[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
I was really freaked to hear this too, but I did some research real quick and my mind is now at ease. Here's why:

Until today I had literally read nothing on html 5 and therefore had no knowledge of its features, standards, and implementations. I know this news sounds bad but it is actually a good thing for the future of the internet.

Html 5 is going to combine a lot of the features of many different API and technologies, which means we actually are going to see a whole new WWW. instead of having many proprietary API like flash, Javascript (the DOM), ETC; all of these technologies will be in html 5 except the API will be standardized across all platforms because every browser will have to conform to the html 5 model. The features of flash, Javascript, etc will be included into it.

This means for us users; no more incompatibility due to having the wrong flash version (or none at all like lots of apple products, RIM products, etc). Flash can be replaced by markup inside a page's script, or in a file the page can access natively.

Anyway, to avoid a post that is too long and technical I will pause here. This is actually a good thing! Developers may have to do a bit of relearning, but we always do anyway because new technologies, standards, API, and programming languages are coming out all the time. Overall, and considering the big picture and long term, this is actually a good thing for developers and consumers alike. This change won't result in a loss but actually give far more than what already exists. Cheers!
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Yeah, this is really a no-never-mind for Android as an OS. It's not like Android adopted Flash and Apple adopted some "better" format. Android had Flash and Apple offered nothing! When HTML5 is online, Android will have that too. Bottom line: all this means is that for years, Apple offered nothing while Android had the only game in town. Now (maybe with "big brother" R.I.P.), maybe they'll finally both have the capabilities that Flash once offered as the only choice.

[HTC EVO 3D] LurkerJoe:
I don't understand what you mean by this. Apple is the one that's been pushing HTML5 and things have been moving towards HTML5 in the mobile game because of Apple's reluctance to go with Flash. And Flash wasn't on Android till last year, so I'm not sure where the 'years' are coming from.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Oh no, all that flash content I'll be missing out on, on my amazingly large and convenient 4.3" touchscreen.

/s

Seriously guys, Flash on mobile is so incredibly overrated, even though I have a phone that can do it now I don't remember the last time I used flash (and even when I did, there was probably a non-Flash alternative which was way better).

And as far as webapps are concerned, native apps with native APIs > flash/HTML5 webapps. Always.

Lol the flash player they have for android now works perfect for me lol I don't see a reason to update it anyways its good enough for me lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fighter_MA:
I have 7 desktops. The 4th is the main use (using Go Launcher) and then I have 3 on each side.

You know of any application, shortcut or widget that you can put the main desktop and pressing "jump" directly to the desktop that I tell you, without having to slide the screen to get?

What I want is to put an icon / widget / shortcut on the main desktop which when pressed jump directly to another desktop. That is, the default desktop as the primary use is 4. Okay then I'm at my desk 4, press an icon that I have in him and jump directly to the desktop 7 (for example).

I installed the ADW Launcher EX to try for a while, and actually have the option I mentioned. Is added as a shortcut if you and places an icon that jumps directly to the desktop you want.

The problem is that I really like the Go Launcher and will not change. So I put this post, if anyone know any application / widget outside the Launcher to do this.

Thank you.

There is no stable release. There is a lot of issues and you should really wait and go with MIUI or one of the modded samsung roms for now

Wrong. There is a stable release, and you can download it from the link posted above. Also, it's not full of bugs, but if you're going to try it, I suggest you go for the latest nightly; it should have more fixes than the stable build. However, it's an experimental build, so be prepared for weird things. I'm using it since a long time, and it's really stable on my phone.

Also, learn to f***ing post in the right thread ;)

[LG Optimus 2x] scompiani:
Hi everybody

I'm from Italy but I own a device imported from Holland (NLD) and doesn't seem it's going to get V20l update within few days. Is it possible to flash italian official V20l firmware and then unroot the phone in order to get gingerbread installed as it was downloaded by LG tool? This would make my phone an italian one? I mean that the next time an update will be available will I be able to install automatically the italian update from Lg Tool?

Thanks

Kind Regards

Stefano
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Yes. Or you can smartflash a completely stock 20L ROM, download it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1035041

No. The update tool sends the IMEI to the update server(s), which looks it up in its database to determine which country was the point of sale/intended market.

So the phone will still be identified as NLD, no matter which ROM you flash. (It may be possible to go to a service-center and have the IMEI re-assigned to Italy, not sure.)

Looks like the new ICE Gmail app will run on the A500.

Runs fine on mine with Lightspeed ROM .

To install you'll need to use a file manager such as Root Explorer.

Go to /system/app and rename gmail.apk to something else like gmail.apk1

Then copy the attached gmail.apk to that folder.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=754326&d=1319033154

That's it ! Any gmail widgets will vanish so you'll need to add new ones.

Does not work here on Thor's rom! I had to revert to the "old" Gmail and I lost my widget that shows the 4-5 last mails received.

Any1 can help?
[Acer Iconia A500] Bloodflame:
it works on Thor's ROM, as that is what I'm using it with.When putting the apk in /system/app make sure to set the permissions rw-r--r-- (you can do this with ES File Explorer or Root Explorer) and also reboot afterwards or you may get FC's.
[Acer Iconia A500] NoUseToRush:
Thanks Bloodfame, it works now...any idea as how to to get a widget similar to the one we had before?
[Acer Iconia A500] Bloodflame:
Glad it worked out for you. As far as the widget goes, honestly I have no idea what the old widget looked like (never use it) so I have nothing to go by. There is a nice widget included though. It's fully resizable and you can choose which label to display.
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
@NoUseToRush - I don't know if it will work but I attach the 3.1 gmail image which I extracted from the old APK.
[Acer Iconia A500] NoUseToRush:
@Bloodflame

thanks for the response. The only widget included, at least on my system, is the one that launches the email client included in Thors' rom...not the "modified" gmail we are now using.

Are any of you guys/gals running this ICS Gmail on 3.1 or are you all on some variation of 3.2? I'm still running rooted vanilla 3.1 and when I try to install the APK it comes up with error "failed to parse application". (I did change the permissions!)

Sorry ppl further question - When you replaced Gmail.apk did you also replace the "odex" file or did you leave the original one there? Thks for your patience :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] Bloodflame:
1) I'm using 3.2 and it's working for me.

2) You don't install the APK - it's manually replaced in /system/app

3) My ROM (and most other custom ROM's) are deodexed, therefore there is no odex file. You may need a deodexed ROM for this to work, as I believe there might be an issue trying to use the old odex file. Unless you can track down the odex for this version.
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
@Bloodflame - Many thanks for your answers. Never having installed a custom rom I did not realise the point about "deodexed". However I've decided today to try my luck at installing "Kekinash's near stock" rom so when that's done I'll probably try the ICS Gmail again. Your comment about deodexed comes at an appropriate time because last night I opened up the rom and found for every apk there was an accompanying odex and now I understand the difference between an odexed and deodexed rom :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] Bloodflame:
You're welcome. Glad I could help :)

It might be worthwhile to educate yourself on the Android terminology if you intend to do a lot of modding, flashing custom ROM's, and the sorts. odex/deodex, zipalign, compcache, kernels, etc. Learning what each of these do and how they can affect the performance of your ROM's might help with a happier Android experience overall. Never be afraid to ask questions and don't attempt any kind of modding without a full undestanding of what you're doing. Just my food for thought ;)

Hi,

Today, my Desire S froze up and I had to pull the battery. Now when I try to boot, it just shows the HTC logo and then goes black (with backlight on).

I can still go into recovery, but I don't have a recent backup :(

I can make one now, but I guess that won't help.

Is there a way to fix my phone without losing the data on it?
