[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
The only reason to really root this phone at this point is if you want custom themes and things like. The stock Rom really doesn't need any help in making it run better. What else can you really improve with it? And the screen just makes everything look so good I don't even need the theme's to help in that area.

I returned my 1st phone after rooting gave me issues but my replacement is staying stock until root is 100% stable and I have no problem with that.

Now, when I got my EVO 3D or any HTC device for that matter, the only thing I looked forward to was the day I could root it so the developers could actually make those phones run they way they should from HTC.

I know a lot of people have bad things to say about Samsung phones but based on the Galaxy S2 I might just stick with them going forward as long as they keep this up......And by the sound of the Prime, I think Samsung will be the ones to beat going forward.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I've seen some quad scores of 4600 after rooting and oc'ing the kernel, so that would be kinda cool to see; but, even with stock, I get quadrants of 3600 or so, plus, as you said, with an HTC phone, I couldn't wait to root them either, just so you could flash a custom kernel/rom to make it run smooth and fast, and this phone just does that being stock!

I miss me some custom themes though...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Black dust theme from venum has reallly nice icons you should check it out in the theme section and ObsidianRed theme should be out soon which is open to preview in the theme section as well that looks to truely be epic

I used this method and have great battery life, no LOS or bugs/hickups. Took me no time at all and was so easy compared to other root methods it scared me a little hahaha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JBNAquatics:
Nope. Awesome battery life, quadrant 4836 on stock kernel, no LOS yet (been testing this method on three ET that were plagued with LOS), what more can I ask at the moment? There will always be a better device just like in the PC building world where your top of the line GPU becomes obsolete in a month. By the time my contract ends LTE will be in full force for Sprint.

I don't think you can use ODIN on a mac; I know there is a different method posted here somewhere for rooting on a mac..

thanks for the link though!
[Kindle Fire General] theomni:
Hi guys. I am a graduate student and I've been wanting to buy a tablet. Most out there are expensive and in terms of battery life, my 14" laptop with an SSD beats them all. Only problem is, of course, the size of the laptop.

So I have some questions regarding this kinde fire. Looking at the interface, it looks like a constricted version of android and as Besos said, its more of a multimedia device.

The main functions I'm looking for my tablet are: email, reading, viewing videos of PPT lectures, web browsing, watching movies occasionally. Without the tablet being rooted, would all this be possible or is it just for games, web surfing, and videos/music? I would like to leave my device unrooted for as long as possible.

Plus, looking at the specs, this thing would make an excellent android tablet.

Also, how does this GPU compare to the nVidia Tegra?

Thanks!

Get a reading device. A kindle (not Fire) offers quite a lot for a low price.

That's for the reading. For the other stuff, I would not know what to reccomend.
[Kindle Fire General] skeeterpro:
From what I have read the AF is built to be first and foremost an ereader. Games probably secondary especially with only 512MB of RAM (unless they are from Amazon App Store.) I could be wrong though.

If I were you, I would look harder at other REAL tablets and not closed garden ereaders like the AF appears to be. The dual core CPU would be great on an android tablet. It already is on many. And, by many accounts, quad cores are not too far away. Tabs that are tablets first though.

Price is important. Desired functions are more so. IMO.

Would I recommend? No.
[Kindle Fire General] theomni:
I've been hearing that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus might be coming out with a price near $250. If that is the case, I'll get that instead. Luckily, I will have until the end of October to decide, since that's when the Samsung Tab will be releasing. However, I'm assuming/hoping that we will know its price by next week or so.

Hell, I'll be willing to pay upto $300 for it. I preordered the Kindle Fire with a leather cover for a total of $250.
[Kindle Fire General] skeeterpro:
Wise move. A lot of new items will be released and I suspect many (if not most) in your price/needed specs range will far exceed the AF.

Wish I had these options in grad school! :)
[Kindle Fire General] jerrykur:
You cold do this all on the NC for $150 or less, unrooted. Also, the NC can be rooted and custom ROMs are available.
[Kindle Fire General] life2monkeys:
I would say yes. Both quick office and documents to go are available in the amazon app store
[Kindle Fire General] madkat:
A couple of people at work have mentioned the Amazon Kindle Fire in passing. I've looked at the specs, it looks pretty poor.

Several people have shown me their iPad 2 or HP tablet - huge 10.1" things.

One person has compared his iPad camera with my Galaxy Tab 7's camera and said the Galaxy Tab comes out better.

I can fit my Galaxy Tab in my pocket. It has Kindle for Android on it.

I chose my device carefully out of some really budget budget devices, and larger & more expensive devices.

Here you can now pick up a Galaxy Tab 7" 3G (GPS, Wifi) 16Gb for £399 from Tesco's Electronics dept, £349 from BestBuy, £299.99 from Tesco Direct (24hr wait, but the desk is in the store!) or £299.98 from PCWorld. I got mine from Tesco Direct, because it was a weekend and the nearest PCWorld that stocks them is over the road from work.

If you don't need 3G (I understand the Fire doesn't have 3G) I believe you can now pick up a 32Gb Wifi-only model from Asda (Walmart) for £249 ($387) and it will be an order of magnitude better than the Fire. There's also a heap of cheap things on eBay from China (that Maplin (Radio Shack) buy & resell with enormous margins)
[Kindle Fire General] Cobey_S:
When people ask me about it, I reply with:

Do you want a next gen Kindle, or do you want a tablet?

That seems to get them into the right frame of mind. The Fire is no more or less a next gen Kindle. It's aimed to compete against the Nook Color and the iPod Touch, being a portable media device.
[Kindle Fire General] theomni:
thanks a lot guys! I actually just cancelled my preorder for the KF and bought the HTC Flyer.
[Kindle Fire General] skeeterpro:
FWIW smart move!

Now take a look at the adonit jot stylus. Amazing.
[Kindle Fire General] theomni:
I've been looking for a pen/stylus to buy.

Would that work with the HTC flyer or am I better of buying the HTC scribe pen for it?
[Kindle Fire General] skeeterpro:
Gotta say I am not familiar with the stylus scribe for the HTC. One would presume an item custom made for a dedicated device would be preferable. I can say the adonit jot performs amazingly on the Transformer on SuperNotes!

You might try it out. If it doesn't work for you, return it. It would appear their Return Policy is liberal enough here.

I think my question can be misunderstood:

I don't want to cook another ROM but i want to know whats the "secret" behind the CustomRUU tool.

How is the flashing done by the tool. What commands are send to the bootloader. Are these commands are very different from one phone generation to another or are they similar?

How is every CustomRUU tool build?

That's what i want to know. How a ROM is build is not of my interest.

[HTC EVO 3D] j4n87:
Rogers are gsm based phones, right? - have to be, cause I'm also running Leedroid which is only available for the gsm version!

..so there isn't any gsm custom kernel out yet and it seems your trying to flash a CDMA Kernel to a GSM Phone - isn't very healthy for your phone (-;

The reason why we still don't have any custom kernel is, because HTC didn't released the gsm board files with the 2.3.4 kernel sources yet.

Just have a look at the Leedroid thread to stay up2date - there are a lot of post were people spamming htcs fanbook page etc. to get htcs attention.
[HTC EVO 3D] bitterevp:
Butt its Sprint. I thought Sprint was cdma? Are there longterm consequences to flashing the wrong kind? Everything seems to work fine after nand restore after each kernel attempt. So if there aren't any kernels, how is everyone else oc ing to 1.8?

yeah, sprint is cdma, but the OP is talking about Rogers, which is GSM.

Do i need to do a battery calibration when switching between the extended battery and the regular? Depending on my work day i take a different batter with me but the extended seems to be dropping as fast at the standard one. I am running Blurry 1.3 ROM.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] magneticzero:
IMO its just a placebo effect
[Motorola Droid Bionic] necroscopev:
I had never run one before but when I stitched to blurry 1.3 I was losing 10% battery life every thirty minutes while not in use!! I was told to run the calibration on it and boy did it help, now I drop ten or so every hour/hour and a half with heavy usage, and only a percent or two when not in use.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Absolutely. Placebo? The battery stats are for the stock battery. You put a bigger battery in, and you don't think you need to tell your system?

Don't calibrate and enjoy the same battery life you got on the regular battery.

Hi.

I have seen these apps from Björk but they don't seem to be for android. They are only for iPhone. :(

BUT I've read that the app could be ported from iOS to another operating systems because it was made to allow this. And Björk encouraged hackers to do that! That was said from Björk herself in an interview!

I personally think that the art, sounds, videos, etc, could be extracted, but what ist with the software itself? How could it be ported if the source code is not available....

What do you think?

Can someone clarify if it would be possible?

Thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synesthete:
I dug around in the .ipa and it looks like they used some Flex. I don't know much about Flex/Air, but that might make it easier. Adobe has tools to easily build iOS/Android/Blackberry form one Flex project.

edit: I am not sure if that really helps, since the .ipa doesn't actually have any of the original flex source.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humano:
Thanks for the information.

I would try it, but I don't have a iphone to take the files...

How could I get the .ipa and other files? Could I get the necessary files only with itunes?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18066582

Another question. What do you mean with FLEX? The software from adobe? I never used it. Is it based on flash or something like that??? I don't think so, because it would be much slower....

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humano:
:eek::mad:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synesthete:
If you go into the "apps" section in the itunes sidebar on your computer. you can just drag the app out of the program and onto you desktop. Open it in a zip program like you would with an apk file. Inside the ipa file there should be an app file. On a mac, you can ctrl+click that and go to "Show package contents".

Flex lets you build flash and air applications without the Flash IDE. The new Adobe tools compile the flex/air app to native iOS code, so that it doesn't need the air runtime.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humano:
Thank you very much! :-)

I will try it!!! It is a good start.:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humano:
I did what you explained and I have the whole files!!!

I still don't have Flex, but I will install it to see how it goes...

Do you know what are the .plist files?

I couldn't open them with quicktime or another players.

Where is exactly the code? .nib files?

What files do I have to open with flex?

Thanks again
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synesthete:
Well, as I said before, Flex may not really help actually, since the flex has been converted to normal iOS code. I don't know enough about it to say one way or the other. The files that seemed to have flex names were in the .bundle files. I think that most .nib files are GUI/framework related. You can generally open them with the Xcode tools (right click>open with>developer tools or whatever). Plist files should open in a text editor.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Dagan_:
Ello HTC folks,

I am coming in my sisters behalf because she is having some probs with her Inspire.

For some reason whenever she sends or receives a pic it delivers as a teenie weenie thumbnail view. She has skimmed over several posts on various programs that I believe are market based but has had no results for the fix.

I myself am part of the Samsung Vibrant community and am rooted and running a custom rom (will never run stock again) :)

My ultimate question is this...

Would it just be a whole lot simpler to root and flash a custom rom for her? will that cure her problem? or is the mms issue more complex than that?

My initial advice was for her to just take the phone back for a warranty exchange but unfortunately that is not an option.

She is using a prepaid plan through T mobile and got the Inspire at one of those "we sell all phones" places.

Whenever she calls T mobile they say "the Inspire is an ATT phone....call them"

Whenever she calls ATT they say "your using T mobile...call them"

Now being as though she isn't very tecnical savvy when it comes to this sort of thing I will be the one that undergo's the whole rooting process for her, I have already skimmed over several processes for the rooting/flashing and it looks simple enough, but i'm still left to question if it will cure the problem or not.

Thanx in advance for all of your input and advice :o
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Most likely this thread will be closed soon as others on the same topic were. But I will answer your question and you should search for the topics next time.

The phone is an ATT phone. T-mobile's network is the issue. If the phone is non T-mobile, the network will only send small pics. Yes you will need to root it and make the phone appear to the T-mobile network as a T-mobile branded phone.
