So I should call? What should I say? I had to pay the Restocking fee :/
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanko82:
I have T Mobile USA HD7 and still no update. I did force update to 7239, but it does not work for 7720, I have tried a lot. Zune says it is up to date. I wonder if there are still any devices without update?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manhal70:
hi

same here

mine is t mobile hd7 and still no update

zune says its up to date
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
How exactly did you "force" the update to NoDo? If you used the Chevron Updater from Chris Walsh, you "Walshed" your phone and made it incompatible with future updates. There's a tool out there to fix that, though. Similarly, de-branding your phone to get NoDo means your phone is now a hybrid of T-Mobile branded and non-TMO branded bits, and that may be enough to prevent you from getting the update.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanko82:
I have forced NoDo with the Zune trick, disconneting my internet connection.

Phone is Chevron unlocked only, nothing else.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
That's pretty weird, not going to lie. You can try the U2M7720 app (see the development & hacking sub-forum) and it might work for you. It provisions the phone to use the beta upgrade path, including the beta-to-retail final patch. As a bonus, you have a pretty good chance of being able to interop-unlock your phone, something which is otherwise tricky to do on HTC.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanko82:
That might work. I think I will try to hard reset first, if that does not help I ll install one of the free roms, like dft. Thank you.
[EVO 4G General] Holyrolla:
Welp...I know this is a pretty insignificant thread to start, but I wanted to show my appreciation to this group and the devs that helped make the Evo 4G great. Thanks to all of the devs of the ROMS that had a chance to grace my phone, from the stock derivatives, to CM6 and 7, and especially MIUI. I'll still be using those ROMS by the way, but on my new EVO 3D that I received on today.

And so onto new adventures, rooting, ROM tests and ROM dailys, and such like.

Thanks all...see you in the EVO 3D section.

[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Sorry bout your luck sad to see u move from a great phone to a waste of HTCs talent, I ditched my 3d after 3 days for a photon, got stuck with the photon and ended up adding a 5th line to get the SGS2. The SGS2 is a wonderful device but I wasn't a fan so I gave it to my dad and stuck with my OG til something better comes out. Personally id like a device same size as my evo with the exynos 1.5 ghz dual core and 2 - 4 gig of ram preferably 4, as the RAM is what really powers performance and not so much the processor in a phone. Screenwise is like 4.3 - 4.5" in samoled as the amoleds save a lot of power and look really nice color wise. Id also love a aluminum housing like ob the tbolt as the housing alone helps with heat distribution/dissipation.
[EVO 4G General] monkeychef:
The ram doesn't power it you silly. The ram allows you to run the os and the application on the foreground and background.

As for the other specs: yes please.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 5pace:
Hello guys, after much of my research on getting old market back on ICSunday ROM by jusada, I finally figured out how to do so.

So let's start.

1. Download Vending.apk (Attached) onto your phone and save it to your SDCard.

2. Get/Open Root Explorer and navigate to "/sdcard" copy "Vending.apk" from there.

3. Mount R/W in "/system/app/" and paste "Vending.apk" in there.

4. In "/system/app/" folder there would be a file called "8007005.apk" rename it to "8007005.apk.abc" (I don't prefer deleting system files, so I just rename them so as to get a backup in case anything goes wrong).

5. Rename your "Vending.apk" (the one you just copied) to "8007005.apk".

6. Change permissions of your "8007005.apk" to "rw-r--r--" and Change owner to Owner: 0-root and Group: 0-root.

7. Rename "MarketUpdater.apk" in "/system/app" to "MarketUpdater.apk.abc".

8. Navigate to "/data/data/" and delete folders called "com.android.vending" and "com.android.vending.update".

9. Reboot your mobile.

10. Finally if you don't see your market downgraded just head over to Root Explorer and navigate to "/system/app/", tap "8007005.apk", when the popup shows up tap "Install" and let it install like a normal apk file.

Voila you have successfully downgraded your market!

Post your queries here if you are facing any problems or need help with something. ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] downloadonlyaccount:
On Cyanogenmod, i uninstalled the Updates from Market under Settings/Apps and deleted MarketUpdater.apk.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
There is a better way for those roms fixed on the new market. It's automated: search oldmarket on xda it's a free root app.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ketah23:
how to stop market updating itself? i revert to the old one then it update it self once again.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Use titanium backup or any other app that can freeze apps, to freeze market-updater.apk
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 5pace:
ICS ROM already comes with updated 3.3.1, so if I uninstalled updates, the market still remained the same.

Used that, gave me FC's when I opened market.

Grab yourself a copy of Root Explorer (Root needed), head over to "/system/app/", mount R/W and rename file called "MarketUpdater.apk" to "MarketUpdater.apk.abc", finally uninstall updates of market and it would stop upgrading itself.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] madman:
if you have root explorer [or any other] then you just can remove all read write permission of marketupdater.apk and uninstall current updates :D
[Galaxy S II General] seghier:
hello

i see galaxy s2 and the price 420 euro ?

is this good price or i wait
[Galaxy S II General] NobbyLK:
Price

Hi,

here in germany you can get the S2 for 407 € + delivery.

But i think your price is not too bad.

[Galaxy S II General] DSA:
You could find this out by looking on mobile phone sites & ebay etc, and comparing prices yourself...
[Galaxy S II General] seghier:
thank you

i will buy it :-)
[Galaxy S II General] samH4Sung:
Make sure check because that could be the price if you get a contract on the phone. I got mine without a contract in greece during my vacation for €550= about $750
[Galaxy S II General] mircea_novac:
In Romania with no contract is about 500 EUR. I am going to buy mine with prolongation of my existing contract of 20 EUR at 350 EUR.
[Galaxy S II General] ccrows:

I've seen some decent deals on eBay. Just buy from a seller with a strong positive rep... :)
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
I bought mine on eBay UK for £410 4/5 months ago, ive noticed it has stayed true enough to it's value it hasn't dropped by that much given the quality your getting im not surprised.

I was contemplating getting it for free or cheap on another long contract but im glad i didn't, never again...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shranav:
I m on cognition s2 1.08. The vibrstion intesity of my phone during calls nd smses is very high. Is there any way to decrease this intesity. M very much irritated with the way my phone vibrates. Any software which can decrease phone intesity?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almorsol:
You can try Contact Vibrate.

It is free on the Market. And it lets you select the way you want the vibration by taping the screen.

Hope that helps!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shranav:
Thanks for trying to help. i tried that app but it didnot help much. than i tried smart vibrator. it solved my problem. i recommend it to u too. the only drawback z that ur phn even vibrates wen there z a call waiting on ur phone.

is there any app or mod to decrease vibration intensity during sms or call like we can inc/dec in case of heptic feedback?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
I'd really like to get HDMI out on CM7.1 running on my GalaxyS2 I777. I have absolutely zero programming chops. But what I do have, is the willingness to drop some cash on a couple MHL HDMI cables. Obviously, I'd only purchase this for kernel/Cyanogenmod developers. Unless they want me to simply make a donation, but I'd really like to get this working on this phone. I know it's not a simple process, but I'd like to get the tools in the hands of the devs. So is this a bad idea or a good idea?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] poofyhairguy:
I love the idea of HDMI out in CM7, but it seems we are beholden to what the Int. does. If the CM7 developers who were given an Int. version by Samsung can't figure it out....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jconfus:
I would love to have it on my GS II.

But remember it will need to be charged at the same time otherwise the battery will drain soon.

So Microusb HDMI out and charging at the same time? Sound a bit hard to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
The MHL adapters have a micro SD port on them so you can connect your charger (I think you HAVE TO have the charger.connected for it to work anyways).

I too would love to see this work and am surprised the international SGS2 would have it already also.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
I forgot that Samsung gave them an I-9100 to play with. Well, I guess if they already have that, I guess they have the MHL-HDMI adapters. I tried to help :-( I guess it's time to donate...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
I don't think tv out works yet in either though (i9100 or for sure not the i777). I would love for them to get it working, about the only thing missing IMHO.

Nope. Kind of a bummer, and I'm not in any way complaining. I love my CM7'd I777 (lot's of 7's). I'm just trying to make to device even better. But I guess the only thing we can do is donate. Come Thursday (my actual payday) I'll be throwing some money their way. They do a damned fine job.

As long as this works with the International Version, I'll donate. Put me down for 10

[Optimus One, P500, V General] dnle71:
you have to install rom manager and download the recovery..it's risky though..

or you can use rom manager also

If u do that on stock firmware it will wipe ur phone.

Recovery installing is easy

I HOPE your phone is rooted :-)

Install ROM manager

Install the latest CWM from there

Then u has a recovery

Interesting it did not work, moved the files into system/app with root explorer and setup permissions. Would not install or open, I guess I shall try to download that entire package and try that one?
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Try rebooting after you get the missing apps back where you need them and hopefully you will get it squared away. Done the same thing on my OG ATRIX and learned really quick that blur ties into a lot of the operating system. Made me a quick believer n Bloat Freezer ;) Funny what one missing app will do.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cheetablaze:
Restart did not do it either. I just want to make sure all my apps are when an update rolls around
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
i think it has something to do with an odex. you may have to factory reset.

Got pissed off at the device, Did the factory reset, and then the screen wouldn't come back on after turning off. Showed it to best buy and they gave me another. If it happens again I'm gonna keep returning it until.....?

But Apple behaves as if they invented everything, and throw a hissy fit when someone copies them, hypocritically ignoring that they're just like the rest of them.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
Quit censoring the forums. You are a "moderator" not a "censor".

Closing the thread when it was a discussion about developers and moderators on XDA in the "General" section is not right. Just because you as a moderator are tired of reading all the good points about you and your heavy-handed tactics doesn't give you the right to "censor" the forums. You are a "moderator", not a "censor".

When you start censoring posts/threads that you don't agree with, you have gone way beyond your "moderator" duties and are now infringing on any user's rights to speak freely.

-Daryel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Agree, i was just thinking that. Who is the forum experience mod?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] distantneighbor:
wow and I was about to write up a thread calling Jerdog out for exactly as you said, he gives his excuse then closes the thread while it is clearly open and still booming. like "haha I get the last word..."

I agree with you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgregg504:
IB4L.

Always wanted to do that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] distantneighbor:
anyways, so StrongSteve puts something together from many parts, but that is not allowed. We must do it ourselves. Should of just put a guide out there steve :confused:

Jerdog, you can call the work StrongSteve whatever you want but when it involves work that most of us could not do ourselves no matter what section he puts it in, I call that development.

If rules that are set up does not call that or allow it as development in the development section, then it is the rules that need changed. As much as the work is appreciated, not many people will go through a 20 page guideline on how to do what he did in the theme section.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
ok guys.. I really have to call Jerdog out on this..

He keeps referring to dexopt-wrapper as a "script"

It is a binary or a "tool"

How does such bonified ignorance become a "recognized developer"

??

Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtuansdiamm:
Im on jerdogs side on this one
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
I'm on Strongsteve's side. We've heard both stories in the previous thread as it wasn't censored, but locked. This thread was made for the sole purpose of flaming Jerdog. It's just not right.

Hopefully, as Jerdog stated, this gets worked out through private discussion between them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KUHawk:
I posted the original Open Letter. This is first chance I have had to look things over since this morning. Not surprised the thread was moved. I'm appalled it was closed. I just sent jerdog a PM asking for an explanation. We'll see what happens.

I cannot for the life of me understand the logic (or lack thereof) behind killing off this ROM, theme, project, discussion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] distantneighbor:
strongsteve, are you going to put your work up anywhere else. if so, can you let us know.

I am using your ROM and it is best one out there . Much appreciated no matter what the mods say. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] distantneighbor:
maybe, but I think trying to keep the previous thread going was more the reason. If the other thread was not locked, discussion would continue there. And IMO writing a book sized defense reply (as Jerdog did) then immediately locking it so details of what he said could not be discussed is censorship. I mean look, someone opens a new thread and you claim it something other than genuine continuation of the first thread, so in effect Jerdog altered the degree of trust and dialogue hence censorship.

Nothing against you as I do understand what you said, just making a point
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
i would suggest PM'ing the forum admin or the forum experience mod to communicate any issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
I think locking a thread to prevent further discussion is what peeves people off.

The discussion was a fairly civil discussion of what constitutes a "Themed ROM" and a "Developer ROM". By the definition put forth ALL roms that are in the Development section are "Themed ROMs". Even ptfdmedic pointed out that his ROM by the definition is a "Themed ROM".

This thread is probably going to be locked/closed/moved anyways. If anyone wants to complain to XDA about jerdog, they're welcome to PM the "User Experience Admin" svetius. His profile is here: http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=2235607

Sprint just offered me today (after 100's of phone calls) to replace my Epic Touch with a different phone because of LOS issues, hopefully whichever phone I decide on will have a healthy dev environment like the Epic Touch has been.

-Daryel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
agreed, it appears that any discussion regardless of temperament is not permitted. I would also submit that if I were Strongsteve, i wouldn't exactly be in a PM/discussion/compromise type of mindset either. It appears that there is a total lack of comprehension from the MOD
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Rootzwiki is where it is..... They appreciate the devs that its why they give devs phones....xda used to be like that they are all about the money .... Sad that its come to this ....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Precisely :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spencer88:
I would think that we would be encouraging development for this phone and not splitting hairs on it, no matter who is right and who is wrong. I mean he (jerdog) just couldn't just leave it alone? Really? Come on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
i don't fault XDA making money and trying to keep the lights on. Especially when XDA the business is not always aligned with XDA the forums, however clearly this instance clearly is not a conflict of the two. What i don't really agree with is the decision of ONE mod in this forum.

with that said, if i have to go to Rootzwiki to get Steve's ROM's then thats what i will do
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gorguts:
The only way!!!

Either stop coming to this site...aka boycott; Or get other devs to stop supporting this site. Either will result in revenue loss for XDA and make them think about what they are doing.

That's all you can do, once the advertisers pull out, they lose money that I am sure they don't share with developers who are the sole reason we com here in the first place.

Start hitting up all the devs and see if they will move thier work elsewhere, then we go there and XDA will have to acknowledge or fail.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] distantneighbor:
I wrote the experience mod and said the exact same thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
many forums

I have seen it in many forums here .... evo , epic4g , evo3d and now here ..... Some mod gets power hungry and he is always right .... that is why myn , and others in cyanogen have went to rootzwiki .... Many devs on twitter have said xda is not run the way it was in the past .... There is too much us vs them attitude .... we all want the best for our phones , but you have to be somewhat respectful to everybody ....Its sad a mod would come to this level
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
I have no clue what's up, but I visit XDA because of developers and their efforts.

If I had a forum community and "employees aka developers" working for free, I personally would entice them with rewards not a shovel. As a matter in fact, I would take atleast 50% of forum ad revenue and split them accordingly between developers (pay employees aka developers).

In the end creating an umbrella of developers gathered under a shell with benefits.

Off topic (been on my mind), I download from trusted sites, if a rogue developer promotes malicious ROM etc... How can 1 know? Any monitoring/check system?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
So from the time I woke up read the original thread that was created to now (when I get back from school) the thread was closed with the mod trying for the last word and him still defending what he did to strongsteve? I honestly see a problem with this.

Steve while I don't use your rom (only cause I'm not rooting yet) Thank you for the work you have done man.

I believe the mod needs to remove head from arse in this case and make a public apology but even then the damage was/is already done and it never should of happened to begin with.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
Ok guys - a number of you have asked why I haven't been constantly in defending myself from the accusers. The reality is that we as Moderators do not sit on here 24x7 (ok some may) - so I am coming back to see the groundswell of support.

I appreciate your dedication and devotion to XDA and to strongsteve. While the investigation into the workings of the ROM led me to make the judgement call to move them to where I felt it belonged - I hear the support and believe that the community would be better served with it in development.

There was no intention to censor on the other thread - only that the rules of XDA state there should be no trolling, etc. - so I again made the judgement call that the thread would be better served with an answer as to what happened and we all move on. Obviously that was not the best course of action as yet another thread popped up doing the same thing.

I am deeply disappointed at the amount of trolling and name calling and abuse that is being lumped onto both myself and others over this issue on both sides - and I ask that we all take a deep breathe before responding to these things. In addition, if you have an issue with someone it is better that you PM them and work things out privately instead of resorting to publicly complaining. It will always go better for you in the long run - and I can guarantee you will get better results.

I will move the threads back over to development once we restore the deleted content by the OP. Thanks again for your support of XDA and strongsteve.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joetrisman:
Thanks for being diplomatic
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spencer88:
It seems you "judgement call" on both issues (moving of the thread and closing of the argument thread) is a little off. I think your judgement needs re-evaluating.

Way to play it down though.
