[Atrix 4G Android Development] fastbikedroid:
I'd tend to agree with the OP ..

Stuff will leak, and the fact is we're all looking to get the next new thing / enhancement, but we should all demonstrate a little discretion if not for any other reason than to be practical ... The more blatant (some of the stuff on the mot forum bordered on ridiculous) the more likely the vendors will shift even more effort and resources to locking things down.

All imho, which when I last checked we're all entitled to :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dLo GSR:
Because this one isn't an implicit I-opened-the-product-box, you signed up as a beta tester, which is not a given privilege as a consumer. This is an OPT-IN test opportunity. Probably 98% of the people with the Atrix do not participate in this beta test. Like you said, we're allowed to root/jailbreak our phones technically because of the LoC ruling. That does not make you immune to breaking an NDA. Don't be ignorant. I have seen people sued and prosecuted for breaking NDAs, especially in my line of work.

I got the beta update, and I tried it, gave my feedback, and went back to 1.2.6. When someone figured out how to do root and they released the update ALL OF FIVE DAYS LATER, I updated. I do not believe that releasing the update to the masses in any way helped to re-gain root access for 4.1.57.

While that may be true, and rooting in itself is not wrong, the process to get it by releasing a company's IP is. Geohot lost on this one with Sony. If you want the damn beta update so bad, then SIGN UP FOR IT. If you're so committed to finding root and unlocking our bootloader, THEN PARTICIPIATE in the beta. None of that requires you to break the NDA.

You're right. Biting the hand that feeds you is a way better solution to getting what you want.

What, you don't understand common logic?

They don't need feedback from us. They can easily throw together a small focus group or do in-house testing or carrier testing that doesn't include us. Most companies work that way. We were fortunate to have Moto decide to include the general public.

You're opting in for this test. If you can't handle the rules and regulations, then don't do it and just wait and whine until the actual update is released. I can't remember anyone complaining of signing up for the Beta and not getting in, so if you want the damn file, then sign up and get to work.

And thank you for ignoring about 50% of my post.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
And I have to laugh at how you didn't even read what the post was about. :)

This is about the beta test, nothing more, nothing less. The entirety of the test is enclosed under an NDA, which regardless of your personal or moral standards, is a legally binding contract and should not be broken. Last time there was a beta test, users willingly and knowingly broke the NDA and posted the confidential information all over the forums. Most of those threads were shut down immediately. When I root my device, I'm not breaking a signed agreement that says I won't root my device. It's not even close to the same thing, you're overgeneralizing the subject. I'm talking about a very specific thing here, not android hacking in general.

Also, an NDA is a legally binding contract, and it IS illegal to break. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-disclosure_agreement
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PixoNova:
Then why is HTC so responsive to 3rd party devs? (Excluding Thunderbolt, wtf is with that) I have Cognition on my Captivate, and CM7 on my Inspire. So forgive me if I decide to disagree with you that it's not silly to want an unlocked bootloader.

Especially on my captivate. The thing is complete crap without Cognition. Yet I was able to easily install ROM manager and Cognition and slap it on there. It's only Motorola right now that are big enough pricks to do this to us. Sony gave their users a way to install ROMs. Now it's only us locked in the cage.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] decoyd:
How do you justify rooting your phone? You are violating their rules and regulations. Nobody is forcing you to buy their product.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
NDA's are pretty serious business. Just because Motorola doesn't sue you doesn't change this fact. Lifetime friends of mine that work at Microsoft and Google can't tell me what they are working on specifically. I've gotten used to responses like "working on Google Maps" and not bothering them for more details because I respect

their

NDAs.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dLo GSR:
I never said it's silly to not want it. Everyone here wants it. It's silly to think that all the manufacturers are just going to give it to us. Every HTC phone and Samsung phone that's had its ROM replaced was bypassed or unlocked by an independent dev, save the Nexus devices. None of these companies want you to use anything other than their own software (Sense, Blur, TouchWiz, etc).

IF. From what I've been hearing from T-Mo and AT&T Reps is that the FCC doesn't like it at all and might not approve it. Which in turn causes AT&T to pay T-Mobile some money in the end and give them a nice chunk of spectrum.

Nothing's final yet.

can you guys give a general run down on the process for this android n00b? My g2x is rooted.. but I'm waiting for this testing to run its course. This is all new to me, but I have enough technical knowledge where I don't need my hand held throughout the process.. I just need knowledge on the general steps involved..

1) Rooted - Good to go.

2) Need to do a full backup (waiting for my sd card from newegg) - what prgm do I need? Can I do it now onto my HD or is that what Clockwork Recovery is for?

3) Initiate Clockwork Recovery and CM7 - what are they, in general.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nonmindo:
No worries, its just proof your still human and that android hasn't fully assimilated you yet :-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tgerbracht:
Clockwork recovery is the tool you use to flash roms and tweaks in a very simple way. Just wait for it to be working fully. You have to be rooted to put cwm on your phone.

Cyanogen Mod 7 is a custom rom based on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) that is widely considered one of the best ones out there due to how early you can get the newest version of android with custom modifications. Cyanogen team does not support every smartphone out there and due to the g2x having pure android and thus easier to work with, it was predicted cm7 would eventually be available. This was confirmed a little while ago.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
That's what i love about this forum.. After doing a lot of reading here, people are very helpful and polite. You don't find that on many forums. I greatly appreciate that. At any rate.. I see CM7 is the rom.. Clockwork Recovery puts it on the phone. Simple enuff.. thanks.

What about backing up the phone in its current rooted state? I think it would be wise to get it backed up on my hard drive's pc and on dropbox or something.. Any suggested apps/pgrms for that.. or will clockwork recovery do this as well?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tgerbracht:
Download Rom Manager from the market. You can make entire backups of your rom, but I think you still need CWM on your phone first.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Minker17:
Clockwork will allow you to do a full nandroid backup of your phone at it's current state. You could then restore it in the future.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
You can also use Titanium Backup (if rooted) to backup all your apps and data. The latest version has a nice feature to backup to dropbox in case your SD card goes bonkers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
Ya, I downloaded it and apparently it comes with CWM. When I hit backup rom, it says I need CWM.. click to install. Earlier you suggested to wait until CWM is working... So it's probably not wise to install it from Rom Manager eh?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyberchuck9000:
I don't believe it's compatible yet. The G2x's partition layout is different than most phones, and Rom Manager could possibly overwrite something it isn't supposed to if you try to use it now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
thanks man..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bamabruin:
Would you recommended Partitioning the SD card? With an EXT and a SWAP? Not sure if procedure should be different with G2X with both internal and external SD cards.

Hi,

There is a bug in the 'LG - Optimus 2x', when the screen is turned off, the Play command does not work !

and when the screen is turned on, the Play command work.

On the other hand, when the screen is turned off, the Pause command works !

it also works when the screen is turned on

So you can make a pause of the playing song but not play it again when the phone has the screen turn off !!! it seems to be a bug

Chris
[LG Optimus 2x] -=Beavis=-:
Hey there!

Can confirm that half way! With me I can skip say five or six songs with double click on the play button but after that this doesn't work anymore and I have to switch the screen on in order to switch/play or pause the song! :(

Do you also have that cracking noise in the ear-phone when pushing the button?

After the button won't respond the cracking noise dissappears by the way!

Greetings
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyschuite:
for this i have found an app that acts as a listener and interprets the commands.

[LG Optimus 2x] chris247:
I do not have any cracking noise with the Optimus built-in headset command tool though.

I was very hopeful with your answer, so I have installed and tested this Headset Button Controller app.

=> Unfortunately it is very very buggy on Optimus 2x. This app is unusable: it randomly recognize a command 1 time out of 10 attemps.

Does any one knows if there is a working solution for the Optimus 2x headset command to allows to have it working properly ?

[LG Optimus 2x] chris247:
So I have just looked over the Internet for the 3.5 version.

I have installed it and tested it on my Optimus 2x. It does NOT work either. The headset command respond 1 times out of 10, and most of the time not properly. And the phone is slowed since I have installed this. This Headset Button Controller app even crashed, here is a screenshot:

Do you know another application that can handle this headset button?
[LG Optimus 2x] jsauce75:
I am having this same problem on my g2x. I am both relieved and frustrated to find out others have the same issue. On the one hand there are several people looking for a solution. On the other hand, a simple hardware exchange won't fix it. I also tried the headphone control app to no avail. This is a big issue for me. Enough that I will return the phone if I can't find a solution.

Got the chance to play with the blackberry playbook and this thing is amazingly fast almost as fast as ipad2. Multitasking is mind boggling i tried running 4 hd videos simultaneously and never had a single hickup. I love the interface a lot better than an ipad and android. Hulu works in the browser as its a full web browsing experience. The lcd screen is as good as the ipad if not better as the color is more saturated the only downside is the fewer apps available. The dual core texas instrument 1ghz processor with parallel multitasking does makes the difference its so much fun to use.

[Off-topic] Hotshot205:
Seems okay but still think I will opt out for the ipad2 just cause its more well put together tablet and it just works. Like the fact you will be able to run some android apps on it, don't like the fact that you MUST have an blackberry(with the bb data plan) to fully use the tablet at times.

I got the first gen iPad but the lack of full web functionality turned me off after a while. Not being able to view... practically half of the internet because of the lack of flash was a big thing for me. That and the fact that, while it's a great machine and great for what it does, it's kind of limited in what all it can really do.

iOS is boring; to me anyway. And after the initial magic and shine wore off... there was really nothing interesting to do with the device.

If anyone is looking for a tower defense game with a twist I suggest checking out Lonely Turret for the Blackberry Playbook (I know the dev :p).

But definitely give it a look if you have a playbook and want a good game.

So, coming from Blackberry World and posting from my Playbook, RIM has definitively said the Bridge requirement will be gone by mid June. The standalone PIM apps were demo'd multiple times. And, of course, a Sprint LTE version is coming then as well.

No specific date on the Android player yet, although it was demo'd live as well. The Android apps that were shown were brought over without assistance from the original devs and no source required. It's just a repackage of the apk.

This hardware is fantastic and QNX is blazing fast.
[Off-topic] Skellyyy:
Yeah I really like the look of this tablet. Also all of the things that are flaws with it atm, seem to be getting ironed out by RIM soon. The intuitive way RIM have even done the controls for the Android player are awesome. The only thing I'd say is they could have brought it out in a 7" and 10" model just for choice as if you're really looking for compact, you could pickup the 7" but if you're looking at buying it for the media aspect you could just buy the 10". But it's RIM's first tablet so I can see why they only brought out the one size... Now to start saving. :D
[Off-topic] Skellyyy:
Oh yeah I'm also wondering how RIM are going to handle the updating of Android apps. It would be cool if there was a program made that would convert the apk's to what ever file type is needed for the QNX OS.

Oh and of course, what hacking (if any) is going to be like. All to look forward to. :D
[Off-topic] purplebear:
Sorry for the delayed response

A 10" version is planned. Expect it before the end of the calendar year.

Also, the .bar file format on the Playbook is not much different from a .apk file. It is just a compressed file with some metadata. All the developer has to do is unzip and rezip their current release essentially. I am sure there is a tool in the SDK for developers to rezip their app.

I would imagine it won't be long before an after the fact tool is available to users so they can take an apk from their phone and turn it into a bar file.
