I'm not a developer, but I was a ShootMe user on my EVO 4G. When it received the upgrade to Gingerbread, the app stopped working. The developer never replied to my email and from reading comments on Market didn't reply to anyone.

He did finally released a new version of ShootMe, but you had to have a computer to use it. Also everytime your reboot your phone, you had to sync everytime with your computer.

Welcome to the "masses".

Want a better experience? Go smaller. Dev for Windows Phone, or Web OS, or RIM.

Once something becomes part of the main stream, you'll see the d-bags start rolling in. Even something like xda can be tarnished once it "gets too big". There is hardly a day that goes by where I don't read a thread here that doesn't make me shake my head. This used to be a highly technical forum, back when every devices was htc and running windows mobile.

The only thing that can really be done, is to work with a smaller, more appreciative community. I doubt you would get very many jerk off comments from a Windows Phone user, they are happy to get whatever they can.
[Android Apps and Games] s15274n:
All very good points. I wish I had put a little into my thoughts before typing that up - dev's need to be tougher AND respond to people.
[Android Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
As a android developer IMHO the android community is as bad as they come. Xda for example used to be a place of collaboration. Currently its a place where maybe .1% do dev, .9% appreciate the development and try to help, 99% ether complain or say nothing at all. Whether the development is for free or profite(which I won't evev get into here) how is a developer supposed to work off of that? Users would rather right a comment blasting a developer who has literally spent days of his life on some product without even attempting to resolve the issue themselves.

I'm not saying some complaints are not warranted, just saying flip the coin around and its not so hard to understand the developers standpoint.
[Android Apps and Games] Trina9:
Paul, I do agree with you to a point. But I'm not sure if I like about developers editing comments. But I do see what you mean about people leaving dumb comments for an app that does work.
[Android Apps and Games] pphillips001:
Katt,

I don't suggest developers could edit comments - that would make the process equally pointless, as devs can put all of the 'nice' things they want in the description anyway. Sorry if I implied otherwise.

Devs should be able to either remove, request for removal or even block the rogue elements. At present, we have to just live with the insults with no way to disprove their claims. Even a 'troll flag' would be an improvement - to show other users that the dev disagrees with the comment.

All accountability is on the devs whereas trolls can run freely.

Do any other devs out there agree with me on this? Others may have had a much more dealings with such than I have.

Cheers,

Paul
[Android Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
IMO if google was smart they would allow for a limited ammount(% of total) of "submissions" of there comments to a third party(google). If they are found outlandish they can be removed.

My 2 cents lol. I can say as a dev of a few apps on the market I have gotten rediculous comments n 1 stars b4. I mean if they are justified that's a different thing entirely. But my 1 stars are disproportionally higher then the trend of the others. Which proves one thing...
[Android Apps and Games] consegregate:
This is an honestly great thread. Good initiative to |OP|
[Android Apps and Games] snakeeyes21:
Taking down an app just because of a few nasty comments is just

childish and quite frankly pathetic.

Seems that developer has chucked his toys out the pram, if he does

decide to release it again who is going to trust such a developer?

I know I wouldn't use the app again, seeing as he's stuck 2 fingers up

to loyal users and the whole android community all because of a small

minority of people.

The whole thing stinks of the guy thinking he is above any kind of bad

feedback, obviously a developer that doesn't listen to the users of his

app and a developer that turns his back at the drop of a hat.

I'm sure he will be missed... Not

Ps. there are better screenshot apps out there
[Android Apps and Games] KB0SDQ:
I agree with your comment. Though I am not a dev. I have experience working in the retail end of software. This is a I want it now society, folks forget that they got this software/app for free and as soon as they have a little issue they fly off the deep end cussing out the maker/distribitor of the product. Anyhow like you said you get what you pay for.LIke in my IT course in school my book said "check the dummy behind the keyboard" anyhow thanks for the great apps i use the time flies app.
[Android Apps and Games] pphillips001:
If a dev dropped his customers because of a couple of snide comments then, yeah, I'd agree with you.

But was that the case for ShootMe?

Before we start flinging hooks around here, wouldn't it be more productive to actually find out what happened first.

I may be proven wrong here, but the guy must've been given some serious grief to take such a newsworthy action.

In fact, that's not been mentioned - it could be media storming. Drum up enough publicity and come back blazing. Only time will tell on that one.

At the end of the day, it's his property. And if he makes a lot of people unhappy that's his prerogative. The reason he's giving though are indeed a real issue the community needs to address.

The plot thickens.

(Glad you like Times Flies! :D You're most welcome)

[Android Apps and Games] Dungeon47:
I've noticed that the flavor of a community will vary a lot by device. The Captivate community seems to be generally good and helpful for the most part, but I've heard horror stories of ungratefulness and rudeness about communities around other devices. It may be the same sort of thing with different varieties of apps. If people feel like an app performs a function they deserve outright, they may be less inclined to courtesy and more inclined to selfish expectation.
[Android Apps and Games] blestsol:
Taking down your app is being a big kid. Simple.
[Android Apps and Games] wondercoolguy:
We've been in the age of keyboard warriors how long now? This forum is filled with them ppl that voice stupid crap because they know that a fist to the face will never come. With that said (LOL) this Dev is a huge baby I understand his points but if you go to angry birds, twitter, or facebook all of them have ppl with negative comments. Go to the apple store major apps have bad comments on them its a apart of life on the internet and being a Dev. Get over yourself pull your app there is a Dev with thicker skin ready to take your place. Until I see an apology blog by this Dev I will never use his apps again.
[Android Apps and Games] Trina9:
I don't know if still agree with that, but I know something needs to be done. My when you are bringing this up, there's bad developers out there. I'm surprised that crappie apps like The Coupons App, which I had to cancel my credit card after ignoring emails to stop the charges, stays on the Market. And good apps like Droid TV, which works brilliantly for me, looks gone from the Market again.
[Android Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
This is actually one of the biggest problems imo. Google has an incredible LACK of standards when it comes to applications on its market. First there is ZERO upfront filtering, no one inspects them at all. Its all reactive not proactive. What this leads is first thousands of what i like to call "crap apps" and second it allows for such situations like you described. Its bad for everyone....having alot of options is not good if 99% of the options suck. Google boating about 100k apps is advertising bs, bc majority of them are horrible...arg....(i hate ranting i really do xD).

I am using fbReader and Stock Library App. For some Epub fbReader is better and others stock app is better.

I want to divid the whole book lib into 2 parts for 2 apps.

Question is how to tell stock library app only display books in one folder or bypass other folder? How to force library app refresh the books list - I have to reboot the device to do it now.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PariahLantern:
Gentlemen,

It was announced that CM7 was going to be officially supported for the XPERIA Play and that Team FreeXperia was going to join the CM7 development team officially.

What does this mean for us users with VZW? Our phones aren't unlockable by normal means and I believe that someone has the unlock codes but is asking for donations.

Are VZW people going to be SOL when CM7 drops? Or are we going to be getting an official word from XPERIA?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
I think you may have misread where you read that. CM7 is officially supporting the Play, not the other way around. Sony does not support a modded OS on their device.

Once CM7 drops you will need to still unlock it as is, then you can load up CM7 instead of one of the other system images.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimthev:
Here is the situation as I know it (which might be horribly wrong).

It was announced that the VZW unlock codes had been cracked. What had actually happened was that they found a security hole in a SE website that was handing out valid codes but wasn't actually supposed to be working for VZW phones. They said they'd have a permanent solution later and would individually give people their codes if asked. Unfortunately they really never could have had a permanent solution other then make the SE website hand out every single possible code and they would capture it. They had started work on this exact thing but....

Another dev stumbled across the same security hole but wasn't as circumspect in his pounding of the website. SE noticed they had the hole and then closed it. So nobody could use this method ever again.

Now, there is still the officially supported way to unlock the phones but this requires hardware and token purchases directly from SE. There is a thread where Alejandrissimo will do this for you remotely. Since it costs money and time to do this he charges for the service. I have never seen a single complaint about his service and hope that he continues to do so until I ever get off my lazy butt and decide I *need* my phone unlocked.

VZW seems like they will never ever directly support rooting the phone so your current choices are to use the pay method (either yourself by buying software/hardware or via Alejandrissimo), wait and hope that a real crack appears or wait and hope that another hole is found somewhere else.

Personally, I'm waiting until I find a real need for it. At that point I hope that there is still some way to unlock the phone. Right now the only thing I'd do is remove bloatware, but it doesn't really bother me that much right now and my memory is tight but isn't completely used up yet either.

So, if you want to install CM7 right now or in the immediate future, your only choice that I know of is Alejandrissimo or somebody else using SETool. As for doing it yourself or with support from VZW ... you're SOL.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ripley6:
jim that is how I understand it also, as I mainly lurk around here to see the latest developments. Your post is exactly how I feel.

Coming from a rooted Eris to a non rooted phone has been different. So far the phone is great but not sure I will be able to stay with it until 4/2013 when my upgrade is due.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PariahLantern:
Wow totally meant that to be team freexperia on the end of the first post.

I didn't realize that that was the case with the VZW unlock codes, which makes sense. I'll have to do some digging then and get in touch with alejandrissimo

Now that I'm less retarded, I can go on with my life.

[HTC EVO 3D] 1up1up:
This is for those of you who are thinking of purchasing a new Evo 3D. Be careful and inspect the phone for dust beneath the screen before purchasing. I've purchased a total of 8 phones and have found 3 to be defective. Luckily, the particular store that I purchased from gladly replaced the phones immediately without any questions.

It may be difficult to notice at first but if you look closely and it's defective, you'll notice dust specs or fibers underneath the glass screen which would be very difficult to remove (if even possible). When inspecting the phone for this, make sure the screen's background is bright (preferably white). I've been able to notice the defective units right away during the initial boot-up (the white screen with green "HTC" logo).

Also, this isn't the first time I've purchased HTC cell phones which have this dust problem. I've noticed it with both HTC Hero and Evo 4G phones as well.

Not an entirely huge problem to most people (including myself) but should be noted.

[HTC Sensation] gtcalder:
Hi,

Being fairly new to the sensation and with the wide choice of ROMs that have been developed, I am keen to try a few of them out.

However after installing Titanium Backup it says unable to acquire root privileges (this is after flashing ARHD), I was under the impression that ROMs came rooted? This also happened after i had rooted following the guide in the development section. Anyway im back to stock ROM for the moment but i am just wondering how i can back everything up on the stock ROM for when i next decide to flash say InsertCoin or any other ROM?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] DaClowns:
Titanium backup is the way to go. It saves all your data so its like nothing is missing. Try reinstalling it, and make sure you have superuser in your app bin.
[HTC Sensation] Mr_Boob_Burglar:
Titanium back up keeps your apps and info in the apps... You could also do a Nandroid back up done from the boot menu but i will go back to whatever rom you had at the time of back up and put all the info back where it belongs
[HTC Sensation] gtcalder:
Ok thanks, do i need to be rooted or just S-Off to use Titanium Backup? Does it not get removed when you do a super wipe?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Mr_Boob_Burglar:
I thought it was going to be a dumb question if I asked if you had S-off but yes you need S-off cause that I believe is the security to let titanuim back up super user permissions so get the s-off and you should be fine
[HTC Sensation] gtcalder:
ok thanks a lot for the help, i shall give it a try!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspuser007:
Hello,

I have stock rooted rom 2.29.405.5 (with Apps2SD).

Recently superuser app has been updated to the newest version.

After that I am getting a notification about "su binary not updated".

Clicked on it and got the "Updating Binary" which informs me about an update of the su binary.

The problem is that when I click "update" the whole procedure fails when it tries this "Remounting /system as rw".

What is wrong?

Thank you!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Are you s-off? If so not sure what the problem is. If you're not s-off, that's your problem
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
the problem is that without s-off, an app cant write on /system while the phone is booted

u have 2 options:

-uninstall the super user update, and continue to use the old one

-install the super user update (apk + su binary) flashing from the recovery this zip
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspuser007:
Thank you both for your replies.

I am still s-on but planning to change that.

But for now, I copy the zip to the sd card. Reboot into recovery and use flash zip from sd? Are there any other things I have to do before flashing the zip?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
If u updated super user through the market, uninstall the update..after that flash the zip in recovery
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspuser007:
I haven't done any actions to update it, more likely, it was automatically updated via market.

Unistall the update? How? If I unistall something, this would be the application itself (I mean I only know unistalling applications - is there any way to unistall updates?)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
u never looked in settings/applications?

super user i guess is a system app (like gmails, gmaps, gtalk, etc)..so u can't uninstall those applications..but u can uninstall updates for those applications..mean for system apps u can only uninstall updates

so go in settings/applications, select super user app and u should see uninstall updates, if yes do uninstall updates, if not then its ok and flash the zip

do a nandroid backup in recovery before touch something, just to be sure
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspuser007:
I hadn't checked system applications so far.

Unistalled the update, did a nandroid backup and flashed the zip!

Everything OK now!

Hello!

I am interested in improving the stock T9 dialer to support Arabic search.

I have done this fully with Hebrew and the only thing I am missing are .png dialer buttons with Arabic letters beneath the English ones.

If anyone can come up with such files I'm sure it would help me and a whole community of Arabic language users.

The reason I'm looking for assistance and not making those .png myself is because my knowledge of Arabic is pretty basic.

Thank you!

Hi firefds, I'm trying to modify AxT9IME.apk (I guess this is the file) to add Hebrew to my SGSII dialer for T9 search in heb, I'm using LR6.1 so I can't use MIUI fix or any other rom's fix..

I was able to change the Contacts.apk letters bar to hebrew using APK manager and now i want to do the same for the Dialer

I would highly appreciate your help :)

Thanks,

Rotem
[Galaxy S II General] firefds:
thats not the dialer, that is the keyboard :)

the dialer is in contacts.apk in a directory called dialertab
[Galaxy S II General] rotemakerman:
Thanks mate! I've changed the dialer and it's in heb now.. T9 is working as well :)

Have you encountered the issue when navigating through letters bar in contacts, moving on to the next letter shows the 2 letters together by LTR?

If you go through א. And then ב it will be displayed as בא but tje search query will get you the right results of אב

Any idea how to fix the display?
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
So all you need is the button pngs modified.

I am ready to help, I know photoshop and have arabic on my pc installed the only thing is i am not so good with android development.

If you could provide me the png files i would accordingly modify it and send it to you.
