[Android Apps and Games] LiquidSolstice:
With even more respect, one would be stupid to think the concept of a widespread AND successful unified app store on a mobile smartphone platform would have ever gone anywhere if Apple didn't introduce the iphone into the market. There is a reason why iOS is still the standard of comparison with the majority of smartphones out there (perhaps increasingly less due to the rise of Android, but still noticeable).

FFS. Humility. We need to learn it (and perhaps gtrow the hell up in the process) Calling iOS users iFanboys is ironic. What does that make Android fanboys?

Android is far from perfect. FAR from perfect. You may love it, adore it, whatever you want, but it's not perfect. The mere existence of custom ROMs that we run should be a pretty big hint at that. At the same time, iOS isn't perfect either, which is why jailbreaking exists for it as well. But no no no, we can't give iOS the same credit we give Android, even through both need root/jailbreaking to full utilize them. Blame carriers, blame Apple, etc etc, I really don't care. At the end of the day, neither platform is perfect, either is better than the other depending on where you stand, but it would be stupid to think that one is unimportant to the mobile landscape.

The correct attitude is being happy with what both platforms have achieved, and what kind of standard of mobile computing that both have played an important part in bringing to us today. The idea of everyone being connected to the internet from mobile devices being fully mainstream did not appear overnight, give Apple credit where credit is due.

This immature attitude of "oh lol look at this iphone couldn't do what my android phone can lolololol" is absolutely retarded and shows a complete lack of understanding of the mobile landscape.
[Android Apps and Games] jjsoviet:
Well, same could be said with iOS fanboys, who are usually more vocal when lashing out against Android users for not siding with the "high and mighty" iPhone and Apple devices in general. Most likely those Android people who show off the system's flexibility are those who get pissed off or want to contend against the dominance of iOS in the mobile sector; reveal to the masses that Android can be on par or even superior to the standard in some aspects.

No really, I've seen more people saying "lol my iPhone has better appz and teh best UI evarzz" than Android users do the same thing. That kinda ticks me off to be honest; that's why even I want to show them a thing or two. Call it a retaliatory act, but hey, the smartphone business is highly competitive.
[Android Apps and Games] judistira:
Yeah i see that. we shall give respect and credit to apple. i did try almost any platform of mobile OS, and they did contribute to what we feel now as we hand the android in some great expectation that the world of wireless interconnectivity with its humanly technology is so close to Life.

Every platform got its remarkable function within its era. we shall wait and see for prior platform of OS, for their own creativity and development to make life even better day to day.. :)

anyway, great Vid!
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
Why would you give Apple credit for this? You think they made the first smartphone?

If you want to give them credit, give it to their marketing department.

Hey there, just made my first attempt at a bootanimation and must say I was quite pleased with the result so I thought I'd share :p

I don't know how to make a flashable .zip so if anyone wants to make one I'd be happy to add it to this post, with proper credits of course ;)

Instructions:

1. Copy bootanimation.zip to your sd-card.

2. Mount system as r/w with Root Explorer or similar.

3. Copy bootanimation.zip to system/media

4. Set permissions like this:

5. Reboot and watch your new bootanimation :)

6. Press Thanks! :p

So I believe its on the stock rom 2.2.1, at least it is on my Galaxy s 4g. If I go into contacts I can swype right across a contact and it auto calls them or swype left and it opens a new message/text for them.

I love this feature and miss it in the EB GB rom, is there a way to flash the original froyo contact apk or some other way to get this feature back?

Not a deal breaker for me I love the EB GB rom especially now that I have my GPS working on it, but again I would love to have this feature back.

[Motorola Droid X2] pointNumberOne:
Friend got a new Droid x2. Path that got us here:

1. rooted using Gingerbreak

2. installed Titanium Backup, and removed "unused" programs

3. contacts now force closes

4. titanium backup won't restore missing system apps

5a. get copy of x2 /app/ directory from here:

Droid X2 system dump, wallpapers, ringtones - Android Forums

5b. copied all files from .zip above into a new directory

5c. copied all files from my droid x2s /app/ directory into directory from above, overwriting any that already exist

5d. copy the combined files back to my x2's /app/ directory

6. reboot... again and again and again

I'm guessing it's a permissions issue... but is there any way out of it? other than waiting for a .sbf?
[Motorola Droid X2] pointNumberOne:
When booting the x2 in 'fastboot' mode, it shows up in Windows as "mot single adb interface", however, "adb devices" doesn't list any...
[Motorola Droid X2] aDigitalPhantom:
try this fastboot it works for me
[Motorola Droid X2] pointNumberOne:
Sorry... Fastboot is brand new to me... What should I do with it? :o
[Motorola Droid X2] magicriggs:
I was in a bootloop after I got done using gingerbreak, and all I did was a hard reset on the device thru recovery. It fixed it right up.
[Motorola Droid X2] hillsmr:
Fastboot?

How is fastboot supposed to help? Do you have a Droid X2 img file to go with it?
[Motorola Droid X2] aDigitalPhantom:
well excuse me he did not ask for a img file, and only said that it would not connect...i don't think i will try and be helpfull here anymore...
[Motorola Droid X2] hillsmr:
I'm not trying to shut you down for chiming in. I'm truly interested if you do have any img files for the X2 as I have a unit stuck at the moto logo myself.

Android recovery won't fix it and it won't respond to adb so my only alternatives are fastboot or rsd lite which require an img file or sbf file respectively. I'm not even sure the X2 would allow a copied boot.img to be flashed in fastboot.

So please don't take offense to my question -- I'm just trying to learn more myself.
[Motorola Droid X2] pointNumberOne:
Progress? I guess we are able to (attempt to) run an update.zip file... but the update.zip file I found online saying it was for an x2 was actually for the original droid X.

Does anyone think it's possible to create my own update.zip file for the x2 that resets permissions on the files I copied over?
[Motorola Droid X2] nitroglycerine33:
The only way you can flash an update.zip is if it is signed. You can try creating one but since it is not a signed zip I doubt that it will be able to be flashed.
[Motorola Droid X2] pointNumberOne:
Hmmm... Do you think it needs to be special-Motorola-or-Verizon-signed?

[Motorola Droid X2] ninjasailas:
if you made a nandroid backup you should be able to get into recovery by turning phone off and just plug it into wall charger. them you can restore backup. if not you will need to sbf
[Motorola Droid X2] 03civicdx:
Just plugging you're phone up to the wall does not boot into recovery...
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
On the contrary. It will if you have used the bootstrap recovery app to boot to recovery mode but never went back and set it to charge only in the app.

In other words, once you boot to recovery using the app, it will always boot to recovery when the phone is off and you plug it in. If, after you've booted to recovery, you reboot and then go back in to the bootstrap app and set it to charge only, then it will only charge the phone when it's off and you plug it in. That's how it works for me anyway.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I agree. Even if I have installed BSR before shutting it off and plugging it in has never resulted in BSR for me I install BSR every time for it to work.
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
You shouldn't have to install it each time. Once you've installed it all you should have to do is open the app and click reboot recovery (or whatever). After that, it should work as I described.
[Motorola Droid X2] 03civicdx:
Well why doesn't mine do that? I have never went back and changed it...
[Motorola Droid X2] ninjasailas:
not sure why. I am on eclipse 1.3 and I just bootlooped the other day. I pulled my battery and put it back in. plugged it into the wall and it booted into recovery. then I restored my backup. I wonder if bootstrap being built into the rom had something to do with it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] saddog5523:
I'm totally new to anything that has to do with hacking or rooting or anything like that. So feel free to throw the 'noob' term around a bit. :D I have a Motorola Droid 1 that's running 2.2.2 and has a build number FRG83G. I would love to root it, but am not really sure on how to do it safely and securely. In a way it scares me, but I want to do it nonetheless. Could someone point me in the general direction of a step by step guide that I can follow that has had positive results? Also, when I root my phone, does it keep the phone number and contacts and everything that is on there right now? Or is that something I will need to back-up somehow? I'm guessing you do a full back-up before you begin the process which I believe is called a 'nandroid', but please correct me if I'm wrong. I would like to learn this inside and out.

Thanks!

So about an hour ago, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and the screen said "car dock mode enabled press --------------"

I know that PDAnet claims to be capable of achieving very fast 4g speeds...I believe the description said 20-30 mbps, and it's a non rooted app. However, it isn't a wireless tethering app, you have to use a USB connection (or bluetooth, which will be slower.) If using a a USB cord is acceptable for you, or you can't find a wireless tethering app that you find to deliver adequite speeds for your needs, give that one a try.

After a manual download/install, the data doesn't restore, so I lose customized settings, etc.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
I had a wifi only Tab before so I'm not unfamiliar with Tab devices. Or so I thought. I bought a Sprint Tab off Woot recently. I sold the Wifi Tab on ebay and basically traded up for better hardware at no cost.

Anyway, the Tab from Sprint came in today and I find I have two questions.

1. This Tab appears to have no internal memory. When I go to settings for the SD card, it only sees my external card. That's also all that maps on my computer. The Wifi Tab had either 8 or 16 gb internal plus and external card. Is this normal?

2. I was under the impression that I was going to have to activate this thing with Sprint for at least a month. That doesn't appear to be the case though. It does gripe at me to activate, but doesn't seem to be forcing me to do so and even without being activated has pulled down at least two OTA updates. Is this normal?
