These phone companies are really letting their greed and hubris show. Why are there no laws to protect consumers from corporate abuse? Oh right, because the corporations write the laws!

Well, the speed where I was (my job) was pretty horrible. Took like literally more than 5 minutes to download about 1.2MBs. Now Sprint doesn't have the WiMax in the area yet, so that might change.

I agree with you about Verizon getting greedy, and generally becoming unfriendly with their customers, which is why I was thinking about changing carriers in the first place. AT&T is obviously out because they are the wort carrier in the country (I've dealt with them before, so I'm saying that from experience). T-Mobile is out because they are now AT&T.

I get my last new-every-2 in October. So I guess it all depends on who has what phone and what the plans look like at the time.

I'm looking forward to the DROID Bionic...
[Droid 2 General] nmh5001:
Yes, clearly prices are going up and data use is being more regulated by cell companies because they're greedy MFers. It has absolutely nothing to do with the nationwide migration from simple flip phones to full HTML browsing, iheartradio streaming, megabyte app downloading smartphones that use far more bandwidth than anything available even 5 years ago. Bid Red and the other big four (Soon to be big three. I'm going to miss the T-Mobile girl.) can't possibly be asking for more money for data services to expand their networks and speed up their service to keep the rapidly increasing base of smartphone users happy.

I wish I'd been around 30 years ago when things were different with common people vs big corporations. I wonder what changed in the past 30 years ago to make things so anti-people.

Yeah my last new every two is next month, and my contract with Verizon ends in September. I don't plan on upgrading right away. I'm gonna let all this play out and see how I feel come September. In the mean time I will play with some of my friends Sprint phones and see what I think. We do have 4G in this area, so maybe the 3G/4G speeds will be better.

Also I've heard rumors of the Moto Atrix coming to Sprint. That could possibly sway my decision too!
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Yeah, the horrible speeds i saw might just be area specific. It was in a smaller town about 10 miles from the metro area where I live.

I haven't read to much into the Atrix. I know its supposed to be an awesome phone though. I'll have to look it up and compare it to the Bionic.

Bionic has dual core running 1ghz each core.... *drools*
[Droid 2 General] kiwilit43:
If I remember correctly spec wise the Bionic and Atrix are very similar phones. The Atrix had more RAM I think, which is one of the few differences. The lack luster sales of the Atrix, from what I've read, are due to it being on ATT's network. They readily admit that they have the 3G and 4G speeds throttled back because the network can't handle it. A lot of people pull up Speedtest.net and see that ATT's standard 3G phones are faster than the top of the line 4G Atrix! Silly ATT!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ww9rivers:
Received my gtablet two days ago from the Woot sale. Went to modify it yesterday. First installed ClockworkMod, which was easy. But then I got ahead of myself: I tried installing the VEGAn-TAB 7 GingerEdition experimental release, which left the tablet stuck at the ViewSonic 3-bird screen.

So I partitioned the built-in SD card and backed down to VEGAn-Tab 5.1 Beta, with the suppliment package by Roebeet. That seems to have worked, until after I installed the Google Apps package (gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip). After booting it up, there is no Android Market anywhere. I read quite a bit on the forums here. Every one is talking about fixing Market after it is running. But my situation is different -- Market is not running. Furthermore, I could not find the Google Services Framework process either. Looking into the gapps zip file, I do see GoogleServicesFramework.apk and MarketUpdater.apk in there. I also find them in /system/app on the tablet. So why are they not running?

I have re-run the installation process a few times but nothing has changed. What else can I do? Any pointers are greatly appreciated. Should I try another ROM like TnT Lite?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HoLyCoWzOrZ:
That's a good question. I installed VEGAn 5.1 a couple days ago, but I don't' remember if it had the Market there... I'm about to reinstall it now and will post in a couple minutes.

However, I did just try the last experimental version of VEGAn and there too was no Market.

[edit]

Sorry, I took so long... I got side-tracked.

Anyways, I just installed VEGAn 5.1 and I have the Market installed. I did not however, install the supplemental package. So, I'm not sure what you did. Where did you download your ROM from? Is it the full version or just the update?

What I just did was:

1. Download VEGAn 5.1 from their site: http://vegantab.gojimi.com/download/gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.1.user.final.zip

2. Then boot up in CWM, repartition the internal sd as 4096/256.

3. Then mount the USB so that you can copy that zip file onto the internal sd.

4. Then unmount the USB, then install that zip from the internal sd

5. Then I mount /data and /system

6. Then I Wipe data/factory reset

7. Then I Wipe cache partition

8. Then I reboot

I just do steps 5-8 because it makes sense to me, but I'm not sure if I'm doing those in the correct order or not.

[edit again]

I just read this:

And I am having this problem now, so don't partition it as 4096/256 like I stated above, use 2048/0 instead.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ww9rivers:
Wow! Thanks for the quick and thorough response. I'm going to go through the whole thing again while writing them down step by step.

1. Booting the gtab into ClockworkMod Recovery >> Advanced >> Partition SD Card;

2. Partition: Ext Size = 2048; Swap Size = 0; (Pour myself a cup of coffee while that's done.)

3. Connecting to PC via USB; On gtab: Main menu >> mounts and storage >> Mount USB storage;

4. On PC, open File Explorer >> G: >> New Folder >> downloads;

5. Copying files to gtab:/downloads (MD5sum):

gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.1.user.final.zip (a01171d77f25444088ecc884c793d105)

gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.11.suppl.zip (7f3920a3ef2dabf264bfc8550d8f6d00)

gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip (29efd1cc5457849b10d4f0dc31f7f04c)

6. On gtab: Unmount (USB storage);

7. Back to Mounts and Storage Menu: Mount /system and /data;

8. Back to main menu >> install zip from sdcard >> choose zip from sdcard >> downloads/ >> gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.1.user.final.zip >> Yes - Install ......

9. In main menu >> wipe data/factory reset >> Yes -- delete all user data >> wipe cache partition >> Yes -- Wipe Cache;

Wipe cache seems unnecessary as wipe data includes "Formatting CACHE".

10. In main menu >> reboot system now.

11. Well, this time I see "Market" in the all apps screen!

12. Back to home >> Settings >> Applications >> Manage applications >> Running: I find Google Services Framework as well!!

I still don't know what I did wrong yesterday: Maybe I shouldn't have installed gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.11.suppl.zip? But I am glad I am over one hurdle.

Ok Im using the ROM listed below in my signature, and I'm getting ready to theme it with Androdena::Tek::Galaxy!

It has the blue background and custom Icons.

Anyway my question is how do save it? [BackDrop] And then restore this [BackDrop] picture after I theme it, cuz its gonna replace it with a shot of earth!

And I just cant part with this Beautiful Brunette! :confused:
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
isn't that your wallpaper?
[Vibrant General] carlcj5:
Just get shootme and use it to take a picture of your desktop or just look into the wallpaper folder for that rom and put it in another folder
[Vibrant General] dseldown:
I already checked my wallpaper folder all of them , and she's no where to be found! :(

She's somewhere in the ROM program, but no where I can get to or find!

Also if I take a snapshot of her with the Widgets, that,ll be no good unless I remove all of them, theres got to be a way of accessing this wallpaper photo of it clean, so I can add it to my wall Paper Folder.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
What rom are you running? All I can think of is going to that thread and asking the dev.
[Vibrant General] rpolito73:
Thanks Thanks Thanks
[Vibrant General] dseldown:
AHHH Ive listed everything about my phone in my signature, but you have to look downwards a little to see it!:confused:
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
if that is the default wallpaper for the rom you will be able to find it in the framework-res.apk use your favorite method to pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework either to your phone or your computer. then unzip either using root explorer or 7zip (just right click and extract with 7zip on pc) then look in /res/drawable-hdpi the wallpaper will be named default_wallpaper.jpg or something to that effect.

Cheers
[Vibrant General] dseldown:
Nice, thanks shreddintyres, that sounds like a viable option, my only ? now is what to use to pull the framework-res.apk from the /system/framework, the rest Ive got a grip on, but Ill start reading until I figure out exactly what you just instructed, haven't EVER dissected a ROM yet, so I need to learn, so I can retrieve that Wallpaper, of course it sure would've been alot easier if it had been in the wallpaper folder, but I'll be a good learning lesson. If i really want to customize this ROM the way I want!
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
I use Root Explorer. Works perfectly. I actually just used this same exact method to pull the default wallpaper from Trigger ROM.
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Yeah its in the framework-Res.apk as default_wallpaper.jpg. I meant to include it and several other dark ones but must have forgotten to add them.

EDIT; I've added a zip file to the OP of Simply Honey Pro that contains the extra wallpapers I forgot to include, including the one references here.
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
just call me Shred ;)

there are 2 methods that i like to use.

Using the phone as eminembdg said use root explorer (one of the most useful applications you will ever purchase for your phone) go into the system/framework directory then at the top of your screen there will be a button that says Mount r/w press that now you will be able to read and right to that directory (do not delete anything you will soft brick). now scroll down to find framework-res.apk long press and select copy then navigate to some directory on the directory /sdcard and paste.

Using the computer you will use adb. this requires that you have the android-sdk installed.

reboot phone into recovery (cwm recovery works the best)

open command prompt on computer, connect phone to pc with usb

navigate to directory where you have the android sdk then navigate to /android-sdk/platform-tools

execute the following commands

adb devices (this starts the adb daemon and allows will indicate that your phone and computer are communicating)

now execute the following command

adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\<your chosen directory>

you now have the framework-res.apk on your computer

Cheers
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
It would be great for you , since you are interested, to try out those methods mentioned.

But... if all else fails, I could download the ROM and pull it for you, lemme know if you'd want me to do that for ya.
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
See my post above for easiest method.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
i

With all due respect. I don't pay attention to whats posted down there when helping someone. A lot of ppl change their roms but don't change their sig.. Told ya the op would have most all the answers after all they made the rom :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] dseldown:
Thanks to ALL

To all the responders, appreciate all of ya, And Id like to pony up an apology to nomadrider123, I didnt mean to be rude, but after looking at it, [the responce] It certainly appears that way!

Anyway I got it done using a fresh download of the ROM , found the JPEG picture separated it, and uploaded it to the phone and then to my gallery, where it is now a file to be used as a wallpaper choice!

From there you choose it, and then Re-size it to fit right/save and there she is again! :p

Anyway Ive themed it already to a blue background, and then re-installed the Beautiful DAME as my wallpaper, and I now have a custom phone I really like and is easy on my eyes!

My only gripe now is I cant change the icons in TW, any suggestions on that?

IS TW a different animal, and needs a different software interface to MOD it?

And yes!! I'm a TW Fan. I love it! Navigates so fluidly!

I have installed on my phone ADW EX and Launcher Pro, And when I'm in TW GT Launcher I cant change the Icons, which doesn't make sense to me! So Ill figure it out or everybody here is quick with help! And Ill go with the soundest advice I get from Ya,ll! Again many thanks to all who gave!

Its a great feeling to customize my Business Tool, with minds all from all over the Globe!! Awesome community here!!;)
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
You have a couple of choices if your talking about changing your app icons. The first and simplest is to use ADW and chose a the with the icons you want. But since you like the TW launcher you'll have to change the icon of each app. You can open the AOL's just like you did to find the wallpaper. Same folder and its usually icon.PNG. if you use 7zip you can move the files around pretty easy. Just make sure and rename the new one the same as the old and stay away from the XML files unless your sure what your doing with it.

PM me if you or need more info.

Hi

Ive read in a few places that people have downloaded flash 10.2 to their vegas thru the market but i cant seem to find it, can it be done? Is there a simple add on anywhere for a numpty like me?!

I could do with it as a casino website i want to run says it needs 10.2 and i would like to do it on my vega rather than the pc.

Ive probably done something wrong somewhere but i dont know what, i may have to clear eeverything and start again, but if im honest im not totally sure how to do that either!

So my phone died and now I need a temporary replacement.

I dug out an old E650 I had laying around, however its on Orange like all of my phones, except I changed to Vodafone some months ago.

I've loaded Fireburned WM6.5 Clean 3.1, however as I was expecting but kept my fingers crossed, its still SIM Locked.

I don't want to pay for a SIM unlock as I'll be needing the phone for only a month or 2. I've also read the Thread regarding gathering files and either finding, or decrypting the unlock key, however there are no instructions.

Can anybody help with a solution? or point me towards some instructions for the long process.

Thanks,
[HTC Vox] Hakim Rahman:
maybe you can use Simlock - kit by jockyw2001
[HTC Vox] FlangeMonkey:
Yea, but the last post is back in 2009 and I'm not sure if this is still active.

I'm also looking to do this myself if needed to save cost, but there are no instructions on how jockyw2001 performs the find/debug/decoding/etc. With is now being an old phone and its a little past the bubble I would have thought this information would be available.

Back in the day I would normally unlock though firmware changes/software hacks, but obviously this changed sometime ago.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sgt-Hartley:
Like people have said its not that easy, as vivaz is not android platform its not just as simple as flashing an android Rom, drivers would have to be made, the boot sequence in vivaz would have to be heavily modified, its impractical to do this. The only other way would be to make an emulator for symbian like they did for windows mobile, even then unless the device is high specs the lag is crazy.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aldee_s:
no, its not that simple. well, i already see a Linux phone such as Motorola A1200, it can be upgraded to Android, but its because that phone is using linux, and basically, Android is linux modification. Even though its like that, also its not simple to put Android to linux phone, as you have to make the driver for that device to work on android, then changing the boot sequence. Its the same to vivaz, the modification is very hard, cause you have to change the boot sequence, not as easy as installing linux after you install a windows on a PC. :D

This is my second boot animation. It is, of course, based on Naruto! (because that show and manga is awesome). It is lighter than my simply a ninja boot animation. For now I just have a little animation but I will work on animating more things (hopefully).

INSTALL:

---I am not responsible if anything crazy happens to your phone---

Must be root. Should work with all custom roms (gingerbread&froyo)

Use Root Explorer

Push bootanimation.zip to /system/media (mount as r/w)

Reboot
