[Wildfire Themes and Apps] tobitronics:
Hi folks,

i recently read an article about an app called WalkSafe. It basically uses an algorithm to detect incoming cars using the camera while you are walking on the street and calling. It basically can save your life ;) So I wanted to download it form the market, but found out it was not compatible with the Wildifire. So I downloaded the app from some filesharing website (the app is free so no piracy ;) ) and installed it. But it just forever hangs on the startup screen (when there appears a bar under the status bar with the name of the app). Is there a fix for this? Is it wildfire related or app related :confused: ? I couldn't find anything on the web so far...

Thanks in advance
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
So you are ready to give your life into the hands of an app algorithm rather than waiting for a bit and getting off the street for texting/calling? Whatever floats your boat.

Anyway, its most probably the app itself. The devs have probably not configured it for low end devices.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] tobitronics:
Its not that i will trust this app, i was just curious to see if it works. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion
[Kindle Fire Android Development] keyesdav:
Has anyone stumbled upon any private APIs that might allow a notification to sneak outside of the rollup that the Fire does for all application notifications? It's a real pain (and bad design, IMO) for on-going notifications to get buried where they're not seen.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
TBH I hope that someone mods in the original notification bar.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izmatron:
After reading all of this mess about the Carrier IQ "rootkit" being installed on carrier devices, I was curious to know if the Nexus One has this same key-logging software deeply embedded.

I am hoping that it isn't, at least for the phones that were sold as unlocked/unbranded. The individual that uncovered this found it on his HTC Evo. So, is this limited to carrier branded devices?

Are all of your drivers installled for phone?
[LG Optimus 3D] wencel:
hey, if you're using the app on that site this WILL NOT work, cause the link there is for old SuperOneClik 1.9.5

To root Optimus 3D with Gingerbread you need to use the newer version of SuperOneClik - v. 2.2

now its ok :D delete my topic
[LG Optimus 3D] yahiaga:
Make sure that drivers are properly setup (sorry for repeating, but it is must !) . And check that your phone is detected (may be use Lg mobile update).

Otherwise, with the latest version of superoneclick, it works!
[Galaxy S II General] Evollution:
So I don't like the original My Files apk I used Miui ROM for some time and I really liked it's user experience because it was very organized .. All files was organized by categories and with one click I could access all my documents files ..music .. Apk files it was very easy too use and very easy to manage files from sdcard

Is there any apk that has this functions... Where files are organized by type..?
[Galaxy S II General] LouisJB:
Try "File Expert" the best file manager out there (in my opinion) . Has tabs as well.
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
ASTRO is a really good File Manager. But, i don't think there is any app, which categorises the apps, other than miui file manager.
[Galaxy S II General] LouisJB:
"File Expert" GUI has recently been updated an has the categories you wanted as well.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] boardsportsrule:
never used ATT's return service and had a few questions.

1) is 'no unlocked bootloader' a 'valid' reason for return? or should I mention the random reboots, extreme dislike of sense, and problems with the headphone jack?

2) is there a $35 fee? And if so, any tips on getting this waived?

3) if i bought as 'an upgrade', and i return, does that 'upgrade' get credited back to me if I choose not to use it at the time of return?

I am contemplating going back to my previous device until a phone comes out that I actually want, or returning and swapping for SGSII, but I want some info before I make that move.

Thanks,
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
I am actually curious about your third question regarding the upgrade.. I've always wondered the same thing.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] radi0chik:
I wouldn't try the "not unlocked bootloader" as an excuse, as that's the way it was when you bought it. (yes, I'm pissed about it too, though.) I'd use whatever else it's doing/not doing.

There is a "restocking fee" and I've not had much luck getting around that. A small price to pay, I guess.

Yes, your 2 year extension returns. (I think that's what you're asking?) I did that to a samsung captivate a couple years ago, and a month or so later re-upgraded to a BB Torch. I was basically "off contract" between those times.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
1. AFAIK, no. Reboots and headphone jack are the only valid ones out of the ones you listed.

2. Yes, and it won't be waived. Standard protocol with most expensive electronics.

3. Yes, it is credited back if it is within 30 days. I've done this before.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] spaceboyusa:
+1 on the answer to 3...upgrade resets. I checked on this yesterday at my local AT&T store as I'm considering returning my Vivid Sunday (end of my 30 days) to BB but then possibly getting the LG Nitro HD from the AT&T store and didn't want to screw myself out of the upgrade. AT&T rep said so long as I return my Vivid to BB within 30 days of purchase, system will reset to be upgrade eligible again.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
I don't mean to hijack the thread but I have a question regarding number 3 with returning and upgrade.

I originally upgraded to the Skyrocket then exchanged it for my Vivid. I was charged the restocking fee for having returned the Skyrocket. Can I still return my Vivid and get the upgrade eligibility back? So in essence, could I return my Vivid then - if I felt like it - just get another Vivid again under upgrade?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] AnyMal:
You will get your upgrade back.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
Thanks. Sorry for any redundancy in my question. I was just wondering if that applied to me even though I exchanged my device after upgrade already.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dusty2422:
Are you sure about that? I upgraded to the SGSII, exchanged for the Vivid during the 30 day window, and went to the ATT corporate store last night to look at the Skyrocket and they told me I couldn't do another exchange. I pointed out how dumb that was since i paid $35 for the first restock and would have to pay another $35 for the second restock but they seemed pretty sure of themselves and said if what I was trying to do was the case, people would just keep doing it to get a new phone every month. If the boot loader on the Vivid isn't unlocked this week, should I try again?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
This is what I did, too. I upgraded to the Skyrocket, exchanged it for the Vivid at the cost of the $35 restocking fee. Then I messed up my first Vivid and they changed it for free (corporate store). I later went back to exchange it for a white one and they said that only one exchange is allowed.. which is why I'm curious as to whether or not I can return the device and get back my update.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] XAviierG:
Anybody want to trade a iPhone 4 32gb for a vivid ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sohoxda:
..

Isn't there a thread somehwere that said the Vivid and the Raider's bootloader can be unlocked at HTCdev.com? I don't think the phone is listed but apparently, it worked.

Anyways, I think the stock is good enough. Will wait for the ICS update when it comes out soon.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
No variations of the Holiday - Vivid or Raider - are listed on HTCdev, but the Raider can still be unlocked. The Vivid can't.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nstone97:
I had no issues returning my vivid last week. I simply told them I wanted to trade for the skyrocket because I didn't like the weight of the vivid compared to the skyrocket. I was out of town and was able to return the vivid for 199 and buy the skyrocket for 149. The area I was in had the $100 discount on the LTE phones, which makes no sense because I was in an area that had no hopes of getting LTE in the near future but live in an area that has LTE...

I did let them know the main reason I returned the vivid was the locked bootloader when I filled out their survey on the phone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
did you have to pay the restocking fee?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] boardsportsrule:
did you purchase for $100, and return for $200?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] h078:
advntage of upgrading is to do it @ Costco store if u can. They let you swap quite a few phones and no restocking fee. Also you can exchange your phone within 90 days for any other phone for any reason- all you need to say is that you dont like it. However keep in mind that regular contract extension kicks in after 30 days are up. Before vivid i had sgs2 and had reception issues - returned, took atrix2 and phone was awesome in every aspect but camera was useless (10x worse than camera on my trusty nokia n95) so atrix2 was returned too in favor of vivid. i like vivid so far the best (aside bootloader issue) but my fault is that i have not learned my lesson back from the day of tilt2 and class actions for video drivers with HTC...nothing happened then,and i strongly believe that nothing will happen now with Vivid also...but i still like it.... if we get b-loader unlock , fine... if not i personally can wait until end of January next year and if Costco gets some other cool phone i'll swap Vivid cause that is when my 90 days are up..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] radi0chik:
if we bought our vivid from dialing 611 to AT&T can we return it to costco? or do we have to return it to AT&T and then go to costco to get whatever else we buy?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] h078:
of course not, your 1st purchase and all exchanges must be done through Costco...same as if you are to buy tv in BestBuy and wanted to return it to WalMart...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquinn19:
Some people seem to have exchange and return a little mixed up in this thread. If you bought one phone and exchanged it for another you are still free to go return that new one. Just use an old backup phone or something. I would advise people to not do exchanges at all anyways and just return the phone. It's a little but of a PITA, but it's worth it. This is assuming you bought in store. Online or over the phone is a bigger mess with exchanges and returns.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
Yeah would be nice to get an answer.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] mrdunlop:

Instead of disassembling it, I was going to purchase a female DC receptacle and hard wire that. After, just tuck it away out of view.

[LG Optimus 2x] XXMrHyde:
Hi,

I`m trying to change the color of the callscreen background, but it doesn't work.

I replaced the bg_in_call_gradient_*.9.png`s with color ones, but the background is still black. Do I have to edit any xml`s?

I use this rom (V20l stock, deodexed with root)
[LG Optimus 2x] xerum525:
there are more than one 9.png that u have to change.... and as well you have to mark the new 9.png with draw 9 patcher.
[LG Optimus 2x] XXMrHyde:
i have change all callscreen backgrounds 6 or 7 I think. I also marked patches, and recompile .9.png. using draw 9 patch recompiler.
[LG Optimus 2x] XXMrHyde:
I added : "android:background="@drawable/bg_in_call_gradient_normal"" in "incall_screen.xml" in line "<FrameLayout android:id="@id/mainFrame"...". Now the incallscreen-background shows the bg_in_call_gradient_normal.9.png. So the first step works, :D

But, it would be nice if it looks like CM7, different backgrounds for "normal", "connected", "bluetooth", "ended", "on_hold" and "unidentified". If my information is right, since (LG`s ?) 2.3.4 this "feature" is "deactivated", any chance to "activate" this in Stock 2.3.4?

Formatted/wiped data/cache and then flashed Deodexed/Debloated 5.6.890 (http://rootzwiki.com/topic/5208-rom-droid-3-deodexed/), but it hangs at a black screen after rebooting.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
I was under the impression that this ROM had been fixed for Safestrap, but you're the 2nd person to say something about it. I'll have to download it and check.

Or you can check the ROM yourself:

1. Make sure there isn't a /system/etc/rootfs folder in the .zip file. If there is, just delete it and after wiping the /system partition try flashing again.
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
Thanks for the response, Hashcode. I'll give it another shot once I get out of class.

Edit: Just checked. There most certainly is a rootfs folder in /system/etc in the .zip file. Deleting it prior to flashing won't cause any malicious effects?

Second Edit: Confirmed stable flash after removing /rootfs prior to flashing. Thanks Hash.

I've used Sheep ROM, e.t.c.. and none of them are as fast, stable, or complete as this ROM. It is absolutely awesome. I'll leave the rest up to you, but I figured I would help some of you by pointing towards this ROM.

Give it a go and you won't look back, just make sure you follow the installation process set out!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pjm77:
How is this one with multitasking? I've played around with Supercharged script on my own and I loved it except it kept closing the apps I was using the moment i put them in the background. Kinda annoying, could you do a quick check (preferably with something CPU/RAM intensive like 3D game or browser with many tabs)??? I'd be really grateful, I'm too lazy to flash a ROM just to get disappointed...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sstanton86:
Well, so far so good. Seems perfect.

An issue I've had with other ROM's, is that it always lags in the browser, so far this one doesn't. Over all it feels nippier and smoother, all I can say is try it and see what you think :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeremy.chan:
is that the stock browser, or other browsers?

can you run a test with

- 3rd party browsers (dolphin, miren)

- 3rd party dialers (rocketdial, for eg)

- go launcher ex

would appreciate it if you could give the results, thanks!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] sdelliott31:
I am contemplating selling my transformer in order to get the HTC Flyer. I like the form factor and the ever note integration. I know the flyer is 1.5ghz single core but I've read where this is almost equal to the dual core for the Transformer, though mine is ocd to 1.4ghz. Cameras are about equal, but I might be prone to use the flyers camera more as it is more portable. I can read reviews and watch YouTube vids all I want. Right now I am on Prime ROM. I qm a teacher so this is more for note taking and movies books and games and the occasional notes and GPS. I'm still looking for that all in one device.

I guess if I really anted it all minus the camera quality I'd get the ipad 2. But next year the 3 will be out and the price is pretty high and its almost too easy.

Thanks for looking.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hauj0bb:
If I'm not mistaken, the HTC Flyer doesn't even run Android Honeycomb. Not sure why you'd want to go from a 3.2.1 device to a 2.3+ device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
But we're under the assumption that ICS will be ported to any device that has active devs, right? In any case... I think taking notes gets harder and harder when you go toward a smaller surface area.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sdelliott31:
True, but because of the pen that is made specifically for it, note taking is supposed to be easy. Then I read on the forums for the Flyer that due to flooding or something in Taiwan that the Flyer is hard to get. I was playing with the demo at BB last night. Didn't even think to as about if there were any in stock lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
Hmm, didn't know about the stylus, I want to look at it! haha
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eli.kennedy:
I thought long and hard about this before I made my TF purchase decision.

I honestly see these devices as being in totally separate categories.

The portability and 3G capability of the Flyer is an awesome bonus for content consumption on the go - like public transport and sitting at the airport etc.

The screen size and dock features of the TF make it a potent all rounder but it's more of an at home in bed or on the couch device.

Personally I find the world that is opened up by the dock (think external hard disk, mouse, keyboard etc) and the dual core (mines OC at 1.6) made it a compellign choice for me.

For most people I don't think these are competing products - depending on your use cases it's likely one wouldn't even be a consideration and the other would be ideal.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] skeeterpro:
Looked at the Flyer when I was looking for a 7" tab. Nice unit. But what broke the deal for the Flyer is 2.3 GB with iffy upgrade. I've read (take with a grain of salt here) that HTC is "maybe" getting out of tablets (a la HP). The Flyer has been on 2.3GB for a loooooong time so ICS, IMO, might be even further down the road (if at all). Add in the price of the pen (yes, it is sold separately) and I walked away. Tried the Acer A100. Rotten screen (non-IPS) viewing, weak battery life broke the deal there. KF? Nope. Want a real tablet. NT? Bootloader remains locked so far but still better than the KF. Got the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and most pleased.

Agree. These are two completely different use unit. Sure they can do similiar tasks but are used differently IMO.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kkcheong:
As a Asus Transformer user and HTC Flyer user, HTC Flyer is more stable than Transformer because well, Android Gingerbread/Froyo is more stable than Honeycomb.

I use HTC Flyer more now because I can bring it out. The form factor is very good. Quality built like iPad without creaking like Transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jordanjay29:
I'm looking at your sig, and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed.

Three tablets? Wow, that's amazing. Do you have a use for all of them, or do any collect dust or get used more infrequently/as a hobbyist toy?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] skeeterpro:
Heck. I've seen people with more toys than I! :)

Actually the only device that doesn't get daily use is the NC Each device has a primary purpose (that can be interchangable at times) but honestly much depends on what I need to do. For example, for Grand Rounds the GTab7+ works better as it's smaller. On desk the TF works well, with the transportability if need be. As all (except the NC) run same HC version my business apps all port well (reference/DDX/Pharmacy/etc). So, yeah only the NC is seeing less use. But fully charged and ready if needed!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ERamseth:
I have nook color, flyer, and now transformer.

I use flyer as a more portable tablet in that i, take it on the metro for reading books and use it at work for taking notes. I find the pen to be fantastic.

Transformer is a better form factor for surfing the web (anything more than a quick check of some wikipedia page here or there). It stays at home mostly. If I take a trip somewhere, I'll bring it for movies and such, but I find it a bit large to whip out while traveling (metro, car, plane).

Nook color I gave to my fiancee, but she seems to like the transformer better (maybe size does matter?). Honestly I kinda saw the flyer as an upgraded nook color (nc doesn't have usable bluetooth, cameras, microphones, or HDMI out).

As for honeycomb upgrade for the flyer... There have been a number of increasingly more complete honeycomb builds leaked for the flyer, with the latest being leaked within the last month. This leads me to believe that the official honeycomb upgrade isn't too far off.

Not that anyone really cares, but I've also got an EVO 4G (quite honestly, still a great device), and the original G1.

@OP: did you decide what to do?
