[HTC Sensation] daSn00p:
title says all ;)

e.g. found Need for speed apk in the net. in the market i get: not compatible with ur device.

installed it and it worked. behaves like it should (i think ;) )

it just asked the same ermissions like the original. could there be some malicious code in it, which doesnt care about permissions given? could there be malicios code at all?

if there would be malicious code in it which wants more permission, has it to start an extra install routine and ask for its permission seperatly?

just a bit wondered about getting an app priceless instead the ~ 4 eur it cost in the market. or is it usual to get pay4 apps for free in the net?

maybe this all sound weird to u but im a total android noob ;)

thx for every answer!
[HTC Sensation] evinkay:
It should be safe but you have to realize that whenever you download apks from any source other than the market (even here) you're taking a risk...you just have to decide if it's worth it.
[HTC Sensation] daSn00p:
so is it possible that an app can do more then it requests permissions?

or if an app dont request making calls even a malicios code inside cannot dial expencive numbers?

if malicious code wants to dial will there come an extra install routine with asking for making calls?
[HTC Sensation] daSn00p:
lets poitn it:

is mobileplanet-waryam.blogspot.com safe in general?
[HTC Sensation] gottabekin:
This is like asking if it is safe to download from the internet. But my opinion is that it is safe for you to load apk from the internet.
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
EA Games dont usually work when downloaded off the net, They need to be linked to the market to be able to load
[HTC Sensation] anarchyuk:
It's called piracy and is illegal unless express permission by the publisher has been given.
[HTC Sensation] Flippy125:
Yes, all pirated apk's brick your phone and void your warranty after 72 hours. Stay far away from these and buy your apps ;)
[HTC Sensation] NikolaiT:
Unless you're a kid who's parents won't let you buy apps, then don't pirate, it's pathetic.
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Did you notice he said this game was impossible for him to download legally from the market?

I have this game too, as a warez too, what I find pathetic is companies that don't make compatibility for their games on the Sensation, or even more pathetic: they don't let us install from the market whille the game could work

=> In this case, it's the company's decision to lose money and force people to use warez.

I don't know for your country, but here, in france, it's even illegal for an official seller to refuse selling a working produce to a customer...(ex: a baker can't refuse to sell you bread saying "no, it's not for you", it's illegal)

I buy the apps that let me buy them. If no other possibility exist, if they refuse my money, I use warez too.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
inb4 Thread Locked because talking about warez is against the forums rules....

Generally installing apps from places other than the market are safe, although there is always a chance you could be installing something that could harm your phone.
[HTC Sensation] pushpann:
Yaa. Its safe...

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] MrCoolBear:
Hey here is something I threw together last night for everyone who wants the newest droid boot for a themed ROM, or just cause it looks cool :) It is in full QHD Glory!.

Credit to xploited, for the origional droid 3 boot that I used to make these :D

Installation has changed a bit, to install, download the color of the boot you want below, and extract all of the files inside. Put bootanimation.zip into System/Media. Put Droid.ogg into System/Media/Audio/Notifications for 2.3.x, and System/Media for 2.2. Just put the wallpaper on you sdcard and select from Gallery to use. :D

There are some CWM flashable versions of the boot animations there also,(Thanks CaelanT!) if you dont want to mess around in Root explorer.

If anyone wants a particular color just post!! :D

And by the way, I removed animated .gif of Steel and Green versions, page was beginning to load slow... The actual boot animation is the same as the Blue one, just a different color...

If you like it, appreciate it, or use it please press the "Thanks" button below! :D

Blue:

Steel:

Android-Green:

Again, remember, use the "Thanks" button. It's what drives all people like me! :D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] OSNPA:
OBE- OP clarifies now.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] MrCoolBear:
Sorry didn't say, to install rename zip to bootanimation.zip, and put it into the system/media folder in root explorer.

It's not a flashable zip. sorry

press the thanks button if I helped :D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Rename original bootanimation.zip in system/media and copy this one in there after. Reboot.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] OSNPA:
Just found these same instructions in another boot animation thread, it's all working now. :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Ran upstairs to look at this on my computer.

There is an audio file called out in desc.txt which is missing also.

<edit> Animation works...............looks nice.

Just rename to bootanimation as was said, and copy to system/media, not data/local.

I'll see about making a CWM version with audio tonight.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] MrCoolBear:
here is the audio :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] MrCoolBear:
Having a hard time testing. no matter what I do my phone boots with the original android boot animation, not even the att one. have tried all kinds of stuff...

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] zsr977:

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] MrCoolBear:
I dont know why sound doesn't play. i just grabbed it directly from droid 3 dump. anyone confirm it plays on their device?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] rjohnstone:
Bootanimation audio files in 2.3.x must go in System/Media/Audio/Notifications

Drop your audio file there and you will here the sound with the boot animation.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] MrCoolBear:
Thanks didn't know that, will update now :D

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Post deleted. OP updated CWM zips.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] msd24200:
thanks T, is all that you had to do is change out the images lets say from the blueCMWzip with the green images from the zip?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Had to edit the desc.txt file to add the audio, and edited the update script to change the boot animation name on installation. After doing the first CWM zip, it is very quick to make changes for the other colours.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] crea78:
Thanks for the animation!! For some reason, I can't find the blue CWM zip but I did get the green. Can someone point me in the right direction since they are not in the OP.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] MrCoolBear:
Hey all, again... thanks for the support from everyone. If anyone is having a problem with the sound playing, download the latest files and replace the old ones with the new ones. I found the problem in the desc.txt file by accident, as the problem was only present in the steel and green versions, which I never used. ;) The problem was not present in the CWM versions.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] redhawk79:
So dope!

Went with the CWM flashable steel. Looks and sounds awesome!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] droid_does:
love it!

though the volume seems a little soft on mine....anyway to make it louder? ;)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] MrCoolBear:
I can't think of any way to do that... I think it plays before the system sound settings, and I dont think I can make it louder with software, since it's in the .ogg format...

Sent From My Phone, Please Excuse Typing Errors...
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
I'll take a look at the audio.

<edit> The audio file is already at 111db, and is clipping. Trying to make it louder will make the sound quality go downhill faster. I did in fact drop it to 107db, and although the volume was slightly less, I could hear a change in quality already, as it was not clipping.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ratster:
Sorry I'm kind of new at this but after I copy the file to system/media it said "you cannot paste here because the file system is read-only".
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
You need root, and a an app like root explorer from the Market. Then you change the /system/media folder to R/W. It is by default R/O. The file system will only be R/W after you change it for the current session with root explorer. When you exit out of it /system will revert to R/O again.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ratster:
I'm using root explorer and my phone is rooted, when i try to change file permission on the media folder it give me a message "media permission cannot be changed because the file system is read-only" what am i missing here?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Open root explorer, navigate to system/media, look at the top of the root explorer screen and it will say "Mount R/W", (little white box with black text). Select this and it will change to "Mount R/O". You have now changed system/media to Read/Write.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ratster:
Hey thanks for your help, didn't know you can do that on root explorer.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:

That was nice of you! Thanks! :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] lexx210:
Can I request a red one? I'm sure a lot of people would love a red one and also considering the Motorola symbol on boot up is red it would make a nice transition. Also, with a red wallpaper would be awesome!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
Red... as requested. Tried to make it the same color as the stock Moto Boot Screen. Flash attached .zip via CWM. Enjoy!! :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] MrCoolBear:
Sorry guys I've been away awhile... I am sorry about not adding the colors you guys wanted. Ohh ya, what program are you guys using to make pink, the one I use cant... and red is the default color which you can find on one of xploited's threads :)

I just set up a automate action in Photoshop to change the color to whatever... pretty painless & quick now... just let me know if you need details or want any thing else.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jofel:
Hello,

sometimnes i have a slight flickering of the screen in apps with white Background (i.e Facebook, Gmail, Market).

Its is not really a flickering of the screen but slightly visible flickering lines. Its only in some apps and only from time to time and not 100% reproducable...

Did anyone notice that too? Is that a problem with the software or a general problem with the S2 or is my device broken?

I have flashed serveral roms already. And with original roms the problem occurs too.

Hi all.

Just took delivery of my dock kit, and it's very nice. Well built, but whether its worth £35 quid is another story.

Anyway, that aside...

When the default "Driving Menu" is enabled, is there a way to change it, especially to use CoPilot instead of Google navigation?

I have had a quick search in this section to see if anyone else asked the same question.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NatTheCat:
Im in the same boat. It would be nice if someone could do a workaround. Nice bit of kit for the price.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stratplayer:
How do you get audio to come out of the rear connector. I plugged my 3.5mm cable into the socket and the sound still comes out the speaker!

Have you tried it?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] alx37:
Settings - dock settings

ALexander
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stratplayer:
Yep! I should have read the booklet, it did tell me in there ;-)

RTFM!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tshoulihane:
I struggle to take the phone out cleanly using on hand - always hit the power button. Dock mode seems pretty poor to me, seems to get all voice activated with road noise - is the google one any better? (we have a samsung 'special', I think?)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stratplayer:
Another thing I've noticed is the terrible engine whine from the loudspeakers when its charging.

Now I tried headphone out socket too, and the same problem occurs.

To me it's a lovely piece of kit, but if you have it connect via Aux then u need to listen to the whinning noise from the charging.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stratplayer:
Anyone conquered the noise suppression from an in car charger? It's doing my head in!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tshoulihane:
have you checked it's not your car? Will try and remember to test if mine does this...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] karfeef:
i also have the whining problem when charging. after some investigation, it appears to be caused by poor connections. in my case i suspect the head unit, as i didn't connect the rod at the back to the car frame with the bolt and nut.

you can get a ground loop isolator for about £15, but they just mask the problem - should really get it fixed if there is an electrical problem
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stratplayer:
Interesting. I have a 2008 Ford Mondeo from new. I'd hope that is electrically correct, but who knows.

I am awaiting delivery of a new car (Audi A3), so I will see if this has the same issue.

It's a real shame because the AUX out on the device increases the volume limit sent to the head unit and it makes a massive difference all round, this limit set by the poxy EU rules on the headphone out socket of the phone is really low (83% of max volume) and when you compare the two on the device its obvious the car kit is better.

BTW it makes the whining noise out of the headphone socket too, when plugged into cradle.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] karfeef:
from what i've read, the noise when charging is usually from the alternator. do you notice the whine change when you speed up. if so, i'd get it checked out.

There is a method of basically powering the head unit direct from the battery, bypassing all the other connections and wires the juice has to go through to get to the head unit. probably what i will do if mine doesn't work after i've installed it properly.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tshoulihane:
I plugged mine into the radio today. From the headphone socket, no problem apart from a lack of volume (even on max gain, it is only just loud enough against the road noise). No background noise though.

Plugged into the connector on hte back of the dock is a completely different story. A ~10khz whine, which is present even with the 12V lead disconnected, and worse when it is connected. Sounds like breakthrough from a switch-mode power supply to me. Makes the audio-out on the dock not fit for purpose. Time to add my review on a fre sites selling them...

The other complaint I have is that it doesn't grip well enough to the windscreen.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stratplayer:
I agree, although I get noise from the headphone socket when in the cradle and charging.

I have raised a returns to send my unit back for a refund. It's a waste of time having it if you cant listen to music on it! Imagine listening to the SatNav with all that silence and "whine" on the speakers, it would drive you bonkers.

It's a real shame as the overall quality is pretty good, but it is not fit for purpose in my opinion.

Will update this thread if I get any more news.

Just posting a review on Amazon... found this review too

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing, 28 July 2011

By

Sean Houlihane

This review is from: Samsung Vehicle Dock Kit for Galaxy S II (Electronics)

For the price, this does not do well enough. Yes it fits well, and holds the phone, with an integrated dock connector. However:

It is a push-fit corner grabbing design, and I find it almost impossible to release the phone with one hand.

The windscreen suction mount is feeble, so maybe 20% of the time rather than removing the phone, I end up with the whole thing coming un-stuck.

Dock mode on this phone is almost useless, so plan on replacing it if you think it is a good feature.

The audio-out functions, but there is a very poor electrical design - even if the charger is not plugged in, the signal picks up a constant high pitched whine (even with the car engine off)

Buy a cheaper one, and you'll feel less hard done by.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stratplayer:
Hilarious, just posted your comment on here from Amazon, didnt realise it was you until after I posted it!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tshoulihane:
There's one more for you to find - and it's not a cut'n'paste... Maybe not live yet.
