I know there was a moddified gmail for the Incredible that had this built in. I loved it, but for some reason it wasn't as popular as I thought it would be and it wasn't included in many ROMs. I'd love for someone to mod it for our bolts, though. I don't use the gmail widget for LP+ so it's really no help to me
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacquestrapp:
FYI, the reason for not showing pictures automatically in emails is that images in email are often hosted elsewhere, and spammers can detect when you download images in their emails and they then know that your email address is actually being used. So it's an anti-spam measure.

Ok, just did it and works perfectly.

got the black themed apk here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11798123&postcount=217

and did the following

deleted gmail.apk in system/app using root explorer, (tap r/o to change to r/w if cannot delete)

copied gmail.apk from SDcard, pasted into system/app

Long tap onto gmail.apk in root explorer, tap on permissions and checked all unchecked permissions.

Rebooted and everything worked, and the black gmail is really nice

edit: Be sure to rename the APK you are using to gmail.apk

This hole controversy over the past few days over P3droids post

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...rooting-manufacturers-carriers.html#post65013

When i first read this i was stunned, i unloaded a lot of frustration out in another thread but that didn't do anything other than make me feel better, temporarily. I have another year with the Droid X and don't want to just put up with it until i can upgrade. I've enjoyed my Droid X very much and would like it to continue that way but the development on it seems to be dieing. I still see there being much more to do to the device, considering Gingerbread leak was just released and rooted. I don't know how many people flashed the leak but i have... and it makes a huge difference in performance. I am no dev or anything, the most knowledge i have on this concept is rooting, flashing roms, and sbf'ing when something goes wrong. So i just want an idea of what everyone else is doing now that P3droid has said what he had to say. Do you believe it?
[Droid X General] JeezyMT3G:
This is my question ...why would someone who had this info release a "leak" of the rom they can track down? And still have links up for d/l?

If that was me id advice people not to upgrade to GB and wait for an official release then figure out how to root it... just how they figured out how to root the nexus s g2 mt4g atrix thunderbolt ...its possible ..

Now this is all a "he said she said"thing case ... no evidence no links no emails from Verizon or Motorola ...I understand the tethering and data thing but the root is garbage in my opinion ...it clearly voids warranty so you really think Motorola would be upset if you voided your warranty and have to buy a new phone? Less likely ...just my two cents

And just read where its posted in..

"News and Rumors" .....

That's all I gotta say :)
[Droid X General] GrimDefamation:
I agree with 100% jeezy. I understand why Verizon would be upset about the tethering, but we all do pay for UNLIMITED data. Verizon is just upset that we found a loophole instead of paying for their wireless tethering. And it is a little fishy that P3droid will be the one person to give us a leak and then immdiately tell us this information. I did take a peak at his twitter the night that he posted that information and aparently he was drunk...hmm.... No disrepect to P3Droid, he may be telling the truth about all of this but we can't tust anyone anymore, especially after the recent rumor that someone cracked the bootloader.
[Droid X General] GrimDefamation:
And there is 70 views on this thread already and only 2 votes. Please people, we want everyones input on this topic. Obviously other people are curious too if there are already 70 views lol. If you want to comment and give your opinion, thats great too, but all i ask is if you make those 2 clicks to vote.
[Droid X General] Ben's:
The final decision is to stop spamming and trolling about that topic. There is no solid evidence, links, Official ANYTHING for that matter and quite frankly, and I speak for a lot of senior members and those with common sense, I think we all want to stop hearing about it.

There are four posts in this thread, three of them are yours (OP). No one is posting because this is old and dead news on XDA. I doubt this thread will even get to a page two.
[Droid X General] GrimDefamation:
Well now someone has their panties in a bunch. The idea for this thread was the poll. Your exactly right in that there is no solid evidence on the topic... Which is the point of the poll. If there were solid evidence, then the topic would be dead. So instead of trashing a thread with your useless information, go make another thread on switching the 3g icon to 4g. Talk about pointless Ben
[Droid X General] JeezyMT3G:
Lol!!!
[Droid X General] cstrife999:
Umm.. Does anyone with a real brain cell believe it? Seriously stop spamming with this useless garbage. This isn't true. Not one shred of any evidence, stop spamming.
[Droid X General] cstrife999:
No this is a waste of space. The poll is meaningless as it is not true. Seriously how in the world can you believe this? If someone honestly truely believes this and not just from a fear campaign I pity them. Verizon and Motorola are coming off saying they don't care if your Zoom is rooted they will upgrade it anyways. Also every Verizon rep I have talked to have no clue what I was talking about and the most recent one went a step farther and claimed it would probably have been a breach of contract on their end.
[Droid X General] cstrife999:
Then give an option to say this is bull**** I bet that hit counter will light up like christmas lol...
[Droid X General] axlx1:
Bring it on Big Red. Ill have the legal team from Cydia make you their B%$# just like Apple
[Droid X General] marculous:
If it is true it's bullsh#t. If it's a rumor, that's sh#tty too. I hope it's not real, or at least something that never actually happens to us. I don't like the idea of being forced to go back to stock. And why? What was the main reason I got out of all the reading I did? Wireless tether. I don't even use it.
[Droid X General] tech_head:
I own my hardware not Verizon.

I haven't changed the code for the baseband which is what interacts with their system.

My user experience is just that, mine.
[Droid X General] Zudovex:
Isn't a forum an open place for discussion? If you're not interested in the discussion why even read the thread or waste your time commenting on it?

Whatever, regardless if the rumor is true or not I for one am not changing my ways. I will do whatever I want with my phone until Verizon gives me the boot, at which time I will just flash to cricket and enjoy the reduction in my bill.
[Droid X General] EtherBoo:
Sorry for the wall of text. I started typing and next thing I knew I wrote a novel.

Honestly, until I see some news on it, it's just a rumor. I did not upgrade to GB because I would rather wait for some development, but the bottom line is that this is just a rumor.

People have beat the whys, ifs, and hows into the ground so there is no reason for me to talk about them.

If you're so concerned that you have to make multiple threads, polls, and cry to your mother, SBF back to stock and enjoy your stock ROM as best you can. If you were on GB and this is true, VZW already has your MEID so you're ****ed one way or the other. So the only thing I can say is just chill out, crack open a beer, go to work, watch some baseball, jerk off... whatever you do in your spare time that relaxes you. If this whole thing is going to happen it's going to happen and worrying about it won't solve anything. You're already screwed on your current phone if everything P3 said goes down.

Most people here know there are certain risks involved when they mod there phones so if this all goes down, I'll just buy a new one and deal with the wenching from my wife. **** happens; deal with it.

--------------------------------------------------------

Finally, just some food for thought:

I've been using custom ROMs since the days of WinMo 6.5. Unfortunately, my first phone was not hacked due to lack of interest. I think it was the Samsung SCH-i760. While it was not hacked, people were sending this $600 phone bricked under a warranty replacement. I'm sure not as many as the Droid X's being sent back from complete noobies coming here and bricking their phones, but I digress.

Warranty replacements due to tampering are nothing new; it's been going on for YEARS, even prior to Smart Phones. In fact, I remember people warranty replacing their RAZRs trying to get rid of the Verizon UI.

Whatever happens, happens. Just go with it.
[Droid X General] knny1491:
Honestly if everything is true and we will be no longer be able to make our droid Phones OUR droid phones I'm just going to get a plan with a cheap carrier and use this as a multimedia device and leo it mine.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
You are very correct. You can do whatever you want with your device and Verizon cannot do anything to your device about it. HOWEVER, they can do whatever they want with THEIR service. As stated in the terms of service that EVERYONE here agreed to, in section 2 part d of reasons they can terminate or suspend your service, if you " modify your device from its manufacturer's specifications" they have the right to stop providing you service.

So yes you can modify your device to hell and back but they DO NOT have to give you service for it. So all of you can stop saying Verizon had to tell you something or can't do this. THEY ALREADY TOLD US.

Linux USB tethering?

Ok, this is my first post, but I have been lurking for a while (eris, now TB).

Has anyone been able to get the HTC built-in "internet connection mode" tethering to work on Linux? Using Ubuntu 10.04, Network Manager recognizes the phone as a modem, but can't connect to anything. Nothing in the browser, can't even ping by IP. I know there is a driver/HTC sync software it uses on windows - is there any way to make this work in Linux? Perhaps using ndiswrapper?

I've googled my fingers off and can't find anything related.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meowlamp:
What does unrooted mean? But in all seriousness the Thunderbolt was my first Android and the only experience I had with root was using z4 root on my dads X so he could get wireless tether.

I can tell you first hand how much I thought using adb would be overwhelming and I would mess something up. The walkthroughs are so detailed and you just copy and paste everything; easy peasy. I am glad I did the long way instead of waiting for a one click because guess who bricked their phone loading a ROM a few days later? *raises hand* But I was familar with bootloader and all that and managed to get it all worked out.

This is one thing I can think of to try. Its under Display settings.

And a non glare screen protector, although I think they work best indoor to protect from overhead neon lighting and such. I got these:

They work well and they really do make a glare difference in my typical neon overhead lighted office.

Coming from AT&T and recently having the Motorola Atrix for a month (also stock, unrooted), I like the Thunderbolt better in a few ways.

1. Verizon doesn't lock down their phones as much and I can install non-market apps.

2. I can use the new Amazon app store

3. I love the kickstand

4. The phone is plenty speedy and the screen is nice and responsive with nice coloration.

Things I liked better about the Atrix on AT&T:

1. Sound quality was top notch on my Atrix

2. I like a 4" screen better than a 4.3"

3. The battery life on the Atrix was phenominal

4. Motorola had a few nice built in apps that worked well, like the Battery Management app and the Task Manager.

Overall I'm very happy with my TB so far.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnakaman:
When talking about "stock" Android phones, there has been alot of debate for the past 2+ years as to what is better...

Some people "love" the HTC Sense UI, some people prefer "Vanilla" android builds (like the Nexus), which include none of the "fluff".

So alot comes down to preference and as we all know, that is a matter of personal choice.

So when you ask, "Which is the best stock phone," that really depends on each individual and how they want to use their phones.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratatouille:
Used to my beloved Captivate, when I got my hands on the Atrix I rooted it and I erased some of the apps that I didn't want (everything from Bell actually). If I have a System Dump of Bell's ROM for the Atrix, can I just replace everything in the files from where I deleted the apps, reboot, and have an "untouched" Atrix?

I know, I should have read before....but it's done, so...lets face the music.

Thanks

To stay safe, I'd restore those files that you deleted and then freeze so they won't start. They might be needed for future updates.

Anyone happen to have a dump or a copy of the Google Maps print app from the HP Zeen before HP decided to go all Nazi and replace it with that POS BING and MQ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] astrocrep:
Hey all,

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this or not, but being I have a captivate, I figured I would start here...

I wrote a small little application called MyTunesExtract.

Basically what it will do is read your itunes library file, create a list of all of your playlists and then let you extract those playlists to m3u files and folders to a locating of your choosing.

For example, you configure your Extract point to be E:\Music ( e:\ is the mount point for my phone)

I then select a playlist, and hit export. It will copy over all of the tracks (retaining directory structure) and build an m3u playlist that IS compatible with the Stock Samsung music player. I haven't tried any other players out yet.

Import things to note:

- This is a ROUGH RELEASE somewhere between beta and final.

- The itunes library is treated as READ-ONLY!!

- This app seriously lacks error handling, but should work pretty consistently once it's setup.

- Depending on how many people use it will determine my support plan. I currently and planning a v2 of this app that will be a complete re-write, done right with error handling and multi-output support at runtime, along with multi-playlist formats.

- This app is FREE and COMES WITH NO/ZERO/NONE Warranty.

- Donations are always welcomed and certainly appreciated.

- I will try to help people regardless of donations, but please remember this is a pet project for me and I can only work on this once my son is down to bed.

- I would keep itunes CLOSED when running this, just to prevent any possible hick-ups.

- This DOES work over network drives, my itunes library is on a different machine and I can give my library path as: \\machine\music\itunes\itunes library.xml

Installation!!!

- Very easy, open the MyTunesExtract.exe.config there are two paths there... the first one: defaultiTunesLibrary points to the location of your itunes library XML, I repeat, XML file, not the itl. The other one: defaultSyncFolder points to the output location for creating playlists and folders.

- There is no install process other than that. Just configure it and run the exe.

Notes

- I try to be a bit smart about playlist extracting, it will only copy files if it doesn't already see it in the output directory.

- Because of that the Files to Copy count is only files MISSING in the output folder. If your playlist has 20 songs, and 8 are already there, the Copy Count will be 12...

- I've tested this with the latest version of itunes.

I've attached 3 screenshots that show what it looks like.

Hope you guys get some use out of this!

Thanks and enjoy,

Rich

Excellent idea - the one thing stopping my daughter getting an android is iTunes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] astrocrep:
Thanks, it was born out of the same scenario. My wife and I have a large iTunes library with tons of playlists, and I couldn't figure an easy way to get them out...

Tried DoubleTwist, Winamp and a couple others, nothing was simple, complete and fool-proof, (and free!).

Either way, if you use it, let me know! I would love some feedback.
