Apple does deserve credit for the what they did for capacitive functionality. They did that. I can't give them credit for centralizing apps. Nokia users such as me were begging for that for years but apple did it. Not innovative. They just did it. And nokia loses because they sat on their ass. But it does not give apple the right to sue the competition because the competition is hurting their marketshare. Even though apple has its place, and im not very fond of samsung, non smartphone related btw, I hope a company/companies put humility in apple. Geez. The smartphone is revolutionizing our lives in good and bad ways, and apple wants control of all of it. Another thing I dislike about apple that many people overlook and carries over to other things is proprietary connections. The international community is standardizing things like usb, firewire, hdmi and such and apple is ruining the environmental factor of it with their own hardware, and not to mention some of their software. Its things like this and things like the imperial measurement that puts fences between a world that is becoming an international community. Somebody should sue apple for advertising. How much advertising do you see for android? Apple wasnt the first company to advertise smartphones. How unoriginal. Somebody correct me if im wrong because I don't watch tv anymore or listen to fm radio, but hasn't google got this far with just an open source os and let the manufacturers, the users and the os itself do the talking?

I voided my warranty and your mum.

I agree that Apple helped mobile software by leaps and bounds. Not that we wouldn't have gotten to the same place without them but the sooner the better. Doesn't mean they own the rights to everything mobile...

Funny that you say that Apple advertises more than Google... a company that exists BECAUSE of advertising. But I think the reason why apple has better marketing is because they are the hardware/software side and they try to cater more to the individual. I don't mind that Apple spends so much on advertising but I do wish that Android would try to compete in that aspect. Google has never really cared to advertise itself. You need Google. That being said, the manufacturers obviously advertise their devices.

Apple copied centerlized apps from the carrier phones pre smartphone. Didn't the DangerOs have an an app store. Never owned a sidekick.
[General Topics] pukemon:
I am quite aware of that irony. But nonetheless google doesn't advertise too much of anything except what they get paid to advertise. Apples marketing is drivel. They sell more hardware, including their others products, on looks alone. You can goto other forums with threads specifically about form over function and many apple users will chime in they bought apple because of the look. Some will admit that hardware is equal or sometimes inferior to something comparable and others think if apple is branded.on that that apple did something magical to those intel chips or atheros wifi cards or whatever. It's sad really. Many of apples laptop run extremely hot. Users that take the time to repaste the cpu and clean their fans like they're supposed to occasionally will rarely have a reason to ***** about why is it so hot to use in my lap, or the occasional apple system that gets fried and melts the keyboard or something. and don't get me wrong. Apple 90% of the time specs better than average parts or occasionally high end, but sometimes that can t help the fact that it was crammed, not engineered into a custom design of less than an inch or whatever. Some of their products suffer in the long run because of the excessive heat. Occasionally a user will get screwed early on. Who knows. And I can't believe how many of their products hold their value. Works for me though. My next phone will be an iphone5. Ironic you say after all my ranting. It might be yours too. Put it on ebay unsealed and sell for at least a $300 profit or more. I made 400 last time after ebay fees and the free shipping I added. I can thank apple for buying my nexus one. The nexus one is hell of a lot sexier than iphone 4 or 3. And I like the iphone 3/3gs design. The 4 is fugly.

I voided my warranty and your mum.

I'm sure there was some phone that had some kind of application/program/feature store but it doesn't really matter. Apple didn't do ANYTHING completely original. They borrowed ideas from competitors and made it their own and now that android is doing the same thing they are being childish and suing them every chance they get. What I can't believe is that they are winning any of these court cases...

I bought 2 iPhone 4's last year ;) but that's because I'm stuck with AT&T and haven't been blown away by any AT&T Android devices. I sold them both for $725 on eBay and bought an HD2 and the HD2 was definitely a downgrade but I needed cash at the time. Now I'm up for a 2 upgrades again and it's looking like the Nexus Prime wont go to ATT so I'll buy iPhone 5's and use them until AT&T has an ICS device and sell them and buy one outright.

I personally like the iPhone 4 design and hardware and I always have a case on my phone anyway so the antenna was never an issue for me. I appreciated the ease of manufacturing a good case for the iPhone 4... so easy to make a box for a box... But I got sick of jailbreaking and looking around Cydia for months just to find a couple tweaks for my device then all the issues you can have when you intermix jailbroken apps that change the same files...

They have more money, better lawyers and probably have connection in the court. I think HTC is sueing apple alonge with others. I'm glade someone is fighting back. The sueing thing is really my only issue with apple and is why I wont buy a IPhone or use a free one my work wants to provide for me

[General Topics] iLiberate:
Agreed. Before the suing I planned to get a Nexus Prime and an iPad 3 because I really don't see the point in having a tablet with the same OS as your phone... yeah the screen is bigger but it's all the same stuff. It's like having a laptop and a netbook that both run on ChromeOS...

but then I also thought iOS would take a greater leap forward than it did...

[General Topics] iLiberate:
An interesting perspective. Short-term viability is decent but that's a horrible long-term plan. If they keep up like this people will start to realize that they are just following around Android. Especially if Android can keep all phones up-to-date over the air with ICS.

Also, they may have high sales for one device but especially as AT&T starts getting higher end Android devices more iPhone users will switch to Android and as iPhone moves to other carriers more will get iPhone. Be interesting to see how this all plays out. May the best phone win.

the best phone in the world is two coffee cans and a long piece string. gets great battery life too. and you don't have to hack it. customization comes easy with spray paint and you don't need a case in case you're worried about breaking the glass. there is none. reception is always good but you will never see noise cancellation. :D

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortydoggg:
Can anyone else confirm that the latest OTA update 4.53.651.1 is fully rootable with Revolutionary. It has been mentioned by one member (squidlymandingo) that it is fully rootable (flashes to S-OFF), but it is always better to have at least 2 confirmations.

The phone needs to be S-ON, and on Android 2.3.3 with stock Recovery to fully confirm that it works.

I previously ran Revolutionary on the 4.53 update myself, and it installed the Revolutionary patched Hboot 6.16 just like it was supposed to, however, the phone was already S-OFF from a previous unrevoked-forever flash. I also can confirm from other experiments that updating from 4.24 to 4.53 will break root, but leave an S-OFF phone S-OFF, with unrevoked-forever and Revolutionary.

If there are any other testers out there, the patched file can be downloaded from

http://www.mediafire.com/?bjxvuyc1mupcyzc

Change the name to update. Copy it to the root of your SD card. Boot into your bootloader, then go to your RECOVERY. At the triangle and exclamation point, hit volume up (not down) and the power button at the same time. Choose apply sdcard:update.zip (or whatever it says).

There is no Hboot flash in the update, so I do not expect that it will be patched so that the phone will not root, but hopefully some one else can confirm this, and do not need to experiment, so that accepting the next update will not affect those who plan to have root.

AND OF COURSE IF YOU'RE NOT A TESTER, THEN I DO NOT RECOMMEND ACCEPTING OTAS IF YOU WANT ROOT.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I haven't looked into the root as I already have root, though just looking at your 'instructions' I see a problem: when you talk about booting into recovery with the triangle and ! mark, to press up - I doubt that will work because I don't believe pressing up does anything to begin with, and you'd already need to have a recovery to run the update.zip. The triangle and ! mark is stock recovery, which is no recovery, and either cwm, amon_ra, or twrp recoveries need to be flashed; unless you can provide some documentation that says otherwise.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortydoggg:
I don't have documentation in front of me, but without clockwork or Amon, stock has a hidden recovery. That's why it's volume up not down at the triangle. I've used it for manually installing OTAs.

I have an old stock recovery attached, if someone wants to install and then try the RECOVERY to see what I'm talking about with the volume up + power buttons at the triangle after going to RECOVERY. I don't have the latest one, but it works the same as the old one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well, if you get any takers, do let me know the result of it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortydoggg:
Sure. Many of us would like to know.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortydoggg:
Well, after getting a lot of confirmations, 2, to confirm that the new OTA is rootable and after doing some careful experiments, I decided to give it a go. 4.53.651.1 is rootable the exact same way as 4.24, even with S-ON. So, no one has to worry if they are thinking about updating to the latest 4.53 software build. Also as I said before, updating from 4.24 S-OFF root to 4.53 will break the root, but will leave the phone S-OFF, so that it is easily rerooted. This was tested with both unrevoked-forever and Revolutionary.

I even managed to downgrade the Hboot twice from 6.16, back to 2.10 and then to 2.02, but it was tricky.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twiztidvandal417:
Updating and re rooting

I can confirm this works, well I think I went about it alittle differently. I nandroided back to my stock rom, downloaded the ota, installed without unrooting or flashing a different hboot. the update took, the phone was still s-off, all I had to do was use revolutionary to re flash cwm, once that was done. I reflashed superuser zip just in case and flashed amon ra. stock ota rooted and making a nandroid as we speak

I was trying to do something similar (adb root). maybe the scripting portion of the adb commands are meant to be embedded in other scripts using adb daemon?

in the kernel needs to have it set to ro.secure to enable abd access with root by default.

speaking of how does moto do its kernels? samsung uses zimages, htc and some samsungs use boot.img

[HTC Sensation] knights.JayTana:
We're in the dawn of mobile revolution; I appreciate the effort of Devs for fixing, tweaking, modding just for us to enjoy this phone... however, i have some queries and points about this dual core trend lately?

first is Android itself; i read somewhere that 2.3.4 does have true multi-core support..

quoted from one of the Devs over S2's board

Did a little more reading, and although Gingerbread 2.3.x is not truly dual core optimized like Honeycomb or the new 2.3.4 , multithreaded programs will still make use of the 2nd core for functions such as garbage collection, background syncing, preloading pages, etc...

Can Devs here shed us some light about this matter?

Based from infos that i gathered here and in S2's board; i think HTC's approach is more efficient (where second core kicks in when the first core is loaded) than that of Samsung (Full time Dual Core)... Why would devs is forcing the second core making it always alive? I mean, Android does run butter smooth with 1ghz single core processor (Xperia Arc and Incridble S for example), so making both cores always on will only have greater battery drain without significant boost in performance?

Instead of turning both cores on, why not just improve HTC's efficient approach?

making second core breath when 75%load of the first core is reach for example or optimize the governor of the second core when assisting the first core?

Please enlighten me...
[HTC Sensation] Dano79:
I agree with you on that this phone is very fast with just the way it is I don't even overclock no need to or nor will I change my stock kernal . I'm good with just letting it do its thing and enjoy my insane battery life and speed on the roms these devs are designing some great work on this board

Dont get me wrong guys, im no expert thats why im asking all of this...
[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
Madness? This.. is... dual.. core!

On a serious note, i don't think there's anything wrong with people experimenting with trying to get both cpu's to work together. However for a lot of people i get the feeling that it's all about benchmarks. That's all i ever seem to read about these days. Who cares about benchmarks really? They're not important, only real world performance is king imo.
[HTC Sensation] knights.JayTana:
LOL... ala 300?....

Thats my point... its all good if both SW and HW runs hand-onhand...
[HTC Sensation] supercobaltss:
The phone does seem alot snappier with the second core enabled.
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
That part only came about because they're trying to get both cores overclocked and get the governors to stick. The devs are trying to figure out aSMP architecture, and it's going to take a bit.
[HTC Sensation] ArtXT:
chef of insertcoin baadnewz, i think is already on it. as someone of the forum suggest that is it much better to enhance HTC stock kernel rather than both cpu are active, i tested it and the heat is much faster. also, i think there is a reason to this kernel issue that is why they haven't release a OTA 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 for asia yet IMO.
[HTC Sensation] knights.JayTana:
good to hear that... There's nothing wrong of turning both CPU on as long as its well optimize and efficient (S2 for example with its SMP; im on 30hrs mark with my moderate to heavy usage)... i understand we still have less progress on 2.3.4 build because its still new... MORE POWER to the DEVS..

I see you're new here, so I'll try being helpful.

XDA has a rich history of sharing with one another. This can be anything from wallpapers (such as this thread) to mods to applications (see modded Android Market .apk files) in any of the numerous forums. I would encourage you to take a look around some of the other forums to see how members are generally quite helpful.

Maybe it's a manners type thing. If you don't have anything constructive to share, don't. I'd rather carry on the XDA history of members sharing with one another and working together instead of being rude/inconsiderate/etc.

Thank you for the link. I'm sure it's fantastic for people who aren't really concerned with how the wallpaper is clipped when in portait/landscape mode, or the search bar and dock. I tried to trim these so they would look decent in both modes. If you don't care for them, the back button is on the top left side of the browser, you don't need to check back on this thread anymore. It'll do fine without your criticism. :)

[TouchPad General] ViciousXUSMC:
I like the Miku one.

As far as size why do I see post about resizing to 1024x1024 is that the only size the touchpad will accept or something?

As the screen resolution is 1024x768 so it will either distort or crop a different size image.
[TouchPad General] Moshe5368:
That is to allow the wallpaper to scroll with your pages.
[TouchPad General] Moshe5368:
Here is another of my favorites from the southwest
[TouchPad General] lar3ry:
The image will always fit in the 1024 dimension, and will always be cropped in the 768 dimension, so that whether you are in portrait or landscape mode, the picture will not be smaller than the screen in any orientation.

The best wallpaper are those that look good in either orientation, with nothing critically important cropped in the short dimension.
[TouchPad General] mountaindewmi:
Actually, 1024 x 1024 is the best size for the touchpad under webOS (no scroll wallpaper). So if you have the touchpad in either landscape or portrait orientation, it will fill the screen (1024 width).

Under android, it was recommended to use 1536 x 1024.

However, I downloaded a theme in the market called 3D (icons, wallpapers) and it has wallpapers that are 1366 x 854 and they look sharp when applied through long press on the screen, wallpaper>>3D. I extracted the same images and tried to apply via Gallery and its all blurry. I don't get this...
