thicker. Seidio leave more room at the top, and I find that the cover does not get in the way of the camera as much.

I have friends who swear by Mugen, whereas I swear by Seidio. Overall, Seidio's support (and Amazon's,) is great. I have heard no complaints from friends who use Seidio. I have little to no information on Mugen's, although after reading about their manufacturing processes and quality control, I am going to stick with Seidio. The revision 2.0 of their extended life Epic battery has ALL JAPANESE cells.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lnxpowa:
So Im wondering if this is a general bug or just me:

I am running stock gingerbread installed by OTA, and the stock messaging app. The thing is when I try to delete a thread, it deletes all the messages in the thread but then it doesnt delete the thread itself, instead it just leaves the thread hanging there with no messages and I cant find a way to delete it... :mad:

Before the OTA this didnt happen, so Im wondering if this is a bug with the gingerbread stock messaging app or some glitch from the update?!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarshadd:
Could it be something to do with the cache?

Try restarting your phone, or deleting cache?

I've long pressed>delete thread and had the whole entire thread remain, but after deleting it a second time it actually gets deleted...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lnxpowa:
First of all thanks for the input! :)

I've rebooted the phone a couple times (mostly because I ran out of battery :P) and still no go.

I've also tried deleting it over and over again, and still no go!

When you say delete cache, which cache do you mean exacly? Because on the applications menu I dont get an active clear cache button for the messaging app, just a clear data (which Im afraid will delete my message settings or even my messages)...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarshadd:
I just checked, on my phone and your right, cache isn't an option.

Clearing app data probably will delete everything too.

Idk, sorry.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lnxpowa:
So I deleted all of my message threads by using the "delete threads" option in the messaging app menu, and now I am able to delete the new threads!

Must have been some issue with importing the threads from 2.2.2... weird!
[Galaxy Tab General] cyrex78:
Hi guys i have a Uk unlocked galaxy tab, i flashed to different firmware then by looking through the net i managed to revert it back to the original firmware JJ3.

However i lost 2 icons and i couldnt get it back even after successful flash to the original firmware, these icons were samsung movies, samsung games.

So please i need some help as i need to download the games before the code expire!

I managed to download the movies, but i cant find a link to make me able to download the games.

Any idea is appreciated
[Galaxy Tab General] Archer:
The games are just on the gameloft site. You just use the voucher code on there.

Hurry up - only today left!!! :)
[Galaxy Tab General] cyrex78:
Thank u for the reply i managed to get the games from the T-mobile website supplied with the codes.
[Nook Color General] yocalif:
Yo all, first post here, thanks for this forum and all that has come from it.

My wife's Nookcolor is stock NOT rooted.

We want to transfer files from PC or Laptop to the NC without using USB - sideload. So I setup a little HTTP file server HFS (google to find it I can't post links)

which works great for PCs to transfer files easily over the internet.

Problem I can connect through the Nookcolor browser to the HFS server on my PC, but when I try to download I get

------

<Unknown>

68.111.111.250 (fake ip)

Download unsuccessful

------

I can download files via laptop connect to same HFS no problem.

I can download files via Nookcolor from internet websites no problem.

Google search shows a lot of people complaining about same issue, but I don't see any solutions especially for a Stock Nookcolor.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] roshga:
Hey all.

Coming from Axura made me miss the transparent dialer of Master's rom.

This MOD is for SuperAosp ROM only!

I've made some changes on the Contacts and Phone apks, made the Dialer & Contacts screen transparent and Phone answer/decline icons back to stock icons,

I've followed Master's Theming so I take no credit for doing nothing more then Copy&Paste.

Installation:

1. Download the attached apks to c:\ (for example)

2. open CMD window where your adb is installed

3. type in CMD window:

adb push c:\Phone.apk /system/app
adb push c:\Contacts.apk /system/app
adb reboot

*If someone can make those apks a flashable zip I'd appreciate it :D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fleischbanane:
Can you also make it for CM7 RC4?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] navlem:

[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
i have to use my upgrade or i loose it in two days. would the evo shift be a huge downgrade to my evo? im asking because there are no other worthy upgrades right now on sprint.

i figure ill use the shift until the nexus comes out then sell both evo's for it.
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
Hell no! Unless you think screen size is a downgrade which it isn't.. same type just smaller. The processor is better then evo.. kb sucks tho.you can Oc to 1.5 stable .sexy

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
[EVO 4G General] jstalford:
If you're just going to sell it, you could always upgrade, then reactivate your Evo and put Shift back in the box and keep it in mint condition so you get the most money.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
even used i can easily get $300 each for both evo's. that should be more than enough for the nexus s.
[EVO 4G General] Tahde:
Its a great phone for replacing my Hero. My EVO or my Epic, the Shift wouldn't of stood a chance. :D
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
Just use the upgrade sell a phone and put out in a bank. Wait 10 months to get the evo 3d with a mature development. EVO was boring first 4 months.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
It also has a better GPU.
[EVO 4G General] MILH0U5E:
Couldn't you get the shift, keep it mint, and exchange it for the nexus s? That's if it comes out on April like they mentioned.
[EVO 4G General] sftd:
I bought one for a friend of mine and helped him root/rom it. I actually loved the keyboard, felt great to me. In fact, I haven't used many slide out KB phones, but the only one I've used better than it is on my Arrive.

Which brings up the point, why not grab an Arrive Fixx? I've had tons of fun with mine so far, and you'd have the best of both worlds OS wise.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
ive heard wp7 becomes very boring, very fast though. probably because it's still a baby.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Yea, I would definitely get it.

Can't you use the upgrade online and let them send it to you? Then you can just not activate it and re-sell it?

I am strongly strongly considering the Nexus S myself. With all the rumors of HTC locking their phones down .. I think I'm going to move on to nothing but pure google phones.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
I thought you were going with the htc arrive?

And on the htc locking their phones down note, cyanogen and friends been tweeting about it all day he's pretty upset lol. This breaks my heart htc why....why....:-(

Nexus s anyone?
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Definitely. Sad thing to see HTC do, but the rooting community is only a small portion of sales so I doubt our impact will be felt.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Cyanogen users total to maybe around 250,000 I know its a small community in all but sheesh. I didn't catch the reasoning behind them(htc) doing it did you?
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
I have no idea. I don't know if it's 100% true either. I can only read rumors on websites, but if CM is upset about it, then I would think there is something to it.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Definitely pissed, he said let's all move to Samsung or Sony Ericsson since they will have unlocked bootloaders. Cyanogen is like our dad, if he says let's all switch to sammy its done. Look lol
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
I don't see all of his tweet for some reason.. maybe it's because I use the official twitter app?

Anyway, bad move on HTCs part. I see the Nexus S in my future.. just not as much of an upgrade over the EVO as the Evo 3D would have been.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
nah... i decided against the arrive after seeing many mixed reviews. as far as evo3d i hate the look of it. the nexus s will for sure be my next phone. im debating if i will get the shift tonight or tomorrow. ill be ordering it on best buy online and pick it up in the store.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
you will be better off with a pure google phone anyways. the nexus will get all updates and roms first.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
True, nexus s is in my future I guess. My upgrade isn't until September of this year, by the time I get my nexus it might be pushing itself to be outdated I believe. Hopefully other phones will be around. Have fun with your shift I hear that thing can definitely hold its own.
[EVO 4G General] heathmcabee:
Damnit man, just when I was thinking of buying the Evo3d on launch day, I think I'll wait out and see if they do encryption.
[EVO 4G General] SharkUW:
Why would you lose your upgrade?
[EVO 4G General] jstalford:
Google sprint premier gold and silver.

Force close LP. Then with Root Explorer or Super Manager delete the following folder: /dbdata/databases/com.fede.launcher

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny quest:
ok I just read about the release about the SPB Shell UI and its on the market but I don't see it on the market on my Eris. Its says that it works on 2.1 but I don't understand why its not reading on my market.

Maybe its not ment to be run on the Eris is this correct?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
I think it requires more hardware. Based on the SPB web site, it requires "OpenGL ES 2.0 compatible GPU" - and I think that leaves the Eris out.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benz0076:
I searched the forum but i cannot find the answer.

I would like to make an xrecovery zip file off the rom i use.

Is this possible and how.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gil2004xp:
You can create a nandroid backup instead using Backup and Restore in xRecovery :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrHassell:
Titanium Backup for single files.

You can also grab the files that you need to push as an update via Titanium backup. It creates an update.zip with a few files inside that you can extract to another phone if you like...

Nandroid backups are made with xRecovery for the Xperia models. It will give you three files and a checksum file, these can be added to a zip file if you like and restored using xRecovery.

I've found a good article on XDA located here on the subject. It's not specific to the X10 or Xperia models but you might find it worth reading ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreatBigDog:
I'm not a Dev but this is what I'd do if I wanted to make an update zip of the changes I've made to the Rom installed on my phone. Before you try it, just remember that I could be wrong on this and if your going to create your own package, try it on your own phone before releasing it for public use.

First thing to do would be to extract the files from any ROM update package, but preferably the one that your currently installed one is based on.

If you open the zip file there will be two or more folders. One will be system and the other META-INF. If you drill down through the META-INF folder to the bottom of the folder structure you'll find a file called "update-script" This is the script that XRecovery uses when it updates your phone and you can easily read what's being done.

Eg:

format DATA:
format CACHE:
format SYSTEM:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

And it would continue on with more after that.

The script is formating the Data, Cache, and system partitions on the phone in preparation for installing the new Firmware. It is then copying the contents of the System folder included in the package to the system partition on the phone. The rest after that is setting up symbolic links and setting directory permissions.

If you use ADB to pull the /system folder from you phone, that would be the equivalent of the system folder that is included in the update package.

md system
adb pull /system system

You could, if you wanted, just replace the system folder in the update package zip with the system folder that you just pulled from your phone and you would have a packaged ROM.

If you wanted to include apps in the package that are not in the /system/app folder you would need to pull the apps that you wanted to include from the /data/app

md data\app
adb pull /data/app data\app

You would then add the data folder to the rom package so that you would then have three folder instead of two.

data

META-INF

system

After that change the the beginning of the update-script file to look something like this

format DATA:
format CACHE:
format SYSTEM:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:

After your all done use something like 7zip to zip everything back up using no compression "Store Only" and you should have a XRecovery installable ROM.

NOTE:

If you have paid apps and are making this ROM for anybody other than yourself to use, make damn sure that you remove them from the /data/app folder before zipping everything up into a package. Including paid apps in your ROM is Warez and won't be tolerated anywhere.

I am really excited to try out reading some magazines on my nook, but even when I was stock I didn't find a whole lot I liked on their subscriptions. So my question to this awesome community is where can I find other magazines on the net? Although I'm looking for legal solutions, I will take all advice!

I'd like it to where when a new issue comes out, I am notified (even if only via email).

I've tried EGMi (flash based) which works great on there until you try to turn pages and stuff, in which it messes up. Other interactive magazines like this would be awesome!

so I guess what I'm asking is are there any other websites other than amazon.com and B&N.com that offer digital magazine subscriptions?
