I totally agree the law should be written so that there is no room for interpretation.. you know if what you are doing is illegal from day one, ignorance is not a defence, but as devils advocate the counter is that you end up with thousands of very specific laws for hundreds of situations whilst occurrences the lawmakers didn't think of at the time are getting through loopholes and running away.

Circumstantially you should really be able to use the end purpose of why you are doing what you are doing as to the criminality of what's going down. I don't think anyone on this board would argue that a 40 year old man pretending to be a 13 year old girl on a forum or website to talk to other teenagers should be made illegal and is a very wrong thing - but who hasn't said they are two inches taller on a dating profile or put their build down as "athletic" rather than "a few extra pounds" ;)

Bear in mind that the UK equivalent to this, the 'Digital Economy Act' was passed into law some time ago with barely a whimper of protest. Just like ProtectIP, it was kept quiet and barely reported on until it was too late. We just woke up one morning to draconian new laws. Again, it was bought and paid for by big media.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Economy_Act_2010

I doubt anything can be done to stop the same happening in the US, but perhaps enough pressure can be brought to bear to force some changes to the act. At least you guys have advanced warning to do something about it.

Edit: Big Content stacks Senate Committee

"US Senators have done their level best to give Big Content the law it wants to basically lock up citizens who might think of piracy or file sharing without having to worry about that pesky thing called constitution. The House Judiciary Committee today held an important hearing on the Stop Online Piracy Act but only those witnesses who would not object to the law being invited. This was designed to give the impression that all the witnesses were in favour of the law."

Bumping this due to some developments...

Well, this is finally seeing the light of day and getting coverage by some news agencies; caught these articles on Drudge Report.

I just want to say that I hope Chris Dodd dies in a fire. Slowly. FYI: He's a former Senator spearheading this bill AND the new head of the MPAA. Primarily by attempting to bribe members of Congress. Gotta love that the Hollywood/Record Label lobbyists are getting all the airtime, while the people who actually understand this stuff are being silenced as much as possible.

Not too late to call/write your representatives. You can also share these links with your friends...tweet them, facebook them, reddit them, do whatever. If these links don't scare the living s**t out of you, well...idk...too many benzos perhaps. Feel free to copy this post and use it wherever, if you wish.

All of these articles are great and cover a different aspect (with some overlap) of the consequences of this legislation. Props to The Hill for giving this so much coverage; glad someone's doing it.

MPAA Head Chris Dodd on Online Censorship Bill: China's the Model -- http://bit.ly/u7kgXy

"When the Chinese told Google that they had to block sites or they couldn't do [business] in their country, they managed to figure out how to block sites."

Google chairman says online piracy bill would 'criminalize' the Internet -- http://bit.ly/tRWEnj

"It's not a good thing. I understand the goal of what SOPA and PIPA are trying to do," Schmidt said of the Senate counterpart bill, the Protect IP Act. "Their goal is reasonable, their mechanism is terrible. They should not criminalize the intermediaries. They should go after the people that are violating the law."

Internet piracy bill: A free speech 'kill switch' -- http://bit.ly/tY6o6f

Consider this: Under the proposed legislation all that’s required for government to shutdown a specific website is the mere accusation that the site unlawfully featured copyrighted content. Such an accusation need not be proven – or even accompanied by probable cause. All that an accuser (or competitor) needs to do in order to obtain injunctive relief is point the finger at a website.

Legal expert says online piracy bill is unconstitutional -- http://bit.ly/tNBUDH

"Conceivably, an entire website containing tens of thousands of pages could be targeted if only a single page were accused of infringement," Tribe writes. "Such an approach would create severe practical problems for sites with substantial user-generated content, such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, and for blogs that allow users to post videos, photos, and other materials."

God, do I hate politicians.

P.S. For those interested in a more detailed analysis of how this is a flagrant violation of free speech: Laurence Tribe, a Harvard law professor and Supreme Court advocate, wrote a memo detailing how SOPA does exactly that -- http://scr.bi/sFSRBg

The AT&T SG2 had CM7 and MiUi roms basically on launch day I've notice roms seem to be coming slow on the skyrocket.

Is this because of the different chipsets, Dev Interest, or something else compared to SG2?

(This isn't me complaining I'm just curious , I also noticed no CM7 roms for T-Mobile SG2)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
This device is very new. Also There is no international version. Imsure the dev support will increase but gota have patience . Its a totally different device from the sgs2. Just hope more odevs becpme intrested in it. I think once ics is released for.it the dev support will increase. Supposed to be the first at&t device to recieve it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] -Kevlar-:
unfortunately, this is the same problem the infuse ran into.... which is why i left...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prodigalOne:
The SGS2 had it on the international phone, so migrating it was easy. New chip will delay the ROM's on the skyrocket, so be patient ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mentalcase:
The galaxy s2 lte is the international version of the skyrocket, but the issue is it released at around the same time and is not near as popular as the original gs2.

Our phones are very similar to the tmo GS2, so once they get a cm7 port the skyrocket version shouldn't be far behind.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Synner12:
You should not stick with this phone if you are hoping for a ton of dev support. Frankly, we're lucky to have what we have right now (thanks guys!). This is a one off phone and as such, it's more difficult to port stuff over to it. I consider it highly unlikely that we'll see any Cyanogen or MiUi love on this phone unless portability some how gets easier with ICS.

I'm not huge on installing ROM's just to play with them. I come here more for problem solving on stock + root configs, so this isn't a big deal for me. But I can understand why it's a big turn off to some people.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bdbx18:
The ROMS for the Infuse came fairly quickly after the phone was available. Subsequent cooked ROMs then started becoming more stable just about 3-4 months after. Of course, it all depends on the availability of dev support for the SR and hopefully they are coming onboard soon enough.

Then again, if you want *more* than a few ROMs to choose from, then the 'regular' sgs2 may be more up your alley.

I NEED MY STOCK ANDROID BACK... touch wiz is pretty but i went from g1 to n1 to skyrocket and i miss some things :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RockRatt:
A second line is coming up for upgrade (for the wife) and I have thought about getting/trying out the skyrocket as I have the original att SGS2 and love the rom and dev support. Already testing out the international versions alpha build of ice cream sandwich. But for the wife's phone I don't think I want to mess with it as much though. But it DOES boil down to dev support and roms I guess. Is it really this slow in here? I love my OG SGS2 and even though we will have lte in my area by years end I wont be giving up mine for anything. I got my OG SGS2 two days after launch and at first was excited by the lte version until it was confirmed to have the snapdragon and not the exerynos. So I was glad I stayed.

So my question is has any well known devs jumped into the skyrocket arena yet? The dev section looks kind of lonely right now. I have a month to decide whether to get her a OG SGS2 or the skyrocket so I am in no rush. I saw all the threads and have followed the skyrocket until it was moved out of our sub forum, so I have read all the debates and arguing about the differences between the OG and skyrocket. Haven't been in here for a few weeks now and it looks almost the exact same developer section wise. Other than being rooted have you guys seen any spectacular advancements as we have seen in the OG SGS2? I am NOT in here trolling but just wanted to get all your inputs as well. Are you still glad you went with the skyrocket? Are you glad you didn't just take it back and get a OG SGS2? I know with lte you guys get kick ass download speeds, and in my OG I get 8Mb download and haven't had any issues streaming anything, downloading anything, or visiting any web pages. So is it worth it in your eyes for me to get the skyrocket for the wife? PLEASE only real answers, I am not here for flaming wars or "my device is better because" replies, I am not trying to stir up the emotions I have seen between the two in the past. So again please just your honest and as possible unbiased opinions. Thanks

PS.I posted this here because I run CM7 on my OG SGS2. Not sure if I could give it up though touchwiz on our (both) att SGS's gets the job done. Plus with testing out alpha builds of ICS we are in for a WHOLE change of goodness as long as the ASOP build looks and feels. Unless samsung or att don't ruin it that is.

I would certainly love to see CM7 support for this device. i think it would be tremendous oversight for it to get swept under the table and miss out on CM7.1 + CM9.

I do not see it happening .. i believe it will show up sooner or later.

Patiently holding out on purchasing "ics device." just to "have an ics ROM."

people the phone came out a month ago! i was on the SGSII forum, and we didn't have CM support immediately, it took time patience and DONTATIONS! if no one is donating, please quit crying!! You can always return the device. It is not a good look for those of in the community (irc.irondust.net; #skyrocket) that are either attempting to be a part of the solution. Da_G is looking into a port now. Furthermore, Samsung was sent an email re the release of the source code.

We have to DEMONSTRATE DEMAND. Nothing in life is given, or assumed. At least not in the business world folks!

Instead of a HUGE thread on how to run a TMO ROM on our devices, we could request support instead on the Cyanogenmod thread for OUR device? Just a thought... not a flame

Any Dev will tell you the facts.. if he knows this device, he knows there are more than enough similarities BTW sgh-i727 and tmo sgs II for cyanogenmod to run a simple port. You guys must've not read up much .. this would be cake for those fellas.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DANIEL133337:
The Skyrocket will be worth it in the long run, I know we might not have much dev support at the moment but eventually when ICS comes to this phone officially it will grow. I'm running this phone stock at the moment and I LOVE it no lag at all, and mostly I'm loving my 55mbps download speeds down here in Texas (;

Apparently you have to uninstall 4.0.1 first. Duh! Guess I tried everything but google... I'll go to my corner now.

Reboot and install of 4.0.9 from Market was successful. However, it just FC. :mad:

Ignore me. Uninstall/reboot/re-install and now it works
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] handyguy:
Mine updated perfectly fine except oddly enough it does not look like the preview of the app I saw on theverge.com. Is it showing the tablet version? As it shows cover art in portrait mode, btw i'm still on streakdroid 2.3 though as it has been stable for me, so this may be the reason my update went fine.

I tried using Root Explorer and deleting /system/app/music.apk (when I had 4.01) but kept getting the error "App already exists" even after rebooting.

I still couldn't download the market version for some reason so I snagged the 4.09 from here

You cant install 4.09 if you have 4.01 installed as they apparently have different certs, this is true for all apps
[General Questions and Answers] cityneversleepz:
This is the error message I was getting on my htc evo 4g in Amon RA recovery. My evo would not recognize the sd card. It would not mount. I don't know what caused it, but I figured out how to get rid of it. First , I searched for a solution and got scared. Some other devices were having this error and some said it was a mother board issue. Here is what I did. I took the sd card out and used an sd card reader with my laptop. The card needed to be re formatted. I re formatted it and then put it back in my device. I partitioned it. I had the sd card backed up already on my laptop, so I just transfered everything back. About one day has passed and it seems fine now. What caused this? I am suspicious of the following: I use Link2SD. I love this app, but something strange has been happening since I switched back to Sense. I had the sdext partitioned to upgrade to ext 3. I had it that way from when I was on cyanogen 7. When on CM7 the Link2SD app recognized the ext 3 and nothing went wrong. When I switched to Sense, Link2SD didn't recognize ext 3, but would create the mount script using ext 2 even though the card was partitioned with ext 3. It seemed to work fine, but after just a short time I ran into this problem. So, I am suspicious. Last, when I re partitioned the card, I left it at ext 2.

Hope this helps someone out.

Hello, i have confused my self on trying to figure out what partial wakelocks are and how to control them.

LG G2x CM7 nightly 199, better battery stats and a 3500 mah battery that lasts about 9 hours on moderate usage.

better battery stats tells me that com.cooliris.media.gallery is at 53min of partial wakelocks since i unplugged it 4 hours ago and i can't figure out why. i know it is part of the java package according to AOSP. can some one tell me what it does or point me in the right direction to figure it out.

It's probably running in the background syncing your Google Picasa albums. Disable the syncing for Picasa under Acconts in settings.

1. Install HSPL

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611433&highlight=hspl

Read the thread and understand the steps in installing HSPL. You want to end up with 2.08 HSPL showing in your tri-color bootloader screen.

2. Flash a X.XX.50.X radio

This is the radio I use, works well for me:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=51PYHGFY

3. Install MAGLDR 1.13 (see step 5)

4. Visit HD2 NAND Android forum and decide on a rom you would like to install.

5. Flash CWM Recovery with the appropriate size partition layout for the rom you intend to use.

The partition sizes are generally within the first or second post of the thread you download the rom from.

This tool is the easiest way to install MAGLDR and CWM recovery with the correct partition size:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090783&highlight=nand+toolkit

6. Download the rom from the thread and transfer it to the root of your sd card.

7. With your sd card in your phone, boot up while holding down the power button.

You should get the MAGLDR menu. Using your volume buttons, scroll down to AD Recovery. Select it with the 'accept call' (green phone) button.

8. In CWR, choose Flash Zip From SD, choose zip from sd, and flash your ROM.

9. reboot system

10. Enjoy Android!

This is just the steps you need to take in order to install Android to NAND memory of your HD2. I highly recommend reading up on what you are doing in order to fully understand all your options, as you can keep Windows Mobile and dual boot Android from SD, you can use Ubuntu on your HD2, there's really a lot of options with this phone. The more you read up and understand your options, the better off you will be.

according to the ifixit teardown, at least on the first production run it looks like they used a Jorjin WG7310 WLAN controller that also includes BT and FM. it appears they simply left out the antenna and now that we have source, has anyone looked at how difficult it would be to cook in BT and FM support, assuming we install our own antennas?

http://www.jorjin.com/Product_SiPmodule_WG7310.htm
[Kindle Fire General] mdstricklin:
How do you know that they left out the antennas?
[Kindle Fire General] neyenlives:
well the antennas would have had to be detailed on the FCC filing and they were not. I can't imagine why they would pay extra to engineers to design in antenna routing for features they were never planning on using anyways. Then the cost of having the antennas put in the hardware would also be unnecessary......im fairly certain they were trying to cut every dollar out of it when possible, but i dont know for sure yet
[Kindle Fire General] boomn:
The Nook Color has a similar chip and no antenna but Bluetooth still functions though with a range of only few feet. I don't know the correct physics terminology, but I believe the chip and the system board act as a primitive antenna. Of course, if the BT functionality operates through separate pins on that chip than the wifi then BT will only work if those data and power pins are properly connected into the system too.

heres something i just noticed.. in the init.rc it has this:

# do not launch the Radio Interface Layer daemon (RILd) service

# since there is NO modem on the board

#service ril-daemon /system/bin/rild

# socket rild stream 660 root radio

# socket rild-debug stream 660 radio system

# user root

# group radio cache inet misc audio sdcard_rw

but, then it has this:

service bluetoothd /system/bin/bluetoothd -n

socket bluetooth stream 660 bluetooth bluetooth

socket dbus_bluetooth stream 660 bluetooth bluetooth

# init.rc does not yet support applying capabilities, so run as root and

# let bluetoothd drop uid to bluetooth with the right linux capabilities

group bluetooth net_bt_admin misc

disabled

so it seems that it could support bluetooth.. i installed the bluetoothd binary, but in logcat at boot it says:

BluetoothHeadset( 1394): Could not bind to Bluetooth Headset Service

ActivityManager( 1394): Unable to start service Intent { act=android.bluetooth.IBluetoothHeadset }: not found

so im guessing the next thing is to mod the services.jar to include bt services?

the 2nd chip in the wifi module is the same as the WiFi/BT front end chip in the Nook Color. This is antenna switch, combining both the BT and WiFi connections to use only one antenna. See here and here and here.

If the BT portion is hooked up to a UART on the OMAP, and the BT power enable is wired or connected in tandem with the WiFi power, then BT should be possible.
