Hi mate,

First question is he on verizon? if so you will need to get it sim unlocked (just call them and ask for the code)

you can band unlock it with this = http://www.mediafire.com/?rb5voutkiprab07

but sim unlock (GSM) needs a code from verizon

To root the phone you will need this file = http://www.mediafire.com/?n10le9o3eueus94

this works in ginger bread, just put your phone in charge only mode, run the Click to root your DROID 3.bat file and follow the on screen instructions (your phone will reboot itself 2 to 3 time, do not unplug it until the dos box tells you).

once you have done that you are going to have to install the following APK file so it installed recovery mode = http://www.mediafire.com/?768kl49sg1kzqqc

once you install the app, go in to it, do the bootstrap recovery, wait until it says sucessful and then when ever you need to go in to recovery mode choose the reboot recovery option (clock work mod doesn't work well on D2G so use this one)

the rom i say is best to you is = http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1259807
[Droid 2 Global General] Hitch_Itch:
Thanks for the info, good stuff,

He is on Verizon, what does the sim unlock do, Im not familiar with sim cards

I was wondering why people are not using clockwork. So can I use rom manager to backup his stock rooted rom before flashing a new rom?

Much appreciated

Hitch
[Droid 2 Global General] kurpter:
hi mate, yeah after you install the bootloader it will allow you to backup roms.

if he is verizon you might not need the code as you wont be using the gsm mode.

the boot loader works just like clock work mod
[Droid 2 Global General] Hitch_Itch:
Thanks again,

he wont use gsm, he stays in USA, he is not a traveler

does anyone know if the titan is going to make it to tmobile
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adiliyo:
highly doubt it, they should be getting the lumia 710 though if that's any consolation. :)
[HTC Titan] tboy2000:
Ok I was disappointed to find this out today...

I went into a Carphone Warehouse to try out the Titan. Now when it is cold, I wear thin silk lined leather dress gloves. Amazingly, I can operate my HD2 (with flashed WP7 rom) whilst still wearing the gloves. I hate having to remove them everytime I want to use the phone so I bought a pair that work with the screen. None of this expensive special capacitive gloves nonsense. Just a standard thin pair of Dents gloves. Anyway, so I can scroll through the menus, tap out an sms on the HD2 - all still gloved. However when trying to use the Titan with my gloves, its almost impossible to do so unless I press really hard. My gloved fingers dont register well and yet they do effortlessly on the HD2.

This is such a disappointment to find out.

Can anyone else with thin leather gloves try it out and see if they can use the UI without taking them off? What is so special about the HD2 screen that the Titan can't compete with in terms of sensitivity?
[HTC Titan] drokkon:
Unfortunately I can't help you out with the glove thing, but I can confirm that my Titan's screen seems significantly less responsive than my wife's Focus screen. It feels somehow "stickier" or less smooth, and take a few taps or swipes extra to get it to do what I want.

I know there's a learning curve and I'll subconsciously compensate in the coming days and weeks, but right now it's noticeable.
[HTC Titan] Strike_Eagle:
You will have a video about this tomorrow.

It really depends a lot on what kind of glove you have.

And also the Titan, the displayed one could filled with Fingerprint.
[HTC Titan] drupad2drupad:
I think the benefit of robust glass is disadvantage for a few of us. After dropping my phone 3 times in just a week and not facing shattered screen, im happy if gloves don't work!
[HTC Titan] Tempest790:
Thanks for field testing the durability for us! ;)
[HTC Titan] tboy2000:
Did you manage to make the video? Am curious to your testing.
[HTC Titan] O_G:
Fingerless gloves? :p
[HTC Titan] drupad2drupad:
Oh trust me that wasn't intentional at all! Especially after boldly refusing to buy the insurance with my titan, I nearly had my heart in my mouth the first time I dropped it!
[HTC Titan] tboy2000:
Fingerless gloves - warmer hands, cold fingertips :)
[HTC Titan] Strike_Eagle:

[HTC Titan] tboy2000:
Thanks for the video. Those gloves look thick. So are those gloves unlined or if not what sort of lining? My Dents gloves are quite thin and silk lined so am surprised they don't work on the Titan screen when they do work on the HD2 screen.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] elmanse:
Hello anybody who can help me and other people understanding what we see in applications which show memory info.

I want to understand why "meminfo" shows total RAM 335Mb and Internal phone storage: 420Mb (it is on my phone).

Official info from http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wportal/devworld/phones/phone-overview/xperia-mini-pro?cc=gb&lc=en says it should be the next:

- Internal phone storage: up to 320 MB

- RAM: 512MB !!!

One of my thoughts is that the part of memory is used by video-card :)

Please explain me why it happens :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dlmc85:
Some is dedicated to the graphic and some more is reserved from the system. The total is 512, don't worry.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dumraden:
Think of the Android Operating System as a Virtual Machine on your phone. It needs some RAM in order to work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] djarnop:
Can you modify the values besides a VM usage ram ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dumraden:
No. What you need in order to have more "system memory" which actually is part of the RAM itself is swap. Swap creates a partition on your sd card which then is used by the system to store temporary data. The thing is that its a double edged knife. NAND is 100 times faster than your typical SD card, so loading apps and/or part of the system on your swap partition might end up in a slower overall phone. But we wont have such a problem with our devices, because the system itself doesnt take all that much storage itself.

The only device so far that i know, which had a problem with storage was the Desire Z i own, when you wanted to flash a custom sense 3.0 rom. Then it needed different partitioning in order for the Sense 3.0 to fit into the device.(the device isnt a sense 3.0 device by default).

If you have many apps that you cant seem to fit in the 320mb of free memory, i recommend you install an app2sd application.

Is the flash not working kernel related? If not would it be possible to port CM7 camera over and see if flash works then? or even install another camera?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kjartansson:
Thx this is really a great tool, can it be used with other rom's then miui ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] WillihAngga:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lukewong01:
Great tool,but bugs i found so far : LED notification not working, it keeps pulse, the settings on there cant be set, i mean even if u turn it off it still keeps flashing fast
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bheremans:
it's a problem with sony ericson propritary camera libs.

it doesn't work in cm7 either.

only way is to activate camera light with torch app before going to camera app.

and remember ray doesn't has a "flash", with the se orginal rom you just acan activate and deactivate the light with a button in the camera app (button that still is missing in miui / cm7) but it stays on / off, it doesn't flash.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chiefy009:
I am moving to a ray, been using miui on my sgs and previously had an x10

How is this miui ? I read a lot about flash not working ? Is this camera flash ? Not worried as I dont use camera also does it stay off ?

Thanks

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chiefy009:
Will this tool support MIUI 2.1.6 (based on Android 4.0)

its an upgrade package http://www.miui.com/development.html can i flash it into my miui rum created by this tool, but use the upgrade package for the desire HD ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Guimenez:
I think it will.

But we need to wait for FXP team to make the CM9, because this great tool

use the cm as base
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chiefy009:
I just tried to flash the update and it failed it wouldnt update, need to wait then :D

Can i use this tool on a miui v4 for the desire hd ?

EDIT : this doesnt work i just tried it and it got stuck at boot
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] thetrisatria:
i dont think so. as we know ICS has different libs and files.

ask irijoo how to port MIUI ICS.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] neroyoung:
Please Add Xperia Mini Pro

Firstly one doubt full question,will it support Xperia Mini Pro ? As its not listed in supporting devices and also its HVGA mobile.

If not then is there any way to make it work on Xperia Mini Pro ?

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] thetrisatria:
there's no miui for hvga/mdpi. no one port into mdpi cuz miui code is closed / not open source.

sadly, there will be no support for xperia mini pro.

How safe does your x10 look?
[XPERIA X10 General] gregbradley:

I'm actually outraged.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:

its kinda sickening you need to be rooted just to even get rid of bloatware.

[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
I would not be shocked if a developer would find the same crap out of a i-phone.

I smell mordor farts..
[XPERIA X10 General] gregbradley:
NP:)

The threads in the q&a only appeared today I think, thats when i saw them...

[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
CIQ is bundled in kernel, firmware contains only parts of it apparently.

Also here you can read the official statement from the company itself.

My personal opinion, according to everything I've experienced so far in real life,

the truth is always somewhere in the middle.

I am not a big fan of "hyper-hypes", if you will.

I certainly think that legally it is not right to collect any personal data without user's acknowledgement but, if you ask me, CIQ is hardly the Rootkit Of All Evil.

And don't jump into the conclusion that I do not have respect for personal privacy, because I really, really do.

To me, however, posting photos on Facebook and having Facebook recognise faces and suggest which friends to tag

(which means that they don't just collect numbers and statisticks, they get to know our FACE, the thing that singles out the most as individuals.)

is much, much more horrifying and orwellian than HTC or any other mobile company knowing when my device crashed, a call dropped or what launcher do I use.

I've looked through the CIQ reports and findings by TrevE and while I fully recognise the achievement, the effort and the skills of said developer,

I fail to see the "evil" part in the extend that it's been presented lately.

It certainly looks bad, but I just can't bring myself to panic over it.

Also now there's a paid app that will supposedly remove logging from some devices. I am not sure I like that.

Someone will make money out of this and maybe, just maybe, has motive to want to keep users in panic, fear and uncontrollable rage over this.

Of course, I could be totally wrong, but still, it's something to think about.

And last but not least, panic and sciolism has never ever been a good advisor nor they will be. EVER.

[XPERIA X10 General] Stu|:
mmmm, boobies.

But she's right. Simple maths say it's better to buy the handset outright, but most people especially now can't afford the lump sum.

As for the logging of the data, that sort of crap needs to be opt in, not forced in.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
yeah those talking breasts make some very valid points
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Using the very same internet you pay for every month to do this.

People must be blind and stupid not to see the way that this could be abused.

And considering current trends in the market it would not sup prize me that it has been used often.

The company also acted very dodgy when it was discovered.

I as a user did also not agree to have something documenting my bowel movements for the last 4 years.

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

There’s a vast difference between:

a) voluntarily permitting sensitive personal data to be relayed to or by a known entity, in full awareness of the risks involved (i.e. that it could potentially be recorded, intercepted, or used for other purposes without your knowledge), and having the option to take appropriate steps to increase/ensure security (e.g. encryption, tunneling, or simply declining to use a particular service whatsoever); and

b) having your sensitive, personal, potentially unsecured data transmitted to and recorded by a third party of whom you are completely unaware, with neither your knowledge nor consent.

Giving up all rights to future use, transmission and retention of your data just because you temporarily entrust it to a third party is like saying you wouldn’t care if USPS employees opened, read, and recorded all your mail (and then forwarded it to all their friends), since they’re technically already “capturing” your letters when they’re dropped in a mailbox.

Also bear in mind that most legitimate companies with whom you’d be happy to do business will be upfront about how they record, retain, transmit, and use your data, likely having a public company policy and/or a ton of disclaimers and EULAs pertaining to personal data when you begin use of their service. Carrier IQ, on the other hand, would appear to be avoiding all that and simply doing whatever it wishes without advising the end-user of their actions whatsoever.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
I honestly think this has been blown out of proportion by the media... if you look at all the reports today.. everyone says their devices don't have this software (unless ofcourse, they have a similar software)

I'm just saying its not as widespread as people think it is
