I flashed one of the nightlies of CM7. Loved everything about it. Everything was snappy. But when trying to view flash videos I could hear but no video. Wiped everything reflashed the next nightly and same issue. Does anyone know of a fix? I'm running a gingersense ROM at the moment but would love to be able to use CM7 with some sort of flash fix.

I don't know if this is just an advertising scheme of AVG Mobile Solutions through their Facebook page, but when the banning of banking connections (PayPal, online banking, etc.) on rooted devices is pushed through, DAMN IT WE'RE REALLY F*****!:mad::mad::mad:

[General Topics] :
Definitively a marketing scheme... for the clueless...

"Google is blocking access to some services on rooted devices."

Well.. they did get that spot on..
[General Topics] kllrnohj:
Don't worry, there is no way for a website to detect if you are rooted or not. There's also no reason for financial companies to do that - they would piss off users for zero gain in security.

Uh, what? Google has *only* shipped devices with root capability so far, what is this "unsupported" crap?
[General Topics] Dirk:
I'm sure they're referring to video rentals from the new market being blocked for people on rooted devices.
[General Topics] sleeperzzz:
Well the security increases a litle on non-rooted devices. Or so they claim.

On a rooted device you tend to screw around a litle more and install some infected software that might steal more info then what you know.

They so call wanna protect you against that by not allowing rooted devices.

But as the past already showed us you can aswell get infected apps from market if it passes google filters.

So this is just marketing for AVG. Besides i think AVG is more insane then a virus uninstalling it from your device is not always working perfect.

Also it would become possible to detect if a phone is rooted or not. If google adds a tag when you are using a rooted phone and allows android to send that tag to sites/apps and those sites/apps read those tags and according to them give access or not well then we are screwed.

I don't think they will push it that far thought with the block rooted access.

They just did it now in an attempt to block pirating of their new movie service.

I also remember Google saying once in an article that rooting isn't forbidden and they won't block it as it is just a way to tweak your phone.

It just voids your warranty
[General Topics] crip:

[General Topics] Atomix86:
Sorry if I sound dumb, but what exactly have Google blocked on rooted devices aside from video rentals?
[General Topics] sleeperzzz:
Well except the movies they havn't blocked rooted phones from anything else yet

For now i don't mind the block that much since i don't plan to view movies on my phone but i understand allot of other users that are pissed at this.

I mean my phone also has to Voodoo sound control app installed so yeah it needs root for that.
[General Topics] I Am Marino:
Things like this remind me of the phrase I say that "a phone is only as good as it is unrooted" in case one day our rooted phones are cut off from the world.
[General Topics] archimedesmp:
I am not, but if I had to guess I'd say: If Google decides to block more/too many services on rooted phones we are going to see an "root cloaking app" or something like that, pretending the phone was not rooted while it is.

On Topic, as a computer science student with focus on security: Yes, rooted phones are more vulnerable, because malicous apps could gain root from a stupid user or a dumb user install warez/cracks/stolen stuff with virii in them. Thinking about prices for most apps it's such a users own fault if his data is in trouble.

A bigger problem are the actual security holes in the system. I know from my old iPhone that those are the biggest problem. Especially if those can be triggered from a website, like the pdf or tiff exploit (the later still present on iPhone 3G as firmware is no longer updated).

Oh, on that note, I have a nice topic, but I think I should start a new one instead... :P
[General Topics] MartyLK:
Not really. From what I understand, to gain root in a device, you have to find a way to exploit it. There is no bonafide root access from Google. The Evo 4G, for example, the exploit was found in the Flash Lite app.

[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
anyone else have this problem?

I have the latest HTC Driver.

When I first got my phone it was perfectly normal until I rooted my phone. I would have to try plugging and unplugging the Stock HTC USB multiple times for my computer to recognize my phone. It is getting pretty annoying. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem as well. (doesnt matter which ROM I use, problem continues.)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
You sure it's not the cable ?

Or, perhaps the usb port connector on the phone, or the one you're trying to plug into could have loose/damaged contacts?

Obviously, somethings changed or different. Try to replicate as many of the conditions that you had when it did work, as you can.
[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
i have three HTC phone charger. 2 of them are in perfect condition, brand new, and they both still give me the same problem. maybe, something is wrong with my phone inside?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
I'm talking about the cable itself, and maybe that's what you are talking about when you say "htc phone charger."

As far as "something wrong with your phone inside," you perhaps are missing or not understanding what I'm referring to.

Look at your phone up close at the part where you plug it in. Real close. You should see 4 little metal strips... Contacts. I was trying to suggest for you to check if there was a physical issue, loose, bent connector on the cable or on that part of the phone.

Or, on the connector of the port on the computer you were trying to connect it to.

The fact that you have to do it several times for it to recognize, but that it at least DOES eventually recognize it, made me suspect it's something intermittent, like a bad/loose connector, or a cable that has one of the wires inside it broken.

I don't know what other than something having to do with the usb connector on the phone, possibly where it's soldered to the PCB, that would cause it to intermittently give you problems.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Where did you choose to mount it? You have to choose. I chose "mount at next available mount point," and I found it at external2.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zn706:
It didn't give me that option, and it wouldn't use any other point, but after I went and created a few directories within /mnt like USB1, usb2 ect now it works. Thanks for giving me the idea.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbluebig:
Thank you guys

This thread saved me. I upgraded to rooted 3.2 with Tiamat kernel 2.0.0

Its great but I noticed it no longer had usbOTG support. I tried everything I could think of and was a no go. I thought I was gonna have to restore my ROM manager backup of rooted 3.1 but then I came across this thread.

Learned about USB watcher OTG and works like a charm. I love that I can also mount it to my own custom folders and I can now UNMOUNT. Such a needed feature.

Thanks guys !!!

I've looked through the forums. (if I missed the question I am about to ask in the forums, can someone link me to it? I am new and this is my first time posting, but I have used this forum to help me before)Well...Where do I begin....I rooted my Motorola Defy for the first time(this is my second Defy as my old on had hardware issues) and I decided to try to install a custom ROM(CM7). So I looked into it and downloaded Defy2int from the Android Market. I installed it and once it was done, I rebooted my phone and now it will not get passed the Motorola "M". It will load that "M" then turn off and start up again. Every time I plug it into the USB, a white light shows in the LED. I have tried factory reset and nothing. I know about the RSD lite, but my device is not connecting. Is there still a way to connect it? If so can someone please help me and work with me step by step so I do not mess up my phone further....Thank you :/

I had issues with mine until I did a full wipe, loaded the radio first (MR2.5) followed by installing LTBv2.3. Make sure the back is on too.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archangel:
A lot of what your experiencing is either a radio issue or a full wipe issue,,, I wipe data, cache, and dalvick cache at least twice and then load whatever radio that the rom suggests and when the rom loads up give it time to normalize, dont rush it. Be careful reformatting anything in cwm it will erase data on your SD card.
[General Questions and Answers] Xenphor:
Looking through the threads, it seems there are only two options available for a device similar to the ipod touch: Samsung Galaxy Wifi and Dell Streak 7. Now, the problem with the Samsung is that it is not available in America as far as I can tell. The Dell Streak seems too large for what I want, which is something that I can just leave in my pocket and not care if it gets banged up or not.

The smaller Arcos Gen 8 products seem to be more what I'm looking for: small, cheap android alternatives to an Ipod Touch. Unfortunately, from what I've read, they do not have access to the Android app store, which leaves them without any of Google's products and many other useful things I would want.

This leads me to my other questions about Android in general. What I'm looking to do is treat my Android device exactly as I do my Windows computer, where I can just browse the internet for applications, download whatever I want, and then simply install it to the device.

Is this possible to do on Android? Is it even necessary to have access to the App Store? Can I just go to the application's homepage, download the .apk file, and install it to my device? Do I need root access to be able to do this?

I wouldn't mind having a stripped down Arcos device if I could still get all the applications I want and just use it like I do my computer, but with all the variations on the Android OS I'm not sure if this is possible or not.

I apologize for the mess of questions. I guess what I want is whatever would be the closest

experience to just using my Windows PC on a small, cheap, Ipod Touch-like device.
[General Questions and Answers] PsHegger:
You can install the apks without the Android Market, but most of them aren't available on the internet in legal ways. On the android market site you can't download the apk nor on any other site (like:appbeain) so you have to look on the developer's site or search a torrent

For you first question Samsung has two alternatives for the ipod, the Galaxy S 4 WiFi and the Galaxy S 5 WiFi. The difference is only in the screen size, the first is 4" which isn't too big (for me). I don't know if they're already available, but I think it worths to wait for them
