CAN A GET A SECOND CONFIRMATION THAT THESE ARE OR ARE NOT THE FREE XDA APPS?

I installed lightblue on my g2 and it asked me to upgrade to XDA premium and remove the ads.

Now KOSH is confusing me.

are these the free, or not.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] k0sh:
the paid version has adblocked , but i try one of them , there is no ad ? ? ?

sorry to the OP : just i was try to clear things up :) ..
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] the_scotsman:
Guys, a mod has already confirmed they are free. I double checked and can confirm this.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
You guys had me second guessing myself there.....:confused:

I need to go lie down.............. someone make me a green one while Im away ;)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ssserpentine:
which shade of green? light dark ect. . . . .

transparent? ect. .

Can i get ur nin theme for htc g 2?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Hehe I was just kidding but a "Gingerbread Green" themed one would be cool :D

The NIN theme is for CHT on WM.

I havent played around with android enough to repackage it as an android theme.

I'd be happy to provide you with a zip of just the .pngs for you to do whatever you like with though if thats any good to you. I think the toggle switched etc would be pretty useless for android but I guess they could be used on a launcher or with desktop visualiser, the lockscreen files could be put into a widgetlocker theme or something I guess....

I need to pull my finger out an start theming for android....:rolleyes:

[Acer Iconia A500] ArtaxXP:
I would like to open the device, because I wanna try to replace the SSD with a bigger one or with a HDD, maybe 500GB.

Any Idea how to open the case?
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
Well, the external max is 32G, so I'd guess the internal max is also 32G.

The tablet won't give enought power to run a HDD, it might run sn ssd, but there's no room for one.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
There is a video on youtube about how you remove the back piece of the A500.

Sorry I dont have the link.

Please let me know if you are successfull!
[Acer Iconia A500] nrage23:
Not user upgradeable, more than likely the 32gb or 16gb of NAND is soldered onto the board. I have not seen a tear down of the A500 but all the other tablets I have seen have soldered chips. So it is not a SSD but soldered down flash chips. I had the Viewsonic Gtab which has 16gb of NAND and someone soldered 16gb more on one of them and that worked.
[Acer Iconia A500] ArtaxXP:
Ok, first of all the link to the video how to open the case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIvbWo_p3KI

Thx to sanaell !

and tadaa...I did it...not that perfect as I expected, because 2 of the 10 plastic clambs broke (not that bad, but be careful!)...but i got it open...and...like nrage23 said, it's a soldered down flash chip. but I forgot to check if its a normal ddr3 notebook ram. if so, it should be possible to replace it with a 4gb chip...anyone who wants to open the device again and ckeck that? =D
[Acer Iconia A500] lord_voldemort666:
I don't think tegra or honeycomb would support that much ram, though it would be awesome!
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Well at least 2 GiG ram would awesome!
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Maybe the OS wouldn't even read the 2 gig and a chip other than the original would cause too much power drain.

This tablet does have an internal PCIe slot but the connector isn't soldered. If you have the guts, you could add an extra pcie SSD, again, at battery life cost.
[Acer Iconia A500] dagda786:
I know it's been several months since the last post. Has anyone seen any progress with adding an ssd or anything else to the pcie in these tablets?

[Acer Iconia A500] wolverine423:
They weren't talking about an external USB hdd....:rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] skatin707:
I know that. I was commenting on the fact that he said it couldn't power an HDD (he didn't specify internal or external, and obviously we can't fit an HDD internally). Not only that, he said external max was 32gb.

:rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] Athrun88:
Most of the storage components in devices like phones and tablets are soldered right onto the motherboard. If you grab an external 500GB HDD like many of the users here, you can have almost infinite storage. Can't do much for memory unless you set up swap.
[Acer Iconia A500] skatin707:
Yup, and external HDDs are cheaper than micro SD cards by a long shot. Added bulk, sure, but the cost is worth it.

It would be cool to get a good sized SSD in there though, kind of like that acer dual screen tablet/computer.

[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Soldering a working PCI-E on A500 would be a terribly useful project, but to do that we'd need proper schematics. Someone with an A501 should be able to photograph the motherboard, but it would have to be on both sides of it, ie. it would require removing the whole board -- not something people usually wish to do to a working tablet. Also the photos would have to be clear enough for us to see all the small details, including the small text on capacitors. Then just compare that to the A500 to see all the differences and draw up schematics from that.

The hard part is the soldering itself though, too much heat and you burn the parts, too little heat and you clump the tin and so on.

As for replacing the NAND and/or mDDR3: there is no technical reason why it couldn't be done. Just make sure the power draw and voltage is the same, and for the mDDR3 the speeds, too. The problem is again soldering (industry uses soldering bots for this, the parts are very easy to burn), and in the case of a new NAND you'd have to duplicate the contents of the old one and adjust the partitions accordingly.

As for the truth: if you do not have several years worth of soldering experience do not bother. I don't want to see people here on forums crying about how their tablets are ruined because they failed with soldering.

Plain disassembly isn't enough, the pics would have to be sharp and detailed enough to see every small-scale detail. Video is not useful for that at all. Sorry.
[Acer Iconia A500] haag498:
Other than the obvious problems with soldering, it should be possible to use up to 4gib of physical RAM (ARMv7 is 32bit) and a lot of HDD space (2^32 adresses times 4kib clusters, say)... would be cool if we could make it work, but then again... even with lots of experience in soldering etc. you'd probably break more than a few devices before eventually having a working one. If you had access to soldering robots you'd probably have other ways to go anyway... As for HDD/SDD, you can just use an external one or use a NAS (network storage)... That's a lot easier and safer.
[Acer Iconia A500] Somairotevoli:
The original question was how to open case. The service manual shows just how to do that.

[General Questions and Answers] markpowell35:
Hi there, i'm using windows mobile 5 PDA's and the snag i have is the built in vpn connection, it works perfectly well, the issue is making it easier for the reps to use on the road.

in order to connect you have to click start-settings-connection settings-manage vpn connections... hold the stylus on your connection and click connect... being careful not to click DELETE!, which happens to a few of the reps,

So is there a way to make a shortcut on the start bar for examlple a script that sets the vpn connection going, anything really to make the connection straight forward,

oh and one to then dissconnect if it's possible.

I've tried using a 3rd party vpn software from watchguard but it has compatibilty issues with the wireless card in my device (unitech PA500) i had previously posted to resolve that issue but it's down to hardware and cannot be resolved.

Thanks in advance, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vortexmak:
Hi,

I have recently updated my galaxy s to Gingerbread (PDA: i9000DDJV6 / Phone: DDJV4 / CSC: DDJV6). It has 3e recovery

I want to root my phone now to carry out some customizations, install 2e recovery and maybe install a custom firmware later.

I have been going through the forums but I have a some queries which I couldn't find the answers to.

1. If I install a rooted kernel /firmware and something goes wrong, will installing the DDJV6 ROM from Samfirmware bring it back to the stock factory default config exactly as from Samsung ?

2. Does superoneclick root by changing some settings in the stock kernel or does it just automate installation of a rooted kernel ?

3. Is it okay to install fw versions of other countries if I don't find a DDJV6 (Indian) firmware ? Will it mess up the country specific settings ?

Thanks a lot for your answers

Hi,

I have plans to buy a Sidekick LX 2009 for use in Belgium.

Now i have read about that when i root my Sidekick that i can use the GPRS network from all the world is this correct can i send emails and surfing on the internet with my Data plan ?

Thanks.

Greetings,

Rudi
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
There is a lot wrong with that question. First, the LX 2009 was not on android, it was on Danger's proprietary firmware. This means that it's not a rootable scenario, as there's no root to get. I believe what you're talking about it getting it Unlocked which would have to come from Danger/T-Mobile, but I'm not sure if they're still giving out unlock codes for that phone, as it's now old and no longer made.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Matarick:
I wonder if you are still reading this but I think this link may help http://wiki.sidekick.com/thread/4481508/Registering%2FActivating+an+unlocked+sidekick+3+on+other+networks
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Matarick:
Well that trick doesn't work. I wonder if we can flash the Sharp Jump (offered by Cincinnati Bell) firmware onto this device? Then someone would have an old copy of the Danger SDK lying around and it would become grey territory in terms of legality of the use of the SDK.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] luis12285:
sorry to bump an old ars tread but my SK4G **** on me.... and back to the LX 2009 anyone know how to at least get internet running? apn settings are limited on this device and epc.tmobile.com is a no go
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
try unlocking the device. if tmobile wont give you the code, then find an unlocking service. ebay is probably cheaper than a regular service. either way, get the code and put a non tmobile sim in and unlock. then put your sim card back in, find the apn settings, delete whatever apn is there, and then put tmobiles current apn in. if that doesnt work, nothing will.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
Danger-based Sidekicks ran everything through their proprietary Back-End Servers which were shut down back in May of 2011. After that time, NO Danger-Based Sidekicks have been able to access the internet. Sharp has since tweaked their remaining LX09 stock and re-marketed the devices (complete with an Opera Browser with Internet services and a non-Sidekick name) to other carriers (including Mobility Wireless and Cincinnati Bell). their tweaks were not made public to be applied to T-mobile branded devices.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Matarick:
If someone can extract the flash through a JTAG or other flash reader, then the Sidekick LX scene may explode; if the hackers can bypass legal measures.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
Danger's agreement for developers was very restrictive.

To get any kind of modding started on the Hiptop, you would need some leaks directly from former Danger employees... Not only is that unlikely, the trail has gotten awfully cold. The Hiptop (and all its kin) has been pink and dead for a long time. Some ho killed it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Agreed. Regardless, the LX is a lost cause now.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nitthin21:
do u have a copy of Danger SDK..?? is there any way i can get it?? i have a SHARP PV300(almost same as sidekick lx2009) but cannot install any new apps into it.. i just want to install a few apps in it. there is GPS on the device.. but it is useless as it comes without an application,.. is there any way u can help me..??
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
The short answer is no.

There always were two different builds of Danger OS's. There was a developer build that was used by Danger employees and a production OS that required a developer's code to install 3rd party apps.

There's a good chance they still have two builds of the OS for your device. Sharp likely has a developer build they use in house--and you have a consumer version.

Because the catalog is dead and gone, I don't see any reason why they would have maintained the ability to "unlock" devices for devs. The whole dev code feature may have been deleted.

Even if there still is a way to unlock the device, I believe the developer codes were produced using a hash against the device IMEI. But, that doesn't help much because I don't know of anyone that ever cracked Danger's crypto method.

The Danger development website was capable of generating codes for approved devs, but it has been gone for years. So, you can't get the algorithm directly or produce more examples for evaluation...

And, you should be able to copy your device's location to the clipboard and use it in the browser. It's not completely worthless...

ROFL - great multi-pun replay!!!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
It's great to see the old-school Sidekicks get talked about. I still have my SK3 and SK2008. The SK3 was a personal favorite of mine. As far as hacking them is concerned, I'm sure there's a way to root them as the basis for the OS was a Java VM running on Linux if I remember correctly. Microsoft would have to fork over the code for the open source parts of it. The SK LX 2009 was a new start for the Danger OS and ran NetBSD as the base of the OS. The old SK's are CHEAP to pick up nowadays given their limited utility, but they would be the ultimate hacker's challenge as far as modding and breaking into the OS. One guy managed to do it and got hired by Danger waaaaaay back in the earliest days of the Hiptop/Sidekick. Unfortunately, it seems his work isn't available to download anymore. :( HOWEVER, someone else used his work for the basis for trying to get Android running on the old Sidekick devices: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-beginners/acUqRd9ZuRY

It doesn't look like it got very far, but there's some interesting information there. Anyway, I'm rambling a bit here.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
Yep. That was jgeorge...

He took over running the developer website after Danger hired him...

Ever wanted to have spell check and autocorrect running from a single dictionary across your entire device?

Gee. I bet Apple will market the heck out of that "new" feature next.

Yay.

Come to think of it, where is that feature, Google?

You going to let an old Sidekick trump you?

P.S. Real Sidekicks don't drop keypresses.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
Does yours drop them too? I thought it was just mine. Though, the problem has largely subsided with the most recent ROMs like RAGE4.0 and GOv3.2Bulky (which I'm running now.). still, it hasn't totally been eliminated. This thing will show flashes of what made the old Sidekicks great, but the execution by Samsung and T-Mobile wasn't what it needed to be. Still, this device shows that Android is really Hiptop OS 2.0 (sort of). There's so much in Android that first was in Hiptop.

<sigh> I really wish MS hadn't bought Danger.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
Microsoft wasted their money. But, Danger was doomed when the Hiptop 3 arrived. That design failed to innovate and move forward.

The Hiptop, Hiptop Color, and Hiptop 2 were all incremental improvements on the same core experience. At the time, it was ok because they met general expectations.

But, the Hiptop 3 needed to be something special--and it wasn't. That hurt.

The other problem was the closed platform. Danger had trouble getting development off the ground. The whole thing was a powered with a proprietary Java-based (aka slow) platform. They added MIDP support later, but that just encouraged quick and dirty ports--they needed native quality apps.

Danger's (Apple copied the idea) app approval process and catalog was a great idea to guarantee stable software and boost revenue. But, the closed platform also discouraged developers. Somewhere in the middle of the Hiptop 2's lifespan, Danger sued over Hiptones (a grey market app) and stopped giving most people dev codes. That chilled any enthusiasm that may have existed and effectively killed the device with most devs.

Microsoft still could have saved the platform. But, Danger shot themselves in the foot long before that by locking out devs and failing to innovate.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
I agree it was a stupid purchase by Microsoft. $500 million was just ridiculous to spend. I really wonder what they thought it would get them. The owners of Danger made out like bandits presumably.

I've heard that things like more advanced Bluetooth profiles like A2DP were kept off the SK3 because of carrier requests. It was also very odd how long it took to add support for MMS to say nothing about the issue of locking down the ability to add your own ringtones. I know someone suggested to T-Mobile that they make dev keys available as a premium download in the Catalogue, but that went nowhere.

Speaking of 3rd party stuff, I wonder to this day what else could be put on an SD card to open up features besides just the themes. There had to have been more to that which could have been done to gain further access to the devies. I tried one time with a friend to hack into the SK3 with my linux desktop via USB, but that didn't go anywhere.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
Well, T-Mobile owned half of Danger. Their "requests" and (shortsighted) hunger for a few dollars in ringtone revenue were very costly in the long term.

For years, there was a special T-Mobile flavor of the OS with missing features. That didn't end until the LX 09.

Many other features failed to appear bcause Danger wasn't taking the future seriously. For instance, the devs had software to store our emails on sdcard. The software was around forever and we all downloaded and used it, but it never made it into the OS... Somewhere around the release of the Hiptop 3, Danger stopped taking email seriously. Did they really think the LX 09 would attract a wide range of users with a dinky little mailbox?

We also had proof of concept for video decoding that ran all the back to the Hiptop 3. But, again, it went nowhere for years.

So many missed opportunities..
