you guys will be surprised how many things actually run off of some kind of linux.
[Epic 4G General] gjones77:
Many of the LCD/Plasma TV's people own are running an embedded version of Linux.

I have a Panasonic TH-50PZ700U plasma and it's internal OS is Linux.
[Epic 4G General] DexterDawg:
This. There are soooo many things that run some sort of highly customized linux. Most cable and sattelite systems do, tvs, I bet that new Samsung fridge does also.
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:
A lot of broadband routers are run on system on a chip Linux setups I've found recently. Makes you wonder if Linux will ever come to dominate the market.

Lmao, not gonna happen :-)
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
honestly if you think about it theres more devices running linux then there is windows and any mac os
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:
Oh definitely, the issue comes down to money unfortunately. Companies most likely choose linux for the fact that it's free, which saves them a bunch
[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
Not to mention the fact that with the right compiling you could probably get it to run on 3 lemons and 4 light switches :P All seriousness though it can be compiled to run on just about ANY cpu that complies to some standardize set of instructions (ie ARM, x86, powerpc...)
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
As as previost poster stated, it's a money issue. If they were to run Mac OSX or Windows on other devices, the manufacturer would have to pay for a licence for each and every device. Let's take the wireless broadband router, the Linksys WRT54G which runs Linux inside (and also has a community developed firmware also based on Linux the DD-WRT). You can pick up one of these brand new retail from $50-$100. There would be no way for a company to make money at that price point it they had to purchase an OS licence for each one of these, or they would have to sell them for double the price.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maidguitar:
Hiya,

I wanted to mod the UI and use X-theme and in my idiocy somehow missed that I would need 2.3.3.

I'm on a Japanese docomo SO-01C, and soon as I threw those files into their respective system folders and rebooted, I'm now stuck in bootloop. What options do I have to fix this? I'm rooted but have no unlocked the bootloader.

FWIW, the two files that go in /system/framework had no replacements, ie they weren't there before. Only had to replace SystemUI.apk in the app folder, which I backed up.

Not that I care, as GetJar allows for direct downloads from the XOOM, but why in the world did they just release it on there and not the Market?

PS. Mirror removed, as that is an unauthorized mirror. Sorry.

Big improvement over the early build I tested a while back. Its actually on par with the ipad version now. Looks and plays great although I still think the graphics could be a little better.
[HD2 Accessories] eyeisdasteve:
Did anyone ever think about installing/making this possible? Like with a spare Evo front camera or something? Just a thought. I'm not even sure if it's possible. But if it was I would be interested.
[HD2 Accessories] tujuhkalitujuh:
LOL: it would be impossible since no hardware support for front cam, the sensor on top left is a photo sensor which is used for Brightness adjustment and proximity measurement
[HD2 Accessories] XtremerNL:
I have 2 phone's with front cam and i think i have used them twice.

When do you need a front cam ?

Do you video call with your girlfriend.

No. i do not use it, and i do not miss it on the HTC HD2
[HD2 Accessories] eyeisdasteve:
I know about the proximity sensor and stuff. And I do video chat. And couldn't someone make software to run it. It would be interesting. Maybe put it on the right side...

No need for the hostility either. Just a thought.
[HD2 Accessories] DrewMullen:
maybe someone will mod a USB laptop camera and gorilla glue it to the front?
[HD2 Accessories] rr5678:
lol :p

I'm gonna install a Core i7 into mine - it's time for the upgradings :p

(upgrade spelled wrong intentionally)
[HD2 Accessories] traxandrew:
I think it's impossible. Use mirror.
[HD2 Accessories] backlashsid:
i do not miss a front camera at all
[HD2 Accessories] TeDeV:
now that skype supports video call. Front camera on skype would be a dream for me on hd2
[HD2 Accessories] ruben302:
it would be nice, but most likely impossible
[HD2 Accessories] :
So where are you going to solder that camera to if you manage to drill the plastic part of the center frame? I don't see any room on the motherboard...
[HD2 Accessories] poiuyasdfg:
in fact there has a most simple (and cheapest ;)) way to get a "front cam function" with your HD2, all you need to do is to find a small vanity mirror like this:

or this:

then open it in 90° angle and put this mirror behind of your hd2, in front of camera. now you can launch your camera app and adjust the mirror to the best position to show your face in app.

Done!

it's so easy! isn't it? the only bug is your face is inverse in app (if you are graduated from school you should know why), but who care! video talk is just for fun for most people! so you want it, you get it!

PS: you still need use a app which support not just front cam but also main cam, to do this. it's the only limitation my dud.:(

einstein is here:)
[HD2 Accessories] poiuyasdfg:
ok. someone has made a more "beautiful" mirror.

here's the link:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zameus:
Exactly! I'm flabbergasted as well! :confused::confused:

So here's my story. My previous EVO HW003 was returned to Best Buy for repairs because my voice speaker had failed. I could make/receive calls but nobody could hear me. I did voice recordings as well and nothing could be heard when playing back the recording. So anyways, I took it in to BB. I went with the Rapid Exchange which guaranteed me a new/re-manufactured phone within 3 days! Well, today I received my phone. Got home from work and began researching how to root the EVO HW004 as I had heard something about the newer bootloader on this particular model, and a little different way of rooting it. So I sat down on my sofa, and for ****s and giggles I attempted to go into recovery to see what would happen. I was expecting the red exclamation mark, instead I was presented with the white HBOOT screen with the following:

Supersonic EVT3 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-2.10.0001

MICROP-041F

TOUCH PANEL-AMTELC03_16ac

RADIO-2.15.00.11.19

OCT 15 2010, 12:07:00

HBOOT

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

CLEAR STORAGE

SIMLOCK

HBOOT USB

It's running ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5. I intend to flash AmonRA as that is my personal preference. I'm soooo stoked as I don't have to go through the whole rooting process! Has anyone out there experienced the same from Best Buy? Is there anything I should be concerned about or anything I should know before flashing the latest version of AmonRA. Again, I'm on the following:

HW004

Android version 2.2

Baseband version: 2.15.00.11.19

Kernal Version: 2.6.32.17-gee557fd

htc-kernal@and18-2 #15

Build Number: 3.70.651.1 CL294884 release-keys

Software #: 3.70.651.1

Browser Ver: Webkit 3.1

PRI Version: 1.90_003

PRL Version: 01115

I look forward to your feedback on this! Thanks in advance all! I'm not going to flash anything until I get some solid feedback regarding this odd occurrence.

It happens from time to time, they cant catch every single one of them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zameus:
I know right? I mean, the only explanation I have on this, is that someone returned their EVO, forgot to unroot it, or didn't know how to. It went back into the production line and fixed whatever hardware issues it was having, and they didn't bother to reflash the ROM? hahaha Luck usually doesn't follow me, but wow. I'm like ...wow right now! lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ocnbrze:
yeah you are lucky indeed. my friend just got a refurb and it came with 2.3.3 already right out of the box. i saw the sprint employee take it out and turned it on. i looked and it was indeed software 4.22. the fact that yours did not have gingerbread updated is pure luck and couple that with it being rooted......i would buy a lotto ticket lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zameus:
That's exactly what I was thinking on my way to Best Buy after work today. I was telling myself, "****, I hope they didn't update the software on it, it's going to suck if they did." The first thing I checked when the Geek Squad tech handed it to me was to check the HW version and SW version. I paid close attention as the phone tech proceeded to activate my EVO. I would have stopped him on the spot if he had attempted to update the SW. haha So, am I safe to flash the latest Amon RA? If so, can someone be kind enough to post a link to the latest version? I've been on HW003 for the past year. I'm almost green again at this point. hehe

Yes, I will be buying a lotto ticket tonight! haha

EDIT: I found this link for Amon RA. I'm going to flash this.

[Off-topic] DiamondJay20:
excellent question! I wanna know cuz I want Sonic 4 for Android, and given how open source it, it wouldn't suprise me if someone knows how to port Apple Apps
[Off-topic] SimpleFear:
Different operating systems. Apps and games need to be PORTED to android... You can't just install them.

It's difficult to explain without some computer/coding knowledge......

Think of it in terms of a game that comes out on PC, Xbox and PS3. The game is developed with console in mind and then ported to the other systems. Naturally the original is far better, it's what it was coded for and optimized for. The ports, unless rebuilt from the ground up, are never as good.

Just like you can't stick an Xbox360 disk in your computer and start playing, you can't install an apple application on Android. Porting is a pain-staking process, eventually a majority of apps on the Apple store will make it to Android, but don't hold your breathe.

It can be as open source as it wants, it's still a difficult and painful process to port it to another operating system. If it was easy every PC app and title would be Mac friendly and Apple/Linux users would have more than the small handful of games to play that they unfortunately have.

If you want sonic download a Genesis emulator and play one of the originals. Touch screen controller emulated controls suck though :(. Wish their was a better alternative.

If an app has been ported (think angry birds) it would be in the android market, amazon appstore or getjar.com (in the case of the newly released cut the rope.)

So I've picked up a HD2 and set it up to dual boot on WP7 and Android MIUI on the sd card, problem I'm having is that the wifi on both are super weak and mostly don't connect. I've tried different sd cards, different builds of WP7 and still nothing changes.

If I were to put Android on NAND would it fix my wifi issues? Or anyone have any suggestions on getting better WiFi signal on my HD2? I would like to keep this over my myTouch 4G just for the ability to flash different things but the WiFi is kinda deal breaker..

So, I have seen a number of other devices where people have changed the shortcuts within the Rosie. Will these same modifications work on the DInc2 when we get permanent root?

It's absolutely possible with a some reverse engineering and coding. I was the first to get it implemented on the incredible. I'm leaning towards getting the inc2 soon. I did not like the TB, and I need to upgrade before the tiered data cutoff. Hated the TB.

Well as someone who knows absolutely nothing about reverse-engineering or coding, I fully invite you to lean heavily toward the DInc 2 for your next device. :)

Your Uncommon Sense ROM looks great. I'd love to be able to switch the ringer to vibrate from the lockscreen without installing another app (which from what I've read doesn't always work quite right).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
Just a quick FYI as far as I can tell existing customers with the unlimited data plan will be grandfathered. They will not require you to change your data plan unless you change your voice, data or text plan. You can keep upgrading and changing phones without having to worry about being forced to pick a tiered plan.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
Now that we have full root, what would be the chances I can convince someone who knows more about coding than I do to release a patch that will change the personalize button in the Rosie to email or browser?

I'm not sure if it matters on the coding end, but having a modified Rosie for one of the GB ROMs would be ideal. It'd would be a bit disappointing to finally get a functional dock and not be able to use the GB ROMs.
