[Thunderbolt General] kpa2727:
Ok i'm gonna take Devs side on this topic. I have worked with Devs and know just how labor intensive code work is. I have friends that have almost no life doing code work fo banks like Chase and so on. Being a Dev is great but it comes at a cost. I'm not quite one yet but ripping on one for his girl and going completly off topic is BS. If i need to leave the community to get my life in order, girls or not it's none of your buisness. If i choose to love my girl so much i make it my icon that's not your buisness ether. Back on topic, many of you little Droid owners are spoiled and wouldn't know a good phone if it summoned a lighting bolt to your LTE phone and cooked some Sense into you. I came from a Incredible I got shortly after launch. Up until almost January there was not such thing as CM7. THE PHONE LAUNCHED IN APRIL! At the time i left the Incredible great things were happening. Having the Thunderbolt since Launch, great things are and will be happening too. Blackberry users are stuck on the same old OS setups, I had a Tour a Bold 9650 and a Curve2, if Blacberry taught me anything, messaging means nothing. I need my speed and battery life was just as bad on the tour, the piss poor support from Rim makes me crave Android when i think about it. Rim was lucky to support thier device with maybe 4 updates a year and none of them major or solved almost any issues. Messenger has many clones on Android like Kik,Live profile and so on. The stock messenger is so fast on any of the Droid devices i don't miss the Blackberry. In the end all the droids that have come out like X, Incredible and so on needed serious Development time to cook. Only reason we forget is we have had these roms for months to years already and expect to have devs be used to it. What noone accounts for is were dealing with a way different setup, ront facing camera, LTE radio's, a completly different revision of the SnapDragon processor inside. All of this is like riding a new bike, not the same old rehash. In conclusion, shutup, it's not Dev's fault for neding time. If you want all these glorious things done "RIGHT NOW" no problem. Code it yourselves, or better yet cry in HTC's ear or leave the platform. You have someone not being paid besides donations making further advancements then even the manufacture and you have the nerve to fathom a complaint? wake up people.
[Thunderbolt General] TheLoonyRebel:
This man speaks the truth.

And like I've said before... and I'll say it agian... I'm very happy with the works that the devs have done so far. Will it get better from here on out? Damn straight it will. But believe me when I say there's still plenty of awesome out now for us end users to enjoy. So many thanks to the devs such as adrynalyne, Protekk, slayher, and others for the hard work you have put into ROMs, kernels, etc so far. You have my utmost respect!
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
There's been a lot of aggression in the Thunderbolt threads these last few days, which completely defeats the purpose of XDA. I don't get it. Protekk is a dev and he's contributed here, let's be more pleasant
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
Wrong. They're going at him because he's being a douchebag, which is pretty typical for him
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Douchebaggery to combat Douchebaggery just means more douchebags in the thread.
[Thunderbolt General] bghed32:
coming from the storm, which i actually liked, the andriod experience has been awsome to say the least. rooting for the first time was scary as hell and i was sure i was going to brick it the minute i tried to flash my first ROM. maybe its being the new guy but i have been running das bamf and have completely enjoyed it and it seems development is happening at a great pace. wouldnt we just end up disappointed if all the development happened in the first month and left us nothing to look forward to?

I bought a DX months after it was out (in November to be exact) and there is already more support for the TB then when I bought my DX. No disrespect to the DX Developers.

Seriously, this place is turning into a hate fest. To this day I can't understand people getting pissed off at people for doing **** for free in their free time. Do I want more updates? Absolutely. Do I get pissed off because Das BAMF isn't on version 4.3.56.3.6? Absolutely not. I appreciate what I get and I really wish more people would do the same.
[Thunderbolt General] EvilDobe:
+1 and I like your word choice.

I like the fact the development is "slow". While the constant flashing feeds my addiction and I enjoy the work the devs produce I like having the same ROM on my phone for more than a 48hr period and not having to re-setup everything every other day.

As far as going to the personal level... I don't give a **** if a dev dresses up like Minnie Pearl to go and rape penguins and run dog fights. That's their business. If they want to take a hiatus, for whatever reason, let them. Say thank you for their work, donate if you want, and leave them be and move on to the next dev.
[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
I have to disagree, I got my X about 2 weeks after it released and rooted it about 2-3 weeks later. At that time there were about as many roms and a lot more themes, the thunderbolt has radios and kernels which were not available on the X but the X had lots of roms and themes. Towards the end of my X days there were less roms being released but that's because most people were running ApeX or Liberty/gummyjar because they were great roms.
[Thunderbolt General] shoot2scre:
I apologize to XDA for brining negativity into the thread. I didn't come into this tread/post my comment to start something with anyone. My first comment was benign. I came to share that I was coming from the OG Droid and I'm extremely pleased by the development I'm currently seeing on the TB.

The last thing I expected in response to my original comment was the sarcastic, derisive and condescending reply I received. As such I sought to explain myself and have some fun at some kids expense... and I don't mean any disrespect in calling him a kid but at 19... he is a kid. That being said, I'm sorry if people are upset that I 'got personal'. It was a cheap shot, but I wasn't aware of his relationship issues (if you can even call it that... it sounds pretty vanilla/normal to me). I just wanted to make someone else laugh at his expense. He was a douche, without cause, without reason, and without provocation. Aside from that... I thought it was funny.

TL;DR - He deserved it.
[Thunderbolt General] ProTekk:
Hey, I thought it was funny too and well deserved. No apology needed from you man. I was a douche, end of story. On the otherhand, I didn't take the post under yours very well as most of the people who moved from the DInc to the TB know what really was going on and I wanted to clear it up. That tool obviously knew what was going on since he had to be in the DInc area to begin with if he knew what I was doing. But again, I have no problem with you. It was the other one I had an issue with.
[Thunderbolt General] cloud36426:
I just stopped counting at 13 ROM's for the TB. I never saw that many ROM's for the X. Maybe I was in the wrong place for X ROM's.

Edit: By the time I got mine gummyjar and apex were the most used. So I'm not saying your wrong but there was not this much to play with on the X by the time I was flashing.

I'm glad you didn't take offense. You're a cool guy in my book.

EDIT:

PS - Any man worth a damn should have suffered heartache. The extreme emotion spurs self-evaluation and meaningful thought. Over a long enough time frame it's almost always for the better.

PPS - For clarification, just recently got engaged to my GF of 6 years. So for the poster who was so interested in my sex-life, sorry. I am not a virgin. Hope you enjoy being this guy though, good luck with that.

Hi,

I was messing around with titanium backup and deleting a lot of stuff I didn't want.

Today I tried to check the settings and search for games using the playstation pocket and every time I clicked the search or settings I would briefly see the menu or market before it would bring me back to the homepage of playstation pocket.

Did I accidentally delete something that pspocket needed? or is something else wrong?

The method posted by OriginalGabriel is the way to go. Trust me. I did it and was smooth as butter. I'm not sure why it has such a bad rep since I have heard of NO bricks from the easy root method. I think people see "Visionary" and get scared. It's perfectly safe for temprooting but a VERY bad idea for perm-root. The Gfree method is used for that... all you will be doing is running the scripts for Gfree instead of keying them in manually. No ADB, no hassle, much less room for error. Once you are rooted, get rid of Visionary and enjoy.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Naw, I agree with Pirateghost. Jargon exists for a reason. If one does not use the proper terminology, its hard to know what they are talking about. For instance, sometimes people ask "How do I unlock my phone?". Its impossible to know whether they are asking how to root, or how to unlock the SIM.

This +100

People coming over from the iPhone world may not know what all is going on here, so it is important to not confuse terminology. exactly like redpoint73 said, how do we know if they mean UNLOCK or ROOT or ROM?? do you know? if you do, then by all means help the guy out, i would prefer to not get the terminology muddled with inconsistencies.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] GothicFighter:
I'm going to buy my first android phone quite soon(this week if I'm lucky), the O1 P500. Heard about the touch screen lag bug and I'm quite worried.

Anyhow, I need to know:

1)If Android 2.3(Gingerbread) is going to fix this problem.

2)What is the best android version to run (heard about shorter battery life in the 2.2.2 version or something like that)

3)Should I root now, add a custom rom then the kernel fix or should I wait for 2.3? If it's the first, what's the best rom to use?(heard that CM7 needn't the kernel fix but not sure)

I'm not quite attracted of messing with my phone right after I put my hands on it... I gotta get used to it, personalize it and install all those stylish app.

Thanks in advance!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] danialrocker:
Hello, congratulations on buying the P500.

1) Wether the touchscreen will be fix or not, we will know when Gingerbread is released.

2)The best would be 2.2(froyo) stock rom.

3) Use devoid franciscofranco's devoid rom. It has Good tweaks in it without the hassle of flashing extra files.

Don't worry after you root your phone, you will learn how to unroot it.;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Arjen:
Latest Froyo-update (2.2.2) solved it partionally.

Rooting and flashing one of the latest kernels found in some threads sometimes give better results (for example the one from franciscofranco .

Can you explain "partionally"?

Also, is the fast battery drain gone in the latest update?

Thanks.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kynax:
Honestly, it's really not that hard to root and flash a ROM.

The stock CM7 mod is fine. I'm using mik's build (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=946354) and I highly recommend it.

Up until a few minutes ago I though I'd have to flash a custom ROM to install the touchscreen fix kernel :)) Then something in my head went "click" and I realized I can just flash it to the stock rom with CR and also use SetCPU and what not.

Thanks for the answers/votes.

[Acer Iconia A500] gidgiddonihah:
I was one of those guys who didn't know what the Asus Transformer was untill two days before the launch. At that point I wanted it, and was planning on getting it and was even awake when Bestbuy still had units, but I was going to wait untill I got to a computer and had more time. Man, was that a mistake :mad: !

Anyways i always have dissmissed the Acer A500 as a cheap tablet that has issues, and doesn't feel high quality. But I went into the store and checked it out for a few minutes and liked it. Seemed to feel nice and solid (Maybe a little too solid), and it has a USB port (With the new 3.1 update soon!). My concerns now are with the screen (Quality/Durablility), seems a bit portly (Doesn't look like an iPad :eek: ) , and still software issues+GPS. And then I have heard about their costomer support and I worry as I have bad luck with gizmos :).

I have looked briefly at the new Galaxy Tab coming out and I like the way it looks, the screen should be of great quality, ect ect. But there is no USB, or any connectivity!

I have TERRIBLE patience (HATE waiting) and I want a Tablet soon, but I don't want to buy and have a bad tablet and regret it. So any thoughts on 1, 2 or all three tablets would be greatly aprieciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
I'm pleased with mine, but still have a month or so before my return period is up to decide. I'm waiting to see if the next month or so of updates beef up the A500, or take the TF101 to the next level. Whichever one it is, I'll go for that one.

I like it a lot and will stick with it!
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
You know, there are at least 10 of these questions in both the TF and the A500 thread, you might want to search.

Anyway, my answer is wait. You're going to look for each and every problem you've read about the Acer and Asus, so I'd wait for the Galaxy Tab and start with that. If you don't like it, return it and get either the Asus or Acer. If you don't like any of them, I'm sure someone else will be just around the river bend.

Each tablet has their strength and weakness and at this point it's all about the build quality and the software.

Do you want a keyboard dock + more juice? The Asus is for you.

Do you want a USB Host port or need flash for your camera? Acer's the only one.

Do you want the best guarantee in getting software updates quickly and a super thin+light tablet? Samsung's got your back.

You've read about the issues.

The Asus is plagued with perceived light bleeding (not everyone), will possibly have a creaky backplate (not everyone), has no flash and has no usb host. Some people report freezing and rebooting, but this is true of Honeycomb period, so this is more than likely beyond the brand. The keyboard dock as of right now is buggy at best and most people report freezing/lockups while using it (known fact) and the battery in it runs all the time whether it's docked or not (known fact) so right now it doesn't live up to it's purpose unless you keep it plugged in.

The Acer's software is unrefined. We've had everything from people reporting they can't use gps without wifi (likely due to faulty hardware, not a general issue), the screen lighting up randomly (doesn't happen to everyone all the time) and the micro sd card isn't accessible from a PC while it's in the unit (known fact). The cell standby process is also running in the wifi only unit, an occurrence not found in the Xoom or TF afaik.

Some people report freezing and rebooting, but this is true of Honeycomb period, so this is more than likely beyond the brand.

The build quality for some, is lacking. 2 people have claimed their camera covers to be lifting, some people claim the side(s) creak and I've even read one person being worried about the charging port loosening up over time.

The Samsung isn't even out officially. You can read as many reviews as you want, you'll never get the dirty details until it hits the GENERAL public. The TF looked so good with it's limited release abroad, but when it came stateside en masse (sort of, anyway), we're reading about all these issues with the unit.

So I'll tell you what I tell anyone who asks. If you can, just WAIT. Obviously you can't wait forever, but wait until you can try what's just around the corner before you prematurely get something your subconscious mind more than likely dislikes anyway.
