[Droid X Android Development] shukero:
OK Now I have to say something...

First off we need to talk about credit; while credit is due to the people that have created things such as Apex, fusion, fission, and other ROMS they have already received credit... and LOADS of it. thousands if not millions of people have already given thanks let alone money to the devs that have created these ROMS, so 1 person not giving thanks will not send these devs into a raging frenzy where they start ripping off peoples heads or anything like that.

Next we need to start talking about what XDA as well as the Open source community is, because to be frank with a lot of you; you obviously don't get what Open source means, or just overlooked it. The android project is an OPEN SOURCE PROJECT, with OPEN SOURCE CODE & an OPEN SOURCE SYSTEM.

This means that nothing, NOTHING is off limits to whoever wants it. Do you all know why ubuntu and linux are so awesome/secure? This is because every single person have access to everything that is in the system; including root access (hmm that sounds familiar) code, and system settings. This way if there is any malicous code it gets dealt with fast because so many people can attack the problem at once. XDA and ANDROID are the same, this being open source it means everyone can add their 2 cents as well as fix problems or improve upon the base features of the system.

So with that being said; those who said that this guy is "stealing" what the other devs have, should also be complaing to those other devs since at the very beginning they "stole" everything from Motorola, and mixed it with what they "stole" from google and put it all together to make an even better experience for the end user. And while you are at it why not just complain to Google about "stealing" the linux code they used to create their Os? See how this all gets out of control?

Now, XDA as well as other places like droidlife, androidcentral, etc. are places for the open source..r in all of us to come together as a community and throw ideas to each other. Naturally there will be some ideas some people like and others that they don't. This doesnt mean we will sacrifice the meaning of open source just because someone wanted to improve upon something done before. That's how systems evolve, HELL that's how android evolved! Google always looks at what devs have been doing and they sometimes take those idea's and put them into the system itself.

If these Devs should be feeling anything it would be honor that someone took the idea's they had and incorporated them into their own mix.

And there you have it!

Just incase someone doesn't agree with me all I have is this to say: You may not agree with me which is your right. But that also means I don't have to give a **** about what you have to say as well! Remember it's a 2 way street :P
[Droid X Android Development] chefthomas99:
^^^^^what he said^^^^^
[Droid X Android Development] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Complete bull.

Let's see you work countless hours on something, only to have someone else distribute it and claim it as their work. All they asked was that he properly credit the original authors.

The rest of your argument is ridiculous and not worth responding to.
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
your just incosinderate to what the man has to say. I credited him so grow up and stop pissing your pants over something that nobody wants you involved in. I mentioned a couple comments ago this was a past cause and if you were one of those people only here to say that I stole a ROM that basically get the **** out!
[Droid X Android Development] Scitzo382:
AMEN shukero, well put. All the haters need to piss off!!!
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
hey thanks i really appreciate this and of course shukero I appreciate your big speech! Jeeze haters just give it a rest!
[Droid X Android Development] androidphan88:
i would have to say i agree with shukero. His post explains the sheer beauty and power of open source. I am a network analyst for a very large manufacturing corporation and i will also choice an open source system if i can because of how robust they are and cost effective. I also agree that people should give credit if they did use someone elses rom so on so forth, but this was a bit over the top.

Also if you want to avoid threads like this visit rootzwiki.com great community there and i dont think i have seen a single rude comment or flameware yet on those forums.

Just my two cents. later
[Droid X Android Development] mrkite38:
Open source is a wonderful thing, but only the android kernel is gpl. The rest of android is Apache, and what about vendor frameworks? No source for those anywhere... 3rd party apps? Not usually.

Just be careful. People are not necessarily required to release their code for the community regardless of whether it's 'nice' or not.

If you feel someone is blatantly copying another's work and claiming as their own, report the post and we'll look in to it. Typically, with Android, as long as credit is given and sufficient contribution has been made by the 2nd dev, it's fine. Theming, however, does not count as development for this rule.
[Droid X Android Development] shukero:
OK so I have a question. I'm on the default .596 rooted. So can I just boot strap to this Rom? Or do I still have to SBC?
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
Follow the intstructions on the thing, simply bootstrap it! But wipe data again to be safe!
[Droid X Android Development] mcwoods:
gingerbread update

I am usling dark slide v4.2 and am trying to switch over. When I get into bootsrapper i get the error assert failed: apply_patch_check ("/system/app/accountandsyncsettings.apk"

I've read around and the most common problem for this is the .apk named to .bak but I dont have that.

any ideas? Thanks

also anyone have a spare google plus invite??? I want to try it out

micahelceewoods@gmail.com
[Droid X Android Development] shukero:
OK, well figured I've waited long enough to test out my First Gingerbread ROM since I have a rooted version of .596 ready if anything happens :) I'll post later to tell you all what I encounter.
[Droid X Android Development] shukero:
hmmm.. I'm getting force closes EVERYWHERE in this rom :( including settings. wiped data and everything... wont even power down correctly...

UPDATE:

Never Mind, I guess you have to reboot a second time after you sign into your google account. After restarting a second time, everything seems to be running good at the moment, I'll add more in more posts as I explore more.

UPDATE 2:

Seems to have some very weird connected apps. uninstalled power widget, and it killed task bar as well. I'll wait till fission sorry man :(
[Droid X Android Development] REDSCARFACE1:
Wen I flashed my data didn't work anyone know how to fix this keys
[Droid X Android Development] REDSCARFACE1:
Any themes for this Rom please. Got it to work thank you
[Droid X Android Development] cred05:
Same problem after I flashed it.
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
The public needs to create themes I'm gonna add this ROM to rom manager later..It'd be great if someone made a theme for this!

[HTC EVO 3D] firemedic1343:
Looks like Otterbox has already completed a case that has been reviewed by another XDA member. That's good news, but I like options.

For those of us that want other options, I suggest we email in and ask for support!

I loved my Ballistic Hard Core case for my Evo 4G more than any other case. An optional outer layer that provided hard core durability and I could peel off that outer layer and have a slimmer phone with just the inside layer. Here's their email: customerservice@goballisticcase.com

I also loved my Kraken and Cyclops cases from Trident. The Kraken was splash proof, never know when waters around, it's a great case. Here's their email: cs@tridentcase.com

Feel free to post the emails from your favorite accessory companies.
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
Ok I have 2 from Ballistic.

This one is back before the Evo 3d's release date was announced

This one I got yesterday after trying to find out if there was any more new info.

Sorry if the pics are too big, I don't see the option to attach files
[HTC EVO 3D] firemedic1343:
That's awesome! Thanks for posting that!

If everyone get's on them, they may pump them out faster or increase volume. I don't want a shortage. The Ballistic is the roughest, toughest case that I've found. And I personally think it looks sexy when you take the optional outer layer off.
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
That's why i'm choosing Ballistic too. I like the looks and it adds lots of protection. I never used a case on my Hero, but I'm not going to risk it with the Evo 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] codito:
I emailed Incipio and they're working on an Evo 3D case as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] firemedic1343:
Yeah, I went without insurance on my Evo, saved myself $84 dollars over the life of the phone. So I will be doing the same thing with the 3D, with the Ballistic I'm not worried at all. The water damage thing make me want to consider the Trident Kraken though. Either way, if the phone get's damaged I'll just get a cheap Evo 4G off ebay.

Nice. We're getting the word out! This phone is popular!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] HTCRALEIGHFAN:
what f-ing pisses me off is if this was a ipod 3d 4g there would have been cases and accessories out weeks be4 the actual phone hits the streets!

why are these companies sleeping on the evo name! ohh supply and demand! well its bull****!

sure i dropped $10 on a crappy rubberized case to hold me off till these so called larger comps come out with something but its so funny to see the little non name man produce a case or cables or a dock be4 a big name bangs it out!

sorry for my rant! just pissed!
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
Agreed...and the big companies always say it's because they don't have the phone yet.:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
This is crap, we have no problem releasing cases well before launch at tpu-cases.com. We have had Bionic cases made for about 3 months already :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
Seidio has "previews" available for the 3D lineup. I contacted them weeks ago and they told me that they were working on them, so it's nice to actually see something now.

Descriptions only right now, no pictures are up.

http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/6013.htm

Edit: They also have a case coming out with a kickstand. That's probably the one I'll be picking up.
[HTC EVO 3D] firemedic1343:
I appreciate your support of the Evo. I plan on ordering a couple of your cases off eBay. They aren't as beefy as I like(i.e. Ballistic Hard Core), but I have heard great reports and I believe it will hold me over quite nicely.
[HTC EVO 3D] firemedic1343:
What was worse with the original Evo is when they used a different factory and different material for the Evo. The iPhone case was so much superior. It was sad. That's why I went with Trident and Ballistic for the Evo.
[HTC EVO 3D] garzaroger:

Whatttt?!?!?! nooooooooooooo

they told me early july! I emailed them like two days ago. I hope you just got unlucky!
[HTC EVO 3D] garzaroger:
...it is true....

I sent the inquiry yesterday and she responded today...

I have a feeling the dedicated shutter and 2d-3d buttons could be getting in their way.

They wouldn't risk loosing customers with extended dates...so it must be that they are legitimately having design issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
WTF if they're gonna take that long i'm getting something else
[HTC EVO 3D] Greenkknight101:
That's a major bummer! i emailed them again on a different account, haha. Want to make sure before i go buy a different brand.
[HTC EVO 3D] garzaroger:
Noooooooooo!

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Now you've done it...she will probably respond September this time, I figure if we don't ask her she can't delay it any further.... LOL - :D

Seriously though, please let us know when you get an answer...
[HTC EVO 3D] firemedic1343:
Not good. My first choice is the Ballistic HC. But it looks like I may have to go with someone else.

If they get more interest, they may put more bodies, time or resources on this project.
[HTC EVO 3D] bmoreboy02:
I dont understand what there problem is. Dose any phone create as much buzz before its released as the evo and unfortunately iphone? I mean for the past few weeks the evo3d is all ive been hearing about and thats without a single commercial. I just emailed them again. Ballistic needs to get on the ball. Im not a big fan of otterbox but i give em credit atleast there on the ball

Looks similar to Unity, only Unity has true Sense 3.0 rather than ported and smashed with 2.1. I like the translucent lower bar though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Not that I have used it myself but unity seems to have a plethora of problems including missing calls and text. For some that is just unacceptable.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeeperOfThePizza:
yeah haha. that's why i dont use it :X and this seems like a daily driver for the desire. I can't see why we can port this over?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
Didn't say Unity wasn't without it's problems, just saying they look similar. I'm personally not on Unity at the moment either, loving RMK's G-Lite instead.

It does look very nice! id try it out but i cant port :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adobrakic:
For most of my contacts, when I go to compose a new message and begin typing their name, their name shows up multiple times on the list.

I have gone into settings and only chosen "My Contacts" in gmail to show, which has each of my friends listed only ONCE, but some may have multiple numbers under their name (such as phone & google voice number). If their GV number shows up alongside their actual number it's not a problem, since it's only very few of my friends and sometimes I actually want to send a message to their GV instead of their phone.

The problem is that for contacts that I just have listed once in My Contacts, which most have only one number attached to their name, they'll show up twice and sometimes three or four times in the list.

For example:

- I have John Doe in My Contacts under gmail, and his number is +1-555-666-5555.

- I type "John" in the contact part of my text, and the following shows:

John - (+15556665555)

John Doe - (+15556665555)

John Doe - (+1-555-666-5555)

The name and number are obviously changed, but wtf.. why does it show up in various forms if I only actually have the last one in gmail?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Liquid Smoke:
i think it might be syncing off any linked accounts you have? such as Facebook maybe. you can go into the [John Doe] contact wherever u see multiple of the same #'s and you'll prob see the number show there multiple times too, reason is because some people have their # listed on their FB account and thats prob syncing into ur address book too. and their FB default name might be the other name showing, as opposed to like the nickname or w/e you'd use for them on your address book.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adobrakic:
Thanks for the help, but that's not the issue. I made sure to go into Display Options and uncheck everything but "My Contacts" under Google. The problem still persists.

I know it's not a rom issue, because the same thing happened to me as soon as I got the phone.

Also, in the example I used (the name and number were changed, obviously), the friend I was looking at only had one number listed in the contacts list on gmail, yet it still shows a few variations on my phone.

Not really a big issue, just a nuisance.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikione:
Hi

I bought a hand crank charger with a USB port. The voltage/amperage outputted is suitable and trying USB gadgets they're powered correctly.

However connecting an HTC G1, it won't make any difference .. I.e. it won't start charging or look like it has connected to anything.

Anybody knows what is required to trigger charging ? I thought Android devices did not have the feature which iPhone use to block "non ufficial" devices from charging it etc.

Any help / tip would be appreciated

Does any one have this issue??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayharper08:
I've noticed after I did the update last week. I don't know if its related, or how it could be, but it seems like different themes I use from the theme chooser has an effect on mine. I'm sure its just coincidence though.

I'm using it as my dd. Everything seems OK minus no gps or mms.. But I do have issues sometimes where bluetooth doesn't automatically find my stereo in car it takes a few min to find it.

It's really fast.. Just read the thread there are fixes even tho temporary to the missing calls and text issue and themes.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedoman:
Would use it except that I can't receive calls when phone sleeps. It is otherwise seriously sweet. Will go back for sure once this is fixed. Great work by andmer.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
I have been using it for my DD for a couple days, the OP has all the bugs listed but mine for some reason recieves calls while in sleep and SMS too!... but I also still suffer from all the other listed bugs. I also noted that my vvm wont work..just gets stuck trying to register my device and then says that I have no data connection! Oh well I'm not worried about it, when the devs get it finalized I'm sure it will be fine..they are awesome! Also im using nemsis' kernel and its the first time my phone will run over 1.2ghz...its stable at 1.4ghz! and if it matters...2260 quadrants!

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keithn:
MIUI is using CM7(and has the same problems) and MIUIwiz is still on a tw rom so that is a huge difference. Other than that I don't know why your data would do that I haven't used MIUI but I'm on CM7 and it works for me (on verizon)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keithn:
In the CM7 thread some one listed an app SoftLocker which makes it so your phone doesn't go into deep sleep, more battery drain but calls are nice to get. It's working for me with CM7.

I just got a HTC Touch Pro 2 (Sprint) and really love it, but one thing that bothers me is the camera.

When I try to take pictures, the picture is VERY blurry and grainy, am I doing something wrong? I tried all of the resolutions and they are all the same. Not to mention, the camera kind of lags when I'm trying to take a picture...

Any suggestions?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rich2thad:
Gotta have good lighting ...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jr_2431:
Ive noticed sometimes if you take off the back cover and clean the lens on both the back piece and the acctual camera it can make a huge difference. I dont know how long youve had it but if its been awhile, that might help...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] swaters3:
The camera is not too good. However it does take decent picuteres if you makesure the lens cover is clean on the outside and inside. some people have suggested removing the plastic piece altogether. there are a whole bunch of threads about it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] elegant047:
What you describe is bad background light. You have some light profiles, so try them. The camera doesnt have much resolution, flash light is absent, but still its more sensible than a nokia from that era.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] potna:
The lens cover on the back will get scratched and it really makes for some bad pix.

I have a post about this a long while back.

But anyways, take battery cover off and try to take a pic and see how it looks. If you see a improvement buy a new battery cover. Or just the lens cover out of the battery cover. That's what I usually end up doing on all my phones. Sure the real camera lens may gets dust but its glass and its reccessed enough to not get scratched.

Try this and report back
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wateverweber:
i removed the plastic over the lens and i did notice a slight improvement
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] palatkik:
