[About XDA developers] conantroutman:
First off, I apologise, I did not pay attention and therefore my last post was irrelevant, allow me to respond properly....

Also, I hope that you didnt decide to edit your post because you noticed I was a mod, contrary to popular belief, users DO NOT receive bans/infractions for speaking their minds ;)

Couldnt agree more....

Im not sure if this is possible with the version of VB that XDA uses. It probably is but then there is always the possibility that it may not work smoothly due to the existing amount of tweaks to the system that are already in place.

The problem you describe is due to the "gimme gimme gimme" mentality of the current userbase and we are currently taking steps to address this.

In the meantime please alert us to any such posts and we can remove duplicates and tag items as [SOLVED]. We dont mind doing it if people are willing to let us know that it needs to be done.

It could be an issue, there will always be a certain "fanboi" mentality that would be inclined to abuse such a system. Some of the developers can be quite blunt (and rightly so) when it comes to people asking dumbass questions in a thread, I would hate to see for threads to be tarnished with downvotes (even if it is just one) all because some asshat wasnt happy about receiving a public dressing down.

There is already a Report button... ;) Use it, we dont like trolls, they will be promptly escorted off the premises.

As much as I hate to say it, I have to agree with the bold part at the moment.

I think that too much of the current userbase just want the easy option and want it now.

I think that we would need to adress the issue of discipline and improving the content of posts before we could implement a system like this, we are currently doing this but it will take time.

If you want to help, drop us a PM when you see something that needs attention or use the report button.

I think its unfair to say that XDA has grown too fast for the mods to keep up, we have a highly dedicated and hard working team of many moderators who give up their free time to keep this place running. New moderator applications are being processed at the moment as well, so expect to see a few more jackbooted, goosestepping, uptight internet rent-a-cops strutting around sometime soon. :p

The problem lies not with the amount of users we have to deal with, it is the amount of stupidity and ignorance displayed by some (too many) of them.

I guess that is going to come off as a pretty negative post but I am not against such an idea, I just think there are more pressing matters to attend to first.

If you havent already done so I suggest you read the forum announcement by Svetius outlining the roadmap for the site.

[About XDA developers] nrfitchett4:
I have noticed improvements in the last week over on the thunderbolt forum. It had gotten severely out of hand. We now have more mods and things are calming down a bit.

What I find funny is these newer forums that think they are doing it better just because the annoying people haven't moved over there yet. I guess we'll see if they are around in 5 years...

You sir, do a great job by the way. ;)
[About XDA developers] FloatingFatMan:
I agree pretty much with all of that. I think this is an astonishingly BAD idea as it WILL lead to exactly what you describe. Posts WILL get downvoted just because someone doesn't like getting told to stop being a moron. I say leave it as it is, the report button is more than enough if you think someone is being a jerk.
[About XDA developers] floyd0815:
I like the idea of this button or something similar.

In many ROM threads the very same question is asked over and over...

I am/was quite a noob and ask/ed stupid questions, because I...

searched the wrong terms. (language, spelling,...)

didn't get the right point.

waited the 5th time 20 seconds for the next search.

had a blackout.

was too tired/drunken/...

...

So a I think an "AA" button (for "already answered") would be nice which, if often pressed, smallers the (font) size of the post and maybe you can give him/her a hint/term to search for - without making a new post.

Also the hints would be helpful if e.g. someone searches the same false terms...
[About XDA developers] KrisHilbun:
Couldnt agree more... no more 500 page development threads with 200 pages of info!

but downsides aswell :(
[About XDA developers] wbaw:
I think a feature like this is badly needed.

Maybe if a post gets 5 down votes refer it to a mod to decide what to do? That should solve any abuse.
[Android Apps and Games] Cheetohz:
Just started a new job, I would like to keep track of my hours worked, tips earned, and a few various other job specific stats. Could easily write it down on a wall calendar, is there possibly something for the phone that might serve a simmilar purpose?
[Android Apps and Games] soberarmy:
I too would like an app that does this too.
[Android Apps and Games] tyl3rdurden:
if there isnt something like this already heck i'll write one. seems pretty simple. if you care though could you give me a description of the things you want it to do and how? Might be able to whip something up then according to that.
[Android Apps and Games] Cheetohz:
You know, I was thinking, possibly more like a diary would be useful.

I do pizza delivery, I plan on keeping track of tips, hours worked, milage, houses delivered to, hourly wages, company reimbursement, etc.

If someone plans on making something, maybe it can be generic spreadsheet and have the ability to add custom labels, ability to do simple math and add columns and rows. Though, I know nothing other than how to tap on the screen and read.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] HoneyNutz:
Does anyone know if a stock port of gingerbread is available for the captivate yet with the kf1 rom?

I really dont like the launcher/app screen that samsung has decided to use? I am hoping there is a theme available using the cognition flash but cant seem to locate any direct port!

Thanks all!

[Xoom General] rikrider:
hi everyone , ive just bought my motorola xoom mz604 , and i think its awesome because android honeycomb is really good OS, it is fast and smooth

but iam having some problems with installing apps, and i realized that most of them aren't compitable with the xoom, like the android games hawx, assassins creed and modern combat 2...

anyways i just wanted to know the adv and dis-adv of my device from an expert

thnx =)

sorry for my bad english :)
[Xoom General] willverduzco:
Answering the question in your title, the xoom IS good... very good, in fact. Sure there are a few apps here and there that do not work, but for the most part, everything runs fine. Additionally, the new scaling option in 3.2 ensures that more apps are functional. I simply love the beauty and elegance of honeycomb, and I still find the xoom to be my preferred method to obtain the honeycomb experience. Plus, being Google's reference HC device, we get all of the updates first.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
I like it :)

3.1/3.2 is brill for emulators too when you connect up a ps3 controller via usb!
[Xoom General] kwiggington:
Im thinking of returning my tab for the xoom thoughts?

Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1
[Xoom General] JanetPanic:
What about the Galaxy Tab displeases you and makes you want to switch to the Xoom? They are about even on features and such, with the Galaxy being slightly lighter and thinner.
[Xoom General] csseale:
Ummmm. Its the "google dev" device. With that said...

Moto is a horrible company

The xoom 3g has turned into the last tab to recieve updates

Still no promised 4g

Sd support is only soso...

I would recommend a samsung device...the xoom is a bastardized piece of hardware. Go with a device that is "popular" thus will be supported more....not the xoom
[Xoom General] okantomi:
I couldn't disagree more, but to each his own...
[Xoom General] tigerknight:
I'm plenty happy with mine, just a wifi though and no cell network model. That, honestly, is probably the issue with slow updates just like it is for my epic: the company that runs the network it's attached to wants to manage its stuff (aka install crap and extra 'features') and is slowing down the process. Sprint is HORRIBLE with this.

As for why I chose the xoom over others - part of it was price, it was the $400 32gb wifi model off woot.com. Second was that it has actual ports on it (micro-usb, mini-hdmi, etc) and not some proprietary jack *cough*galaxytab*cough* that you need to hook up some dorky dongle to in order to get a usb port.
[Xoom General] gqstatus0685:
I'm pissed that the Xoom 3.2 update only let's you read the SD card but not write. That's ass backwards to me.

I have to root this thing to get that basic feature. I think they still haven't figured out the issue that devs figured out. Other than that I like it and apps are slowly starting to catch up.
[Xoom General] rschenck:
Like most of the respondents to this thread, I have been very happy with my Xoom. I have had the chance to play about with most of its major rivals in the 10 inch space (The Transformer and the Iconia and a 7 inch Tab) and while each has pros and cons (and nearly identical tech specs), I prefer the Xoom for several reasons...

The build quality is excellent. The device feels solid and durable while also giving off a sense of luxury. Most people who have handled it have commented on how "high-end" the Xoom feels.

As a Google experience device (thanks to special ordering a US model), the Xoom has the best chance of the current crop of tablets to run Ice Cream Sandwich well in a few months.

The XDA community for the Xoom is the best developed of the current slew of tablets with many excellent developers and plenty of other users willing to help and guide you (and "gently" remind you when you are being an idiot).

I like the design of the Xoom, with the power button recessed on the gently curved back. The placement works well for me and I prefer it to having the power button on the front of the edge of the tablet.

Those are my reasons for choosing the Xoom as the first amongst equals, but as always, ymmv. I suggest you find a store with demo models of most brands and see which one feels right to you.
[Xoom General] kwiggington:
I like vanilla android and dont want touchwiz or the crap apps itll have

Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1
[Xoom General] kwiggington:
Plus no sd slot and only one port

Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1
[Xoom General] JanetPanic:
Fair Enough. Touchwiz might be able to be disabled when it comes out but maybe not. The xoom comes with a bit of crapware itself, dungeon defender and cordy are the ones that come to mind though there may be more.

It would not be worth the cost to me but to each his own. You could probably find a xoom owner who is fed up with Motorola enough to do a trade.
[Xoom General] drsteven2:
xoom

I totally agree with you. I bought mine with a $100 off coupon from staples. I initially wanted to buy the tranformer now looking back I dont regret my purchase. Love my xoom.
[Xoom General] screwhead89:
I hope it's good :D Mine should be here tomorrow :)
[Xoom General] kwiggington:
I just exchanged the tab must say i like the xoom better and i already have a spare 16gb sd
[Xoom General] kwiggington:
I second that

[Xoom General] Sistema1927:
Good, solid hardware.

Mine was rooted 5 minutes out of the box, so I have had SD R/W since day one.
[Xoom General] tigerknight:
I had to fiddle around with the formatting in order to make it work, but I know the problem you had and eventually got around it. Try ntfs, fat, or whatever - just mess around with it in your computer until you find one that it likes. I forget offhand what made mine happy.
[Xoom General] Almighty1:
Have a question, what is Dungeon Defender since on mines, I had to keep running it to get it to download everything but once it downloaded everything, it just goes to the title screen and then back to the Xoom's homescreen, I thought it was supposed to be a game but on mines, it keeps going back to the Xoom's homescreen.

Nevermind, looks like I had to tap on the title screen after it starts up or else it will exit automatically.
[Xoom General] bnred777:
I love my xoom...
[Xoom General] kwiggington:

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] DiDGR8:
So the takeaway from this is that Google Movies is looking for SU by name and renaming it MU (or just about anything else) gets around the "root" check.

Cool. Does this allow the Movies section in Google Market to show up?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] BroDroid:
From what I've read, yes it is looking for SU by name. You're root apps no longer work while in MU, just an fyi.

I don't have the new market on my NC any longer. I reverted to the older version. I rented the movie from my DROID with the new market. Opened the google videos app on my NC, linked to my gmail, and the movie was there ready for viewing.

Google Movies Root Workaround Script

I know it isn't an App (I'll work on that later) but here is a script you can run from a Terminal Emulator.

Just download the script to the root of your SDcard and then run this in Terminal:

sh /sdcard/googlevideo.sh

It'll Autodetect where SU is and whether you're running the script as Root or not. If you aren't Root it'll inform you whether you need to run "su" or "mu" to get Root. Once Run as Root it'll automatically rename SU as needed.

Download the Script here: http://db.tt/nNy1jCy

I started a topic for the script. If you have any questions ask there.

Hi all,

I've have a thread running in the i9000 forums but since I've put the patch online, other CM7 devices are supported and it seems more appropriate to start a thread here.

I've implemented this feature request. It allows you to use your external BT GPS mouse as the 'internal GPS' device. It's completely transparent to the user and all GPS applications should work. I've have a CM7 rom prebuilt on my website. Other devices can be built from source.

I need the code to be tested on other devices and other GPS mouses. Please follow the instructions below to enable this feature and report back how it works for you. Please let me know which devices are working and which aren't.

Tested devices:

* Samsung galaxy s + qstarz 818xt (I'm using this combination to develop)

Build instructions for all CM7 devices

Download the source for your device and setup the build environment.

Apply Framework patch

Apply CMParts patch

Follow the build instructions for your device.

Flash rom and report back if it works for you. Include a logcat output if you report problems.

Is there a way to flash this rom and keep all my game saves and such? Because I wanna flash and not lose my chrono trigger save file ahhhhh
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
It's saved on the /SDCARD i think , or use titanium backup .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ms0chez:
Aww what happened to the launcher in the beta build? I was really feeling that one.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
HeLauncher ? It's still in the ROM
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
**** yeah chrono trigger is the ****

Do a nandroid backup and after you flash the rom go back into recovery menu go to restore and then advanced restore and only restore /data then all your stuff will be back where you had it before the ROM flashing
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] KillJarrod:
Your the man. Best part about the sidekick is having a keyboard to map keys with for emulators.

Just finished flashing. I'm hearing Cyber Chick as I type this telling me about my bad partitions. I'll let you know if I find anything crazy. So the edit to the script to have it say 2.3.4; are there any benefits to that or just something fun to add? :-) I'm all about that hahaha
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jabrutal:
I've had the gingerbread rom for a while now and its legit at the least, but the one thing it didn't have is a workable landscape mode on the homescreens. tried both launchers and everything.

does Revolution have a fix for that?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
no i just changed that number from 2.2.1 no difference & that's linda giving u LagFix
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
It will have to be heavily modified to work in landscape so no.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
I will add as a add-on at the bottom of the OP
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
You have to enable rotation in the menu when you first flash any rom on the SK4G. Settings> Display> Auto Rotate screen.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
It won't work with TWLauncher only HeLauncher just saying . & IF you need help send me a PM & flash the ROM before commenting .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jabrutal:
I'm saying landscape mode works on gingerbread, but the apps are out of position and it makes it pointless to use it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jabrutal:
Incorporating a workable landscape mode to make it feel like an actual sidekick can be a new challenge for you devs ;)

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ms0chez:
Can't wait till the black status bar from the beta version is added to the add ons. Definitely gonna look hot with it.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jabrutal:
Just flashed Revolution HD; good work Rev and sdu. Works great, fast, etc. We'll see if my phone crashes all the time like it did with the gingerbread joint (unless that has nothing to do with roms).

Also, only complaints are (as everyone elses), sup with the white bar? I like the idea of a different color, but i cant see a damn thing lol no time and no numerical battery percentage. and where's the music app? or am i stuck with this ubermusic thing?

One last thing, what is that Ripple app and what does it do?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
The ripple app is a lockscreen app that can customize your lockscreen. I'm not a fan/user of it, but it is a nice app.

As far as the white bar, I'm almost done with my new theme TransGreyFrozen, which will be released when it's done either tonight or tomorrow, which looks very different, and will be a flashable zip.

Let us know if you have any crashing issues, and we'll help you resolve them.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jabrutal:
When i play music and then go back to the homescreen, slide down the notification bar, the title/album/etc of the song is hidden underneath the OnGoing processes. Idk if it has to do with the white notification bar or what not. but like its there, and i can click it, i just can't see anything. and yeah i'll let you know of any crashes.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jabrutal:
Gmail app force closes every time I open it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Hmm, I'm not currently running this ROM so I can't test it out to see if I can replicate the issue. Is anyone else having this issue?

Jabrutal: have you tried reflashing?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
It happens to me as well when restoring via Titanium Backup. Just go into Titanium and wipe data for Gmail. It won't force close afterwards.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jabrutal:
i did a nandroid restore. i dont feel like bloating with Titanium so i think i'll wait for the fix lol unless there's a way to fix it without titanium.

sdu - yeah this is my second flash
