Actually, no, I'm quite realistic right now. I'm forced to work on Windows, because Linux doesn't have the alternatives for professional software like Premiere Pro, After Effects, Illustrator, CorelDRAW. However GIMP is pretty nice alternative to Photoshop. But everything works faster on Linux than on Windows, it's a fact.

Better alternative for MS Office: OpenOffice/LibreOffice. Can you tell me, exactly, what makes MS Office better? If a bug is found on an open source program, it is reported and is fixed within days, even hours. What about MS ****? Well, it is fixed in the next version, where you have to pay $399.99 upgrade fee.

Also, good luck doing hardcore projects on a netbook without a decent GPU. OpenGL is a god in Creative Suite. If you want to edit your child's beach volleyball game, go ahead, but multi-track editing without GPU is slow and pathetic. Not to mention the thing that you said about notebooks and them being viable for editing.

Tablets and notebooks are computers for everyday use - mail, chat, movies, browsing, music, etc. If you want to do something better, you get a PC.
[General Topics] Award Tour:
Notebooks are computers for everyday use? Tell that to both my 17" Macbook Pro (2720QM/8GB/1080p) and 17" Envy 3D (2820QM/8GB/1080p/Intel 510 SSD). There was a time when I'd buy a Mac Pro workstation but those days are long gone. Laptops are powerful enough and the option of portability is much more attractive than the extra power. I now just have high end laptops plus a netbook which will be replaced by a transformer like W8 tablet next year.

My use case is much different though. W8 tablets and thin ultrabooks w/ touch displays will be the perfect consumer machines.

BTW: I'm 99% sure that the Intel HD 3000 GPU has OpenGL support under CS5. You can also pair a light DGPU w/ Atom Netbooks (NVIDIA ION) and also have OpenGL under CS5 for under $400. Next gen Atoms will undoubtedly have support for both. The next gen Atoms are going to step up their game to compete in this new landscape. And as I said, people like me will continue having high end laptops to do power work but for the masses these next gen Atom machines running W8 will do everything they need in a fun fun form factor and experience (something that no distro of Linux has ever gotten right).

As for MS Office, exchange + work in a corporate environment (agency is pretty lax but clients aren't) and get back to me. You and me both know that Linux has no place here.

I run all my servers on Linux but otherwise Linux is just a OS for a small group of up tight nerds. It's also funny that you called Windows buggy and crashy when Linux will be cause about 100x more headaches unless you buy a very specific laptop or build one that is 100% compatible.
[General Topics] nitrobg:
I'm not talking about $5000 notebooks. For $5000 you will build muuuuuuuuuuuuuch powerful machine, which does your work 10 times better than a notebook.

I'm talking about computers with $1000 budget. What's better - notebook with a mobile i5 dual-core CPU, running at 2.4GHz, or quad-core + 4HT i7, running at 3.2 GHz? Or maybe the faster...... hm, everything? Macs are slow and overpriced computers and you can't deny it, but let's not turn this into mac vs pc argument. If you want portability - go ahead, use a notebook. I need performance that I can't get from a notebook.

I'm sure that HD 3000 has pretty good OpenGL support. However you can't deny that external VGA will be much better than this. I'm not talking about smooth zooming on Photoshop, you might think of it. I'm talking about realtime rendering of several 1080i AVCHD tracks in Premiere or a serious composition in After Effects. Notebooks will never ever be able to reach this goal.

I don't use Exchange, so I have no idea what it is. I was referring to Word, Excel and PowerPoint as in everyday use programs. You are always talking about some special, rarely used programs by most people.

It's your own problem that you can't get your Linux to be stable.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] criscq:
Greetings.

I've been using the SonyBread ROMS by paul-xxx in my X10 Mini Pro and they are great, but I am having an annoying problem with all versions:

when I receive a call from someone (who is already saved in my contacts list) the phone shows only the number, not the caller’s name.

This happens because here in Brazil I have to save the contact's number with the area code and the long distance operator number, but when someone calls the operator only informs the area code and the number.

Example:

Contact> John Doe

Number> 0-41-11-1234 5678

[meaning: 0-(long distance operator number)-(area code)-(John Doe's number)]

But when John calls the operator informs only 0-11-1234 5678 and then the phone doesn't associate this number with John's.

Before I started using custom ROMs this worked flawlessly. I could have whatever operator number stored in the contacts and the phone always could identify the caller.

I think it read the caller's number backwards and read only the first 10 digits...

Anyway, as this was working with the original firmware, maybe there is a way of extracting a file from the original ROM and overwriting it on the custom ROM.

Does anyone knows how to do this? Or even better, has someone any kind of solution for this bug? :confused:

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] XxLordxX:
Try fixing the number to 0-41-11-1234 5678 instead of 0-11-1234 5678, just a try... My phone doesn't happens it...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] BPaul:
replace in settings language
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] criscq:
Hi, XxLordxX.

I went to Sao Paulo city this weekend and the phone did recognize some calling numbers.

The local numbers (Sao Paulo city's numbers) were working ok. The phone showed the number without any area code (1234-5678) and the caller's name appeared on the screen.

Now I've returned to my city (different area code) and the same caller from Sao Paulo was shown on the screen with the area code (011 1234-5678) and no name appeared. :(

In the example above the number stored in my phone was the complete version, with the operator number (0 41 11 1234-5678). So, the problem only happens when someone from another area code calls (80% of my calls).

And as I said before, this was working perfectly with the original firmware.

Very strange. Any ideas?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] criscq:
Hi paul-xxx.

Sorry, but I did not understand what you mean.

Anyway, I changed the language to English (United States) but the problem remains.

Any other idea?

Thanks.

PS: Your ROM is great, thank you very much for the work.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] criscq:
Guys, I have managed to solve this issue by removing the long distance operator code from all contacts and intalling a free app that inserts the programmed operator number at the moment of the call.

Now the phone is able to recognise all callers.

Thank you both for taking the time to help.

Cheers!

Is the thread that talks about using odin to go to stock eh 17 ext4? I odin'ed to eh17 stock rom. THen tried to install EH17 Hurricane ROM (v 1.3) after doing 3x wipe. and it just stayed on samsung screen. Any help?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Stock EH17 is RFS. If the ROM you are going to is EXT4 and does not convert for you, you will need the rfs2ext4 script. It may be in the CWM 3.1.0.1 thread in development. Then you would flash the EXT4 ROM before rebooting.

I dont think there are other open source OS's lol Win7 and iOS would be a VERY difficult and time consuming port (maybe impossible) but it would be fun..

It would be like flashing a new rom lol and if a friend with iOS says his phone is better just pull out your android and be like "yea...i have iOS...its boring...ima try Win7 tomorrow...can you do that?!??" lol

But yea id be more than happy with just the UnBrickable part working so we could get mods and roms from Nexus :D

Or that same person could whip out his iPhone 4 and say "yeah...I have Android...it's boring...ima try Win7 tomorrow...I can do that too!!!!" Remember, an iPhone 4 has the same CPU as our Epic theoretically this mod can also be done on an iPhone 4 as well LOL.

correct me if I'm wrong, but all this means, outside of the unbrickable thing, is that there's nothing stopping you from loading whatever you wanted, even at the lowest level.
