[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
Yes, but a Mercedes from Apple will get timely updates that work with ALL Apple Mercedes. You also get a phone number to call if your Mercedes software acts up. You also don't have to worry about gas only working on another Mercedes and not the one you have (fragmentation). Also, you get tens of thousands of roads that work with your Mercedes and not just a few. :p

Sometimes, people just want to avoid the complicated and they get something that works. Some may find the iPad overpriced, but I think $700 phones are... Whatever works for you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thebadfrog:
No you don't, you want to argue apples and oranges and troll. You don't want a reasonable conversation. You want agreement with your point of view.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thebadfrog:
I don't disagree with that at all. This is my main complaint with Android right now. My point was that telling me iPad is not overpriced by comparing it to the overpriced Samsung is silly. I don't have to buy a Samsung. I can buy a Transformer and get the same thing for less money
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
I am regularly assaulted by ifanboys about why I bought the TF instead of the ipad. I'm sure we have all experienced this, since we are living in a sea of ifanboys.

I've sat down and gone through point by point with these fanboys why the transformer is better for me. I've showed them everything from the keyboard option to the usb ports to the 500 GB hard drive I added in and more. I have also pointed out that most of these guys carry around both their laptops and their ipads while I only carry around my TF. And despite our many conversations where these fanboys ultimately could not find a legit reason why their ipad 2s are better, they still tell me regularly that I should have gotten an ipad 2.

Like I said, these guys only bought their ipad 2 for media. They don't even use them to read pdf files. Whenever the occasion comes up, they would pull out their humongous laptops. Where I work we have to look up specs a lot. This is pretty much true in any engineering field. Everything has been standardized, so I just take the TF out of the dock and look up specs. The ifanboys don't even use their ipads for that. They actually would take out their humongous laptops just to look up some numbers. Their excuse is they don't want to damage their ipads. But knowing these guys, I know better. They really don't know how to incorporate the ipad into their work. They bought the ipad 2 just because it was cool.

$500 for web surfing, email, and movie seems like a waste of money to me. $380 that I put into my TF was a well made investment considering I use it for work and leisure.

It alright buys.... Both are good products and we can all choose what we like best.

I'm not an Apple fan, but they do make good products that work very well. They do charge a premium for their products, but that's their prerogative. The market supports it so why not. Personally I'm not willing, but that's me.

There are things I don't like about Apple as a company, but I will not fault anyone for preferring their products. What they make is good for the masses non-tech people.

What I don;t like is when my buddy make comments like, "you should of just gotten an iPad" or something along those lines. Truth is apple is a perfect fit for him because he just not very bright and simple suits him. Not that those are the only people that like apple. But in his case it's true. Buy you Apple product and be happy with it, and don't bother me about choice and visa versa.

Apple is absolutely more popular. Doesn't mean android is bombing, they are just hold a smaller market share. The Transformer demand has far exceeded expectations and they had a hard time keeping up with demand, at least for at the beginning. So, there is a market for other Tablets, be it a smaller demand.

Just because you're assaulted by ifanboys, you don't have to buy competing device to get even.

Anyway, if you go to Engadget, you'll realize nowadays that android fanboy is even worse. Last time ifanboys are terrible. Nowadays, android fanboy way pass the terribleness of ifanboys after android winning the market.:cool:

Ah, yes, a common misconception. Marketing is actually much more than just "advertising." Here are the four P's of marketing, as they're called:

1. Product: making a product that the market wants, with the right features, benefits, aesthetics, etc.

2. Pricing: pricing the product according to a strategy (e.g., low price leader to move volume, high price leader to maintain margins, etc.)

3. Promotions: doing things (sales, advertising, direct mail, social media, discounting, specials, partnerships, development relations, public relations, etc.) to make the market aware of and interested in the product

4. Place (distribution): getting the product into the hands of the consumer in the most efficient manner possible

So, when I say Apple has done a good job of marketing, I mean just that: Marketing. And, clearly, they've done a great job at each and every element I list here, and then some.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AlexTheStampede:
That's what I hate about Apple: their most successful product is the fanboy... So successful that nowadays it spread to other brands. Once the idiot all mighty and always superior elitist was an Apple exclusive, now you get plenty of them for any recognizable brand! Sadly it mixes well with the feeling of freedom that open source lovers have, and that's probably the worst mix you could get. Still I think the worst thing to discuss is a web browser, those are so important nowadays that a disagreement could lead to an holy war XD
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
Xbox360 Says hello. A classic example of when something is broken beyond belief, ship it anyway and paper over the cracks with a ****load of marketing money to spend on grassroots astroturfing, bad-mouthing and FUD spreading the competition, brainwashing consumers and bribing the media.

Whats funny is most people own PCs with ASUS boards they just don't know it. I think it's something like 80% of all off the shelf PCs have an ASUS motherboard in them.

I have had a lot of Android devices and ASUS is releasing updates quicker than and OE I have ever seen. And they can't leave us in the dust for a little bit anyway. Google mandated that the MFGs have to release all updates released within 1 year of the product launch date.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dr.m0x:
Looks like Germany just banned the Galaxy Tab. The worst bit is the Patent Apple used to get it banned doesn't even look like the iPad - it looks like a Galaxy Tab. Talk about BS. May as well just patent a drawing of Steve Jobs face and then sue him for wearing it.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] system02:
Hi,

as some (stupid) designer at Sony Ericsson decided to make the notification LED very small AND put it on the side, I would like to know if there's ANY kind of possibility to use the 2 LEDs between the keys to work as notification indicator?

Is/will this be possible?

Thank you :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XTCrefugee:
Light Flow

Light Flow works on my Arc: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite

It allows you to set the "button backlight LED" (aka the ones between the front buttons) to come on for specific notifications. It also has lots of other options for customizing your notifications (side LED colour, different vibration patterns, etc).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] system02:
Thank you!

Do I need to root the Arc or does it work out of the box?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cholerabob:
Hummm can't make this app work
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
You will most likely need to be rooted to make this app work as it will need to change settings in your system files.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XTCrefugee:
I am rooted, but didn't get a root notification when configuring Light Flow so I presume it's not needed.

It seems to be working fine for Enhanced Email, SMS, missed call notifications, etc. on my Arc.

@Cholerabob - did you set the options correctly? On mine I do NOT have 'direct mode' enabled, the accessibility service is on, make sure 'button back light control' is set to 'control' in general settings, and 'button backlight LED' is set to 'solid' for whichever notification you are testing. If you use a task killer, try excluding Light Flow.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wirelessgirl:
I tried Light Flow and can't get the 2 LED's between the keys to work. The Arc has to be rooted. I just got the Arc and don't feel comfortable rooting it. Are there any other alternatives?

Today, I've installed the CynogenMod Rom in my lgp990.

Now I'm trying to

1) get source code of CynogetMod Rom,

2) know how to build &

3) how to install.

Because I'd like to enable bootchart of cynogetmod rom.

Please let me know where I can get this information.

Thank you in advance.

[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
It's a monitoring process collecting all the boot data, init stuff with a timecode organized in parent-children style. You can so see how to eventually optimize the boot up speed. Not very hard to install on a Linux computer.

Hi,

as I think the notification LED on the Arc is just too small and very badly placed, I thought if it would be possible to do a hardware modification and install a bigger, brighter multicolor-LED e.g. on the bottom on the phone or 4 small ones around the corners for notification.

Does anybody know if it will be possible to solder new LEDs inside that tiny thing?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Torres77an:
Yeah I guess it could be slightly bigger or something I don't mined it to much though but I hope Sony keeps this model of it's Xperia line and just keeps on making improvements on it .

hey guys i just got my htc hd2 and ive been playing with it lately but i cant seem to "crack the code" of this whole customization thing

i have been reading the guides and its been confusing and more confusing and more confusing now im completely lost cause i have no idea where the radio is coming from the custom rom or the file names that are mentioned in the guide. no doubt i feel dumb and retarded but a little help would be appreciated please and thank you.

i have htc hd2 t-mobile north america 1024 mb

i have installed hspl through the tool kit dont know if it worked or not i tried check it all looks the same to me. i dont know what to do next through the tool kit or the guides im trying to install cm7 nightly fingers crossed and still trying and phone isnt bricked. so any help would be great cause i have no understanding of what is going on at all like i am out, totally out of my mind trying to figure out the terms and procedures.

if anybody could point me to an extremely noob guide that would be great cause i read some and my brain is dead.

thanks alot appreciated to the max :)

You have to be careful when flashing the radio on a tmous model. This is where you can brick your phone. Do not use the radio that is used in the guide. I think it is not compatible Ruth the tmous hd2. Read here about it when you do not know what your doing. You should not start flashing before you understood everything what you do.

This is a step by step guide which you would have found when reading the stickies....

Sent from my HD2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SPEEDHAMMER:
alright...calm down. Before you want to embark on any customization, ensure you have the correct HSPL and a radio on your phone. First enter the bootloader. Check your current SPL version. It should read HSPL2.08 if you have flashed HSPL correctly. If its correct, download and flash Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14** (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611787). If you want to flash any another radio, ensure it is a .50 version(x.xx.

50

.xx**) After flashing the radio, enter the bootloader and check if the HSPL and radio is correct before you move on. If you want to flash a custom WM rom (http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534), please do. Ensure that the ROM is compatible with the TMOUS HD2 (compatibility will normally be stated in the first post). A complete and detailed guide on all of the above can be found here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=653614).

I understand that you want CM7 on your phone. To play safe, i recommend that you stick with windows mobile and tinker with a SD Android build before you to venture into dual booting WP7 and android.

Download an Android SD build (http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735). I am using AmeriCan Android (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957652). After extracting,copy the Android Folder into the root of your sd card. Boot into WM, navigate to the Android folder using the file explorer and tap 'clrcad' followed by 'haret'. Android will now boot(first boot will take some time).

Hope this helps and like what rauschkugl said, kindly do some research and reading first. Try the tutorials out and after you are comfortable with flashing, you can move on to WP7, NAND android and dual booting between Wp7 and SD Android: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17282874&postcount=3 (ignore step 1).

Gd luck flashing and enjoy!. Do ask if you are really unsure of something.

bro thanks alot for your help i have a few questions and conerns since i have read most of the guides and im nothing but confused cause im just looking to do a nandroid install on my htc through magldr.

i have installed hspl and the radio.

question#1) radio .50 and above that you install what differences are there and how can you tell ?

question#2 i am using hd2 android nand toolkit cause i used to have SGS vibrant and i used a similar tool kit which makes your life so so so so so easy cant thank god enough for that. so can i just use that and keep running and gunning my htc hd2 down with it.?

question #3 how do i know which rom is compatible etc etc the page of the original rom is soo detailed its like im lost to find the download file but i figured it out that i am looking to get magldr file but still the compatibility with north american htc hd2 and etc etc.

any good roms or suggestions for ones with good gps and battery life ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rauschkugl:
did you install clockworkmod. if not you should do it because all new roms need it to be installed. i'm running ndt miui right now and for the last 5 month or something like that. tried a lot of roms but battery life on miui in comparison to cm7 was a lot better for me. it also has some nice features that cm doesn't have. but you should try it on your own.

i really can recommend the ndt roms from langthan. he gives great support in his threads and the roms are fast and stable.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] naifs_br10:
my friend if i have installed a rom already do i need to repeat the procedure again to reinstall new roms or what is it only necessary that i need to do please explain to me or forward me to a sticky so i can learn and understand i would greatly appreciate it thank you very much
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mutil:
to make a clean install you can begin from start (task 29, flash radio etc.)

but to be more practical, if you flash with the same nand partition size you can wipe data factory reset from ad recovery and you can flash new rom.

if they have different nand sizes then you just wipe data factory reset from recovery then apply new cwm partition using usb flasher, then flash new rom.

but all rom cookers recommend clean installation (including reformatting and repartitioning sd):)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rauschkugl:
clockworkmod is for installing roms without the need of a pc. you can also backup your whole rom and restore it. so it is very usefull.

you would have to got to magldr to install it. then you can start cwm by selecting ad recovery in magldr. then cwm will start. if you want to install a rom now all you have to do is put the zip file of the rom to the root of your sd card and select install zip from sd in cwm menu. then chose your rom zip and your done. all new roms use cwm installable zips. so this is the only way to get able to use new roms.

I have to honestly say that I think no moderator is watching this forumpart and helping out in any way.

I've been active in a few Android Development forumpart on other phones and I have to say that owners of the O3D can't tell the difference with "Development", "General" or "Themes and Apps".

I haven't said anything until now, seriously, did it even cross your mind ONCE that this belongs in "Optimus 3D Themes and Apps" or do you think that you some how developed something by removing the system apps?

And to others, it doesn't matter HOW important and useful this was to you, this doesn't belong in Development.
[LG Optimus 3D] Demonface:
I think this is Developement because he's telling us what to remove to make the phone faster so its development. its not like he made an app to remove the things we dont need .

[LG Optimus 3D] KurdX:
Do i seriously need to quote myself?

"And to others, it doesn't matter HOW important and useful this was to you, this doesn't belong in Development."

The word Development in "Software Development";

So answering my own question, Removing system apps, is that a development? NO.

Don't bother to answer if you don't have anything useful to say.

I and many other would like to see the Development thread clean with developing threads so I don't need to open a thread which I in the first place though was development and waste my time.

Still, nothing bad to the poster, just the wrong forum.
