>My guess that at least on this forum people understand what goes into making an app and respect that.

In that most here have bought a $600-800 gadget, we can say that the demog for this forum have higher disposable income than the norm. Another thing we can say is that some number here are content producers or business owners, so there is more empathy for app devs. In short, those here aren't mainstream people.

I don't think the economics of software pricing will suddenly be lowered to the <$10 variety (as dominated by current phone apps) for the simple reason that software devs haven't decided to work for less money. IOW, TCO will be the same, because cost of production is still the same. The different thing is that the distribution channel now is more democratized, and there'll be more software as services than as packaged e-goods.

The issues of piracy are well-known; no need to rehash them here. Suffice it to say that it will be the same for tabs as it is for PCs.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
Part of the problem with our Open Ecosystem is the crowd that it has attracted.

These people who love and kill for 'Open' have had access and use of FOSS(Free Open Source Software) for years - everything just about has been about FOSS.

It's difficult to retrain the mindset of these guys to pay for any software. I am not saying anyone is stealing, I am saying they don't see the current sets of software worthy of $0.99 - the cost is not the factor here, the mind set of FOSS is.

That being said the 'Free' in 'Free Open Source Software' does not mean free from $$$ - it just usually happens to be that way with most software used on an open Linux platform.

That being said, I have purchased every app that I have tried, liked, and a pay version has been available for - there are 10 or so that I don't even have installed any more because I just don't use them (programs designed for 1.5, 1.6, or 2.1 - that don't need to be used any more because features exist).

I get the 'Support Future Development' theory, and would gather to say that most of who do Pirate software really don't understand how a development cycle works, or how you make it profitable. I'd almost bet that 40% of the windows copies that hit this web page a day aren't legit. I'd also say that number is safe and low.

If you want a Free OS - take a bit of time and learn linux (Mint is as easy and Windows) - don't steal from that mean multi billion dollar corporation. Theft causes prices to rise, denying them the sale causes prices to fall and force them to become competitive.

On a side note...

Amazon seems to be actively pushing the Android market with their "Free paid app a day" promotion. My question is now, do the developers still get the money for each download or are they the ones to say "hey, promote my app by making it free for 24 hours"?

I think the Android market will always be the step child but on the other hand it is filled with enthusiasts and real people that are approachable. It's more like a team (see this forum). I am very proud to be a member of this community and I am very tempted to switch to an Android phone when I next have the option for a new phone. I currently have a jailbroken iPhone 3GS and probably paid more on Cydia than on iTunes :D Also, I have paid for way more apps on the Xoom (and way more money was spent) than all my iPhone apps together!
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
Yes, they do get a % of the price of the App, I think they receive 20% when the app is listed for the free app of the day - There are some other stipulations to that though. They get 70%? I believe when the app is purchased normally and Amazon keeps 30% finders fee so to speak, covers CC Processing and Amazon over head.
[Xoom General] poisike:
I would gladly buy the apps if i only could. Like someone already posted, apps are not exactly expensive when you consider the price we have paid for our Xooms.

Only problem is that for some reason Google doesn't offer paid apps in my country :(

I understand that Market Enabler also doesn't work for wifi only Xoom?

Does anyone know a way how i could buy apps?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tsquire99:
Every screenshot app seems to work correctly. When I go into the gallery I see LG boot logo with the blue progress bar under it as the screenshot. Every app does this! Tried shootme,drocap2, couple more. Has anyone experienced this?

Edit: interesting maybe I should read the manual. Still kinda weird that those apps don't work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
I believe someone mentioned power + home takes screenshots. Apparently it is in the manual that no one reads.

I rooted mu wife's evo lastnight using unrevoked3. Went awesome. She wants to keep stock rom for now but I wanted to flash her a custom kernel. I have an epic so I'm a little confused on the evo kernels. First off what is a good kernel fir stock rom? I saw the kernels and there are alit if options to choose from between havs and no havs. I wanted to overclock her phone a little bit but from all the threads I read on here a lot of people are against it. Why is that? I know obviously worse battery but I'm overclocked on my epic to 1.4 and my battery life is pretty good cause I also undervolted it. So what kernel di you guys recommend for stock rom. Should I flash a havs or havs not? Thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it. I'm really trying to learn the evo.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Personally never had to overclock my evo. I run CM7, but as far as sense kernels, net achy have the best reviews, and I would go for havs, since it has like a built in setcput to regulate voltages, and help her battery life.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
Yeah that's the kernel I was looking at. I'm just having a hard time deciding what subtype to try. I read an awesome article stickied at the top in the development section about the differences but I wanted some user input. It said some phones can't handle havs?

Sent From My Evo Killer!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowboarda42:
Yeah, some phones do well with havs while some don't. Same goes with kernels, my phone may act better on one while yours runs like crap. Its mostly trial and error, but start with one that is more-havs. Then theres sbc, (superior battery charging) aka trickle charging. Its pretty controversial right now since 6-10 people out of thousands ruined their batteries with it. You'll definitely get WAY better battery life but be prepared to buy another battery in a year or so ($5 for stock on amazon).

Personally I would try netarchy's 4.3.1-cfs-havs-nosbc and see how it does.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
You did state that it was your wife's phone, right? If she is not a techy, all she will care about is that it works. I would leave the default kernel in place and see how she "feels" about it....LOL...If she happy, leave it as-is.

As for what kernel to recommend, definitely a Netarchy kernel as the others have stated. I would start with the toastmod 4.3.2 noHAVS noSBC noUV and then go from there.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I agree and I'm not interested in overclocking it. With the right combination of rom and kernel, I am able to get my EVO to be as fast as I need it to be without sacrificing stability.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Exactly...CM7+Tiamat kernel for me, additionally 100mv undervolted, smartass governor at 128/653...never had a problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
No my wife isn't techy at all. She doesn't have a clue. She just doesn't like all the bloatware on the phone and finally she asked my hoe to get rid of it. Lol. So she let me root her oho e and then she told me what she didn't want. I might just leave stock kernel on there for now. Her battery is great and she honestly doesn't care about anymore performance. Thank you all for your help. You have really helped me understand the evo a little bit more. I want to buy one myself to just play around with and flash. You guys have so much mire to play around with. The epic is definately limited. I've flashed everything there is to on the epic at least once. Lol.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
lol, I Was gonna post, why didn't she ask him to get rid of his hoe?

Personally, I'm the group that gets better battery and performance with 4.3.2 SBC CFS Havs more.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneStepAhead:
personally I underclock my evo to save battery, i don't know your wife but chances are she would be better served by a UV then an OC. As for my pick for best stock kernel its htc #15 kernel with sbc found in the sbc thread. by the way what is your evo killer? certainly youre not referring to the epic?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I understand And you're very welcome. I know it is tempting to take her phone and use it for all its worth, but your wife, if she is like mine, would have a cow. My wife has a G-2 and I would love to root it and flash a custom rom among other things, but she could care less about things like that and it drives me crazy....LOL...Still, pushing the issue is not worth sacrificing a peaceful coexistence. You're married so I know you know what I'm talking about...;)....Anyway, take care and enjoy your weekend.

[Android] khumzz:
Hi everyone,

Im using rcmix Rom. Android version 2.3.3 which comes with HTC sense 2.1 I think.

I wanted to ask if there are any roms available with HTC sense.3.0 or any other Rom to update my current rcmix Rom to HTC.sense 3.0?

Also when I rooted my phone I didn't backup my device. So what do I have to do if I ever want to back to factory android version that my phone came with, which was 2.2.

I guess thats about it for now.

Thanks :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knlr:
i flashed jvb last night then rooted.

i have just one issue for now it is related with gps icon when i closed the gps the status bar icon still there. couple minutes later i activate then deactivate it was gone. everything seems same with jvk to me like battery drain, fast, etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepinkpenguin:
I was running JVK for a month without any issues at all, all worked fine.

But as something new came out I flash to JVB using the 'Hamsterbread' ROM, only been on it less that 24hrs but so far no problems at all.

I think as mentioned before they are pretty much the same so personally I would say it doesnt really matter. If your on JVK there isn't much point flashing to JVB.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] do-shaq:
I tried jvk, jva and jvb and is all the same except swype on jvk

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Higadeb:
I use JVK. Not out of choice but it's what my phone had installed when it was returned to me from repair (went in with Darky's 9.5). So if Samsung themselves are putting JVK on then that's where I'd rather be :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adiep:
After trying jvb, I wouldnt downgrade to jvk.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossy1963:
JVK since 26th march. rooted, modded and running like a Ferrari. Downloaded JVB and all mod files but not bothered flashing as JVK is so good.

This is the longest I've gone without a custom ROM...no need.

From what I read, JVB and JVA are just minor regional variants...they are all 2.3.3 after all.

These roms are just to similar to contain any significant performance or reliability differences in my view.

conclusion: If you've flashed JVK, JVB or JVA and are happy don't flash. If you have any issues try one of the others.

For me its JVK and well happy :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossy1963:
Its not a downgrade :-)

JVB is a Nordic variant, JVK is the UK variant, JVA is European, Luxemburg I think, hence the insignificant differences between them

well, i somehow managed to reverse engineer that on my own.

went back into terminal

su

cd /cache

mv download.bak download

ln -s /cache download

exited terminal, opened the market and Google maps was downloading. i have no idea what i did, or where anything is going anymore, but i got what i wanted accomplished. it's still a little unsettling that i don't know what's going on with my cache or whatever. can anyone possibly help me figure out what i did, and how i might be able to fix anything that's currently messed up? lol

[Galaxy 3 General] anand.pyro:
I downloaded the kies version of the firmware of the froyo update and updated the firmware using odin.

After i installed froyo, i wanted to root to apply swype patch and everthing went ok but when i restarted, the phone was stuck on the i5801 loading screen for about an hour

so i flashed the firmware again.

Odin saves the data onto phone and restarts the phone and the phone opens recovery mode but now it gets stuck on a screen saying "delete app data"... "delete files please wait" and it has been stuck there for about 3 hours now and even when i try and open recovery mode, it opens but then this screen comes up

i tried flashing multiple times but nothing works, cant even factory reset now :(

Please help me out.. :(

note::(odin for a change shows a disabled reset time box.. it is faded out)

add http and enter "dl.dropbox.com/u/26157339/compressed.jpg"

here is a screenshot of the screen at which my phone has been stuck for about 3 hours

Also suggest if i should go to the service center coz the phone is under warranty, i really doubt theyd do it for free considering its rooted but i dont mind paying up.

And let me know if there is anyway the service center ppl will know i rooted/flashed:o
[Galaxy 3 General] Gullwing-x:
Try taking out the battery and then putting it back, and press the 2 volume buttons+home+power until the phone boots up in recovery mode... Try wipping the memory from there
[Galaxy 3 General] anand.pyro:
that is the entire problem, as soon as it goes into recovery mode it starts off like shown in the screenshot

therefore it is not displaying the menu (which has options to factory reset/clear cache) instead its jumping directly to the update sequence but then getting stuck at deleting apps :(
[Galaxy 3 General] Thom47:
Try flashing a different firmware, such as an eclair rom. Note that your phone is 5801, so look for those firmwares.
[Galaxy 3 General] anand.pyro:
k ill try flashing an eclair rom. I did flash firmware specific to my version it self..

But the problem is that even after the flashing is done, the recovery window has to open where the update begins and thats when the "deleting apps" screen kicks in and doesnt progress

never the less ill try flashing another rom/firmware and see
[Galaxy 3 General] Thom47:
Hmm, that is weird. Did you flash the bootloader?
[Galaxy 3 General] anand.pyro:
tried flsahing a eclair firmware but no luck..

odin runs for a couple of mins, and says pass but still the phone is stuck on the delecting apps screen..'

For some odd reason, my recovery mode is hell bent on deleting some apps but is not able to and is getting stuck and therefore i cant reset/ clear cache..

Do u ppl think this could be coz of the root??

Please suggest something, i dont want to know my phone is bricked for ever considering its not even been a year since i bought it :(
[Galaxy 3 General] anand.pyro:
a second flashing of eclair did it thanks man!!!
