You know what, fair enough. However, I meant to say your assumptions about who is rooting and why are mostly wrong. If your assumptions were actually true, none of the developers would be making any money from paid apps. Does this mean you are wrong? No. Does this mean you have no point? No.

I get your point about not wanting to root (at least not yet). I just thought your statement(quoted above) that most rooters are doing so to steal, was way off base.

Young people behaving this way is typical of any software. In my days, it was dial-up BBS systems and downloading commercial software. When you have no means to purchase this software, you find ways to obtain it and experience it. This is not really a major problem. As we mature, and advance in our life and careers, this behavior typically changes to more legitimate ways of obtaining software.

In all honesty, I feel you are just speaking as you see it. I have no problem with that. I have very little need for rooting myself, but data backup is probably the most important reason for me. I have mostly tired of constant rom flashing. I just like to use a solid stock rom that has things I don't want, or need, removed.
[Thrive General] blorenzo:
Agreed, I do just call it how I see it but don't we all? Perhaps I'm reconsidering my stance on the majority of people are stealing content via rooting. In fact I rescind that notion. Most people are probably optimizing their devices to improve their overall android experience. I truly mean that now that I have put a little more thought into it. Anyway I am currently enjoying stock rom and like I said will most likely only root to get an early glimpse at ICS or if Toshiba fails to support the THRiVE.

So... I've had my Thrive for about 10 days now and I'm loving it more and more!

Got NTFS mounting etc figured out... It will replace my netbook for dead dropping.

You're not entitled to anything. You obviously don't remember the dumbphone era and I have seen a lot of members act like they take all the cool things Windows, IoS, and Android can do for granted. It's a phone and it can text and call. A few years ago, they introduced the ability to REALLY browse the web with phones instead of that blocky, crappy, ugly built in browsers to dumbphones. Now, you get mad if your phone doesn't load something soon enough or if it takes more than 30 seconds to boot up. Just because it's a smart phone doesn't mean it has to do anything. I can take an LG rumor, call that a smart phone. I can take my HTC Hero, break the screen, pull out the MoBo and say it's a smart phone. It's just that since we have all these neat things our phones can do, we act like it's the standard and that android, iOS, and Wp7 owes us. That's not even close to the case. I spent 2 months with a LG Rumor which is known as a dumbphone and I learned that perhaps we should realize what our phones can do are us advancing as a society as a whole rather than "Your phone loads videos sooner than mine!?!!" *throws phone out the window* It's a peice of technology, wait 10 minutes, there will be a better one right around the corner. We advance far too quickly for this kind of petty, childish, bratty behavior. Basically, grow up before you ruin the phone-modding world as a whole by acting like you are 10.

Entitlement is a disease.

Most of the younger generations suffer from it.

I only put so much worth into my phone because it triples as my personal computer and music player. I'm a minimalist at heart, so I don't own anything else very technological (not including my TV).

I remember when I bought my Palm Pre. iPhone killer. It was amazing. Then the Moto Droid came out and I thought, oh gee, that's sweet. I stuck with the Pre until June, and bought the Nexus S. Thinking I was now at the pinnacle of mobile technology... only to realize two weeks later 249243 newer, better devices are on their way.

I don't feel I'm entitled to anything....

And I think that smartphones are taking away our lives rather than enhancing them. We txt, email, foursquare, take pictures but do the one thing that they were originally intended for to begin with....

COMMUNICATE.

When I get home now - I have to put the phone on a charger and try and forget about it so I can spend quality time with my wife and son rather then farting around with the phone.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Sorry, i'm too busy fart-arsing around with my phone to talk to anybody...:D

I do agree with the above. If technology is supposed to make it easier to communicate, why are people growing increasingly isolated from each other?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
^^ Atomic Fusion 1.5 will have the ext 4, if u r coming from Cog 5 v 2, because AF1.5 does not reformat, so ext 4 carries over. (Credits go to prbassplayer for pointing this out in the AF thread in post #1001.)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arbelnox:
Topic...

I'm interested in getting one WP7 (most likely HTC HD7 - like the size of it ;) ), but my concern is will all the current WP7s on the market will be updated to Mango? Or it will be like most Android phones which are heavily depended on the manufacturer and carriers?

Also, based on the info so far, are there any significant differences between the current WP7 and upcoming WP7 in term of hardware?

Thank you...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sayonical:
Yes all current wp7 devices will get mango. I have mango on my HD7 right now and its buttery smooth.

New devices this year will have a gyroscope, faster processor and gpu as well possibly front facing cameras.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arbelnox:
Thank you for your reply.

It's nice to know that all the current WP7 will be updated to mango officially.. (unlike Android which never knows the future when you bought one)

Well, it seems that current WP7 is snappily fast enough already :)

can't imagine how fast it can be with faster processor and gpu!!! :)

oh my, hopefully they can release the mango installed WP7 asap...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] day2die:
All current Windows Phones will be able to update to Mango.

That doesn't necessary mean that everyone will choose to upgrade to Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
Still talking a month or 2 for devices at least.

Nice that Android's upgrade path could be very questionable unless you have a highend newer model phone and every Windows Phone 7 device will get a huge upgrade.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arbelnox:
well, speaking of highend Android phones, with the rapid release of the Android phones, even the higher end phone's upgrade is not guaranteed... for instances, even Samsung Galaxy S took quite a long time to get upgraded, while Motorola Milestone or Droid series (which is considered one of flagship model) is just pretty much stuck with the OS that they were initially released...

Take a look on the original droid (milestone)... despite the promise given for Froyo update asap, still ended up stuck Eclair even the Milestone 2 is released already...

Only until this year then they release the Froyo updates, with many BUGS...

Hopefully WP7 won't follow the same trend

on the side note, 1 or 2 months are still quite long for me ~ lol
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] postalman:
Hi Every one! I dont know is this just me have this trouble or everybody. I was used search and found nothing about my problem.

I have some problems with srolling down in the end of menu (menu with programs) and same problem in personalisation. Ectually its not a problem but its annoying a bit... i've noticed that all desire roms (desire, z, HD) have this problem on my HD2 (TMOUS)...

Does any one had this problem? And may be there is some fix or tweak to solve it? :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] postalman:
any one????? seems to be only i have this crap or what???

actually this crap only on Froyo roms. I've tried GB roms and there is a bit different menu and its NOT lagging, but personalization menu still laging when scroll down to the end of page!

People say something!!!!!!!!! Have some one this issue or its just me?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mutil:
in froyo builds this is normal.to avoid this always control applications running at background with taskkillers (i use android assistant for this). i also use 128mb swap partition(knowing that may destroy my sd-card).and sometimes i overclock up to 1.2 ghz.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dr.Move:
Also, if you wait for a bit until everything in the menu is loaded, it'll be gone next time you use the same menu. unless you've rebooted, or used some heavy apps before using the menus again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] postalman:
ok, thanks a lot ! I've just installed htc desire rom from DFT and actually menu sroll lag still exist but much more less! Seems to be its a lack of LEO hardware and may be lack of some libs in desire's roms.

How can i restore the original boot animation on galaxy s2 ?

If you go into /System/Media there should be a Bootanimation.zip file.

Check that there is also bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg. If they are present then delete the Bootanimation.zip and reboot your phone.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
So in the video it says adw launcher EX which is a paid app, if its included in download you might wanna remove the warez so a mod dont lock your thread
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] RobZilla10001:
I didn't add ANYTHING to this rom, i just combined a stock CyanogenMod7 and Destroyer. Which means it was in one of those.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
Im just trying to look out for you, it shows adw ex in the video so i figured id let you know before it gets locked
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
so far no google apps on phone, i cant setup a google account, market will not open, there are paid apps if the screen gets locked while the camera is on it needs a battery pull to bring it back, FM radio force closes.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
I'm pretty sure you get the google apps from either rom manager or go the kush deck's thread in the evo development section and he has gapps w/ sprint vvm as well as regular gapps... I'm pretty sure its a, we aren't supposed to include the gapps but its not a huge issue if you include them, situation... Rom looks pretty cool from the video... I'm gonna give it a couple days to see if we can get the fc's figured out... Thanks for the hard work! :D Good to see fresh stuff popping up!

duh it is aosp huh, but not even letting me sign into google account, and im on cwm 3.1.0.1 and refuse to flash anything else so ill never be able to flash from cwm no browser so this is beta for sure
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] notsointeresting:
I said I was going to try this for a day but I could not get it working and I had a few personal issues

My review:

This is my little review

First off I want to say I had a major problem with the fact that there was warez everywhere in this rom. ADW EX, Root Explorer, and launcher pro plus where what I came across in the little time.

I think the moderators need to close this thread until it gets taken care of.

Besides that the ROM, well I couldn't even get it set up. Rom manager was outdated but couldn't update it in market because it would f/c so I could not flash gapps from rom manager constant browser f/c so I couldn't dl a gapps flashable (my computer is out) so I couldn't really use the rom fully

As for my impressions it looks like straight cm7 with a few warez apps and a couple fonts and a some animation changer that I didn't try but in previews looked cool

All in all I would call this ROM unstable and unusable for right now. Needs work. And I know you said you didnt add anything but these pay-for apps need to leave the ROM

I know this may sound harsh but it's only to make the ROM better. I hope you take what I have to say into consideration :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] one_love_420:
I went checked out the original rom for the evo and it has all the warez apps in it. So he was being honest. I think that one should be locked as well, until those apps can be removed.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] thronnos:
Idk, it seems really cool to have some of those paid apps built in... I know for one I Wouldn't mind the rom being built around apps I already use or want to use.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] af974:
Thread Re-opened, OP fixed the rom deleting the paid apps.

I have to say that he didn't on purpose, he used the other source rom (under investigation) and in good faith he didn't check it, well i say that sometimes it could happen, anyway, i asked him to remove the paid apps that i've found, if someone think that there are some others, please, pm me or OP so he can fix it.

Thanks all for cooperation and thanks to OP.

As for the other issues people have had, I can't seem to replicate them. I'll be back around my fiance's shift in the next few days and see what other issues she's had since using it everyday. Hopefully can eliminate them if I can repeat them.

Yea i get it you were just porting the rom that already had the warez in there.

Sorry if in my post I made the fustration pointed at you that wasn't my intention lol.

If i remember my problem was getting GAPPS to download. there was no way for me to do it.

I had tried ROM manager to flash GAPPS and that wouldnt work because it said ROM manager was an "outdated" version.

So i tried to go to the market and that would F/C "which made me need gapps more" and then the browser would force close so i couldnt actually download a flashable zip for GAPPS. So i could never actually get it set up.

Hope that helps.

For me it was just a few different problems that ended up all coming together
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] RobZilla10001:
Whenever I flashed it and linked my Google account, it popped a prompt asking if I wanted to download gapps and then popped a list of them for me to select from.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bigfdaddy:
Anything new on this would love an update to this rom....
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] RobZilla10001:
I've been playing around with this as of late and have decided not to update this rom based on the following:

A.) The differences between this rom and CM7 are minute (other than included apps) and the differences only seem to make this rom buggy and unstable.

B.) The moral implications of basing this rom on one which is obviously overrun with piracy are too much.

That being said, I plan to start developing a new rom for the shift soon, hopefully within the next few months, but right now I don't have the necessary time.

Thanks to all for your interest in this.

[HTC EVO 3D] johnyardavid:
Wellllll, first order of business, not a troll thread. I am genuinely interested. Secondly, I can't get any other offers because I only qualify for the $75 off credit on Sep 1st. I also have the Epic, it is breaking and so instead of paying the cash for insurance I would rather put it towards the 3d, which I want... I will look on craigslist and elsewhere. I just would rather buy from xda member because I feel like I could trust that the phone was taken care of. Thanks for all the replies.

There are 3 for sale in the market I believe
[HTC EVO 3D] southern87:
Do what I did. Add a new line, trade in your epic and get the 3d at the discount price minus the trade in. Then put the new line on seasonal hold. They kinda of goofed mine up and I think took the new line off ha-ha.

I got a 3d for 50 bucks and I'll be paying like 100 or 150 to have the line taken off if it does show up on my act.
