Just go buy a $10 prepaid visa card from Wal-Mart and use that on the account or buy one of those dog shock collars to put on the kids and if they make a purchase without permission give them a 2 second shock eventually they will learn.
[Kindle Fire General] GBH2:
That is a great app idea - if one of the kids hits the buy button a signal is sent to the dog collar - ZAP!

One Click

You can remove your credit card from one click shopping, but then it becomes a pain in the neck to even get the "free" apps.
[Kindle Fire General] CZroe:
...even when they aren't making the purchases! Mommy or Daddy sits in the recliner with the Kindle Fire making purchases and the kids by the fireplace start writhing in agony. :eek:

GREAT IDEA!! lol
[Kindle Fire General] neyenlives:
As a parent myself OP, i would tell you not to expect many adult responses here. No offense to the members, but most of the people here are far from caring about parenting responsibilities. Heck, most of them are still almost "children" themselves.

As a parent, who just gave his 10yr old a Fire for Christmas, I will say I left WiFi on, went through it with her for a while to make sure she understood how to look for stuff, then I connected a pre-paid payment card to my one-click account. Sort of like giving an allowance....

Now, I do think they need to give parents the ability to create sub-accounts (on the computer only) where I can give my daughter access to her own account, on her Fire, and I can simply click a "filter adult content" or choose a "rating" like PG13. While I am not a big fan of censorship at the same time the problem is Amazon gives equal access to adult porn type stuff as childrens book. So if she inadvertently is doing a search for "big black socks" and accidentally types "*****" then Houston we have a problem.

That is the thing Amazon needs to do to help the situation. Make it where, even as an adult, if I don't want to have adult content come up in the search results of my device, give me that choice. Right now as it is their solution is an afterthought and unacceptable at best. I don't care if she has access to WiFi, I care about the content and ability to order. Using a prepaid card is a workaround, not a solution. I am a real parent who doesn't just hand my kid off to a device. Hell, my wife hasn't worked for over 10 years, a decision we made a long time ago, to stay home with the kids so we were the ones raising them, not some nanny. But Amazon has not taken responsibility yet on the Kindle as a family device.

2. Set up applock pin

3. Pick which apps to protect

[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
Short of turning off WiFi, there is little Amazon can do that would make many happy. With WiFi on, there is no real content control on the Silk Browser assuming you even use that. And any type of control that you might think they should make would be unacceptable to other parents and a no win solution.

Fact is, an Internet accessible device is not a good idea of a child who is not under observation but that depends a great deal on how the child deals with responsiblities, following directions and rules.

I know that some adults that can't be trusted with an Internet device let alone children.

As for limiting damage for unauthorized purchases... these is already a solution for that (Pre-Paid Credit Card) which puts the control in your hands without involving Amazon in the process.

Amazon is in a no win situation when it comes to children as what they should or should not be allowed to do or access, is a Parent thing, not an Amazon thing.
[Kindle Fire General] asb2164:
Way to go man now every time someone does a Google search for "Big Black Co***" your post will show up.
[Kindle Fire General] MadJoe:
Much better than the alternative, imho.

Although I'm kind of curious what ten year old would be searching for "big" socks, our even boring black ones...never mind not know what is likely to show up with a weird search like that.

Damn you Swype!
[Kindle Fire General] asb2164:
Maybe the 10 year old has big feets
[Kindle Fire General] neyenlives:
For the marketplace all they have to do is categorize all the adult content as adult content, and then provide a setting in the dashboard to allow or not allow adult content in search results.

I am not asking for a web browser filter. I can provide that through my router, which is only good while at home but that's where it will stay anyways.....

Already ahead of you on the pre-paid card option but that's a workaround. I am the account holder. I should be able to manage my devices if they can charge to my account.
[Kindle Fire General] CZroe:
I think it's inexcusable that device makers and programmers of all types continually fail to consider and accomodate multiple user scenarios, but I find it even worse that power users make excuses for them. I find it an endless source of frustration when I accidentally post as my brother on the HP TouchPad because logging out and in is such a pain. Rather than considering having *TWO* complete WebOS installs in addition to CyanogenMod7 Android 2.3 Gingerbread, I should have a simple user account dialog.

Remember when 2KGames had to perform damage control after one of their forum employees asked a forum employee why his brother thought he could play Bioshock for free? All the user had asked was why he needed to use two of a limited number of total activations on the same machine for two different Windows users to play. It's all a matter of perspective: They would not have dared to ask a console user that question if a family were sharing the console. Now, instead of getting up-in-arms like the PC gamers who were being treated like second-class gamers, we make excuses for Amazon and act like our workarounds are primary solutions just because they exist. Not everyone has a pre-paid card or temporary card (I don't) and not everyone is willing to give up the system-wide convenience of having their information on file just so that a specific device can function as they desire.

I installed the Google Market on a coworker's Kindle Fire and user my Google account to test and load a few apps. When I was done, I tried to delete my Google Account and it said I needed to go to Settings>Device>Erase All User Data. @!$!#!

I have a big problem with my Nexus S. I bought it from US but actually i live in Turkey. And some programs don't work in my country like navigation, system info widget, even original music player(ICS). What should i do to solve these annoying problems? I couldn't manage to use market enabler. Its just not working (NexusBeam_4.1.0)

Thanks for the reply guys but Im not trying to move my apps to the sd card . Im trying to make the data that the apps download go to the sd card
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raduque:
I don't think you can. The internal storage is mounted to /mnt/sdcard, and apps seem to always put their downloaded data on /mnt/sdcard. Only tip I can give is to move all your music, pics and videos to the external card to make room for the app data.

Or, move game data to the external sd card when you're not using it, then move it back when you want to play that game.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
Wow that sucks. But your right. I guess that is my only option
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
Hey guys I figured out that cyanogen has that option to use internal or external sd for data storage. Is there a stock rom that offers it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
No, at least not on any stock based android I've seen. Cyanogenmod was designed to be installed onto the ext sd card. The 'option' it gives is to use the internal, not the other way around. Technical difference, but nonetheless.

I've never seen a stock based 'prom' (that's for you gary) for any phone that had android installed onto the ext sd card.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] nameless912:
I saw on a thread somewhere that someone was trying to change the server that the RAZR downloads its updates from. I was thinking, maybe you could hijack the bootloader this way:

Root, then ADB into your phone and change whatever XML or manifest or whatever governs the download location to a community sourced server.

Then, package a custom ROM duplicating the signature of the "official" update, but with a nuked bootloader. Perhaps a way to get an unlocked bootloader working?

Anyone have any experience in any of that? I don't know much about how a lot of this works, but maybe someone could help me get this started at least?

I've been away from the Fascinate for several months but I'm back. I am familiar with rooting, Odin etc.....

My question is, I want to root but not install a custom rom/kernel yet till I get myself refreshed. So what is the easiet way to this now??

Firmware version - 2.2.1

baseband version - EB01

kernel - 2.6.32.9

Just out of curiosity, which ROM do you guys prefer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
Its all personal opinion but I prefer unnamed. Battery life is great...which is what I want. Never had a reason to change so I can't speak for other roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] smknutson:
Unnamed for the win
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] autonomous-inc:
Try them all. It's not difficult to flash, Google will load most your apps back anyway on a fresh install, and you won't get a biased opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] getbuzzin:
UnNamed on Monday, ICSrewD on Tuesday, SensatioN on Wednesday and so on and on. What he said, why not try them all. That's one if the main reason I rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TechSilver13:
Ive used them all. Id say ICScrewed and Sensation with Siyah kernel over unnamed. Battery life is simular with them all really. MIUI over them all

I want a legit poll. One to decide it all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] polobreaka:
im also interested in miui.

which rom really utilize the phone full potential?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msgfromside3:
Used miui (both variances) and now unnamed. Battery life is about the same and is largely depended on kernel. Used siyah for miui and entropy dd for unnamed. The reason for leaving miui was skrewed headset volume. Still monitoring to see if it gets fixed.

They are all awesome other than that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cosmos7:
I've tried both Unnamed and ICScrewed... didn't like the latter. Unnamed caused me some problems though since it flashes the baseband to UCKK6. Caused my wifi to go haywire and resetting every couple minutes. Once I flashed the modem back to UCKH7 things seem to be a bit more stable... so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wonner:
SensatioN because Crysis is the man.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ArtificialMusik:
I've literally been on every rom available for the SGH-i777. When I look for the rom that makes me happy, I look for the one with the most complete features. The only one to make me completely happy with battery life and features was UnNamed v2.0+. this rom is always kept in the most stable with almost a next day release if someone complains about anything. That's what I love about this rom. When people were having stability problems with the latest Entropy Kernel they changed it up and downgraded the kernel that very same day! Also, who was the very first rom to feature a working NFC?! :D GTG is a very friendly guy, ignores you if you dont get around the thread though, but its fine because if you question has been answered, why answer it again? Search next time!!

Anyways. Prior to UnNamed, My favorite was personally GalnetMIUI, official build with Task, the only thing that really kept me away was its instability, such as the screwed up headphone bug, which seems to be in CM7 pretty badly. (WHY HAS NO ONE FIXED THIS?) and the fact that there was no NFC, seems to be lacking features, and a lot of them. With MiLocker, I seem to be happy with UnNamed, I don't run into any problems except a delayed lock screen but meh, Who really locks there phone just to unlock it a second later? Lol.

So seriously, UnNamed 2 for the win !!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 21cdb:
I ran Unnamed all day yesterday, but I switched back to MIUI. I just think MIUI is more polished than any stock ROM, and has more features that make the phone more enjoyable to use. The battery life has been great, and it's been very stable. Every now and then I get the urge to try something else, but I don't really see a reason to switch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sardo Numspa:
i put UnNamed on mine first and really liked it but wanted more ICS flavor, so i switched to ICScrewD. really like the jkay app that comes with it. both were very stable for me and didnt have any problems, the only reason i switched was for visuals
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thehavock18:
I have tried and love all the roms. I finally settled with miui. All the features and menus just flow. It's fast stable had great battery life and has tons of themes to choose from. I might be biased since I ran miui on my captivate and just got used to it. I do change the launcher and run go launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] avidmovies:
Been on unnamed since day one, but recently switched to ICScrewed, and I'm liking them about the same so far, though I'm warming to ICScrewed.

I do like that ICScrewed has more bloat removed, and I LOVE jkaymod. If you want more customization, try out ICScrewed.

Only been rooted a week here and have only tried UnNamed and SHOstock and liking SHOstock much more even though it is not listed as a choice here..

I'd love to try them all BUT reinstalling and rearranging everything to my liking takes quite some time after flashing a new ROM, I saw UnNamed said not to use Titanium Backup up so I never downloaded it as a backup app, is there any Backup apps that will work when trying new ROMS?? It would make a world of difference in me trying more ROMS..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Qortez1:
I think it was said its ok to use titanium backup to restore apps just not to restore system apps. I've used it with unnamed and icscrewed everytime I wipe and install a newer version of the two and have not run into any problems with either on both of my GS2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevehkim:
ive also tried every single rom possible i777, or hellraise. i keep coming back to galnet miui 2.11.26 stable release. ive ran this stable for a month now without any hiccups. my second daily drivers are unnamed and sensation cant choose between the 2. but yea switching between roms is so easy if you have a nandroid backup. i probably flashed 4 roms yesterday and then reverted back to miui. good luck man in your quest.

So Unnamed rom bolstered the best battery life/smoothness out of those three?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DJSLINKARD:
Agreed with both of these. I have ran so many different ROMs on this phone so far and while galnetmiui was nice, it sucked ass on battery. cm7 blows in every category except customization and has been the worst rom ive tried. the two best are unnamed and icscrewed. my choice between the two is icscrewed because its so damn pretty and includes the jkaymod
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rcklss1:
I've used UnNamed, ICScrewed, SensatioN, CM7, Lidroid and SHOstock... Favorite I have to say is Sensation.. The UI is really nice.. does seem to be a little slower from time to time and has a little more battery drain than UnNamed (my 2nd choice) but the UI makes the SMALL sacrifices acceptable..

In order of favorite to least favorite:

Sensation

Unnamed

Shostock

Icscrewed

Lidroid

Cm7
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Gutterball:
I've tried them all some multiple times now. I gotta say that this one seems to be my favoite though "TASK650's ICS'd OUT! V9 ROM" Battery seems to be great too! I'm really liking this one! Think I've found my daily driver for now. There definetly should be a poll for this though and include all roms available not just the ones mentioned.

Will this also save my settings, layout, passwords so on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] polobreaka:
tibu does not save layouts. the only settings it might save are app settings, not phone setting. im not sure about passwords.

when you flash a new rom, you have to wipe data so it can install like it was a new phone.

there is no way to transfer layout settings from 1 rom to a different rom. you will have to readjust everything within each rom.

you can always do a nandroid for each different rom. a nandroid will save the whole phone as is when you performed the backup.

i have a nandroid for icsdout, icscrewed, sensation, unnamed, and miui.

Thanks Polo, last question; seems after using NoNamed my phone sees my SdCard as the phones memory and the phones card as the SdCard, that said TiPro put backups on the phones's card thinking it was the SD Card so will wiping before installing a new rom erase TiPro's backup file??
